[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I have the H8296 model (non-US).

As for does it have VoLTE?

Short answer: Maybe?

Here's why I say that:

Using the search function in settings nets the following result:

However,when navigating from that,I don't "see" it:

If I go here:

I get this:

When I select this option,I lose all APNs & have to manually enter the APN,wash/rinse repeat.

I do see the LTE+ icon in the status bar,not sure if that's related or not:

If you have a dialer code that might reveal hidden settings, that'd be awesome & I'll take a look...

Perhaps flashing US Firmware will show the settings,or,it's already active,but,the setting is unaccessible(?) (a future root solution,perhaps).

If you have a method/app to check/confirm VoLTE,I'd be glad to check it out & share the results ......... :good:

EDIT:

I used T-Mobile's BYOD App to verify VoLTE & judging by their wording, not definitive:

Could be B.S. to get you to buy one of their phones,T-Mobile US just got fined $40 MILLION USD by the FCC for being less than truthful regarding rural service connections/calls...........

https://www.tmonews.com/2018/04/t-mobile-pay-40-million-fcc-settlement-failed-rural-calls/

FWIW,T-Mobile's DIGITS app works just fine:

The settings are the same as the settings on my XZ.

I don't understand why Sony phones don't support VoLTE but most of the Chinese phones do.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spam97:
Got mine like a week ago and so far I'm impressed . The screen is plenty bright the camera photos are very good the speakers are clear and loud-ish.. On a minimum style of use the battery can last 2-3 days so I'm impressed.

The games run ( actually I've only tried Hearthstone ) run without any problems. The lack of a headphone jack is bearable since my preorder came with those wireless headphones .

I agree the phone is slippery and a case is a must .

That's pretty much it .. I'm impressed with my first Sony Mobile device ( came from a 5 years old Nexus 5 ).

Also there are a bit too many duplicate apps.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] squazz:
I got it last week I think it's fantastic. I wasn't a huge fan of the new design until I saw it in person, but I really like it now. With the "fat" curved back, it is so much nicer to hold compared to my old Z2. I'm slightly disappointed that the deep green isn't nearly as green as I'd've preferred, but it is still much better than simple grey or black slab. I hate the glass back on my previous Z2, and I hate it now, but it's not a huge deal since I was going to but a case on it even if it didn't have this major design flaw.

It's just too bad that it is horrendously expensive at ~100€ in my country at least.

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

I can and do use VoLTE. Granted, my phone says I'm on 4G+, not LTE+ (I'd guess it's the same?) and I'm not on an American network.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] afcor:
FWIW: in a chat session the other day with T-Mobile, they verified to me that VoLTE is certified to work on their network. Maybe the US version will have an obvious option for this?

The phone is great. But there is major wifi and Signal connectivity issues for me. With 2 bars wifi still showing pages load extremely slowly. Same goes for LTE suddenly for few mins it shows 0 bars signal. Sony needs to fix this

And in a chat session with me yesterday, they said it wasn't certified and they didn't know if it would be. I don't get VoLTE or WiFi Calling on T-Mobile on my US Unlocked model, so I don't have any hope, honestly.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] leony74:
I received it yesterday, Model H8266. In my personal opinion it's a perfect phone. The feel in hand is amazing thickness no issue at all, battery life amazing sitting at 4 hrs SOT with 41 percent battery remaining. Charged it 19 hours ago. UI is lag free. Came from S9+ can easily say Samsung suck there software optimization is very poor when it comes to battery life. This is how Android works. Snapdragon 845 is awesome.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devzz:
For whatever reason, the UK got the 4GB version. Or at least, the retailer I got it from did, which is ridiculous. My last phone was the 10 too, and the sound was definitely deeper on it.

Can you provide a link please? I've noticed issues with the signal too, despite my HTC getting full signal in places I've noticed the XZ2 struggling with half bars.

I owned the Z2 and got it when it first came out. I definitely agree with the form factor being better now although with a lot of people, it seems to be a love/hate thing. Definitely, definitely needs a case, although I can't seem to find any third party ones.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Metyy:
Hi. Im new, but was looking to get this phone. Now you said the model you have has lte+? On the xz1 compact thats shows and acts as volte. So can you make a phone call and see if the lte+ is still there or does it drop to h+. Thanks.

Got mine yesterday

Camera seems OK. Haven't fully tested it, though. Extremely fast chip and UX. The UI is very good - minimal changes from stock AOSP, animations are faster by default. Stereo is very good, haptic feedback won't suit everyone, though. Gaming is a pleasure, so is consuming content: HDR + X-Reality + stereo is a fantastic combo. The device's audio tweaks can make even the bundled mediocre earpieces sound good.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Might be from the Battery Care service. that charges your battery to 90% or so, to enhance the battery cell longevity. Same readings on my device as well.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] spine6:
Hi,

I hope so but i message sony about this and their reply is kindly contact your retailer about it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nasko_spasko:
Meh... I don't think it's a bad thing as the device scores couple of minutes less SOT than S9+, which is with 3,5Ah battery and an AMOLED screen.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
Coming from htc u11 i find battery quite impressive. It had a larger battery (and screen) and my best score was 7,5 hours sot when i used it heavy on a single day (mainly netflix). Allday battery life was much lower, like 2 days and 5 hours sot.

Thats the basic value with my usage.

The xz2 compact scores enough under same circumstances:

P. S. Only idle battery drain seems a littlle higher
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] cornel.atomei:
I think camera is a good step up from the XZ1 and XZ premium, it has better processing. A comparison with one of the best cameras on the market, Huawei P20, and I can safely say that, it is really out there with the best of the best.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2dorr:
Got it 2 days ago. It's the silver version and I like it a lot because all the time I get black phones. I have 2 issues though. One is a strange drain that keep the phone warm and I can't find out what is the cause and the second issue is a bug with camera app that crash from time to time. A case is mandatory with the slippery back of the phone. I put it on wireless charger pad and it goes away...:). Camera is fine, better than my former iPhone X, at least with launching and taking photos. The screen is superb almost like an Amoled but be aware that Super-vivid mode will show pictures without details on dark areas. For example a picture in the dark with clouds and trees in the picture, visible, on the phone will show as a black area without anything visible. Speed is incredible, the fastest Android phone that I ever used. And I see when it lags or the scroll stops for a little, or when it drop frames. This phone has nothing like this. Also RAM Management is fine even with 4 GB RAM, but I do not have any games on my phone, so I am referring to normal apps.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] caloysilva:
The phone grows on you. At first I hated the design and the UI, but when you realize how much of a beast this phone is, you will love it.

Pros:

1) Amazing battery life

2) Wireless charging is surprisingly an amazing new feature (I still had my wireless chargers from when I had the iPhone X, so that didn't go to waste)

3) Phone is crazy fast. SD 845 is awesome

4) Phone has a bit of heft to it, which is a plus for me. I hate phones that are super slim and light. This feels really solid

5) Screen is good. You don't really need 4k screen to enjoy a phone

6) Loudspeaker is loud and music sounds great

7) Micro SD card slot is still great

8) Water resistance is a plus. You might not need it indoors, but it comes really handy when you need to take photos when swimming in the pool or something

Cons:

1) UI for me is very boring and plain.

2) I don't know if its just me, but I encountered several hangs when browsing Youtube or Apple Music. I'm going to blame the software on this.

3) This phone is crazy overpriced

4) No headphone jack. They did include a 3.55mm adapter but I was hoping for a USB Type C headphones like the ones HTC provides with their phones.

5) You definitely need a case on this phone. It is super slippery and smudge prone.

6) Fingerprint scanner placement is just weird. You always end up smudging your camera lens

7) Display size is 18:9 but it doesn't feel like it. Bezels are smaller that previous phones from Sony but I think it could be smaller that it is now

8) Camera is meh. It looks good but it won't make you gasp over the pictures as I did when using the S9+ camera. They could have used a dual camera setup . I guess we have to wait for the XZ2 Premium.

9) Accessories is lacking, especially here in the Philippines. Cases are very hard to find.

Overall this phone is amazing if you don't really care about its mediocre camera. It takes amazing photos but it won't make the camera enthusiasts happy.

I'm also hoping for more ROM development on this phone. It is part of the Android P Beta program, and I hope the progress of ROM development on this starts from there.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nreuge:
1) Agree, too much white for my taste (but this is the Oreo philosophy...)

3) I don't think so, taking into account the build quality. Yes, chinese flagships are cheaper (but...)

8) On my side, I find the camera very good. Anyway, most of the reviews show that the XZ2 camera is as good (if not better) as the other recent flagships of renowned brands...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] caloysilva:
I think I keep comparing the phone with the Mi Mix 2s (specs wise this is the XZ2's competitor), that's why I keep thinking it's overpriced. But yes the build quality, water resistance, heft and weight, are definitely amazing and kinda justifies the price :)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Luhccas-X10:

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Axeleik:
Hi,

After a look at the pixel 2 xl forums, I realized that they have many more rooms for their device. Since the pixel 2 xl differs only a bit (only the display, right?) from our pixel 2, is it possible to install a pixel 2 xl Rom on our devices? If not, is it possible to port their Roms with a little work?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ZeroSkylineX:
I would also like to know the answer to this question as well.

I own the Pixel 2 XL and recently just picked up a Pixel 2 for the gf. I had a look at the ROM section for the Pixel 2 and it's literally empty of ROMs, they're mostly all just kernels. This leads me to believe- Can the Pixel 2 XL Roms be used on the Pixel 2?

Even RR doesn't have Pixel or Pixel 2 ROMS, only the XL variants. I'm under the assumption that the ROM can be used interchangeably.

Has anyone found a way to change these?

Hi,

I have a new Amazfit BIP watch, and did a Treadmill training today. So I started treadmill, and cyled indoor for 30 minutes. When I wanted to end the activity, I got the message "distance too short".

Why does that happen? I mean, indoors I don't have GPS, and no real distance to run. How is this supposed to work correctly, and what am I doing wrong?
[Amazfit] lfom:
It relies on the pedometer/accelerometer. If you didn't move your arm where the watch was during the exercise, it won't measure anything. It's normal that the distance isn't accurate, you must settings your personal data (age, height, etc) correctly in the app, and calibrate the distance after the activity (Pace has this AFAIK, don't know about Bip).

Hi all,

I want to install a custom ROM on my OnePlus 5. I want it to have a lot of customizability, but I also want it to be really smooth, with great battery backup.

I was searching for a ROM, and I found 3 that appeal to me:

xXx NoLimits

OmniROM

Resurrection Remix

Which ROM out of these is the best (I know that's subjective, but I would like to know your opinions). And I heard that Resurrection Remix doesn't have a great battery backup. Is this true?

I'd also like to know if you use any other ROM, which you recommend?

Resurrection is pure stock with Customisation and the ROM lacks features like Gaming mode and some other OOS features and the most importantly face unlock .No limit is based on OOS but many users claim sometimes they got bootloops after flashing and you will suffer with the quality of photo OOS camera Clicks .

I will suggest No limit in comparison with Camera M mod and Portrait mode enabled G cam mod .
