Change Resolution and DPI (back to default)
- Type "adb shell"
- Type "wm size 1080×1920"
- Type "wm density 403"
Why use a computer? Why not just use a terminal program on the phone?
@@dohoof It's easier to change the display size back to default under display in settings.
does it require to be a Rooted Xzp?!
@Ray N it's easy
I aways love the sony products, thats the rason i subscribe on your channel, so please continue making videos to make our life more easy!
Haven't read all comments, so this could already have been said, but for the adb driver for the phone to install you may have to turn on tethering the first time. Also, full 4K has issues with the in call dialer crashing (and not being able to answer or hang up calls). Running at 1890x3360, 706dpi is completely stable. Several other apps are more stable with this setting as well. And, it still jumps to full 4K in the designated apps, though the change is far more subtle than when it is running the standard 1080.
At this setting of 3360, the screen still jumps to 4k when prompted?
daniel ramirez Yes. The apps that Sony has designated will still switch to full 4k mode, but everything else will be running at the set resolution. I have run at this res for 2 weeks now and only a few apps have some minor issues, often not big enough to be worth lowering the res. Games are mixed with some not loading and others running fine (Gameloft and Madfinger games have been excellent so far). Gonna test 1440p to see if compatibility increases with certain games/applications. Software really hasn't been made with greater than 1440p in mind so it could just be that.
Great great video. Thanks for clearing that up. One of the main reasons i skiped the Z5 premium. The XZ premium however, will be my next smartphone.
thanks for the advice. I am getting this phone today .
Are reviews really saying it's defaulted to run at 4k all the time?! Sad. Great tutorial, professional enough for me. Do you get the 4k option in RUclips for 4k videos?
Damir Franc That's awesome! I had to use command line to enable 3rd party launchers on the Chinese version of the OPPO R9s. Sucks these basic options aren't enabled by the manufacturer.
Grant S you get RUclips 4k, Netflix 4k out of the box, even without this trick
The XZ Premium has the 4k option on youtube even without forcing the 4k output, but not the Z5 Premium.
I did this trick with z5 premium, I am only getting 1440p video's on youtube though
Since a couple of software updates the screen is now always at 4K.
Did it. Text is sharper, however thats the only advantage, and you have to really lean in to see the difference. Other than that there are a few scaling bugs and gaming performance issues. Battery has taken a 15% hit and there are some frame drops while scrolling fast. Considering that the display is adaptive and it switches to 4K resolution whenever an image/video of that resolution is detected (such as photos or videos in youtube/amazon/etc) AND the fact that like the Z5 premium, it upscales sub 4K videos to 4K in youtube (not sure about netflix, amazon, hbo go, etc), i find very little justification to get marginally clearer text at the expense of battery, performance (especially 3d) and some annoying scaling bugs throughout the UI.
That made it a lot more simple. good video
Works like a charm on XZ2 premium
Tell me please. Can a non-standard resolution be displayed on MHL in a similar way? Is it 4: 3 or 16:10?
wow thank you. that was easy n simple!
Interesting, definitely going to give it a try
Hello! Can resolve the dialer crash when screen goes 4k resolution?? Thanks!
Can this method be used for the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium?
Can you please make a review where you test the graphics perfomance of XZP on 1080p vs 4K? Am so going to get this phone.
Great video mate
For those who cant find your device, you have to download your phone´s driver first, then install it with the adb installer and then it will work.
I just got mine Friday new from Amazon and I downloaded the AIDA64 app and it already showing that's its running at 4k resolution
Damir thanks! I have did it on my phone and seriously man, it is absurdly super good. I don't think I can return to a phone with resolution lower than 4K anymore.
Naim Noor Any affect on battery life?
Usman Tariq actually not at all. This time Sony really nails the battery life. People assumed that higher resolution will drain the battery much more quickly but an assumption is just an assumption and they're wrong.
Naim Noor I gotta say man, it's a great device and with this it looks amazing. Unfortunately it would crash my phone dialer regardless if I replaced it with another 1 or not. I factory reset. Tried it again and same issue. So, I must pass but if it doesn't effect yours.. Man go for it!
Edwin Torres that's a recurring issue everybody is experiencing. you can install 3rd party dialer app or find previous version of google phone apk from xda dev
Naim Noor is that what you did? Cause I installed a 3rd party app and still.. When I called out, once it rang i got an error message. I didn't try installing the older Xperia phone app. Which did you do?
+damir franc
if i make it 4k
well,does any thing get wrong with updates
please reply
That's cool man, thank you so much!
hey how to install the thing on computer which we need to use to enable 4k? i mean the thing where u write adb devices etc?
what's the battery life like since you've changed it to 4k all the time? do a video on it
l did it with my Sony Xperia z5 premium and it's awesome.
no devices/emulators found... what can I do ?
Please help me xz pre or huawei p10+ which one better in camera and which one u advice
Great video
Hi. Would you know if i can do this on my xz2 premium? Thank you
I dont have any list of devices (empty) what i must to do ??? when i run minimal adb fastboot>adb devices ?
I will try this as soon as i get the device :)
can you find a way to make the super slow motion video record longer than 0.2 seconds.
if we could even get one full second that would be a lot better than .2 seconds
I just changed my Z5 premium to 4k and the text is really nice and sharp now.
Only problem is that it makes the CPU quite warm and probably ruins the battery life
Super fantastic sharpness but can't use the call function.also lags in some cases are still present.
I have a question if I could also change the resolution from the Xperia 5 phone
I will have to try this on mine, thanks
Nice experiment but with Oreo 8.0.0 the Xperia Dialer crashes everytime. I also tried 3rd party dialers and they crash everytime also. So as soon as someone calls you, you can't take a call, same when I try to call, as soon as connection is established the dialer crashes and I can still hear person talking but I am unable to do anything else including ending the call is also impossible.
can anyone tell me what was the original density before i did this i want to put it back to 1080p
I just tried this, but the touch screen stops working on the bottom and right of the screen. Any way to fix that?
You should include a tutorial to return the resolution back to the original 1920x1080, just in case someone wants to send it in for warranty. Kinda neat but not really worth it unless your using it for VR, text is sharper but only every so slighty but hey I guess if you buy a 4K smartphone then why not use it right?
How to enable for z5 premium? Same step for xz prem?
Can I enable the fingerprint sensor on the xz premium?
Can you switch the display back to 1080p after the fact?
how is the battery life after reso change?
My phone app crashes with this modification. any suggestion ? am unable to make calls. app crashes in loop.
Tried on XZ2 Premium on factory updated Android-10 unfortunately while it bumps the resolution up exactly how I want it, the digitiser only functions for a ¼ of the screen
Anyway to resolve this? Or maybe load older version of Android to make it not do that? ideally if there are commands to scale the digitiser up that would be swell, also worth noting is AIDA64 reports 4K for the XZ2 Premium regardless of if you're using commands or checking as is on A-10
wow great reviews
Can u make a tutorial for 120hz?
Adb devices and adb shell not working on my computer. It says not recognized
Man I don't want sacrifice my gaming side, it truely amazing how smooth it runs ppssp, i think 4k just for video is enough, by the way is there any way to change back from 4k to 1080p?
its ok for z5 compact? cause i need that.
Where do I get the fast boot software from? 1.28
I've tried it on my Z5 Premium, and yeah it was noticeable sharper than before and it looked just awesome. Social apps, mail apps and browsing on chrome looked great, however some native sony apps did not support 4k resolution so I had to switch back to 1080p. btw youtube was giving me the 1440p option.
only the xz premium support 4k youtube
I have also some problems on my Xperia z5 premium. How can I switch back to 1080p? Can you help me. wm size 1080x1920. wm density ???
480
So is it really work on Andriod 7.0 ver. Z5 Premium?
Yes it works. Phone dialer app crashes, but you can still make and receive phone calls. I noticed minor performance issues, and the battery life is not as good as on full hd resolution. Try it for your self. If you don't like it just go back to native 1080p resolution.
i tested for a week, i noticed that the dialer crashes every time, so it becomes hard to make a call. Battery drain is not that much evident.
The worst thing i noticed is the warming of the phone, it becomes very hot, i think due the gpu load
Working on z2 to maximum 2k (1440x2560) but not work screen shot :/ Help me :(
what about the battery?, are will affect
Thank you Damir I'm going to do this on mine.. Picked it up for $550 Best Buy totally loving this Device. 1.Can you reverse this as well with the same process?
2. Will my personal videos/movies (720p./1080p.) look sharper as well even though they aren't 4k videos, while watching on my mx player app or the Sony stock video app.
Thanks my Friend ✌️
Suzy Siviter thank you for your response I already have it setup and it's beautiful.. Pretty simple process and yes very easy to go back to the original Res. ✌️
Suzy Siviter yes it is.. Fast Charge 3.0
Suzy Siviter you are very welcomed😁✌️
I bought this device unfortunately wifi dropping annoying 😡😡
Do you know any VR players that run in 4k?
Would make for an awesome experience.
Can I lower the resolution? Just interested
Dudes that its Amazing Thank Man
Is it also work on Z5 Premium?
But how to change the resolution to 1080p again?
does it work for the z5 p
PLEASEEE make a video how i can get root and change the firmware without loose the xperia features (DRM) like Bravia Engenie, Bionz Xmor, BionZ, X-Reality(shortcut X-R),Noise Cancelling DLAC audio, ETC.
Because i have a Xperia XZ but it have still android 6.0.1 and the customization version 1305-9052_R3B (commercial and journalist use) so it means that my phone never gonna get update to 7.1.1
PLEASE HELP
I burst out laughing when you picked up the wrong phone lol
can you do the same on the Xperia z5 premium?
yeah but only getting 1440p video's on youtube? so is it better to set it to 2k display all the time? or just 4k :p
can i apply it on sony xperia x2 premium??
Hi dose the diler work
Do you need to root the phone to do this?
what about the Xperia z5 premium?? When I use the app Aida64 and I go to display it says 2160*3840 with a 801 pixel desity. But still youtube app is saying max 1080p while video is 4k
TSLstudio2010 same for me here on my z5p
I was hoping you review the xz2 premium...
How to select 4k on RUclips
how to enable "tap to wake"? Please help me!
can u make one gaming review of modern combat 5 multiplayer on 4K resolution pleaseeeee.....i need it cux buying xz premium mainly to play this game smoothly n for cam
Damir Franc :(
Hi so i have enable 4k on my xzp and instal google samsung dialer apk and forks fine but after using my xzp on 4k some time my phone restart by itself does enyone know how to fix that tnx
Btw on stock loop theme phone fly on other is so lagy
My eng is not best so sry for that
you should reboot first after doing wm command. there are some element that might not get refreshed on the display. Plus what happened when you do screenshot? does the file have 3840x2160 resolution?
Well, it was on my (late) Z5P so just in case. Thanks :)
Does it affect battery life?
Why does the "pixel density" still show up as 403dpi even after changing it to 820dpi?
Geht das auch mit dem iMac ?
Which file you open on pc?
isn't the ram management affected by this?
Looks good. Have to do a video on this. It works but launcher gets a little small even with wm density 820
But still cool as hell
Damir Franc I need a little more detail about this.. I don't know anything about adb. Or the computer page you have open. Sorry I know I'm a real noob but if you can explain it like down to its smallest format I'd really appreciate it. Just got my xz premium and love it.
Damir Franc OK.. So when I plug it in to the pc the adb window pops up and I just reprogram it?
Damir Franc did it thanks man!
Edwin Torres It worked?
Usman Tariq Yea it did... And yes it does look great. But.... Now I have bugs. If I power down and start it back up it gets small and yes it goes back to normal. Than if I get a phone call, I gotta swipe like 3 times and than upon hanging up in my notifications it shows I'm still on the phone. Its happened twice so far. I can easily just clear it but still. I am willing to deal with the little buggy stuff cause man, watching movies and stuff it looks great. The best. So it's up to you if you want a smooth running phone but not 4k all the time. Or a 4k permanent display with a hick up here and there. #honest/critic
My XZ Premium laggs in games with this setting
will it ruin the battery life?
I didn't try this yet but when I go to Aida64 it says that my resolution is 4k, I don't understand...
It shows max supported screen resolution in Aida. And the most recent Sony upgrades force 4K at all times which ruins the battery. I came here to put it back to 1080p, see the top comment.
My XZP showed me in AIDA64 that it had 2160×3840 Display without that any modification .!
Same
for some reason it says no devices/emulators found
geriye nasıl alacagım lütfen söylermisiniz
What is the resolution and DPI by default? I need to get the phone back to normal but I need those numbers. Thanks.
Resolution: 1080x1920
dpi: 403
after you adjust the screen resolution to 4k, why is it that the pixel density is 403 dpi? i thought sony xzp has 807 dpi. please confirm. thank you
thanks bro. appreciate. love your videos. keep up! 👍🏻😉
Does that require rooting the device? I am going to buy a Z5 Premium and need to know if that works. I am planning to use this device as a PDF reader personal for my bed
Z5 premium is garbage don't buy

??? Sorry for my misunderstanding, but what exactly do I need to do, to use phone calling on the patched ZXpremium with real 4k resolution?
If understand this correctly: if my dialer crashes I don´t have to change the dialer, but the launcher from Xperia Home to some other launcher (Nova Launcher, Nougat Launcher...) and I should be set?
rhe latest update , including V8.0 Oreo sets the screen resolution to 4k, so no need for this procedure
Nice video, do you get the option to switch resolution to 4k in RUclips videos? Or do you afto do this tutorial in order to get that resolution option?
Andrew Smith you can select 4k in youtube right out of the box.
Nirainenjan Muthazhagu how
Did you have to approve that external control from your phone first? Kinda scary if not.
Your phone needs to be unlocked with your code to get access
I did this on my phone and its cool as hell but spotify won't work :(
Hello!
Can you help me, please?
what have to write after wm density if i want FullHd back?
wm density 480 doesnt work on XZ Premium
480
How can we go back ¿
hello, I just want to ask if can I do this on my z5p? BTW, you've got another subscriber and a thumbs-up man
Damir Franc thanks man
hi again, I did this to my z5p and it works, but the home launcher continues in crashing, so I decided to put in a 1440x2560(quad hd) with the density of 534 and boom! it works perfectly! maybe this one is helpful for some users :)
thanks again dude!
Really helpful, thanks. :)
it still gives 405 Pixel Density. so it hasn't actually worked even though it says 4k, why didnt the density change.....
Yes, I am curious the same question. I wonder: 405 ppi is worse than galaxy S8 (570 ppi)
Guide me how to do that
