How to activate Displayport alt mode on the Xperia XZ premium?

[hagatha]

We just received the XZ Premium and have a question about the micro SD card and speed..I contacted the support and they were not able to answer my question..basically we want to know does it support microSDXC II v60 and write at that speed? or would it need to be the microSDXC II v90 and write at that speed.. for 4K video?

Any micro sd UHS1 U3 or above will do as long as it has a sustained write speed of over 10-15MB a second.(4k 60mbps bitrate = roughly 7.5mbps write required)

The UHS II cards are only really useful for faster pc transfer via a USB to SD UHS II reader as these cards have an extra row of pins that most devices don't even have on their sd ports, certainly no mobiles have them.

I personally am using a U3 v30 with no issues whatsoever with recording or playback of 100mbps+ hdr 4k files.

Lots of people on a fair few devices looking at play reviews.

Sky go has a history of being updated sparingly for compatibility whereas now TV running off the same service is regularly updated.

You can email apps@bskyb.com and ask when the next update will be sent out (I believe the last update was way back in June)

Hello,

I am writting here because I want to buy an Xperia XZ Premium SO-04J from Japan because a friend traveled there but I don't know if this model works with the bands used in Uruguay.

This is the page of the spects of this model, there are other bands used in Japan too (the page is in japanese).

These are the bands used in Uruguay.

Band 2G: (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900)
Band 3G: (850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100)
Band 4G: (700 / 850 / 1700 (BANDA 4) / 1900 / 2100 (BAND 4) / 2600)

Thank you and excuse me for my english.

i recommend you to buy it from your country.

becuase build number for each area is different so for updates you'll get problem

and maybe japan version does not support your local language, or maybe your oprator does not let your phone to be online on network and lots of more thinks.

so this is interesting... according to this page:

http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaxzpremiumdualsim/userguide/icons-in-the-status-bar/

The DO NOT DISTURB icon should appear on the right side of the STATUS BAR, replacing the "Vibrate" icon when activated. But for some reason, my xperia XZ Premium shows it on the left side as a notification... this is a bit annoying as when I do turn the DO NOT DISTURB mode on, then lock the phone, I have no indication that my phone is in that mode... In other words, it looks like the phone is set to regular mode. The "Vibrate" icon is obviously gone in this mode.

Is that a sony issue, does anybody know how can this be fixed??
