Nop I have a rooted xperia Z ultra .. but I want to know in general how to change the color tone in android apk
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] -woczarder-:
In Xperia Z, not ultra it's something like this:

In /system/app folder, there are about 5 apps for themes (for example Bluetheme.apk, GreenTheme.apk).

Decompile them. To be continued...

I don't remember apk res folders!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] @rbiter:
Are really stupid. Between the governor differences, ram differences, thermal limit tweaks and whatever other little tweaks per phone/soc, what is the difference between Samsung or x OEM modding their phone to run full throttle and the consumer putting the phone in performance governor and running it full throttle? The benchmarks between phones with similar soc's have less merit than guaging against phones with different SOC's and checking performance against different generation SOC's. I think it is best that OEM' tweak their phones to run full throttle on benchmarks as it leaves less question about what is better/best. The benchmarks aren't all that scientific anyways with all the variables anyways. It was funny at first when people were crying about it but now it's just frustrating and another stupid first world problem for all the peeps with little weiners.

Now I do have a problem with tweaks that aren't available as a preset like running a cpu or GPU above frequency that the soc isn't rated for. That itself is deceiving. But running benchmarks similar to running a performance governor I have no problem with. Some of these big review sites need to get together and come up with a standard that leaves little question if the OEM is running the benchmarks above spec. Just smdh. Simple solution.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cwalker0906:
To me Samsung just makes the phone do what the so called benchmark app is supposed to do anyway...make the phone run full throttle. There is no difference than setting your gov to performance and running the test.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcell1:
I'm planning on buying a xperia z, but with all upgrades there's a few things I have to check before I can commit on buying a new phone.

1 - how stable are the cm10.2 builds ? Such as battery performance ?

2 - battery performance on stock firmware ?

Screenshots would be great...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihaxda1:
i got the phone for like 5 months and battery life is like 2.5 - 4 hours of screen time and 18 hours - 1.5 day of stand by

without stamina i dont use it

on stock

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crixley:
I don't believe this at all lol

The battery life is pretty bad OP to answer your question honesty. Also the screen is poor, which may bother you. (very bad contrast and viewing angles). Aside from that it is good. Great design, definitely turns heads

Go look at battery tests, S4 sits as one of the top.

Also op, if you get one without an unlockable bootloder (like myself), you'll never even get to try cm

Seems legit.

Go check any battery tests on gsmarena, etc.. Did not fare especially well.

I mean it isn't horrid, but 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours of screen on time isn't anything to write home about
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adielee:
Depends

Depends on how you intend on using it.

If you're a avid gamer, then I probably would not recommend it. Battery life when gaming is average or below average.

However if you're not, and gaming is reserved for the tablet, then I highly recommend it.

Aside from being one of the most beautiful phones out there, you can get it for quite a good price now. Performance is, honestly, all you really need at the moment.

Despite what people say, the screen is very sharp (admittedly viewing angles are not the best, but it's not a concern for me as I pretty much always view it front on. Also when you think about it, you get more privacy).

Battery life is not bad at all (if you don't run heavy games all the time). On screen time varies and can be between 3.5 - 5 hours or so, but don't be obsessed with the times though, just enjoy it. Unless you have nothing to do all day then it's quite hard to run out of battery during the day. Talk times and quality are pretty good.

Loving my Z, I can't say that this phone is the best at anything, but all together as a package it's quite awesome. Waterproofing is a bonus.

Give it a 0.2 mm thick back cover, custom rom, maybe a sound mod and I guarantee you won't regret buying one!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcell1:
Coming from my beloved ville, I'm just looking at phones with 2gigs of ram and a quad cpu, and good dev support. its between these 4 phones at the moment

-nexus 4 (mainly for support and xda support)

-s3 i9305 ( better then the s3 as it was an extra gig of ram)

-note 2 (big ass screen)

-Sony xperia z (1080 screen)

Im not the hugest phone gamer, i mainly use my device for Instagram, tumblr, and other networking apps. Iv watched a few reviews on all 4 phones and I'm kinda leaning towards the s3 and the sony ATM. Its just the screen problems (battery drain, and poor viewing angles)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adielee:
My advice is not to be overly fussy about what you're looking at. By the time you decide, a bunch of new phones will be released and you'll have to start all over again.

IMO all 4 phones have all the goods you need to do what you want. For what you want to do, battery life on all 4 would be sufficient for a whole day.

They are really not all that different unless you go into the tiny details. Honestly, in my experience, being overly focused on the details will make you regret your purchase no matter what you buy.

I understand why iPhone lovers can be much less stressed with their phone choice because there is really no choice for them. I prevents them from feeling bad about making the wrong decision We all know that the iPhone is not the best but it's owners are happy. For android lovers there is a paradox of choice........ which in this case is a bad thing.

So try to look at it a different way.

Since it will be with you everyday, think about which phone matches you as a person, just like when you're choosing clothes, or a car. E.g if your practical or stylish. Reckless or careful etc.

I got the Z because I like style. You may think it may be a bit superficial but the viewing angles are really irrelevant when you think about it. When would you ever need wide viewing angles anyway? It's not like you have a group of 4-5 friends watching a movie on it all the time (if at all). I don't see anyone tilting their phones at an angle to use it. TV, yes, but phone, no. Everything is pretty much on par with the rest of them (except for maybe battery life on the Note 2, but it's too big IMO)

Trust me. Thinking about it this way will allow you to enjoy your phone more and not regret buying it.

If you ask me, I would recommend the XZ, S3, Nexus 4, Note 2 in that order.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crixley:
It isn't just viewing angles though, the screen is extremely washed out looking with bad contrast.

But view angles matter if, for example, your phone is laying down on your desk and you turn it on to glance at the time, a text message, etc.. It isn\t extreme angles, it is unreadable if you aren't looking at it directly on.

I own a note 2 and this phone, I wish I could have the two make a baby.

I love the design of this phone, but the screen really gets me down :/

Spending that much money, you shouldn't have to "settle"

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

Any of those will preform better than the z, and will have much nicer screens.

Get the z only if fashion over function is your thought process (you want a nice looking phone, until you turn it on)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
well... at first my s4 got 4 hours of screen time (set on low brightness) after a couple of months it was 2,5.. the samsung batteries are very bad..

the screen is poor... yes... but i like it better, the screen is more visible in the sun compared to the s4... i dont really like the oversaturated screen of the s4 anyway... so win win :)

great design... that is one of the things.. and waterproof... that was actually why i wanted to change... on my s4 i always ended up hitting the screen when touching the damn buttons and it made me angry in the end. :)

what amazes me.. is that the camera is the same but samsung has made a better firmware.. the camera works very well on s4.. and the z has a very poor camera compared... focus is not great, black dots etc, low light grain and such... EXMOR surely is just a name.. not worth anything imo :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crixley:
Strange must have been a rogue app, I've had my note since it came out and battery life is the same as it was.

You can change to natural mode in screen settings to completely get rid of the oversaturation.

I definitely agree the z's design is amazing. Easily one of the nicest, if not the nicest, looking android phones there is.

What I don't get is why there is macro mode on Samsung but not Sony :/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawyed:
It's a good phone for the price. It's got a sd slot which is always appreciated. Performance is fine and it's got 2gb ram, that will make it last at least 2 years.

The screen is fine for me. Yes, viewing angles aren't great but nothing to worry about, unless you watch very dark movies at night.

Battery is average, standby time is quite good, screen time goes from 2h - 5h depending on what you do.

Haven't tried cm10.2 but Sony stock firmware is quite vanilla.

It all depends on what do you want, how much do you want to spend, etc.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellRoot:
macro mode? in what way?

well... the phone was deep sleeping properly... so i dont know why the battery was that bad... at least now i can say that my phone has used 60% for 2 hours 10 minutes screen time, 1 hour of calls, sms and web usage... with 2 days of standby... i am not unhappy with that. :)

all stock.. no root or anything.. i have relocked as i need to get the camera fixed... as i have quite a few black dots... :) when i get it back.. i will root and unlock the bootloader..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crixley:
I get about 8 hours of screen on time on my note over 2 days or so. Best battery life I've ever had by far.

By macro mode I mean in the camera, you cannot take true macro pics.

I can't unlock bootloader, I have a bell z :/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
Well, just one thing to contrast. Even the xperia s has a "numberous" higher contrast, in real life it is another story. The display is quite bright and colours are natural. Contrast is good enough for meh.;)

Well its looking that I'll be buying the phone on the weekend, iv been looking more into the stock ROM and it does look rather aosp. Does anyone know any details on if Sony's planning on releasing a 4.3 update ? And any info on the phone getting an official cm10.2 build ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] matteo92:
First of all, sorry for my really bad english.

I used CM9 RC3 by arco, but last week I experienced for the first time a big problem concerning the battery.

When I try to use 3G, I think only with the default browser, the phone shuts down randomly and then it tries to reboot itself, but it doesn't manage to do that. Why? Because the percentual battery indicator shows 0%, totally discharged! It doesn't matter if the battery was previously at 10%, 50% or 99%, it immediatly shuts down and the phone is sure that it's totally 0% =(

So, when the phone tries to reboot, it shows the bootsplash images, but when it's time to show the wallpaper, it suddenly turns off again. and again, and again...

This process stops only when I connect the phone to the power. So the battery begin to recharge itself from 0% to 99%. It recharges itself in a few minutes from 0% to 100% if the battery was previously at 70-80% when the problem happened. Usually, the lock screen said "Charged" but the stutus bar sayed something like 93-95%. If I reboot the phone the status bar return right to 100 in a few seconds. is the battery gone crazy?

I've tryed to flash again the rom, but the situation doesn't change. so I tryed to format everything (data, cache, dalvik cash, /sdcard, /system) and flash CM9 EOL (maybe with a different kernel...), and fix permissions. The problem still remain the same!!!

I used CM9 by arco for 6 months without anything bad, and now I can't use 3g. But wifi and 2g (I use always whatsapp) are so good!!! It's so strange!!!

My phone (and so its original samsung battery) it's about 2 years old. I don't think it is a hardware problem, because it's too strange that the battery has a good life and it's stable, except for the mix of 3g + Internet default browser.

What do you think I should do? Flash the stock rom? is there a good test for the battery status? try another rom?

Really thanks to everyone that will try to help me, and sorry again for my bad knowledge of the language. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
you can try batterycalibrator apps or re-install cm9 via pristine way ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Turn off your phone and remove back cover. Take out your battery and put it on a flat surface. Spin it at a medium strength. If it spins for more than 15 seconds then your battery is bloated. You will need to buy a new battery. Calibration won't help. If it's not bloated, and you tested a new battery and the problem is still there, then you have to send your phone to SSC.

Can't you see its a battery problem? It obviously can't be solved by battery calibrator as it is not a "omg-this-saved-my-battery" kind of app. Its just to recalibrate your battery stats.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] matteo92:
It spins for 2-3 seconds only!

"pristine" means full wipe of everything before flashing a new rom? already done. calibration? I tried the option "wipe battery" from CWM recovery.

Should I buy a new battery?

My opinion (anyway I have no proofs) is that it's a software problem, because every system crash linked with the "battery madness" is related to the use of the browser and 3g connection. Wifi connection seems to be good, 2g connection with whatsapp and viber is good, too.

I could try with another browser... alternatives? Dolphin? Something extra light if it is possible, I have to understand what is happening to my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iDelta:
Try a new battery.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I also think it´s the battery. Wifi isn´t the same like 3G. WiFi will cause a constant drain whereas 3G and phone calls can cause peaks up to several Watts. A bad battery not always can handle such peaks which result in such a case in huge voltage drops. These voltage drops will cause your phone to reboot.

The battery status telling you your battery is discharged after such a reboot is pointing to such a huge voltage drop and therefore it will be more likely a almost death battery rather than a software issue.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] matteo92:
Ok, thanks you so much for explain to me what's the problem! =)

Now, I'm going to try to use Opera mini or Chrome instead of the default browser, it could be stupid, but I want to try everything is possible before buying a new battery.

I will keep you updated about the effects of these other browsers.

PS. if 3g is the problem, why don't 2g and whatsapp (opened all day long ) cause the same reboots?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] matteo92:
UPDATE.

I tried to use Opera mini for half an hour and I noticed no problem (with 3g, of course). Then I was happy, but.... When I was listening to music with Apollo the problem happened again =( It didn't happen immediatly, about after 30 minutes of mp3 listening (with headphones). Is this a case of huge voltage drops?

can you suggest me a good battery for our galaxy W on Amazon?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Ok well listening music isn´t consuming that much current but sometimes the cpu clock is jumping up when for example Apollo or an other app needs to read some further data of your music files. So this could be still your battery going down the hills or in case you are undervolting your CPU at a to low voltage.

Either way the reboots are a sign of the voltage droping sometimes and when you say the battery indicatior is sometimes telling the battery is discharged after such a reboot then I´m almost sure it´s a faulty battery. This because if the reboots where just caused by undervolting or a faulty software, your battery would only loose some % after a reboot. So for example if your battery is still at 60% it would be around 55% after crashing and rebooting but not at 0%.

And if you say this doesn´t happen when the charger is plugged in, then I´m 100% sure it´s the battery. All in all no other browser or an other music app will fix this exept replacing the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] matteo92:
ok. thank you! Where I can find a good battery for my galaxy W (online shops... I'm from Italy and Amazon usually is a very good choiche)

PS. Same reboot problem while I was chatting on Whatsapp (first time tha happens with 2g and Whatsapp :crying: ).

PPS, after the last reboot:

battery gone weird XD
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
I don´t know what batteries Amazon is selling in Italy, so can´t tell. There is a thread somwhere about recommended batteries. Personally I was very satisfied with a Feipusi 1900mA I got on Ebay, but couldn´t find them anymore. There is even a 2900mA battery which is double as thick as the normal and comes with an extra cover. People are saying it´s very good and I found it for just 15 Euro on Ebay too, so am myself thinking about buying it when I will give the SGW to my wife. Just there are also some of the "golden batteries" T759 also floating around. They are labeled as to be 2450mAh but are having less than the stock Samsung batterie. They are normal size, totally golden and very cheap. Having two of these golden ons here but my stock 2 years old Samsung battery is lasting longer than these ones. If you can´t find anything else, you can use them too but else buy something better.

So if the size doesn´t matter you can get one of those big 2900mAh batteries with the extra cover and if in doubt which one to buy, Samsung will be your best choice.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] matteo92:
Hey guys! One week ago finally my new battery arrived (I bought it on Amazon from another country and the spedition was very slow). Now my Galaxy W is in good condition, battery is good and very cheap, and looks like the original one. For 10€, I solved the problem.
