There is no ODIN .tar file for NJ1, at&t never released one. It was just an OTA update which was pointless because it didn't make anything better from the previous NE4 firmware. Have you tried doing factory data reset?

Hello,

I just noticed that when i tilt the screen the bottom will slowly tint, espeicially when the colour white is displayed. White will turn into a smudgy grey/yellow. The top half of the screen is still unchanged.

Can anybody relate? This is slightly annoying.

Regards

Hi,

Same here.

This displaycolor changed extremly like the position to look at it.

So its normal. For this price not acceptable in my mind.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] pokjat:
Mine is okay whichever side i tilt it
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] rodi11:
Hi,

on my SGP611, I can also clearly notice that. I find it extremely annoying, because it's the worst when I'm looking orthogonal onto the screen. The lower half of the display (in portrait mode) tends to be a little gray/yellow tinted. This is mostly visible when reading or browsing the web, when you have a white or light gray background. On colored image it's not that much visible, would be ok for me. Also the poor viewing angles wouldn't bother me too much, if at least the color/white reproduction would be homogeneous across the whole display, when looking directly orthogonal at it. But it even fails on that. When I scroll a text page on white background from top to bottom, it looks ok at the top of the screen and then, as I scroll down it turns yellow more and more. Although, if I am tilting the tablet back a little, so that I am looking mostly from the front, the effect is less noticeable. But that is not the preferred way to hold that tab for me. I have mine for several days now and it really annoys me that much....I can't believe that wasn't mentioned in any of the reviews or in the forums before. Especially on a high priced device like this. I was already starting to believe that I've gone crazy.... 8) So I'm very glad you pointed that out. I am probably returning that thing, I've bought it for mainly reading and surfing the web, but It just hurts my eyes too much. That's a shame, as all other aspects of the device are really great and almost perfect. Maybe it's just some devices that are having the issue but the ones that I have looked at in two other stores tend to have the sames issue.

Regards,

rodi
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] MasterTRL:
No Problem here. I have the 16GB wifi version. No matter how i tilt the device, white remains white. Of course it gets darker the more i tilt, but no yellow or any other color is noticable at all. Maybe that means that you have defective devices and should contact your reseller about an exchange. As rodi has already mentione, no rewiew mentioned this so far, which backs up my theory of you having just bad luck.

Cheers

Chris
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Fleischmann:
Glad to hear, that I'm not the only one with this problem and also that some of you don't have it. I will try to contact sony support next week.

Apart from the screen issue this thing is just perfect.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] MarvelousOne35:
I just received my sgp612 and have the same issue. Thought my eyes were deceiving me but yes even in settings it's noticeable at the bottom half of the screen. It is annoying. :( I had a similar problem on my galaxy tab 3 8.0. I returned it back to amazon and got a replacement only to find out it had the same problem. Needless to say I returned that one also because it drove me crazy. Shame this has the same effect because I really want to keep this tablet.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] diverblue:
This was the first thing I noticed after powering on the device this morning, instantly visible smudge along the bottom half of the display. This is not something I could live with so I'll likely return for another unit and try my luck...

Does anyone believe this yellow tint could be a result of glue between the LCD and glass? I know this issue was reported on various iPhone/ipad models, the Oppo Fond 7a and the Oneplus One. In all cases it was glue that was blamed. Has anyone noticed a drop in yellow with time or does anyone have a device without yellow tint?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] diverblue:
Is there any way to add a poll to this thread? I'd be interested to see how many people (if any) have a tint free display...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] MarvelousOne35:
I would also be interested in knowing this. I will be returning mine which is a bummer because I really like this tablet. I can't keep it knowing the yellow tint is there esp. after paying a premium price.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] diverblue:
Yea same here, I'll be calling the retailer next week to arrange a refund. I popped into my local electrical store yesterday to test one of the display models and it also had yellow tint. I think my £375 would be better spent elsewhere! Question is what alternative do I go for...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] MarvelousOne35:
Sad thing is my Sony Scr-28 white cover will be arriving today :(. Gonna be a tough decision on what to buy because outside of the yellow tint issue this is a fantastic tablet.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] diverblue:
Yea I have the black style cover, I'll porbably just shift it on ebay.

I agree that, bar the dispaly, this is an exceptionally nice piece of kit. Though, to be honest there are more display issues than jsut the yellow tint which are giving me some grief. The display's contrast drops quickly at shallow viewing angles and there is a very noticable rainbow effect when viewing the display off centre too. I have used several Sony devices in the past and every time is this display which I like the least. Also the lack of a bootloader exploit for root is frustrating, I'm starting to notice how much I relied on adbock and the xposed framework.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about display technology to know exactly what is causing this yellow tint but I have heard of uncurred glue being the blame for other devices with similar faults. I would love to find out the reason!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Jiyeon90:
I don't have any yellow tint, overall I like the screen, the whites are excellent.

Return it
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] diverblue:
Sounds like there is some light at the end of the tunnel...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] delsoo:
yellow tint issue still exist on sony new product? i have a xperia zl . i thought sony has solved this issue for the new phone.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] diverblue:
I just got my replacement Z3TC from John Lewis and the yellow tint is still visible along the bottom edge. I think I'll be returning this one for a refund instead of another replacement.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] ^.^:
Hi.

I just got my SGP611 and didn't notice any yellow tint.

Can someone post picture for reference?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Fleischmann:
Photo

Today I had time to make a photo of the screen. I let it display a comic strip, because it was easier to notice than with a plain white test image. When you compare the white of the bottom box with the one of the top box you can easily see the difference. I also cut out a small bit from the top and bottom and put it side by side.

Photo can be found here:

View attachment 3115091

For me it's very annyoing but I will keep the tablet because there is currently no alternative in the 8" tablet segment. Maybe we should contact sony about the issue?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] ^.^:
I wouldn't say it's very easy to notice the difference. First I didn't even understand where it was.

It's more like a faint tint.

Maybe mine also have it then, will check later and update after I've checked it more thoroughly

This tablet is really amazing, I love it much more than the Z2 tablet.

I checked now as well on a comic strip, I guess there's some slight less white on the bottom of the tablet (right side when in landscape) but it's so subtle so it's really hard to notice on anything other than pure white.

I guess some screens have a stronger tint than others. I clearly remember Z1 had this issue and for my first Z1 it was pretty strong. My Z Ultra didn't have a noticeable amount, same with Z2, my Z3 seems fine as well.

But there's nothing to do about it, all phones have it. I've been with Samsung up to Note 3 and all my phones from them had yellow tint.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] BPinard:
No issues at all with my device.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] roanmy:
I have this problem on my Z2, so annoying... Weird that this seems to be a "Sony" issue?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] FlacciD_SpuD:
Same for me on two devices. I ordered the black and the white version. This is unacceptable. Most obvious when you're in the settings menu with horizontal orientation. The right third of the screen is like yellow/grey instead of white.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] rodi11:
I returned the first device which had the issue and now I got another device from a different store that shows exactly the same issue. I guess it's just normal then. Gotta return that too. I think it's caused by the way the tablet is built. The backlight seems to be coming only from the top edge. You can clearly notice that near to the top edge the backlight is a little bit brighter and near the bottom edge it's a little bit dimmer. Surprisingly most people do not notice it at all or aren't bothered that much by it. For me it's just way to distracting.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Jiyeon90:
I had to check several times to notice that on white backgrounds the bottom is slightly less white than top, I have been using this tablet a lot and never noticed it before so for me this isn't an issue.

[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
That thread you linked is your last best hope.

If it doesn't work, you're likely doomed.

You could try flashing whatever version you were on previously with fastboot/mfastboot. Not 5.0, cause that doesn't exist. Whatever last official version you were on. See the complete moto X guide sticky in general for help on "returning to stock".

But what you've done is a well known guaranteed brick. Read read read.... Then do.... In the future.

Good luck!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] athensmatt:
Hi all,

My first post after reading for a long time.

(Quick question)

Im wondering if anyone has or knows if its not possible to connect an AP or a wifi router to the Turbo through using the USB port?

(Long version)

My family has a condo at the beach and previously to owning my Turbo I used FoxFi full version to broadcast a wifi network for Netflix, my iPad, the Wife's iPad, etc. While not all at once this worked pretty well and saved the expense of purchasing access to the building wifi.

As you all know Foxfi wont work on the Turbo. But supposedly it still works via tether through the usb port. I work in IT so I was thinking, why not connect a driverless OTG so I could patch that to an AP or a older Netgear router that I have. Was thinking I would just plug the patch from the OTG to the "internet" port on the router and let everything connect to that.

While I know this is not a desireable solution, its one that would work for my one situation until someone figures out how to root the Turbo.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] IAreFlugruger:
I'm not so sure if that would work but I know PdaNet/foxfi has a feature that turns your laptop into a hotspot. I've tried using it and it's rather hit or miss but I think that's because of my laptop. It would atleast be worth a shot. It's called "wifi share" and can be found in the menu that you use to connect to your phone on your laptop.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] athensmatt:
Interesting. My theory was more like use a USB to Micro usb adapter to plug into a driverless USB to ethernet adapter. Then plug a patch cable from that into the "internet" port of a home wifi router. After that turn on FoxFi and use it via the USB tethering option.

Again I understand this is not a portable option, nor as simple as turning your phone into an AP at the click of a button. But for my next beach trip this would be pretty handy.

Before I buy the ethernet adapter, does anyone know if the USB tether to the router idea would work?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CoreyWillWhat:
From what I know for any kind of internet sharing apps such as foxfi, you need the app or program on both the turbo and the receiving device. Those types of apps dont actually share internet to the device directly but through the connected apps. Think of it like cable in your house. You need the modem or receiver to translate the signal to watch it in your house. I would love this to work but I don't think it will.

[Google Chromecast] mouse100:
I'm thinking about buying a Chromecast since I bought a nexus 6 and I need to mirror my smartphone screen.

I have dchp disabled on my router and every network device has a static IP address.

Is it possible to assign a static IP address to Chromecast?

{Nexus 6 - Tapatalk}
[Google Chromecast] rbeavers:
I use Fing app it shows all addresses on network. I don't thing mine have ever changed. Maybe lock ip to mac address in router?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I don't know as I have never tried but usually manually adding a network will allow you to set a static IP.

Not sure if the CCast has manual setup and I'm not home to check.

I am going to assume you shut off DHCP as a security measure which isn't really effective since you can just manually set IP for most devices if you already have the password.

Better is to use MAC Address filtering and only allow approved MAC Addresses on the WiFi.

To keep IPs static to identify devices it is better to set DHCP reservations instead and if you want extra security via DHCP to limit the IP range to just enough to account for every reservation you have set.

The MAC Filter will stop any other devices from connecting and getting any IP of a unit that might be disconnected at the time of connection.
[Google Chromecast] atomomega:
I just set static IPs for my devices at the router. Maybe you can try that too cause as far as I've seen, you can't mess with the CCast networking settings.
[Google Chromecast] mouse100:
My router hasn't the setting to set a static IP address through a Mac address. Do you think there is no way to connect my phone to a Chromecast?

{Nexus 6 - Tapatalk}
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
It's called DHCP reservation on most routers. Static IP is nothing more than making sure the device (Mac Address) gets the same IP each time it connects which is essentially the same as a static IP.

Only difference is that the Router determines what IP you don't set it on the device itself.

But you do have to have the DHCP server running for it to work.

And until it is turned on you might not see any setting for DHCP reservation or IP assignment since you told the router not to assign any IPs by shutting off the DHCP server built into the router.
[Google Chromecast] mouse100:
Unfortunately I haven't the option you are speaking about in my modem/router. So today Chromecast arrived but I wasn't able to connect it. I'm doing an RMA to Amazon :( I don't understand why Google didn't introduce this function.

{Nexus 6 - Tapatalk}
[Google Chromecast] narse:
Why don't you just enable DHCP? If you are worried about leaving it on you could turn it off after. You would just need to turn it on when you rebooted the Chromecast. Or you could see if another device on your network supports up allocation by Mac address. Another idea would be to setup a dhcp range with only one address? Just some ideas, seems silly to RMA for no reason.
[Google Chromecast] Kyonz:
Worst to worse you could just run a DHCP server on your PC or something (assuming you have one) and have your chromecast get an IP from that?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Mouse what I'm saying is if you don't enable DHCP then the options to configure them will not appear..

It's possible that if you have one of those ISP provided Modem/Routers that you do not have access to the settings you need but more likely is it is labeled something obscure or has a Security level setting that doesn't suggest what level you need without looking in the Manual.

If neither is true then what you really should do is go out and get yourself a proper wireless router and put the modem into Bridge mode.

But there is no need or excuse to have DHCP turned off on a router it doesn't add any security protection as anyone can figure out what IP to use to get connected and it only complicates connecting new devices to the network.
[Google Chromecast] mouse100:
It's not a security motivation. I have too many devices and I need to assign each of them a particular "IP" also because I need to reach them outside my intranet through a ddns service. For instance I have 2 IP cams, a NAS and other 2 routers connected to the main router and no one give me the ability to set a particular IP through a Mac address since they are the same brand (belkin).

{Nexus 6 - Tapatalk}
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Well you can have up to 253 devices attached to a router with DHCP.

What model Router do you have?
[Google Chromecast] narse:
Also, you can use one part of the subnet for the dhcp range, and one part for manually configured devices. That would allow you to have dhcp available and keep all the devices that need static addresses configured how they already are.
[Google Chromecast] Kyonz:
You can have closer to 16,777,213 devices attached to a router with DHCP (assuming you're happy to use the class A private space) - although this would be highly impractical obviously :)
[Google Chromecast] mouse100:
Belkin F7D2401.

[MENTION=2248970]narse[/MENTION] how can I do?

{Nexus 6 - Tapatalk}
[Google Chromecast] narse:
On broadband routers the default DHCP setting is often to allocate IP addresses from the whole internal range (e.g. all of 192.168.0.0/24, from 192.168.0.1 through to 192.168.0.254). However you should be able to change the settings and set the scope yourself by setting a beginning and end address to use for DHCP. For example, if your existing devices that already have static addresses are 192.168.0.1 through to 192.168.0.10; then you could define a small range (e.g. 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.110) which will be used for DHCP. This will mean that they will all work and be able to speak to each other.

Let us know how you get on.
