[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] nort ycagel:
Lots of reviewers are calling the XZ3 display as one of the absolute bests (some stating its the best they've ever seen).

Even GSMArena that does lab measurements didnt say anything.

Its as if no one noticed anything.

Its straight out weird and that's why I tought I had a defective unit.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] iArvee:
I put my xz3 and my xzp side by side and I think I can see the "noise texture"? Not sure if I really see it, or just my mind thinking that there is one, or I'm just not seeing it at all. Nevertheless, if you think it's an issue, you can try having it sent for warranty? Some people have said it's normal, some have not.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] nort ycagel:
Try putting 50% brightness and open the settings app. It's a clear paper effect on my unit
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] iArvee:
Tried it out in the service test menu > display (all white screen). Also in settings as well. My brightness is up to at least 70% (and tried it with 50), and still not seeing the noise texture. I'm just going to guess now that I don't have that issue, or I really just can't see it. Sorry man.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] nort ycagel:
no big deal

its most likely worse on some units
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Fuzalert2k:
Don't see it at all, and I've had 3.

Looks as grainy (or lack thereof) as my xz2 premium and xz1p screen
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] nort ycagel:
Here's an update to this story.

In order to confirm the issue I had bought a second unit of the XZ3.

The graininess was still there. The only difference is that the second unit had slightly higher brightness at the same levels, making it appear slightly less evident.

The worst thing about this story is that you can't get a phone replacement since nobody seems to be recognizing the issue.

I have returned both phones since I can't accept this from such an expensive flagship.

I wanted to get a Pixel 3 but guess what? It uses a LG Display OLED aswell and there are countless reports online mentioning the graininess and how getting a good unit is a "lottery". Yeah, these days you need to be lucky to get a good unit of your 800 bucks favourite phone.

My experience with the XZ3 display has been horrible. A whole world of reviewers were calling it the best display ever, mentioning how it's the first Sony OLED (many people won't even believe this display is made by LG). Anyway, that's it. If you're a customer considering this phone just keep in mind that luck will play its role in getting a proper unit.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] skycamefalling:
Maybe it's not that only a few screens have this issue, maybe you are one of a few people who are oversensitive in this regard and others simply don't see it? I have the second XZ3 now but couldn't notice any issue as mentioned with none of the units.

For a "general issue with LG displays" there are only very few complaints.

For me, coming from a Galaxy S8+, the XZ3 really has the best display I've ever seen.

Is it possible to show the problem on a photo or video, maybe if I know what you mean I can also see it?
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] nort ycagel:
While I may consider myself oversensitive regarding display this issue isn't something that goes unnoticed.

I have returned both units but I have a picture I can show to give you an idea.

https://imgur.com/a/0Ls5NhD

This is a zoom-in of two pictures, both taken with the second unit of XZ3 I had.

As you can see in the first picture (htc 10) the text are normal and there is no graininess of any sort.

In the XZ3 zoom-in you can see the graininess

(which is homogeneous on the display - but the camera was able to focus it only near icons and text

) actually messing up around texts and icons, ruining what I'd call the "clarity" of the screen

Here's another zoom-in https://imgur.com/a/ZQObKSE

You can clearly see what it has done to the icon and text, messing up the overall definition.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] skycamefalling:
Yes, I can understand why you are unhappy with this. It seems like looking through a frosted glass or something.

I can definitely state that my XZ3 doesn't have this issue at all, the letters are sharp and clear, regardless of the screen brightness.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Daryl_97:
Tomsguide review mentioned the noise & I can only see it if I'm really close to scree

"The XZ3's display concedes some extra visual noise in the pursuit of increased clarity, but the end result still looks great.

Peering closely into the XZ3's screen, you can see a slight paper-texture effect that marks certain OLED panels, like those in the LG V40 and Pixel 2 XL. The Galaxy Note 9 and iPhone XS smooth over these artifacts, but do so in a way that makes on-screen content look a bit softer than what you'd see on Sony's flagship. In other words, the XZ3 concedes some extra noise in the pursuit of increased clarity, though the end result still looks great."

Tomsguide review

Again I can only see the noise if my eyes are really close to the screen
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] nort ycagel:
Every unit must be different. Even my two XZ3 had different brightness levels so the issue looked slightly less present on one.

LG OLED display on mobile are a total gamble right now.

Still, nice to see some review that mentions the issue.

I am using XPERIA XZ since 2 years and last 1 year i guessed after 8 update CPU Throttoling sometimes.. The problem is not about sd820 is about sony is so agressive with tempature even at 49-51 celcius degrees cpu is decreasing clock speed and cant go higher clock speeds at this degress i know that 49-51 degree pretty normal for mobile soc.

My phone is rooted and on stock firmware + omnirom android 8.1, i also install that mod using magisk https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/development/xz-xc-fsc-improve-performance-reduce-t3675981

But overall nearly same..

Whats the solution.. i feel like i am using half power of sd 820 sometimes...
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] RyTekk:
The mod won't work on omni or any other AOSP-based ROM since they use another HAL. I've checked thermal-engine on stock ROM since Android 7 -> 8 and there's no change in threshold and value limitation for CPU. I also have a thermal mod for AOSP-based (I made one for stock and posted it) but don't care to share it, if you wanna give it a try, tell me.

Hello all,

I am about to pull the plug on Verizon HTC 10 since they are cheap and have great DAC support.

Can't do Unlocked, as it's pretty expensive.

Mailing in to Sunshine is out of question, as it's unrealistic/impossible where I am located.

From the US carriers, which should should be my best bet, considering S-OFF support or any other features? Would be using it with GSM service in Asia.

Please help fast.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
I'm not sure what the question is, since you say you're getting a Verizon 10 but then also ask about other carriers.

Verizon 10 can only be S-off by mailing it in.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] jwt-1gnt:
I got the one from seidoonline, and it is good, but in my opinion you have to get used to opening (sliding) your phone with care. There are little tabs that hold the case to the phone, and for me it feels like the phone hits these tabs if you open it up too fast.

I'm not sure if it is the same for the boxwave one.

I ended up also buying the aluminum case, with the only downside being you have to open it up (the case) all the time to use the touch screen for the phone.

-1 for Seidio. It took over a month to get it since after I ordered it 3 days later they said it was backordered. 2 weeks later it finally ships. It will be the last order I place with Seidio.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] marcatarkon:
I love my Armor case from boxwave. I dropped it on it's corner the very next day. The case popped open, and the Tilt separated into phone and bat cover in the parking lot. Put them back together and running strong. Decent dent in the armor case, but I'm SURE the phone would not have survived otherwise, lol. You should see the pics of me dropping it since. Talk about battle damage :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Snowreaper:
I'll be getting the Seido case for my Tilt. The boxwave case looks like the cheapo stuff you can find on ebay for 1/4 the price.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] user1919:
Hi there,

Long story short, i've got BLA-L09 which was branded, i wanted to debrand it using a box, and I ended up without Enable OEM unlock option in devs options, and 0EXD build. None of the boxes i've got can perform anything more than "read info" (and it isn't full either) all the boxes respond that they either do not support chipset or security patch, even though i used same boxes to change vendor on some other BLA-L09 and it worked perfectly fine.

Phone doesn't have SD slot so i can't flash it this way, Firmware finder doesn't work either, it creates VPN server but phone can't find any uptades. I can't flash any custom recovery without enabled OEM unlock, but i can't enable because there is no option to do so. Any ideas what to do in this case?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] I<illam0n:
Running 5.1.1

Just rooted and installed multisystem kernel. (Not sure if this is tw but I think it is.)

I was under the impression that the spen would work with the kernel is it my hardware or software? Pen does not show on screen or do anything. It knows I pulled the pen and opens the menu but no dot shows up.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ninjasinabag:
If the menu shows up, it's working.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] I<illam0n:
When I remove the spen the hardware button in the phone triggers the menu. The stylus does not show up on screen and the hardware button on the stylus does not trigger the menu. So essentially it doesn't see the stylus. I was wondering if this is likely hardware issue related? It acts as if it's not sending the charge through the screen for the spen. (that is my understanding of how it works.

I did take my note 4 apart and shim the memory chip, then I took it apart a second time and shimmed the connectors with pieces of a business card because the stylus was not working but it didn't fix the issue.

Verizon note 4

5.1.1 rooted multisystem kernel

I was reading that a modified kernel would not work with spen but I do not know from experience.

I just tested spen hentering enter *#0*# for testing menu and it does not see the pen I believe it is hardware.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Poopsterbate:
Im on latest los. Installed Viper had some distortion problems on calls and notifications only changing the names of the files in vendor/lib&lib64/soundfx worked for me. Do not delete those files that creates some other problems.

On twrp mount vendor and add ".m" at the end off every file.

EDIT:This workaround will make your Bluetooth audio unusable.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] dudumaroja:
Please don't give this advice.. this will break Bluetooth audio

Just use a older version like 2.4.0.1..

I tried Bluetooth as u said and just found out it's not working. Sorry about that I'll edit. However following your advice i installated 2.4.0.1 and tried but it was the same result for me no Bluetooth audio. There were no sound distortion on ringer tho so no need to change file names.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Brobhz:
Still same problem on V4A v3.4.2, 2.5.0.5
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] private investigator:
Boot into TWRP. Mount vendor. Then use file manager in TWRP. Go to vendor -- lib64 -- soundfx and rename volumelistener.so to volumelistener.so.bak. Then go to vendor -- lib -- soundfx and rename volumelistener.so to volumelistener.so.bak. Then reboot to system. Now everything should work fine. Flashing new vendor, firmware will break this workaround. So after flashing new vendor, firmware you'll have to rename the files again.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Brobhz:
But will it break Bluetooth audio?

Hello guys, I am new to the world of Rooting and ROM flashing. So I have a few questions that I cannot solve by myself (been trying and searching stuff for like 2 days and still can't get back to Stock).

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930FD, in the box it says SM-G930FZSUXSG) which has been manufactured in Vietnam but I'm using it in Argentina.

What is troubling me is that I cannot go back to stockROM after installing LineageOS (latest version to date) via TWRP and I'm struggling to find a solution because I feel lost in a sea of information that I don't quite get pretty well as a newbie to this.

¿Could you please help me out? I really need to go back to Stock ROM :(

By the way I can still access to TWRP and LineageOS

What I tried to date:

Restoring a backup for Oreo android from TWRP (not working)

Installing the stock recovery via Odin (not worked, maybe I'm doing something wrong)

PS: I dont know my PDA nor CSC since LineageOS didn't had this original information.

PSS: My device is rooted

Please help me :(
