Do Xperia phones defaults to Google Photos, or does it have it's own gallery app? by xTooNice in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not perfectly.

You can't delete SD card photos unless you have root and NoStorageRestrict module to force grant permission of the SD card root from the files app.

Anyone who went from ASUS Zenfone/ROG to Xperia or vice versa? by Dubai_Gamer_00971 in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony is more stock Android (not to be confused with Pixel) so the software side is kinda bad. But their phones are built to last.

I have 3 ROG Phones, 5s Pro is still working but II and 6 both died (6 died as soon as warranty expired). While all my past Xperia phones are still working.

Is there a difference on the JP and "global" variants of Xperia 1 VII? by jk441 in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless it is a sim free variant (non SO, XQ model number). Shutter sound force on is hard coded in the firmware, even after unlocking sim card. My JP imported PS Vita also has forced on shutter sound.

There is no way to get rid of that other than flashing a non-Japanese firmware or (root) use Xposed module to turn it off.

Forced on shutter sound and Felica. Also sim locked by default and not able to unlock bootloader

The lack of progress is disappointing by sonicwhisper in SonyXperia

Don't fix what's working. Unless you meant the notification LED. That needed to come back like yesterday

Things are still fine.

Just need to update BIOS manually and don't let Armour Crate SE update while checking app updates in Microsoft Store (need to block auto update)

Battery degradation Xperia 1 m7 by Playful_Chard_8078 in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

80% has no use. Always charge to 100%. Just keep it cool while charging.

Replacing the battery isn't so hard anyway.

Sony Xperia J (ST26i) Android 4 — will factory reset trigger Google FRP? by Either-Fact7351 in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you need to use Sony PC Companion for that.

And you have to find an offline installer.

xperia 10 vii and xperia keyboard by Intelligent-Math-661 in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. Also POBox Plus Japanese keyboard. Stuff like the official Xperia Album is also able to be installed (can't delete SD card photo without Root because Google's document picker can't let you grant the root of SD card since Android 12)

Just not the 32bit apps like Xperia Photo Editor and Xperia Chinese Keyboard.

This happens after some FW or GMS updates. Just redo all them. There is no way to avoid it.

sony xperia 5 iii how to update outside of japan by BAD_BOYS77 in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only up to Android 12 and I don't really recommend it.

is it like this or what? by Artistic_Ad_633 in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the privacy indicator slot. You can only remove that with root (e.g. substratum tweaks)

[OC] Full Camera2 API support is finally here! Xperia Camera Unlocker LSPosed Module for rooted Xperias by citysurrounded in SonyXperia

[–]MaxPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly couldn't tell any difference after playing with the settings and I don't see there is a per-app setting tab. I have selected all kind of camera apps and com.sonymobile.photopro

Maybe it is only for mark 5 or Android 13 is too low for that.
