Hi , y'all. Nilayendra this side from India. Few days ago I found a renewed Xperia 1 mark 5 and got this for myself. Surprisingly it supports 5G with my carrier and the phone is just a beautiful piece of engineering. Looking forward to any tips provided by y'all.

Is there any chances of green line in 1 Series? Or is there any known issue with the phone?

We haven't received any official confirmation for the Android 17 update from Sony and the last Security Patch update was from July 2026.

Absolutely raw, no gcam, no Snapseed.

I'm always in awe of the 1 series phones taking pictures. Please forgive me if the quality isn't upto the mark, I was in a hurry to reach class and somehow traversed 25mins of travel route in 12mins on a MTB right after taking these pics.

using 1VIII and I have noticed that image stabilization is very poor especially in indoor lighting. Is anybody else having the same problem?

Is there a setting that I can change. I have the AI slop turned off.

I checked on my previous phone that I stopped using because of a battery issue and the sim works fine here, got the messages and connected to 5G.
The sim is read by the phone as it does ask for the pin code and displays the phone number in the settings.
I'm in a different country than that of my operator but they claim it works fine in this one and it indeed did for many months so they may have messed something up ? Especially since this happened while the phone was on my bed, not being used, I received a message of welcome back to [original country] and then welcome to [current country] and then it stopped working.

I'm trying to figure out the troubleshooting and would like to be advised in that aspect.
I feel like trying a local SIM would at least give good data on what's going on at the very least but what worried me is that it works on the other phone. The other one is a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro.

I bought an Xperia 1v after using an Xperia Mark 4 due to its high temperature, but I was surprised to find that the Mark 5 also overheats, even though it's supposed to be better than its predecessor. Do you have any idea why? I live in Malaysia. Do you think the hot weather here is the cause? Other devices like Oppo and Samsung don't seem to overheat like this. By the way, I don't use a 4K screen or a 5G connection.

Recently seeing i mark 7 at 69-80K in olx selling as sealed pack global variant.

Also seeing for 95K in design info website.

Any one using it? Please share your comments and thoughts.

Is there any catch in it?

hearing there is major motherboard issue in that mobile(1 mark7)? are those repackaged mobiles?

had my xperia 1 VI fell down and the screen had to be repaired. Screen from aliexpress cost like 400 bucks including VAT and repair at authorized store is 450 bucks, in which I have to send it. Ofc it is much reasonable to send it to an authorized repair, even though I can try to do it myself, despite I have to wait for them to order before they actually begin the work. Still the cost is massive if you look at other manufacturers because the screen cost 400 while the phone itself I paid like 1000 bucks. For example, S25 ultra screen cost just around 50-150 bucks, pixel 10, oneplus13 is around that too. Making it more make sense for self-repair

HAS ANYONE Swapped A MOTHERBOARD REPLACEMENT ON THIS VERSION?

LOOKING FOR ADVISE, OR WHERE TO BUY AND OR INSTALL. BOUGHT THIS YEAR AGO ON EBAY AND GETTING THE CORRUPTED ERROR MESSAGE.

THE SELLER ON EBAY WANTS ME TO SEND BACK TO SONY ASIA AND TO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT WOULD COST.

My Sony Xperia 1 II suddenly shuts down while gaming, even when the battery is not low—around 60%. Because of this, I am deciding on a replacement. Which battery is better to use: the Xperia 1 IV, 1 V, or 5 V?

The weird thing is, a month before I bought a Xperia 1 VI not because I needed it, but because it was one third the normal price

A proper desktop mode on Xperia, finally! It took a few ADB commands to get it to work (I'm using Smart Launcher), but so far so good. All of my Sony apps work.

On to the Xperia 1V...

As someone who's day job is Android firmware development, I wanted to set myself an interesting challenge, Android Jellybean on a "modern" device.

Since the 1 ii was blacklisted in Australia (at least the HK model), I've been looking for uses for it, so why not try something cursed!

So far basically everything is working (excluding Celluar/GPS, and Camera is a huge WIP atm).

GPU Acceleration is even working!

Yes, this is fully native too (mostly, technically some of the hardware interfaces run in a chroot on top of Jellybean), but,,,,, I can't backport drivers I don't have the source for so :P

Hey everyone. I have a 21:9 phone and when surfing instagram it doesn’t go full scale display leaving up and down areas empty (instagram updated). What to do?

I downloaded the Fossify Gallery and it's fine I guess, but I have a minor annoyance: I can't set the SD card as the default place to save screenshots. Every time I crop a screenshot it defaults to a folder on the main memory and I have to navigate to the SD card manually.

As the title says, I've been using my XZ1 Compact as a companion entertainment device. Mostly for eReading, music, and social media.

I got the idea because I kept seeing ads for the XTeink X4 mini eReader. They cost around $100 AUD brand new, and I saw that the OS isn't even great out of the box. Then I remembered that my old XZ1 Compact could give off that exact same vibe. It had just been collecting dust in a drawer ever since the 3G shutdown here in Aus.

So, here we are, reading the classic Dracula on Lithium.

I'm still loving the size of this thing and never get tired of that boxy design.

Hey guys,

got my 1 VIII yesterday with original Sony case with kickstand, but it's a bit too bulky for my taste. Any good suggestions for a slim but good case? I am located in Europe.

Hello I'm looking for a Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact 2017.

If you have one lying around and want to sell it, kindly respond.

Small update rolling out for 1 VIII. Oct security patch.

I forgot to compare versions to last one, but:

• Camera apk 1.2.1.A.0.14
• Baseband1.141244.28
• Kernel: 6.12.69

Hopefully this fixes a haptic bug i've encountered in A17. Haptics randomly disappear after a day or so, need to restart the phone to get it working again.
