Since the hardware of the Xperia Z1 and the Xperia Z1 compact are very similiar but just in different bodies, is there a way to enable glove mode on the Z1?

As far i know there is no glove mode on the Z1 because the screen already include that feature (capacitive screen), that works with my Adidas Climawarm glove.

I tried different gloves and none of them works. There is Pen mode that can be enabled like the one on the z Ultra. So I thought that there would also a glove mode

It's possible that some glove won't work, works with this one http://www.sportsshoes.com/product/adi4951/adidas-clima365-climawarm-running-gloves/ but i must admit that's not really perfect...
I could sometimes press something with my cheap ski gloves. I'm sure that it wasn't my finger touching it directly. It all depends from the gloves.

There is a thread that describes how to enable the pen mode on the Z1. It isn't difficult and would recommend to anyone with a rooted Z1.

The factory pre-applied ones are shatter-proof films, not screen protectors. Even before you apply the screen protector that came in the box, there's already a pre-applied shatter-proof film.
Like the z ultra can z1 use pencil input? Or did Sony add something to ultra's screen?
I was thinking maybe turn z1 sensitivity up?

Ultra Z has as far as I know added the resistive touchscreen layer on top of capacitive. so it's a no for Z1 unfortunately. I still hope that there will be available styluses with different levels of presure recognized - something like that for example: www.wacom.com/en/us/everyday/bamboo-stylus-feel
Thanks was some stupid youtube review said sony just turned sensitivity up on screen lol never mind.

Oddly, I've been able to use my Z1 with gloves though it works poorly.
Probably the one thing I miss about my htc one, along with the boom sound, external speakers kinda blow in The Z1.

You should change your phone because this doesn't have any of those.

Try Flipboard, it is similar to blinkfeed

Yeah quite a few people have always rubbished HTC sense, I have always really liked it more that any other phone OS out of the box.
Never used blink feed before, sounded like nonsense to me when I first heard about it, but yeah Sony's closest to that would be social life which IMO is crap to use never updated properly.
I think I recall a developer in the Xperia Z forum doing a whole HTC Sense project for the Xperia Z, maybe he has some way to port that over for you. Might pay to have a look over there as well.
Flipboard is probably your best bet.

True, didn't even think of that, well because I had never set up my social media part, will give it a go.
I think he might have been referring to nice widgets for the stream updates.
Hi, did you ever find anything similar/ as good as BlinkFeed? Am also considering the switch to the z1 from the HTC 1

Zl is better if you want a compact phone, but i would go for the z, becoz it has more devs.

no..i meant Z..its new in the box. not newer than z1.
BTW i decided against this swap - went to a sony store to check out the Z against my ZL...didnt quite like the bigger size and the flaps ..have a sony digicam with the flap which broke in a year..so not a big fan of that design..plus it feels bigger in hand..so decided to keep my ZL even though the deal itself was definitely good ..

Sent from my C6603
For me, the Z was too big.
Also, because of the shape and backplate, it's not comfortable to hold in 1 hand.
The ZL is much better, 7.5(!!)mm shorter and 2mm narrower.
Also has infrared and camera-button.
Z has more devs and waterproof.
Just decide which are important for you

Compatible parts
Hi, can someone help me? I buyed a digitaliser on ebay and I have replaced this fine, but the touch is very bad, very unresponsive, glove mode doesn,t work now and multitouch ******
The seller gave me the money back
Now I want to buy an ORIGINAL PART FROM SONY, not compatible parts. Where I can go to buy this?
Please help me! Now I have installed the broken glass because it works fine. I prefer the broken glass to a clean glass but unresponsive.
The Sony digitaliser contains both active and passive capacitors that's why it can have glove mode and mutitouch perhaps the digitaliser you bought only contained passive capacitors. That's the normal ones. Try a more expensive one. Also those problems could be caused by a bad connection try cleaning the connections with contact cleaner. If you want to be sure its a Sony part you may have to go to a Sony centre.

If its marked as an OEM part then it should be made by the same manufacturer as the original part so that would be your best bet. Unfortunately online it hard to be sure.

On my broken screen it says the same but "40" / "48" (i,m not sure because it,s installed yet) instead of "8" Can be a part of the region code?
The digitiser of the models C5302 / C5303 / C5306 / M35h are the same?
Thanks bro, this thread will help more people in the future
EDIT: On my original broken screen it says "44" xD
The xperia SP range are all identical hardware the difference is the radio baseband ie the frequencies they are capable of receiving. The C5302= 3g version C5303= global LTE/4G version and the C5306= american LTE version I would just buy an OEM digitaliser and fit that

More Info
I have found more information:
On the photo you can see how the fake glass have 3 dots on top when the original SP cristal have 2
On the picture is not appreciated but you can see how obviously the white is not the same in both, The original have a brilliant white and the fake have darker white.
When you give touches at the original cristal it feels sturdy but on the fake cristal sounds cheap
