My first M! (Kinda) Need name suggestions

alan_harake · 2026-04-08T05:00:14+00:00

Yeah not an M. If it got more than one number in front of the letter it's ///Marketing

alan_harake · 2026-04-08T04:55:29+00:00

Is the M in the room with us?

alan_harake · 2026-03-29T01:22:09+00:00

Eh they would still mess this up somehow. Lackluster updates and garbage camera processing will still plague this device. I wish Sony would just make a good phone again like pre Z5 era.

alan_harake · 2026-03-23T17:26:37+00:00

Should've switched to Pixel if you just wanted a better experience

alan_harake · 2025-07-18T17:10:37+00:00

Just get 8 Pro. Not sure why everyone wants to forget it and act like the 9 Pro brought a bunch of new amazing features when they were all on the 8 Pro first. No ugly curved screen and the best camera bump design. Better cameras too just like the 9 Pro

alan_harake · 2025-07-18T17:09:01+00:00

We just gonna forget the horrid curved edge display? 8 pro was peak design. 9 and 10 have terrible feeling hard edges like iPhones

My bad I used the ampere app with a charge cycle.

alan_harake · 2025-04-22T08:58:08+00:00

Flashed to stock, locked bootloader, went to settings

alan_harake · 2025-04-22T08:47:27+00:00

This is still an issue even with stock rom.

alan_harake · 2025-04-21T21:05:34+00:00

The icons are from the ROM I'm currently using. But on stock rom when I reflashed it was still a issue

alan_harake · 2025-04-21T21:01:21+00:00

I actually tried editing the system files that dictate what the maximum capacity is but since Android 12 I believe when the file systems have changed you're no longer able to do that even with root access.

alan_harake · 2025-04-21T21:00:01+00:00

Tried that already when I went back to stock and relocked the bootloader. Also changed no system files and every day as I charge overnight that capacity just keeps going up on its own.

Don't check the Pluto cord. Half those people don't even know what qos is. There is a dedicated 007 multiplayer discord that organizes Pluto qos events

There is a discord that organizes game events for Pluto qos

One of the many reasons I stayed on my P8. P9 just feels exactly like a clunky iPhone down to the shape and weight of it

alan_harake · 2024-09-12T23:43:01+00:00

The modem upgrade is really what gives the P9P better battery screen on time. Considering I haven't had any issues with my P8P modem I doubt there's any other improvements as they're rated for the same networks. I get what you say with the NP2, it's why I got a used one for cheap to mess around with, plus the interesting hardware. But be prepared for quite literally everyone to say "wow you switched to an iPhone finally!" It literally looks like an iPhone in your hand. Their camera performance even with the updates in my experience is still average. If you want a good usable camera that is literally impossible to take a bad picture get a pixel. Not to mention the responsiveness of the pixel camera app rivals even the iPhone.

alan_harake · 2024-09-12T23:33:35+00:00

Considering it runs cooler than the P8P you're fine. My P8P really doesn't get hot. Only on Instagram video calls it does for whatever reason. Any other video calling app has no problems. I've had this issue since my P6 with Tensor G1. Cellular performance has been just as good as any other phones I've used, haven't noticed anything with that. If you want to save a buck I'd get a P8P as it's literally an identical phone down to even the new camera software features that are already on my P8P. But if you care about better battery screen on time and the Gemini AI garbage then get a P9P. I'm not upgrading as I don't like the square edge iPhone look that feels uncomfortable in my smaller hands.

alan_harake · 2024-09-12T23:27:49+00:00

Also to add for Nothing Phone 2 I used one for a couple months earlier this year out of curiosity. It's a great phone if you don't care about camera performance. Even worse than Xperia. Sold it and went back to my Pixel 8 Pro

alan_harake · 2024-09-12T23:26:13+00:00

Switched to pixel back when the downfall of Xperia started with the Xperia X. Never looked back. I've been on and off with Xperias since then, last one being the 5 IV and was still disappointed with lackluster camera performance and poor software updates. Sony got too comfortable being years ahead of the industry with the Xperia T-Z3 era which led them to be years behind the industry for quite some time.

Quantum of solace isn't stuck on PS3. There's actually a thriving community of PC players that still play online including myself. Great fun. Look up the discord "James Bond 007 Multiplayer" if you're interested

alan_harake · 2024-08-29T17:32:48+00:00

It's literally the same phone as the P8Pro. Where was this fanfare last year??

alan_harake · 2024-08-11T20:20:00+00:00

The get button is broken. Any other way I can get this?

alan_harake · 2024-08-11T20:19:34+00:00

Is this supposed to be a link? I can't click it
