[Sony Xperia 1 IV] :
Bonjour à tous,

Désolé, je vais écrire en français car mon anglais n'étant pas suffisamment bon pour les termes spécifiques et techniques suivants 😴

Je me permet d'apporter un tips pour tous les utilisateurs d'Xperia 1 IV qui rencontre ce problème d'affichage car après l'acquisition du miens récemment, j'ai effectivement remarqué très vite une fuite de lumière verdâtre par le haut de la dalle dès que l'on affichait un fond d'écran avec du noir absolu/Infini (comme on peut le voir sur la 1ère photo du 1er post : Comme si notre barre de notification restait affichée en surbrillance). Pour un écran Oled 4K c'est fort dommage.. :/

Pour commencer, j'ai remarqué quand rebasculant en 60hz au lieu des 120, cette teinte verdâtre diminuée déjà de moitié. Ensuite, en touchant aussi la balance des blancs, de base en 'froid' (vilaine teinte grise au lieu d'origine) on peut la passer sur 'moyen' ce qui permet de rendre le blanc déjà bien plus correct et diminuant ces reflets vert sur les écrans full black.

Mais le problème était malheureusement encore présent au niveau de l'ecran d'accueil en haut. Jusqu'à ce que par chance, je trouve avec les paramètres de luminosité du téléphone une astuce qui corrige INTÉGRALEMENT ce soucis.

=> Mettez simplement votre luminosité à 90-92% (très important, ni en dessous ni au dessus) puis activez dans vos paramètres d'accès rapide le bouton "Écran moins lumineux". (ce qui sera pas plus mal pour la batterie..)

Et là... MIRACLE ! Tous les écrans NOIRS, à bordure très noirs/noirs profonds n'ont plus cette teinte verte : sur l'écran d'accueil comme dans les paramètres généraux de Sony en mode sombre. Et surtout vous pouvez garder le mode 120hz activé, plus de teinte verte ! 🌴👍

Voir PJ.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] Hildr:
[Ca reprends ce que Templa avait indiqué sur son post de juillet dernier. il n'y a plus de problème de noir bouché a partir de 90% luminosité. Mais qui veut garder son tel à 90% de luminosité, meme avec le paramètre écran moins lumineux? C'est juste inconfortable.

Sans compter que quand le téléphone chauffe, la luminosité est limité à 60% environ (le slider ne fait plus effet à partir de là). Il y a juste a vivre avec ce probleme de noir bouché. Pour la barre verte, je ne l'ai jamais vu avec le microsoft launcher, avec des fond d'ecran completement noir sur tout l'écran. Cette barre est surement le lanceur officiel qui a une barre gris très foncé qui apparait bouchée du au mauvais réglage de l'ecran, comme dnas les film sombre etc.]

That's what Templa said on its post from july, the green bar and the bloated black disappear above 90% brightness. But keeping brightness above 90% even with "screen less bright" is just not ideal as you don't have the auto adjustment and it's far too bright most of the time.

Also when the phone is getting really hot, brightness is capped at 60% (the slider doesn't do anything from 60 to 100%). We can't really do anything about it. About the green bar, I never had this happens with Microsoft launcher, my black wallpaper is fully black across all the screen even at low brightness. Never really tried the vanilla launcher that has probably a slight dark grey bar at the top that turn bloated by the poor screen calibration
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] :
Templa évoque en effet une action mais en gardant la luminosité "en adaptatif" coché derrière. Cela ne réglait pas le problème de barre verdâtre sur les fonds d'écran d'accueil full black et photo très sombre. Pour cela que je me permets d'expliquer la manipulation qui m'a permis de corriger le problème.

Mon Xperia ne chauffe pas en restant à 90% et avec le réglage "écran moins lumineux" toujours activé, le pic de luminosité est vraiment correct et n'est pas exagéré. Après oui, il est utile sur des utilisateurs comme moi qui aime les fonds d'écran Oled à la majorité très sombre. Sans devoir changer de lanceur.

Ce meme réglage avec des photos à couleurs intenses et vibrantes, peut effectivement faire beaucoup trop en luminosité mais dans ce cas là on n'est plus en présence de la barre verte en haut de l'écran d'accueil qui correspond au lanceur XPERIA. Donc dans cette configuration plus besoin de rester à 90% de luminosité:)

Hello any english here ? That is the no 1 rule on xda.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
Don't worry, all they're saying is that 90% brightness works around the issue, and that the "extra dim" quick toggle helps to reduce the brightness, something I and other people have already stated before in this thread months ago. So you're not missing anything by not being able to read French.

[Sony Xperia 1 IV] igotroot:
No issues on my USA variant. Screen is fine.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] mufunyo:
Happen to have a video of that? Just some footage of you sliding the display brightness between 60% and 100% should be sufficient.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] CazeW:
I got this problem with the latest patch on my XQ-CT54 version on 64.1.A.0.857. Before this I had none of these problems. I have been able mitigate it a bit with an app called "Screen balance". Also disabling hw-overlays had a limited effect. I've contacted Sony support, but I'm not holding my breath it will get fixed unless a lot of other people got the same problem with the patch.
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] DreadfulDrummer:
I have the green tint problem.

Below ~90% brightness level during normal use

Below ~50% while watching HDR video on YouTube

Below ~70% while 240Hz "refresh rate" (motion blur reduction) is enabled in-game

No green tint above 90% with extra dim enabled

I've just tried an app found on the forums here called PWMfree, which was created to treat flicker from pulse width modulation.

It needs Accessibility access and can override the system brightness level setting.

Somehow this prevents the green tint at all brightness levels.

This is definitely not a permanent solution as there are, clearly, some underlying problems with the display and still some colour anomalies and inconsistencies, including black crush, at various lower brightness levels set by this app but the blacks are at least black.

You may notice, if you alter the system brightness level, that, while moving the slider around below the 90% threshold, the green tint returns but, after releasing the slider, the display reverts to the brightness level set by PWMfree and the green tint is gone again.

This work around will have to suffice until I get around to sending it off for repair/replacement or returning it to the store.

I hope it can help someone else.

[Samsung Galaxy M12] imamic:
Great, thanks for info.

Do you know if this works with Android Auto? It doesn't show up when you are running but you can play music normally ... but no display on car screen, you cant change songs on wheel, etc.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] droidkoder:
This device looks great. Do you guys know if this will be launched with the Playstore in China or will this have a Global release in the near future?

I couldn't find the ROM for this device in MIUI forms, do you guys know if and when the ROM will be released so that we can get Root for this device?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] MariozPOC:
I bought it from Wanda mobile, Chinese/English languages and all Google matters installed. They are going to ship July 15th. I believe they'll create a global version but I don't think immediately.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
The Xiaomi EU forum will probably be the first to release a more generic ROM but in fastboot versions until a working twrp is produced.

Mine too is coming from Wanda and as said, it will come with a basic Google with playstore but I will flash the first Xiaomi EU fastboot ROM as soon as I can.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] MrOnder:
It might kind of a dumb question but is it possible to flash Magisk without a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) because if I can't root it as soon as I get it, I probably won't buy the phone haha
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
No phone has a working twrp on release. It needs the guys who can, to work on it and modify a twrp version to match the new phone. So everyone will have to wait for that.

Normally a custom fastboot ROM gets released until a working twrp is found and then custom ROMs tend to be in a twrp flash version and of course ability to flash magisk. Just hand on a while until a twrp is found before buying.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] wizpizz:
Thanks for the answer :)

How long do you think it would take for a custom fastboot ROM to be released?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
Probably a couple of weeks after release? Check out the Xiaomi EU forum for its release, as those are the guys who will have the first but also check out https://mifirm.net/model/thor.ttt for all the latest releases and twrp releases.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] wizpizz:
I had no idea that mifirm website had existed, I'll keep track. Thanks again!
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
This is exciting. I'm waiting for mine in Canada, bought internationally. Not sure where mine will be coming from. I usually buy internationally.

Hoping for a quick mod fastboot edition of the ROM to install for removal of junkware and inclusion of PlayStore plus better battery optimizations by default.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] maverixz:
Based in the US and I ordered one from Giztop.com on July 4th and received it yesterday (July 11th.) Looking forward to switching the Chinese Rom to another rom. It came with the Google Playstore.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] rogercrespo:
Do you think android auto will be available to this model?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
Was it the 12GB/256GB edition? Did you pay 1299 USD?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] avetny:
Wow u got yours very fast ! My one arriving on July 14. (Giztop)

Do you have VoLTE activated from the box....or you did it manually ?

Im gonna use on Tmobile. (sold my Vivo X Fold., which was a beast)
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
I'm ordering from PDAPlaza here in Canada. They mentioned end of July. 😔
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] avetny:
well u probably paid less than us ! Right?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
Yes this is true
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] tensux:
have you had luck with 5G? am using the mi 11ultra in the usa on t-mobile. it can access 5GNSA but not their 5GUC which is about 5 times faster.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] tee00max:
Ordered from Giztop back on 7/7 and its out for delivery today. Plan on using it on my T-Mobile line so ill report back once I pop my sim in it!
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
How much did you pay for it?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] chistery:
Anyone had theirs ship from Wonda yet?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
Mine shipped yesterday as part of first release. Should be with me in the UK on Monday according to FedEx
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] tee00max:
$1299, just got it in and setting it up as we speak.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
So jealous! Wish I had bought from GIZTOP. But then again, USD to CAD, import charges, international shipping. Probably work out to like 2-300 more.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] crótach:
What's it like to use a china-only device globally? I know they come with play store and english, so I don't see why it would be any different from the global release, I don't need other languages :)

Do you change ROMs eventually, or just get the regular updates for the chinese device?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
The Google services they install is a limited version. Location history is one thing that does not work, there are others too that just are annoying. I always switch to the Xiaomi EU ROM as soon as it is available. It is based on the latest official Chinese weekly or stable whichever branch you choose.

For me, I like miui call and contacts app and if you go Global you only get Google version.

As it sounds like the 12s series is only going to be Chinese mainland, there might not be a global ROM anyway. We will have to wait and see.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] gavinfabl:
It will be interesting to see what doesn't work on this phone, whether Google location history is still an issue, jf banking apps work, 5G etc etc.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] mamuraro:
Hi all,

Could someone tell us what doesn't work on this phone CN version?

Does google assistant (hey google) works?

how's the sync of google services in background?

IS the bootloader easy to unlock? and Can you flash or install other version of google services by now?

Thank you
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Staff_ionut68:
How do you guys manage to "live" without bands 20, 28b and 32? I am UK based, looking forward for this phone but unfortunately I have no experience with those 4G bands that are missing.

Will affect a lot the 4G signal?

I assume there are users of 10 Ultra in Europe able to advise on how they find the phone signal?!

Is there any workaround?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] luisvalino:
I have got a Chinese Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G since three years. My current carrier is Movistar in Spain ... and I haven't had any issues of missing bands.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Staff_ionut68:
Mate 30 Pro is missing only band 32 which doesn`t affect you at all in Spain as none of the spanish networks are using it.

When it comes to 12s Ultra, it`s missing 4 bands in UK.

5G - N20b

4G - N20, N28b, N32.

Having issues with the network coverage is my only concern regarding this phone.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] luisvalino:
Me too.

I'm thinking about buy it in a short time ... but I would like that Xiaomi release a global version.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Staff_ionut68:
I have no hope for this to happen to be honest...

If there's no option like 12s ultra or magic4 pro ultimate, I'll be forced to go with fold 4
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kyero985:
I ordered my Xiaomi 12s Ultra from Giztop last week and should be receiving it on Tuesday. Looking forward to doing lots of camera comparisons with it soon as I still have my Mi 11 Ultra.

Also keen to see how many firmware updates are waiting, as this has been rarely discussed - the phone's still fresh off the production line and ready for more optimizations and improvements!
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
Mine arrived today in the UK. It was only dispatched on Tuesday by Wonda.

There was 1 update waiting and yes, it has that mini google service installed but once the unlock process was started I was able to install and use Nova ( wouldnt let me change launcher until) so my desktop is back to my normal. I used mi mover to copy over apps and settings. All good for now, looking forward to my 168 hours to fully unlock and install the Xiaomi EU ROM when released.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kyero985:
I remember you from the Mi 11U board, things are going to get interesting again with the comparisons and feedback!

Have you already debloated your new phone? I plan on using the Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools before I even start migrating and transferring over my data if it's still compatible to remove some of the unnecessary background services and apps pre-installed.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
Maybe you can compile a list of the removed apps and services for us? Lol. 😉
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kyero985:
Good idea. Looking forward to doing this and if it bricks my phone, bring it on because that'll be part of the learning process before I publish my findings of what's safe to debloat and what isn't.

An extra few mins of battery life is welcome because I've done it extensively on my Mi 11U anyway!
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
Lol OMG my Mi 11U had so many bricks bro
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] avetny:
My never have one.

using 12s Ultra now guys. Is fast !
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Bert Trees:
Hello all,

Google keyboard installed, which works fine, but can't see to stop the mi security keyboard activating when entering passwords.

Contacts load but system shuts down when clicking on a name. Have to use contacts in the Google phone app.

Used Mi Mover like others but had to load the majority of the Google apps via playstore (which I deleted initially by 'accidently' doing a factory reset as I forgot which default apps I'd given access permission to).

Appears a great phone so far, haven't tried Android auto but can log into bank apps.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Bert Trees:
Error 22 for Android Auto.....
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] maverixz:
I got the 12GB/512GB for $1400 with express shipping
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] maverixz:
I use T-Mobile and it has mostly been saying HD on both sims so not sure if that is what they call 5G.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] maverixz:
Probably because I paid for express shipping. VoLTE was activated from day 1 but greyed out for both sims.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] avetny:
We have Lte+ on tmobile. Over 100mb download speed anywhere I go ! Nice
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] maverixz:
Mine kept failing to add my account saying "Can't verify. Try adding your account and device again" in the "Mi Unlock Status" section even though I am logged into my Mi Account on the phone. Any idea as to what could be causing this?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] tensux:
have you run a speed test?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] maverixz:
I just did after I saw your question and i used Ookla Speedtest app. I got 55.7 download and 15.1 Upload.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] tensux:
ok thanks, not t-mobiles 5Gug, at best its 5G nsa. same limitation as the mi 11 ultra
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] the_erwin:
What was the process for getting Play Store installed since?

Can you just install it from ApkPure, or is there a special procedure to get it installed?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] gavinfabl:
Xiaomi app store, the official playstore is in there. Install it and go from there.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] avetny:
You install google play store from "GetApps"
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Bert Trees:
Hi, from the Mi I downloaded the 'Edge' browser as couldn't see the Google download (as in Chinese). Via Edge, just downloaded the apk for playstore and then gboard etc..... Majority all working, WhatsApp doesn't always sync the name immediately when opening the app, but great phone overall (albeit android auto not working yet).
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] chistery:
In case anyone is interested, the standard codes for VoLTE and VoWiFi work

VoLTE: *#*#86583#*#

VoWiFi *#*#869434#*#*
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Bert Trees:
My bad, found it in the getapps store, just need to put Google Play Store in the search rather than Play Store.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Washo4evr:
Hi everyone,

I just returned my pixel 6 pro to Amazon (really unhappy with it - fingerprint sensor was terrible, battery life barely ok even with custom kernel...) and now looking at maybe getting a 12S ultra to replace my Huawei Mate 10.

I'm in the US with Tmobile (seems to be getting good reception in 4G LTE)

Where can I buy the phone? I heard about wandaphone? Is this a reputable source? Any other suggestions?

Thanks

But compare to my Mi 11, I think the new screen is not so good. I like the screen of Mi 11 more.

There will only ever be a global ROM if and when the S12U is launched outside of China (officially released I mean, not 3rd party sellers).

Last I heard there are no plans to release the Ultra outside of mainland China. This is a worrying trend - other brands e.g. Vixo's X Fold - are launching their most advanced models only in china only and with only the Chinese ROM available. (I blame USA -> Huawei ban)
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
I heard that it was down to chip shortages. Maybe the 13 Ultra will be a global release. Until then, I'll enjoy mine and now the devs at Xiaomi EU forum have a physical unit, a Xiaomi EU ROM won't be long too hopefully.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Dutch-Vivo:
That's right ... It's the USA Huawei ban !

They know that if they become to popular they would be banned as only Samsung and Apple are allowed to dominate and they would end up like Huawei which is really crippled in 2022.

Huawei would have been the world leader in 2022 if it wasn't for the bans.

It's not worth it for these brands to release these premium devices and run a risk.

Sure, they do release lower end tier models but these are far from a threat and usually are lower spec versions.

I am not expecting this to change and NO 12Sultra will ever be Global.

Just like the 11ultra and the 10 ultra that also were not global through the official channels.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Sathelp:
11 Ultra was global. At the least China, India, Indonesia, global and EEA ROMs, all official. May be not USA due to many other issues but it was classed as a globally released phone.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Dutch-Vivo:
It wasn't sold in several EU countries through regular carriers and the big retailers. Some countries did have it but they didn't have the big 512GB version and soon stopped selling it all together.

And yes North America didn't get it neither through official channels.

That's NOT global.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] dezborders:
I believe xiaomi.eu team are working on the EU ROM now so those owners wanting a "global" ROM can use that when it's available

Based on Chinese ROM but with the Chinese bloatware stripped out and all the usual Google apps and services pre-baked into the ROM plus international regions and language support included

(unlocked bootloader required)
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] gavinfabl:
I had the global Mi 11 Ultra. Xiaomi had plans to roll out even more but got hit with component shortages. It's the same with the 12 Ultra plus wanting to be first with the sensor and make a big splash. I'm sure at some point we will see other brands offering big sensor cameras options, which are executed better, as not as rushed.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] GodKingKnight:
Hey bro,

What were your results? Wondering if you got around to it. Also maybe the commands through ADB/Fastboot to debloat would be amazing.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] AndroPlus:
I created the Magisk module to add languages, so you don't need to wait for eu ROM if you are rooted 👍
