Sony STM10 and Xperia Z3 Compact

Are Sony STM10 microphone compatible with Xperia Z3 Compact? BRMichael

Even though Sony has been extremely vague and uninformative regarding product conformity and publishing (ANY) information regarding this product, I can assert that the STM10 does in fact work with my Xperia z3 Compact.  I am still reviewing this microphone and will continue to post into this relevant thread so that other customers do not experience a profound lack of consumer information as I did. Pros1. 5pin provides advanced functionality, which appears to facilitate native interaction with the Z3C phone2. Very nice performing microphone for the price, no really....  verified with low volume operation, very high quality recordings.  Note *at this point, Hight SPL operation (IE: Loud Concert Situations) remain untested.3. its possible to point the microphone in the direction of the 2megapixel camera but some angles may enter the frame (this is an acceptable and unavoidable compromise in my view) Cons*Stay Tuned... So far so good.

  • How lobg till screens start self cracking and Sony ignores and screws Z1 compact customers also?

    Like with Z and Z1?
    Will it be before or from spring some time?
    Any guesses?

    I had mine for 5 days and had no drops or bumps and it now has a crack running across the front of the screen and the top half doesn't work any more...

  • Worth buying the Xperia Z3 Compact ? And a question about headphones.

    Worth buying the Xperia Z3 Compact, compared to Xperia Z3?
    And a doubt. I have had other Xperias, and headphones from other brands did not work well with him, this ''Z3 line'' is yet? It only works with Sony headphones?
    Thank You!

    Well, the headphone jack is designed to be compatible with Noise Cancelling headphones from Sony, that uses 5 pins in the pole, however, a regular 3 segments headphones should work without issues... the problem is if you try to use incompatible Headsets (the ones with microphones) since the use an additional segment and it my be located in a different way than what Sony uses.
    My advice is, if you are not the most hardcore audiophile, that you get a medium range Bluetooth Headphones. Those will be compatible with your phone...
    I have had Altec Lansing BackBeat 906, 903... Plantronics BackBeat 903+, and currently use the BackBeat Go2.
    Out of those the Go2 are the best sounding headphones for me (I do not care for tons of bass, so the amount of bass with those is very good)... but the battery is bad, around 3.5 hours. The fit is good, people complain when trying to use as advertised, but I actually found a better way to place them, making a loop around and front of my ears......  Price ~70$
    All previous ones had a battery of 7 hours, but the rubber material of the piece around your ear hardens with time and breaks (after a couple of years of use)... the Go2 seems to be better built.
    Finally I would recommend to you the Jaybirds Bluebuds X if you are willing to pay 140~160 $.... with excellent battery life, and sound quality.
    If you want to go cheaper... Sony's SBH line has plenty of option with good reviews... SBH20 being the cheapest
    And if you want to go crazy expensive, Parrot Zik are over 400$ but apparently they are the best all around. I tried them once.

  • Xperia Z1 Compact - JDI and AUO Display Panels used

    Xperia Z1 Compact using JDI and AUO display Panels differently confirmed - Display Lottery is spotted again :/
    Let’s have a look at Xperia Z1 Compact display panels.

    How to Identify which panel your Xperia Z1 Compact using ?
    You may need root to find that out but if your Xperia Z1 Compact is not rooted then use a file manager like “Solid Explorer”. Open it and then navigate to #_ System Root > sys > devices > mdss_dsi_panel > panel_id and Check what is mentioned there.
    Sony has used different panels for Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 F and now for Xperia Z1 Compact, well it seems display lottery will affect future flagship devices also.

    What laws exactly do you think are being broken?
    Every phone manufacturer does this, even Apple. They use different factories and companies across a production run (e.g. JDI, Sharp and LG for iPhone 5) and the panels will have slightly different characteristics despite being of the same type. Apple chooses to callibrate each panel in the factory, however, which not many others do. Customers should demand this, though, and just return their phones if they're not happy with their panels.

  • My sony xperia z1 compact won't turn on.

    My sony xperia z1 compact won't turn on. If i plug it for charging the phone would light red and will vibrate and continuetp be like that. What will i do?

    Guys, I am soon going to try this, and many said this worked.
    Equipment required:- 
    - Sony Xperia Z/ZL/ZR/Z Ultra/Z1/Z1S/Z1f/Z1 Compact (Sorry, I am too detailed)
    - Magnetic Charger
    - Micro USB Charger (in basic terms, your normal charger)
    Reason:- 
    Sometimes, the device seems to 'forget' how to charge, thus this method shall work
    Instructions:-
    1. Leave your device to charge with the normal Micro USB charger for 2 hours, and try to do volume up + power on method
    2. If Step 1 doesn't work, connect the magnetic charger to the device and leave it to charge for about 30 - 45 minutes
    3. If your device seems to react by turning on, then leave it to charge for a bit longer
    4. If it seems to be working completely normally, then you can go back to using the Micro USB cable
    If:-
    The device doesn't do anything differently after leaving it to charge on the magnetic charger, leave it for longer than what I stated previously (maybe 1 - 2 hours) and if nothing happens, then try and contact Sony, or take it to a local shop.
    So guys...
    So guys, I hope this works for you guys, as this may/may not work for me. Alternatively, you can try and get a test or something done, so you can ensure it isn't a hardware problem (water damage, dislodged battery etc...)
    Kind Regards,
    Sibtain

  • Facebook with Albums and Xperia

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me. I bought a Xperia Z1 Compact yesterday so today in the progress of setting it all up. I have been an iPhone user for 4 years so many of the features are new to me! 
    1) I notice in the Albums App from Sony you can connect via facebook and get photos from there? When I click this function a box appears saying connect. I click connect. Then a box appears for permission for Xperia to access my facebook contacts, photos etc etc and I click ok. This box disappears and nothing happens! It goes back to the original connect screen. And I go in circles when I keep clicking connect. 
    2) In my settings in my accounts, I have facebook. I notice there is also an option for Xperia with facebook. I have removed my facebook from the accounts and added Xperia with Facebook. When I do this the account asks me to sign in etc and when I do the icon that appears is a regular facebook icon and not the Xperia with Facebook icon. (I actually tried this to fix problem 1 and then realised it wasn't doing it this way either). My facebook account when it appears in the list will only let me sync my contacts there are no options for photos or calendars or anything else.
    I have tried deleting the accounts turning then phone off and again then re-adding it. I have tried going into my actual facebook account and checking the settings there (as far as I can tell it should all sync up). I only got the phone yesterday so surely it doesn't need re-boot to factory settings or anything?
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks in advance.

    I found the solution here for anyne who has the same problem

    installing facebook messenger, as recommended in the above thread fixes this. 

  • Clearing e-mails - Xperia Z3 compact

    HI All.  Just got a new Sony Xperia Z3 compact and having some frustrations with e-mail!  I have already discovered the limitations of the phone's e-mail app when it comes to deleting e-mails and my problem makes that even more irritating!
    I have a BT Internet e-mail address which I intend to keep using.  Incoming e-mails therefore arrive on the BT / Yahoo server.
    I have a desktop PC at my home office and that is where I hold the "master" copy of my e-mails on that desktop PC, on Outlook, and so things are set up so that when the e-mails clear down from the BT / Yahoo server on to my Outlook,  they automatically clear from the BT / Yahoo server inbox.
    With my previous Smartphone (a Blackberry) there was no problem with setting it up so that it effectively "mirrored" the BT / Yahoo server inbox - when e-mails arrived they appeared on my phone in the In box and they remained there until they cleared down from the BT / Yahoo server on to Outlook on my desktop PC.  At that poiunt, they automatically cleared off my Smartphone.  It was also very simple to set up my Smartphone e-mail handling so that if an e-mail arrived on my Smartphone and I did not wish to keep it, I could delete it from my Smartphone AND the BT / Yahoo server inbox.  This meant that I didn't have to see it ever again when the BT / Yahoo server next cleared down to my desktop PC Outlook.
    I SPECIFICALLY asked the salesman if achieving the same outcome was possible on my new Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.  He assured me that it was and we double checked the information relating to the phone.  It made it clear the e-mail was set up so that it "mirrored" the webmail server and so it seemed that it would do as my Blackberry did and clear e-mails automatically when they cleared down from the BT / Yahoo server.  Except they don't - they stay on the Smartphone and have to be manually deleted (with all the hassle of double deleting, first from Inbox and then from Trash as there is no "Empty Trash" functionality.
    Nevertheless, everything appeared OK with the option for deleting from Smartphone and BT / Yahoo server as I found an option for "Delete e-mail from server" "When I delete from Inbox" which appeared to be exactly what I wanted.  However that doesn't work either - they delete from the Inbox but they DON'T delete from the BT / Yahoo server even when that option is selected.
    I use e-mail a lot and that is why I specifically enquired about the e-mail handling capability.
    Please tell me (in basic English, not complex tech-speak!) that I am wrong and there is a way of getting my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact to handle e-mails in the way that I want!

    Hi, i also use BT Internet for my email accounts....i actually have 3 seperate BT email accounts set up on my Z2, i use the YAHOO MAIL app on my phone & on my computer it is the BT YAHOO MAIL......not sure what the difference between Outlook & Yahoo is......when an email comes to one my addresses, if i look/read it on my phone & delete it ...it does delete also from my computer, actually just double checked this to make sure!!!!!
    Perhaps you could look into the Yhoo Mail App for your phone.....hope this helps 

  • Xperia z1 compact problem restoring

    Hello. I've bought new sony xperia z1 compact but it has a serious problem. Every time I plug it in (to charge) it restores. The promo video keeps playing again and again, my wallpaper disappears and sets default and the worst thing is that all my photos I took before are deleted. (photos from whatsapp and messenger remain, music remains and gmail, whatsapp and viber remain logged in) All this used to happen when I plugged the mobile to charge but the last time it happened itself suddenly.Please, can you tell me what it is caused by and what can I do about it? In this moment I do not reside at the same place I bought the phone at so I am not able to return it. Thank you very much.

    Hi boavista,
    Welcome to the community,
    This sounds like the device is set to Demo mode, you can try removing this by doing the following.
    *#*#73556673#*#*
    This should remove the demo mode, let us know how you get on.

  • Xperia z1 compact won't charge using USB, magnetic dock works fine!

    My Xperia Z1 Compact suddenly stopped charging while using a regular charger connected through USB. But the same charger and cable works fine if connected through the magnetic docking station. Is there any logical explanation to this weird behaviour? Is there any quick fix? Is it possible to repair? Shall I send it in for repair?

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    There might be something faulty with your USB-port. If you have tried several chargers but you experience the same behaviour, I would suggest that you visit nearest service center to have your phone examined by a technician. You can contact your local support team for further information about nearest service center and/or how to proceed with this in the best possible way:

  • Xperia z1 compact camera

    i have heard that the camera on the z1 compact is a bit slow, is this true, and is the phone worth getting if the camera is my main reason for getting the phone. thanks

    I bought the Sony Xperia Z1 compact for the camera as much as the phone and regret it. It could well be down to user error on my part but I can't find many of the options supposedly available in the marketing information. The  instructions in the user guide are incomplete if you are trying to resolve something - the manual mode is supposed to have an autofocus option whereby you touch the screen until the yellow box goes blue but on my phone you touch the screen and absolutely nothing happens whatsoever. Perhaps there are some other settings elsewhere that are required but personally I just don't know. I expected the camera to work like any normal digital SLr or camera phone that I have had in the past but it seems that this is not the case.
    The camera is also locking up after one or two shots. If you contact Sony Support by email you wait two days and then get a reply suggesting you need to reset the phone and repair the software. They say that any user information may be lost and any such data should be backed up but there are no instructions on how to do this and what exectly will be lost is not specified. Again down to lack of understanding on my part but if you are in a similar position, don't bother with the phone. If you are an expert then you may fare better than me but that's for you to decide.
    As part of the repair process, the instructions I received and that you have to perform yourself, add that any apps previously downloaded should not be re-downloaded for 48 hours and only one app should then be re-downloaded in each subsequent 24 hour period and tested against the camera just in case there is a conflict between the app and the camera. Since I have only downloaded 5 or 6 apps since getting the phone a couple of months ago this will not be too much of an issue BUT if you had downloaded 14 apps you would have to wait over two weeks to get the phone back to how it was.
    I expected the phone to be sorted out for me by Sony. When you pay the best part of £400 for a phone with a camera that doesn't appear to work, I didn't expect to have to fix the problems with it out myself. Good luck is deciding what to - it seems to be a complete minefield out there.

  • Xperia Z1 Compact touchscreen completely unresponsive!

    If anyone could assist here,would be really appreciated.  My Xperia Z1 Compact touchscreen has become completely unresponsive for no rhyme or reason!  It had some sound output issues when upgraded to Lollipop which were resolved but today, I noticed that the SIM card slot cover was not closed properly so I opened and closed it.  Next thing I know the screen is totally unresponsive to touch or swipe. Displays fine.  Tried rebooting using power/volume +, removing SIM card, removing memory card, and then updating/repairing via Sony PC Companion (via USB).  Touchscreen is still completely unresponsive on booting up.  Please help if anyone has a potential solution.  I bought the phone just 6 months ago and was working perfect until Lollipop came along!!  Thanks much. 

    Hi Mutt, welcome to the community!
    Rather than taking the phone to a Sony Centre, contact your local Sony Xperia Customer Care team to find out where their authorized repair agents are based and I am sure they will be able to organise for your phone to be sent in to be assessed under the terms of warranty. Am sorry to hear of the long wait you experienced last time.
