What do you use your XZ1 for? - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

I use it in bed, runnig Havoc OS. For Reddit and Youtube, and last for true crime podcasts. The screen is not as good as it has been before. On the edges there is bright light.
I have used my bigger phone for reading, but it's uncomfortable.

backlight uniformity

I've had my N7 for a week and a half now, and there is only one flaw: I have a 1.5cm dark band down the right side of the screen. It's only really noticeable on white or solid pale colours, so for videos and games it's fine but it's a little distracting when reading black on white.
I have only the slightest amount of backlight bleeding round the edges, even under extreme conditions (ie. full brightness in dark room,) no dead pixels, no ghosting, no issue with washed out colour. So I'm just wondering if it's worth getting a return or just waiting to see if it evens out a bit.
I haven't found any mention of similar issues on the forum, so I'd like to ask how people are finding the uniformity of the display?
same problem
I have the same defect.
How did you resolve? Did you get a replacement?

I think I might have the same problem. But with mine it only shows after having the screen off for a while, and it slowly fades to normal after the screen warms up.
So far what I have done is have all dark themes so I dont see it anymore. Have tried to refit the cables inside and using pixel fixer apps, none had worked.

Spots on the screen

Today was the first time I'd had the phone with the sun shining on it, and there were lines of dots along the screen at regular intervals covering the whole screen, that became visible at certain angles when the sun was shining on it.
I can't recreate it now with artificial light to give a better description, but they were there even when the screen was off.
Has anybody noticed this/is it there a simple explanation for this?
I see it too. It's imho sensors of capacitive display.

Yeah seen em too id agree with you about the sensors never noticed it on any other phone before, but then i never been so nervous about viewing my phone at an angle before lol, maybe it something to do with the fact we can use the phone when its wet.
I had seen them on every android phone, but everytime it looked different
Same here
Have it on my phone too. I noticed this on other phones, but not as obvious as this. I can even see it with the screen on, when looking at the darker portions. Kind of irritating.
Noticed it, but I though it was reinforcement spots for the dragontrail glass.
Doesn't bother me one bit, cos it's only in bright sunlight and at certain extreme angles that you see it.
And it looks somewhat beautiful.

Sony Xperia Z C6603 Purple | RomAur 1.1

Daydream View

Since I happen to have the only phone that works with it other than a Pixel I couldn't resist... got mine a few days ago.
All I can say is, it's awesome. Compared to Cardboard, the quality and smoothness of motion is noticeably better, but the real win is the remote controller which is just amazing. Completely intuitive and precise. The potential for gaming is huge. Overall the UI is excellent.
I read a review somewhere that noted a bit of lag during head motion with the Moto Z Force. I can't say I really notice that - or if it's there it's pretty minor. I've never used an Oculus Rift though so I don't have any basis to compare to a high-end platform.
The only complaint I have is the design of the headset is a little awkward. I kind of have to have the strap near the top of the back of my head for it to be secured well, it seem like the angle of my face is just a little off. But it's workable and overall comfortable. Also - it definitely doesn't block all light out, so you can get a little glare when using in a bright room. This feels like a trade-off for having it work with glasses -- which it does, perfectly. I sometimes wear a pretty chunky pair of glasses and it fits over them fine.
This also isn't too big a deal. It's not unworkable in bright light, just not perfect. I can also imagine a simple add-on that could act as a shroud to close the gaps where light is admitted. Or just put a bag over your head
Anyway a lot of fun so far. It seems like a very well thought-out product. I had no issues at all with setup, it just worked. The remote even came charged.
The remote was a nice addition. Really makes it fun to use! I agree with the headset attachment... A little awkward to get it properly aligned. Personally, it makes me nauseous after a while, which kind of sucks. :\
I really enjoy daydream with the Moto Z. I had used it before, but with 1080p it was a little less than pleasant. But the Moto Z's resolution makes up for this and it's a lot nicer. I can also get a great amount of gameplay time without killing the battery completely!

How do you like the screen (pixel grid visibible?)?

Hi all,
I like the screen image quality compared to the p9 lite. However when looking at it from a slight angle (short viewing distance, brightness high) I can clearly see diagonal lines. I'm quite sure it isn't the digitizer grid (as i know how that looks and under very bright light can see it to)
It looks like it is the pixel grid but I have seen phones with lower pixel density and at these i can't see anything similar.
Can't be the only one noticing this, what is your experience?
See pictures (around text Iphone 7) to see the lines...

Can't see anything special about the screen. Actually I'm quite surprised with the lcd quality coming from samsung's amoled. Maybe huawei is cheating with displays too
What about plastic "screen protector", did you remove it?

Didn't remove it at first. Recently received mu tempered glass protector so I switched removed the plastic one.
Still visible. And starting to be annoying.
Addes pictures to first post
Hi,
To show what i mean I attached 2 pictures to the first post
Look at the text (around Iphone) to see diagonal lines...
don't worry, ist not your eyes fooling you, i have exact the same Problem. These diagonal lines differs from brightness and angle you are looking at the phone but mostly still clearly seen. I DONT like this Feature really. Aside from this, my phone suffers from heavy battery drain when not using the phone at all. Today again coming back from work from 11am to 9.30pm having only 50% battery left. Not using it much, some reading/browsing on the net, some WhatsApp (may ten messgages) not camera and no other apps. Screen on time maybe 45min. Greenfy or Doze from the playstore are not helping any percentage.
Sometimes i really think of just buying a ****ing iPhone because slowly im sick of These Android kindergarten Problems all the time giving back phones 2 times until u get a working one. i mean we are on Android 7 right now and having super duper announced Android Doze, but still Android ist fighting with battery drain Problems as always.
Hi 'good' to hear I am not the only one seeing this. Don't like it either.
In regard to the battery, I'm not too happy about it but after the first to weeks I think it's oke. I can get a decent standy time. Didn't check screen on time. Not great not to bad I think.
Did you try clearing memory once in a while? It helps and the phone starts apps fast so not to big a problem...
Cant notice any of this on my screen with normal usage. Not putting my nose against the screen either. If i put my eyeballs about few cm from the screen, I can barely make out some of this, but thats not really how you use a phone...
Battery is pretty decent - after 21 hours of uptime (took it off charger at 4 am ish, used the phone during 8am to 5 pm for some phonecalls, facebook+messenger, instagram, little bit of web and google maps) its on 43% and shows me 9hours to go. Have you done factory reset after getting the phone? Some random apps you might not remember having can also mess with battery uptime.
I see it while using the phone at decent distance (normal use) of about 20 to 30 cm. So not pressing my nose against the screen at all.
Last night I cleared the memory and after 7 hours no battery loss. In battery viewer I have a flat line.

How's the flash/light?

The light on my V20 works well as a flashlight, but the one on my wife's Note 9 is brighter by far. Can anyone comment on how bright the ROG II's light is compared to either of those phones?
It's pretty bright... oddly it only uses one of the two flash LEDs. I don't know what the lumens are like compared to those but it's plenty to see around. When it is mounted on my bike handlebars I even turn it on at night as a headlamp and can see potholes in the road.
Because the battery is so huge I can run it for hours and it doesn't seem to make a dent in the battery.

The other one is an RGB LED for lighting up the lightning armor case. Not sure if it can be activated on its own.
The led flashlight is stupidly bright! Brightness I've ever seen on a phone for sure.
