About the DRM keys - Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys. I understand that after rooting those are lost.
I've also read that Video Enhancement is lost after unlocking regardless if the keys were backed up or not.
So,- can you tell me how important exactly is this Video Enhancement day to day basis to you? If it tampers with contrast/colors, wouldn't it result in video footage looking unnatural compared to the same footage viewed from a pc? So having it gone would result in more natural viewing experience anyway?
Or, if it does make a difference - are there any natural mods/aps/modules that replicate this effect?
Lastly, is there anything else of importance lost after rooting?
Thanks.

As of Xperia XZP (or XZS, can't remember), all photos you take with the stock camera will show up as green. AFAIK, the ability to mirror your screen is also lost upon losing DRM keys.
These features are usually restored with the use of a DRM fix.

No green photos now

But how do you people feel about lack of Video Enhancement on your day to day use?

Actually, the color provided in the photos and movies you watch in the phone will loose some sharpness but it feels the same like the other phones. Regarding the color and appearance in PC or other devices, it doesn't affect, it affects the color viewing engine within the phone.
The green photo thing was in XZs and only when it had Nougat (7.x.x). I had my Xperia XZs bootloader unlocked and it doesn't appear green anymore in Android 8.0.
You will loose propitiatory software one of them is Xperia Lounge. It won't work after unlocking. (Seems bloat to me )
I don't unlock the phone's bootloader within few days but after few months.

Hi all, I know this thread has gone a bit quiet, but I'm just wondering if anyone can shed some light on whether or not there is any news on possibly backing up the DRM keys prior to rooting?
I did see someone in this thread post something about a DRM fix post root, could anyone please elaborate on this point, and if there is a tool handy anywhere, could you possibly link it. The tool mentioned might well be Xperifix
Thanks, guys and gals in advance for any further information and help.

There's zero ways to backup keys right now.

Xperifix was only for Oreo and stopped at the XZ2.
Almost 0 chance of getting a fix now

I thought as much... Living without root is a right royal pita! But I wanted to wait a bit until anything turned up, and it looks like I either trade the phone in or have a look at the custom Roms, deep joy.
Thanks for the reply.

Bugger... This is what happens when I impulse buy a shiny new phone! Oh well, I'm awaiting a Oneplus 7 Pro landing tomorrow that I got for free, so I suppose I can always just set the Sony to one side and just keep popping back on here to see if any progress has been made.

At least you'll still have a working camera when unlocked unlike the olden days with the DRM keys
Once you've experienced the 90hz refresh rate on the 7P you'll probably not pick it back up. I can't switch back to the Sony from the pixel 4xl for that reason.

Hehe yeah I know what you mean, I think that I'll be selling the Xperia 1 and keeping the Oneplus, as I find that the phone can be quite difficult to use, with the screen shrunk to the one-handed mode, reading text is horrendous. and I've yet to find a film on NetFlix or Youtube or elsewhere that actually does justice to the screen, it's pointless expanding the film to get rid of the bars if you then miss out on the film itself because it's been cropped so much...
I shouldn't grumble, I got the Xperia 1 for an absolute bargain price, I spotted it on sale when the black Friday event was on in an O2 shop, it had £100 knocked off, and then it had been reduced by 50%, so I ended up getting the phone for a bargain price of £350!

Speakers problem

Hi!!
Today i got my Sony Xperia z5 (e6653). Phone is great but i have one problem. One speaker (on the top) is louder than second speaker. I'm not sure that is ok but i want to ask about it other people who has z5.

No from a major phone retailer in the UK
It's not massively noticable but I want it to be perfect for £500+
Mine sounds slightly more quiet on the bottom than the top, although I think it has much more to do with the top speaker being at a different angle. When I turn it sideways I can't tell a difference from right to left
Thank you for answer. My phone has the same problem with speakers but maybe speakers in Xperia works like that. I sent question to Sony Xperia on Facebook and they said that they Xperia's have louder top speaker too.
Mine does exactly the same! Got mine from Vodafone UK today and the bottom speaker is quite a bit weaker. Where did you get yours from? Maybe a dodgy batch? I've had Sony's before and never had this problem.
I think it's software related as it sounds like something is suppressing it for some reason? I've done a factory reset, cleared cache in audio setting and still the same. It's annoying as it makes me think my ears are playing up.would be interesting what build number people are on? Mine is 32.0.A.4.11, I'm looking for generic UK ftf if anyone has a copy???

Kind of off-topic but since you got yours from Vodafone UK, is it the Bond Edition and if so, what Bond content is included, if any?
My top speaker is a little louder as well.

Haha the box which has spectre 007 written on it and that's all I've discovered so far. The phone is a gun metal grey colour and I though it was meant to be black but I guess that's the normal colour? Oh and one speaker lower in volume that the other but maybe that's some bond trick that makes it different??

Mine is gunmetal too and the color states "Graphite Black". So you did get the Bond Edition, that's nice. Supposed to be able to download Spectre themes, ringtones and wallpapers through the Xperia Lounge app.

Ok after having a play with mine I've noticed that if I stick it really close to my face its obvious one speaker is louder than the other. BUT when I hold it at arms length with elbows bent it sounds like normal stereo, very clever Sony but doesn't help if you're watching or listening to something up close. Try it.

I can't find anything what so ever to do with bond. I think maybe mine isn't and its just the packaging to promote it. I've logged into xperia lounge and all Vodafone apps with no joy! Frustrating! I wanted to be bond!
Thanks for trying, it may not be available yet. I'm sure when it is there will at least be pictures on the web but right now there is nothing anywhere.
Don't feel bad, I want to be Bond too
i think its normal, i have the same issue (if thats what you call it) on my Z3 :/
Just got my phone and my top speaker is MUCH louder than my bottom one. Does anyone know if we can fix this with root? Or if Sony can fix it with a software update?

Mine was the same but after a fiddle it seems to be OK. Give it a couple of days and if you hold it at arms length with your elbows bent it actually sounds normal. Its definitely software related.
Mine was really noticeable on day one but either I've got used to it or its fixed itself it sounds normal and actually better than it did when I first got it. Maybe the system has to adjust or something? Who knows. Hope it helps

Hmm OK thanks, I'll give it a couple days but if it doesn't fix itself I'll have to return it. Someone on the Sony forum said it's a hardware fault so that's got me worried.
Can everyone with the phone state whether they have this issue or not, so we can see whether it's hardware or software related.
Good day everyone!
I can confirm that after a while speakers volume is aligned. Bottom speaker`s volume now is exactly the same as a top speaker`s volume. But when i bought the phone and start testing, bottom speaker`s sound was much weaker than top speaker.
Geez people. Every Xperia Z above Z2 has this "problem". Each speaker is supposed to sound a bit different. I.e. in my Z2 the bottom speaker is more bassy, but the top one is clearer. It's not a problem, these phones are just made that way.

I have a Yu Yutopia. AMA

Hey guys,
I have a Yu Yutopia with me and I am guessing a lot of you must be having queries about it. Please feel free to ask them.
My initial impressions of the phone so far:
1) Really impressed with the build quality. The phone feels solid in hand. Even better than the OnePlus 2 if you ask me. Did not expect this at all.
2) I love the One glass solution, but the colors and saturation levels of the display are wayyy off.
3) The fingerprint scanner works reliably. No issues with it.
4) The camera app is a big disappointment. Same as the one found on the OnePlus One. Slow.
5) The rear speaker is a joke
6) The phone does heat up while gaming. Playing Asphalt 8 for a few minutes was enough for the phone to heat up.
7) Cyanogen OS 12.1 is buggy.

Software. Yutopia is very buggy. With the X Style, you will get quick updates. And Snapdragon 810 being more powerful than the Snapdragon 808 is not really a big deal since the former overheats a lot and quickly throttles down.

Does this phone have the option to switch between on screen buttons to physical buttons like one plus one?
If not for physical buttons, what use of the big black bar at the bottom of the phone?
is it worth to buy in that price range???

First of all i am a YUTOPIA owner and have been using it for two weeks now.
The YU Yutopia is an awesome device if u go by its build quality. The All metal body,Integrated antenna bands, QHD screen and the Sound quality all screams the word PREMIUM!! A device worthy of its price. From the box it arrives in to the included components it is a well packed one.
The biggest con i felt is the OS. Cyanogen 12.1 has lots of potential, but the included one with the phone has lots of bugs.It has the january patch of android included though.Still there are some big bugs.
For instance, If the phine is charging and u turn the screen on (without unlocking) and keep it like that..the screen gets unlocked(even when locked with a fingerprint or a pin or a pattern) in five mins. so thats a major bug.
The camera focus lags in certain conditions and heating is present in some conditions. But these are all issues of CM 12.1 and not the phone. So it can be fixed in a future update i guess.
The pros of the phone include its build,quickcharge, massive battery and the screen. Its a delight to watch movies. The included House of marley earphones are of good quality. AudioFX with DTS is amazing and the sound is truly amazing when heard with this setting on.
i would say,if u are patient enough to wait for software updates, then this phone is worth every penny. Else u may go for one plus 2 which has no quickcharge and has the same chip. Heating is a SD810 issue and cannot be fully avoided in both phones. But that too is resolved to some extent by thermal management settings by YU. I guess it will be better once CM 13 based on MM is released.
The fingerprint issues also will be be solved by MM update as it s a native feature included in MM.
SO..the final choice lies with YU! :laugh::good:

Battery backup depends on your usage. If using 3G and continous use ( gaming, browsing,whatsapp etc) will get you around 14 hours. Else it lasts more on WiFi and easily lasts more than a day on intermittent use of 3G.
BTW..it has quickcharge 2.0 which will get u from 5% battery to 90% in one and half hours. The last ten % takes half hour.
wifi hotspot detection issue
Hi,
I purchased a Yu Yutopia yesterday and was initially impressed with the packaging and the build quality. While setting up the phone, I noticed that the phone was unable to detect the portable airtel 4g wifi hotspot. All my other phones like the One Plus X, Blackberry and Moto g1 were able to detect it but this phonewas unable to detect it. I tried making the one plus a mobile hotspot to check if it could detect my mobile hotspot and it seemed to detect it and every other wifi except this 4g hotspot wifi. I tried to factory reset the phone but it still shows the same issue and is unable to detect it. What do I do???
Please help me.
Its a piece of crap
my friend have this after 1 week phone got dead
I'm thinking to buy Yutopia. But can anyone share a video of it's LED Notification light with various colours? I have seen many videos but no impressed as I saw is only a tiny green light. Please upload a video of LED Notification light in use
Tell me about its camera quality can i compare its camera to Nexus 5x or this same as badd as other micromax phone
Like Good at day & a Low quality at night or kow light
Laggy type.???
alternate Camera app
Hi Yutopia users,
anyone using alternate better app for stock camera?
I have tried snapdragon camera but issue is it only supports 13MP. pls suggesti for alternate better camera app.

Image Retention - burn in issue

Is there anyone doesn’t face this problem? does screen replacement fix it permanently?...anyone knows how to fix it please tell us.
to check your screen : https://marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html
It's the problem with those lg manufactured lcd panels, just like how it used to be on the Moto g4plus... So even if it gets fixed by a replacement panel, it's only a matter of time until it comes back unless they change the panel model itself, which i think won't be done.

It has, but it's only a matter of time before it comes back, from what I've heard. So i didn't bother changing it. When the burn in gets too much, i just use a lcd burn wipe app with red noise for 1 or 2 minutes and it'll be gone. The problem is obviously with the red pixels coz the burn in appears red in colour.

Will have a bad impact? Only this time i found screen retention on my devicelmao
The crappy LG panel problem affects many Nokia 8 phones and it is becoming more common every day. Mine has this problem for about six months.
Using an app is a temporary solution and can help for 1-2 days but the problem returns.
You can send it for repairs but in 3rd world countries like Greece it will get about one month to get the screen replaced. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Does anyone remember the LG Nexus 5X motherboard problem that affected every single phone?... Same ****ty situation.
I've seen this issue with my Nokia 8, I've had image retention after chatting with someone for a while on WhatsApp their name and the Google logo from the keyboard remained for sometime afterwards. I've not had it stay permanently, but is noticeable if you go into an app that has a black background.

I suppose it'll just grow until a point... Nothing drastic... Except for the annoyance of the retended image on screens with grey background...
Just to specify that it's not a software problem. The issue is there on Nougat and Oreo for me. It's clearly the poor screen quality. .
I used to have this problem and it did annoy me a lot. But here is a simple fix :
Use cf.Lumen and add a profile with parameters like the photos attached
3 months now and has not seen that stupid red hue on the screen
*device has to be rooted
Guys help on retweeting so that hopefully Nokia will be aware of this issue and compensate for it. This is a hardware issue, no software magic can fix this.

And did you ever replace your display? I'm asking coz i just replaced my display because it broke due to the damn charger falling on the screen (so much for Gorilla glass). I remember i saw lgd dual dsi display or something on the "display" section of aida64, but after the replacement from Nokia's authorised service centre, it's not shown any longer (the lgd dual dsi something...).

Where's AoD ( Always on Display ) ?

I have to say I'm pretty shocked that OnePlus hasn't added AOD always on display to their phones yet it's been a stock Android thing for a couple good years already.
What's the deal?

.it's on havoc im using it
One thing I like about this 7 Pro is you can enable the setting to show your lock screen when you slightly lift up your phone. Saves just that bit of extra battery life. I never liked AOD on my Samsung devices. But at least with the new One UI on those phones you can choose to have it turn on only when you tap on the display.
Hopefully we can get a mod for this. The op6t has it.
For now I just use the Screensaver...
Any news about Always on display?

Use pixel pulse apk for the time being
For AOD you can use custom ROMs, although I don't know if AOD doesn't turn off pixels except the ones that shows information or else expect huge battery drain.

Will believe it when I see it. Has been requested over and over for some time now, even more so since it was there briefly on the OP6 before being removed. It should not be hard and the OP devs are clearly very capable I think they do not really want to provide this feature for some reason and that we will get some battery related waffle as justification for it not being added.
I sold my OP7 pro and will not buy another OP device until they provide this feature. It is an important feature for me and too many other manufacturers provide it now so there is no need to miss out on it.
YMMV

It should not be hard and the OP devs are clearly very capable I think they do not really want to provide this feature for some reason and that we will get some battery related waffle as justification for it not being added.
I sold my OP7 pro and will not buy another OP device until they provide this feature. It is an important feature for me and too many other manufacturers provide it now so there is no need to miss out on it.
YMMV

He just told the fact, no need to be rude....
Not a weird thing to get upset about at all. Either AOD or a notification light should be "there". Light can be put anywhere, even in a button. Now I have an app running to light up now and then. Notify Buddy consumes way too much battery which isn't an option either. I upgraded from OP5 to OP7pro, but honestly, I still am wondering why I paid all that money. The OP5 was and still is a smooth as butter fine device. GF has it now.

Exactly. I don't understand why they are talking about it drains battery. Yeah it does, but those who want it might not care. It's not exactly hard to implement AOD. Not offering no notification light and no AOD is just stupid. They been stating they are working on it for at least a year? That can't be true .
Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The weird part is them selling their OP7 Pro for not having a feature that they knew wasn't on it when they bought it. Not sure why you'd purchase a phone that didn't have a feature you clearly would sell a phone for not having.

Not sure that is what you really meant but let's move on. I am prone to impulse buys (don't judge me) which is what the OP7 was and with OP saying they were working on an AOD I kind of hoped it would come (as it finally did from Huawei) but now I honestly do not think it is.
My point is that a functioning AOD that does not kill your battery does not seem to be that difficult, most other manufactures offer it now and LG even managed it on an LCD. I'm guessing and reading between the lines but I think that they have no intention of adding it but cannot imagine why? as I said the OP devs are clearly very capable so I'm sure they could have done it by now if asked.
As far as I know AOD consumes a few percent more per hour, maybe 3%. I don't know if that has gotten better in the last years. Still I don't understand why they don't offer the option to trade AOD for battery life. I guess the impact on battery in their testing must have been so high that it would've been a shame to release it. I guess it's kind of a "do it right or leave it" attempt they are following.
Also it could be together with the absence of the pocket mode. I guess since they don't have a normal proximity sensor that could be what stops them from adding it because if they did, they can't disable it when the phone is in the pocket.
They could still add it regardless of draining some battery. Could always add an option to turn it off like Samsung. I use an app called Always on Amoled. It's pretty similar to an actual aod. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson

Pop-up camera moves dangerously

Hello,
When the pop-up camera is out, without forcing I can easily shift it by almost 1mm on each side
I'd like to know if it's the same on your device or if mine is too loose
Otherwise it works perfectly, and comes out straight, but it worries me to have a greater lag in the long term, I have only had the phone for a month and do not go out regularly the pop up
Thanks !
no shift on my device ..
Same
Mine is the same, but I don't think it's important
Yes, it moves a bit. But this is normal, as that little camera is fixed over a huge spring to protect it in case of a fall . The up-down motor acts against this spring.
You can see that on any YouTube video of F2 Pro disassembly.

Yes I saw Jerry's video, but I also saw videos where the tester was pulling or mistreating the camera and it didn't seem to move..
I don't think that it poses a particular concern on my device but the finish must be random and sometimes less "fixed"

Thanks, so I have to be careful then with mine !
Fortunately I hardly ever use the selfie, only a few video calls and unlocking when my finger is dirty (mechanical ?)
I can confirm there's no movement on mine. Had it for 4 months
Hi, my popup cam is shifting too.
My phone is 1 week old and there's no movement. But i have problem, it's accidentally pop up when my friend video call me. Is there any setting so it's only pop up if i receive the call?
You should be worry about that before buying this device mate. Why so; its a moving mechanic part. But beautiful, isn't it.? Full display without holes
