Let us know how you like it. The reviews I saw said that it breaks easily and interferes with the signal/reception.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sirilpta:
our galaxy sl video recording is not having continous autofocus like sony ericsson phones. is there any application or mod available to make it continously autofocus. or u guys can make it up....?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
What do you mean by continuous autofocus?

continuous auto focus is indeed available on i9003 I shoot tons of video last 6 months with this phone, what problem are you having?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Dont angry bro..ronhoover is a very good guy. What ronhoover said is right. He just wanted to tell u that u have posted ur querry in wrong section. This section is purely for something new developement. You just rename ur post that ' move to general thread'.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Well, ron has a point firstly, this section has been given our own development and general unlike the previous section, So please request your queries in the general section from now on. Also ron has had his share of people who constantly avoid reading the rules so you may have to not bear your fangs at him for that.

The stock video doesn't autofocus btw. But you can pinch to zoom. So far the stock recorder isn't reliable? On a certain level the audio becomes fuzzy like trying to record a concert or festival would make the audio inaudible and annoying. But ofcourse no one uses their phone for such festives. You may need to research since the camera.apk from SonyE is driver dependent and not compatible with ours. Maybe CM7 version fixes this. Also you haven't mentioned what firmware you are on, that's your biggest mistake
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
stock video indeed autofocus have you ever shot video with it by changing subject distance? if yes then the camera automatically adjust focus distance that's called continuous autofocus, this requires certain light level else auto focus will fail that might be the reason OP complained.

Try shooting in daylight with 4 feet distance from subject now suddenly go closer to 1feet, the camera will auto focus to 1feet distance, now further go to 4 inch distance & camera will auto focus in macro mode, now come back to 4 feet it will again adjust the focus ...............hope its clear, at least my camera does & I have shot 1000s of video with this phone, truly amazing hd quality, sound is not of pro quality & the pinch to zoom is in reality cropping the video thus lowering the resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@sgsl, Hmm I never knew that, Thanks for the info :) Most of the times I had to do the manual focus. The standard zoom just shows everything by default. Maybe it was because I was on Froyo when I did most my recording, Haven't done so in the GB series. Wonder if it's a new feature. Regardless, Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
I am talking about froyo only last 6 months have been on xxkb3, just 2 days ago I updated to xxkpm, nothing has changed in GB the camera has always been like that.

Moreover manual focus you are talking about is only in still camera, in video cam you cant do any thing to focus, the cam does on its own.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
First of all, stock video does auto-focus. Secondly, OP needs a hard lesson on gumption. Please post in the correct section *facepalm*
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
True story LOL
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] JustKiddin:
I'm on froyo, and the video recoder indeed autofocus during recordering.

Share your overclocking speeds here,

mine is fixed at 1.4GHz :)
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Mine fixed at 1.5, governor InteractiveX
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
1.3ghz, won't go any higher, don't plan on getting a new phone for another year so I don't want the cpu to **** up right now.
[Xperia Play General] eugenechiuu:
Can someone tell me the differences between the different governors and I/O scheduler? I am running 1.4ghz with ondemand nowadays
[Xperia Play General] consegregate:
CPU scaling governors controls the CPU clock speed according to CPU load, based on the governor you are using. In setCPU there is a site that explains the various governors.

I/o schedulers controls the resources given to processes. Don't know too much about that.

Correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
Mines at 1ghz at all times until i play a snes/genesis emu then i put it to 1.9ghz, it's the only 100mhz step that stops the crackling sounds, and it can go to 2ghz stable but no point in stressing it past 1.9ghz
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
Mine is running at original 1Ghz and I don't feel the need to overclock at all. When playing FPse and Snes9x the games run very well anyway. I don't get any crackling sound unless I play in an area with bad reception so it searches network all the time.
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
doesn't anyone else get crackling sound in SNESDroid, GENPlusDroid?

there the only two old snes/gen emu's that give 100% graphical/sound reproduction but need a lot of cpu/gpu

All the other emu's give me crappy sound/glitches in secret of evermore, and the water in chemical plant in sonic 2 is missing sooo..
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
Have you tried Snes9x? SNESdroid is based on Snes9x and is a bad rippoff. Snes9x is like the true Snes9x that is available for PC and has better sound/emulation than SNESdroid. Besides, you paid for SNESdroid right? The author of that app illegally took money for that emulator as its based on open-source. That's a reason why it was pulled of the market.

You can find Snes9x on explusalpha.com
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
DL Secret of evermore and go to the menu/enter name and listen to how bad that sounds, now play it with SNESDroid

Hear the difference?
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
The droid emulators are slower because they have more accurate emulation not because its a worse emulator, it even has things like shader support. Plus most of that devs emus are open source which is awesome! If you want them for free just compile them yourself.
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
Never played that game. I'm sure this can be applied between other games vice versa. In my experience though all games I play runs as well or better in Snes9x. Never stumbled upon a game so far that for me sounds bad or bugs in graphics.

Another thing with that emulator that I love is that you can turn off linear filtering for the graphics so the pixels are intact without blurring the heck out of them. Only that feature alone is worth a lot for me.

But personal taste is like the ass. It's divided =)
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
lol, but there are other games, so yeah use whatever emulators you want, let make this thread focus on OC Speeds
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
Yeah. I apologize.

I'm curious. Our phones go as high as 2Ghz? Sounds insane. Doesn't it kill the battery?

My Play at 1Ghz feels a lot faster than my HTC Z did when it was clocked to 1.2Ghz.

Quadrant score on my Z was 2500. On my Play it is around 1300 unclocked. Which leads me to believe the Quadrant scores are pretty much useless for comparison as my Z needed over 1Ghz for games to run smooth while they run perfectly smooth on my Play at 1Ghz.
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
I suppose it's different architectures of arm cpu's and different instruction sets that makes a game/program run faster on one but not the other.

And i wouldnt trust quadrant to save my life, i get 1600 to 1800 underclocked and 2500 to 2900 overclocked to 1.9GHz then 2500 below for 2GHz so i dont know.

Also battery life is quite bad at 1.9ghz but runs out significantly slower on 1.7ghz
[Xperia Play General] noojster:

Your premium key is linked to your IMEI so it should stay regardless of which Sense ROM you use (HTC Locations won't run at all on a non-Sense ROM, premium key or no premium key).

[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
Is there anyway to restore a nandroid by using a computer? For example, lets say my phone is soft bricked and/or bootlooped and i cant get to cwm recovery. Anyway to boot into cwm using like a promt on your computer? I know everyone recommends a sbf back to stock using rsd but im jw. If not, that would be a really good idea because that could eliminate sbf completely and no one would ever need it if you have full backups and you could communicate to your phone via a command promt and boot into cwm. Would this be hard to accomplish? Like i said just wondering. What are your guys thoughts?
[Motorola Droid 3] gkitab:
read up about the fastboot method. its not a nanadroid but will get you back to stock in a pinch very easily. all you have to do is put all these unzipped files in a folder. power up your phone holding in the me key, scroll down to ap fastboot, select hook it up to your phone, from computer click click here in the folder you created. your computer opens up a prompt and reflashes your phone back to stock.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] runningdap:
I'm currently using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 NAND rom, and i updated it yesterday to the latest version. I'm always using the pattern lock to protect my phone from random people holding my phone and be sure that only i can operate it.

So, after two reboots (after having flashed the new ROM), i used Titanium Backup to restore all my previous settings and apps so that i dont have to set up everything from the start, and the pattern lock was restored as well.

Now you might ask, whats the bug in the whole situation:

The bug

When you wake your phone and you are on the screen that you have to enter the pattern, there is an "Emergency Call" button on the lower screen. If you press that and then press the "back" button, you can actually skip the pattern screen by just touching one of the circles or drawing a random pattern!

This might have happened because of the Titanium Backup restore or whatever other random reason i cant think of right now

The solution

Just disable and re-enable the pattern lock from the settings.

I'm just posting this here so that you don't freak out if some random stranger manages to pass the pattern lock without actually knowing the pattern

[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
You can push anything to /data as it's user writable. This is the mount used to install application.

The zergRush binary in /data/local/tmp is the actual binary which uses an exploit probably in the kernel to get root priviledges and then pushes su/busybox binaries.

There were many such attacks for 2.2/2.3 psneuter/rage against the cage etc earlier but they didn't work on SGS2 as the security flaw was fixed. This is a new flaw found by some brilliant dev.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Most probably it won't. But if you get official KIES update you will be unrooted again and there is a high chance Samsung will fix this flaw and you won't be able to root with this method and have to go with Insecure kernel method.
