The display is awesome, no yellow hue. I am well satisfied with color reproduction. The view angles are not as good as on fathers HTC One, but it doesn´t bothers me at all. So I am happy :)

I went to Sony service shop they told me different batches have different screen warmth. My screen is yellow - VERY yellow.

They showed me a Z1 from the first batch and the screen was white - So white that it wasn't warm enough. (Serial BH900)

Then they showed me a Z1 from the second batch, and the screen was just right. White enough and warm enough.. (IDK serial, so sorry to disappoint you guys :()

They told me that my phone is from a later batch of Z1. They put all 3 phones from first batch, second batch and my phone which is from last batch. What I saw was that the first batch is too white, second batch just right, and later batches (My phone) are the batches with the yellow hue. (My phone's serial is CB512, although the thread says that CB512 does not have the yellow hue, I'm pretty sure it's wrong.)

BH902** Italy with 14.1.G.1.534

Great display, no yellow hue (but I have doubts that this issue really exists and I'll tell you why). I can say that the white is warm like it should be.

I compared it with a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and I just discovered after 3 years that the white and all the other colors on that amoled are green, so I can say that I'm really happy with the display of the Z1.

Don't get angry, but for me most of the bad things I read on display are from people who doesn't really know how colors should be reproduced on a display. I worked as a video editor, I used professional monitors at work and I have a Panasonic plasma at home, so I know what I'm talking about. I have seen others Z1 and the display were all great.

If you like the fake color reproducing of the Samsung/LG phones/tvs than you have chosen the wrong smartphone because the Z1 reproduces colors as they are in the real life.

One thing that maybe can change your idea: go to the cinema and you will see yourself that the white as you imagine it doesn't exists in movies, the white has to be warm to reach the reference in reproducing colors.

I'll tell you another thing that you maybe don't know: it's nearly impossible to find two displays of the same model being perfectly the same. For example, if you buy two televisions and you have to calibrate them with a probe, the calibration will be totally different on the two sets even if they are the same exact model!! So maybe I'm telling you an incredible thing, but displays from the same model, factory, batch, etc, will never be the same! Please spread this and search for it on professional display/tv forum, because you are really doing a mess for an issue that maybe doesn't exists because any display is different from the other...

Sony can't just calibrate every display with a different calibration, this is why there are warmer displays and there are the colder one. You can believe it or not, but this is it.

I'll post again when the update 2.257 will be available on my phone if something changes. :good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kannanX10:
absolutely correct...........u can compare with n no of displays of same product and each one will slightly be different
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diego9016:
Thanks for this. I have a BH905 and I can clearly see the yellow hue when comparing my phone to a BH900 (You can clearly recognize the yellow hue).

I'm using the warranty on my phone, and I told them to send me a BH900 to see if I get a phone with no yellow hue.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88Mike:
Why the bars are grey on the right? Does they have a different firmware version?

This is what I'm talking about, this is not a defect as people claim. You can surely have the right to ask for another new Z1, but I just want to people understand that the warmer displays are warmer than others because they all have the same calibration but the displays are different for its nature of being displays. :D

If Sony calibrates one Z1 by one, we should all have the same color reproducing but with different calibrations, but it's impossibile for them to make millions versions of firmware because we all want the same white as others...And it's the same with every display technology. This is it.

btw, i think OP should be edited or what. :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailll:
I've got the opposite experience.

Mine is BH909 and I've got yellow tint. After fw upgrade (where it was saying fixed display calibration in features) nothing changed.

Also if I turn off xperia z1 and look at it under direct sunlight - I can even see display is not dark-grey but with brownish with yellow tint!!! :confused:

I'll try to replace it ASAP
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paniczklos:
As there is no solution and also there's no official explanation -it's a defect. As I've said before, I'll send a 0.5l of polish vodka to the person who will make my screen look like the demo one ;) (before delivery of the official white balance setting -which should remove all the problems if it's really only software fault ).

No yellow hue issue. :D

Little yellow

OK, so I have a White Z1 sn:BH902... At all I am OK with the display, at first I didn´t saw any yellow hue, but in comparison to my tablet TF700T the white on my Z1 is yellow. So maybe for Sony the yellow is a new white :D but like I said, it is noticeable only in direct comparison. Both devices were on max brightnes (tablet without IPS+ on) The full size picture is in the rar.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaith:
That's strange because everybody see yellow hue in normal using but not you... Maybe you have broken eyes? There is there about yellow hue. Go and see how many people see this yellow hue and which serial numbers are good and which bad. I have good phone without yellow hue and I see clear white. I comprise my phone to my friend phone and first what I saw in his phone was yellow hue...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerousen:
Oh dear, hopefully Sony gets it together and fixes this ASAP, otherwise those of us who are closing in towards the end of our contracts are going to have quite a bit of trouble. I had been planning to buy an international model, as I don't like the T-Mobile branding, and it'll most likely be added to the US variant once it is released in the US, but if this issue persists, I'll probably have to have a look at some of the US version displays as well, as it'll be easier for me to pick a good display that way. :(
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermond012:
Excited for the 4.3 update. Hopefully there will be a lot of improvement and fix especially the yellow tint issue which mine has and can be rectified through the new update as a software problem and not a hardware problem. But I'm not really keeping my hopes high. Just crossing my fingers (and my toes too!!!!).:D Right now, I'm trying to have my eyes get used with the screen without the use of Screen Adjuster app as sometimes the yellow hue is evident and sometimes it isn't. Hoping for the best to all of us Xperia Z1 owners.:D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vippo321:
No I have no broken eyes I just meant that in direct comparison it is a lot more noticeable than in everyday use. But now it frustrates me a bit that my tablet has a better white reproduction. And also serial numbers didn't tell much, I have a 902 serial which here is stated that those models doesn't suffer from yellow hue.

Unless I am completely oblivious to the yellow hue, I'm sure my display is fine. Whites seems white and my viewing angles are decent enough - definitely much better than my Xperia Z.

New serial to add.

Hi Wouter,

Just add the BH90D to the list of not so good screens.

I've got a BH905... bought from t-mobile. I've put this screen under a microscope. And it has the same pixels as shown in the first example (it has the small notch in each pixel colour).

A collegue of mine as bought a Z1 from t-mobile with serial BH90D. This screen is brighter but has the yellow heu, this with the 257 firmware.

This evening i'm checking his screen under the microscope.

I will report soon.

Just to know, is there anybody out there know how the pixel should look of a real sony Z1 screen?

Is it the second example shown in your post?

btw. Wat flikt sony ons nu weer!!!! Bootloader unlock nie goed, scherm nie goed. Gaat goed zo.

my z1 also looks slightly yellowish on white/grey backgrounds compared to other phones or tablets but your case is kind of extreme
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vippo321:
Yes it is strange, that the yellow hue is in my opinion relative. I bet that if you seen my display in live conditions, you would say that it is the same as yours. It is utterly strange, because if I open my photograph on my Xperia Z1, I can see a perfect white which is represented by my tablet and a yellow screen which is represented by my phone :D So I just dont understand how it is possible, my logic would say, that if I watch the photograph trough my mobile, the tablets white and my mobiles white should be same, but it is not... :D
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
try this

download an app called screen adjuster and add a little bit of blue on the slider(8 or 10 points) and then activate it

i did this adding 6 points of blue and it looks perfect, no more yellow anywhere, white is as white as any other device(iphone 5 for example), i uninstalled the app because i dont know the long term effects of it and this phone is 800$

Slight Yellow hue, no viewing angles issue, good brightness (I can clearly see the screen in daylight).

BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE WHAT THE HELL IS THIS DEAD SCREEN ISSUE FOR A LESS THAN 24 HOURS BRAND NEW PHONE? I'M MAD NOW!

I was about to write a SMS then PITCH BLACK SCREEN. I'll change back to my store ASAP, after less than 24 hours I have this issue. What will be next?

Coming from an iPhone 5 and being very familiar with iPhones with or without jailbreak, I can tell that the Z1 is awesome... when it works. It amazes me as much as it makes me angry.

For any newbie coming to this thread, don't buy this phone now and go search for another phone or wait until the Xperia Z1S comes out.

new serials

yesterday I went to a SONY dealer & tried 2 units with 2 different S/Ns & both have the same yellow tint, I noticed that just when I first powered on both devices (& asked to choose your language) & the screen really looked yellowish.

serials are BH90E & BH90K

So I didn't purchase the phone coz it's already expensive here & am supposed to pay a lot of money for a quality product tho am using SONY phones since 2006 & never had issues before.. Now back to my Xperia S until a newer S/N pops out in the market :(

A Test for Display Colors Calibration.

good work.

But...

don't just trust ur eyes to realize if ur phone has any color hue or tint

there s more different between our eyes than displays tech.

to understand if there s yellow tint-hue problem in ur display do this;

take an screen shot of white color (for example go to www.google.com from ur phone browser).

then take picture of that screen with another phone, webcam or digital camera. (without any angle)

and then compare screen shot with pic. But not with ur eyes...

open both file in photo editors apps in phone or PC (like photoshop)

then use color-picker tool to pick color of image.

white = #FFFFFF

the color u pick from screen-shot is the color that apps used it

and the color u pick from pic is the color that ur display shows

then check the result, is there any color near to yellow?

in my experience colors are almost white (near to gray)

:good:

-

If you got some results near to yellow and u don't like it then try to repair software first by PCC. or flash another stock firmware from another region. (cause faulty hardware is not s.oO possible)

if yellow hue remains take ur phone to sony service for replacement.

BH905 clear white OR yellow Hue !!?!!??!?!?!?!

that because this collection is nonsense

a curious member test some device with different serial numbers

there s no rule for it.

newest serial num. is better or worse !!!!????

there s just serial number that he/she collected from his own test. from his viewpoint.

his/her eyes is different from others eyes. he didn't make any technical experiment to realize it.

if u wanna release info and statics u must at least test 30-40 units from each serial numbers and then make results (and not just totally 20 units.) from millions of Xperia Z1.

(at least about touch screen problem thr s a test however not trustful)

i have BH909, as others reports it s one of the newest batch. my eyes love its screen. and will love it more when get white-balance.

in new batch here someone reports yellow hue !! and others report clear white.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing say more

u tried to make something interesting but ...

good luck

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Arjav23:
Hi S4 users,

Seeing the great development in CM 10.2 for our I9500 and with Grarak's RomSwitcher success , I have decided to add all modded updater-scripts here so that anyone ( especially noobs) can use it with ease.

Since most of the roms are based on CM sources, they may have identical updater-script , but to be on the safer side, i will upload the modded updater script for each 4.3 based ROM here.

REQUIREMENTS

- Galaxy S4 - I9500

- The original ROM you want to dualboot

- @Grarak 's RomSwitcher installed ( latest version) with all its required files downloaded

- PC

- WinZip or 7-zip

What to do

- Download the ROM u want to dualboot ( for example ROM1 )

- download the modded updater script from here

- Extract entire ROM1 to an empty folder ( say folder 'X' )

- navigate to META-INFcomgoogleandroid

- delete updater-script over there and paste the updater-script you just downloaded from here

- go back to folder 'X'

- SELECT all files and folders in it And right click --> 7-zip (or winzip ) --> add to archive --> choose .zip format and name it whatever you like---> Proceed

- Copy the new zipped file to sd card

- boot into recovery (TWRP reccommended )

- wipe cache

- go to install zip

- install the editted zipped rom, editted jb gapps, perseus kernel ( alpha9 +)

- reboot

- you should boot into TW rom, now switch the ROM using RomSwitcher

- Enjoy..............:good::good:

IMPORTANT

- Please download the updater-script after verifying rom name, rom developer and build date/build version

- If some developer wishes that his/her rom shall not support dualboot, please pm me. I will remove your updater-script
