[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] androFRUST:
hi there,

By entering the service menu by key-ing in *#*#7378423#*#* you can access all the hardware information. Based on all the blogs and forums, seems like there is no true winner between the innolux or truly display. Just one may have an edge over the other. Apparantly the innolux has better viewing angles but are a little washed out vis a vis truly. but like u said, just a little tinkering at the white balance ought to do the trick..

I feel you man. But i think it boils down to the mediatek processor. I was intially using the Ulefone be touch 2 which uses the same processor. Then i realised it wasnt the hardware-to-price ratio wins all. Its the software support!

i am banking on sony's software team to fix any issues. I can say for sure that the c5 ultra is much more stable than that piece of crap ulefone..!

As for the hangs and crashes, i only experience a severe drop in frame rate when playing WoT Blitz at 15%+ battery and the occasional crash when watching youtube!!!. really hope 5.1/6.0 can address all these issues ASAP.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
I too used that code before but I can't find that screen details in the service menu. Many times.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

Many Chinese phone maker uses the same processor. Which, doesn't sound like a good thing.. And some even couple it with 3gb of ram.. Which I can't see a point either..
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] sarasein:
Sony only have three 6 inch phones. ZU, TU and C5U. For C5U is better than the ZU eventhough ZU better processor. Its screen, design, sound, and camera best of the trio. I believe this better than my previous Asus Zenfone 6. The problem for C5U is the software not getting the updated yet and it seems like the software development still in beta mode.

In my country, Sony is quite well known and the ZU and TU still have good market demand.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] androFRUST:
once in the service menu > Service tests > firmware version at the bottom

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

totally agree with you.. i contacted sony and they said that the 5.1 update is yet to be announced even internally while the z, m, and t series are likely to get it by next month apparently.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kanej2006:
Thanks for the response. I got to the service menu, however, there was no option to view hardware, strange...

As of now, battery life is fantastic and standby is even better than my old Xperia Z3!
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
Yes it's there. Select service test, them scroll all the way down and select firmware version. I just found that out yesterday.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kanej2006:
Found it, thanks! The screen I have is ''Innolux'' according to the information given in the service menu...
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
Your screen don't flicker just before playing a video? Sorry I know asked this many times but no one other than me seems to have this issue but the 3 that I had handled have this problem....
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kanej2006:
Not yet experienced this issue. Does it flicker with ANY video player? In my case I'm using MX Video Player Pro.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
I have not use the pro version. Mx does not give me this problem cos it doesn't load preview video. Try in stock album or video app. Whenever it auto loads a preview, it flashes quickly for 2-3 time before video is played. For YouTube, whenever u press a video, same bug happen before the video is played. Same as for Facebook when it auto load play video during wifi. I try to see if I record this problem.

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Nope.. It happens but doesn't show up on recordings.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] androFRUST:
so far no problems on videos for me.. youtube is fine, reccorded videos are fine.. only problem is the sudden crashes after watching youtube for awhile which is annoying!
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
I mean I can't record the flickering on video, it happens but not captured on my other phone so I can show what's really happening.

I have no crashing on YouTube but Chrome freezing/crashing is almost a everyday affair. :/
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] sarasein:
Have you how many apps running in backround? Also check power management whether you set to lower performances to save battery?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] androFRUST:
after running the software repair from sony.. the phone is crazy good.. so far no crashes yet after a day. The battery is much better! 80% after 18 hours with light use (stamina mode on). any of u facing problems should try doing it..
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] tishkoff:
And what about software repair from Sony you talk? Can you give us a link?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] androFRUST:
here is the reply i got from them

In regards to your query, it could be a software issue, when watching videos in Youtube crash, we can advise you to clear data of the app by going Settings > Apps > All apps > Youtube > Force stop > Ok > clear cache and clear data and restart the phone. As for display yellowish, we would suggest that you try to perform a repair of the software using PC Companion. If the issue is related to a problem with your software this will be repaired and your handset will work as intended. To do this, you will need to install PC Companion from the Sony Xperia website. Please follow the steps below to do this:

1. Go to www.sonymobile.com

2. Select Support

3. Choose your handset from the drop down list

4. Select "View All Software Updates"

5. Download for PC

6. Check the requirements and then "Download PC Companion"

To then perform a repair on your handsets software, please follow the steps below:

1. Open PC Companion

2. Start 'Support Zone'

3. Select Phone Software Updates

4. At this point a pop up will appear on screen asking you to connect your handset while powered on, as the software repair needs the handset to be switched off please ignore these connection instructions and click on the blue link which states "Repair Phone”

5. Some on screen steps will now appear for you to follow. Please also connect the handset when you are prompted to do so.

6. When you are asked to connect the handset (still with the phone powered off) please press and hold the key stated on screen for 30 seconds before connecting the handset and keep it held down as you connect

7. The repair process should now begin.

Please ensure your handset is not connected to your PC when performing the above as you will be instructed to connect your handset once you have followed the above steps. Your handset must also remain powered off at all times.

Please note it may be the case that user data is lost during this upgrade. We therefore recommend backing up any data to your SIM card, Memory Stick, or PC before upgrading.

Please be aware that if an update to a later version of Android has become available for your Sony Ericsson Xperia handset the new version may be installed. If this is the case you may notice some differences in the functionality of your handset when updating. All information regarding these changes can be viewed on the following link. We would recommend reading through this before updating.

www.sonymobile.com/software

We hope this helps you.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] DEBAJYOTI.PAL:
The screen of C5 Ultra is not bad. Its just that it lacks the punchy colors that you will find in Amoled screens. The colors seem to be a bit fade to my liking. I owned a Xperia Z Ultra also. The screens are at par. No issues regarding that. Its just when you compare with Amoled screens, I feel that this C5 Ultra screen lacks the vivid colors and the contrast level. Rest,be assured that its a good overall screen in general....
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] androFRUST:
Mine had horrible light bleed at the bottom right corner of the display though. Have sent to the service center. As for the colors, adjusting the white balance helps loads.. but it screws up the software and the screen flickers for about half a sec before any video is played, praying for a software fix
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] johnnski:
I got the phone yesterday. So far these are my observation:

pros

- very sexy design

- camera takes clear and sharp images. one of the best camera I have experienced so far. I compared this to an iphone 6 and iPhone 6's pictures looks dull compared to this

- buttery smooth

cons

- the camera takes a few seconds to launch and sometimes lag but this is more software issue and I hope the rom gets developed

- the battery is not that great.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
There is a new update on the single sim variant. version 29.0.A.1.55. I think its a new kernel as well. But its still 5.0 though.. Come on Sony...

First thing I notice is that if u have changed white balance values before, it applies that immediately after u turn it on. Before the update, have to open up the settings white balance app for it to apply. Next change is a big eyesore... brightness was tuned down., by a lot.... I used to set it to 20% indoor. Now, I have to turn it up to at least 40% to get back that same brightness!! The irritating screen flicker is still there. Launching camera is pretty quick now also. Any other changes u guys notice?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] androFRUST:
ALL I CAN SAY IS S.O.B SONY!!

sad news to hear. i cant even "enjoy" the new update. Xperia has had my device for over a week+ now after I complained that the display was too yellow! they're giving me a replacement but they said they're holding it back so that the technician can "check" for faults. Hoping they wont do any hanky panky with my supposedly "replaced" device. Any ideas how to check if its different? could they game the IMEI number?

Will definitely checkback once i have the updated "new" phone.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] scpion:
Lol.. Dun think u missed anything important. Unless they push the 5.1 these few day.. If it's a replacement, imei should be different.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] ByronShoh:
The phone hangs when I try to delete messages, anyone with the same problem? Have sent it to the service centre here in Singapore twice, still hangs!
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] szaim:
As a Z Ultra owner, I would not recommend it. The phone's camera is so bad I think it is worse than my $100 cheap tablet! And it does not have flash. The screen is gorgeous though and once you are used to the 6+ inch screen size, anything less will look small.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] fugeetive:
Anybody here who use brand new C5 ultra? I bought this phone 2 months ago and ecountered yellowish screen problem. Firstly they changed my phone with new one, but unluckily new one also had the same issue. So i asked for refund and they gave my money back.

I still looking around for a new phone to buy and i wonder if the new series of c5 ultra still has the yellowish screen problem?

İf anyone who buy this phone lately (latest series), could share their screen experince?

Thank you in advance.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] kanej2006:
Did you try tweaking the white balance? If calibrated properly, you'll get an excellent screen without any blue/yellowish tint...
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] fugeetive:
Unfortunately not did that :( , i read it from here yesterday . But i also experinced yellow or brown tint from the bottom right edge of screen when all screen was black. Than i reconsider again to buy this phone, hopefully can adjust the right colour balance.

İ dunno why but i really like the whole experience except the screen.

Thanks for your kind and fast answer , i would love the hear your further information , opinions about this phone if you want to share.
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] djurkash:
Guys, I need realistic, and honest answer...I'd like to move from Note3 dual sim (N9002) to this one...Ok, other phones are also option, and I don't mind giving 100-200 more, but this one I can purchase for 220eur, almost new. And, to me it sounds as good deal. I was on Z ultra, like big screen, and Sony's light skin. Camera is not on my list of priorities. But, battery is, and I need 5hrs of SOT within a day, can C5 ultra (dual sim) do it?
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] mingkee:
Which color do you have?

White model has innolux

Black model has truly
[Sony Xperia C5 Ultra] billy2004:
c5 dual E5533 after 3 days!

ok the camera is not an iphone or s7 BUT its more than average.....if you are in taking a lot of pics and quick buy another phone..

ok the batery could have been bigger....but is ok for one full day with 2 sim open and wifi....

the 2gb ram is sufficient...could be bigger...

generaly its a decent phone for its price...300-350 euros...

Personaly i buy it second hand only 3 months.. in as new condition with the original flip case also in mint condition..for only 255 euros.

For the average user like me ...and many others out there its a nice stable reliable device.

And for those how worry about the non removable battery ...when it goes down after a year or more....i am sure there would be some new bargain out there....or simply pay 30 euros and chaange it...or 15 euros and do it yourself ...

Have a nice day...

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

its a good device well made..battery is ok for 1 day ...5 hours continuous on screen never tested..but i supose it lasts...dont hear that it takes long to charge...it charges normally in max 2 hours..

at this money with these specs....there is no competition....and miles better than my old chinese crap witch had 4gb ram android 4.4.2

no lag at all....

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Thanks :)

You can do it for Xperia TX?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NeWm@N:
I have some issues. Default camera dont save the photos and when i try to delete some files with the file manager in root mode it says me that i need the root permissions but in Su they are activated... :confused:

EDIT:

I tried with Google Camera and FO File Manager but nothing, i dont have the permissions to write or modify internal memory.

Any solution?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Styxie:
Try this in Terminal:

su

chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

chown 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

chown -R 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] NeWm@N:
I have solved. :cool:

I have flashed TWRP 2.8.5.0 and wiped sdcard (internal memory) and after the system reboot everything works fine and i have the internal memory full access!

Thanks anyway [MENTION=6089862]Styxie[/MENTION]!

PS: Maybe i could be of help to someone:

I went from stock 4.3 -> Flashed boot.img -> Full Wipe -> Flashed Rom and GApp -> Full Wipe -> Installed TWRP Manager from Play Store -> Rebooted into TWRP recovery and wiped internal memory (sdcard) ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Seyron:
Hey Styxie,

I just tried to give your ROM a try on my mint with latest JB 4.3 installed, rooted und BL unlocked. It would be nice if you clarified the "Flash Boot.img"-Step. Because as I extracted the boot.img from the ROM-zip and flashed that one with the Flashtool it resulted in a brick.. It didn't respond to anything and screen stayed black. Luckily I could revive it by disassembling it, reconnecting the battery, instantly booting it in fastboot mode and flash the stock kernel over.

I'd really like to try your ROM, but don't want to risk another brick! So tell me: is flashing the boot.img really needed and if so should I only do it from a stock non-rooted ROM? And if not will PhilZ CWM Touch Recovery + the DoomKernel also do the job? Or was I just using the wrong boot.img? - couldn't find another one though..

Thanks in advance.

Greetings Seyron.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Styxie:
Hi

Which build did u try to install the first or second?

Anyway if u flash the Rom from your recovery your "boot.img" will be replaced automatically.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Seyron:
Hey,

I tried the first build as I downloaded it yesterday. Didn't notice that there's a second one since today!

Will you add a changelog?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Styxie:
Changelog in the ROM

or Here:

http://gerrit.aicp-rom.com/#/q/status:merged

Idk what is your problem without any log, the Rom worked for others so i think u should try to download again or try with the new build

of course at your own risk :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Seyron:
No problem, just asked. It's always good to know what changes are integrated in a newer version, so that one could decide, whether the update is reasonable or not.

Sure, I'll do so. I'm downloading the second build right now and will flash it as soon as it's placed on the phone. I'll report if it's working for me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Styxie:
Sure

i'm waiting your feedback :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Seyron:
Ok now. After a few other bricks which were caused by trying to flash twrp recovery, I got it working. First I flashed the Cyanogen Recovery which I found on cyanogen's Xperia T development. Then flashed your second build from 9/22 and the linked gapps too. After waiting a while for the phone to finish the boot setup wizard started. Setup wizard already seems buggy because it stucks on "Checking for connection" (something like that) after connecting it to my wifi. I only could stop it by completely bypassing setup wizard with the "corner-touch-bypass-trick". Data, wifi, SIM certainly work (only things I could test shortterm). "Settings has stopped" appear on every boot. I tested the camera and it obviously doesn't save any taken pictures. I tried the tip from NeWm@N (wipe sdcard) which resulted in a bootloop.

As I'm looking for a absolutely stable and bugfree ROM (installing it for a friend) I'll look into some other ROMs next.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Styxie:
I'm sorry to hear that

Some tips: At first boot when the Settings.apk asks superuser permission allow it!--- this solve the Settings fc problem

For the sdcard problem just type this in Terminal:

su

chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

chown 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

chown -R 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Seyron:
Thanks for the tips. I did allow the Settings.apk for superuser at the first boot. But the problem still persists.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Styxie:
Can you make logcat?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Jetiman:
The first flash it worked, now stuck at first boot.

Tried with TWRP 2.8.5.0 and CWM.

Have you as tips on what to do?
