I love the new S-View cover for the Galaxy S4, a phone I don't have. Obviously, Sony's not going to release such a cover for the Xperia Z, but is there any chance of a third party app/cover combo with this featureset?

you wont be able to get the screen awake feature unless you use the proximity sensor or camera which will kill your battery
such useless case
really
you want to see anything, just open case and phone, i m impressed how high tech is going to develop, they bring new creations for lazy people who want to do everything without lifting one's little finger
next step, sending messages without typing manually or your phone is wiling to prepare a coffee in the morning instead of only set as clock alarm
(just kidding but i heard they made a cofee machine that can be used through your smartphone, it has a tactile buttons aswell)

I guess phones are demo phones for retailers that can't be used for anything else anyway
More importantly, I'd like to know the post-testing results. Able to dry out and work like new? Any screwy controls/gross display issues? Would be cool knowing that if my phone did happen to take a dip it wouldn't mean an automatic send-off to the manufacturer.

Funny you should say that, I had a similar problem with my S2, some sort of debris got into the port, and it blew the whole charging PCB ! Found one instantly on ebay tho so it was clearly a known issue.

What real life scenario do these "hammer tests" replicate? Of course it will smash your phone if you use a bloody hammer! As for water/beer test, not as worse, but still silly. And doesn't prove a thing either, mind.

So, I bought one of those windowed flip covers, the OnePlus One definitely has the "lock-unlock" functionality when you use a flip cover with a magnet, but I noticed there is no "window view" functionality in CM11 (I am currently running CM11 nightlies).
Is there a way or some kind of mod I can use to enable or mimic the window view thing, something were after pressing the lock button it will display the time and/or notifications?
Thanks.
Haven't seen anything like that for this device, and it might not be likely due to the irregular availability of OnePlus accessories.

Where can we propose for development? This is something that I had with my LG G2 and now that my son has it, I am jealous. HELP!!! If anyone out there has had the chance to play around with it, I am sure that they will attest to it.
I am sure that there are enough people out there with the dimensions of the windows in these cases, so that they can be coded properly.

No one really proposes development. They don't take kindly to requests from the users. If you add a bounty and have other people propose the same then someone may will be willing to tackle to it but it'd be limited to that particular ROM.

The one+ does not have an amoled screen and cannot power on just a portion of the screen. That is why we probably won't see s-view anytime soon.

I have to heard this before, however the LG G2 as far as I know, does not have an AMOLED screen, however they still seem to have a way to pull it off. I'm not well versed enough to understand the "why" of it however there must be more there must be another solution, unless LG is using a similar panel as to that of Samsung's AMOLED panel.
Unless you can convince Spigen to make a Slim Armor case for the OnePlus One.

I have no idea what the Spigen case has to do with this. There are many other cases out there with a window or windows integrated. Nillkin is a respected case maker with a windowed case available, even though,from what I heard, it has not been up to par. I purchased a dual window that case that is of very nice quality and I am pretty certain that once the word gets out that there are Roms out there with this integrated functionality there will be many more case makers interested.
Cheers.

Wow!!! I had not seen that case. It seems very nicely built, is definitely something that would be of a great addition to the opo's case lineup. I'm not sure however if we need a third party such as a case builder to design the application. I think we would be better served and would get a greater result, if it were one of our recognized developers who were to take on the task, seeing as our developers have an advanced knowledgeof Android and clockworkmod.

Hi Community,
sorry if this exists anywhere, but I didnt found something in the forum so I'll just ask for it
I heard that the Z3 is able to be used with a pencil.
I just tried this out with the standart draw app from the Xperia Z3 and it didnt worked.
Did I missed an option or something ?
Google don't found something or maybe I'm just too stupid
Thanks for your answers
( Sorry for my bad english )
this works with previous Zs, but not the Z3. I think it has something to do with the new panel supporting glove mode but not pencil operation
I've never heard of that! How did it work on previous models?

You want to draw on your screen using a pencil? Is this serious? Or do you mean like a tablet pen ?

Yeah wow, looks pretty shoddy, but considering I don't see repair parts for the special edition anywhere, I don't think we'd have a choice. I guess with a case on it afterwards you probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Quick question - have you compared the connectors of the backlight for the Kenzo and Kate? Is there any difference? Wonder if it might be software related?

Has anybody tried replacing both the screen and the backplate? If we're lucky we only have to change both and then have no 2mm gap between display and housing.

I have just ordered it, it was available for the gold one at least. Previous to the payment I calculated shipping cost to Finland with my address and it was 0€, it said also the delivery time was 7-10 days. After they´ve received the payment (39,42€), they sent an e-mail with the real delivery time: 11/05. So from 7-10 days to 23 days...
I will have time to check some youtube videos about LCD replacement and decide if I will do it by myself, meanwhile I´m already asking for budget is some shops... I´m not quite slick about assemblings/ replacements.

I have seen many videos, and for me the best one is one from Hon..buy mobile shop (hope you know the youtube channel I mean as I can´t post links yet!)
It´s quite clear and you can perfectly see every single action.
I'll start I guess.
Lockscreen. Home, left and right.
Redid my home and lock. Same ****.
Just new icons, and background mountain, lock wall is still likewise above, just with a background mountain so still fits.
I'll later today, remove the navigation bar all together. And going all gestures. For more seamless setup and controll. Just don't have any adb on my Macs and don't get it, as on Windows. Lol.
Edit** Added lockscreen and homewall.
It's no right, none did a setup yet, phone is on Monday a month old. ?? Come on all ?
I redo mine like at least ones a day ? can't show em all, just what I fall back to. Otherwise I'll be spamming ???
Wauuu really? Is this the community of Sony, 76 ppl locking, not one says, u suck, God knows what. I did not make a mistake, buying this, but the community is like non-existent

I thought that Sony's gesture actually works. But wasn't quite enough for me. And way of topic
And how better? My only real complaint was FP. And had 3 updates in 3 weaks, didn't fix, so I sold. The phone it self. Had no issue with. Besides. My year elder op6 preform better besides 21:9 :good:
Oh. Yeah. Sold to a company. For more than I gave. So no loss. I tried.
But let's hope. They'll fix stuff in @10, like systemwide dark mode :fingers-crossed:

What is that clock/weather widget, that's sharp
A new cell phone is just a bunch of radiation.
the Xperia 5 has an advantage over wider phones, but the top of the phone is too heavy and will tip over. Also, the bezel material is unlike the Xperia Z3, which was metallic and unique among Xperia flagships.
