[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
My point is simply to say you spend a lot of time to make comparison, but to compare nothing. A screenshot is an image taken from data directly stocked on the RAM before any image processing, and so before the XZU make any modifications (X Reality) for improve image on the screen. So you only compared image decoding and encoding and not image on the screen.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KonW:
then why you see the difference of the same pic file across devices?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Try to encode a CD with Windows Media Player and Itune, both to MP3 at 320 kb/s, then use it on a sound system (if it is on poor quality you may not hear it), you'll hear that the sound is different. I am really sensible to sound and can clearly feel the difference. Same go for JPEG or PNG or any image compression, each manufacturer use his own build in encoding program and process. Even if the extension is the same at the end, the rendering will be different.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KonW:
well except that we all already see other big differences like,, listening to 2 different songs,

so without your fancy ear capibilities we already can tell that it's different , and no matter how the comression or even bitrate is processed, 2 different songs do sound as 2 different songs
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
I was talking about same song from the same CD, where did i say different???
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KonW:
as my first replay already said, which is the point ive been making this whole conversation

if the difference is subtle, it may be casued by other issuses, like the compression you said, and if we can barely see the difference, more accurate camera shot and file format should be used to compare

but here, we already see the very different color density like we felt when saw with naked eyes

like if you hear song A sung by devices A as " oh l love you so much"

and you record it , compare it to the same song sung by devices B as " oh I like you so much"

and record it ,,and when you compare them , you dont even need to consider what compression or bitrate you used to record, casue no matter what, you can already clearly see the difference

and then you start to wonder if it's devices A 's maker tweaking, that made it to sing "love" instead of "like" to make it more appealing , or is it that it was defective and wasnt able to produce the sound "like", and so you start to do the comparison 2, and 3 i did.

got it?

yeah maybe if you stopped earlier and read my first posts replied to u more you may end up saving some of my time ,, and yours

and you shouldve done so way earlier
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Zamboney:
KonW: you have no clue what you're talking about. It's obvious you prefer the childlike, oversturated colors on an AMOLED. In comparison the correctly, calibrated D6500 colors of the ZU might seem paler, but that's how they are intended to look in reality.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Guzprom:
I ended up buying the Xperia z u anyways. Comparing with my desktop computer, MacBook Pro retina, iPad retina and iPhone (lest I'm accused of being afflicted by the amoled eye syndrome). It is consistently paler/less lively and black isn't as deep... But not as bad as I thought it would be. Would do an SLR side by side shot in the weekend
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] deepu4puppy:
are you nuts??wht are you trying to prove??the colours on the ultra are extremely natural vibrant and beautiful take its hardware which is triluminous and becomes even more satrurated and vibrant after the xreality engine is turned on which never goes to a level of unnatural oversaturated cartoon like colous like samsung displays..which can always be turned off if that isnt required coz its subjective and comes down to personal choice whether you want that extra punch in colours or not...screen of ultra is never washed out neither are the viewing angles poor which some criticize in xperia z..just dont criticize for criticizing sake.try to find correct advancement of technology..no matter what samsung or any other company can never reach the class and innovation of sony technology..sony is world leader in technology for more than 5 decades not just like that..they have earned it with their product tech..one more thing ..it definitely will take time to adjust to the new screen if you are coming from samsung screens but dont worry that adjustment is gonna happen for betterment sake coz u will slowly observe more natural true to life colours as you go on..nothing against you just giving my opinion..but these days bashing sony everywhere is kindaa becoming a fashion..cheers mate..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
Weird, I find my ZU's display to be more vibrant than my brother's iPhone 5. Blacks are just as deep, too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
People just can't accept the facts, they need to troll about Sony. Apple and Samsung gods can't be surpassed (in some heads), so they need to say this is less good and make comparisons that prove nothing.

People who like saturated colors will hate this screen, people who like good colors will love it. Personally true colors are the best, and Sony is the master in this matter.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] hurt8000:
I don't know if anybody knows but I bought my note 3 at sam's club for $288, great deal if you have a membership or a friend does
[Galaxy Note 3 General] fgvb:
Is this without a contract? They're $299 with a contract.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] NoFanboy:
What do you think?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hurt8000:
Of course on contract, but through sprint the phone is $350 on upgrade
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Techngro:
Not such a great deal when you consider the contract part of it, I think. They've got you for two years at probably $70+/month ($1680 at least). And during those two years, if you want to upgrade, they'll probably make you sign a new contract AND pay the new contract price (if they even let you upgrade). :( Sounds like a raw deal to me.

I'll take my $670 upfront cost, no contract and $30/month plan anyday. Next year, if I want a new phone, I sell this one for $450, get whatever new phone I want, and never even have to consider my carrier as an obstacle.

Just my $.02.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Phredeee:
Where for that price?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Techngro:
I pre-ordered mine on Negrielectronics. I used a coupon for $20 off (sorry, that coupon is no longer valid, but there are others that are still good), and Negri's price was already cheaper than T-Mobile's. Plus no tax and shipping. Ended up saving $100 over T-Mobile's off-contract price.

They still haven't shipped their devices, but for $100 in savings, I can wait a few days extra. And of course, having no contract is the icing on top.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jedro072:
I bought mine at a Cambodian store made in vietnam class b with 1 year warranty 32gb white no region lock tried with thai simcard all ok and cambodian sim all fine tried my roaming philippine line still workin. Costed me 696$
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Phredeee:
Thanks. I'm close to pulling the trigger on one. I use RedPocket and do not want to pay ATT for even one month as required on their no contract price.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Techngro:
Well, if you wait a couple of weeks, they'll probably start showing up on Swapp (XDA Marketplace) once the 14-day return window has passed. People might change their minds and list them for sale.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Phredeee:
Thanks for the heads up. Now trying to sort thru the different models (carrier differences) and prices. I used to think the Tmo and ATT hardware were the same. I'm not so sure anymore. The ATT flavor is $55 more expensive on Ngri. It also appears the 64GB model is not available anywhere that I've seen. Don't know how important the memory issue is since an SD card can be added.... Since I use an ATT MVNO I have to be sure about compatibility. Is there really a difference in the 4g freqs ?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Techngro:
This thread on XDA seems to suggest that both the T-Mobile and AT&T versions support the exact same frequencies.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2464498

I've noticed the difference in price as well, and it is considerable. I'm not sure why the T-Mobile version is cheaper than the others. Negri buys theirs directly from T-Mobile, so it could just be that they are getting a better deal from T-Mobile than the other carriers.

As for the storage, 32GB is pretty decent to start with. I've seen that that translates to about 25GB of user accessible storage out of the box. And yes, most people have MicroSD cards already, and 32GB cards are pretty cheap these days (I bout mine for $20 last year). Someone also just posted a link in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2466753) to a 128GB MicroSD card. Of course, the price is ridiculous, so I don't see many people buying that.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinkle2K:
Hi all.

Question 1:

I'm using an app called AutomateIt to turn on BT when I connect to a charger (and off when the charger is disconnected). I do this in my car and the phone connects correctly to my BT system. However some of the times it connects to my car the BT Audio is set to 0 for no reason.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Question 2:

Is there any app that can boost the BT audio volume?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7omahawk:
Hi,

I have a GT-I9500 which is not charging.

I have replaced the usb board and the battery, still nothing.

Any ideas ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sk8man1983:
Hi 7omahawk,

Couple of things to try:

Does the "bolt" symbol shows on the battery sign (top right corner)?

Did you try a different charger or a different cable?

What if you connect the device to a computer?

Try this: turn off the device, connect the charger to the device and socket and turn on the device.

Remove the battery for a few seconds.

The charging hardware can be to blame if a 3rd party cable or charging block is being used.

Test the battery with a battery load tester at your vendor.

Visually inspect the battery for damage or dis-formation.

Factory Data Reset.

Please report back if issue is solved.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7omahawk:
Hi Sk8man1983,

Like I've said, I tried new battery and a friends battery, both didn't charge.

I also tried several chargers and a computer usb cord, nothing so far.

I'm afraid I'll have to send it to a lab but I really want to solve this on my own.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sk8man1983:
when you say that you've "replaced the usb board"

what do you mean? did you open the device and changed the electrical flex cable?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7omahawk:
Yeah.

[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
all you need to do is flash the stock recovery from this post>>>>>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
[HTC One X] sN_iPower:
I did that

Thank you for your input, but I already done that which resulted no success for me. The only way for me to overcome these black screens was by flashing:

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe

This makes my device fully functional again but it just leaves me locked on ICS because when do the OTA updates, Flash JB ruu's or even flash custom JB roms I just get stuck on bootloops. I don't seem to get one JB version of android working on my device. Thats why I'm here seeking for help from geniuses like yourself. At the moment my device is back on android 4.0.4 but thats about it. It works perfectly fine on this version but I just can't update no matter what way I try I end up in a bootloop :(
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
so you have a stock recovery now? and receive ota notifications?
[HTC One X] sN_iPower:
Yes

Yes I do and if I proceed with the update it will install without any problems but once it reboots it will be stuck in a bootloop. I ended up returning back to ICS and ignoring the update prompts when get told to update my software.

here you can see the update notification I recieve:
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
you could try installing the update and if it bootloops go into the bootloader, vol down and power, and do a factory reset from there
[HTC One X] sN_iPower:
alright

alright im going to try that now, I will get back to you once I done it
[HTC One X] sN_iPower:
I just tried everything you told me, and I still ended up in a boot loop :( now I have to flash

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe

to return back to ICS
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
I'm curious why you first chose an asian ruu for your first attempt and then got the european ruu. there is another ruu available but I need you to answer the above first.

I have to go to work now so I won't be able to answer you, there is another ruu available for version number, it's the 18th one down the list, release 974956 http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor
[HTC One X] Thant:
Lock you are S-OFF try fastboot writecid HTC__032 i think is something like this and see what will happend after applay update. Or try manualy update with this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe after changeing the CID

The other way is manualy update your hboot to high version! Download from here firmware .zip for region 401 hboot1.31 and see what will happend
[HTC One X] sN_iPower:
I flashed the asian ruu first because my CID used to be HTC__621 which requires TW ruu's (I tried the JB one) also on the back of my device it says made in Taiwan. But after flashing the rom it didn't work and put me in a bootloop so I changed my CID to 11111111 and flashed the European ruu ( I tried the JB one) which also didn't work and ended up putting me in a bootloop. It was my friends father who then changed my CID to HTC__001 and flashed the European ICS ruu which worked flawlessly. Do think I should flash the ruu you recommended? because its a ICS ruu and I'm trying to get to JB. Anyway I really thank you for trying to help me, you are the only one who replied to me :)

Look at this image it shows you that my device was made in Taiwan
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
Actually [MENTION=2528998]Thant[/MENTION] replied also, try what he suggests at the bottom of his post to update your hboot, it's a different one to the one you tried, then try a higher ruu
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
I am wondering why everyone, OP and those attempting to assist, are assuming that what is apparently a prototype model of the One X would even be compatible with the updates. :confused:

If it is a prototype, regardless of how it identifies itself, it may have differences that simply prevent ANY of these software versions from operating.

I think that is one possibility the OP may have to be prepared for.
[HTC One X] Thant:
Maybe you are right he must to prepear and know the chance to broke his OneX is big because is prototype.
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
That had crossed my mind actually, but he is receiving ota notifications and the results he posted from "getvar all" indicate everything is as it should be, same model number even.

I have come across an early prototype before and the only 2 differences were the casing and slightly larger headphone jack socket. AFAIK the hardware was the same. Unfortunately, the one I saw wasn't working so I don't know what version of android it had
[HTC One X] xb2:
Just to ask further: i dont see ruu for 4.19.707.3 (cid htc_044) on the site androidruu? I'm looking for it but yet to find, except for odexed/deodexed stock rom.
[HTC One X] Thant:
No more RUU only stock rom or nandroid. You never find that RUU because HTC never release this RUU.
[HTC One X] xb2:
Ah, I see. Manual flashing stock rom is still ok anyway.

Thanks for the info, Thant

[HTC Desire S] Samstag494:
Hey,

I'm going to unlock my girlfriends Desire S and want to flash a custom ROM. I'm just not sure which recovery I should use. On the one hand is 4EXT 2.2.7 RC5 what seems to be a little bit old or CWM 5.1.8.5. But I don't know which one ist better (more stable). Hope you can give me a guess which one I should use, or if it doesn't matter.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Hi, use 4ext recovery, its way better in every way. Latest version of 4ext "touch" below. The one u have is old and non touch.

recovery.img MD5 = aac29a86966939ec4ae6bc734d0a7c81
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Can u post ur bootloader details? Have u thought about making ur phone s-off instead of just unlocked?
[HTC Desire S] Samstag494:
It is 2.00.2002. I dont see any need to Downgrade, it's just that I don't have to flash the Boot.img over again, isnt it?
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
u dont even need to flash the boot.img when using 4ext recovery, with 4ext u can enable Smart Flash for s-on devices and that flashes boot.img

s-off is good coz it gives u full control of ur phone but as its ur girlfriends phone then yh, not much point in s-off really coz im guessing she wont be trying things on it unlike us flashaholics :cyclops:
[HTC Desire S] Samstag494:
Okay, nice to know! So it flashes the Boot.img from Inside the Rom.zip? That would be sick :D. Ive read nowhere about that. Yeah, thats exactly the point, ill just flash her some cyanogenmod and she'll be Happy :D
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
yh its a good feature of 4ext. The thing is that i dunno if the smart flash option is in the recovery menu coz my phone is s-off so it might not show it but its definitely in the app soo u might have to flash the rom then flash boot.img for the first time but then u can install the 4ext recovery updater apk (below) once the rom is booted then enable it in the settings. Im guessing ul probably be flashing a few roms for her till u find the right one, i dont really like Cyanogenmod, more of a sense guy ;)
[HTC Desire S] Samstag494:
I cant enable smartflash in the settings :( it says my Device is not supported, shall i use an older Version of 4ext?
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Its deffinitly supported (maybe someone with s-on can confirm that). Can u post ur bootloader details (everything)

[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Unfortunately smart flash doesn't work on the saga that is S-ON with your bootloader . You do still have to flash the boot.img via adb. You should always maintain your recovery to the most recent version which for the saga is rc9. I'm a strong maintainer that 4ext recovery is the very best especially for this phone so stick with it. If it was available for my s3 is flash it in an instant.

If you did decide to downgrade in order to gain true s-off then i would only recommend you update it to an engineered version of 2.00.002 afterwards anyway in order to reduce any issues with current roms as the partitions on the revolutionary.io are problematic when formating.
