I'm playing some podcasts from Listen and as far as I can tell it is storing the files on /sdcard which is the internal storage. That should in no way be a bottle neck. But I'm getting clicks and pops through my headphones and even through the speaker on the back.
I've read around a few places that the available RAM may be a problem but I can't find the free version of Elixer on the market to test this out.
Anyone else experience this issue from the internal memory and been able to prevent it? Do I have a bad device? (I also have stuttering HD and DVD video recording even when set to internal.)
I don't have lots of apps installed, maybe a dozen. About 8 games, Twidroyd PRO, Listen, groupon, living social, and a flashlight app. Nothing that should be killing the phone's performance (IMO). Also I am completely stock and haven't done any rooting, etc.
Edit: I installed Elixer to view some stats and while doing so my audio stopped. This used to happen on my Moto Droid and I figured it was due to memory limitations. Sure enough my available ram on my DX2 is 45.7MB. Doesn't seem like a lot free out of 400MB. Is this normal?

I assume you mean "Yes" it is normal for this phone. My Motorola Droid (original) did not suffer this problem. It had it's own set of memory related problems but I never experienced clicking/skipping audio.
That being said I assume you have one. What do you intend to do about it? I'm trying to gauge other people's response as well. I'm contemplating returning it and getting another device but I really like the large screen phones and don't need 4G.
Hi have they fixed the overheating issues when shooting 4k video, get my Z2 in May well hope I do ordered it in March but as we all know it’s been delayed. I’ll probably never record 4k video but if it doesn’t work you shouldn’t advertise it as a selling point. Didn’t they record any 4k video on it before they show cased it at the world mobile congress show does make you wonder?

Who told you it doesnt work? It does work, you just have to make pauses every 3 minutes or so, and not on every device.

If you can only record 3 minutes at a time due to it getting hot it doesn’t work the Samsung s5 doesn’t have this limitation. If you Google it it’s a well-known problem with the Z2

The Samsung Galaxy S5 has a 5min recording limit for 4K recording.

i didn't know that,i was reading a review on the Sony Z2 and they recorded 11 minutes of 4k on it but it shut down due to getting hot and the footage they had recorded was corrupt due to the phone crashing so don't think on the z2 there is a time limit on it.

Go buy S5 then with 5min limit, seriously people crying about something they wont even use, you realise just how much space 4k recordings will take? Where are u gonna store or play them? Its a feature that u wont be using in any ways apart from showing of to friends, but still, they read something somewhere and now its a big deal, seriously grow up. Its a deal breaker for you? Im sorry, dont buy the phone, really pointless discussion.

Agree with this sentiment.
It's like complaining that you need to top up the gas in your sports car after you've racing at 220mph!
It's a beast of a phone - and overheating is a side-effect of some of the features. Other phones will have similar issues.
I am referring to the Samsung Galaxy S5. Someone here claims the S5 doesn't have this issue. Well that's because the S5 has a 5min recording hard limit enforced for 4K recording. Hence that's why it "doesn't have this problem". To me it is kinda stupid for ppl to use this as a deal-breaker, I mean who really will use 4K recording? Much less use it to shoot a feature film.

Who said i was crying ? thought this forum was for discussing phones you really are a bundle of joy if you've got nothing constructive to say don"t bother replying.All i said was i quote "Hi have they fixed the overheating issues when shooting 4k video" also who said it was a big deal ? grow up you say, look in the mirror my friend.
Mine got delivered day before yesterday.Tried 4K recording..Got a footage for 5:12 minutes..Stopped without any warning but the camera area was hot
Doed the phone overheat and force close too on 1080p recording? I have read some posts that its not just 4k. I hope its just a faulty unit

My 3 Z2 all overheated on normal HD video so not just 4K im afraid.
This is the only thing keeping me wanting to go with S5 as a normal HD video on my past handsets has been fine

Damn my phone! Using the camera is a joke. I want to save my images to the SD card as I bought a memory card for it as I shoot lots of images and I don't want to max the phone storage out. Forever it will take a photo and you think all is good but then when you go to the gallery there is a grey square instead of the image. Clicking it grey square brings up a dialogue box saying there is no thumbnail. Trying to use it via Flickr upload, Facebook etc says the image is corrupt and can't be used.
Now, it's only the images taken with the camera that is the issue. Whatapp album, downloaded images album, Flickr download folder are all fine, the issue is just images I take with the phone?
So annoyed. Wish I had not cut a corner and bought the Samsung instead.
What a [email protected]#[email protected] title for thread. Talk for yourself.
I'm perfectly happy with H7 camera, can save pics to SD, quality is good..
You having problems with H7 don't means all users have it.

How do you know I am? For all you know it could be an issue that most people are facing?
Today I was baking with my 3 kids, something that I don't get the time to do and thought it would be a nice bonding thing to do with them - father and children. Not wanting to ruin the moment and go for the DSLR I used my phone. All the images that I took, that was about 15 or so of each child mixing their ingredients, preparing the cakes, getting them ready for the oven, capturing their beaming smiles (which with my twin 4 year old boys is no mean feat), and then for all of them circa 45 or so images so all be ruined and not one recorded properly just sucked so excuse me if I vent a little steam.

Again, this is just hearsay
Getting back on track, looking at the image files on a PC, not one gives me the option to view, they can't be opened and again there is no thumbnail. Looking at the EXIF data and none is recorded. Trying to import one into Photoshop and it says "could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete."
Now in the past I faced this issue with the camera (this phone) and I would go straight to Flickr and upload the image before it went mental and stopped playing ball with the image so at least I had a copy. Then I would then download it back down from Flickr and that image file would be fine, unlike the original that would do dolaly.
Please feel free to keep arguing with me if you like, we're both entitled to our own opinions but its kinda pointless as it doesn't solve anything
Did You cry long after my last post ? :laugh:
How do I know You speak for everybody?
Look at title of your thread: using statement like 'for you' clearly says, that you try implement your opinion on someone else, possibly make some people not to buy this decent phone.
Could be an issue most people are facing ?
Well, nope. After this long after premiere of this phone there would be houndreds of posts about it. There isn't.
Tried to bond with the kids and camera didn't obey ?
Sad story. So sad that your life is rubbish if You don't have enough time for your kids. Maybe change of life style ?
Money isn't everything.
Feel free to argue ?
Yet again you say to someone what he can do or not? Déjà vu of your thread title.
Thank You for bit of entertaiment That would be my last post in this thread as you are clearly to touchy to continiue. Don't wanna make you cry again
Yet ' feel free to argue ' , others would have some fun reading it too i belive.
Sorry for all inconvinience I made to You
Let's try and be constructive. I'm not having this problem either. Try a faster sd card. Class 10 are the fastest, I have a samsung class 6. Also turn down resolution (here I use 8M, who need 5000x3000 resolution?) Because it affects file size.
I'm not having this problem, I save to sd card and thumbnails are created and all camera images are viewable in the gallery and editable when transferred to pc. You have a problem specific to your phone/sd card.
Can you see thumbnails when you save to internal memory?
I bet it's something with sd card. Try another one. Never had problems with camera app and photos. Please look also if you enabled to save location with photo - perhaps it can't get the position and that's why it don't save them correct ( just a try to find the error)
Good luck
I disagree. I love the camera on the H7.
Paired with Google's Snapseed, I get some pretty good photos.
Also, I have no issues with SD cards and saving photos onto them.
I'd tend to agree with the original poster, in day to day use the camera is more often bad than good.
There is a huge delay when taking the photo,and most annoyingly what gets saved is different than the image that flashes on the screen when you press the shutter! What gets saved is often out of focus and with motion blur.
I find the camera very disappointing for all but well lit rock-steady slow shots.
Sent from my PLK-L01 using Tapatalk
I never have the issues mentioned by the OP, like mentioned I would hazard a guess at the SD card being at fault here. Overall I'm happy with he camera performance.
The only thing I would have liked is image stabilisation as I have quite shaky hands but I will just have to try and use both hands and lean against something for support where I can I guess.
im also pleasantly suprised by the camera. its nice n snappy and takes good photos. I dont have the issues mentioned in the OP>
Maybe a bad sd card??

I had similar problems when using Snap Camera & photo quality 100% & save to SD Card, With stock camera I never had any problem. So it is definitely a problem of write speed of SD card. Try another one with higher "Class" and pictures will be ok.
I've had none of the issues op is referring to. However i've had issues with phone crashing after taking full hd video. However it is a separate matter and belongs in a different thread.
just got my H7....more than happy with the camera and the photos (set to 20meg)....i won't talk about the speaker phone part
Im too happy with the camera of Honor 7. The issue mentioned here might be bcos of SD card low speed (or) higher RAM utilization.
EMUI should really fix all the RAM management issues.

If you are using standard photos, you should get 20MP.
Try to clean the cache/data of the app in the phone settings.

Hello, today, I bought a new Moto Z and updated it to the latest version(NPL25.86-30). Before updating however, I tried out some of the apps I often use and while testing a game I very often play(Love Live! School Idol Festival) I get the problem of stuttering sound. Any time I click on anything in the menu it stutters or crackles a bit, it's very annoying and hard to ignore/miss. This also occurs when playing the game, where you click very rapidly, making the stuttering/crackling sound even more apparent and unbearable.
Have anyone else heard of an issue like this and maybe knows the cause(Yes, I have searched around but haven't found anything properly similar, maybe I suck at searching)? Is it hardware related and a replacement phone might be to consider? I have yet to do any rooting or other warranty-breaking modifications.
Maybe someone else who got a Moto Z could download this specific app and see what happens for you(Be aware it might take a while to download, the app itself is 80~MB and then it will download some more, idk how much but it took like 10 mins for me).
None of my older phones(those being a Note 1 and Note 4) had issues like this(And before you ask me to just play on them, one is too old and slow and the other's internal memory have failed).
Thanks in advance, Nukezone.
Judging from the reviews of the app, I would suppose that it's a bug in the game (one of a long list) and not your device. Does your Z make this sound in any other application @Nukezone?

I have tried to replicate the issue in other apps but it doesn't occur anywhere else. So I also suspect it to be app related, but at the same time it's a bit strange that this is the only phone this app have bugged on(for me at least). I'll go to a store today that got the phone on display and try to install it there and see if the error still occurs, if it does, I'll leave it at that, I love the Moto Z otherwise so I really dont want to have to return it. @squallz506
Well none of your other phones had Android 7.0. I'd install it but it's a whopping 600mb add on file.
My Note 4 does have Android 7.1. Not stock, naturally. It's internal memory is more or less broken, it works sometimes and sometimes i get mmc_read failed. Either way, it worked enough to try and start the app in question and test the issue and it does not occur on the Note 4 with Android 7(.1).
I guess I'll just live with it. Maybe a future update of either the OS or app fixes it.
Thanks for your suggestions at least. ^-^

My device is xiaomi Mi6 with android 7.1.1. It seems like the OS is too new for the game! I have the exact same problem: the more perfects(tap on the note) per minute the more the sound laggs. Newer game (bandori) has no problem than this SIF 2013 game.
Did you find anything? Let me know please.
Since 10 days threre is a bug in my Xperia 1. If I take a picture, camera doesn't save the picture, also in the small preview the loading image will be there for hours. After restart it works perfect for about 10 pictures, but the problems will be there again. If I will use another camera app there will will be a camera fault.
Xperia 10 or xperia 1? This is the Xperia 1 forum..
But anyways, try clearing data from the camera app. Settings > apps > Camera
Xperia 1, sorry fault in typing. I tried this 3 times, but no change
I have also had this problem. The camera app is trash. The battery and screen are the only things going for this overpriced junk. Sony should deliver more for the price they are asking.

Camera app is trash, It's slowest app on the entire phone. I don't have any issues on other apps loading but Camera app takes seconds to load.
Like the OP said photos are being processed and it's not saved for a long time. Need a restart of the entire phone to get them to work.
Then again sometimes photos are saved as green, like complete useless.
And you shouldn't say like sell it and move on cause us/consumers bought this phone paying $1000 because we have a trust in the company, And I have been using Sony for the past decade, I always had problems with their camera app. It's so laggy.
From the start to transition of three cameras then video recording lag, no smoothness in zooming in during video etc. But why I buy Sony? cause I have a faith that in some point they will fix it, but they never do. Then you may ask why I still buy Sony cause I love the design and as a hardware product Sony has a very minimal failure rate. Like my XZP I have used for entire two years, never gave me a single issue except for laggyness of the camera.
So when someone comes and complains an issue in Q&A and when they are really pointing out a real issue don't say "Sell it and Move on if you're not happy." it's like you're making Sony Mobile extinct. Your attitude makes them wanna quit mobile developing. So think about it before say something like this before, Don't be that guy in the internet. :highfive:

Camera does load slow, but I can live with it. Photos do not take a long time to process. I don't need to restart my phone in order to get them to work. Photos never saved as green for me. But of course, my experience is different from others.
Never had recording lag. Smoothness well yeah it's not smooth. I bought Sony because I like Sony as well. Have been using Xperia since 2014.
Do a software repair, which usually fixes 99% of all problems. I'm just saying, if you're not happy, then sell and move on. Complaining won't get you anywhere, will only get you so far.

No you can't live with that, It's a real bummer that it takes ages to load, I mean it's 2019 and take a look at other OEMs how much attention they pay to their cameras. This is why Sony is lagging behind. Look how much Sony's other divisions listen to consumer. I don't think I can accept the fact that it takes like 2 seconds to load the app. There was a time Camera app was really fast to open.

If you're saying it doesn't take a long time to process then clearly you've been using a different phone, cause my Xperia 1 is taking a long time to process some photos and it needs to be restarted as well.

Well Zooming in isn't really smooth if you hadn't used it, This proves how often do you use the camera app. It's like these things are new to you.
Have you used a compact camera? or a camcorder? It's like that. https://youtu.be/WHpo-Dl4yt4?t=465
Take a look at this and see cause he literally explains the smoothness on zooming in and the recording. Frames dropping when the phone gets heated up.
Then again I feel like this 960fps is fun to use when you get it first but how often do you use it. I'd rather have 1080p 120fps/240fps, 4K 24fps/30fps/60fps and a smooth transition in cameras which is totally can be done by software. Sony needs to focus on the camera app and be serious about it. I mean they headed in the right direction with this phone but they cut it off immediately by delivering a mediocre camera software. I wouldn't mind them contacting Google and asking them to use Gcam on this phone, like literally let google use Googles software cause it's that bad. I use it and I take photos and I do love the photos comes out of this phone, I genuinely do and I wanna use the camera a lot but I get bored and tired of using it cause the restrictions they have.

Have a look at this photo, I mean people asked me if I did take it with my phone and they didn't believe, I did some colour adjustments to my liking with LR, but still it does take amazing photos but I feel like it can do more but holding back.

Do a software repair, which usually fixes 99% of all problems. I'm just saying, if you're not happy, then sell and move on. Complaining won't get you anywhere, will only get you so far.

Bro why would I be doing software repairs for silly problems like this? This easily can be fixed with a software update. Plus If I keep doing software updates for each and every problem I have with the phone, I would be only doing that but not using the phone. SOFTWARE REPAIR IS NOT A FIX.
Sony should serious about smart phone cameras as they're with mirrorless and RX-100 series. Don't say sell it and move on to a guy who's been using Sony phones from 2005 when Sony was with Ericsson, when Sony was having some of the best camera phones.: highfive:

No you can't live with that, It's a real bummer that it takes ages to load, I mean it's 2019 and take a look at other OEMs how much attention they pay to their cameras. This is why Sony is lagging behind. Look how much Sony's other divisions listen to consumer. I don't think I can accept the fact that it takes like 2 seconds to load the app. There was a time Camera app was really fast to open.
If you're saying it doesn't take a long time to process then clearly you've been using a different phone, cause my Xperia 1 is taking a long time to process some photos and it needs to be restarted as well.
Well Zooming in isn't really smooth if you hadn't used it, This proves how often do you use the camera app. It's like these things are new to you.
Have you used a compact camera? or a camcorder? It's like that. https://youtu.be/WHpo-Dl4yt4?t=465
Take a look at this and see cause he literally explains the smoothness on zooming in and the recording. Frames dropping when the phone gets heated up.
Then again I feel like this 960fps is fun to use when you get it first but how often do you use it. I'd rather have 1080p 120fps/240fps, 4K 24fps/30fps/60fps and a smooth transition in cameras which is totally can be done by software. Sony needs to focus on the camera app and be serious about it. I mean they headed in the right direction with this phone but they cut it off immediately by delivering a mediocre camera software. I wouldn't mind them contacting Google and asking them to use Gcam on this phone, like literally let google use Googles software cause it's that bad. I use it and I take photos and I do love the photos comes out of this phone, I genuinely do and I wanna use the camera a lot but I get bored and tired of using it cause the restrictions they have.

I can live with it. Because I'm patient. I'm not sure how you can dictate if I can live with how things are or not. Again, the photos process fast for me without any problems. Regardless if I save on the SD card or internal storage.
Software repair is a fix for some issues. Hence "repair". It solves a lot of software problems. You've been using phones since 2005? Congrats! AFAIK, there's internal struggles with their Alpha cameras and mobile, hence the bad connection between the two. The current (new) president of Sony mobile was the first to "unite" them in a way.
But anyways, you have your opinions, I have mine. Don't try to force your way on me, especially from someone who has been "using Sony phones from 2005".
I suggested a fix via Software Repair. If it doesn't work, complain on the proper forum; or sell and move on.
Ok i have this problem too... And its really annoying because when i want to find it in my album last pic that i took its not there
Had this problem to.
Hard reset fixed it for me. (Hold volume up + power until 3 times vibration)
I have to agree with you chesterr...
This isnt the way Sony handled us. Btw Using Sony (ericsson) since the phones with the first color screens.
Cmon, its a flagship phone. How can your phone/app be laggy?
Look at the sections of sony phones, its just empty.
Why?
Because of the "I am sony, I am high class" logic.
I know they are busy with the new android but atleast fix those minor bugs.. Its really frustating. It has nothing to do with patience. What if you need to take a picture of a fast moving object? Shoot out with "hey wait I have patience! Im gonna take a picture"!?
Be realistic. No offence of course.
in gallory app, there is a troubleshooting option in in-app settings, it can solve ur problem.
or, you can disable sony's gallory app, use other gallory app like Google Photos instead.

Oddly I do not have this problem with the launch of the camera. It does not even take a half-second to open the application, taking photos longer is quite logical because there is an intermediate (the dram). Moreover, the xperia 5, which does not have dram, taking photos is faster. For unregistered photos I wonder if this is not a material design defect related to the dram since there are only some people who are concerned and not all of the users.

The problem is launching from the lockscreen with the camera button. Camera icon works flawlessly.
So the dram chip is a complete failure then?
https://www.sonymobile.com/be/legal/testresults/xperia-xz1/#gref
Its supposed to be 5 times faster?

the dram is actually much faster but acts like a cache. So in practice, the data is stored on the dram then the internal memory or the microsd and a delay is mandatory. The advantage of the dram is to be able to offer a better bursts or an idle 960 fps. A good example for the transfer delay is in a reflex camera where you can see the buffer empty during a burst. But for unregistered photos a problem of dram is not an exclude it is only flash memory and in this area it's pretty recurrent I had several defective ssd or ram to the purchase . Obviously this is only an assumption I would prefer that it is purely software for those concerned by the problem

Even from the lockscren I do not have that, after the camera is torn down in the android battery optimization, and I activated the smart launch as well as the immediate take. That may be the difference.

I hope it's software but weird that not all models are affected in this case, maybe a poorly done update. Always tried a repair / reset, if it still may be a hardware defect, I had once had a problem recording 960 fps on the premium xz and that was the dram the problem

Also try to uncheck the camera in android optimization to launch the application from the lockscreen, it has tandence to be quite aggressive

Yes, tried I hope your problem will be solved. Have a good day
Android optimization? How?
I made an account just to reply here for whoever may one day face this issue - I just purchased an xperia XZ [I know its 2021 and its from 2016] anyway, I love xperia phones and am replacing my xperia z3+
Anyway!
TO FIX THIS =============================
First test to verify --- REMOVE YOUR SD CARD [Can you see your photos?]
IF YES
THEN
FORMAT YOUR SD CARD AS EXTERNAL / INTERNAL STORAGE [whichever option you are allowed I chose external]
Your problem will then be fixed.
I tried transferring my sd card from previous xperia directly to my new one and thats what caused this problem.
I hope this helps you, don't be upset, its a wonderful device.... <3
