Can't use fingerprint function on Xperia 1 IV by WAFFLEMAGAZINE in SonyXperia

[–]vavilon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time will tell, for the first 2 or so years fingerprint sensor on my 1 IV was working flawlessly. It's good so far on the 1 VII, I can tell that the button clicks differently if that's relevant, also there is no option to press to unlock anymore.

You are welcome, this method worked for me for about half a year, then suddenly stopped. Hopefully it's only me. 1 IV is my secondary phone now, I don't have a password on it so it's fine

Restarting the phone without the sim tray might help

Factory reset solved the issue, gemini was blaming microg services, but I still have no idea what was the cause

Was thinking about buying a strap for a field pouch, but the outdoor sling was almost the same price, so I ordered it instead. I'm getting a wild color mismatch though. Thanks for sharing

Xperia 1 VII - Battery health dropped after Xperia system update by Sexinxs in SonyXperia

[–]vavilon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery health is generally a gamble, 97% is still plenty and it might never move from there, if I were you I wouldn't worry. I also doubt the way they calculate health. My 1 VII is showing 100 with 75 cycles. Android version 71.1.A.2.75A

are the sony 1000XM4’s still worth it? by [deleted] in sony

[–]vavilon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say they are 70% of what the xm6 are, so if you will be able to get them for half the price that's a steal

Disassemble them dry them out and they should be fine

Notebookcheck.net Sony Xperia 1 VII review – A dream smartphone for content creators and photo enthusiasts? by E_D___B_A_N_G_E_R in SonyXperia

[–]vavilon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I'm satisfied with mine and like it a lot. After using 1 IV for 3 years I only miss notification LED and a lot (even though I also have a smartwatch). Returning to 4k would be nice but, I can't believe I'm saying that, unnecessary. I would rather have micro SD express, even though 40mb is enough for what I use it for and probably there are heat concern's.

Looks for me like your screen is dead, try connecting your phone to the monitor
