[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
That's hardly a rant, if I may say :o

Could you post a picture of the screen? One with brightness set to low in a dark-ish room, and one with brightness at max in a well lit room? Either way, doesn't sound normal, and you may have gotten a unit with a defect panel. Sony also uses two different manufacturers for their panels, namely Sharp and AUO.

My first Ultra had the AUO panel, but it was defect, so I had to fix it. When I got it back, I had gotten a Sharp panel, and let me tell you, it's much better. Contrast is better, and the colors are really good. So I'll assume you had a Sharp panel on your first Ultra, got some new devices with excellent screens, including AMOLEDs, and then you get an Ultra with a (probably) defective AUO panel. I would've exchanged it for one with a Sharp panel.

I'm getting ahead of myself though, so you'll first have to check which panel you have.

You'll have to be rooted (might be a problem), and then download a mobile Terminal, and then:

su
dmesg|grep -i panel

Look for:

If it's a Sharp, it'll look like this:

"<6>[ 1.104054] mdss_panel_parse_dt: Panel Name = sharp renesas 1080p video new id"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Im not on stock rom but on hybrid rom. For curiosity I tried the command and got

0_a88@C6833:/ $ su

.... it doesn't say me anything..? But looks none like what you wrote.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Okay, so that only worked on KitKat. This works on Lollipop:

su
cd /sys/devices/mdss_dsi_panel
cat panel_id

Mine says "sharp renesas 1080p video new id"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Hmm okay I have the, auo novatek 1080p video.

So but no then well I can't agree with op at all. I think this screen looks fabulous.

But then again I have not seen another ultra with the sharp to compare to.

Wonder if there is some datasheet with contrast ratio, rgb value etc to technically see whats the difference between the sharp and the auo novatek?

The eye and brain is not a very good tool to say what is what.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
GSM Arena's Z Ultra test has some display data from their review unit. Hard to tell if it's a Sharp or AUO panel though.

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z_ultra-review-975p3.php
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
https://translate.google.com/transl...peria-Z-Ultra-Displayl-Vendor.html&edit-text=

Other day of the Xperia Ambassador meeting we were able to compare because ever been a person who was able to borrow a body equipped with AUO made ​​of the display in the participants in.

The left is made of AUO, is the right made of SHARP panel. In the image it is hard to understand some've found that there are yellowish better of SHARP-made panel (so-called urine liquid crystal).

[youtube]watch?v=10GlAKaMHyQ[/youtube]

translate of the video description:

And gmsarena video

[youtube]watch?v=XRjgW-FytSk[/youtube]

Hard to judge. My eyes tends to guess for the auo. But my eyes is probably completely wrong.

I will send them an email later and ask. They probably sold or returned the phone. But its worth a shot.

http://www.gsmarena.com/contact.php3
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
I've had them both, and I remember reacting on how good the screen looked when I got my Ultra back from repairs. I had the AUO at first, and I checked again after the repair, and it had a Sharp panel. I also remembering that blacks were deeper, and contrast was better on the second panel (Sharp), but maybe whites are warmer? That might be the case, but I can't say that I've noticed anything :p

Anyhow, I suspect that OP's screen is defect. The display should be good no matter what panel it's using. You have the AUO panel, and you're not complaining, right?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
yep.

I might still be a bit blind for color accuracy cause I had a Z1 the whole week testing custom roms making sure the device was stable before I returned it to the owner. Compared to the Z ultra. The Z1 screen is a piece of ****, crap, bugger, the worst screen I have ever used.

But over the two year period I had this device. I have been very satisfied with the colors, brightness and contrast.

Oh wait a minute I have had my z ultra for two years this very week! :good:

Worth notice is that I do have the light bleed and bad contrast ratio when looking at dark videos/content. Many reviewers mentioned this on the first batch of the Z ultra. But I hardly watch any dark videos so this don't bother me, I mostly use mine in direct sunlight or low light indoor sitting on the sofa.

Video here about the contrast:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Yup, I got my Ultra the day it was released, and I remember having some light bleed, but I don't have that issue with this screen. Black is very deep, for an LCD at least.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mingkee:
Mine is the same.

This L SPEED IS MADE By. #PAGET96

#MALTONATOR

For more details and downloads go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58598266

L Speed is a mod that combines some scripts and little tweaks in one package which is aimed to improve performance, reduce lags and expand battery life.

Originally developed for the LG L Series and Nokia X2, now this mod is expanded and modified accordingly to run on any device!

This mod will work on any device.

All you need to ensure is that your phone is running Android!

It will work from Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)

DO NOT USE THIS MOD WITH OTHER MOD, CLEAN UP YOUR init.d FOLDER BEFORE FLASHING!

If you're updating from previous versions, you don't need to do anything, the script will do everything automatically

User friendly (clear menu in Terminal Emulator)

Less RAM usage through zipalign

Better Performance

Less lags with LMK Tweak and various VM Tweaks

Faster SDCARD Read/Write speed

Cleaner script for cleaning system

Better battery life

CPU tuner

Battery calibration

Seeder

Kernel tweaks

FS Trim

No more ads, host file updated

How to clean up init.d

Use a root explorer as File Explorer)

* go to root directory ( / )

* navigate to /system/etc/init.d

* Open init.d folder

* Delete all files from other mods (e.g. zipalign, sqlite, setpermissions, System tweaks, etc.)

* Done! Optionally, do a reboot for safety measure

Requirements

* Root Access

* init.d support (Users without init.d just flash the mod, but SuperSU is needed)

* Custom Recovery (such as CWM or TWRP)

- Mod will not be properly flashed on some device with TWRP because the recovery doesn't have /tmp folder

* Minimal ~10MB free space on system partition

How to install:

Before flashing please take a backup to avoid any incompatibility issues. (Just in case)

1. Change SElinux to permissive*IMPORTANT* (but no need for Nokia x2 because we already have it)

3. Reboot into recovery mode

4. Flash zip file

5. Reboot

6. Profit!

L Speed menu: (check script, L Speed Wizard, changelogs, uninstall)

Download Terminal Emulator from Play Store

Hey everyone,

I used to have a couple of HTC phones back in the day (Droid Incredible, Thunderbolt, Rezound), all of which were capable of turning data on when I receive an MMS. I always leave my data and WiFi off when not in use. Both my S4 and Nexus 6 cannot do this. I was wondering, does the Moto X Pure turn on data when you receive an MMS? My friend has an HTC One M8 and his can turn it on automatically. I would assume the Moto X Pure does not do this. I currently paid for Tasker, and every method to do this through Tasker has not worked properly for me. Does anyone know a solution? It's very aggravating that my MMS do not download automatically, and I have to turn on my data and then download them just to receive my message. Thanks in advance!

Why are you turning off your data? You say you turn off data and WiFi when not in use...when is that? A cell phone without one of these in use is basically an expensive slab of metal and plastic???
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris23445:
I don't need to be connected to the internet 24/7. It's a waste of battery. I don't use my phone all the time, and it's way easier to just turn on my data and catch up on my notifications. I'd rather that then deal with my battery draining more when I'm not even able to check my notifications anyway. So it's a complete waste for me.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticGenius:
Current generation phones can get a day of battery while keeping data and WiFi on the whole time, thus making what your looking for unnecessary and to the best of my knowledge no phone has had this since ~2012. If for some reason you're unable to charge once a day I'd recommend a battery pack for such an occasion.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akquad12:
so I was wondering the same thing. I'm coming from note4 which turned automatically. shouldnt have to explain why we want the data off. please can someone just answer the question?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHoleSlam:
Since everyone is slightly thick headed when it comes to not keeping on data I'll give you the real answer. With the update to lollipop google removed the ability of texting apps to do just this. Textra, handcent, and even the good ole aosp sms app could have this. For this option to work for any app that contains the setting you need to make that app a system app. Then it will work. Their is an app on the play store that moves to /system. It does require root
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris23445:
It's so dumb that they removed app's access to toggle data. I'm trying to move Google Messenger to system in Titanium Backup. I'll let you know if everything works! Thanks for the tip!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackHoleSlam:
I believe their words made the system more secure. Agreed though pain in the @ss. Heads up though. When backing up in titanium whatever you back up won't be a part of it. So if full wiping you will have to reimplement the messaging app as a system app.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris23445:
Sorry to be a pain, but I've been extremely busy and couldn't get the Google Messenger to become a system app. I tried Titanium Backup, and manually moving the app's lib files and nothing works. What is the play store app you are talking about? The only one I could find just moves system apps to user apps. Thanks in advance for all of your help!!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris23445:
I downloaded the Link2SD app which successfully moved Google Messenger to a system app. The setting to turn data on is checked but it still does not work. Anyone have any other ideas? If not that's okay I'm just curious if someone else has this working.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerobles1:
So, I've been using this app and it works very well. You have to be rooted though. And I am running MM.

"Auto enable data" allows you to have ur data off at all times,, and when an MMS comes through it will turn on your data, download the MMS and when done it will turn off data.

"WIFI fix" will turn off WIFI if connected to a WIFI, and turn it on once data turns on and then off after it's done downloading an MMS.

Hi all,

Sory if this sounds too easy for some- but I've been searching the net and this forum for the latest UK TMobile ROM. Off the net some of the links don't work- same as here one of the links pointing to the latest ROM does not work -

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2210206_109_21911_TMO_UK_WWE_Ship.exe

My ROM is 2.21.2.6 WWE, ROM Date 3/9/06.

Is this the latest? If not where can I get the latest? I think its 2.26.10.2 WWE?

FOR TEMPORARILY USE THIS METHOD TO ROOT NOTE 5 running on NOUGAT

PS : Running version of SuperSU will not work, once It will be updated use below said method

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Marshmallow and lower use below method-------------------------

I have seen many users still have no proper information about rooting SM-N920* (Galaxy Note 5)

Here Steps to root your Note 5. Since there are major changes in policy to root device here I am updating this guide in favor of newbies to make it simple as possible.

Before you proceed to root, you should know some facts like we need to have custom kernel as of now to root device (This is no more compulsory as Systemless root like Supersu 2.60+ can root device on stock kernel. Read below.). Also we have bootloader protection to flash anything but that can be unlock (read below). Also to note that rooting your device warranty voids (permanently) apart from warranty if you want to unroot device after rooting it once, you may have deep sleep bug. Read

Deep Sleep issue on stock non rooted ROM

at end of this post.

How to root Note 5

IMPORTANT

Here is end of how to root note 5. Read below some miscellaneous discussion.

- There may be issue with DRM protected videos (like Netflix). You can fix with this.

- Now DON'T FORGET TO MAKE EFS (IMEI) BACKUP

- Xposed on Note 5

I've read that currently there is reboot issues with that kernels. Which one from the 3 versions is the most stable?
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Let's keep this thread on the track only and don't make kernel discussing thread. All developers are working hard and it's insulting to say this one is better. For A - may be kernel X is better and for B - may be kernel Y is better, moreover it's subjective and you have to find yourself which one is best for you. Purpose of guide is how to root and I am pretty sure using any of mention kernel will do job. If you are not happy with your kernel you can change anytime OR may you can seek assistance from kernel thread.

Hope this make clear.

Not all but some variant can share same ROM like n920i and n920c

For tmobile, they need to flash call audio fix to use international rom so same way if you flash n920t rom may you get some bug. Yet I haven't read if anyone reported his/her experience regarding this, you can try yourself.

Either you can try n920c/i or can make request to kernel developer to add support to your device

Just want to know what are the future possiblities of Rom Development for model no. SM-N920G which is being distributed in India rite now... are the roms/kernels going to be model specific or universal for models other than Sprint/verizon etc...!!

With so many models coming up , its going to be quite confusing for both developers and users i guess.... !!!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
There are possibilities there n920i/c model rom kernel may work on n910g. If not then you have to request developer for kernel. I may consider to add support for rom if there is no support for n910g and sufficient users available.
