[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M1cr0n Cell:
This Imei is interesting... EU models officals are 35428207..... If you bought it from ebay it is fake as i said.... SO-02H cracked with E5823 without NFC.... made in pakistan.... on white label which you can find take off the phone at SD card slot what is written there,,,,, mede in? China or Malaysia... are originals..... or nothing.... if nothing... your phone is repacked and have no original IMEI id... it was completed from many pieces... no real ID. Fake id.

when they puzzle this in pakistan, they change also original imei numbers.... so you have z5 compact, but operator sees something different :) let me check it...

so at pakistan they choosed Z5 imei.... they have mega database to choose from.... your imei is not z5 compact but Z5 imei... your model is So-02H with cracked E5823 and changed IMEI..... like in cars.... your have stolen VIN someones vin number :) operator thinks you have Z5, but you have compact....this is how it works... new imei new identity....IMEI is cracked.... so you are not able to check how old your phone is.... where was made.... when and nothing.... it takes others completed mobile identity :)

Interesting funny business.... isnot it??? :)

But be sure, you are not only one.... there are 100.000 and more phones around the world.... with new identity... fake IMEIs....cracked and rooted....and user know ****.... he believes.... only.

let me make same test with one of mine white.... ok... display was not good, batery too..... repacked cover with screen and lcd "all in one" to new and brand new original batery.... now it is RE-NEWed. Nice to see nice to touch.... absolutely new :) maybe water resist still.... but no I dont want to test it :) it should be....

I have 2x china and 1x Malaysia it is strange... because all have 07 facility at imei at the end. It should be facility number.... but who knows.... some were chinese some malaysians.... :) but they are originals- inside motherboards have everything.... so 35428207-----That´s it. numbers after 07 are numbers of production-sold.... begins 1 finish 9 after 07....

I have one piece special.... which I am using.... when guarantee finished it came to SONY service and it was replaced with new model, Man who sells it didnot know it :) He didnot use it and let it in drawer 4.... 3 years..... after sold it me at ebay. Wow..... last Z5 compact one of last z5 compacts.... 3 years younger than others :)

warranty finished last year 2020 07. Funny.... Jack connector I had to fix... someone made a mistake, it touched speaker, so it taked batery... electro shock.... but I understand that this mistake can be made at original Sony service also.... dont play with jack :) check jack.... I have fixed it and made me smile.... last made z5 compact like a new.... wow..... 354282079698003 perfect now. jack is okey :) My baby...... newest, but had to be fixed....

some needs new speakers.... and so on..... but funny is that it doesnot matter how old phones Z5c´s are.... first models of production can be same great as last one´s..... it doesnot matter how old they are....

official originals are same.... same motherboards.... if problem, user is the main problem :)
