    Post Z5 E6653 Gold - in Canada question

    I recommend buying it locally. I bought my Chrome Z5 premium from a local store called Swiftronics in Mississauga. I think they also carry the Gold one. I am also on Rogers and mine works perfectly no issues. They also have a return policy so if anything you can return it locally too.

    Post Z5 Premium display white balance - heavy blue tint

    Just out of curiosity, why does rooting the phone cause this? I have a rooted z5p and my dad has an unrooted one and I do notice a difference in the display similar to what is shown in the OP. I do have the DRM-emulated keys on my phone though so I thought that would make it similar to how it was.

    The developer is going to fix that in the next update, but basically You can't have Xperia X ui and small apps, its only one or the other. So for the next update he is making Xperia X ui optional, which will allow us to use small apps.
