[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedef12evo:
i just reboot phone and put in sd again, now the micro lag it's very little than before, but when i open gallery, it happens, i read somewhere that some kernels have problem with mga baseband about micro sd lag, so i dont know if it's bettere to flash a new modem or format sd
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
What size is your sd card? I'm currently on MGA after updating using a stock rooted ROM via Odin, Ive got a 32Gb sd card and to be honest everything runs very smoothly. I've got plenty of widgets on my homescreen as well but swiping and app transitions remain smooth. I notice there is a small delay when opening the gallery app, nothing serious but just slightly more than other apps, though when it opens its responsive enough. I would try formatting the sd card first to see if that helps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedef12evo:
my sd card is 16 gb, i saw that it is formatted in fat32, yes with stock rom the problem doesnt exist (is what i read) but with aosp roms the problem is here, because they dont have support for exfat, but if my sd is formatted in fat32, what type i should format? ntfs? or it's better to change modem with odin?

i just formatted my micro sd and again it slows down all phone, then i put it out reboot and phone flies... what can i do?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I'm not sure sorry, other than testing with a different sd card to see how that goes? I had a look but can't find anything mentioning baseband and sd issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedef12evo:
yes, im gonna try another sd card to try

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Afraid I'm out of ideas my friend, unless anyone else wants to chip in here? How making a video to demo it with and without sd card?

What about returning under warranty? Could be just faulty hardware?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedef12evo:
hello , yesterday i flashed a touchwiz based rom, and now all is really really smooth and fast.. so i think that the problem are aosp based roms that are slower than touchwiz based.... hard to believe for me, but it's right
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Very strange, I always seem to read people commenting how fast the aosp ROMs are! My own ROM is a rooted stock touchwiz and the speed is generally fine. Which ROM did you go for then?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedef12evo:
i flashed blackbox and all was fast,i dont know why but a lot of aosp roms are not smooth on animations, now i m using 4.3 google edition and it's very fast and smooth
[Xperia Z1 General] randomuseresato:
Let's try and check if Sony is indeed using various panels for the Z1.

Root is needed to check panel ID.

Download and install this app

Its recommended you perform a reboot before proceeding

Then type the following command in Terminal

- su

- dmesg|grep -i panel

Look for "Found panel: mipi_video_********_Full_HD_******"

Eg- Found panel: mipi_video_jdc_Full_HD_mdy70

Along with panel ID & manufacturer also post your general views on the screen and also how good the viewing angles are.
[Xperia Z1 General] josephnero:
we need more dudes with rooted phones,plz reply guyz

PS:good to see you here Ramu
[Xperia Z1 General] fallenwout:
Maybe add device serial number. Dunno about sony but with htc you can figure out the manufacturing date
[Xperia Z1 General] gm007:
Try this app,no root required,it's in Xperia Z forum

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39259051&postcount=206
[Xperia Z1 General] randomuseresato:
That app doesn't work for Z1 as Z1 doesn't use a Sharp/JDC panel. Already tried.
[Xperia Z1 General] gm007:
Ah ok,

Contact the dev maybe he can build it for Z1,that will be easier without root.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
+1. Tried myself too, doesn't work. However I'm pretty much sure I could see the panel type somewhere in the service menu on XZ (for e.g I could see "mdy70" mentioned somewhere), but can't recall where exactly? Also checked the build prop, but can't say (esp. when I don't know what I'm looking for?). Maybe someone can develop an app like the one for XZ which needs no root :confused:.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kingcool88:
The only line i got that matches somewhat is:

Doesnt sound good right ?:(
[Xperia Z1 General] randomuseresato:
You have a Sharp panel.

How are the viewing angles?
[Xperia Z1 General] Kingcool88:
Not so very good. But not something that matters for me.

This is not the "best" display for the Z1 right? Its "leftovers" from the Z if im reading it right?

That feels not so good, as i paid for the best display and got an old..:(
[Xperia Z1 General] svfusion:
that would anger the hell out of me.
[Xperia Z1 General] lee480:
Do you have the full Renesas code in the output?

Sharp, JDC or whoever do not manufacturer the displays. Renenas does the manufacturing. Sharp or whatever solely provides the panel for Renesas, while Renesas does the rest.

For example, for my Xperia ion, TMD (Toshiba Mobile Displays) provides the panels for the screen while Renesas manufactures the display under the model number r63306, and does the display calibration and the rest.

Here's the product overview for Renesas r63306 displays.

[Xperia Z1 General] sammis:
I've got both the Ultra and the Z1 (got it today for a friend) there is a HUGE difference between the Ultra's display and the Z1 display,the former has no trouble at all with its viewing angles while that of the Z1 is very similar to that of the old Z.

The Z1 was bought in Greece from a shop that imports phones from abroad and the box had the SK.CS.PL.logo and they got it from Poland.
[Xperia Z1 General] hasona:
Wow this is really bad news, anything regarding the Clove Z1's as that's the Place I am getting mine from? I guess it's hard to know who gets what revision.

On Another notice wouldn't this fall under the warranty, I mean if you can prove that other Z1's - by comparing photos from someone with a better screen and then compare it with yours - has a better display you should be able to get your device either refunded or swapped for a better one.

I remember having the XS yellow tint line and I got mine returned for a new unit/screen from Sony
[Xperia Z1 General] MNX1024:
The problem with this issue is, it's not a defect. Doubt we can do anything about it. The swapping part, there's really now way of knowing before hand unless you can catch what uses what before they package it.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kingcool88:
Sadly this is the only thing i got:
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
guys I don't know what my display type is but the screen is very good, here is a picture taken at an almost flat angle (sorry about the quality) and I had to turn the brightness down on the screen as my crappy 2mp lappy camera isn't that great - but what you can see is the colours remained correct and the grey scale at the top - my phone was bought in the UK from Clove
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
Seems like sony likes the UK since eveyone from the UK have got great screens, hopefully we get the same displays in sweden too
[Xperia Z1 General] nehway0912:
I thought Renesas was the one who makes the chip that drives the display?
[Xperia Z1 General] xperiafan324:
Right now, all the evidence points to there being no better or worse display for the Z1, the actual panels seem to be the same ones as in the Z, but integrated with Triluminos backlight, and having slightly better calibration. In some cases though the calibration is pretty spot-on with the Z1.

What's important is if you were happy with the screen before finding out that it's made by Sharp, because if you were, then it's all good. If, however, the screen didn't impress you from the get-go, then you might wanna get a replacement. It's a really expensive phone, so no point in having one if you're not absolutely happy with it.

There wasn't really any difference between the Sharp and JDI panels for the Z so I really don't think you got a panel that's worse off than any other Z1, just that the calibration might not be upto scratch. Just my opinion though.

[Xperia Z1 General] Laleschland:
On the pictures attached u can see the XZ at the top and the XZ1 at the bottom. The XZ IMHO a little bluetinge (as you can see at the see pics) and the XZ1 has a little yellow tinge(as you can see at the skyline pics).

Both devices are german Xperias and the pictures were taken with my old SGSIII.

IMHO the Screen of the XZ1 is a little bit sharper than the XZ but i'm still not happy with it.. perhaps should take the g2...
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
I'm also a Sharp panel purchased from Handtec UK. Z1 black.

Have to say the Sharp screen is very poor.

Mine has a yellow tint and of you look slightly off angle then the colours are very muted.

Not that bad, same as other, good from front, low contrast from sides.

What screen should be in there?

Screen however is looking good for me, very crisp and sharp and viewing angles also good.

Only thing is that when I'm watching youtube or netflix, the HD part doesn't really look HD, the edges of persons for example are a little ragged... or is this just mobile youtube and netflix?
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
Try disabling x-reality and yeah so far everyone has reported to have a sharp panel, so the guy who spread the rumors saying that Sony is using different type of screens seems to be full of crap.

[Xperia Z1 General] zippy1990:
Oh well, is there any way to check if these panels are new? Because I'm not sure which panels are used for the Z but as long as the Z1 has a different one then everything is fine and people are just full of ****.

Turned off X reality, not even sure what it does but I will keep it off. Ragged edges seems to be more visible the closer you are to the screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] shaz2sxy:
Mines like yours, Personally dont se what the fuss is. the veiwing angle arent 100% but I dont use my phone at stupid angles and the quality when using at normal angles it is 100% :)
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Probably going to hold off on my purchase at the moment until November, and it appears all devices have Sharp Panels? Better than the Z display lottery situation.
[Xperia Z1 General] zippy1990:
I see no reason why you are holding it off, I'm very happy with this phone. No regrets at all.

Performance is outstanding, screen is beautiful, camera needs a software update but that's about it.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
I'm just holding off to see if other display panels begin to pop up, and even if they do I will most probably still go ahead with the purchase. I am almost sure that I will be buying this, its an amazing phone and having used one myself at an O2 store the viewing angles are not as bad as people make them out to be and the display is better than my Galaxy S3's display, as long as anything is better than that I'm happy! (I actually enjoyed the display when I adjusted the screen colours on my GS3)

And majority of the issues with this phone is software-side at the moment, and the phone is still very early in its software-release cycle.
[Xperia Z1 General] zippy1990:
I see, not fanboying here. It's actually my first ever Sony purchase.

Btw, Can anyone tell me how the software updates are for Sony devices? How fast do they come out?(as we don't even have 4.3 yet..)

And when could we expect a software update for the camera?

Just throwing in some questions as I'm not familiar with Sony as said before.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Software updates.. terrible for Sony Ericsson in my experience, they cancelled the ICS update for the Xperia Play. Sony dumped all their devices developed with Ericsson extremely quickly. But their UX has always been nice to use.

By buying the Xperia Z1 I know that software updates will SUCK by February. They support their flagship extremely well but then once they release a new flagship it will get software updates after their flagship. Things could have changed but 4.1 -> 4.2 was a small update and I'm not too concerned about having it.

And the camera software isn't final yet so they will update that. (they should do)

After I sold my Xperia Play I said I would never get another Sony but I suppose I was wrong. We're most likely going to get Android updates for the next two years at least and the only thing that worries me is the timeframe, Sony are SLOW. Things could have changed though :D
[Xperia Z1 General] zippy1990:
Alright 2 years of software updates ain't that bad as I switch phones every year. But even if Sony doesn't release big updates, you can flash custom roms.. once they allow you to unlock the bootloader of course.

Do you expect wide rom development for the Z1? I can remember from when I had my Galaxy s the rom development was great. But I can't remember if this was already the case on the release of the phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Probably expecting it to be as big as Xperia Z is right now I guess

Not happy.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
what do you mean by has the worst ???????? making a statement like that just tells me your other brain cell is sleeping

That is your opinion and is based on what you define as good - I know 100% that I'd rather watch a video/movie on the Z1 than on an S4 never mind S3 - AMOLED makes video look like it's an animation, it is unnatural in both colour and texture and is also too dark

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Z1 panel unless you are 1" tall and looking it while it's lying flat on the floor
[Xperia Z1 General] ruchirtrehan:
Haha, that's true. I just wonder all the reviewers show a stupid viewing angles which no one (except an idiot) uses the phone like that.
[Xperia Z1 General] semiotech:
Perhaps I should be more specific. I am not saying the s3 screen is the best, but the colours look washed out even compared to the nexus 4.

Also, the z1 came with a dock, and even when docked on my work desk the text is so difficult to read that I have to remove it just to quickly read an sms.

I'm sharing my opinion based on hands on with a number of other devices, and I'm more than happy for someone to correct me if my expectations are unrealistic. There is no need to be insulting.
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
you are used to unnatural colors.. so when you see accurate color you feel it is washed out...i agree with the other fact... if you are not using phone in hand.viewing angle effects reading and quality not up to standard....but in hand it is best in class as we use head on
[Xperia Z1 General] Untouchab1e:
Only an idiot would fail to realize why exceptionally poor viewing angles are a bad thing on a mobile device. What if I want to show a video or a picture to a group of friends sitting around the table? While the one in the middle gets a pretty vibrant, accurate and tasteful image, the guy all the way to the left gets a washed out, hazy picture. For a high end device in 2013 with a very premium price, a display that fails to compete with the best in class is a significant letdown.

That said, to some, this may not be an issue, but its ignorant to argue that the display, which is the most dominant aspect of a modern smartphone, does not need to live up to the premium price tag.
