Default Xperia Z5 DPI?

Blue_Meanie — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 16:13:37 GMT

Icons and text are scaled much larger than I'd like on the Z5 so I used the ADB command to reduce my DPI (dots per inch) to 340, which lets me fit a lot more info on my screen. Text and apps look great at this resolution but in-app purchases no longer work, as apparently the Play Store checks DPI for compatibility before approving purchases. What is the default Z5 DPI? Without root I couldn't read the build.prop file to check before my tweak. The Z5 screen's PPI is 424 but that didn't work.

@Blue_Meanie

I guess you will find appropriate app from playstore for e.g https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tspmobile.dpiscreeninfo&hl=en

@SebastianD

Blue_Meanie said he reduces dpi to 340 then how can it be 320?

@komilAD - In retrospect I should have used a DPI app like this before I started. It does a perfect job of telling my what my current DPI is but not the original one. Thanks though for letting me know about it.

If someone else with a Z5 happened to have a few minutes to run it and let me know what comes up though I'd really appreciate it.

@SebastianD - Hmm, thanks for looking but it's definitely a bigger number that I need. 320 is even smaller. I think it was in the 400s. I suppose I can take an hour and up the number incrementally until I find it.

This will get you back to default dpi

adb shell wm density reset
