still don't get this Viewing angle bull,

seriously how many people look at their phone from an awkward angle? :eek:

normal people watch stuff and play games etc on their phone by looking straight ahead at the screen ...

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Not to me it isn't,

I am sick of Super Amoled displays which can barely be seen with Brightness on Max on a Sunny day,

the Display on the SP is fine in my opinion, it doesn't hurt my eyes either I have it set on 1/4 brightness by default.

your opinion may differ.
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
even if you look at it directly, the screen display of both AMOLED and RETINA SCAN are both superior to the ****ty displasy of Xperia in both colour contrast and brightness. there is absolutely no redeeming quality in Sony Xperia display. the only bull I can sense is the one that is coming from someone that is trying to defend the indefensible. it is like watching an Iphone defending the inherent restrictiveness of the iOS just because it got the design that got them off. totally ridiculous.
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
I personally think you are full of bull if you claime that the Sony Xperia displays have better legibility under sunlight than AMOLED and RETINA display. I am even wiling to put down USD 100 dollar to prove you are wrong. come and meet me and we compare all the phone and we will see which text are more legible under direct sunlight. the exact problem with the ****ing Xperia display is that it is too ****ing bright and under direct bright sunlight, whatever you can see will hurt your eyes directly. I don't feel the same when I am looking at any other screen, whether it is AMOLED, RETINA or a ****ing display from a cheap Chinese LCD phone. the simple fact is Sony Xperia display is whitewashed and bright to a crazy fault. And if you bother to read some of the other comments made here, I am not the only one who think it is so. most people on the other hand has acknowledged as much but chose to overlook and ignore this significant flaw for reason best known to them. but what you chose to overlook and ignore does not automatically mitigate the fact it is a fundamental flaw of any display .
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
even a LCD monitor for desktop computer made five years ago, which I am using now, have better contrast than the ****ty Xperia SP display. it absolutely got nothing to do with AMOLED display. stop using AMOLED display as the benchmark because I certainly didnt. I am actually comparing it to almost every LCD display that I hve ever used in the past and the Sony Xperia SP simply is an epic fail in every aspect imaginable. the flaw is so fundamental that is very annoying and frustrating that people like you keep on saying it is not.
[Xperia SP General] raziel123:
Super Amoleds are superior in Colour Contrast and Blacks, Inferior in Brightness,

I already said it's subjective, some people Hate Super Amoled, others Prefer IPS/LCD etc ...

each to their own,

quit trying to push your own opinion down someone elses throat,
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
may I know why would anyone prefer brightness to the extend that the text in black is becoming greyed out and difficult to read ? bright for the sake of brightness ? I am not shoving any opinion down any one throat but I would not stand by anyone calling my comment as "bull"
[Xperia SP General] raziel123:
lol,

I had Samsung phones in the Past, an S2 for quite some time, and used a S3 for a brief period as well,

Under bright sunlight, Visibility is not so good on a Amoled display.

use your common sense, a screen that lights up all pixels all the time is naturally gonna be brighter in such situations.

every display has it's pro's and con's,

weigh it up and chose ...
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
there is absolutely no pro with Xperia SP display. I have already chosen. it is going down the ****ing drain. thank you
[Xperia SP General] raziel123:
again this is your opinion, and I respect that, but I don't have any issues reading ...

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

your **** up then, should have checked the screen out before buying the phone,
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
well. it wasn;t obvious in the ****ing shop display. it is obvious when I was playing with it for some time, opening up various different apps. obviously, you are the type of person who dont really use your phone much and don't really care much it appeared under different circumstance.
[Xperia SP General] raziel123:
I use my phone more than my PC,

If your that peed of about the screen, just sell it and buy another phone.
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
ya. put it on classified ads already and the garage sale forum.
[Xperia SP General] technaudio:
My opinion is exactly the same as yours! :)
[Xperia SP General] raziel123:
Lol
[Xperia SP General] nezt94:
hey watchman , stop using your F!ing F!ing F!ing words. i've owned galaxy S4 and SP and under direct sunlight i cant see anything on my s4 screen even maxing the brigthness and for XSP i still can use my phone pleasantly. and please come to indonesia and give me your 100 bucks . LOL. and in my opinion my XSP screen is more natural than my s4 , and i hate SCREEN BURN on the amoled display. for the viewing angle, are u use your phone while tilting to 180degree?? stop whining your own mistake and GET A LIFE dude.
[Xperia SP General] ruchirtrehan:
LOL! Agreed, I had owned an Galaxy S4, I took it out at the first day, in complete sunlight, my friend asked me if he can send a text, I allowed, after sending text, he showed me his karbonn a21 and said, dude what phone are you using? nothing is visible to read clearly, even in my karbonn I can read much more easily, I was like "poker face" @_@
[Xperia SP General] headbon3:
Double thumbs up for sony
[Xperia SP General] r4_broadcast:
Made the exact same test and is true... is there any way to get a modded Bravia Engine 2 working full time on the phone??? Xperia Play had it...
[Xperia SP General] dghostpt:
That would be great

+1
[Xperia SP General] tomzzi:
I still have my old Xperia Ray and i must say that i was disappointed when i got my XSP with screen quality.

Screen on Xperia Ray is in my opinion way better than on XSP.

It hurts my eyes if i read for too long text on white background.

I have no problems with this on Ray.

This is one of the problems i have with this phone. Other is battery life. It could be better for its size...

Sometimes drain around 2-3% per hour in "deep sleep".

I will see what i will do. I just bought the phone in December (unbranded) and i think i will sell it soon... And never buy a Sony phone again.
[Xperia SP General] Gamer R:
Well,

Xperia SP has a low contrast screen but the colours are definitely better than its competitors in the same price segment. That you'll have to agree.

Still not happy with the display, then root and unlock your phone and replace your Bravia Engine with X-Reality !
[Xperia SP General] rexxxxx:
is it X-Reality different that Bravia Engine? I thought it is the same just new trade mark for the high end phones.
[Xperia SP General] Denhot:
Xperia SP by far has the worst display by far

Black text looks grey on white background (the phone app)

Compared to devices I own

XZ(sharp, LCD) has a much more saturated display as compared to SP, you don't need to be an expert it's so explicit(obviously)

Viewing angles slightly better than SP

Sam galaxy Note2(AMOLED)... Sunlight legibility is mediocre, even if you set the color tone to natural to kill the oversaturation, both XZ and SP don't stand anywhere, except XZ has the most crisp and sharp display(ppi difference)

Sam galaxy Grand(LCD)- a phone much cheaper than SP, highest brightness compared to all, colors better than my XZ :( , viewing angles and contrast also :(

Xperia Ion- this phone has by far the best blacks and contrast compared to XZ and SP...

So yes the SP display sucks and the touch is also a joke...

THE problem I think is in greys

Dark Black is alright

But shades of grey don't have a range they become a very light grey

If you own a MHL you will see what I'm saying,

The navigation buttons are equally black on phone and TV

But the notification drop down is nearly black on TV, compared to a light grey on phone.

Also colors/greys on my XZ and TV appear about the same...it's a Sony Bravia LCD with default standard settings.
[Xperia SP General] KeiranFTW:
Don't you people not try out a phone before you buy it? Buying a phone with features and design you don't like can be countered by simply going in a phone shop and testing the phone first, this way you can choose the right phone :)
[Xperia SP General] Linton_Ne:
.......I have no idea what you guys are talking about, cos I got none of theses issues. And who views their phone at a 180 degree angle?? :confused:
[Xperia SP General] KeiranFTW:
Poor viewing angles = harder for people next to you to read what's on your screen. Its a phone and if you don't hold it properly to your view then you're doing it wrong :)
[Xperia SP General] Denhot:
Lesson learnt the hard way :p

I did try out it seemed fine as the demo pieces were in pretty bad condition anywhere I went :rolleyes:

720p display with adreno 320 sold me on it :p and the build and design,Viewing angles I didn't care for. The other option in budget and size was S4 mini.And my XZ is lovely..display it's so noticeable in a store visit I'll say but.

Except a little hit on display,I think it's the most VFM phone as such, unless you have a Nexus 4 available.
[Xperia SP General] johnylim:
I'm not dissappointed for viewing angle, but backlit colour.

Because backlit color not pure white, a little yellow, it make SP display look yellowish, even compared to my previous Xperia Play have a better colour tone.

SP is powerful phone for it price, with great design and material. For me the biggest flawless only it yellowish screen, white balance didnt much help because it was hardware problem.
[Xperia SP General] juitz88:
Try setting the white balance display by 20, 225. It is much natural (to my eyes), Much closer to IPS displays.
[Xperia SP General] johnylim:
Tried it as you suggested, but i set saturation to 5 because 20 is too dark.

Thx anyway :)

[Xperia SP General] Robin>Hood:
The best value for money phone DEFINITLY is t he Xiaomi M2S. 240€ / 340$ for a Snapdragon 600, fantastic 720p screen(just amazing!!), small(perfect size in my opinion), touch buttons below the screen (which compensate for the 4.3" screen)!!

If it would have had an external SD slot or 64GB it would have been the PERFECT phone, now it is just the best phone available in my opinion, definitly best VFM available.

Made me dump my XSP :) My brother is happy with his XSP though hehe!
[Xperia SP General] balboarocky:
The poor display coupled with horrible touch and wifi finally made me dump my xsp for desire 501,Buying xsp was one of the worst decisions that i ever took.:(
[Xperia SP General] watchman.see:
for those who claimed they didn;t notice the difference, here's the a recent blog entry I found on Sony latest phone flagship model and they still haven't farking improve their screen quality. it is the exact same white-washed, low contrast that I have been complaining about since I started this thread years ago.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cool_paki:
I have copied some mp3 files in jam. Before it was opening directly with media player whenever I tap on the mp3 file. But now it stops opening those file with media player, and now whenever I click on the file it give this error message:

"There is no application associated with "Filename". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."

Now everytime I have to open media player first then only I can play the file. What should I do so that whenever I click it should directly open with media player?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] grumble:
Have you installed another player program (GSPlayer, Mort Player etc.) then removed it ?

It sounds like you have, the file association has been lost

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] RSXtm:
There is a new firmware for our little Xperia E, tomorrow i will update it, i think this is a big update, maybe the upgrade to 4.2.2 or new lockscreen with new Xperia Z launcher, maybe with Mobile Bravia Engine 2 or new Walkman with clear sound.

I'M SO EXCITED =D

TOMORROW I WILL INSTALL IT ( HERE IN ITALY IS 10 PM XD) AND GIVE U GUYS A CHANGELOG

UPDATE: Build number is: 11.3.A.2.23
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Droidlover123:
Are you kidding bro??

You really think sony will waste that much time on our entry level phone??

Though if its true it will be awesome!!;);)

Do it shows any update build number in update notification??

And what's size of update??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] RSXtm:
Sorry Guys

For everyone: who has PC Companion please download and install the update, becouse i can't have my Xperia E until 2 PM so sorry guys i can't install the update now =((.

Still i think that is strange that Sony relased already 2 updates for the Xperia E xD

And i'm still thinking that this is a big update, like 4.1.2(with the new Xperia Z UI) or 4.2.2 ( If they update our Xperia E to 4.2.2, Sony is just crazy..... Why they didn't update my old Xperia U?!)

I remember that the build number finishes with .23 and the rest is the same of the current build( maybe i'm wrong, when i saw that an update was available i saw for an instant the build number than PC Companion crashed XD)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Droidlover123:
I too have build flashed ending with .13 and it have z systemui and 4.1.1

Also it lags a bit!!

Tell your current build and update asap and tell if anything new;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] RSXtm:
My current build is the one that finishes .13, but it doesn't have the Xperia Z lockscreen or the Xperia Z launcher, and the new Walkman is fake xD (same old Walkman,only new icon).

Hoping that Sony doesn't troll us with the walkman another time xD

The updated build finishes with .23
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Droidlover123:
Yes that build do not have anything else then xperia z systemui lol.

And hope this new firmware turns out to be a interesting one!!!

I know its sort of a without a base hope:p:p;)

Anyways if you want xperia z lock screen I can provide you a mod ;);):beer:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] RSXtm:
BTW i already downloaded the Z lockscreen mod =P

I will search on Google if someone already downloaded this update.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Droidlover123:

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] RSXtm:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preston411:
Before we go into a hissyfit... I am well aware that Epic 4g uses WIMAX. I am with Sprint. My question is... has anyone ever notice that their Epic runs on 4g when in an LTE area? I live in Michigan and the only WiMax area is in Grand Rapids (west side of state). I was approaching Lansing from the east, and received 4g signal and 4g speeds of 3-4 Mbps and there is no WiMax within at least 50 miles. It was confirmed on my bill of the 4g usage. This has happened before to me in an entirely non-Sprint 4g area of Detroit. How did this happen? I am not complaining, but find it interesting. I NEVER get this speed anywhere on 3g... I rarely if ever get 1 Mbps... Any thoughts??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djinn23:
Rogue wimax tower?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Detroit has WiMax on some towers, especially near the airport. So to answer your question, no this device does not utilize LTE. You just happened to find a random WiMax tower.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preston411:
Ok, that makes sense. I'm looking on the sprint site and it does not show wimax in the area, so the conclusion must be some sporatic 4g signals from towers. The website is just not up to date.
