[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rlee491:
Hi all, I've been having this issue that the Turbonium "tiny audio" fix no longer works after I flash a rom and I have the "tiny audio" on my telus DHD. I've tried flashing it after i've installed a rom and rebooting it and still no luck. I've tried it with other roms like leedroid, RCMix, and MDJ's. I'm all out of ideas, I do complete a clean wipe in between every rom and seems to me like it's happened recently when i've started using the newer roms. Anyways, this issue is starting to get on my nerves and hoping someone will have an answer, Thanks for your input.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rlee491:
As an update: i've done more research and found some people using the RCmix fixed it by flashing the turbonium fix and then adb pushing CodecDSPID.txt, but no luck for me :( I've been trying to bare the sound because I'm so happy using MDJ's 2.1+3.0, but i would be complete if i could have this fixed. Anyways, feel free to shout any suggestions, I'm desperate....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxxy13:
The update to CodecDSPID.txt was required for the Kingsdom / Sense 3.0 ROM only. The original TurboniumX fix worked fine for me on the ROMs with the old base.

What exactly are you getting when you try to apply the fix? Same tinny sound or no sound at all?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rlee491:
well, when i try to push the CodecDSPID.txt that you gave to killathenoob, I get no sound at all. When i flash the original turbonium, I get no change (meaning i still get the tiny audio), but as you said the original turboniumX fix worked fine with the old base, it's just suddenly i tried to use Kingdom/Sense 3.0 and MDJ's 3.0 that the turboniumX fix no longer works
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splendidtry:
I just bought a new, sealed unit a few days ago. The last remaining stock left over in Aus. As soon as I turned on the camera I quickly realised something was a bit off.

I know they never had amazing camera quality to begin with, but mine is, a lot messier, than what I have seen in other units up until now.

My friend also has a I9000, and I used his a few times but mind you only checked out the camera for a total of 10-15 seconds (which is what persuaded me the galaxy S had a good camera), but that was enough for me to immediately spot a significant difference in mine. I then did a thorough test between mine and his and confirmed this. I also looked at some phones in stores.

Is this common of the newer model/last remaining stock?

Or should I try get it replaced for another one?

It seems about 30-40% worse in general. :eek:

I made sure to first reset and then check all camera settings.

The results seem consistent.

Here is my phone and my friends. Both taken at exactly the same moment, settings, etc side by side.

Running 2.2 On Voda firmware. All stock.

Anyway I spoke to the retailer where I signed up to a contract from and they said, the camera looks fine to me. He took a few photos and said it was all in order.

It seems they would only consider replacing it is if the camera doesn't work at all?

Isn't there a level of quality control?

The retailer said if we send it of for repairs they will just inspect it, say its fine and return the same one to you again, just in worse condition.

I haven't even used the phone since I got it 5 days ago, as a major reason to get it was a decent camera. At the moment its worse/the same as all my old 1.3-5mp phones from 5 years ago.

Any ideas? Does it qualify for warranty/another unit?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkagarwal:
by seeing the images, i feel the resolution setting for your cam is to blame. go to settings and check whether its full (2560*1920)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungwarrior:
Looks like it's on one of the mode settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgiliu:
I suspect low quality camera sensor. Hmmm big diference... i'll check mine tonight, you make me curious.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
If you read the post he states that they used identical settings and each pic has it's resolution on it, they are all the same resolution.

There's definitely a big difference in quality though, the lighting is way different in the two phones. Never seen that big a difference before on the 3 phones I've used.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splendidtry:
Yes its definitely identical settings guys.

The lighting differences seem like the software is trying to make up for the fact the camera is delivering a poor image, and turns up the iso and changes color balance etc.

I actually first posted this on android forums before I took any action, before I knew of this forum, but they don't seem that keen on hardware as here.

http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/333683-did-my-new-galaxy-s-come-dodgy-camera.html

You can look at that link for a better sized comparison. The pics on there arranged nicer.

Anyway I called up samsung, told them of my issue.

They basically said I should contact the nearest service center. They said its Fonebiz in Rockdale on the Princess HWY. Pretty close to me.

When the lady on the phone found out its only a few days old and I am not using it because of the issue, she said if its under 20 days I can contact the place where I bought it from and get another one on the spot.

Well as I said the guy at the shop completely missed the point, tested out the camera in a few shots and started comparing it to other brands of phones.

He said any difference I notice could be because of different camera batches which is of course true, but I still think the difference is too big, especially since a better camera was one of the biggest reasons for me to upgrade phones. Not to mention you have to compare Galaxy S vs Galaxy S, as I did.

Do you guys have any recommendations/contacts etc? I think I will just walk into Fonebiz and see what they say, but I don't know if I want a refurbished unit to replace essentially a new phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steph_1973:
I think that the "good" phone was aimed more at the light source hence the slight changes in exposure etc etc.

I would not judge a phone camera in a dim room anyway, but i would not change it just yet.

Come on its a phone the camera's are either poor or really poor at best.

I had problems with my camera. Its focus was bad. I found it much better if you tap the area of the photo you wish to focus on and only when it goes green take the shot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungwarrior:
Why don't you take both off auto, and set them both to the same iso settings and check the difference then. This would give a better indication of software vs hardware.

Yes, te same ****y quality i have on my sgs.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awojtas:
Oh - there is a difference! The focal length varies - 3.5mm and 3.8mm. They must be different lens/sensor units!

Anyone with 3.8mm... bad news... but 3.5mm might be better??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splendidtry:
Ok, so I had a chance to set the settings all to manual as was suggested.

To cut it short, regardless of the settings, when they are the matched and the phones are put side by side to take the same shot, his one captures more light and less noise. I guess they go hand in hand.

So a scene that looks completely dark on my camera(i.e black, no detail coming through), will be actually be clearly visible but with a lot of noise on his one.

A scene that looks barely visible on mine, will be fairly visible with a lot less noise on his one.

A scene that looks fully well lit with little noise on his one, will look like its a little dark on mine with a little noise.

I think you get the point. I guess what the software was doing in mine on auto is to compensate for the lack of light being captured, it turns the iso up, this introducing even more noise and off color etc.

One last thing, which I am curious to find more info about

It say on the back of my phone, MADE IN VIETNAM, and on his one MADE IN KOREA.

I had no idea they switched manufacture plants like that, nor had I come across any info on the sgs about that.

True story.

so It looks like I probably won't/cant be bothered to try exchange the phone, even though it is still within 14 days of purchase...sigh

The new one could be the same, and I may get one without a bootloader, and my current one has one etc. Heck I may even get a refurb.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arielo1:
this is such a good topic for me....

i have the same problem as you i did not compare with other sgs phone but i have never managed to get nice pictures indoors with this camera....

only if there is ALLOT of light the pics turn out ok nothing outstanding.

i played with all possible settings and yet nothing looks good.

i hate to admit it and sad too but the sgs camera is very ****ty imo...

its always more yellow and the colors turn out bad

also when i picture indoor with a little light in the room and night scene the pics are too dark.

this camera is a joke sadly
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgiliu:
mine is made in Korea... so useless
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Mine's 3.5, my pics are fine, but I mostly use it outdoors, lots of natural light.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awojtas:
Could you take an indoors photo sometime and post it here? Try set it to ISO400, as that's what most of the pics here seem to be, so we can compare. As long it's indoor, ISO400, and you don't shake the camera we should get a basic idea of quality.

So... Korea (3.5mm focal length) = good

Vietnam (3.8mm focal length) = you're screwed

If the angle of view is the same, theoretically, the Vietnam ones have a bigger sensor (same megapixels, but bigger sensor area), which normally means better image.

But in this case the lens might be really rubbish.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awojtas:
Mine is Vietnam 3.8mm too and pretty poor in dim light.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Will do, I'll try to have a pic up tommorrow :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgiliu:
as I said, mine is made in korea with 3.8mm so the country doesn't count.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:

I normally set ISO to auto.

i downloaded this apps name

screen filter

it will reduce the brightness of your screen that is far more better than the android brightness..just dont set the brightness to 0 because it will turn your brightness off
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ghaith Alshareef:
thanks

will try it
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] baz@gmx.co.uk:
works especially well with the "darkness" script at night, as mentioned in This Thread Thanks to Adolf1994 my LED will not blind me at night any more! (script only for rooted 2.1 and above)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] phflorian:
how does the app work? and how much battery can it save, for example, a day?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Rykoshet:
Just what I wanted for day-to-day use.

I prefer renderFX's "night mode" for eye-saving, but this is good for battery-saving. My display is set at 0% and still is the most battery-hungry thing on my phone...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] khelwani:
thanks

you reminded me that there's such a app

very useful
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Rykoshet:
WORD OF CAUTION!!!!!

DO NOT LEAVE THIS APP ON WHILE YOUR PHONE SLEEPS!!!

I haven't determined that this is the culprit, but last night I went from ~80% to ~25%, all the while having WI-FI off (I have 3G off always anyway), closed most programs, and had a screen filter on 30%.

I think the filter prevented the phone from fully sleeping or something....

Just some caution, please try it and report back.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] alamatnitotoy:
I haven't experienced that and I've been using it for 5days..anyway in order to track the culprit,install an APk named process watch dog.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Reintjee:
Ty man
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Actually, it will not save battery, if not drain it faster.

Here's why:

What this app is doing is applying a transparent dark filter over the screen,

so that you can look at it in a dark enviroment and not hurt your eyes from the brightness.

BUT the screen itself uses exactly the same power to light, but you don't see it, because the filter is there.

For example: if you set your brightness to FULL and then apply the filter and make it really dark, the battery drain will be the same as if you didn't apply the filter.

That's the way TFT screens work.

Now, this filter is running constantly, so it's a CPU stresser, thus battery drainer.

That being said, I love the app and I always have it on while I'm in the movies,

but I don't recommend it for daily use 24/7.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Dashkura:
Thanks in the darkness it's just the best app :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] DrKrFfXx:
I use it every night and I don't think it drains battery noticeably. 1% per hour maybe?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] psharifi.3746:
+1 Actually, it will not save battery, if not drain it faster.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] asmanthebell:
use the CF3D Nightmode its better and doesn't waste battery
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Depending in your personal phone usage, it might not be a battery drainer, but, as I explained above, it's not a saver either. ;)
[Nexus One General] stewi21:
Hi guys i recently had my defy stolen, and am pretty set on buying a nexus one off ebay, so before i do that: how hard is it to load custom firmwares etc compared to the defy?

How hard is it to restore to a stock ROM if i brick?

How hard is it to completely irreversibly brick and how does this occur?

And Finally what are radios and what do they do?

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
It's a simple as it comes. You can either load Clockworkmod recovery or Amon_RA. The former uses the ROM manager app to backup/flash roms as you wish. Amon_RA

does the same, except it lacks an app counterpart, meaning you simply dump whatever you want to flash on your sdcard, reboot to recovery and flash/backup from there.

The only real way of fully bricking the device is to either flash an incorrect radio or to poweroff/pull battery while flashing a new radio. You won't need to flash a radio image regularly so simply follow the links in the N1 dev forum and you shouldn't run into any problems.

Short of bricking via the radio, it is near impossible to brick the N1 by flashing a ROM. You can however end up with either a boot loop (Boot animation restarts infinitely) or simply a non-booting device (Black screen instead of boot animation) should you do something wrong. Recovering from these is pretty easy. Either restore a nandroid backup (A full system backup that can be created from both recovery images mentioned) or simply flash the original ROM you had applied again. This keeps your settings, apps etc but restores system files which are usually the reason for a non-booting device. Reverting fully to stock is pretty simple and there is a guide on these forums.

Basically they control your connection to your cell network, wi-fi and bluetooth. Simply update to the latest (Check dev forum) and you shouldn't have to worry about it.
[Nexus One General] stewi21:
okay and is flashing a stock ROM phone based or do u use a program on your pc like RSDlite for moto?
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
The development section has plenty of stock image and stock rom with several mods. You can flash back to stock in like no time

here's my experience, 3 times update the phone manually via stock recovery. 1st time rooted using one click app sideloaded, that is not available anymore due to the batch on 2.2. Second time rooting my phone using another one click method via computer.

So nexus being the developer phone, it really has no competitor when comes to android development. Except for the nexus s being another Google's kid.

[Desire General] b6rt:
Hello dear xda fellows :)

I bought a Bouygues Telecom (French provider) HTC desire in August 2010, and flashed it with :

ROM : Open Desire 4.10

Radio : 32.44

I called Bouygues Telecom to get a Sim Unlock Code, as my phone does not work with SFR. They told me my phone is already unlocked, which is possible as I got my phone at a shop which sells unlocked phones.

After doing some research I saw this HTC hero thread, which stands it can be a bug from using too recent radio.

Tried to flash with 32.43 but still the same : when I use SFR sim, I'm asked "Sim Network Unlock Code".

Any idea ? How can I be sure that my phone is actually blocked or not ?

Thank you very much for your help, xda is great.

What do you mean? OS = Operating System. Android OS = Android (Operating) System.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
The only other reference could be to the actual System files .

As i Windows OS has Windows System files or we talk about Windows System instead of Windows OS .

OS = Operating System .

the both are displayed in the phone... i really dont understand the difference
[Galaxy S II General] Brut.all:
Where are they displayed? What are their values?
[Galaxy S II General] Nuhvok:
He means that if you look at the battery monitor apps, there is a process called Android OS and a process called Android System :).
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
OS is all of the operating system

System is the system part of the OS exactly the same as windows .

Call system the core and it might be clearer .

ok so hello every one who has IS

i have it for 3 weeks and i notice that a lot of the times its slow and has a lot of laggs, this happens when i open apps list and scroll it laggs for a split second and the more i use it i find it in more places.

now is it just my phone or every one notices its not as smooth as you'd expect?

+

more laggs when Live Wallpaper is on...and i thought 1GH processor should handle it

IS suppose to be INCREDIBLE, whats going on ?
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
Have you updated to 2.3?

I wolud do a "factory reset", and if that makes it as fast as it should bee, i would then start to install your extra apps.
[HTC Incredible S] MaorIncredibleS:
i get what you are saying, but just as a phone, its not smooth

and live wallpaper takes all CPU and makes it even more slow.

is it just my phone that doesnt "FLOW" andd smooth?
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
I have lots of apps installed and is running LiveWallpaper, and i have no lag at all.
[HTC Incredible S] MaorIncredibleS:
sent you a PM

anyone else has laggs ?

what can i do ?

Initially mine was also laggy, but i updated to gingerbread nad the phone became fast. Not as smooth as iphone but was a lot better then before.
[HTC Incredible S] frogie147:
After a lot of testing I can say that the main reason at most of the lagy phones are apps installed at the sd card....Check which apps are causing the problem and put them at the phone's memory.I hope that this helps!
[HTC Incredible S] mazinya:
Then whats the point of having a SD card if installing apps on it makes the phone laggy
