[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] P$YCH0:
Hi everyone,

I am not talking about the distortion issue here.

I just got my device and have taken a few quick photos, mostly on AUTO. For some reason some of the photos look extremely grainy and of low quality, others seem better. To be honest I don't know what to make of it. I will have to do some more tests in better light conditions but to be honest I was quite shocked how bad some photos look in comparison to my GFs Huawei P10 for example. My HTC M9 photos felt more sharp.

It feels like Xperia is going crazy with the post processing and blurring/graining everything up. Just look at the computer desk photo, it looks like someone overused photoshop filters.

I have attached a few photos for reference.

Is it just me or is this the way the camera behaves?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Illux:
No, it's not just you. I have no idea how reviewers ended up calling the camera "one of the best shooters around". Considering this is a flagship device, the camera sucks. Plain and simple. I'm getting more n more pi**** I didn't chose the S8 and put my trust in Sony.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Artyomska:
I get the same results on the Sony camera app. Try to use Open Camera, at least for me the difference is very big, especially on detail.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Tuerkay:
The Post processing is totaly random and hilarious. Currently using Open camera and snap camera. There ist still some unwanted Post processing but Not as much as before.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RealEvil:
Hi,

Other than the default LG launcher (which I dont use - I use Google Now Launcher), nothing - no LG apps - no 3rd paty apps run full screen... Is this normal or something weird about my device software?

I have set all my frequently used apps to "Scale" to 18:9, rebooted many times etc but they all run with a solid white or black home button arrangement. I was expecting the LG apps to run full screen but they dont either... I even tried going back to the LG Launcher, rebooting, trying apps but still the same result.

I would really like full screen apps with a transparent home button section... is this possible?

Thanks!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
It's normal the navigation bar is always solid background unless the app developer codes an app so it becomes transparant, which is very unusual in my experience.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] robbyyyyyyy:
I think its a problem with Google Now Launcher, I was experiencing the same issue. I switched to Nova Launcher and the navigation bar is transparent like its supposed to be. Nova Launcher just added Google Now support to the homescreen using a companion app that lets you swipe to the google now feed, so now its basically a better version of Google Now Launcher.

Here's a link to the article to setup Google Now with Nova Launcher

I made a thread about this in January and i was told to wait and google more.. Well considering that what i was doing this none stop prier to making the thread. but as the thread was closed I couldn't make a counter argument.

Well it's now June and I still have the issue. But this time i have pictures and a video of what my phone is doing.

Before someone closes the thread and telling me to use more google, i would actually appreciate more useful advice. They told me to wait, and here i am.

This might be no surprise but i have a few learning difficulties, so i easily make mistakes. And very stupid ones at that. If anyone is willing to help me fix my phone (if it is fixable that is) I will be very appreciative.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealWelder:
That is the bootloader, not the recovery mode. You have fastboot available on the device, do you have adb and fastboot on your computer?

Is the bootloader locked or unlocked? You should be able to flash TWRP and/or stock firmware through fastboot... if your bootloader is unlocked.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jadcxx:
Hiya All,

Been a member of XDA for over 4 years but lost the account info and email address.

Bought the shield 2017 yesterday and so far I love it, it is my first ever android TV box and obviously the streaming part from PC was the nail in the coffin which works great with my 1080.

The only downside I had found and am kicking myself I didn't look into it a lot more was the google store, didn't realise the apps would be so limited! and just assumed coming from an android phone it was be the same.

Most of the apps on there are ok and there isn't much else I am missing but I would of loved to have had ITV HUB installed which you can't.

I have been on this forum and looked at the threads and most of the links are missing now for the modified ITV HUB APK and I have tried side loading the ITV HUB from usb from the store but I just get " this app has stopped working "

One of the ITV HUB apk's installed and opened but obviously the orientation was mobile view and was difficult to navigate.

Hopefully someone could help or point me in the correct location

thanks again all

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ac845:
I'm new to this forum and I hope to get some help from the community...

Device:

Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6833), Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) rooted, Built: 14.6.A.1.236 , Developer's mode & USB-Debugging enabled

Problem:

After updating SuperSU to 2.82 I had a bootloop. Did shutdown using small red button, restarted using recobery mode of TRWP (2.8.7.0) and did factory reset. Everything works again (WLAN, Apps, SD card access) but except the SIM card which is not recognized. IMEI not shown "About the phone", but correctly shown in diagnosis tool

Already tried:

- SuperSU 2.82 installed manually via TWRP. Works.

- Restored a full backup Sony PC-Companion, no success. Same with a Snappea backup.

- SIM proofed with different cell phone, works

- Other working SIM card tried with this phone, no success

- I blew a couple of times into the SIM card slot, no success

- Flashed the full ROM (14.6.A.1.236, rooted), no success

- Tried another factory reset, no success

I guess, there is a problem with the modem driver for the SIM card reader. Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm a newby to root & stuff but I'm hoping, that somebody could help me. I'm very thankful for any hints!

Greetings from Germany!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Not sure how the imei got tweaked by updating the supersu..?

But I had the same bootloop with the new supersu on latest stock rom rooted.

Manually removing all root and manually flash the new via twrp didn't work for me either.

Flashed the old supersu and it boots fine.. so I just keep the update in playstore and don't press it.

Perhaps I will repack the supersu app to generate a unique file signature so it won't show up in play store on installed apps.

Perhaps the simcard got tweaked in the tray when you pushed the red button somehow? ...I dunno. Just a thought.

I have had issues with mine too. The tray is very flippy floppy and have gotten stuck several times inside the phone.

But have you tried flashing stock rom with flashtool?

http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

Make sure that none of the options is ticked in "exceptions" so all partitions being flashed.

Do you know how to use flashtool?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ac845:
Hi SUPERUSER, thanks for your quick reply!

It can't be the SIM card itself, since it works with my other phone. Also tried my GFs SIM in the C6833, also failed. Should be a ROM problem.

Tried to go back to SuperSU 2.79, 'cause that's how this mess all started (updating SuperSU), have the bootloop again, went back to 2.82. Works fine except the undetected SIM card.

Also tried 2 (probably dirty) modem fixes, this caused also loose of IMEI. Went back to my full backup using TWRP, where everything works (IMEI ok) except SIM card problem.

Just installed the flashtool, but it says, that the bootloader is locked. Unlocking it officially thru Sony website (developer.. sonymobile..com/unlockbootloader) requires installing full Android Suite (1.9GB) and further driver installtion using SDK manager. Is this the only way to use the flashtool? Other question regarding the Flashtool: Tutorials say: Copy ftf-File into the "firmware" folder, but there is no folder with this name. I checked the entire flashtool folder tree.

Isn't it possible to flash ROM in zip-format only using TWRP? Should I give DualRecovery a try too?

Thanks a lot! Appreciate your help!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Whats causing your problem is probably that your bootloader is locked.

But I'm not getting how you use twrp and flashing files if the bootloader is locked?

You can flash stock roms with locked bootloader. It dont require to unlock it.

You don't need to download the whole SDK for just using fastboot.

If you need fastboot you can download fastboot from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

After install choose the right driver for your togari in device manager to "Android bootloader interface"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ac845:
Thanks again!

Fastboot sucessfully installed using your link, but I have a driver problem. The device works fine connected to the pc using Sony PC Companion oder Snappea. Do I need a different driver for running fastboot? Found "S1Boot Fastboot" in "Devices and printers" on my pc and I'm aware that the correct driver has to be installed manually, just don't know where to get it. Google didn't help much, I'm only found a zip on Sony web, which probably does not contain the one file I need for running fastboot.... Any hints?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
PC companion is screwing you over because it has its own signed drivers. Perhaps these are proprietary and don't work with universal fastboot.

If you installed the 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 from the thread I linked AND installed the google driver when you were asked if you wanted.

Connect your phone in fastboot. Then choose the driver manually from a list. Scroll down to "Android Device" and select "Android Bootloader Interface"

You will get a warning that the driver might not work. Click yes and soon the device will be found and your phone will respond to fastboot commands.

If you need all drivers for example the flashmode driver you can download and install flashtool.

Then you get a folder with a driver pack in C:\Flashtool\drivers. The executable contains all the drivers to every xperia device.

Edit:

If you ever need the driver pack from flashtool I uploaded it to mega:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ac845:
Cheers! Couple of steps further! Drivers installed, fastboot detects the device now, I unlocked the bootloader successfully using fastboot. Device now recognized by the Flashtool too.

How to flash the custom ROM now? Better using fastboot or the Flashtool? I'd prefer the flashtool due to my limited cmd experiences. But I don't know how to select the FTF-file, which I already downloaded.

Don't know how to add screenshots here directly, so I added 2 attechments: Flashtool Main Screen and Folder sctructure of Emma. There is no "firmware" folder where I can drop the FTF-file to.

If using fastboot, ftf-file won't work, right? Zip-Files only?

How to proceed? Cheers, again!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ac845:
Followed all your instructions. Custom ROM flash with (the correct) Flashtool was succesful. Now comes the hopefully magic moment, where I'm gonna reboot and see if SIM card will be detected....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ac845:
SIM card NOT detected. I'm freakin' out!

Again tried the SIM card in 2 other phones, no problems. Tray and contacts shouldn't be the problem either, because I didn't to anything with SIM card and tray when the problem came up first after the stupid update of SuperSU and the following bootloop. Just pressed the tiny red panic button to shut down and went into recovery mode.

Just tried to use some thin folie between the tray and the SIM card in order to have some more pressure between SIM card and the contacts, failed.

Is it technically possible that a full custom ROM flash (with no ticked exceptions) still not formated the probably damaged SIM card modem portion/driver?

User pintspin has the same problem as above and he is much more into the topic than I am.

Still any hints? Wanted to avoid buying a new smartphone, still love the Ultra C6833 and its large screen...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I will ask him if I can obtain the ones that worked for him/her.

The modem should be flashed when you flashed the ftf file if the baseband portion is included.

And this:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/help/aosp-rom-sim-detection-t3185526/post62481536

I know I have used one other way back. It was two zips. You flashed them in a specific order or the phone would not boot.

But I can't find this one.

I uploaded my own modem files. Its the same files that is in the zip above but with the stock rom Im running.

Im guessing it might do something because its working on my phone. And its the same files that is being flash in the above zip file.

File is not flashable. Unzip and replace the in system/etc/firmware. Permissions 644. And reboot.

Or you could do it from twrp. Take a bit longer. Manually delete the three files one by one and then copying the files one by one.

Setting the permissions to 644 one by one.

[MENTION=5084869]SUPERUSER[/MENTION] done , uploaded here the working modem patch strangely from a different variant but worked fine... thanks for above help as well.

I can confirm that the attached modem patch is working perfectly fine ... on AOSP build ( 6.0.1 )

(*) [MENTION=8345230]ac845[/MENTION] steps i suppose you already have your system.img and boot.img

Flash the aosp Rom images ( system.img ) and (boot.img) via fast boot OR if you dont have images of stock then just flash any stock rom zip from recovery i used twrp recovery after FULL WIPE OR if you even dont have both then just use Scrubber port GPE for togari 6833 z ultra

don't reboot

Flash the attached modem patch i.e. C6802_modem_patch.zip

reboot to system

on first boot it will take a bit ( 1 minute may be ) to detect and register the sim.

I have finished worked on my rom as well , will going to upload it hopefully today ... its purest aosp stock , can be rooted and gapps are also tested working fine , there is no Imei base band issue as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ac845:
I (partially) understand, what you guys mean, but I don't know how to proceed and thus have to ask more beginner questions:

As recommened by SUPERUSER like 2 days ago I flashed a the .276 stock ROM. The device is of course unrooted now, bootloader open. I don't have a recovery mode (f.i. TWRP) where I can flash ZIPs. What would be the easeast way to flash a ZIP-file in this situation? I could try flashing with fastboot, but I don't know where to get the right .imgs. Wished I still had TWRP though. Sorry for bothering you, but for beginners like me it's too complex sometimes...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Download this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24415232478676273

To make it more simple. Rename the file to "recovery" without the quotes when the download is finished.

In your download folder on your computer hold down shift on your keyboard and right click on an empty space.

In the right click menu select "open command window here".

In the cmd. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

Turn your phone off. And boot it to fastboot. Hold volume up or down and simultaneously connect the usb cable to the computer.

If you did it right the phone should have a blue led on.

Now press enter on your keyboard inside the command window.

Hopefully you will see something like flashing and then finished.

How to boot to recovery?

Pull out the usb cable.

Now hold volume down and press power button.

When it vibrates let go. A few seconds you will se the twrp ui.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pintspin:
In addition to super user post above : For fast boot you need to press volume up and then connect PC USB cable when your PC is on and USB cable is connected to it ( you also need yo ensure that USB debugging is turned on ) goto phone setting and you need to press 8 times on build number in your about phone n phone will open a hiden option called developers option under phone settings and goto developer options n under that option you need yo select USB debugging on .

Unfortunately it's not over yet!

SIM still not detected very often, but sometimes it does. SIM works for some hours but then it's accidently not detected anymore in locked-screen mode or in the middle of operation, app usage etc. Rebooting with detected SIM works in 1 of 5 times maybe. Restoring full backups doesn't make any difference.

Had the idea that it is a temperature problem and cooled the device down in the frosting fridge for a couple of minutes, but rebooting incl SIM detection works more often, but not always. Beside SIM problem operation is normal, no problems with WLAN, apps etc.

IMO it can't be a software bug since problem occures not generally. Before I'd send it in to Sony I wanted to ask the community if you have any ideas or recommendations?

Cheers!
