No, the screen viewing angles are fine for me. And, yes I can read my text messages from an angle (screen placed flat on my computer table). I think the "viewing angle" issue has been exaggerated a wee bit, wrt XZ or sony smartphones. Although its not as good as AMOLEDs but not as bad either. Btw, where did u find a review on ZL? I think there is a review for XZ on gsmarena but not for ZL yet.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
AW: Check your ZL's display manufacturer

Thanks for your reply! Sorry, I messed it up, review was from androidpolice:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ew-dangerously-close-to-smartphone-greatness/
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
I read the review, and I think either the review unit was faulty or the reviewer wasn't thorough (perhaps biased)! For instance, the battery backup is not even nearly as bad. I get 5+ hrs of screen on time and over a day's standby time with moderate use, see here (post #3&5). Lol and it says "not as fast/smooth as note2" which I can tell is not true (had a note2 before). Be it any app launching, locking/unlocking lockscreen, app drawer, gaming, boot up or restart etc, the ZL at least matches note2, if not outperforming it. Only downside is the occasional sttuters while scrolling homescreens on ZL (while using weather/photo widget) that could easily be fixed by sony in an update. I don't have any lag in camera, and overall the camera quality is better than note2 (although it could improve on the aggressive post processing/smoothening, especially in good light). About display viewing angles, I've attached a couple of pics below. Most other views (like on construction/software etc) were subjective imo.

I suggest u to have a look at ZL in person (if available locally) or wait for a detailed review from any reputable tech site. Lol, such reviews tend to make all of us (who've come from note2) sound as fools :D!

Sharp screen.

It looks good when looking right at it.

Turn it ever so slightly and it turns to ****, really bad when using google now and its on your desk at the side almost impossible to read.

Had the phone 4 hours and I am just going to get rid of it...
[Sony Xperia ZL] augie7107:
Sorry you are disappointed. I've always looked directly at whatever device I was utilizing, since that is how they are intended to be used. I wonder how many people watch tv or their computer monitor from an angle?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
ZL has a very good screen imo (better than my previous Note2 & Xperia S). I'm not much into viewing angles. But I've got no issues while browsing or reading text from an angle (ranging 45 to 135 degrees). And if you view photos/videos with bravia engine on, the viewing angles don't seem that bad at all! All that said, if u find the screen not good for your use, then no point keeping it!

Btw, I see this very same post by you in the XZ section. So, do u have the ZL or Z? Coz I've seen about 8-9 different XZs so far, some with good displays, some with not so good, some even washed out ones, but none as good as my ZL display (or the demo ZL ones).
[Sony Xperia ZL] CLB-NL:
A Dutch user with a German Xperia ZL (6503) told us that he has got a '1262-4791 Manufacturer unknown' screen? Sharp?
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryude:
Maybe you have a defective device. At least try one more before you give up. Remember that even iPhone has defective screens once in a while.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bigystyle84:
All I will say

Yes the poor viewing angles are here

but I find it never matters to me - I'm always looking head on, and when its on my desk its not like I can't read anything on it....

Way way way way way overblown.

The screen is amazing head on - I came from a Note II, Nexus 4 before that and a One X prior to that, and I love the ZL screen.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryude:
I currently have a HTC 8X, but ordered a ZL yesterday. On my 8X it has SLCD2. When viewing 30-45° it is still readable but the screen dims and colors desaturate. Is it worse than that?

[Sony Xperia ZL] DREMA:
I got a Sharp on my C6506 from Mexico Telcel.

Is the JDC really worst?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Edited: After comparing my ZL with a couple of XZs of my friends it seems the newer retail units of Xperia Z do have equally good displays afterall. So, I stand corrected. Screens on the retail units of both the XZ & ZL are good perhaps only differing slightly in the factory colour calibration.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryude:
Just got my ZL and honestly it has good viewing angles imo. I guess some people are just really picky. This is the best screen I've seen and videos don't even do it justice.

I just tried to use the app to find which panel I have, but it says "unknown manufacturer".

Panel ID: 1262-4791
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Yours is probably the sharp panel like all of us (except one). I got the same message with that app (see post #20&21 few pages back), so eventually rooted to confirm my display type.

But with that .apk I only get this...

And if I Google on that type / number I can't find anything... Anyone that knows this...?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Yours might be jdc display probably. That app only works for XZ. To confirm your ZL display manufacturer you'll have to root & use the terminal emulator method. Sony seems to be shipping newer batches of XZ/ZL with jdc displays. Got myself an Xperia Z couple of days back which has jdc panel. My 2 month old ZL has a sharp display. I think both displays are good with different color calibration.

I would also like to stand corrected with regards to my earlier observations stating ZL screen to be slightly better than XZ Screen. It seems Sony has done some calibration tweaking as the newer XZ retail units come with better screens than those demo ones I compared my ZL to. My new XZ (jdc) screen has bit better viewing angles n better colour contrast than my ZL (sharp) display, but the ZL seems tad bit brighter.

[Sony Xperia ZL] ryude:
I'm curious as to why terminal emulator won't work for you. As long as you are rooted, installed the app, rebooted, and run the commands needed then it should have resulted in the panel supplier. Sometimes electronics don't always work the way we expect them to.

[Sony Xperia ZL] zargalo:
Hi. My screen is Sharp LS050T3SX02 R63311 Black. Phone model C6503 German. However, currently with firmware 10.1.A.1.434 viewing angles very poor.

I hope Sony new firmware 10.1.1.A.1.253, will bring justice to it!

To me, this phone is just so great, but it could perfect if the screen had a litle bit of more of that screen colors and viewing angle!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
Firmware will not change viewing angles.

Personally I have no issues with angles, I always watch my phone straight on and I don't want bystanders to peek at my screen too. Also, IPS screens tend to be more power-hungry due to dual transistor pixel tech. I would take battery usage over viewing angles every time.

Contrast is good, colors good, black level is great, sunlight legibility too.

In comparison, JDC screens have similar viewing angles, but much poorer contrast & black levels

Hello, i want to change my friend I9000 that he bought but can't use 3G , only GPRS. (That is not the problem, so don't mind this)

He asked me for checking this and find out what's wrong, well i was looking around stuff and figured out the phone is using lidroid 1.2 (Android 2.3.4 , kerlen 2.6.35.7 , bandbase I9000ZSJPJ)

I already know the basics of ROM stuff (I have a Galaxy Y , i have already changed the ROM and other stuffs, so you guys don't need to explain the very basics)

So, i was looking for a Jelly Bean ROM, 4.1 or 4.2 to use on his phone, my requeriments are basic:

- A nice, simple ROM

- Crash as hard as possible

- Less bugs possible (Specially on basid daily things like calling, camera, gaming ,other stuff)

- Have Portuguese language and support the Brazilian frequencies (its international so whatever)

What do you guys recommend? Plus, is I9000 modding safe? What are the chances of something going wrong? because - If something goes wrong and can't be fixed, he will kill me plus i will have to give my cellphone to him
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1ckZack:
Well first of all if your friend asks you to help him, he should know that flashing can always crash the rom!

all of them run pretty smooth and stable

if so how to flash cm & from where can i get cm for s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynamitedroid:
U can get cm for s3 from cyanogenmode.com . To flash cm u need a rooted s3 with clock work mode . Download the rom n paste it in the phone . Then go to recovery mode wipe factory data then wipe daviks catch and after that select the file from the phone in install it.. !! U are done..!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
You don't need to be on CM to overclock it and I seriously advise doing some reading, since the nature of your question indicates either a reluctance to read or a low knowledge base, in either case, messing with o/c is inadvisable until you fully understand the process/risks /problems you may encounter.

Start by looking at the kernel threads

R: how to flash cm on GT-I9300

No u dont need to change ROM to do so....it is the KERNEL that manages your cpu (through "governors" or profiles) and sets its frequencies, it will not change in any way your rom's functionality(except if you mod performance...)...

BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, I ADVISE YOU GATHER SOME INFO OFF THE WEB ABOUT OVERCLOCKING, KERNELS, ROMS, AND RECOVERIES, THEN U CAN FOLLOW MY 'INSTRUCTIONS':

For overclocking i recommend flashing through clockworkmod(a kind of recovery easily installed by downloading of the play store and using rom manager) the siyah kernel for galaxy s3.

I will although remember u that the internation s3 cpu (dont know about the usa version) has ALREADY been overclocked (from 1.2 to 1.4ghz i think, but im not sure) and overclocking it even more will result in possibly/likely faster battery drainage(i have 2800mah battery in fact).

I also advise not to overclock it above 1600mhz...cpu master app is great for this, but extweaks(app for tweaking siyah kernel) can do this as well.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Cellular:
Hi,

I have version 3.17 ROM and tried the 6.27 Radio Stack but got no signal/network at all, so I went to 4.21 and all is well again, except the GPRS disconnects when I take a call.

I wouldnt mind so much is my network (Optus-Australia) didnt charge me 20c each time I connect. Basically it means I pay for every incomming call, and an extra 20c for every outgoing call. I dont understand why they need to do that but I guess that greed would be the answer considering they charge me US$14,000 per gig of data transfer. (no not too many zero's there, its fourteen thousand dollars US per gigabyte of data transfer)

Back to the topic. I thought maybe the 6.xx radio only worked with ROM 4.00 etc, so I upgraded the ROM but found the killer-app for XDA (ICQ) wont install onto 4.00, so there was no point in that.

Does anyone know what versions of Radio Stack support the GPRS-on-hold feature? It looks like there is two different 'families' of Radio, 4.xx and 6.xx and mayby not compatible?

Any way to get always-on GPRS with a 3.xx ROM? I think 4.21 is the latest Radio in the 4.xx series ?

Either that or get ICQ to install on 4.00 ROM, and use 6.27 Radio maybe?

PS: I did see a version of a mesenger program that will work with ICQ on ROM 4.00 but it mentioned something about 'advertising' , and at $14,000 per gigabyte I need to give the advertising a miss for now :-)

- i get freq dissconect with 5ghz wifi lines

- you can get used to bleedings because there are not vissble when its an image on the screen that its not black but still .... Samsung its samsung ive espected that this proboem will not be no more ... Its about the screws that are not tighten well or at least this is what i think .

I dont like to be lied ... Google and samsung and many of the reviewers have lied to us that this its a perfect device ... So i buyied beacuse i had trust in them .. Now i very pissed off and i m not the only one ...

The device cost too much for me for what it offers + lies . shure you will hear good oppinions but how about the people who byied the units with problems from google that you sended back for a RMA. they are sell them again to people that are having good trust ...
