Screen capture movie not on Xperia X Compact?

Hekkie — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 07:32:17 GMT

I'm missing a great feature on my X Compact.
One can now longer capture a screen movie. It was there on the Z models.
There are apps in the Play Store but these don't do the job as well as the build in feature from Sony.
Please put it back in.

Yes that's the one. I hope it will be back in a future update. With my Z3 Compact, on Lollypop and later Marshmallow, I didn't have any issues.

Hi @Hekkie,

As @alexdon mentions this function has been removed. I'll be happy to forward this as user feedback if you'd like.

The great thing about Android is that it's so customizable, there are lots of apps available on Google Play that might allow you to record your screen. @nolramlb had a suggestion, I haven't tried it myself but it seems to be getting good reviews on Google Play. If this app is what you were looking for, feel free to share it in our App suggestions thread.

You can try using Snagit, the best screen recorder for Andorid and iOS device.

But why did Sony removed such a useful (and well working) feature like the screen recorder...

Just unboxed my new Xperia X Compact and no waterproof nor screen recorder...

Come on Sony, you should upgrade the new devices, not the way around.

Yep. Pretty sad. I broke my z5 Compact and feel like the X is a downgrade. Lots of little things missing. My Z was a better device all around.

Sony please hear this. If your next compact is a half effort I'll be leaving the sony brand after being with you guys since.... the X10. You've let me down with this X big.

It is an OK phone. But its no Z5c which is a step in the wrong direction. The recorder worked great.

This phone feels cheap in comparisson.

Thanks for posting and actions above - just to reitterate that I left the store with my x and remember feeling I'd been short-changed. Normally a new phone gives you a lift but I'd not checked the specs and the x doesnt have waterproofing. I was sucked in by the 32GB internal memory and like a compact phone - have had sony's the last three (z3 compact was a great phone bar the 16GB internal memory). The iphone x is not a lot bigger...

what were the dev's thinking by leaving off screen-recording - surely that's a deliberate decision requiring addition effort to downgrade. Thanks for the app recommendations. I see apple are making a fuss about screen recording in ios11...
