Just got my Z1 ths afternoon, Black, now charging up!

that the exact 1st question i wanted to ask, my 1080p video looks like 480p video in Z1 but was perfectly sharp and fine in my other 2 phone. even n a QhD moto Razr.

just pull out the original and replace it, i am thinking could it be for Z ultra? or some model which r thicker? or we can use it with case on!

my video all were downloaded from youtube with 1080p in .mp4 format. those MP4 looks fine in my other devices..

ok, will try turn off.

i use tubemate to select download 1080p video.

Seem like X-reality is the culprit for the grainy video...

when i turn off, the video is very sharp and fine.

When x-reality on, the process try to enhance the contrast, so when the object is small in the video, the edge(lines) seem to be blur, not sharp. but when display large object, it is fine.

X-reality give a more "3d" feel due to the better contrast~~~~

My Z1 1st day batt usage
60% wifi, 40% 3g
screeb brightness 50%

Rooted。

haven remove any bloatwares yet. i use greenify to hibernate active apps during screen off.

for those who cant stand the warm hue(yellow tint), can try "screen adjuster" from play store, can adjust blue abit so that get white screen.

i refer here
Root Z1

i also almost break the thing when 1st try to open, but then found out the screw~~~~

when posting battery usage, it is good to include:
screen on time.
Wifi? 3g?
screen brightness setting.

not to said to show off or wat, just good info for members here for a reference.

no no, i nv said you show off, just for sharing is good for members
u click into the screen in the battery usage then u can see the screen on time.

My 2nd battery usage sharing, this time on 100% 3g, brightness 50%, actually i expect the batt life could be better with 3000mah. the result below is just on par with my previous phone at 2300mah.

Shortcut to the hidden buttons.

rooted and install GMD hide soft key

sony really did a good job on stamina mode in standby time.

but what really matters is the screen on time, what the use to have good battery life when the phone sleeping all the time?

from my test, Z1(3000mah) only on par or slightly better compareto my previous HTC one (2300mah), Screen on time around 3.5~4hrs with 3g data on 100%. and my colleague note 2 can hit up to 5hrs screen on time at times with only 3100mah in the same condition. this is wer the Amoled show the energy saving power compare to traditional TFT.

to date my best batt usage stat. 80%wifi 20%3g, screen brightness @ 60~70%。 stamina mode on for 8 hrs during sleeping time.

i did a quick read on the flashtools from sony developer world website, found :

1. only for unlock bootloader device.
2. Z1 is not in the supported device list.

i am not sure whether this contribute to the reason ur phone can be detected.
