Hey guys I am confused about this. I had a z1s before and sold it off before root was achieved. My brother recently bought a z1s and after running through the steps to check the bootloader status it says bootloader unlock status allowed: Yes. Does this mean I can unlock the bootloader through sony?....Also does every z1s say this? I was under the impression they all stated no.
Can you take a screen shot of the phone's About section under Settings?
screen shot of the about screen

Interesting...that makes me hopeful lol. I've yet to see that on a Z1S.
Anybody else notice that the first shot shows every indication of using the Android L theme -- all white flat icons in the status bar, the Triangle / Circle / Square nav bar -- yet in the second shot none of that is present?
These are the rocks upon which our hopes are dashed.

The sony status bar is not present in the original picture because on my current setup (oppo n1 pa 4.5) when you press the photo in gallery it brings up a menu that blocks the top of the said screenshot....just to set the record straight...I am interested to hear suggestions on how to help with the development of this phone or further info in proceeding to unlock the bootloader
That's fake ignore this guy.

How can you be sure it is fake?...looks legit to me. Don't know what benefit he'd get from lying either.
First picture is a screenshot of a screenshot, that's why there are double icons.

Hi guys,
Yesterday I bought a Nexus 32gb in Fnac, and I realized that with the screen off the light of a close reading lamp is reflected in it and because of this I can see a dotted line and "squares" in the screen (I suppose it's the tactile panel)
The weirdest thing is after seeing the dotted line with the screen off, when I turn it on with the highest bright and a white background I keep on seeing those points
Would you be so kind as to check this?
Thanks for all.
My one x and asus transformer have them too.

I'm very grateful for your answer.
Do you still see them in the same place when you turn the screen on for a few seconds and put a white background in it?
The squares are in an obvious pattern. There is no way that could be a bad screen. All HP touchpad had it.

I've noticed this pattern on my Nexus 7 as well, but only when the screen is off and hit by a bright light at just the right angle. And even then, I have to really look for it.
I've never been able to notice it while the screen was turned on though.

ah no, i can only see them when the screen in off and i am outside with bright sunlight on the front face... no chance of seeing them on white background here. :good:
It is normal. Stop being paranoid and just accept what people are telling you. It is normal to see that pattern while the screen is on if you have a bright background.
Edit: If people say they cant see them they are not looking for it correctly. All capacative screen has em'. True story

Is there a way for me to make;

Long press back=Menu

Long press HTC= Google Now

If someone could either do this for me or provide me with instructions I would be very grateful.

I'm pretty sure the "htc" logo, is just a logo. There isn't any way to make it do anything.

The HTC logo has already been made as a menu button, and also is implemented in "logo2wake/sleep" and "sweep2wake". But to answer the op's question, yes it should be possible

It was explained by a member of HTC's support team in a Reddit Q&A that the HTC logo in fact does not have a sensor beneath it:
http://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/comments/1d6p8f/debunking_some_myths_and_answering_some_common/
Myth/Question #1: The HTC Logo is a capacitive key that can be programmed as an extra input option.
A: There is an XDA video showing a user who mapped this HTC logo to respond to button presses. Even with that video- this is false. There is no capacitive sensor located in that area. The XDA user programmed the final row of pixels (or a couple rows) located in the middle of the phone to be accessed as a keypress. There is no hardware supporting capacitive touch in this location (one of the engineers showed me the opened up device personally).
There is an image I found online and posted in this thread showing the capacitance locations

Cool...
...but it does work as a button, regardless if it's a capacitive one or not. Nobody here said it's capacitive, just asking if it could be used as a something other than a menu button which is does do in all custom kernels. The OPs request seems totally do-able with a custom kernel.
But no, HTC will likely never make it a feature. But that is why we have bad ass devs.

Not to harp, but the logo is not a button, period. No matter what kernel you use, you will never be able to press on the logo itself and have the device respond. Every implementation of logo2wake or logo2menu will say to hit the area "above the logo" to activate the feature, since you're then close enough to the screen to trip those first few sensors.

I mean, so long as it works, no one really got "trolled" per se.
I just have my logo or above it for the technical people as my menu button. Home is home, long press Google now, double tap for recent. That's ideal for me. I'd want my home as home not menu

Man, all these kernel devs are lying to us, calling it "logo2wake" and stuff when it should be called "eversoslightlyabovethelogobutnotonthelogobecausethelogoisn'tarealbutton2wake"
I wonder why they don't call it that...Oh, because it sounds retarded, that's why.
I get it's the screens digitizer which is ever so slightly functional under the black border at the bottom of the screen and they simply remap the tiny sliver above the HTC logo to function as button.

Thats for little fingers and pencil dicks
large girth fingers actually hit the logo button (at least the top half) and it works :silly:
Said my share, going back to playing with my pencil :crying:
I've searched on this forum but can't seem to find an answer to my situation.
If there is a double post please post link.
Anyways, When looking especially from the top or the bottom of my Sony Z at wide angles there is the transparent column visible on the screen. From top to bottom.Not noticeable when the screen is off.
See picture. It's on the left partially over the skip forward symbol.
Looking straight at it is not a problem.
Is this a tft design weakness or hardware problem?
It seems hardware problem but you can try another firmware just to make sure it's not a software glitch.

It can't because it is rooted right?

Well, some sort of workaround... Not so much a fix.
There's an app called ScreenAdjuster from the play store which allows you to adjust colors a bit, turn blue up a bit until you like the result (to about 6 or 7 I believe).
so it is a software problem not a hardware problem and there is hope for future fix by sony?

Seems to be a software issue, Mine turn yellow after the first update. Screen adjuster is a workaround in the mean time. My nexus had the same issue. Its more of a colour temperature thing. Most people seem to like a cooler look to their screen.
should i go for replacement under doa without fear of getting more defected one
or wait for update on issue?

I have this problem also. I call to sony center they already confirm is a hardware issue and I requested to change, by monday they will change for me. My opinion you better change a new device from them because the yellow hue really make you feel angry that you pay so much and you still getting this problem.
Even I had talk with customer center dey admitted it as hardware issue and guaranteed me replaced phone won't.have it.but dey stated after I get changed phone.I.wnt be able to doa it in case of.prob is.it.true?

Yes.
The one on the picture is the last one not returned.
Still got it until the new one arrives.
Update :
Is there an easy way for her to do a screen shot of the information you want ?
She was unsure where to find it.
I don't know and can't tell her. I swapped mine for the Note because they told us that the screen was that bad.
But now we know better.
I guess you want it for a reference because we got the help we need.

The stock lockscreen has it, which means you need to turn off Moto's active display.
