good news！
the high-lighted features from sony website are really not the as BIG as the article says, becuase all these features have been implemented for a long time with Chinese mobile phone manufacturers since Android 10....
i'm wondering if my Xperia 1 III will get a better battery life by updating to Android 12...
I'm waiting for this update because the truth is that the Battery Life of the Xperia 1 Mark III is terrible. 2% battery drain in IDLE with the screen off. I Hope they improved this.
From reddit:
It seems we can finally customize google asssitant button?

Anyone can confirm?
Well, your link is forbidden (at least for me) and I already remapped my button a long time ago. Here on XDA are the instructions. Pretty easy actually. What I want to see from this upgrade is 1st and foremost a true SA 5G implementation. 2nd...anything that needs improving let's get it done.
These two are a daily hassle that I'd love to see fixed:
SA 5G fix for USA model
Workaround for Google's broken microSd access
The LTE + NR71 combo it uses for NSA 5G drops a lot and can take minutes to recover.
I'm using old versions of apps to not hit Google's Nov 2021 mandatory migration to SAF for microSd. Google's SAF is so broken that apps only lock up or crash using it. Some phone makers are providing an SAF bypass setting that gets them Google certified without permanently losing microSd use.
In SONY website about the Android 12 update they never mentioned Material U in the feature section, can anyone who upgraded tell us about Material U and how many Sony apps that supports it

System color palettes do not change based on your wallpaper, everything stays blue. Everything else is in Material U design as on any stock android 12

Thank you for sharing this info but unfortunately that's a bit disappointing, I was expecting a better implementation from Sony
Can someone share a video or screenshots or recordings etc.
Actually I'm still on Xperia 1 but would like to see Sony's Android 12.
Can someone comfirm any changes for camera app with A12? Or improvements in picture quality, especially in low light? There have been rumors that picture quality in basic mode (point and shoot) will be more similar to other flagships out there with A12, which sounds like a sort of nightmode.
I upgrade it Android 12 and really bad. Sorry guys nothing new...
@Mazellat
What do you mean with "very bad"? Related to the overall experience or that there are nearly no changes?
Performance is same with Android 11 and battery performance improved especially for phone is sleeping. But there is no Material U like Pixel phones.
I will make a screen video for you...
@Mazellat
Well that would be a bit suprising with the sony-launcher in place - don't think they'll update him before 1 IV to support Material U. If they do concider to do it...
The improvement in battery life seems intresting. maybe we can get some more juice out of it.
Can you take a look if the camera apps are updated / have different versions then on the last Android 11 build.
Here is the small video...
no wifi calling again? such a shame

Whats your opinion ?
what should be priority ?
Fixing software related issues stability and pushing out android updates faster ?
Just fixing software related issues ?
Focus releasing new products?
Focus on new features ?
And should more broken product with more software issues and bugs stability issues get priority ?
Or should newest product get priority ?

I was thinking to make this but NO time, you made it, I am going to put a case on you for stealing my idea from my mind.
Personaly think sony should give broken devices priority, and release updates much faster, and max 3 devices a year.
With golden rule that they won't release a new product in a broken state like xperia tablet s or other devices, aka not done untill stable.
With least 3 years off updates big updates included, with another 2 years for small updates to fix issues software bugs.
You can't expect brands honestly to release new product on time every time other brands usualy have problems with that asswell.
But slow updates and fixes are just not acceptabele.
Cheap budget stuff should only get small updates for fixes, only big update if it makes it run smoother and better aka worth it.
Personaly tough i think sony should stop releasing budget stuff just stick to mid range and high end.
High end becomes the new mid range in the next year and in the year after it becomes the new low end.
Anyway i'm just being reasonable now, ofcourse i expect sony to least support their high end devices 5 years.
Samsung already working on android 5.0

4 people thank me for topic but do not share opinion
while 1 guy thought about opening thread and has't shared opinion either.
Anyway its pointless to discuss this here anyway should dicuss this over at sony's forum.
I think Sony should focus on software issue, updates and new features like they have done with Z, water and dust proof. According to me waterproof and dust is more better then various sensors like eye tracking we really don't need then.
Edit - I never thought about opening a thread for this just.that pic

I'd really like to have one, but there are a couple of issues: The screen...if I bought a used one, for example, can I get the warranty honored? Secondly, the SOD: Has it been solved?

I'm very happy with my two (one as a incar GPS/test box). Good luck on warranty on a used one, Sony here in NZ didn't want to know for my second one (I brought it broken), although they are a gray import here.
The sleep of death was solved a long time ago on one of the 4.2 updates. There is 4.4.4 kicking around noe.
Yes, i am very satisfied with Z Ultra. Nope the chances for me to go back to small screen is very much gone... Unless no Z2 Ultra in the future.
But as of now, Z Ultra is really great. never got satisfied more than this. Battery Life might need to be better but 5 hour real time screen time average is very respectable for such screen size and power engine
Short answer: Yes. Very. I'll probably stick with it for another year (have had mine for around 10 months now).
horribly glitchy, unpredictable, can't depend on it, countless small little annoyances everywhere
but every android phone is like that... at least this one has a huge screen and is rather fast so yeah i guess

YES, I AM
Except when I'm learning now how to create a custom recovery...
And I don't understand anything, I locked back my bootloader... Still rooted on stock .108
I'm trying to create a website dedicated for this C6833
To avoid any confusion between the Z1 and our Z Ultra
(even if they are pretty close the same)
(I'm recreating a new account on XDA because I forgot my old one, and those 10 posts minimum gets me very angry)
I am very happy with my C6802 almost 11 months after getting it (bought it early August last year). It is still unsurpassed and despite about three weeks before root was possible (vRoot unfortunately), the arrival of GPe got things going.
It is the best phablet made to this date; I don't consider any other device close beside the Oppo Find 7. The only thing I am worried about is the lack of any successor rumor or even information about upcoming devices in the same category. The only competitors I know about right now is the Oppo N1 and Huawei Ascend Mate 2, both with weaker hardware.
My requirements for a new device is Snapdragon 810/815, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal storage, 6.5-7 inch screen, keyboard cover as an option, camera not important (have the QX10 for that), microSDXC slot and... either Google vanilla/Android Silver or CM-based. Sony implementation is OK.
I guess next year will bring those things to the table but it would be great with some decent phablets this fall since it would indicate that the segment is alive and well. Right now, the Ultra is in a class of its own and any other device means compromising on the core: a solution that is a true tablet replacement with great software.
Edit: The GPe ROM paired with Xposed Framework and optimized Dalvik libraries (compensating for the ART/Xposed issue) make the Ultra a completely superior phablet. I have tried the Note 3 (which is hyped as being such a great device) several times and it is far, far behind the Ultra in every aspect besides the camera. The best features of it such as multiwindow is available on the Ultra through Xposed and it works great.
Like my note 7 had so many features , such as place phone face down to silence call. Or keep phone screen on by looking at it etc. This phone just seems really barebones. Even tho it's very snappy. I think when note 8 comes around I'll switch. I wish I could get those aforementioned features

I like the Lg G5 massively over the note 7 just for the wide angle camera alone. Keeping the phone screen on while looking at it is possibly the worst gimmick ever.

I wish it did have the screen stay on feature when watching a video on Facebook or whatnot where you gotta move the screen once in a while to stop it from dimming. Yeah the note 7 was a failure and it also was a slow phone (Snapdragon model) but this phone having the same chip runs a lot better. Must be better optimized. The note 7 cam does beat the main cam on this phone tho, it also took HDR pics super fast. Pros and cons to everything.

No, I love the G5
Let's get this clear the G5 has the face down silence option, and if it's packed with features, u just have to look for them in the settings, and beside all that the wide angle lens is the most innovative camera feature ever on a smartphone, what would u do if u had a pixel ?
Coming from Motorola, Lenovo, and Huawei phones, and just looking at stock settings on the G5, I'm pretty impressed by what LG included. Just to be able to change global font and theme without root would've been revolutionary to me not that long ago. Granted, the LG store is relatively young/limited -and I've no idea where it will go- but it's a promising starting point. 360 wideangle live wallpaper with wideangle camera lens to make your own (eventually), drag-and-drop touch button settings, multiwindow, shortcut key commands, as small a detail as battery percentage preference... Many of these things we're used to as root mods, and in that sense they may be boring, but to have them as part of the stock basis makes me look forward to expansions of customization in the not-too-distant future, if not by LG in their store, then by the enthusiasts in this realm. It's encouraging, far from boring!

Any mention as of when?
Thanks for sharing the info
what a shame from zte, this is unbelievable,
they mentioned that they will fix "the most" bugs in the upcoming update, why not all those incredible bugs? so, does this mean that we will have bugs though? incredible! this company is really curious and not from this world in my eyes and i can say for now that i never-ever will buy things from them!

Shame to watch you leave.
well, yes they release bugged soft, but at least they do update the phone. i remember having huawei mate 7. huawei used to release newer android iteration like year after it's release and left us all on buggy software that barely worked..
Good job ZTE!
They said very soon on Facebook I dont have a fix date sorry
It seems the update is already out for the Chinese version and it fixed the Play Store problem.
Gloabal Version should get a update soon too haha and it google play store is fixed too
Hopefully it will fix Android Pay as well. It got broken between 7.0 and 7.1.1. Although I suspect this is more of a certificate issue.
Sent from my ZTE A2017G using Tapatalk
Want a stable device? Use the software they came with (6.0).
buggy software is not unique for ZTE and tbh, the 7.1.1 update is BETA for G devices anyway. Officialy my device is on 6.0.1 with B6. And it's stable and has all the features i bought the phone for.
People buy budget devices and get irritated that they dont offer premium support like Pixel regarding software.. You cheap out and this is what you get.
More and more of the market is cheap-ish devices (compared to high end like samsung, pixel or 700+ buck devices) and one thing is common - hardware is what earns them money and there is 0 incentive for companies like ZTE to update devices after initial sale. Updating a 9 month old device earns them no more sales and only cost them developer time.
I think you'll find 7.0 is official. The 2017G version was very stable - better than the US variant.
7.1.1 is also an official OTA update. Hopefully this bug fix patch will address the issues that crept in from 7.0. I suspect the 7.1.1 build was based on the US version, not Global.

Thank god for that, and honestly raw mode for the camera is so needed as the image processing is of the worst I've ever seen on a phone for the last 5 years, and yes i do mean that. The camera is appalling, i don't know if the image quality could be fixed with software or if the hardware is so flawed in terms of camera it doesn't matter what they do.
Sounds like a moan, so just to say love the A7, but the camera is just such a chink in its armour.

its out, came through ota. im on a2017g where i first manually upgraded to 7.0, then ~400mb ota update to 7.1.1 and this came today after i checked update app.

Play store bug seems fixed. Before update, updating apps showed 'waiting for network', after the update the apps installed right away. Glad it's fixed!
'Newly added Android Pure Launcher 3' - does anyone know what this means? I see no other options under Settings - Themes.
Also, before 7.1.1 update, the zte locker showed more different lockscreen images, it seems the images don't update anymore. Anyone else notice this?
After updated to B02, I can't get my Sandisk 200GB microSD work with the phone anymore, and it makes the data network fail to connect as well... Could only use with my 64GB microSD card
You can set stock android launcher under Settings- Default apps

Those issue introduced with 7 and 7.1.1(B01) and have mentioned it several time.
Now I'm on 6.0.1(B11) and works flawlessly just like all time when ZTE released that feature with B08 for G version.
Since ZTE didn't address that issue I'm staying at 6.0.1 and not gone upgrade.

Hi guys
If you have questions about the phone, just ask
I must say, this is one of the best phones I had. I'm really happy with it. My only criteria were:
- Stock Android
- 71-72mm max. width
- Good camera
- Bonus: DT2W and GCam Mods without rooting
It has all of it, in addition to an awesome display and build quality, and just fits perfect in one hand.
I tried Nokia 7 Plus before, but it was too big for me. My previous phones were: HTC U11 Life, Xiaomi Mi A1, OnePlus 3, Nexus 5, iPhone 6.

One question - does it have a LED notification light?
@iCstyle: thank you.
No it doesn't have LED notification, like every other Nokia phone.
do you have the possibility to test 4g+ ?
there is an option to hide notch?
thanks
I didn't yet see a 4G+ icon, but 4G works good, also VoLTE.
No option to hide a notch, it should come with Pie though. But Nacho Notch works pretty good.
Hi, thinking of buying this device is it worth it, I'm stuck on this or sammy A7 honor play around 300 Mark, what's future development looking likely etc bootloader unlock will eventually arrive? Thanks

How do you enable hdr10 playback in youtube app? I can only see normal quality settings with no hdr.
I want the steel 64gb version. I had the 6.1 for a day and my big problem with that phone was the bluetooth stuttered when connected to a Cardo Packtalk Bold. No issues with BT on my QC35 headphones though. The Cardo was a deal breaker though. I'll wait until a local shop gets one in and go play with the bluetooth with the helmet on my head. How has the battery life been? Got any camera samples?
