The screen is 1080 and looks lovely with full HD material :) Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app

I routinely use my Nook HD + for watching movies on the train. I do a five hour trip and often have 50% leftover watching stereo 720p. 1080p with DTS eats more battery but still over 5 hours. I use a cyanogen mod 12 rom. I highly advise getting rid of stock rom. Volume is acceptable but I'd...

I found that after applying the new back, I left it under a pile of books. Only residual heat from removing the plastic back. The soft paper of the book made I nice smooth even compression. Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app

http://www.witrigs.com/oem-anti-shatter-film-for-sony-xperia-z1-compact Says it's OEM, despite there's no Sony logo. If it was me I'd ask.

Excellent, I'm glad I'm not the first person to try this!! I'm thinking of a new DAP, and looking at the iBaso DX50 or Fiio X3, I see both of these can act as USB-DACs. I use my Nook HD+ as semi-portable movie screen and think the sound could do with a bump in quality to match the visuals. Any...

Thanks. It's pretty expensive but if it does the job then that's great. I have to say though the ASF has caused me far more grief than I would ever have expected. I've never had a scratch on any other phone (Desire, One X) yet the ASF is soft and can scratch, and thus needs a protector. If I...

My plastic back also creaked loads with any amount of flexing. I've changed to the glass back and there is no creaking now :good:

I'm another with a scratched Nilikin. I'm going to replace with another brand. Any stand out favourites? Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

I use the Nilikin kit. The front is good, doesn't overlap the edges and is bevelled. The film for the rear was a different matter, I was forever catching the edge with my finger, and over time it started getting caught on my pockets etc. I put up with it until I swapped the back out for a glass...

I'd imagine it voids the warranty! I guess you could put a plastic back back on before sending to repair? Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

Bit expensive compared to Witrigs, no? Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

When sticking down my glass back, I super smoothed all around the edges, then left the phone under a pile of books for twenty minutes! I haven't tested the waterproofing , but then I didn't fancy doing it before I modded either. On a related note the glass back does get scratched, I reckon t...

An update on my Nillikin protector. I'm not happy with it. It achieved 3 fine hair scratches in a day despite being in a soft velvet (don't ask!) phone cover. Not deep at all but visible and tactile. And this morning after removing the phone from my pocket the edge of the protector has some...

I'd say no: it is sticky but it's no longer smooth and even. I wouldn't trust it. Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

Steady Eddie, just making a comment. If this isn't your first rodeo then you'll know from experience my comment was correct. It sounds like you probably will be able to solve a lot potential issues yourself, especially if this in't your first rodeo, and therefore it's not an issue. I see a...

Another new convert here, I replaced my back panel last night so far no problems. I also don't give two figs about flash bleed, I didn't notice it in the first place. I use a camera to take pics. I replaced mine to get a scratch resistant back panel. Sent from my D5503 using xda...

It's your choice, but that means any free support from this forum will be difficult as there will be lots of reasons it might fail. So many support replies seem to start with 'Do a clean install'. Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

You might be better with an oem glass back like Sony originally had in the white paper. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710603 Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

My glass back has arrived but I haven't yet got the courage to do it. It'll knacker my warranty! Question though: when applying the new back cover, are there any plastic/metal guides ensuring you get a square fit? I've seen no horror stories of people putting theirs on squint, which means there...

There is an awful lot of instability going on here! I'm using CM11 20140226 with pretty much zero problems. I do use ART and found performance and battery life both improve. Bugs I do have: Spontaneous reboot twice in one evening happened once only Regularly get the toaster notification that...

Excellent post, thanks for sharing. For the sake of 3 quid I've no idea why Sony didn't do this out the box. How easy is it to get a perfect fit? Do you have to do anything to the sticky tape on application of the new back, e.g heat to stick? I take it the Z1F is also waterproof, like the Z1c is?

I've got a Nillikin protector on mine, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I applied directly on top of my scratch free ASF. It feels good, is oleophobic, not nearly as static, and obviously is robust. It's a good fit, for me I wish it was a bit thinner but this is my first screen protector ever so...

I've recieved my Nillikin protector and plan to put it on tonight. Although typically I'm too lat with a tiny light scratch on the plastic back of my Xperia between the flash and the lens. Anybody know of a way I can rub this out before applying my protector over the top? Any fillers/waxes I can...

OK successfully flashed the central European fw and now have the option for LTE, great! However I've also got the update for kk in this fw. If I update to kit kat does that stop me from reloading my backup fw? I know on my hox when bootloaders etc were updated old backups were hard to apply...

I found if I power up with no sim in, the option for LTE exists. Phoning 3 customer services, I was told I'll receive a text with update details to allow 4g. I smell shi*e! If I get the guts I'll flash on Thursday night! Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

Sorry, bit lazy but this is for my own reference really. OT: but it might be useful to others too! http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Compact/Z1-Compact-No-LTE-option-in-Network-Mode-Option-Screen/td-p/599247 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633924...

Ah great, someone to corroborate! Do you know if three can update the sim, either in store or ota? Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

See? No LTE. Can anybody else on 3 UK confirm please? Cheers! Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

I don't even have that option, there is no mention of LTE in my preferred network options. Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

My Z1C doesn't even have the option for LTE. My carrier and sim should be LTE capable, but I got the sim a couple of months ago. Like I said, I'm not sure it's my phone or the network yet. Oily going by a thread I read on here. Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

Yes, my mistake: JB. My previous phone did not have LTE.

On the whole I really like my Z1 Compact, but there are a few niggles which I hope will be fixed soon: 1: Apparent battery drain/10k per day wakelocks from com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup, Uses more battery than my screen. 2: ICS on this phone doesn't seem quite as smooth (homescreens, app...

Have you tried it in a steamy bathroom or kitchen? Sent from my D5503 using xda app-developers app

And so I have ordered, delivery tomorrow! http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/19/sony-xperia-z-devices-kitkat/ Oh, and for those interested: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/03/17/cyanogenmod-adds-official-support-for-sony-xperia-z1-compact-nightlies-available-now/

Because I think it will be even better with KK for the same money. My One X was transformed by KK vs ICS. Gives me a couple more months to put savings from a sim only contract towards the handset.

I'm waiting for KK before I buy! Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I have now, and it appears to work. I did have to install the 1mobile market app first, but I've since removed it. Cheers leapinlar, appreciated. Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Useful thread. Can anybody link me a Nook reader apk that runs on CM11 please? Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I was also told by Sony support removing the ASF doesn't affect the warranty. Go wild! Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Z2 is too big :) Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Well, I think I'll remove it, I'll have to wait and see what it feels like. I like the feel of the naked glass under my finger, it needs to slide and be proper responsive. Maybe the ASF will be fine..... As far as the logo goes, I'm not buying it because it looks good and I don't care that...

After all my chat in this thread about the ASF I directly asked Sony Support. I was told that removing the ASF would not affect the manufacturing warranty, but that if the glass was shattered and the ASF was not fitted this would impact whether they would repair the screen under warranty. I...

Ah, same: all good flagship phones but none in the same size bracket as the XZ1C. I just wondered as I haven't bought one yet and wondered if there were any similar size/spec as competitior. I guess the iPhone is the only thing similar.

Out of interest, what other handsets did you consider other than the Xperia Z1 Compact?

I'll give it a shot. I already have the pro version for my phone. I just couldn't be bothered testing, lazy git :p Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Is Nova higher performance than default CM11 launcher? Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

True, there are lots of reports of problems with CM11. I had screen flicker (only after sleeping overnight) until I switched off 16 bit transparency. I spontaneously get told Google sound has stopped working. I see no other bugs or even symptoms of the bugs I have. Perhaps there was a problem...

In my experience 10.1 and 10.2 were both slow as treacle before I installed 11. I'm really happy now with my Nook. I use it as a tablet as well as a video player. Amazing ROM. Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Brilliant, thanks for that. Got to say I'm not best pleased with their answer: they don't state what is and what isn't covered by warranty?? Weird!! What a waste of time if I send something back expecting it to be repaired, and in examination Sony say no: I've been without my handset for...

I've found a copy of the Z1 Compact manual (I think for the UK), but there is no mention really of warranty in there. Does anybody have copies of the warranty info that comes with the phone please?
