Is xreality applied allover the phone or is it used only in "some" sony apps and which ones?
I mean: if I use quickpick of view an image from facebook app, is xreality used?
As I know stock album and movies it surely does.
But on outer apps I dont know

When does the engine2 work?? YouTube videos? Movies that I add to the phone?
Any pictures or videos that are viewed in the Sony Album app perhaps?
THanks!

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.

As stated before videos, pics and supported 3rd party players. you can notice the effect if you open one of the standard sony pics from the widget. it opens it up and then changes the color nocitebly

Hi guys I'm sure most of us have already seen the videos of Sony's new media apps but have you noticed that some features aren't present in the stock Album and Movies app in Z1? Like the "dashboard", events in Album app and the "scene thumbnails" in Movie app. These are good features and I wonder if this will be made available or not in the next updates.

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's true when we unlock the bootloader, BE2 continues working on Movies, Youtube and MX Player?????

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

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.

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)?
