Couldn't find a thread about the ZU on this, but this issue puzzles me. I have a new ZU for two days now and can't really get over the seemingly bad haptic feedback implementation. Whenever I hit the same button a couple of times, or a couple of random ones fast, the intensity of the feedback dramatically increases. Coming from a Note 2 I never had this issue. All this results in an uneven experience when writing.
I read about other Sony's having this issue, wondering whether this is 'normal', because it surely doesn't feel like it.
No one has tested their haptic feedback?

I updated to the latest firmware, 4.4.2, build 14.3.A.0.757. Did you manage to fix it? I talked to LordM about it and he says it's inherent to Sony Z Ultra. Others report differently.

I didn't say that(?), I said that I have the same thing with mine, and I haven't looked at it as something strange - until now. Isn't it normal? I can "fix" it by decreasing the vibration intensity from the keyboard settings, but is this a hardware issue? Software? I don't know, and I really don't care. It doesn't bother me one bit, but that's just me though.
I DO however remember when the Ultra got released, and people were complaining about the weak vibrator, but I, and some other people couldn't understand how people could say that, since the vibrator was and still is brutal as hell. Could it be that we simply have a better vibrator? Does the people with the weaker vibrator have a the "defect" vibrator? Who knows!

Well, you stated "Hi, that's normal. It's just how the stock keyboard is made. You can adjust the vibration intensity in the keyboard settings". Inherent/normal... Anyway, it doesn't really matter, because some people find it weak/strong and others, like me, find it totally weird and different from Samsung. It does seem better now with the stock Google keyboard, will test further tomorrow.
Not sure about your last thoughts, but I do know that this must be the biggest 'vibrator' trololo

You're absolutely right, Sony is a little 'different' indeed. The ZU is quite a beast, very different from the same lame old Sammy phones. I hope Sony keeps improving!

When I received my HTC Amaze, the camera had absolutely no issues. Since that time, I have, essentially, "garaged" my phone. I installed a Steinheil screen protector on it and have kept the phone in my room. Today, however, when I attempted to use the camera application, I was met with absolute failure. Whenever the camera detects a light source, lines flash across the screen and the camera application temporarily freezes. Pictures can be taken, but they have "digital" lines and sensor errors across them (example picture). Sometimes, the image is shown twice, over a horizontal "split screen".
I have no idea what could have caused this, my device is entirely stock.
I have reset my phone and the issue is not caused by fluorescent lighting.
This is my third replacement phone (I had two replacements for my Sensation). I want a working phone.
The screen protector is worth $7.50...
As far as I know you can't do anything else, and even rooting might not help. I know it sucks, I got the Amaze instead of a 4th mytouch4g, but getting another one is your best bet. I haven't seen or heard about this type of issue, you prob got a fluke. HTC's quality control isn't the best...

Hmm I'm not sure you can really call that a "known" issue.
My sister, her boyfriend, my brother and I all have an Amaze.
No problems with our phone.
Honestly though if I picked up my phone and my screen did that number I'd call and get a warranty exchange with a quickness.
No need to post or ask about it cause it's pretty obvious it's a defect.
"Known", in that it is now something that exists. That is why I extend the statement by mentioning the purpose is to establish the issue in the situation that another individual has the problem.
Phone was 100% stock.
I am now on my fourth T-Mobile replacement. The replacement that I just received has the antenna connectors broken off.

I'm finally getting my 1st TP on the 19th, and hopefully it doesn't have any issues. I can understand the first 'batch' having trouble, and hopefully I'm not part of that. Wish me luck, I suppose.
Good luck man! You'll get a good one. Hater's gonna hate around here...just don't listen to it. You have to remember also that people will tend to seek out a forum for support when they are having problems before they go on to give positive feedback. Especially with the average person who doesn't frequent forums much.

Mine is flawless. WiFi is just as strong or stronger than my HTC Inspire. I'm at work so have not played with it too much, but I just took it out of the box. I love this thing. I will report back but so far with what it has done, I do not have any problems. Also, I have not tested GPS, mainly because like you, I do not care about the GPS functionality I knew this going into it. So you will get a good one, I have faith!
Reading here I see so many gripes and had so many worries, but now that I have my tablet in my hand all of those worries are relieved, this thing is fantastic. In my opinion way better than the iPad that everyone keeps telling me I should have got instead.
Android Forever.
Mine is also flawless. 100% so (hope I dont jinx myself.)
Mine doesn't have a single defect or flaw.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Once I factory reset mine after the upgrade to ICS, no issues with the device. GPS is fine as far as I am concerned. Sure, it's not strong but the previous one wasn't stellar either. WiFi I don't see an issue with at all.
And I even have a serial # on mine
working great here
Wifi is definitely weak-ish on mine, but no big deal. Everything (besides GPS which I haven't tried) else seems to work great.
Not gonna lie, its flawless over here. Though I can sympathize for those with problems. Really bad luck.
Mine works Great!

Really? Flawless? ... cmon everything has flaws to some extent.
Now, sometimes they are tolerable or a "meh whatever", but every device has flaws.
My washing machine has some UI flaws, but nothing I can't live with. Same for my car, and computer OS (linux), and ...
So, everyone should simply read between lines. There will be "Flawless" primes, and also completely "Fawked" primes.
Some issues are more real than others, but they all have issues in the eyes of the person holding it.
I finally got a perfect one...
I'm not having any problems - because I have not bought one yet... ... being happy to not be an early adopter has it's advantages.
I do sympathize with those having issues though!
No issues here. Very happy owner!
also perfect here no problem what so ever
Two happy owners
My wife and I both bought one and the docks. Both 32GB gray. We both upgraded to ICS, and both work and look flawless.
The only complaint I would have is the java. This thing has the power to run the full java virtual machine, instead of just the phone based java. That is not a fault of the tablet and my wife and I both are extremely satisfied - no - better said thrilled with the Prime. I think as Asus (however its pronounced ) releases even more firmware updates, it will get even better. I upgraded mine from a Nook Color that I had rooted with CM7, and my wife decided on this over an iPad. She's very glad she chose this over the iPad.
RR II
I'd like to thank EVERYONE for their input, even posts outside of this thread. I'm glad that I was able to see a positive outlook about the Prime as well as problems some people had as well, just to know what to expect in case something went wrong. This thread specifically makes me excited for my Prime coming in late tomorrow, and I can barely wait!
Thank you again to everyone! (Would "thank" everyone post-by-post, but I'm limited to 8 per day.)
i bought mine yesterday and i am very happy with it.. havent got the ics update yet because turkish update hasnt been released yet.. i am so excited about the ics update as i have tried cm9 on my sgsII and saw how amazing the ics is. This thing is great enough to make me happy as i always want to have the best.
Edit: I just realised this is my first post eventhough i have joined and have been following xda developers for a year..
I have no clue why or who ever in Samsung development messed this up, but when you stream flash videos in full screen the notification does not auto hide. To me this is completely unacceptable as it ruins the possibility of "full screen" and it can actually damage the oled in these phones.
I think this fix should be a MUST for any developer currently making rooms for this phone. The only from currently that I know of that fixes it is Cyanogen.. but I do want a stable ICS and oh boy can't we all dream of a perfect aosp from... dreams of super fast clean friendly user experience...

AS said above, it looks like your are running ICS which is in beta and has not been officially released, you are complaining about an unfinished, unofficially released BETA rom.
You may need some time of reflection and a lot of reading to understand what you are doing......
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms?
You answer your question yourself why build a rom based on a half assed buggy beta release .
Put in a very simple way . Why waste time on a buggy beta build that may be very different come release day .
When ICS is released and if a dev thinks its worth fixing your problem i am sure they will .

OK it sounds like no one understood , I will attempt to explain this better. This is NOT an ICS problem this problem is with EVERY rom including stock update strait from Kies. I went as far as contacting Samsung to get a fix, but as you can see in my profile I live in the US and the US Samsung will not help me with my UK phone. Why everything between us is so divided beats me but still the issue remains.
As I stated currently the only rom that fixes it is Cyanogen but just as JJ stated why use a buggy beta when the release will be much different/better. Also I am currently running ICS and have not encountered a single bug. Everything works perfect except for Samsung's stupid attempt to burn in my screen. I don't know about everyone else but I paid $580 for this phone and the last thing I want is a permanent" 3g" on my screen...

Then give us more information. Saying that streaming videos don't go full screen is no where near enough. What ROM, website, browser etc are you using because the last time I tried this (Not long after the S2 was released) it worked just fine. I tried a 720p video from megaupload and it went full screen just fine. Same with youtube/youtube app. Give more information, not attitude. Also, i'd wager than there is zero chance of your display burning in a 3G icon. Perhaps the full notification bar if you use MIUI/a white or light theme but I highly doubt the majority of people will experience any burn in, never mind such a small specific burn in.
Fair enough.. more info. I usually run completely stock and decided to play around with ics. A main site I stream with is twitch.TV (I am a big starcraft2 player and use the pro streams to get better) while I'm at work I watch for hours sometimes 7 hours straight. This WILL cause burn in.
When the problem occurs:
Watching ANY true flash video online(not YouTube app) while in full screen mode in any browser or Rom besides cyanogen.
If you don't believe me test it yourself. Go to twitch.TV pick a stream let the video load and click the full screen button. If you have a rom that the notification bar disappears let me know and you won't hear.me "moan" anymore.
Or maybe one of you super nice Brits can call UK Samsung and get an official fix. The number is 08702420303.

Download the diff, check for relevant changes (there's not many for fullscreen) and mod your own browser. Before you ask, I'm not going to hold your hand on this one, and am not willing to do it for you either (I don't use an ICS ROM).
Not asking for any hand holding or hand outs for that matter.. one last question can it be done completely from the phone?
Actually nvm that browser mod will not work with ics. Even states in that post "should be comparable with 2.3.x roms.

Sure it will, you just have to be willing to put in some work. Namely, as I already said, downloading the diff, checking for relevant changes (I think there's only two changes relating to full screen) and getting them into your Browser.apk. You're probably going to need to do some reading.

I honestly disagree with that. I think what exists is something similar to what we did see on the skyrocket,
a combination of an actual software issue and the manufacturer sources different screens
someone had posted a picture of a few notes, all having a slightly different screen appearance
similar to the skyrocket pics I posted a while back

Sadly when mentioning my theories I get lumped into the naysayer group.
I do see that there is an issue. I scrutinized the previous methods of determining it yes, but the test image does a fairly good job of displaying the problem. Funny thing is, that test image does not display consistently across any of the displays I check...which kind of sucks...every display I own had some issue or another
It was me, I posted 3 notes side by side, all with the same settings and vastly different screen appearances. Y'all need the pic for reference again?
This is something I really only notice when viewing low res video...If I use HD or the like I dont have this issue..
Same on my PC when I watch a ****ty trailer and the blacks look blocky on my monitor..Not to say some notes dont have a real issue but I think its software mostly.
The leaked ICS build simply shifted the black clipping point from between 0 and 1 to between 6 and 7. They didn't do anything to actually fix the problem.

My best guess, based on what I know happens when you shift the black point, or increase contrast is that, on ICS, box 7 becomes roughly the same brightness as box 1 on GB. If you had a gradual fade in GB, it will still be a gradual fade on the ICS leak. The only difference is that it will gradually fade to 7 before clipping to black, rather than all the way to 1.

But Samsung has not acknowledged that it is a hardware issue. In fact, they have not acknowledged a problem at all. If they come out and say that it is a hardware problem, then fine - at least we know. But just moving the black clipping point to put a band-aid on the problem isn't doing anything at all.

It's "doing something," but it's certainly not something that would "correct" the problem. Initial testing indicated that they simply shifted the system-wide contrast, nothing more. (since you can return to the old GB results by setting contrast -15).

But Samsung has not acknowledged that it is a hardware issue. In fact, they have not acknowledged a problem at all. If they come out and say that it is a hardware problem, then fine - at least we know. But just moving the black clipping point to put a band-aid on the problem isn't doing anything at all.

They are saying something....from a letter in the International forum thread about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24964262&postcount=694
It's kinda odd that the letter is dated for 4/17/2012. So Samsung wrote the letter in India, mailed it out to that guy, he got the letter, took picture of it, and posted it on XDA all in the same day?! I don't think Samsung Customer service is that good to have a letter sent and recieved in the same day. Smells Fishy to me.

I am guessing he actually went the the Samsung service department with his phone. They printed that out for him.
Ok that makes alot more sense.

That app wont do anything to address the clipping. However, supercurio, the author,says he has a separate ICS-based fix for the clipping issue on the n7000 -- so we're hoping to get it ported to our i717...
My new note having this issue but I was watching some review on youtube he was saying that most of the note has this issue so i have to keep it what if i get the next one with more issue, but was wonder if this is hardware or software issue though ?
I had a touchscreen sensitivity problem that I've now resolved, I use an aftermarket screen protector on top of the anti shatter film that comes pre installed on our phones, and my keyboard was all over the place when swiping, it seemed the screen was too sensitive even with the additional protector on, I'm using build .527
I found the following file, max1187x_touchscreen_0.idc in the /system/usr/idc directory, and just altered the touch.filter.level = 2 line using Root Explorer.
Tried all values upto 7, which for me is when the sensitivity became too low and I had to press hard to get the keyboard to cooperate, I found for me the optimum setting is 5, so the line now read's touch.filter.level = 5 as per the attached screenshot.
You may have to experiment to get your optimum setting but for me every word I swipe is correct and I always hit the smallest of checkboxes first time now with 5.

Also going to experiment further because I'd like to slightly increase the touch area (pixels) touched on actual touch.

I guess you're familiar with the touch screen problem of the Z1 right? I want your honest opinion about that if it's really a hardware or a software issue.. threads are here in xda and in sony forums..
Thank you very much. If that can be resolved through software alterations then i'll try this one.

Yeah us Ultra users over the fence have the same issue. I believe its purely software.
Reason being is that its not quite as bad, and by default these settings are difference. So have a play, and maybe even go as high as 6 and that should make the issues go away, however you may need to touch the screen, not just gently breeze over it.

My issue is that it loses touch for a period of time and you have to lift your finger in order for the screen to work again, this happens more on flat surfaces especially in bed. It's annoying since it affects the gaming experience. I hope this can ease the problem, so what i need in this case is increased or decreased sensitivity?

This was caimed to also work on the Z1 a few posts back, and is linked to on Z1 forum. I fixed the issue anyway, guess I'll share my fix on Z1.
Can anyone with 4.3 or 4.4 post a screen shot of their settings? Mine is horrible. Hoping Sony fixed it in the update.
Thanks, but please: Add "sensitity" tag to your topic's name.

How you fix that?
Didn't worked for my zu, still ghost clicking, even continious series. GPe firmware fixes a little, but I didn't like it. I merged idc files of gpe and .136 - no difference, so I think there are another responsible files else.

I have an hardware fix: I clean the phone with microfiber and alcohol iso.
