I can use my lumia 820 battery for 2 movies and 3 tv series. And it last long. so 1750 mAH is enough :)
[Nokia Lumia 820] danchar4:
We got the EZO battery and the cheap universal clamp charger from amazon as well. It works, but it doesn't last nearly as long as the OEM battery and the charger takes quite a long time to fully charge the battery. For $6 it ain't bad though.
[Nokia Lumia 820] darthcircuit:
I tried the ezo battery, and it actually lasted longer than the original battery, when it worked. I may have gotten a bad one though because it just started dumping its full charge all at once, and my phone would just die after about 3 or so hours.

I've been using camera ZOOM as my main camera app and I'm finding that almost all my pictures are blurry, even if the objects are stationary!

Has anyone else experienced this? For those people, have you found an app that fixes this problem?

This phone is godlike but the camera is sofa king horrible
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] batwingnz:
Experienced it only with camera zoom on an older phone where all other apps were fine.

That said, camera zoom works fine on my razr i, but I prefer stock.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] PantherVT:
I don't use Zoom but I noticed the same thing. I have only owned the phone for a a few days so it may be more user error than hardware issue.

ICS Auto Focus was jack up on mines.

It never really focused all the way, if it did, right before shutter press and taking picture it would refocus and take the blurry pic.

But after I installed JB on there that problem is gone. Though to take good images you still have to play with Apature and Exposure.

Also make sure u know what the lens can and cannot do. You are playing with only a cheapo Cam.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Dyelon:
Got any tips on jb? I'm not sure what you mean by apature and exposure
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Germanese:
-I normally try not to use Flash. (It gives the image a wierd Bam There is light somewhere look)

To compensate for that, Try to use Exposure + to make it brighter. The exposure also helps if its too bright to darken it like wearing sunglasses.

-Make sure the back lens area is clean (Oil streaks or finger prints or face fat, will result in blurry pics or Twilight Vampire like Glow to everything)

Use a dry soft cloth to clean or Soft toilet paper works great. Dont use ur Girlfriends or any type of Tissue with some sort lotion build into it.

Because that will have the same effect as oily finger prints.

-Focal Length, Figure it out (The closest distance ur cam can go to the object or subject before it goes schizophrenic trying to focus)

I found out that my Razr M Likes it about at the 4 inch mark, getting to about 3 inches it cant focus on the EyeDrop bottle.

Distance shouldn't be an issue just the object gets super small hahaha and i may not be able to focus on the desired object no more.

-Auto Focus and Manual Focus tracking I think thats they are called (Sometimes the Cam tries to focus on the wrong item like background instead forground)

The object blend in the back ground too much or cam wants to focus on something else,

tab the area where u want it to focus.It may take a few times before the cam surrenders and takes ur tab as the focus point.

-Shutter speed (Our cams aren't DSLR or High end Point and shoot)

Don't shake too much and try to stay steady to take the pic, After u hear the Click wait a bit before you move. Depending what you have running in the background it may take longer to save or process and the click SOUND maybe coming before the actual shutter CAPTURE so when moving, it may cause blurriness bc u moved while it took a pic, the digitial sound maybe off sync.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Your results may vary, I still have to completely fix my rear glass piece. (I have to fight some Hair fracture cracks causing, Light Prism effect ...)

Letting the cam do its thing, Blurry as hell and Very Bright.

Tapping the Screen a few times where i want it to focus. Notice sharpness changed.

Tapping screen and Lowering the Exposure to -1 to make the Black Pop better.

Hope this helps. Yes i know it is a bit of work. They could have put a smarter Processing system into the phone.

But I still love this phone, it takes decent pics, I just wish there is a way to completely unlock it for GSM use =)

BC verizon sucks LOL !!!

Here are the Image Data. Only 2 things have changed from 1st pic and 3rd. Focusing on the correct spot and my Exposure.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxesy:
HI guys,

My Xoom MZ604 is stuck on NvFlash mode. It used to be able to access the bootloader and connect to the computer with the RSD protocol, however I left it alone for a few weeks and now it won't even bootup to the Motorolla Logo.

I have since made a "factory" cable and upon connecting it detects as an APX device and can only connect to NVflash

Is there any way around that? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] el_muerte17:
I have the Telus SGH-T989. Rooted, latest CWM Recovery Touch installed. Was running Darkside Evolution 7 and the phone would not "properly" restart itself - would hang at black screen with buttons lit up until I pulled the battery. Booted fine when I did that, but I didn't want to deal with it every time so decided I would flash a new ROM. Well, never quite made it that far... CWM hangs on "formatting cache" when I select wipe data/factory reset. After sitting there for a while, it restarted and went into a boot loop. I can get it back into CWM, but it continues to hang if I try formatting the /cache or installing a new .zip. I cannot get the phone into download mode to use ODIN, it only goes to the battery charging display or CWM.

I tried searching a bit, but it seems the other threads are having the opposite problem - can get into download mode but not CWM.

Anything I can do to fix this from CWM, or will I have to build a cable "jig" to trick the phone into download mode?

Hello, i'm not a developer, just wanna to ask something that maybe useful for xperia 2011 (maybe :confused:). Sorry i posted here because xperia ray doesn't have a general section. :p

By the way, is it possible to port a kernel from other device that have same chip with xperia ray?

I saw at Galaxy W and S Plus forum that they currently build (or port?) kernel 3.x

Here is the development thread :

Galaxy W and S Plus have a same chip and spec like xperia 2011 series.

You can check it at here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

it's MSM 8255 too. And i found that Huawei Honor also has a MSM8255 chip like xperia 2011 who have an official ICS with Kernel 3.x.

So, is it possible to port? If it's hard to build kernel 3.x from scratch, then why not we port it? :) As far as i know, galaxy s 1 also have build their own 3.x.

I'm sorry if this considered as a noob post, i'm just trying to help the devs about porting kernel 3.x from other device, maybe we can port it to our device.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tinyXperia:
I've talked with multiple developers. Summarizing:

It is possible, but it would take several months, during which the number of users still using this phone maybe only half of that now. It's simply not worth to spend the time on. 2.x kernel with tweaks isn't much worse than 3.x kernel.

[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
If you were on .906 my 1click .exe will sbf you

If you were on .890 my 1 click will still sbf you but you will get stuck at bootlogo

But don't worry its an easy fix

I included a link to the official .906 ota in my thread

All you have to do is download it to your computer

Use your computer to move the downloaded file to your external sdcard

Boot your phone into stock recovery and install the update

Then you will be good to go and on the official .96 ota

There are instructions in my thread as well

Hope this all works out for ya as I'm sure it will! :)

Hi all,

I know this is probably a very noob-ish question, but can someone tell me exactly what sleep2wake (S2W) is and what the benefits of it are? I've seen several references to it on the forums and I've seen a few posts mentioning that it can have a negative effect on battery life, but I haven't come across any mention of it's real purpose.

Thanks :)
[HTC Incredible S] 2uk3y:
actually s2w mean swipe to wake. search in this forum about kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] Alasdairyee:
It's a function from a custom kernel that allows you to swipe your capacitive buttons to wake or lock your phone. Basically functions like your power button.
[HTC Incredible S] bantamdraper:
Ahh, I got it now. Thanks to you both for the info. I was a little confused. l0st.prophet referred to it as sleep2wake in this post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30901781&postcount=351 . I guess he meant swipe2wake?

Anyhoo, doesn't sound like something I'd really need anyway, especially if it affects battery life noticeably.

Thanks again for the info :)
[HTC Incredible S] Evilus:
Yes it's Swipe2wake, can also swipe to sleep :P. Anyway yes I would disable it if you use redux kernel as it's enabled by default, the battery drain is noticable.

HTC One X PLUS was had poor wifi reception in my home. Wifi Analyzer shows 20 dBm signal drop when you hold phone in your palm. Not with S3. All good now. But miss Sense + Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I know Jelly Bean stock update is probably happening within the next days/weeks for S3?? I'm a Power User but got everything on the HTC with JB to work the way I wanted using Widget Locker and Nova Launcher. HTC stock keyboard much better so Swiftkey 3 wasn't even necessary. Definitely need Swiftkey 3 on this 4.0 Touchwiz phone.

I spent hours and hours learning Android and setting up the HTC. Don't want to spend all weekend again. But also would like to be on 4.1.x. I was an iPhone Jailbreaker so I'm not afraid of rooting and/or custom ROM but I will be very frustrated with bugs or losing useful features just to get a custom ROM. I'm sure this has been asked 100 times but I think I've explained my usage goals enough to get a decent recommendation? I think a main goal if I do go custom ROM is I want the one that is the most established meaning, most likely to still be around as new devices are introduced 1, 2, 3 years from now. I'd prefer to not keep having to learn the quirks of a different ROM, but I'm also not married to Samsung Touchwiz.

a) Stick with ICS and wait for official JB update and just live with it?

b) Install JB 4.1.2 Custom ROM that is closest to stock? Which one?

c) Wait for stable custom ROM that is based on JB 4.2?

If (b) can someone post a link to the "Custom ROM for S3 Newbie Guide" ?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
My advice would be to test out some of the popular ROMs around here, such as: CM10, AOKP, AOCP, etc. There are also ROMs based on TouchWiz with rooted features that have been debloated.

I personally have been using Task650 AOKP for a while now. It offers great performance, battery life, customization, and stability. He offers great support and updates.

Ultimately only you can decide which is right for you as they're all slightly different and we all have different needs from our devices.

Read around the development sections and you'll find something to suit your needs in no time. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1869300&highlight=grey+7

And although rooting seems like no big deal, it seems there really isn't as far as I can tell a JB ROM that doesn't have at least some issues or lacks some Touchwiz features that may be missed?

I'm leaning toward (a) Wait for official 4.1 update. Should be any day now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
Is there a stable Touchwiz based ROM, debloated, based on JB 4.1 I should consider? I really am not interested in "custom" I'm just interested in as close to stock Touchwiz ROM but just JB instead of ICS. And something that when Official OTA update is out, I can switch to that if desired.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
Head over the development section, not original just development and check out the thread started by Drewgaren. I haven't personally tried it as I prefer AOKP, but I've heard it's a nearly perfectly working JB TouchWiz based ROM.
