Any idea, how to change rhis default setting?

cda

Anyone could kindly share a C6833 cda and RXA for me to update to 532?, many thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blacklighter11:
This update socks. Screen became over sensitive. When sweat touches the screen, it goes haywire. I need to turn it off and wipe it for it to work normal
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Ooh yeaaa I got sometimes too lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
Ok it would seem that Sony.has removed the transparent effect from the notification bar and software keys at the bottom.

Why would they do this?! I loved the way it looked.before.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Can't be change on stock firmware. CM and AOKP can offer the possibility to customize it. I know there is CM 10.1 avaliable for our device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] viettien_milo:
No it's not. It's still the same as before :).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] awaisb2010:
I contacted Sony and they said there were no screen issues they knew of. They advised the repair process through Sony companion which I have done yet still experiencing the power button not waking the device up issues.

They suggested going back to my retailer..... Luckily I am within my 28 grace period.. Thinking shall I exchange or just return?

Thanks

Read the topic about the optimised back light and try that first.

I'm sure it's not an hardware related problem.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] awaisb2010:
I have tried the Un tick back light thing back that is even worse. If it isn't hardware related then why isn't every single Z Ultra user having the issue? Surely the majority of users will have one of the latest software releases and from what I have read the problem goes back quote a few releases.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mikiamal:
Done

updated :)

14.1.B.1.532
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Bull****. They are highly aware of it, and that's why they've pushed out like four updates in the past weeks. That Sony rep. you talked to is a rep. which means he doesn't know anything. Contact them again and see if you can go "deeper" into the company, i.e see if you can get a hold on someone from the software or hardware department. That way you'll be able to talk to someone that actually knows something.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] szlevi:
Ever since I've installed this update I'm suffering from randomly initiate rash of phantom clicks: I try using the phone and suddenly it comes alive, acts like I'm opening apps, clicking everywhere while I'm just sitting there eyes wide open what's going on... I turned on dev mode and visible touch effects and I can even see where these random touches show up...

...anyone suffering from similar thing? I haven't had this problem before the latest update.

Anybody having a system files update with Pc Companion? Just plugged my phone, after updated Pc Companion and got it. Not a new version, just writing "updating system files"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
yes me too....update man.

I saw this after 5 days...so I updated again and everything is fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blacklighter11:
Pc companion updated but I'm not sure if anything updated on my z ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jack4uno:
Why doesn't the firmware update OTA. What's the point of having this feature when it doesn't effing work?

It's so annoying having to connect my Xperia to my mac and keep it connected until the firmware updates.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] emin1507:
Me too. Is this an error?

How can we fix this?

This suck is really annoyed.

Emin's Xperia Z Ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] viettien_milo:
Fix? Easy. Just dry your hands or your screen. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] szlevi:
My issue has NOTHING to do with sweaty fingers - never had them -; again, it happens without me touching the screen.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Teczguru:
Hey Guys/Gals - I've only had my XZU c6833 for roughly a week now and all seems to be working well. I haven't gotten the latest firmware updates as of yet though ( located in Canada) but I wanted to ask, what specifically is the "SOD" that everyone seems to be experiencing, so I can check if mine has it as well?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
The bug everyone is experiencing is connected to the "Optimize Backlight" option in the display settings.

Everyone says that if you tick/untick it you will experience the SOD (screen of death), that is a bug preventing the screen to come back on after you turned it off.

It usually works again when you reboot until you tick/untick again.

Truth be told, I never felt the need to untick it, I left it on as it was when I first turned on the device, and NEVER experienced this infamous SOD (I'm on 510).

Want a piece of advice? Stay away from it, is that simple. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Keoregh:
I finally got mine !

About this update, we don't have it yet in France.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I unticked that god damn button after only five minutes of ownership - by accident, and nothing happened right then, but i got the long boot when i rebooted after that. It got back to normal once i enabled it back though, so no damage done. I'm on 510 btw, and i haven't experienced any bugs, so i'm not planning on updating.

If you're on 510 and don't experience any bugs, then do not update. There's no point, and the only thing that'll probably happen is the introduction of new bugs.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
Isn't the screen washed out and dull if you have optimise backlight ticked? Is there not a way to have it unticked without the sod etc?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Not at all. It looks fantastic, and the colors really pop. I'm used to AMOLED btw, so i know how (over)saturated colors look, and the colors are top notch. I have the "Optimized Backlight" enabled, like most people. Viewing angles are also very good.

Quick edit: The reason why you're asking is because of the Xperia Z and other Xperia models? The Ultra doesn't use the same type of display as those. The Ultra uses an AH-IPS LCD display, while the Z uses a TN TFT LCD display .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
That's good to know.

The reason I asked was I had read elsewhere in this forum that the optimise backlight washed out the colours a little, made blacks appear grey. What visual difference does it make then?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I didn't notice any big differences with optimized backlight disabled yesterday, but i don't have the brightness set to 100%, so that might wash the colors out a fair bit, like every LCD display out there (you know, backlights).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Keoregh:
In fact, less than 24 hours after I get it ... screen won't wake up anymore.

I Tried to reboot it by pushing the button 12s~ but nothing happened ...

Don't know what to do :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Press the hard reset button next to the sim card behind the flap, little red thing. Hold it for a good few seconds, you should feel the device vibrate vigorously (atleast I do)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Keoregh:
I manage to reboot it by pressing power button + volume up.

But thanks for the tip !

This is just a reboot button ? Not a reset data ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
I'll say it again, do not use "adapt to lighting conditions" this make SOD. Optimized backlight off only make fake hang at boot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Adapt to lighting conditions has been active on mine since the start, and I haven't experienced any SOD's :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
:banghead:

adapt on + optimized off = sod + fake hang

adapt off + optimized off = fake hang

adapt on + optimized on = fine

adapt off + optimized on = fine
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
So, it's the Optimized Backlight that's the problem here, and not Adapt to lighting condition ;) Stop banging your head btw. You'll hurt yourself :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Feel better? Now maybe can stop hearing your phone not have SOD without having actually tried? Cause it only create confusion and make people believe they got a defective device.

SOD and fake hang are sadly still on our phone since .510 and would be good to hear Sony announcing they roll out a new firmware with this fixed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
What are you talking about? I haven't had a single SOD, and that's a fact. Most people (here) are fully aware that disabling Optimized Backlight will most certainly cause SOD's, and it'll also happen if i do it, but i don't because i know what will happen if i do. The thing that confuses people is all the talk about Optimized Backlight. What causes SOD's? Should it be ticked on or off? It's on by default, so it's no point in bringing it up unless people actually do untick it, and then we can provide the simple solution and explain what they did and why they shouldn't do it. Dragging "Adapt to lighting conditions" into this is again confusing people. It won't cause problems as long as we don't untick - you guessed it, Optimized Backlight.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aungkhaingoo:
I don't get any update in singapore and still on .510 :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, i'm also still on 510. No update for now (Norway).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mongday:
I found sometime my Z ultra always Turn WIFI on by its self.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
look on power management, you might have "localisation based wifi" turned on. It turn on your wifi at the location of saved wifi, and turn it off when you leave the place.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] infernus70:
My phone is almost 1 month now and I haven't experience single SOD from the day I bought it. My build version is .510
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Keoregh:
.532 here in France today ! :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, same here. Not sure if I want to update though :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Are you updating through the phone or through PC Companion?

I'm at work now and my phone doesn't find any updates...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Keoregh:
With PC Companion on my Mac (at work too ;) )

Do you know where I can find patch notes ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's an OTA update. I didn't refresh or look for it. It just popped up with no change log.. WTF Sony? I want to know what you've changed.

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

I contacted Sony now and they aren't aware of the "Optimize Backlight" bug. I asked if a Sony developer could come into this section and see what's really going on, so they're sending a developer over here. Not sure when that'll happen, but let's hope it'll get fixed in the next update.

You are very welcome.

Update: I also emailed the Sony dev team, so now we wait.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I want to know if this is the simple 532 that everyone else has gotten, because I don't want to lose root access...

Thank you for contacting Sony, let's hope they're really going to do what you asked...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I would assume so, yes. But since Sony can't push out a god damn change log, we can't be sure. They may have changed one tiny thing, since the point of staged rollouts are to check if everything is working well, but then again - we have no idea.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
I can't catch you dude. Is there any problem to update up to .532 and vRoot it again ?:eek:

I do this all the time with my c6802
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mr. Schnabel:
Hi there!

Also got the .523 Update here in Austria via OTA .... bit when i want to install the phone reboots and show me an error after fully reoting that the Update could not be installed and i should try via PC compannion

Any one else got this problem? Can't access my Pc after i am at work currently.

Maybe because it is rootet or the xposed mods i have installed?!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Use sony Update service.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'm not rooted yet, and I haven't even updated to 532, so I have no idea :p

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ScottishSwan:
I would like to offer my perspective.

I have had my Z Ultra since the 5th of August. If you have the optimize backlight option ticked, the screen quality IS WORSE.

This is not up for debate. The colors are muted, and the entire screen loses its vibrancy, almost like it has a grey filter over the entire screen.

Now, it is not a huge difference but i notice it for sure and it is there. Without a doubt it degrades the screen.

Just keep it un ticked whilst you are using it and if you have to reboot your device, tick it before you do so you do not have any SOD or fake hang issues.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Teczguru:
Ooohhhh ok I've had it happen once so far and just rebooted the device.... mine was unticked by default, and ticked the box when I first set up the unit.... still plan to leave it as is(ticked) :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Erajat:
Has anyone noticed any improvements in the phone? What has come in the 532 update? Is this update causing any issues?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Sony hasn't released any Chang log, so we have no idea. The 532 update can still cause SOD's if you have Optimize Backlight disabled. That's about it as far as I know.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Erajat:
Battery seems to be doing better. Theme is different. Don't is much better now. Default dialer is much improved.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] emin1507:
I dont know why but it seems that X-Reality is not working well. When watching videos (full HD) with X-Reality ON, the quality is not good (high contrast and so much noise). But when I turn off this function, the video quality gets back to normal.

I tried to repair 2 times but not yet improved.

Could anyone help me to explain???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Erajat:
When I say check the default videos preloaded on the phone.. I can't see x reality doing anything. The videos are clear without our with it. Tell me how to check it and I might be able to help.

OTA update came today here in the United states on AT&T.

I was rooted on previous version. And I didn't lose root.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] viettien_milo:
Yes but you cannot install.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bon.kk:
thanks. SOD fixed

this helped me out, thanks heaps. phone is now back on.

I "ticked" the optimised backlight option last night and woke up with a SOD where everything was unresponsive,

power button + volume up solved it. I've now gone back and "un-ticked" the optimised backlight will see how it goes.

Just received the update in the UK, unbranded C6833 - making an FTF.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mozzy:
Not much of a update then I suppose?...

Was yours only 7MB aswell?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Not sure mate, did mine via SUS to make an FTF. Size was 756mb.

It's a fair jump in build number though from .510 to .532 so must have fixed a few things.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mozzy:
Not sure on what way to update, the ota is 7mb and sus is 756mb..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Doesn't really matter to be honest mate. May aswell go OTA.

I'm getting an Could not install error on the ota update with my UK C6833. Anyone else had any issues or any suggestions?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SWFlyerUK:
Sorry, just seen your post. Have the FTF for this aswell.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
Hope this is helpful

I updated my phone to .532 multiple times using every FTF available online. With trying every recommended tip on this forum I was unable to get rid of the SOD issue. Ticking and unticking every possible combination with "Optimized backlight" and "Adapt to lighting" got me no where. I decided to compare all the apps and services that were added in .532 compared to .475 and uninstall every new app/service that was added in and now I no longer get SOD. I plan on reinstalling each app\service one by one to see if I can narrow down the culprit. I am not saying this will work but I can confirm I no longer get the SOD issue.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I have the same issue. I've never used NFC before, and i tried to send an image to my brothers LG, but that didn't work at all :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Nowhere is written that you can solve the SOD problem trying a combination of "optimize backlight" and "automatic brightness".

On the contrary, the only thing that causes the SOD issue is ticking/unticking the "optimize backlight".

You can temporarily solve the problem by ticking/unticking back the option and reboot right after, you'll have a long boot but no more SOD after it.

No more SOD until you tick/untick again, that is.

;)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
I have heard this plenty of times but in my case that did not work. I tried everything posted on this forum including what you just said. I would get the long boot but still get the SOD. I just wanted to post that by me removing these apps I can say I no longer get the SOD. It's worse trying for people who have given up on the methods posted on here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
What version do you have? C6802? Where did you buy it?

C6802
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Where did you get it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
A store located in Chinatown NYC.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Ah, okay. It's definitely a software issue, but i would return it and get a new one if that's possible. You paid for a functional device, and they gotta deliver on that part.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
The strange thing is that I one by one (then test) reinstalled each of app/services that I originally removed to see if I get the SOD, but I no longer get the SOD whether I tick or untick. I still get the long boot time when I untick but no more SOD YAY!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Flashed the ftf file for C6833 coming from PA rom. Works great, downloaded supersu and flashed in cwm :good:
