does not look very good imo. a bit more contrast and thats it. Its also not sharper than samsung cam.

nothing special. no change. why do you have some many apps restricted?

There is no solution for this by Sony. The forums are full of it at the sony website.

Respect buddy. Your ROM looks the way i would love to see it by Sony. So much options to choose from. So sad that this DRM stuff is keeping me a bit off from the old days of flashing ROMs without any hesitation. Your ROm would be for 101% installed. You should get a job at sony mobile. But then...

Back in the xz3 compact days i had root and could do whatever i wanted. Had also xposed modules and so on and it was great. I cannot find any information if i can change the system font to roboto light without root on the xz2(c). Has anyone of you information for xperia and oreo if this will...

i'm asking myself if this script has significant influence on better performance compared to having already manually deactivated or uninstalled many apps myself in oreo via installed apps settings. also, this is probably for picture in picture support. i would not uninstall/deactivate this if...

there is no setting for this implemented in the firmware.

honestly, i even dont care if it throttles. its so fast that i do not notice it. i do not care about artificial benchmark results. day to day experience is much more important and for this the device is perfect. but i will send it for repair as the volume rocker and power button is loose so...

Does anyone of you also noticed that the phone is vibrating two times shortly after entering pin of the sim after a restart? there is no notification about this and im wondering where this vibration is coming from. In safe boot nothing vibrates, so it must be an app causing this. is there a...

the newer gboard releases from google have an issue with p letter and backspace. you must press the buttons deadcenter otherwise they will not react properly. i was always pressing half right side of the letter p. initially i thought that the touchscreen has an issue. but after installing an...

yeah the s9 feels more balanced since it has 5gramm less and its bigger so the feeling is a bit different. the xz2c feels like a car with very heavy motor in the middle or back. wonder if sony have put some bricks inside to make it so heavy.

it could be that this time the screen is more sensitive while not so precise like the ones used before.

maybe the display is not so well for the pen you are using. i noticed that the display was even reacting when i had two display protective films on it at the same time. try to play around with glove mode. maybe this helps.

i have the black one lying next to me. its a bit heavy after long term use. wish it would be a bit less heavy. sometime the edges of the usb-c port are irritating my small finger. would be better if sony have moved the usb port to the top. the bottom mic hole gets sometimes covered by the hand...

there was only black. i was also thinking about the silver/white one. Couldnt see it live. But i rather like more black at front and white or silver back so i have choosen the black one

I saw the xz2 compact couple days before first time in local store. was pretty impressed. It was the black one. Looked a bit like a small business phone. I was just to buy a Pixel 2 after i returned my galaxy s9 due to light leak. but i saw it and could play with it a bit and compare with Pixel...

this must be a bug with the modem or something. some german users are reporting this as well.

seems like its oversharpening a bit. for some areas with structure it looks good but the rubber bands are looking terrible. samsung has definitely reduced sharpening this time in comparison to sony

you only need to go to settings with 100% brightness and it should be directly visible. maybe change slighlty the viewing angle but in my case this was not necessary. i have contacted samsung online shop now about this. hoping for a flawless unit.

good for you. are you sure? hen there would be hope to get a replacement that does not have this

got today my S9 midnight black and its even worse than on the s8. light leak also on the bottom, additionally plus the light leak above front cam. also dust in the frame of the fingerprint sensor. oh samsung oh samsung..... at least the stereo speakers are fantastic i have to say. display is...

Well i tried it today the last time . was the 6th device. not happy at all. everything is now fine. no light leak above camera/iris and also buttons are ok. but: The screen is shifting its white so badly when tilting a bit the device on the Z-axis or Y-axis that this must be a joke. From...

It was at 5 different shops but they all said that this should not happen. Before i had a sony and there was everything fine from the beginning.

Just a quick report of my journey buying a S8 without any issues in Germany. I had now 5 S8 midnight blacks here. Every one had atleast one issue of rhe following. Yellow tint or green tint with non uniform white. Not removable by white balance correction. Light leak above front cam and iris...

I have returned this phone. Reasons: 1. The metal edge on the bottom is hurting/irritating my skin after long usage! Its simply too sharp. this is unacceptable for a compact phone. 2. Camera is not 600€ worth! Its distorted and Sony is not even announcing to make a lens correction profile in...

Due to the lack of alternatives in compacts only (iphone se which has to small display, no notification led and iphone 7 without headphone jack) i have preordered this little black powerhorse. In Germany you get additionally headphones when preordering (Value 220€-300€). the ones that were...

first i want to thank you for this. i appreciate this. why do we have to use the genesis kernel that is including drm patch when this method makes this patch obsolete? is ta_poc deactivating the drm patch within genesis during injecting the TA data? What happens if i want to update the rom to...

i bought a refurbished z3c again and had my battery replaced just because the z5c has this ****ty 810 snapdragon and the x compact a weird vibration motor (too loud) and several other reasons (no root on locked bootloader) and im fine. ok maybe i get no nougat on this but i dont care because im...

if someone doesnt find a exploit to root on locked bootloader then nobody will be able to backup ta data. i wont buy a sony phone if rooting means loosing features of the phone. z3c has support because the giefroot was once found and this enabled all dev to backup ta data with drm. even if...

all x compacts have this ****ty loud vibration motor. if you press rapidly buttons with vibration the motor gets louder and loder like a bee! additionally the letter "P" on the keyboard is often not reacting when you are not pressing centered from top the letter on the keyboard. it will not...

does anyone know where wajk has the included material design aosp browser from? i cant find the same version like in the rom here at xda.

:cowboy: gsmarenas battery test is personally not the best method. i rather like phonearenas. their method is much more realistic as they are not only testing video playbacks but also social media, browser and so on. usual smartphone usage.

this is only for unlocked bootloader?

the individual vibration is the same. the often and quicker you are pressing a button the more the motor of the vibrator gets crazy. sound like a bee on Speed. You must try to press the letter p probably from the right side. a bit through the curved glass. the galaxy s7 and z3 compact...

try it. the plastic glossy shell is not the problem. its nice to look at, looks a bit like ceramic and not so slippery as i thought but the build quality is again not the best. i hate the unsymetric gaps between frame. they just cant place the display equally into the frame. on the black (which...

i have bought yesterday the white x compact. unfortunately its a bit larger than the z3c. well im a bit disappointed but not because of the sd 650. the performance is quite good. its definately responsive and quick for a compact. but the bezel on the bottom is bigger than at the top. looks like...

does anyone know if there is a possibility to change the browsers green color to black or even custom color? this is the only thing that is keeping away using lollipop.

does anyone know if there is a possibility to change the browsers green color to black or something custom?

Hey guys, do you know if there is a xposed module that can open camera straight in manual mode when i use the camera key? i hate that it always opens in superior auto.

Huge thanks zxz0O0. 5GR60908YK048103M as a little thank you!! i appreciate all the work. with giefrootv2 i have now everything i want on my d5803. ta backup, working root. system r/w with the couple of commands. currently i have finally installed adaway. i have so much missed this app. and...

im pretty sure that graffixnyc will soon post some more detailed info and guide how to do this with all required download links.

cant find an english 93 ftf version to downgrade. all links are dead. do you think the commercial and journalists version via xperifirm is also ok for the root?

backup your ta at next step! btw this is the reason why this method was developed. then you can unlock your bootloader and do whatever you want. after this you can restore your ta partition wth the keys take a look at page 101 for more instructions...

finally. these are great news. i hope for new bloatfree roms for improved battery and with root fully working adblock apps. has anyone a working link to download the Germany 1289-4696 23.0.A.2.98? Im preparing myself for downgrading, ta backup and unlocking bootloader and the again back to...

Does anyone of you know how much battery can be saved if i turn off x reality? And where is x reality active? only in the album app by sony or also during ui of android or browser? i made some tests and you can see that after a picture has been rendered in the album app then the picture gets...

it is normal. but i really hate all the post processing algorithms by sony. the picture in the viewfinder is sharp but after saving it looks like softened by a filter. and i have turned the soft skin filter off. im pretty sure this is the result of removing grain. grain is away but you are lft...

cause the DE file is no longer on google drive. so i wanted to do it myself

if i create the FTF is it correct that i shouldnt include the loader.sin to the package? i have read this somewhere. Also, is it possible to backup the current branded firmware for guarantee reasons bofore i flash a generic one?

Hey guys, i just want to ask if its possible to unbrand a vodafone unit by flashing the generic country firmware without losing drm keys? is there any risk? so far i know that only unlocking the bootloader flashes the keys. but only flashing a firmware is ok?
