Notification LED manipulation + performance question. - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I became a happy owner of an E5823.
Is there any info out there about performance differences between models? I mean, is it a lottery to get a badly performing model? (Mine lags sometimes)
Another question about the notification LED, is there any way of changing its colors depending on the type of notification and the frequency of it flashing? (like in the case of SGH-T699)

Yes, I use Light flow app.

If you root there's xposed modules for notification LEDs, I'm sure there are for unrooted as well. As for performance differences, they are all the same hardware as far as I know. Different displays for different regions as well as software but that should be where the differences end.

Hm... This is my second Z5 Compact (had to return last one - no screen protector when i oppened the box), I seems more choppy... Will investigate
EDIT:
Well, Im not sure what is going on, but eveytime i enter setting for the first time after unlocking, I get a slight lag/screen freeze for a split second. Any idea on that one?

Color Banding

My Brother just got his Galaxy S2 and when he started Angry Birds I saw the color banding there.
Its not an effect of the AMOLED, its in the software (else you wouldn't see it on the screenshots).
Here are comparison screenshots:
HTC Desire (2.3.3) (click for big version)
SGS2 KE2 (click for big version)
Can this be fixed somehow? Maybe with KE7 firmware?
Or is this a problem solely from Angry Birds?
hmmm
Ok so I ripped a background overlay from angry birds (the sun ray casting)
Can you run the attached and press switch button see if that is the effect of which you speak?
Edit: I also now think that it could be something to do with how the GPU uses ETC compressed bitmaps

16 bit option shows more severe banding. However the 24 bit colour also shows some light banding effect.
Strange thing is, when I open this page on my phone, the |HTC screenshot shows no banding at all... which seems to indicate an issue with how the GPU/ Driver handles the image in-app which causes the banding.
maybe this could work?

I don't have any colour banding issues really. Maybe only very few in blue mid-tones and very dark green. But not noticeable.
Usually is set to low colour mode by the developer/app. So 99% likely that it's not a fault.
What is the source of your informations?
Thank you btw!

me? my eyes? my devices, the fact that I set my apps to 888 or on some devices they default to 565? Not sure what you mean...
this colour bandings not on all sgs2's, im on my 3rd.... 1st 2 were fine n had no colour banding at all, but im on my 3rd now and this 1s awful, massively noticable on the nexus live wallpaper, the grass 1.... doesnt really matter what the colours are, this 1 has a really dull screen too...... gutted
Colour Banding
Well, my SGS2 was sweet until i flasha custom rom , now even with the same stock Orange UK rom the colour is fakked up!1111 it now feels like a cheap chinese copy of the SGS2.
Even at boot the Orange animation has 50% colour that it used to have.....
I have to say I never really noticed this (or at least let it bother me). I just fired up angry birds and can see what you mean. Annoyingly, I only just flashed KI3 to a mates SG2, else I could have looked at his to see if it is any different.

I am having this issue with my SGS2, but I don't believe it's a hardware problem. I took screenshot on a Moto device, and transferred the PNG image to SGS2. The gradient color is shown without any color-banding effect.

New 12070 firmware arriving soon to your Lumia 800

New firmware update arriving soon, 8107.12070
The following is a compilation of all known fixes & improvements in 12070:
• Battery drain issue has been fixed
• Lack of audio Bass when listening through headsets has been addressed
• Auto-white balance issue with the camera has been fixed
• Hardware buttons backlights are now always illuminated at all available screen brightness levels
• Diagnostics app has been updated to prevent users from receiving misleading technical readouts about their device
So why Nokia continued to say there is no battery bug, I do not know, if they claim that there's a new battery drain issue that has been fixed?
And why do I get the feeling that they've fiddled with the diagnostics to give you the readings you want to see?
Sigh, no tethering still.
Nice. Battery fix, just what I need to make me love my phone again.
Nice to see the lack of bass is going to be fixed! Thats my only gripe with my phone.
You can load the firmware 1270 with Nokia Care Suite.
Yes but isn't it vodafone branded?

and what about supported languages, i'm interested in Greek especially
I still haven't received the previous update... How long will that take? ...
Discharging is almost about one half smaller..on the network, wifi, flying mode etc
May be I would be able to write it will stand the same as HTC Titan
I send you a picture from a really bad conditions so pls forgive the quaility..
Looks nice! Do you know, when it's going to hit the public?
And does it fix audio problem for real? Because some song sounds really bad...

Music sounds a lot better than before
You can simply try vf nz.
I downloaded the 1600.2487.8107.12070 firmware and compared it to another phone I have running the older firmware. Whitebalance (picture quality) is much better, there is more bass in the music (same volume) and the battery drain seems to be cut in 1/2 at idle (as shown by the diagnostic tool).

give me tethering and I'll have one with in 24hrs
i squezed 4.5 days (on edge) out of the battery and i use purity monster in-ear earphones and listen to trance, the highs and lows are crystal clear, like Nokia always promisses. i can't complain much about the bass but i'm waiting desperatly to check out the latest firmware.
I can compare L800 to iP4S and N9. MS should work harder to improve battery life.
Other available product codes for the new firmware 12070

[Q] Whites not white

Hi i have just got this device and so far love it i just have a question if i look at a blank browser window i can see that white is not pure it has a sort of yellowish tint and if i compare to my ipad the difference is clear on the ipad the white is totaly white. Any one noticed this and how are your whites.
This is already widely known and discussed in various threads.

Have just looked at every thread in questions and cant find anything usefull about this issue i would like to know if i should exchange my device and insist on one with proper whites if they exist or if everyone has this problem and i will just get another one with the same issue
I notice this and me too was to compare this with my wife ipad2 notice specially the browser was yellowish but if the brightness is high it turn white. I had the same with my Galaxy S2 but in the settings you can change the screen scenario (CM10.1). For the browser I use UC Browser, you can set the brightness for the browser a bit higher to make the white more white.

Just downloaded and used screen adjuster from play store and set blue to 11 and yellow tint is gone with that setting whites are nearly pure white so i will keep device as im sure it will be sorted in a rom at some point
A few days I also tried Screen Adjuster, but meh! it's not good.
Slows everything down.
Try scrolling in a good (!) browser (i.e. not Chrome) without Screen Adjuster - buttery smooth and fast. Then activate Screen adjuster and see lags all over the place.
I f I wanted that I could remain with my old Acer A700...
Another issue is that Screen Adjuster is not running all the time; when you start an app, you will sometimes see that S.A. kicks in only a bit later.
There are screen calibration apps by Sony built-in in certain smartphones, also the Xperia Z. So there is hope (and we users must insist) that Sony releases such an app for the Tablet Z in the near future...
for that to happen we need a forum that people from Sony will see and read .........

So is it hardware or software? Any ideas?
You can flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190293 and use the white balance from the Z / ZL phones, shows up then under Display

Yep, works fine ! I have a 16GB Wifi, on 370 rooted, UB. Same setting as I have on my Xperia Z for white balance.

that sounds great did install that on my experia z will give it a go and would appreciate if you could you tell me what settings you use.
Each display is different - so you have to try for yourself.
My display has a yellowish-greenish tint; saturation=7.5 and color=209 works quite well for me.
(Thanks for the tip, by the way!)

Android wear 1.4 (6.0.1) update really makes the watch much smoother on my WI502Q

Apart from speaker support (502Q model does not have one), new 6.0.1 update brings lots of performance improvement over last 5.1.1 firmware. It does not unlock extra cores of cpu or boost clock or anything, but overall smoothness makes everything function better already.
It used to lag, freeze, miss my input attempt or even drop my swipe action and press random places where I did not intent to press. They are almost gone. I am not saying it is smooth as butter, but input mechanism and performance improvement is really visible.
Apart from that, nothing really changes in functional perspective. Little minor tweaks here and there, and that is it.
But I'm very happy indeed to have 6.0.1 on this watch and finally it is a pleasantly useful device to have on my wrist.
Good job, Google. Bad job Asus, not putting a speaker on smaller variant without mentioning it.
+ I didn't have a chance to test call control functions which did not work properly before on my Galaxy S5.
The same on my smartphone, MM running much better than LP.
I would be suprised if its different on the watch...
Sounds great. Quick question: does the Always On screen Option is still available?

It's been rolling out for almost two days. But only for smaller variant WI502Q. Many of the users with WI502Q should have it by now. Hope there won't be too much delay for WI501Q update.

Scratch that! I got mine Friday... Battery life is freakishly better... Mine was charged Friday morning. Battery ran out Sunday afternoon with ambient mode on full time! Speaker is OK (not gonna use it so really don't care lol). Finner controls over permissions and DND mode was a good one too!
Enviado de meu XT1097 usando Tapatalk
Looks to me that it's smoother because they slowed down the animations. Still takes a while to move around the menus, it just doesn't look as bad.
I get the same battery life as before. Ambient mode on, minimal FaceDesigner custom face. 100% in the morning, ends up at ~60% at bedtime.
Sorry misread, thought 1.6 (6.0.1 threw me off)
Is there a plan to make voice a two thing? It would be great if Google Now could respond in voice like on the phone. If it is currently possible to have a two way phone conversation, would it take much to get Google Now to do the same? Would be great or is this a thing that will be way in the future?
Hi!
From today I'm owner of ZenWatch WI502Q. I notice that you are talking here about ambient mode but 502Q model doesn't have ambient light sensor. How can you turn it on? There is no option for turning it on and I'm running latest update.

two redmi 3 screens, and newbie question(s)

So i got myself two redmi 3 from china. one in GREY one in SILVER both with Chinese MIUI with option to select (only) English.
turning them on and installing Play Store (with a tutorial) and a few usual google apps and changing the browser away from the default one to another one made the phones useful (installed apps, defaults).
comparing the two phones I noticed a difference in the screens. the GREY's version has more a "red" tone to it, while the SILVER's has a "blueish" tone. I checked all the warm/cold color, automatic brightness and readmode options. the screens are different. I havent decided which one i find worse but they are both pretty bad compared with the redmi note 2 full HD screen i had before (2ghz, 16gb).
how can I find out what screen models are in those phones? I heard they are supplied by JDI, a japanese jointventure. Is it possible to find it out in the serial numbers? thanks in advance.
btw. there is no official "multilanguage" - ROM out yet as far as I know, it is supposed to come out around 10th of march.. will it be possible to flash it through the "MIUI PC SUITE" without rooting or other difficulties involved? thanks again!
I received my xiaomi today and the rom was mutlilanguage even if all the traduction were not great (i'm french). I don't know what rom it was because I flashed it whith a prerooted rom in english.
I think you will be able to flash the new official rom without difficulties when it comes.
Hello darkwark. as far as i know there are 2 different panels used in production of Redmi 3.
You can check wich one your units have using Engineer Menu *#*#6484#*#* it is also very helpful for other things like quick testing all phone features.
As far the quality of the panel, i agree it is not great, my main complain is very poor blacks. However when you consider price of the phone (110$ in china) i think it is amazing for that budget.
many thanks!
so the one is:

i agree they are cheap and great, also the battery is very satisfying compared to the redmi note 2. the battery life was not great. but the screen was wow!

Could you please take a picture of both devices side by side so we could compare the differences?
After reading many posts in MIUI forums it seems that BOE (JDI) is a better display than EBBG (Foxconn) with brighter, more realistic colors and maybe efficiency.
Thanks in advance!
