toady, i had low battery 4% and I wanted to take some photos of my friend's costumes of the Halloween's party but i got shocked when my phone told me that i can't use the camera and i had to recharge my battery first (( !! what can we do for this guys ?
Sony just turned to Samsung for a while !! that's the most annoying thing a phone can have in my opinion
This is normal

This has been around since the first Xperia Z, I'm pretty sure — my Z2 also does not let you take photos when batery remaining is <5%.
Yep this is unfortunately normal practice on Xperia devices.
But I agree, let the user decide.

Guys, I had the first Xperia Z and i faced no such a thing :/, so were u able to manage skipping that somehow on your older devices ?
Can somebody send me the SemcCameraUI.apk from the latest fw?

Charge your phone?
If mine ever gets that low, I'd be happy just to be able to text or call...

The 3rd party apps on the Play Store are just not as good. And they don't affect the bottom navigation bar.

I dont have the details..but there must be possibilities since it has something to do with the color panels or such. Again, it didnt not came from me, i just read it somewhere..
One thing for sure, using another app like that will somehow cause battery drain.. its a background process that keeps on running whenever your screen is on. Imagine how much juice is being lost watching a movie, games, etc. - Just a logic of mine btw.
Its just that, Sony somehow gave us a headache for that tint issues. Hopefully they will have a solution for that if could be done via software updates. Other than that, Goodluck to those who got an item with yellowish tint screens. White Balance ported app for Z1 hopefully will be done by @krabappel2548 or other great devs and it will be fine I guess because the source came from Sony itself, to be modified to run on different devices..
Thank you.

the screen adjuster i used b4 is a very very light apps, barely noticeable when it's running. of course, theoretically, any apps running is the background will consume additional battery. but in practical, the battery consumed by this apps, i personally have not felt any noticeable drain.
as mentioned, this screen adjuster is just a temporary workaround. a white balance port will always be better. a permanent fic from sony will be even better (hopefully)

how is your N5 battery life discussion ? when you turn on everything such as bluetooh on , NFC on, sync on, gps on, and brightness set to either 100% or to auto, I wonder how long is your nexus can get through since you fully charged the phone itself from 5-6am in the morning . can it last till evening 10pm if the whole day you use it for texting , facebook, instagram, chrome with 5 tabs minimum , youtube, mail, reading news, recording video and take a snap from the camera .
a humble experience from all of you will be highly appreciate guys.
p.s = the reason why I making this thread is to compare with how good the battery with moto x.

I should be more specific, I'm talking about ordinary people. The people taking pictures using N5 and comparing it to the iPhone 5S are media outlets who have had prior access to the device (or early access from Google).
And honestly if they DO have the phone then they cannot comment on the battery life because it'll take at least 3-5 days (given a week) for the battery to settle in. Not to mention, you won't be doing your daily things on the phone as you'll be busy setting it up with the apps you've used in the past/transferring data/etc.

Nothing a little Titanium backup can't solve. By the looks of the other threads in the forum some people have had the device for a while... As early as the beginning of October. No point in shooting down someone's thread just because you have nothing to contribute to it.

OT: I know this isn't the right place but...How is the back of the white N5? It get dirty fast? Could it turn yellow as someone said? :s
IT: It should take a week for the battery to stabilize, so the first real impression could come just in some days

Its lovely but so is the black I got both here but prefer the white.
The OS is the biggest change, a lot has changed in kitkat. Different ways to access different things and the app menu is completely different. Battery life I got near 3h 58 with 10 percent left from 82 percent and that's from restoring all my apps and more so I'm kinder hoping we'll reach 5h or a little more. Screen is beautiful but speaker isn't great. Though I'm comparing the speaker to a 5S which is pretty good.

I have nothing to contribute? ...... you can't tell the battery life with having the device for less than a week.
This thread is just as pointless as the threads asking for the best ROM/Kernel or threads asking when TMobile will have N5?
I'm not shooting anyones thread but its just a silly question to ask when the phone was released just a little over 24 hours when only <1% of orders requested has been fulfilled. The only ones with the phones right now are media outlets or the individuals who ordered immediately and live in a close proximity to the point that they can have next-day shipping pretty much.

One day max here - between 5 or 7 hours when screen is up, and using Stamina mode , - 4g,bluethooth and gps. And apps usage - 6 % for ~16 hrs.

So your phone isn't charging and turning on. Try these few steps,
- Hold POWER + Volume Up and Down all together for 15 seconds.... And then charge or turn on your phone.
- Try using another USB cable. The current one might be damaged.
- Maybe your phones battery is completely dead so try to charge your phone from your PCs USB and leave it for 30 mins.
Hope it helps. :good:
