Check your display manufacturer - Xperia Z General

It would be interesting to see if Sony does indeed use two display manufacturers, so i'm making this thread so people can actually see this. I posted this in the "Clearing up.. blah" thread, but it'll be more effective having a stand alone thread for it.
Now, let's get down to business. You have to be rooted, install a terminal from the Play Store and type this into the terminal:
- su
- dmesg|grep -i panel
Look for "Found panel: mipi_video_********_Full_HD_******"
Some report that a reboot helps if you aren't getting a proper result.
This far we've gotten these results (from the Clearing up.. blahh thread)
JDC panel: 1
- Found panel: mipi_video_jdc_Full_HD_mdy70
Sharp panel: 2
- Found panel: mipi_video_sharp_Full_HD_ls050t3sx01_id_dlogo
Update: You can use _daz_'s app instead so you don't have to use the terminal. Download the app here.

Which one is better?

We don't know yet
Ignore the error in the poll title! I'm tired okay!

Re: [ROOT] Check your display manufacturer
Afaik the dlogo in the Sharp panel string stands for DoCoMo logo, so that logo might actually be in the glass, unlike the JDI panels that have no logos. Are there any Japanese people who removed the shatter-proof sheet?
That also means that all non-DoCoMo-phones are most likely to have a JDI panel.

Except for the fact that tons of people here who have the European version posted the Sharp string.
Need someone who has pulled off the protector and no Logo left on it to post the string, see what panel that is.
You're also wrong about the Japanese units having it baked into the screen. They have "SONY" at the bottom of the panel and I can assure you Sony isn't flipping panels around. They are making two different screen protectors with the logo in them.
Basically your entire post is wrong. Delete it.

btw - coming from the note 2 I thought the screen was better in outside daylight, it only seems to be poor indoors under artificial. Also helps now in running a rom with black bars instead of gray

Re: [ROOT] Check your display manufacturer
Not trolling or anything, just puzzles me why Sony use sharp displays? Sony afterall do make their own displays, so they dont use their own brand? But they then sell their own displays to other manufacturers?
I know all the phone manufacturers do same thing but, Its just weird....

There are few panel makers in the world and Sharp is one of them. The Panel does not decide picture quality on its own, in fact, the backlight is typically far more important, that's where Sony comes in.
Sony used to manufacture their own LCD panels in a joint venture with Samsung but that has been over for a while and they now use Sharp panels for LCDs.

No panel found

It looks clean on the front. Somehow it's a shame that the logo is gone, but I honestly don't care much about it. Now my friends must guess what manufacturer made the phone, without looking at the back.
Maybe I will apply a better screen protector.
edit: The protectors on front and back had some ugly scratches without doing anything rough to the phone. The protectors get scratched rather easily. I knew that from the beginning, so I tried to be extra careful, but i guess that wasn't enough.

Xperia Z - JDC vs Sharp - Comparison Gallery

Hey guys,
I wanna show you a quick comparison gallery that I just did with my iPhone 4S since I received two Xperia Z with Sharp and JDC display.
I know the picture quality is not the best but I don't have any other camera at the moment.
I still don't know which display is the best, are very different from each other...What do you think?
All the pictures with the Sony stock images are taken with the luminosity at 50% the others are all at 100%.
Comparison Gallery - Flash
Comparison Gallery - Dropbox
I hope this can be useful to you all.

I agree, also better viewing angles but the white temperature without any calibration is better on the sharp.
Almost forgot, all the pictures are with the Bravia Engine turned off.
This difference may decrease with the correct settings for white balance, no?
Thanks for your work :good:

Thanks Bro !
So Any Confirmation about where the JDC screen Panel inerted/used & In which Region/Country the Sharp panel are Used in Xperia Z/ZL?????
Nice thanks for the comparisons. Looking at these it is clear that the JDC panel is calibrated different, which has a hue shift strong to the red and blue channels.
What also doesn't help here is you are not straight on, and in many cases there is light bleed and reflections onto the Sharp display, not going to help the case.
If I compare these shots on my phone, I would say that my sharp display with BE2 switched off falls somewhere between both of these, with a tendency closer to the JDC display samples with no screen calibration.

My thoughts exactly. Although, I have ZL (all so far have sharp panels) but I've compared it to & seen many XZ screens (with sharp & JDC ones).
I think default white balance is better on the sharp ones & there is a bit purplish (red/blue) hue on the jdc ones. That being said, I think not all sharp/jdc displays are same either (at least on the demo units). Out of the two, I prefer sharp on retail units (like the one on my ZL), not the demo ones.

If you want i can rip it and re post in something viewable by mobile somewhere. Like jpgs...Let me know..
From your sample, I feel JDC do slightly more vivid but tend to over warm by default, it was much more yellowish.
As for the full brightness in black, this part showing Sharp much constant and better, no bleeding issue.
Mine is Sharp, I had use ZL white balance to gain better white, less yellowish.

White version dirty?

Not sure if it's just my eyes decieving me but any users with the white phone feel that the sides are becoming a lil bit yellowy?
I know the phone isn't pure white, but I don't think the phone itself should change colour with the material used?! :silly:
I use a case too, & I also mean the part that's around the middle glass strips which seem 'drity'?
This is a little knowledge of what my brother taught me raw materials regarding of white paint since he is production manager of our family business manufacturer of paint. It may apply possible in xperia z. There are two version one is pearly white and bluish white. Bluish white is more better and really expensive due to for prolong years of used and wear and tear its white is likely white but not as new. But the pearly white after long year's exposed white will become dirty white. For me, it is inevitable for the white version of xperia z.

If anything a case will be more likely to speed up the process, especially plastic/rubber cases, the chemicals in them are rather reactive with paints. Typically, it shouldn't tarnish that fast, try using some natural non-abrasive cleaning products to bring the white back a bit. White especially will look dirty from just general sweat and mucky fingers. Hope this helps.

I do have a plastic one but find it's not as good when protecting the phone. What form of cleaning products do you recommend that is safe & worth a try? Like I said, it could just be my eyes & the phone was already that colour Just wanted to see if anyone else felt the same?

ANY white surface will yellow over time. It is inevitable, except if you use your phone in a presurized bag and in absolute darkness where UV radiation will not affect it.

Odd serial number?

Hi all,
So I've just bought a new Z1 to replace my Xperia S. I was a bit worried about the screen troubles, but now that I have it in my hand, it actually not that bad at all. Everything is good with the phone, but I was wondering about the serial numbers.
After finding a thread where serial numbers were trying to be linked with poor screens, I saw variations of BH or CB listed as the serial. BH901, CB512, etc.
I went to find mine, and I wasn't able to find anything on the net about it. Seems the serial is BH910. Anyone have any info, or have one the same?
Also, is there anyway I can find the date of manufacture for the phone? I haven't been able to find a country of origin either, even though it's going to be China or Brazil.
Cheers

Yeah, I'm kinda thinking the same now, which hopefully means the same all around the world. Like they have finally corrected all the issues, albeit a bit late. Kinda sucks as I now see the confirmation for the Z2...
I've been going through all the touchscreen issue threads, cant repeat any kind of problems at all with it. Just keeps tracking perfectly.
Same with the screen, I can't see any yellow shade. Colours look great, viewing angles do change the colours a tiny bit, but it's better than the Xperia S. Compared it to 2 Xperia S phones, and it looks brighter and also a more "correct" looking white to the rather blueish white of the Xperia S. Gunna go into a shop here and compare to a display Z1 soon.

Where is that confirmation?
My Z1 is from even newer batch, I suppose (if that's what it means), with serial BH912. Screen is great, though for a while after updating to 4.3 it became warmer but then returned back, by itself, to the colder colors.
Though, the update to 4.3 nearly gave me a heart attack then the phone did not start after it. I had to plug it into charger and do the power button + volume up procedure to return it back to life.
Bought it yesterday, and I do not care about upcoming Z2, - you can never stay on top of things with technology nowadays, there is something new and better all the time.
This is an awesome phone and I expect that Sony will provide major OS upgrades for at least a couple of years to come. And I expect that this will mean that there will be RAW photo functionality, which is something that I want the most, as everything else is excellent.
Mine's is BH900, model C6943, no yellow tint, compared to Xperia ZQ (brazilian Xperia ZL) but definitely touch screen issue. To be sure do the touch screen test on the service menu while gripping the metal bezel.

Mine was already running 4.3 when I got it, I didn't have to update it. Maybe the serial numbers don't relate to build date XD
Definatly it is a great phone so far, pretty much just what I was looking for. I was sick of the Xperia S running out of ram and just general laggyness. This is a welcome change, so so smooth at doing anything. I did an Antutu benchmark and got 35139, not that it means much.
And yeah, I don't reckon the "Z2" or whatever it will be called at MWC will be a replacement.

lol its a rumour... don't believe anything you see in the general section... a lot knee jerk reactions here.... if it is official, you will hear it from sony or get some leaked pictures etc... example, the Z1 compact has been leaked since november... we had the actually pictures... back then everyone whats shouting Z2!Z2! turns out its just a Z1 mini lol
few things you need to remember before believing rumours of flagships:
1. real sony flagship has japanese names
2. they release it first in UK and Asia before the US
3. we will have real leaks months before official release (actual picture of the looks, or camera quality etc) not just someone saying it.

these are just nonsense collection from xperiaguide site.
buy Xperia Z1 and enjoy there s no display issue at all the yellow tint or hue and ... are just because of calibration and not because of bad hardware. the calibration will be nice after next firmware update (that will add white-balance)
:good:

those nonsense collection are the serial number reported on XDA by many non sense members here. If you doubt go flip some pages back on Z1 threads.

Samsung Korea: Tinted Screens Due to AMOLED

Here in Korea, the official Samsung Service Center website has issued a statement regarding pink/yellow-tinted screens. I can't post any links since this is my first post, but you can Google "화면 관련, 이런 증상은 고장이 아닙니다."
Here's my translation:
Q: The colors are different on the top and bottom of my screen.
A: The AMOLED displays used in the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge feature high resolution, chroma, and color gamut in order to produce a clear picture. This may result in slight differences in color. However, please visit your nearest service center if you notice a large difference in color to receive an accurate judgement.

The original statement wasn't very well-written either. They also mentioned that light bleeding around the edges of the screen may occur because they use Flexible Display technology. So, according to Samsung, all of this is normal.
In Korea, you can't just go to the store and ask for a replacement. You have to go to a Samsung Service Center and get your phone inspected for defects. If you're lucky, you'll receive a document that grants you the honor of exchanging your phone. My phone's display was deemed normal, but seriously, the top of my screen is bright and gets darker as you go down... like a gradient. It's really distracting. Additionally, my screen is warmer and lower in brightness compared to other S6 displays. Yet, all I got was a firmware update. Thanks...
I also noticed that a lot of people on the forums are wondering if the Korean-made versions are less defective compared to the ones from Vietnam or China. During my visit, it looked like most of the people there had complaints about their S6/S6 Edges.
I miss the US... Getting your crap replaced was a piece of cake.
I was really hyped up about this phone, but this is most likely my last Samsung.
Nothing to miss in the US.
Getting my device replaced has taken weeks now, and I still don't have a replacement. It took arguing down a whole lot of idiots to even get things this far.
Here's my 925F made by samsung

Two pictures are the same but one of them with high contrast
Some say it can be fixed with an update !

Droid Turbo Stolen (More Info Inside)

So basically, I was in Israel for a month, and of course I had my Turbo with me, along with an Israeli SIM card. To avoid repeating myself, I'll refer you to the post I made in a local Facebook group. Unfortunately, this was actually the first time I brought anything other than a key to the beach with me (1/30 days), and whether it's a coincidence that I was robbed that day, or the fact that the culprits watched me stash it, I'll never know.
Unless the police recover my Turbo, this is goodbye to the subforum. (I just ordered a Nexus 6P)
I appreciate all the work that certain users have put in to make our experience the best possible.
Side note: I actually had multiple completely random people give me money after I asked directions to the police station on the street, so I only have the best to say about Israelis in general. Also, if you think you can help me find the phone, let me know.

Android Device Manager (part of google play) lets you locate your phone, lock your phone, ring your phone.

Unless they've already wiped it.
OK, just read your Facebook post. You already know that. In fact, sounds like you have the same type app I have installed. Good for you. Hope you recover it.

Is there any method or application which we come to know that newly purchased turbo has genuine Led display.
Actually I bought a used Turbo and when I compared it at full brightness with my Maxx and another Turbo I felt that it is more yellowish in comparison to both of these. I I'm suspecious that the genuine Led unit has been replaced.

When you use the Display Tester app, does it show 1440p? There's not that many 5.2" 1440p AMOLED displays out there, that I'm aware of...

Are you running a custom ROM, even ComputerFreak's perhaps?
Says you have "soft keys" And I don't. Also your measurements are slightly different.

No sir, I'm at stock 5.1.
Actually after applying glass protector for led I felt it sometimes less sensitive the Touch Keys of my Turbo(and this makes me more suspecious about Led replacement).
So I I'm using "Handy Soft Keys" software instead of hardware touch keys.
Which measurements are different and what do you guess from these differed measurements ???

I made the same comparison with my friends 's Moto x2
And the result was same. Turbo display is more in yellow colour. It seems that the genuine Led had been replaced with LCD. Is it possible although the pixel density shows more than 565?? Also when I used the "Branding, contrast, saturation test" I noticed that my Maxx has background textured type display whereas Turbo has plain display.

Stock PPI is 565. That can't change. It's hardware related.
Stock DPI is 640. That's software related and can be changed. Some custom ROMs like Resurrection Remix go smaller, to fit more stuff onto the screen.
Here's mine:
Since I don't have soft keys, only the capacitive keys, my screen size doesn't show full 5.2" since some of the screen is being used for the keys and not for display. At least that's my reasoning.
It's possible that the yellow tinted unit or the other unit has experienced some type of burn in.

What type of burn?
Is it possible that an led display is burnt out and it still give display?
u say u think it has been replaced with an lcd instead of an amoled (highly unlikely). however that is the easiest thing to check. go to a dark room, make a wave gesture over the phone to bring up active display and check to see if only time info lights up and the rest is completely black, or if the black emits light (i.e it is grayish). if it is completely black it's an amoled if not it is an lcd. make sure the room is dark (your bedroon at night for example with shutters off etc). keep in mind that no two screens are alike. maybe it is the original but a different batch. i had that on a moto x where the screen was yellow tinted (brand new sealed from store), got it replaced and the next one was much better. also dont expect to ever see true white on an amoled screen (take ur maxx beside a good lcd and compare whites and you will understand what i am talking about)

First of all thank you for your help.
Now at first, I checked in the dark room and found that it is an LED not the LCD.
Second.... Yes it is possible that it may be from different badge but it is also possible that this badge belongs to low quality display as none of the three mobiles(Moto x2,Droid Maxx& another Turbo)resembles to this display and it is prominently visible when compared to those.
Third... I know that Motorola's display is a little bit yellowish green when compared to Samsung etc.
Note: I also noted that it's viewing angles are less than another Turbo...
