hi folks,
i want to change my htc one, i was first thinking of m8 or z2, but when i see the price, i am not that fast...
so i had a look to the z1 compact, wich seems quite nice, and i like what sony is doing these days.
first question i had in mind: is it possible to use the external microphone you can see in z2 accessories, and it seems that the answer is no, due to the 5 pin jack, bummer
now the other question, can you run lifelog on z1 ? i guess it should n be a probleme, if somebody can confirm, would be great.
i ve read here and there that the z1 camera was suffering of quality picture issues, did you guys got an update to fix that (knowing it s same camera than z2 )
Also on z2 they talk about steady motion for recording video, i guess it s only software stuff, is it implemented on the z1 ?
Thx for your replies
Good question about the mic, it has the same plug as my NC headphones I use
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/03/06/sony-stm10-stereo-microphone-priced-to-launch-in-early-april/
and those work on my Z1, not sure if the mic will work, I feel maybe the software isn't in the Z1 for it to work? perhaps once the Z2 comes out and the mic, sony will update z1 and the mic will work, why wouldn't they, would still permit z1 users to buy it and have it.

the issue about the external mic is hardware related and it will NEVER work on Z1
any ideas about the other points i ve mentioned?
Will fake controller works on PS certified on Z1?
i want to know it before i buy the controller...
is there any one that have ps3 tried to pair with Z1 using fake controller?
They will not as they don't recognize the protocol via USB Cable and the Bluetooth is the worse I ever see. If you want really enjoy the game buy the Original Joypad and connect it to Z1 via Bluetooth with Sixaxis. The best.
Source: I had fake one, sold for genuine, just troubles.
Thanks for the reply..
I got one and works perfectly with my phone..
Xperia Z1

Do you mean the fake one?
I'm considering getting this phone.
I have a Sony head unit quick supports MirrorLink. According to various press releases, this phone is supposed to support it, but I have heard mixed things about whether or not MirrorLink actually works.
Can anyone with a compatible car stereo please give it a try and let me know if/how MirrorLink works? It's the only thing keeping me from buying this phone.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I've still yet to hear anything about MirrorLink working, but I did find someone who didn't get it working, with some kind of 'no mirrorlink compatible applications found' type of error.
I'm hoping someone who has a mirrorlink compatible head unit and a Note 4 can chime in on this!
Sorry to shamelessly bump, but it's the deciding factor for me.
Mirrorlink Error Galaxy Note 4 and AppRadio3
I hooked up my Note 4 with my AppRadio3 and it tells me i have no supported applications. The phone starts mirrorlink and tells me it is connected and the mirrorlink icon on the stereo appears, but when i press the button, it gives me the error and has a black screen. I am using the pioneer Mirrorlink USB cables.
Thanks for that. I actually bought one before reading your comment, tried it, experienced the same problem, and returned the phone. Otherwise, was a great phone.
Mirrorlink Error Galaxy Note 4 and AppRadio3
Called pioneer. Found out all the new phones. M8 and note 4 use mirrorlink 1.1 and pioneer uses 1.0. They don't know when they will upgrade to the new standard.

I have an M8 and it works with my XAV-601BT, which is very old and only supports MirrorLink 1.0, so I am sure that the M8 is ok, at least with my unit.
At least since you have an AppRadio, you can probably use ARUnchained or the like, but you'll have to go through rooting and finding a kernel with permissive SELinux.
Have tried connecting my Note4 to my Pioneer 6000NEX. I do get a connected screen on my phone, but a blank screen on the deck itself. I hope they fix this soon. Appradio with the MHL connector works perfectly tho, BTW.
Pioneer no plans to update flash on current radios
I spoke with Pioneer today as my 4600BH is not working with mirrorlink and Note 4.
Pioneer rep told me they have no plans to update the current flash's of their radios as they run MirrorLink v1.0 and if I want MirrorLink to work to "Go out and buy a 2015 model"
Ya.... that is what they told me...... best customer service I have ever had....
Also MirrorLink (CCC) told me that they create the MirrorLink driver and that is all, the driver is sold to Samsung, Pioneer etc.... and the contract they sign places responsability of supporting the MirrorLink with their software on the hands of the company, not MirrorLink........

Mirror link does NOT work... Currently have a note 4 with a Pioneer 2015 deck Avh-x5700bhs
... The phone says connected but the head unit screen stays black... Pioneer offered no resolution and neither did Samsung
Avh-x5700bhs and mirrorlink
According to a review on Amazon... Mirrorlink is supposedly working now after Note 4 lollipop update... I however think it's bull, it was posted over a month ago and I don't think the note 4 revieved Android 5.0 on any carrier at the time.. Anyone confirm this??
lollipop

upside..downside... IF you have lollipop, note 4 and even the galaxy s6 WILL connect to mirrorlink, however.. it has yet to work LOL... it connects..says its connected..but the only app I have control over on the radio is my PHONE. no nav, maps ..nothing.. still cant figure out what im doing wrong..even spent money on a "special cable" that was required in order to allow connectivity

From what I'd heard, it's only the Note 4 that was having a problem. Other MirrorLink 1.1 Android Phones had no issues. No need to jump on the iPhone sheep wagon.
Hmmmn.... Samsung is for ever pissing me off... Never owned an iPhone and probably never will but everytime I try and leave Samsung they come out with something I want... The Note 5 for instance is rumored to be redesigned and incredible..

...and probably without a MicroSD slot.
Yeah, but if they offer 128gb of internal memory...im good with that or even an 80gb version... On board memory will make for a better experience anyway..micro sd cards are great but (for me)they're not needed. I have a class 10 64gb card in my device and I've never filled it up. I'll torrent movies straight to my device but, I don't keep them, once I watch them, I delete them. + my car deck reads jump drives so I keep my music on a jump drive and it's bad ass... So for me, I'll be good...
Disappointed...

I have the Note 4 with Lolipop 5.0.1 and a Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS head unit with the latest firmware from Pioneer (8.29) and mirror link will connect the phone to the deck, but the only app available is AppRadioLive, which in my opinion is totally useless.
Hi
I have z4 e6533 with android 7.0
I install "Xperia Led music" app.
But it not working.
Help me please....
Maybe it is not compatible.
And good to know that you have such battery life to waste with this. hehe
Good luck.
Buy Xperia SP if you like leds with music. You will get it really cheap. It is unique due to its three leds which are visible from front and back. I sold it to buy Xperia Z3+ and still missing it.
What's going on guys, I'm new to the android auto but not new to the rooting and flashing of Android devices.
Anyway, I own a 2007 Mercedes CLS 63. I have been looking to update the HU but I feel like I'm stuck in a twilight zone of decisions. The HU I want I'd like it to match the same bracket/buttons that my oem HU has. I found several websites that make these HU (Xtrons, Erisin, Joying(outdated hardware compared to the other two)). I been reading all over the Android auto topics for a week now and just need y'all experienced opinions. I want the New px5 chipset HU and I plan on installing it myself (hopefully with some help from you guys).
Units I am looking to buy
Xtron- PB76M211AP
or
Erisin- ES6501B
I heard pros and cons on both xtrons and erisin, I heard more pros on reliability of xtrons. Which one would you guys suggest?
Xtrons HU for my car on their official website is 100-150$ more then the ebay one, how come? Is the ebay seller lying that its xtron?
Is the wifi problem fixed? I plab on using my phone hotspot to watch sports/movies mostly since I work with my car mostly.
Is the screen mirroring reliable?
What entices me more then anything is the dash cam and reverse cam. I want my dash cam to record/take a screen shot when the car is off and the car gets bumped from parking (NYC parking is atrocious). I just finished putting 13k onto my car because a lady that didnt know how to park messed up my front end, lady its an expensive car! Luckily insurance took care of it.
That's it for now id appreciate any help, I love the idea of an android HU, but if it's more of a hassle then it is worth it then I'm just going to stay oem.
