[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] thref23:
I've searched the web for a replacement battery, but they are apparently hard to come by and not cheap. Is there a reason for this?

I got about three good years of daily use out of my battery. But it's been slowly downhill since. Streaming video, I get maybe 2 hours screen on time right now, and the percentage is screwy. That isn't horrible per se, but it's only going to get worse.

Has anybody here replaced their battery? And/or, any recommendations for a replacement? Galaxy Tab S2 seems nice. Media Pad M5 has better specs and I think has band 12, but is more expensive and is Huawei.

Android tablets are almost dead. I'd get a 2018 iPad if I were you. The new iPad is great value for money at just $329

But if you really want android, chromebook tablets should be good or if you can find Sony z4 tablet, that's good too.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] thref23:
Z4 tablet isn't pocketable. iPad doesn't work as a cell phone (and is iOS).

Have you had any success?

I love my Z3 tablet compact. But the battery on it has gone into bulge/swell mode, so much so that it actually pushed the screen off the frame. This is now a safety issue so I need to have it replaced, but it's seemingly impossible to find a replacement, and Sony itself is not helping ("we no longer support this"). Does anyone have a source for a compatible replacement? I wouldn't mind if it didn't have the exact same specs, it's just gotta fit in and work

It's odd, I have both a Z2 tablet and a Z3 tablet compact, and both their batteries went into expansion/bulge phase a week from each other. I'm now actually keeping both of them in a metal box with bottled water all around them for fear of fire; I do NOT want to throw them away (working fine otherwise). But I desperately need replacement batteries, and Sony is of no help whatsoever.

thanks for the links, "seller refurbished", hrm... (but then it's not like I have much of a choice...)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] Mostar088:
The second link is a new battery.

New. A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. See the seller's listing for full details.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] weilt:
ah, thanks again.

I have to say one thing about buying online like this, is whether something marked "new" really is though... but I suppose I don't really have any options
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] thref23:
I eventually bought a Mediapad M5 8.4. The bands are a little different (but fine for T-Mo or AT&T), it's not nearly as light, and I miss Intelligent Backlight Control of all things. But it's a viable replacement with better specs, the media/multitasking experience is better and the screen is better. Ran me $450.

Lenovo Tab 4 Plus 8 is another viable solution, it is about as compact as the Z3TC and the 64/4GB version can be bought for $350.

The cheapest battery I have found is this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bateria-Or...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

$56 is still kind of expensive for a replacement battery, although I'll probably spend it eventually if I don't find something cheaper. I've been meaning to stop by Batteries Plus to see if they have anything they could order. I also don't know how easy the actual battery replacement is.

Thanks for the links. They don't ship to the US, though...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] weilt:
update for anyone who is interested -

it turns out that Sony Hong Kong still lists the Z3 Tablet compact as a supported device and apparently can get parts for it (though not instantly - I was given a two-week lead time for the battery).

There is a HK$150 diagnosis fee, and the replacement battery is another HK$150, which sounded fair to me so I gave them the go ahead.

Incidentally this does NOT include waterproofing, and they quoted me, for a battery replacement AND waterproofing, over HK$2000 (currently above US$250). I decided I could live without waterproofing.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] alancai:
just hk 300 in total?! wow. i have just used toothpick to poke my battery. waterproofing is the sticky foam rim.

would they wipe your tablet? if yes, no thanks for me.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] weilt:
I was pleasantly surprised by the battery price (I kind of wanted the waterproofing but HKD2000+ is too much). they said they might wipe (you can't backup?).

what do you mean toothpick to poke? You mean to release the "swelling" of the battery? I've heard that is a VERY BAD IDEA. it's apparently hydrogen + various toxic gases inside. Plus chance of catching fire?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] alancai:
don't like the idea need to install everything and config again. pls let us know if it wipe. if not i may change battery if the battery finally dies.

mine is just swollen but can keep charge, very strange.

yep, releasing the gas.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

how long do you need to let them keep your toy for repairs please?

or u can take it away while u r waiting for the battery.

if they are willing to sell me the battery and gasket tape. i would rather do it myself than their technicician.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] weilt:
swollen doesn't mean it won't hold charge.

What I understand is it means the materials inside have broken down, and gas is being generated, a mix of hydrogen (flammable) and other not-good-for-human-exposure substances. If what I read is correct, once it starts swelling, if you keep using it (more charge/discharge cycles) you are going to generate even more gas and making it more likely to eventually combust. I think you're asking for trouble to keep using it.

Sony HK took my device in, and are estimating 2-3 weeks turnaround time (they need to obtain the parts from somewhere). I do not expect them to sell you parts. They will also need to see proof of purchase before taking your device in (I think to check it's not a stolen device etc.).
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] alancai:
I don't have receipt anymore. Such stupid policy.

2 to 3 weeks no access to your tablet?!

Would wait for your update
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] weilt:
Ok, a further update - was ready for collection last week, have picked it up, everything seems to work. Total HKD299 spent to replace battery. My tablet was NOT wiped, i.e. everything was as I submitted it (I figure since it's a battery and not logic-board swap, the technician wasn't going to do unnecessary work anyway), but I think it's a requirement to sign an acknowledgement that everything could be wiped, I think you can't get around it if they do. I checked and they will NOT sell you parts, it must be a service submission + you must have proof of purchase (I bought mine online - the e mail acknowledgement was good enough for them).

alancai, there seems to be consensus on the people I've checked with + websites I've looked at that what you're doing w.r.t. poking holes to release the gas buildup is potentially dangerous. You *might* be selflessly volunteering to force Sony to implement a global battery swap/replacement program once yours catches fire/kills you/does something that puts the "Sony" brand in the news, but I'm not sure the Sony user community should demand this level of sacrifice from you... .
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] alancai:
battery already poked. so as my MacBook battery poked. both still keep charge. but 300 hkd is ok if from official outsource company. even taobao battery and the sticker rim would cost almost half of 300.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

i no longer have any proof of purchase. just the tablet now. but i guess they can check sn to see if it's their goods.

Hello.Last time about 3 years ago I tried to replace mine,I damaged my tablet's pin and then I bought again a same used one.Now after 3 years not using it,I saw that there was Lineage is 18.1 for it.I flashed it and my tablet is back to real android world.So my question is,how did u replace the battery as regard the 2 small pins that are covered with a small black removable plastic cap?At that point I made the permanent damage.Also any new battery you suggest me to buy?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] alancai:
sorry, i haven't used it for ages, though i still have the device myself. probably going to bin soon. just pull holding the tab, instead of cable. it should come off. obviously, i won't remember the battery change stuff, if you haven't quoted me, would have forgotten all about it. life have different priorities these days. simply no time for gadgets.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Accessories] kos25k:
Oh..Sorry for bothering dude.My only question was only as regard the 2 closely pins placed under the small black removable plastic!If there is some trick not to break it again.Sorry again,I hope the best to your real life!!!

No Gorilla Glass as ASUS has already confirmed amidst the speculations, but, BUT, it has a special screen protection by ASUS which they claim isn't bad at all, of course, it ca't be compared with the Corning Gorilla Glass as yet. I don't know the quality of that screen's protection but ti should be better than a normal screen of course..

Moreover, this shouldn't really be a big concern as most users will have a tempered glass protection on top. So nothing to worry about.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] amolebirje1982:
scratch resistance and impact resistance are two dirrerent things. Impact resistant glass would not mean its scratch resistant. If the phone falls down on screen, it might not shatter, but through daily use, you'd probably get scratches easily. Better get a good quality tempered glass for protecting against scratches.

Just buy a tempered glass on Tokopedia, it's dirt cheap and costs like around 20k Rupiah (which is the cheapest) and around 100k for the most expensive.

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Aalesund:
Your phone was single sim with only one IMEI.

Obviously you have used the Dual Sim OEMinfo and Dual Sim ROM. Because the phone has no 2nd IMEI you see 0000.... as IMEI2.

If you wan to have only one IMEI you have to install Single sim OEMinfo and then Single Sim ROM B207. But then your phone will be only Single SIM.

You need to know this: B197 is Single SIM ROM, B198 is Dual SIM ROM.

You have 2 choices:

-> One IMEI with Single Sim B197

-> Two IMEIs (Real IMEI + 0000 IMEI) with Dual Sim B198

It's impossible one IMEI with Dual SIM!!!

If you want to convert Dual Sim to Single sim just install TWRP and then use RESTORE option to install Single SIM OEMinfo

Single SIM OEMinfo LX1AC432: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-k_1rnfFeEvTjkyLXNSVjVTSm8/view

Then you can install B197.

But why you want Single sim phone?
