[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ishamm:
Its not normal, but I do occasiomaly use larger screens :p but thanks, 9mp is indeed still great, and MILES ahead of any other phone ive seen
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joshua_sx1:
But why Sony designed the 12MP camera when it is actually not optimized on Xperia S screen (i.e. full screen)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zlotvor:
Xperia S screen is actually 0.9MP (720*1280=921600). Any picture taken with larger resulution is not possible to display without reduction in size. That's the first reason.

The second one is that 12MP has 4000x3000 pixels with aspect ratio 4:3 while the screen is 9:16 (or 16:9 in landscape).

Hope this helps.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] giorgobiani554:
Also interested...

Guys, I'm also interested in one thing, I'm newbie photographer but I'm doing well in taking pictures, but I wonder one thing, which resolution is better for photography 12 or 9mp, I see there is not big difference in resolution since 12mp is 4000x3000 and 9mp is 4000x2250 << please help with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It depends on whatever you like best. I use 9mp, cause it's the same aspect ratio as my phone and my TV.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] giorgobiani554:
Thanks, I like 12mp because of details, but 9mp more modern I think, 4:3 resolutions looks a bit ugly, and I dont loose much details 750Pixels not big deal
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Porchy12:
Also, the more megapixels you have, the more chance you have of getting more noiee2! :(

I always use 9mp on my XS, because it's still better than most camera phones out at the moment! (IMO)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xerox89:
To get 16:9 12 mp you will need more than 13.333 mp sensor to do so .

Or just simply upscale to 12mp from 9mp .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alexoz:
There is no difference in quality/details/noise whether you use 9 or 12mp. The only difference is that when set at 9mp, the image will be cropped to the 4000*2250 size. That means you lose 1.5mp (4000*375 pixels) from the top of the image and the same from the bottom just to get the 16:9 aspect ratio, resulting in a narrower field of view.

So basically a 9mp photo from our xperia S is the same as a 12mp photo cropped with photoshop for example, to make it have a 16:9 aspect ratio.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
Before anything, I've asked this on the Android Q&A and Evo 4g Q&A but have not gotten any replies. I'm asking for my friend who uses an Evo 4g, but I'm pretty sure any dev can answer this as it is not a device specific question.

My friend is on CM7 for the Evo 4g. He wants to know if there's any way to increase how long the lock screen stays lit up before it sleeps again(like when you light it up to check the time). I've personally never seen any option for that before, and honestly never cared about it but now I'm curious. I'm assuming that the lockscreen sleep timer is tied in with the default sleep timer but I'm not entirely certain. If they are separate timers then this would probably be easier.

So does anyone know where or how to change that? I'm not adverse to modifying a few system files here and there if necessary. If you could even just point out where the code for the sleep timers is located that would be handy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
Nope its tied in with the setting screen so if u have your phone to remain lit for 30 seconds, 1 min whatever that's how long the lock screen will stay awake for
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
Thanks for the reply, been waiting for someone reliable to answer this for awhile. If I ever get around to some serious dabbling on this phone this will be something I want to change.

I just have a quick question, is there a way to install Svoice without rooting the phone or does it have to be rooted? i have SG2 virgin with ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shankar10:
Had to be rooted since it requires to access to root level so that you can push the apk file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dragonfire665:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dragonfire665:
I know most if not all roms here are pretty close to perfection, but i seen so many threads, saying which rom is best, but not one clear one is. There are so many different choices. So is difficult to choice which one. I think, for me it will be best if i wait another week. Now that the official T989 ICS rom is out, i bet most if not all custom roms will get an update.

Quick question:

If following this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311194

Will it keep my phone in stock rom, or would i have to reinstall a rom after i follow all this steps, or is there a way to get root access without installing a new rom and all the bells and whistles?

Hi Guys Please Help.. I successfuly rooted my phone and installed clockwork mod recovery superuser and busy box. My phone is still on the stock rom im trying to Flash a custom rom. When in recovery mode when i select Apply Update from SD Card it starts to update then i get a Error message

E:Short write of/ tmp/sideload/package.zip

Can Anyone give me a little guidence on how the fix this thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
if you want to flash a custom ROM, then i advise to read and comprehend what you are reading or you run a risk of bricking your device. Most ROMs are flashed using install from SD and NOT via UPDATE from SD - again please READ up

what ROM are you trying to flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chickmagnet_25:
im in recovery mode i want to flash the new ucld2 base rom by flapjaxx. Ive already rooted and flashed my personal galaxy note but this one is for my wife and her phone is being a compleate "*****"

im in recoverymode and the choices are

1 Reboot System now

2 Apply update from SD Card

3 Wipe data/ Factory Reset

4 Wipe Cache Partition

5 Test Redbend fota (FS)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chickmagnet_25:
Im flashing the UCLD2 base rom by flaphjaxx... I have read up and I do have a basic understanding of whats going on. like I said ive already flashed my own galaxy note att and its running fine. the difference is with this one i keep getting the error message and ive tried to find the temp file to deleate it but ive had no success of finding it and im not evern sure that would be the fix which is why im here trying to get some answers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
I can't stress it enough read up on the how tos before jumping in -

it looks from your note you don't have clockwork mod recovery installed - do some research on how to install that - that will be your first step

then once you have it installed, download the custom ROM zip file to your i717 note

the description for flashing it is here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664980 make sure you read it and know what you're getting into or it will be a headache later on

now to give you a short summary -

boot into recovery

select backup and backup your current ROM

Wipe data/factory reset

select Install from SDCARD

navigate your sdcard to locate the zip file

select it to install it

Just for the record, you should still read the basics on Rooting, Modding roms, etc.. You keep on using the wrong terminology and procedures. You may dodge a bullet today or tom but you will eventually get yourself in a jam.

not theyre not cold claims. no Issue or bugs whatsoever on this, if you don't put random mods. AND YES if you install custom kernel (like in the instruction) it will have lag free. ONLY Install custom kernel that suits your phone hardware best, in my case Bricked works best and with the force 2DGPU rendering on in the settings, my phone is very responsive.

ENJOY :D

You mentioned in the first post about updating radio - I've got 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M. Is this correct?

Also, does the ROM automatically wipe all? Like the "Format all partitions" option in 4EXT?
[HTC Sensation] thelegendarylegends:
Yep that's exactly the latest and the right radio :)

Yep it'll automatically wipe all, but I suggest to also wipe all partitions of the recovery too :) enjoy :)

thanks :) uhm force2dGPU is for smoother scrolling across your experience.. and it really is up to you to enable it or not, but i jst recommend it cause it's one of the major updates in ics, dont wanna waste it right? hehe

anyways yeah its up to you, but for better performance in scrolling and lag free, turn it on, in my opinion :) enjoy :)

[Solved]

Hi,

I get "Connection timed out" when trying to access Play Store.

Using the latest gapps (29-4-2012)

Calendar is synced properly but GMail was not installed also can't sign in to Gtalk.

I can access the web play store but I don't get the install on my tab.

Already tried:

- XDA + Google search - didn't find a solution.

- flashing AOKP and CM9 P4 (9-6-2012)

- data/cach/devlik wipe

- Play store clear cache and data

- Installing an older version of "Play Store"

- Installing a version of Android Market (didn't work at all)

Please Help, Thanks !

p.s. the store is working when i go back to the ROM I got from my carrier.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamirgilad:
Update:

I managed to connect to GTalk but no luck with the Store :(

I got a theory:

maybe my provider changed the device name (I had problem with that when I flushed).

Than i connected using that device name.

and now I can't access the Store because the device name doesn't match?

Just a theory - i really don't know much about it...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahmed:
Can you try this:

Open play store, go to your application '' downloaded '' , click on one of the free application, uninstall then install again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamirgilad:
Hi, after many tries it eventually started working (using the SIM connection).

I trying different networks so I don't think it had something to do with my router, but maybe something with the device wifi (maybe wifi security?).

Anyway - it's now (randomly) solved.

thanks.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nithin007:
Dude, it's just a silly problem

Happens when you bypass Google billing service using some apps like Lucky Patcher or Freedom

Its damn easy when you have got an rooted device

1.Just download Adaway and let it build up the host file....

-- Or there is an alternative solution to it...!

2.Delete the host.text file in etc folder which you can access in ES File explorer or the Root browser by Jrummy apps..

Automatically Google Play Store detects the missing host file and it will build up once again

Hello.

I have next problem with DesireS.

Unlocked Hboot 2.00.002

4EXTRecovery

Any custom ROM

When i try to go back to official ROM, phone stucks at HTC logo.

How i do it: i flash system, recovery and boot through the fastboot, then Relock bootloader.

Also when i lock bootloader, there's a new line: ***Security warning***.What does it mean?

If i unlock bootloader, flash recovery and custom ROM, it will boot.

Can someone say what is this and how to back to stock?

PS: Sorry for my bad english.I hope you'll understand it.

Please look at the INDEX thread. There are guides for returning to stock, and you're not following them.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
It seems most of the mods popping up for EVO LTE require a deodexed ROM. Is this the way it is going to go? I know little of the differences. I'm running pure rooted stock. That is ODEX, correct?

I would need to flash the pure stock Deodex to use the mods I'm seeing.

Thanks beforehand for your answers!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
What mods are u trying to run? The apple function and google wallet fix only require u do a build.prop edit.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yes. Stock is odex. ROMs that are odex tend to have apps on hand ready to load faster, as the odex for the apk keeps a bit of the app preloaded and ready to open. But deodex is much easier to mod and theme.

At least, this is my understanding from the last few years of reading. Some prefer odex. I do not. Deodex makes it easier to mod /system on the fly.

[TouchPad Development] havikx:

[TouchPad Development] toyface:
I thought that the Nexus One had a Broad com chip that did infact have FM radio just like its HTC Desire counterpart based on he same SoC and that it was done at the kernel level concerning drivers

I didn't think that Bluetooth and FM radio were intereoperable at all, correct me if I'm wrong, please
[TouchPad Development] enik_fox:
I remember seeing an app somewhere to do that but not through the Bluetooth but through the SoC I think. Spirit FM or something
