[Xperia Arc General] harlz:
I have an arc S and my wife has a iphone 4s. Iv done a fair few comparisons and it turns out the iPhone is the winner. In EVERY photo the iphone has sooooo much more detail, has better colour saturation and doesnt blow out highlights like my arc does.

Im extremely disapointed with the arc camera quality. I got way better from my x10 and c905.

When the arc s and 4s have the same sensor it troubles me to think that the sony devs just couldnt give two ****s about competing especially if its going to eat into their camera business but guess what, selling their sensor to apple has pretty much stopped alot of people from going out and buying a point and shoot wether it be sony or another brand.

So all you android die hards that think apple is **** in every way, why dont you go compare the 4s camera to your arc and get a phone full of humiliation. Too the people or said they used auto exposure setting, what do you think the iphone uses, FAIR FIGHT....DONE!!!
[Xperia Arc General] bassie112:
True. But don't forget Apple and Android in general have another way of approaching things. Apple uses a 1-way-fits all approach in which there is very little customization possible. In UI, features, but also in camera this is obvious. This suits most (non-tech) people, but people who want to have control will hate it. In my opinion its too bland, closed and boring. But it works, so that is enough for a lot of people.

In android the user is the king. That means you have to know what you are doing to get the most out of it. Using the auto-setting is not as fine-tuned as it should be. SE and other Android manufacturers have many phones and setups to consider so making perfect auto-settings is out of the question in most cases. Apple had a much easier job with only 1 phone to tune. But most of us won't use auto-settings anyways. Even on normal-mode with middle-of-the-road settings you get better results than auto-settings on the Arc, which is very unpredictable.

I've compared both and they are very similar and subjected to taste. On auto the 4S is definitely better, that has to be said indeed. But if you care about those things and don't care about looking further than your nose than you should be better of with the iPhone experience anyways.
[Xperia Arc General] mhyke13ph:
If im not mistaken, when I watched Iphone 4S keynote, I remember when they introduced the 8MP camera sensor, and said that they "have done something to the sensor, we added additional lens to for better picture quality and..."

so same sensor on the Arc, but with a little modifications made by Apple to make it better?

Too much compression on Arc is very irritating :(
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
That's interesting comment because I also own X1 and also think it has amazing camera, I made amazing shots with it.

But I still think Arc camera is amazing. Also in low light.

It even got camera of the year award. Honestly X10 is a little worse.

The only thing which can spoil the game is compression.
[Xperia Arc General] harlz:
I can't comment about the original arc since I have the arc s but I do know the camera could be much better. Is it possible that the arc s camera may not be as good as the original arc? if it won best camera phone award I don't see how.
[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Well I don't know, the overall quality incl. night shots plus features?!

The funny thing is to go carefully through GSMArena comparative test.

In some areas X10 is the best of all three (X10/Arc/iPhone 4s)

but in some it loses.

iPhone 4s has great detail but - it makes too bright pics! Just look at ISO 12233 chart, which is grey but on iPhone it's white, lol.

P.S. Just compared Arc S/Arc/iPhone 4s and definitely there are spots where Arc S performs better than Arc, and tiny bit better than iPhone.

Arc S and Arc cameras are very similar but not identical.

not sure if you know this but every android phone comes with a kernel....
[Galaxy S II General] GT-I9100G:
I know but we need a new kernel

Example

Speedmode

To provide battery

And other things
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
oh you mean a custom kernel

never really found any advantages to custom kernels

there was a test here on the is forum to show best kernel etc

the difference was that speedmod had an extra 30 min of battery

hi

last night while using my phone i decided to run clockwork and do a backup. backup was done and i restarted the phone when it got stuck at the lg logo(was stuck all night) and i could only use cwm. i tried to wipe everything and restore the backup but it didn't help. tried another rom and that one worked but that's not it.

the thing is i had all my contacts on the phone memory and never did a sync with gmail or kept a copy on my sim card(WHY AM I SO RETARDED?). is there a way to recover them from the nandroid backup which i still have?

thanks in advance!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
Try to unpack the data.img from backup using unyaffs and copy /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts from the backup to your ROM. I personally use Titanium Backup for such things. You should try it too, it's the best tool for program management.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dionysos803:
I had the OG Droid before and now I;m helping out a friend. I remember that in order to get WiFi tethering to work on it you needed a Kernel that would allow it. Can any one point me in the right direction for a Froyo ROM and a compatible Kernel that can do WiFi tethering?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Zlatty:
why not get a gingerbread rom (like CM7.1) and then install barnacle or wifi tether app?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dionysos803:
I've never been too happy with CM in general...but i can always give it a try.

BTW would i need to change the Kernel with the CM7 rom to use WiFi tether or does the zip file containe a compatible kernel that gets flashed at the same time?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Zlatty:
It contains the right kernel. The only bad part about tethering on the D1 is that it creates adhoc networks and some tablet devices cannot see them. There are no workarounds on D1's side.

I have my droid tether w/o problem. Even had my computer VPN over the connection, which was pretty neat!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Jesushaxyou:
I can't get my PS3 or my laptop to successfully connect on my D1 tethering. The adhoc network is just annoying.
[HTC Sensation] ahmeddemha7:
my phone is rooted but its not overclocked but it still heats up during heavy use. even when i just play a game it starts to heat up right away. any advice
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Common thing my friend
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
Ok so your rooted but the real question is are you running a custom kernel and if you are most custom kernel's are overclocked by defult Im running a custom kernel and I hover around 1562 awake and with screen off 192 and i play he game's like asphalt 6 for a hour or so and my screen doesn't heat up however it did before I was rooted and running a custom ROM and kernel it could be your kernel
[HTC Sensation] red8981:
Some custom kernel heats phone real fast, and some doesn't. Flash Rom usually will change Kernel, too.
[HTC Sensation] Fata7ity:
- Don't use it heavy.
[HTC Sensation] stroobach:
Compare the sensation to a laptop..

When u use your laptop alot it heats up but then the fan comes in..

Since the sensation is as a notebook in CPU ( dualcore 1.2) like a Packard bell dot-s (old model 1.3 ghz dualcore) but without any cooling the CPU and when overclocked gpu getting hot.

My advice don't use it to much although most chipsets can handle 90 degrees before it auto shuts off (on a laptop) and on the phone I dunno but I guess it can handle 50-60 degrees

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RashaMatt:
There is something called "wifi Direct" which might be another name for the same thing. Read about it in the user manual, which can be downloaded from Samsung in a pdf. Sorry no link.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keethos:
If your trying to use the Adhoc to tether other devices to your Note to use it's data connection, then you go into your Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot, enable this, set up a password if you wish, then you can connect to it via wifi now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luffyp:
Does the phone see wifi adhoc?

Sorry to bring up this thread, didn't want to start a new one.

Now that many people own the nexus. Can someone tell me if the phone can connect to a wifi adhoc? To avoid misunderstanding, this is not the same as tethering phone's internet to other devices (that what's Wifi Direct is about, I think). This is the phone using internet from pc via adhoc wifi (for example using the program Connectify).

Thanks

There is a guide for galaxy s2, just google it (cannot post link), you need to change wpa_supplicant file

Worked for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padampadam:
sorry for bringing it up again.

changed wpa_supplicant to the one from galaxy s2 and changed permissions. But didnt work for me!

Anyone got files for me so i can use adhoc wifi?

i really need it! thanks a lot guys
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joman444:
If you used this guide "Connect to adhoc Wireless Networks on your Galaxy S2 (SC-02C)" the is should work, maybe it depends on firmware, I have N7000XXKK5
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padampadam:
well with this wpa_supplicant i can see the ad-hoc but i cant connect.

And although my note freezes if i use this one. isnt there one especially build for the SGN?

i have kernel N7000XXKK9
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keethos:
I don't understand, if you want to connect to a PC via wifi to use the PC's internet, then isn't it then down to setting the PC as the adhoc and connecting you phone via wifi as if it was connecting to an wireless router? Or Wi-Fi Direct (which is the phone connecting to other devices, not other devices connecting to the phone i.e. tethering)? Can anyone clarify what the issue is?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luffyp:
The issue is that, by default, the Nexus can't see adhoc wifi and therefore can't connect to it. You need to somehow modify wpa-supplicant to be able to see adhoc wifi.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padampadam:
yup, thats it!

But we are in Galaxy note forum ;) although the problem is the same..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keethos:
Oh I see, I did not realise that there was such an issue, thanks for clarifying that for me!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santhanvg:

I wonder if it was possible to change the resolution of an application from the apk (from a 800 * 480 960 * 540).

Thanks !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyf:
I'd like to start a child's game and hand my phone to a child with learning disabilities so he can have fun drawing, popping bubbles or exploding fireworks. But he always presses the home button within twenty seconds of getting the phone and now I have to take the phone back before he uninstalls something or calls someone.

I'd like to temporarily disable especially the home key, but also the others.

Is there an app or method to do this?

I don't want to permanently stop the button just long enough that I can leave my Epic 4g with a child running a game unattended.
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
Does anyone know the code for centering the clock

i am trying to edit statusbar.xml in the layout folder of SystemUI.apk , but I get is a blank black status bar

please help
[Thunderbolt General] Southern_mind:
You can find it in the gingeritis Rom
[Thunderbolt General] xXJay_RXx:
I think he wants help on how to do it on the rom he's using. but yes gingeritis has this. You may want ask chingy on his forums or on rootzwiki to see if he could give you any advice
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
It is also optional in Eternity through the tweaks. So might hit up that group or just look at how their status bar is setup.
[Thunderbolt General] xXJay_RXx:
I think the centered clock is cool sometimes but I noticed that notification texts sometimes overlap the centered clock or if you have too many notifications, it makes the status bar look all crammed together

this Thunderbolt has been Infected with a Virus for all Eternity
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
yeah it does on eternity, however i think I can make it go away when a notification comes in

I have the code now, i am just having problems getting my SystemUI.apk to recompile
[Thunderbolt General] jduran0509:
have you tried using the UOT kitchen and then extracting the SystemUI.apk from the build they give you? atleast you'll know its a modded version of the SystemUI.apk file you got from your own rom.
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
i took a look at virus' statusbar.xml and i think he is referencing other files for the clock location. probably because of his tweak options.

i will try out UOT

edit: tried out UOT. its not going to do what i am looking for. thanks for the idea though
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
This is something I've been working on for the past couple of days. And while I've successfully moved the clock to the center of the statusbar, I didn't like the notifications overlapping on the clock.

To try to avoid this, I changed the android:paddingRight value from 10.0dip to 180.0dip. This made it so that the notification text would stop just shy of the clock in portrait mode, but when receiving a notification while in landscape mode (ie. an sms notification), the text would overlap the clock since the 180dip padding wasn't enough to push the text to the left of the clock with the added screen width pixel count that results from being in Landscape mode.

Thus began my searching for alternative methods of setting up the layout of the "tickerView" which is what controls the text layout for notifications.

The only thing I could come up with that would always keep the incoming notification text from overlapping the clock would be to use a RelativeLayout string rather than LinearLayout and use the android:layout_toLeftof format, while using the clock as the id. Or in other words, android:layout_toLeftof="@+id/clock". But inserting that into the XML on the tickerView line was causing a compilation error reporting that the compiler couldn't find the resource for the clock id.

I'm not familiar enough with XML editing to figure out how to remedy this, so I have practically given up at this point and have resorted to allowing notifications to overlap the clock when in Landscape mode, but they are fine (no overlapping) in Portrait mode by using the aforementioned 180dip padding.

If anyone has any ideas on how to add the necessary resources to allow the compiler to recognize the clock id, hit me up and we'll see what we can accomplish.
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
can you attach your systemUI.apk?
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
You mean the one I have settled on (where it's fine in portrait mode, but overlaps in landscape)? Or one of the 30 or so experimental/failed attempts?
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
the one you settled on. I don't use my phone in landscape and I want to see how you did the clock in xml
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
is there any way you can help me bro?

every time i try to recompile systemui.apk using apk manager, i delete the files ihave modified in the keep folder but when it compiles, the files i deleted never get put back in.

how are you decompiling/recompiling your apk?
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
You must be getting an error with apkmanager. This happens when there is something wrong with the edits you've made, whether they be XML or .9.PNG (nine patch images) files.

Try this. Delete the contents from your project folder (or rename the project if you have things you need to keep for reference). Then, decompile SystemUI, and without changing anything at all, immediately try recompiling it. If it compiles without any errors, then the problem lies with the edits you've been making.

If it still doesn't compile properly without touching anything, then either the SYSTEMUI has something wrong with it to begin with (such as a bad nine patch image), or it has dependencies, or your apkmanager is broken.
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
I get an error when compiling, but it does compile and install on the phone correctly.

I took the text from your xml file, put it in my statusbar file, and when I recompile

I choose yes for a system apk, then choose yes to copy over all files I did not modify. I then delete all the files I have modified from the keep folder as well as the resources file. when I compile the apk and take a look inside it, the files I deleted do not get put back in the apk
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
do you mind sending me your systemUI.apk or your compiled statusbar.xml?

I have been trying to get this to work for two days and I am done trying
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
I can send you the status_bar.xml when I get to a computer. Just out of curiosity, are you attempting to change anything besides the status_bar.xml?
[Thunderbolt General] racinwarrior:
Nope. I am just trying to move the clock.

Is there a way to manually compile systemUI using another program? I just dont understand why when i delete the files I modified from the "keep" folder as directed by apk manager, the one i modified do not get put in their place.

It works fine if i dont change anything because nothing needs to be deleted from the keep folder.

i am obviously doing something wrong as i am pretty sure it works fine for others
[Thunderbolt General] Boostjunky:
Yeah, the only time things get left out after compiling an apk with apkmanager is when you get an error message telling you to check the log using option 21.

And the only time you get that error message is when apkmanager detects a problem with the edits you've made.

My guess is that you're missing a simple character somewhere in the edits you're making to the xml file.

Or... What program are you using to make the edits to the xml files?
