[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lopri:
A new Xperia Z Ultra I received is showing a weird symptom. I noticed it on its home screen while trying out wallpapers. I am seeing pixels trembling/twitching along horizontal lines when I scroll screens. Well, I cannot literally see individual pixels so it's more like a bunch of pixels. I saw this first on orange background, and proceeded to check out red, green, and blue wallpapers.

I found it happens only on green so far, and it is especially pronounced when the screen is touched or scrolled horizontally. But it is seen on other colors that need more green than red/blue, such as orange and yellow. I do not see the same problem when the screen is blue or red. I was able to capture this problem on green on a camera below.

The horizontal lines probably indicate where the light bulbs sit under the panel. But I am not an expert on display tech so I decided to ask whether this is something that can be "fixed" on my end before I submit an RMA request.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mangoniter:
So my new Xperia Z Ultra arrived yesterday and I have to say it's a great device. The huge screen is just amazing. :D

Right now I'm trying to figure out which ROM/kernel combination would work best (although I might just wait until the Lollipop port arrives) and if I need one of these docking stations for charging. Does anybody have any experience with these? Are they actually useful?

Also can anybody recommend me a good slim flip case (book format) which can be transformed into a stand? I already checked out the accessory section and searched at Amazon but I haven't found anything that conviced me.

Thanks for your help!

Why is it Cheaper? is it because of defective screens?

Hi guys,

Having read all the relevant threads here about z ultra, is decided to search for additional info b4 buying this phone, i read a few articles in xperiablogDOTnet titled "BBC’s Watchdog investigates Xperia Z1 cracking screen issue; Sony responds"

and in TalkDOTSonymobileDOTCom about "z ultra screen so fragile"

i am not convinced yet about buying Z ultra. b'coz with comparatively low specs of CPU, GPU and chipset Sony xperia z and xperia T2 Ultra are priced above Z ultra,.

Z Ultra has bigger and Full HD screen where as its HD screen in T2 ultra. 2gb ram vs 1gb ram, And Snapdragon 800 vs Snapdragon 400 processor. Z ultra is clearly the winner.

But that begs the question:WHY IS IT CHEAPER?

Am i missing any details here? if so kindly point it out .so that i may go ahead and buy this beauty for myself.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abdel12345:
It's cheaper because no one wanted a humongous phone at the time it released so it didn't sell. Now they lowered the price a lot to try and sell them. Plus it's about a year old now. I have also seen things about it cracking but most people said having any kind if case on it helps so it won't bend as easy in the pocket since it's so big. Pretty much just take care of it and don't be stupid and you'll be fine. I'd get it from Sony for 300 and pay the extra 60 for the warranty. It covers any accidental damage like drops or cracks so it's worth it.

I've dropped mine 2 ZUs from my truck 4 times now on to concrete. only real damage is the last time I split the HD plastic on the top frame. The first drop was unprotected the others have been in flip/book covers.

Hey guys I got my ultra on Wednesday and let me say I love it. It is by far the best Android device I used,except for the camera. I love the interface,clean not cluttered look it has. It has a apple quality to it. Can't wait to dive in this even more. :D

I personally don't think I'll get a extended battery with this beautifully designed device but I'll leave this here for anyone who may be looking for one but don't want the complete bulk of the Zerolemon .. This one doesn't look to be quite as big :thumbup::D:rolleyes: cheerz

And a different back plate which looks to be better for grip and maybe a little protection .. Is a Tpu case made for this battery style I believe http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PIBNMEM/ref=pd_aw_sims_3?pi=AC_SY230_QL60

Well I'm recently looking for reviews for this battery cover too. I'm very curious about the thickness of it since it seems the company did select a good angle to kind of make up a illusion of a slim design. And no case for the phone that is having this cover on, that's another problem
[G3 Accessories] shayneflashindaily:
True. I'm curious about the same things .....

I ordered mine yesterday from Hyperion website for $24.99 (free shipping, no tax; $4.99 on Amazon). When I get it I will upload some pictures. Stock battery was good in G2, but G3 display is the biggest hog for me.
[G3 Accessories] czaplin:
Received a battery today. I uploaded 3 pics just to show it to the public.

I also measured weight of the phone:

+ without battery: 114g

+ with OEM: 162g

+ with Hyperion: 208g

Now I'm going to measure battery life for a few next days.

I put 2 dimes and 1 nickel to show an extra thickness. Check at home :)

I'm a heavy user and after one day I can say that this battery is outstanding. Normally I had to charge my phone at least once during the day. With Hyperion I used only 1/3 of juice. It compensate an extra bulk :)

I don't use NFC, so lack of it is not a problem for me.
[G3 Accessories] badrsj:
Do they have an extended battery case like they usually do.
[G3 Accessories] gamikzone:
Sweet review, I bought mine a few days ago can't wait to try it when it gets here
[G3 Accessories] TheNetwork:
I don't really mind how thick or heavy my phone is as long as it's not ridiculous (like 5 pounds or an inch thick or more) so I got the zerolemon battery. I can't imagine this really saves THAT much space. But then again, with double the stock capacity, it should be useful in either case.
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
Can you put pictures of it on the phone?
[G3 Accessories] EmptySD:
So no reviews after few days of use? I see that this one is currently unavailable. Phone doesn't look that big with this cover.

Anyone else tried this battery?

They have interesting cases but butteries are out of stock even at they website:

This battery is awesome for its price. Extra bulk is not a problem.

[G3 Accessories] shayneflashindaily:
Also that 7500mah battery I have bought from them before with my old note i717 and it didn't seem to last as long as it should ... I believe they aren't real 7500mah batteries .. Just my opinion... if you are going to buy a extended battery to should spend the money for the good ones :thumbup::D:beer:

2SHAYNEZ
[G3 Accessories] Tunisian dude:
Yes you are right i also doubt that the battery had 7500mAh but 6000mAh for sure. Because it looks exactly the same like the other 6000mAh batteryd. The mugen is interesting but there is no silicon or tpu case for them available. Whit the 6000mAh battery you can at least mount a bumper for screen and edges protection.

But i m eager to read you're review on the mugen battery. :D
[G3 Accessories] shayneflashindaily:
Nice I didn't think you could pull off putting anything on the Hyperion.. Impressive.... Yeah either me or one of the other guys who got sent a free mugen in that other thread will do a review :).. I've already owned a mugen before and it was absolutely amazing on my old galaxy mega ...Cheerz :thumbup::D:beer:

Can you please take some pictures of the phone from different angles?

Yes, i saw that everywhere are out of stock. I checked they website many times and without luck. Any ide where can be found? And whats the price?

Or do you have any link so i can check?

Didn't helped for now but That review that you need to do will help for sure. Just be sure that there are enough images, i really care how does my phone look. :)
[G3 Accessories] shayneflashindaily:
Sorry I didn't help you this time ;) but if esimon doesn't do a review of the mugen I will.. But I think him and another guy has that under control. I will be doing one for other sites hopefully. Also I had a conversation with mugen about how the att d850 version uses PMA technology to wirelessly charge so we will see what happens .... Thanks homie for your input

Help!

After installing an application on my Cingular 8125 today, the phone rebooted but now displays the error message: "Your phone is running low on free storage space. Delete old or unused items to create more space."

The problem is that I now am unable even to connect to my PC or to get an interface up to delete old or unused items.

I'd really, really, really like to avoid having to hard reset and flush the data in the phone.

Is there any way to force my way into memory, either on the phone or through my PC, or with a utility, so I can free up some space? Or at least back up the ROM before I kill it?

Thanks!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrPresident:
I am having this problem right now. Anyone know how to fix this without a hard reset?

If you have SPB pocket plus installed with the safe mode option enabled then you can boot into safe mode by resetting device, resetting again as soon as the error appears and then holding enter as the device boots up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baurblades43:
While just browsing the web looking for new random leaks on the Nexus 6, I noticed that pretty much NO nexus device has a rounded to the nearest whole number display. Even the newest Nexus device is 5.96".

Anyone know why google does this? Is it easier to make a 5.96" than a 6"? Cheaper? I wouldn't think by much. Its just weird is all.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
for one, i think it's odd to be looking around for new "leaks", when we basically know just about everything about the phone so far, aside from a couple details.

As for display size... not sure anybody knows.... and neither Google, nor their manufacturing partners, are the only ones doing it. iPhone 6 and 6+ are 4.7 and 5.5" respectively. The Note 4 is 5.7. The Moto X went from 4.7" last year to 5.2" this year.

If i had to guess.... it's simply because companies want to have a broader range of screen sizes. I'm sure they could have rounded up, even wording wise, with the Nexus 6, since it's so godawful close to 6"... but wording can also cast an impression on how people feel about the size of a device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvsk69:
Lol , you didn't answer his question. [emoji3]
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slidesear:
Maybe adding the .04" to the display would not allow it to stay at 16 x 9.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusHexus:
Yeah its probably to keep the aspect ratio 16:9, and some of the screen is hidden under the bezels. Also maybe its to do with the screens manufacturing?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnkingx:
just a naming convention

i bet if they used the naming convention u are talking of, someone else would complain, it doesn't really change the product those small digits. there is really no need for a physical leak of the device since the specs are now widely known. i think these days they leak this information intentionally (another conspiracy theory i guess) . . .. . . . to ram up sales (basic economics) coz it kinda creates some hype . . . .. . ..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yash296:
For the16:9 aspect ratio.

And calling it the Nexus 5.96 would be rather dumb.

Ok, I downloaded the hboot from MEGA link in THIS thread.

The hboot is for versoin 1.26.720.X in hboot section so i guess it is for M8Sd Indians.

I found the red text at 0x82350 - 0x823F0 .

I did not know what exactly to do so i just selected the text, deleted it and saved it.

Now two files are created hboot and hboot.bak , presumably hboot.bak is the original 4MB file and new hboot is 3.99MB file.

Here is the new HBOOT of 3.99MB

I am S-OFF and i want to test it out but i fear it may brick my device since there is a difference in file size and mainly because i dont know what I did was correct :p

So can any brave soul from India please test it out :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
First off I'm in the GTA of Southern Ontario. I've used/tested tons of phones from the Captivate up to the Note4 on different carriers from London to Ottawa.

I've done posts before too but like to see the change over time and I have to admit the major carriers here have expanded quite well over the past few years and the performance has been incredible.

As well, it is true that the phone itself and it's hardware really affects what kind of DL speeds you will get.

I'm mostly on Rogers in the Toronto area and have got some amazing speeds (on certain towers). There really is a massive difference from area to area and tower to tower.

I could give you the top ten towers that easily get over 100+ mbps and probably would do 250+ once the carriers activate the latest cat6 LTE.

******

So post some of your experiences and screenshots of speed tests. What carrier and general area if wanted. I use apps that tell me the exact tower I'm connected to. Your signal level too if wanted.

All of my crazy high tests are (obviously full signal bar connection) but I check actual number level and try to be between - 60 and - 77 dBm. Keep in mind most phones hit 4 bars at - 85 (lower the better.. - 50 being perfect) although the Note 4 uses a slightly different scale.

Here are a few tests I did recently on a couple (really good) towers around me.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
FYI.. I find the Ookla Speedtest.net app is the best but keep in mind that top performance changes from server to server and time of day.. As well, be aware that when blazing over 100+ mbps you will use up 115+ mB's per test!

Here are the better more consistent servers I use for top tests.

For Toronto - Start and Nexicom seem to be best.

Montreal has several good ones but Fibrenoire is typically amazing.

Speedtest.net in Washington used to be poor.. Strange as it's their testing app and would figure it would be tops but now is much better. I can get 100+ often.

Georgian college in Barrie is usually good as is TowerStream in New York.

Bell/North Bay, Lightspeed/Canton, TimeWarner/Syracuse and University of Flint all can go 100+ too but are sometimes much lower at points during the day.
