I'm having the same issues... Sometimes the pictures are really blurred and not sharp at all. Camera doesn't focus to good.

What is the solution??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] iamdchosen1:
Try taking pictures with the other camera apps or try the Cybershot Mod which you'll find in 'Themes and Apps' section.. If the problem still persists then it has to something with the lens!

Hello all,

I recently purchased an S3 and just trying to figure everything out for it (as I am coming from the nexus where everything is much simpler) The only real question I have for everyone is, What kernel is the best so far? Something that is optimized for battery life and speed.

If anyone is from the Nexus development you would know about Franco's kernel which has served me well for a long time, So what I'm looking for is something that is like the Franco Kernel, and has customization settings.

Any insight would be great

Cheers.

When running an AOSP JB ROM (like CM10 or AOKP), I'd suggest ktoonsez's KT747 kernel. It supports overclocking to 2.1 GHz, undervolting, comes with numerous tweakable governors and io schedulers, and it comes with its own adjustment app called KTweaker which is very handy. Just don't use SetCPU or Voltage Control or any other such app with that kernel as they could cause conflicts with KTweaker.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756776

The current KT747 for Sammy ROMS seems to be having issues with many phones though, so for Sammy ROMS I'd say your safest bet is faux123's kernel. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1785466
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xeirro:
Much appreciated. I was seeing ktoonsez's KT747 kernel, and figured this was the "main" kernel for the s3 but I just had to know for sure. What you describe with it is exactly what I'm looking for in a kernel...full control of it. Thanks again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Also on KT747 ktoon created his on governor called ktoonservative. It's based off conservative but it's kicking some serious butt with my device :good:. I'm also severely under-volted but that shouldn't really change much as far as battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Xeirro:
I tried the kernel (both actually) and had no luck with either, one caused everything to fail ie: wifi, data, launcher, touch screen was unresponsive. And after flashing in the other one that says it is 100% stable on all devices, I was left with a phone that wouldnt turn on, and when it did start up, the screen was unresponsive. I tried clearing caches, fixing permissions, but nothing worked at all.

So I went back to stock kernel. Hopefully some of these issues can be resolved some day.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Are you sure you flashed the correct version? Both kernels come in ICS and JB flavors.

Also, I haven't seen anyone else with this issue so I'm not sure what happened.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djsyche:

Are you sure you downloaded and flashed the right one?

Install Flashtool you can download it from here

then go to flashtool drivers folder e.g. "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and install the drivers

:D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Once you got Flashtool installed in your PC go into your Cdrive. There you would find a folder called "Flashtool" open that folder and navigate to find another folder called "Drivers" You find a .exe called "Flashtool-drivers.exe" and install that into your pc with this exe you would install the necessary drivers for your xperia device of choice. The .exe will ask for permissions click on yes for every single one of them. Mission accomplished.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurosaki99:
already try that , still cant solve my problems . i also tried use pdanet , still cant get it working , guess my pc 'refuse' to install the drivers . sigh ~

Test another USB, and check if the driver is compatible with 32-bit

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajah:
Hi,

I've tried every USB port on my computer (win 7 x64) and still no way to install that driver!

The device stays in fastboot mode for a couple seconds only, and then shows SONY logo and starts charging battery.

Device SONY Sola with stock firmware 6.1.1.B.1.54

Flashtool drivers are installed, but it always complains that they aren't, and device manager shows that "s1boot fastboot" device for that 1 second, if that.

Any sugestions?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajah:
Alright... I found my mistake!

When installing the FlashTool drivers, I only checked the ones for my phone (sola). I went back and installed the last two (Fastboot and flash mode) and all is well now.

So for the record, I succeeded by instaling 3 drivers:

Sola driver

fastboot driver

flashmode driver

Hope that helps anyone!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slim207rc:
I Know what you're doing wrong, had the same problem!

Once you've changed the path. Let flashtool install the drivers, make sure you click on fastboot drivers aswell.

Once installed, go to run, type in cmd and the the commands you want to run.

E.g. Fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] be4con:
I did an OTA update to JB and successfully saved my root with OTA Root Keeper. I then had to do a factory reset and my device went back to ICS which I was surprised by...

I ran the OTA update again and it failed. I couldn't re-download from the ASUS site OTA so I downloaded manually. Ran SuperSU, updated my binaries, backed up root with OTA Rootkeeper then ran the manual update to JB.

On reboot I tried to restore root but OTA Rootkeeper reports that there is no backup of root saved so I am stuffed.

Where should it be saved? Why would it have been lost during the update? Is there any chance than I can recover it from somewhere? I'm wishing I hadn't bothered with the upgrade now.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
Hello all,

I've finally decided to take this problem to the entire forum.

I am a rom-crack addict and have successfully installed dozens of roms on all my devices. But i'm having trouble with the GPS on both of my TF101's.

Every rom i've tried works perfectly except for the GPS.

I can only get GPS working with a stock install + stock kernel (9.2.1.24 & 27).

I've got my TF101 installed on my car dash and really need GPS.

I've tried EVERY rom available and tried all types of fixes. here's what i've tried:

- tried these roms: CM9, CM10, EOS2, EOS3, megatron, revolver, AOSP, AOKP, Revolution HD, etc.

- tried Clockworkmod & TWRP....format system, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik prior to every rom install.

- used the kernel that comes with the roms.

- installed .24 or .27 kernel's over the roms (no gps unless i revert from rom to stock with these kernels)

- tried Guvenors kernels (all versions),

- installed AGPS flash fix (mount system, install) (even modified build.prop with GPS settings...although i didn't see any of the modified code lines that AGPS was supposed to install in build.prop.)

- let the rom settle for 1 hour each time i install

- tried the regional reset app available on the market

- tried to get satellite fix indoors and outdoors

I haven't tried these:

- snort salt and throw the lime over my left shoulder (can't find limes b/c out of season)

- trade up for a Galaxy Tab

Logically, if none of the roms work on my tf101, then there's something wrong with my tf101.

but i have 2 tf101's. no luck on both.

and i can get great GPS on stock 9.1.2.24 & 27.

thinking of getting an external bluetooth gps receiver, but don't want to spend another $100.

not having a rom on my tf101 sucks almost as bad as having an ipad.

can anyone dig deep and help me solve this problem?

thank you, thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 53l3c7a:
I have the exact same problem. I haven't resorted to stock, but I have tried many, many roms. No GPS love for me, either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
I have heard this before from some peoples, no GPS with any custom ROM. GPS work for me on all ROM I've tried. Currently on Megatron with Guevors v21.5. The kernel that's been modified by ricardopvz.

Have toy tried the app "Faster Sat Fixes"?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deerhurst:
I had good GPS on stock, OK on ARHD and Revolver ( faster fix helped with these ) and nothing no matter what I do with my ASOP JB ROM I'm currently on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
Yes, i've tried faster sat fixes. believe that just speeds up the satellite aquisition. i've left my tf101 searching for sats for 24 hours inside and 4 hours outside on my deck. both with fast fix and without.

since stock works perfectly on both of my tf101's, it must be the rom or kernel.

i've literally made a variables matrix of my attempts...it's 3 pages long. i've tried every combination of installation proceedures, rom types, kernal types, app fixes, build.prop modifications, etc. IE: a+b, a+c, a+d, a+e, a+f - b+c, b+d, b+e, b+f - c+d, c+e, etc.

there must be some coding variable that is missing or not correct in all the tf101 roms. something variable that some pads like and some don't.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
I used "1-Click Transformer Root_1.1" (says it uses the Niloj TF300 Exploit) to root my tf101's.

could that introduce a variable that the rom's/kernel's don't like?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sp_Ark:
Had the same problem with all custom roms I tried so far, till an hour ago. I am using latest eos with kat 1.0.1 and no matter what I tried i couldn't make it to fix position. With gps essential it could see 4 to 5 sats but no fix. I tried gpsfix and fastfix as well with no luck. Then I accidentally left the tablet at my balcony with gpsfix left opened and left the house. I when I came back after an hour I think, I had a fix with 6 sats. From that time I had rebooted several times, turn on/off gps several times and I always get a fix within seconds with a-gps turned off. I also got the tablet to another location (where I'm right now). Turned on the tab, and in 10 secs I got a fix. I hope it's solved. So my suggestion, give it some time for the first fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
thanks, ark...i'll give it a try in a few hours...busy now.

if you'd have told me to hold the tf101 in my left hand and throw a dead cat over my right shoulder...i would have tried it.

will let you know.

thanks for the effort.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
nope...no joy.

it is certainly recognizing more satellites, but i've only achieved lock briefly a few times. no where close to being "useable".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sp_Ark:
Unfortunately I'll have to agree.it's unusable. I tried it in the car and it couldn't keep the fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
Success!!! Yes, yes!

although it took another hunderd dollars, but i acheive full lock (hehe..:D) in seconds.

i bought the Universal Bluetooth GPS receiver by Dual, followed the instructions, paired it with my tf101, allowed 'mock locations' in system settings, downloaded "Bluetooth GPS" app from store, made 2 app setting changes, and.....voila!...GPS lock instantaneously.

Tried this on ICS Megatron & Revolver - JellyBean TeamEOS nightlies. all works fine!

yea, it's another $100, but it now makes my $1000 tablet useful.

hope this helps others.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 53l3c7a:
Well, my situation improved. I used the ARHD superwipe-full script, then formatted each partition a second time for good measure. I flashed CM9.1.0 just to check CM's progress. I can at least see satellites now (nothing before), but it would be pointless to try and navigate this way since it doesn't lock very long. GPS-Status shows 5-6 satellites, locking on and off after 20-30 seconds of searching, and sometimes dropping out. When I was on stock HC and stock ICS, it would lock startlingly fast, with 10-12 satellites within 5-10 seconds.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
I followed what you did and got the same results.

i would really like to return the external bluetooth gps receiver and use the one i paid for in the tf101.

I am at a loss as to what to try next. i have tried everything.

hopefully someone will stumble across this thread and post a solution.

Buehler?

Buehler?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sullivan1985:
Not much chatter on the CM threads about it either. I just set mine up in my car too and I really need that GPS too. Hopefully a fix can be found soon!

The only time I get any kind of location lock is when I'm connected to WiFi. Not good enough.

I'm a pain in the ass and I don't want to go back to stock because everything else in CM10 is working so nicely!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
try the external bluetooth gps receiver made by Dual. it works with my tf101 perfectly...locks in 1-2 seconds. USB powered for your car.

it's $100 but chances are you've spent quite a bit installing it to this point...what's another hunday?

with all the developers do when they write these roms, you'd think someone could solve this in 10minutes.

maybe someone will think of something or devote some time to solving.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rbird2:
Same problem.- wish there was a fix.

I wish there was a fix. Must stick to ARHD or Revolver or no gps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sidneyk:
The trick for me, whether on stock iCS or custom ICS, JB, has been to take a stock ROM, extract it to directory, blobunpack it, if necessary, and do the same with whatever custom ROM you want to use. You have to get to the ramdisk, where you can change the gps related settings in init.ventana.rc to match the same user and group and permissions as in the stock ROM. On JB, I compared to the TF300T JB firmware and made a merge of the settings there with the stock ICS settings. Also, use the /etc/gps.conf from stock ICS, where there is only 1 line setting an NTP server. Asus seems to have gotten the gps right on stock firmware. Works like a charm for me. After the changes, you just repack the kernel and ramdisk, blobpack it back to a blob and recompress it with the 2 original folders and reflash and you will have working gps, barring broken hardware, of course. If you are on a stock based ICS ROM, you should be able to flash one of appropriate stock ICS kernels I have posted elsewhere in the development forum and achieve the same thing, although you will still have to manually make /etc/gps.conf match the stock setting.

I did this process earlier with K900's Jelly Bean AOKP ROM and now gps is working like a charm. It worked somewhat before, just very slowly and couldn't hold a fix very well. The first time takes a few minutes, but after that, I see 8 to 10 sats and get a fix in seconds, sometimes fixed to 8 at a time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
SidneyK,

many thanks for your input!!! so there may be a chance?!

I'm a dedicated crackflasher, but have never compiled, blobunpacked, etc.

I know it's alot to ask, but could you possibly post a detailed process? what apps to use, exactly what steps, etc.

I've had many, many PM's from members who are suffering this.

No rush, we're patient for news like this.

tell me how to buy you a beer and it's done!

many thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sidneyk:
Well, I don't use PayPal, so don't worry about the beer. My wife had a PayPal account she hadn't used for years and it got hacked, so I don't trust them. When I get time, I'll try to put something together with the relevant links to threads with the supporting tools and a run through. It's kind of convoluted since everything isn't all in one place, but once you understand how the different pieces go together, then it makes sense. Mostly just remembering to do each part in the right order. Once you have the tools though, you'll see that you can make other changes like this or even further customize any ROM yourself the way you want it or to experiment with things.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chumboy:
Very much apprecieated.

just by your brief overview, it seemed logical. but i'm sure there are many nuances that go with it.

i'm also a cracktinkerer and can't wait to really see how rom's tick.

whenever you can post it, you'll gain even more fans.

thanks again.

So long story short, I think I bricked my girlfriend's Verizon Nexus when she asked me to flash JB onto it. It was working fine for a couple days and then all of a sudden, it won't turn on or even charge. Nothing works, it's just a black screen.

I was wondering if it's possible to flash something on my ATT S3 so that it can be used with her Verizon account and number. Essentially I just don't want to have to make her buy a new phone if I can give her my S3.

I have tried updating both from the official RUU from HTC both stall copying the update to the phone and after an hour or so, pulling the cable drops to the bootloader.

Err, not sure what I should be downgrading, as I'm already on 2.00.0002. Should I be going to lower than this still?
[HTC Desire S] Kavrocks:
You don't need to downgrade anything if you are using the latest released RUU.

Your bootloader does need to be locked which yours is not.

Let me clear what I've said: you can follow my guide (downgrading guide), but instead of using a downgrade RUU. Use the one that you prefer, may it be the latest RUU (upgrade your hboot, rom, etc), or old (downgrade your hboot, rom, etc). The guide should help you successfully RUU your phones.
