Lol u want to browse and read in 4K, but anything above 1080p is nearly undetectable for humans eye :rolleyes:

4K will become standardised very soon, as VR goggles are getting more and more popular.

Now, on 1080p, when using VR goggles, the screen does get separated into two images. Thus screen resolution you see thru the glasses be like 400x800 or so..

Imagine, when using 4K... VR goggles will still display 2K.. Which is more pixels than our 1080p res.

Take a magnifier and look at a 1080p screen, count the pixels and multiply that by 2. That's the resolution you'll see thru VR goggles when using a 4k display, and that's exactly what it's designed and meant for.

Sooner or later, Sony will come up with their very own VR goggles like Samsung with VR gear. :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
I dont really understand what's with the "undetectable thing " people keep repeating.

If you browse at 4K, text is much smaller and the content displayed is much more than 1080p . I don't have to scroll 2 pages to see everything where I can see it in only one @4K.

When you buy bigger PC screen you get more space on your desktop ( icons / files etc.. ) because resolution gets higher not because the screen gets bigger.

Whether I can see the pixel or not is my least concern.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] langeveld024:
That's not about resolution.

Resolution is about pixels.

How things appear on the screen is about layout / DPI.

U can easily spoof ur DPI in build.prop or with an xposed module, even per-app.

Just Google a bit and you'll find out :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
Higher DPI means higher resolution....

In the first video I posted the dpi was increased as u can see in the end of the video the device becomes very laggy during transition.

bottom line, xperia can't handle 4K resolution.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] langeveld024:
Cool! So if I just put higher DPI, and everything looks smaller on my Z, that means I suddenly have 4K lol :rolleyes:

Believe what u want to believe Bro :thumbup:
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
I am not sure why you're trying to make it hard on yourself. higher DPI doesn't mean it can displayed on any screen CLEARLY.

a 4K resolution needs a 4K display at least if you wanna see everything. Increasing the DPI on a 480p screen means the screen isn't dense enough to display a text clearly., texts will be distorted.

/Google :

Higher resolution means more detail.

Higher DPI means higher resolution

. Resolution is not “size”, but it’s often confused with it because higher resolution images are often bigger, but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case.

/Thanks google.

back to my point : Yes if you increase the DPI it means you can get a 4K RESOLUTION not SCREEN. The point is to have a screen capable of displaying it ( double lol )
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] langeveld024:
BTW, 4K is only in album app and video app when watching 4K content.

That means, whole system and launcher and everything else except for the 4K content, will be displayed in 1080p.

(and I don't say resolution has anything to do with size, in fact I'm saying it has nothing to do with the size as a response to ur initial post where u don't understand how it's possible for a 4K screen to display such big icons; that's because of dpi, and the device displayed 1080p on home launcher etc.)

Anyway, (little OT) are u gonna buy it?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
Well yes I'm going to buy it as my Xperia Z has served me well last 2 years. Actually it's the only device that stayed with me more than 2 months.

It's still running great and battery lasts a day and a half with moderate usage. I respect the Xperia line and Sony but the only reason why I'm upgrading is because Sony will drop support after last 5.1.1 upgrade.

However the more I think of it the more im convinced that the Xperia Z5 is a better option, but still, I'm going for the Premium, I really like the chrome one.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] langeveld024:
Xperia Z was (and is) a tough phone. I use mine now for almost 3 years.

I didn't know it was "officially" the latest update? Though it makes kinda sense, given the age of the phone.

I'm still undecided also, let's wait for the reviews :thumbup:
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Andrewtst:
This is wrong, higher/lower DPI had nothing to do with resolution. You can set same DPI and get same viewing area in different resolution, just differences in clarity only.

I can absolutely see the differences of FHD vs QHD in screen 5.5" and above.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] langeveld024:
Then u have better eyes then me lol

Or must be side by side comparison but even though it is hard to tell, because every screen looks a bit different (color, saturation, etc) already.

Can u count the pixels on a 1080p? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Andrewtst:
Before you not using it even side compare you hardly notice the differences. This is mostly everyone said no different last year.

But after you use it then you will clearly notice the differences without even need to compare. A lot user that have QHD phone will give you similar answer this year.

Maybe our eye get train to see it after we see it. I not sure it is good or bad.

This thing is same as last time people said no different between HD vs FHD. For now nearly most the people can seen the different.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:

[Xperia Z5 Premium General] langeveld024:
I agree u can tell difference between different screens, It might look brighter and sharper but you can't see actual pixels of a given resolution. Not on these small screens.

Also, I don't believe we can "train" our eyes by looking to a screen. If so, we don't need glasses/lenses in the near future- "just buy a 4K phone and your eyes will get repaired" lol
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Andrewtst:
I am not pixel picking, what I mean is QHD definitely everything look much sharpen than FHD.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
There is a thing called scaling in phone nowadays. it's not like how Windows 7 displays content anymore now. It's more like Macbook Pro Retina Display system.

The one on Z5 Premium runs on 1920x1080 for standard operation with 480 dpi. This is just the same with Z5 standard. That makes every icons look bigger (due to bigger physical screen size). Now if you look at hpp6174's post, you see that you can achieve wider display (+smaller icons) just by changing the dpi down. Just do:

and restart.

For Z5 Premium, it should be set at 400 dpi imho, because the real screen density is 800ppi (for 4k, with 1080 res just half it down to 400ppi, simple as that). But as you see with hpp6174's post above, you can achieve smaller icon and wider display still. But as a side effect when you go less than 400dpi, you'll get less than optimal touch area on the screen for a Button element on screen, which by Google standard should be min. 48dp (around 96px with 320dpi/144px with 480dpi/120px with 400dpi). That's why i recommend people to reduce the OS dpi to 400, no less than that.

One reason i can think of why Sony set it at 480 dpi instead of 400dpi is to guarantee the software compatibility, because 400dpi is not common (only XZU GPe edition that i know of), and 320 dpi on 800 (400) ppi of Z5P will result in smaller than optimal touch area.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] langeveld024:
That's my point. It "looks" sharper. But the actual difference you can't tell.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] gparmar76:
You could always unlock it and try Cyanogen on it...at least this way, you'll get Android M.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

You would never see the difference on a small 4-6 inch screen... The differences you are seeing are color quality differences and perhaps the difference between an IPS panel and OLED...the resolution makes no difference at these sizes.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Andrewtst:
You not seen it does not means others don't. Plenty people seen the differences now compare with last year.

I use S6 Edge (SAMOLED), G4 (IPS) and now Note5 (SAMOLED) means not related to AMOLED or LCD or screen size. As long not below 5".

Last year I will told you I can't really tell even when I compare side by side. After a year using QHD, yes they is differences in clarity on QHD vs FHD.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] gparmar76:
I believe that you are seeing quality differences... Even related to sharpness and detail...what I'm saying is that those quality differences are not due to screen resolution... Your eyes can not see the difference between a 1080p or 2k or 4k screen resolution on such small screens...the quality differences that you are referring to are the differences in how the screen from one device to the next is calibrated for color, sharpness, gamma, etc. Honestly, those things are way more important than just having a 4k screen. Sony, however, did a great job on the Z5P with color calibration, gamma and sharpness...that's why you are seeing great picture quality... I think I'm going to buy this phone for that reason and the awesome camera.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Andrewtst:
I don't see the Z5 none premium screen great until where. It is good but behind S6 Edge, Note5, G4 and V10.

Camera wise I don't want to repeat here against but it is under my expectation. Far behind S6 Edge, Note5, G4 and V10.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] gparmar76:
Well the S6 phones use AMOLED screens...people like seeing rich colors that AMOLED offers...I had the S6 and also liked the screen...byt I prefer LED screens because they are more accurate... But its a personal preference for people... I loved the camera on the S6 but pro photography sites are claiming the Sony Z5 camera is better... I'll have to wait until I get my Z5P to see for myself... It would be nice if we could unlock the Z5 without losing camera quality.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] tanipat:
Just got my Z5 premium dual sim today, is there anyway to tweak or develop this native resolution for at least 2k or even 4k at full potential, is it hardware supported? I know it might kills battery by 4k fulltime, but i think sony should give us freedom for use our device (like we can change by ourselves). If dev able to develop such freedom it would be great imho even it looks silly because we cannot see the different but we bought premium one for its features on hw right
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Envious_Data:
This device seems to be decently popular

Give it some time and perhaps someome will make a mod as typically happens on xda
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] theskig:
Where did you get the Dual version? Is it E6833 or E6883?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] tanipat:
I bought E6883 dual from importer in Thailand i am sure they got it from HK.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] riz157:
does the dual sim come with a separate sim tray or one of the sim tray double ups as sd card tray?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] alex8787:
I also have the E6883. Both SIM fit in a single long tray. The other slot is for the MicroSD.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] tanipat:
It is long tray with 2 slot of nano sim it is not compatible to swith 2nd sim with sd card (non-hybrid), reason though the device already support separate sd card slot.

Hey guys! Since my phone needed repairs I unrooted my HTC one m8. Now somehow I cannot install the ota updates anymore even though I should be unrooted and have stock firmware. Any ideas?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Read many threads for this.

You can't do OTA on a rooted stock ROM.

You can't do OTA on a unrooted previously a rooted stock ROM

You only can do update on a non-rooted stock ROM (never rooted before)

unless you know how to read the errors and replace files one by one after each error.

So restore to a non-rooted stock ROM either a nandroid backup or a RUU which is for your device CID/MID.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessevd:

[G3 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
So.. I decided it was time to try changing my resolution.

I know what I did on my LG G Flex (4.4.2)

But I heard some people had luck on 5.1.1

Bad idea right? Right.

So, nomone changer didn't work. Didn't really expect it to either.

Resolution changer (can find here on xda), didn't work. But some people say it does.. Oh well.

Was getting discouraged, but was determined.

Found another app (on play)

• UI Tuner (ROOT) by Bassel Bakr

IT WORKED!!! But it didn't!!

It works but it throws you into a reboot cycle... Dammit!

How do I fix this...

Restore from backup? Wipe/Reflash ROM?

Nope.

My G3 will do a complete boot, but after about 10seconds... REBOOT

Just enough time to see if uninstalling will restore back to original settings.

NOPE!!

Whatever resolution you change to PERSISTS even after a reboot, WITHOUT the app installed... And no auto reboot!!

So, I'm now on this ROM (EOS Revival) with 1080x1920 resolution on 5.1.1.

Awesome, but DPI is way out of whack at 560...

I go to display and change down to 400.. Reboot

No love.

In comes another app.

• Neo Density DPI Changer by polarbear software

It's the only one I found to work with 5.1.1 (because ro.sf.LCD_density build prop mod didn't/doesn't work)

So now I've been able to change to 1080x1920@300DPI

Just an FYI if anyone is interested.
[G3 General] Arzee08:
Terminal emulator works fine to. Type

"su" then "wm size 1080x1920"

And density is "wm density xxx"

Obviously swap xxx for the density you want

Figured I'd look into your request. First goto menu on Samsung TV, then goto network. Should then see a screen mirroring choose, select that. Then like mentioned, select screen mirroring in drop-down and Samsung TV choice should appear. In future you may just need to activate screen mirror after this initial connect.

Pick any picture from your gallery.

At the bottom , there is a pop- up screen , choose share option.

Then choose mirroring option. Then your phone will look for tv or devices that you want to connect. After you choose that tv or device. Your phone will hook up and everything that shows on note5 includeing video will show on tv.

I had this problem and this fixed it for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0JqRf6sygM

Your phone must be rooted for this to work however.

Basically the fix is:

1) Install ES File Explorer

2) Navigate to the /Device/system folder (make sure Root Explorer is enabled from the Tools menu first)

3) Edit the build.prop file

4) Add the setting: wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable (anywhere within the additional build properties section, preferably at the end)

5) Save and reboot!

- I can't Install Stock recovery because my bootloader is relocked by Guru Bootloader and now I can't reunlock

- I can't Install OTA Package

- I didn't install Odex, Deodex because I didn't know how

Only think i've did was:

- Installing Firmware

- Installing RUU

- i've put TWRP and i was able to flash everything

-now everything works good. before this soft i used Venom . Using Venom makes my HTC One Max burn in my hands and batery has less life than now

-that OTA Package still don't work to flash is, even with TWRP. (i've tried with stock recovery as well, but same error appears), Odex or Deodex.. i didn't tried. ar these important to work fine? May be a stupid question but i see that my phone works very good
