[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] gabrieltg:
Hi. Sorry for my English. I have a problem with the display on my XZ1c. The same problem as with my previous z3c (3 times!). The screen takes off in the upper left corner. They have repaired it and after 1 year .... again !! Has anyone had that problem? I have had 9 Sony Xperia but I no longer trust ...

I do not want a larger size and the ONLY possible option is the future Iphone 12 (same size as XZ1c). But I like Android ...:(
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] SXUsr:
No issues here, and I've had mine from the start.

I'd rather have a slightly larger screen than any iPhone, so if you consider that to be an option of any kind I'd jump ship now.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] huzi7868:

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] gabrieltg:
Thank you.

I prefer Android. I have never used Iphone. I know this forum is from Android but ... why don't you advise using IPhone?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] betacrypt:
It's a really annoying problem that I had many times with my Z3Cs. The device still has a lot of support but I'd never go back to it.

I currently have two X Compacts and two XZ1 Compacts and fortunately none of them have this issue (yet). I haven't seen any other reports of it on here before.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Ephesus:
I replaced the screen on my XZ1c because I was having the same issue with the screen lifting up and the screen also had weird splotches of color either from it being bent out all kinds of stuff getting in there. Here are my experiences.

The way I fixed it was to buy some b7000 glue from Amazon and just put glue where the screen is lifting up.

https://www.amazon.com/Catpalm-Adhe...keywords=b7000+adhesive&qid=1590475714&sr=8-3

If that doesn't work I would recommend removing the whole screen, purchasing the screen adhesive strip from somewhere like witrigs

Link to adhesive:

https://www.witrigs.com/witrigs-back-cover-sticker-for-sony-xperia-xz1-compact

Then glue the screen back on with the adhesive strip and put a layer of b7000 all around the back of the screen. Just make sure not to put too much. This worked for me and I tested it and it's still waterproof.

But obviously I wouldn't recommend testings that.

Also if any of the glue is sticking out at the end it can be cut off our pulled off after it has dried.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Ephesus:
I would recommend checking out the Galaxy S10e, it is a pretty great device which is not much larger than our beloved XZ1c, and some of the XZ1c developers are moving over to it too.

Here are the specifications for the Galaxy S10e:

https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s10e-9537.php

I also attached a picture showing the size of the phones next to each other and some other phones.

One last thing,

I would recommend looking at this thread to see if they have other phone ideas:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz1-compact/help/alternative-to-xz1c-t3890142/page1
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] betacrypt:
The Galaxy S10e 5.8“ is substantially larger than the XZ1C 4.6“ screen. I'd go with a Pixel 1 at 5.0" before going to a 5.8" screen.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Ephesus:
That's true.

Though the overall size of the S10e is the same as the Pixel 1. The S10e has a larger screen since it has smaller bezels all around.

So if phone size is important it and not specifically the screen size I think it has better hardware, although worse developer support for now, I'm guessing. And battery life also isn't as good.

(Comparison in attached pictures)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] antoniu200:
Old thread, but still very relevant.

I am interested to know what would be the best solution in this case for the XZ1 Compact. I can see that even the adhesive Sony is selling to ASWO for this device is not gluing the screen onto the body properly.

How is that Witrigs adhesive? Is it water resistent in and of itself or just as good as the Sony one?

Did anyone try heating it up before and after placing the screen onto the body?

EDIT: The adhesive is Hot-Melt. Heat it up to at least 60 C and it will glue the screen like factory.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 5G Questions & Answers] ttesty:
Hi,

Anyone know of plans for LineageOS support (or other custom ROM's) for this unique model? Most of the ROMs are stock or for the Exynos model - not looking for that.

I'm still using a Galaxy S5 with each new Android OS release (now LineageOS 17.1) - looking to upgrade. The S10 5G Sprint (G977P) model allows bootloader unlocking, has a headphone/mic jack and has a capable notification LED around the front camera (unlike the S20 models). And the S10 5G (Sprint) is much cheaper now on eBay- $500-$600, less for preowned. Plan to use this phone on AT&T bands, despite the chance that 5G may not work well or at all.

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Hey everyone,

my name is Marc and my partner and I developed a security app that we released recently to Google Play. [1]

We called it SRT Vault and it makes use of Android’s work profiles to create a second manageable and secure environment and allows you to install arbitrary apps in this secure profile. This environment gives users at least the possibility to have a second layer of data protection on their phone.

Apps inside and outside are not able to freely communicate with each other. But that’s not all. We want our users to be able to not only to make their data only available to certain apps. We want to give them the power to make this information only available to certain people even thought others might be able to access their phones.

Like a vault inside a bank or a laboratory, our app is a place to store the most precious data or the most dangerous. Even the presence of our application and its app icon could be an information leak. Therefore we created the necessary means to hide both away.

It's in an early access phase and we would love your insights, feedback and help with it. If you want to, we'd want you to test the hell out of this app.

Please feel free to ask any question and suguest anything that comes to you mind.

TL;DR

We created an app to protect your data from other apps and people that might access your phone and we would love the feedback of the community.

[1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.srt.vault
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
New Version - WHAT’S NEW

Manage in the settings if bluetooth devices can read the contacts in your Vault

Main Features:

Data separation: Create a secure and protected environment on your device.

Install new applications into the SRT Vault.

Freeze: Deactivate and reactivate applications in the SRT Vault so that they disappear completely.

Hide the SRT Vault in the app list so that it is no longer visible.
[Android Apps and Games] mtpektas:
You should post this app on Samsung forums. People searching safe folder alternative. Because if we root our samsung phones, safe folder function become useless. Great work m8. Continue like that...
[Android Apps and Games] ramoneluis:
Man, that is a amazing app.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Thanks, we are happy you like the app,

In our next update you'll get a dark mode, file transfer into and out off the Vault and much more.

We are really excited and hope you enjoy it. ;)

Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
Hey I could test the app if u r interested
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
You can just download it, like any other app from Google Play [1].

As soon as the features are tested by us and up to our standards, we will release an update there!

Or do you have alpha testing of our unreleased features in mind? ;)

[1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.srt.vault
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Sorry for the late reply to your post. I actually had to discuss this.

As long as work profiles are working on the android build you are using on your rooted device, you can use the SRT Vault as an alternative.

We are already providing similar functionalities and we are going to expand on them soon! ;)

However, we encountered some Samsung (Android) builds that prevent work profiles from being created on rooted devices. :(

Have you tried it out? Any suggestions where whe should post our app?
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Btw guys. Thank you for your feedback so far! :)

We want to create an application that gives you as much control over your data as possible. And we couldn't do it without your feedback.

So if you have any suggestions, questions or feedback don't be hesitant. Ask and/or propose whatever you like! That's what we're here for! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
I have already installed the early access builds

I was thinking about alpha releases ??

But if u r not interested, no problem:good:
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
No, on the contrary, we are really interested in getting feedback as early as possible.

We'll contact you via a PM. Thank you! :)
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Major Update coming next week (#FileTransfer, #DarkMode), stay tuned!

We have a lot of planned features (e. g. #EasyContactTransfer), but we want to give you the opportunity to decide one feature that should come next.

We want to know which of the following two features you want:

a.) Opening the hidden SRT Vault (without icon) by calling a secret number.

b.) Taking a mugshot of an intruder failing to unlock your vault.

As always if you come up with another feature you would like us to realize, let us now in the comments.
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
a is the choice
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
[Update] SRT Vault

We are happy to announce our new update, covering two highly anticipated features.

What's New?

- File-transfer: you can transfer files between the Vault (work profile) storage and the normal file storage.

- Vault-Lock: lock your SRT Vault app with a Pin or Fingerprint.

- Dark/Light Mode: in the settings you can activate the dark mode or tie the mode to the system configuration.

When will it be available?

- Right now, if it is not already queued in your automatic update list, you can trigger the update manually in the Play store
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
Clone existing apps not working for split/bundled apps like chrome ,YouTube and all....
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Thanks for the feedback,

could you clarify which device and android version you are using?
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
Poco f1 lineage os Android 10 rooted
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
So far we recieved a lot of feedback (most of it via mail) and the current favourite by a small margin is:

a.) Opening the hidden SRT Vault (without icon) by calling a secret number.​

So if you'd prefer the mugshot feature write us! If you wanna make sure that the hide/opening functionality stays in development write us as well. ;)

Thanks to all of you who participated so far! We hope you enjoy our app and that you are as excited about our upcoming features as we are. :)
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Thanks for hinting this! We were able to find a solution for this corner case and with the next update, the SRT Vault will be able to install split apks. :)

[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Thanks!

We distinguish ourself with our:

Practical file (and other data exchange #staytuned) between the two profiles that works out of the box

Helpful and convenient features like: hide the SRT Vault, hide/freeze apps inside, pinlock the SRT Vault (work profile)

More user friendly UI/UX and Easier setup

...just to name a few. ;)

And we are in active development. We have many ideas. With your help, we want to make our app even better than it already is.
[Android Apps and Games] thisisarjun:
No news about updates on XDA...
[Android Apps and Games] SRT GmbH:
Sorry for the late Announcement, we're busy with development.

Last week we published an update, check it out!

What's New?

- Contact management: Activate the contact management in the settings to import your contacts and to manage them in the work profile.

- App Control: You can lock the Vault or hide your running Apps directly from their Notification.

- File-transfer 2.0: You can select multiple files for transfer between the Vault (work profile) storage and the normal file storage.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sumedh_:
MANY CAMERA FEATURES ARE INDEED REMOVED IN THIS UPDATE WHILE MAKING NIGHTMODE UNUSABLE

Night mode is broken, doesn't seem to work properly !

The images are now noisy & over exposed.

Problem :

Nightmode images are clicked instantly now, thus there's no improvement. Previously it took 2-3 secs to capture the images, thus giving better output.

Other Stuff :

• Normal Daylight shots seems to be marginally improved. Images are a bit sharper with less noise.

• Camera UI lag is considerably reduced.

• You cannot adjust brightness manually in wide angle lens now.

• You now cannot zoom in 25MP mode

> The previous night mode was much better, as shown below !

( Image taken before & after updating )

Using A505F - Indian Variant !

Anyone else facing the same issue ?

The phone speaker output is lil louder than before XD

Dusk or darkness, A50 never overexposed this badly in nightmode.

yes! night mode effect is very subtle and images are also washed out not at all usable.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sumedh_:
Also you cannot adjust brightness in wide angle nor can you zoom in while using 25MP mode like you could previously.

Seems like a cheap move by Samsung.

An online fix required me to press the power button with the volume button but i obviously cant do that.

It isn't switched off but it's also not switched on either. Please help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Droidriven:
Stop being so cheap, repair your hardware buttons, you should have done it a long time ago, the buttons can't be that expensive. By not fixing them, you doomed yourself into being caught in this situation. Did you actually think you could just continue using the device in that manner without running into serious issues at some point that would require using the buttons to be able to fix the issue. Don't be ignorant.

If the power button hardware is damaged, have it repaired.

If the device is not worth spending the money to repair it, get a new device.

Take your pick, spend money to fix your Note 4 or spend money to buy a new device.

Those are your choices, whether you like it or not.

Samsung has built-in drivers and supported various 3rd party controllers including the official ones such as the PlayStation controllers or the Xbox controllers.
