Hi guys. I intend to buy a second-hand Z3 in a few days and I am wondering on how to make sure that it has not been tampered with and that the original drm keys still exist.
I believe that looking if the X-reality settings are present is one indication that the drm keys are present, but such settings would also be present if the pseudo "drm fix" was applied to the phone.
Is there any way to make absolutely sure that the previous owner has not lost the original drm keys of the phone and that they are present in the phone ?
Thank you!!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a device that works only with the nfc reader and gives only audio feedback using my samsung galaxy mini 2 gt-6500 (so i don't need the screen, and I want to prevent any user interaction via buttons or touchscreen).
I was curious to know if I can safely remove the display/touch screen, and turn on my device without any risk (of course my app is launched automatically).
I know that there are many laptops that have a fuse that blows if the screen is not connected...someone has already experimented something like that?
thanks very much
Does the Google Camera (or other 3rd party camera apps) use the DRM keys that are lost when unlocking the bootloader for the Xperia Z3 for night shots?
Reason I ask:
I played around with automatic settings for the Sony Z3 camera app, and the Google Camera app, and the shots really weren't that much different. Yes the Sony camera app did a slightly better job, but the Google Camera app was by no means far behind.
Now, my thought process is, if I UNLOCK the bootloader (hence losing the DRM keys which high the night shot algorithms), then we know for sure the Sony Z3 low light capabilities will go down the drain, so....
If the google camera app DOES NOT use the DRM keys, technically, once the booloader is unlcoked the low light shots will be better than the Sony Camera no?
If this is not the case, then the DRM keys technically directly affect the hardware, NOT the software of the Z3 device no? Meaning that once the bootloader is unlocked, ALL camera apps quality will go down the drain.
Google camera does not use the keys, Google this there are tons of articles showing side by side differences...what you loose is marginal plus android L allows raw images.
Hi
I bought an used z3 and i found there is a problem with its microphone which is weak and causes problems during calls, i want to know is there a patch, app or anything else to increase sensitivity, i have to say i changed microphone sensitivity in settings but it is still weak.
Second request: is there a way to disable temperature warning in xperia camera app?
Im on .232 lollipop build
Thanks a lot
Hi,
since no one wanted to answer my questions, i searched phone to find my solution.
the only solution i found is for thermal warnings, by this way u will completely disable thermal control so warning messages wont appear anymore.
first of all u need a rooted Z3
now u have to edit build.prop file. for that i used "Kernel Adiutor" or u can directly edit that file in /system/build.prop with any editor.
just delete "ro.semc.thermal" from build.prop and restart your phone. that's all.
and if someone give me a way for microphone problem i will be thankful.
@agent.47 unfortunately it's not about not wanting to answer, but not knowing what the problem might be, especially as it's used it seems probable that it's a hardware malfunction, either due to water damage or factory failure.
Nice to hear you figured out the problem with the camera though
@Jkay7, thanks for reply, i know that may be a hardware problem, but there must be a way to adjust sensitivity using software, i may find it in future. Thanks!
What i Lose if i open the bootloader of my Xperia Z5? Even if i get DRM keys back up. i lost camera quality or sony services, i dont know what happen but i want to root my phone, if someone can explain to me please !!!
If you Back up the DRM keys, nothing!!!

My Xperia [Sony's security & tracking service] - disable this - otherwise you might have a risk to brick your phone (it happened already (!))
DRM for camera, DSEE HX, etc. all should continue working
so i recently read a article that since android pie a couple of xperia devices including the XZP Dont get affected anymore by unlocking the bootloader.
is this true? if so does anything still get affected?
kinda looking for a rom thats a bit fresh or maybe a rom that allows the use of the 120hz display (if possible yet)
not worth it, just sell the phone and get oneplus 6 insted
Not sure "not affected" would be the way to put it; basically the camera works if you didn't backup your TA partition. If you want video enhancements and the clear audio stuff you will still need to backup you TA partition. There are well documented ways of doing all that and it doesn't take too long, just follow the guide and backup/restore your TA partition and you don't have to worry about it. That being said, you still need a modified kernel to make sure the video/audio enhancements work, basically you just need one that hides the fact that your bootloader is unlocked.
From what I heard from others, from what I read from Sony itself and what I have experienced. Unlocking on pie does nothing to degrade camera quality nor does it effect image enhancement nor does it effect sound quality. If u want OTA updates and having everything automated for u, stay stock. If you want complete control of your device and u want to mod it but u would have to update manually here and there go rooted. As for 120hz a few 8.0 roms had it working back in the day, but as for pie I haven't seen anything. And as for the one plus phone. If u like modding it would be a great phone to get but nothing about the one plus appeals to me. I'm Sony man to the core.
The image enhancing did not seem to work for me before I restored my TA partition and flashes a kernel that hides bootloader unlock. It was working for you without doing any of that?
