OK so charging with 2 pin Google charger into a UK adapter and no fast charger notification to be seen in fact it's gone down 1% whilst I am writing ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:
Just ordered a UK official charger from Google. Let's see what happens.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MATTHEWLONG:
It should say it on the lock screen.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azarin:
The fast charge notification appears on the lock screen. Just above the finger print icon at the bottom it should either say 'Charging' for standard charging (ie when using an A to C cable), or 'Charging rapidly' for fast charging using a USB C charger and cable.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:
Thank you. I just found it. Lol. Never mind a spare charger is always handy :)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:

Hi guys, not sure how many people this will help but hopefully it will help a few.

I have a Harmony Smart Control which I used as my universal remote, it connects to the NP fine but I had a problem that whenever I tried to search for something in a Google app using the remote the keyboard would disappear. Did a search and Logitech said this was a limitation of the NP as the harmony acts as a bluetooth keyboard. Like I said don't know how many people this will help, but I've managed to get around it.

You need to be rooted and have Xposed installed, a mouse is required for the initial setup too.

Once you have Xposed install an app from the repo called Xposed Additions.

In the app scroll down and select buttons, then add new key. Click Allow External Devices and choose them all.

Hit the OK button on the Harmony remote (or whatever the equivalent is on which ever remote you're using) and the app will pick it up, then you need to click ok with your mouse to save the key.

Then select the key you just saved, it should be called Enter, the click Add new condition and choose screen on.

Then click the condition, choose the click option and find DPad Center.

Now the button will act as the official remotes select button rather than and enter button and you can use it in the google keyboard.

You can also use it to remap other buttons as well to add menu functions etc.

The app also offers lost of customisations such as long presses of buttons amongst other things so it's definitely worth checking out even if you don't need to fix any buttons!

Hope this helps someone!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARTAQaf:
my Gnote 3 is for my business and everything else....it's my only device. being self-employed, i NEED to be able to make and take sales/service calls. sometimes, like today, i will receive a call and no sound comes through or goes out. i then call them back and same thing, UNLESS, i turn on the speaker phone. then i hear everything and they can hear me. as a last resort, i've backed everything up to the "CM Backup" app in the Playstore and i'm ready to take this un-rooted phone back to it's stock state.

are there any other things i can try before going back to stock? i've installed CCleaner and run that, just in case....but it hasn't changed anything.

thanks for ANY ideas :D

Hi,

I have the latest version of gear manager, but when I try to connect to my Gear 2 Neo from my V10, it shows on my phone that it's connecting, but not the watch. Then it stays like that. It shows (on the watch) that the watch isn't actually trying to connect, as the screen still tells me to find the watch on my phone. I've found it, tried to connect, but the watch is unresponsive. Any help or fix is GLADLY accepted.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabuk1:
Is your G2N running tizen? If so, then it won't connect unless you flash android wear on it. I have the same watch and that's what I had to do. Its super easy though and works great. The only things that don't work are watch audio and taking calls on the watch.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emtownsend:

No need to go through all the command prompts and ADB, etc... Here is all you will need (YouTube video) with the files needed referenced in the body. If Odin can talk to your watch, then you are golden... This is what I did and it was very fast and I didn't have to run through all the commands, etc.. It is self rooted and runs very well.

Don't forget to install AndroidWear and pair from it, not from the BT panel directly.

Is this the absolute only way to do it? There's still no way to connect without changing the watch software? *sigh*

Someone gave my husband a gear 2 neo and he already has a garmin smart watch so I was going to use it with my V-10. Why does Samsung lie and say I can install this gear app and connect when I can't? Stupid Samsung. Or perhaps, stupid LG.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubart:
Neither Samsung nor LG ever said you could connect your V10 to Gear 2 Neo.

The only Samsung watch that CAN pair with non Samsung phones (without any hacks) is Gear S2.

I realized this after a whole lot of Google time. I wasn't very familiar with how many gears were out there. I got mixed up between the gear s and the gear neo and the 2 and the everything else!

Hi guys. I am planning to buy a new smartphone and Xperia Z5 is one of my choices. Is it worth my money? What are your feedbacks? Thanks! :)

NOTE: Kindly answer the poll above. Thanks! :)
[Xperia Z5 General] D4rk_nVidia:
I would say yes.

Coming from an Galaxy S6 and the Z5 is the best smartphone for me this year.

-No overheating

-good battery life

-Clean ui

- a very nice design

- SD slot

[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
Thanks for your feedback! Does your battery last an entire day with moderate use? I am not really a heavy gamer. I just usually surf the internet and some social media apps.

By the way, kindly answer the poll above. Thank you so much! :)
[Xperia Z5 General] beefy143:
I agree with dark nvidia also in my testing on a rooted z5 I get 8-9 hours on constant screen on time from 100%-0% is 8H of HD movie content / gaming to have to charge my device for 2h for 100% to start all over again I would say I'm a very heavy user and I have for the the first time since my Nokia 23210 I only have to charge this thing once a day! I bet an average user could get away with even more!
[Xperia Z5 General] oniwanbanshu:
8h screen on time that's pretty dope

Read that battery life was just average

Envoyé de mon Nexus 6P en utilisant Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
With moderate use (emails, playing music [yay mSD cards!!!], and some video streaming), I usually get close to two full days out of a charge on my Z5. If I unplug at 8:00 am, on a normal day I'm at between 48-54% by midnight.
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
By the way, does any body experience that your Z5 rear glass cracked even without falling? I read some comments about it and I am also kinda worried it might happen.

[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Same to you. Still got 6.5 hours in Boston.

My opinion, Z5 definitely worth the investment.
[Xperia Z5 General] joe_dude:
Simply put, it can do everything the other phones can, with the addition of having the most advanced video camera ever. It's too bad the reviews just glossed over this important feature. Sigh. If one is willing to pay $600+ for a Samsung or Apple, why not get one that can actually take good video as well?

:D
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Did you ever tried an iPhone?
[Xperia Z5 General] joe_dude:
Nope, just saw the reviews. Z5's closed-loop actuator is simply way better than OIS for video. For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxSHVca3MFM

DXOMark said the Z5 is the only phone with good video stabilization.
[Xperia Z5 General] Kiwito22:
is this a joke? 8 hours sot? best phone ever? what?

Im happy with my phone and its worth the money IMO but this thread is full of misinformation. Coming from a note 4 the only thing i miss is the bigger screen.
[Xperia Z5 General] jackq:
I've got my Z5 from october when I renew contract with operator, so cost me much less than normal. But if i had to buy Z5 for the normal price I wouldn't buy it at all ATM. For me this phone isn't worth such of money. Better wait till prices goes down or buy Z3. Thats my opinion.
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
What misinformation are you referring to?
[Xperia Z5 General] D4rk_nVidia:
You should not think that 8 hour SOT is normal :D

I get like 4 hours or maybe 5 but not more. In 24 Hours

With my S6 it's 3 hours SOT in 12 hours.

So the Z5 battery is much better

[Xperia Z5 General] ianrobbie:
Having upgraded through most of the Xperia range and I have to say, the Z5 is the best yet. Good (not great) battery life, lovely screen and a fast, almost AOSP-style OS. Add to that decent camera, accurate fingerprint scanner, SD slot and no more flappy covers for the micro-USB slot and I think we have a winner.

Just needs more development.
[Xperia Z5 General] Kiwito22:
8 hours sot is pretty much bull**** and im sorry but it doesnt have the best camera... far from it
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
Back to reality..

I am still deciding whether to keep or not this phone, I am badly needing a new one since my trusty HTC one charge is not enough to run half a day at my current needs.

So I thought I try the z5, as others mentioned like the clean ui, camera and dedicated shutter button, fingerprint reader placement, quick charge, fast reacting as expected and many others. What's less to like is camera's low light capability and the fact that the camera app reacts way slowlier than my 3yo phone. Coming to battery life, I was expecting the advertised 5h sot. Surely, only a week in, I have even fully cold charged it aka recalibrating the battery if a phone this new ever needed it.

These are screenshots I just took a few moments ago. I was using lately lux for controlling brightness, usually below the 50% mark.

[Xperia Z5 General] D4rk_nVidia:
In my opinion the battery life is better if you don't play with it.

Maybe there is something wrong with your phone.

Don't calibrate, or change anything in system. Just use it.

Im at 3:30 hour SOT since the last 17 hours. GPS on high accuracy.

Facebook had the highest usage with 27%.

I think the batter life is very good if I delete Facebook :)

Your phone was awake nearly the entire time. That's an issue with an app. Screen on time is totally dependant on if some other app is killing your battery, which is what seems to be your issue. What used the majority of your battery besides the screen?

mark_q07,

Sony z5 pricing in Canada is awesome compare other high end smartphones pricing. It exclusive to Bell right now but rumor that ending soon.
[Xperia Z5 General] TheJah:
I love my z5 premium dual, but for the price I say it's not really worth it. You can get a v10 and still be happy. For me I love Sony and can't deal with regular basic ui of other phones. I'm happy with my purchase because I had the money to spend but if you don't I say go with something cheaper. Depending on your preferences of course, like expandable memory, ui design, or screen size. But good luck.
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
I somehow agree that the price is kinda expensive. That's why my plans are to buy Xperia Z5 from grey market (still authentic and brand new; the only difference is that it is service warranty only so I have to be really careful w/ it) and to buy it around March 2016. Haha. Well, I'm not that much in a hurry to buy a new smartphone. Thanks for your opinion by the way! :)
[Xperia Z5 General] Sicmix01:
It is worth the money. I came from a note 4 and this wipes the floor with it in terms of performance and battery life
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
I think the Z5 is worth the money... but if you want a phone with AMAZING battery life, you're probably better off going with the Z3. However, the battery life on this phone is still good and better than average. Along with an amazing camera and sleek design, I think it's well worth the money. Here has been my SOT with moderate use:
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
Well, SoT not bad, though I hope the battery capacity of Z5 is just like the one in Z3 or Z2. But then, I think that I'll just use a powerbank as a back up. After all, I am really after Z5's camera quality. :)
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
It's not bad at all. It's just that many people that were used to Sony were expecting more. The Z3 easily got 6 hours SOT when the Z5 will be lucky to reach 5.
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
Wow. That's nice to learn since Note 4 is also in my choices. Looks like Z5 will be the one that I'll buy this 2016. Thanks for your comment!
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
Yeah, I guess you're right. I hope marshmallow makes Z5's battery lasts much longer. Then this phone will be even more spectacular! Haha.

QUESTION

: What are your feedbacks about Z5's front and back camera? Do you experience any color tints, blurs, or whatsoever?
[Xperia Z5 General] csabyUK:
Is it worth the money? not really...

I had the Z, Z1, Z2, and now the Z5. it is a step up from Z2 but I'm overall disappointed.

bad cameras (both front and back) finicky power button (remains locked in at times) small notification led and lower battery capacity (I hate stepping down the specs!!!)

why Sony? :( :rolleyes:

if my z2 wouldn't have the speakers and mikes issue, it would be the best phone ever!(still have it but the bottom speaker is busted). I am fan Sony, but I voted no for Z5. oh and if you ask me about z5p, it would be a doubleNO....
[Xperia Z5 General] tutchthesky7:
Since you're on XDA, I'm going to assume you're at least a little bit of a tinkerer..... So if you have ANY plans on rooting / ROM / Modding your phone, kiss that goodbye with the Z5... I'd trade mine for any other phone with equiv specs in a heartbeat.... Can't believe I spent $750 after tax for a phone I can't even root without "destorying the cameras DRM's" ... Not that the camera is AT ALL even comparable to top phones camera... Even the iPhone..... Which was a HUGE factor in me buying the phone... So if you want customization, and a good camera , Z5 is NOT for you... If you just want a nice physical phone, that's the best I'd say it has going for it... It looks nice, feels nice, UI is nice....But is is an iPhones :( regret not buying a 6s now :( ( would have been my first IOS device I have purchased new )
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
Really? Too bad. Maybe, in the next few months the developers of Z5 will figure something out.
[Xperia Z5 General] mark_q07:
I agree w/ the battery part; it is indeed downgraded if you're coming from Z2. But the camera part, I read comments from users who had Z2 and upgraded to Z5, and all they have is praise for the front and rear camera of Z5.

If you don't want to pay the price for a z5 getbthe z3,not the z3+ either.

The z3 in my opinion has a better battery than the z5. I hope this changes with M.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

I agree with removing Facebook, I took Facebook and messenger off the Z 5, and I use my z3 tablet compact for Facebook and messenger now. I definitely noticed a battery life increased when I took those apps off the phone
[Xperia Z5 General] Jonathan-H:
I would say at first I was severely let down but after having the phone a week, i'm surprisingly being won over.

The speakers let me down at first, so I swapped the phone, and they are now great.

Next the cameras disappointed me, but after a recent trip to the pub, the pictures taken came out great, better than LG G4 which has an excellent camera especially in low light, so I am convinced with manual controls in android 6 this camera will really shine.

As for heat, this phone can get extremely hot, extremely, the chip in here is not fixed, but most of the time it's okay.

As for battery life, i'm sitting on 3 hrs SOT with 46% left, 17 hours since fully charged, so after an hour of netflix and all the usual Whatsapp, Facebook, Gmail, calls and texts. I'd say that's pretty good.

Build quality is pretty poor though, the sides move when you press them in and there's slight gaps around the frame where it's not glued together very well, minor but it's there. It wouldn't survive a dunk, everything is glued together and not very well at that. I'd say the screen would probably come off like my Z3 if submerged for too long as the glue would fail.

Definitely worth the money though. (Didn't think i'd say that! )
[Xperia Z5 General] ramiki:
Hppy new year. I think it worth
[Xperia Z5 General] Oemenia:
As a Z5 owner, I'd have to say no. Its a good phone, but it's just not on par with the S6s.

+ Good screen, large display (S6 is LED and has a higher PPI despite Sony's expertise in this area)

+ Looks nice (though not for everyone)

+ Powerful, especially GPU

+ Great touch sensor

+ Expandable memory (the reason I got it...)

+ Great camera (again S6 beats it)

But...

- Poor battery on brightness higher than '50%' (a paltry 90 nits)

- Even then battery runs down quickly on intensive tasks much faster than S6

- No quick charge

- Throttling is a major issue despite power (Yet again the S6 puts in much more impressive CPU numbers despite the same hardware)

- Large embezzle but no dedicate buttons? - Terrible waste of screen space

- Camera nowhere near as good as advertised

Overall very disappointed since its my first new phone in four years. The S6 Edge is half a year older and has it beat in every category, best of all its cheaper too.
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
1) The battery lasts longer than a S6. That's a fact.

2) Yes, the CPU doesn't score as high as the S6, but the overall experience is fast enough without any lag. If you're spec hungry then you should've done looked at the benchmarks before you bought this device. And the S6 doesn't have the same hardware...

3) It does have quick charging.

4) Some people don't like physical buttons, but I guess that's your own opinion.

5) The camera is as good as advertised. Some people say it's better than the S6, some people say it's not. If you learn how to use the manual camera app in the right circumstance you can take amazing photos with this device.
[Xperia Z5 General] Oemenia:
Firstly I have to correct you on the physical buttons bit, the S6 uses the embezzle space for buttons but the Z5 instead uses up screen space. So not only do you lose screen space but you wont always have access to them.

The thing is I would forgive all those issues had the battery been not so poor. Clink the link below, the Z5 scores some wins but it comes at a major cost since its at 90 nits compared to 200 on the S6. I'd be glad if you can prove me wrong since I would be less anxious about the battery but as it is the S6 has it beat.
