Never use the stamina mode since marshmallow, as it's pretty broken due to Google's restrictions on battery saving.

Anyway, new update via OTA. Not sure what it fixes.

Yeah, i just got the notification as well.

Sharing some pic that i took yesterday using the XZ:  tongue.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

And tested the Sony heavily advertised "capture without blur", the result not disappointed:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


My girlfriend was running with my dogs (delete my GF pic for privacy), the camera manage to capture the image quite sharp..this is a one-take-image, there are few more pic about my dogs running, too lazy to do the censoring and upload here  tongue.gif

No chance to try taking pic at night yet, but what i understand is that this phone take very nice image if you use manual mode to manually adjust the settings.

Nice. I also managed to take many pictures of my son running around. There's even one picture of him jumping mid air that i manage to capture. But can't share those pictures here.

one thing hesitate, the volume button at the botton and so as the camera button.. good and bad for the bottom, but surely doubt why the button there.. easily to hit it!

On mine, previously average memory used was about 2.1GB - now 1.5GB - less memory hogging now?
*
Oh... I never bother to check memory as long as it's smooth

Just noticed there's improvement on the adaptive brightness. Seems like it's not so aggressive now. Previously it keep setting brightness to minimum even though the condition is a little dark.
Also now I am able to overwrite the brightness manually and the brightness will stay on at that level.

Double tab to wake still fail. . .

did you guys format the phone before/after update to Nougat?
or just leave it as it is?

Usually I will format after upgrade but not this time. Everything seems to be working fine and smooth on my phone after the upgrade

so how was the battery so far?
do you guys on the location service?
Did you guys use the stamina mode?

just updated mine yesterday, without formatting.
the SOT are now 15 mins at 86%. sad.gif

I on location service and stamina mode only kicks in at 15%battery. If you encounter any weird behavior after update then better to format your phone

hmm having a no of problems w my XZ dy... the 3.5mm jack cannot detect my earphones anymore, hardware failure maybe?. tried with diff cables/ headphones but all failed.

The phone also freq freezes after the latest update, prolly due to the high ram memory usage by android OS (avg abt 1.9gb).

i guess that's it for me, even my old ip6 never hv this sort of shit problems. going to sony to get the phone checked/ repaired and sell it off.
*
If u face freq freeze after update, i suggest u do a factory reset.

Hi guys,

Need some advice on screen protector.  Initially I was using the free normal screen protector Sony gave during launch.

Went to Sony store KLCC and bought the curved screen protector (almost RM60, really regret because it affects the touch screen badly)

Now back to the normal screen protector but it barely covers the entire screen.

I don't need a curved screen protector, but i'm looking for a tempered glass one
which is slightly wider than the free one given by Sony.

Any recommendations?
*
I am using a flat temper glass one bought from taobao. But there is still about 1mm on the side of the display not covered. Bear in mind that for xz, the glass on the screen starts to curve at the edge of the display. So i doubt any flat temper glass will fully cover the display 100%.

But having said that i too hope there still is some brand make it to cover 100% of the display

Really like this phone, what disappointed me is just not usual...this is a flagship shouldnt laggy and stutters like the mid range or low range phones sad.gif...btw, do u guys lag at battery level 20℅ below or 15℅ below? Also my stamina mode is not turned on.
*
My stamina mode turn on at 15% battery. So will lag when it's on. Otherwise very smooth...

Try do a factory reset and see how it goes.

i guess dont have z5p in market ady.. probably balance stock.. but price should be around 2099.. initial launch price is 3099..
hmm.. indeed.. XZ owners definitely will feel hard.. my cousin also just bought 1 XZ black before CNY.. but he is not tech ppl so is ok.. i believe most forumers over here are quite up-to-date with tech products, so this will be very sad to recent owners..

but let's us to think over again.. XZ/Z5 series it isnt running smooth currently?! YES.. Why change?! We may decide to buy or not. seriously flagships may lasts at least 2 years. What i can say is the trend is moving too fast, normal ppl's pocket money cant follow the pace
*
Yes indeed. We buy what we need. If you start chasing tech, it's a never ending game. Also if you choose to wait for better spec, it's also a never ending waiting game. Conclusion just but what you need and what appeal to you.

Tech in smartphone is quite mature now. Even a s810 is still working good as of now. 3gb ram... It's just a number. I personally do not feel any lag using xz as my daily phone.

On flagship... To be fair xperia x was never a flagship phone from Sony. X performance sees only limited release in certain country. Not even release in Malaysia. So in 2016 there is only 1 true flagship model from Sony and that's xz.

Come 2017, i think the real flagship is xzp. But that won't be release until late may or June. Xzs, i don't think it's a flagship as it carry the tech spec of 2016. Just a minor update just like the z3+.
