Its a common issue. But it shouldnt be like that. You should get a replacement
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truestark:
Dude this isnt severe. Ive seen enough amoled displays having worse tints and stripes. Yours is much better than them. If I was you, I wouldnt settle for this. Replace it or get a refund. I have severe ocd about my phone. I need it to be perfect. Luckily the S6 that I have has a very good display. A perfect one. Get a replacement asap. This isnt something normal.

I took my phone back to the Samsung store and got it replaced by the manager there. The screen looked fine when i first looked at it in store, but soon after taking it home i realised that this second unit has a yellowish tint on the right side of the screen. Going back tomorrow for another replacement.... SIGH!!!!!

Hi

Do you think my phone has the same back lighting problem or tint? been ocd for a while now since I got it yesterday.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark5tar:
Looks all right to me, but then again we all perceive things differently. My current unit is not perfect, there's still a green/blue tint to it, but it's tolerable. If you cannot tolerate it, then keep exchanging until you find one that you can tolerate with. Keep in mind though that you won't find a unit with 100% even colour hue; it's the limitation with AMOLED displays. All the best!

Light bars on black wallpaper

I have the following issue on black wallpapers.On top and bottom there is a lighter bar.This appears only after applying the wallpaper.Viewing them with Quickpick there are no bars.Same in Nova and TW after applying it.Tried attaching a screen but the bars are not captured.What could it be,a ROM issue,a low DPI?I have the DPI set to low.Also on brighter pics you can't see the bars ,after applying which makes sense.

White uniformity - Is this the jelly effect and is it normal?

I got a really good deal on a used Tab S6 from Amazon and I love the tablet but there is weird tinting thing happening on white screens.

When viewed slightly off-axis the tint goes blue.

Makes me nuts when reading NY TImes and edges of white screen are tinted blue.

The effect changes when viewed at different angles and seen without screen protector. It is tough to photograph but hopefully you can see what I see.

Ignore the moire in the middle of the first shot - that's a screen protector... Look at extreme edges of screen.

3. Flash the boot.img using flashtool [ Here is how to flash a boot.img/kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963961 (I didnt do the last step though)]

4. Download SuperSU flashable zip from http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

5. Boot into TWRP [vol - switch on displaying sony logo]

I have an unlocked boot-loader, and Lollipop stock unrooted, according to the guide, whenever i flash the kernel tab, it's not showing the boot.img file. Where do I put this file am not able to access it. Help me.

Also, what do you mean by "after uploading LP stock kernel.sin"

and where do i copy the boot.img ?

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] getvaisakh:
have you checked the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963961 ?

Try downloading the boot.img from the link provided and keep it some where you can identify, then open flashtool, in fastboot mode, click flash kernel (by DooMLoRD). A new window will appear, check on the right side bottom, you will see what type of file, default:*.sin, change that to *.img, and you will be able to see the boot.img file.

Nah, I meant if you wish to have the flashable kernel zip, you have to upload your kernel.sin on the site.Nothing to worry about it.

Copy it to somewhere you can identify and quickly select.

hope this helped. There are many such threads, not only for z1c but also for other sony models. You might get some idea. I am not a dev so i can only understand a little.

Btw,I already did this. But during boot, there was no green led light :(

I downloaded the img file and flashed via adb fastboot. Success. But when I restarted the device, there was no vibration or led indication like there was no recovery. So I tried the above method and worked.

thank you.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] getvaisakh:
Happy to hear that.. :)

I guess the same method works with updated version of xz recovery.. You might want to try that. For me, relocking the bootloader was worth sacrificing flashing custom firmware. For 270, if you want to have root with BL locked, you need to flash prerooted 270 zip(either make one or download from xda) and following the xzdual recovery instructions.

Actually I have the stock ftf, so whenever I go wrong I flash the ftf choosing only the kernal..

Sorry to hear that. I heard the same issue on users having Xposed in LP.. Check on that thread you might get some info.. I didnt have any problem.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] thedicemaster:
not at all.

I've heard the occasional "your phone is big" comment from friends and family, but nothing serious.

and people who buy phones this big don't buy it as a phone, but as a pocket-tablet with phone functionality.

and if anyone questioned whether it would fit (comfortably) in a pocket there's a simple answer: belt clip.

I usually carry my phone in a horizontal "pouch" with belt clip(PDAir makes some good ones), or use an otterbox defender case with the included belt clip.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grifone:
hi guys

i am new to this so apprecaite your help.have been using my xda exec for about a firthinte brilliantly.however since yesterday ,when i plug the usb cable to pda nothing is happening,fone is not being recognized by pc.i tried different cables and diferent pc's to no avail.the pda does not even charge via usb cable.

however it charges normally via wall charger.

do you think I bust the connector,could it be fixed?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TehPenguin:
A couple of questions:

What ROM are you using?

What version of Windows is your main computer running?

Has ANYTHING changed between it working and it not? (Automatic updates, new software installed, installed drivers for a new USB device, etc)

Does the PDA recognise that it is charging/has external power?

Can you borrow a different cable\somebody else's computer to test it on?

Just as a test, try going into your settings, in the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try ticking\unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"

If the cable is broken, best thing to do is to buy a new one - its probably not worth the money to repair it (try looking on EBay - any mini-usb cable SHOULD suit the Universal)

(ps. are you sure you should be posting in here? I think you probably should have put it into the main section for Universals)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grifone:
hi TehPenguin

thx for your reply

as i said before i am a total newbie and so dont know were to check wot ROM i am using.from where can i check.the fone come with WM6 installed(it does not have video calling however)

i am runnig windows xp sp2 on my pc.

when i plug in wall charger ,pda recognizes it

no mew software were installed from the time it was working(after that i installed a couple of spb programmes via bluetooth)

i tried my cable on my fiends foned and it worked,i tried my fone with my friends cable and it didnt work,that is why i am thinking it is something to do with my mini usb connector.

can some admin move this post to appropriate section or do i repost there again?

tnx again
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TehPenguin:
Okay, Windows XP is a good start - and its nice to see that you did some test to figure out where exactly the bug is

I find it unusual that your phone came with WM6 already on it - unless it was second hand... You can check your windows version by going into the settings, under the "System" tab and opening "About", at the top of this it should have "Windows Mobile(R) 6 Professional" or something like that

Here are some more things to try:

Have the phone off and disconnected, then plug in the cable (this seems to work for me if I have problems)

Go into your settings, under the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"

I think that the second one is most likely the way to fix it. Also what version of ActiveSync are you running (At the top of ActiveSync there is a "Help" menu, select the "About Microsoft ActiveSync" - this should give you version info). If the activesync is anything less than version 4.5 - look for an update on Microsoft's website

And one last thing - no offence, but - one thing I don't like is people using "IM spk" for forums. I understand if you aren't fluent in English but please try...

Enjoy!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grifone:
TehPenguin

thanks again for your help.

first I would like to say that i do not know what you mean by IM spk ?sorry if I broke any rules

the phone is not new,i bought it off e-bay

I am running activesync 4.5 on my pc which if i am not mistaken is the latest version available.

I will check about what version i have later,as I dont have phone with me currently,but what I can say is the version i have does not support video calling,and it does not have the Phone pad facility in the entering text options.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TehPenguin:
No harm done with the "IM spk" (its just one of the things I don't like - I'm sure you read my post on the Ultimate ROM)

Did you try any of my other suggestions?

Also, you may wish to upgrade your Universal to a new ROM (I believe that Ivan is uploading one as I type) or go to an official WM5 ROM from a manufacturer - it is possible that the ROM you are using is defective...

That's for a Wallaby. The Uni has a USB socket soldered straight to it's mobo. It depends if the damage has ripped any tracks from the mobo. It may be a straight solder replacement, or you may need to follow the tracks slightly to solder further along them. I'm sure a competent solderer would be able to help if you showed them it. Or upload a picture of the damage and we can all have a look :)
