[Sony Xperia 1 III] vanderbart:
My Xperia 1 III is getting extremely hot even when taking photos (only 2-3) then get message about hot temperature and apps shutting down.

I use Streamlabs mostly (sometimes Prism) to broadcast to YouTube, foundthe phone almost useless! Overheating in seconds from start of s stream! I'm using my old Samsung Note 10 again as Sony wasn't simply useful.

Now I found a solution to it (sorry solution is too big word)

- I've turned "object tracking" off in camera

- I've turned autofocus on in camera

- I've turned 120hz off

Today we had hot day here in UK (27 Celcius ) I did my tests.

Streamlabs at 1080p , 7000kbps , 30fps run outdoor for about an hour smoothly. Connected to charger started to overheat.

Not to mention that tethering makes it hot quickly (so with Samsung).

Prism at 1080p 60fps run smoothly for couple of minutes and then crashed.

Didn't connect the charger.

I use Streamlabs to transmit 5-6 hours of stream into YouTube using mobile network in most if the times and whilst driving (so changing stations constantly)

I found that using WiFi it doesn't get as hot.

Also charging makes it very hot - SONY advertised it as able to by powered directly by a charger without charging battery, how and where do I find that option?

Is it available using car charger with quick charge 3.0?

I like the phone , like the shape , size and feel to it. Camera is OK (I own Sony a6500 )

Hate the fact of poor selfie camera in such expensive phone (I do live streams using selfie cam too)

Right I've ordered a return of my phone and have 30 days to send it back what alternatives do I have? Really like the SONY if it wasn't overheating I'd love it. Is there a solution to it? Cooler anything?

The things I like about the phone are:

*shape and overall feel in hand

*Cameras are ok don't really see if they great quality or not will still use my a6500 camera.

*Like the fact that can use sd card

*Love finger print reader in power button and seperate camera button

*like the fact that there's no rounded edges - hate them in my Samsung Note

I blame my problems with overheating by poorly made apps not the phone itself and not sure changing the phone will change it.

What are the options should I consider? Samsung S21 Ultra ? iPhone 12,13?

I'm a SONY fan and had many if their phones and that's why I'm looking for a solution otherwise would send it back straight away...

Can anyone help me with my problem?

Many thanks

Unfortunately greedy sony didn't provide any cooling solution to mark 3... Check disassembly videos, there is no any cooling solution at all, like you will find in asus - small vapor chamber etc. Literally nothing!

They knew snap 888 is overheating. They must have tested this device before releasing it, isn't it?

But no, still didn't apply any cooling solution. And that's a big shame and huge problem of this device.

Not sure if qualcomm provide any updated drivers to assess this problem or not. Or if sony will try to fix it. So far they did nothing and still it overheats. Mine too and you are right by saying that on 3G/5G it is hotter than on wifi.

I wonder how they can market battery as capable and better for 3 years with such hot device. Temperature of course has huge negative impact on battery longevity.

Sad but true :(
[Sony Xperia 1 III] vanderbart:
I'm quite shocked! Thanks for the info about disassembly videos...

I'm thinking if getting a cooler which you attach to the body.

What I forgot to mention that cameras itself (the lenses) don't get that hot is the area under them and closer to the centre. So must be processor and lack of cooling system.

Not sure what to do...

We have a hot weather now so I will test it intensively (if I was a Sony tester I'd never allow for the phone to be released like this).
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
Heating problems is why I keep saying that for any SOC/CPU/GPU manufacturer to keep upping the speeds of these things is STUPID! I can virtually guarantee that from now on every new CPU produced by all OEM's is going to overheat! Have you ever walked into a data center, with hundreds of servers running? You have to wear ear protection because the roar of all the internal cooling fans is deafening!

So then "we" attempt to put similar CPU's inside a device the size of a small remote control WITHOUT a fan and wonder why it overheats? There are only so many ways to keep the phone(s) cool. Use them while frozen solid in a block of ice, or better yet, stop running so many CPU/GPU intensive apps all at the same time. It's simple thermodynamics at work here. The more you have running at the same time, the harder the SOC needs to work, the hotter it is going to run. Another solution, that is literally unacceptable to most people, is to code in a lowering of the speed of the SOC. If this needs to be done then it becomes very clear that building a new, faster SOC every year is STUPID!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] vanderbart:
One more thing... I've heard that Xperia 1III is capable of powering the phone directly without battery charging to lower the heat...Does anyone know how do I turn this future on?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] spine6:
This is applicable with the game enhancer. You can add some apps there and when you open it, you can enable HS power control. Also sony just release a new firmware that answer you with this issue.. you can check my video
[Sony Xperia 1 III] TPnavoio54:
Have to sit at the outlet all the time? or how will this happen?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] vanderbart:
Thanks a lot , tomorrow I will be testing - doing long live stream on YouTube using Streamlabs, I always keep my phone under charger as I drive HGV sometimes for 3-4hrs non stop so battery would die.

It also going to be hot day here in UK and having the phone close to windscreen won't help - I know I shouldn't complain about overheating in such circumstances but my phone overheats even when taking photos although I have a feeling that after last system update its looking better , also as I mentioned before switching off object tracking has improved how smooth camera works using Streamlabs and Prism.

I'm considering buying a cooler for my phone too.

I will post my report tomorrow of how it went.

Many thanks

I found the future now in Game Enhancer app, you can power it directly. Not sure how it will perform yet. Tomorrow will send my report.

I often run streaming app in the background and not sure if Game Enhancer will work that way. I run nav app (Sygic Truck).

Heat problem has gone down significantly for me after the latest update yesterday. Usually the phone got really warm even with me just browsing using Chrome or going through Facebook. Now even when playing ROK or Mobile Legends it doesn't get that warm.

I was at almost any of this custom Roms but gCam is not so good for camera like this, If I flash custom rom and kernel, when next update come, how do I update it? normally or I must use custom recovery?
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] dedq:
I think that depends on your custom ROM. My custom ROM updates through zip file over custom recovery. I have to flash it's again and again every single time it comes out. I think some Lineage ROMs can be flashed over OTA.

Does anyone knows how to bring in excellent sony Album app?

I had it on my previous xperia 1.

In mark 3 it is missing... What a shame!

They replaced it with horrible and ugly google stock crap...that does not have half of the functions sony Album app had like to hide the pictures etc.

Why sony is constantly degrading its software from features that worked great??? Whatever they do with software, their obsession on software degradation, constant feature / functions removal is not acceptable!

I am not able to find sony album in Google Play.

Any working .apk?

Please help!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] steso90:
Hello! You can search "APKmirror Sony album" then you will find it :) i did that and it's working perfecly :)

I just downloaded it and it works!!!

Can't understand why sony, company claiming they focus on photography removed this brilliant app! It is working on my mark 3. I am so happy now :) :) :)

Can someone provide feedback to sony to bring it back to xperia line please? This is a must and iconic sony app. This app builds their brand. Some devs did a great job developing this app.

[Samsung Galaxy A02s] iBowToAndroid:
North American Samsung models have not had user-unlockable bootloaders for years. That's just how it is.

If you want an unlockable model, buy an international version

is this international version .... please help me bcz I unlock bootloader and after root ... I fash stock firmware and unroot and lock bootloader how to unlock again...bcz oem unlock not showing in dev options
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] anyemail702:
You say that the North American variant is not unlockable. But yet I have an unlocked bootloader. It tells me when I go into developer options and see the grayed out OEM unlock. Just underneath. It says "bootloader already unlocked". To achieve unlocking the bl. I I've had to press the side keys. I can't honestly tell you if it was all three keys or two keys. But it definitely involved holding the keys on the side of the phone. And you have to do it as the phone is booting up. As soon as you push the power button you hold the keys I think it might be all three keys.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] iBowToAndroid:
There are a few very rare exceptions, mostly in the A series
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] Noobiu:
This has also happened to me. I flashed stock rom to unbrick my A02sm that I was attempting to install a custom rom on, I used the exact same stock rom as before but now the OEM unlock simply doesn't exist and I've tried every solution I've found so far, yet nothing worked.
[Samsung Galaxy A02s] Hugo21189:
i as well had mine boot unlock but i installed some dumd app the corrupted it re installed sam stock worked tried root and faile causing a trigger that said i installed un official bianaris efectively locking me into bull crap mode that doesnt go away till after 7 days and from what ive read online this late in the times we r in limbo cuz the lock wont self update and wont tell it to to re allow oem lock cus the server for that has stoped beingused or so no server no oem switch no boot unlock no custm rom

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Shane Pitman:
Do the LTE versions have the antennas in the watch body or in the bands? My last smartwatch was an LG Urbane 2 LTE, and the only issue I ever had with that watch was the LTE antennas were in the watch band. The original bands broke eventually and I was able to get a replacement set, but after those broke I was unable to find another set and ended up tossing the watch in a drawer and forgetting about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
No, it's not in the band....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] the_ape:
Yeah none of the Samsung watches ever had it in the band, all in device
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Shane Pitman:
Good to know. That was a serious design flaw with the LG. Bands wear out, break, etc. and losing a key function of the device because the band wore out and broke is ridiculous.
[General Questions and Answers] Modify_inc:
Can the background of the Android 11 Power Menu be made transparent, rather than the opaque black? To take a screenshot, you have to hold the power button, which then makes the whole screen turn black, thus you can't see what your taking a snapshot of. Understandably, this is not a problem for capturing a static image of something, that's until you're trying to capture a screenshot of a video or something in motion. You have to guess when to click the screenshot button since you can't even see what you're trying to capture.

hi, greetings. I was browsing through my gallery on my Xiaomi Mi 9T/ Redmi K20 recently and discovered some pictures and videos that were black for some reason and had an info icon at the bottom right hand corner, sometimes it said failed to download and when I clicked the info icon it said too many requests, wait a minute or two and try again. I can't recall which videos and images are included in this error, but I'd be furious if they were my personal pics and videos taken with my phone.

Hi every one,

I'm looking for a beautiful Japan theme to fit with my customized ROM (since I'm studying japanese :-D ). But unfortunately I'm soooo bad at making a theme... especially to modify/create pictures u_u"

For manilla i want to put the GeishaWallpaper in the background *sooo beautiful ! See the attached picture* and eventually modify the manila icons by adding some sakura flowers (like the ones in the wallpaper).

The main color i would like to have is: black, pink and white. For example, all selector in pink would be great! For the manila icons i don't have any idea of design to fit with the same spirit as the wallpaper...

Well, i know that there is a lot of good artists here, and if you have some times to spend on my request i would be really happy!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
Since the last system update a couple of days ago, my Contacts are no longer displaying.

I have 250 contacts in one account (call it A) and 10 in a second account (call it B).

Until the update, there was a setting in Contacts that allowed me to select which account to use and I used account A.

After the update, it shows the contacts in account B, and I can not find any way of choosing account A.

Account A is still shown as usual in the list in Accounts. I have no reason to believe the records in this account have been deleted, and if they were I should still have been able to select that Account.

I'm going to download a different Contacts app and see if that sees then, but does anyone else recognise this problem? Any ideas?

I've cleared the Contacts cache, and found the right account in Contacts. It says there are no contacts in that account!

But I downloaded another Contacts app from Google Play and it shows all the contacts present and correct. I could use this instead and phone people from it...

But when I use the Phone app, it has a link to the original Contacts app and I can't replace this with a link to the new app. So when I receive a call, the Phone app can't show me the caller's name.

Does that make sense?

I've had trouble with contacts on my 10+.
