[Xperia Z5 General] elixir.:
Received this phone as a gift few months ago,decided to keep it,(thought camera is good,another mistake)it sucks,really sucks....I barely use it and can survive almost a day,if I make calls or watch YouTube it will die within 2-3 hours. Also it has very poor reception compared to my other phone,maybe that's the reason for battery drain...anyway,terrible battery.

All stock.

I don't understand how others on stock get 4+ hours screen on time..I barely have any apps installed...

I'm gonna smash it against the wall ? useless phone.
[Xperia Z5 General] pitx:
3 years with this phone. Now with 7.1.1 rooted. I was having 2 hours SOT... Changed the battery last month and i'm having 4.5 hours SOT. All day with 3G, BT for 1 hour in the car, spotify at work, facebook/twitter, some youtube, etc.

I have Magisk with Greenify and FSC Thermal Engine module (LXT doesn't work for me). Quite happy with the actual battery life.
[Xperia Z5 General] fily1212:
My girlfriend do 45 minutes of SoT, she has a unusable battery drain. I want to try a custom rom, what do you advise to me?

4.5 hours?? Wow, rooted with stock rom or custom?

I have just got a bluetooth mouse tecknet BM306 and it connects to my tablet OK, however the mouse pointer is jerky and jumpy, impossible to use. The buttons and the mouse wheel work fine.

I have tried the same mouse on my laptop and it works perfectly. It did install some drivers when it first connected. On the tablet however it does not install any drivers so am not sure if I would need some different/better bluetooth drivers for it.

Can anyone hep or shoudl I return it?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
You cannot install drivers on an tablet, you are at the mercy of compatibility on Samsung`s wifi/bluetooth tranceiver does your mouse still jump around when the wifi is off, as wifi and bluetooth operate on the same frequency.

I have an Hama M2140 bluetooth mouse and it works great with my T800 with the wifi running at the same time and it is small an relatively cheap.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliman:
Turning the wireless off had no effect.

I had another mouse (MEMTEQ) which worked OK until it died. This mouse is the replacement .

I will look to buy another mouse or maybe I can download a more recent bluetooth driver and install it? My tablet is rooted so I could do it if I had the necessary driver and instructions.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
You cannot install a driver on an android tablet, you must be having some compatibility problem. Try another brand of mouse.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rookie12:
Yep I fully agree with Tinderbox its the mouse or the tablet one of them is not compatible
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliman:
Thank you guys, I will buy (yet) another mouse. This will be number 3!

When I get a new text and have unread texts my phone will repeatedly play the notification sound as many times as there are unread texts. I am running evolvesms, smart launcher pro 3, on android 5.0.1. Default notifications are turned off. how do i change this to only alert me to the most recent text?!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Go into settings->accessibility and make that notification reminder is turned off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Caprario:
yep!

yep tried that. even have uninstalled and installed new sms apps to no avail. Thanks though!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
NFC Tags are awesome for automating stuff. Want easy to activate sleep tracking? Just set up a tag near your bed. Want easy to activate car mode? Set up a tag somewhere in your car. But they have one big flaw: to use them, you must take your big ass phone out of your pocket.

[YOUTUBE]SSMoesN6oxc[/YOUTUBE]

(In above example, I activate sleep tracking, disable always-on mode and enable theater mode by just touching the tag. Always-on mode is then automagically re-enabled in the morning when sleep tracking stops.)

NfcTagRelay is simple and light tool that reads tags using your smartwatch and then relays the tag detection event to the phone, so it can be acted upon using various automation apps such as Tasker.

How it works

Every NFC tag has unique ID that can be used to identify it. That ID is broadcasted via Intent to all apps on the phone whenever tag is scanned. It is broadcasted via two different intents:

Intent 1

Action: com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG

Extras:

tagid = <ID of the tag>

Intent 2

Action: com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID of the tag>

(This second one is more useful for apps that cannot filter Intents by extras such as Tasker).

Tasker example

Here is my example on how I'm receiving tags via Tasker. As mentioned above, app sends events via Intents. That is why we will be using System -> Intent Received Tasker event.

1. ID Receiving Context

First we have to figure out what is the ID of the tag that we are scanning. For that we can use com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG which also broadcasts tag ID.

Create new context with System -> Send Intent event

Under intent action enter com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG (See attached picture 1.)

In task that is triggered by this, copy contents of the %tagid variable to the clipboard. For convenience, you can also copy it along the rest of the second intent (see attached picture 2).

After you get the tag ID, you can delete that context or just disable it to add more tags later. It is triggered when you scan any tag so you likely won't need it.

2. TAG Context

Now that we have the ID, we can create context that will be activated whenever tag with that ID is scanned. For that we will use com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID> intent.

Create new context with System -> Send Intent event

Under intent action enter com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID>, where you replace "<ID>" with the actual ID of the tag (See attached picture 3.)

In task that is triggered by this, add whatever you want. This task will be triggered every time you scan tag with specified ID.

Installation

Install Sony SmartWatch 3 NFC Support Package. Without that, NFC will not work at all on your watch.

Install included APK to your phone

After some time (usually up to a minute), app will be automatically installed to the watch (you will get notification). After that you may also need to grant the app NFC permissions (it will ask on the watch). Make sure you do, otherwise it won't work.

Huge thanks to user ebones. Without him, this would not be possible.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nath6284:
Hi, all installed and appears to be working. Although I didn't get any notifications to grant NFC permissions etc. Can you also please confirm the name of the app once installed on the watch?

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
I think it only asks for permission if you are running Marshmallow on the phone.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] nath6284:
Has anyone managed to get an NFC tag (or reader for that matter) to relay to another app? I know this app does work with tasked, but it would be great if there were a way to relay to a chosen app. E.g. HID Mobile Access.

And does this app allow two way communication?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MRMACGEEK:
no app?

i dont get a notification about the app being installed on my smartwatch. what should i do?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
Does it appear under all apps?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MRMACGEEK:
yes. i can uninstall it without problems too. but reinstalling didnt work
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
I mean on the watch.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MRMACGEEK:
no it doesnt

EDIT: after a factory reset and completely starting over it still doesnt show

EDIT 2: this does show up tho [IMG="screenshot"]https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=0BxIKnPNhXdPWeWVEXzBacnJQYk90MU4zcHNvcTdyd3FjQmhF&authuser=0&v=1452003274639&sz=w320-h200-k[/IMG]
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
Then you don't need to confirm permissions. It should work by itself.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] MRMACGEEK:
Thanks. Then i might have a mistake in tasker.

No, this is only for detecting NFC tags and perform various actions when detected.

Hi,

please, tell me your full setup (device, ROM, etc.).

After days of trying to get it to work I'm really frustrated and have no idea what to do.

My device is a Samsung Note 3 and I tried it with Kitkat 4.4 (Sweet ROM), Lollipop 5.1 (Dark Wolf), Android 7 (Resurrection) and several versions of the wear app. But nothing workes.

Smartwatch 3 Setup: TWRP, LCA43 (Android 5.1.1, built-in Wear App Version 1.3.x), NFC Support Package, Wear-SuperSU

Smartwatch 3 Working: for each new pairing with the different Smartphone OS's the watch had to be resetted and after that I installed "Wear Mini Launcher" and "NfcTagRelay" (as well as I did the steps mentioned in several descriptions e.g. enable dev & usb debugging), the NfcTagRelay installed successfully and gave the option to enable/disable NFC

Note 3: within each new OS I installed the appropiate gapps and apk's ("Wear App" v1.3.x, "Wear Mini Launcher" and "NfcTagRelay"), installation with other versions of the wear app on the phone didn't work, as expected

Note 3 Setup with Kitkat 4.4.2: Wear App works fine, connection is always enabled, Mini Launcher works great too. But that didn't work for the nfc purpose. The watch seems not to scan any tag (no vibration notification at the watch, no reaction on the phone)

Note 3 Setup with Lollipop 5.1 (Dark Wolf): Wear App does not find the watch (as far as I remember, have to test this another time, coming soon...)

Note 3 Setup with Android 7.1.1 (Ressurection Remix): after succesful pairing with the Wear App it seems to loose an active connection and on several actions in the app a message pops up that their is no connection, Smartwatch reacts on nfc scan with vibration, no reaction on the phone

I've taken the stock boot image (kernel) from a few different devices and repacked them in order to make them safe for use with SuperSU.

These kernels are Samsung stock SEAndroid enforcing. That means higher security (but also the chance that some *root* programs fail.) The ramdisk is modified to allow SuperSU to work, and to prevent boot loops when you're using a modified device. The ramdisk is also modified to work around the samsung kernel bug that would prevent some devices from going into deep sleep.

Other than these changes, they are completely, 100% stock. They will NOT auto-root your device (though it is safe to install SuperSU after installing this kernel), they won't grow new hair on your head, and most certainly won't find you a spouse.

For details on the changes, please read this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/note5/orig-development/kernel-discussion-root-recompiling-t3219990

As these are STOCK kernels (not recompiled), all your hardware should continue to work properly. From my own tests, I have no reboot issues, no NFC issues, etc.

Each file attached here has a file name that reflect the firmware I pulled it from. Read it carefully. Don't use a kernel that shouldn't be used on your device!

Files ending with ".tar.zip" can be unzip'd (they contain only a .tar file) and applied via ODIN (PDA/AP section.) The files must be unzipped before used in ODIN. These ".tar.zip" files can NOT be flashed with TWRP or CWM.

Files ending with just ".zip" are meant to be flashed via TWRP or CWM. You can also extract the .img files from the .tar.zip files mentioned above and flash those directly with TWRP (using the proper options.)

Yes, this will trip KNOX if it's not already tripped...

Hello all audiophile Z5 owners!

How is the headphone output on this phone?

Is the quality good and loud?

Where can I find more specifications of the headphone jack and internal amp?
[Xperia Z5 General] RCJ89:
I wouldn't say I was a proper audio file but the audio on the z5 is good its really clear and louder than previous Z phones but once again sony have missed the loudness trick.

After reading GSM arenas review of the C5 ultra and the M5 saying without headphones the volume levels were 'excellently high' and with headphones they fell to below average on the C5 and fell on the M5 too but it was so high on the M5 to start off with that that it still remained a good volume. So this means that the M5 is louder than the Z5 range, I had high hopes for the Z line then they tested the Z5C and it just got a average.
[Xperia Z5 General] luhesan:
According to GSM Arena.

Audio quality has its ups and downs

The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact did a very good job in the first part of our audio quality test, where it's connected to an active external amplifier. The scores it got were great top to bottom but it only matched them with an average volume level so we can't quite call it perfect.

Plugging in a pair of headphones harm the stereo crosstalk but it remained decent, but it also introduced a bit of frequency response deviation and brought the volume down a notch. Not too bad of a showing, but certainly not one worth bragging about.
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
I can't consider myself an audiophile but I will say the Z5 audio is an.improvement over the Z5 in both clarity and volume. It doesn't approach ZTE Axon level of quality and HTC M9 volume but it is adequate for the casual listener. I have dsee hx switched on which disables all other audio settings.
[Xperia Z5 General] entra6:
how is the volume in z5 compare to z3
[Xperia Z5 General] RCJ89:
louder than Z3 but imo could be louder yet still
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Exactly, well stated.
[Xperia Z5 General] Timaustin2000:
Coming from the Z1 it's a massive improvement on just about every level: Cleaner, wider and louder. It's very good, I'd say - I've certainly enjoyed listening to music on it very much!

"Loud enough"? How loud do you need it to be? Any louder than it is and I'm sure you'd hurt your hearing: it's plenty loud.
[Xperia Z5 General] RCJ89:
Tbh there are many phones alot louder than the Z5 and the whole sony range and people are not complaining. There are phones from HTC, Iphone, Note 4/5/Edge Plus and especially Xiaomi and Meizu that are alot louder.
[Xperia Z5 General] Timaustin2000:
Of that I have no doubt but do people put those phones to max volume? Do they need to? The ability and necessity are two separate things.

The Z5 is plenty loud for just about any headphone need, so far as I can make out. I'd certainly never put it to max.
[Xperia Z5 General] TordFuglstad:
Allright, so I purchased the graphite black Z5 yesterday. I have done some quick listening to the audio out of the jack through my ATH IM50 in ear monitors and haven't broken in the hardware yet. But I can definitely hear a difference from the Z3. All over the sound is very clear, it seems like a good separation and I can definitely get some really smooth low tones and crisp higher tones as well. I haven't been fooling around with the EQ yet. But feel like I don't need to.

About the loudness, I feel it is louder than the Z3 and very much loud enough to run a pair of good IEM's like the IM50's. I am listening now and have the volume two down from maximum. Probably won't be as loud with some big headphones. But any a person with a little self respect will have a headphone amp for that purpose. :good:
[Xperia Z5 General] RCJ89:
Fair enough for me its the bigger expensive headphones that make the difference with less expensive headphones like in ear or on ear it is never loud enough, in a busy street i still can hear noise around me.

I know some people who do have them on max volume definitely. I always had my note 4 on max volume and my HTC M7 and my 6S but only with lesser expensive headphones on headphones £200 and over no need to but even when are not at max they are still louder than Z5 at Max volume. Each to their own at the end of the day but sometimes its not always practical for me to carry around my larger headphones so I use in ear ones than I can just put in my pocket.
[Xperia Z5 General] SurferLTU:
Hi,

I'm also trying to squeeze perfect sound from android. I use this portable DAC

http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audioquest-dragonfly-v12-usb-dac/

via USB OTG cable. For playback I use "USB audio player pro". It can stream very high resolution audio files. At the moment I'm listening music on Audio technica ATH M50x headphones.

Sound with external DAC is a way better than directly from audio jack :)
[Xperia Z5 General] Adrift98:
That's unfortunate. One of the reasons I sent back my iPhone 6s, and opted to get a Z5 Compact is because I didn't think the sound of the 6s was much of a step up from my iPhone 4s. I was hoping the Z5 would be louder and fuller, especially for in-ear headphones at the gym. Might just be the headphones I've been using though. Maybe an upgrade in that department would resolve any potential issues I might have with the Z5.
[Xperia Z5 General] Ben36:
I use sennheiser mm50 ip in ear phones with poweramp set to rock preset and to me the sound is nice crisp quality at loud enough volume levels

[MENTION=6348454]TordFuglstad[/MENTION] & [MENTION=5126759]Timaustin2000[/MENTION] I've been enjoying your camera works (on 'that' thread) very much. Maybe you guys could post on the 'regular' photo thread at times :)

Don't get me wrong, guys. Before dropping > $100 on a pair of cans, maybe an 'audiophile' should get a cheap $50 DAC first. But it's not very convenient - we all know. That's why I'm looking at LDAC for the first time (wireless SQ is usually terrible compared to wired). LDAC could still be over-hyped, I'm willing to give it shot for the first time. But I can't find too many LDAC headphones to choose from. Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z5 General] joe_dude:
I read that there is no custom DAC in the Z5 (vs. Z3), but they added LDAC support. Unfortunately, I can't find almost any headphones that support it. I was really hoping they would have added it to the SBH bluetooth line by now. :(
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
How does the audio quality compare to HTC Butterfly s (which I have now) or I9505 Galaxy S4? What about HTC M9 or iPhone 6?

I take GSMArena's results with a grain of salt. I bought the Butterfly s partly based on their review saying the volume was loud and that there was no distortion. Unfortunately, while the audio quality is great at medium-high volumes the bass distorts above 12/15, and there is hissing with IEMs.

My questions are 1) do these hiss? and 2) do they distort with bass? (test track would be Daft Punk - Touch)
[Xperia Z5 General] DZH1:
I'm a hardcore SONY audiophile, and while the Z5 is fantastic, the Walkman ZX2 is still by FAR my favorite mobile music player when coupled with the XBA-Z5 in-earphones ( made in Japan ) and/or Z7 headphones ( made in Japan) by Sony,

followed in close 2nd place by the newer less pricey ZX100 Walkman, which is a step up from the A series.
[Xperia Z5 General] koziakauzu:
Lol even the A series is stomping on the Z5. No point to compare it to the zx2/1/100

Sent from my E6653
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Agreed, unfair to compare to dedicated music player. Sound on Z5 is decent but like most Sony phones, definitely not loud enough.
[Xperia Z5 General] Katsigaros:
Has anyones tryed the LDAC headphones MDR-1ABT and seen any diference when they are wired and wireless via bluetooth? Do the low resolution audio files require the wired chrord when the DSEE HX is on?
[Xperia Z5 General] Jooosty:
Coming from the ears of a non audiophile.

My old M8 seemed much better, even the iPhone are better honestly. Volume is a bit low.

XPERIA Z5 GREEN
[Xperia Z5 General] Adrift98:
I didn't find the iPhone to be much better. Maybe a tick louder on speakers and headphones, but not by much. Looks like I might end up pairing it with a small portable amp like an Aqua when it comes out to compensate.
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
How is the headphone jack itself? Is it flimsy or wiggly? (I suspect it may be over time though) My HTC Butterfly s is kinda broken, got it fixed in Taiwan only for it to break again in a few months (mainly cuz I dropped the phone on SOFT CARPET!) -_- I need an indestructable headphone jack, lol
[Xperia Z5 General] Jooosty:
It's very solid and firm like it should be

XPERIA Z5 GREEN
[Xperia Z5 General] Adrift98:
I haven't had any issues with the headphone jack so far. It doesn't appear to be flimsy, but it is a little bit wiggly, though, I've never tested the wiggliness of other headphone jacks, so I don't know if that's normal wiggle or not.
[Xperia Z5 General] Hanger4life:
Maybe im no audiophile either,but I listen to 2hr of music a day easy. Ive never owned a pair of over the ear wired cans,but my Outdoor Tech privates are over the ear 40mm drivers that are blue tooth. They are very very loud listening through the z5. I have some wired jlab 4 I think that sounded great through my z3 tablet compact,and my z3 phone,but are garbage through the z5. However I think the bluetooth output from the z5 is improved slightly over the z3.

I really dont understand why more people aren't using blue tooth cans.....why do you all mess with those wires? With that being said, the Outdoor Tech privates do have an audio in 3.5 mm jack if the battery dies on you. :)
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Is there any static when a plug is spun around? When I first got my Butterfly s there was a buzz when a headphone plug was spun around but it went away quickly. On my iPad2, I get a subtle pop every time a headphone is plugged in and spun a few times.
[Xperia Z5 General] cklow01:
My volume is always less than 50%.
[Xperia Z5 General] Adrift98:
Nope. No static when spun around.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

Wireless is typically more expensive, and as I understand it, output quality still isn't quite as good as a wired pair.
[Xperia Z5 General] Hanger4life:
I can't speak fore wired cans,but wired ear buds are 5 times lower output than my Bluetooth cans(outdoor tech privates) $79 on amazon.
[Xperia Z5 General] Katsigaros:
Yes they are expendive but wirelles is always better and you can easily do things while you listen to music. And Sony now claims that with LDAC you don't lose the output quality.
