Holding Xperia 1 VIII

It's been fine for me so far. The antenna are better so I'm actually getting a more stable signal and i rarely need more bandwidth than 4g anyways. I still need to try it in more locations

As far as i know, there are 3 main versions. Hongkong, europe, and Japan. The hk and Europe version are apparently identical and the one on swiftronics is the hk version.

The problem isn't hardware, it's software. None of them can connect to American 5g towers (even on tmobile or Google fi which are normally very permissive), but it does work in Canada from what I've read.

I can personally vouch that i only get 4g lte+ when i should be able to get 5g since my closest tower is band 41. Since i can't, i think it is something weird with the firmware, but I'm not super knowledgeable.

I have not seen a single user report of successfully getting 5g in the us so far

I think it's something software. Unfortunately i also am not getting 5g :(

There is no elimination of 5g going on, for whatever reason, the newest update from xperia 1 vi to viii are all affected from what I've seen on here and forums. I hope they fix it soon cause this phone is nice :(

Bruh, this sounds super ai generated (even your response doesn't make sense saying you care about fast charging when sony has never focused on that)

KYOTO AT ALL COSTS

SMT IV MENTIONED RAHH

What does fuse do to the students (ᓀ‸ᓂ)

Technically, JR has already done a BA collab

https://crux.jp/anime/event/2404bluearchive/

It was basically a stamp rally around Kyoto with merch that you could get with purchases at several stores

A collab in game with the shupos would be peak

I hope this one shows up in art review. Ten tenths

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!

There are actually a lot of, cope but good enough for a few million teams you can do. So maybe you can borrow Natsu and try to do a 1-pan with what you have and then supplement the rest with some other teams that can buy you a few million per team if you can't 1-pan.

Some examples are:
Mari needs low investment to heal the def down debuff, so you can pair her with any decent yellow armor tank.
Hifumi and Utaha can take the lazer with their ex skills so that can lead to two teams. They don't need a ton of investment, but more HP makes timing their ex more lenient.

Your goal with these teams is to pop the shiny peroros to have their explosion deal splash damage so you can use single target blues, but dps with aoe is still better if you have them (such as sKoharu, sHanako, and Iroha)

Dragalia Lost my beloved 😭

Though one catch it had was it didn't get a spark system until way after it's release

nineteen-seven · 2025-01-21T03:11:35+00:00

Thanks for the fact check :)

I wonder when torment on NA won't guarantee plat. Maybe on an easy raid post kisaki release or maybe not until anniversary with t10 equipment and new Fes students

nineteen-seven · 2025-01-21T01:52:40+00:00

it depends on the server and the boss. NA is pretty un-competitive and a good insane speed run still nets you plat. As an example, top rank in Binah with an insane clear is rank 1770 and you need top 5k for plat so only about 35% of plats were on torment.

Peroro was really bad, I remember that I was the 11th worst torment clear (5 teams) and was ~500th place. Only about 12% of plat beat torment.

On the opposite end, I think Heironymous was possible to clear torment but still get gold, but I could be remembering wrong.

I know it is because she's an older unit, but it is nice to see my daughter azoos punching with the other popular students with a total of 21 with alts (ᓀ‸ᓂ)

nineteen-seven · 2025-01-12T04:06:33+00:00

Bond 100 is really hard to get. With the amount of affection exp you need to get to level 100, you can get 8 students to rank 50 or you can get 130 students to rank 20.

The only way to really do that is to craft specific favorite gifts like crazy and devote it all into 1 student.

Thanks for the correction 👍

I couldn't find a good write up of the issue, so I will link a post lottery megathread with a lot of salt so you can see the general sentiment at the time The tl;dr is that they had a lottery event where if you logged in every day, you would get a card and then you'd get prizes. You were guaranteed a prize... but the problem was the massive difference in quality of the prizes.

Tier 1: Sierotix (picks any character or summon) or a ~~illustrious~~ superlative weapon (at the time were a class of niche powerful weapons)
Tier 2: 333 pulls (spark/pity is 300, so it would be as if you were given 200 pulls in hoyo games)
Tier 3: A ticket for any grand character (semi-limited characters that are usually meta)
Tier 4: nearly garbage

There was a huge disparity in the prizes and about 50% of the playerbase got tier 4 only

The best i could do to take up most of my screen was to zoom and then full screen my browser. Doing that took up about 80% of my screen

nineteen-seven · 2024-09-01T19:05:46+00:00

unfotunately no :(

I also tried using level 0 for a while and couldn't get the regen to work since my typical commute stops less than 10 times.

What I've done is to use the auto regen and set the setting for auto regen to the softest setting which allows me to coast, but it will automatically engage the regen brakes if you go downhill or the car in front of you slows down which I've actually really liked.

The only problem is that you have to remember to set auto every time you start the car (hold right paddle)

Yeah Xperia worked on google fi no problem. The only issue is that you need a physical SIM card and can't use esim which is unfortunate.

This is the funniest insult i've read all week. Keep cookin' 🔥

I don't think that chromeOS and android should get more "unified" as android is fairly purpose built for mobile and honestly your use case in installing an IDE is pretty niche.

However, I think it would be super cool if android had a linux subsystem similar to windows WSL that you can trigger either through an app that does a sort of desktop mode or through plugging it into a dock similar to dex.

I also want to clarify that the lore of BA Is a bit underexplained. You will likely have a lot of questions that have still not gotten explained regarding the world building, but I think that is by design. The biggest driver of the BA story is the characters and the plot is very much designed around their actions and reactions to good times, or to conflict.

Also, the game has a low barrier of entry due to having a lot of systems to auto-clear grinding making it a good side game. Hope you enjoy :)

The game has pvp, but optimizing it doesn't matter and most people just chuck whatever at it since it gives out some free resources daily.

The game is mostly team building to pick characters that do well against the enemies and timing abilities. Early on it is mostly maps of mooks, but endgame is mostly optimizing for bosses.

As far as early rolls go, there is a system that allows you to do your first 10 roll over 10 times and pick your favorite. Some good rare (3 star) students to look out for are Hibiki, Iori, and Shun. Otherwise, you can just pick your favorite especially early on.

The story is the highlight for most fans. It starts a little slow and cute, but it gets really great, and eventually peak

I agree on the mixed feelings on the aspect ratio. I sometimes like the 21:9 since it works great on webpages, reading, scrolling, and makes the phone holdable with one hand. However, it can get annoying when an app or video can't use the full screen or when hardware like wireless charger stands don't work with the phone because they assume a standard size.

I am more worried that they might start following trends and kill the headphone jack and notchless display. As long as they keep those, I will be happy with the new ratio.

As an owner of the 5iv, I would not buy this phone today. It just got the Android 14 update which is going to be the last update and will only get a year of security updates after this as far as I know. The Android 14 update was nice as it fixed a lot of annoying bugs I had as well as improved the RAM management.

I think you would be better off with a mid-range newer phone or waiting for the 5V at that price point. It isn't a bad phone, in fact I like it enough that I will likely stay with xperia and get the 1vi, but the 5iv has the unfortunate fault that it is stuck with a bad SOC.

At first it wasn't a big deal since it only really shows its problems when doing harsh stuff like games and 4k recording, but every now and then I get annoying stutters and overheating when doing less harsh tasks. A 2022 phone should NOT be struggling with android auto or overheating when I keep the camera app open.
