sxtester,

T-Mobile does support VoLTE. My parents' T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z1s phones both do NOT have VoLTE on them, yet they both stay in 4G during calls, not 3G. (And they came out January 2014.) So it still doesn't make any sense to me. Yeah, they're locked phones with T-Mobile, but so what? Even back when I had Verizon and I didn't have a VoLTE-capable phone, it still stayed in 4G. So what gives??

augie,

Yeah I know I'd lose the sensor, but then I've been told there's something called Flashtool where you could get the software back onto the phone. Again, I'm wondering if the US firmware will somehow keep the phone in 4G (aka NORMAL use in my area lol) during calls. Yeah you're saying you could live with the 4G signal, but I'm saying mine goes down to 3G in an area where with any other phone I'd get 4G easily. Not understanding that.

MGS,

Yeah exactly, I'd flash Flashtool or whatever it's called and get the sensor software back on the phone. But WILL the US firmware resolve this 3G BS issue??

Hi Rockstar

Thinking of getting a new phone. My Z5 antennas are not as good as my Z3 was. We go boating on Georgian Bay and when anchored in out of the way places, my wife's 5se gets better reception than my Z5. What really pisses me off is my new carrier Rogers, offers an extended coverage in poor signal areas by giving you free roaming on competitive carriers and confirming with a text message. The 5se gets the message and roaming switch and my Z5 doesn't. Time to get a new phone.

I've been checking reviews and user comments for the S7 and the X performance. How is your XP working for you?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
hey h20,

How u been?

That sux about the reception issue your reception. I have T-Mobile, and yeah just got the int'l dual-sim XP. I LOVE it. Only thing is during calls it switches back & forth b/t 3G & H+ (aka 3.5G lol), which I don't like or understand since other phones don't do that. I guess it's b/c it's int'l or NOT from T-Mobile that this happens. But still the quality is great and I LOVE the phone! Battery life is pretty good but not as great as my old Z3. See my review on here about dealing with that.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] h2oflyer:
The Z3 was Sony's best. I switched up to the Z5 because I wanted waterproof USB charging port and Fingerprint sensor. From what I've been reading, the Xperformance has better signal reception, probably from better antenna placement. Looks like I'm switching up again, this time for a brighter screen outdoors and hopefully better signal reception. I need a really bright screen in sunlight as I sometimes use my phone as a back up chart plotter.

My other choice was the S7, but I heard too many things wrong even though it's supposed to be the best. I understand you hate your S7. How does the screen brightness of the Xperformance compare to the S7?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
h20,

I think you're right on the Z3. My XP might have the better camera and arguably looks, but in terms of battery life, screen size (5.2" to me is perfect where 5.0" is great too but not AS good), and screen brightness (though XPs is fine I guess), the Z3 is the winner. Yeah the XP has the fingerprint sensor too which I use all the time now.

Yeah compared to the Z5, the XP is most definitely a winner, though again the Z5 might still have the better battery. But yeah, for screen brightness, color accuracy, and camera........the XP is the winner, as displayed here (X & XP have same camera and screen, FYI). I still feel again that the Z3's screen was brighter, but yeah the XP's will def outdo the Z5's.

The screen brightness of the XP is maybe SLIGHTLY brighter than the S7's, though I was hoping it would be more than that. But the thing is, because it's more color accurate than the S7 as well, I feel like what's ON the screen is a little easier to see or make out BECAUSE of that stronger color accuracy, if that makes any sense. lol But yeah, the S7 was great overall esp with camera (I think XP's is better though, making it the first time an Xperia phone beat out a Samsung one lol), but the audio issues (speaker and with headphones via MicroUSB port), color/brightness issues, and the constant lag of TouchWiz made it a less than pleasing experience. I'd also tried out the HTC 10 for a few days, but it too just couldn't compare to the Xperia experience. Camera was more color accurate than the S7's but not as detailed. Didn't have water-resistance. Did have great sound and dual speakers, though they moved the bottom front-side one to the bottom, so phone looked like a Samsung phone. lol If Sony Xperia phones didn't exist, I'd prob have the 10? I dunno. Just happy I don't have to make that decision. lol

With regards to the XP's battery life, see my review here about getting the 360 Hibernation Master app (a MUST have for any Xperia owner) and QC 3.0 chargers to help deal with this. I just used Xperia Companion on my phone b/c I felt it had a few issues like Contacts app was acting weird and Wi-Fi wasn't always staying connected, so I'm hoping it will be fine now.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] h2oflyer:
Once I found out that Sony has improved signal reception on the Xperformance, I've crossed the S7 off my list. My last Samsung was the S2 and I really didn't want to revisit them.

The Z3 screen brightness was 800+nits, while the X series is just over 600 and from the different reviews is brighter and cleared than my z5.

I'm going for it, and will test reception and brightness by taking the 5se and my Z5 side be side with the XP in sunlight and marginal coverage areas. I'll take advantage of buyer's remorse policy. My carrier, Rogers, won't have the XP till mid july, but the other major carrier, Bell, will have it this Thursday and I'll make a nuisance of myself fondling and drooling over the display models.

BTW, I'm using 360 hibernation and it definately works as I show sleep current down around 12 ma when I wake up the phone. Don't use Adguard anymore as it was a battery hog on VPN. Switched to Block This which uses zero battery. Keep us updated on your XP.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
h20,

I see. Well I didn't know about the improvement in signal performance until you told me, so that's a plus! lol Yeah I had the S5 for like FOUR days and couldn't stand it so got the M8. lol Samsung's def improved since then (i.e. ditching the plastic phones lol, the Settings menu is SLIGHTLY less confusing now but not as simple as Sony and HTC's, etc), but still the issues I mentioned were hard to ignore, ESP the audio ones for me since I now spend good money on Hi-Res music and don't appreciate the music "skipping" like every few minutes via MicroUSB listening with headphones.

Yeah, if u saw that video I believe I sent u, then you know for sure it will be brighter. But man, 800+ nits...........why couldn't they just maintain that? The newer phone should never be "lesser" than the older phone. The battery on the XP should be 3200 mAh like the Z3. 2700?? I mean what idiot comes up with this stuff? Oh the 820 is more power-efficient so lower the battery? NO Sony Mobile, leave it alone, and then brag about how great it is. Making the phone thinner is not more important than battery life. I swear, if I was a billionaire, I'd BUY Sony Mobile and on my life within 2-3 years, I'd make the Xperia phones so loved and sought after, ppl would be like i-who?! Sam-what?! lol

Haha nice! Glad to hear you will be getting it that soon (and this month)! I bought this case for mine. First one I got was too soft. This one's a lil better. Spigen and Rearth (my top 2 faves) didn't make a case for the XP (p*ssies lol), but this one most certainly does the deed.

Nice! Yeah man........ 360 is the best! Leave SM off. They brought it back and so I guess it's been fixed, but even if it is, 360 is still better. Glad you like it! And yeah, look into the 2 chargers I mentioned.

I used XC to reinstall the software on my XP last night. It SEEMS a bit better now, but Contacts app though STILL doesn't work right. When I tap on the pic of a contact to edit it, I get the stupid "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" message. Not sure what I should do........ just ignore it and use the more stable Contacts + app I just got in its place, or is this an indication that I may need to replace the phone itself? Man I have the worst luck with phones. lol SM wreaked HAVOC on me while I had my Z3. It wasn't until I found the 360 app much later that the day was saved (after a factory reset of course to get rid of SM's nasty lurking bugginess lol). Now this. What do u think?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] h2oflyer:
I don't think you have a problem with your phone. Maybe something as simple as international model and contacts app installed on the phone and co-ordinating with your carrier.

I'm thinking the 2700 mah battery has larger volume than the 2900 battery in my Z5 as the XP is thicker. I've been reading where they are changing the lithium ion batterys to less dense chemistry, which is better for quick charging and Battery longevity.

What is your screen on time at a certain battery percentage?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
h20,

I doubt it has anything to do with my carrier. Maybe I am jumping the gun on considering a return for an exchange? I dunno. lol I will call T-Mo though to see if they can do anything about making it 4G for me instead 3G/H+ during a call. But I doubt they can.

Hmm ok. But I've read that the Z5's battery life was still better than the XPs. I dunno. The QNovo UCH10 QC 2.0 charger they sent me (which should've been the UCH12 QC 3.0 charger lol) is the int'l model, which NGP (Amazon seller I bought mine from) included a U.S. adapter. Problem is, the adapter's prongs are a bit thin, so while it stays in the wall outlet fine, even the slightest tug can pull it out. Since I don't want to see my home burned down lol, I'm gonna chuck both and just use the QC 3.0 chargers I mentioned. Whatever....... I don't want to keep my phone more than 2 years anyway. I guess it was nice that Sony at least included a QC 2.0 charger instead of going cheap like they kinda did with the RAM and battery size lol (although for a 3GBs phone, it still moves faster than my S7, at least for "app-jumping", not sure on downloading).

I think the answer you want from me on that question is that the battery drops 1% approx every 10-12 minutes when just leaving screen on and not doing anything else on the phone.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] h2oflyer:
I think myself and others are looking for SOT, which shows up under battery usage in settings. Tapping on screen % will show screen on time and mah consumed. This is the figure most reviewers quote.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] RockStar2005:
Ok I THINK you mean this (see attached).

Not sure how else I can help report this. But lemme know if you do. The amount reported there seems a bit low b/c I saw elsewhere on here that the XP was rated as having 61 hours. I dunno. lol The other phones don't have a camera like this though! Even the S7's camera is very close but from what I've noticed in the pics it takes it tends to 1) Not be the most color accurate every time and 2) Somewhat over-saturate certain colors. The XP is always extremely color accurate and doesn't over-saturate s*it. lol If anything, the fact that it doesn't over-saturate certain colors makes them look more natural and therefore more clear to view.
[Sony Xperia X Performance Guides, News, & Discussi] h2oflyer:
Comparing the XP battery time to the Z3 compact is like apples and oranges. That phone was one of the best for battery and doesn't have the power hungry features of newer phones.

SOT is a good indication of how the phone is consuming power, depending on how it's used.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kemby13:
I own a G4 and no one can deny it's one of the best camera phones on the market. Even though i've made some great photos with it, must say that i'm very impressed with the S7 so far. I would say that S7 is probbably the best camera phone at the moment. Only thing that bothers me a bit is the 4:3 ratio... Anyway, we should all wait for some realworld tests between S7, G5, Mi5, Xperia X and others with finalized software...

it's ok but idk if that big upgrade over S6, probably is. this photos does not do much justice, you can get amazing photos from the Note 5 in low light SPECIALLY with tripod, what s7 can do with tripod? can't wait to find out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Prizm4:
I'm pretty sure this is the compromise of the drop to 12mp. Instead of keeping 16mp @ 16:9, they cropped to 4:3 and kept the vertical resolution. I'm just relieved it's not 12mp AND 16:9, I don't think the image would be as good.

According to the camera options on the Samsung S6 Edge Plus, these are the two highest resolutions:

16m (16:9) 5312x2988

12m (4:3) 3984x2988

I have a feeling Samsung just dropped the top option for the S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bastage:
With as good as the G4 camera I have been in love with since I got the phone I am really really excited to get the s7 which gets me back the small size I left in favor of the g4's camera (only changed from my Nexus 5 to the g4 because of the camera).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozaghloul:
So what resolution are the 16:9 photos on the S7?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Toss3:
9.1 MP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozaghloul:
Now that's very disappointing. I prefer to shoot in 16:9 since I only ever view my photos on 16:9 screens (TV, tablet, phone, computer). I'd like to see a comparison of a 16:9 s6 shot vs 16:9 s7 shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Canard caché:
