Yes bro.. It is just 2 weeks since you bought so probably you have the guarantee. So you should probably send it back.

Black border on the screen

Hi,
Today when i check my phone the display was not filling the entire screen. there seems to be a black border.. .i.e the display is 1 mm shorter than the actual screen size.... i dont think it was there before today... but may be i dint notice...
can u guys confirm if u too have the same kinda display ?
erhm,yes,same here.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
Are you getting this in all the apps and even on the homescreen as well? If your not getting it.. then I would suffice that it is just that app that your running now that might not be optimized completely on the screen grids/borders of your Note.
Now if your getting this as well in all of your apps including the homescreen/lockscreen.. My second question then would be... are you on stock ICS ROM or on a custom one?
Some custom ROMS have some light blue border that is faintly visible when your trying to look at it. Nothing of a big deal though (to me in particular) as I know this is just a ROM (and therefore a software) issue and not on the hardware one (which would give me much more of a headache if that really happens)

I have changed from note core to speed mod and vice versa... still no go... In fact I have also tried a nandroid backup of what I thought when it was working fine... Still the same... I have tried to wipe both caches as well.

Anyways I'm learning to live with it... But I am not sure if it's the default display size. If some more note users can check and give a reply it will be helpful as 1 already seem to be having the same display

It seems the V screen a little yellowish. It look like the S if I set the brightness low. Even at full brightness on V still look like 50% on S.

Pinch and Zoom issue

It looks like Sony messed it up again after it was prevalent in arc. The below video shows how the pinch to zoom works jerky and doesn't work properly at times. To better illustrate,
* I have zoomed in using default Album app
* Used QuickPic as well
* Zoomed in a website in Chrome
In all cases, the zoom doesn't work. It simply doesn't record my gestures properly. Many of the users have reported in the issue, I'm hoping myself that it's a firmware issue. But as time passes, it makes me think that my panel is faulty as well. Please report or suggest guys. If you haven't tried this yet, then please do across all apps which this zooming feature.
Steps taken:
* Ran Xperia Diagnostics app.
* Full repair in PCC and also in FT as well.
Note: The video is hefty at 78 megs, sorry in order to show you how clearly it was misbehaving, I couldn't compromise on quality. Please do watch.
Box link: https://app.box.com/s/mas3tj8gvaqctn19dq1n
Update: It's a hardware issue. Gave my device for replacement today.
I to have the problem..and other peoples i asked on xda said that its working perfectly so dnt know is it software based or hardware based..waitng for the software updates other wise will go to the service centre and get it replaced

I genuinely don't have this problem. My zooming is smooth with no jumps.
I'm running stock rooted 534.

Hmm have to say not come across this issue, pinching and zooming is fine for me. Things that you can try: Update the phone to the latest firmware to rule that out, if you still have an issue then it is a hardware fault with your panel, i really do hate how people are so quick to bash Sony. Things like this happen, hardware faults do occur from time to time, get a replacement if that is the case, warranty should cover it.

Buddy, I am not bashing them. I'm a loyal fan of Sony for years and will be. This thread was created just to create awareness about the issue because I found out no related threads with this problem.

They will and they should. I was told that if Z1 was bought a week back or within a week, they will replace the entire kit (box). As mine's 2 weeks old, I'll get the device only it seems. They've quoted me a max of 3-5 days. They told me that I'll also get a backup phone after 2 days.

Do you know what? When I gave the device, the issues I mentioned were the zoom and yellow hue issue. The rep didn't agree with the hue issue although he agreed with the zoom issue. But after he started using the device, two additional issues were found. SoD and random reboot. My Z1 started rebooting randomly.Phew, I gave it at last. The problem sheet of my Z1 has four issues in total now.
Haha..actually i know how to enable the sod issue just untick the optimize backlight option and restart the phone thats all the phone will be screwed till u tick the optimize backlight again anr reboot

Same, same same!!! I had the same issue too after disabling it. Don't worry. A few reboots should do. Also you can leave as it is for some time then try again. If not, then start the device - Power off using the red colored switch present in the SIM card slot. Reboot again.

Display and company behind it

Hello XDA community.
Me and my best friend have Xperia Z1 for a month now.
We saw some difrence betwen our phones (He have yellowish screen comparing to my White, and also under sunlight i have almost completly black screen, while he have more red color screen).
I did know the name of aplication which can check Who manufacture our display but cant remember.
Can anyone tell me if knows.
Thank you XDA. All the best.

Not too sure on the manufacturer, you could try the service menu.
*#*#service#*#*
As for the tint, if youve unlocked the boot loader (read up about it if you haven't) you can install doom kernel then modify your white balance and then install pimp my xperia from play store and mod it again. You can strike a decent balance using the two of them and you can nearly eliminate the yellow tint. Worth a try.
Just don't forget to research first if the boot loader is still locked.

Unfortunately we got carrier locked bootloaders, so that is not option for us.
That diference dosent bother us at all, we are just curious which company made our LCD panels.
We had similar stuff on Xperia S, where you can actually read who made it, but cant remember the app name :/
Anyway, thank you for your effort
You have to be Rooted and Terminal Emulator.
Here is the Original thread which explain how to do it.

This is mine, Sharp Renesas 1080p video, the other once can be JDC Renesas 1080p video.
Which one is the better one?
BTW, with Terminal Emulator you can check the ID panel even without Root, just type this code
Code:
cd /sys/devices/mdss_dsi_panel
cat panel_id
Hi, thank you for reply.

I have a yellowish screen too, I'm using these white balance settings, yellow tint is almost entirely gone and it also adds saturation, tell your friend to give it a try.
