[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] nagash91:
Yeah, they say that the screen is not good because of the "low" resolution compared to the full HD and HD ready display (galaxy S3, S4, htc ONE, ecc..) but they say that the quality is good for an LCD, images are sharp ecc.. ecc...

I found this image on google: http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Motorola-Photon-Q-4G-LTE-Review-display.jpg

Here you can see the single pixel but these lines are not present. Now I try to take a similar picture (I don't have the original rom but the issue was present also with original rom, also with recovery etc.. so is not a software problem).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xaelith:
From 20 to 30 cm away, I don't see any banding on my screen, so it's possible that you do have a bad LCD, or at least a less than perfect one. However, from what I've seen of the problem from the pictures you've shared, if I had the same issue I would probably just put up with it, especially if the phone is great otherwise. On the other hand, what bothers me and what bothers you are likely to not be the same. ;) So use your best judgement on whether the lines are bad enough to justify replacing the "faulty" device.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Radar51515:
I have noticed exactly the sam effect on my Moto G. You need very sharp eyes to see this but with hight brightness it is there. Pure colors are not effected. Gray and light blue colours are mostly effected. I presume this is normal to mix different colours.
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
I've finally gave up my hopes on iPhone. I've tried jailbreak and beta ios 7. But I've never gotten any satisfaction like android would.

This sony is amazing btw! Coming from Samsung galaxy s3 to note 2 to iPhone 5. Yeah I know...

Anyways, it's been less than 24 hours with this phone. I do miss unlocked bootloader and being able to safely root the phone. Anyways I'll get my modding started once I've rooted my phone!

Any suggestion on accessories and Roms to try?
[Xperia Z General] Maddhouse:
My wife has got the iPhone 5 and when she asks me to do something on it i have learned my lesson and just say no strait away now I can't stand them (I racist with the iphones), I tell you what let's design a phone which you can only turn on/off/make phone calls and download some pointless game, then stick a apple on the back and call it the world's best phone.

We all pay a lot off money to BUY the up to date phones and see what they can do unlocking bl rooting ect. (if they break it they might buy another one)

Any way sorry for going off on one about iPhone at least this is the general section

Roms wise there has just been a Sony update rolling out so with take a little while for cookers to cook them up, the rom I use is a good one but has it own little bugs in it. Just test and see what you like
[Xperia Z General] dante501:
Welcome back. BUT NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON THE GOOD GUYS AGAIN OR YOU WILL BE FOR EVER BANISHED. GOT IT? LOL
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
Haha thanks for the warm welcoming :)

I just realized our phone comes with screen protector already installed!

One less thing to worry and spend money on!

I'm still debating if I should root the phone or not. It seems like very risky or prone to bricking the device.

Anyhow, is the battery quickly draining normal?

Seems like the battery isn't optimized.

(charged it to full last night) and within minutes, like 5% were gone!

Also I see that the media server is really talk g up the cpu. Can't seem to disable it. Any suggestions?
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
You probably mean the Anti-Shatter Film (ASF), which is pre-installed on your phone, contains the Sony logo, cannot be removed easily (removing it voids your warranty!) and is not very scratch-resistant unfortunately.

It's highly recommended to apply a screen protector on top of it, as soon as possible, before it's scratched! In some territories (e.g. Germany), Sony even includes a screen protector in the box.
[Xperia Z General] dante501:
U need to be rooted to freeze certain apps and i always have great battery life. But make sure ur GPS is off that ur emails account don't sinc like crazy also I have basically every sony app either uninstalled or frozen. I am on 13 and a half hours. With 5 and half hours screen on time and still have 29% battery left. And mediaserver is an android related issue. As soon u listen to any type of music it will come on and never quit running afterwards. No matter if music player or so one of the biggest one is probably Spotify really battery drainer. But u can improve ur battery if u use stamina mode on the xperia z.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Rooted and flashing is actually fairly easy on this phone. U need a ftf, flashtool, dual recovery, doomlord easy root. That's it
[Xperia Z General] Maddhouse:
As long as you don't unlock the bl for the moment then I am not sure you can brick it, a flashtool ftf will always bring it back to life
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
Thanks for the tip!

I have an insurance although they are over priced (t-mobile $10 a month)

So I will be rooting the phone tonight and read various steps and tutorials on how to. Fairly simple enough.

Now about the media server issues. Does having widget (video/music) will kill the battery? I don't really listen to music on my phone. But I'm not sure where the media server is turning on in the background (I've killed all the task as well)
[Xperia Z General] ensboarder:
Are there any custom ROMs for iPhone ?
[Xperia Z General] shahkam:
If youre rooted to get rid of mediaserver download rescan media root and disable scanner from there mediaserver should no longer drain battery nor appear in the battery section
[Xperia Z General] dante501:
Thanks super tip. I didn't know that.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
Media server is different than media scanner.

Media server can be triggered by watching YouTube or using the camera or playing music....
[Xperia Z General] bluechelsea:
U kidding me?:eek:
[Xperia Z General] ensboarder:
at least there will be a custom kernel ?
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
ios is closed and will always be profit orientated company. They even charge you for their beta... So no
[Xperia Z General] bluechelsea:
I saw idroid on iPhone, but nothing more than that.
[Xperia Z General] ensboarder:
just joking!! :laugh:
[Xperia Z General] pjgowtham:
Hope project butter beats the smoothness of ios.eagerly waiting for 4.3 update
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
Honestly tho, the beta ios 7 isn't as smooth as you might think. It feels like stuck butter at time to time and some of the animations are just too slow. Where as in android, we can control that. Personally, I like customization over the simple and cartoon like interface.

Now that being said, I'm not saying ios isn't any competition. It is and it always will be. Therefore, we'll see improvements being made for either platforms.

I don't really miss much about ios. After all, I felt like I hit the limit on how much I can do and utilize in a smartphone.

I do like the new interface and whatnot. But it stops there. This is the reason why I really missed my android.

I never thought that jailbreak would give me powerful tools to play with. But it was way too buggy and I've had to restart my phone like every hour. More like 'jail lock'

Now back to xperia z. I've noticed today that the battery has been terrible. (little over 24 hours)

Here is my battery life picture. (also stamina is enabled along with various other features to save juice )
[Xperia Z General] pjgowtham:
Youve got pretty bad battery life.if its a new xz or if u ve flashed a new firmware, wait for a week till the battery adjusts to the hardware.

If its a old xz and u have significant batt loss ,then what I would do is reset using pc suite or root my device.

There's a new firm rollin out, so update to it and check ur batt usage
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
I don't feel the need to root the device... I want to wait until the new firmware rolls out.

Are you saying that I have a bad batch of phone? and if so, how do I check this?

and about restting the device, is the PC suite route the best way?
[Xperia Z General] pjgowtham:
If your phone is new wait for a week until the battery gets adjusted to the software else if it's more than a week old then reset it using pc suite
[Xperia Z General] ckyy:
If you can unlock your bootloader then you should check out PAC Rom. Incredible on a 5" display.

[Xperia Z General] liliha:
Wow that's nearly my identical story there ...haha

I'd consider myself a pretty 'high end' jailbreak user, developing alot of my own dreamboard themes etc, very UI enthusiast. Tried iOS 7 beta for 2 weeks then decided I didn't like where apple was going ...

Traded a friend for his Z and was blown away by how open it is, I mean I knew it was open but wow ... talk about unlimited potential blank canvas.

Anyway, i'd recommend the UB way personally, PAC rom is crazy good and has a very bright future, no waiting around for official bleed down ...
[Xperia Z General] dante501:
As a person that used to work for Apple but never touch an iPhone and pad for longer then 5 minutes because totally boring. I do have a question. What direction is apple going with iOS 7? Like u chime me in?
[Xperia Z General] liliha:
Yeah its pretty bold anyway, but I think they are trying to jump in on android's ui scaling with vector based elements if I had to make a guess. I'm definitely not digging their color choices... That green phone/messages icon drove me nuts, and the blatant use if jailbreak inspired features in 7 was what really made me mad... To me apple is playing desperate now, competition has got em spooked but they are still trying to play it cool
[Xperia Z General] pjgowtham:
Everything has got its own advantages and disadvantages. Apple isn't so bad. They handle software and hardware by themselves unlike android where a lotta companies work for the hardware.

But apple spoke about android updates in wwdc2013 . He said majority of the phones are still in android 2.3 inspite of 4.2 or 4.3 which is the latest. They forgot to mention that android is opensource.!

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
Apple has finally integrated their solution of menu access. Like bluetooth, wifi, etc... They are very useful while, android had this since they were born. I do like the direction they are taking with car integration. While it's still behind in terms of customizability.

Their apps are far more superior because how smooth and less buggy it is. While androids octa core still struggles to maintain smoothness.

Besides their ui polish and apps. Apple has to do more laps around the block before joining the Olympics of competition.
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
so, my xperia Z is at over 24 hours mark... and the battery seems to be dropping way too fast. I'll give it a week before exhanging... I am not happy with the battery right now, but if this continues, i'll probably go with S4 instead..
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
This is my wife's s4 battery life
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
That is epic!

Man I really wishes my xperia z would give me good battery life.
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
I just called tmobile and they are going to either replace the Sony or I can swap them out for different phone.

I'm debating if I should keep this one or the s4.

Hence our phone isn't getting priority updates and all the roms seems to be very slow. Any thoughts? Or regrets on getting the Sony? And what you you have done if you were in my shoe?
[Xperia Z General] secondkai:
If battery life is the most deciding factor for you, just get a note 2..battery life on that phone is epic, u wont regret it..if u still want the s4, just be sure to get i9505 model...the octa core, i9500 model doesnt have good custom rom development on it..
[Xperia Z General] woostar88:
I had the note 2 and loved it. Battery isn't my priority but it's unacceptable if the battery isn't as good as iphone 5 was...

Compare to our phone, does the tmobile s4 have less developers like roms?
[Xperia Z General] secondkai:
I dont know much about tmo s4 dev, u could peek at their forum to see...i didnt care much about the quantities of the rom, the qualities is the most important..i use to have the galaxy s2 and it have a lot of custom rom, all of them is just the same and all of aosp/cm rom untill now didnt even reach stable state..our z have great and stable aosp/cm rom that have the same performance as stock rom...yes, our phone didnt have so many custom rom like the s4 or any other phone but the qualities of every custom rom we have especially aosp/cm base rom is epic!!..
[Xperia Z General] msc3169:
Yea, I do agree the qualities of these roms are great. I am myself on a custom rom and the stability is great. On the battery front, things are not at all bad ;)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] vvp777:
Suddenly device went to serial mode. Nothing helps to go back to normal mode. How to get out from it?

Soft and Hard resets don't get out it from this mode.

Help!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cbnc:
i have the same problem with xda IIi did you solve yours if so how
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] vvp777:
solution

Yes I did.

The problem was bacause of trying to put wrong version of ROM.

It deleted the OS boot.

The solution is to load original ROM.

For XDA IIi, i think you can take it from ftp://xda-developers.com/Alpine/Extracted ROM/

If you will have "Country ID error", try to launch the upgrading by file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, which you can take from "Magician" folder.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bryho:
Quick question all - On all of my android devices in the past I have used build.prop editor once rooted to adjust the DPI down to increase screen real estate. This would be particularly useful on the N7 to put it in tablet mode. However, when i adjust the density parameter downward and reboot the device, nothing happens and the value resets to default. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bryho:
Sorry to bump this ... anyone have any thoughts?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Boblank:
I changed using esfile explorer text editor. Did not get in tablet mode but did change the density.

ro.sf.lcd_density=320 was the line I modified.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shortstuff_mt:
I also use Es File Explorer to change the screen density. You have to make sure the /system is mounted as R/W. I'm running at 240dpi and like it much better than the stock 320dpi.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] phab3k:
idk if this is related, but I heard from a guy at work that you can increase the resolution from the stock settings? not sure if I believe him, he was saying something like 4k resolution, which just sounds odd since why wouldn't they set it to that by default then.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bryho:
Yes! it worked. Probably because i wasnt r/w. Thanks very much guys
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
Has anyone on T-Mobile been able to do this at full download speeds? If I Wi-Fi tether my N4 to my laptop or old HTC Vivid, I have no problems. When I tether it to my N10, speed drops to around 500K, regardless of the area I'm in (H, H+, G4). The same thing happens when tethering via bluetooth. Since the N10 had no problem with full bandwidth on my home network via Wi-Fi, I can figure out why the two Nexus devices don't cooperate. They're both running JB 4.2.2 (AOKP M2). Any ideas?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prkchop:
i have the same problem. i also have a nexus 4 on tmobile and it switches from H+ to H to E and rotates between them and i cant even load a youtube video
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
It might just be you and me, buddy, cuz I been searching for days and can't find anyone else who has this problem, much less a fix. T-Mobile support finally threw their hands up, basically saying, since they don't carry the N10, good luck with your search. Lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhemi4x4:
unfortunately, gallery stopped working when using "capture picture" via messaging

When using the stock messaging app, if I use the "capture picture" option, it allows me to take a picture, but when I hit the check mark to select the picture, it closes with the unfortunately, gallery has stopped working message. This only happens on the messaging app. Works fine with hangouts and other apps. Its also the stock camera.

I am on 4.3, but I have restored my 4.2 and same thing. It worked last weekend and maybe monday, but yesterday and today, its done working.

Ive cleared cache's and data and same thing.

Any ideas on what may be causing this and what can fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Im on the unofficial CM10.2 and it just worked for me. So I have no idea. Maybe its the gallery app thats included in the gapps package you use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhemi4x4:
gapps was built into shiny rom, nobody else had the issue either. Im throwing on FTL right now to see if that does anything. I'm at a total loss on what the issue is. I reverted to 4.2 and I know it was working there and now its not.

When restoring from recovery using cwm, what files or directories does not get changed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I have no idea then if no one else using that ROM had no issues either. If you are the only one having that issue then it makes it even harder to figure out. And I'm not sure how recovering a backup works exactly. I always thought it pretty much wiped the whole system and flashed the backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhemi4x4:
Yup, only one. There are a handful of S3 users that have a similar issue as well but so far, i think I'm the only GN.

I was under the impression of a recovery backup/restore was a mirror image of what was backed up too, but there is something that isnt. The problem seeped into my perfect backup somehow. :confused:
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] cmylxgo:
I had a request to port my Sprint CDMA Theme to AT&T. The more I worked on it and looked for files I found this forum. There is a much larger user base here so I figured I would share the port. As I stated in the OP this theme will not work on roms that use Message+Nonprime.apk. If there are some users that would like to work with me on some testing, I am sure I can get a version that works for many more Roms. PM if you want to help.
