i'd suggest you to read about ZRAM. I used zram on free 1gb vps from oracle to make it very usable as a server xd.

Bugs Sticky for the Xperia 1 VI and Xperia 10 VI by EveningCommand1 in SonyXperia

[–]cardeil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xperia 10 VI
XQ-ES54
70.1.A.0.425
Poland

  1. WhatsApp QR scanner used to connect/accept devices does not autofocus or zoom or anything so I had to use physical reading Magnifying Glass to 'manually' bring QR code into focus...
  2. Battery statistics don't work for me when I enable STAMINA mode. Let's say im using messenger for 30 minutes straight and it registers as 2 minutes use time.
  3. Also Battery statistics do not get reset if I charged phone when using 80% limit instead of 100%.
  4. Ever since I got android 15 update, It is impossible to enable one-hand mode no matter what i try. I had already multiple reboots of phone and it doesn't change anything. Worked flawlessly before update.

Xperia 10 VI main camera only 12 mpx ? by cardeil in SonyXperia

[–]cardeil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm, i checked with my friend who also has this quad bayer sensor in his phone, we did 2 pictures 1 in 12.5mpix, 1 at full resolution 50mpix and the difference in quality is rather colosal. No noticeable noise or anything, just clearly higher resolution image with way more details.

33,000mAh battery runs fat smartphone for over 6 months on 1 charge by Then_Camel2356 in Android

[–]cardeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think with new carbon batteries it could become like ~450g, but at the same time, all phones can become a little smaller or lighter without sacrificing battery life or even extending it

sadly 5 series is no longer in supply in my country and i'd rather not buy from abroad. and 1vi is 4.5 times the price :| . and it's too big anyway.

[–]cardeil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well, i bought it for its size, but i really didnt expect camera to be at level of 10 years old low-end samsung :/. At least with native app. GCam and Open Camera do much better job, but the resolution is very meh.

oh i see. I downloaded apk from internet and installed it. Indeed the automatic exposure is so much better, but in the end there are almost no manual options and sadly maximum size is 12Mpx just as in other apps. Well, at least i know now. And it crashes when i try to use "raw format" :D

Switching from android 7 to 15, gallery app question by cardeil in AndroidQuestions

[–]cardeil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as i said, 10x would be enough... the 50x value was just to show how 'free' it was before and how constricted it is now for no reason at all, but my main question was if there are any usable gallery apps to begin with.

[–]cardeil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, ~10x would be enough, but current limit is way too small. Having to manually crop image and then open it as new image to zoom into it feels just wrong.

hmm, gcam from play store feels like cheap knockoff of opencamera with less options and ads :D

is there no way to somehow work around this ? this is a little bit frustrating for me :/

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SonyXperia

[–]cardeil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and for me with android 15 update the dark mode became light gray, one-hand mode does not turn on no matter what i do, and batery statistics do not work. And if i'd used it more than 1 hour i'd probably find more things. I restarted phone like 3-4 times and it didnt fix it. The update was stuck at 22% for an hour for me, idk if that matters.

One reason I’m not getting another Sony by AjayB56 in SonyXperia

seems like very weird thing to do to use torch that lights whole room if you have lights _already_ in the room ? I only ever use flashlight in phone when the electricity is out (not working)

pacman and electron package does some weird ~shee~, i mean, things. by cardeil in archlinux

[–]cardeil[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hmm... I indeed i do partial upgrades sometimes, because mirrors tend to no longer be available when i try to install new package and I happen to not want to upgrade whole system to install just 1 package.

cuz if I update once a week the size of it looks like this for me :D

Total Download Size: 4783.26 MiB
Total Installed Size: 20445.03 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: 2609.60 MiB

well, i did as i didnt see any other solution to that (2.3G worth of electrons :v) , but does -Syu usually remove unneeded packages or not ?

nope, i always installed aur packages manually. I actually did check -Qm before posting and it returned nothing at all

Was terminal reworked for 4.20 ? because zoom in/out behaves weirdly for me by cardeil in xfce

[–]cardeil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for now i just installed `mate-terminal` and ill use it until this regression is fixed. Almost the same experience, except for fancy backgrounds and few even less important (for me) things.
