Questions before buy a z1

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

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?

Sony Earphone MH1

So i just bought the wrong version of the sony mh1
i shudve bought mh1C for my Z1..
because the mh1 doesnt support "sony" devices
only supports "sony erricson" devices..
is there any "fix" or soultion to make it works ?
thankyou

That's because the pins are inverted... Old sony phones before Xperia S has a different phone jack hence it's not compatible. Although there are converters sold for that. Just forgot the name :/

Use the aux cable extender.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app

i bought a converter but it seems i have bought the wrong one :/
could anyone point me which one is the right converter ?
thankyou

[Q] MirrorLink

Hi,
Can anyone confirm or deny that Z3C is working with Toyota Touch 2 with MirrorLink connection?
I'm going to buy new phone, and Z3C is on my short list.

Unfortunately Sony and Toyota are not friends... don't know why ( money i suppose ).
And I am also curious if z3compact can be mirrorlinked to TT2, so if anyone can check this please give us a hand.
It dosen't work for z1 and z1c.

Rear camera replacement with z5 camera is possible?

My rear camera broken i want to replace it New one. Looking at ebay i see z5 rear camera hardware same connection with z3c camera. Is that possible replacement anybody idea?

I don't think it can be done but in fact they looks quite the same. You can replace Z3 <--> Z3c and Z1 <--> Z1c but I don't think it gonna work after replacing across different models.

maybe modified rom and install z5 cam app it can possible. even camera app upgrade possible for z3 we sure about that

I think even if connector is the same phone must have dedicated driver to work with peripherals. So firs thing is driver IC on board and then software driver.

It's quite interesting. When someone brings me Z5/Z5c for repair I'll try to check it.

Do it!
Tell us if it works.

any good news？

Still no damaged Z5

@up
I'm for your service! Give me Z5C and I will damage it as much as you want! But is it even driver possible?

Any news?
Thanks!

Xperia Led music

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.
