best bet would be run a benchmark and see how it performs. If its a knock off it will not have a s800

Dock

Hi all,
Just a quick question that I have asked bit no one has been able to give me answer, I've seen a couple of YouTube reviews of the Xperia Z and some have said that the dock comes as standard in the box, can anyone confirm this please?

Only in Japanese Docomo branded version.
So the answer is: the dock is not included unless stated otherwise. In some countries/carriers you may receive it as a bundle/pre-order gift ( i heard the French will get it ) but in general it's not included.
AW: Dock
The Dock is in Germany includet too.

Yes, indeed. I pre-ordered mine by Amazon. It comes with the dock and 2 nfc-tags.

will the dock charge slower than the micro USB?

Can't see a reason for that. I'm sure it won't

I would doubt it, it is possible that it could also charge faster depending on the amperage.

[Q] Bootloader bricked, unbricking project?

hey guys,
i appear once again in need of help.
long story short, ran the RUU, phone proceeded to shut down,
never powered back up.
now i can't get it into bootloader,
although it is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
Just asking if there is an unbricking project for this phone?
and is it worth sending this phone to HTC for repairs?
This phone is also suspected to have a dying/dead internal memory.
Cheers guys!
EDIT: did at least 20 battery pulls and it will not show charging light when plugged into wall.

Dying/dead internal memory? Mobo replacement would do the trick. And nothing else.

I did a really quick search of HTC Motherboard replacement and it would cost over a $100 USD. In my opinion its not worth it unless you are gonna be using ure HTC Incredible S after you receive the Xperia Z. My recommendation would be to wait for those 2 weeks for the Xperia Z
Sorry but the rc's also said your motherboard is gone
Time for a HTC one

[Q]

Ok guys, help.
I'll get a new smartphone tomorrow and would like to know the honest opinion of you.
I'm in doubt between the following devices:
- Xperia V;
- Xperia T;
- HTC ONE X;
I know there are differences, but in general, including development of xda and quality hardware ..... What is the best choice?
I have no idea about the one x, but for dev definitely the Xperia t, my personal opinion is that the Xperia t looks better also then the other two.
About build quality, my Xperia t feels rock solids. Nice and premium feel when I hold it. Not plasticy like Samsung

You need to make sure you get an unlocked phone though, perhaps from carphone warehouse or phones 4u.
If you get a network locked one, more than likely you won't be able to unlock the bootloader.

Dont buy the Xperia T from a carrier as it will be 99.8% locked because the carrier asks sony to lock the bootloader permanently, If you get a device that can be unlocked then use sony's method

waste of money and a minor performance bost/upgrade to S5's 801 Snapdragon processor.
stick with the Z1, until at least the 805 processor based phones come out and you have a significant upgrade.

hi i was the same got rid of my s4 for z1, but i am sick of having to keep buying new devices every 4-6 months, just wait abit longer, z1 is not a bad phone, but the magic of sammy is calling lol, good luck with your decission, regards joe,
Despite the fact that it's really not an upgrade to go to S5, Samsung looks like sh1t compared to Z1 Z1 is a classy phone that looks good even if you're a businessman. S5 is a phone for people who just care about performance, that's my opinion.

..with a good Rooted Rom and Custom kernel you can Pimp your Phone and customize RGB and Withe Balance and 60% of bad angles you get rid of it.
If only I could find a phone with a decent 180 degree viewing angle......

You do NOT need to unlock the bootloader to gain root.
You do not void your warranty as rooting is a two way process
Also, as for guides...please search there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts explaining how to do it. (I myself write it about 4 times a day, so one more wont hurt)
1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 for your phone (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Instal Dual Recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Flash a 757 pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Find them in the development section)
Done
Thanks a lot,
One more thing I don't like In sony devices their software never bug free and launcher not so smooth/tweaked, wallpaper scrolling like less fps, touchscreen start miss after 2 days, I restart my phone then touch screen runs fine for more 2 days..
These Things Sony always fail to provide better software, waited 2 years but still sony behaves like noob,
Hardware wise like camera sound no doubt, it's nice. But software always buggy.

s5 is a bit better in performance but seems quite few that u cant feel the difference
z1 got a better camera and more stylish in my opinion
also the sony audio effects (u might be able to flash them on samsung anyway)
Z1 is a good phone, and if you like it, then don't upgrade to a new phone and wait till there is a phone you really want.
Guys is the touch screen dsync issue normal? I get it very slight, after 2 days I need to restart my phone to fix it, then it works fine.. Touch screen dsync issue is always happens it happens very less, mostly after 2 days of restart..
Is that normal?

[Q] Do you recommend?

Hello people. My old friend Nexus 4 is officialy dead right now (after 2 years i think) and now i want to buy z3 compact tomorrow. I read lots of good things about this phone but i also read some bad user reviews about the body and screen quality of this phone. So my question is do you still recommend this phone at the moment? Thanks!
Yes. Still one of the best phones ever and probably the best Sony phone. It has everything in one single package

Doesn't that go for any smartphone out there?
It depends...
I have had the Nexus 4 as well and I think that the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is a fantastic phone.
You should choose it if it is important for you to have a small(ish) phone that is waterproof. Otherwise when you come from the Nexus 4 - why not Nexus 5...? (Or 6 if the size doesn't scare you...)
Thank you very much for your answers guys. I got the phone right now and i am really loving it at the moment
