Hello,

after a repair from a service center, i can see the backlight shine a little at the side in the darkness.

See: Light

Now i wanted to ask, if you can see this on a unrepaired unit, too?

Edit: And if yes, at which sides you can see it? I can see it left&top&right.

Could you check at which sides you can see it?

BR and Thanks

carrier aggregation is not supported on M51 I believe. And that decreases the speed of internet, while using through sim. Is there any way to Enable it?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] prabhuvignesh:
There is no way except Samsung giving firmware update(not oneui).And I think we have to wait for another good 2-3 months that to happen.

A very annoying thing happens when I open a text message on my Kaiser. The default vertical position is all the way at the bottom of the message, causing none of the message to actually show up on the screen. I always have to scroll to the top. This happens for all messages--unread, read, sent. Is there any way to change this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PGenneken:
If you have Kaisertweaks loaded ... under pocketie dpad scroll should be disabled. (believe that was a fix last time I searched..)

Did you try reconfiguring the access point for your carrier?

Or changing your network preference to allow only 4g

If not, last try could be finding the dev tools code you type on phone pad and changing the network type preference from there. By code I mean those that start with *#*#7379#*#* something like this

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] HackitZ:
hi all,

i order the phone from pda canada, the international version in blue.

i have read it's shipping out after october 15 and in other places read it's not shipping tell December.

where's the most accurate place to find info on the release date?.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] eqbirvin:
I believe the Oct 15th release is for the EU, UK, Asia, Aust. markets. for NA (including Ca.) the release date is Dec 4th. I could be TOTTALY wrong about that.

If your order does say that it is shipping out on oct 15th, I would stick by that information. I ordered mine from Germany and says it will be shipping the 15th.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] HackitZ:
thanks for the reply, yeah i hope because it's the international version it does ship out tomorrow.

Hi All.

Is anyone considering the iPhone 12 mini as an upgrade from the XZ1 compact?

My top features when considering a phone is:

- compact size

- good camera

- fast cpu

- easy to find good quality cases

I feel the iphone 12 mini has all of these. Though it has a few concerns when coming from the XZ1 compact

- no notification light? (how does the iPhone world survive without this?)

- ios

- no usb type c

PS I am not an IOS or Apple fan, but my XZ1 is dying now.. its not charging properly. 1 handed use is very important to me. Phone needs to fit in a jeans pocket, and be able to be held easy walking and texting, etc
[General Topics] betacrypt:
Curious if you hate Apple and iOS why are you suggesting iPhone 12 as an option on the XZ1C forum?

If anything the Galaxy S10e or Pixel 4a would make for a better upgrade as they are newer phones that actually run Android and are smaller than the iPhone 12.
[General Topics] Dean F:
I am not suggesting the iPhone12.

I am asking peoples opinion of the iPhone 12 MINI as an upgrade path from the xz1c, as these phones are the same size (give or take couple mm, and the mini is actually smaller by volume and lighter)

I am asking in the XZC1 forum specifically, because it is users of the XZ1 Compact specifically that have been left without a clear upgrade path to a similar size compact device.

These phones are in a different size category. I don't consider them them compact. The s10e is coming on for 2 years old soon, and the 4a is a midranger. Only the iphone 12 MINI is the same size, and it also offers a cpu and camera upgrade over the XZ1 Compact.
[General Topics] camaro322hp:
Interesting, I had not heard of the iPhone 12 mini until now. Just looked it up and the size is indeed great, just a hair taller than the XZ1C.

My opinion - my dislike of Apple is deep, so I would never consider owning an Apple product. I'd rather go for something a little bigger like the mentioned S10e or the Pixel 4a before going with Apple. Luckily, my XZ1C is still going strong, so I will use it until I can't anymore. However, if you're OK owning an Apple device, it does look like a nice little phone.

Hopefully, the iPhone 12 mini is a sales hit, and it encourages more manufacturers to offer small Android alternatives.

Size Comparison
[General Topics] SXUsr:
I'd rather buy another XZ1C than an iPhone, or settle for the inevitable and go go a bit larger.
[General Topics] i.j:
Totally agree with you. Apple has now in the market a similar size smartphone as the XZ1C. So people will back to appreciate the small size as an option, without sacrifice power and performance.

And concerning the question about changing my XZ1C for an iPhone 12 mini... no way!! the Galaxy S10e is the only option for the moment ( the Pixel4a lacks of microSD and the benchmarks are not the best)
[General Topics] Ephesus:
Same here. I saw the iPhone 12 mini and it looked very good hardware wise, almost exactly what I would want as an upgrade. Sadly iOS is a no go for me. I've run custom roms on every phone I've owned and I don't think I can go without modding and a headphone jack.

I just hope this pushes a new trend and other manufacturers will make some good compact devices again. It's a good day to be an iOS user.

For anyone interested in the size comparison I've attached a picture. Also you can check it here:

[General Topics] Dean F:
PS - Could anybody explain to me how phones with no notification LED work? I though that was a major disadvantage against the iphone, but now I realized the Pixel 4a also does not have one - so its a moot point.

If sound is off and you are not looking at your phone screen the exact time the message comes through - How do you know if u got a message?
[General Topics] Dean F:
It is VERY difficult to buy an XZ1c new. I have been checking the local sellers here in Taiwan, and they are out of stock for over a year already. Still out of stock today. Recently a few have been listed on ebay, but reading some of the negative feedback reviews, some buyer have complained the phones are sold as new, but are not new. I had this same problem with an Z3 Compact a few years back, so i'm scared to repeat it. Where can I get a guaranteed brand new XZ1c in 2020?
[General Topics] hemipowerd:
I was considering it.

Here's what I found out.

12 mini is thinner and narrower than xz1 compact. That's an awesome form factor.

12 mini is slightly taller than xz1 compact.

12 mini is also edge to edge display so I will still have to stretch my thumb to go from bottom to the top of the screen.

Deal breaker, no thanks.
[General Topics] T_Tank:
Why not a xperia xa2 or xz2 compact?

Honestly could not pay me to own a Apple product

I'm not rebuying all my apps and being stuck on a closed source profile
[General Topics] betacrypt:
Yeah only the OG Pixel had an LED notification, but for the Pixel 2 onward, they removed the light and pushed Always On display - so most users rely on Always On/Ambient display to see notifications instead of the light. I prefer the LED, I love how bright it is on the Xperia XC and still good although dimmer on the XZ1C.

As for the iPhone 12 Mini, I still don't see it as a viable alternative to the XZ1C, esp if we're talking OS. Sure if you only care about hardware dimensions I guess but the XZ1C still performs really well by 2020 standards and hopefully holds up for longer.
[General Topics] Shahnewaz:
Yes.

Z1 Compact -> XZ1 Compact -> iPhone 12 Mini? :confused:

I'm gonna wait a bit and see how other manufacturers react.

I had the Xperia 5 II on my list but honestly, while getting nearly everything right, that device is too tall. Just keep it small and forget the 21:9 crap.

The smaller battery on the iPhone 12 Mini could be a dealbreaker though. Lets see if the new device has a good runtime.
[General Topics] _Nexus8_:
On iOS when you receive a notification, it turns the screen on for a few seconds showing the notification on the lock screen instead of turning on the notification LED
[General Topics] komer:
This isn't actually replacement for notification led light. Android phones also turn screen on for few second when you receive a notification.

Led notification light blinks constantly so you can see missed notification even if you're not looking at your phone 24/7.

But people now-days mostly do look at their phones so often that they barely miss any of their notifications. So; notification light is kind of a relic :silly:

On the other hand, I'm "old" so I also prefer to have that little "RGB bulb" on my phone.
[General Topics] YamiYukiSenpai:
I have both iPhone 12 mini and Xperia XZ1 Compact. I prefer running with and iPhone and an Android phone, so I have both of them as a daily driver.

I trust Apple more in terms of privacy, but at the same time, I like Android's versatility
[General Topics] El Mik@:
I'm also consdering replacing the XZ1 Compact. Three years of active use behind and size of the phone has been perfect. GPS has started to be a problem lately (I need to drive around on my job). I don't use my phone for enterntainment a alot and also internet/browser use is casual.

I have been considering Unihertzs' devices. Mainly Jelly 2 when it's released during the next couple months:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jellyphone/jelly-2-worlds-smallest-android-10-4g-smartphone

Apples phone also interested me because their update cycles. If you buy phone now you can assume that you get at least 3 years of updates (or something like that).
[General Topics] lars85destroyer:
Wow this one is really tiny.

I also need to replace my XZ1C because of its faulty GPS. Can't find any alternative ... Would love to see a borderless XZ1C with a decent camera or a refreshed OnePlus X, but it won't happen anytime soon :/

Hopefully Apple will show them that the compact market is still strong.
[General Topics] _Nexus8_:
You're right, I prefer the LED notification too, you can easily see if you had received anything just by having a quick look at your phone :p
[General Topics] legacygt777:
I played around with an iphone 12 mini. It looks great and I wished a new xperia compact would release.

I don't like apple OS and the battery life on the iphone mini is not really good. Apple skimped out on the battery for this unit. Battery life is a deal breaker for me. Plus there's not fingerprint sensor.
[General Topics] El Mik@:
I took a jump to Pixel 4A. Decided that camera is important so I skipped Unihertzs' devices. Also considered iPhone MIni but prices here would be to steep (almost 800 euros compared to Pixel 4A's 340€). Apple's system is also what it is for a longtime WIndows/Android user.

Pixel is little bigger than XZ1 Compact but not too much after a week in use. Goes easily to pockets etc. Camera is much better in Pixel 4A.

Two sample photos attached (taken in same light and both are straight from cameras).
[General Topics] jrbmed08:
I have both phones because my work phone is a 12 mini and my backup personal phone is the XZ1c (currently using S10e as my daily driver). They are almost exactly the same body size, but the iphone is much easier to hold because it's curved instead of square. With iOS getting better and IMO Android getting worse with each iteration, switching to iOS wouldn't be a huge problem. Losing the headphone jack would for me...

Edit: The other big thing holding me back is the lack of both a fingerprint scanner and something like Smart Lock. I wear a mask every day for work even outside of the pandemic and can't deal with this face unlock crap.

Isnt that going to only be available in japan?

Also horrible design with that notch...
[General Topics] albenex:
had same trouble but eventually i opted for a X5II just because iphone 12 mini has a ridiculous undersized battery.

it would be ok for usual non-draining tasks thanks to iOs optimization but i would use it also for gaming purposes and spending ~800€ for a 3-4hrs SOT phone in 2020 wasn't a deal for me.

so i pre-ordered a X5II and up to now i'm an happy customer ^_^
[General Topics] mstrnemo:
I have thought about that aswell but i just couldnt get over how big it is for me.
[General Topics] rogier666:
XZ1c: 129 x 65 x 9.3 mm, 140 g

XZ2c: 135 x 65 x 12.1 mm, 168 g

X5 II: 147,1 x 71,6 x 9,2 mm, 172 g

The XZ2c and X5 II are not compact at all. The XZ1c is still the last compact android out there.

And Samsung's Galaxy A3 (2017), but its 16 GB of internal storage makes it all but unusable with apps growing bigger with every update.

At $700 US and up, I wouldn't call it "budget friendly".

This also isn't the place to (effectively) post an ad for the thing.
[General Topics] mstrnemo:
It does read as an ad i agree hahhahahha

but he does have a point at this point in time the iphone 12 mini is the only one in terms of size that can be compared to the mighty xz1 compact.
[General Topics] f000bar:
That wasn't their point point (all of two posts, I might add; the other one was a plug for an iPhone app), it was the point of the original poster, who was interested in a comparison of the two phones.

This reply added little of value in terms of tradeoffs, and merely pluged the 12 mini vs the 12.

To get back on track, I also considered it briefly, as I was having some battery issues with my XZ1c. As much as I appreciate the hardware and size, I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. I find the software unintuitive, and I don't appreciate the loss of flexibility. While I do appreciate Apple's recent direction of privacy, installing a custom rom and microg serves me pretty well, too.

I found another XZ1c for a good price, which will serve me for a few more years.

At that point, I'll have to decide again. I hope that there will be more options again, and if not, at least the 12 mini (or successor) will be a lot cheaper.

My hope is that success of the 12 mini will show some Android makers that there is a market for that size, opening it up for us again.
[General Topics] mstrnemo:
What kind of batterie issues did u do a clean software wipe to see if it is softwareproblem? or worstcase batterie is dieing but u can easily change it yoursellf is not that hard.

Sadly the 12 mini doesnt sell well for apple standards so this year is probally the last mini so i have red so who knows whats really going to happen.

Personally i cant stand apple so i was tempted but stil i would rather just buy a nother one but they are hard to find used where i live better luck with z5 compact or z3 compact they stil get custom rom updates wich is cool.

I dont think they android manufacturers wil go smaller then 145mm in length or 5.8 inches i wish they did
[General Topics] f000bar:
The overall dimension is my motivator, it's about size and one-handed use. So if they cut bezels, you can make a "bigger" (screen) phone that fits in a smaller package. So it's a bit hard for me to compare blindly on screen, when it isn't the thing I care about.

I had a battery bloat issue - while I suspect I could replace it, opening up the XZ1c is hard, and then closing it up again is tricky, not to mention losing water protection. So the replacement seemed easier, but it is a backup option if I need it.

I tried out a friend's Z5 briefly, but the XZ1 was superior, I liked the build and feel better, along with the positioning of buttons and the fingerprint scanner functioning better.
