I love the gestures so far on the o2x ;-)
Nice!
Maybe the screen isn't that bad compared to the new super amoled plus on the galaxy s2?
Epic fail...
I need at least 11 point multitouch.... 10 fingers + nose.
They might as well not make a phone at all if it only has 10 point multitouch :-(

You can even try 12-point multitouch if you're complementing those fingers+nose with your...

ISP LCD vs Super Amoled Plus.
That isn't even fair.
Super Amoled's already beat it.
Super Amoled Plus just destroys it.
But you all forget that the Galaxy S series support unlimited touches!!! D:

Because more than 5 points multi touch is needed on a phone?

Or the sony ericsson x10 mini pro who has a multitouch driver but the licence is only limited to singletouch.hardware is fine but it will not or can not be supported. Having a 10 or unlimited touch screen does not really matter at all its what is supported by the company what counts.

Hello all!
I've picked my Nexus 7 today from CPW, even though I knew of the existing screen issues. Before buying it I had the time to have a quick look at it, just to make sure hardware wise was fine. Well yes, it was fine, but the colors are not calibrated. I know it's not a new thing, but at least it's not a hardware problem (or at least I hope it's not! ).
I was wondering if any of the apps/mods available in the forum/play store can actually help with the colours of the screen? I know a few years back Nexus One had issues with colour calibration and Nook as well, and there were a few mods developed which helped with the problem.
I'm happy with my nexus and I don't really want to return it, as the new one might have excellent colours but other issues would be present.
Would appreciate some suggestions or we could simply start a discussion on the topic and what could be done about calibrating the colours.
p.s. Apologies if this is not the right thread!
I would try trinity kernel, if u flash his kernel and buy his app u can do what u want to the colors. Its still alpha tho. Im using it on my gnex and its awesome.

Screen Adjuster helps a little, but doesn't do anything about the poor gamma. And unfortunately it makes the UI a little laggy. So probably not worth it. I haven't seen anything else so far.

The trinity kernel with the tkt app does not have the option yet for color calibration.

I must be seriously lucky, the screen on my Nexus 7 is brilliant. I have the Evo LTE, and I'm accustomed to nice screens. I get tons of compliments every day by people looking at my tablet and saying how crisp the colors and text are. I'm usually the one with the issues, but the sun shines on a dogs ass every now and then.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it now and i could actually achieve satisfying results but as u said the performance is seriously affected! At least this proves the colours can be fixed with software. I hope Google comes up with a fix of some sort !
About the crisp and clean screens... I've a galaxy s3 as well and I don't even want to compare it with the nexus!

I shined a light on my dog's ass and I saw no improvement in color response. What other steps did you take?
The gamma on mine is way off (down around 1.2 at 48% for me), but as I posted before the colour temp (on mine at least) seems excellent. Swings and roundabout I suppose. Unfortunately Android doesn't have colour management baked into the OS (neither does iOS) so there's no really practical solution at present. If you want proper calibration on a tablet sometime soon I guess the only option would be to get one of the x86 Win8 tablets at the end of the year.

I think CM ROMs usually offer calibration in the display menu? I think the upcoming CM10 will have it
My cellphone is more vibrant
But it has an amoled display. I usually run the Nexus at 25%, to save battery and because I find it too bright ( indoors anyway) to keep looking at it when it,s at 75 - 100%. If they do send a OTA fix, I might have to drop it down to 10%
Here's a screen shot at 25%. I don't know if a screen shot is accurate to show my screen brightness, but I'm good with the brightness and color.

there's is less wasted space on the bottom of the phone (less bezel?)

Greetings, folks!!!
I am quite of doubtful if i were to buy a Xperia Z, or i should stick to Samsung(S4 or Note II), because of it's easyness or not to flash custom ROMs or kernels...
I am aware of the bootloader of Xperias, but the offer is good enough to not let it go (the same for the S4 and Note II)...
Any special advice i should consider before i purchase the phone?
Thanks in advance
Sent from Quo'nos via subspace transmission
Hi mate,
If you really care about the bootloader and enjoy flashing roms or kernals just don't choose any Sony Xperia. In my perspective, Sony's products represent the highly innovative trend in terms of design and functions. The reason i chose Xperia Z is that i admire its appearance a lot and dislike Samsung‘s plastic texture. My answer may not answer your post but i just want to say that the choice depends on your taste and fun on the phones.
Don't, go for the galaxy, much better.

I guess it's all a preference, Galaxy S4 is newer than the XZ so it's got the advantage in terms of hardware, although it is more expensive for that reason. They are both great phones, I don't think you will be disappointed with neither of them unless you are really picky, if you can try to hold both in your hand to try them and pick the one you feel you will like more.
go for S4 or HTC one...this phone....I stand by what i said..not much of upgrade from S3 US version

Go for the S4 if you want to enjoy your phone.
Nothing special about the Z,just the water resistance and the design.

who care about crap ware...chances are you gonna flash some other roms anyway...most of the crap ware come from carrier base...at least for tmobile USA.
The only real advantage that S4 has over XZ is a battery life ,thanks to amoled display (which is also a downsize if you use the phone outside a lot).
Everything else is matter of personal choice. But as they say , changes are good in life , so why not
Luckily, i am not on T-Mobile, in fact, any USA carrier.

I've played with both the ZL (=Z I would say) and the S4 quite a bit. They're both great phones but I can at least say why I elected not to get either. I was actually 90% sold on the Z before getting the One. My big phone obsession is the screen, and that kind of makes sense given that the screen is 50% of the phone. I have been in the past and continue to be spoiled by apple's excellent screens so that's the standard I set. I love everything about the Z but the screen was a huge disappointment for me. The colors are washed out and the viewing angles are horrendous. Yeah, I know, nobody needs to view their phone horizontally, but the angles are so bad that even tilting it slightly wrecks the image to my eyes. The only time it improves is when you play a video, but the viewing angles still suck (bad for sharing a video with friends) and bravia engine is only active with video playback. The only other issue I had was the permanently locked bootloader (maybe that was just me though).
As for the s4, I really don't have any positive opinions on it. It just feels like a toy in your hand (if you can grasp the slippery damn thing ) and all the software "features" included are more or less gimmicks no one will care about in a few months. And touch wiz is, as always, a compete train wreck.
Regarding a choice between the two, I'd take the Z in a heartbeat. The only way the S4 is better (to me) is the screen because it has much better color and contrast than the Z. Few members of the public would criticize the screen the way they do with the Z. Though the s screens still have a long way to go to approach ips lcds and it's pretty dim. Even the battery life and cpu practical use is better in the Z because the 1.9gHz processor is almost constantly throttled lower because it hearts up so quickly, which also drains that big battery damn quick (and for some reason GSam reported the "efficient" display as consuming 70% of the power even when dimmed... I don't even know...
There's also something to be said about design, which one is stunning and the other is old news.

I would go for the Z without a second thought since I can't stand TouchWiz. Regarding Android 4.2.2: The Xperia Z PAC ROM based on 4.2.2 runs great and offer productive features, not all those gimmicks that are provided by TW.
The only S 4 version that I would recommend is the Google Edition since it runs vanilla Android. The selection between that one and the Z is a matter of preferences and taste.
Hey, long time xperia user here from Z -> z1 -> z2 -> Z3
Right now using my Z3 with out any issues but kind of broke atm. Get a best deal to sell my Z3 & the Z3 compact is considerably cheap in my part of the world.
So, would you guys recommend me to switch to Z3 compact or go to other brand which offers rich features like this. What are the drawbacks in the compact design? performance wise will the z3 compact match with Z2?
Thank you.
Z3 is nice, but mine had some serious GPS issues. Everything else was perfect.

I still regret buying the black one everytime i look at the white one. White looks the most premium among all the variants (My opinion) . I'm still happy with my black one though. You can go for orange or green too if you want unique colours

I agree with previous posts. No overheating, the battery is great, the camera is brilliant (in manual mode), and everything works (mostly) without issue - whatever problems I have had the answers have been readily available here on these forums.
Regarding colour then I had an orange phone, which looked pink in my clear case. After the lanyard hole sprung a leak in a glass of water (as a result from taking a bunch of photos the previous day in a freezing/frozen river) I changed to a black phone and I am not regretting the switch in colour; though a green one would have been nice because then the chances of grabbing the wrong phone from a table would lessen.
Now I stay away from subzero underwater photography and all is well.
Thank you everyone for sharing your opinion :good:

I set the camera to 15.5MP. The focus is on multi and also the metering. The WB I change depending on the lighting and the I tend to have the EV a tick or two below center.
When you have the time you should try and take a bunch of photos of the same subject while changing the WB and EV between shots.
I generally have the ISO on auto but you should play with that as well but the ISO only goes to 800 if you set it manually in any other mode than 8MP, but 8MP allows for 3200 ISO (the full 12800 ISO is ONLY available on Superior-auto)
The manual mode always remembers your last settings.
Hope this helps.
P.s. Here is a Ladybug larva that I photographed with the Z3C (resized because it is attached)
Now i am tempted to go the other way, and trade in my Z3C for a Z3, reason being, my eyes are starting to get old, and a bigger screen will help me out. Decisions Decisions
