I've been trying this since i read this reply and it works pretty much every time. If I slowly double tap it works 4/5 times, regular Double tap maybe works 2 or 3 out of 5. The double tap to wake on my friends Z5 works flawlessly every time at multiple speeds. But triple tap has been doing...

Any time you reverse the charge current is one cycle. How far down you discharge is your depth of discharge. So even if you drain the phone from 80% to 70% and plug it in and only charge it back up to 80%, that's one cycle. What you are saying would be true if you don't discharge the battery at...

It helps me to plug the phone in, go to settings, switch battery care off then back on and it usually works. I still keep the setting on all the time. Also I typically restart my phone after plugging it in every night and closing backround running apps. It seems to minimize any bugs I have...

If you aren't using your phone for data or you have WiFi available I would suggest turning off 4G data or disabling the mobile data transfer alltogether. With WiFi you still have all the data capabilities you would with mobile data on. I do this at work and have noticed a significant boost to my...

I would say mine works properly 8-9/10 times. Of the times it has failed, I have noticed it is more frequent when power saver mode is on. I have also noticed it tends to work better when I pick the phone up as opposed to when it is sitting on a flat surface.

Give it a couple cycles and play around with the stamina mode settings. Lithium batteries generally won't output their full capacity until 5-10 charge and discharge cycles. That being said your battery life does sound somewhat short depending on what you have running in the background. I Use the...

If you have it in stereo mode it isn't as loud. If you want your phone to just have loud speakers and but not necessarily sound as nice then turn on mono and play with your audio equalizer and the volume increases noticeably. Honestly I don't really have any problem with the volume of the stereo...

similar to the Z5. Very clear but not terribly loud. the stereo volume is very noticeable and nice but it could definitely be louder. My ringtone is sufficiently loud I haven't had any problems hearing my phone ring

To be perfectly honest I'm not sure. I never have really had to use wifi calling. I if I have I wasn't aware of it. Looking through my settings I don't see any setting for wifi calling, but I'm also not exactly sure where it was before either. I definitely haven't noticed a decrease in call...

Did you buy a used phone? My XZ came with an OEM SONY QC 3.0 rated charger. Using Gsam battery monitor pro I get readings up to 2200+ mAh charge rates between 30 and 60% battery. That is generally considered to be the safest range to fast charge lithium ion batteries (fast charge generally being...

I flashed my US XZ with the UK firmware (1305-2216) and everything is functioning flawlessly. I now have fingerprint functionality as well as the Battery Care feature. The cell signal bar range went from 5 total bars to 4 total bars displayed, but checking dBm I have the same signal strength...

I was very torn between the GS7 which I could have grabbed for $550, $600. I couldn't find a SM-G930T with a warranty however for less than $650, or $750 through the carrier. I like the always on screen feature of the GS7 but I prefer the tap to wake feature offered on the XZ. Most flagship...

It appears that this flip cover has an opening at the top for the speaker and camera edit: Well, It also appears that I misread your post lol

I've been using the phone about a week now. I am very satisfied with my battery life so far. Last night I flashed the UK firmware to access the Battery Care feature as well as the fingerprint sensor. We will see if my battery life changes post firmware flash, but it seemed to do fine today. I...

You could try replacing the battery. Were you able to do any overall functionality check on the device before working on it? See any corrosion on the logic or water damage indicators tripped? What did you do to test the LCD?
