Hi,
I have been fighting with my carrier who provided me my Xperia I.V in a pack (Altice) , because of the disfunctional Photo/video parts , since june :
after a few manipulations on the settings for video or photo , the yellow triangle already appears (overheating) predicting so, a very short video or few photo shots after.
I tried as Sony support suggested, new firmwares , a hard reset, a reinstallation/repair/fix for the software via xperia companion.
Last i sent it to my Carrier official repair center for diagnosis and repair :
Unlucky , my phone tracking's ghosted during 15 days after expedition 08/23/2022 , the 09/07/2022 was retrieved?? , diagnosed??, firmware upgraded with 64.0.A.8.82 ,and sent back to my town the same day !!
i am guessing no diag; no tests , before and after the firmware update , have been made.
So to see if there are some defective units in Europe/Usa/Asia batches , or if it's an usual behaviour for all models :
what i have done ,
1) launch Sony "VideoPRo" app , with phone full charged but not warm (little cold even)
2) i used defaut settings with "Auto" (i desactivated "geotag"(gps use) ,
3) i set to "internal memory" the folder to record movies, no streaming(youtube etc)
i put indoor (low light, T°: 29°C/84.20°F)) ,
my phone (on the egde, stalled by an object), on a table, without any moving target in its "vision field"
i launch the recording
- with Firmware 64.0.A.8.25 (Europe) XQ-CT54. :
15' to 18' length the recording "auto-stopped"
- with Firmware 64.0.A.8.82 : one test 20' , another one only 7 minutes !
And in the photo App mode with firmware before the A.8.25 one , one photo took ages to be saved (10 to 15 S)
ps: in the screenshots the 2nd and 3rd ones were taken in an air-conditioned Club, around 22°C , same worry after 15 minutes (it was one of the first firmwares in the begining of july)
Thanks
In the "Menu" (top right , in VideoPro Main interface), the parameters set (french words , sorry)
nb: i put them from left to right , according to the "top to the bottom "menu" order )

My USA version I just tried it in 4K at 120 fps and I didn`t get he Overheat triangle until 6 mins of recording, but it was still recording and it was pretty warm, but not hot to the touch.

Thanks, as also is the Global Warning
I get the warning after about 4 minutes of recording at 4K 120FPS but it continues to record without issue and it gets warm but not uncomfortably warm. I think the warning is there just to cover their backs as there are regulations regarding the external temperatures of electronic devices.

Hey guys,
This is my 1st Samsung & Android device. Bought it 4 days ago. But I have a strange screen issue . Whenever I press power button to unlock screen or turn on phone, some white vertical bars appear for miliseconds and lockscreen shows up. I'm using checkrom but same problem appears on every rom i tried like darky rom, cyanogen or stock this annoys me so much! I got it from when I was in a foreign country, samsung's international warranty is not applicable in my country. Am I in trouble
i have same problem.
its really very crappy on microbes live wallpaper(not so smooth),
also sometimes its camera get failed and i have to switch off the phone to get camera again working , same happens sometimes in video player,previewing image after taking image from camera takes more time.
someone plzzzz help me to fix this.......
I sometimes get that but a reboot usually fixes it. I think it may have to do with low battery voltage because it only happens on 1 of the 4 batteries I have, usually below 50%.

Good evening
Im having two problems with my Sony Xperia P.
The 1st one is that when i turn on the light on the Max on my phone: the colour change..the YELLOW colour becomes greenish and every image which has a yellow colour changes into a greenish and the images becomes very ugly, and i can't use full light cuz it just becomes ugly,,once i change the light to automatic or low light , then everything returns to normal
The 2nd problem is that when i trun on my internet using the sim card ( not wireless ) the signal disappears and i have to restart my phone several times and try to call any number in order to get my phone signal back !
i'm using the stock Rom ( 2.3.7 -- 6.0.B.3.184) I haven't unlocked my phone and i just bought it a week ago !
please Help me..if this is happening with all the P devises then i'll be ok with it..if not, then i'll go back to the dealership and fix it
thanx for ur time and concern
take care
The display issue is due to that high brightness. Our device supports very high brightness so 50 % is more than enough. You can try autobrightness in power saving mode. Though I hope that it is solved in the coming ICS update.
About network issues I think you should repair once using PC companion. This firmware build has got no such issues.
Hey guys i found this bug on HTC One X , not sure will it work for HoX + , anyway it should , same camera sensor etc. Give it a try
Hey guys this is HTC One X GREAT camera BUG i found recently.

Ok so anyway i found this bug when i was compering S3 vs HoX in deep , for those who missed it you can find it here
HTC One X vs S3 full comparison
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As for the bug with camera :
1st how does this bug works:
Simply , it gets stuck between scenes which i found accidentally while comparing HoX Vs My cousins s3 lol.
Anyway to be more specific it uses 2 scenes at the same time which provides great photos @ night , probably best 2012 phone @ day and Night INDEED is HOX. and i'll dare to say it comes close to HTC One with this Bug.
Important: this bug works ONLY with SENSE ( maybe miue roms as well ) and i found this bug on 3.18 base ( also working with 3.19 base ) for those still on ICS idk would it work there or at lower bases probably does.
How to use this BUG/GLITCH:
Outdoors night photos
> Open camera
> Turn off flash
> Chose NIGHT scene
> Chose HDR mode
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
> Take a photo
This bug will add you an extra 100-300% more light to your photos. For even MORE light i'd say 50/100% more light do this:
After taking the photo , go to gallery>edit and AUTO ENCHANT it.
NOTE:
After this if you see boost in your display regarding brightness = bug is applied. Take a pic but be VERY VERY STEADY , even little movement will f[email protected] up the photo.
NOTE:
If you don't see improvement from the start you gotta REPEAT the process , sometimes it takes more then 1 time to get this bug working.
Also you must notice this: When you apply NIGHT scene you should see CAMERA being LAGGY when moving , after switching to HDR if it stays laggy and gives more light = bug is working 100%
For indoor photos with bug
> Turn ON flash ( not auto but ON )
> Chose NIGHT scene
> Chose HDR mode [/QUOTE]
> Take a photo
NOTE:
If you're using Underclocked CPU i'd suggest you use minimum 1300mhz quad core, with less speed shutter isn't fast enough to catch the light with HDR
BUG with FLASH - 50%-150% more light then normal flash light photos:
Ok this bug works similar as first one.
> Open camera
> Turn ON flash
> Chose NIGHT scene
> Switch to BACKLIGHT scene [/QUOTE]
> Take a photo
Note:
When you switch to NIGHT mode you should see your camera being LAGGY , after switching to BACKLIGHT scene if your camera stays laggy = bug is working.
TIPS:
1. Try to be still when taking photos especially with HDR BUG.
2. For more light use after taking the picture gallery effects - auto enchance , with picassa / instagram you can modify them even more to be even better.

IMPORTANT
Q) Will this bug crash/kill my camera ?
A) I don't know , i've been using it for over 2 weeks now everything is working as it should.
If you guys gonna use this BUG would be nice if you could upload some samples as well :thumbup:
So NOTE if you gonna use this bug you use it at your OWN RISK so don't blame me if you [email protected] up your camera.
Thx to Hamdir for testing my bug and providing us professional comparison.
Also thx to neuTrue for enchanting one of my photos to show us what we can do with some more software
These pics were taken around 8-9PM And on the 1st pic you can see how i saw at night with my eyes.

MODIFIED via photoshop, you can do pretty much same with gallery effects or instagram/picassa

Hamdirs tests & Review ( thx mate ):

HTC One X: Hidden Low Light Abilities (Firmware 3.19.401.1)
Did you guys know the One X has night vision abilities? check this out
Ordinarily the Flash can be used but it casts the photo in blue plus add abnormal shadows, at least you can counter the blue by setting the white balance to Fluorescent before taking the photo
The included Night scene is not as effective, it forbids the Flash, it locks to ISO 1250 and cuts the shutter speed in half for more exposure time, sadly the results are often bad and not useful
But then for very low light and still photos, there is a revelation that is the HDR mode, especially when combined with auto flash it can do wonders, auto flash will smartly use two quick flash bursts to get better exposures for HDR, surprisingly auto flash with HDR does not cast shadows neither does it tint the screen
Finally a bug discovered by Shan89, switch to Night mode and then immediatly back to HDR mode, the shutter will get stuck in slow mode collecting even more light, you can also combine auto flash for killer results!
The bug mode is highlighted below with an *
keep in mind the shutter will be very slow at this point and you need to be very still until the word "processing" appears on screen (to counter motion blur),
Equally the resulting photo will fail to record the correct shutter speed since it's a bug after all
Some of the following results were brighter than my own eyes

Np mate, hope it works for you guys as well :good:
As I've said a long time ago, it doesn't work on the HOX+, it becomes darker when switching from night to hdr, so the bug doesn't work. Pictures taken with night mode is brighter than the hdr switched from night mode. Maybe someone else can try it
Edit: wait, I think I got it working
Edit 2: dang it, only worked once and not anymore... Tried like 10 times and can't make it work. It's so much easier on the HOX
Edit 3: looks like it's only a matter of luck... Got it working for a few more times

Damn , well key point is to do this when is night , the best scenario for this bug is when is twilight and a bit more darker , then chose night scene and switch to HDR , it should apply after 1-2 trys , we on hox get it working almost every single time, you might wanna try reducing CPU max speed , if you use 1700 lower it to 1300/1500 , it might work better since CPU will be slower and give you more time to apply the bug, also on hox once you apply the bug it'll stay that way untill you take a picture or untill you move on bright area.
EDIT: Added 2 more that were missing from hamdir

I did the testing in midnight, outdoors with a few streetlights. I used the power saver to reduce cpu to 1300mhz. My HOX+ is fully stock so I can't do much to it. I think the chance of getting it to work is like 30%....

Pardon me if a thread already exists for this but I have tried to search but didn't find a thread describing this problem any where. Redirect me if you know of a thread like this.
So here is what I am experiencing. My One Max is a week old but from day one I have noticed that while i am typing a text message or email screen brightness increases a bit as soon as I hit any key on screen. Sometime it happens sometime it doesn't. I have also noticed that it only happens wherever key pops up on keyboard e.g E, R, G, O etc etc or it happens when I am scrolling messages or any thing which is in Black and White contrast (May it be messages or a web page with different dark and light pictures/rich text)
Mine is a brand new Stock Phone. No unlocked bootloader, or S-Off or Custom ROM or something of that sort. Brightness is at around 30%-40% in settings. Phone CID is HTC__J15 (Arab CID and International version).
I don't think its an hardware problem but wanted to share it with you guys and find a reason as well as a solution to it.
Cheers.
It sounds like your light sensor is adjusting itself very rapidly. I can't confirm if that's an hardware issue as your environment or fingers might have preventing light from falling on the sensor.
I would suggest you to ask a friend or a family member use your phone and see if that happens to them also, this way you could make out if your way of handling the phone is creating the issue or the hardware might be faulty.
Might be you were typing in a landscape mode.
When typing those letters, your left thumb blocks the light sensor.
If yes, then I would think It is normal.
It is just how do we use this beast.

I agree. This flickering doesn't matter to me too because this phone has so much more to offer that bit of a flickering wont bother me at all. I bought Note 3 for $710 and sold it right after 10 days for $600 because I didn't like touchwiz at all. But this One Max is an ultimate phone for me for next two years I believe
I've noticed it but only in low light situations. I just set my brightness at night or in dark places to eliminate the issue.

I have this too..... Just when brightness is from 0 - 24 % ( if flickers) (by higher back-light it is away - but it sucks, when you wanna watch movies in night You think it is a thing for reclamation? And have you too that the upperside of the lcd below the sensors and front camera is more white (from the back-light) than the lower side cca 1cm by the hardware buttons? you can see it in white background by web browsing.... etc...

No, I haven't noticed any brighter spot under front Cam or over hardware buttons. Don't have this problem at least in my phone but yes flickering is something that I notice regularly.
Its not something which bothers me in a great deal but I believe we must get a perfect product because we spend a serious amount of money at the time of purchase. In my country HTC One Max is for $700 and I believe this is a lot of money to spend on a phone at least.

It is on my phone bad back-light. (on upper-side you can see more white light from the light-tube... or what is there, down by hardware-buttons is instead less light it seems like burned out)
These two things with flickers - flickers less than the back-light worry's me.
You think it can be solved by reclamation on warranty repair. (i´m afraid that they say, ... this is normal by these kind of lcd) and they do nothing...
But i will it send because we are customers, and we payed not for a brick bud for high tech.... so i hope it well be good.
Before i had no problems with htc warranty's..... ( i try to show you pictures of it.... )

I certainly believe that this must be covered in warranty. None of us paid that much of an amount to own a faulty handset. If they tell you that all units are like that then you should take your money back and look for any other phone. My brother owns HTC One, my wife has HTC One X and they don't have this faulty backlight issue then how come it can be a default feature in HTC One Max.

Here are my photos of this issue... On the web-browser you can see, that it is everytime on just the lower side of the phone. On upper side you can see more light .... On the video is the issue for further epilepsy... Bottom line is that I use the phone in dark places so, internet browsing, movie watching, is not possible on zero backlight just from 26... 27% it's seems be to eliminated... But my eyes are after that like from welding. So be or not to be ..(welder or epileptic)

One Max screen brightness fluctuations
I noticed this to be the case on my One Max the first couple of weeks playing with it. i noticed at times the screen would get dimmer and dimmer. While it wasn't ovewhelmingly annoying, I decided to disable automatic brightness in settings-brightness and all my screen troubles went away! :victory:

In your video I can see that screen brightness changes and that happens to me too. This happens when webpage or movie has different Black and White contrast and screen goes kind of crazy as what it should do and there it starts kind of flickering. However, Screen Backlight Tubes problem in those photos that you posted earlier, I dont have that issue in my phone atleast. I belive that is something you should get your Unit fixed/replaced from HTC.

Thanks, i search now for a cheap android device for the weeks, when my MAX will be away .... My older phone DHD has my girlfriend, so now i search for a cheap android device and after that i send it ..... .
The flickers .... i see too the problem with the black - white contrast but the normal htc one has it not ... so i think they should work on it ..... and try to fix it ..... maybe could it by a software problem
I newer wanted samsung because of their amoled displays with they burnout - i had this on my phone on samsung omnia with windows mobile..... and the reclamation was a walk through the valley of darkness .... on the end, they told me ... that the oled-lcd how i have it on my phone is normal ... and there is nothing to repair .... ( he had white stripes in it too - so samsung and oled is for me a route to hell)

FLICKERS - HTC REPAIR SAIS THAT THAT IS A attribute
→ behavior
→ cast
→ characteristic NOT A THING TO REPAIR SO I ASK WHY IS THIS JUST UNDER 27 - 30% OFF BACKLIGHT VISIBLE - IT SHOULD BE EVERY-TIME THERE ... ( DISAPPOINTED.... BECAUSE NOWHERE IS WRITTEN THAT THE HTC ONE MAX HAS THIS BEHAVIOR .... HTC ONE HAS IT NOT .... SO SHOULD THE USERS OF ONE MAX USE A SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT ? WHERE IS THE QUALITY OF PRODUCTS IN THIS WORLD DISAPPOINTED - WE CAN GO IN THE MIDDLE AGE WHERE IS NO ELECTRICITY .... OR WHY USE A TOP END PRODUCT WHEN WE CAN USE SOMETHING FOR 40% OF THIS PRODUCT)
THE BACKLIGHT TUBES PROBLEM THEY SAID, THAT THEY SEE NOTHING ... SO I WAITED ON THE PICTURES AND IT IS THERE, HOW MANAGE IT NOW? (DISAPPOINTED AGAIN)
SAMSUNG NEWER .... AGAIN
HTC I THINK NEWER AGAIN TOO THE DAYS ARE GONE WITH THE QUALITY
LG.... OR SONY ... MAYBE ... BUT .... LG WITHOUT THE SD CARD ....
unbelievable
TAKE A LOOK A THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OF NEW XPERIA X F5122
I HOPE THEY WOULD BE NOTICED AND FIXED (sorry for bad english)
PROBLEM 1 (MAJOR)
-major software problem which appears to be only in sony phones (since i never experienced it in other brands devices)
-everytime i connected my device to pc in mtp mode, many of the files on sd card are either absent or shown with 0kb size rendering my files completely useless
-reinstalling drivers did not help since the phone is detected right
-the only solution i could find is to erase data of external storage and media storage in apps and then restart
but the problem appears again when i connect it again in a couple of times
PROBLEM 2 (MAJOR)
it has a great camera but it cannot focus when the object is near to lens (like taking a shot of 4x4 photograph) (not too close)
the camera had to be taken far from the photo in order to get it focused (too far for me in terms of near focus)
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it
PROBLEM 3
while playing music its back metal panel vibrates too strongly to cause vibrations in whole body
and too much dirt gets into the space of front speakers (makes the empty space of speakers white, like dirt and sand)
----so i guess sony needs to make structural changes in future models in order to make a sturdy built device----
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping
occurs more when in stamina mode
noted.

You can enable it through settings in the launcher. And it only works when you are in the launcher, you can't lock it while in an app.
Edit: thought i was hit by number 5. But i wasn't, was using forced 2d rendering and that caused it to be come hotter than normally. Have none of the issues mentioned above.

Good to know, as I'm using Apex Launcher, I wasn't aware of such default launcher functionality. But as Apex is still better, I just configured it's double tab to launch Greenify hibernate & lock and this does the same job.
I got 6th problem.
You are very right. I can't believe what just happened to me. Have been crying since yesterday. I connected my Xperia x to computer to access a file from SD and I search for it but couldn't find it. I had to disconnect phone from pc and reconnect to see if i could access file. To my shock and surprise i couldn't see any files in my SD again. My SD was holding data size of 46GB but in a twinkle of an eye i lost all, phone shows only 9GB all files completely disappeared! What kind of phone is this? Am completely confused, i have to sue sony for this, this is completely unacceptable. Have never experienced such since have been using phones in my life.
All my data saved and I depend on in my work are completely lost just like that. How can I spend huge money on Xperia x to suffer this kind of loss? What do o do now?

TAKE A LOOK A THESE SERIOUS PROBLEMS OF NEW XPERIA X F5122
I HOPE THEY WOULD BE NOTICED AND FIXED (sorry for bad english)
PROBLEM 1 (MAJOR)
-major software problem which appears to be only in sony phones (since i never experienced it in other brands devices)
-everytime i connected my device to pc in mtp mode, many of the files on sd card are either absent or shown with 0kb size rendering my files completely useless
-reinstalling drivers did not help since the phone is detected right
-the only solution i could find is to erase data of external storage and media storage in apps and then restart
but the problem appears again when i connect it again in a couple of times
PROBLEM 2 (MAJOR)
it has a great camera but it cannot focus when the object is near to lens (like taking a shot of 4x4 photograph) (not too close)
the camera had to be taken far from the photo in order to get it focused (too far for me in terms of near focus)
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it
PROBLEM 3
while playing music its back metal panel vibrates too strongly to cause vibrations in whole body
and too much dirt gets into the space of front speakers (makes the empty space of speakers white, like dirt and sand)
----so i guess sony needs to make structural changes in future models in order to make a sturdy built device----
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping
occurs more when in stamina mode

Never occurred to me: problems 1, 2 and 4. I am not sure about 4, but compared to every single other device I have used I didn't notice any problems with the jack. Also, focus on the camera is OK for a 4x4 picture.
3 - yes, that is 101% true. The vibrations are unbearable.
5 - yes, although not always (eg. when charging mine almost never overheats, only with 7.1.1 broken version)
6 - idk
well the issues are now 1 year old,, but worth replying!
please see my replies in RED

its Windows MTP issue! even on Galaxy phones, the largers the counts of file(not size) , mtp fails to load. I use wifi servers on Fx File Explorer, ORR the BEST is MYPHONE EXPLORER http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

I never faced such issue! X takes awesome pix! however try the latest build nov17 , on 7.1.1
it doesnt focus even even u click on the object several times
the only solution was to take the object far enough to get the camera focus on it
PROBLEM 3

I find vibration as normal as any device! however the speaker volume was low which after rooting i replaced xml file to loud them further.. and yes X don't have IP rating! so its not dust, water resistant!
PROBLEM 4
3.5mm jack has very low audio output in earphones or headphones (very very low in youtube app) as compared to others and also the volume of upper and lower front speakers is different which could be noticed very easily
I always found it very low! so if you have ROOTED X, you can replace the attached mixer_paths_wcd9335.xml file at /system/etc (make backup of the original) // then reboot! the device will be so LOUD
PROBLEM 5
the device gets heated very quickly while using camera app or charging and hence functions gets disabled most of the time due to device heating because of charging)
Also, battery deplets very quickly (especially from 100 to 70%) even when not in use
flash FCS_thermal_Xperia_X_V.1.3.zip using twrp and heating problem will be solved to 30%
battery is just 2600mAh , no solution for that
PROBLEM 6
the double click to lock screen works fine every time BUT
the same with waking up the screen does not
sometimes it even takes about 5 tries to get it unlock by double tapping
occurs more when in stamina mode
my friend has black version, works amazing!
my lime version also don't respond to double tapping at times! specially on stamina mode!
in new line of xperia they have removed this batter draining feature!

since its your first post and I believe you have X which is not rooted.
the first tip i will give you is to EXTACT DRM KEYS! before unlocking the boot!
xperia X in one of the few lucky devices whose drmkeys can be Extracted!
in 2017 line of sony phones! its impossible (as of now)

Problem 1; I don't seem to experience this on my single sim variant, except this Mtp crap is buggy and unresponsive with almost every phone I've used from android 1.6 days.
Problem 2; That is due to the 120 degree G lens. You'd realise that other phones have a much narrower field of view compared to the XX and thus, you'd be holding the phone much further way to get the same macro shot as you would on the XX hence the focusing problem.
Problem 3; Oh yes definitely agree with you on that.
It is also worth nothing that the main speaker (top) is louder than the bottom one.
Problem 4; yes with speaker and the 3.5mm jack.... ummmm really? How loud do people listen to their music?
it drives my 60ohm Sony headphones just fine. It's a bit lower volume than my tablet or laptop, but the XX's output is more than enough. If you're talking about the stock headphones.... man you're just damaging your hearing.
Problem 5; only on stock camera app, but yes like after 3 minutes of 60fps full recording. Google Camera, Line Camera and Snapchat work just fine even when the phone is boiling hot.
But my battery is just fine.
Problem 6; that only happens when I have a glass screen protector on.
All true!
All true!
Everything you describe is exactly what I experience with my device. It is also model F5121
I also say that when it's hot in the car or outside it's worse and the device gets really hot and the screen gets almost dark with the wase when it's hot in the car, especially in the summer so the device heats up as well. I took a video at night and the device did not get hot but on this day it's really bad. In short, Sony did not deal with the heating problem because I read that they said that this update will work out but it happened.
Solution for problem 1:
Restart the phone when you want transfer files using mtp from sd card. The reason you don't see those files is because of the way android (or the Linux kernel in general) handles file transfer.
