[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 Questions & Answers] kayleros:
Hi everybody

Just bought this and I m quite happy with it. Only thing I noticed so far, I don't get any blink notifications (i.e. like when you have a missed call, a newly received SMS etc).

Most android devices I ve come across offer that functionality....

I don't care about whether its red, blue, white or pink - but does this XCover 2 have a built-in LED notification at all? Or is it that mine is defective? Or do I need to enable it via the OS somehow? (I haven't installed any 3rd party apps for hadling LED notifications - nor I m interested in doing so...)

Anybody owning this phone - please share your thoughts... :rolleyes:

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 Questions & Answers] kayleros:
Never mind, actually Samsung got back to me first.

They told me there is no LED notification on 7710 XCover. Pitty. It was cool, and useful feature :(
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 Questions & Answers] Centurionmark:
A bit annoying alright. It does vibrate really strong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 Questions & Answers] vastus:
yeah, I noticed same thing myself. It really gives you a chills for the very 1st time when it happens :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofskywalker3:
I'm using Timurs USB Rom for a fixed install in my car, and I'm having issues with pandora. I have audio out going through the headphone port, and anytime something other than pandora makes a sound, it skips to the next song. This includes navigation voice prompts, notifications like email, or trying to do a google voice search. I can't duplicate this issue on my portable nexus 7 running CM10. I'm wondering if there's a setting in USB Rom I need to change to fix this, or if I have to have a USB DAC to use USB Rom.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia ZL] bothfly:
So I took some test shots between the ZL and my iPhone 5, wow is all I can say.

And NOT a good wow either.

The ZL is pretty bad compared to the iP5.

The pic's look very washed out on the ZL, I tested the shots in Auto mode and normal mode as well as HDR.

In all cases the iP5 in just normal shooting mode blew the ZL out of the water.

Now looking at the pic's on the ZL screen they look better because of that Bravia color thing, but on my iMac side by side the iP5 kill it.

Weird.

Is there any setting's to help this??
[Sony Xperia ZL] safuan7822:
Noticed that too... Weird. with 13 mega and so called camera wow factor in their adds, it just cant beat ip5 and note 1.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bothfly:
What's also strange is to use the 13MP you have to take a picture in 4X3 mode, all normal auto mode pic's are a 9MP shot.

I also tested the dif between a 13mp shot and a 9mp and saw no difference except that the iPhone 5 was still better in both still and video.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
Meh, you guys should know camera is not the strong point of this phone and megapixel don't tell the whole story. If you wanted a phone for camera it's better to buy Nokia N8, it's cheap and still way better than most cameraphones of today. I still kept Nokia N8 as second phone so when I going places I got good camera to take pictures and videos
[Sony Xperia ZL] rajeshr:
I think one of the main reasons to look at camera phones is the fact that you don't need to carry a second device and that you always carry it with you.

I am surprised that the ZL has such a lousy camera - thought Sony's expertise with cameras should have helped. I hope it's not a sensor issue and that maybe a firmware/software update would help with the images.
[Sony Xperia ZL] drlalitbida:
No settings at all may be some firmware or software

upgrade might help
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
Didn't buy because of camera

I am travelling in Chicago, went to the Sony store, had the ZL in my hand and was going to buy it and took a picture.

I have a Galaxy SII now, a bit handicapped I think by the CM10.1 camera software, and took the same picture with it.

There was a HUGE difference. The ZL was brighter, but the detail was awful on the ZL -- there are what appear to be JPG compression artifacts or sharpening artifacts everywhere. Text in the image had pixel artifacts extending out from corners so that everything was jagged and looked like it was done with a 1-2mpx camera instead (and yes I had it set at max).

I'm a photographer, and I am not buying a phone to replace real cameras, but I also don't want to buy the latest and greatest phone and take a step 3 years back in cameras.

This all looks like software (in a very "gut reaction to a few images"). It looks and feels like poor image processing from the raw data, either over-compression or bad sharpening.

I've done a bit of searching and found a few "bad camera" comments, but has there been any reaction from Sony, any indication of improved settings coming? Are any of the mods available capable of addressing this sort of thing, or is that lost in proprietary code space?

I left without a phone, sadly. My GS2 with CM10.1 does almost everything I need, I was just looking for a fresh face. And I LOVED the form factor and feel. But the camera was a deal killer. Will lurk around here in case there may be forthcoming software fixes (as I am almost certain it is a software issue).
[Sony Xperia ZL] CLB-NL:
Nice, a thread about the camera and comparisons without pics :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
Yeah, my bad in this case; I had assumed they would have it mail enabled and I could send myself a photo when I tested it, but they didn't have it set up. I may go back (it's not far) and take a microSD card with me, and see if it's set up so I can write to it and take the photo away. I'd love to have one where I could compare the two on a computer screen.

The image it rendered had good color (better than my SII) and was nicely focused. Just badly processed. I was hoping someone would say "you forgot to set the 'good image or small image'" option to "good". :(

I REALLY liked the feel of the back cover, they did a nice job there. Easy to hold, didn't feel like it was continually going to slide out of my hand.
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Nice one,btw I jus saw a thread about this camera comparison and I didn't see that the camera to be that bad like u guys say it is
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
See this. There is a lot of discussion going on (at xda & sony support forums) about the sony's image "post processing" used in the XZ/ZL. I've read somewhere that this matter has been acknowledged by sony support. You may have a look at the XZ general section for threads (like this) regarding camera (same camera hardware used in ZL). Btw, I think that camera on ZL is not bad at all (it bests my previous note2 camera in almost all aspects)! Some software updates might fix the existing issues (noise blur) especially in the auto mode. Do try the normal mode (13mp size) with hdr & flash off, in case you revisit the store.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
Thank you, will look at the other links, and I did call the store and they sold the demo and no new ones in. I'm here for a couple weeks so I may get another chance.
[Sony Xperia ZL] demonicangell™:
to look at pics on the phone it works fine (probably coz of bravia engine) .. but on a larger screen u can see the problem .. hopefully we see a fix :fingers-crossed:

does the camera mod in the apps & themes work any better than the stock one ? cybershot ....
[Sony Xperia ZL] Linwood.Ferguson:
Does this mod help?

I ran across this. It sounds like it got mixed results, so I suspect it is only touching around the edges of the camera processing and not changing how the engine does the jpg compression. But maybe it is. I offer it for reference; discussion may be better in that thread.

Hi there! Congrats on your new device n welcome aboard! I appreciate your feedback regarding the camera performance on the ZL. I tend to agree with most of what you've said! I only hope sony gives us a patch for camera software soon!

ok fellas ...

i went from :

rom version: 3.17.03 ENG

rom date: 5/15/03

radio version : 4.17

to the upgrade :

rom version: 4.00.16 ENG T-Mobile US

rom date: 7/10/03

radio version : 4.17.00

courtesy of www.yorch.net

however the phone still can not pick up a signal ..

with upgrade i have not been able to switch GSM band from 900/1800 to 900 or 1900 successfully through the wallaby bootloader (after changes are made i can not get out of bootloader without doing a hard reset) also note the xda developers band switch tool is also present but reads error

also note

before the upgrade

my device model no. PW10A1

after upgrade

my device model no. PW10B1

not sure if im getting any closer to the solution but im still happy at this point i havent burned up the unit ...

perhaps it is still an issue of the radio version 4.17.00 (which is the only thing i havent fooled with yet)

any thoughts on trying the radio upgrades from www.yorch.net (under upgrades) ??

if this doesnt kill me it will surely make me stronger ... i will throw a party with beer for everyone if we can get this turkey running !!

thanks again folks !

Have you tried removing sim card prior to gsm switch in bootloader then reinserting after reboot?.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eurowerks:
yes i have tried that as well ...

still no luck :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] andygee:
I had a similar problem on one of the units I have. It ended up that I had to redo the radio to get it working again. The radio from yorch's should be fine.

I upgraded my XDA I with this .exe file and everything went perfect. :D Search this forum on RUU or 4.10.00 and you should find the link to the file (~18M). TMO is pretty much locked on ROM4.10.00, Radio 6.24.01 still needs some work, still having problems only with NorTel Networks equipment. Hope this helps you.

the ftp download was a success :D

i am now running ..

rom : 4.01.00 eng

rom date : 10/27/03

radio version : 6.24.01

still no luck with it picking up a signal for the phone ... i have removed the sim ... and even switched between 900 and 1900 and still cant get a signal ... :cry:

any ideas? anyone ... please :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
It might be your SIM card so try it in another phone and see if it works.

If so try upgrading to the AT&T Radio stack its what I use.

HTH
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eurowerks:
i really cant believe it is the sim as it works fine in my other phone .. so i tried to do the radio uprade ...

from 6.24.01

to a.20.10

i was a bit skeptical as it is an at&t stack and i am using t mobile usa ..

dloaded it from yorch ... opened it in the windows directory of the xda as they say ... and it says something like upgrade failed.. press ok to restart

:?

says to be sure the path is correct and none of the files are missing ... perhaps there is something i am missing ...

also wondering how dangerous this radio upgrade is ... been reading some horror stories about others that have ruined their devices trying the upgrades .. but after all this is the 3rd rom ive installed so i figured what could a radio upgrade hurt ... anyways .. still no luck .. :cry:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Confirming you copied all of the below files to your Windows root folder

RSUpgrade.exe

RSUpgrade.cp64

monitor_ul_bs.map

monitor_ul_bs.m0

and the upgrade still failed with a be sure path is correct and none of the files are missing? BTW your old radio stack is still in tact since it failed in

this way. Just remove any leftover upgrade links from your Startup folder.

How dangerous is upgrading the radio stack you ask? Its the most dangerous upgrade you can do in my book and should be only do as a last resort in getting your phone to work.

Also I can understand why you're skeptical as to it being an AT&T radio stack, most are but its the most powerful radio stack to date in my book and I've used them all (US that is). Your device must really be in bad shape to knock it down! :shock:

BTW what part of the US are you located?

HTH
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eurowerks:
Confirming you copied all of the below files to your Windows root folder

RSUpgrade.exe

RSUpgrade.cp64

monitor_ul_bs.map

monitor_ul_bs.m0

yes the above files were all copied to the windows folder of the xda .. not too sure about what u mean by root folder ... but they were opened within the windows folder ... :?

i did remove the files after it failed .. perhaps i should just be happy the pda works and it powers on ... :lol:

anyways im here on the east coast (nyc) .. lemme know if anyone comes up with anything else ... also wondering ... has anyone tried the upgrade from the siemens web site ?? i think it is something like A.20.17 .. im assuming it is a radio upgrade as well ?

question re. radio upgrades ..

is performing the upgrade by opening the exe file on the device standing alone the risky part? :? since upgrading the rom also has the radio upgrade within it and it is done while connected to the pc on the cradle with activsync perhaps that makes it safer ... ??
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
The A.20.17 upgrade contains both ROM and radio stack upgrade. The ROM is AT&T's most current Pocket PC 2002 update.

As far as the radio stack failure goes it can happen either way but its best not to have your device connected to the PC while doing it though!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Hey guys ...

The point is what is the actual type of the device A or B. Forget what's is shown in the device info as it can ve changed buy a wrong ROM or RSU upgrade. Refer to the device sticker in the device back side. If the device is A type then it's only 900 or 900/1800 type ... don't ever try to switch to any 1900 option as it may ruin the Radio part. If it's B then you can select the 1900 if your network supports this band. Don't forget also to switch it in the phone settings since now you have 4.01.00.

As Peter Poelman said, try to select the right band from the bootloader and soft reset more than once. Usually it takes many trials.

Good luck ... :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eurowerks:
well the sticker on the back of the device indicates ...

PW10A1 ...

however the software indicates otherwise ... and yes ive tried soft resetting it several times in both bands :oops:

still can not recieve a signal ... :(

Qman .. out of curiosity .. what does your device sticker on the back read? and does it differ from what the software says it is?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Yeap its the same! The sticker on the back indicates: PW10B1

and in Device Information under Identity it states the same:

Hardware.... PW10B1

Q: Are you sure your Phone Options are set correctly?

(Is it displaying your correct phone number, network, band ect..)

To find this info press the green phone button then Tools, Options.

HTH
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Qman,

ur device is still in good shape coz it's PW10B and all RSUs u 've been trying are made by US operators either TMO or ATT so they support 900/1900.

Eurowerks,

since the sticker says it PW10A then ur only option is 900 MHz. 1st check that ur networks has this band width. Make sure it's on 900 option in phone sittings. Select the 900 option in the GSM menu and turn off/on more than once. Do a hard reset, and try to select the network manually to force the xda to do a frequencies scanning, and to be more sure try more than one SIM from different operators.

Hope any of this will work with you ... good luck.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] eurowerks:
:roll:

well it looks like ive tried about all there is to try on this one folks ... thanks for all the help ... it doesnt seem t mobile puts out a 900 signal ... at least here in ny ... havent had a chance to try an at&t or cingular card but if given the opp i will try ... anyways , im always open for suggestions ..

thanks again 8)

I noticed that in the Shostock3 ROM - in the change history, it lists apps being updated. Like gmail, youtube, etc. And I also see that there is no separate "gapps" zip file to flash. I suppose that means the ROM itself has the apps embedded in it. Does that mean you have to wait for a ROM update to gave the apps updated? Or do the OTA updates to these apps such as gmail still happen for you?

It goes back to Google telling CyanogenMod that they can't bundle gapps with the ROM. Aosp actually doesn't contain any Google apps as Google apps are closed source.

Kinda a similar concept to hot plugging the CPU from 1 core to 2 cores. What if there was a feature that would hot plug data. I've been turning my data on and off manually as needed and of course there is a very noticeable boost in battery life. But if say the kernel could just turn data on and off every 5 min or whatever, you could half the time the radio is on increase battery life and still be able to receive updates with apps that require a data connection. Just something i thought about while i was driving. Not sure if its even possible but we have a toggle so it should be possible to write code to toggle it back and forth. Thoughts anyone?

[General Questions and Answers] veloearl:
I got my girlfriend a Nexus 10 for her birthday. I think she knows she is getting a tablet, so I want to make her work for it a little.

Idea is to wrap an old android cell phone instead. She would turn it on and start the only app on the home screen. App would beep faster / slower as she gets closer to / farther from the Nexus 10, which would be hidden somewhere inside the house. Nexus 10 is like a homing beacon.

Seems the easiest way is to use the Nexus 10 as an access point and the phone would beep based on how strong / weak the wifi signal is. If not possible to use the Nexus 10 as an AP, I would just put it near a router and use the router.

Does an app like that exist (and would it work as expected)? Or can anyone point me in the direction of the source code for an app that is close and I could modify it?
