I bought a new Xperia z5 dual,

It can not read any external device if connected.
What can I do?

ANDROID OREO is perfect already, plus it is running on a high-end flagship, why root it when u can use the apps at ease? Yes I know rooting helps in increasing performance with custom softwares, and also helps in removing bloatware, but rooting wouldn't help much on a high-end flagship, instead harming it more because of the price u are buying it if u are concerned with that. I would recommend u to get a low-end or mid-end smartphone if u are into rooting the smartphone, u will see a bigger performance improvement

felt like unfinished flagship by sony! and treated as stepson! :(
Sony later put all its mind on XZP which is basically successor to z5p
CONS in z5p
1. plastic Lens, will scratch over time
2. Display not Vibrant as X series
3. Stopped at 7.1.1
4. no usb -c given
5. heats up ALOT
6. poor finger sensor!
PROs in z5p
1. easily rootable and DRMKEY EXtraction TOOL works (see xda)
2. supports Kcal when flashed thru recovery
3. Double tap to wake feature
PRO in XZP
1. first flaghsip with 4gb ram!
2. corning glass camera lenses
3. vibrant powerful screen
4. amazing finger sensor
CONS in XZP
1. hangs on oreo 8 (or atleast not faster as it was on 7.1.1
2. on Dt2w (double tap to wake)
3. drm keys can never be saved! and
4. difficult process to obtain ROOT (see xda)

AnonD-733200, 25 Jan 2018Should I get this phone, is it worth it?It is worth it, but can also get a newer one, like the XPERIA XZ. It is still receiving updates if u are into that, giving u a little information, comparing it to my XPERIA Z3+, XPERIA Z5 and XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM which have the notorious SNAPDRAGON 810 that heats up quite fast, XPERIA XZ doesn't heat up as fast as them. Besides, since the SNAPDRAGON 820 doesn't heat up that fast plus it is built in a 14nm process, it have better battery life even with a smaller battery than the XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM. But if u are interested in this smartphone because of the 4K display, go for it, and u will have to watch out for the heat, or u can wait for the price for XPERIA XZ PREMIUM to drop, if u are interested in how the XPERIA XZ PREMIUM performs, for me I don't have any heat issues when playing 4K videos for long periods of time, same goes to the camera, u might as well go for that if u are eyeing on the 4K display

I sent my phone to sony.
First time they didn't fix the headphone port the phone was still the same condition as i sent it. (They slighty scuffed it but it isn't really noticeable)
I sent my phone again the second time and the phone was actually repaired this time.

My headphone port has failed recently on my Sony Xperia Z5 Premium.

Z5 premium on Bangladesh is not what they advertised, it doesn't have 4k display and camera quality is just 8 megapixel. I used z3 for 2 years , that was the best phone in the world but z5 premium is just fake. I don't know about other parts of the world but all z5 premium in my country are fake. Please test your phone with apps like antutu benchmark
