[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I tried playing around with settings and Nothing helps. Im in a dark room...even with night mode on...I see tiny black dots. Flash didnt help much either.

Has anyone tried their camera on offcial ICS...ITS HORRIBLE! They should have never messed with the black contrast black crush issue. Even the camera from the market has the same outcome. Why oh why Samsung?!!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
It is NOT normal on Samsungs. It was fine on gingerbread and leaked ICS. How did I blame ICS? I said after the update...this happend. Samsung apparently tried to alter the black clipping/crush issue and it back fired. WTH does the crappy iPhone have to do with this thread?

Your reply did NO help. Why comment? Trolls are useless.

Dude I'm just sayin I always have had horrible pictures on the note it doesn't have strong flash support. My camera pics are too dark even outside it does it . Gingerbread it does the same thing there's nothing wrong with your phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sharples:
I have noticed the same thing. The photos in gingerbread were more saturated and had a higher contrast. The camera on ICS seems to have removed those settings as the pictures now have a washed out look to them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] perlmane:
Try camera zoom fx. It works for me.

There is a ton of camera apps in the market. Have you guys try camera fv5. It tales pictures in a dark fantastic.

For indoor shots, I set the iso to 800. Helps get more light in flash or no flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I tried day time photos and it seems to be ok. I guess for night time...I will turn on night mode and maybe set the ISO to about 400. But I agree....theres still some washed out parts for dark pictures.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Have you tried transferring and viewing the same pics on your pc? I'm betting they look much different, and better (which has always been the case with the GNote camera and gallery screwing up the gamma and contrast when you view your shots on the phone itself). This is a direct result of the well-known black clipping/crush issue.

Try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
I will try this asap.

EDIT: Well it looks ok on the computer. I guess its just our screens displaying the wrong blacks.

camera really sucks so far

HI,

i'm amazed at how bad the camera is on my newly flashed ICS Objection (note: it's not team perfection's fault)...

i've tried the native app and also Fv5 (i bought it...).

for some reason the preview image looks great but the resulting snapshot (even after transferring to pc) looks AWFUL. I've tried all kinds of settings and nothing helps.

I had great camera sharpness and performance on GB... so it's not the hardware. WTF is going on here??

Is there a fix for this??????

thanks for any info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Pffft.........right

you owe your fancy iphoney camera to sony, and likely your display to samsung.....but hey, keep telling yourself that apple built it......LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hololight:
Using a different camera app won't help. The camera apps don't talk directly to the camera hardware, they just request a picture and the firmware hands one back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] romanelli:
Don't know what you're saying my camera works great.

Try using some of the fantastic settings it came with.

You just need to learn about the phone. It takes longer for some people to get used to the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ARTAQaf:
my 4 year old 3 megapixel fujifilm crappy camera takes better pix than my Gnote ever did...maybe i got a DUD. hate to admit it, but my iP3GS took better pix.

i have taken photos off of all 3 cameras and then uploaded them to snapfish and had them ship me the 4"x6" pix...the GNote's much higher 8 megapixel camera gives the poorest results for me :( it must be just me though, as most other posters say how great their pix turn out.

but i still love this phone!! wouldn't trade it for anything else. :cowboy:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikuNoctis:
Well, first of all I've read this Tutorial (How-TO and it says that if my Play has an update after November 11 I can't root it that way.

Does it that mean that I will never be able to root it? There is a way to root such models with that update?

Any advice would be aprecciated.

These are my phone specifications:

R800a

Android 2.3.3

I used to have an Xperia X10a and I flashed it the North American Version using flashtool and some ftf files.

Can I root it and flash it to another version using this tool and having these specifications?

I dont want to brick my phone but I want to have root access and if possible change to another build, because Telcel is pretty bad and consumes a little space in memory.

Thanks to all of you who have answered my questions and thanks again for the help.

Settle down buddy. Had no clue they weren't taking registrations I just registered today. I've seen a few people on this forum running the Rom and that why I installed it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Loneeagle14:
So is it a sense based ROM? I'm not familiar with the developer honestly.

I'm interested in trying it out. Maybe only so many people can register per day or something? Very odd that you were able to register recently and now its unavailable. I'll keep my eye on it though. Thanks for the heads up regardless.

If you are interested in joining, just PM WildChild. As long as you aren't always starting crap, I'm sure he would be more than willing to set you up.

Registration is just closed right now because of a few offenders starting trouble. It's bad enough that the troubled minority dissuade devs from staying at xda, but now they even start crap at a devs own site. hmmmm.....when will the world grow up???

Other than that though, I really would leave wcx talk for the wcx forum. No sense in stirring anything up or aggitating anyone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
Is there a way to add the Auto Adjust Screen Power setting to roms that do not have this setting? I would like to use some of these great roms but they are too dim for me. To see what I am talking about, if you have this setting, check mark it and you will see all the apps become very dim and for some reason all the roms that do not have this setting have it have this set by default with no way to uncheck it. It would be great if this could be added to all our roms cause my vision cannot take the strain of the dim screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
Any devs listening?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I read in another phone thread there was a screen xml that controlled the level of auto brightness and could increase the level over 100% so you could see the screen better in daylight.

So it is possible but I have no skill or clue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] touch_rules:
Just so you all know, I've searched the forums, google, and read the consolidated q&a thread and haven't found this anywhere.

I bought 2 evo's, 1 for me and 1 for my wife. My wife's evo on the pull down notifications says "Event Highlights for the week" is downloading. I can't seem to stop this and I don't know what it is. It runs all the time. This does not happen on mine.

Anyone see this and have a solution?

Thanks.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
My dad had a download stuck in the notification bar.

I had to clear data for download manager, force close download manager, then restart the phone.

The culprit was an attachment he was attempting to download through gmail.

Hope this helps,

An app cache cleaner and removing the battery would accomplish this too if I'm not mistaken.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Thhaaaatttt seems a little excessive on a phone that you would have to take apart to accomplish such a thing :P

Anyway, my girlfriend had the same thing happen to her, sometimes notifications gets stuck like that. On her case I just force closed the app and re opnened it, downloaded the attachment correctly then. So try to force close before you erase data ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] touch_rules:
Thanks, I may try some kind of app cache cleaner, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't try removing the battery :)

[Captivate General] johnnyrichter:
Was using Corn 7.0a kernel and Legend 5 ICS ROM without any issues. Earlier I decided to try out Corn Kernel 7.06 again just to see if maybe the first time was a bad flash, because that first time my phone suffered from random system halts that required a battery pull. I really wanted the full option list of that Corn Kernel, plus that 200mhz overclock. Same problem occurred.

I then decided to try out the Glitch kernel + CM9 ROM, installed both via CWM. Phone would go to some sort of android error log/screen after the ATT bootup screen and just restart over and over.

I then decided to use the Odin One-Click stock KK4 w/o Bootloader method to get the stock GB KK4 back on the phone. It stopped after "<ID:0/006> Set PIT file.." so I hadto close Odin, reboot the phone to get to the "Firmware Upgrade Fail" screen, re-open Odin, unplug/replug the phone and try again. It worked and my phone booted up to the stock GB KK4 software with no issues.

I then tried to flash the Semaphone kernel via Odin which apparently worked according to Odin, but it did a reboot loop just like Glitch did. I tried this because CM9 users that couldn't get glitch to work ended up using Semaphone apparently.

I then tried to use the Odin One-Click stock KK4 w/o Bootloader method again to go back to stock but this time the reboot doesn't do the trick. All it says on Odin is...

<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/006> Initialzation..
<ID:0/006> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/006> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

I then tried the Gingerbread KK4 Easy Root to Corn 7.0a Kernel method but again my phone is stuck in the infinite boot loop.

Did I do something wrong when switching kernels earlier? What could have happened to cause these infinite boot loops, and why is Corn 7.0a kernel now doing it when it worked fine before?

ETA: I eventually got the Odin One-Click w/o Bootloader method to work, enabled USB debug mode, ran the Gingerbread KK4 Easy Root to Corn 7.0a Kernel method which worked. Now re-installing Legend 5 ICS ROM, Legend 5 Stainless theme, and TouchWiz 4.0 + all my apps.

Would still like to figure out what went wrong earlier, and why I'm unable to use other kernals and roms. It's not that I dislike Corn and/or L5, I just want to be able to try out other options.
[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
U need to use regular Odin3 v1.83 or similar (or regular heimdall [not one click].) to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel back or Stock KK4 Kernel.

Semaphore is an ics kernel...

[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
If u want to flash another kk4 rom and u have corn kernel, then all u have to do is put that rom.zip on ur internal sd and install it through the cwm recovery.

If u want to try cm7, miui, or ics roms then there is a specific install procedure for that as well, that must be followed, which should be in that particular rom's op.

U just can't go flashing incompatible kernels without issues...u must always flash the kernel that is designed for the base u r on (kk4, i897, i9000, ics, cm7, miui, etc.).
[Captivate General] johnnyrichter:
That was my problem then, it seems.

This is the kernel I originally wanted to try so I could go with the CyanogenMod 9 ROM...

And here is the thread for the ROM...

[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
U have to install that cm9 based rom through the corn kernel cwm recovery 1st. Then once ur running that cm9 based rom u can flash that cm9 kernel. There should be some installation instructions in that cm9 rom's op.

And flashing that cm9 from corn's cwm recovery u will probably have to flash twice. -- Once from corn's cwm and then when whatever kernel that cm9 rom is using boots up, u will then have to install the rom from that cwm.
[Captivate General] johnnyrichter:
Ah ok. I was doing the kernel and then the ROM, didn't know I had to do the ROM first. :o
[HTC One X] iLV16:
I've been wanting a HTC One X for a while now. I was going to get the North American version, but 16GB just won't cut it (I have about 7GB of music itself, and that's always increasing). So I turned to the international version. The thing is, I've been reading about a lot of problems. Is it worth buying if there are so many problems with the international version? Also, does anyone know if I can buy the international version online off contract? I checked Amazon, but they only sell it without warranty. I don't think it's worth taking the risk, buying it without warranty. Any input is appreciated!
[HTC One X] real77055:
never buy this phone without a warranty!! or online. and if you going to buy just check everything possible. especially lcd screen(there maybe a yellow dots)
[HTC One X] iLV16:
But I'm going to be buying new, from an authorized seller. So I wouldn't have to check for anything right. If something is wrong, I could get a replacement. The only problem is I don't know who sells it unlocked and off contract with warranty. :s
[HTC One X] real77055:
ok. you can finde it in expansys or gsmnation i would recommend the last one.
[HTC One X] iLV16:
So does the GSM Nation one come with manufacturer warranty? For HTC I believe it is two years.
[HTC One X] real77055:
as i know both site will give a warranty. they have min. 10 days returne policy. and after that you will contacts HTC directly for your warranty

Okay thanks a lot! GSM Nation is actually cheaper than my local carrier. Thanks for your help. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wayzata:
With stock ROM I get:

• 2-3 day battery life

• All apps work

• Strongest signal

• 100% working wifi

• fastest overall, zero load time for almost everything

• and finally I don't need to install gapps or anything

With any other ROM I get:

• Possibly 1 day battery life

• Orgasm if I get any signal at all

• Wifi works completely on one in a billion roms, flaky on most

• Bluetooth rarely works

• No fix for any issues on ROMs that don't have major devs working on them

• Some apps don't work, and on a few ROMs some apps even kill the system and make it hot reboot

• Lag like it's a 3-year-old donut phone with the processor speed of a retarded potato with AIDS

• some need gapps, which is annoying to re-install every time you update, which also, you have to do every few days instead of once a year

So my conclusion is that screw custom ROMs. It might just be my device but that's how it plays out. I'll be much more careful to buy a phone that will have real support in the future, like the SGS II, Captivate, and SGS III do/will have.

Oh yeah and about my sig, that is the only ROM that I've gotten close to working 100%. And he's not a gtg, but he's got more support than big devs like that ever did, so if you're a sheep and need to use custom ROMs go with MoM.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Crinkypops:
I apologize, but I strongly detest the statement. I do respect every bit of what you have said, but I really do think that it is just a matter of personal use.

I have ran Aeon and other amazing custom ROMs and so far the best I have tried was Zeus 6. There are a few kinks, but hey-- it works!

Consequently, though, it's all a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the debloated stock and customize it their own (i.e., build.prop tweaks, etc).

What I am getting at here is that there is no need to bash other custom ROMs. Although you did not point your finger on any specific one, but it really means a lot for people to like the developers' work. It's an Android Device... This is the main reason we got this: open source.
