[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] murrayalex:
Sent the 1st white one back to Wondamobile and they quickly sent a replacement. The replacement lasted less than a week before the paint started peeling off again behind the glass. FFS Sony, it is 2020...having an issue like this is rather pathetic. So, I sent it back again for a refund this time. Now, you might think..."I could live with that and/or I can just put a case on it" but I never use cases plus, I always sell my phones on after a year. By the time I come to sell it half of the paint on the back could be gone and I'd get much less for it when it comes to be sold so I'm not going to take that hit when it's a clear manufacturing fault.

I will get the Xperia 5ii instead as the refund has n ow come through.

Very disappointed as it is a great phone. Not interested in the black before anyone chips in, I like the lighter sides of white phones as they hide dust better.

Received phone last week, was concerned about screen brightness outdoors after reading internet reviews...not sure if they tweaked it before launch but there is no issues in direct sunlight..
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] idees:
so, you can see the apps, you can write easily in direct sunlight?

thanks
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] leicablue:
I am usually very fussy when it comes to sunlight legibility and I have had many phones, but this seems more than fine for normal usage outdoors. It's no iPhone but certainly not as bad as some reviewers make it out.

It's actually not very bright in direct sunlight. Was out on the back porch with it today, noticed it right away.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] hpsauce37:
Not bright enough by far for me. Compared to other flagship phones I've used, S20, p40 pro, oppo find X pro all better
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] JB2unique:
Not bright enough for me in direct sunlight. Auto brightness is weaker than last year's 1. Hope this can be sorted in software later.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Harboe:
It could use a bit more brightness indeed. Sometimes while taking photos when it's very sunny, it can be a bit hard to see the screen.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] hanifh:
Not bright at all coming from the S20+ and P30 Pro. Great screen resolution but utterly abject brightness for some reason.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mr Farmer:
realised that once i turn threading off, there's no vibrate or sound alert for incoming sms.

was wondering if anyone can recommend how to circumvent this as I prefer unthreaded SMS

thanks!

edit: i'm 1.37 ROM
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 205_lacoste:
Here sound (and maybe vibration... can't remember) works just fine, even with the threaded sms off.

Of course I also used the tweak to wake on SMS.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mr Farmer:
my problem is the same whether i used that tweak or not
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ageye:
how can I disable SMS threading?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mooooooa:
I had same problem when i edited in the registry editor, to remove threaded sms. There was no alarm and vibration.

Then i made a hard reset, and everything went to standard. Then i did the registry edit to remove threaded sms again. And now it's working well. I have alarm and vibration and no threaded sms :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mr Farmer:
I would loathe to do that cause i already Hard Resetted twice (once because of this). Besides there's no gurantee it would work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mr Farmer:
it would be nice to be able to do this without additional apps!

I'm having real problems, the 4G is 1x bar and I live 400m away from a transmitter. My OnePlus 6T has full bars with the same SIM in the same area. I'm on O2 UK and it seems they only use 2x 4G bands...but that's doesn't explain why I'm getting a low signal. When I make a phone call I get clicking and dropout. It's terrible. Am going to get handset replaced when they have more stock!!

Try using the My Network app to check the status of nearby masts and your coverage.

I know it doesn't explain why one phone is performing better than the other but hey, could be worth a shot

[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] edda123:
Signal is pretty bad. I have Google WiFi at home and in my bedroom the Xperia can barely connect and often drops. My old OnePlus 5t did not have this problem. I'm very surprised an all glass phone has that much worse WiFi than a 3 year old metal unibody design...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] kasiopc:
I notice the WiFi isn't great on the phone. I often have to switch to mobile data. My older phones do not have this problem.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] GarethW1987:
Same, my s9+ was all glass and had better wifi signal. I'm wondering if it can be fixed with a software update as when I first got the phone it wasn't to bad.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] murrayalex:
My Xperia 1 would drop the wifi connection at home too often, I've had the Xperia 1 11 for a week now and it is better but still drops it, every couple of days for a few seconds, so far anyway. Never have this issue at home with my iPhone 11.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Big_AP:
Gotta say I've had no issues with wifi strength, range or throughput. I'm on O2 here in the UK.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] brocnical:
I am having problems with a BT Smart Hub. It doesnt seem to be a problem with the signal strength for me, rather it stalls all the time and data isn't received every so often. Played with switching between 802.11ac, 802.11n and 802.11g but makes little difference.

I started a thread on the Sony forums on this here:

[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] brocnical:

Wifi strength is bad on mine. Drops out in several rooms of the house, where non of my older phones had the same problem
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Ca5c4d3:
I have a WiFi 6 (AX) router and the phone connects at almost full speed across 10meters between 3 rooms, something you cant get with AC WiFi for sure.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] quasyl:
:confused: I have used the newest Athena SPL Downgrader of Cmonex posted today, but after to have run the tool, my device doesn't boot anymore. Before to apply the downgrade tool, I had Italian WM6.1 ROM, (SPL3.5) and wanted to change for the same excellent rom but SPL1.20 to have more free memory. The downgrade has completed correctly, the device has first rebboted, configured the device, but hard reset for a 2nd time and then don't reboot more. I try to hard rest but it now don't want to boot.. I can acceed to bootloader it indicate SPL1.2. What can be happen? Some thing I can do? Only assistance? Any help would be appreciated very much. Excuse my bad english, I hope to have been clear enough... Thx
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lakeman:
Sorry to hear your troubles but it would be best to post this in the thread where you found the tool.

My understanding is you need to flash an SPL 1 rom after finishing the downgrade.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] quasyl:
Sorry for the mistake, don't know how to move the thread now...:o To install a SPL1.20 is was I wanted to do after the downgrade, but how to istall it if it doesn't rebbot?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] gendong69:
STEP BY STEP:

1. make sure Athena is running WM and synced with Activesync. do not try entering bootloader mode manually!

2. extract the downloaded zip from Attachment to this post, you'll find an SPLDowngrader.EXE inside. run that EXE on your PC, now Athena should go to tricolour screen saying OliNex SSPL.

3. let the RUU flash.

4

. it will reboot and also will hard reset your device. you will need to flash an OS compatible with old SPL now. job done

.

5. +1: you should verify the modelid and SPL version is correct (ATHE100 and 1.20.Olipro). see "extra help" below on how to enter bootloader mode to check.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] gendong69:
Extra help: steps to help with flashing an OS if someone never flashed from bootloader before:

0. do not freak out if the OS isn't booting after downgrade. depends on what OS was on it before. maybe you will only get black screen but do not worry, read further:

1. you should manually enter SPL, by holding camera key (ALL THE WAY IN!!) while resetting. hold it until tricolour screen appears.

2. then use some other RUU / ROM package to flash an OS compatible with old SPL. job done.

Struggling with mine. On O2, 35Mbps on speed test, but buffering trying to watch 1080p on YouTube, let alone 4k!

Tried missus Vodafone sim, on her phone getting 60/70Mbps, on my Xperia, 35Mbps max.

No idea why speed is so low and I can't even watch 1080p!!?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Rodders_28:
Uninstalled YouTube updates. Old version appears to work fine on 4g

100mb/s from inside my home with 2 bars 5G

130mb/s inside my home with 2 bars 4G+

Pushing 27mb/s from inside my home with 1 bars 5G

pushing 87mb/s inside my home with 0 bars 4G+

I guess it is because my provider is sharing the back end for 4g and 5g and has less bandwidth reserved for 5G since I'm in a city

250mbs on WiFi (5) which is the max from my provider

[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Montane:

[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Madnessx9:
Perhaps im misreading the signal strength bars but mine is always grey (no white bars), although installing a signal measuring app tells me my signal is good.

Speedtest shows 4Mbps & 0.60Mbps :( good thing I have fast internet at home.

Not tested out and about due to lockdown perhaps when I go to work things will get better.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] cd993:
I can confirm this too. My signal bars says I've got 1/4 bars (so around 25%), yet Network Signal Info says I've got 46%
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] sudman:
Yep, the signal strength i.e. bars on the phone, appears to be lower than my other phones. On Vodafone in the UK, indoors on my iPhone i get 3bar LTE signal strength, on the Xperia 1 II I have no signal !! It's not looking good.

However start doing speed tests over LTE and I get folling results:

iPhone 11: Down- 11.5Mbps - Up - 7.24

Xperia 1 II: Down 13.9Mbps - Up - 8.31

I think Sony need to recalibrate their signal strength indicator.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Ca5c4d3:
Getting crazy numbers on O2 5G like 250mbps. 4G is quite good as well in my area but its in the 20-30mbps range.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] Svatopluk_9:
My tests without CC aggregation are 15/10Mbit

With Carrier aggregation 105/1Mbit

Unfortunatelly it is really 1Mbit upload, even if I am 90m from BTS and have full singal, measured on 3 places - 3 BTS not overloaded (I am working for my mobile operator), same results. The only place where carrier aggregation is no problem is directly before BTS (about 15m). Seems like low power transmitter. I had my phone on repair twice, some things are better now, but still not good for the money.

As well as its speakers,

Dolby Atmos tuned by Sony Pictures and Sony music

DSEE Ultimate

are exclusive and make its analog jack perform better than others subjectively.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Real Life Review] disaster999:
Without turning on the Dolby Atmos, the speakers sounds horrible. It sounds hollow, tinny, and vibrates way too much, and thats before turning on that vibration effect. The vibration effect pretty much does nothing to enhance the experience and makes your hand goes numb from it constantly vibrating.

Turning on Dolby Atmos made the speaker sound a bit better, its clearer and doesnt sound hollow at all. But I still think my 2 year old Note 9 still sounds a tad better than the Sony. At least the Sony doesnt have downward firing speakers.

How is the update later, we have a notification from the ROM?

Edit:

I just installed Aix and I find the options too clutter to choose (it lacks a bit of help for the choice).

Once the system is started, there is a lack of applications specific to LG (Music, Photo, Gallery, Calendar ...)

In short I return to the LG Stock ROM
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Lucien1997:
Its because you only flashed the installer file, you also need to flash the apps one file, it contains all the apps you mentioned and more, and you can choose what you want and what you dont want, you didn't read the readme file, did you? It was called readme for a reason, and thats because its important for you to read it

About the choices, you can install everything, see what you like and dont like, see how the apps are, and just reflash the files to remove what you don't want or don't like, or use 3C toolbox to uninstall them
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] stradfred:
2) to get fresh LG/GOOGLE apps and additional content without downloading them from STORE (and buying, yeah) you need to flash APPS One package

[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] slimshady112:
Hey there!

Alright, so, I was deciding between the Asus ROG Phone 2 and the OnePlus 7T. I really wanted to take the Asus ROG2 but the guy selling it thought it was a global edition, but later found out it was a Chinese version so ofc I didn't want to take that. The second alternative was the OnePlus 7T which looks like a solid device, but at the end I just went with the Realme X2 Pro 8gb 128gb edition because of the price difference between them. The Realme X2 Pro is 480 euros here, while the OnePlus 7T is 600+ euros for the 128gb version. How are you satisfied with your X2 Pro? What do you think about my decision? :)
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TheCrownClown:
I had the same problem.

I had to choose between the new xiaomi 10, but the price was much higher than i expected, The Op7t, the realme x2pro.

I was coming froma Op3.

I took the Realme because it has the oppo company behind, and the 12/256 was at 480€ on amazon for the weekend.

It has some software issues, i hope that the next update will change a lot.

Sure the Op7t has more support from modders and everything, but we will have it too.
