Hey guys, I currently have an S6 and want to make the switch to the Z5 but was wondering about the lag while in camera.
I was at the store today and noticed when you're using the camera it lags moving it around. Do you guys experience this or was the store demo just not updated?
Any additional thoughts from anyone who has switched from the S6 to Z5?
I just tried right now, definitely no lag here

I have no lag. Do you mean the live demo? Viewfinder thing?
I have terrible lags all the time. Hoping marshmallow will fix it... Viewing Internet also lags but camera is just making me mad...
No lag here.

Yeah the camera lags or skips, more so in low light. Just the interface though and pics come out fine, albeit they take a bit to save sometimes.
If you're talking about framerate, yeah occasionally it seems like the framerate in Superior Auto mode is a bit low and choppy.
What version of the camera apk are you experiencing lag with, v2?

I have version 1.0. Any way to update?

Yes, xevious was on the ball. I was meaning to say framerate. It seemed to drop when in camera just moving the phone around.
Is this and image preview lag the same?
Such a long stretch from Z1 which had a 60fps preview.
Anyone else noticed considerable shutter lag? It always pauses and captures what happens a split second after the screen pauses....

It s Software Issue but it can be in application layer or maybe lower level.
When Camera Detect the light it needs process to show Preview
this can be lag in that process.
try another Firmware
I mean try to Flash stock firmware of another Region.

I would if i had a Z5 haha :laugh: still on my S6. Guess ill wait for the Z6 and see how that goes.
Thanks for all the help guys.
Spent the past 2 hours talking to T-Mobile and Sony technical support trying to get Volte working. Basically my xzp doesn't have an option to enable Volte. Maybe someone who flashed another firmware can verify they have Volte working on T-Mobile. There should be an option in settings,more,mobile settings, enable Volte.
You need Flash oem.sin from Customized US region firmware.
Trouble is, that this region is not available YET https://xpericheck.com/device/G8141
Wait and see if it appears.

I bought the us version from Best buy my model number is G8142 (Dual SIM)
So this region firmware ? https://xpericheck.com/cda/1308-6041
Can you check what modem configuration you have loaded? To do this type this in dialer *#*#7378423#*#* then "Service Info" then "Software info". there should be row called Current modem Config: What does it read?
Ideally it should read amss_fsg_maple_dsds_tmobile_us_ims_tar
It does not say that, please see attachment @VeixES
I downloaded the Customized US firmware and extracted the oem*.sin file. This should include instructions for phone which modem config should be loaded with the provider.
But In the oem.sin i did not find such instructions to load amss_fsg_maple_dsds_tmobile_us_ims_tar
So it matches the behaviour you have on your phone, that the default modem config is loaded (as such no VOLTE).
Sony needs to update the Customized US region firmware, so correct config is loaded with TMOUS sim card.

Do you think if I flashing the CE firmware it'll have the settings to enable Volte on T-Mobile?
No. CE1 has central european providers in the oem.sin file. Still does not know about US sim and what configuration to load.

Is it possible this is the reason I have shoddy 4G signal?
Also, in the field test menu, I see there's an option to provision VoLTE. Would turning this option on solve the issue of not having VoLTE?
Sent from my G8141 using Tapatalk
Signal quality does not depend on the firmware flashed.
Every region firmware has all bands enabled and no artifical power limits.
You need compare side by side signal quality in dB (not signal bars) on different phones. Also making sure they are on same frequency band.
I have XZ F8331 and XZP G8141 from UK, all flashed customized au's system.sin and customized us's oem.sin.
Them show the LTE+ on Tmobile US network, no VoLTE
Sent from my Sony G8141 using XDA Labs
I've reached out to both Sony and T-Mobile and neither of them have a clue. Sony says volte is carrier dependent and T-Mobile says if it's not supported in software there's nothing they can do. Not sure what to do at $846 tax included, this is a serious deal breaker.

Even with F8331 there is no required bits in oem.sin for VoLTE. So it seems North America is left out for cold regards VoLTE on XZ/XZ Premium.

Thanks so much for your help I truly appreciate it. I ended up returning the phone, maybe I'll repurchase down the line if the volte issue is fixed. In the past 2 weeks I've owned the xzp, htc u11 and currently using the OnePlus 5 and I have to say hands down the xzp was the best.

Off-topic, but can I ask why?
I currently have a OP5 and it's okay... contemplating picking up the U11 or XZP though. But with the XZP having ZERO U.S. carrier support, requiring foreign firmware for a working fingerprint sensor, and a terrible lens distortion design on the camera, along with poor low light performance, front speakers that aren't loud, and some people noticing a weird pattern in the display due to the chevron pixel design... I'm curious what it even manages to do well?

Don't believe the hype, you have to hold the xzp to appreciate it. While the speakers aren't as loud as the u11 it just sounds better and the way the phone resonates with bass is awesome. I didn't have any display issue and the camera was just fine granted I'm not a professional photographer. Only issue I had was wifi drop outs but disabling smart cleaner fixed it. The software is close to stock but has some very useful features, hands down the best phone for multimedia The music app is awesome and the screen is the best IPS LCD on the market.

I too would agree with HigherSensation. I feel as though all the posts regarding the issues are far too overblown. I'm no photographer so maybe I'm just missing it, but that's fine by me. I find it odd that all these people are complaining about the Camera and Display, and yet, not a single review I've read or watched has even mentioned these issues in passing. Right or wrong, I chalk it up to either these people having a very keen eye or very particular preferences when it comes to these issues. The only thing that does bother me is how the speakers aren't as loud as I think they should be, but the quality of sound is virtually unbeatable. I prefer this phone over my Huawei Mate 9 by a decent margin. There's a lot to like here and it's really nice to see Sony actually hit the mark for once.

I posted a few complaints up in the 24 hour impression thread. The camera distortion issue is a bit odd, but I've only noticed it when I took a picture of my keyboard.
I do wish the speakers were louder... but are you saying the quality of their sound is really good, or were you referring to headphone sound?
Despite its shortcomings I still really like this device... I also wish the camera were a bit better with processing, had full manual control, and RAW. Those things seem inexcusable.
Is anyone else is experiencing camera lag when opening the camera app. It's so annoying and I'm curious to find out if anyone else has this issue and if there's a fix for it? I'm with Verizon if that makes any difference.. Thanks everyone!
Pretty quick for me using Edge Sense.
Fixed with the latest update.

Okay. So I probably should keep this phone... I'm actually waiting on HTC to send me a return email so I can get a new phone. I wasn't sure if it's a common occurrence in other U 11's. Even with a new U 11 the camera would probably still lag..

I'm not having problem launching the camera app, it's when I'm already in the camera and I move it to take a picture but it lag on whatever is on the screen after I launch it.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Are you talking about squeezing to take pictures, or pressing the on-screen button to take pictures? The squeeze has a delay, someone said it's because they want to avoid the motion caused by the squeeze before taking the picture. For the on-screen button, I don't see much of a lag.

Same for me...
1.13.401.1 ROM and firmware
Me two but it's less with the newer update
1.13.401
The update supposedly fixing the problem is 1.16, as reported here and in the following posts, not 1.13. It's not available in many regions yet.
Is HDR on? That will cause lag. Google it for an explanation.

I'm on 1.16 with my HK U11 and after that patch the camera is now much faster but I've no idea why they push the OTA lately to the America regional.
EDIT: https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/htc-u11-updates-thread-t3618362/page13
#121 and #122 said US got 1.16 update now including Verizon carrier.
1.16 on my stock U11 has totally killed the lag.
I'll likely update my rooted one once the firmware is available from the US update. The camera app is the same build FWIW

I'm also experiencing lag in the viewfinder. It's not all of the time, but occasionally when I fire up the camera the viewfinder stutters so much I can't see what I'm taking a picture of. The photos take, but it is incredibly frustrating. I'm on Verizon and this didn't seem to get fixed with the last update (.16).

I think it's CPU throttling issue. Check the video FPS. It would be less than the expected rate e.g. if you record 4k 30fps, you might get 20-25 fps if you are facing stuttering issue. This can be fixed by OTA updates.

Sometimes it does stuttering when there is high cpu usage or when you are out in the sun and cpu throttles. Very common.

Good day, I received a pixel 3 that came from Japan and as far as I know it is mandatory to always turn on the shutter sound there. However, I am using the device outside Japan, is thee any workaround for this? I am thinking to flash a firmware of another region. Thanks.

Just to be clear, did you already look in the Camera app at More / Settings? Do you have an option for camera sounds?
Devices come from Japan must have camera shutter sound, it is just the laws there. No way to turn it off unless you root or flash some other ROM.
