I understand the part on setting up a chapter index, but what about the actual log for book content? do they get logged as a part of the daily log (with - notation)? Or do I dedicate a new page for each chapter? What if I do not have enough content to log to a whole page?

Re: New updates add May 2019 security patches to a range of Xperia phones

https://support.sonymobile.... OK found it, so it does look like Sony can't do it for a reason (prolly Qualcomm is not providing support for another sum of $$$$$ in order for Sony to deliver Pie update)

I would say not being able to get Pie is worse for XZs users. However, does Sony really promise delivering 2 years of feature updates outside of the security updates?

Probably not separate, but more like multiple verbal forms share the same written form/system. Not a linguist, not sure if I am phrasing this correctly.

Article is well-written to me though

i suppose the snapdragon 845 ISP helps with the processing too, so not very likely to see it backported to our XZ1

Re: Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact owners – What are your impressions?

XZP is a slightly larger phone, with a 4k display, otherwise spec-wise should be more or less the same

Coming from Z5, the phone feels like a solid upgrade. While my Z5 was speedy before it was broken, XZ1 feels really smooth. The battery life, despite equipped with a smaller battery, feels much better on XZ1 too. While I couldn't get impressive SOT because I have my smartband paired to the phone all day, but it can easily last through a day.

I like the build quality of the phone, which is good as always (compared to my old Z5, and my mother's Z2). Also I particularly like that this sports a Aluminum body so I don't worry about it as much (compared to the glass back of Z5). The screen also looks really nice, indoor or outdoor.

The biggest let down would have to be the camera, it is still not giving clean enough shots indoor or in low light. While people are complaining the distortion, I am fine with it because it could be really hard to fix it with such a wide angle lens.

There's one thing I miss from the phone, which is the tap-to-wake feature. I sent in support request, and got a canned response in return. Not sure if it would be re-introduced in the future, but we shall see.

The reason I bought this instead of lower priced XZs or other phone is the support for USB-Power Delivery standard. It works well, and the battery care system works with that too.

works fine so far for me, have you tried resetting the phone? However still quite annoyed that double tap to wake is not available (OTOH the fingerprint scanner is so good that i often don't get the chance to read just the notifications).

argh, that sucks, I sent mine to the curve too
was it within the original 1 year warranty, or the additional extended warranty? mine happened during the extended warranty period, which is essentially useless.

about a year and eight months, but I have to said it survived water theme park very well last year though

lightest blue (cyan?) is the camera sensor size of Xperia, and the deepest blue is the camera sensor size for most other smartphones

I don't understand why people are complaining about the bezels, you knew that since forever and there's no sign Sony would move away from it any time soon. Sony uses possibly the largest sensor in their phone 1/2.3 (vs 1/3.6 in some others, which is significantly smaller). Also larger sensor requires bigger space for the lens (Nokia phones used to have much bigger sensors in the Pure Views, and look at those camera bump), and the fact that Sony managed to squeeze everything in given the thickness is quite impressing. The only complaint I have is Sony could have stuff in a bigger battery to flatten the bump (presumably for the additional memory chip layer for the camera sensor, for 960fps slo-mo) by increasing the thickness by a little bit.

I like the way they stick with their own unique design (and good enough build quality), so other people knows clearly I am using an Xperia. It really does look different compared to others.

sending it back to the authorized service centre to ensure water-resistance is the point, isn't it lol

Not so fortunate for me, also from Malaysia. I brought my Z5 to a theme park the second time recently (the first was a year ago), and water went into the device. I suppose the rubber at the SIM card tray degraded so lost the water resistance thing.

I was well expected to pay for parts replacement, despite being on an "official"-ish extended warranty (got my phone from the official sony centre). However the cost of repairing it exceeds the current price, so I declined. The ridiculous part is that despite being in the warranty period, I was charged for the inspection. I mean, what is the point of offering extended warranty if you are going to charge for everything anyway?
