[REQUEST] Touch screen calibration

Hi,
Just wondering if any devs will come across this thread since I was hoping that they can make somehow a touch screen calibration app for the z1 since it really has touch issues. You may refer to the thread found in the sony forums and youtube to see how worse is the issue.
Touch screen fails to recognize touches and its really annoying that it affects the daily use and you cant use your phone when gaming..
I really hope someone kind will help me out as this will also be a great help to other people who have the same exact problem.
Many thanks.

is that stock rom? My phone is not rooted. I haven't heard of that firmware version yet.
EDIT: the update is only for telstra users only.. no update is found on PCC and SUS.

I made flashable zip for myself, but I think flashing 259's kernel is enough.
There are too many bloatwares... haha

Is there a difference between your flashable zip and the one here in the forums? my model is c6903 LTE. will it affect my phone since I'm using what's designated in my country. Or if that did not solve the issue can I use SUS to revert back to my original firmware?
EDIT ADD: so you do have before the touch issue when using the phone during games and when its flat on a surface in which the phone stops registering touches?

I just merged 259's system in flashable .257 zip.
You can uncheck all "Wipe:" and uncheck Kernel only and check all others in "Exclude:" to prevent overwriting your system or baseband.
I'm using C6903 UK LTE, I flashed my zip and kernel only and I can still use LTE on .259 with no problem.
Yes, you can always use SUS or Flashtool to reverting back.
My issue was during games.

Thanks for the detailed explanation mate, I'll send a pm also to you later. I'll try what you have said by the time I got home. I hope it works. For the mean time, may I ask a favor? can you please try placing your z1 on a flat surface and try running the service test to see if the problem is really solved since the issue is very hard to replicate. Several tries/attempts are needed.
First try placing your phone on top of a paper, then on a pillow and last is on a flat table.
Sorry to trouble you but you really got my hopes up for my ****ty z1.

Thanks mate, been waiting for your reply as I'm refreshing the page once in a while. Have you tried continuous lines or scribble since that triggers the problem when you're using the screen continuously without lifting your finger.
Sorry if I'm really bothering you but I really just have to confirm and once this fixed the problem, I can share your tip to the guys at the sony forum so that they will be freed from the touch screen curse. I really appreciate your help and effort.

Thank you very much for your time and effort. oh By the way, before you flash the .259 is the problem extreme or very persistent?

Yep, that's my main gripe with the touch issue as it loses touch and returns again. I'll try what you have told me at home then if it works or not I'll get back to you.
I'll be holding on to what you have said that the touch problem is not there anymore since you flashed .259 :good:

users on .259 reported that their touchscreen issue was not solved even after updating to .259
Really sucks since my problem gets from worse to worse day by day

So your saying that flashing the 259 kernel alone would be enough to eradicate the touch screen issue? Don't really want to flash another rom but it is annoying.

If you get it then put it out here, let the community benefit.
As for customer support, i emailed them about the bootloader issue with people who have a status of No and the response was just like i was speaking with a robot, i asked is there a way around it and that the previous response was neither helpful nor educational and I got another of the same responses, i've sent a third email asking if they just copy and paste an email from a list and if I don't get a human response with at least a glimmer of hope then i'll be boycotting Sony for life and i'll make sure everyone knows how poor their services are.
I've never asked them a question in my life, I did mention that and this is the response I get, lol forget that, I've learnt a few lessons from getting this phone, first one being never buy a sony again and second, always check if the bootloader is unlockable and not locked because of a networks request.

I just registered to reply to this as I came across the Doogee DG350 on focal price today and have bought one, after doing a Google search for reviews etc I came across your post. The 4.7 720p screen with the MTK6582 quad core and 1GB is what sets this apart from other handsets at this price, otherwise you would have to sacrifice resolution, screen size or CPU cores. Can't wait for it to arrive, even more so can't wait to see if you can manage to root it and try out some custom FW :good:

Doogee DG350, Doogee DG650 and Doogee DG2014 is a very good phone. http://www.doogeemobile.com/ This is DOOGEE Mobile official site?

Hi, i've read that someone noticed a kind of lag in the bottom part of the touchscreen. Can you please confirm it's all ok with the touchscreen ?
And .. what about the battery life ? is it good ?
Thank you

yeah the touchscreen works fine, except I've noticed that when taking photos using the stock camera app that the onscreen shutter button only appears to work with a certain section of the button and if pressed elsewhere on the button it does not work (hence appearing to look like lag on the bottom part of the touchscreen), IMO this is not a problem with the touchscreen but with the camera app itself and hopefully future updates will fix this or you could use the volume button as the shutter or use a different camera app entirely though I havent tried any other camera apps as I just got used to pressing the shutter button in the right location or just used the volume button.
EDIT: the battery life seems to be fine so far however only been using for 3 days and today since the morning till now (9pm) the battery has gone done to 66% after some light use during the morning and wifi use (downloading GPS maps ~400mb) in the afternoon.
Hope this clears things up or maybe even made you even more confused
Good luck

Thank you for your review, I also thought that the lag was from the stock camera app and not the hardware- so I recommend to use the great Lenovo Super Camera:

Hi,
Thanks for the app suggestion, will try it as soon as I get time to
Also I'm wondering if anyone has started to develop custom roms for the Doogee DG350 (or Umi X1 Pro) because that would be awesome as I'm keen to see if Kitkat would work on this. Realistically I guess I would have to wait for a larger user base before anyone would start developing custom roms but its worth a shot
Thanks,
Kasun

hi :] I want to buy it for my girlfriend...

Hi Arielbgb,
I don't really have any experience with the Newman N2 but just checking the pandawill site specs, the phone appears to be have better specs (better back camera, 8gb rom compared with 4gb, etc) than the DG350 but if you do believe the Newman N2 might have problems you should probably ask the Pandawill site what their returns policy is just incase something goes wrong, the DG350 might have problems as well its pretty early on from release so you can't really tell till sometime has passed.
Also the Newman N2 appears to have better community dev support with some custom roms already available. Overall what type of phone you want is down to personal preference and if the N2 doesnt have any problems it looks like the better phone IMO but I guess the DG350 looks more stylistic however the N2 probably has cases that will improve the look, I probably would have got the N2 phone too if I had known about it before I purchased my DG350.
Hope this helps somewhat and goodluck with whatever phone you choose
EDIT: I haven't come across any other problems with my DG350

I ordered this device and I am waiting yet. However, I was talking with other Doogee Dg350 users and:
No GPS problem if you root it and use mtkdroidtools.
Camera issue is known by Doogee and they are working on it to fix it.
Touchscreen seems to work better with another launcher as Nova, but the problem is still there. In addition, when the device is on a table, bottom touch doest not work properly.
There is a video issue. Every 8-10 seconds, the video has a strange behaviour. Something like black frames or similar.
Youtube video has lag. It is a "hardware decode" issue. If you install another app that allows you to change to "software decode", the problem is solved. For instance, Viral Youtube or MXPlayer.
Anyway, these all problems were sent to Doogee technical service.

Doogee from last year began to develop mobile phone, the quality of the mobile phone will have certain problems.

Thanks for the list of problems Mabil, I can confirm the video blackscreen issue and the youtube issue doesnt seem to be very apparent when using the official youtube app however using the browser version there is evident lag. So far I havent ran into any problems with the touchscreen itself, it maybe for some users only.
Also I'm wondering if there is any dedicated forum to the Doogee DG350/Umi X1 Pro or where you were talking to other DG350 users?

I would make sure that the GPS works on the N2, had the biggest disappointment with my newly bought K18.
After trying to contact Newman several times with no success I decided that I am done with them.
Worst GPS ever, I also ordered the Doodgee DG350, cant wait for it to arrive.
Its very similar to the Inew V3. So far I only read good stuff about it aaaaaand GPS works fine es well.

thanks for the help :]
I also read that the gps on newman n2 working very bad.
so I think i choose dg350 :] r u sure that the gps working well? maybe any screenshots on "gps test" from some1 who have it?

It looks gorgeous, but the fp placement ruined it

I prefer the front fp placement because of unlocking from the table right away without lifting the phone. The Huawei phone with rear fp, will have on screen navigation keys (= less screen estate) as Huawei barely uses Capacitive ones. And i think this shape takes least space compared to the round iphone or on the meizu phone. So ease of use and maximum usage of front bottom bezel.

The best fp placement is on the side (in the power button)

Make sure you get an unlocked version and see if setting up english language works for you as changing the system language is easy but apps still shows chinese. And also, you may need to work and put some effort in getting google work. ( no google framework or playstore).
Do check properly and get some hands on rather ordering online or checking a dummy handset.

Yep. I know about phones in china, no phones are locked in china, unless sold from dedicated carriers, but some carriers request a dedicated sim slot for there sim, but from the information in huawei's site, both slots is opened to all network, but one will be locked to 2G, if the other is using 3G or 4G.
and yes, play store is not available in china, it needs to be modded into the phone, some will work, whiles some don't, I'll just have to try, otherwise I will just have to side upload apk.

GPU Turbo updates starts rolling out in Europe

Honor France just gave news about GPU Turbo update: Rollout just started in Europe (L29-C432 varient)
https://twitter.com/Honor_FR/status/1025380935334805505

this have any effect outside of gaming?
becuz i dont play gamez on my phone.

Don't apps need to be specifically coded to take advantage of GPU Turbo? Or does it just automatically apply to everything out of the box?

The official change log says it does, but I can't find it in the camera app anywhere.
Maybe they made a mistake and accidentally added that line?

Hmm, have you tried the 'old' night mode? Maybe it was replaced with it. Or maybe it works with AI scene recognition. Anyway, the super slow-mo video is there in camera app? Thanks for info, mine L29 has not received the update yet.

Hmm, have you tried the 'old' night mode? Maybe it was replaced with it. Or maybe it works with AI scene recognition. Anyway, the super slow-mo video is there in camera app? Thanks for info, mine L29 has not received the update yet.

I tried using the original Night Mode and there was no difference. “480FPS” was enabled, however it’s clearly an interpolation effect with the camera recording at a lower frame rate. I’d say that the camera is actually recording at 120 or 240FPS and just using an optical flow effect to fill in the rest of the frames.

Its been out but not google approved yet. So just wait few more days and you will get it. Usually the updates are going in batches and not all at once

And what this update will bring in your device

It will not really be like the P20 pro, but it will have it.

May I know which country you're from? It's really frustrating to see that other people are already getting the update while you're still stuck checking for system updates every hour

Sure, I'm from Poland. I was in beta tests of GPU Turbo update (build 8.1.0.140)
Changelog doesn't mention it, but GPU Turbo and new slow motion was included then

(Please help) advice needed with s6 sm-g920f after factory reset

Hello, and apologies if this is the wrong section or topic etc beforehand.
Ok, my dilemma began after going on holiday and the s6 got splashed by sea water. The only help I got was a tub of rice from my Turkish compatriots. by the next day it was charging and working perfectly, but I had lost service and wifi.
when I returned home I did all the troubleshoots, mess around with network settings, and then the recovery settings delete cache, and in the end, the factory reset to no avail.
so my next step was to order 99.9% alcohol and give everything a soak and good clean, there was some minor corrosion under the hood, but this device has never been opened from new and everything looked like new, so hardly anything going on that looked damaged whatsoever. After piecing it all back together and switching the device back on, I'm still exactly the same everything working perfectly but no network or wifi?
I have exhausted all ideas and avenues and I'm now wondering if flashing the firmware or trying to downgrade might solve it in any way, the problem is I haven't flashed a device since my nexus 5 original.
It is currently factory reset to 7.0
Build:920FXXU6ERC9
Baseband:920FXXU6ERC2
Any ideas or help to get this back up and running would be amazing and appreciated greatly.
Im stuck,
Many thanks in advance
MM

Yes open it then brush it with a brush with alcohol

I already cleaned it all, connections the lot, motherboard,
not sure which bit IC is? but I pretty much cleaned it all over, I might strip it down and again tomorrow and target the wifi area again......
I'm seriously out of ideas, but everything else is working flawlessly

Am I replacing it or just cleaning it? and does this antenna act for both wifi and network signal, as its both connections that are failing, infact I think bluetooth is also a culprit, basically anything that uses frequency.
Many thanks for your solo efforts in supporting my issues,:good:

only other option is I have an s6 motherboard on eBay at 29.99, I know for certain everything else is fine LCD and other connections in my current device, would swapping my board to a used but tested from a trusted seller solve the wifi, network carrier and Bluetooth issues?
id basically be swapping a board with potential issues for one without, and just attaching my LCD and daughterboard over
