Sony Xperia 1 VII

Oh yes! It worked randomly on circle line (gantries that have the screen as scanner). NEL and DT line no go totally.

I am on the latest android 16 update, seems like a problem from my Google search

Some Station scanner software issue likely too. Stadium MRT Station scanner will keep buzzing for quite some time before it finally successfully scan my phone. I don't experience this with other stations gantry.

Interesting, Bus scanner is ok!

does anyone have the wide lens issue where the left and right most curved abit too much? I was taking mbs photos with the flyer on the left corner, and after taking, realised the flyer is slanted. like leaning flyer.

Mine looks OK(to me) , I used the grid and the level tool as guide vs something straight. Face distortion off

Could be wide-angle lens perspective distortion which is not an issue with optics but rather up/down tilt exaggerating linear perspectives. If possible post a picture for us to have a look?

IT likely is what you described.

Found the solution for my issue!
Setting - about phone - android version - Google play system update - restart

Mine was a July update, it got updated to Nov after I did above and all good now!

Edit:And I realise if stamina mode is on, it wouldn't work on DTL CCL gantries. All good if stamina mode off...

Any good deals to get for 1VII? Any news of impending 1VIII?

My 1V is due for upgrade. Not sure if to replace my battery or jump the gun for a new phone

For SG wise forever buy from official sony store because that's where you are protected by warranty.
