3.7. About the protective film.
How to cut the film
Option 1: To cut, use the template: Attached fileSony_Xperia_T2_Ultra template.pdf (25.44 KB)
Option 2: there is a little trick if there is no template or it does not suit. In order to cut exactly the size of the film, we need the layout of the phone, or rather its screen. Just make a photocopy of the phone, with a photocopy cut out the screen pattern. And already on it we cut out an exact copy of the film.

I recommend to take new sharp scissors, which will precisely cut off the necessary parts, and not “chew”. In the end result, it will save you from peeling off the film at the edges. How to hold the film? In time of the cuts, you need to hold the film with the No. 1 protective ball down. Then the film will not bully at the edges. Try to make coals of film as sharp as possible.
How to stick a film.
Option 1: Turning off the phone, pull the battery. In bryzgalku pour 100 g of water and adding 0.5 cm3 of the cheapest shampoo (without pearl) vzbaltuem. Can measure about or syringe. Wipe display etoim solution vzbryznuv bit, bit and turning the display into the ceiling surface, so that the water drains out. Wipe X / B with a cloth, to nebylo any dust particles. We are blown away if left. And delaminate the film immediately sprinkled on the adhesive layer to our solution. Putting a film to the display, and start its geometrically aligned relative to the smooth starting phone card, forcing our solution of water and shampoo. When extruding a credit card can be wrapped in a dry cloth to absorb residual water squeezed out. The film will be a long time to swim and you have time to level it. After all the solution squeezed out, and this can be seen at an angle to the light prilomleniya. Taking the wife or mother dryer, and a distance of 0.5 m starting dry (air should not be too hot, only warm prosushki- After 10 minutes, we see that the edge with white dots (poorly adhered) -. Is normally decomposable bodies. let dosyhaet in a dry warm place, such as a desk. after an hour and 2 again smooths the edges holding the finger so as not to move the film. The film is completely dry after 1-2 days. The ACC can be placed immediately after drying, hair dryer and can immediately turn the bodies. So you ideally nakleyannaya film without pupyrishek and distortion. What I ve I ate, but that so perfectly as I have no one succeeded. Oh, I forgot, after drying, the phone will be a little divorced from shampoo, but it is wiped and everything is OK.
Option 2: Include in the bathroom hot water and close the door for 5 minutes, to go off with a gadget and film, unpack it but do not shoot anything yet, wipe the screen with microfiber cloth, which included the film. Then wash it, make sure that neither the screen nor the rag no hairs, dust, crumbs and other things, wet (but not much) with a cloth wipe the screen. Carefully kleite film - because of the water it can be moved, but the water can not overdo it, otherwise you can "drown" gadget. After the procedure, with the help of a plastic card and a piece of dry cloth expels water and bubbles from under the film - it is necessary to collect the water right at the exit to the housing does not become numb. After that, the last layer of the film shoot and ready. Perhaps the emergence of divorce - the next day they will be. I can only add that the entire screen is not necessarily watering can in the center punish some water. And when applied the film she will be spread around the edges, but the effect is the same, and a bunch of ways.

The topic often pops up questions about the T2 camera. Trying to compare it with mirrors, with cameras of other smartphones. Please, before posting your post about the camera, read the following. Posts of the type: "Smart camera", "Camera - a rare fu", "But on the Xxxxxx, the camera is better" -will be deleted! Questions, comments, comments, suggestions in comparison - in a personal.
So, about the camera.
3.9.1. Review from 3D-news
Original -here. The rear camera of the T2 Ultra, in comparison with the Z Ultra, has grown - from eight megapixels to the flagship thirteen - and has acquired an LED flash. The front camera is content with a 0.9 megapixel sensor. Despite the high sensitivity to light, it will be used only with sufficient light. Otherwise, the picture is covered with a generous layer of digital noise and becomes almost inaccessible for perception.
Appearance of the camera

The viewfinder of the camera does not differ from that in other Xperia smartphones, for example in Z1. The T2 Ultra has standard functions for digital cameras and settings, such as manual adjustment of exposure, white balance; geotagging and face recognition. In addition, in the camera application there are functions of augmented reality AR Effect and Info-eye. We already told about them in the Z1 review, therefore we will not repeat. Of course, the smartphone can shoot panoramas and record high-definition video.
Daylight. Left T2, right Z1.

When shooting well-lit scenes, the T2 Ultra behaves well. Photos turn out saturated, contrasting, with realistic colors. True, more or less decent (with a stretch) sharpness in the center of the frame drops significantly to the edges of the picture - they are frankly “soapy.” Automation copes well with the selection of optimal shooting parameters - there is no need to switch to manual mode.
Dusk. Left T2, right Z1.

If the light is not enough, the automatics will still try to “correctly” expose the photo, overstating the photosensitivity. As a result, digital noise is generated in the image, which the image processor is struggling hard with. Hence the drop in detail. However, it is within acceptable limits.
In the dark. Left T2, right Z1.

Perhaps the main remark to the work of the camera “Ti-tu” is about the thoughtfulness of the automatic focusing system in the dark. In low light conditions, the smartphone is not sharpened at the first attempt, but let us give it its due, it does so quite accurately. Marriage percentage minimized.

In more favorable conditions for shooting, the camera focuses on the object much faster. One run of the focusing element is enough - and the camera hits right on target. The minimum focusing distance of the rear camera is quite small - with the help of Xperia T2 Ultra you can take a kind of macro photography. In general, the gadget's camera is decent, although by the standards of these flagships it is rather weak - from 13 megapixels they usually expect a better result.
3.9.2. Test number 1: Check the quality of the image depending on the light conditions and the use of flash.
Shooting conditions
1. Mode: manual shooting, 13 Mpx.
2. Scene: no scene.
3. Distances to the photographed objects: 200 mm.
4. Illumination:

Subjectively: color rendition and quality are best manifested in natural light using a flash, however, one should not forget about the reflection and exposure of parts of a photo from a flash.
3.9.3. Test number 2: Check "macro" shooting:
Shooting conditions
1. Mode: manual shooting, 13 Mpx.
2. Scene: no scene.
3. Distances to the photographed objects: 70 mm.
4. Illumination:
4.1. Measurement in the direction of the light source: Fluorescent lighting: 273 lux.
4.2. Measurement in the direction of the photographed objects: Luminescent lighting: 40 lux (apparently, part of the world is blocked by the apparatus due to the smaller distance to the objects).
5. Environment: Office space, 8 meters to the windows, sunny day, shooting time 11:20, camera fixing - manual.
6. Flash: fill.

Subjectively: excellent quality for the camera of a smartphone with a fixed lens (that is, an unchangeable focal length). Thus, the "macro" is very conditional here, but the objects of millimeter magnitude (and even less) are quite clearly visible.
3.9.4. Test # 3: Comparison of Sony Xperia T2 Ultra and LG Optimus Vu cameras. Photos are presentedrazrivatel
IXBT camera overview
LG Optimus Vu is equipped with two units of digital cameras. The way relieves the front camera, I liked it even more than the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, although perhaps it is just so well matched shooting conditions. In any case, the 1.3-megapixel module makes very good pictures and is quite suitable for the organization of video and for shooting yourself in the landmark in the background. Even the text to convey this module is turned on forces. This is even more convenient to do it, because you can control the shooting using the hardware volume keys on the side of the device. That is, the camera shutter release can be carried out not only by pressing a virtual button on the screen, but also on the side of the hardware key, even if not specifically allocated. Very convenient solution, and perhaps even better, than the punch another additional button for camera control. By the way, the camera proved to be very sensitive and perfectly pulls brightness even in conditions with limited daylight.
The module main (rear) camera equipped with 8 megapixel sensor and feedback-illuminated (BSI). Much will not extol the quality of the images with the help of this camera - it is not. But too bad it is not called - LG Optimus Vu camera produces average quality of shooting. Do not like the way in winter conditions, with lots of white round, automatic white balance sometimes fails, and the image goes into open blue. Like BSI-sensor sensitivity in low light conditions.
Thanks to the built-in autofocus function, closely located objects, as well as text from paper or monitor screen, are perfectly captured by the camera, which is an important factor.
The LG Optimus Vu camera can shoot video in Full HD resolution, but when viewing such a video, black bars appear on the screen of the smartphone above and below because of the inconsistency of the aspect ratio. Therefore, the factory settings are initially set for shooting with a resolution of 14401080, and this video when viewing takes up exactly the entire screen area. The video is saved in MP4 (video: MPEG-4 AVC [email protected], sound: AAC-LC 156 kbps, 96.0 kHz, 2 channels).
The camera's application is rich in settings: you can attach geotags to pictures, turn on face and smile recognition, improve pictures using HDR technology, play with preset additional effects, switch the camera to burst mode, and even control voice shooting: it’s easy to take a picture utter "chiz".

What can I say. Whether you have an unsuccessful photo with Vu turned out, or I reacted biasedly, but the only thing I don’t like in the photo from T2 is the excess yellow (and then, I don’t know the shooting conditions - lighting, for example). sections of photos near. Strongly did not choose - that's what happened (on the left side of Vu, on the right side, respectively, T2)
Comparison

In my opinion, as I said above, the quality, clarity and contrast of Sony clearly wins. About color reproduction, yet will not speak, because the picture with Vu made more vertically, so the outbreak longer highlighted the subject - it can be clearly seen on the fragment with Sony inscription (in the photo with Vu reflected light back into the lens, as in the photo with T2 - left side). Once again the comparison is not to dispute, but just for fun. Shows these pieces of three different people - view is clear - the right pieces - better. The left has never chosen)

Seven tips from a professional photographer taking pictures on a smartphone
Attached Image
We recently met with renowned photographer Paul Steele and asked for some important tips that would help our users get the most out of their camera on Sony Xperia smartphones. Let's look at these valuable tips and, of course, great photos.
Tip 1 - Reflections
Look for reflections. Reflections can turn what you find boring into an interesting picture. Use not only the reflections in the windows or in the waters of the lake, try to look in the puddles on the asphalt after the rain or catch a reflection in someone's glasses.
Attached Image
Tip 2 - Angles
Be creative and try unusual angles. Lie on the floor or point the camera up. You will be amazed how your picture will change if you just sit down or get down on your knees.
Attached Image
Tip 3 - Lines
Look carefully around and look for patterns and lines — they can be made up of buildings, a landscape, or people. By combining unusual angles with sharp, sharp lines, you can get a great shot.
Attached ImageAttached Image
Tip 4 - Light
Scenes with poor lighting can be difficult to shoot, so try using the light from the windows - often this gives the photo a feeling of fantastic, mysterious. Try to focus on the dark areas of the subject; this technique will automatically improve the bright areas of the picture (focusing on the bright areas will make the darker elements even darker, because the camera is trying to correct the excessive (over-) exposure of the bright areas.
Attached Image
Tip 5 - Focus
Try to move the focus point to another area of ​​the image. Usually when photographing animals you want to focus on the eyes. But look at this photograph, her focus on the dog's nose, not on the eyes, it gives the image and attractiveness of sweetness, and even think that you can hear a dog sniff. The same technique is effective for capturing colors: try not to focus on the closest flower, and select the next - away; Xperia using this can be done by configuring manual focus cameras, and then just put your finger on the screen, the object to be in focus.

Tip 6 - Composition
Move the main subject to the edge instead of placing it in the center of the frame. This will make the photo more interesting, and you will force the viewer to look at the photo completely, showing, for example, that not only the boat exists, but something around it. Approaching the composition creatively, you will get brighter pictures and be able to tell the whole story - it is much better than you would just show something in the center of the frame.

Tip 7 - Objects
Look around: old things, signs, houses, doors, toys, flowers and faded leaves - all this can be an idea for great photography. No need to go far - just look carefully at the things around you.

Start taking pictures on your smartphone correctly

The tips that you read below will suit everyone, absolutely everyone. Because it does not fotka on a smartphone, just lazy. Well, the man who could not keep up with new technologies and stayed with a mobile phone of the 90s. Guys, nobody condemns you. Sometimes it is interesting to me to photograph a person with an old telephone, pictures are very atmospheric. Well, I myself love to click on your iPhone, see pictures from my smartphone.
Tip 1:To avoid any distortion of the image never use zoom on a smartphone camera. Any, the slightest use approach can lead to a global deterioration of image quality. If you want to take a picture on your smartphone to an item, it is advisable to get closer to him. Well, if you can not get closer, take a picture without zoom, at the end of it all, you can simply cut the image is cropped and the fragment that is important to us. Well, if the object is closer to you then you can get a better detail of the object in the picture.
Tip 2:This item, in fact, is not mandatory, but it is worth mentioning. You need to follow the lens on your smartphone. Do not scratch, although it is not quite important, in the future I plan to conduct some experiment, just for the "clean". Well, in general, follow the smartphone. Any dust can play a bad joke, it's a phone.
Tip 3:Do not neglect multiple frames. Take a picture on the smartphone several times the object you need. The fact is that each time you press the shutter button, you can get fundamentally differently exposed frames. Of the few, choosing the best is easier than accepting the result that came out. Oh, he is not always perfect, trust me!
Tip 4:The whole problem of smartphones is that it shoots poorly in low light conditions. Therefore it is worth considering this moment. Of course, if you go to the museum, but you will need to take care of the flash, though it is not quite perfect, but still. Well, with super bright sun and in the shade, you will not get well-exposed images. That is the physics of the device.
Tip 5:The most important advice, go to the settings and set all the parameters to the highest. So what if it takes up more space, but the quality will be better. What is important today? Saving physical space on a smartphone or the quality of your shot?
Tip 6:Many ignore the various creative modes. But in vain, you are an amateur or not, just want to get an interesting snapshot. So what's the problem? Find these modes and take pictures on your smartphone as you please. For example, at night you need to take a picture in the “night shooting” mode, which will allow you to get a better shot of the image, while increasing the ISO value.
Tip 7:Well, if you want to join the circle of photo lovers with your smartphone, then feel free to set up a photoshop, light-room and edit pictures as you like. Often, even with the worst quality picture, you can squeeze the maximum creative work. It all depends on the desire, skills and abilities.
Tip 8:Final advice can be found only in practice, practice and more practice. Of course, under the condition that you want to learn how to take pictures in the smartphone better than he is at the moment. Everything is possible. Also, you should take an interest in literature on the topic, where you will be able to understand the operation of equipment, to understand what exposure, composition, ISO, aperture, shutter speed and more. You understand that no most expensive camera will not turn you into a professional photographer, so go for it. Main training, patience and practice. And not to be unfounded, predlgayu to view a few photos that were taken on a smartphone.

How to photograph a smartphone? How to make high-quality shooting smartphone?

In recent years, more and more people, when buying a smartphone, try to choose models with a good camera in order to be able to use it also as a camera. Indeed, modern mobile phones are so advanced that with a high-quality camera, now everyone can, using them, take interesting moments of life to impress with photos and videos of their relatives, friends and acquaintances.
However, the majority of smartphone users do not think about how to photograph properly in order to get high-quality images and as a result their “screenshots” are terrible. Many people believe that the quality of photos taken by a smartphone depends only on the number of megapixels of the camera installed on it. They are sure that the more megapixels, the higher the quality of photos. In fact, this is not entirely true.
The number of megapixels indicates how large a photo can be printed without causing damage to its quality. For example, if your smartphone has a 2 megapixel camera, then you can print a high-quality photo with a size of only 6x4 cm, and having a smartphone with a 16 megapixel camera you can print a sufficiently large photo with a size of 8x11cm. The number of megapixels is not what the quality of images depends on.
For comparison, the flagship model of HTC smartphones equipped with a camera 16Mp, Sony and Nokia - Camera 12 MP, and the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 camera has just 8MP. Meanwhile, we all know that the most vivid and clear images are obtained on smartphones Apple and Samsung companies and the photos made the latest models of HTC smartphones, Sony and the Nokia, have a color imbalance and look a little strange. Therefore, to treat them on a par with the resulting image of the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3, equipped with 8MP camera, while it is impossible.
The quality of photos taken by a smartphone depends on a number of factors, among which the perfection of the image sensor, the number of lenses and the number of apertures have a decisive role. Therefore, how good the camera is can not be determined only by the number of megapixels. To find out, you need to take a few pictures and look at what happened.
To get a high-quality picture you need to properly configure the camera. These settings include white balance, exposure, focus and ISO. However, smart phones are called “smart” phones because they are able to determine the correct settings themselves and the user no longer needs to worry about it. Nevertheless, there are several rules that will help to significantly improve the quality of photos taken by a smartphone:
1. In modern smartphones, when photographing, it is better not to use a digital ZOOM. The maximum shooting angle improves sharpness and helps build composition. The more ZOOM, the greater the likelihood that camera shake will affect the quality of photos. If you want to take a picture of something closer, better go to him. The closer the object, the better the picture. Close-up shots are always more interesting.
2. Light - the key to everything. Avoid contamination of the camera lens, and be careful not to scratch it, but before photographing always wipe it with a soft clean cloth. Normal shots can be obtained only in good light, so interesting and important for you to do a photo shoot better day on the street. However, this should not be allowed out of direct light on people's faces. This can create harsh shadows, or the illusion of strabismus. When the face is not exposed to direct sunlight, the natural beauty is shown in the pictures.
If the light source is in front of the lens, do not forget to turn on HDR mode. The task of the HDR technology is to bring the frame as close as possible to the kind in which it is perceived in reality by the human eye. Therefore, it is indispensable when shooting scenes where bright areas are combined with deep shadows.
When photographing, try to avoid sudden light transitions, and when shooting portraits it is best to choose a place by the window where ambient light falls from the street. This will give the face a pleasant softness and naturalness, and to build the desired composition, take several pictures at once. Making a series of photos, you can choose the highest quality among them.
3. Use the maximum possibilities of the camera. Do not skimp on the size of the photos, if you want to get the best quality images. Set the "image quality" and "resolution" on the highest settings. In the setting of smartphone cameras have many functions, do not forget to use them. For example, if you want to rent a moving object, the settings set "sport mode", which will make it possible to avoid a blurred picture. A shooting in a dark place is best to include a "night mode" to increase the shutter speed. The more you experiment with the settings, the better you will understand the behavior of the camera and the better your pictures will turn out.
4. Edit photos using applications. To date, the choice of applications for camera smartphones is so great that it is impossible to list them in one article. But they are all designed to get a quality result. Experiment with photo editing applications and shoot your camera more often, honing your skills.

3.11. Reviews
Here will be placed all the links to user reviews, decorated by items.
Terms of the review.
We copy the points below and supplement them with our attitude towards them. If something does not "fit" in the meaning of any item - it is not forbidden to add your own. After them you can add your overall impression of the device.
1. Battery.
2. Screen.
3. Camera.
4. OS and Software.
5. Communications (GSM, GPS, Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth ...)
6. Memory.
7. Execution (material, build quality, connectors, memory cards ...)
I'll start with myself, as an example:
Review Danas7777
The smartphone is already six months.
1. Battery.Just 5 out of 5 points. No complaints. I use the device very actively, turned off, perhaps, only Bluetooth. Surfing, calls, books, games ... exactly a day (about 9-10 hours) even with constant use of GPS (because of the specifics of the work, a special program is installed in the background - it eats twice as much screen size). In the weekend mode - a day or two, depending on the intensity of use.
2. Screen.Pleasant color range for me, responsive, and size was one of the main criteria when choosing.
3. Camera.
3.1. Camera (photo mode). Personally, I'm fine. And the pictures themselves, and applications to the camera delight. There are questions to shootings in the twilight and darkness (although some of them are solved by the settings), but, from my point of view, it is impossible to demand twilight-night super-pictures from even a non-flagship smartphone.
3.2. Camera (video mode).Focusing in video mode was lost several times during the shooting process and was not restored until the shooting was restarted.
4. OS and Software. It is very pleased with the shell. One of the few pre-installed shells that allows applications to create folders. Like the Smart Connect app. Once configured and all connections are handled by themselves. The keyboard sometimes hung for a couple of seconds. Now, on Android 5.0, the problem would LIKE be gone. I consider (albeit an insignificant) minus a rather laborious (closed) access to obtaining root-rights, etc.
5. Communication. There are no complaints about the radio module - the connection is stable and of high quality. Periodically, even at work I turn off Wi-Fi, because after 4G it turns out much faster. The Wi-Fi receiver itself is sensitive - it takes well even a weak signal, it does not “fall off”. I have an MTS operator and the coverage of 4G does not grieve - in the city and suburb there is a steady signal everywhere.
6. Memory.
6.1. RAM.One gigabyte is really not enough. However, about 70 third-party programs are currently installed, although the heaviest are about two hundred megabytes (of course, this is without a cache), and despite the fact that about 20 percent of them are constantly hanging in the background, slowdowns are noticeable only after exiting games within 30-40 seconds. Really faced with a lack of memory when he put a few heavy games (Heroes III HD, for example). The situation with lags noticeably improved on LolliPop'e.
6.2. Sd cardIt is worth Sonya 32 GB. It was bought along with the phone, that is, it has been working for half a year without any complaints.
7. Execution. On the front side there is no problem, but the back cover, even with constant use cover covered with micro-scratches (probably due to dust between the gadget and the cover). The front grille speaker and microphone quickly clogged. Butt plug until normal. The protective piece of glass in the main camera is also pretty worn out, but the picture quality does not seem to affect (IMHO). Connectors, here - pleased with the presence OTG (periodically use a mouse and a USB flash drive). Very widely used USB and audio jack - often yank, and to break the time (smart phone in a jacket pocket - a wire from the headphones is constantly on the move and bend in all planes, the power cord (and OTG) is also very is not stationary), but so far no problems pah-pah-pah.
8. Android 5.0 Lollipop. I did not wait for the Russian candy. I installed the same Taiwanese (details in Firmware ). Filled all the same software that was previously. I will not throw screens - they are already full. Five really much Kitkata nimble. Of the minuses far only two have noticed - in the list of running applications "close all" for some reason moved to button up, which is less convenient (but visually displays the running applications more fun) and there is no indicator in the memory section of the settings application. According to material design until a contradiction - something like that - is not present (more on the positive side), help topics - Adjusts until visual for themselves. The settings menu has changed slightly (by me, was cute and comfortable whether that is purely subjective). Liked notification on the lock screen - includes the body and once you see what to look for. There was a restart point by pressing and holding the off button.
And finally, my opinion. If the choice again became like six months ago - taking into account the experience of use, I would again take the T2 Ultra LTE. The device is worth the money.Danas7777
Gufaka Review
1. Akum is good

3.12. Poll results.
3.12.1. Are you satisfied with the camera of your smartphone?
3.12.1.1. Results.
Attached Image
3.12.1.2. Findings.
According to the survey clearly shows that the vast majority of users satisfied with the quality of the camera PHABLET - more than 93%, with almost a third of them are completely satisfied with it, and the rest are satisfied, but they believe that it could be better. Of the 31 surveyed only two are not happy with the camera. I can assume any smartphone camera to excessive requirements (there were attempts to compare it with the SLR, unwillingness to understand that the lack of a fully functional lens also imposes prints) or (nothing personal) - not the straight arms.
Conclusion: The Sony Xperia T2 Ultra camera is quite decent, but the person always seeks and wants more.
3.12.2. Are you satisfied with the pre-launcher?
3.12.2.1. Results.
Attached Image
3.12.2.2. Findings.
So, apparently, the launcher of only one of the respondents is not satisfied (it was as much as 3%). Most (almost 74%) of the rest are quite pleased with Sony's launcher. Equally (more than 11%) divided those who always use third-party launchers for one reason or another, and those who just love to constantly change the design.
Conclusion: Sony has done enough for the non-flagship smartphone launcher. There are downsides, but not critical enough to rush in search of a replacement.
3.12.3. Android 5.0.2.
3.12.3.1. Results.

3.12.3.2 Conclusions.
So, what are the conclusions? And the conclusions are simple.
1. Most of the people (77%) are quite satisfied with the new Material Design interface, and more than half (53%) of the respondents found it pretty for themselves.
2. Speed. Here it is more difficult - the majority (76%) either did not notice the difference (41%), or thinks that the Candy is faster (35%). However, the method of flashing is not considered here. Based on my personal experience, I can say that there are fewer complaints about performance among those who put the update through Flashtool with loss of data and settings.
3. The majority (71%) are waiting for the upgrade to 5.1, where, in theory, all the jambs and bugs will be eliminated. Absolutely the system does not suit anyone. 30% either have already rolled back (12%), or are thinking (18%).
4. Ergonomic. More than half (59%) believe that some innovations have become better, and the rest have become less convenient. At the same time 29% found the system more convenient Kitkat. Thus, "the patient is more alive than dead," but, again, all hopes of renewal.
General conclusion. In the overall standings, about a little less than a third (29%) of the respondents are completely satisfied with the system, but at the same time everyone is either waiting for the new system, or they want to roll back to the old one. From which it follows that if you have not yet updated to 5.0.2 and are hesitant in making a decision, then it makes sense to wait for the update to 5.1.0 in order not to have hemorrhoids with a rollback, if you suddenly do not like it. Then read the reviews and only then make a decision.
Naturally, due to the small number of voters, there are certain errors that should be kept in mind.
3.12.4. Battery operation on Android 5.0.2.
3.12.4.1. Results.
Attached Image
3.12.4.2. Findings.
If you look at the survey results, then, strictly speaking, the conclusions are simple.
1. 41 percent of users are confident that the smartphone began to work longer, and 50 - that as well. That is, at least - not worse.
2. The minimum power consumption mode: The overwhelming majority (91%) declares that the smartphone has been working longer than a day, almost 70% of them say that it takes much longer.
3. Maximum power consumption mode: Almost all users fluctuate in the area of ​​the day - a third considers it less, a third - more, and a third - that the battery supports the life of the smartphone for about a day.
4. The mode of "cruising" power consumption: Exactly half of the users use the phone for much more than a day without recharging, and, still a third, a little more than a day. The rest are more or less evenly divided at the time from “day” to “just enough for a day”, which means that the “cruise mode” is different for everyone.
Summarizing, we can say that a smartphone with a sufficiently powerful processor and a huge screen for a phone has an excellent battery and the transition from Kitkat to Lolipop has not only not worsened, but, in the opinion of 41 percent of the respondents, has also improved the situation.
3.12.5. Do you have any “plugging” and / or poor sound quality of a regular player?
3.12.5.1. Results.
Attached Image
3.12.5.2. Findings.
Based on the survey, we can draw the following conclusions:
1. The problem of "plugging" was on both firmwares - both on 4.4.3 and 5.0.2.
2. After switching to Android 5.0.2, the number of users complaining about the “plugging” of a regular player has quadrupled, although a third of those who use this version of the firmware do not experience problems with the player.
3. To solve the problem in any way, in practice, failed. Only one person (and this, for reference, I) who have the “plugs” disappeared when switching to a third-party player and using its advanced settings. that is, it is not an indicator.
In general, I personally, I can assume that the matter is lack of memory (for example, background applications, performing their actions, "eat off" a piece of memory from the player, causing it to "shut up" for a while from surprise). It remains only to wait for Version 5.1 - it is possible that this problem will be fixed there.
3.12.6. We share impressions about Android 5.1.
3.12.6.1. Results.
Attached Image
3.12.6.2. Findings.
1. Performance. More than 70% of users believe that the smartphone began to work faster, and about 15 percent did not notice the changes. The remaining 15 percent for the most part either have not yet been updated or are not collected; less than five percent of them say that the phone has become slower to work.
2. Power consumption. Here, half of them are sure that there are no changes, the rest are roughly equally divided among those who are confident in increasing the battery life of the gadget and those who are sure of the opposite.
3. Interface. More than half of users are satisfied with the changes in the system interface; among the rest, the overwhelming majority of changes were not noticed. The rest of the users are either not yet updated or are not going to; less than five percent of them claim that the interface has become worse.
4. Overall impression. Again, more than half of smartphone owners recommend upgrading. A quarter is left to choose. Less than 10 percent strongly advise against updating. Less than five percent generally believe that Android 4.4.3 is better. The rest are not updated, or are not collected.
Thus, about half of the owners are satisfied with the changes that have come with the new system. For a quarter - neither cold nor hot. About 5-10 percent are completely dissatisfied with the new system and do not recommend updating.
From myself I will add that to get all the features of Android Lollipop 5.1, I would recommend to install the update using Flashtool with a full wipe.
3.13. Disassembly of the phone.Videofrompropisi
3.14. About problems with contacts (with a Google account) when upgrading to Android 5.1.1.
After upgrading to the latest firmware (Android 5.1.1), some users had problems adding new contacts to the phone book:
Andrew_alf @ 11/23/2015, 1:27 PM *
When you try to add a contact, it says that there are no accounts, but really Google account is there, contacts get the phone from it during synchronization (Google contacts are, the new one is not added)
Attempt to solve the problem by Flashing in different ways did not succeed. However, a little later, the reason and, accordingly, solutions were found:
The phone was used with two sims, but at some point I rearranged the first SIM card in a long-playing phone, and in T2 only the second SIM card for the Internet remained, actually from that moment the problem with adding contacts was discovered. After rearranging the sim card from the second slot into the first one, everything worked.
and
Guys, the problem with contacts seems to be decided after the removal of programs: Twitter, Periscope, Quick PDF. How to remove them all worked.
