I thought I was the only one who shared this view seeing as last year I had the Xperia S & T, S3 & N2 and HOX and for starters I believe Iphone arena claimed the camera on the HOX and Xperia T were mediocre compared with S3 (N2 has same camera as S3 anyway). That was total B.S The camera on the T and HOX and even Xperia S were far better than the samsung cameras both outdoors and indoors and at night, especially indoors with lighting where the S3/N2 cameras became washed out and I tested the camera's vs eachother same angles etc and the samsung cameras were the worst.

I have also compared the camera on the lumia 920 vs s3/N2 in shops and the lumia 920 looks better.

Even looking at the images IPA have done with the Z the images look great.

Its hard to believe all those reviews... Who even knows whether they are giving us true/genuine pictures- its upto the eidtor/reviewer to give us genuine review. Not even their webmaster will know it whether they are genuine.. There were plenty of crtitcism from reader about engagdet's news articles of apple products once... Some times its very clear in the writing the bias towards non-apple news. Who knows they have been receiving goodies and bucks... I was in straight fire @ one ZNet writer after reading his apple article- he wrote like not even a hardcore apple fan wont writer against android phones- blindly.... They all in US... we donno the truth...

I donno much about phonearena... Also i'm not going to expect much from a tiny smartphone sensor whether its 13mp or 44mp... You have to understand the camera sensors first... As the sensor becomes small in size the light goes thru it also less , hence the picture qaulity... Still the best quality sensor gives best results... In smartphone case the photographer has to be very careful and still as much as the object to get nice photos... Image stabilization is there , but its nowhere near of DSLR or other proper cameras.... So each time you take a picture its different although same object , same angle or whatever you can imagine there.... Competition in smartphone arena is to make thinnest phone... as the phone goes thinner camera sensor goes smaller(thinner) too.. otherwise you will see a bump where camera sits (like in pureview).....

I've been trying for like the last 3 days to downgrade my T-Mobile P76910g to V11A so that I can get rid of bloatware and more importantly tether.

I've been following various guides but mostly the first post in here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2085344 - (I can't reply to this thread due to post count - sorry!)

I've tried time and time again and re-read over the info but no matter what I do I cannot get my phone recognised to do the actual flashing.

I'm facing a similar issue as http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37395294&postcount=105 but have not been able to resolve it as @UgduiBill did outlined here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37652072&postcount=125

When I'm in emergency mode device manager just flashes on and off with an unrecognized device. I've tried to manually install drivers from omap4boot for the unrecognized device with no luck (others have described being albe to do this). I was however able to install drivers for the OMAP4430 device that flashes up once when the phone first boots into emergency mode using the set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices*=1 technique.

When I try using Windows Enabler with KDZ_FW_UDP.exe and the phone in LG Software mode with USB debugging on KDZ_FW_UDP.exe just hangs.

I'm trying to do the flashing from a Macbook. I've tried Win 7 x86 and 64 with both VMWare Fusion and Virtual Box hypervisors both with the same issues. I've tried both USB ports on the Macbook.

I'm currently on holiday fron Australia in the United States (I bought the bloody phone so I wouldn't have to deal with crappy hotel Internet!) so do not have access to other hardware.

Drivers for all other USB modes install without issue and I can get photos / media on / off the device.

I really hope I'm just being stupid and missing something simple but any advice would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

Hopefully there is a way I can flash this phone that I haven't read about yet.

Thanks!

There is a note on my thread as follows...

(UNBRICKS ALL SOFT-BRICKED L9 (P760/765/P768/P769, EXCEPT P769V10G)

I hope you have read "EXCEPT P769V10G". And it seems you have messed up with your P769 with various methods at the same time. For example my thread does not suggest "Windows Enabler" at all. Many are flashing without any issue at many times.

You can still try restoring phone with official LG PC Suite and start phone in "SW Upgrade Mode" and select....

Device Menu >>> Emergency Firmware Recovery.

This will restore your device to factory status and you can stay with it happily everafter. Good Luck. :D
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] saintberry:
Thanks for getting back to me. I think I was misunderstood a bit. My phone is not bricked. I'm just trying to downgrade it so that I can tether.

Further Windows will not recognize the device in S/W Upgrade mode. So using LG Mobile Support Tool or LG PC Suite is not an option. I get a message "Disconnected. Please connect your phone." Even though it is connected, the screen is displaying "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." and device manager is flashing on an off with an "unrecognized device".
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
Something weird and new report. I still say LG makes unbrickable and always recoverable phones. Try installing drivers again and start afresh. Maybe 3.8.1 driver work for you.

+1 for BSPlayer. I tried MX, it was laggy. BS played the video smoothly. It's software decoding, though, so might take a significant chunk of battery.

EDIT: The video was Hi10p

Try disableing H/W+ in MX Player or check out Archos Video Player . I find it has much smoother playback than MX Player

Hmm.... That's a pretty hard question because kernels work differently for everyone's device.

My Settings

Lean Kernel 1.8

InteractiveX Governor

Row Scheduler

384MHz min

1620MHz max

384MHz Max when the screen is off

BUT I always had really good battery life on Faux too. You're just gonna have to try out the kernels and find which one is best for your phone :) don't forget about undervolting, that saves battery as well.

my pantech sky vega a760s got soft bricked

here's what happened:

-the phone won't open unless connected to pc

-when connected, it will only go to charging mode

-when i try to enter recovery mode, this shows up:

"your phone will restart due to error occurred while running application "

i cannot access recovery mode, the only thing i can access is the s/w upgrade mode, which i don't know how to use since i'm not korean

and i can't understand pantech's website.

also, when i enter in fastboot mode, all drivers are installed except for a driver named "Android" which is too general for me to manual search (inlcuded an image attachment of the failed driver)

How can I unbrick my phone?

[TUT]Recovery Mode Sky Vega Racer IM-A760S/A770K

To go into Soft/Ware download mode

1. Turn of phone

2. Simultaneously press: VOLUME UP + MENU + POWER

3. S/W Upgrading will now flash on the screen

To upgrade firmware back to version 1.47, you first need to have the UniUSBdriver installed on your computer.

4. After you have installed the driver, test your phone’s connection to the computer to initially determine all the required drivers were installed properly (this is while your phone is in S/W download mode). But before doing this, make sure that you have activated USB DEBUGGING on your phone.

Code:

>settings

>applications

>development

>usb debugging (must be checked)

5. Using Microsoft Internet Explorer v8 or v9, proceed to this page:

-------------->>> dmfile.isky.co.kr/NewSelfUpgrade/index.html?userid=&hpno

Notice when that page opens, it will prompt you to install ACTIVE X. Allow that installation to proceed.

6. After ACTIVE X has been installed, notice on the left side there is a something like loading prompt. Wait until it gets into blue bar with arrow up phrase noting USB with some Korean characters. Then boot to S/W mode your phone and plug it to your compurer then click the blue bar with arrow up.

7. Clicking the Blue bar with arrow up will turn it into a progressing bar. Notice the characters on top of the progress bar may change and at this point there is communication between the phone and the Sky download site. It may take a few minutes for the phone to establish a download connection between Sky’s services. Once a connection is established, the characters above the progress bar will turn into a progressing percentage bar starting from 1% and ending into 100%.

There will be two phases of the progressing percentage bar. The first phase is downloading the software while the second is loading the v1.47 software into the phone. After the 2nd phase, the phone will automatically reboot. The first phase will depend who slow or fast your internet connection is.

:fingers-crossed: Goodluck :fingers-crossed:

i need help. i just installed uniUSBdriver and it's successful. however, when i connect the phone there is one driver that is unable to install. the driver is just called "android" tried to look everywhere for a manual installer but the name of the driver is too vague to search. can you please help me with this one? it seems like the self upgrade site can't detect the phone without this driver installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby786pk:
Solution Soft brick, Android drivers in Fastboot

1. Connect your phone in Fastboot, and when your pc asks for 'Android' drivers, you need to install PDAnet, just google to download it.

2. then to Fastboot, and Install Recovery SWM v6 either normal or touch

3. Then go to Recovery and Install new stock/custom rom from SdCard.

thats all. :fingers-crossed:

Hello Hacker! :)

I am Zahid Gill and a software engineer by profession. Websites are my speciality. I love android and Korean phones. I have bricked/ unbricked fixed and patched many phone before (but only with XDA's help :p ) many

While flashing Sky vega 760s it stuck on some point. I waited long enough but thenI had to remove it and.... it was bricked.

I was still able to go to recovery, fastboot and bootloader. I tried wiping /system and others but cwm was not able to.

I tried flashing with offline flasher tool again but it went into red screen on bootloader, like here:

http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/p206x206/26340_10200120329905648_1168156367_n.jpg

NOW, offline flashing stuck on 60%. I am unable to boot the phone in any other mode. Even putting on charging takes phone to this red s/w mode.

Are you able to help me with this? I shall be very thankful.

PS: I had stock ROM 4.1.2 originally updated with no custom tickling.

[HTC Droid DNA] ICruentusI:
I've read around on the forums trying many different things, but my problem is still here. ADB finds my phone when I am in normal phone mode, but once I go into fastboot mode it shows an empty list of attached devices. I've tried multiple different drivers and I've yet to have it show up. I tried on three different computers so far to no avail.

My friend got it working on his laptop once and flashed a kenel onto the phone that broke my wifi.. and we can't get ADB to load again to flash back the original. Sigh.

Can someone please help me?

So far I've tried HTC's drivers and the Universal drivers found on the Nexus forums. My Device Manager says Android USB Devices -> HTC, Corporation when my phone is in fastboot mode. the adb command shows List of devices attached and a black line after that. I'd show images if XDA didn't block me.
[HTC Droid DNA] Nowak4G:
Adb doesnt work in fastboot. Use fastboot flash boot boot.img then flash the kernel modules in recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] ICruentusI:
Wow

Thank you very much. Complete noob at playing with Android devices :).
[HTC Droid DNA] Dave51495:
When you flash a kernel, you have to make sure to also flash the kernel modules in recovery. That's what caused the wifi to stop working. Same thing happened to me haha.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed what I have come across. I use esf file explorer. In the past with custom ROMs you could easily direct into system/apps and delete or add which app you choose. But now it does not seem possible. You try to delete and at first it will confirm but the app will remain. On second attempt you will be prompt that this command has failed. Installing a new system app after giving permissions will give the same result.

I'm wondering if the developers have add some security so to stop us users altering there ROMs to suite yourself.

To me this is not open source any more and being given root access will need renamed to root browser. This isn't cool and is an obvious step in the direction of closed source.

I am currently trying renovate final 1.1. And Cyanogenmod on my nexus 7. Hopefully its jusr esf file explorers capabilities have renounced. But i suspect not. Are others having the same problem with custom ROMs.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Did you enable root acces in the settings of es file Explorer and also enabled the system partition as read and write ?
[HTC One X] veroby:
To gain access to system/apps you must enable root. Not sure what you mean by sytem partition as read and write. If its mount file system as read and write. Yes.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
When you open es file Explorer and go to settings you enabled the root acces feature. But you you also need to enable the system partition to read and write

The picture is in Dutch .....But you need to enable the top 3 functions
