I couldn't verify this anywhere, but does the 1 V no longer have a half-press shutter button sound for focusing? It didn't work out of the box and still not working on build 67.0.A.4.51. I have already enabled All Audio Signals in the camera menu, phone is not on silent or DND.

Phone is US variant XQ-DQ62. Didn't have this issue on my previous Xperia I iii.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
Still works for me in Photography Pro Version 1.6.A.0.25

67.0.A.4.51 release-keys
[Sony Xperia 1 V] len11:
I am also on 1.6.A.0.25.

I got this bizarre response from Sony's community support forum saying it's not a feature of the 1 V.

https://us.community.sony.com/s/question/0D5Dp00000kYM4KKAW

This doesn't sound right at all, can anyone else speak for having or not having the half-shutter focus sound?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] ragu24:
It does make a sound after focus, however not in Continuous (AF-C). Switch to to single focus (AF-S) and it should make a noise once it locks the focus
[Sony Xperia 1 V] len11:
Thank you! This was the information I was looking for!

I had just got off the phone with the engineering support team rep who had also insisted IT IS NOT A FEATURE ON THIS DEVICE and wanted me to obtain video evidence from another user that the audio signal is present because they did not believe me and could not even get the sound themselves. Unbelievable and frankly a bit scary Sony's own team was clueless.

About the only high level tech assistance I have ever received that was always spot on was from Microsoft! Now I'm talking enterprise level PAID tech support that larger companies have...not some guy sitting in his basement who "works" for Microsoft. When you have $$$$$ tech support from a company as world renowned as Microsoft you are getting true egg-heads who know their stuff inside-and-out!
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Haldi4803:
Though luck.

The onboard display Recording Feature Does NOT record the shutter sound, even if you activate the "recorde device sounds" option.

Hello, Does anyone encounter display issues with MIUI 14.0.4 ?

On my device it seems that the size of the screen is not well detected.

For example with this app "Diagral Connect'" the application is only displayed on the upper left square of the screen.

I've tried to find out an error in the logs without success...

Have you got any ideas in order to solve this ?

Thanks.

My newly bought OPPO RENO 10 5G battery is draining very fast and during standby also at night time it got reduced 10%. Does anyone else is facing same issues with Reno 10 series?
[OPPO Reno Questions & Answers] PhoneRepairHUB:
I experienced that a lot inside the shop jsut try rolling back the firmware , downgrade
[OPPO Reno Questions & Answers] akashpandey6969:
Yes, I'm also facing this issue. You can't even use this mobile on mobile data.

My phone gives 6 hours run time before it touches 20% battery, if use it on wifi..

And on mobile data, it hardly runs for 4-4.5 hours..

What to do?
[OPPO Reno Questions & Answers] ShadyWarped:
Hey ! New oppo user here ! I have recently bought a f25 pro and was facing the same problem. I used accubattery to measure battery usage and such info. My phone's battery was draining really fast even on standby and even faster (17% per hour) when using it even on low brightness and 60hz refresh rate. When I checked the battery usage by app, it turned out that a system app called AON services is running 24x7 and causing massive battery drain. It you are facing the same problem check this first in your battery settings. You can't permanently disable it. The only way is to delete it using a PC app (I don't remember the name, it was in a reddit post.) I am leaving the page's link. Hope it solves everyone's problems.

https://www.reddit.com?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1

Edit : I forgot that it is a recent app and earlier the app consumed even more power. After a system update(the above msg was written after the update) now the app is consuming less power but still it is significant. I think it will get solved after another update simply because it is badly optimised. So wait for a month (it's April 2024 now) and it should get solved. If it doesn't work even after May 2024. Just restart your phone 3-4 times and this should fix it.

[Motorola Razr 40 Ultra / Razr+ / Razr 2023] Kilgariff:
Has anyone found a way to use a third party keyboard on the external display? I use thumb-key for everything except terminal/ssh, which I dont use on this phone.

When you have a keyboard that isn't Gboard set as default, and you try to use the keyboard on the external display an error appears stating that 3rd party keyboards are not supported and forces you to either use gboard(while also setting it as system default) or lose keyboard functionality on the external display, even after ticking the "don't show this again" box, the error still shows up after some time.

This wouldn't be so bad if you could have a separate external(gboard) and internal(thumb-key, floris, etc), but that function isn't available either, instead if you use a 3rd party keyboard on the external, and accept the error prompt it will set the system default to gboard and you will have to manually set it back to your preferred keyboard after opening the phone.

As a workaround I just don't use the keyboard on the external display and instead open the phone if I need to respond to a text or email, which isn't the end of the world for me. I have also completely disabled gboard so I dont get the error prompt if I accidentally tap into a text field,

I would like to use the keyboard on the external though so I don't need to open my phone to put in the pin for my 2fa or pw manager, so I was curious if there is another solution.

Edit: US phone purchased from carrier
[Motorola Razr 40 Ultra / Razr+ / Razr 2023] DanielMode:
idk....but holy crap that app is jigh price 18 $ are u kidding me

Not a bad idea, be interesting to use the external display as a BT trackpad for my vehicle.
[Motorola Razr 40 Ultra / Razr+ / Razr 2023] RamsesAR:
I agree with this request, I have always used SWITFTKEY as my keyboard and now I have to use GBOARD which I don't like at all. Has anyone found a solution?
[Motorola Razr 40 Ultra / Razr+ / Razr 2023] sepraphim:
Install the automate app from Google Play Store and apply the new flow.

You can use different keyboards on the external and internal displays.

The external display does not support third-party keyboard apps, so I have no choice but to use it this way.
[Motorola Razr 40 Ultra / Razr+ / Razr 2023] MacDegger:
Just wanted to say:

THANK YOU!

Took a bit to get right but your answer and Flow helped to get it working ... at least as good as it could. Best would be "Smart Keyboard Pro everywhere", but "Gboard on external and SkbP when open, without crashes or errors or having to reselect IME" works well enough!

There are a few tricky things to get it working, though, so I wrote a little wonky guide showing how I finally got it all to work wrt permissions etc. Wonky, 'cause I tried things in/out of order :P But it works in the end!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sansei:
Hi, Has anyone swapped their original battery on Samsung S7 to a new one? Does Samsung manufacture replacements, or can we only buy cheap chineese batteries?

On other occassions I found that these are not reliable, as they either fake capacity or degrade quickly.

Battery drain both in idle and when screen is on feels very high, and I wonder whether it's time for a replacement. I'm not sure though whether I should replace battery or whole phone as battery capacity is something like 3000mAh which is twice less than modern phones. Perhaps its not aging effect, but rather software demands which increased over time?

BTW: I'm on stock rom as I use google apps with Family Link, and although I tried some custom roms I found each to have some bugs or oddities.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mohue:
Hello,

My S21 Ultra is a SM-G998U1/DS. DS stands for Dual SIM: one SIM + one eSIM.

Mobile is not FRP locked nor SIM locked.

It was used in France on SFR mobile network.

Since I tried to replace SIM by eSIM, it doesn't work. All the SIM I try are recocgnized, the PIN is entered and the mobile phone number is correctly displayed into About phone screen, as well as the operator name. APN settings are also correctly displayed.

The symptoms: I see this icon and no network trafic.View attachment 5973215

I tried in 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G and no trafic. I tried to switch off Automatic network selection but the phone display an error message.

I flashed the phone with the latest US release available. The operator sofware version was: SAOMC_SM-G998U1_OYM_GCF_13_0006 GCF/GCF,GCF/TMB

Afterward, I flashed it with a canadian ROM in order to get another CSC.

The, I came back to the US ROM and I changed the CSC with SamKey to replace GCF by XAA.

But nothing made this phone work again.

Do you have an idea to fix it?

Regards,
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mohue:
Hello everyone,

I found the problem. It was the USB-C card inside the phone which carry on antenna connections. I've bought this card (version G-998U mandatory) on Aliexpress. I replaced it and now, the phone is receiving GSM signals correctly.

do you know if mobile payment works after root? and does the banking app work? root acces on previous phones blocked access to the application
[Sony Xperia 1 V] osc123:
Thank you @UniquePhillip. Exactly what is needed.

Two questions:

When you say

Does this mean boot into recovery (using power + vol down) and then select 'Reboot to bootloader'? from the blue recovery menu?

And then for the 3 modem files - they are fine to be in the directory as .sin files and no conversion or anything else needed for them?

This guide is very helpful although for some reason Windows recognizes the android device when booting recovery and then selecting 'Reboot to bootloader' but the drivers from the Sony website are not accepted by Windows so need I need to do more digging to understand why they are not recognized at this point.

Again many thanks for putting this guide together!
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Velaar.Felps:
Short answer - yes. I have wallet, banking and SafetyNet/PlayStore Certified passing on my device. Long~er answer:

1. Root should be hidden from banking and insurance apps

2. Universal PlayIntegrityFix 4.0x fix module still works

3. LSposed has to be hidden from AppList and Magisk has to be renamed
[Sony Xperia 1 V] UniquePhillip:
For me (on my 54), I held vol down when turning on the phone and booted straight into flash mode (green star). The blue star was from volume up. Not sure why it's different for you, sorry.

Yes, just copy the sin files with no modifications. No need to convert or extract

What do you mean the drivers aren't accepted by windows?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] 2015Ducatimulti:
just heads up for my DQ72 for using newflasher, I have to hold down volume button and plug the USB cable in, then I get get green dot on the screen to indicate flash mode, then newflasher would see my 1 V then I could flash the US modem files. Thanks
[Sony Xperia 1 V] osc123:
Interesting. Mine is a 72 and vol up + power or bottom camera button + power do not do anything - just normal boot.

Vol down + power loads an android recovery menu.

If entering the 'Reboot to boot loader' menu option I have a blue star, so similar to your vol up + power.

Far as I know the phone is stock although was not purchased from Sony and has locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] osc123:
Bingo. Thanks so much - this is what was needed on my 72 as well.

Holding vol down and then inserting the USB after a few seconds brings up green star!
[Sony Xperia 1 V] osc123:
Can confirm this method works on my DQ-72 on Tmobile.

Modifications made from OPs method to get this to work:

- Holding volume down and inserting the USB cable to enable flash mode (green star)

- Selecting Y when running newflasher to get the driver install file

- Running the driver install file that appears in the directory

- Pressing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting Phone Information and then selecting the three dots in the top right corner and then Select Radio Band and then United States

- Also then changing Set Preferred Network Type to NR Only or NR/LTE or NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA.

(Last two steps are from @Hurt Copain 's thread on doing this).

In my case NR Only produced fastest speeds but no ability to execute voice calls so keeping it on NR/LTE for now but may change depending on coverage and speeds.

Speed is 3x faster than before modem for download, 6x faster for upload.

Also interestingly when doing this NR Available (NSA): is false, NR State (NSA) is NONE and NR Frequency is Unknown... and yet the 5G icon shows up in the top bar and speeds are much better...

[Sony Xperia 1 V] rmiles7721:
Downloaded the DQ72 firmware as that's the version my phone is running, used "sony_dump output init_boot_X-FLASH-ALL-25B1.sin" and it did create the output folder but the two files in it are init_boot_X-FLASH-ALL-25B1.000 with a file size of 8192 kb and init_boot_X-FLASH-ALL-25B1.crt with a 0 file size.

I locked the bootloader and flashed twice with xperia companion, but pin-lock, patter or password does not work. Settings app is crushing. Any Idea on fix?

Upd: I tried to flash 22 rom, reflash multiple times, but had no luck.

Once I unlock the bootloader the ability to set pin is back, locking without wiping and bug is back in place.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] UniquePhillip:
Try removing all auth methods while bootloader is locked, then unlocking. You should be able to set pin/fp like normal.

If that doesn't work maybe try xperia companion repair then setup like that (no auth before unlocking) again
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Supermaxness:
Yes, this logic worked out. I configured without any pin with bootloader unlocked, then I locked and under config as a new device pin lock is working again.

Hi all, I'm really struggling to get my device recognized once in fastboot or bootloader mode in adb. I am unable to install the driver in these modes as well like the OP said to. I have a DQ-72 but can't run the unlock bootloader command cause the device isn't recognized. I've rooted many phones before but this is my first Sony. Sorry if this is a stupid question and thanks in advance for any ideas.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] UniquePhillip:
What is the error you're getting? That is most likely the problem, you won't be able to use adb or fastboot when in alternate modes unless the drivers are installed
[Sony Xperia 1 V] badmf80:
I'm on Windows 11 and it says "The best drivers for your device are already installed"

The driver that is installed in fastboot mode is called "android bootloader interface"

I've also tried the other option it gives me which is "android bootloader&adb interface"
[Sony Xperia 1 V] UniquePhillip:
Hm, not sure. Maybe try uninstalling the current driver?

As a sanity check, what is the path of the file you are giving when it asks for an alternate driver location?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] badmf80:
OK finally figured it out and it was just me being a dumbass. I was in "fastbootd" mode because I did "adb reboot fastboot" command instead of just turning the phone off and holding volume up while inserting usb cable and getting the blue star which is the mode I needed to be in. Then I updated the driver by clicking "search manually for a driver" then "let me pick from a list of drivers already installed" then selecting the sony a0200 option. Thank you for your time!

use the command fastboot reboot fastboot to get into fastbootd
[Sony Xperia 1 V] ericj3:
In fastboot it says "flashing is not allowed for the partition"

In fastbootd it says "FAILED (remote: No such file or directory)"
