[Sony Xperia 1 III] Victor_octo:
And can't edit videos. I installed the latest version of sony album, sony photo editor and video editor, and I can only edit Photos, there's no option for videos to edit like it was on my XZ3 in Album app.

Now I bought Simple Gallery Pro: Videos & Photos Manager & Editor. It's all I needed.

Hope it helps ya!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] AmataLudu:
Thank you, Victor!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] AmataLudu:
Got it . Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] psawjack:
What do you mean by editing? Like cropping and filtering?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
To be honest lack of many sony apps and leaving us with google garbage or trash from playstore is making me want to move to iPhone. Not because of built quality nor because of camera.

But because Apple provides many dedicated apps of high quality and ecosystem + it supports its devices for years.

Sony is on opposite route and is obsessed with feature / functions / apps removal.

I bet they hired someone sitting and scanning xperia code wondering what else he can cut off / remove :(

Mark 3 build quality is good.

But software wise it sucks so much.

Now you cannot even select which pane is the main screen but it always has to be the one on the left. Why so stupid limitation??? Shouldn't android be the system of freedom, options and customization as per user preference?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] simonvfr:
For me, one of the attractions of Android is freedom to use any launcher. If you don't like the restrictions of the Sony launcher, then why not use another? I've been using the same Microsoft Launcher as I've used on last two phones and I'm very happy. Or I could use Nova, as I used to on earliuer phones.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
Perhaps because launcher that runs all the time consumes also some battery?

And mark 3 has very weak battery life (no matter what mAh capacity says).

That's the main reason.

Do you know the reason why sony cut off those functionalities like possibility to select main screen? In past it was there...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] simonvfr:
All launchers will use some battery. If you remain with Sony launcher that will also. Looking in battery usage stats on my mark 3, the Microsoft launcher is using no more than any other mainstream launcher. It's not running "all the time" - compared to, say, Google Play Services it's running a tiny amount of time.

I agree battery life on Mark 3 is disappointing - but different launcher is not an issue. Suggest you try one or two - there are some excellent ones out there and setting new default is simple, and reversible.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] hotcakes_shinku:
Im sticking with stock launcher for a different reason, that gesture navigation is broken on 3rd party launchers. If the api is only coming in Android 12, then I guess its until Android 12 comes out...whenever that is.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
The whole topic is about sony removing features and functions.

Like OBSESSED!

If this possibility to select hope screen was there why to remove it? It does not require further development...

And all great apps they had replacing with google stock crap... When I saw google crap gallery and saw no Sony album first thing I thought was to give the device back. Thankfully I found it can be downloaded from Internet and installed. Works fine.

And yes you will not find it on Google p(l)ay store... + ...

Software wise xperia devices became pathetic with this approach. + Of course no communication and no changelogs.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
Many OEM's are slowly but surely removing their proprietary apps. Good...bad??? Debatable.

The reason is that there are...in most cases...dozens of apps that will do the same thing or better on the Play Store or APK mirror, as well as a number of other sites for use. So if you're missing something, chances are that you will be able to find it, or its equivalent, and be able to accomplish whatever you need.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] simonvfr:
Gesture navigation is working perfectly with Microsoft launcher.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Maazellat:
Best launcher is Lawnchair, it is light and stable...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] AmataLudu:
Does anyone have any idea if the left side of the screen (when sliding from left to right) can be configured with any other application rather than...Google App (of course) ? I would like to have News Suite set up for that screen.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
Unfortunately no.

Google scam is the only option.

I recommend to disable it.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] murrayalex:
Mate, the camera on my iPhone 13 Pro is miles better than on my Xperia 1 III, consistently better point & shoot pictures, both during the day and at night :oops::cool::ROFLMAO:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] wiiscientist:
Hello there

I hope some super clever guy can help me ( hint hint olipro, cmonex, duttythrow )

I have been playing with my diamond since received from orange

gone from stock to

1.40 Olinex HardSPL

Radio xxx.05

Duttythrow v2.3a ROM etc

Now i need to restore so i can return to the carrier. It is on orange UK originally.

I have put orange's latest ROM 1.93

I have the xxx.05 radio anyway

Now I want to remove the 1.40 olinex HardSPL and put the stock one.. Now what I want to ask is, can someone here tell me what that SPL is? and also how I can downgrade 1.40olinex back to that?

From what I have read it is not a simple Process.

Thanks

EDIT: you will need the stock spl 1.37 as it comes default with orange uk devices.

Hello, is there any app able to record real HDR videos? I mean real HDR10/HLG with BT.2020 colors. My old Xperia XZ2Compact is capable of this and the video looks great on my HDR 4k TV
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Questions & Answers] bodda912:
is it possible to capture 1080p videos at 60Fps in Samsung Galaxy M21? if it is possible, how so? so far we can only capture videos at 30 fps which is underwhelming.
[Samsung Galaxy M21 Questions & Answers] Fredin_:
Yeah, that's sad. But sadly I don't think we can.

Even a somewhat 'midrange' Samsung phone like A51 can't record 1080p 60.

Don't know why they're locking out features...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
I bought my first Samsung phone in over 10 years, the Samsung S20 FE 4G with the Snapdragon chipset.

To my surprise the device is heating up very quickly while in use:

With light use, like messaging apps the CPU stays around 37 to 49°C,

While gaming it stays around 47 to 50°C+ (I believe the 60°C was the biggest temperature spike).

I've heard people saying that transferring data from your older phone via Smart Switch may cause this heating issue, but I don't think that should be a issue.

Lastly, I have no clue on how weather affects the phone's temperature.

Despite being winter, we're having temperatures around 40°C where I live, but even when the night comes and the temperature drops to around 20°C (right now it's 26°C and the CPU temperature is around 40°C, while I'm listening to music via Bluetooth and (re)writing this post) my phone still heats up (just not as much as in the rest of the day).

I think it's worth mentioning that the CPU temperature is also changing quickly, I don't know if that's normal or not but for instance, when I switch from one app to another, if the app I'm using to measure the device temperature (CPU Monitor) is to be believed, the temperature jumps some 2 to 5°C. It usually comes back down again, but I really don't know if that's normal.

I went to the Samsung store today, they checked, did some tests, and said that the temperature was at normal range, but they said that the temperature while switching between apps was a little strange.

They also said that their system detected a temperature spike caused by Fine Lock on the day that I bought the phone, which I find weird since it's only a launcher to the Good Lock apps, but nevertheless they advised me to uninstall it and keep monitoring the temperature for a few more days, and that if the device gets too hot (over 60°C), that I should go back again and ask for a replacement.

Anyway, should I give some time, should I worry about it, should I take it back to the store?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Orcam:
I have the same model as you and I haven't experienced any of the symptoms you are talking about. If I were you I'd return it and get another one. At least then you can be sure if it is normal or a defective device.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
SmartSwitch isn't that smart especially between different OS's/devices.

I think you better start from the beginning...

Backup your contacts etc to the PC using cut/copy plus at least one other hdd.

Factory reset. Reload from scratch. Run factory loaded versions; do not update any at first.

Avoid enabling any power management at least at first.

See what you got and go from there.

It's likely not hardware at all but a bad configuration. Common with Samsungs and correctable.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
Thank you. I'm thinking about doing it. I've talked to some S20 FE owners who live in my country (which is a very hot country) and they said that the device temperatures are basically the same as theirs, but at the same time I'm still worried about it's long term effects since I plan to keep this phone for at least two years.

Thank you, I did what you told me (except for flashing the factory stock ROM since I couldn't find it), I've only restored the apps using the Google backup, but didn't restore my settings. I've also did a mild debloat of the phone (removed Bixby and the Facebook apps) and while using the phone to browse through social media doesn't heat the phone as much as it used to, it still heats up more or less the same during gaming, so I'm guessing that might be normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Depending on how CPU cycle intensive the game is, it could normally use a fair amount of power.

Running background apps can make it noticeable worse though.

Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
It's Honking Impact 3rd, it's not intensive like PUBG or something like that, but can be intensive depending on the game mode. It runs at 53°C max. I found out that one of the apps that I was using to measure the temperature apparently only shows the temperature of the hottest CPU core, that's why the temperature sometimes shoot up to 60°C whenever I took a screenshot for example, and then came back down to around 50°C.

But I'll try disabling Play Services and playing again.

Do you know if those temperatures are safe btw? Around 50°C while I'm gaming.

The battery's temperature doesn't go past 40°C, in fact I don't even think I've ever seen it getting to 40°C.

Anyway, thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome. The Farenheit is scaled better for real world use.

140F is well within tolerance for the CPU/mobo as long as the battery doesn't get hotter than that. I don't let my battery go beyond 103F.

The CPU/mobo can handle up to probably 165F but it's best never to push it that hot as auto thermal shutdown doesn't always work in time to save the components that are running hot and have a sudden additional power usage spike.

Really the phone shouldn't feel hot... it's killing the battery too. Track them down.

If it feels warm when using the browser, something(s) are running in the background driving it up.

Any cloud apps, including Google backup Transport, Framework and Google Firebase.

Ditch any trashware apps like WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram etc.

I'm using my 10+ in a case at a 75F ambient air temp browsing with a CPU temp of 89F right now. It is stock but heavily optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
The phone doesn't feel hot, unless I'm playing a game, depending on the game it gets somewhat hot.

It's been colder in my city these past two days, but tomorrow we'll have a temperature that's closer to normal. If the phone manages to stay in an acceptable temperature range I'll keep it, if not, I'll return it to the store and see what I can get done.

My old phone didn't have a plastic back, so feeling the phone warm is a new thing for me.

Most Google apps are disabled, I only use WhatsApp to talk to my family, I have Instagram installed but I don't even remember when it was the last time I've used it (I put it on deep sleep also).

Thank you very much once again.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Using power management can cause erratic behavior and sometimes increased power usage especially if set globally.

Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is running.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
With Power Management you mean the Background Usage Limits from the Device Care app?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yeap. I have a 10+ running on Pie.

Your may get different results but it's a known source of instability and trouble.

This is how mine is configured.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
I'll try it. Thank you once again.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
I did it but now all my apps under Standby Apps are set as "Active" and I can't change it. Won't this consume more battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Once you do that you need to track down the trouble makers and deal with each on a case by case basis. Sometimes simply cleaning the system memory in Device Care can work wonders. Keep open apps to a minimum.

Here's the old version of Device Care. It uses 360° which cleans very well but is CCP junk.

To safely use it use Karma Firewall* to block its internet access. It will still run normally.

Before uninstalling your current version use Apk Export** to make a installable copy, just in case.

*freeware, uses almost no battery

**freeware that is very useful to backup all your apps and updates for future use... ditch Playstore for reloads
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
Thanks. But I can't uninstall the current Device Care app. Is it safe to do it via adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
This is normal. Just because their bucket state is marked as active doesn't mean they are running. It simple means Android is no longer managing them by assigning a bucket state to them and so on. Google it... it sounds like a great idea but it never worked well for me in practice. Android still manages the apps with it off less the added resource burden of this system.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Sorry. You are correct.

I got rid of the updated version by doing a factory reset. You can try loading the older version by first force stopping the loaded version. It may worked... try this first.

I guess a adb edit would allow you to disable the current one. If the older one will load is another question.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
Oh, I get it. Thanks.

I'll see what I can do.

I'll also test the phone again tomorrow when the weather in my city will return to normal. If everything goes well I'll keep the phone, if not I'll have to take it to the store and see what they offer me, a replacement, another device, I really don't know how it works in this particular store that I bought.

Anyway, thank you very much, you've been very helpful!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
My 10+ was a battery guzzling hot running hog before I optimized it. It took some time and effort🤣

Today you never guess it is that same phone.

If there's any doubts get a refund. It could be hardware, even a heat sink or pipe issue.

That said this is a commonly seen problem that has nothing to do with hardware in Samsungs.

Do some Google searches for that device and hot running issues. See what you find.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] furquim97:
I can relate. I had a Xiaomi before this one, and the stock ROM was plagued with app killing and battery drain. I'm glad you managed to work it out, all I had to do was switch to a custom ROM.

I've tested the same game again today since the temperature has gone back to normal where I live, and while the CPU temperatures are in acceptable range, the battery temperature got to 40°C/104°F.

I did some research regarding overheating on this phone and it's always the same thing, some have it like I do, while others say the phone doesn't even warm up the palm of their hands. So I don't know if its a configuration issue or if there are a lot of defective devices out there.

I Have the Titan and yes i have tried VITO AudioNotes v1.32 but it it ONLY records my Voice and not THE CALLER VOICE.

there gotta be some kind of Hack or something and there are so many smart people here so PLEASE HELP

it records the two sides of the speaker is on
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arvinghost:
yea but thats not very clear. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] weizhard:
try Resco audio recoder

Resco audio recorder records just about everything, it also has an option to record your calls as they are made, and save them to a folder you specify, it's automatic after that, all calls will be recorded and dated, only thing it misses is logging the phone numbers, hope that helps

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -Arturo-:
Sorry to disappoint you but probably about 90% of HTC devices aren't capable of recording both side of a call unless you use loud speaker. I've tried many voice recording programs if not all of them on my kaiser without any positive results. Apparently it is a hardware limitation as well as one ofthe WM flaws. There was plenty threads on the subject just use search if you want to find out more.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] venumx:
maybe you could run 2 recorders at the same time, one recording from the mic (input) and the other recording from what the speaker hears (output) and then stitch them together using some audio editing tool. I'm sure there is a way to write a program that does all of this automatically on your device, your battery would just run out a lot faster.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] F_R_I_T_Z:
who speak that A PHONE was not MADE to record call because HARDWARE THINGS. Is little wrong.

If HTC or any other device can not to record a call, its more because PROGRAM than HARDWARE.

Its just simple, if it is a HARDWARE THING. Standard programs that use AUDIO FILTERS OR LAYERS can not work.

Iam using WOW HD SETTIngs and when i change any seting this change to in phone . so this mean a FILTER can be between the original call and what we can listen, If i can change this so its possible to remap or intercept the audio to. ( HTC UNIVERSAL)

If we don't have Programs that do it its more because be hard to program a filter to each device.

In last CASE we still have Bluettoth , if someone REALLY WANT do a kind or program to record ( i mean loose time doing this). Can use a BT remap layer to a local program, instead a OUTSIDE DEVICE.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arvinghost:
I am sure there gotta be some kind of hack to the phone reg. maybe that will allow us to record both sides because once i installed a ROM to my phone i forgot which one it was but i was able to Listen to songs while i was talking on the phone so i am sure that is possible to be done.

Please somebody try to figure it out
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cutefox:
PM Recorder does record both side.. it even records bluetooth conversation.. i have owned many wm devices and the last three(benq p51, i780, omnia) i have used all able to record phone conversation using PM recorder.. the only drawback is the format it is saved in.. only the program can play it..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] venumx:
what format does it save in?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] camro:
forget the posts about ....

vito can make all your jobs - BUT WITHOUT RECORDING the caller's point of view.

these record is only which you hear from speaker to micro -> so that is very noisly - or you can set that the call will be made on speaker, but this is not what you want :)

i'm playing with pda's the last 10 years - and there is no solution for it.

there is no solution for recording both side from the call !!!

# # #

of course from the technical point of view -> this is possible, but nowbody have develope a tool and the api from MS is not opensource :)

Not true ... I did managed to get it to work on my ASUS P525 (WM5) using Resco Audio Recorder but not on my TyTnII.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lasimo0:
As far as I know, this is illegal in some countries. I looked into a similar program a while back and recording conversations (without the other party knowing up front) is criminal in the U.S.

It's a cool concept and I know it's possible. I got it working once, but for the life of me I can't remember what I used. Beware of the legal issues and good luck getting it to work if you decide to.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] laytone:
it can be done

I have recorded both sides of a call using the notes record featur. I have a tmo wing and I have no idea what rom i was using seems it changes every week.

"...As far as I know, this is illegal in some countries. I looked into a similar program a while back and recording conversations (without the other party knowing up front) is criminal in the U.S.

..."

So, if this is TRUE. All nokia with SYBIAN and sony phones i already have in my life are under law.

The only plataform didnt record PHONE CALL is WM and HIGHT TECHS ONES LIKE WM.

The low END phones and SYMBIAN this is a trivial thing.

Iam just looking my sony w300 and t610 here ( 10y old phones?). and they do it, well a lot..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arvinghost:
yea my friend has a Nokia phone and he can record both sides AND he lives in the USA.

anyways i tried the vito note but when i have it on recording, I cant make a call or hear anything until i stop the recording.

Also when i am already on the call, Vito does not start the recording why?

By the way i heared that it is possible to record while you are talking on Bluetooth but you need audio gateway driver or something like that ..

ANY IDEAS???????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobzero:
yes it would be amazing if we could get what seems to be such a simple feature such as call recording on our expensive phones....

even 10 year old phones have this feature... so sad that our phones can do so much yet not this simple little thing.

Yea its very sad that we spent over $500 for our phones and they can't even record phone calls :(
