[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Hi again.

My last reply was meant to be light hearted I hope I didn't offend.

I went into my display settings and under white balance, put the Red up to 95. Green to 45. Seems to mimic my old phone, HTC One, very well. I'm sure adding some green might help and I imagine people will share their settings over time.

Maybe not perfect but certainly looks better to me :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sango2:
I'm not sure exactly but, I have a i1 DisplayPro which is used to profile monitors. I'm thinking of using that on the phone so I can most likely have the white balance calibrated to 6500K manually as it would tell me where to adjust the RBG respectfully.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KurtHoyle:
WTF?

Are you really comparing the colours produce by a mobile phone, to that of a monitor? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B:
The Google Nexus 5 may have a slightly "yellowish" display in comparison to the Xperia Z3's very cold default color temperature of 10324K (as noted by PhoneArena.com's review) The "real" white point is 6500 Kelvins, and the Nexus 5 is very close to that. (6786K)

I tried to compare a white background between my Mum's Sony Xperia Z3 and my "color-accurate-but-low-gamma" Nexus 5, while tweaking the values using the built-in White Balance utility on the Xperia Z3.

I used the app Display Tester:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.displaytester

After several intensive adjustments, I've settled on either 3 of these configurations: (My favorite is Config B)

Configuration A: (less yellow)

Configuration B: (more yellow, as yellow as Nexus 5)

Configuration C: (in the middle between the above 2 configurations)

The problem? The reds and greens on the Xperia Z3 are still slightly oversaturated, compared to my undersaturated Nexus 5. And a totally black background on the Z3 has a slight reddish tint. This also affects very dark pictures.

But overall I'm pretty [emoji28] happy (and relieved) with the still amazing display of the Xperia Z3.

Any one willing to shed some more light on the matter?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepershades:
Not a professional recommendation but I've settled with 190 (red), 180 (green) and 115 (blue) although I'm keeping an eye on the thread generally ?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiyeon90:
That's because the nexus 5 has a washed out screen due to its low gamma. If you compare the Z3's screen to the m8 for example the saturation will be similar to each other
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
I'm ok with my setting:

Red: 61; Green: 9; Blue: 0
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
If anyone want a bit yellow tint, they should increase both Red and Green to about 1xx.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C850:
Color Space

Z3 can cover 85% Adobe RGB, more than sRGB. If u use a sRGB monitor to compare Z3 color accuracy , it will lead to a wrong result :(

Sr my English not good :crying::crying:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B:
NotebookCheck.net display review of Sony Xperia Z3

Indeed, it's Adobe RGB insted of sRGB like my Nexus 5. NotebookCheck has a very informative and detailed review (like AnandTech's) on the Xperia Z3, and they have some interesting info on its display with its Adobe RGB color gamut. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Sony-Xperia-Z3-Smartphone-Review.127641.0.html

However I need someone more knowledgeable in this stuff to explain the difference between theirs (White Balance Setting 1 and Setting 2), and also compare it with mine (R:177, G:177, B:10)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I liked the 178,162,37 Setting, this seemed about right but I altered it to 141,125,0 to reduce the blue,.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
Setting on my friend UB 6653: 138, 33, 0. And these value are acceptable, not good as my setting/my screen.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hustlervanz:
Can we post a poll here which settings really have the most natural display settings? Just a recommendation though.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinx1127:
Hi Guys,

I'm not sure if this is still related to the topic but I'm just wondering if anyone noticed colour accuracy when you open the camera app. It seems that the colour is not bright as compared to other phone (E.g iphone or samsung galaxy).

But then when you go back to the home page of z3, the color is solid/crisp. I just find the issue during the opening the camera app or when you preview the image.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B:
I'm not sure about that. A poll only works for a limited list of options. For this case, there are FAR too many configurations.

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

I never seem to notice it as I never enabled any of Sony's image enhancing stuff. Perhaps you should check your display settings. There's one setting (other than X-Reality) that promises rich punchy colors.

145. 133. 47. Works for me so far,
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaalad12:
The very fact that there is so many different numbers being posted here that people are happy with just goes to show that there is no perfect setting! In fact if the subject of white balance never came up 99% of people wouldnt have noticed a problem with it out of the box if you ask me! My configuration is different to everyones here and yet it looks fine to my eyes
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
There are 2 points I consider:

- Z3 screen are ununiform: they need different value

- I place my phone next to my UltraSharp monitor with good setting.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Hate to say it but I am changing mine 3 or 4 times a day. I noticed in the first few hours of getting my phone, as did everyone who saw the screen. I can't settle on a good setting because I am not entirely sure the screen can be calibrated correctly.

I do have to sort of agree though, that if there was no white balance setting on the phone, i'd probably learn to either live with the extreme blue, or sell it. Right now i'm leaning towards the latter, especially given that next to an Xperia Z, the Z screen looks better face on.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
Today I have chance to saw more 3pcs of Z3. After all, with 8 pcs, I can say that 2pcs screen are very bluish. If you can, return it!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud402:
gamma control

I tried with the white balance setting, and compared it with iphone6, since it's the best calibrated phone in market. I must say, i'm really disappointed. No matter how I try, the grayscale is always having too much blue in the lighter and darker area and too much red in the middle. I think it can only be accurate if we have a custom kernel to be able to control the gamma and more advanced grayscale calibration.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xerxess:
If you have clue about to know how to notice the device which have screen very bluish let us know, i think hard to us (especially to me) to notice if dont have many device to compare..
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychok9:
Any news? I would be curious to know if the screen can be calibrated with a professional device :good:

I am undecided about purchasing Xperia Z3 (I like do a lot of photos).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
You can alter the balance yourself. Just adjust the r/g/b bias until you're happy. Calibrating the screen isn't going to affect any photos you've already taken though. You could wait and see if the Z3 will support RAW mode as this will avoid you "burning in" a white balance, allowing you to change it later with no loss of quality. Ultimately, though, it's a phone, not a camera so if you're serious about calibration/colour balance perhaps it's not for you.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychok9:
I'm not very good with the colors, I have a visual deficit with the red and green (35%, not so much), but I'd like to have a screen balanced. I have some difficulty in realizing it at the time, and to correct it :)

With Samsung brand, you can fix a Natural profile without wasting time :)

For the same reason, I am considering the Z3 against Note 4 that takes pictures really yellowed apparently (and isn't easy fix them).
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sango2:
Oh sorry, I haven't gotten around to do doing this yet. I will eventually and will report back.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Might be hard as the phone uses a ble led backlight and we have no control over gamma either, which is also off from the standard.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All About That Sony:
Can you please try to test with all the different screen enhancements on/off? (i.e. X-Reality Engine, Super Vivid etc.) I wonder if turning them on/off would sarcastically make the screen more accurate! :p

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BSoD38:
Hello there. I've been using AK for CM11S before, and it was working very well. Since CM11S support is now dropped, I made the switch to CM11 M9. I then flashed AK but had a very interesting but annoying issue : graphics corruption. It seems that if parts of the screen don't get refreshed after a while, it becomes pink pixellated garbage (I can't explain it any better). I've been trying to fiddle with Synapse but to no avail. Does anybody know a workaround or a fix concerning this problem ? If yes, thanks a bunch.

P.S. : I can't take any screenshot of this because when I do it doesn't display any of the aftifacts mentioned above.

I forgot to mention that I am currently using AK v. 43.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerRomtester:
Switch to latest nightly and your problem is gone. Or disable hardware overlays in developer options. You would know that if you followed ak`s thread.
[AT&T LG G2] C410s:
Hi Devs, Members and Guests, how you doing? To be honest I was doing well until my LG G2 cracked on the top just a bit and now I can't pull my notification bar or do any operations on the top of the phone...

I re-created with Paint what happened to the top of my phone:

((check the attachment of "How My Phone Is.jpeg"))

The red and orange is exactly where the crack of the phone is, not that thick, however it's noticeable. The black marked area is where you the phone does not operate (you touch it and it doesn't do anything). The green line is safe area. Also, I'm running CM11 (recommended for any LG G2 users) with TWRP and runs very good.

Now the problem is that I really need my phone fully working again.. It works but I have to do some weird stuff so I can at least text someone. So here I got some questions that you guys can help me out:

1) How much you guys think it is to fix the screen?

2) Is it possible to change the resolution or the display in the phone so it will be displaying the ROM in the working area of the phone? Here is what I mean by that:

((check the attachment of "Question.jpg"))

3) Any other solutions you guys got?

Thanks for all of you who read and those who can reply and help. Have a good day :D
[AT&T LG G2] cougar214:
First off, fixing the phone will cost you, if you do it yourself, around $60-$70 bucks. That is for the LCD+Digitizer+mid body assembly. And that is by far the easiest way to repair the phone. You just switch all your internal parts from your old assembly over to the new assembly and pop your back cover on. Easy breazy. I just did this myself and my phone is now working great. As for your second question about changing the resolution, no. You can change your resolution but it will not "shrink" your screen to the usable portion. Your only option is to replace the LCD and Digitizer.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wifipeter:
My phone displays a lot of versions serial number (ANCJ \ ANCI \ ANCG) cause I do not dare to try another ROM. I was afraid of the phone network signal an error or no, because I was in China to buy European version of the machine. Also ask about all ROM G900H can be common it? If so, can you recommend some elite for my ROM it? I am using the official version, already ROOT. Thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] maccabbeo:
Hi to all,

I just landed at the Android world. The phone I got is a really really Chinese "Huaexl" (at least the name reminding the better known Huawei XL) not including Google Play as defaut app store. Since I did not find a reliable way to get the Google Play app (Google website does not allow to download it) I tried to install Google Play Service which does nothing else but crash.

Google Play has a certain credibility in my opinion. My problem now is that I want to find a "reliable" way to download apps in case there is no reliable way to install it.

At the moment I'm using 1Mobile Market and Aptoide just to download some utility (such as some hardware monitor or QR code scanner and other basic app) but I would never use such stores for example when it comes to install some banking app

So, to make it short:

would you suggest any "reliable" way to install Google Play or any "reliable" alteriative?

would you suggest me to replace the current Android version and istall another one including Google Play by default?

Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

PD: what about replacing Android with Ubuntu Touch?

PD2: according to the hardware monitor apps that I installed, such phone should be an optacore, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM

PD3: dispite the camera options get till 13Mpx mode, the quality of the pictures is quite bad

[General Questions and Answers] maccabbeo:
Ok, now I got your own opinion about it. Thanks a lot, that's a great start!

Is there any other reliable source talking about Android Police. For example any well known online newspaper or something?

Please try to understand my feelings. I want to be straight. Your feedback about your own personal feelings is important for me since I just don't know this world. My dubts will be completely cleaned (well, never be sure 100%) when I could see for example (just a stupid and unreal example) the New York Times telling about Android Police.

I mean, I wish a reliable source may have talked about it. Please tell me if any, I would really really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your understanding and your patience.
[General Questions and Answers] maccabbeo:
Unfortunately Google Play just crashes less than 1 second after launching it. Is there anything I could do?
