It could be that Sony disabled 120Hz for battery life purposes or other reasons. It could also be that it's just trolling. Is anyone familiar with how this actually works and viable ways of testing it?

Hi there:) You caught a simple flu, but u probably need Safe Mode to remove it. Follow instructions here => https://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-tos/630081-guide-malware-adware-popup-removal.html Good luck, and keep us posted, Van

nomailx this has been discussed at lenght in several forums. Partially, you are right. A fix is possible with a software update but life is never black or white, sdadly. The tech that is fixing distortion in Video mode is Sony's magical stabilization algorithm(parts of it anyway). For a huge...

And now it's official :) Let's hope this attracts some decent dev interest to our gorgeous piece of tech. https://developer.sonymobile.com/2017/06/27/xperia-xz-premium-now-part-of-sonys-open-devices-program/

Undepletable My second week on this gorgeous beast and it keeps giving me reasons to make sweet sweet love to it. Charged after lunch, worked a bit on it, browsing, several calls, music, quite a few pics and slow-mo videos, got home about 4am and had a long, drunk session of GoF2 HD. I...

Agh, I try not letting it get to me, but every once in a while I want to punch one of these entitled, lazy bozos, who think the world owes them, just 'couse they managed to google their way into this forum. Anyway, gratitude _LLJY for supporting our obscure device (z5p here) and building a...

You are A1 over here, as well, bud. Happy dayday and never stop the brilliance ;)

Removing Xposed Framework Hey Auras :) , can you (or anyone else) tip me on how to remove the Xposed Framework? Tried the official uninstaller provided (arm64 ver.) but it causes a bootloop until I flash Xposed again. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, Van

Pardon my ignorance, mate, buy don't you need root to backup your DRMs, in the first place?

Junior member does not (always) mean an illiterate blab with no practical knowledge, mate :) Play nice That being said, my Z5P did bend. It's quite usual with large metal phones and enough pressure applied. It was only bent on the Power Button side, so I assume it twisted in my pocket somehow...

From the little info you provided, I can see that your phone barely sleeps. I assume its all the email + other apps constantly syncing in the background and creating wakelocks. charge to full, use as normal and when u provide the screenshots next time, click on the Graph and provide a shot of...

Big words there, chief ;) Aside from benchmarking tools, there is not a single piece of useful software that can make even last year's generation SoCs sweat. Its purely for bragging rights, maybe extracting huge archives (5 sec difference) and the promised power saving due to the smaller...

This rumor has been around for quite some time and its considered pure speculation. It is highly unlikely for Sony to create such fragmentation in their top line. THIS is much more likely and realistic :) To answer your question, Its undeniable that SD 820 will bring a certain amount of...

Could you follow up with some sample pictures if u get a chance? And some comments on the sound quality :)

ZohabK , mate, take a few breaths and calm yourself down. You came here looking for solutions and even before someone can get a word in, you start bashing the phone and recommending against it. Now call off the hormonal tantrum and try a few things for me. First - Find which program/module...

Damn right! I did not get this phone for the 4K screen. It's a worth purchase even without it. But it does look absolutely stunning and is an engineering marvel on it's own. People are spoiled with tech nowadays. I have read so much crap and drama the past few weeks, here and on sony forums...

That would be an interesting thing to figure out. The only objective test I can think of doing on a single device is going into Airplane mode and playing a long(~30min) 4K video on both players with identical brightness settings (H/W and S/W on MX). Afterwards compare battery percentage drop...

The "Google it" comment was regarding the resource monitoring app that can determine to what extent CoC is utilizing the device's SoC.

ahh, I see now playback is only 1440p. Well, it's better than nothing ;) You can still Download in 2160p, tho.

Hopefully that would never happen. Not only it will not add to the user experience, but battery life would be cut by at least half.

I attached the APK. Try installing this one If you run into more troubles check out THIS forum. It's in russian but google translate works :)

I would heavily recommend OGYouTube. It is exactly the same YouTube app you are used to (regularly updated), with added functionality for Download, background play, screen-off play, etc. It can even put your video in a small resizable window and play it on the side while you multitask. P.S...

Try downloading ES file explorer. It's free on Play store. When you try to move things to the SD card it gives you clear instructions on how to give it permission to do so. Lollipop is a little restrictive on which apps can use the SD card randomly :) Gd luck

Firstly, go to display settings and see if Glove mode is switched on. It increases screen sensitivity and might cause this. If it is OFF, switch it ON -> reboot-> test -> switch off -> reboot. It might make the screen recalibrate itself, since you dont have root and cant initiate a screen...

UCH10 is Sony's QC certified charger. UCH20 is the successor of EP880 (the one that was bundled with all previous Z series). It is not QC certified but charges slightly quicker that its predecessor(even though it's output is listed as the same). WIth that being said, there has been reports that...

You could've easily gotten a faulty device. A but load of hardware issues can do that and I would advice you to do a factory reset, update to the latest F/W (flash it if not available in ur region), see if it happens again and if it does - get a replacement :) Gd luck

Many users are reporting an improvement on most issues they have if they restore factory settings at least once after they bought the device. Flashing a firmware would work as well Also, Sony is probably putting more effort into Marshmallow now, than polishing Lollipop, so I would wait for that...

Mostly because it makes no difference in the user experience, but makes the SoC constantly process a lot more pixels which would contribute to the heating issues and shorten battery life. This 4K thing is purely for brag, and Sony knows it. Wait until mobile VR grows bigger and there will be...

Does the phone heat up during loading? Sometimes the SoC throttles down due to temperature concerns. There is also a chance the game is not optimized for Snapdragon 810, but I think this is unlikely. If it annoys you try reinstalling the game fresh or moving it to SD card. Or if it is already...

If the phone has no SIM lock, it's bootloader should be unlockable. I say "should" since I am not aware of other factors that keep the bootloader locked, but there might as well be. On another note, unless you are a fairly advanced user and are set on flashing your device with a custom kernel...

After a little more that a week and a few discharge cycles, I must say battery is quite decent. It's no Z2, but considering the hungry hungry snapdragon and the 8 million pixels, 3 days make me happy :) Just watch those wakelocks, check your apps/location settings and use the damn Stamina...

is the 23MP secondary camera region based? ;)

On a more positive note, the dudes from this site made a great effort to compare the generations side by side. Gives a nice perspective of the evolution.

Im originally from Bulgaria, mate. I don't have to imagine. But being from the third world you must also be aware that the lowest quality batches get send there and you need to be extra careful. As far as warranty goes, there is no such thing as "no warranty" with a big name brand. You can...

Thats quite disappointing. People here don't like it when they get "only" 4-5 hrs SOT on the Z5P ;) check here -> http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5_premium-review-1344.php loads of samples and a decent review

Nah, was just a 12 hour promo on a Swedish provider :) If u want to hold value, iPhone would be a better option. U'll be happy with both. Battery is fine. I miss my Z2's marathon stamina but I easily get two days and it will get better with andro M. In the end, its a lifestyle choice, dude...

Both have a good front facing camera. The Sony one captures a little more (wider lens) but the quality is not different enough to drive a decision. Right now, before a Firmware update, you'll be happier with the 6s Plus. After Sony releases a couple of updates, I think the Sony will be the...

You sound like a fairly smart and technical dude so I'll give u the benefit of the doubt and try to stay constructive. There are a number of quirks with the Z5P that we all wished were not there, just like there are many quirks with every single phone in it's first months of release :) There...

20 EUR here, on a Z5Premium contingency :)

She says thanks ;) Had to resync all a few times but it did the trick. Cheers :)

Contact photo The thing handles brilliantly, rajeev. High five for a job well done I've got 1 little quirk to report. I've tried flashing with the normal call screen, black full screen, white full screen, etc., with the same result - the contact pic just sits in a little round bubble on the...

Brilliant mate. Hope you had solid holidays. Let us know if u need help with testing. Im game

You the man! Dont wanna seem needy but Long Press backbutton to kill? :)

Cheers for the cam button fix niaboc79. U provide better support than Sony does ;) The Long Press Back to end task was a killer idea. Did u leave it for v3.0 or I just don't find it? Another high five, for a sweet update.

Existenz Y I fiercely urge everyone to try Existenz. normal daily usage stamina mode always on(exceptions for mail, social apps and Cerberus) wifi and BT always on The highest of fives for niaboc79 cheers

I have the same problem. LP (existenz y rom) on Z2. Tried flashing, copy/paste to /etc and manually editing the file. First two break camera (does not save flash photos) Editing the file with ES text editor, does not apear to change the flash brightness. Any ideas guys? Anyone got it working...

Right choice, chief. Make sure they know how f***in' awesome you are ;)

So far, way above my already high expectations :) Cheers and the highest of fives, chief. You've earned it. Again P.S. Would you consider adding "Long press back button to kill current app" in the NavBar options? Thats the only Xposed option Im missing :)

Good ideas, bro :) Sadly i tried all of them ( except Flashtool for Xperia, since my bootloader is not unlockable ). Several SIM cards, various operators in 2 countries. As I mentioned in my first post, I even went as far as ordering a new radio unit ( a chip that houses the speaker and radio +...
