Hi

Asus has this new feature to stamp the date taken on the photo. Nice useful optional feature.

As I am thinking of making a switch, does xperia have this feature on Z5?

Googled "Asus date stamp photos" but no results to show how exactly Asus does it. So can't really advise you on whether Z5 has such a feature. But you can see the date and time of your images when you view it in the Album app on the Xperia, not sure if that's what you're referring to.

Mine only vibrates if the app specifically has "vibrate" as a notification.

Argh super super disappointed with this phone so far. Not sure if mine is broken?

Battery drains incredibly fast. Z3 battery lasted a full day on heavy usage. Attaching pic of how fast it drains. Stop charging 6pm, empty by midnight. Wtf.

I bought this battery over the Z3+ because apparently overheating is fixed, and battery last 2 days again. Neither of those issues seem fixed.

Difference between Z3 and Z5 screen
Heating issue cant be resolved as its waterproof phone, and with QHD 2days battery life not possibke if you actually use the phone

You can use Camera360 app for date/time stamp

Anybody know how to change the home pane? I mean setting which pane to be your "main" home screen.

I had no heating issue in Z3 which was also waterproof. Both Z3 & Z5 screens are the same size and the same resolution.

A phone lasting <8 hours is crazy. Who is only out for that long, that's not even a working day.

I am not sure what you are referring to by QHD in relation to Z5.

But anyway, I see another user not using stamina mode and comments about battery drain.
Try the stamina mode first and see any improvement.

Tbh i find stamina mode not a fair representation of battery life. If you turn off sync for other phones does that count cause thats more or less what it does in addition to limiting performance.

Mine only vibrates if the app specifically has "vibrate" as a notification.

I know, but I want vibrate when I'm out and its in my pocket, not when its on my table/nightstand at home. :/

That is what people said when some says to use the camera manual mode over superior mode.

What is the point of stamina mode if you do not use it?

My S5 is also running on power saving mode, no need to care whether fair or not, since not all phones are built to be equal.

I don't use stamina mode one and it have been good all this while

Same reasoning as they painstakingly supply us with apps and kids don't appreciate it, call it 'bloatware' and attempts to uninstall it.
