EXCELLENT Analogy ... I had NOT even thought of this before! I guess that's why I took to BB10 so quickly as I actually LOVED the UI layout of TimeScape UI yet never got to use it.
right ... #Mindblown!
Well done! Looking forward to more posts of yours.
PS: So when will we see you LEAVE the SGS bandwagon and return to Sony?! Hmm.

Thanks man 
Like I said, the X10 had awesome ideas, just poor implementation, Sony are forever so damn close to greatness but never go that extra step to achieve it. Look at how brilliant BB Hub is, that is a incredible implementation of what TimeScape should have been.
I very nearly left Samsung for the Z5 Premium, but I decided against both iPad Pro and Z5 Premium and got myself a Sony PS4 1TB along with PlayStation TV and PS Camera, so I'm still a major Sony supporter 
If there is a Z6 Premium or Ultra that is better than the Note 6 I will get that, I keep a close eye on Sony all the time.

@Ricky d
"Battery life isn't as good as my Z3. But it will still last a solid full day. As an example, I got up at 8am, used the maps to get around the city of London until midday, sat on a train for three hours with nonstop streaming music and on WhatsApp and instagram, sat bored in the airport for 5 hours on CoC, music, photos and WhatsApp, then the battery went as I boarded the plane at about 8pm. 12 hours, but constant use. I'll post a screen of the usage later. "
Also I've posted this on whirlpool forum
"
http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z5_premium-review-1344.php
I'm concerned about the battery life abit for the z5 premium
Sony xperia z3 endurance rating 85 hrs
3g talk 23.13h
Web browse 12.03h
video play 11.47h
XZ5P endurance rating 66 hrs
3g talk 20.27h
Web browse 9.29h
video play 7.14h (though every upscales, can you turn off 4k upscaling?)
XZ5 endurance rating 73 hrs
3g talk 17.13hrs
Web browse 14.35h
Video play 7.53 (which improves by 39 mins not much effect in 4k upscaling and .3 inch bigger screen
Hmm what to do now
As my Z3 has 6-7 + hours of screen on time..
And z5 is starting to look better battery wise then z5p
Edit ;
Going hunting for other reviews quickly
From express.co.UK
"
Alongside its standard Android battery saving mode, the Z5 Premium has some clever tech which powers down the CPU when there's a static image on the screen."
^ forgot about this
From phone Arena with a source from Twitter
There will be an upgraded stamina mode for xperia z5 series with marshmallow"
@Ricky d im Mixed in the battery I have a z3 which gives me 6-7 hours + screen on time
What's your screen on time for the premium
I don't really want to switch to another phone - The Z 5 Standard lol

@Gitaroo
Timescape was first and was better by conception. As Tsepz_GP pointed out it was ahead of the hardware and ultimately unfeasible to maintain. Timescape on the X10 also had full plugin APIs and saw other lesser social networks join the inputs.
@DarkKrypt
That day I described was the hardest I pushed my phone and the hardest I'm likely to push it so I won't be doing a rerun. But for that day I got 4h45m screen time (49% usage breakdown) when I was down to about 9% battery. This is the usage screen as promised. I don't turn on ANY of the optional power saving features like Stamina mode, Ultra Stamina or queue data nor do I use any power saving apps or ritually close recent apps.

Thanks for the details Ricky D I'm very impressed
Plus I can see you have lte, WiFi , Bluetooth? ,what's app, Sony cover? , and nfc on. Is that correct ?
And you don't use stamina mode or queue data. Jeez I should get 6-7 hours screen time on it then.
Thanks again.
Clears my doubt if still get it either way lol .
Anyways I recommend you post this on XDA if you have an account, it'll make people positive about it.

I don't have the Sony cover, the 'S' icon is the auto-launcher program that is prompting to make a decision on what the default action should be when connecting headphones.
Bluetooth I keep always on, LTE, wifi and location services too, but not always connected. One thing I don't do is use the handset as a phone i.e. I don't make calls, neither over data (Skype/whatsapp/wechat/etc) nor traditional.
I am indeed on xda, but don't really go through all the chit chat, only the dev stuff. One thing I am waiting for is a locked bootloader root method. I don't want to unlock the BL to find losing DRM means no upscaling or other fancifuls.

Hi, Ricky. Do your Z5P's finger print scanner working well? Pocketnow posted a video about how bad thier Z5P's finger print scanner is. I'm really curious to hear your experience. |

The fingerprint scanner isn't perfect, it misses maybe 1 in 5, more if my fingers are greasy, sweaty or wet.
It also misses if my finger is only partially over the button, this may be because I didn't touch it like that when setting it up though.
The fact the power button between 'flush' and 'slightly recessed' doesn't help finger placement accuracy. I miss the old nipple power button, but the fingerprint scanner helps circumvent the pin entry nicely.

I'm still worried about rooting with LBL, Sony seems to make it very hard to do so, non of their 820 based devices made it yet ( that's Z3+, Z4 and Z5 )...
I'm not against unlocking the bootloader... I'm against loosing Sony's exclusive features... I don't care about DRM keys... basically If a guy bought a Sony phone then root it after unlocking the bootloader.. why he bought a Sony device from the beginning ?
The only thing will lift after this is a basic featured Android device with Sony design !! so it's better for any one with the need of rooting to go for a same spec. device from another maker ( specially Nexus as it's cheaper )...
I hope Sony works about this issue, they have the right to protect their IP, but this way is over.. there's other ways to protect it without sacrificing user experience and compromise security
They can do the same procedure to unlock the bootloader but just to root the device ( and keep the bootloader locked and the kernel intact ).. if the user want's then he can proceed with the more advanced way to unlock the boot loader and change the kernel if he wants...

No problem with the fingerprint scanner on mine, or indeed on the standard Z5 that I used for a few weeks before getting the Premium. It doesn't work with wet fingers though. The reviewer mentions about all the other people complaining online, but you'll find just the same type of comments for any other phone on the market with a scanner if you search.
Having said that, I have only registered one thumb and one finger, and I don't see the need to register 5 fingers. That's just inviting false positives. | |
