The Universal only supports UMTS 2100 Mhz not the Cingular 1900Mhz based system.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Gilbert:
Bummer. This is a sad day in the history of sad days :evil: Ok but I can still use my unlimited GPRS to surf the net, right?

With the new devices planned for this year, are they planning multi UMTS bands along with GSM quad/ multi bands?

Thanks,

Gilbert
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
You can only use GPRS on the 1900 network. If you're outta luck there are no 1900 masts in your area (only 850) and it will be a really, really sad day and you wished you had bought a quad band device etc...

There is also some rumour that US UMTS will not use the 2100 band - that would be a real bummer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Gilbert:
I remember in the US when the Jam came out there was two radio versions. One for the US, I cannot remember the bands and another for the rest of the world. But I clearly remember that it was a software issue and not a hardware as the software could change the frequency to match your requirements.

Does this exist for UMTS?

Regards,

Gilbert
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
this depends more on the antenna design, and how far away the bands are. The radio tuner should not be the issue.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Gilbert:
Thanks for the reply. Does a software band switcher exist to do the switch to 1900 UMTS from 2100 UMTS?

Thanks,

Gilbert
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sandrobber:
The Truth

USA uses the 2100 frequency for US satalites this is why Cingular does not support the 2100 frequency. They will never have 3G on 2100, FCC crap the only thing we can only hope for is a hardware upgrade for the antenna but I doubt it. GPRS only works on 1900 so who ever told you the 850 crap doesn't know. this is why you can get voice calls in certain area but no data + if you only had an 850 towers you wouldn't beable to make a call scince you don't have that band on your device. I don't think there would be a way to hack it to use the 1900 mhz frequency because it would take a really smart developer that can do a lot more than registry tweeks to wirte a relay to the 1900mhz antenna. sorry guys.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] addicus:
I did a lot of reading on this last night. Rumor is Cingular is to start using the 1900 band for incoming and outgoing and then add the 850 band latter since the 2100 band is not available.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sandrobber:
just a rumor

It is just a rumor. They already have 3G on 1900 and that's it, 850 is old technology if anything the 1900 tower are going to be eventually replace the 850 tower. Trust me, I live in LV where 3G is all over, GPRS, and 3G is only on 1900mhz if you look at the coverage maps for gprs vs the cellular coverage map you'll see what I'm saying.
[Xperia Z General] knightpt:
Hey guys, for months now since i got my beloved xp z a thing that bothered me somewhat were that when it was flat on the table i had trouble seeing my work mails unless the phone was realy close to me, as normally refered as the viewing angles.

Since then ive been reading and experimenting with a lot of apps to tweak the contrast and backlight intensity but well everything basically sucked and didnt work as advertized in the options.

Disapointed but not beaten, i recently tried an app that actualy works realy well to my amazement.

First of all, its a screen filter that decreases the intensity of the whites, but it seems to work a little diferently from all the other milion apps that swear to do the same.

It requires some number tweaking and ive settled for 60% filter in the app, then increased the phone brightness to 65%, just tweak it to your preference.

App store: screen filter by haxor industry

It has a substancial effect on the angles and heck i think i even find the colors better...

Cheers
[Xperia Z General] Mahdian57:
cos of TFT nature that produce white a little more compare to other I've using "Smart SCREEN PRO" . it has more setting such as multicolored filter, can dim navigation bar and etc.
[Xperia Z General] Lemagex:
Definitely looks nicer. blacker blacks. Thank you very much.
[Xperia Z General] totzkitotz:
Thanks for sharing sir...Im gonna try this one and hopes to get the one i wanted with my Z :D
[Xperia Z General] shmykelsa:
Really you are struggling with viewing angles? I'm so happy with my X Z, I really don't know why people are arguing about viewing angles.
[Xperia Z General] knightpt:
It troubles me at work yes. My desk is always full and my phone needs to be in weird angles while i have mails with open documents.

The majors problem is that most scanned documents are in white background and xperia z loses a lot of contrast in wider viewing angles.

With this app tough i get a little better readability on documents in weird angles.
[Xperia Z General] QualCZ:
Great, this app really works :D

I noticed big.differences in screens in different phones. My dad has an older Z and his screen looks washed out when mine's on par with screens like HTC one and S4 in terms of viewing angles. My phone is about 2 months old and my dad's is half a year old.
[Xperia Z General] alexpraga:
This difference you've noticed, are the two Zs using the same firmware?

[Xperia Z General] greglord:
Really? I came from Samsung Galaxy S 1/2/3 to Xperia Z and I'm so dissapointed I can't even tell you. This is by far,. the worst screen & colors I have seen in a while.

Any screen/angling/coloring improvement on Xperia Z is a must.
[Xperia Z General] Option58:
Well you are coming from oversaturated Galaxies. That is not how colors should look!
[Xperia Z General] chowlala:
Yeah, it's like looking at a cartoon vs watching a movie. :P

Check your screen types. Depending on where your unit was built, it can have a different display LCD.

I do believe those smartphones with screens that has very wide viewing angles are for people who use their phones sideways, and those who like showing their texts and emails to strangers sitting/standing beside them.
[Xperia Z General] Tommy-Geenexus:
The viewing angles can never be fixed due to the tn-display.

Compared to my n5 with excellent viewing angles and a very good black level the Z display has no chance, but honestly i don't care that much,

Z is still a solid phone.

Hello everyone!

what can I do?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrkvak:
Hello,

I've bought a new device - Evolveo StronPhone Q4, MTK6589 based phone. The stock ROM is basically vanilla Android 4.2.1. I've successfully rooted it using Framaroot.

Then I've created scatter file using MTK Droid Tools (all partitions that were formated were ext4).

Then I've decided to create a backup before I start playing with it, so I've tried backing up flash using SP Flash Tool (using Readback), it was running fine and downloaded approx. 20%, then crashed. I've tried that once or twice more times, always failed. Now after I plug it in, windows display "This device can perform faster" and FlashTool won't detect the device. If I connect it without battery with VolDn key pressed, FlashTool detects it and I get S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL.

However, the phone boots fine, just GPS/Wifi/BT is not working. (No GPS icon appers, and I get errors like BT_open: WMT turn on BT fail in dmesg). Looks like an issue with kernel/HW issue.

Any ideas what could have gone wrong and how to fix it?

In the meantime, I've asked manufacturer for a stock FW image, but I'm not sure it helps...

Update: Okay, I have no clue what just happened. However I've unrooted, reverted everything I've modified on the phone so far so I'll be able to return it to manufacturer as "deffective"... And just for the curiosity connected it to the computer and tried downloading ROM one more time. And it succeeded - I'll upload the ROM once I get access to faster internet connection. I've removed the battery (phone was stuck in Preloader mode because I cancelled ongoing RAM test.), put it back and now everything works.

So, it looks like everything is fine now, however I'd love to know what happened, if you have any clue, please let me know!
