I bought the Z2 for it's video camera capabilities I'm very surprised to find that there is no AE or AF lock on the Z2 for video. In video mode the camera is almost un-usable because the AF and the AE hunts around like crazy even in decent light. see [URL] .... Local Sony tech said that this maybe a faulty software design. I'm hoping the updated software supplied with the Xperia Z4 makes it's way to the Z2.
View 1 RepliesI have now paid a premium price for the Xperia Z5 Premium, only to discover that this "Premium" phone does not allow manual exposure settings. Not even after upgrading to the new hyped up camera app V2.
Given the arrogance you (Sony Mobile) are showing towards your customers I am gonna assume you are still not going to listen to your users, and you are not going to reply to this thread, you may even delete it to avoid unnecessary attention to the subject.
After the V2 upgrade taking so long, and still no manual exposure, I find it highly unlikely we will ever get manual exposure settings on the Sony Xperia series. I will sell my Xperia Z5 premium and get myself an LG G4.
i have the ICS 4.0.3. i was listening to music when the phones battery completely discharged, put it on charging, and stopped the music, and the touch of the phone went bezerk. older discussion claimed it was a problem with the charger or the current input. but i just started playing music again when it was on charge, and touch is working fine.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I connect my Z2 to my WIndows 8 laptop through the USB cable the connection is unstable. The laptop recognises the phone and shows it as external harddrive in Windows explorer, but when I open the drive it does not respond. Then after a while it opens a new Windows explorer window with the phone's drive, but again I can not use it.
I've checked that I have the latest driver. And on my desktop PC with Windows 7 I have no problem.
For some reason my wifi connection is either very slow, or there isn't any connection. And when it does connect, it is REALLY slow, and then it drops.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo after the firmware update, I decided to do a factory reset.
I noticed that the camera takes far less time to 'add finishing touches' now, but I no longer have the ability to edit the exposure/light after I take the photo. That button never appears when I am looking at the photo afterwards? Rich capture is enabled.
How do I create a long exposure in Pro Mode? I cannot seem to get this down. If I hold the screen I get the AF/AE lock but how do I actually take a 10 second (or whatever) long exposure pic?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOn my iPhone the default camera app uses the touch to focus feature to also set the exposure. It seems not to be the case on the Galaxy and the only way to change the exposure is to point the camera elsewhere (I tried the 3 different exposure settings also). Is there any kind of 'touch to set the exposure' feature in the default or 3rd party app?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI find the camera takes darker pictures, especially in low light, compared to Note 5 (underexposed perhaps? Not a photography buff at all . Also, the snapping pictures in general seems to be slower vs. Note 5.
I currently have both 6p and Note 5 and truly find the Note 5 to have an all-around better camera. 6p but bad by any means, but tough comparing to Note 5.
This has only happened twice since I've had the Razr but sometimes when I power on the phone the brightness is super bright and the colors are way off - like it is over exposed. Turning off the screen and on again resolves the issue.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy 32gb LG G3 D855 just keeps on lowering the volume by itself. My touch feedback sound is on and just a notch away from full volume. However, the sound is unstable in that it just lowers itself. I keep checking the setting but the level is just the same and not changing.
For example, one series of tapping on the screen has the expected volume. After some time, the next series of tapping on the screen has their sound feedback dropped by itself to very low. It is fluctuating and unstable.
Just now, I turned everything to full volume and tested things out. To my surprise, even my notification and ringtone volumes are also unstable. They go very low to hear at one point, then get back to being loud again. All by themselves. It came to a point where my ringtone is at maximum level, then when I tested it (tapped at the adjuster), the sound was very low. Then after testing again, it goes back to the intended full volume.
In summary, the volume just drops down by itself, then gets back to the expected level, then drops down again. Very unstable.
My new iPad constantly loses connection to my cellular service provider (Vodacom ZA).
Each time the signal strength drops below 3G, the iPad does not automatically switch to 2G (Edge), instead the Internet access stalls, requiring me to switch off Celluar Data in the Seeing tab, the switching on again to re-establish the connection.
On receiving Apple iOS 5.1.1 update, point 2 in their splash screen acknowledges that this is this issue, but the problem still persists after installing the update.

View 1 Replies View RelatedEver since the ICS upgrade my camera and video has been problematic. I upgraded to ICS as part of the advance feedback network group and reported this then, but it's still unstable.
Whenever I take pictures or video, if I do anything shortly (such as viewing the photo or exiting the camera) after it locks up the phone, and the phone reboots. I have done a factory reset, wiped the cache partition, my phone is not rooted, and the problem still persists. Is anyone else seeing this problem or have recommendations on a fix? This has made taking photos and video a rare task when I'd prefer to do it regularly, but I don't enjoy the phone restarting and losing the picture or video I took.
Probably a stupid question, and I'm not sure why I never noticed the setting before, but in the camera, there is an "Exposure" setting with possible values of 0, 1, 2.

Internet Radio re-buffering all the time.I take out the SIM card and put it into my N97. Internet connection seems fine in my N97 at the same location. I turn on the Joikuspot on my N97 (convert 3G signal into Wi-fi hotspot) and connect my N900 to Internet via wi-fi and the Internet connection on my N900 runs absolutely smooth. I can open different websites with Internet radio running in the background.
May I know if anyone can help me with this? I am running out of ideas. And I cannot carry both N900 and N97 at the same time like this to make Internet connection works for N900.
I literally drop EVERY WiFi call after about 5-7 minutes. I get an error message "WiFi Signal Lost". I would normally just blame the WiFi network I'm on, but it does it on multiple totally different networks (home, work, Burger King, etc...). And I know for sure both home and work networks are very stable and fast. Not sure what the issue is. If I go and view the network details of the network I'm on, the signal strength is typically between -40 and -75 dBm. While in UMA mode, the phone will actually go out of UMA mode sometimes for no apparent reason, and won't go back into UMA mode until after a few minutes. The worst part is that the Home screen says I'm still connected to the WiFi network, but the top right corner doesn't say UMA! It says 3G! And YES, my Mobile Network Mode is set to "WiFi Preferred". Even if I set it to WiFi Only, the top of the Home screen says I'm connected to the WiFi network, but the top right corner says OFF and the phone just goes dead!!
I use this phone for work and it needs to be reliable. Is my above WiFi Calling experience normal?? If not, does anybody know anything I can try? Are there some apps that conflict the with operation of the phone portion at all? I'm back to using the default theme now and it's still doing it... Should I try doing a factory reset? Here are the apps I can think of that I have installed:
Dark GalaxyCrunchSMSBolt Browser w/BBLauncher PluginQuickPullGoogleMapsWeather ChannelTetris by Electronic Arts I've removed a bunch of the default apps, but all other apps on the phone are ones that it came with.Another thing I've been noticing... it will randomly lock up for a few seconds and be TOTALLY unresponsive. If I'm scrolling through a page, the pointer will all of a sudden stop and become completely unresponsive for a few seconds. Then resumes like nothing happened. And, if I'm typing a long text or email and it does this total-lock up, I'll look up from the keyboard and see that none of my keystrokes were being echo'd onto the screen while it was locked up. But then it starts working again like nothing happened. BUT The strange thing is that if I'm typing while it's locked up, it doesn't appear to a buffer any of my keystrokes! (as opposed to on my old BB 8330: sometimes when it got bogged down because I had too much stuff running in the background, the keystrokes being echo'ed to the screen would sometimes slow down and lag behind my typing.... but it always kept track of what I typed and would eventually catch up.) HOWEVER, when my 9780 completely locks up like I mentioned above, it doesn't seem to recognize that I typed anything while it was locked up. when it "snaps out of it" and comes back to life, none of the keystrokes I typed while it was locked up are echo'ed onto the screen. I'm wondering if it's during these complete lockups that I'm dropping calls?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to trim the end off a video I've recorded on my Xperia Neo.
When I try to edit the video (through the camera function) there is a bar, showing the length of the video (1.34) with a marker at each end. I know I want the video to end at 54 seconds, so I move the end marker to 54 seconds. If I click play and then the arrow at the left of the screen, it takes me to the 'new' end place of 54 seconds and the video length shown above changes to 54 seconds too. I then click save and it appears to save. However, when I click on the video again to open it (as it gets automatically closed when I do the above) it is back to 1.34 again
I should point out that my attempts to trim this video are purely trial and error as I've been unable to find instructions on how to use this function anywhere!
