I've ventured into the phone space to see what I can break. I'm interested in the different hats that cell phones can wear so to speak. I've (white) hacked a lot of things, so I'm excited to what's possible with cell phones. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to contribute and pay it forward! Cheers.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] skandi8877:
I'm contemplating purchasing the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact in 2023, but I have some concerns about its outdated Android 9 OS and the inability to install custom ROMs on the DOCOMO SO-02K VARIANT due to the locked bootloader. I would greatly appreciate your insights and advice on whether this device is still worth considering. Here are a few factors I'm considering:

Performance: Despite being released a few years ago, the Xperia XZ1 Compact boasts a powerful Snapdragon 835 processor and 4GB of RAM. Can it still handle everyday tasks smoothly, or does it struggle with more demanding apps and games?

Software Support: Android 9 seems outdated, especially with newer versions available. Is it still receiving security updates, and is there any indication of an official update to a more recent Android version? Additionally, are there any reliable custom ROMs that can breathe new life into this device, despite the locked bootloader?

Camera Quality: The Xperia XZ1 Compact's 19 MP rear camera was highly praised at its release. However, with the rapid advancements in smartphone photography, does it still hold up? Are there any notable limitations or issues I should be aware of?

Battery Life: How does the battery hold up in 2023? Does it still provide a decent day of usage, or does it drain quickly?

Alternative Options: Considering the limitations of the Xperia XZ1 Compact, are there any other compact-sized smartphones with better software support and customization options that you would recommend?

I understand that technology moves quickly, and the Xperia XZ1 Compact may not be the latest and greatest. However, I'm particularly drawn to its compact size, robust build, and Sony's reputation for durability. I value the opinions and experiences of the XDA community, so any insights you can provide would be immensely helpful.

Thanks in advance for your input, and I look forward to your responses!

Best regards.

I am in India and only the Japanese Docomo version is available here, the XZ1 Compact was never officially launched here but now many refurbished phone sellers are selling the Japanese imported variant.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] tonsofquestions:
As I said, the answer is different based on where you are and what's available.

I don't know the quality of the refurbishers there, which means (in particular) the battery life of the phones is less certain.

I'm sure it's possible to order from places online, but I can't tell you the difference in price, or whether that's worth the extra expense to you.

The Docomo version has slightly different hardware and cell bands. I don't know if you care about the NFC chip, and you're on your own to figure out if it will work with your local service providers.

A quick search on XDA shows that it's possible to still unlock the SO-02k model:

Can XZ1 Compact SO-02K run Custom ROMs?

I have successfully unlocked the bootloader for my SO-02K. Can I flash Lineage OS on it or are those only meant for G8441? Are there Custom ROMs for SO-02K? Thank you in advance.

But you will have to pay extra in order to do it - probably around 2000 INR (give or take). Is that worth it over another phone? Again, I cannot make that decision for you. Only you can decide how "compact" is compact enough for you.

And this thread about battery drain might be worth keeping in mind in case you run into it:

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] skandi8877:
Yeah, I don't think it's worth spending an extra 2000 rupees just to unlock the bootloader of a now 6-year-old phone, to be honest. I believe it would be better for me to get a phone like the Redmi Note 9, which is 3 years old, to use as a secondary device. It's easier to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMs on it, which was my initial motive that led me to consider the XZ1C. Of course, I won't have the small form factor or the premium metallic build of the XZ1C, but it seems like there's simply no other alternative in this price range☹️.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] tonsofquestions:
It's possible I did the currency conversion wrong. I don't know how much the phone would cost refurbished - I would have guessed somewhere around 10,000 rupees, if not more.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the price range for you.

How important is the compact to you? I would happily pay a 10-15% premium for that if it were an option.

But price might be more important factor for you than size, and there's no shame in that.

Or you could try the Stock version and re-sell it if you don't like it. I know it has a bunch of bloatware you can disable via ADB, but I'm not sure if the camera software is as good as the Sony one - which also impacts part of your question.

As I said in my first post, there just simply any other alternatives at this size anymore, and you're going to have to compromise somewhere. You either have to go Apple - and iOS, the XZ1c - with it's older hardware and potentially higher price, or a different Android phone - and compromise on the size. Only you can decide which option is the right one for you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] skandi8877:
Can't afford to spend more than 8000 rupees; yeah, you guessed it right. For me, price is greater than size in this context. The XZ1C Docomo variant is going for 6000-7900 here right now.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] tonsofquestions:
Well, at 6000, plus an unlock for 2000, you're just inside your budget. But I realize that's pushing it.

But you should do some looking around and price-checking yourself. I only followed the first link in one of the threads. There might be cheaper options, and you could see if they'd give a discount to you in another country, or for a significantly older phone. It never hurts to ask.

Or maybe you can find a refurbished one that's already unlocked - though that's probably not too likely.

If it's just a secondary device, then perhaps the compact-ness is less crucial to you. But the Redmi Note 9 is a good cm wider, not to mention a lot taller and more than 25% heavier. But I have heard good things.

I suspect once they're unlocked, they're equally easy to install custom ROMs on.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] W.M.D:
Run away.

I own two of this device in the international version and original and bought it new, Unfortunately, they died two years ago.

I don't know what to do with them and no one knows how to fix them.

Perhaps you need to unlock and install another ROM.

The original battery is weak, so how about the regenerator in China? Surely its battery is very bad and will spoil in less than three months.

My advice to you, don't ever think about it.

You could try the Samsung S10e. Its great. Almost same size as XZ1 Compact and it has android 12 and VoLTE/VoWiFi. Its lighter and thinner as well. Gps works better too.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] tonsofquestions:
Almost the same size? It's 5mm wider and 10mm longer, not to mention 10g _heaveier_ - though it is 1.4mm thinner.

Compare Samsung Galaxy S10e vs. Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact - GSMArena.com

Plus it's Samsung. so many of them can't be unlocked/rooted, if that's your thing.

But yes, it can go to Android 12 and has many of the same software features as other modern-day phones.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Random Android User:
In real life its not much noticeable. On the website it seems bigger. I got both phones.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] rhplusa10:
this have been issue for Pixel devices, proximity sensor not working properly.

Mine's on same boat, proximity sensor always read something blocks (distance 0cm).

actually it does not hurt for most of time, but only 2 things.

AOD turned off, i prefer AOD is always on..

display off when calling.

There is workaround.. just press the screen, the proximity area, then it works normally for a while.

I kept doing that, and it fixed for couple of months in last winter.

It started happening again when I stayed in Desert area, 90F over night.

looks like proximity sensor should be stuck on some "right" place, but glue does not hold it tight?

I donno... anyways, it happened again when weather comes warmer.

so, I was looking for a solution, just disable the proximity sensor, or make it always 5cm reading.

nothing works so far!

first trial. use "disable sensors" in developer option.

I created a tasker command for toggle that function --> this works. but...

it disables mic as well, cannot use during phone call.

for AOD, that command does not work when screen is off. command does not go through for AOD.

second trial. use disable sensor addon for xposed (now LSPOSED with magisk)

not working on Android 13 and 12.

Looks like it worked on Android 8 or 9? not an option for pixel 5.

I gave up at this point.

Pixel 5 is great phone, light and small enough, easy to carry. performance is not great but ok for me. battery life is also ok.

easy to unlock bootloader, flip to other custom roms..

because of only for this small proximity sensor, this is hard to use for me..

Is there any way to disable it?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] HT123:
see this thread for a general idea of what to do.

https://xdaforums.com/t/q-disable-proximity-sensor-via-terminal-emulator.2080214/

that is for a HTC phone and is a 10 year old thread but I think if you can identify the correct device you can use root to effectively prevent it from changing state.

Maybe not. its been a while since I messed with Android Internals.

Worth a try.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Devnikolus:
I recently got a refurbished Pixel 5 and had this same issue, a few searches on the internet and I learned about the screen gap fiasco. If I'm not wrong isn't the reason behind the proximity issue this same screen gap on top left. As far as mine is concerned, I heated it up a little to loosen the adhesive, covered it in a soft cloth and then applied a plastic clip I had lying around on top left for compression. I left it overnight and voila the sensor works perfectly now. Also I have a relatively tight case on.

My sensor started playing up this week, after reading your post I noticed the slight gap in the corner so i followed your instructions and it's all sorted. Nice one for the simple fix 👍

How to update Nokia Asha's firmware from 4.12 to 6.09 in 2023?

(RM-924 Model)

What I have tried to do so:

1.) Used the firmware posted here in this forum before (but it does not work).

2.) Tried Nokia Softwares like PC Suite but unfortunately, the server is now dead.

3.) I have found some flashing software but used the firmware of 4.12 and works but the 6.09 does not work.

4.) On the Air Firmware Update does not work now due to dead server.

Now, what should I do?

Active Links to tools and everything I will need.
[General Questions and Answers] thedoggybrad:
I hope that the version 6.09 will help me fix the issues of the current v4.12 (stock).
[General Questions and Answers] thedoggybrad:
Context: Why I did not upgrade it using the On the Air Firmware Update before?

Because, the software/firmware had a problem (since I guess 2015/2016, white screen not booting) and just reprogrammed it in 2021.
[General Questions and Answers] thedoggybrad:
Note: This is a Series 40 mobile phone (so there is no Custom Recovery).

Yes, I have tried the things you mention. I was able to find the version 4.12 (which is the stock version) and it works but what I want is version 6.09 (which is the final version) and the firmwares for version 6.09 does not work, the flashing tool stops and result my phone to partially work (boot and work but displaying weird characters).

What I really want is someone's help for the correct tools (flashing software) and firmware download links for RM-924.

I have tried a lot of firmwares and even some come from this forum but they did not work (or maybe they are for Nokia Asha 210 RM-925/926 and not RM-924, which is my model). I have followed a lot of tutorials which are not working and either resulting into a dead link or what I mentioned earlier failed flashing.

I really need the right tools and software, I know you will say just find something for that. Yes, yes, yes I have tried but they all fail. I cannot believe why they are not working and the flashing software says that there is a problem with the file. Note that I have tried more than 3 firmwares (same version - 6.09) and they all fail.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Joselof96:
Hello and welcome, today Ill teach you, how to enable naitive call recording on any rooted samsung A53

so requirements for this

.java needs to be installed on the pc

. rooted samsung A53 (obviously)

. a root file explorer of your choice, I personally recommend Solid explorer

. the the latest jar from https://github.com/fei-ke/OmcTextDecoder/releases

Preparing

on your phone, go to about phone>software information and look at what the Software provider software version says (i e in my case it would be EU)

after that go ahead and go to A)optics/configs/carriers/your csc code/conf/system/ OR B) optics/configs/carriers/single/your csc code/

and copy that csc file over to your phone.

after that download that jar file and put it in a folder somewhere, then drag that csc file from the phone into that folder.

now right klick in that folder and choose open in terminal.

in terminal paste this

java -jar omc-decoder.jar -i cscfeature.xml -o cscfeature_decoded.xml

now delete the orignal cscfeatures file, and then open the decoded one with notepad, and go to where it says feature set at the werey end of that line, hit enter then paste this

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

(note if you have diffirent country codes within your, cscfeatures.xml u must scroll down till u see your country code i e mine is under SE!!)

now klick save. and close notepad

now open the terminal again, if you closed it, just right klick and choose open in terminal.

then paste this

java -jar omc-decoder.jar -e -i cscfeature_decoded.xml -o cscfeature.xml

now u have an encrypted cscfeatures.xml, with call recording enabled, move it back to the phone, once back at the phone goahead and delete the stock cscfeatures.xml, then copy and paste the new freshly modified one, where the stock file used to be.

now reboot the phone, then go to the phone app, settings, and confirm that the call recording tab is under bixby calls.
