[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamelleon:
The same problem here. I had Defy normal and camera was quite good and photos was really sharp but now I have Defy+ and noise is extremely bad. Yesterday I flashed it with 4.5.1-134, 4.5.3-66, 4.5.3-109, MS2Ginger 2.1, and CM7 7.1.0-11 and I was trying stock camera app, HDR+, Vintage Pro and this one in CM and best picture I had from stock camera from 4.5.3-109 but it was really, really worse than stock camera in Defy normal.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nameite:
The normal defy you mentioned, did it have red lens or green lens?

I also saw a thread saying red lens actually needed more tweaks to take better photos since its more capable...not sure where I saw that.

Guess I wont swap out my camera module on my defy to a red lens.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo6o:
I did some tests with different settings of the camera. There is something wrong, and I hope it's software, but not hardware. There is noise even in pics taken in a bright sunny day. I can't believe motorola would put such an incapable sensor in our phones. I also noticed that normal defy with green and red lens take better pics. 5800 is even better.

Can someone dig in the camera driver or something. Or we make some noise to motorola, so they fix this joke.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamelleon:
It was green (soc) Defy.

Attached files shows differences between Defy Normal on Green Lens and Defy+ but only on HDR+ cause I don't have more photos from stock camera so Picture B shows differences between CM7 camera in Defy Plus and HDR+.

Pic 1 - Defy Normal HDR+

Pic 2 - Defy Plus HDR+

Pic 3 - Defy Plus CM7 Camera

Pic 4 - Defy Plus HDR+
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrolp:
Does touch focus make your pictures better?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272525
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo6o:
Nope, noise appears where ever it is dark, or where ever it is brighter. If it's not in the middle of a sunny day - the whole pic is on little annoying dots. Nomatter with or without autofocus.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisik:
Yes, the first what I noticed on Defy+ is, that pictures are rly bad. Not in the normal light, but where is a bit dark, there is huge noice. Even my HTC D2 was taking pictures better...hope, that its just some sw problem.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo6o:
I noticed that when you hold the shutter and focus, the view is much brighter and clean, than the actual image taken after that. As if the focus is lost at taking the shot.

Of all the camera apps ive tried, the camera app on miui is the best imo. Try it once

I just flashed ICS rom beta 2 on my hd2 an i can watch web videos from youtuby or any other site. I hear the sound clearly but no video...every thing else works great with rom outised of mass storgage ,camera....can any one say what i did wrong
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
This is a known bug, At least try and read the topic and replies.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] yehmaun:
Thanks for the reply..would have been nice to attach the thread..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
huh?

Have you been smoking crack today? I'm speaking about the thread you downloaded the rom from :rolleyes:

It has all the info you need, The rom is an early beta, it has various issues that are all covered in the thread.

PS. Would have been nice if you had used teh search button or at least read the thread you got the rom from.

Also, you need to watch this XDA video, It was given to you when you joined up but you obviously didn't watch it...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
I really really want to root, but don't want to wipe as I have my device set up quite nicely.

So quick questions - is there any way to root without unlocking the bootloader? And why does './fastboot-windows oem unlock' wipe the device? I don't remember having to wipe when rooting my SGS2, or SGS, or HTC Desire...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Nope. You have to wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
PLEASE DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN DEVELOPMENT FORUMS!

You have been a member since 2006 you should know this very well by now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
It was probably an accident. I've done it myself. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
My bad. I do apologize. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpasint:
A little public ridicule never hurt anyone.

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
So, what is the reason that it does a full wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Umm, if you unlock the bootloader you have complete access to the phone, you can add apps, pull passwords, rip contacts, messages, etc. They don't want someone to be able to do that to your phone without all your data being wiped first. Pretty standard security procedure...

Hi guys

Starting to come across a few apps that dont support my phone and the market wont let me download them. Is there any.way of pretending to be a different phone so.i can download them?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The3File:
Wrong section. And have u tried searching, i saw a thread where they did something like that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paprkut:
Yeah i searched around but i cant seem to find much

That method didnt work but a app called eris market enabler worked perfectly
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newbieshwa:
Hey guys, loving the phone; however am experiencing huge input lag when charging the phone, is that normal or am I the only one experiencing this. Using a Droid Razr X910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] benlane:
Is the lag from the time you touch the screen to select to the time the Razr responds?

If so, this is an old problem for Motorola - going back to the Droid OG. My wife's Razr had the same problem, I spoke with a rep in Verizon store and he confirmed the problem. Verizon sent me a replacement - fixed.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
OMG i have the same issue but mostly when i use a non guniune motorola razr charger.... but same or similar specs... how wierd ay. only happened a few times with the original charger
[Motorola Droid RAZR] benlane:
If you are okay with the lag, great. If you are not talk with Verizon - they'll replace - I think.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
I dont have such problem with XT910 and oem charger.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oaklands:
My problem is also only when not using a charger that does not meet the proper specs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newbieshwa:
Cheers guys, I changed to the OEM charger and the issue was fixed.....really weird, they the same specs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Don't absolutely use non Motorola chargers and batteries with Motorola phones. Those things won't work like they should.

Use only Motorola original batteries and chargers: if something won't work correctly get an original Motorola replacement over warranty.

You aren't dealing with HTC devices, Motorola products are engineered without any tolerance on currents and voltages.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madmikeuk:
Actually, input lag or ghost touches are pretty common across all smartphones with capacitive touch screens when they're used with cheap or faulty chargers - the amount of EM noise generated by these sub-standard chargers is enough to cause problems for the circuits that detect touch. This is due to them working by detecting tiny current changes in the conductive layer on the screen, which can also be induced by noise. Any modern Android phone will experience this if you charge it up with a dodgy charger.

That said, the thinness of the RAZR probably won't help - the touch screen controller will be less shielded, so the effect might be a little more pronounced than other devices. But you're right that you should stick with Motorola chargers - manufacturer's chargers are usually designed to spec to avoid giving off enough noise to affect their devices while charging.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] benlane:
What I know. As i said, had the problem years ago with original Droid. Had the problem with my wife's Razr. Exchanged for a new Razr using same charge device/method no more problem.

The issue is hardware related - capacitive screens, ghost images, etc and is fixed by a piece of hardware without a need of such close tolerances. IMO any hardware that requires that sort of tight tolerances isn't usable.

Recommendation still stands - exchange it for one that is usable.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] el_dc5:
I think you are incorrect there. I have 3 RAZRs and 2 came with 5.1v 870ma and 1 came with 5v 1000ma all phones are built same day. And one charger was faulty out of the box :) that's why I got the non OEM replacement while I wait forever for my original replacement...

Anyway my point is I didn't get a check aftermarket one I got a very good one and I use it with the same Motorola USB cable tested the output and its the same as Motorola . Both 5.04v and 992ma
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JainB:
+1...if i use the moto charger as opposed to my BB torch charger there is no lag and charging is much faster and for some wierd reason the battery seems to last longer..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] benlane:
Again, try a different Razr with the same "faulty" chargers. If the experience is like mine the different Razr will work fine with the "faulty" charger. Might lead one to believe the phone is the "faulty" part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Ok, there don't seem to be many, if any stock images to revert to if you need to restore and send back your phone. Especially if you have a custom rom like me.

I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR BREAK YOUR DEVICE, CAUSE WW3 ETC

Can someone just check over this. I think it will work but I can't guarantee it. Once we know it works, we can get people to extract various images so we all have something to restore to.

Now, technically that will have created a backup of every stock image on this system, correct?

If so, that should give us all something to restore to, should you need to send it back for any reason. To restore you would need to:

This should take us back to stock. The only thing I see it not flashing is the recovery.img. Not too sure how we can get that, however perhaps the Peter Alfonze recovery.img would work

Appreciated if someone could give this a second opinion and their thoughts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netchip:
Hmm, that's a good idea, BUT we can also boot in the CWM image and from there dd all partitions. I only don't know if you boot with fastboot boot, that img file is mounted on the usual boot partition :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Yes, that should save all partitions, including sytem, data, boot, radio, recovery etc. I'm just not sure if you will be able to backup data partition since it's auto-mounted in recovery (otherwise you wont be able to see the content of virtual SD card):

0 /tmp ramdisk (null) (null) 0
1 /system ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system (null) 0
2 /cache ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/cache (null) 0
[B]3 /data auto /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata (null) 0[/B]
4 /misc emmc /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/misc (null) 0
5 /boot emmc /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/boot (null) 0
6 /recovery emmc /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/recovery (null) 0
7 /sbl emmc /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/sbl (null) 0
8 /xloader emmc /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/xloader (null) 0
9 /radio emmc /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio (null) 0

To be honest this is very bad solution in Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Also I'm not sure why HSMMC devices are flagged as EMMC. I tried contacting with koush about it but no answer from him. OK, sorry, no more hijacking your thread :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
That was my only concern :)

I know its not an ideal solution, but if we can get this to work, at least it gives us an option in the short run
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Nobody got any other views?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Why other views? It will simply work, even with mounted data partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
That'll do! Now, just need to get someone to do it before they flash a custom rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I haven't flashed anything yet. I can wipe and make a nandroid backup, if it is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Please!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Ok, so if you want to go back to stock quick and dirty, this should do the trick.

1. Download this zip.

2. Extract to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

3. Boot into ClockworkMod recovery.

4. Restore backup "maguro_4.0.1"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankitb4u:
Downloading and saving just for the sake of saving it you never know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Could someone please confirm it works? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Where did you get that zip from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I made it. I am still in factory stock, so I just did a factory reset and made the backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Top guy! Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Let us know if you manage to flash back to stock successfully using this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
This will definitely work for rooted users and the stock recovery from PeterAlphonzo's images can be fastbooted back on if desired. A couple notes of caution though:

After restoring this backup, you will still be rooted and therefore not completely stock.

The radio is not backed up and restored by CWM and cannot be extracted using DD because it comes up all FF bytes in the image rendered. This shouldn't be of critical importance to most users because the radio is not typically altered by user modifications anyway, so this still gives you your best method of restoring a stock configuration until an official set of images is made available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
If you mean unlocked, that's what fastboot oem lock is for. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Ok, by using various images, zips etc posted on here. I've managed to get the phone back to the stock unrooted rom, stock kernels etc and the stock recovery.

I'll post a tutorial up later

Awesome, can't wait...
[General Questions and Answers] EwanG:
My "dilemma" is that I am looking for a solution that will provide communications in a lot of places and not just be dependent on WiFi. I have had several Android tablets and both versions of the iPad at one time or another (primarily setting them up for family), and up to now have relied on a PHS-300 and a USB WiMax stick for communications for the tablet, and an Optimus V on Virgin Mobile for phone/VOIP.

So I have two solutions I am considering in a couple of weeks when I get my XMas bonus. In both cases I am planning to us T-Mobile as the provider using their new $30/month plan for 5 gigs of 3G/4G data and 100 minutes of voice, and GrooveIP to do VOIP (which is what I have used on my current phone).

Solution A is to get a Samsung Exhibit II, set it up with WiFi tethering, and then get a Transformer Prime. This will require me to carry a bag with the Transformer, and means I may sometimes have to rely on the phone where it isn't convenient to lug the Prime. On the other hand, the quad-core Prime may eventually let me do things I can't do on a dual-core machine, and it is a 10+ inch screen which should make for easier reading.

Solution B is to get a Streak 7 4G model and a stereo bluetooth headset. This would mean I'd have the tablet with me all the time (I borrowed my wife's Kindle Fire and confirmed it fits in my pants pocket), although calls might be a bit inconvenient if I don't have the headset handy. That is a dual-core tablet, and at this time, I don't know of many things in the Android market that I would need more than that to do.

Solution A runs around $800-$900, while solution B runs around $500-$600. So is Solution A worth the extra $300-$400 and the occasional inconvenience? Anything you know about any of the mentioned devices I might want to be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmcfc:
I think its down to how much money you are willing to spend. I would personally go with solution A as you wont regret it. The transformer prime is a fantastic tablet which is future proof, so you won't need to replace it for a year or two. The Samsung Exhibit II is also a fine phone. I think the deal is worth the extra $400. You won't have buyers remorse when there is hundreds of new quad core devices coming out soon!

please an thank you
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Good luck with that bro lol.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html#DeveloperApis

You'll need a VERY strong machine to even compile a ICS build (at least 8-12gb of ram).

http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html

Porting isn't a good starting point for beginners. I'd recommend using someone's rom as a base etc or learning how to theme before you tackle porting. Its not a walk in the park for a noob.
[Motorola Photon 4G] J35US:
Can't argue with words of advice.so I'll try my hand at theming then .I guess ur right does I shouldn't jump the gun.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
I mean I'm just being honest with you. Learn how to take a base rom and cook it back together and flashing it on your device. Even learning theming can be VERY helpful for devs and you will gets lots recognition if you get good at it. I'd recommend dual booting Linux on your windows machine and start there. There's tons of kitchens and tools that will help you start cooking your own roms etc.

Step 1: Get familiar with Linux (doesn't really matter what distro: Ubuntu, fedora, kubuntu, etc) If you want to mess with Android youll need to run Linux (most of the time)

Just to add to your comment and distinguish the ATT SGS2 and ATT SKHROCKET) They just released the 2.3.6 for the ATT SGS2 (NOT the skyrocket). So maybe the i9100 UK will be on its way also.
