[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Torres77an:
Okay I'm looking to buy an Xperia T I've watched all the youtube videos on it and have not seen this problem I currently am still using my arc and have replaced the screen on it and both were fine but my friends arc s from Asia has this problem with it being a tad bit washed out and dull when up next to my arc so I think it's safe to say that Sony has a problem with selling people botched screens that's probably why there failing in the tv sector when they can actually make some beautiful displays I'm half joking here but it's quite sad to see such a bad quality control problem from the likes of Sony.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TherionTheGreat:
problem with particular phones

I have played with Xperia T yesterday in O2 shop in Ireland and can confirm that the display is really OK.

I just proved myself that the unit that my parents bought must be faulty. I encourage everyone with pale, washed out of colours screens to return / exchange it under the warranty.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] smardu:
I have SXS and SXT, latest FW on both.

SXT display is a crap compared to SXS, i've made a lot of tests with photos and videos, the result is the same, SXS has more brightness, more contrast and is more colourful then SXT. I've tried a lot of combinations, with auto off, same brightenss, full brightness.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
That is not what I experienced. I'll shoot some test pics in the weekend.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] maxboy:
I also have both SXS and SXTX, but my SXS screen crap like nothing, TX screen quality is very good on par with iPhone, can't complain

Maybe the same situation like TX which made of 2 different screen model ? TX got touch firmware a & b, day and night in terms of quality
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Well my Xperia T is a Generic UK (unbranded, not locked) model with touch firmware 3e. Perfect display as far as I'm concerned.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Touch firmware should have nothing to do with screen's quality.

Anyway, I suggest you take a picture between your SXS and SXTX and upload it here, so we can see the difference, and hopefully the other person with the crappy SXT screen can upload theirs in comparison with the SXS so we can see that too, and make a rational judgement from both comparisons.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Touch firmwares are usually the only way to find out differences in manufacturing between the displays. With the first batch of AAAB Xperia S devices the Touch Firmware 7's got yellow spots, Touch Firmware 6 was fine. Not because of the firmware but because it's an indication of what display type is inside.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] maxboy:
As Ambroos said, it does indicate which screen you got, mine XS was 7 with bad view angle and minor yellow spot. I sold it quickly after I got TX. So I can't take picture with them side by side.

There is a huge debate on A vs B for TX, and most people go for B in Asia market for TX, same thing it's very likely happen on T, sadly.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] drigerott:
see the contrast change?

is not brightness...it's contrast that changes... happens to you too?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
I get that! I posted another thread about it but no one else seemed to be affected.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] drigerott:
I tried 5 new xperia t in my shop and all do like the video ...then it is not only my phone hihihi maybe bravia engine contrast adapt... I don't know
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
It's not the Bravia Engine, it's a power saving feature of the GPU.

When there aren't many bright elements on the screen the GPU increases the brightness of what's on the display by increasing the brightness of the actual pixels pushed to the display and then decreases the backlight. The result of that is that you lose a tiny bit of contrast, your actual brightness doesn't change but the power use goes down because the backlight is turned down.

But as you can see, you sometimes notice it. It's in most recent GPU's, even Intel GPU's for laptops have had it for years now.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sidneylopsides:
I never saw it on earlier firmware, or on any stock ones.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Well I have a UK Generic one on the latest software (.195) without any modifications and I noticed it right away. It's a part of the GPU driver afaik.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] drigerott:
Thx for tecnical replay :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
It has nothing to do with gpu.

Here is data sheet for AS3676 - www1.futureelectronics.com/doc/AUSTRIAMICROSYSTEMS/AS3676.pdf

And here is what DLS is from the data sheet -

8.4.9 DLS - Dynamic Luminance Scaling Input

The pin GPIO1/DLS can be used for dynamic backlight scaling input. Dynamic backlight scaling is used to reduce the power of the backlight especially when showing dark picture contents on the display. The control unit to operate DLS is the display processor sending a PWM signal to the AS3676 and in parallel changing the display content to compen- sate for a reduced brightness backlight.

DLS can be turned off in /system/etc/pre_hw_config.sh -

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led_1-lcd/use_dls

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/led_2-lcd/use_dls
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] drigerott:
like i wrote in the other 3d for me is still the same. maybe is to change something else?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
It's probably identical as on my HP laptop.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
Thanks, that is what I meant but I couldn't find more information. I hope Sony provides a way to disable it without root in future updates.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Segnale007:
You should seriously give a look at the Note2 display.

That is shocking.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
I went through the entire post. So there's no conclusion that the Xperia t has good or bad screens depending on the touch firmware version like the Xperia tx. Version b has better screens than a and c.

So Xperia t has one type of screen, if you got a faulty screen with really bad viewing angles and colors I should get it replaced?

Sorry just kind of worried, switching from Xperia tx to t, mine should arrive next week. Cant wait :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
I have got my new Xperia T. It's 3e and I like the screen but viewing angles are bad. There is a screen protector from sony installed. If I will get it off will i have better viewing angles? I don't believe that's the screen fault. What's your experience? Thanks for advices.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
It's safer and better to leave the screenprotector on. It doesn't affect viewing angles.

Also, the viewing angles aren't that bad for an LCD. It's not like the IPS HTC uses but it's really not that bad. Also, how often do you not use your phone head-on?

I think the display in the Xperia T is brilliant. Blacks are deep, contrast is great, colours are accurate. Much better than the Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] papped:
Just a fyi for others, but if I turn off DLS on Paranoid rom the screen doesn't turn off, just goes black.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Write it in PA thread, too let the developers know about the bug.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
I am having this issue on my new lt30a. I noticed it right away after using it for a few hours. My lt29 doesn't do that.

so can I reconfirm that it's the firmware .195 issue?

if not I want to get it replaced.

I also noticed that the screen is much dimmer than lt29, with both set adapt to environment and same level of brightness.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vanillaskye21:
I have a TX with touch firmware b, the screen looks really good and good viewing angles too and it got way better with a matte screen protector applied on it :cool:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] leopard_vn:
Display:Xperia T vs TX

100% brightness, enabled BRAVIA Engine.The image is real, not fake.

Xperia TX white - Xperia T black
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
Finally got my Xperia T.

So now S and T sit next to me.

I compared both screens. The result is quite interesting.

Basically T is a little bit brighter than S and a tiny bit more detailed.

When I compare both devices I see S having more cold colours and T having warmer ones.

White is "whiter" on T. T looks tiny bit better.

But what is soo different is the UI.

The same theme on S and T have totally different colour.

On T it's brighter and more grey, on S (both on Silk theme) much darker and on grey/blueish side.

The same goes with my wallpaper pic - it's again more pale and grey on T.

I will compare it tomorrow with the laptop.

What is strange all other pics look fairly identical on both.

And viewing angles are the same as well.

From the above pics - doesn't Xperia TX look oversaturated?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Fuzalert2k:
Wow, what the heck? The difference is more resounding than I thought. The contrast on the TX is definitely better..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
Does anybody else here has T and S like me?

Do you see a big difference in UI colours on both devices however after making a screenshot they look identical?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

My Xperia T strangely acts like that on the settings screen and on one (!!!) of my pics in the gallery.

I don't get it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] leopard_vn:
Display Xperia TX better than Xperia T.

Xperia T has bad contrast.Color isn't real and excessive screen brightness.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] smardu:
I have S and T

S screen is much better then T, at least for my eyes.

Also BA is more visible on S.

I've played with the brightness on both but i wasn't able to get the same quality on T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
I have totally opposite impression.

T is more real and looks more like on my laptop when S oversaturates a bit.

It's the contrast control/trick on UI of T which may make such an impression

that the screen is lacking something.

But on apps like calendar it's clear - T is slightly better.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] leopard_vn:
Display of Xperia T is better than Xperia S.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] leopard_vn:
In the previous post I compared the display of Xperia T vs TX and display of TX wins.

But today I found other evidence,it makes me confused.Who can explain this problem?

Is there a difference between the Xperia T vs Xperia T ? What is happening!!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
Yep there is. I have got T with really bad display like OP got and sent it back. Will see If I will get replacement.:eek:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
Mine Xperia T has a great display but makes this contrast trick in some situations.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
That's software "feature" for better battery. But I'd like to know if anyone could delete it in custom kernel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
If it gives better battery life it has at least positive aspect.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ronhoover88:
Thinking of buying this device Xperia T, but this thread is making me think otherwise

I really hated the Samsung's amoled screens for ghosting, hope i wont regret after buying this.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doministry:
Well the screen is definitely NOT mediocre but rather very impressive...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
I had S2 too and i had display problems with it too. Yellow tint (got replace) and after that "ghosts". I went for LCD displays expected to be without problems and got T with faulty screen (I call it faulty because even xperia x8 and xperia active screens have superior's viewing angles in compare to that T)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ronhoover88:
So, should i go for T?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
You should. I liked it. Display is I thing very good if you will get that "better". Otherwise T is better in everything than S2.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] leopard_vn:
Please upload some pictures display and TFV so I can compare.Thanks

Is it possible to make apps from java netbeans??if yes how can i. as i know how to use netbeans

sent from heaven
[General Questions and Answers] Toughdroid:
Yes Netbeans is great for Android development. There is an Android plugin for it. However, Eclipse has gotten a lot more stable than it was a couple of years ago and it's quite usable. I use both every day for Android work.
[General Questions and Answers] HEXcube:
Official Support

But the official support is only for Eclipse, isn't it? Both Eclipse & NetBeans are open source IDEs.Eclipse is community maintained and NetBeans is owned by ORACLE. I think Google officially supports/recommends Eclipse for Android Development and distributes ADT for integration of Android SDK with Eclipse.

I am trying to sim network unlock my One XL from AT&T to use on vodacom in south africa while on vacation. I am rooted and have CM10 09/26 nightly installed and Baseband 0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L (not sure if these make a difference trying to provide as much info as possible).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Feinar:
I think there is no "best of the best" rom. Each user has a different preferencies, choosing the ROM is very personal. So im afraid you need to try them all by yourself :). But for start point i can recommend the CM10, last Nightly for example. Pretty stable, has no critical bugs. And has a good pack of minor additions compared to stock rom. But not overweighted by different mods.
