Cool, G2 lens glass is to bad to easy scratch, my G2 glass got many scratch too and photo quality very bad... so said~

I'll try it ... , but looking forward you outside photo after polishing.

Thanks!

Edit after try.

It works! and I found the method is to remove the bad coating due to the edge remaining some coating I cannot polish it...

Anyway...the photo get sharp.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mazdarati2:

[G2 and Desire Z General] ilbeppez:
I will try too,

hope works

edit !!! :D

it worked for me!
[G2 and Desire Z General] trundlenut:
My phone appears to have a fingerprint on the inside of the inside of the cover, I only noticed it after the phone went back to HTC for a warranty repair. I may double check that it isn't on the outside.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bendodge:
Unfortunately, the sky was a bit overcast. (The old photos were taking in brilliant sunlight.) Grr...XDA won't let me post links to photos. The photo names indicate whether they were before or after.

I think I may need to polish the bottom of the lens more. There seems to be some odd flaring down there.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilbeppez:
really good photos,

which rom are you using?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zorro_GPPL:
Interesting tutorial - I will try it.

CyanogenMod 7; whatever the current stable release happened to be at the time. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Emptydroid:
This worked very good, i can totally see the difference now :) Thanks for the guide :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] agazza:
For the one's without warranty, it's just 3 torx screws to take of back and pop the glas out. Then you can clean out dust to.

I use this and those iphone lenses so i have AR anyway

Looks like a college in a small town in the Midwest, just like where I worked in MN... Am I close?

Great, guide, too, with I'll give it a try.

Works great, thanks for the advice!
[G2 and Desire Z General] XsynthZ:
Thanks for the tutorial! Definitely will try!
[G2 and Desire Z General] geojoking:
OMG! I was beginning to think that my camera was damaged or something! Followed your guide and realized that the lens was the culprit this whole time!

Thanks a lot!!!

Just tried this and Wow!

Big difference to the picture quality.

Thank you.

*The Sale is Over... Back to Regular Price*

Since SGN owners get the most out of using Sketchbook Pro, I thought I'd post here.

Sketchbook Pro is on sale for $0.25 for a limited time.

Just in case, here's the page that shows all the discounted games/apps for today: Click me

does Horn work for Galaxy Note 10.1 or is it only a Tegra game?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ugotproblemz:
nice! for some odd reason it doesnt show up on i tried thru play store...maybe cuz im using my sg2
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hairdewx:
I bought Horn a while ago and the game wouldn't load up on my Note 10.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jedah:
I've been wondering whether I should try SkPro since I already have SKMobile. But, for 25c, kind of a no-brainer! Thanks for the heads up!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] chivazregal:

I think it doesn't work for Galaxy Note 10.1 :(

Sketchbook Pro

Well, it's too bad I bought it yesterday for $5... Oh well, they make a good app and I am happy to support good developers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
ARGH. I paid full price for this just a week or so ago..

Oh well, it's not exactly *expensive* even at full price. :)

I just wish they'd add a lasso feature.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] donec:
I agree the lasso feature would be nice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
Folks, is there some functionality in Sketchbook pro that's not available on Photoshop touch preinstalled on Note 10.1?

I am not a pro, as you can figure out on sketching... :laugh: but i was able to do sketch usinf PS touch.

Appreciate quick response, so that I can grab the sketchbook pro on a 25 cent sale, in case it's much superior to PS touch as per sketching experts here.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ron2k_1:
For 25c, hell yeah! What are you waiting for? PS Touch and SBP are almost two different apps. PS Touch sucks (really sucks) for sketching IMO. SBP, on the other hand has all the tools you need to sketch and even present full-fledged completed drawings if you take your time. The only gripes I have on SBP are the following:

1. Only 6 layers

2. No layer transformation on the go. No group transformation available either.

3. No palm rejection, but with WACOM it's not a big deal.

4. No Custom Pens, but there is a crap load of them already included so you can survive

5. No Portrait mode, the GUI is always on landscape mode

6. No custom canvas size; 1280 x 800 is the best you (and only size) you can work with.

But as I said, it's only a quarter. So, put the beggar bum down the street on hold today and buy the app before it's too late. You should only have a few more hrs of sale available on this app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
I bought it. :good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ron2k_1:
:good: Let us know what you think. Maybe those of us that use the app every now and again critique it to finely for all it provides...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] aletheus:
Can anyone tell me how to get pressure sensitivity going in SBM? I cant for the life of me figure it out...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ron2k_1:
I haven't used the mobile version. But I assume that it work similarly to the Pro version where it is available by default without requiring any user toggling. Bear in mind, however, that not all brushes have pressure sensitivity; the air brush and pencil by default will react to pressure. The other brushes need alteration to radius and opacity max/min values to mimic pressure.

Hope that helps
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] twiggums:
Not sure if it's supported on SBM, I loaded it up on my note and didn't notice it working, didn't fiddle worth it much though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jonphinguyen7:
Pressure sensitivity is off by default. You must enable it in the settings menu of the app. :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] aletheus:
I only have 4 settings in the settings menu i thought.... mind taking a screen shot for those with learning disabilities and high functioning autism?

---EDIT--- i FINALLY found it. Its not in preferences, its an icon below the brush output display in the brush options menu. Directly under brush output display furthest to the right, left of the color wheel. Its a settings type icon, three lines with sliders. Select that and you csn adjust the max-min values for LOTS of things! Cheers and let the fun begin!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deformat:
I'm interested in 2 things with regards to Arc S:

1. Battery Life - is it good?

2. Is there any STABLE JB ROM?

3. Is there at least a Xperia S skin port for ICS?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammiSaysHello:
1. Battery could be better. With heavy use, lasts about 4 to 5 hours.

2. Don't know :3

3. Yes
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyXperia:
2. Is there any STABLE JB ROM?

Yes, CM10 and MIUI Jelly Bean are suiteable for daily use (couple of small bugs)​

3. Is there at least a Xperia S skin port for ICS?

Maybe 3 ROMs or more​
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vuhungkt881:
1. about one day with me.

2. I don't know.

3. Yes.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justkiddinghere:
1 one day

2 yes

3 yes
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zetok:
After trying a lot of ICS roms and also de JB ones, I went back to GB. For Arc S is the best option because ICS and JB slow down a lot the device.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Soi imagine a majority of us are on Verizon so anyone now if we buy a phone on our own can we keep unlimited data even if we go to 4g?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Addiso:
I believe you gotta pay full retail price I'm not sure?

Sent from my Goonified Paranoid Jelly Droid Incredible 2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
Goon is right, you will have to pay full retail for the phone if you don't want to renew your contract. Contract renewal = limited data.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Gr8Jeepin:
Also if you have another account with an upgrade you could use that and switch phones. Or acquire the phone via 3rd party and activate it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
So you can go from unlimited 3 g to 4 g right ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonw757:
Yes, you can but only if you buy a phone off contract. Meaning you cant buy a new phone from Verizon for $200 and stay on unlimited data. You would either have to buy a new phone retail ($700) or buy a used LTE phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andysom25:
Can get cheaper on Craigslist and eBay !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] belchie:
I've got myself out of many semi-brick situations but this time it's different. The phone is totally dead. No lights, a black screen with nothing displayed and the battery doesn't appear to be taking a charge. I'd given the phone to my son and now he's understandably upset that I've killed it for him. :o It happened while flashing with Odin.... It's as dead as a dodo and I assume its an ultimate brick. Is there any recovery when they're this bricked?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Sad but you must change motherboard.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] belchie:
Oh no... was hoping it wouldn't be that bad. But thanks for your quick reply. At least I know what I need to do now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
You can try Unbrickable mode My Android Solutions
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ryu-x:
I had this once on my i9000 a while ago. I thought i totally smashed it, but after having the battery/sim removed for several hours i was able to get back into download mode (Vol Down/Home/Power Button). I reflashed a GB Firmware (3 file) and it worked again.

I cannot post outside links yet but look on google and maybe build a Jig (Search for "Samsung Galaxy S JIG"

They are easy to build, maybe its worth a try...

good luck my friend
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yazeldinho:
Probably been answered before, but I can't find it.

I have Sprint and the TEP. I'm currently running CM10.

My camera lens was dented, so I need to take it in for repair. Do I need to revert to stock and relock bootloader?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mijikayo:
Hola, noob here with a problem.

My rogers captivate glide was behaving perfectly fine one night when I decided to download some large files over wifi. It was also plugged in for charging and I was using some app (forgot the name) to prevent my screen from turning off so I won't lose my wifi connection. I left it like that and went to sleep. Upon waking up, my phone was hotttt , the screen still on but it has faded into a greenish color with scan lines. It was unresponsive and I had to pull the battery. Ever since then, my phone would last no more than a few minutes before freezing and fading into scan lines. I thought it was a battery issue, so I got new batteries but that didn't help one bit. I even flashed the kernel and still no help. I did resets, recovery, wiped caches, took out sd card and sims, stock builts. Nothing worked. I can't connect the phone to the computer or wall charger either. The screen would instantly freeze and fades out upon plugging in the micro usb cord.

Have anyone had similar problems? Did I fried the soc? I don't think it's a problem with the screen since it was perfectly responsive the few minutes it worked. This noob needs helppp.

I've posted a video on youtube but I couldn't link to it, but if you search "captivate glide problem" you'll see a video showing the freezing problem I have. I'm from the US also, so I don't know if I could get samsung to fix it through warranty since the phone is Canadian.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dude52:
Well I downloaded Modern Combat 3 and that was like about 1Gb and the screen turn off because I didn't touch it while it downloaded, and wifi kept going so I'm not sure why it didn't stay on for you
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ericpeacock79:
Idk about the phone so much , but i am computer technician and it sounds like you overheated it, what we might call "burned it up".

The screen symptoms you have described are a dead giveaway, especially the lines

If this was a laptop, I would be sending it off for a reflow .

Typically, the circuit board gets so hot, the solder on the ships melts enough for a tiny bit of separation. This requires a "reflow ", where specialized equipment is used to repair the solder connections.

First, you should to a factory reset , then try to do a warranty claim. (unless u have insurance from your cellular provider, then u might check with that)

*edit, sorry, I missed the warranty part the first time I read ur post*

The next option would be to check with the guys at www.mylaptopisbroke.com

Email them, ask if they concur with my diagnosis and if they can help.

I have been dealing with them for about two years and always been highly satisfied. (They are in NY, I am in TN. I have sent literally dozens of devices to them)

If none of those 3 options work out for you, start looking for a new phone.

Sorry :-/
[Samsung Captivate Glide] oldnoob:
Sorry, but I agree with the previous poster, sounds like a hardware issue. Start the warranty process, can't know if it's gonna work til you try it.

Not to try to close the barn door after the horses have bolted, but in case you get into a similar situation with your new phone, there's an easier and safer way. When you're in the WiFi screen hit the menu button and under advanced settings there is the option to keep WiFi on during sleep. Also, as you have found out, be careful with any apps that directly control the hardware.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkendvoid88:
Had a very similar scenario as the OP described. Went to bed with it plugged in and streaming DI FM in high quality, woke up in the middle of the night by burning myself on the metal back plate. Unplugged it and pulled the battery, when I woke up in the morning after a rather worrisome night sleep I discovered my WIFI would not work unless I was within a foot of the router otherwise it wouldn't get any signal. I assumed the devices internals were damaged and that is what caused the problem, glad to know someone else aside from me has had a similar issue. Best bet would be trying to get a replacement through the warranty unless you have some type of protection plan through your carrier.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mijikayo:
I see, thanks guys for the inputs. I had a feeling it's a goner. I can't do the warranty since it's rogers and I'm from the U.S.; bought it off Newegg unlocked without a warranty. So I guess I'm screwed. :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] LiquidXed:
Had the same thing happened to me. Had to send it to sammy to get fixed the had to replace the whole board
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mijikayo:
I've contacted mylaptopisbroke and they told me that phone repairs have been discontinued until midwinter 2013.

Is there anywhere I could buy a new soc??
[Samsung Captivate Glide] oldnoob:
Try mobiletechvideos.com or phonedoctors.com
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
I've heard of reflowing oneself by putting it in the oven at 550 degrees for 10 minutes or something. FWIW.

Not sure I'd want to do it myself, not having better information, but perhaps there's something out there some googling will reveal.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mijikayo:
I've look at the sites, no captivate glide stuff. Guess captivate glide is not that popular a model. I've read about reflowing, but too chicken to try. I did took took the phone apart but saw that the LED is on the board itself and couldn't be detached; it's housed in some soft rubber feely box. I had a feeling it would melt in the oven.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbinthreadbare:
in the options you can change it to keep wifi on all the time.. i keep mine on all day.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mijikayo:
Yeah... I know that now... too late though.. ahah
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
What have you done with this?

Have you turned it on recently and found it still works?

I have a similar problem and other threads have suggested it's a software problem that might be fixed by installing a new ROM via odin

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
So, I just decided to install the tablet refined XDA Premium HD app and really all I can say is WOW, this app looks amazing and works great on the Gnex. It's like night and day using this as opposed to the regular XDA App or even the regular XDA Premium App.

Also, it's on sale for only 99cents right now on the Play Store.

Definitely recommend it to those of you that get your fix of XDA from your device more than on your PC most of the time.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/....xdapad.activity&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davec1234:
I'll wait for a few more positive comments. App notoriously sucks from xda. Bought premium in the past, as you can see I don't use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
I bought it a while ago for my N7. It force closes a lot, like every time you leave the app for a second and return. I wouldn't recommend it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
Fair enough, I just wanted to through it out there for people especially since it's only a buck for a limited time. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
I think it may have updated since then because I have been using it constantly for over one solid day with not a single hiccup in how it runs let alone a force close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davec1234:
Sounds about right. Thanks for the heads up. I took one for the team, not taking 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remoteconcern:
I use it too. Much better than the premium, but still very closes more than I'd like. And downloading attachments is hit and miss, mostly miss. Still, it's better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
already using it from lots of time.....one simply word-the best!-:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braneless:
I also made the mistake of purchasing the premium app. It was so bad that I broke down and bought Tapatalk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
I've heard nothing but bad things about the premium app. The Premium HD as I've said is amazing though. Still, going on 2 days and not a single force close issue whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
It is pretty frustrating.

Well I just re downloaded the app and... (see image)

Judging from reviews on the play store for both the N7 and Galaxy Nexus the app is broken and force closes more than occasionally. It's usable but if you're bugged by force closes I'd recommend Tapatalk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
I think these issues are device and rom specific, possibly even kernel specific depending on gov and clock settings. I have yet to encounter that popup while using XDA HD app in almost 2 days. I'm at my PC right now but for the majority of the weekend I have been only using my phone to view XDA and everything has worked perfectly smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eris _2.1_2010:
I'm using the xda premium app and it works fine. I'm presuming it's for tablets only?

It's powered by ANDROID 4.1..1 JellyBean AOKP ran by Devil Kernel 1.6.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
The XDA Premium HD app is optimized for Tablets but it looks and works amazing on the Gnex using Paranoidandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndIKnow:
I'm running 100% stock, odexed and rooted. So I doubt it is device, ROM or kernel specific. Try opening a forum then exiting the app for a minute then open the app and press the back softkey. Alternatively try the xda button at the top right instead of the back softkey.

Please let me know if you get a FC so I can try figure out what I'm doing wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SwiftLegend:
Sounds cool, but I've already bought the XDA Premium app, and I can't be bothered to buy the HD one. The regular one works fine, I can't see how different HD can make text..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
I am seriously in no way trying to mess with you but I really cannot recreate your force close issue. I've tried.
