[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] D daydream:
I know..

vendor popup..

I don't care..

but

CARBON-CR-6.1-NOCT-WEEKLY-maple-20180705-0051 version

daydream is not working.

I don't go daydream vr home.

Is fixed this problem?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Blackghosthm:
I don't have daydream to test but after flashing module a vr setting will show on screen settings like snappatch,also full vr mode will be enabled. Try it by your self and if it doesn't work just remove the module.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] D daydream:
I don't use magisk module.

(I use another way and I once used magisk module.)

full vr mode possible. but

problem is 'not entering daydream vr service in full vr mode.'

this problem had reported by another user in carbonrom thread

July 20, 2018 | 12:04am by gaijin1% in Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development

I've edited every .prop file I could find, but for some reason I can't get the Daydream workaround to work with Carbon. It was working with AOSP 8.1. Can someone steer me in the right direction? I liked this with the 4K kernel, but 4K is useless without VR.

Hello my friend,

its my first time on The American XDA Forums. I have now the Xperia XZ Premium. I used Riftcat for 4k VR over my PC.

Thanks for the Comments in this Thread. You help my to choose the XZ P.

And sorry for my very bad English....
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] 99fdbac6:
I want to know if XZP can play 5400x2700-60fps-h265-sbs vr videos? which can download from czechvr website. thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] dakonga:
I do not think so, because all files over 4k that I tested do not play properly.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ConfusedandExhausted:
What settings do you use on Riftcat?

Do you connect via USB or WiFi, and if tethered, what type of cable do you use?

What spec is your pc?

I've been getting all kinds of visual artifacting over both regardless of my settings on an i7 6700k with a GTX 1070.

Customize cardboard QR code for XZP and Gear VR

Thanks for the useful info now 3 years later. Can you elaborate how you managed to create a QR code for cardboard that works 4k full size? I tried this with the cardboard code generator to get shapes right with xpreria xz 4k mode and Gear VR.

What ever I do, the VR image stays tiny on the bottom. I inputted my current PPI of 802 for the generator and all right info, even tried 200 ppi and 1600ppi, to see there is no change to the image location on VR players (still tiny at bottom).

As your QR still works but its not perfect for these lenses. A helping hand would be appreciated!

Trying my luck here now years later. Hope you're doing good in these times where VR is more needed than ever. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xperiaxz:
Okay - Solved this. Here is how to configure 4k screen for any VR viewer.

1. Go to: https + : + //: + wwgc + firebaseapp + .com (Sorry cant post urls as a newbie user.)

2. Follow the instructions and correct the view so that it looks perfect on your headset (all the lines are straight etc.)

3. Then set the "Screen to lens distance" and "Inter-lens distance (mm)" to exactly the double it would have been normally. Screen to lens distance: 41 -> 82 and Inter-lens distance 60 -> 120. - For gear VR Distortion coefficient k1 is 0,050 and k2 0,2.

4. Create the QR code and scan it with any 3rd part QR code reader into your cardboard app. (cardboards own qr code reader gives a lot of errors, but this works)

Here is a working profile for Sony xperia XZ that is set to 4k all the time with abd command. Optimized for Samsung Gear VR .
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Photeko:
Hey guys! Could we make an updated list for best VR headsets for XZ Premium?​

So far in this thread these two have hands on reviews from others, not really reviews, just short comments:

Bobo Z4 (either version, with or without headphones)

My comment: I have this one, it's okey. I don't have any others so can't compare. But basically unusable for a longer period in sitting position. A lot of pressure on the nose bone. Uncomfortable but ok when lying down. Not sure about the lenses. I have generated a perfectly adjusted QR code from the 'Sitesinvr' android app configurator. And then doubled the values from Sitesinvr in https://wwgc.firebaseapp.com/ to generate the 4k QR code version. I have to adjust the IPS wheel on the Bobo Z4 all to the left to get the left and right views to merge. By that point the image becomes very blurry, unusable. So have to live with a not completely merged view to get proper sharpness.

Do you guys have this issue?

Antzvr (no button, a bit wider field of view due to square lenses)

Guys, please add your short reviews/comments

Hi I have the daydream vr. When I have time to set it I will upload a short review
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] bk37:
So to sum up the google daydream vr is out of focus so it's a no for me
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] bk37:
Quick update: I was able to remove the lenses and put them on the frontside (a bit sketcy setup). Now the screen is in focus

EDIT: after a couple of months it loses focus if you move so it is still a no
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] mathey:
For those who are still using this phone for vr - is the playback of 4k 60 fps HEVC smooth on that device, especially on forced 4K screen resolution? And how about higher res files (5K, 6K and more)? I mean the typical 8 bit depth HEVC, because the Snapdragon 835 doesn't have hardware decoding of HEVC 10 bit.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] bk37:
4K 60 fps HEVC with Vridge seems smooth to me. I don't see the point of using higher resolution. I've just tried with a 8k 60 fps video and a 4k 120 fps video and they are not playing (I mean the lag is too high)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] mathey:
Thanks, I don't see the point of using res higher than the screen res too, but sometimes there is no lower res available and the reconverting takes a time. I have a bunch of 5K HEVCs so that's why I asked.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] mathey:
So I've got an XZ Premium recently, it runs the stock firmware updated to the latest 9.0 Pie. And I could confirm that it can play a 60 fps 4K HEVC video (exact resolution 3840x1920 - I suppose it would go ok with 3840x2160 too, but I don't have the suitable video as for now, but the records in 4K HEVC from camera are in that resolution and they play OK) in AAA VR Cinema quite smoothly. They play ok too in other players like VLC, MX or default player invoked by CX File Explorer. Not as smooth as on an Snapdragon 865 device which I have too (but it runs 1080 x 2400 screen resoliution, so maybe that's a point). Probably, due to the fact it runs Pie I didn't had to make the resolution mod with ADB - the AAA VR and other video players are displayed in 4K resolution (3840x2160) without the mod. To be sure, I made the ADB resolution mod anyway (size 3840x2160 and denstity 807 / 721) and I didn't noticed any noticeable differencies between them.

I would say the screen looks very nice in VR in FIIT VR googles - there are much more details than on AMOLED 1080 x 2400 px screen on other device. But the colours on AMOLED are slightly better (on Xperia I use the super-vivid colour mode anyway). There is also slightly noticeable that on LCD panel the pixel orientation is irregular, but it anyway looks way much better than on AMOLED with 395 ppi). The only disadvantage is slightly less realistic colours.

So that are the positives, but there is also an big negative (for me) aspect I've found. The phone just can't play the HEVC files with resolution higher than 3840x2160. For example 4600x2300, the screen just stays black on AAA VR or VLC with that kind of files, and on CX File Explorer it shows message "Codec not supported: H.256 HEVC". On MX Player that kind of files can play only if I enable the HW+ or SW decoder, but it's ultra laggy and on HW decoder the screen is black as on other players. This may be the limitage of Snapdragon 835 hardware HEVC decoder, and maybe the battle with that is lost. But maybe not, and maybe someone (who uses any custom rom) could confirm if on any newer Android (Custom ROM) on this device that kind of files (4K 60 fps HEVC with resolution HIGHER than 3840x2160, for example 4600x2300) can play quite smoothly with HW decoder? Or maybe there is something more worth trying? The most videos that I have are in 4600x2300 so as for now I can't play them on that XZ Premium :/ From the other hand, on other device with Snapdragon 865 that files play ultra smoothly). Any ideas? (As for now I've tried beta Google Play services - found that tip somewhere - but without effect).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Hyshys123:
I got my XZ premium cause of the 4k VR, but now i have the problem mentioned a couple of times above.

I flashed it with the unofficial lineageOS and set the resolution to 4k by adb.

The mentioned QR code were things should be fixed does not make a difference. I dont know where to start now. any suggestions or people with the same problems and found a solution?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] bk37:
What is the specific problem with the qr code? I strongly suggest to create you own because the parameters depends on your eyes and your vr
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Hyshys123:
Even with the given QR or my own setup i always get stuck with the cardboard small screens like in this video from 0:15:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] bk37:
But when you set the cardboard qr is the screen displayed correctly? I mean on the firebase site
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Hyshys123:
An custom made qr from firebase with values doubled or the premade samples from earlier in this thread doesnt make a difference in the cardboard app and deovr or any other
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] bk37:
In on the browser the screen is displayed correctly but on the cardboard apps it's small it can be a problem of the cardboard app itself. If on the browser when you are generating the qr the screen is not displayed correcty I have solved it using an older version of chromium

Not to thread crap, but if you're on the Android 8.O preview, if you press and hold the Home button, you do get an app drawer to launch all of your installed apps.

This looks like a great app for previous Android versions. Great work!
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] bigbossa:
Hi All

I need some advice ...Ive just had my LG G4 just die on me and I'm looking for a phone that has a good camera. I do still have a Z3 (my wifes really)

should I get an Xperia XZ or what about a Z5 Premium
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] GenomeX:
XZ is a good device but not perfect (can anybody show me perfect device!? LOL)

You can buy Pixel and if you can wait for next gen Pixel (3-4 mounts wait for Pixel 2017 with SD835 or SD836, android O and more)

1- Google devices have better performance and user experience. Faster and smother when you compare with any Xperia (or other OEM's devices).

2- Long time and fast software update.

3- wow camera

4- extreme stroger for your photos or videos in Google Photos Service.

5- more secure than other android device. (security is depending to user)

6- better build quality when compare with XZ (yes! My xz is really B.S in quality section)

I had Nexus, Galaxy, Xperia, Sensation, WinPhone...

I never buy other OEM devices for my next smartphone!!! I want to buy Pixel (maybe Pixel 2018, and hope until 2018 google made own System on Chip!)

If you problem with pixel price, can buy OnePlus 3T or OnePlus 5 (flash sell started, and phone release 20th JUN!)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] bigbossa:
Hey GenomeX

thanks for your reply..I'm surprised that your xz has bad quality...I think your suggestions are great but out of my price range . I have seen some XZ's for around £270 with 12mnth warranty. I loved the camera on my G4 and I thought the XZ was a good one
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Well then I guess it depends on price. For that money I would get the XZ for sure, but if you have to pay a "flagship price" for it then don't bother. I fixed my Z3 and went back to using it instead of the XZ. The only thing I miss about it compared to the Z3 is the camera (although the Pixel destroys it) and the screen, everything else is worse. In short; if you can keep the Z3, keep it. Otherwise the XZ for 270 is a very good deal!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] jdc:
So, here is what happens:

Start the camera app

Still pictures work fine

Select the video mode

Record a video

Once I stop recording, the screen displays the save/delete/etc options for a brief second, then shuts down. No errors are displayed. After this happens, I can only make use of the camera app after a soft reset. If I attempt to use the camera app without resetting, the app appears, but never displays what the camera sees and then shuts down again.

It acts like the camera is failing when being initialized, but does not throw any errors.

Any ideas? All the threads I could find all deal with the 'camera failed to initialize' message, which is not my issue.

Same Problem After Upgrading to WM6.1 (27/2/08)

I've got the same problem but can't configure out how to solve. Can anyone help?:confused::(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
Looking through "settings list global", I noticed something that could be pertaining to WifiCalling.

wfc_ims_mode=1

I changed it with Tasker and AutoTools to 2 and then enabled and disabled airplane mode and it stuck!

I don't even believe you need root to change this setting.

---- NOTE ----

If you have never activated AutoTools Secure Settings, read this:

https://joaoapps.com/AutoApps/Help/...utotools.activity.ActivityConfigsettings.html

You might as well just skip to the adb section on this post (below) instead.

---------

A1: AutoTools Secure Settings [ Configuration:Setting Type: Global

Name: wfc_ims_mode

Input Type: Int

Value: 2

Read Setting: true Timeout (Seconds):60 ]

For those who don't know Tasker and AutoTools... Create a new task. Choose Plugins, then AutoTools, then secure settings.

Choose custom settings

Choose Setting type

Choose global

Ok

Choose Name

Fill in wfc_ims_mode

Ok

Choose input type

Int

Choose value

Fill in the number 2

Ok

Press the back button then the check mark on the top and the back button one more time

Press the play icon on the bottom left and wait for the small green circle on the left in the AutoTools line

Go to settings click more in the wireless area and see that it is now WiFi Preferred.

----- ADB INSTRUCTIONS -----

Enable ADB Debugging Mode in Developer options

Plug your phone in.

On your desktop, go to the command prompt and change directory into where you keep ADB.exe

If you have never connected your phone to adb, you'll have to allow it. Type adb shell and you'll notice a pop-up on your phone screen that asks for permission. Click yes and try the adb shell command again.

Then type this

settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2

Press enter.

For pros:

adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2

Look at your wireless settings (more menu) and you'll see that WiFi Preferred is active

-----------

Don't forget to toggle airplane mode and, it should be set to go. It persisted through a reboot, it will be interesting to see what else it persists through.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Thanks for looking into this. I will have to try it on my stock XL. Bugs the heck out of me that its cellular preferred. I am in an area where VZ signal is terrible so there is a 5 second delay when I answer the phone for it to kick over to WiFi calling.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SikYou:
Confirmed working. I did this with terminal emulator and am now showing WiFi preferred and WiFi calling is actually on and working.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
I must be doing it wrong. Opened up ADB Minimal, check to make sure my devices was connected. Tried typing in exactly what you said and I get "settings" is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I should be able to skip the Autotools and go direct to ADB correct?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
[MENTION=314930]iceman4357[/MENTION]

adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2

It will not read anything back to you for the command being completed. Just check your WiFi calling settings

Yes you can skip AutoTools config and go right for the adb method
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shawn haz root:
Awesome find! This worked for me too.

With Auto Tools, is there a way to disable mobile data when WiFi is connected and enable mobile data when WiFi disconnects?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Ahh...bingo.. forgot to put "shell" in there.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
If you have root or AutoInput

Root, Just use Tasker and the secure settings plugin disable mobile data

AutoInput and Tasker, find the System action for mobile data, then toggle it off.

I did it with the adb method. And it survived a power cycle. I assume it's good till a factory reset.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Nice find~. I did it by accessing the secret menu with *#*#4634#*#* via a one click app. Then I just turned off cellular radio power to and Wifi call worked just fine and was preferred by default. Downside is having to shut mobile data off each time. So thanks for the share!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dc/dc:
Tried the ADB method on a Verizon Pixel XL with a Project Fi SIM, and it does not seem to have made a difference in my menu options.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matty032:
If your using Windows, make sure your in the correct folder.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
You can do the same with putting it in airplane mode but that's just not conducive to people that have to remember to take it out every time they leave home or work
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
Well. That's most likely because Fi defaults to WiFi calling anyway.

Besides, this method I discovered was only tested on a Verizon Wireless SIM

Thanks for the info though
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dc/dc:
Fi defaults to cellular like Verizon, and I want it to prefer WiFi, which is why I tried your method and reported back.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
I wonder why this hack didn't work. Very odd.

Are you sure you did it right?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dc/dc:
I'm pretty confident I did, but I've tried it again and screenshot everything this time. Any thoughts? I'm on stock 7.1.2 with June patch.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
Is this the Pixel? It's tons different than my menus.

Try adb settings list global and you should see the prefix wfc_

Give me that screenshot
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dc/dc:
Yep, Verizon-sold Pixel XL with Project Fi SIM.

FWIW, I tried changing wfc_ims_enabled to 1 as I noted it was 0 and that freaked the phone out.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Update-- Only down side to doing this, at least for me on Verizon, is:

1.) Visual Voicemail does not work. I have to turn WiFi off for it to actually play the messages. It will show the message on WiFi, but will not play for whatever reason.

2.) I now have to dial an area code regardless of it being in my same area code. If not it will give me a Verizon Error recording.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SikYou:
I hadn't made the connection between WiFi and my VM not playing. Just tested, with Wifi switched on I get an error about VM can't download, turn WiFi off and VM downloads right away.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
I can understand the 10 digit dialing, but I can't understand the visual voicemail. Wonder if Verizon plans to fix that some time soon.

[MENTION=387928]dc/dc[/MENTION] .. Sorry to hear about that. You have an entirely different menu option than Verizon SIMs do and it's quite odd

FWIW, my device language is UK English, which I know changes the menus, but I can translate to American. :)

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matty032:
Verizon's visual voicemail only works on their cellular service. It doesn't work over Wi-FI. That's one of the reasons they don't give you the option to set it to Wi-Fi preferred.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] abuttino:
Considering the horrible service I get with VZW at my house (even with living in a major metropolis), I am more concerned about phone calls than I am about Voice Mail.

If I really needed VVM, I'd just use Google Voice to answer my voicemail
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] matty032:
Same here. Most voicemails are scam calls anyway. Being able to make Wi-Fi calling the default has solved all my call problems.
