Hi all,

I have a week old Z5 E6653 Rev 4 which i think may also have this problem. I went outside and took a couple shots and made a side by side comparisons of the left edge of the image before and after 180 degree rotation. To be honest i probably wouldn't have noticed this, until i stumbled across this thread.

Please let me know what you guys think? imgur .com/r1ej9Xa - as this is my first post, please remove the spaces in the URL (I need 10 before i can post links).

Is the retailer obliged to swap this one for another new Z5 because of this? I am also yet to get more than 4 hours screen on time which i am slightly disappointed about....

I also noticed that my camera lens is off center (to the right where it states the 23MP) - Does anyone else have this ? Could it be related to the blur?

Photos taken on 8Mp superior auto mode.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Yes go swap your phone with new one and make sure the lens is in the middle.
[Xperia Z5 General] c0des:
Okay, after much debate at the store i finally got my hands on a brand new Z5. Will test the camera and report back. Also hoping for better battery life. Care to pm me how you managed to get 8 hours SOT gm007??
[Xperia Z5 General] devilmaycry2020:
In check test 1 folder> landscape upside-down folder was took after you got new phone or before ? i saw it blur on the right side, but left side is ok.
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
Yes, that's the little blur I've got. But it's left side actually because that pic is taken in landscape, upside-down.
[Xperia Z5 General] devilmaycry2020:
As I saw the right side is blur than the left, look at the pavement

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

yeah, i forgot you take landscape upside down, but you took from new repair phone or old phone ?
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
Yes, from the replacement phone.

It has blur too, but less blur than the first one but I love this phone so I'm okay with it. It can shoot some serious stunning images.
[Xperia Z5 General] cocagenda2:
ok so i got my z5 back from sony they replaced the LCD screen cuz i had white spot and unbalanced backlight but i thought that thay will change the camera modul aswell but it looks like they didnt see what i saw LOL... so at the end they replaced some adhesives , membranes,foils,cushions and gasket around the mic and speakers...thats all i can say, screen is way better then before it feels like more premium ill see if mic is better now but for pictures i cant say a thing cuz i have to do some shooting and then ill report if any better.not bad for sony atleast for now.cheers guys ;)

Hi all

after repair at sony authorized service center, now it 99% no blur at all frame picture.Well done Sony.
[Xperia Z5 General] cyleo:
That did it for me. This picture is soo much better than what my camera is capable of. I'm going to return it. The pictures I take feel like there is some oil on the side.
[Xperia Z5 General] devilmaycry2020:
Yeah, it's look as like as issue on my Z5 before. Now it's almost gone

Hi [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

Today i got my new Z5(E6653 Rev 2) and i noticed some weird blue areas on the left and the right side of my pictures. The cooler the color gets, the bigger the area gets. My lens is clean. Is this normal or do i have to send it back? :/

Not sure if it's software or hardware cause i have it too but read this http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...dges-of-low-light-photos/m-p/1077385#U1077385
[Xperia Z5 General] ross23:
Yeah I have this issue too on my Z5. Its actually a known issue on the Z5 phones. Hopefully this is a software issue!!
[Xperia Z5 General] pederado30381:
But it doesnt affect every Z5, right?

So there could be a chance to get a fully working unit if i send it back?
[Xperia Z5 General] ross23:
Possibly? I personally havn't seen a Z5 without this problem, most units seem to be afflicted with this issue even the Z5C and Z5P. I personally think it is software related.

But if you do return the phone, there is a chance it could still be present in the replacement unit. Unfortunately this issue is widespread!

Have you tries taking photos at night using different settings?

Maybe try taking a photo in manual mode with night mode SCN and see if it can help. Apparently this can rectify the issue. See if changing from 23mp to 8mp can help too, in manual mode.
[Xperia Z5 General] Dusky_Nembrotha:
This looks a little more like motion blur to me - remember with no OIS, on a dull day you have to hold fairly steady to capture a sharp shot. The wide-angle of the lens causes exaggerated motion at the edges of the capture leading to blur here but less noticeable in the centre
[Xperia Z5 General] devilmaycry2020:
This is not hand shake i thought it,it's camera module problem, Sony replace it and problems has gone
[Xperia Z5 General] pederado30381:
Ok. Thats kinda stupid :D. At least i´m not the only one with this problem.

I already tried it with different SCN, but this doesnt seem to help. But it get better if i switch from 8mp to 20mp or 23mp. I also got the feeling that i get better results when switching to automatic mode(with 20MP) . But thats just a feeling :D
[Xperia Z5 General] frankm87:
Hi guys. My turn :D

So far, I've looked at hundreds of samples from the Z5 and in ALL cases, and I really say ALL, you can determine which one of the two sides, left or right, is the blurrier of the two. In other words, the lens is always slightly off-centered.

There are 2 exceptions to this: pictures from [MENTION=5126759]Timaustin2000[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4868605]bloodfire1004[/MENTION].

In all other cases, I am able to literally determine which side is affected more than the other.

Here are some samples from mine. Opinions?

Blur and/or focus issues here, probably

Took me a few attemps to exacerbate the issue.

The color reproduction of the Z5 is otherwise brilliant. Love how natural pictures are. They seem to be exactly the way I see them when I press the shutter.
[Xperia Z5 General] danw_oz:
I was taking a photo of a flat white board straight on today, and the left hand blur issue was insane, centre was super sharp, left 1/3 rubbish and the right 1/3 pretty good.

Can't show you the pic because it has business information, I will try to take another to show as an example.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nldxda:
How's the feel of the frost? Is it identical to the aluminium?

What about scratches? Does the coating flake off and reveal silver color, similar to the graphite?

Also, will the frost's sides bend as easily as the aluminium?

As my graphite is already mysteriously flaking and revealing silver, I'm returning my 32gb graphite today and gonna repurchase a 64gb aluminium or frost..

I just don't wanna have the same problem with frost =/

Anybody care to share their frost experience?

You can see the tiny silver spot that has appeared on the bottom right corner.. This mysteriously happened as I haven't even dropped the phone.. I saw a user on Reddit already have a few of these around the camera bump =/.. I'm returning it while I can and changing colors (and sizes)..

Shame tho because I much prefer the graphite color..

Anyone else find themselves bored with the Note 5? My device is rooted, slick wrapped, whole shabang but I just like eh...what's next. Thinking of moving to S6 edge plus. ..any thoughts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tommason1968:
Get a flip phone.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] shook187:
How do you get bored with a phone? You mean you get bored cuz you have nothing to do? How does a phone make your life less boring? I suggest you pick up an activity other than holding a phone. I suggest you use your a S-pen and draw something to pass time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] PDXMatt:
Nope.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] dreisus:
Give it done time until the experimental roms come out with all new features and a ton of instability. You become less bored and use tons of time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Nope. It's not the phone. It's you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] glensta:
Yep I've been bored with my past phones too and after close self examination, wala, it's me! So.........It's you! ;):p:D:o:):mad::angel::cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I know the itch trust me, but much like many of my failed relationships. Im gonna try and make this one work. Flashing tends to tide me over, the downside is we can't flash anything but TW based roms.. Flashing CM on my Note 4 gave me a little bit of that new phone feeling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] emailrob:
I know the problem. You're bored because your phone is fully functioning, great battery life, great screen etc etc. What you need is a phone that has compromises. Then you can spend hours and hours trying to fix issues with root and xposed and stuff like that :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] southphillysean:
Well isn't this a wasted thread. Buy an Iphone.....done!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Its not really wasted when you can help another user find a new way to love their device.. This certainly isn't any more useless than the new threads that get created everytime there is an update, I mean we do have stickied posts that speak on that very topic.

To the OP I would ask what your expectation is with the Edge Plus, do you think the loss of the pen will be overshadowed by the edge features gained? Why not try that new LG?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] SystemErrorOne:
Trust me I know the struggle. I can't wait for cm builds so other rom maintainers can cook some other roms up. Tw based roms suck. But better than stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I wouldn't say TouchWiz based Rom suck, they just aren't stock Android. I like both but TouchWiz can pretty much do the heavy lifting of android plus the added features Samsung gives it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] cbutters:
I know how you feel, but you will never be satisfied in life with anything at this rate... Slow down, there is nothing worth upgrading to over the Note5 anytime in the near future. Just use and learn the features of the phone. I fell into a rut for several years of always tweaking, optimizing, flashing roms nonstop and sidegrading devices constantly and I finally realized I had spent 90% of the time on my phone, PC, laptops, etc.. just tweaking and configuring them for "ultimate" performance and only 10% of the time actually using the devices. Often times reliability was an issue because I constantly had to reconfigure my apps and programs and I just never had what I needed when I needed it because I had just installed some ROM the night before.. I've learned to cut back and just simply use the phone more to do real things. I'll still tweak a new device to my liking, but err on the side of stability instead of every untested tweak in the book, and once it is setup and working well, I just learn to not touch it until the next device limiting myself to once a year upgrades.

Ain't nobody got time for that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Raul69.atl:
I get bored quick too but, I just got the note 5 so, I'll hold it at least till January. And then jump on something new. Coming from iPhone 6 BTW
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Karakoram2:
Not bored with mine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] sweets55:
S6 Edge Plus is similar to the Note 5 - the pen. I had a S6 Edge and liked it but had a Jump to use so got a iPhone 6S for something different since I had the Note 4 before the S6 Edge. I figured the regular 6S would be to small which it was. The plus was on back order so I got the Note 5. I would have got the Nexus 6p if Tmobile carried it. I've never owned a Nexus phone. I like the Note 5 though just not a lot different then s6. I try and switch manufacturers so I don't get bored as quick.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] CB620:
Flash a rom, do some mods, download some apps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] guaneet:
Install xposed and experiment lol. That's what I do when I get bored

Install wanam and the limits are almost endless
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] farfromovin:
This is just my opinion but here me out. I had all the flagship devices the last 3 years or so. Huge addiction, bought all the cool accesories, flashed the latest roms daily, always messing with my phone to "fix it". Had an iPhone 6+ most of last year and while it was alright cause for the most part it just worked, I missed android so when the Note5 came out I picked it up. Come to find out rooting breaks Samsung Pay forever, and here I am with a stock Note5 and content. It's fast, amazing display, quick charging wired and wirelessly, with a great camera. When I find myself bored I install a couple different launchers and tweak some icon packs to help curb the addiction. That's just me though. I'm quite content with a non-rooted Note5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Only phone I've almost regretted rooting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] farfromovin:
Exactly. I'd root in a second if it weren't for Samsung Pay which my credit union is adding soon.

Honestly though, OEM firmware is running great on the tmobile note 5. Only thing I really miss is adblock. There are alternatives, but nothing as good.

Am I bored with my phone ... what a weird question when you think about it.

Are you bored with your vacuum cleaner screwdriver as well ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Do you stare at those items between 3 and 6 hours a day? Because you might get bored of them, but why would you because they are not android smart phones. What a weird analogy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] tommason1968:
Being bored of a phone is funny to me. I get bored with something that I don't put down. Try going outside (with your phone in your pocket), interact with another person (not on the Internet). There are so many things to do in life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] luckylui:
Only thing that blows on this phone is that Knox bs.

Lack of CM.. Due to Exynos.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] DAGr8:
Lol a joke not an analogy but for the record I don't stare at my phone(that would be weird wouldn't it ;p ) I do play games on it and regardless of the model it's still the same game
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] ekerbuddyeker:
I get this thread. I really do. I get device boredom quickly too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Part of it is because we are as android enthusiasts very tied to whats happening in the market.. We now always have our eyes on the grass on the other side of the fence so it gets tempting. It's been a while since I enjoyed a device as much I do this one so I have to keep brushing off that smart phone demon on my shoulder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] SystemErrorOne:
I agree with butters, sometimes its just good to leave the phone alone (stock) but for some people its not.

FYI not all wanam tweaks work only some. So just gotta find out which ones do. Ill probably return my note 5 and get a more dev friendly device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
The Note 5 isn't Dev friendly? Wtf?! Lol. Go scratch your itch!!! :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] RidinNerdy:
In other words no cm13... there can be a billion tw roms but no rom will be as fast as aosp roms.. tw roms can only be so different from each other their basically all the same.. the only thing that changes is more or less bloat and underclocked or overclocked which takes toll on battery... aosp is the only way but since there isn't any there's basically no development.....

Thanks and bye bye [emoji6] and your welcome to the OP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
AOSP of any kind on a note device is a waste of time especially if you can't utilize all the SPen features which as we all know there are no good features for the note on aosp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] anglerstock:
Pretty boring device. I don't blame you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Lol its not dev friendly because there is no aosp? Lol how do you quantify that? That sounds like one of those nexus elitist comments.

The same people running around touting their nexus devices don't need high-end hardware because "it's a Dev phone" then wonder why all their favorite devs get bored and move on to other devices.

You know what device is boring, my Nexus 7 is boring, please tell me what that device does that my Note 5 cant?

Here let me give you your one dog in the fight. Updates.. shall I start the list of things my Note 5 does that my Nexus 7 doesn't?

Lol TIL a Dev friendly phone is one you can flash aosp Roms on, because there is a difference between flashing regurgitated aosp and flashing regurgitated TW roms...

When will these silly devs learn.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] hello00:
stock vanilla is more boring..since it is stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] RidinNerdy:
You can customize size shape of icons, bars layout on aosp and when u use themes on touchjizz not only does it slow down... theme also uses battery.. why would I want that? So urrutia basically getting the liberty of customizing but it takes a toll on performance and battery... so why would I want that? Why? I ask
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] robogoflow:
Get a nexus if you want alot of roms. Honestly you have a fun phone because it comes with a pen. Two curved edges that have two features is pretty boring. Someone suggested a flip phone but I suggest the new blackberry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
Please stop trolling. My note 5 does not slow when themes are applied. Really? Themes use battery? Really? Really? REALLY DUDE?

Hey my phone is on and it uses battery, so why would I want to do that?! Stupid screen is using up my dang battery!

Please stop trolling. Sell your Note 5 to a dev please, it'll get better use.

I'm not usually like this but I hate blatant ignorance without any form of facts. You're complaining about no aosp yet all the aosp devices can only run aosp roms. Your point is mute.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] hello00:
you can do that in touchwiz but you sound clueless so im done here

Same as tw to tw...Right go flash CM and then spend a day trying to find a camera that works and doesnt fc in every app you try to take a selfie in...I run cm on 2 of my s3s and it doesn't even compare to N5s TW...Its about as far in left field as you are

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] sshafranko:
Im just giving you an example i ran cm on a lot of my phones and always had some kind of bug...TW came a long way on the N5 and if it keeps going this way CM will only be used on old phones that dont get updates anymore like the S3...Look at 1+..CM efed that up too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] RidinNerdy:
Im not taking any credit away from tw on the note 5 I'm just saying how beautiful would it be to have a google play edition, i think we can both agree on how amazing that would be..a dream.. but yeah touch Wiz has come a long way.. ill get it 2 more years till it kicks into its prime...but i think by then the hardware will be strong enough to make it feel like aosp/cm/google rom[emoji5]
