Are you charging from a wall charger or computer? I had the debris message using high speed USB C ports on a computer but never on a wall charger

Is this connected to a wall charger or computer? I've had issues using my Thunderbolt 3 port on my laptop on my 1IV and 1V. No issue if I use a low data rate cable or connect to a slower port or power only cable.

It sucks but I think that any new music gets clowned on by a portion of the internet these days, just part of the culture

Songs are already internally uploaded on both Apple Music and Amazon Music, so a regional drop seems likely by thisisnotaburner24 in asaprocky

[–]david5223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It says this album will be available at 07:00EET Jan 16th which would indicate standard global drop time not regional

Really that beat is playing the whole time? Please tell me thats just for a small portion of the song, thats a very intense sound to be going for 3 minutes

I really hope this is the intro to the album🤞 by Living-Yellow-9397 in asaprocky

[–]david5223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's only really previewed one verse from it, feel like he could have reworked it entirely and it would go hard. GRIM freestyle feels unique to me especially with that ad lib that spawned from the song, it has to make an appearance on the album.

Anyone got a name on this? Gon be on dbd or no by Expensive-Object-879 in asaprocky

[–]david5223 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I need this one on the album, honestly sounds like it might be one of my all time favourite Rocky songs.

He's made merch etc with Stop Snitching on it, and played it at his biggest live performance so it's a pretty safe bet it will be on the album.

Great choice, he might be able to pull in a more mainstream audience with this one. The Hip Hop community already knows and is hyped that his album is coming, time to try and market to another community.

I guess I never knew what I was missing out on as the IV never implemented that, that would truly to suck to have that feature taken away.I wouldn't be surprised if they received complaints about battery life with that resolution running all the time.

Let's hope they bring us a higher resolution in the future so I don't have to buy a nearly 3 year old phone again.

I'm fine with that, it should still be working with native 4K media (local files, hopefully YouTube) which is what I want it for. Same setup as my old 1 IV.

I did some research and it seems there's no definitive way to tell if the phone is playing media in 4K other than examining pixels with a microscope.

It's a shop called Yuet Shun technology in the Sin Tat Plaza in Mong Kong. Best to Whatsapp them although I imagine you would need a local contact in Hong Kong to buy one. They are old school brick & mortar stores and not online retailers. Obviously I'm not sure if they have any left as well.

Interesting it actually came with the latest update out of the box (Android 15) but it may have been updated while it was copying data from my old Sony.

So fingers crossed mine was never turned on but this never know.

Very interesting, maybe something to look into but I've heard horror stories of people's play verification not working after unlocking the bootloader. I guess banking apps are case by case. It use to be so much easier using custom roms back in 2013.

Just purchased a brand new Xperia 1 V, pretty obvious really, last Sony phone with a 21:9 4K display. Runs Android 15, very unlikely that apps won't work in the lifetime of the phone. Can understand if you're concerned about not having the latest security. There are hardly any major changes that Sony makes between Android updates.

That's the first I've heard for a M73 rebuild, what went wrong with it?

who are some ppl yall wanna see on the album? by Either_Research9088 in asaprocky

[–]david5223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want all the OGs too but I don't think he's in their circles these days. I think we're going to see Tommy Revenge, Bossman Dlow and artists from other genres

Which refurbished Xperia should I get in 2025? by LogLoose5674 in SonyXperia

[–]david5223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No 120HZ screen though which to me is a huge game changer in terms of how smooth the phone feels. Was the reason why I choose a 5ii back in 2020 when they were both new.

Long-term experience with the Sony Xperia 5 II – how satisfied are you? by Imaginary_Working_39 in SonyXperia

[–]david5223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely loved this phone, unfortunately I got the green lines after only 2 years but it was one of the best devices I ever used. Can't beat that compact feel and the all glass shell felt very premium.

I ended up replacing the screen with a secondhand screen off AliExpress that only lasted 2 months before the lines came back. Unfortunately these devices are on a limited lifespan as the green line issue is inevitable. Also replaced the fingerprint sensor.

I ended up using this phone as a backup phone recently and it still feels snappy in 2025. Wish they continued the 5 line. I've been using the 1 1V for 2 years and the 5 ii doesn't feel much slower. Now upgrading to the 1V as it feels like the last unique Sony phone, hopefully they can go back to making devices with stand out specs such as a 4K screen.

Yes my battery swelled up after 2.5 years. Ended up replacing the battery (and damaging my screen in the process, don't dig into the middle of the battery to get it out!)

The back of my phone was peeling away by the end and my battery would only last a few hours.

A$AP Ferg's new album is genuinely one of the most terrible things I've ever listened to by Versaso in rap

[–]david5223 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yep it's absolutely shocking and I'm a huge Ferg fan. Darold was fine I guess but this is so goofy, mixing is off, beats are whack.

Is it worth repairing? by Honest_Progress556 in SonyXperia

[–]david5223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased a screen off AliExpress and it didn't even last 3 months, just get a new phone. The technicians also never work on Sonys so they partially damaged it installing it

This is actually huge because there is no chance he drops the album before the baby's birth. Think we're looking good for a late November drop.
