    Does the S8/S8+ Use Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 or 4.0

    With the 835, is it likely that a phone firmware upgrade can take it to QC4?

    Does the S8/S8+ Use Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 or 4.0

    Any ideas - known or speculative - about QC (any version) on the Exynos S8?

    Xperia Z1 Compact: Arrived today! Ask me anything

    I used several threads on XDA, which simplify some of the work done by NUT, DoomLord and others. I'm sure I'm missing important contributors, but this is from memory. The resist for me to follow was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081 I didn't unlock the bootloader...

    Full duplex calls?

    I've upgraded from two N1's (for historical reference to the youngsters, that's a 2010 phone) to a N5 and Sony Z1 Compact. Between these two phones on T-Mobile I new get HD and, for the first time EVER, full duplex. I can actually talk and listen at the same time! It's wonderful! I feel like...

    Sony Z1 Compact using with AT&T

    Terminology is s little confusing. My wife's Nexus 5 indicates "LTE", but my Z1C shows 4G. The Z1C is getting download speeds less than half the N5. I can't tell if that's because I am not getting real LTE or if I'm just slower for another reason.

    Xperia Z1 Compact: Arrived today! Ask me anything

    I had a pretty good experience with Clove: ordered late Monday night and phone was in my hands Friday evening. Their credit card security measures were over the top and contributed to a day's delay. I had to call them to convince them I was legit. My advice to anyone who orders from them is...

    Xperia Z1 Compact: Arrived today! Ask me anything

    I'm in the States and my Z1C arrived yesterday. I'll give a full report when I get it going. For now, I am stymied by the stupidest problem imaginable. I've searched for tutorials or videos, but nothing. So, here goes: I cannot figure out how to put the micro-SIM into the slot...

    Xperia Z1 Compact: Arrived today! Ask me anything

    Again, same boat. Because of problems with BoA, it took me three tries to get the initial credit card approval (not even counting the issues with my DL and the "authorisation code"); so on my first and second orders, I included the dock freebie. But I forgot it the third time, so I emailed...

    Xperia Z1 Compact: Arrived today! Ask me anything

    My order, and the subsequent DL copy, went in Monday night. But then, this morning, Clove asked for my credit card authorization to further prove I am the legitimate card holder. Bank of America refused to give me the authorization, so I had to go through a fire drill to resolve the problem...

    Xperia Z1 Compact: Arrived today! Ask me anything

    Amazing similarity! I also waited to see what was announced at MWC and decided last night to order the Z1C from Clove, with free DK32 Charger. Hoping for arrival Thursday. (And I got a Play Store red 32GB N5 for my wife.)

    With HSPA+, what kind of speeds are you seeing?

    Full duplex calls?

    Thank you. Do you find that using or not using a Bluetooth headset affects the quality of full-duplex? Sent from my Kindle Fire HD using Tapatalk

    Full duplex calls?

    I realize I'm resurrecting an old thread, but searching around, this is the only intelligent conversation about sidetone and full-duplex I could find. Hope someone's still listening. I'm still confused. Most reports say cell phones are full-duplex, but the bane of my existence is the ?Roger...
