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

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.
PLzzz help me ...i can not use my camera xperia z3 ...every time when i just use it for 2 minute message appear to me ( camer must stop cause heat ) that is meaning i can not use the camera any more or take video ...what shall i do ?
note: i updated my phone to android 5.0 and still face this problem ...
What mode are you using for filming?
I donot know whar you mean
I used for picture shot (superior auto) with ratio 16:9
Most likely your software is acting up. Try a factory reset, or maybe just a new flash with wipe of Userdata. If that doesn't work it's most likely your hardware and you need to claim warranty
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!!
First I run on stock sony lollipop firmware
1."Camera is temporarily unavailable due to high temperature. Please wait for your device to cool down before you can use the camera".
Well this would be reasonable if it only appear for 10-15 minutes of camera use
But it appear in 1-2 minutes in normal resolution
2.In manual camera mode there's pink tint on the camera
No pink tint in auto mode
3.Weird speaker cracking sound on top speaker
Oh also I live in Thailand and this is the model that have quick charge 2.0
And most temperature would probably be around 35 Celsius
If those problem can be fixed by installing new custom roms
I would be glad to do so but I would like to know what is the pre requirement you should do before installing new roms since from what I search there is DRM stuff which I don't understand yet (coming from Samsung here)
Did you try a hard reset?
Or use Sony PC companion to repair..ie reinstall rom.

DRM Keys ( Data Management Rights ) -They make features like X-Reality and Post-image processing for the Camera to work, basically Sony's Signature , unlocking your bootloader removes them and that also means the features I mentioned won't work. Most users back them up in the case they want to relock their bootloader and return the DRM Keys
------
The only pre-requirements are:
- A Rooted Z3 with custom recovery, either CWM, Philz or TWRP although most come with 2 like XZDR Dual recovery
- Unlocked bootloader depending on the ROM you want to install, if you want non-sony Roms like CM, AOKP or Slimrom then you need to unlock it
I can't guarantee installing a custom Rom would fix all your problems as the speaker problem you're mentioning seems more like a hardware problem than a software problem.
Good luck!
I have all these problems too, i haven't found a way to fix it but you can find my topic for disabling that temperature alert but temperature will rise up to 70 Celsius while recording.
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?
