Hello I'm Samsung Galaxy S23 terribly disappointed user and I can't wait for the release of Xperia 1 VI as I'm considering to switch. However, I have never ever had any Sony phone and before I decide on Xperia 1 VI, I would like to make sure it meets my requirements, based on Xperia 1 V user's feedback. Could you please share your review after nearly 1 year of your Xperia 1 V usage?Does it have any hidden hardware flaws (such as eg. Samsung Galaxy's S23 "bananagate" problem -... Read more

Sup Guys, My phone arrived today and one of the first things i tried after setting up was Bluetooth Audio. Sadly it didnt work. My devices are an Audeze Maxwell Headset that's supposed to support LC3 Audio. Sadly only LDAC is working, so no chance to compare. Might need a firmware update. (Edit: Confirmed! LC3 only works with the Dongle. Not with other devices!) And an Aliexpress Bluetooth adapter with a Qualcom QCC5171 chip. That thing is completley broken... It DID...Read more

Anyone building custom ROMS (Lineage, EvoX or crDroid) for the Xperia 1 V?? If so, I'm not seeing a sub for that here on XDA. Is Telegram the place to look for these now? If nobody is building anymore, can someone give the reason why? The stock experience on these devices is still abysmal, so lots of room for improvement that comes by default with custom ROMS. Just curious, Thanks!

I can't seem to be able to flash my patched init_boot.img in fastbootd mode. I can enter fastbootd mode just fine but once my device enters it and I put in the command to flash the patched init_boot.img the command prompt just hangs on "waiting for device". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I love this phone, but today I noticed something inside is very loose and shaking around. It's towards the top of the phone near the camera module but it isn't the cameras themselves. Does anyone have any ideas for me on how to fix or what it could even be.

伙计们，我购买了 Xperia 1 V。我离开索尼太久了。我想问一下，如果我现在解锁bootloader并root的话，Xperia 1 V是否还会出现DRM被删除、降噪或摄影算法丢失的问题？现在生根可能会产生哪些已知问题？这些问题是永久性的还是可以通过锁定引导加载程序或其他方式来修复？

Hi, since update to this version my device is overheating a lot. I am not doing anything, closed the apps and battery temperature is 39-40 degrees (Celsius). Anyone else noticed it?

New app version found on APKMirror. Pretty sure this is the new app found in Xperia 5 V but on my 1V I don't see the new bokeh 48mm mode. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-mobile-communications/sony-photography-pro/sony-photography-pro-1-7-a-0-15-release/

This model seems to meet my requirements, except for the breathing light and the telephoto lens. Therefore, I plan to use it for a long time, but at present, only the Japanese version has 16GRAM. Therefore, I want to know a few questions: 1. Is there any other version selling 16GRAM later? 2. If there is no other 16GRAM, can I update the baseband firmware to support the 5G network in my area, or the full-system 5G network?

Do you still have to Backup a Partition before unlocking the bootloader is this currently even possible?

Hi Guys, Haven't posted for couple of years now, but i am back again . Since i have not found a thread like it: I am planning on bying the mark V and considering im jumping from an XZ Premium which held me for 5 years steady without absolutely no issues (except battery drainage which is typical for that amount of time, lol) is a big step and i want to continue the Sony legacy with the V. So my question for the people having the phone already - What are your impressions? (yes, i've already...Read

This guide will instruct you on how to root your phone and optionally flash US modem firmware (since US version currently can't be bootloader unlocked). These are notes I took for myself after doing this on my DQ54 (EU) but it should be the same on the 72 (Asia) or 44 (Japan) as well. I have never owned a sony phone before and had to put together these steps from multiple guides. I wanted to share my notes so other people could just follow one guide. This will be good for you if you have...Read

I received my DQ72 yesterday and granted I`m in the USA, wanted the ability to root and etc., so I didn`t go with the DQ62 model, to me wifi is wifi, and my s23 ultra can pull down 350mb off my Nighthawk router wifi 6 5GHZ, the best the xperia can do is 120-130, I have reset the Xperia 2 times and also ran the Xperia companion to set it back to full factory since I had flashed the USA modem firmware, so is anyone having this issue??

I just compared strength of led light of mark V with mark III. Both are weak bur result of comparison is that mark V is even slightly weaker This is not what I expected. Even old iPhones are like 3x stronger and works without any issues. This is a shame for sony and for me a huge led down on this device. I use phone's led as flashlight sometimes
