Re: Xperia Z IPS Screen PHENOMENAL with good viewing angles! [POST 1 VIDEOS UPDATED13

Yeah heard that they had one too. At prahran they had the power saver mode in, as well as stamina. I'm wondering if that's what caused the laggy screen transitions...even with a few widgets I'd expect the s4 pro to be smoother than it was. Wish I had time to try another launcher on it. In case anyone is interested, it had been on 3 days, 2 hours and was at 69 percent. 40 minutes screen time at full brightness. No SIM card in there though, was on WiFi. This will be the biggest factor for me, really need 3 hours plus screen on time on 4g.

Remember these are not the final product. The final unit will be better. And yes power saver mode does try to conserve power
[Xperia Z General] Telomeresis:
Well, earlier today, I was at a Sony Concept store, and suffice to say... all the talk about bad-viewing angles is grossly exaggerated.

Coming from a Galaxy Note (AMOLED display), I'm extremely pleased with the Xperia Z.

Ignore this part. ->

It's not an IPS display, but for a TFT display, it's damn good. Off-center viewing angles aren't bad at all. Comparing it to older phones that lack an IPS display... that's BAD. (My previous iPhone 3GS comes to mind) <- Ignore this part.
[Xperia Z General] xl VipeR lx:
Re: Xperia Z IPS Screen PHENOMENAL with good viewing angles! [POST 1 VIDEOS UPDATED13

The Xperia Z DOES HAVE AN IPS DISPLAY. NOT ALL IPS DISPLAYS HAVE THE SAME VIEWING ANGLES.

Also, IPS is still TFT. It is an IPS TFT LCD.

Sony confirmed it in their blogs.

TFT LCD (Thin film transistor liquid crystal display) is a variant of liquid crystal display (LCD) which uses thin-film transistor (TFT) technology to improve image qualities such as addressability and contrast. TFT LCD is an active matrix LCD, in contrast to passive matrix LCDs

[Xperia Z General] emorej:
I guess screen will look washed-out if you put the phone on full brightness, reducing it to 50-70% will give you a better quality. Thats always the case in some phones. And it will also depend on wallpapers used, some wallpapers like lighter one will make the display look wahed out.
[Xperia Z General] xl VipeR lx:
Re: Xperia Z IPS Screen PHENOMENAL with good viewing angles! [POST 1 VIDEOS UPDATED13

Possibly, but one of the xda users works for vodafone, they have a production dev unit. The screen quality is on par or better than one . Feedback so far is 70 percent brightness is optimal. Anything more than that is for outdoor use
[Xperia Z General] emorej:
Agree with that, full brightness in any phone will just wash out the screen and its not good in the eye, there should be balance to get the optimized screen. Most of the youtube video reviews sometimes are using phones at full brightness.

Re: Xperia Z IPS Screen PHENOMENAL with good viewing angles! [POST 1 VIDEOS UPDATED13

Do you have any source for this?

Not to doubt you, just because I'm very curious to how this phone will act outside in direct sunlight.

Reflections, brightness, etc, most of my previous smartphones suck to use outside, so I'm very curious if Sony has made the z any better (or worse for that matter).
[Xperia Z General] dibdin:
My Arc and S fared pretty well all told in direct sunlight, so I like to think the Z will fare even better.
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
Maximum brightness is similar to the Xperia S, but sunlight legibility is a bit better.
[Xperia Z General] katamari201:
Get over it people. The reviews are in. Check out the reviews thread. The viewing angles suck big time. Just like the CEs models. And all the ahnds-on pre-production models. It was delusional to think Sony had some "cheaper" 1080p screen lying around to show to the press during CES, and mere weeks before launch in Japan. The panel is not IPS. NOT IPS. People smokin' crack. IPS panels have varying color shift and brightness changes off-center depending on the panel, but it doesn't get washed out. That's kind of the whole point of IPS. Like saying an AMOLED panel has bad blacks. Equally ridiculous.

The display in the Xperia Z is currently the worst of the 5" 1080p displays. The HTC Butterfly/DNA and OPPO Find 5 have true IPS displays. The Xperia Z display also has poor blacks and poor brightness output for an LCD display in general, aside from the poor viewing angles and drab colors. Devices like the upcoming HTC M7 and Galaxy S IV are guaranteed to have far better 1080p displays.

Another disappointment is the 13MP camera. It's not noticeably better than last year's phones. The quad-core krait is hardly new. Several phones already have it, dozens more will show up in a few months, and by the holiday season you'll see it in mid-range budget phones. There will be 8-core phones at the top tier, like the upcoming Exynos.

If you are going to get this phone, know that this is more of an appetizer phone than the main course for 2013. LG is usually dablling in this area. The G2x was the harbinger of (much) better dual-core phones. The Optimus 4x to quad-core 720p phones. They were never the stars, and cobbled together quickly to be the first ones out the door.

The Xperia Z has a very interesting chassis, but the screen is subpar if you ignore the 1080p resolution and the camera isn't even an upgrade at all. You should wait for something better. Much better. I'm interested in either the HTC M7 or the coming Nokia Lumia with true PureView.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navymoss35:
I'm not new to this, been flashing roms since 2010. I'm running rooted ELK4 4.1.2. i want to flash the latest update from Samung, the official 4.1.2, yes I know I will lose root, I'm fine with that. I already did triangle away to prepare to go stock. Now, I bought the I9300 off amazon, so I know not of where it came from. How do I know what version of 4.1.2 to download from sammobile? Hope it's not a stupid question, because I looked for 2 days and couldn't find and answer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.T.J0hnnie:
I think you can flash whichever stock rom you want...why not?I mean you can flash custom ROMs with CSC ELLA without the stock ones being available in your country.The only issue which you have is unavailable OTA updates(with custom ROMs which is obvious :P )..So I think you should flash tha latest stock ROM available in YOUR country from sammobile.Anyway you can find s3's country by giving its IMEI number to your local samsung delegation.And you could ask them too in order to be sure. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navymoss35:
there is no american stock rom for the I9300 on sammobile
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.T.J0hnnie:
You didnt mention you're from America..You can't find it cause I9300 is not available there I think.As I said before I think that you can flash wichever stock for I9300 model but I'm not sure so you can either wait for another answer or ask your local samsung delegation.

I just flashed it again using Odin. See screenshot.

I just booted into recovering and its not grey. Its still blue with options like reboot system now...apply update from ADB...Wipe factory ect...

I am trying to figure out whats going on.

THANKS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
I believe that would be the stock recovery, looks like CWM didn't flash. I would recommend installing a custom recovery and rooting + unlocking using a different method which is much easier.

Edit: I've always just odined back to 4.0.4 and rooted + unlocked using easier methods than 4.1. That would be my recommendation since I've never tried rooting 4.1. Start with section 5 of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 and continue from there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric0668:
I already trouble shot it with Google but I figured I would ask here as most of you know more than they.

I already did a factory reset 3 days ago because I deleted a file I shouldn't have. But now it has come down to them recommending me do another and then getting back if it still persists.

The problem is when I turn my screen back on I see white spots all over the screen for 2-3 seconds. I can't imagine why, or even why a factory reset is going to fix.

I have NEVER dropped (cross fingers) or got it wet, and truthfully have no idea how to tell and wouldnt want to begin taking the back off.

I am most certain there is no water damage

So I have tried:

Switched Wallpapers

Turned phone off then on

Switched from Apex to Launcher

Still there. I am posting a pic below. If anyone could help I would be most grateful.

Again you prolly know more than most of their employees

One time when I had a problem, but eventually got fixed, this is what I was told, they will do an advanced replacement, BUT I have to pay $350, then get it back when they get and verify the phone I send

I am not working so would not be able to do that. I suppose I could switch to my phone of choice I have here and just send it in?

Or I was told contact LG where there is no downpayment needed.

In either case, back then I was told there was stock for this type of situation, now I am told they no longer have any? You have any idea when they will catch up

THANKS for even taking time to read this, and even more if you can help

Eric
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipL:
Hi

Can't imagine what sort of hardware issue or fault would cause that, it looks like some sort of effect done by software.

You need to reset your phone and go back to the stock ROM (if not already using that) and then see if it still does it, I suspect it will not.

Regards

Phil

Is there a way to turn the screen on of the Nexus 4 without using the power button ? Maybe a gesture that you can do on the screen ? flip the screen over ? I'm open to any idea ! If possible, I would like to hear of something that has been actually tested on a nexus 4 as I don't want to screw up my phone in any way. I'm sure I'm not the only one that is worried about wearing out their phone's power button !

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaddan:
I use intellicover and it works awesome. Uses your proximity sensor and you can just move your hand over it to wake the phone up. Only problem is it is on all the time, so if I'm playing a game and move my hand over the proximity sensor, it shuts the screen off. Really easy to disable though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilHuntz:
TOUCH CONTROL is awesome, all gesture controls. Pick the start and end area of your gesture to turn your screen on or set it to double tap to wake.

To turn display off swipe left to right or right to left across dock area. Nice thing about using gestures over using proximity sensor is in and out of pocket wont wake your display and if your holding your phone with say one hand its pretty tough an awkward to extend your thumb across your screen in order to wave past your sensor, where as gesture can all be done using just one hand and one finger.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoolc:
touch control is awesome, but consume lot of battery. one day I test the power consumption, turn on 3G data only, non wifi or GPS signal, pull off the plug at 00:00, when I wake up at 7:00, the power remain 81%. I only install two apps, facebook and whatsapp. :crying:

Touch control app on my phone doesn't use hardly any power at all. It isn't in the list of apps under battery and isn't even causing any wakelocks that I can see, and i'm still getting my usual 3-5 hours screen on (depending what i'm doing) and over 20 hours standby.

I seriously recommend this app.

The sweep2wake thing in faux's kernel take two swipes every time to turn my phone on so I use the app.

Hey folks! Some of you may know me from my many, many Android YouTube videos, if not, that's ok, nobodies perfect! hehe j/k

So my super crappy Western Digital media player is starting to kick the bucket, so i've been looking into alternatives. I only learned about Android sticks after i picked up my WD media player ( i don't think there were any available when i bought my media player).

So now i want a great Android stick for my living room TV.

Based on my full day of research, i've come to the conclusion that the MK809 and the iMito MXII are the best of the best at the time of this posting.

So i suppose i'm looking for this awesome communities help in picking one. I just can't seem to be able to tell the real differences between the two.

I wouldn't mind the option of an easy root, but rooting isn't completely needed, considering i spend most of my time in the office on the computer, but my wife spends all her time in the living room...so she won't be in to all of the custom ROMs and such that i would be.

With that all said, which of these two would you fine folks recommend? Or should i start looking into a different model?

I am looking for hopefully the best of the best...i'm ok spending a little more money on something else if it's worth it, but i would like to stick with the whole Android stick concept (pun totally intended :p )

Cheers!

Jared
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] fr0d0#2:
Hi Jared!

I'd say the MX1. Just because I'd like to see you put out some videos for it! :D

I guess the two you have chosen are the best of the rockchip models right now. You have to pay quite a bit more for guaranteed quality. That is : more robust micro USB ports, better WiFi antenna/ placement. WiFi for me has been perfect without modification, and I'm taking extra care of those ports!

Best of luck with your purchase, whatever you end up getting! ;)

I don't know your WD media player but do know that those both don't do DTS/AC3 passthrough over HDMI.

These Rockchip dual cores just don't cut it yet.

I'm waiting for mini-pcs that will do multichannel passthrough and i'm waiting for the better quadcore devices that'll be released in a not so distant future, those will cut it and those can replace my massive htpc.

Correct me if i'm wrong (about the DTS/AC3 passthrough).
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] TheSmokingAndroid:

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Frag1le:
Perhaps another tip:

Also know that in April this year (ETA, so they say) the Ouya and the Gamestick will be launched.

XBMC already announced it will support the Ouya fully.

The Ouya will have a quadcore tegra 3 (like the HTC One X(+) (fully unlocked and hackable, with active cooling meaning major overclocking)), which is now already faster then any Android mini pc on the market. It will get it's own gamemarket and controllers, ethernet port etc.

Haven't read anything about DTS passthrough tho, but as it's that hackable it'll probably be a short time before that's available.

Really excited about the $99 Ouya
