Sure mate I'd be happy to run Echoe, but beware, I'm no coder/rom chef/or anything along those lines. I just spend way too much time on my phone, and tend to flash "lotsa stuff":P

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Dude, tried it and I'm in love. I just tried wanam xposed (free in play store for those wondering) for the xposed framework, and it's nice. You're right, no need for any other mods.

I've not yet tried to make sidebar black, but if that works too with wanam, there's no need for png swapping ;) Not too hard to set up either.

On a side note. There's also a debloat script I want to try once v03 is released, so I'll try a stock deodexed rom, debloat script, then wanam exposed, and see if I can get a nice setup.. I haven't received a link for Echoe yet, but honestly I just fell in love with the xposed framework. It seriously beats flashing zips.

Friedrich, perhaps Echoe could be something like that, xposed included, pre set up, but user customisable?

Hi, i have a problem with my custom rom. I followed many guides to create a custom rom. I use android kitchen and 7zip.

My device is Plunk elite 2 ( http://www.plunk.it/tvbox/pro ). I downloaded a firmware from Plunk and with android kitchen I added just one application in system/app folder. I build the archive with android kitchen and always with android kitchen i sign the archive.

When i try to install the update from sd card i get this error:

finding update package

verifying update package

installation aborted

I tried more times but no solved. How can I do? Where i wrong?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Following the topic opened for the device twisting in pocket (again, apologies for being a di*k on it), I discovered this other problem.

My back cover is not being completely shut.

I have a .5mm gap between the white border and the white back cover on the bottom right corner (looking from the back), just were the vibration motor is.

I'm even sure that this problem is related to another annoying thing for me, which is that the vibration is way too noisy (holding the corner pushed in makes the vibration smoother).

I submerged the phone in hot and cold water several times when I discovered this thing, but no problems whatsoever.

I tried to heat the back with an hairdryer and clamping it for the night, but eventually it lifts back up.

Oh, and I literally burned the white bezel a little (just a tiny little, but that got me really MAD), so be careful with the hairdryer in case you got the same issue.

I will post some pictures when I get hold of a decent camera.

Did some of you notice something like this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gbohm:
Not really but comming from the note 2 the vibration alarm feels much smoother soo i think ypu could have a bad glueing spot. I believe there is npthing you can do about it but claim a warranty your own repair tries will make it just worse. If you can't get it repaired under warranty wait for ifixit and look if they publish a repair guide with reapplying of the glue (highly doubt it though)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Mate, I'd send that in for warranty, that is not normal. Mine is always kept in my pocket and I've sat on it a few times and it's still fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Yeah that was my first thought, but tomorrow I will check first if it's a repair that could be done without leaving the device in for a week or worse.

I don't want to use an old phone for a week, no way.

Not just for a glue thing that can be fixed in like 5 minutes anyway.

From the other thread I posted:

I kept the phone warm for a bit and then I clamped it for 2 hours, it was fine for half an hour maybe, and then the back plate started to lift up again, obviously influencing the vibration as well.

I'm so pissed as I'm realising that I will have to go for warranty one day.

And by that I mean going through the whole "I bought the phone in the UK but you know that Sony covers warranty damages anyway in any EU country if you bought it from one" process.

I guess they'll definitely will oppose some resistance at first.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Is this back cover problem before or after the twisting experiment you tried?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
It happened way before, because the vibration was always strange...

Anyway, I sent it in for warranty, as yesterday I turned it off and it stayed in boot loops ever since.

I guess SetCPU had something to do with it, as I set it to 300mhz when the screen went off, and I suspect the phone didn't have the power it needed to turn back on.

I tried with every program I have (PCC, Sony Bridge, SUS), everything went fine repairing it, but no luck.

Now I'll have to wait more than a month (that's what they said, unfortunately) and I'll have to live with an LG 2X until then (:crying::crying:).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Oh! Poor soul :p But a month? Where do you live?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I live in Verona, Italy, and the repair centre is in Milan, like 100 miles from here.

Still, I don't know why the hell they take all that time.

In fact, I will call Sony again tomorrow complaining A LOT about this.

It's unbearable that in 2013, when I send a package via UPS from Italy to US in 1 (ONE) day, a cell phone repair (in which they will probably just replace the whole device) takes A MONTH.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
That's bonkers! With any luck they just say a month as the longest it could be, but will returned sooner. Month is just crazy.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Yeah, they replaced mine in 3 days!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Let's hope so, but I'm not that confident, I'm in Italy, not in the UK... things go slooooooow here.

Or better yet, why just not give me a (paid) option to just get it repaired in a week? I paid premium price for the device, I don't care for another 50 £/$/€, I just want it back.

What did your device have to get it replaced?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
It went dead while I was chatting on WhatsApp.

Hard reset, fastboot, nothing worked.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elusivo:
I'm very interested to know how the N9000 and N9005 perform playing heavy settings encoded 1080p videos. And i'm interested to see if the snap800 will be better at it than the exynos model since it can record/play 4k.

Such as this 1080p sample. Even both the note2/galaxy s4, that i tried, can't play this smoothly. Will the note3 snap800 be able to and the note3 exynos won't for example?

I would love to have real live info from that video clip as opposed to synthetic benchmarks, can anybody download it to both note3 models and test the 1080p sample and try with a good video player such as mx player or something and see if it plays smoothly?

And just for extra curiosity, can anybody download to the s800 at least and try to play this 4k sample?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
it does not play using default video player. used MX player to play the video. it played well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elusivo:
Awesome, tks, finally a phone that can play that video clip, i take it you only tried the 1080p sampe? Anyway xD looks like it's time for me to get a new phone!

Hope to hear from the N9000 too ^^

I tried it in MX player and it's 16 seconds (is this right?)

It seems slow, is it supposed to be slow motiony?

Edit -

4k video jitters in mx player..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elusivo:
I tried it when the note2 came out on a friends unit, and it wasn't smooth, maybe with the latest roms the video playback got improved?

But i also tried on a S4 when it came out and it didn't play smothly also, it had missing frames, so i didn't buy either phone, but i didn't try with updated or custom roms, maybe that's why.

ye, close to 17 sec.

I don't know if the video is in slow motion, but i guess it does kinda looks a little bit like that. The thing is that video is 108Mbps so if the note3 didn't play it smootly you could easily see it jitter/skip frames (as in my note1 :p) probly the same thing that you see on the 4k video which is really high bitrate also.

Now i wonder how the N9000 copes at playing the 1080p and 4k clips, probly the same results no?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Bloody hell, 424MB for 17 seconds?! Remind me never to download an entire 4K Bluray...

Yes, the video is in semi-slow motion: It's a Time Lapse.

(I'm not entirely sure the 4K video is meant to run smoothly to begin with. It does the exact same freezing at the exact same point in the exact same manner every time. I'd take it apart in Premiere, but Adobe just took a look at the filesize and gave up.

Even my laptop, which is a 3.2Ghz i7 with 8GB RAM and a 4GB VRAM GT 740M, has trouble running it. (And by trouble I mean, "does this even count as frames per second anymore?") It can run TimeScapes 4K (the first ever official 4K Timelapse film [MENTION=3071713]4096[/MENTION] x 2304) smoothly without issue...)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elusivo:
hehe ye, that 4k clip is just an abuse lol at 243Mbps it's a real task even for a normal pc, i just threw it there out of curiosity, normal 4k videos with lower bitrate will probly play fine (i hope...).

What i was really interested was the 1080p sample cause that clip is also very high bitrate for a 1080p, looks like the note3 can play it which means i can finally buy a mobile that play many of my high profile videos with 16 ref. frames and 10bit and etc, not even my standalone media player could play that one. Like that can use the mobile as a high end mediaplayer when out at friends house :)

have a couple more questions ^^:

1 - Now on the note1 when i used the mhl cable on tv i noticed that there was a bit of slow down compared to just playing it on the phone, also the battery discharged like crazy, i wonder if this will be the case on the note3 also?

2 - And, with this new usb3 and mhl2 combo, can we conect a usb otg cable to use an external drive and mhl at the same time? or it's still a no no? Either with a hub or Y-cable or any other method...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
Unsure about your questions but:

Of course note 3 can play "some" 4k because it records 4k and so plays them back in gallery :p

Also, how do you acquire your high end vids?

I did notice mx player has an option for hardware decoding 10bit ....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elusivo:
lol poor thing if it couldn't playback it's own recordings hehe :p

I'm really not concerned about 4k cause i won't get any 4k media for years i'm sure (as i think maybe the majority of ppl) :p but curious since the 4k is part of the s800 package... but i bet that even standard 4k bitrates with some encoding gimmicks (which are not hardware supported, since the default video player can't even play this ducks 1080p sample) will be too much for the note3...

Ye, mx player and others can play 10bit, but playing them smooth and artifact free is something that my galaxy note1 and home mediaplayer can't do :/ Such as many of the 10bit anime and high 16 ref frames profiles released nowadays.

Still missing a N9000 test tho :o

Hope is last thing to die so will wait if somebody can give some positive insight on those mhl and otg things, but i doubt it will happen, don't think it's something that would be on samsung's list of things to do.

the internal memory on these phones or normal desktop computers aren't fast enough to play 240mbps videos unless you have ssd etc... so it is not the chipset's fault but the internal memory's
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WouterNLD:
Finale update 26-12-2013: People, I have returned my Z1 and returned to a HTC One for now. I have seen over 20 Z1 devices over of the last two months and I find it insulting, even outrageous, that Sony uses it's customers like this and asking a premium price for it. Thanks all for your help on digging with me to this screen issue. My personal conclusion is that you are much better of getting a serial starting with CB**** instead of BH**** (except the first and second serious, BH900**** and BH901**** respectively). See you around people. Thanks.

I received my pre-ordered Xperia Z1 last Wednesday. Experiencing both the Screen of Death (see thread link below) and a very high saturated display with horrible viewing angles (see thread link below). I returned my unit last Friday. I spent a few hours in the store, together with a specialist, comparing the displays. Since I did not know the screen of death was a bug at that moment I did not pick up a new unit yet and I ordered a new one from a new batch / shipment due next Thursday.

We both verified that the displays had a lot of variations. Both the yellow hue was seen (see thread link below), but also brightness / viewing angles varied a lot! (see setup below)

I am trying to determine if a good phone, meaning a correct display, can be spotted based on the serial / build number. I am starting this thread to collect the build numbers together with a verified good or bad screen. Please post yours in the comments and I will summarize in the second post.

Our setup was:

1 Xperia Z

1 Xperia Z Ultra

1 Xperia Z1 that was shown as a demo model in the store

3 Xperia Z1’s fresh out of the box (first batch in The Netherlands)

Basically only the demo model and one out of three fresh Z1’s was better than the Xperia Z Ultra. All were better than the Z. The difference between the Z1’s were seen by the naked eye and were verified by 4 to 5 persons.

Screen of Death (link) (youtube). A user posted that Sony said it is a known issue and working on it (link).

Display and viewing angles (link)

Yellow hue (link) and color adjuster (link)

PS. I have been a long time user of XDA (10+), however I have lost my account due to a 2 year side track of another brand.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WouterNLD:
Serial / Build numbers

It seems that BH900**** till BH902**** has good displays. BH903**** till BH909**** has flaws. I verified this via my reseller, who was willing to let me examine over 20 units.

Also... this was seen on build up to 14.1.G.1.534. Please post if your display problem is solved using the new version!

Below the responses in multiple threads.

Clear white, no yellow hue (serial starts with)

(6x)BH900**** / BH90C****

(2x)BH901****

(6x) BH902****

(1x) BH906****

(1x) BH907****

(3x) BH908**** (although verified via reseller that colors and brightness was NOT the same, it was worse)

(5x) CB512****

Yellow hue, colors off and / or brightness lower (serial starts with)

(4x) BH903****

(4x) BH904****

(2x) BH905****

(1x) BH907****

(1x) BH909****

(1x) CB5****

What really is dissapointing of the phone is the Wifi signal and I hope it is fixable via a firmware upgrade, paying €650,- for a phone you would think this would be out of the box good.
