Wonder is Sony bringing 4k to z1?? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Downloaded sony's timelapse camera app from Sony select and noticed there is a 4k feature you can choose, is this a clue 4k will come without the need to root device?

I dont think so, because that app is not sony's official app. I think its just their(SUKROS or something ) way of promoting the app. Because 4K option in the app is not free, its a paid feature.

Never going to happen to be honest.
The 4K & 120fps MOD works with the newly released .108 firmware.

It's timelapse, most likely it just takes picture of size of 4k resolution (3840*2160 or 8MP) and puts them together to make it look like a long duration time lapse.

We all know it's doable (TimeShift and 4K), sony would show their support by doing so.
But, I honestly don't think they would either!

It works when viewing pics on the album, watching movies with the standard video player. It also works on youtube and with some 3rd party video players that support hardware decoding, such as MX player
It also should be noted that when you unlock your bootloader, you also lose BE.

No. If you unlock your bootloader it will only work with Adobe Reader, Busybox and PowerAmp. :silly:

I will explain better for you...
Some guys here on XDA reported working be2 on Movies and YouTube after unlocking, because of this I made this post trying to confirm this...
Just to be clear, Bravia Engine 2 works only in the stock gallery app, and maybe in Movies too, but not in any 3rd party app.

Hi,
According to Sony...
"For still images, it is only supported in Gallery app in GB SW, and in Album app in ICS SW. It is not supported for 3rd party image viewer applications.
For video, it is supported for any third party app which uses Android MM Framework (including YouTube app) as well as our preloaded video viewing app's." - Source.
Although the above regards the Xperia S which ran Bravia Engine (1st gen) it would most likely also apply to our device even though we have Bravia Engine (2nd gen), also it is worth checking this page out.

my youtube app only shows 720p max, really annoying, I tried the desktop method in chrome but it didn't appear to load, I kept getting loading error message when it played, when the video attempted to play it just froze my browser (chrome)
Found a better method if I want to see 4k video on my note 4 however more long winded, I downloaded tubemate app from amazon app store, this allowed me to download full 4k quality test videos and play them
You can upgrade your YouTube app and view 1440p. Search around for it.
Just if you are rooted though right?

I believe so, You will need to remove the old app to do so which require root.
This is really ticking me off. What's the use of a kickass screen if you can't feed it properly with content?
Fullhd doesn't work on the nexus 7 either
Check this 1080p 60 FPS video! This is waaaay better than 4k at 30 fps if you're not using a tripod. You get MUCH less blur when moving the phone.

[Q] Two questions

1. What is the best video converter for the Z3 Compact? Do I even need one? Will the Z3 Compact play 1080p videos just fine or must they be 720p?
2. How come there is no WhatsApp message counter notification on the app's launch icon? Other apps like Facebook's Messenger display a number on the app's launch icon for the number of new messages. WhatsApp doesn't have that on Android for me (I know it does on iOS).

You don't need to convert your movies, it's simply just drag and drop. If you use the stock movie app you'll probably encounter problems with codecs, so I'd advice to use MX Player instead. As for the resolution, 1080p will be down scaled.
I have no idea about the WhatsApp counter. You can probably use a mod or something in order to get the counter, but you'll need root.

Just remember Z3C can play 4K videos. 1080p is just too easy

Yeah, but it's like watching a 4k film on a 720p monitor, you'll be able to watch it but it will never be of the same quality as an actual monitor with 4k resolution.

Play a 720p video and then play a 1080p video on your phone. You'll notice the drastic difference in quality

Thanks for the replies.
Anyone else use WhatsApp? If so, can he/she confirm that there is no WhatsApp new message counter on the launch icon for the app (at least for Android)?

Camera App that support sound in live photo / motion video

I am looking for a good camera app that supports live photos (like iOS) with sound not just video. I know the Samsung camera app has motion but no sound included. What do you suggest? I have seen live photos on iOS. I am using Camera MX but are there other camera apps that support this.

Did you ever find an app? Are you able to backup camera MX somewhere online or does google photos support it?
