How good is it for Underwater camera usage (video and photos)?

Has anyone had an experiences taking under water photography or video footage? One of the only reasons I would assume anyone bought this phone (being far inferior to others in the same processor segment ) would be for the waterproofing.

I would really like to know since the Z3 and Z2 threads had lots of issues with waterproofing, breaking under water, as well as issues with not working after the water drop or drive.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdosti:
Just curious: Have you recorded long 4k videos underwater? I've read that after about 4.5 minutes of recording 4k video (not underwater) that the camera shuts down due to overheating. I'm wondering if being in a liquid would enhance cooling enough to allow a longer video recording time.

(Question copied from someone else on another site but the question remains mine here)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdosti:
The IP rating of your device was achieved in laboratory conditions in standby mode, so you should not use the device underwater, such as taking pictures. Do not use the device to take photos while performing any type of activity underwater, including diving or snorkeling.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leathran:
Well i'm still wondering how to take videos underwater, since you can lock the touchscreen and take photos with the photo button on the side.

But you can't use that button to start recording, or I just haven't found that option yet to customize the hardware buttons.

So when recording a video i'm using another app for locking the screen while recording, however the home/back button on the bottom of the screen isn't locked then so the water still recognizes touch input..

But photo's are great!
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guhrasoh:
Don't use the hardware buttons under water. They are sealed against water by a small rubber ring that placed between the button and the case. While the button is not pressed this prevents water from entering the phone, if you press the button it creates a gap between the rubber and the case which allows water to enter phone. This can lead to damage in the phone.

These phones are not designed as under water cameras. Their ability to whitstand water is designed to lessen the impact of accidental exposure to water, like spilling a glass over them or getting raindrops on them. That's it, even if the marketing department of Sony advertises them differently (don't believe ads).
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leathran:
Did not knew that,since i have taken like 30 underwater photos on my holiday, in r chlorinated water and fresh-water.

But that with the buttons could be true yea, never thought about that.

However, sony does say:

Submersion to 1.5 m for 30 mins

And i thought submersion means, completely underwater?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdosti:
You could perhaps use a waterproof cover (I know who silly that may sound though) on top of the Z3, thus allowing you to click or press on the hardware keys. Its pretty much like double waterproofing (or at least one tight layer on top that would support a 2m dive and would not have issues using the hardware key on the phone). However, the only worry I see is the additional cost and time to take a waterproof cover which acts as your first guard, and / or the fact that there will still be pressure of some sort when you take your dive however I believe the impacts should be minimized enough so you can do it.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an3k:
Don't listen to rdosti. He doesn't have a clue. The only correct thing he wrote about is not using the hardware buttons under water but that's it. You can use your phone under water (up to 1,5 meter depth and up to 30 minutes and ONLY in fresh water. Chlorinated water is ok if you rinse your phone under fresh water afterwards!).

Open the app switcher. You now get a small gray bar at the bottom. If you see an icon with a blue finger and a lock (called "Touch Block") start it. If you don't see it, tap the small simplified arrow on the very left on the gray bar to get a list of all "Small Apps". There you see the icon and start it from there. You can move around the popup windows. Start your preferred camera app and start recording a video. Now activate the the Touch Block button. The screen is now completely locked but the phone is not, thus you can keep recording. Now dive under water. Do not unlock the screen or use any hardware button while under water. Once you re-surfaced you can unlock the screen and stop recording.

Might be worth watching this video all the way through (Z3 unboxed and booted up and used for photos and video underwater) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIf9GdCzY_Y
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdosti:
As per Sony this was a marketing video and that's pretty much it. I know all of you are taking the marketing videos as reference points, but you need to understand marketing videos are for marketing / sale. I'm not saying I am right - I'm just saying thats what the Sony Service Center team explained (We have two in our city) so I went and met both since having my own question about it to decide whether the Z3 was for me or not. In the process I was guided to the Sony website for "Waterproofing" which explains what the teach team are guided by. In fact, they are told not to entertain anything except what the waterproofing guide they are given which explains what is allowed or not (different from website)

I'm just trying to safeguard to genuine interest of phone owners so they don't go through the terrible ordeals of many customers and members in the Z3 (not plus) section as well as the Z2 section. This also helps other members to re-check with their local Sony Service center (if available) to ensure they have the right information in case of a warranty requirement at any point of time. I have not heard of one service center allowing or saying openly there is a warranty on submerging your phone in an active state and so I began my research into it by asking the company directly (the guys who service the phones, not the ones who market it). However in a meeting with the sales team they also opened up when I told them I want the phone for "video shooting and photographs" in "fresh water" but will completely submerge it but just by a few inches or a foot, they said be careful not to submerge it and use it in active mode. Our support team are smart to figure out when you do that and will void warranty and you won't be able to do much. Now being in India - that's true. Not much of consumer forums that help or lawsuits that go through. However, I am curious to know seeing the number of issues people have had with both the Z2 and Z3 on underwater videos or for that matter simple water proofing issues in plain simple water (no extra ingredients) whether anyone or a group have attempted suing Sony over warranty void issues since the phone is not at all cheap (perhaps it is with a carrier). For us over here its USD 800 appx (Rs. 47,000-52,000).

and Finally, just in case someone is going to say Indian support doesn't know anything or the website... UK has the same information available on it's website (I'm certain USA has a link too similar to this)

http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiaz3/dm/water-and-dust-resistance/
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miker71:
I agree that if you go to Sony support saying your phone broke after taking video for 20 minutes under water - they will respond by saying the warranty is invalidated.

Like most insurance policies, warranties are notoriously conservative to avoid paying out at the slightest hint of unsupported usage. You are correct that the Sony UK website explicitly states that their waterproof phone is not in fact waterproof for legal reasons.

However for anyone willing to take the risk, you can take photos and videos in fresh water in controlled conditions - but it invalidates the warranty.

I have used my z3 many times to take pics and videos in the pool. I activate recording using the dedicated camera button. I have had no problems at all apart from the speakers volume becomes significantly lower when wet but are back to normal once they dry.

Nb: the pool depth is 1.5M at its deepest point so it is within the max allowed depth for this phone's certification.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohijavata:
Which charger to use? (no quickcharge)

I bought a Samsung charger for my upcoming Nexus 6, i don't want to use the quick charger that comes with the phone. I am starting to suspect that this one is also a quick charger, can anyone look at the attached pictures and tell me? Also if it isn't a quick charger i would like to use it for the long run so my second question is would my battery be affected because of what says on the back of the box that i highlighted? In the highlight are also the specs of the charger, can someone clear this up for me?

EDIT: I cannot post pictures on the forum just yet, so here are the specs

10W Samsung travel adapter, Input 100-240VAC 50-60Hz, Output 5.0VDC 2A

Use only with compatible Samsung devices
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
2 amp will deliver 2 amp, which is what the turbo charger will deliver, so yes it will turbo charge. Why don't you want to turbo charge?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohijavata:
I want to use the phone for a couple of years and don't want to shorten the battery life and also have the risk of inflating battery and everything that comes with it. What kind of charger should i buy to charge it in some "normal" time? The salesman in Samsung store told me this one charges Note 4, Galaxy S5 - which is why i bought it - the S5 doesn't have the quickcharge tech so i instantly thought it was an ordinary charger. On the other hand, my Galaxy Nexus official charger is rated for 1.0 A which surely isn't strong enough to charge the 6 properly so i am confused with what kind of a charger and with what ratings should i get? Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
2amps isn't going to shorten the life below 2 years. Higher amps only shorten life if they are above battery tolerances, which 2 amps is not.

Anyway, you'll want a 1 or 1.2 amp charger for slow charging
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohijavata:
Can i use this charger safely with the Nexus 6? After some researching this one is actually quickcharge 1.0 by the specs so i it should not be so "harsh" with the temperature on the phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00442:
If I were you, I would use the charger that comes with the Nexus 6. Which is tested by Motorola to work properly. I've had my Nexus 6 since December 2014 and no problems. I charge through my laptop will at work though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
He wants slow charging. So charging through laptop / pc will be fine.

Charge cspacity of usb ports is 500 mA (900 mA for USB 3.0), that's good for slow charging.

Also 1-dollar charger from eBay will be fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
He wants it but hasn't got a valid reason to want it. The motorola charger is the best charger to use and it won't shorten his battery life.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
And slow charging won't lengthen it.;(
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Nope. So the only thing that will change is his phone will take longer to charge.

That said for me, turbo charge stopped working and I'm very annoyed.

Google have first sent me a new charger which still hasn't arrived. Though I think the issue is the phone. But I wanted to avoid a refurb as long as possible. Can't live without turbo charge now.

It most definitely doesnt turbo charge, it takes atleast 2 hours, so id say its a "normal" charge for this phone and i think its better than the turbo charger, because it doesnt get hot and its still decently fast
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
The turbo output is only supplied on turbo enabled devices. So there is something wrong with switching to turbo modes 9 V and/or 12 V

I am curious what is the cause of this issue.

Did you try an 'charge app' like Ultra Fast Charger.?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I think its a usb port issue myself.

I don't know what a charge app is. I am monitoring my input though. I know the issue is not software as it just stopped working one day last weekend with no software changes.

Actually,.could even be the battery as.my wireless charger is very slow now too.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
There are some apps in the play store claiming to boost the battery charge.

When wireless charging is also slow, than it could be indeed the battery.

Maybe a complete discharging ?

BTW

Turbo mode is only active when the battery is less than 75% charged.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't believe they can but I'm not.going.to try anyway.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid4lif3:
You should use a 5 Volt 2 Amp charger, those chargers are the one's that most phones use. Most new phones are using Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0, which you should use but if you are not comftorable then the 5 Volt 2 Amp will work good.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Errr, QuickCharge will in fact degrade a battery faster, it's still used because most phones only have a 2 year lifespan.

A non QuickCharger will also make it run less hot while charging and also be less likely to cause cell expansion. Not sure why there's so many people denying this.

EDIT:

Including some sources:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150414094117.htm

Please don't tell him that it won't degrade his battery when it definitely will. It's basic chemistry.

To OP:

Any regular non Quick USB charger of reputable make will do fine. I use an older HTC charger. Don't get a super cheap offbrand one as it probably has fluctuating voltage which will also damage your battery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Actually you've misread (or not read fully). No one disputes the science. That article isn't accurate. All it says is "too quickly" and if you read what I have said, is that the turbo charger is within acceptable tolerances. I.E. It is not "too quickly"
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
I think you're not understanding the basic chemistry. More heat = more degradation of the Li-ion battery, regardless of tolerances. A lower power charge will always degrade the battery slower. This isn't about tolerances.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Read post 4.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
You claiming something and then referencing your own post doesn't make it true, sorry. People who want to use their phone for a longer period of time, especially with a non-removable battery should take extra battery degradation due to QuickCharging into account. Again, simple chemistry. You're hurting the consumer by misinforming them.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yep, you've proven you're not reading properly.. That's alright. You just take the parts you want and try and make an argument out of it.

Again lazy reader, no one is disputing the science. We're talking about 2 years as per the OP. Try reading in context before you spout your hurting the consumer BS.

Some people...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
But you're still wrong. Battery degrades faster within 2 years. Battery degradation doesn't magically start at the 2 year mark. So yes you are hurting the consumer.

On top of the fact that OP doesn't mention a specific amount of years, merely a couple, often used for any small number. Don't try and call me a lazy reader to try and deflect from your errors.

EDIT:

Also won't be responding further, if you wish to continue misinforming people then try and deflect when corrected, feel free. Personally I think it's kind of a ****ty thing to do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No errors here.. A couple is two. Always has been and always will be...

The battery is designed to be charged at 2 amps. It's within its acceptable tolerance. This means it should last for 2 years with no noticeable degradation to battery life.. If we were charging it much higher than that, then we may start to notice it within that period but it is not designed for that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Doesn't matter. Even removable batteries with slow charge have a life expectancy of around 18 months regardless of device. Better off going with fast charge if degradation is of concern and you believe fast charge is the culprit. You may make the 1 year RMA window. :p:cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Good.

Nope. I'm not mis-informing anyone, you're blatantly taking my posts out of context through your own inability to read thoroughly. Pointing that out is not a deflection.

Charging the battery with a 2 amp charger for 2 years will not noticeably decrease the length of a discharge cycle over and above that of a 1 amp charger.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohijavata:
I already have a charger

I am properly confused now, i already have a new, unpacked Samsung charger as stated in the first post (10W, 5V, 2.0 A)that's not a Quickcharge 2.0 but rather a Quickcharge 1.0 . I also have a fairly aged charger from my Galaxy Nexus with 1 amp . Should i return this new Samsung charger seeing as i paid for it 30 € and don't want it to sit around if you tell me to buy an ordinary charger?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
Pretty much up to you. The batteries are only designed to last 18-24 months on the shelf. Don't see how you charge helping too much. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Interesting info.

In all devices the battery is a weak link. Maybe the weakest link.

Every charge and don't forget discharge will degrade the battery. It is not the privilege of quick charge.

The M-charger that comes with the N6 is a standard charger with a capacity of 1,6 A at 5 V.

This M-charger does only switch to turbo (9 V 1,6A or 12 V 1,2A) when the device supports that type of charging, and when the battery is less than 78% charged.

We may assume that the N6-battery is suitable to be charged with the delivered M-charger.

The use of so called quick chargers with a high capacity is a different point.

I read that there are chargers used with a capacity of 2,5 A and more.

This kind of quick charging of a N6-battery does not fit within the spec' s of Motorola.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
The standard M-charger has a capacity between 8 - 14 W. (14W is turbo). And is designed to turbo charge the N6-battery. As long as the battery is less than 78% charged.

All these Watts have tolerances. In practice the real charge capacity is lower.

So I think your Samsung 10W charger will charge a N6-battery, but not in quick/turbo mode.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanallaire:
I work with industrial forklift batteries, which are flooded lead acid. There is a specific formula to find out the proper 'normal' charge rate for a battery, so if you find the formula for Li-ion batteries and the stated 2 amps is higher than normal, than it could potentially decrease battery life. But who's to say how long, no one knows unless it gets tested side by side; standard and quick charging..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohijavata:
Definite?

Ok, i need a definite answer, the phone is coming to me on Monday, can i or can i not charge the phone with the said Samsung charger that i bought? It has a higher amperage than the Moto's supplied charger and that is what concerns me the most.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I remember you wrote 10 W 5 V and 2 A,

So 2A x 5 V = 10 watt. The maximum output.

That is no problem for the battery of the N6.

And this is called standard/normal charging.

But for turbo charging we need 14 Watt.

So your Samsung charger is good enough to charge your N6. Turbo charging is not possible.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohijavata:
Ok, thank you for confirming, just wanted to be sure that amperage difference between the two chargers won't affect the phone seeing as it is higher on the Samsung one. I hope i will prolong battery life this way. I will probably sell the bundled turbo charger, how much can i get for it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I'll try to explain why you don't have to worry about the amperage.

Your charger has a capacity of 10 Watt that is more than enough for charging the N6.

The amperage 2A is the maximum output and not a constant value.

When the battery is empty the maximum amperage is in theory 2A, because your charger can not deliver more.

When the battery is full the amperage will be very low because it depends on the resistance of the battery.

I hope it is clear.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nubloatware:
worry too much

Just use the factory charger (Motorola), it was designed for the nexus 6 so take advantage of technology that you paid for.

And if 2-3 years down the line, the battery needs to be replaced, it should be fairly straight forward swap. (Look at the ifixit.com nexus 6 tear down). Check online, you can buy a replacement battery for nexus 6 for about $20.

If you worry about heating up the phone, then avoid using Qi wireless charging. if anything, wireless charging gets way hotter than using factory charger.
