[G3 General] JeffDC:
If a person looks closely at the photo from the OP, i believe that 'each side' of this relative debate is partially correct. The differences between the top portion and bottom portion of the photo example by the OP show distinct differences, in two opposing directions.

The upper photo has sharpening applied to the fonts, while the back ground does not appear to have the same sharpening level. It is more 'fuzzy'. The fonts, being sharpened, is a very common font attribution - such as clear fonts, for example, though the rendering engine seems to work a bit different. The background has less sharpening as compared to the fonts.

On the other hand, the bottom portion of the photo has the background more sharpened, while the font is less sharpened. The background has more detailed pixelation, perhaps as someone said, less anti-alaising, somewhat the opposite of sharpening

I suspect the overlay issue/s may have to do with font rendering and background. Though you can 'tell' there are differences in the photo, it'd be up to the individual to decide which 'looks best'.

Take the photo, and look a bit better at it with PS. The font -vs- background differences between the two, top to bottom, are somewhat reversed, and under view, the differences are a bit easier to differentiate.

[G3 General] tsaojam:
This fix definitely helped, but for my phone it caused a "pulsing" of the backlight; as in the screen would become slightly brighter, and then go back to normal on a regular, pulsing basis, which made using the phone in the dark very uncomfortable.

I wanted to share though a tip that did work for ME (YMMV). I basically used iFont to change the phone's font, and then set the font to restore back to default font, but set the new font as the default font. After rebooting and everything, all the new fonts do not register the sharpening effect anymore. I have to be honest, I'm not sure if it's just the applying of a new font, or the setting of the new font as default that made the difference (I think it's the latter), but now my text is ultra sharp. Hope this helps some of you. And if it actually does work for others as well, please share it - because for me the sharpening effect was very obvious and annoying.
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
No. Doesn't do anything, obviously.
[G3 General] JeffDC:
Interesting. I think this may make sense, as the font and background seem to be differently laid by the OS, so you should be able to change the the font w/o goofing with the background.

Could you detail this in another way? I'm just missing which font became what.

Thanks
[G3 General] tsaojam:
Again, I kinda just stumbled upon this, so I'm not sure exactly at which step the changes occurred. Basically I had changed fonts through iFont, and then I went back to the my downloads section of iFont, and then you choose to restore your original font. I clicked that, and then choose restore internal, and then after reboot, I swapped to another font again (not default), and after that, the sharpening effect on text disappeared for me.

I would suggest a backup, and being careful, as I've heard people get bootloops with iFont sometimes. But for me the program has worked fine, and again for my device, the text is finally sharp.
[G3 General] EMJI79:
Did you do the OP tweak too or just the font tweak to get rid of the oversharpening?
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
The sharpening is impossible to remove.
[G3 General] EMJI79:
Then what's the point of the whole thread??
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
For people believing in placebos and/or having bad eye-sight: it appears to be working (it is not).

For all other people: it simply does not work. Same as all other "fixes". Keeps amazing me, all these "solutions" which don't do jack.
[G3 General] EMJI79:
So you're a tough minded guy?
[G3 General] BubbleBalls:
I've tried every supposed fix I've come across and not one has worked. This is in LG's lap. Hope they fix it, even if it comes in Lolipop, I might even keep stock to get rid of this stupid effect.
[G3 General] mostrapotski:
That s it. No more to say. We are in the same boat. LG finally found a way to make people use stock rom maybe and hopefully with lolipop.

Thanks for the pointer. That was my first kernel flash, with great results (IOS convert).

[G3 General] Benholder90:
Hey, what does.. YMMV, caveat emptor etc. Mean?

If you do this can it be changed back after to how it was originally?
[G3 General] Pfeffernuss:
Your mileage may vary.

The "fix" in this thread is useless, look for the brilliant solution by Skin1980 instead.

Navigate to root of device, then go to system, build.prop is in there (not a folder BTW).

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christofertan:
Hi guys, i have an S5 bought unlocked in belgium, europe. I had 4G in europe but in the United States it only receives H+. I checked the supported bandwidths with tmobile usa, two of the bands tmobile uses are in fact also supported by my phone (1800 & 1900) yet still it doesnt work. APN setting are already checked and confirmed correct. Sim card is brand new.

Since it still doesn't work, is there a way to flash a USA rom or upgrade something technical so i can get 4G? I would hate to have to buy a new phone again, i just bought this 4weeks ago thinking it would work globally :(

Thanks again for recommending the best possible option for me at this point...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Most of your questions here were posed and answered in your other thread.

Your 900F model phone is intended for use in a different country. TMobile uses a 900T model. The main difference between the two is that they support a different set of frequency bands. So just like roaming you could use your 900F phone on TMB, but there will be gaps in coverage. You will be subject to more congestion and dropped calls. And in smaller centers where a limited number of frequencies are in use, you may have no coverage at all.

If you never get LTE in a major center on your unlocked 900F, the first thing to check is that you have a LTE capable SIM and that your carrier i.e. TMB has provisioned your account for LTE. And try installing the latest version of firmware for your phone.

No, you cannot simply flash a 900T firmware onto a 900F and have it transform into the other model. By design, Samsung doesn't allow this (to sell more phones and deter carrier churn). There is a hack to add the AWS band to some models. And several threads endeavoring to expand upon that. However they are nascent and would be best described as experimental, dangerous (a good chance of damaging your phone) and with uncertain results as of this date.

Unless you want to put your phone at risk to be a guinea pig, your options are to live with the imperfect coverage or buy a 900T model.

If you want to take a risk, then have a look at this thread. And here. Basically you could use QPST or mzTools 1.21.a to format an edit NV_RF_BC_CONFIG_l to enable additional LTE bands. Enable the parameters with QXDM, then do the actual write with QPST. And /or try writing a raw image of an LTE enabled variant e.g. 900T baseband to your 900F modem partition with the dd utility. This is experimental. It may do what you want or it may brick your phone.

4G 900F in USA

Oké so turns out i am getting 4G just not LTE because of the state i am in. Thanks for trying but what i initially said was correct :) all S5s are global capable of 4G, just state dependant on the LTE band...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingowistico:
That's not quite true. The chance of damaging the phone is extremely small if you follow the instructions.

The thread to unlock all GSM and LTE bands is here.

With CM11 you won't get the blue led on startup -- it's been disabled. Does power button and volume up work (take you to programing screen)?

I had a similar problem and ended up having to start all over by flashing an sbf and working from there. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable then I will be able to offer a solution and you won't have to go to that extreme.

I remember with the Z Ultra Sony made a big deal about writing with a pencil on the screen. Will this be supported?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tft:
the Z2 supports pen/stylus input "glove mode" which allows pretty much any object to be detected by the screen, so i'd pretty much assume the Z3 will be no different.. in fact even the Z1 has this support, the only thing is that on the Z1 sony choosed to disable the option, but it could be enabled with a modification tweak.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
Confirmed. It does work in "glove mode"; just checked with a regular pencil. In that mode, finger touches are detected already if hovering your fingertip about 5 mm above the screen.

Just got my ultra today. I also got 2 cases delivered. Both of these cases neither one of them has a cutout for the charging dock ports. i have the dock and obviously want to use a case that i can use on the dock.

You could try the Nillkin fresh series. I didn't really like the plastic back but what i like is the screen cover and that it has a cutout for the magnetic charging port.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] S.D.Richards:
Unfortunately, just because a case has the cutout, doesn't mean it works. this is the one I've got and while it fits in the DK30 dock (with the bigger inlay), the problem is that the dock has the phone sitting at an angle and I can't get the magnet to "grip".

I tried my best modding the thing to fit, didn't work out. So good luck with yours, please report back if you've been lucky enough to find something that works.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lovehoshi:
After dropping my beautiful phone and getting the corner peeled I decided to look for this exact combo; a case with a charging dock connection cut out that works with a magnetic cable. As you guys already know the charging port flap becomes pretty flimsy after a while and I did not want to risk it breaking.

After much trial and error I found a combination that works.

This cable:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magn...agnetic-USB-cable-charger-for/1708094470.html

Works perfectly with this case:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NILLKIN-Ult...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item1e945842a2

The Nillkin case itself is pretty good but I'm also pretty sure that this cable will work with other cases that have a similar cutout. The magnetic connection from the cable is not that strong but gets the job done.
