[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
What I generally tell people who ask me that very same question, is this, admittedly there are cheaper cameras that produce a better image quality, that's not to say the photos are rubbish, I just know that you could spend considerably less for the same or equal image quality.

You're paying a premium for what it is, as there is only one other device like it on the market right now (more are on the way) if you buy this camera, you're definitely buying it as a WANT, not a NEED and probably succumbing to the need to have the latest and greatest tech.

The functionality you get over a standard point-and-shoot (PaS) is definitely the key thing here, I've not plugged this thing in to a computer to transfer images one, it's all done over the air.

I will go out, take whatever photos and by the time I've got home, they are already waiting for me to view, whether that's on Google+ via it's auto upload feature, or the full size images that have been synced through to my machines via dropbox. The ability to instantly share those photos using any method available to the Android platform is another massive bonus, as well as all the editing apps available on the platform too.

The lens on the camera gives ample range and in some cases greater than other, normal, cameras out there and the pre defined "Smart Settings" work very well, as well as the manual settings which for me, is a very welcomed feature.

The remote viewfinder and the ability to control the camera from your phone is an excellent feature, doing group shots, with yourself in the group is now an easy thing to do, without the hassle of setting a timer and running back etc...

One problem I have found with the camera, which will get better with upcoming software updates I believe, is the occasional lag, not just in the camera app but the while device and it's no where near as quick to load from a cold boot.

Overall it's a great device, the build quality is good and all the features you get from having the Android OS bolted on is great. But only you can decide whether you think it's worth shelling out the money they're asking for it and if not now, maybe when the price drops you might. And if your sole requirement is to have the best image quality possible and nothing else, then there are other cameras in the same price bracket that yield better results.

I recently rooted then installed custom ROM, namely Jelly Bean 4.1.2 AOKP v9 Nightly build by Basawa.

After installation, I checked out Beats audio, and then sound stopped working, not even ringtone worked. Then I switched back to stock firmware, 2.3.6 Gingerbread, but the problem still persists. Help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deleted member 4398224:
Maybe you need a patch for it. Look for a patch on the site from where you downloaded ROM.

Oh no that's fine by me but I was just making sure I wasn't seeing things lol.

Hey guys I answered this question already.... Basically just downloaded older JB roms and extracted the tones from them and dropped them into system/media...etc.

Hi,

I would like to check if any developers on XDA are interested for hire by me to do some private android app development.

Is such a request appropriate on XDA and if so, which, section/thread is the correct place to post it?

Thanks!

Dextroz

There isnt really a section for this, we are a community for developers to share work, not a place to find jobs.

Saying that some people do post when they need work done, your best bet if you want to stay around here is contribute and show off your skills then someone would likely come to you
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiseteyo:
Hi everybody. I cannot understand why this community finally ended developing gb kernels. Yes I know, we like to have latest features, we like to see the number 4 in our build description, but let's be realistic... There's nothing compared to gb in our Arc / s... I have been thinking differently until a month, but now it is impossible to think in another way...

- I go to bed after 18h having 50% of battery...

- With some tweaks I have the same smoothness or MORE than in JB.

- Extreme good RAM usage. Amazing for games

- Gb is the most stable firmware for our device. No reboots, NEVER. a very few fc..

And now think... is there any fw that IN STOCK has all this features? The answer is no...

We have only two kerneles for GB

- DoomKernel v22

- Advanced Stock Kernel (also by DoomLord) v1

I request developers to continue working in kernel development in GB. People still use gb, and u can notice that by entring in the dev section. There still are gb roms and people use them!

Please, don't give up, continue it and we will get the best results in our phone.

Thanks :)

[Video Guide] Xperia U --- How to unlock and Root
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Brac20:
Hi, I've looked around but not been able to find anything that really answers this question.

I'm tempted to buy an Xperia Z when they come out in the UK. Unfortunately it will be a branded phone (there is no way around this unless I want to pay alot more money).

My question is for 3UK customers with an Xperia T. Are you able to unlock your bootloader using Sony's official method? I have read that simlocked branded phones can be nearly impossible to unlock on certain networks.

Thanks for any help.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Not true.

I have a branded vodafone T and I can unlock. I would suggest you speak to 3UK and ask them, and if they cant answer your question take your business elsewhere.

I made sure I could unlock with vodafone before renewing my contract with them.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] indigolemon:
I have an Xperia T on 3UK, and it is very much locked. However, I have debranded it using the stock UK ftf and flashtool - and I am really quite enjoying using the Sony provided ROM.

Not sure if that helps, I suppose it depends how much you would like to muck about with your phone after receiving it!

Graham
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] twilliams08:
Not sure with regard to your query about 3UK branded phones being bootloader locked however I understand that Carphone Warehouse phones are generally unlocked to any network and allow bootloader unlocking. If you were to get a phone from them on a 3UK contract then you should be ok - when I was looking for a T I popped in and queried this with them first and they suggested all of their phones are sold unlocked regardless of which network contract you choose. Phones 4 U have a similar approach but don`t offer deals on the 3 network.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] waynekirby:
Vodafone keep their phones SIM unlocked that's why you could unlock it Greg... But with carriers like 3UK they brand and SIM lock :( hence no CM goodness for me :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Sim unlock and bootloader unlock have nothing to do with each other. You can have a sim locked phone and unlock the bootloader, and you can have a sim free phone and not be able to unlock the bootloader..and every combination in between as they are independant of each other
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mpiekp:
But fastboot locking is, or at least was in 2011 line, and unlocked by way of certificate replacement which unlocked everything, but sold as SIM unlocking causing confusion.

I think even with unlocking code from network, fastboot will remain locked.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
If a carrier has made the bootloader unlockable then having the code from sony will not unlock it.

If the carier removes that restriction that allows the bootloader to be unlocked AND removes sim lock then tha is the carrier merging the two locks. They could just remove the bootloader restrictions AND keep sim lock if they want.

You can get an unlocked bootloader phone that is sim locked and vice versa. What carriers do with their locks is what they add to the phone after android and after Sony have done their thing.

They are still independant from each other unless the carrier has merged them, so my point stands, ask the carrier if you can unlock the bootloader. If the sales persone does not know what that means then go elsewhere. If they so not its not possibel because of sim lock they are lying as it is possible, its just maybe needs a bit of effort from them to be bothered. Then take your money elsewhere.

I have been into plenty of phone shops and they look confused when you ask them these questions, I just take my my business elsewhere and get what I want.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
Except that with any Sony Android phone I am aware of, if the device is sold SIMlocked, it is not whitelisted in the bootloader unlock database.

While the two are technically independent, it is pretty much unheard of to see a Sony device that is sold with SIMlock but has an unlockable bootloader, and similarly, you never see devices with a non-unlockable bootloader but no SIM lock.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I stand (semi) corrected ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Brac20:
Hmmm it's not looking good then.

Unfortunately my device will have to be 3 branded (for reasons I'm not going to go into here).

I think I will probably contact 3 and see if they can shed any light on what to expect.

It's not the end of the world I guess, I can still put Apex on there and make it look how I want if I don't like stock. Nice to have the option though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingstonxl:
It would be stupid if SIMLock would be on and bootloader lock off cause u could easily remove SIMLock.

So in this case bought are related but in opposite direction - not. Cause I got SMS Code to remove SIMLock but that didnt made my bootloader unlockable.

To bad Orange is the only operator in my country which locks bootloader in Sony devices. (wish I'd knew that before signing contract) :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Not sure about that. I have never heard any posts claiming that unlocking the bootloader makes it easy to simunlock. Could share with us how that is possible?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingstonxl:
Odp: Branded phone bootloader question

If u have unlocked bootloader u can use fastboot and also u r able to load any software u like. So its easy to remove simlock.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Ok, do you have step by step instructions for that because I am interested to know how to do it, because I have never seem it done.

Sent from my LT30p xda premium app.

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hydo1:
I can confirm that the 3UK Xperia T is bootloader locked (no fastboot). I rang up Three and they said that it is not possible to allow bootloader unlocking on it (gave me a bull**** excuse about warranties and such, and I explained how I am aware than bootloader unlocking voids the warranty and that is the same for all phones).

However I do suspect that it depends on who you speak to as to what answer you'll get.

Odp: Branded phone bootloader question

Same with Orange
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt2842:
I spoke to 3 today both customer service and in store technical adviser, they told me that they are unable to unlock the boot loader and I need to talk to Sony directly and ask them for instructions on how to unlock the boot loader.

I have sent them an e-mail and waiting for their response. Will update as soon as I have a news. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kingstonxl:
Odp: Branded phone bootloader question

Response from Sony service is u can't do it without loosing warranty :'(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Why dont you just follow the instructions from their website......?

If your device says Bootloader unlock allowed: No Then they will not do it,

If it says Bootloader unlock allowed: yes then they will just direct you to their website to follow the instructions to do it...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt2842:
Hey Greg,

Unfortunately bootloader unlock is not allowed on my device :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Then they will not do it. It will break their contract with carriers.

Sorry, but thats the truth, its not Sony's fault, its T-Mobile (even if their shop assistants say its not)

Well, then I have to come up with an excuse to persuade the girlfriend to buy another handset :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
You can get the phone unlocked which will allow you to unlock the bootloader did it with Sony phones before which where three branded then unlocked then you can unlock the bootloader jinx13 on here could do it and did a couple of mine
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
thats news to me, i am disputing, but great news ifs true cos you can normally get a phone sim unlocked form £5 on a market stall.....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
Like in I said done it before and been around here a while, get it unlocked and then you will be able to unlock the bootloader it doesn't need to be unbranded
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mpiekp:
That needs an open case and a known test point, the t has neither.

For 2011 range the certificate was replaced in engineer(test mode), requiring access to a certain server, the server is offline more than on these days and it's not doable yet on early 2012 phones, so not holding my breath.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
Your right, totally forgot it was test point method

Sorry
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
If chiefy is talking about test point then it wont work on the T, and as i tried to allude to, if it was as easy as going to a marlet stall and spending £5 then everyone would have alread done it.

Show me the prof of someone who has done it on the xperis T/TX/TL/V and I will admit defeat, untill then, I still think its not possible
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mpiekp:
I think a more realistic approach is via a bootstrap, even locked bl can flash kernel via recovery, it just won't boot.

Something like cwm/twrp or just a modded ramdisk script, which can interrupt the official kernel booting and then pass control to an alternative kernel, 2nd init style like on moto phones. Fotakernel partition could hold the 2nd kernel but would kill ota till a full ftf was flashed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:
My bad it wad test point method I forgot that bit sorry
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ellfuego:
Is this viable? Id be more than happy to help out with testing if someone is working on it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Random Canadian:
Me too, When I was thinking about getting the T I came here and saw all the roms and instructions to unlock the BL and didnt know that carrier brands were not unlockable.:eek:

a bootstrap method would be sweet.

Hi, I'm considering buying the Case Logic Slim 7" SST-307 case for the Nexus 7, however I'm not sure the tablet will fit into the case as according to official specifications it's a little bit longer then the inner dimmensions of the case...

this article describes it as one of the options and a good fit for the Nexus 7 though: goo.gl/w1RgO

so I'm wondering if anyone could confirm for me, that it will actually fit?

- (Less development)
