[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I HATE the stock ICS camera apk.

Almost half of the screen is waisted by the gray rectangle.

However, the HTC camera apk features full screen. And It has alot of useful features.

Is there an all that has full screen pictures while taking video and pictures THAT WORKS and has a wide range of features. I have checked the play store but there isn't any app that is as responsive as the stock camera. I have found one app that offers full screen but it's ehh.

Has anyone found a great alternative???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netomel:
I found some nice cameras if u are into manual cams check fv5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Looks nice. I'll try it out.

But I still wish it can have the full screen pictures and videos. I feel like I bought a bad phone every time I see dad's HTC phone camera APK turn on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
NVM!!!

It's perfect!!!

THANKS!!! :D:p:D:p:D:D:p:D:D:):D:):p:D:p:D:p:D:p:):D:p:D:):p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netomel:
Great it worked for u. That just for pics no video. Question how u get snapshots of screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
What do u mean how???

I'm using the Galaxy Nexus. i515.

If u got ICS 4.x.x then u have to HOLD LOCK and VOLUME DOWN together at the same time.

Then wait for a flash and done.

If u are below 4.x.x then this can be done and u'll need an alternative way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentose457:
Just because the viewing area is bigger on one camera doesnt mean that the pictures turn out any bigger.

For example...

Stock Camera...

Camera Zoom FX

Camera FV-5

Shot Control

BTW, can anyone guess what size the different cartridges are?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Yeah I know that. I just want a larger image while I'm in the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentose457:
Interesting... You think you phone is crap because the image preview on the camera (just one app) doesn't take up the whole screen? You know what they stay, 'Its not the size that counts. Its the how you use it.' :D

Of all the camera apps i have i prefer Shot Control. It has a lot of features and is quite a bit of customization. It takes better pics than the rest of them yet has the smallest preview screen.

I think you are focusing too much on the aesthetics of the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Oh u no what I meant by that if I just think about It for a min. :rolleyes::p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Did you say almost half the screen is wasted by the grey rectangle? That looks more like 1/3 or 1/4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Yeah I realized I over exaggerated that after I posted that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tali3sin:
I'm used to running alternate firmware on my Android phones, and with Jelly Bean so much more likely to occur as a custom ROM before HTC release an OTA in Australia, well, I'm looking to do it again.

The one downside is that it looks most ROMs use the default ICS camera app, which I'm sure is fine and all, but doesn't seem like it would take advantage of all the features the default HTC One camera app offers. The slow-mo video, power to take pictures while recording, burst/best shot mode etc.

So I gotta know, is the One X camera app available an APK? Are there any Senseless ROMs that include it? Is this likely to be the case for Jelly Bean?

And while we're at it, the Notes application isn't bad either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
Nope. Unfortunately. Sense-less roms lack exactly what the sense camera needs: sense framework. For a near non-sense experience with sense camera you can try cleanrom developers edition.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
I heard the International one x miui team are trying to port the camera if they do then we could pretty easily I would think, just something to look forward to.
[HTC One X] Atrixx:
A few users have reported a Blank Screen of Death, with myself included.

The problem being that the phone's display doesn't switch on when you wake up the device. At this time, Everything else will including the Digitizer and Capacitive buttons.

I have spoken with HTC service centers across Australia and NZ to come to the conclusion that this is a motherboard problem. The infamous flickering issue seems to be involved also, which ends up shorting out the video driver.

The issue isn't just limited to the screen not displaying anything either, there's also the possibility that the back light will cut out, and sometimes leading to corruption on the display.

This isn't just with some devices either, it seems like anyone that has had the screen flickering issue are at risk of this.

To give you an idea of how much it costs to fix this issue, I was quoted at $250 AUD for just the motherboard alone.

The best part is, HTC may also deny your warranty for unlocking your bootloader, as they have with me.

I'll be posting more information as it develops.

EDIT 29/07/12 :: I'm going to request a transcript of my last conversation with HTC but until then, they're denying that this is a problem and saying that it's the user's fault. How? We use our phones to much, or inappropriately.

It's becoming obvious that they're trying to avoid spending anymore money fixing these issues, and have decided just to move on and release a new One X model. (according to news sources.)

Also, Boobinator just posted a video of the One X's screen corrupting while it isn't stuck under the BSOD which you can see here and here

Just to recap.

When the initial issues were found with screen flickering and corruption on the display, we were told it was a software issue.

Many months later, I along with many of you are still experiencing it, even though it's not nearly as bad as it once was.

Now there are growing reports that One X's are starting to lose their displays, and the poly-carbonate weakening and bending the antenna pins. (You can find more information here)

This is something you should all be aware about when purchasing this phone.

Best of luck!

[HTC One X] xdviper:
Maybe us in America can file a class action lawsuit? I'm no lawyer here but anyone with better understanding of American consumer laws chime in?

This is problem that occurs with normal usage of the phone.
[HTC One X] dakine:
Another day, another hardware issue. HTC is going down the drain, im hugely disappointed in the way they are handling this mess. Improper testing, too slow to fix problems or ignore/deny them. Bull**** games about unlocking and warranty and now they are already talking about releasing more phones. Its easier for them to move on to a new model than to do the right thing and do a complete recall. Is this a QC issue or a design flaw, with all the negative reports I'm thinking its the latter.

HTC better handle this properly, they need to stop development on all new products untill this is solved.
[HTC One X] pierreammoun:
Can u please send me details about the store that sells the motherboard ?

I have the same problem...and I need my phone fixed !

Thx
[HTC One X] royoshukrun:
Is this the same flickering that happens in some ROMs when you rotate the phone?
[HTC One X] cfraz89:
Mine too :(

This just started happening to mine :( Nothing displayed on the screen, but it still responds to inputs. Even rebooting into fastboot, same problem. So everything is functioning except the display.

Have just handed it back to vodafone for repair, don't like my odds with the unlocked bootloader though :/
[HTC One X] VaderSKN:
I had this issue on Viper or Android Revolution, but not on other ROMs. But I'm starting to get wifi issue, scratches, scratches on camera lins. I should buy S3, not this.
[HTC One X] and313:
sent it back because of flickering. I just hope they will fix the problem properly and change the motherboard.
[HTC One X] Sebastian768:
This happened to my Incredible S too if any one's interested.....

I'm not buying the HOX, I'm sorry. There's just too many different issues for too many people with this phone. It's an expensive top of the line phone, that does appear to be pretty shoddy put together. I don't care if it's under warranty and I have dumbass-insurance if I break it, but I can't send my phone inn all the time even if it's free. You shouldn't have to send it in at all.......

I presume now know we know why HTC is loosing money, market share and their stocks are going down....
[HTC One X] boobinator:
This happened to me too, about a month ago, the phones been in repair since then(1 month, are you freaking kidding me HTC). I also unlocked the bootloader, lets see whether HTC charges me or not.

Also, I managed to get the display to work(somewhat) after shaking the device a bit. But even after that the display wont work properly, I even have 2 short videos of the screen acting weird when i got it to work. Here they are - Video 1 Video 2

Sorry for the ****ty quality, got it on my iphone. This was after I shook the device and the display magically started working. Even with the display working you can see it is really weird, even unresponsive at times.
[HTC One X] Atrixx:
So guys, there are a lot of places you can buy motherboards from, but they will charge you a lot more than what it's worth mainly because of the shortage within HTC.

I'm so sorry all of you are going through this, but i think we need to raise awareness of this issue. People are buying these phones without realizing there's a good chance they're going to have either bad WiFi antenna's or even a bad motherboard.

Send this to your friends, post it around, contact HTC.

Best of luck!
[HTC One X] CAPSGUY:
I am having this problem as well, as well as the WiFi antenna issue. The WiFi antenna somehow bent itself somehow, because after a while it was back to normal signal strength, so I didn't feel like sending the phone away for a month. But now with this screen issue it really is unusable, so it seems I don't have a choice anymore :(

EDIT

Here is a picture of an example of what happens:

[HTC One X] Christian Troy:
may heat have damaged gpu? it looks like when pc's video card is about to fail (like faulty memories or damaged gpu)
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
Heat damage.
[HTC One X] Atrixx:
I doubt it's heat damage, i hardly played games on mine and it had that problem. I think the most i played was Triple Town, and that was it.

Also, wouldn't it be a massive problem if it was heat damage? That means the tegra 3 processor can't handle stress, and given that the phone inherently has heating issues, this just draws the conclusion that the Tegra 3 is bad news?
[HTC One X] Christian Troy:
it may be a faulty soc
[HTC One X] Atrixx:
From what I've heard, it's been linked directly to the flickering screen problem. Which could mean that the first batch of One X's have all faulty Soc's? I mean, it's not uncommon for there to be manufacturing difficulties for the first few batches, but this is just absurd.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Not all of the first batch flickered. Stop exaggerating.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sathanvs:
I seem to no longer have the ability to freeze apps after the update. I'm rooted on stock 211 and voodoo shows everything is good. ROM toolbox gets granted superuser access but every time says "failed to freeze app". Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Easiest Method - Thanks to billard412! From his post:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28169785&postcount=14 (Give him thanks)

What worked for me to to go to the screen where it requested it(thru ##3282# menu) once there type getprop ril.MSL in adb or terminal, if it shows nothing type anything in the msl box, and after it says invalid code retype getprop ril.MSL and it'll show. Hope this helps

Method #2:

I didnt develop this, but think it best belongs here. I take no credit for this. This was from Viperboy, and I expect him to get all the credit for it. Please go to his thread and thank him.

I used the zip from Viperboy in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621993

1. Download the flashable zip and flash from recovery

2. Let the phone boot and go into terminal emulator (I use adb from command promp in windows)

3.Type "su". **If using adb "adb shell" then "su"

4. Type "getprop ril.MSL"

****I have had instances where the flashable mode didnt work. In that case, try the manual way listed in Viperboys OP****

Tada!!!! Right it down.

Now you can do all those hidden menu things ##DATA##, etc.

Here is a video of the first method, using connectbot (terminal emulator). http://youtu.be/CWb8ootppo0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shadowsnake6666:
Easier Way

I downloaded "Get my MSL" from the market and it gave it to me before i was even rooted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Cool. I have always run scripts to get mine, and it didnt work with this phone, so I tried Viperboys method. Thanks for letting us know that worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
All I get after flashing and typing

getprop ril.MSL in terminal is

app_152@android:/ #

What can't I get this msl?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
This doesn't work either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
I have got the OP method to work on mine 3 times now. You may have to try it a couple times. I noticed that after I flashed the zip, I went to /system/bin and msl wasnt there. I used root explorer, moved msl to /system/bin and gave it all permissions, then did what I said in the OP via adb and it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
Get my MSL doesn't work for me either. Worked on my Nexus S 4g and Evo, not on the GS3. I'm rooted. Maybe that's the difference? I can't imagine why that would make a difference. Anyone else get their MSL using the app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
The app didnt work for me, but like I said, try the manual mode if all else fails.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shadowsnake6666:
You guys are right I'm rooted and running a custom rom and I tried the app again and it didn't work good thing I wrote it down before I rooted :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Here is the easiest way with any sprint phone. Activate it online and it's what they called the "programming code." I don't know if it will work if you are already activated. But if you have a backup phone. Activate that then activate your SG3 again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rgregg504:
I got it with connecbot, no root. First time didn't work, did getprop alone then did getprop ril.MSL and got it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] peanut1596:
I've tried everything. I can't get it. I know how to cuz I've done it a million times, but now it just doesn't want to.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sarreq:
I'm totally stuck, can't get my MSL at all. no method here is working for me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
If it didnt work for you..

What worked for me to to go to the screen where it requested it(thru ##3282# menu) once there type getprop ril.MSL in adb or terminal, if it shows nothing type anything in the msl box, and after it says invalid code retype getprop ril.MSL and it'll show.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danon.brown:
You could also activate the phone online at Sprint.com takes 5 minutes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] quick99si:
I was able to get the MSL by calling in and requesting to perform a full system reset (not just data). ##RTN# requires it in order to proceed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] misterio53:
This worked perfectly, thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
Doing what billard412 says, worked, thank you.

ungainly slntin

does it mean there is a way to use Odin to read my msl without having to downgrade to LJ7? or am I misreading here?

thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
No, that means if you're rooted, flash an lj7 room, if not, use Odin to downgrade to lj7 stock Rom (you don't have to be rooted to use "get.prop msl" in terminal

Sent from my ANTHRAX sniffing GS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
I called Sprint and have been passed from manager to manager regarding how it's now Sprint's policy not to give out MSL while the phone is under contract. This policy, as explained to me, makes no sense.

I asked for something in writing - haven't heard back from Sprint yet.

Swyped from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
Sucks that they are giving you such a hard time. I called and told them I had no other phone to call from but I needed to dialer code to wipe the phone. They gave me.the step by step and gave me my MSL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rpenrod23:
None of the above worked for me but running this from terminal emulator (as root) worked on my S4:

getprop | grep -i msl
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JUSMEJOSE:
I have a thread on the gs4 in general that changes your spc to 000000's
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] srk2040:
Waste of Time for AAA & HA key write or read.

If your having hard time reading AAA & HA on Galaxy Note II and SIII, don't even bother. I tired to read and write and it appears to write, I cannot validate since it won't read and whenever I turn on the phone it gives me error 16 so I'm pretty sure AAA is not being written.

Eventually, I ended up calling the Sprint rep when the ESN was changed to have them reset on their end and forced a profile update on my end. Note, I was able to update the profile when I enabled the wifi on it after calling the Sprint rep to have it reset on their end.

One word of MSC code, if your phone is not part of the "plan" then the rep cannot give you the MSC since it was never provisioned on your account. This is one case when you simply can't call the Sprint rep and say hey what's my MSC code. My legacy SERO 500 is a prime example, it doesn't allow any Android phone on it so it was never switched over to give me MSC code or for a Sprint rep to look it up on their side and they absolutely cannot get the MSC code unless it was under your account at some point in your account history.

On the newly 4.1.2 firmware on SIII, you will have to take it back to 4.0.4 firmware and Get My MSC app works like a charm. Other than getting back to an older firmware, 4.1.2 did not allow me to get the MSC from any app or terminal scripting program and I tired it for 2 days straight digging through numerous methods.

For anyone who tried to get Galaxy Note II to work, I got to the point of getting and receiving phone calls but got mixed results for that as well. When I used a Touch Pro 2 as a doner, it ringed only once one the phone and when I did catch the call it blanked out on the screen so no way for me to switch off the call other than pulling out the battery or wait for the other person to hang up. If I used other doner phone like Sanyo Katana, it ringed more than once but again when I answered, the phone blanks out and no other way for me to access the phone other than wait until the line get disconnected or pull out the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Thanks a lot for this!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davidmoksha:
Just so you know - bad esn often means that the phone is stolen. So by buying that phone you are likely supporting thieves and encouraging them to steal more.

Yes, there are situations when a phone might have a bad esn for some other reason. But this is by far the most common.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ragde2210:

Thanks i have tried a lot of different methods

I just switched over to Ting with a new S3.. and I noticed when you log online to your account and click on your device settings, they actually give you the MSL for your phone in plain view :good::good:

this is on ting's site or Sprint's site?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s9amme:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacron:
I just tried to activate my E4GT and then reactivate the GSIII. The code that they gave for the E4GT was the MSL but the one they gave me for the GSIII didn't work for the data programming. I contacted support via chat and the lady just gave me a dialer code that reactivated my phone. Guess I'll have to reflash the LJ7 rom to get it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] oranges311:
Im sorry you guys Im a little over whelmed. None of these app methods work for me and I really want to change my prl to go to a verizon tower because I have zero reception from sprint at my house.

If someone could plz give me a step by step or point me where to go. I dont even know what keywords to use because when I search for msl and change prl it all seems pretty technical and i cant get any of them to work. I have tried everything on here that I could except the parts that say to odin to lj7? I have no idea what that means. I dont want to root or unlock my phone and I have tried contacting sprint and they adamantly tell me no they will only give it if the phone is deactivated and yada yada. Can someone have mercy on a noob and explain to me what exactly I need to do in order to get the msl other then the rooting and the get my msl app (even the enter the 000000 first then run it again method) please
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moduli:
Weirdest thing happened. The first thing I tried when I got my sprint gs3 was to get its MSL, and naturally I tried 000000 and of course it didn't work. It is on the latest MD4 so I flashed an stock LJ2 rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1910947

Then all of the sudden 000000 worked. So I restored my nandroid and back to MD4, and 000000 is still working. Weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Andr3wD:
Am i doing it right?

I use Terminal Emulator and type "getprop ril.MSL." It returns nothing. I then went to the dialer and entered a random 6 digit number when it asked for my MSL under the edit menu. Went back to Terminal and it still gave me nothing. I even tried with the Get my MSL app.

Finally working 10/6/13

Finally got my MSL. I was running MOAR v5.0.1 rooted with SuperSU and nothing would get the number. This included running getmymsl from the Play store, entering wrong code and checking alogcat and running adb shell/msl commands with root access and the getprop ril.MSL command.

As a last ditch effort I took prboy1969's suggestion and flashed the stock JB 4.1.1 L710VPBLJ7 via Odin v.307

I logged in and ran getmymsl from the play store and voila, finally got my 6 digit MSL

Wrote it all down, reflashed MOAR w/ root and tested my MSL code. All is working and I was finally able to write a new PRL to my phone. So far so good.

To everyone here, thanks for the help!

Or the easiest way is to go to sprint.com Log into your account, select My Device tab, on the right click Change Phone Number, once you go through changing phone process it'll give you that unlock code along with your IMEI, you can have the option to email it to you! It's that easy :)
