[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
For all those who are complaining still saying they made a wrong choice over XZ buying a Butterfly or a HTC one .. try this and let us see if you still complain :)

and for others who are happy with the XZ :) this will make you even more happy..

First on the settings display white balance set your white balance settings as 9 /220 that is the hue / saturation settings

next set your display brightness to about 95% or even 100..

install this app from the play store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kovit.p.filteryourscreen&feature=search_result

this app will not require any root

once you open this app set the filter to Alpha as 65 and rest all 0 and apply to your screen and see the difference , you may feel a bit less bright than before but now after applying the filter see your phone from all angles and see if you still see washed out colors , I have tried it and works absolutely fine love my XZ even more :D

Hit thanks If it helped you...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] thienbrand:
If there's any way to make higher saturation.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
to be honest if you are looking at your home screen for example the best way to get more saturation is to open your wallpaper in album app take a screen shot and then apply it as wall paper , other wise album n movies anyways increase the saturation.. so thats a workaround :)
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
also there is settings on the flter app where you can tinker with RGB so you have on screen realtime display with filter so you can set it as per your needs ,.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
The best way to increase the saturation using the fiter is use the below formula to set it ... as per your liking :)

changing the saturation you would increase all of the values by the same amount for example 150,250,150.

so if you set R to 150 set G to 250 and B to 150 so R and B same value and 75% more to the G

this way the saturation will increase without increasing the brightness..

Hope this helps...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] shulmus:
to be honest, i don't seem to see any serious difference besides that the screen is dimmer. sorry
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] heretic:
+1. I think the same effect could be achieved just by lowering the backlight brightness to minimum.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
did u try fidelling the rgb ? i did that
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] OsiBasi:
Xperia Z has the best screen I've seen... I've tried the HTC1 and S-Note II.

I like my white, white not weirdish yellow like the note or bluishlike the HTC.

Becides white, this screen produces all the colours very well, taking a screenshot viewing it on my tv they look identical sending it to my arc the colours were more brighter and blurry. My s2 is broken. So don't know there.

Tl:dr

I don't understand what anyone means with the colours being washed out.

I don't even have angle problems
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Andrewtst:
It only dimmed down the screen. Not really working.

more hope anyone can make the bravia engine 2 working everywhere. This will make the screen one step ahead.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ethan3686:
that aint going to happen..although i'd like to see bravia engine on unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Bioschnitzel:
Bravia Engine sucks, it destroyes so much details in pictures...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Akiainavas:
Sorry but it doesn't work, and it couldn't possibly work. The filter doesn't affect how anything is rendered, it only applies a filter on the top of the image that can make it darker and lower the saturation - it can't make it higher though as this would require modifying the rendering driver.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Montague:
That app is exactly doing what the stock white balance filter is doing, no....?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
not really , the app does not have the access to the actual screen drivers to it tries to filter or tweak the existing display area by applying the filtetr,

I realised it basically dims the screen by putting a layer of transperancy and then tweaks that not great for outdoors but indoors you will get a good visiblity with the tweak,

The permanent bravia engine is something I am sure devs need to find out.. not very hard nor easy ,,, just need to find the right code that when we open album app the BE2 gets triggered if that trigger can be added to the init.d script I think we will have permanent BE2 on all areas..
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] G1_enthusiast:
Bravia engine only works during gallery and video, doesnt work with regular use...or so i believe
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
yes , so when u open gallery or video the BE2 script or app may start so if we find that out and include it in the startup script that should give overall BE2 NO?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] G1_enthusiast:
I'm confused, u want to stop BE2 or enable it all the time? U can stop BE2 all together by trying to unlock vootloader
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
I want to enable it all the time , so therefore better home screen and other apps ... for example when you open lets a wallpaper app like HD wallpapers , the pics appear allready with the BE2 applied..
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] G1_enthusiast:
From what I seen the BE2 produce more whites then regular so not sure if that will work to your advantage
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] anirudhks:
nobody could figure out the way it works from BE1 days so not having high hopes it will be done for the BE2 , just a wishlist :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesser Version:
Is there a kernel out there that fixes the choppy video playback when streaming from HBO Go, Xfinity, Google Play Movies. The only video application that has ever yielded consistent results on my N10 is VUDU. I have tried multiple roms and kernels, yet still get the same results. Are there settings within a certain kernel that is yielding a better experience? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bloodiedwraith:
So odd observation about 4.0.26; I have it on my VZW Galaxy Nexus and my AT&T HTC One (both were OTA updates, not downloaded manually) and on the Galaxy Nexus when I hit the top right button the top option says "My apps" and on the HTC One it says "My Apps" (which should be the correct way).

Anyone have it say it correctly (My Apps) on their Galaxy Nexus or is it just like mine (My apps)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
It does indeed says My apps on my device as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vfan23:
+1 Mine too. Lol. I think that's a stock Google issue. Says it on my Nexus 7 too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
well based on the quick overview i saw of the HTC One from I think androidcentral, the out of box play store looked like the old version but claimed to be updated. That along with the change in the stock browser AT&T had them make leads me to believe that perhaps the HTC One is special, and the AT&T variant is even more unique.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironictonic:
Hi guys,

I've got a big problem. Ich recently updated cm10.1 on my S3 and after that I realised that my GPS isn't working anymore.

The GPS was working under cm10.1 but it really suffered and took very long to find GPS signal.

That is what i tried already:

Clear data google framework

Install GPS test -> clear data

install different ROM -> paranoid android 3.15 ( i know its cm10.1 based)

restore my backup which i made right after rooting my phone ( my first one ; stock ROM)

I think the last thing i can try is to fully reset my phone on original sammyfom via Odin, the problem is i dont have a PC only a Mac and at work I dont have admin rights.

Is it necessary to have admin rights to flash via odin?

Any other tips odr suggestion?

Thank you

The best battery saving rom is CM9 with the older 2.6.35 kernel. So for example Arcos CM9 RC2 or RC3, the older Slimbeam ROM or this mentioned SmoothieICS. (The other two ones are just modified and themed CM9 RC2 or RC3) For even better results you need an undervolting 2.6.35 Kernel.

My battery for example lasts 3-5 days with CM9 RC2 and Arcos stock kernel. With my personal uv kernel it lasts even more.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] egagah:
But smoothieics claims it has deep sleep implemented xD. Any way I can get a hold if your custom kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Sure. Just drop me your e-mail via PM and I will compile one with stock voltages you then can adjust with incredicontrol to your needs. It´s because my kernel is preset to extreme undervolting voltages and that might be to much undervolting for your cpu.

Btw Arcos kernel has also deep sleep implemented and all custom kernels are basing on arcos kernel, so not only SmoothieICS is going into deepsleep but all custom roms are doing it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] egagah:
your awake time to screen on ratio suggests to me that your battery life could be far better than it currently is! download WLD or wakelock detector and see what is keeping your phone awake so frequently =). Then u can get greenify to hibernate the app when u r not actually using it =D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hundred_miles_high:
Unfortunately the two main culprits are K9 email and ebay, both of which are pretty important for me to have running and not in a hibernated state.

However, from the last charge on my phone I have got 2 days, 4 hours, 29 mins with 12% battery remaining - so could be worse I suppose :D

[HTC One X] mattmanwrx:
Hi All,

I really hate running RUU's, but now I think I must run one, and use the newer kernel..

I have HTC_001 - with my version being the .401. one...

I have now downloaded two RUU's that both fail on the Signature Error - Error code 132.

I'm fastboot oem lock, then running the RUU... Is there anything I must do?

At the moment I'm restoring my nandroid backup from before trying (tried at least 10 since last night, 2 different computers too), as I need my phone...

Is there any other way to do it? I just want a newer hboot, but am on 0.43 now...

Any help apprciated...

Thanks, Matt

EDIT: I'm on <fastboot getvar mainver> 1.26.401.2 - I'm now downloading an ICS ruu, and if that works, will do the ota (hopefully)... Still any help appreciated..
[HTC One X] hpnxfox:
Could you do: fastboot get main-version

If you wont to upgrade to JB with RUU i think your HBOOT version is to low, so you first need to upgrade firmware:

1. You can upgrade firmware to "middle" version if you use ICS RUU

2. Then you can use JB RUU, or only JB firmware

cid firmware for you :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 this is the latest HBOOT.

But first post info after : fastboot get main-version
[HTC One X] mattmanwrx:
haha, just edited my post... 1.26.401.2

But how can I upgrade my firmware - this ruu is supposed to do that...

As said, I'm downloading an ICS ruu, then I guess will OTA if that works... - Only thing is... The ruu will take at least 1 Hour to download, with my bad download speeds... :(
[HTC One X] hpnxfox:
So, yes you need first to use RUU with matching

CID and main version

, then you can do OTA upgrade all the way to JB and HBOOT 1.39..

But be aware if you do officially OTA upgrade to JB yours phone touch.img will be also updated and you have problems with touch in custom recoveries like CWM or TWRP!

If you do official update to JB:

1. TWRP 2.5.0.0 or 2.4.0.0 - reapcked version have touch but usb mass storage in recovery and adb isn't functional

2. CWM 6.0.3.0-have adb and usb mass storage but no touch because of developer restriction

So it is better to upgrade OTA to latest ICS version and manually just upgrade HBOOT to 1.39..
[HTC One X] mattmanwrx:
Thanks, will give it a go...

If anything, I will compile a touch version of CWM and use that for personal use... (I have done in the past (6.0.2.7)).

So if this ICS ruu works, then just the FW JB Flasher Tool to upgrade to latest hboot? If so, sounds good :)
[HTC One X] hpnxfox:
To flash firmware with fastboot commands after you upgrade to latest ICS - i am not using tools ore similar one click tools , but for flashing firmware you cant just flash

You need to lock bootloader again for flashing firmware (it should bee locked already because you need to lock to flash RUU) and then when phone is in bootloader(fastboot usb mode actually):

1.fastboot oem rebootRUU

2.fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

After HBOOT upgrade boot to hboot to check is it really there, and then unlock bootloader again, and flash custom recoveries..

And here are the links for working custom recoveries(with mentioned restrictions in previous post) if you decide to upgrade via OTA all the way to JB
