[Q] x reality engine not work - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys sorry for my english but I'm italian... Today I have seen xperia z2 but it have serious problem... I have zperia z and when I use bravia engine there is a big difference in the photos... Whit x reality engine on the xperia z2 there isn't difference why?

Did you unlock your bootloader? If not, maybe a factory reset of your Z2 could solve the problem.

Z2 has IPS screen.
It's ridiculous to compare those two devices and their screen.
Z2 has awesome screen, colours and viewing angle...

Wow, you have a piece of paper saying its tft, sorry, i was wrong, you are obviously right, that paper cant lie.
How about official sony webpage?
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-z2/features/#Display
How about any mobile review website? They all clearly say its IPS, so stop it, you are wrong.

But
Don't you see that they are equal(z and z2)? The z2 has only brighter color but the display are identical... Ok stop

Don't know why I even bother but OK...
I have Z2 in my hands and that's quite enough.
If you just check viewing angle you'll understand it's not TFT

So, no matter the screen a IPS screen is or not, it's a TFT. But the screen on Z2 uses the IPS technique.
All these screens, including HTC's SLCD3, iPhone, xperia s/z/z1, are TFTs, but only with different techniques.
Of course, Samsung uses Super Amoled, they are different.
Before criticize others, please search on www.google.com.

I know that mr. Smartass, and it doesnt change a thing, ips is not = tft, its different technology.

Are you leaving? Post your farewell here

Hey everybody, this is a thread were you can say goodbye if you are going to leave your device.
Im leaving Xperia Ray now because I did get a good deal on Xperia U. I have liked to be a part of this awesome community, and I like the roms alot. The reason why I bought a new device is because FXP discontinued Xperia 2011 development, and I wanted a new and fast device.
Im leaving as soon as i find good deal.
Reason is that i dont like this small screen and now i need at least 3.5 inch screen.
This is great community and there are manny good mods.

Different from you guys, i don't like big phone, my damn hand are too small to use big screen. I just hoping you guys didn't get bored seeing me around. :thumbup:

I also don't like very big screens.
4 inches is maximum for me,but it's such a big phone for me.
I think I will stay with my LwW atleast half a year.
But when I'll see a good deal,maybe I'll buy an newer Xperia from 2012 or 2013 series.

[Q] Sony Cyber-shot QX10 & QX100 compatible with XZU?

Hello everybody,
Sony launched today two new lenses(Sony Cyber-shot QX10 & QX100) for Smartphones. Does someone know if it works on XZU, i mean the back part where you put the XZU between the two plastic lips

Since it will be using the NFC on the XZU to sync, yes it will work.
Sony QX100
As the QX100 uses the same sensor as the Sony RX100 image quality should be excellent.
No flash though ...
100% I will get it.

Already pre-ordered mine from Amazon :laugh:
I originally thought, when I first heard about these lenses, that the reason Sony didn't put a flash on the ZU was, because these lenses would have a better flash. So, here are the lenses, & still no flash?
Do we need to get a separate flash attachment too now?

Getting the XPeria Z Ultra with this, it will be awesome!
Tomorrow XPeria Z Ultra arrives on stores @ Portugal!
Can't wait to try it heheheh
As i saw the announcement of the DSC QX100 i thought this is the answer why Sony put in the so-so cam into the XZU ... but - as per a german magazine (Link), the mount (like on the picture) of both versions will not fit for the huge XZU.
So it should work (finder, nfc, exchange etc.), but not as one unit.
But i trust Sony would be hardly wrong, if they're not pushing for an updated version, incl. compatibility fro the XZU.

Exactly what I was thinking mate. Everyone is raving about the lenses but with no xenon flash I just don't see the point. Great idea just missing that one feature that would make me buy it over a regular camera. And to all those people who say you don't need the flash well if that was teh case sony wouldn't include a flash in the regular RX 100 II camera now would they?

Sony said that they will make available covers which have mounts for these lenses built into them, at least for all major models.
Just like the one in IFA yesterday, the one Hirai had in his hand (The Z1, back cover with mount built in, which can make-do as normal phonce cover and QX100)

The only defence to the lack of flash on the RX100 I have is this:
French Laundry, Napa, CA
I took these for my wife with a Sony RX100. It was very very dark. Flash was not allowed, as a courtesy to other diners. Notice the white balance and the lack of noise?
Would I prefer it had a flash? Absolutely. But I am confident that even without it the images from this sensor and processing will be stellar.

Fair play I must admit they do look pretty good. Still I think Id rather still have the full RX100, does make the lens only option more palatable mind. Thanks for that :good:
Look at that photo, looks like the Tablet Z, I hope Sony also made something to use those lenses with the Z Ultra.
here is the german page, it says it will work together with the Z Ultra
http://www.sony.de/product/dsc-qx-series/dsc-qx10/passende-produkte#tab
And here the cover:
http://www.sony.de/product/dcc-cases/spa-acx2
I trust Sony is, lets call it willingly ambiguous, stating the compatibility softwarewise and not with view to the mount on the XZU.
From my perspective the ACX2 in an XZU version would be the most decent solution, instead of these two clips.
I would call Sony really stupid, not making the Z Ultra compatible with the QX10/100.
I think the cover is great, will get one together with a QX10.
DP Review First Look at QX100
I'm a bit disappointed that it does not have manual controls or RAW.
I do hope however that the ability to use the new Sony Camera API will mean an application developer will provide RAW and manual support.
From Xperia UK Customer Services:
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre regarding compatible devices.
With regards to your enquiry, there is currently no plans that we are aware of to make the Sony RX100 compatible with the Sony Xperia Z Ultra at this moment in time.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

It's pretty obvious that it'll work with the Ultra isn't it? That lens is mounted on a god damn tablet, so it won't be any problems with the Ultra.
Yes they are compatible
Both QX10 and QX100 are compatible with Sony Xperia Z Ultra...atleast based on this

The mount that ships with the camera is too small. The mount shown with the tablet hasn't been announced confirmed. Also, if you look at it, there's no obvious guarantee that it will go as small as 92mm (smaller than most tablets), so it may be too small.

The cameras are compatible in the sense that you can use the ultra as the viewfinder etc but you can't at present physically clip it to the phone. So, far less useful.

Why P? Why not S,Acro S or Ion?

Earlier this morning I was browsing the internet looking for a 2nd hand Xperia Acro S or Xperia S.
And then I started to browse the Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion Forum here on XDA.
Sad to say that there are only few customized ROMs/Kernels on those devices. Those devices are
even more powerful than Xperia Go, Sola, U and P. But why the Developers doesn't seem like to
explore the powerful devices and they keep focusing on the low-end devices.
Well I'm lucky I have an Xperia P and lots of to choice what to customized.
Planning to buy Xperia Acro S.
Hope they will focus on some high end devices too

acro s is 2012 but sp is 2013 phone. S is not to be supported beyond 4.3 I think but Sp gurantees at least 4.4 and is very new in terms of both specs and looks. In fact the development is on full swing, you can see S just has 2 kernels but Sp has many

i'm viewing the SP and i know that it is really ahead of specs than any other 2012 xperia phones.
but the problem is the display. do you think the TFT capacitive touchscreen of Sony Xperia SP is not worth than Xperia Acro S or Xperia S?
some have;
Super AMOLED
IPS TFT PureMotion HD
LED-backlit IPS TFT capacitive touchscreen
True HD-IPS + LCD capacitive touchscreen
the display is 10% why im still not be able to say Xperia SP is better than 2012 phones
What kind of screen type will you prefer for your smartphones? And why?

no xperia has amoled
and display should have no problem at all!
it is the specs that matter!
Why P is good?
Steel body
Beautiful and highly visible display
Nice overall feel
Good battery (small but works well, yes it could alwys be better...)
Reasonable price (especially now compared to one year earlier)
It depends on where you come from! I switched from iphone 3G and my first though was: whooooa this is a PHONE. Beautiful in hardware, software.
However there is a huge downside unfortunately:
many users have reported call lags -> grab an independent one with unlockable bootloader and use CM that way you can avoid it and enjoy lightning speed with a nice, albeit different design.

Improved Camera on Z Ultra

Users of Z Ultra know that the Camera click pics are not upto the mark.
But the new firmware update 4.3 made me feel that Camera got improved and it clicks good pics.
Now I'm more happier than before.

Feels like the camera has improved as well. There is a lot less "grain" in the shots now. But I do also have som issues with flickering when recording video. Think that it maybe the auto focus that's playing up.

Feels like the camera has improved as well. There is a lot less "grain" in the shots now. But I do also have som issues with flickering when recording video. Think that it maybe the auto focus that's playing up.

I checked with the Video Recording and it's surprising to see that it records very well now.

It's almost the same. However, it also depends on the picture detailing.
Now I can happily take out my Z Ultra and capture moments without hesitation. :thumbup:
Interesting. It would've been nice with a few shots from 257 and 290 so we could compare them side by side, but that's pretty hard to do unless someone takes a photo of something, upgrade and take the same photo again.

All very similar.. On screen the 290 4.3 pics clearly look the best.

You need to press + Apps button on top right while choosing camera mode in camera interface, it will bring you sony select app filtering for camera effects on the play store.

Just tried a pic today using the old 532 firmware.
To be honest, in GOOD light the phone takes good pictures.
Here is one I took earlier on today:

It's the default settings in the new '.290 ROM superior auto camera mode' if you want to change it back to 8MP then switch to manual mode.
So was the camera really much better in the older ROMs? The pictures i get from 290, regardless of which camera app I use seem to be too "soft.."

[Q] Xperia Z Ultra Contender

Hey Everyone ... since apparently we wont be recieving any upgrade soon for the Zultra ... whats the next phone you'd suggest ... i do realize that samsung is out of the deal with its plastic mess ... HTC one m8 sounds like a good deal ... tell me what you think!
Don't know if it worth upgrading... a few more Hz and some RAM

Rumor has it that Motorola and Google might release a 5.9in Nexus code name "shamu". I am waiting to see if that is the case. About .5 inches too small IMHO, but might be something to look into if true.
What do u think about Lg G pro 2 ?

I'm afraid that we have no better choice for the replacement. So for me just hoping that this ultra's battery can last as long as possible and whenever it doesn't hold any more charge, hopefully Sony still have the sparepart. Or you know, xperia z2 with modded 400 ppi would be nice.
Lenovo? Yeah right, like you don't need any Android update at all.

The lenovo has no microsd-slot
I think the lenovo is the only real alternative. Everything else is of lower spec. But having said that the present ultra doesn't really need to be upgraded imo. Specs are plenty good enough to run everything I throw at it and never really feel lags as such. So why waste the money?! But then again even I can't help myself but have a change
