I really can't spot any difference with x reality turned on or off. Same goes for super vivid mode. Do I have to restart the device for the changes to take effect?

It only works when you view a picture in the album app. It won't work on home screen or anywhere.

Really? Not even games? Then I can't see why people don't just unlock the bootloaders without worrying about their drm keys.

I recently purchased this phone and I am moving from a Nexus S, which had auto brightness however I can't seem to find it in the options of the Xperia, I did remove a few apps when I got it so I just wondered if anyone could confirm if the phone has the feature or not?
Thanks
Yes it has, but you cant confiqure this by your self without root and some mods.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm going to hold off rooting until I get my unlock code from my network.
Its on by default.

I used "Quick Settings" to turn off auto brightness but it's good to know it can be turned off without installing anything
Using xperia arc over 6 months so trust me, it work very well. I will explain to you via PM when i get to PC

Just tested the auto brightness in bright sunlight. It is working fine. Put my hand over the sensor and the screen got darker. Removed it an the screen got brighter again.
The brightness changes are very slow though. It takes the phone a few seconds to adjust. Which actually is pretty nice since you don't get abrupt changes.

If im not mistake you would either have to be running a custom rom with screen shot option in the extended power menu or just download an app. There are plenty of them for rooted and non rooted users
Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2
hold down the power button, if its a custom rom, it shud most probably be there. otherwise find Power Menu settings and then activate Screenshot
Get screen grabber from the play store. No root required. Be sure to change the settings for root in the app before trying if you don't have root.

Motorola Photon 4G

I've never figured out how to do the Motorola Screen shot on this device without the volume rocker showing up in the pic. I have an old free app called Shoot Me that isn't available anymore. It takes great shots and also does continuous screen casts. There is a color fix setting that needs to be selected for it to work properly on this device. Requires root. If anyone wants a copy, just PM me with your email address and I'll send it to you.

On the Photon Q you should be able to take a screen shot by pressing the power, and volume down button at EXACTLY the same time.

The Photon Q is different than the Photon 4G. The Q runs ICS. The original Photon runs GB. I think you may be in the wrong thread. This thread is for the Photon 4G, not the Photon Q.

Yes, it is like a video recording of your screen. Yes, it works. It is still on the market, but only available with certain models. I attempted to upload a demonstration mp4 but it said "invalid file".

If you're original 4G MoPho then slap a CM7 ROM on that bad boy and set her loose! Screenshot via power button. Then, backup, and flash a Jellybean ROM! Recover back and forth depending on what you need. Play movies via HDMI to your TV? Th3bill's JB ROMs do it naturally. Need Netflix? Recover back to GB, CM7. Never use any third party app on the MoPho. Just get what you need, and flash via custom recovery. I use Th3bill's CWM recovery, I'm old school, but I LOVE TWRP. My Photon is the only device of 4 not to run TWRP. Flashing is fun, easy, and oh so rewarding. Have some joy in your device!
you can find application like screen graber or screen capture ect.. on play store
In the rooted topic ShallaX mentions you lose the Bravia engine if you unlock the bootloader. Is that really so? That would really suck as it's one if the main selling points. I hope i misunderstood, so please tell me it ain't so.

I have been wondering as well as if you flash a custom ROM will the bravia engine activate again ?

Once you unlocked without backup the TA (Now can't also as backup TA need root)
The Bravia Engine / X-Reality will be permanent lost in photo viewing, the video part do working.

This really destroys my motivation to get an Ultra as I need root, but losing Bravia totally sucks. Not getting the full quality from the screen makes it pointless.

Just a detail here: Bravia Engine is only used in Album and Movies. If the BL is unlocked, it usually deactivates in Album but is still used in Movies.
So in all other apps - there's no Bravia Engine. So it isn't a feature that is THAT important, at least not to me. If you use QuickPic or any other app for photo viewing - BE isn't there. Using Photoshop? No BE etc.
So the only loss would be in the Album but to be frank, the Ultra has such a gorgeous display that BE isn't that important. I prefer QuickPic and the photos looks absolutely great.
It had been different if BE had been active all the time like an improved graphics driver but that isn't the case. I think it isn't a good idea to base the purchase on a feature that is only used in two apps.

Yup, BE is/was more important on the Z since it has an awful screen. The ZU has a great display straight out of the box, so I don't see this as a major issue.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Personally I load my photography works in 1020p to 24MP jpeg into my ZU, I cant'r really tell a difference between with Bravia or not.
I guess Braiva Engine would really help for lousy screens or your native file is low resolution.
Which again.. to me I don't see the point in getting a large screen device in FHD and above resolution to view anything below 720p.
Actually.. when I view 720p shows on my ZU I can actually tell the difference in quality between the same show in 1080p.. So IDK how I could tolerate any image or show that is less than 720p.
I don't know about the BE2 currently running on the C6082s out there, but yesterday I've tried a live display unit in Xperia store, and I checked it was a C6833 protoype. It has X-Reality in it, with some demo app that plays videos with some on-screen comparation between X-Reality and normal mode.
And boy, it IS different. VERY sharp (and I didn't notice noise from sharpening) and the color pops even more. Well, I don't know if I'll even realize the existence of X-Reality in real-life usage (and whether the x-reality itself will have the same effect as the demo in real-life scenarios), but seeing the demo made me a bit OCD about the absence of x-reality on an unlocked bootloader device..
Ha, I can wait for the x-reality firmware update and root w/o unlock bootloader solution and backup TA, if any motivation to unlock bootloader suddenly arise :silly:
Will you lose xreality if you unlock as well?

No one really know yet, but it is high possible lost as well.
X-Reality look like just another better version of Bravia Engine.

Can you chose scenes in manual mode, while you are on 20 mpx, or 15mpx?
or is just on 8mp??

Scenes were only possible in 8mp mode on the Z1 so it's entirely possible that it will be the same in the Z2. The camera hardware is the same in both.
I'm using it and can confirm scene mode only works with 8mp
Hello,
I have this annoying issue that when I take a shot with the stock camera app, the photos are automatically resizing. The issue happens not all the time, so I don't think it's a setting issue. I've attached a example of how it looks like.

I suspect you've answered your own question, try uninstalling 20MP superior auto. If that fixes it try asking the devs of the application what is going on, if not post again here.
In general if you have an issue I'd always suggest disabling / uninstalling any apps that could be affecting it, in this case leave just the stock camera app, and then enabling mods one by one until you identify the rogue app.
