I bought Sony Ericsson Live with walkman 2 weeks ago and the first thing i notice is that there is something wrong with the display contrast, when the background is black or dark the contrast will automaticly change make the white very shiny and annoying even i cant read the word "Google" inside the search widget, screenshot for that attached
is there any fix for that ? maybe kernel ??
link in Sony Ericsson talk forum about that issue "in the attachments"
It doesn't sport the same Bravia Engine the other 2011 xperia's have so contrast isn't exactly "spot on" i guess that's why they installed the Bravia engine on the other xperias in the first place

As far as i know the "Bravia engine" only affect the images and the videos not general performance, am i wrong ?
and by the way my old Xperia X8 have better contrast than this one, and no "Bravia engine" there at all !!!
Well the Xperia mini has the same no. of colors ( both have 16M ) and both have the same res ( both have 320 x 480 ) the only difference is the ppi (Mini: 192 ppi, Live: 180 ppi ) and that the Mini has the Bravia Engine. Note, The Bravia Engine was intended to affect picture, video, and ui

You might want to try this:

The dev tested it on his live with walkman and that tweak installer has CWM and Bravia engine included.

Yh it does, its in the options when you play music under settings
I think that Bravia engine is not involved with that because simply the contrast issue only appear if the background is black otherwise the contrast is OK ( check the screenshot i attach, they are both from my live but one when the background is black and the other when it is blue )
Any idea !!!
Here's my screenshot on black theme, contrast not so bad (brightness @ 100%)

I mean what you see in the screen in real, not in the screenshot ( actually i Photoshop my screenshot to simulate the real view because i don't have HD camera so i can capture my mobile screen, the screenshot will not show you your mobile screen problem because simply you are viewing them on the computer screen )
so it only show that this issue is locally visible in your phone might well bring it to sonyericsson service center in your area. I never heard of this issue among the SE Live owners in the philippines.

Quot from SE reply to me in SE Talk Forum
"Haven't heard about this before, but as I started to play around with the Live with Walkman I can actually see that the contrast changes depending on which background/theme you are using and also that the red icons on blue background leaves a shadow. I have escalated this and will get back to you when I get more information. Thanks for reporting."

Dude, I'm having the same exact problem with my Xperia Mini Pro. I thought it's the Bravia Engine so I tried turning it off, but same thing. I noticed this problem when I look at the "Google" word inside the Search box widget. When I'm using the black theme, the contrast is bad and it's like the "Google" word is too bright to read.
It's really annoying. I thought I'm the only one experiencing this. It's like the screen is too washed out.
Quot from PhoneArena review just released today
"Its color reproduction leans a bit towards the warm side, while its contrast levels and viewing angles are average at best. Another problem that we notice is that its pixel response time is rather high, meaning that moving objects leave a faint blurry trail behind them"
and i mentioned this issue earlier in the SE talk forum,
anyone else facing issues in the screen ???

Hi all, is it sony live walkman poor in display? after buying i didnt realize it... but after try to change font and add bravia engine, i found that the display of word n numeric are poor.. seem like a shadow around font... i try change stock font but seem it same... anyone got same problem with me?
p/s: sorry for my poor English
First of all bravia engine is not meant for this device. what's the point of putting it anyway? My display is fine not so great but not that bad. Tweaking the phone to have something it shouldn't have is a different story, there is a reason why SE did not put bravia engine to this device.
If you're looking for a great great you should have bought the xperia line or get a phone with super amoled display.
bravia engine does not effect fonts or UI, it just effects pictures/video
so it mean live walkman already have poor display of font... huhu
did you changed font? try some other font
I am using Xperia P as in title. I found out while using outdoor under bright sun, colors transform into more white-ish. For example: twitter's bar is blue -> it transforms into light, greenish blue. Orange color -> turns into yellow color. Is this a problem or is this because of White Magic?
And I bet, after upgrading to 4.1.2 (from 4.0.4) texts on the phone have been changed. I don't know which one is true but I will write everything I think:
1. I think texts lost their sharpness. Screen looks little bit steamy. (not so much)
2. Maybe there is something bad about resolution.(Because I also feel this resolution or sharpness loss while playing games)
3. Maybe texts on android 4.0 were darker or bolder than, 4.1.
I can put a pic if anyone wants me to do. Thanks for every help.
Hi,
Xperia M4 Aqua does not have the best white color. I set in settings for display value 167 for blue color and it looks much better. But after reboot I have to ge there and confirm my settings again. Is on the internet some good app which works after reboot if u set ur color on display? I just want to have good white color and working afer reboot, too. That is everything.
Thanks for your advice(s)
Check out faux123kernel enhancement app.
There are some more apps like screen adjuster free they don't seem to have true native screen adjusting.
There are many screen calibration apps for nexus 4 .don't know whether they will work for m4.
I also have a problem on the Xperia m4 aqua .the edges of the display seem to have a dark hue on the status bar and navigation bar.
I think it is not a problem with the device.
It is actually material overlay mode.
I am still trying to find an app to change it for the default Sony ui.
Well the problem disappears after installing another launcher like Google now or nova launcher...
I too am not happy with the Xperia m4 aqua display. It is not very good compared with Samsung J5 amoled display and other 720p ips panels.
Very Poor contrast ratio , black value is not good and display is not excellent in color pallete.
But slightly better or equal to moto G 2015.
Hope this works for you.
Hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to change the saturation on the Sony Xperia 1 III
I'm used to setting a high saturation on All my screens since i love when colors pop
So i find the screen rather dull to look at, especially in games.
Changing the normal white balance doesn't really satisfy me as it doesn't make the screen more vibrant
Thanks for any help
Hi,
in past, for older xperia devices there was "vivid mode' within screen options in settings.
Unfortunately, sone as a company obsessed to remove features and options its fans loved decided to remove this feature among the others too.
Now we have only normal and washed out (creator) modes...
The only thing is to e-mail official sony support hoping they will pass this info to sony xperia software division internally.
Tbh, on a software level what sony does with its devices is horrible. Thank's god I was able to download sony album app from Internet and it works. This app was removed too... If it didn't work for me, I would return this device. Now happy with having sony album.
Unfortunately screen vivid mode was not an app but just integrated setting
I am missing it too.
