[Nokia Lumia 920] RekAdy:
I've got my Lumia 920 a few days ago and after bragging about how awesome the Pureview camera is to one of my iFriends he totally smoked me with his iPhone 5. In low light he got shots as good as my Nokia did, and in situations when the light was coming from the windows he wiped the floor with me because he could choose where to focus the image thus making an object on the wall more clear while reducing the light from the window. I can't do this with the 920. If there is a window with light coming from it, the entire wall is almost black. I have also noticed that photos taken with the 920 have a 3552x2000 resolution, while photos taken with my old Lumia 800 have a resolution of 3624x2448. Why so?

My questions are:

Why is the resolution lower than the Lumia 800?

Why are there fewer options in the camera setting than on WP 7.5/7.8?

Why isn't the Pureview smoking the iPhone? They don't even try to advertise this kind of things and still...

Why are photos soft?? Even after the update, photos are still coming out softer than how they look on the screen between focus and shoot.

When I got the 920 I really wished that this Pureview brand they are selling is something groundbreaking, but why in the world does the iPhone 5 take same or even better photos?

Tomorrow I'm returning the device to get a new one because of a problem with the floating lens:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2065019

I hope that the new phone they will give me will be better...

I need to try everything with my Black screen of death in order to repair it

So, I have seen this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923943

but in order to follow it I need to unlock bootloader, and with the BSOD I cant see anything even in fastboot mode, so how can I unlock it?

Please help :S!!
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Why don't you just take the warranty repair while you still can?

[HTC One X] zuadao:
so you cant even go into bootloader?
[HTC One X] kskendsup:
Download and run this tool...that can get your phone into bootloader mode and most of the things are auto so it can help but it ll involve some guessing work as well i suppose..!!

all the best..!! :good:
[HTC One X] sdavidone:
I cant sent to warranty because I open it to change the battery 2 month ago, everything works fine but now...

OK, I have unlocked already the bootloader thanks kskendsup :), but now, I cant flash a ROM because it isnt in the list of adb devices, because I cant enable (turn on) the USB Debuggin option as I cant see anything :S
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The most dumbest thing ever, you should have send it for warranty .....like they know what happend with the battery, everything was 100% stock and they had to give warranty !!! My humble opinion ......

You are screwed ! :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] kskendsup:
How about connecting the HOX to a tv through a mhl cable...!! that will sort things for you...atleast make things easy as you can see something...!!

Hope it helps..!

you are right, I have ordered one at amazon, so cross fingers :)

[HTC Droid DNA] Djmk4:
Hey Guys just wondering if in the near future will be a way to change the white color of capacitive buttons to red...my sensation xe and rezound is very nice with red capacitive buttons!i found some guides on youtube with older htc devices....but don't know how it works on dna...also there is an easy way without messing with led and wires....if you put fade resistant red tape you can have them...anyone who feels like droid dna should have red capacitive buttons?
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
That would be a cool mod.
[HTC Droid DNA] slvrdrgn123:
I would like that just because the white is really annoying on the eyes at night.
[HTC Droid DNA] Despyse:
I remember reading that the guy that took his apart said the LEDs are easy to remove. I personally would just put the multicolored ones in, and then change it depending on mood with an app.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLKirk:
Doesn't the phones software have to support multicolor or something
[HTC Droid DNA] Jarocks:
There are already kernel modules to handle multicolor led lights baked into almost all existing android kernels, extending this support to the captive led would be relatively straightforward. Unfortunately the DNA's mainboard has no support for such a mod.

Surface mount soldering is anything but easy. Unless you have a high end soldering iron with a super fine tip and hands of a brain surgeon, I'd advise against it.

Unless you want a nice paperweight :D

---------- Post added at 07:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------

There is an app that was written for the HTC One X+ which allows for dimming of the captive button LEDs

Origional Thread | Play Store

It only allows for toggling the LED on the DNA. I would assume our devices would support dimming but this has yet to be confirmed.

Kind of off topic, but I think it's something that might be worth looking into.
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
You could get a slim piece of red translucent gel insert (like the stuff they use for stage lights) and put it right over the bottom section where the buttons are. Then put a screen protector on.

[HTC Droid DNA] slvrdrgn123:
That's great, thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
That would be a good idea to create a screen protector with red tint (or whatever color) at the bottom.
[HTC Droid DNA] heiterkeit:
^ That would be a good idea

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Hi just got my new at&t galaxy note 2 three days ago on 2nd day I rooted it and restore all my apps via tibu this phone is blazing fast, do u still recommend flashing a new rom on this beast? I came from Samsung Infuse 4g and been using cm10 but some features are not working properly like video camera. If I flashed a rom on my note 2 i wanted everything working so is it worth flashing new rom? And lastly I also uninstalled all at&t boatloaders.

Jedi ROM, no question! Super fast. Hate in stock ROM or any other ROM other then Jedi, when u press the home button, action is not instant. Same with swiping pages. With Jedi, its instantly. Well, everybody has their favorite ROM. U need to try and see which one is best for u. But check Jedi ROM. U might not flash any other.

I should have posted this somewhere else. Sorry :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] robjbw:
Instead of rooting. If u were in just stopping the bloat ware, You should have disabled the bloatware within the application manager. Click an application within the application manager and choose "disable". That application would be disabled and hidden from your apps drawer. Hope this helps a bit.

Try disabling usb debugging. On my Blade I have to do that if I want to mount it as usb storage.

My S and tablets doesnt need that though, but might be worth a shot.
[HTC One S] Halfofzero:
Hmm interesting my phone turns usb debugging automaticaly on when i connect my device, tried hard reset, problem still remains
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
I see. I read about someone else having the same issue on JB. I guess its a bug or something.

I guess you either have to flash a custom rom or wait for an official update.

In the mean time, you could always use quick adb pusher. Much better than mounted usb storage ;) (requires a working adb connection, which you should have if you have installed htc sync)

i tried /system/media/audio/ui , listened every file in that folder , i find one "TW_Touch.ogg" , soulds very much alike , but after replacement, still same sound in the dial panel (what i am talking about is dial tone, as you can hear clearly different between AOKP ROM and Stock ROM).

then i unzip the "secphone.apk" files, not in there ...

where else could it be ?

and there is another thing strange , i couldn't find dial tone in AOKP ROM as well ... both "phone.apk" and "/system/media/audio/ui"

just strange ...

ok , what i am trying to do it replace Stock ROM's dial tone with AOKP ROM's dial tone ... mission impossible ? think not , but i just don't have any more idea ...

little help please ...

I bought mine off craigslist

I also bought mine off craigslist, 2 actually, the first one was factory sealed unopened. att version, paid 480 dollars.. called att and got a unlock code for free.., the second one was used but in great shape, t-mobile brand had box and all accessories for 500. no unlocking as I use t-mobile.

but be leary as some posted on there wanting to meet at an atm at night, that was awfully weird, so didn't follow through.. always meet where you have people, public place restaurant etc.. also be leary of the china copies that will look like the real thing study pics or go to your retailer and look under the batt at the sticker etc.. always test...

I bought a videotron (canadian t889v) one off craigslist also. Picked it up at his house. That way I can always hunt him down. Guy sold it to me for 350 $. Thought for sure he screwed up and it was going to be a note 1 but sure enough note 2 and working perfect.

PS. Cant you just unlock it yourself? There was some code you dial and are able to unlock it. Simple and free. Worked for mine.

Link for unlock. Only worked for me on stock.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] luguxd:
hello, i just bought a few days ago a chinesse tablet, EQQUS m701C.

I find myself having 2 problems with it:

1) My computer doesnt recognizes it, it stays as a "unkown device" and I cant enter the storage, so I wont be able to root or flash . Tried to find its drivers but I dont find them, what could I do?

2) I was trying to root with z4root and the program froze, the tablet reseted and when I turned it on all my apps and data dissappeared. My internal storage dissappeared and show as if it had 0.00 mb.

Searching on the internet I found that it was because of "busybox", that dismounts my internal storage. Looks like when I tried to root I got a corrupted busybox. So how do I fix this? Deleting busybox? For that I need to be root and as I said in 1) I cant root it

Thanks for all

my kindle fire hd is not rooted.

i installed chrome on kindle fire hd and having this issue when trying to sign in.. i get "Sync: Android system sync disabled. Please re-enable and try again." message.

google apps such as google talk and youtube are working fine on my kindle fire hd.. which would mean that the sign-in is working for those apps.. chrome is having a problem. does the kindle fire hd have to be rooted for chrome to work? i tried this with chrome version 18. i also tried with chrome version 25 but sites like yahoo.com were not rendering on that version.. also syncing wasn't working (same error message).

appreciate your feedback. thanks.

Ice Cream Sandwich?

It's my understanding, based on a review at CNet, that this version requires ICS. Since I have been unable to root my Kindle, I need the earlier version. I had it before I reset to factory but the dropbox link at the top of this thread is no longer valid. Could you re-post it please?

This latest version seems to work for me except I can't get to a login screen and synchronicity is one of the main reasons I love Chrome.

When i'm plugging it into the wall it doesnt even charge or accept it (by accepting it the dock doesnt even have the charge light). Im assuming its the cord thats the problem... hopefully it is and its a simple fix.

The cord is not bent or mis used... Is there a discount store on the net i can order another cord or should try to go through asus?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
So every since the JB roms, my phone gets the sleed of death 1-3x a day. Sometimes, it will be immediately after a text message, i will see the indicator blinking,,but as soon as i hit the power button...NOTHING. It will then at that point have gone into the 'SOD'. There are other times where nothing is going on,,,and it still will randomly go into the SOD. THe only common thing is going into sleep mode cuz i havent touched it for a while.

I have been getting this on FK23,FL04, and FL16. ALL of these roms have been the stock leaks/stock recovery. Only thing modified has been addition of root/Superuser......

Could it be the phone itself??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrDowntown12:
I thought I was having this problem as well. Random turnoff and won't turn back on without a batt pull.

Yeah I had the same issue on the stock leaks. I am now on the goodness ROM (for about a week) and has not done the SOD since.

I was using the Odin one clicks for FK and FL builds. just followed the OP for goodness installation. So in my case, it seems like the installation method was the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evanlee81:
I had the same problems with all the recent builds. It turns out that it was my battery that was causing it. Went to the Sprint Store and got a new free battery which is free if you have insurance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cmags:
I've noticed SOD (and only just heard this term from a friend yesterday) on Paranoid Android 2.54 about once every day to 3 days. Just switched to Codename Android to see if that helps (and to try something new ;) )

BTW, instead of a battery pull, I was always able to recover by holding the power button for about 8 seconds which will force a power down, another 2 seconds and it reboots. Very useful if you have a substantial case on the phone and don't want to remove it to pull the battery.
