Why dont you try going through a few threads here? You'll have your answer.

Short answer: Viewing angles worse than N4 even though overall screen quality is much better. If you have a habit of looking at your phones obliquely, dont buy the ZL.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ah_hin:
I just went to a Sony store to check it out in person, I really think the display is not bad at all. you should definitely go to the store to see it on person, I am planning to get it once it will be on sale this coming week.
[Sony Xperia ZL] paullu:
I got my zl 6506 for three days now

my old one is sony lt29i first time compare to my lt29i

it looks not very bright not colorfully but after couple days

it looks not bad at all I don't know how to say it but for me

I can accept and very good device
[Sony Xperia ZL] hondaguy:
I have had mine for 3 weeks and I think the screen is great. Viewing angles are not great, but in my daily use and in my personal opinion the screen looks great. I don't look at my screen from odd angles so it is never an issue for me. Webpages and YouTube videos look fantastic
[Sony Xperia ZL] crazyjimbo:
It will be on sale? Where? The lowest price I've seen is about $577 on amazon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] crazyjimbo:
Thanks everyone for the replies!
[Sony Xperia ZL] TechLife:
I personally look the device at local Market, some of Bad issue with the screen is or May be we can say Bad-luck of Sony is that the Software UI Background Color is Grey & its not in Black color, it's the main reason the screen is not looking good & everyone judge it as a washout screen,If we change the theme of Xperia Z the Screen looking Good at All.so I think its same for ZL too.

So viewing Angle are still not good as in IPS panel are, but remember the viewing angle issue is raised in just the Case of Xperia Z/ZL Cause Sony using the same TFT panel in all of their Smartphones & since than No one Complain or Raise even about A bit for the viewing angles,

Xperia T/TX are using same TFT screen Panel but no one said in their reviews that the Viewing angles are Bad & are Washout.But there is actually need to Point out the issue because poeple Spend A lot of their Hard erning Money & in result they don't Get the good thing.

In the Same sense with our TVs Picture Settings in Our Family member Set it to Vivid, some one came(suppose Papa) and set it too Standard & you like Soft or any of Factory settings given in Picture Mode of your TV.

so the point is that the Everyone have their own Preference for the Colors & look on something.

Although we all Admit that Sony should Put the IPS Panel screen in their High End Smartphone, there is no Lag or Cons in Xperia ZL either than of slightly viewing angle, Because in Some situations we must have need for Viewing Angles(not all the time), In that condition the screen Fade out is really a shame for the owner of device as well Sony too because we having a High end smartphone and the screen is Fading in some conditional bloody angles.

I'm saying again there is no any Smartphone which is Perfect in All of their Aspects.

Htc having Heavy software,as well the Htc oneX+ is A issue with its wifi by manufacture, Some People Blaming Sony for their Late Updated Schdule for Software, But remember & check the Htc is having same thing with Software updating schedule, and Samsung having their own bloatwares type software in their mobiles. The Clean and Best nearly Stock Android you Can found in Xperia Z/ZL Smartphone in Form of Jelly Bean (4.1.2).

Also the App "screen Calibration" is putted in Xperia ZL for screen Adjustment by user Preference.

Mostly the chance is that the Latest Software May set all of the issue Regarding our Concerns.

Go in your Nearly Store & check for yourself the screen how its looking to you, leave that how its looking to another person.

God Bless you
[Sony Xperia ZL] darkjedi:
I've been using the C6506 since April 3rd and I can honestly say that I *really* love the display. Calibrating with the WB app really helped and everything looks really sharp. I couldn't care less about the viewing angles, because honestly, how many times do I really need to look at the phone off-angle? I moved from an iPhone 5 for this phone and it's far, far better.

[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
Could anyone tell me what is an lpa bug?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Low Power Audio

:)
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
Yep, I've already knew this, by asking what is it I meant how does it interrupt daily usage.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

LPA (Low Power Audio) Playback (broken in all JB roms, and has been for awhile, needs ION)

:)
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
OMG, but I cant really understand what Low Power Audio mean. Show me some examples when i face it, like this - BSOD is when your screen is black after you try to unlock it.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Low Power Audio uses the ION memory mapper to save power.

LPA uses less CPU power by using the ION mapper instead of passing it through the Audio Flinger process.

Passing audio through the Audio Flinger process uses a lot more CPU cycles, which means the battery doesn't last as long as it could with LPA.

If you use Sense (3.0/3.6/4.0/4+) you'll use LPA when playing MP3s, FLACs or any other audio file. I'm not sure if CM9 or CM7 use LPA.

(For example, you can play music at 3% battery power for forty minutes to an hour with LPA. Without LPA, you could only play music for ten to thirty minutes.)
[HTC Sensation] Useless-Guy:
That just means that your phone will consume a bit more power while listening to music when the screen is off than it would do on ICS / stock ROM (the android version your phone came with).

So... not that big of a deal ;)
[HTC Sensation] szotaa:
And thats what I wanted to hear! Thanks guys. Could you say how big is that battery drain?
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I found with LPA battery drain is around 3-5% with an hour of listening. Without LPA 8-10%. It's not exact as it differs depending on your phone and the amount of applications running in the background.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyshaq:
Hi all,

This has happened to me twice now and I can't figure out how to fix this.

When you make a call you have your standard options on your screen such as mute, speaker, numbers etc. However after a few minutes the screen naturally turns off and there is no way to turn it back on again without having to press the Sleep button.

The reason why this is a problem is if you want to enable/disable mute, speakerphone or you need to input a number as in my case i was on hold for a long time to a call centre.

I tried to press the back button as well as home, but both did nothing and finally the volume buttons but that didn't activate the screen. The only button you can press is the Sleep button but that will end the call.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LadFromWales85:
When you are on the phone, the screen should turn off when the phone is near your ear, pretty much immediately, and come back on soon after you take it away. Unless you are using speaker phone of course.

Perhaps a problem with your proximity sensor?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jme369:
The sleep button only ends the call if you set it too.

Hi

I have this problem with my friends galaxy ace GT-S5839i:

I need someone to help me here because I don't know what to do

I pulled the file framework-res.apk from system and then changed the extension to zip, and changed an image inside one of the folders.

After that I zipped the pack again (tried several zip options) and changed the extension back to apk

My first question: Is this ok?

I copied the changed file to sdcard and using es explorer moved the file to system/framework. Imediately After answering if I wanted to overwrite the phone freezes and never booted again.

I restored the rom and tried several times with same result

I tought the problem would be trying to overwrite a file that's in use but then I found a tool the decompiled the original apk, changed the image, compiled and signed it and made a flashable zip of it.

It gsve always error in trying to flash this on recovery so I extrated the compiled and signed new framwork apk and moved it to system with es explorer... The difference now is that it didn't froze the phone but started to show fc's everywhere. Rebooted, wipede cash and dalvik, messed up woth permissions... Everything I could think of and the result os always tbe same...

Please can amyone share a light here?

Thanks

Edit: Nothing I found there worked...

The only solution was install a different rom (previously had a stock rooted 2.3.6) v4.1

Changed the framework file from the rom and flashed it...

Its working now but still don't know why the previous actions didn't work

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Huku6600:
Can anyone tell me how to

disable

autostarting of Music app when headphones are pluged in?

Can't find anything about this in settings (both in app and mod settings).

Didn't find anything about this here (or somewhere in the internetz).

Am I the only one annoyed by this "feature"? :eek:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
Music app starts because of a loose contact in the headphone jack.

Whenever you plug in your headphones the phone thinks you pressed the media button on the headset that shipped with the phone (it has a fourth contact on it's jack).

To disable this I used an App called Autostarts: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts

In this app you have to look for the event "Media button pressed" and then disable forwarding this event to music app.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Huku6600:
Thanks for the suggestion!

...But it sounds a bit like cracking nuts with a microscope.

What I can think of is to install an application that "steals" the event from the music app and disable autostarting from within this app. But this solution is far away from elegance also.

There should be a quick and elegant solution.

Maybe a short script that prevents forwarding of this event to music app?!...

...which, unfortunately, is beyond my abilities. :/
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
I don't think you can "steal" the event from a specific app.

The more media players you install the more receivers of the MediaButtonPressed event are in the list so I guess the event is a broadcast that every app can choose to receive and react to.

Autostarts' description says it can disable app components, but needs root access too - otherwise it will be in read-only mode.

So I guess if you knew exactly what the app does with root rights you should be able to reproduce it without the app.

But it's getting complicated again.

I think the easiest and also most comforable way is to somehow get this app (there's no free version unfortunately) and disable receiving of the broadcast for music apps.

Done.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Huku6600:
You were right.

I installed Winamp first. Plugging the headphones began to start Winamp. When I turned off its option to control the headset, the music app began to start.

Then I decided to freeze the music app via Titanium Backup, and voila. Problem solved. After restarting the phone even music app icon disappeared from the menu.

Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

Thanks for the useful info!

Now I just have to find a lightweight player that doesn't autostart when the headphones are plugged in or that has an option to disable autostarting. Winamp is not so good lately.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
I prefer Player Pro - but yet again - this app is not free...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apkapkapk:
Hey guys wanna check if anyone's experienced this and if anyone has a fix for these issues.

Firstly, after rooting, I noticed that I always get a message saying "Android is upgrading" every reboot. I've tried foxes suggested in other threads of other phones but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone experiencing the same thing?

The second issue is upon changing the dpi in build.prop to 320, the phone.apk and dialer in contacts.apk messes up in the sense that there is no call button. I've used App Settings to change the individual dpi of each app back to 480 but the call button is not restored. Only when build.prop is 480 does it come back.

Anyone can help with the above issues? :/ can't find anything in the forums about these.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Which ROM are you using, because almost all of the ROM installs advise to factory reset and delete cache etc, in which case I don't think you should not get upgrading apps message on first boot.

Something is not right with your delvik cache, this normally only occurs when you clear your delvik cache. I would suggest backup, factory reset, reinstalling a ROM, then root.

As you are new to this I will answer you, all features you missed are found in Samsung based roms only, and slimrom isn't Samsung based rom it is some thing called aosp which is the pure Google os. (without any Samsung apps) so to have these apps again you have to download and install any Samsung based rom called 'Tw' Touch Wizard roms, but please read before you do any thing to be sure not to do any thing wrong

Hey all.

Having issues with my AT&T HTC One X/Evita. When you open the camera after initially turning on the phone, the camera works, though focus and taking photos is laggy.

After closing the camera, when you try to reopen it, it opens to a black screen and promptly closes with the error "cannot connect to camera" when running sense-based ROMs, and when running CM10 the app locks up with a black screen.

This issue is across multiple ROMs (viperXL, cm10 ParanoidAndroid, cm10.1 nightly) and I was curious is anyone has advice. I'm running the latest TWRP and haven't over clocked the CPU, nor have I manually adjusted voltages.

Thanks in advance.

Could be a kernel flashing issue. You can also try downgrading twrp. Latest version has been known to be buggy on our devices. ADB erase cache, then do the normal wipe procedures in twrp 2.3.xxx, flash a rom and see if that fixes your issue. Might be something if ruu does not work.
