Sony has numerous devices touting good IP ratings and of course dust ratings but when water does get in this is a problem for users under warranty and devices not being repaired so we can now see the true meaning of waterproof devices,they are not,simple as,flaps not closed correctly,ports,earpiece,mic and so on, water will get in somewhere and even though devices have a rating this depends on how long the device has been submerged,In short I personally would not use a device underwater or in a shower as I do not buy this splash-proof/waterproof jargon.This notice will apply to the Z3+ and the upcoming Z5 ,Accidents do happen I might add and perhaps Sony should allow more leeway..
Some of Sonys statements below..
Your device has an IP rating. This means that under a strictly controlled laboratory environment, the hardware works as designed even after being exposed to specific conditions.
Sony devices that are tested for their waterproof abilities are placed gently inside a container filled with tap water and lowered to a depth of 1.5 metres. After 30 minutes in the container, the device is gently taken out and its functions and features are tested.
If you’re at the dinner table and accidentally spill water all over your device, you don’t have to worry. Just allow the device to dry out completely.
Caught in the rain while waiting at the bus stop? Not a problem. Your Xperia device can handle raindrops falling on your head, as well as your screen.
Do you spend time relaxing at the tub after a hard day at work? Watch a movie on your Xperia device. Just make sure you don’t submerge your device in bath water and you wash off those soap suds when you’re done.
Other ways to use your device
Head over to Sony for the full deets.
One plus is good at teasing folk and lets be honest One Plus fans love it,they like being kept on their toes and the company surely does this with its teasers,today they gave a teaser of just an image saying…
Something luxurious is coming to OnePlus. What could it be?
Well it could be anything but for now we would make it out to be a leather back following the LG G4 trend which some like and others dislike which is perfectly normal,we all have our own desired choice and looks.. People are also saying it could be a cover with NFC built in but i doubt that very much,others say an xmas devices,well i also doubt this be the case too..
Stay tuned for more….

Camera+ app which us a hugely popular app normally costing users $3 has now free on the App store,though this comes with IAPs to upgrade,this app has some 14 million users and its a great app if you are into your photography.This is a well noted app and has several high profile articles written on it…
Camera+ cofounder Lisa Bettany told 9 to 5 mac
We want to get the app out to as many people as possible. We currently have 14 million users, but we’d love to see more people using and falling in love with our app. We think by offering people a free version, more people who typically don’t pay for apps will give it a try. If they like it then they may buy some in-apps or just spread the word about our app.
Some of the features include
Touch Exposure & Focus
Set exposure separately from focus. You can now easily control how light or dark your shots come out.
Shooting Modes
Use the Stabilizer to steady your iPhone and get the sharpest photos you can. There are countless uses for the Timer including taking the highest-quailty self-portraits. Capture all the action by using Burst to take rapid streams of shots.
Digital Zoom
Up to 6× zoom with advanced digital processing provides you with quality that simply blows away the competition.
Front Flash
How many times have you wanted to take a pic of yourself in a dark room but couldn’t. Well, now you can!
Horizon Level
Use the Horizon Level to eliminate taking crooked shots.
Clarity
Clarity is one of the biggest breakthroughs to happen to image processing in a long time. Clarity analyzes your photos and makes several intelligent adjustments that magically bring out details and breathe life into dull photos. With Clarity, you’ll stop throwing out bad photos… you’ll be amazed to see what it can do to photos that you’d typically consider unusable, like shots that came out too dark.
Periscope the live streaming app has now updated and allows users to use it in landscape mode,it was annoying using your device in portrait mode so now we can use it the right way,This will allow a better viewing field,in short you can allow more to be seen..So all you need to do is update the app and you can then tilt your device and shoot in landscape mode.
Periscope says
You asked, we delivered! In the latest version of iOS and Android, Periscopers can now hold their phones either in portrait or landscape. Here’s how it works: Viewers can continue holding their device in portrait, or match the broadcaster’s orientation to maintain full screen video. Either way, you’ll never need to tilt your head to watch sideways video.
Also added is “Mutual Follow” where when you start a private broadcast, you can choose from a list of mutual followers,Share context is another addition but only on iOS for now which means when someone you follow shares a broadcast, it appears in your home feed noted with an indicator.
Waking home alone is not the wise move to make late at night and especially with the dark nights upon us daylight hours are less thus leaving some vulnerable earlier,the same applies now to the morning time as Winter approaches,this is when you might be potentially attacked which is the last thing one would want to happen.. Regardless prevention is better than cure and you should try to remain in a group or at least have a taxi or lift but it does happen when we may ramble on or continue to walk whilst trying to hail a cab..
There is now a new app to give you company if you will and you can have someone remotely monitor your journey home and its called Companion App which is a peer to peer operation via your smartphone..You can pick family members or friends who do not actually have to have the app installed and they can monitor your moves and it alerts them if there is no response and you can contact local authorities.
