[Nokia Lumia 900] tfn:
Let me see if I can give a simple explanation..

For your halo effect or as you can see its yellowish in the middle a been a noted problem in the lumia phone ( Samsung SGS2 forums are filled with similar problems what they call as the pink spot).

Apparently the phone might have a problem of adjusting the white balance and hence giving the yellowish tint.

Solution : I would try and see if you can manually adjust the white balance on the camera setting and see if it makes a difference to you as people have seem to found better results then the auto settings.

Regarding the Second problem as mentioned above its Noise which you probably get with low light photography.

SOLUTION : Try using flash with lower iso if possible, The higher the iso the more the noise, the lower the iso the less the noice will be and also make your pictures more darker, best to use flash.

Just my humble thoughts... and I dont have the lumia yet, but hoping to purchase one soon.

There are quiet a number of bugs in the lumia 900 which nokia has acknowledged and will be addressed in future updates
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
If your Lumia 900 is taking "horrible" pictures 90% of the time it is either defective our you aren't using it correctly.

There are several adjustments on the camera. I suggest playing with them. I definitely change the color balance depending on the lighting conditions and I mess with the scene settings as well.

When you say the pictures are "horrible" what are you comparing them to? Frankly I've never been impressed with the low light capability of sensors smaller than Canon APS-C. Especially if you decide to go pixel peeping the way the OP did. I pixel peeped an image from a point and shoot camera years ago... I never did it again. You see all kinds of things you don't really want to know about.

I just made switch to this phone from my Android.

Can anyone suggest me a kickass ePub reader ? Should be something like Aldiko or iBooks.

Thank you !
[Focus General] valuxin:
You can try Bookviser. It supports epub, fb2, txt. Realy like it)

But as alternative you can try OverDrive Media Console.

no super cid111111 and i'm on ics last thing i flashed that worked was a sense 4 rom that i installed through boot manager then when i flashed a rom properly it all when bad and now wont load anything
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ok you flashed the sense 4 rom through boot manager right....not dual boot right

did you have the rom zip file ?

is so ..extract the boot.img from the custom rom's zip file ( generally in kernels folder ..if it has more than 1 boot.img the choose the one of your choice)

keep the boot.img file in your adb folder (pc)

then go to fastboot on your device ..connect it to your pc

then on pc

type this

fastboot flash boot boot.img

then reboot

to reboot

fastboot reboot

chk it and see ..if this solves your problem
[HTC Sensation] dextninja:
i think i tried this like million times but when i tried just then it actully loaded into the bootscreen....................

AND BOOTED!!!!!!:eek::cool:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
i presume it worked for you...:confused:

from now on if you flash any other rom..then you have to repeat the above process...to avoid any other problems :D
[HTC Sensation] dextninja:
time to make a back up hahah

anything else i should do?

thank you guys so much i was just about to throw my "brick" through a window hahaha
[HTC Sensation] Shortstuff-Tom:
Following your advice after "Bricking mine" i have managed to get further than before.

I can access Recovery, if i let it boot normally it comes up with Juopunutbea sreen.

However Recovery is unable to mount my SD card to do anything else and Juopunutbea wont find my device.

I am hoping i am able to recover it still?

I am currently unable to check the SD card but I am very worried and just seeking advice for reassurance.

In theory, if my SD card is now dead I should be able to use the recovery img i have on my C drive i have got from following a guide or the boot/recovery image from Juopunutbea folder?

I was slightly foolish when i was rooting it.

I completed the unlock and recovery successfully

But when rooting it with Juopunutbea it said to use the wire trick. I still had the back on! I was hoping i could take the back off to do so but ended up removing the USB cable, hoping for the best.

I fear my SD card is dead but my phone is still recoverable

(Apologies in advance if this is a complete noob question but as said i am very worried and looking for advice and reassurance)

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Juopunutbear won't brick.. Your device...

I really like the new MIUI ICS stock apks, but i dont like the UI as much as the CM9 ICS which I think is more functional, and i dont like the stock apks on the CM9 ICS. Is there any way to port the MIUI apks to CM9? Are there any dev's who can do this? Or are there any tutorial on how to do this?

I've seen a ton of threads with attachments of ported MIUI apks, but they're generally really old or not real MIUI apks.

I have attached the apk files files that i would like to port.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nabil alami:
Hi everyone.....so does anyone know a way to remove those stupid stock apps that come with the prime?? and btw I'm NOT rooted.

Thanks :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stefan662:
You can 'disable' many of the stock apps with standard apps tool under ICS. To remove system apps you can't disable you need to be rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nabil alami:
ok thanks ill check it out....and do u kno a good and safe way to root?? also is there a way to unroot?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stefan662:
If you are on .21 firmware it is not so easy to root.

1. you have to downgrade to .15 (see here). Beware this is not without risk please read the instructions very carefully.

2. root (see here) and protect the root status with 'OTA rootkeeper'.

3. update via OTA to .21 and restore root with OTA Rootkeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nabil alami:
Thanks for the answer but i disabled the apps from the settings like you said and everything is fine, thanks anyway. :D

So a little more than two weeks after I bought my Galaxy Nexus (Sprint), it had a rather unpleasant meeting with concrete. The screen is so cracked, Charlie Sheen is impressed.

Right now they're on back-order with Asurion, so it could be up to two weeks before they ship my replacement. Not sure about the VZW Gnex.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else is as unlucky as I am.

Peace!

How is it a rip-off? For $100 they're sending me a replacement. It would have easily cost a lot more than that to get the screen replaced, and the retail price of the phone is $550.

Is that the what you paid in addition to the insurance, or just the insurance?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
When was it ever a good idea to break your phone? Your thread title does say, right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
Actually, that's rather fortuitous for you. Asurion typically does not keep new phones on hand and stocks up on refurbs. What your current situation means is that you'll likely receive a new replacement. "up to two weeks" is their standard disclaimer, but you'll probably be without for just a few days while they acquire a new handset from Sprint and then shop it to you after they receive it. Same thing happened to me in January with the VZW GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
I don't know about fortuitous... it has been a week and I haven't heard jack **** from them (not even emails) and all I get over the phone is "its on back order"

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Optimal Carnage:
Do I have never tried Google voice and I'm confused about what exactly it is to be honest. When I go online to view my Google voice account I haves phone number assigned to me, but if I try to call that number out says unable to complete the call. I have the number associated with my spring line but nothing happens. Am I just misunderstanding Google voice? I was hoping I could use that number for people that I don't care to share my real number with that way I can just turn off Google voice in my phone when I don't want to be reached on that line. Sorry for the run on its late.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Optimal Carnage:
Wow, not one person had an answer for me? I guess posting in the Q&A forum wasn't the best place, if I would have posted in general or development I'd have an answer already a day later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Here's a good place to read up on it.

http://support.google.com/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1205636

You have two options when you install google voice, you can select next during install to integrate google voice with Sprint. What this will do is you will have the option of either using the google voice # as your actual phone number on the cell phone or you can port your Sprint number and it will replace the google voice # that is assigned.

From what I understand from what you are trying to do, I would make sure that when you install the app, select skip to avoid the Sprint integration. Then your next step would to to sign on voice.google.com and set up a call forwarding. This will enable you to give out your google voice number to people and when it rings it should forward the call to your Sprint phone.

First of all this is the right place to post. Secondly you posted at 2 in the morning, it probably went straight to the second page until now.

I recently had to go from ICS back to stock GB due to a bad flash.

Name: Operation Justice – Iran Assault.

Besides the name the game have no relation to politics!

Concept: Fly a fighter aircraft and bomb the enemy forces (tanks, buildings, anti air guns and more...).

You also get to fight enemy planes.

You can fly 3 planes in the free version: F15, F117 and Mig29. Each aircraft have a special force, like missiles support and airplanes support.

The enemy forces constantly launch anti air missiles and anti air guns will fire at you none stop, and its your duty to avoid the enemy fire and successfully bomb the enemy forces.

You control the aircraft using your finger, and throughout time your bombing skiils will improve.

Hello, I've seen in your signature that you're using

Alfs v07 ICS + CM7.2 GINGERBREAD V7 + microSD 4 GB Class 8

As far as i know, CM7.2 is CM source based rom. It require Tiwlan driver by Alfs V08 CM and not Wlan driver as in Alfs V07 ICS & Alfs V08 GDX.

So, you had flashed wrong kernel for your rom. Don't forget about alfs add-ons also

Edit: It would not trouble you to read through the post clearly right? The post had said that only for specific kernel will work for his rom :)

I had the same problem as you with those stupid errors. I thought I was going to be stuck until I tried moving files around.

First, I followed this guide:

Then, I watched this video because sometimes seeing someone do it visually helps me out a little more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgIYFGcVimU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

For some reason, even after following these two things, I was still getting those errors. I decided to move the script file (vwhk folder) out of the C:/ location to the actual Platform-tools folder, located in Android-SDK folder.

For me its, C:/android-sdk/platform-tools

Finally, after taking all these steps, I did some more digging around and found out that putting the phone into the bootloader through ADB is what I needed to do, if the regular way wasn't working.

To do this, simply type in "adb reboot bootloader".

Then take the steps to to run the script.

This is what I typed in. (It maybe different for you depending how you have it set up.)

1. cd c:\

2. cd android-sdk

3. cd platform-tools

4. vwhk (hit tab, as it will auto-fill)

5. hack (hit tab again)

6. Sit back and enjoy.
