Is it as fast as this XZ demo?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txSzBCx4B_Q

If you look carefully there's a slight lag still but it is really fast.

Is there predictive hybrid autofocus like the X series?
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] furkandeger:
Object tracking works, yes. Edit: Gotta say though, it's not like predictive auto-focus. It just seems to be object tracking. Edit2: Just checked it. Object tracking continuously keeps the object in focus, however when you hit the shutter button, it focuses again which kinda destroys the whole purpose.

It isn't as fast as XZ though. But still much faster than before. It's actually the focusing that takes time, not capturing or saving. You can spam the shutter button and it will take photos really quick.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] FYLin21:
Well that's a bit disappointing that it refocuses but the X series still had that problem.

Did you try using the physical camera button and half-pressing to focus first? The on-screen shutter button focuses when you press it and captures the image only when you let go of it.

What about third-party apps like Open Camera, Manual Camera and Camera FV-5? On Marshmallow it's really bad because the autofocus hunts a long time and sometimes can't even save the photo...
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] FYLin21:
just got Nougat and it seems to be only slightly faster. For the most part it is just the view feed resumes faster. Disappointed. I tried the XZ and it has NO shutter lag (as long as I half-press the camera button).

I've tried 20MP and 8MP with same result. It just seems now that Superior Auto is just as fast as 8MP Sports mode.

Video recording starts a bit faster but still about half a second. Stuttering is really bad now but maybe because I just updated and the phone is still warm.

Not sure if doing a factory reset would improve it.

EDIT: another annoyance - the screen recorder app does not recognize when the camera app is rotated to landscape mode and therefore still records the video as "portrait" orientation despite being set to landscape!
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] FYLin21:
Little/no change on Android 7.1.1. Still a lack of manual options. Also really annoyed that since 7.0 you can no longer focus on a point using touch capture - it just focuses on the center of the image if you do that.

with MM update,, I can get 1% to full about 2hrs, compared before in LP which I can only charge it in 2hrs and 20mins.. Im using Z5 Dual (E6683) btw and using a tronsmart 18w QC 2 fast charger (which isnt properly utilized by Z5)
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Toast-Brot:
Edit:

With QuickCharge 2.0 from 30% - 100% in 1 :40 Hours and 2,2A

can i charge my sony z5 premium with quick charge 3.0 charger ?

instead of quick charge 2.0 charger is that okay and safe ?

the charger will working in QC2.0 mode only. there's no need to be worried.

New aukey pa-u28, 45 mins of charge, from depleted, no overheat at all on Z5
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] NdR991:
Wow only 45min from 0% to 100%?

If yes i'll buy it..

Inviato dal mio E6653 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] ricodredd:
? His post clearly states 45 minutes from depleted to 54%, not full. Not impressive at all.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] indianmeister:
When phone is cold it gaves me up to 60% from depleted in 45 mins, maybe its not impressive as you said, but when u r in a hurry just plug it for 10 mins and gives you enough battery to get a couple of hours more, also is 60% against 40 with normal charger so is a must for a couple of bucks
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] ScarabJsy:
My Quick Charge 2.0 / 3.0 plug says 'Charging rapidly' when used with my Z3 Tablet Compact, but does nothing fancy with my Z5. Fail
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] FYLin21:
It is most reliable to measure from 0 to 90%, because from 90-100 it slows down significantly.

I once got from 2-72% in 68 minutes with the UCH10, so that's about 1% per minute. Not bad, way better than my previous HTC Butterfly s which took nearly 4 hours to charge is 3200mAh battery.

The voltage does increase so it is supporting QC 2.0 but not to its fullest potential - someone else here indicated that the Z5 doesn't use step-charging. Perhaps Sony restricted quick charging to minimize overheating.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] ricodredd:
The non-Quick Charge UCH20 performs pretty much the same, certainly within 10% charge rate on the Z5. I have another QC 2.0 charger that performs the same too.

Z5 just doesn't support quick charge.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] TheTecXpert:
Hey Guys, I saw this thread and just thought i'd share my knowledge on the Xperia Z5 (E6653).

Im sure most of you are already familiar with what i might say in my post. if that is the case.. then you are free to disregard and ignore this post :D.

1. Quick Charge 3.0 is not supported on this device.. And to be honest, you don't even need it.. "Why is that??" you may ask.. Here is the simple answer..

Using a 5v 2.1A USB Charging Adapter and a thick USB charging cable with a length of about 60cm (MAX) (shorter the better). Will charge your device fast enough... Believe me.. lol

2. Atleast once a week (Full charge your battery from a depleted state) - Dead battery, and while it is powered off.. Dont start charging it for only a few minutes and then turning it on.. LEAVE IT OFF (if you dont have any alarms set for the next morning etc)

3. Do NOT keep your device on charge while you're playing CPU and GPU intensive games.. IF your battery is at roughly 70% or Above.. UNPLUG the charger from your phone.. Or you will shorten the life span of your battery very quickly.. Because at 70% and Above charging speed slows down significantly to the point where if you're playing games your battery will keep discharging rather than charge because it's consuming more power than it can restore..

(Hence the damage to overall battery life span).

4. Last but not least.. Every so often.. If you're a power user (someone who always plays a shi*t load of games and has heaps of apps running in the background etc etc). Try to remember to Calibrate your battery every so often..

(Usually when you notice things like -----> Battery draining unusually faster than normal, Battery not holding charge as long as it use to, device heating up a little more than normal, charging isn't as fast or efficient anymore) etc..

Just a few things i thought i'd throw out there..

take care Ya'll..

Pretty sure I can get it to around 8 hours SOT atleast! But since I am very busy nowadays and my internship started today, it's gonna be a little hard
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] indianmeister:
Best for me is 4:48 as reported by Battery Monitor Widget, but mostly is 3D games so I think is pretty good
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] pilzj:
I have my Phone 3 hours off Power, Battery goes down to 60% and the main app draining power is the Display with 17% as per the battery consumption chart.

In the Details to the batteryconsumption of the display it says the display was on for 1:35, however I hardly turned it on.

That is the same since LP and even with MM I reset already 3 times. no change.

I would love the meet someone with that great performance. mine seems just broken :/
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Wylde007:
I get 5 hours on average from 100% without using Wi-Fi and on H+ and my average use is what's app, Instagram, mobile payment, snap chat ( eats a lot) and taking pictures. My brightness is at half with automatic turned on

[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] calvinerico:
Such a pity that the battery is not awesome maybe due to bloatwares
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] pilzj:
Actually I hope so. I am one step away from rooting my phone and hope that this might help, especially with greenify having root access.

The device is almost unusable anymore with this battery life. I factory reset once a week, don't even have many apps or do much with it but it still lasts just half a day.

After a factory reset the first 2-3 days are almost fine up to one day.

I dont even think 2 days are possible if I don't activate the whole time...

Xperia Z5 Tmobile USA

2.5HR SOT

Mobile radio likes to stay active throughout the day. Have tried many roms/ factory resets.

Hopefully next software update....feel like i've been saying that for years about various android phones...
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] sovanyio:
Similar here on T-mo USA

I wonder if the lack of proper tmous radio tuning leads the phone to drain on LTE... Have noticed more drain (phone doesn't seem to have doze lines anymore even though BBS shows doze..) after rooting/xposed. So much that I uninstalled xposed as a test.

Going to try dropping back to HSPA and see if its better.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] stealthj:
Not sure if that may attribute to it but i dont doubt it...

I did have the courage to flash one of those US roms, even though my FPS (fingerprint sensor :)) didin't work...

But eventually after a few days, battery drain came back....
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] sovanyio:
Hmmmm may be onto something here, right away I'm noticing that Yappy is not hanging on sending messages. What I think was happening for me was low LTE signal was causing Yappy to wake up every minute to restart itself. Not sure why Yappy wasn't showing in battery settings, but my phone seems to be connected now that I'm on a 'stable network'. Really wish we could get the tuning on tmous :/
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] KIMI_:
I'm getting average 7-9 hours SOT with my Xperia Z5 Dual E6683... btw is it normal for the GPS indicator at the battery usage page to show that it's constantly turned on throughout the whole day eventhough it's turned off?
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] sovanyio:
Aaaand nope, got the fast dormancy wakelocks and battery drained faster than before. Reflashing the stock system and wiping cache now to see if I can get doze lines again.

Edit: Battery is better but I think because of things I did after reflashing. Installed WLD since I have root now and noticed that google maps (and later android pay) were generating NLP wakelocks, so cleared data on google maps since I have location reporting off already and then denied location to android pay and it seems to be back to normal. If this is stable for a few days I may try Xposed again.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] mbeni007:
On average daily use with WiFi on and location enabled most of the time I will get 5 hours SOT. I have pushed it close to 6 with reducing my brightness to almost nothing and only using the phone for messaging. Several factors will affect SOT. For me getting group messages or picture messages drops battery life. Using Chrome also drops it.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] sovanyio:
Curious what your app list is?
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] mbeni007:
Are you asking the app usage in the day? Funny enough my battery life today was a definite miss but it got me through the workday and that's all I need.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] sovanyio:
Nah I meant like what apps do you have that are non-stock..

But looks like my phone is back to not dozing.. losing ~10% overnight, where I used to lose 3%. Looks like I'm getting the Mobile Radio Active bug displaying through google play services. Clearing caches of apps that appear to be causing it as I go...
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] pilzj:
I finally got down to root my phone.

Before I managed to last up to 6 hours battery (I'm not talking about SOT, just regular use) since MM update and no stamina.

I followed the guide to safe my DRM and root the phone: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-rooting-unlocking-bootloader-t3354307

The hilarious leap forward was by using the MOD for the SD810 from nreuge: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/themes-apps/mod-z5-endurance-tweaks-v1-tweaks-t3321841

Now I do have about 16-20 hours of battery life and I last a full day with moderate use, listening to MP3 via bluetooth, WhatsApp Stuff, and little Clash of Clans.

This is how I expected it to be.

The best part, the phone does NOT get HOT. I have to do really heavy stuff to even get it warm!

This saved my Z5, and I'm now really happy with it.

If somebody is concerned about performance, I did not recognize any performance issues since using this mod! I just stay on Heimdall tweak.

Have fun!
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Vladcyprus:
Is your guarantee still valid? Using custom ROM s invalidates the Sony guarantee
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] pilzj:
your voiding your warrante not by rooting the phone but by unlocking the bootloader. So warrante or garantee is gone, root or no root.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] rrdna:
But if you did a TA-Backup before, you can easily flash this back and therefore relock the bootloader and restore the original DRM-keys again.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] pilzj:
It's not about your phone. to unlock your bootloader you request a key from Sony. This voids your warranty because you agree to it to receive the code. Then you can use the key to unlock the bootloader, wheather or not you do truely unlock it your resented your warranty.

sorry
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] rrdna:
Nope, sorry. Agreeing on receiving the unlock code does NOT void your warranty. First, because there is written, that UNLOCKING the bootloader will void your warranty, and not RECEIVING the code.

Second, i could easily receive the unlock code by guessing an IMEI code from somebody else and then provide any random e-mail address, to get an unlock code. There is no verification, if this email address belongs to the owner or if not.

And third: What if you order an unlock code and then changed your mind?

Further, official information:

http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] pilzj:
Welll then youre good to go. I did print out the stuff and have it somewhere and explicitly seem to recall that I agreed on losing warranty. However it is in German, maybe it is written differently or I didn't read it well enough. I might be wrong but the unlockcode is calculated based on your IMEI, so please report back if everything worked like you wrote. The email address I think is not relevant, because its the IMEI that is linked to your phone and your warranty. But I'm quite currious on your report in the end

[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Anony58:
Well, on Android 5.1 my SOT was well over in the 4-6 hours margin

On MM I'm happy when I get 2,5-3 hours. I'm not even considering to upgrade to Nougat when i receive it as i'm afraid the already rubbish 3hrs of SOT would go down to a solid 1,5-2 hours. People running it only reported worse battery lives.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] klemen241:
idk who "people reported" are, but lots of people on mm get 6 hours of sot
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Anony58:
I actually find that hard to believe. If you go on XperiaBlog, Xperia forums, GsmArena, AndroidAuthority comment section, there are a lot of people complaining about the battery life being worse than on 5.1. I also have a friend who only gets 3 hours of SOT (with average use). All of these make me sure that i am not the one having issues.

It honestly doesn't seem possible to get 5+ hours. If so, I'm listening :)
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] rrdna:
I am happy if i get about 1,5h SOT at the end of the day on 7.0. Even with greenified apps and disabled location services. Yesterday i had about 1h SOT with power saving mode enabled at 65% battery.

Tried fresh, clean install. On MM, i heavily reduced wakelocks and alarms with amplify bu that doesnt help at all.

Need to get rid of the z5. My z3 was way better in battery life.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] cpm:
I'm still on stock MM, patiently (!) waiting for Nougat.

I was getting about 2 hours SOT, which was abysmal.

So I performed a factory reset.

Then I downloaded fewer apps.

So far I'm getting about 4 hours + SOT with auto stamina mode kicking in at 20%.

I'm on a budget 3G carrier (no 4G), so maybe that helps.

I'm conducting some tests using different Mobile Networks > Preferred network types to see if that might impact battery life

E.g.

4G preferred

WCDMA preferred

WCDMA only
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] starving!:
I was never satisfied with my battery life. Managed to get around 2,5 hours of SOT on MM and it didn't get better on Nougat.

I always have Phone Idle running and it often shows as the process that used the most energy (around the same as the screen).

I tried most solutions I read online but I can't seem to get rid of it.

Usage is not intensive at all. Mainly Whatsapp messaging and max 10 minutes of light gaming a day.

I attach some screenshots. It says 19 hours but that's only counting a night under WiFi where it went down 7%.

P.S: that was with constant WiFi, 3G for 1 hour, stamina mode always on (device performance preferred) and auto brightness at about 30%. Battery saving location.

Which theme is that please i love it. Concerning battery life for me its good i get an average of 4-5h SOT in a full day of usage

My Xperia Z5 has started troubling me since last 3 days. Screen on Time and battery ? endurance have gone terribly low the standard and that too with any unidentified reasons..

Previously, i used to get around 4hrs of SOT and no percentage drop ? throughout the night ? standby. But since the last 3 days i dont even get more than 2hrs of SOT and had to loose around 8-9% in the stand-by time ⌚ of night ?..

I am a noob, clean user, no root and nothing modified at all. Please suggest me a way to improve this. I am frustrated... :eek:

[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] zacharias.maladroit:
Battery drain rating on Sony's Stock ROM is only average (0.7-1% per hour in Airplane Mode), no matter if (unrooted) Stock ROM or with Custom Kernel; 0.5% at best with gauge tweaks and other modifications;

AOSP/CM ROM appears to be excellent - 1% per several hours;

doesn't come close to my Note 3 (a few per cents per day) or even my Galaxy S1 with the original battery (2-3% per day), but that's no disadvantage of the Z5 per se

battery's technology simply wasn't allowed to catch up with progress yet
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] jontr:
Something keeps my device awaken - not sure what this could be, as the Wakelock Detector and other apps that can show culprits require root to run on Android versions from KitKat and above. This causes battery drain when the phone is not in use overnight. Does anyone else have similiar issue?
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] zacharias.maladroit:
it's most likely something else

or part of the kernel or deep within the system,

because blocking wakelocks does hardly have any effect
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] OfficialTEC:
I find my standby drain to be terrible. I can leave my phone in my pocket, with all background app closed down and it still somehow looses 30% in about an hour.
