[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoost:
Hi,

got my Korean F320S. I rooted the phone, removed some bloatware (or freeze it via System Tuner). After some reboots I decided to change DPI settings and changed build.prop:

"ro.sf.lcd_density_secondary=480" to "ro.sf.lcd_density_secondary=320"

and

"ro.sf.lcd_density=400" to "ro.sf.lcd_density=320"

and reboot. I saw only the LG logo for more than 1 minute. No boot up. I removed battery, connect via adb and changed the values back to the original. But doesn't help.:crying:

LG doesn't boot anymore. I see only the LG logo, nothing more.

Any ideas ? I need help.

(No TWRP installed)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefnap:
Looks like you'll need to revert to stock firmware. Good luck mate.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoost:
Tried this. Downloaded SKT F320S10K_00.kdz, select type 3GQCT and set phone mode to DIAG. After pressing "Start Upgrade"

it shows

Start fn_StartUpgrade

Extract kdz file

kdz decrypt error

Extract file error

and UpTestEX chrashed.

Tried several times. Even a second download od kdz files doesn't help.

Update:

I downloaded LGExtract.exe to check if kdz file is corrupted. LGExtract -kdz works. So I think the file should be ok
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoost:
A liitle step forward.

I missed the "Normal web upgrade test". :angel:

Now I press this. In the new window I select "Start upgrade" then I see

"CSMG B2C Client TOOL not exists. Please install CSMG B2C Client TOOL again"

Where I can find such a client tool ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
Have you tried ADB?

It might be far enough along under the hood to access via ADB.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoost:
Yes, ADB works. I changed build.prop via ADB but what should I do with ADB to fix the problem?

Update to "Back to Stock firmware".

I tried it on VMWare Images but B2CAppSetup doesn't really work on images. It stops early in the setup process without any comment.

On a real machine it did something more. I'll try this after I downloaded the firmware for F320S. It pretty slow at home.
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
Well I'm going to be returning my Z1 due to the very poor screen.

Everything on the screen isn't sharp enough (funny that as it's a Sharp panel) the colours are very poor. The white are more cream like.

Software is buggy if you turn off optimised backlight.

Ear piece speaker isn't loud enough, probably due to the waterproofing.

Camera is nothing to rave about either.

Yes some of these issues will be sorted out with updates but they might not and I'm not taking the risk on a £550+ device.

It's a shame because I really wanted to like the device but I'll be happy to go back to my Nexus 4!
[Xperia Z1 General] binlkevin:
Hope you will find a phone that you really love.
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
Back to my trusty N4 and maybe the N5. Like I said I really wanted to like the device but even when compared to my nexus 4 the screen on the Z1 looks poor.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
I'm having a similar issue with the screen too... Compared to my Nexus 7 screen, the whites are very creamy! Going to see if they're willing to do an exchange!
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
Sony xperia Z1

Nexus 4

just see and compare.,,,

Target -- original color

Actual--color the phone shows

Display only problem with gamma at angle... which have huge impact...for rest all spec Z1 is better than nexus4

Speaker and headphone sound is s**t i agree

Camera is nothing to rave about only if you compare dedicated camera... in phone it is good
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
The issue for me when I'm in apps, while my Nexus 7 screen shows a bright white background, the Z1's is a bit yellowy in the same app... I'm going to give it a bit more time... Have 28 days, might exchange for a new one when stock comes into stores...
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
I think.... It is dust on screen glue during assembly. they used cheap production... Some phones are affected by this issue... not sure,,,i had yellow tint when i used invisble shield back in india.. Uk no issue ... maybe temp too
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
To be honest, its just that I used to have an S3 and its has a lot of colour saturation and vibrance due to Super AMOLED screen.. I will compare to display models on Wednesday and see how.. I got 28 days to exchange anyways!
[Xperia Z1 General] lee480:
Well, the S3 displays whites with a distracting blue tint. Returning that unit? Lol.

Just give it a chance for it to settle. Try going to *#*#7378423#*#* and run a display test. Check if it's yellowish there. Unless my Xperia Ion has a yellow screen (highly doubt), I compared a C6903 and my ion screen yesterday via the service menu and whites looked white on both screens.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
Yeah looks pretty white in the test.. I'll hold on compare to other display units when I have a chance on Wednesday and then see how... Its probably my eyes lol..
[Xperia Z1 General] nishant786:
Hey I did that test and its yellowish. Is that a build defect?
[Xperia Z1 General] Throbin Wood:
Same issue with the Xperia T when I compare it with the Xperia play
[Xperia Z1 General] Andrewtst:
Z1 screen quality is not that good due to it probably is (at least certain batch) TN/VA panel.

Z1 is not same panel use as Z Ultra which is IPS.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
to me the Amoled screen makes everything look unnatural - like everything looks animated instead of real, it might be pretty to look at but it is just so lacking in detail and texture, I tried watching a movie on anS4 and it looked dark saturated and animated - honestly not really what anyone want

Ever wonder why they don't use Amoled screen on TV's ? if you answer that honestly then you will understand why the Z1 screen is preferable
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
It is difficult to fabricate and costly to fabricate large panel using AMOLED. the life of AMOLED is not high to be used in TV..Content mad is for sRGB gamut not for complete visual wavelength... gaming in AMOLED is awesome... other than that Z1 is awesome..
[Xperia Z1 General] expertzero1:
Tested the camera vs my HTC one. Z1 is pretty good Imo.

Screen has poor viewing angles, but who's really going to look at the phone at these angles really....

And the yellowish screen, not as white as my HTC one, but it's not yellow as others are saying. I remember the s3 and note 2 were yellow so idk
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
Can you post a screenshot of what you got in the test?
[Xperia Z1 General] ajftl:
I don't think the z1 screen is the best out there but not bad. and much better than the old z software is fine here. fast and snappy camera decent. Not better than my 1020 but better than a lot of phones out there.
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
I was comparing screen colours to my nexus 4 and they were well off.

There is no way I'm accepting a device that is worse then the model it's replacing.

Let's see what the N5 brings.
[Xperia Z1 General] daleski75:
Wise choice if you are unhappy with a device then no point keeping it and you really cannot go wrong with the Nexus range anyway.
[Xperia Z1 General] sebbo90:
You must have had a bad unit as I have compared mine to the nexus 4 and the screen on the Z1 is much nicer
[Xperia Z1 General] jos_031:
Pic taken by Xperia Z1.. indoor... flash off...ISO 50.. image stabilisation off... 20mpx

Photo taken by a DSLR... flash off.. auto mode...

Compare and tell... the top left corner of phone pic is due to hand.. the camera position is not so good..
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
Z1 left and N4 right taken with N7
[Xperia Z1 General] ajftl:
This mine. I just sold my nexus 4 sorry I can't compare.
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
Errr that's a screen shot of the phone? :what:

Need to photo the photo with another phone in shot.
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
why is the Z1 screen not fitting properly - suspect to say the least

Mine is pure white

what brightness level you set at
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
WHAT?

One has gone to Google UK and nexus has gone to a slightly different UK address. Slightly different address is due to me signed into my Google account nothing else.

Suspect my ? Yeah right :banghead:

Brightness doesn't change whites to cream.

[Xperia Z1 General] benziii:
How about calibrating it, and see if you can replicate your nexus.

I mean we all got different tastes, and even two equal phones can be off key.

Calibration exists for a reason.

I will say though, that sure was yellowISH:p
[Xperia Z1 General] Northern-Loop:
Come on? Why should I have to try make the screen better? For the money I paid the screen should be fantastic, no?

Calibration applications probably require root access?

This device has failed quality control.

And this thread suggests this isn't the only device like this either.
[Xperia Z1 General] benziii:
settings-display-white balance... not there?
[Xperia Z1 General] shem2409:
The Z1 doesn't come with white balance settings in the Display menu. I had a little bit of a yellow tint problem but managed to sort it out by downloading a free app called "screen adjuster" and increasing the color blue to +4. The yellow no longer shows and the whites look good. You do not require root for that to work. It seems to be a temporary fix.
[Xperia Z1 General] dw1llow:
I've already cancelled my pre-order of the Z1. Just too much drama with the camera and the screen.

There're many dedicated sony fanboys (look at their device list in their signatures, they've never owned phones from other manufacturers) in here that defend the performance of the camera in low light, saying that it's because of the auto function and it should be taken in manual mode, it will be fixed with a firmware update etc etc. Which is total horsecrap. I won't purchase a phone because it "can" be or "will" be fixed. And someone in here put it best, I won't pull out my phone to take a photo in the club and tell my friends to "hey hold up, let me calibrate my phone to take photos in the dark".

Then there's the display. Clearly when you look at the responses here (or even in youtube videos), we have polar opposites. People with good screens and people with bad screens.

Refer to the thread, [Discussion] Z1 display lottery. Again (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2445283). We have to agree that there indeed is a display lottery going on.

But the thing is, every time a person complains about a bad screen, others with good screens jump all over the thread and basically scorn on you for being "anti-sony" or "samsung fanboy" or "apple fanboy" trying to give sony bad name. Clearly, there're different batches of screens used on the Z1, and this is causing such discrepancies in the display performance. But how these sony fans take it so personally, just makes me wow.. i've seen many forms of fanboyism, like that of samsung, htc, apple, nokia.. but sony fans... wow.. just wow.. they even scorn you even if you have pre-ordered the phone, and call you an apple fanboy just for criticising your very own phone.

Z1 for me was a huge disappointment, as I've been following the rumour mill of the "honami" for months, and it turned out like this. And interactions with the sony "crazies" in this community didn't help either.

I'll await for the Z2, S5 or N5. But I'd probably lean towards the S5 or N5 more than the Z2, considering my bad experiences within this sony community.
[Xperia Z1 General] lee480:
Great you made the choice!

Less terrorism here. Here's a Sammy Salute!

On topic:

Those who have abnormal screens, can you dial *#*#7378423#*#* and do a display test in the service menu? From what understand, some Xperia Z Ultra users have reported a yellow tinted screen (fixed by a recent update) that doesn't appear yellow in the service menu display test.
[Xperia Z1 General] ApriliaM3:
I think this thread has achieved everything it was ever going to achieve... and we don't need a new thread every time a Sony owner decides they're not happy with their purchase.

That would need your app to be in system, which you cannot do manually from the Play Store.

Or u have to make your own task manager from where your launcher will be excluded.

Showing it in the Task Manager does not require any special requirements. All apps are shown there unless you add any one of the lines in my earlier post.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Try gps status and toolbox app. It has a-GPS to help you lock on. If that don't work it might be a hardware problem.

☞Sent from here☜
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
If the problem persists through different ROMs and Odin to stock, then that's more than likely a hardware problem. You can still try the GPS apps from the play store, but chances are they'll do like mine and constantly display "Searching for GPS." I spoke to a Samsung rep a few days ago describing the problem and said that it would be covered under their 1 year warranty, just send it back to them. I would assume though that if you have T-Mobile service you could make the claim with T-Mobile instead of going through Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
Use the gps status app to check if you see any satellite reception. It might just be poor reception so try again without a case on your phone.

Isn't there some solar flare thing going on right now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericvbp21:
did you try to get a new phone? i think it might just be a hardware issue because i odin back to stock and still says searching for GPs. i don't have insurance with tmobile so i think i might have to go through samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ctrlaltdeln:
Definitely try GPS status/ toolbox, with a clear line-of-sight to sky, and let it go for 15 mins or so. I've seen it take this long, but subsequent locks will be quick. Also maybe try an older radio, maybe one released around the rough time of manufacturing. Roll it back maybe 2 radio releases. Can't hurt to try. I know cm10 Roms have had bad luck with GPS for the gs2, but not working with stock is suspicious. GL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I haven't sent it in yet. I'm 1,200 miles from home until around December or January, so I won't be able to send it in until I get home; but after speaking to the Samsung Rep he said it was more than likely a hardware issue and to send it in whenever I can. He also said that, water damage aside (which I know it doesn't have water damage, and I haven't even dropped it) the work would be covered by warranty.

I would say to contact them with your problem, but ya know... obviously don't mention that you're rooted, etc. I just said that I've tried different GPS apps, (Waze, Navigation, Weather apps, GPS Status and Toolbox, etc), Safe Mode (which WAS true), I've tried a factory reset (which was also true), used Kies to return to 100% stock (used Odin instead) and nothing worked.

I have a fully stock HTC one CID 02___001 which i can give you a nandroid from. All you will have to do is restore the nandroid, then manually flash stock recovery using fastboot and you will be back to stock and able to get OTA's etc. However i cannot do this till tomorrow evening for you, roughly this time ill post it for you.

If you happen to have a usb otg cable that can connect a mouse to your phone, you can restore a 4.1.2 backup. Then flash its recovery manually and use the mouse to get around the touchscreen not working and OTA your way back to 4.2.2 stock.

I will edit this post in about an hour once the 4.1.2 nandroid i have has uploaded(super slow uploads) and you can use it if needed.

The stock recovery you need to manually flash is in the nandroid. Just need to pull it out of the zip.

Hope this helps!
