[Q] Similarities between D5503 and SO-02F - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have the possibility to by the Japanese version of Z1 Compact. I am wondering would it be possible to cross flash it with the D5503 ROMs, root hacks, etc? Will the mods work.
According to this page the only differences are:
- the LTE frequency bands
- no FM radio
- digital TV receiver
Considering that I don't care for any of the features above I am ready to loose them.
So has anybody played with this phone? What are differences on SW level, etc.
I know the most likely answer is "NO", but somebody might have tried it seen some other modifications, etc.
Thanks.

I can't help with your questions but dam, I'd swap out my fm radio for digital TV receiver

I will not get the Digital TV reception anyway as it is not available around the world as it was mentioned above.
One thing I will gain though is - glass back panel.
Can I live with Sony firmware, and reading Japanese sites for rooting, ROMs, etc, or can I wait and loose the glass back - this is the question

I'm not sure what I'd choose given glass or plastic. Before receiving the phone I would have chosen glass but after using the plastic it doesn't bother me in any way.

Not so fast myfriend. It has now come to light that the Z1f has plastic panel as well & had a white sheet change to clarify.
Per Xperia Blog:
Both the D5503 and M51w variants of the Xperia Z1 Compact were changed on the 6 February 2014, with the same amended wording. So, this doesn’t look like an accident to us. Sony has purposely changed the wording and therefore our conclusion is that it is pretty likely that the back is indeed made from plastic and not glass, as initially suggested.
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/02/0...compact-have-a-plastic-back-instead-of-glass/
The M51w is the Japanese version. I think that all the reviewers got it wrong & were just regurgitating what was purported on the Sony site. It sucks as I sent my Z1c back & had planned on getting the Z1f. I'll have to wait & see if any solid evidence comes to light.

The M51w is "Z1 colourful" for China without LTE. Check the link I included in the first post. According to the SO-02F white paper the material of the back is a bit unclear.

Yeah. This is strange indeed. I had never even heard of the Z1 "colorful edition". I wonder if the Z1f weighs 3 grams more because of a glass back, or most likely because of the tv tuner.

Personally, I detest the DOCOMOX1 branding smack right up on the front of the thing, so I waited for the international version to be released.

We need a forum for Xperia Ray(ST18i)

I will get my lovely Ray on Monday, so, is there a forum for Xperia Ray?
If not, could we have one?
sorry for my english
I didnt think the st18i was out yet. Are you getting the japanese model so-03c? I know there are some band differences between the st18i and the st18a and so-03c but I dont know if this will impact the ability to switch roms

Is already out in HongKong, Taiwan, China, Japan
I can only find the ray on one asian reseller, 1shopmobile, and I have heard people had problems with them. Are there any legit dealers selling it yet, or should I just wait until the UK gets it in stock?
Ray is also out in Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia and others exUSSR.

you should be able to get them from expansys.
Well, got the ray and its nice and small. Perfect fit for one hand, and its not annoyingly big in the pocket.
Just have to wait for some root and roms to make it even better
quality is a let down, out of 4 units, all have dead/bright pixels problem.
I wonder if the ray development works that come out will be compatible with the arc/neo/pro/play and vise versa. I think I will be satisfied with my ray, but the 2011 mini also looks like it would be good as well.
RAY is not bad,even perfect
palm-sized , 3.3' very nice clear TFT ...............
we all need a brand new forum for ray , st18i
Out here in Sweden too. So a forum would be a nice gift from xda.
i'm sure the mods will start a section on the st18i, with all the new phones coming out, i think we'll just have to give more time.

Just bought an XPERIA ray in Hongkong. Looking forward to the new forum being set up
xperia ray, one of the best selling phones in hong kong.
after a few exchange, finally got a good decent one.
Nice!
Well got mine yesterday and sofar I'm really impressed, although the x10 mini pro maybe not the best comparison but still. Only thing sofar is the camera that cannot take pics in 8mp, only in 4:3
Is there sub-forum for now?
Hi would also like a forum for Xperia Ray.
Can anyone who got the phone from China/Hong Kong confirm google accounts and google market works? Mine is coming tomorrow I am based in the UK I really hope everything works on the device!

Sony Ericsson MBW-150/200. If you can find one and you're looking for something more upscale, try the MBW-150 Executive Edition. The LiveView is trash, don't bother with it.

After three failed displays on three MBW-150s (two Executives and one Classic), I may try the MW-200. Someone on another thread said that the display on his MBW-200 hasn't faded (yet), while his MBW-150 did. Since the MBW-200 uses a different display, I wonder if Sony knew this all along, and that's why they came out with it?
FYI, when I called the local Fossil shop to see about the possibility of getting replacement displays for my MBW-150s, the tech said they DID NOT make the MBW series for Sony-Ericsson, another vendor did. He said they did make the MetaWatch, but as stated elsewhere, it doesn't work very well with OpenWatch.

After some searches, it seems that the MBW-200 is designed to be a woman's watch. Can someone compare the size of it to the MBW-150? I'm a big guy with large wrists, so I don't want a little sissy watch on my wrist.

In your opinion, is the WIMM worth $300?
I've been considering it, and am on the fence...
The "I'm Watch" is looking to be coming together beautifully, and if I were to buy a SmartWatch, that's what I would go with...

@IP IHI II IL that link you posted is fairly recent (nov 1st) and it mentions the watch having wifi when i have read on their site and other sites that it does not, is this true? and i believe only the WIMM watch has wifi. i'm watch has not started shipping so they do still have time to make some changes i believe.

Every review I have read says it will have wifi capabilities when it ships. I believe Android Central and Android Police both have pretty recent stories/reviews as well.

I think what he meant is that they're all the same. I'm almost certain of this, but not entirely sure. So you'll just find different colors, for instance I got my phone through AT&T (r800at), so it's blue!
EDIT: For reference, I believe the r800i is the International version, r800a is the north American version, r800at is the AT&T version, and r800x is the Verizon version. Maybe some of these might be used by other carriers as well, but I think that mostly sums it up. And as far as I know, they all have the same housing. I'm actually not sure what the Z1i is though... just be sure you're not getting a bigger cover for the extended batteries (which make your Play bigger), unless you are getting an extended battery! (for example, extended battery: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-Extended-Capacity-Replacement/dp/B005OPHNBA = not unless you want your Play bigger)

Getting it in the UK

Hi all,
From all that I have seen it doesn't look like the ZL will be officially available in the UK. As such the options for buying a C6503 model are:
Import from Europe
It's quite expensive at the moment, and the retailer which should have no problems shipping abroad (Amazon) had the highest price of them all last time I checked. I can definitely see this working fine, with the German version having en_GB locale support and playing nicely with the operators.
Import from Asia (ie HK)
From Expansys (http://www.expansys.com.hk/sony-xperia-zl-lte-c6503-unlocked-16gb-black-247249) the total works out cheaper by about £60, with the shipping not being much slower. The other positives are that in HK they use the same power plugs as in the UK (no need to mess with power adaptors), and en_GB would definitely come preloaded as a locale. The only worry is that the manufacturer model quoted is 'AP_C6503_BLK', where the 'AP' stands for the Asia-Pacific version. I'm wondering whether this could have any implications on the hardware and software. I suppose as software goes it should always be possible to reflash it to a German firmware, but I can't help but think that something could be different.
Also found this: http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=21943
Despite coming up on Google Shopping with good reviews, I found other review websites which seemed to suggest the opposite. They also claimed to have had it in stock two or three weeks ago (I've been following this page for a while), when it wasn't even released in Europe. Both of these make me think that this website is a bit dodgy, and make me wonder where the device originally comes from (HK, Germany, Russia?).
I'm seriously inclining towards the second option, but I'm wondering whether anyone around here has previous experience or some information that might be able to help make the best choice.
Thanks.
Amazon Germany and Amazon Italy now have it for circa €560.
Nooo!! do not buy from simply electronics! I had an awful experience and a quick Google will give you the same feedback.
I am in the UK. Love the phone.
I bought mine from eBay from a seller in HK. Took 2 days to arrive via FedEx $599
Seller: jetcodigital
Expect to pay import tax although they did send as a gift with value of $100 so you might be lucky.

Yeah, that's kind of what I figured about Simply Electronics.
So presumably the device you have is an Asia-Pacific version. Did you notice any differences or oddities when it came to the software/hardware?
Thanks for the feedback, I haven't actually checked eBay yet but will give it a quick look.
Hi I haven't noticed anything strange yet. Seems like the right version for me. No odd software or anything. I'm using it on three UK. Everything has worked great right out of the box. Very pleased.
Now I can sell my htc ONE. ( ZL camera is better )

Another 3 uk user here, got my 6503 for ~£500 after shipping and tax from the states seller: never-msrp.
Even works on 3's secret LTE
Only issue is the US AC adapter.
I am gonna buy a white 6503 version from the German site; Cyberport.de
They can send it to several countries and the prices for that aren't that high.
The phone itself will cost you €550,00 and the shipping to the Netherlands (where I live) are only €13,00.
They've got the black version in stock, and the white version (that I want) is gonna be there in several days.
If you want to check out other stores in Germany:
Geizhals.de: black Sony Xperia ZL
Geizhals.de: white Sony Xperia ZL
Geizhals.de: red Sony Xperia ZL
Well, I ended up buying it from Amazon.de, which worked out to pretty much £500 after shipping and currency conversion. While Expansys.com.hk would have been cheaper, I felt that the European warranty was worth the additional price.
The funny thing is that I ordered yesterday and I should get it tomorrow. Ordering a device which isn't available in the UK, from Amazon.de, and guess what? The device was in the Milton Keynes distribution centre! Seems almost ridiculous, really.
Let us know how you get on.

Yeah it will be white for me, only little thing is that the notification led is better to see on the black one I think...
But I don't like the shiny sides of the black one, and when I first saw the white version I fell in love, so that's why.
And I think the notificationbar and bar with the buttons will look better on the white, on the black ZL it looks so greyish.
I got mine today, and man... it sure looks good and feels nice. It feels a bit heavy, compared to my S3, but I'll get used to that. The screen also looks good when looking at it directly, but gets worse as soon as the viewing angle increases. Although I suppose this is a good thing, as other people trying to look at my device shouldn't see as much as on my S3! The bezel on the side looks a bit bigger than on the pictures, but it's not a big deal. Overall when looking at video or pictures fullscreen it looks stunning, since there is so little bezel.
Now, since I'm a power user, I'm wondering whether I want to unlock the bootloader or just root. I actually don't mind Sony's customisations that much (barring Chrome instead of the stock browser, and the standard Gallery app), however if CM becomes stable enough I might put it on. Perhaps just the root for locked bootloaders will be good enough for now.
Nice to know some others in the uk have one. It's an exclusive club!)
Great phone so far for me. No regrets and no disappointment. I feel the same about the viewing angles. I'm stock all the way for once so will enjoy the factory experience.
I'm trialing the battery saving features at the moment. So far today I have had some good results. I'm not one for these features normally but I thought a the phone has had them I would give it a go.

Is there nobody with a huwei g8 (gx8) or g7 plus?

Hi, Huawei G8 is sold since 2nd half of 2015, but still no comments her on xda? Is there nobody who owns this smartphone?
I think that now that the GX8 is officially out in the US, it'll be more popular around here.
I have a test unit I received from Huawei a few months ago and now that they're allowing us to keep these units I was wondering if I could get rid of all the extra software they added to it (log collector, surveys, etc) and gift it to someone.
But g8 and gx8 are the same device. Huawei only changed the name. In germany it is the same, don't know if this is like this everywhere in the world.
But there is no extra forum for gx8?
Only one difference exist. Rio-L01 is dual-sim and Rio-L11 is only one simcard. But i don't know where to buy the L11 Version... Germany is called G8 (Rio-L01)
Hopefuly this device gets more love from devs ... My last LG g flex gets nothing. only root and twrp... ... finger crossed
I've already found root for g8 in a German forum, but i would like to see cm or another custom Rom too.
I want to buy a g8, but i think, i will wait some time and watch the forum it there is any development. Smartphone without it is not what i want to have. If Samsung wouldn't habe all this SH*T with Knox and so on i would buy it, there is much more development.

Hi! Can you please link me the website for root? I've been trying to find one but couldn't. This would help me a lot. Thank you!
Here it is: http://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/huawei-gx8-g8-forum.2425/
I have also a huawei g8 (german Version) with dual sim
Mine model written on the box says it's a Huawei G7 Plus. RIO-L01 in the "about phone". I live in Cambodia.
Hi, I have a G8 too, the dual Sim version.
G8, Gx8,G7plus....they are all the same I think. Can´t find no changes in the tech.specs
I have a G8 single SIM too, and I am found some official firmware, I think I'm going to open a thread for it
I have to decide if i will buy a 5,5 model like g8 or a 5,2 model like honor 7 or p8. Is there much difference if you put it in your bag of the trousers?

Hi,
I have the G8 since November, but actually I left XDA some time because there wasn't a forum for the device, but I will be more active here since we have the proper forum right now.

Yes, they are exactly the same phone, but different name according to the region: G8 for Europe, GX8 for America and G7 Plus for Asia.

I can tell you that the 5.5" screen on this device feels really nice, actually it has a nice ratio and it perfectly fix on the pockets of any pants I use.
:fingers-crossed:
And there is no need for another smartphone with faster CPU? Built in CPU is fast enough?
Can you tell me, which colour is called "mystic chamapgne"? Is this the gold or the silver one?
I want to have the gold version with both sides gold. The silver version is only silver on the backside? Frontside is white? On some internetshops there are picture of golden smartphone and in the description you can read mystic champagne?

For me and the tasks I make, CPU is perfect, I'm a normal user and I tend not to perform tasks that stress the phone, even when I'm a software developer and all my life I have bought Nexus line.
Mystic Champagne is actually the colour I have, it is white on the front and silver in the black, is really nice colour, I liked it a lot. I don't know why is called like this, but this is the colour that comes in the box, which I got kind of scared when I saw it because I didn't want the gold one, so be careful with this.
:fingers-crossed:
Did you see this guys? Is this true or fake? and if it is true, what's that Aosp or cm13?
http://android-xda.net/tutorial/upgrade-update-huawei-g8/
I wish it to be true. The download links are survey-locked and look really fishy. Most likely fake
Haven't tried but would love a marshmallow rom and if its aosp, the better. I hate this emui rom ><
Can someone tell me how to root our phone. I looked at german forum but i dont understand anything
