    Battery draining while in Airplane Mode

    Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Rukbat. Update: I'm aware of the best usage techniques with Lithium Ion batteries, thanks for that. I haven't yet tried the wakelock detector, but I've been putting the phone in Ultra Stamina mode the last few nights instead of airplane mode. In ultra stamina...

    Does anyone have problem with Z3 battery time? It was good before and now it is running out fast.

    Nope... it's really strange. Nothing that I can see is doing that. With heavy use from 7am to 11pm, battery went from full charge to 60%. Then set it to airplane mode at bed time, wake up, and it's dead again.

    Battery draining while in Airplane Mode

    My battery is draining hugely WHILE IN AIRPLANE MODE! Not sure how this is possible. 2 nights ago I went to sleep in airplane mode with 59%, woke up with 22%. Last night went to sleep in airplane mode with 29%, woke up and the phone was completely out of juice. The battery usage report shows...

    I'm having a similar issue. Except for me, my battery is draining hugely WHILE IN AIRPLANE MODE! 2 nights ago went to sleep in airplane mode with 59%, woke up with 22%. Last night went to sleep in airplane mode with 29%, woke up and the phone was completely out of juice. The battery usage report...

    12,800 ISO

    It's purely a marketing gimmick. ISO 12,800 on a sensor this size will be unusable. A top of the line full frame dslr like the $6000 Nikon D4S, the king of lowlight photography, ISO 12,800 will be usable, but even on higher end crop-sensor DSLRs ISO 3200 and 6400 are certainly pushing it. I love...

    Sony Xperia Z3 Problems on AT&T

    Re: Problems on AT&T All I had to do was re-select LTE as preferred network in Mobile Network Settings -> Network Mode. Haven't had any issues since.

    Sony Xperia Z3 Problems on AT&T

    Got my Z3 last night. Amazing device. Took the AT&T rep about 30 minutes to get the new sim working with AT&T network, when I left the store I had LTE connection. I have terrible service at my house (edge/emergency only) - same thing happened with my GS3 before. Now the problem is it seems to be...

    Whats the best White Balance settings to show the most accurate colors?

    I'm a photographer and calibrate my desktop monitor monthly, so I feel like I have a decent grasp on the issue. The display white balance out of the box definitely looks to be too cool. Adjusting it will be one of the first orders of business when my device gets here on Wednesday... will report...

    Sony Xperia Z3 My ONLY criticism of this device...

    Re: My ONLY criticism of this device... I appreciate the replies. I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly. It only bothered me because I was deciding between the z3, iphone 6+ and note 4.

    Sony Xperia Z3 My ONLY criticism of this device...

    Ok, first off, I absolutely love the idea of this device. I ordered one on ebay last week and can't wait to get it early next week. That said, the one thing that I have a hard time with is this: the Back/Home/Options buttons waste incredibly valuable screen real estate. There is so much room...
