[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attbrandon:
Ha, I guess it just didn't hurt enough to post a picture?

Anyways, no, the exynos octa will not be present in the United States and there are currently zero plans to bring it here.

Samsung and Nokia reps came by today, just left.

Notes from the Samsung rep who has tested both phones:

Both models have their advantages and disadvantages.

Battery drain on the A15 cores was immense if you were heavily gaming on your phone. Also battery drain for LTE on the exyos was much worse than snapdragon. As far as battery life went, A7 > Snapdragon > A15.

Release date as of right now for at&t is April 26th.

Snapdragon 600 version provided an overall better experience in his opinion as from his experience it did not take much to activate the A15 cores as opposed to the A7 and it seemed like there was "micro-stuttering" when this occured, though he believed this would be improved upon and eliminated in the future.

Adrena 320 GPU > Mali GPU in high end gaming, which also influenced exynos vs snapdragon placement alongside availability of the processor. He pointed to the ice storm benchmarks as proof.

I think this is going to be the real challenge for Samsung, being able to keep up with demand. That's just for the memory, Exynos is another issue.

What's the big deal about this guy posting screen shots of an I337? I don't even work in the cellular industry, and do you know how many SIII's I saw before they officially arrived in stores? They're out there already, not in record numbers, not store has their hands on one, but people do all over this country have them, it's NOT worth trying to call BS on someone.... He's posted screen shots, he's got it, chill out people....

In regards to the US getting the Exynos processor, that's about as likely as us getting 4GB of memory, IMHO....

I think you should chill out. No one else is trippin, and that guy who said he doesnt believe it, let it be thats his opinion. Seems like you took it to another level.

Hi,

i started on the official Sony Mobile support forum a Topic with the difference between Burst and Automatic Mode .

Here ist the link : Link : http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/445145#445145

Perhaps WE FROM THE XDA FORUM can write more reviews into the Sony Topic and perhaps Sony will see that they made a (i hope) software error !

We should show Sony the Way !!
[Xperia Z General] Spectre51:
I've already talked to a Sony dev and made them aware of the issue. They said they have already gotten other reports about it as well, but continue to let them know. The more people that complain about the issue the better.

[Xperia Z General] dubist:
Ok that's good .

How you say The more people write about this issue into the Forum of Sony Mobile the more will Sony see that the People aren't stupid :D
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
Don't know what you people are looking at, but pictures on my Z on burst mode come out disgusting. Loads of noise, no extra detail, they look absolutely awful. Just do not know what making normal pictures look like crap will do to help....

Simply put we need a sharpness and compression control setting like the HTC One, that's it.
[Xperia Z General] decentgi:
i have a camera related issue but its not directed at burst mode, when I take pictures at night I get a blue tint at the bottom of the photo if im holding it in portrait and if I have it in landscape its obviously on the right hand side its not a subtle tint but a very dark tint and its pretty bad. anyone having the same issue?

the problem is that this is the second xperia z to have done this so if I am the only one this has happened to then I must be the unluckiest guy in the world to get two handsets with the same fault
[Xperia Z General] decentgi:
first time with posting pics hope it works
[Xperia Z General] biffsmash:
Looks like screen protectors are affecting the flash, this happened to me with protectors that came in the box.

And also post this Link from talk.sonymobile in all other Forums to create some commotion :) the more people view this Topic the more important it seems to Sony!
[Xperia Z General] zodiac100:
The smoke truth is, the low light performance of the Z is only decent when you use night portrait in scenes. Try that and see if the quality improves.

Also I really don't know where all this talk of bust mode pictures being better comes from. For me they're are absolutely horrible. Noisy as hell and just unusable.

The only problem with the Zs camera is under low light, it's much improved if you use night portrait as I said but that's the only weakness I've found. In good light it smashes everything I've compared it to so far. IPhone 4S and 5 don't compare and my friends GS3 is no where close.

The Zs camera gets a bad rep because the Z gets a bad rep from the tech blogs. Sony is an outsider and I doubt they've greased many palms.
[Xperia Z General] Gitaroo:
tell sony to get their cybershot department to write some proper software.
[Xperia Z General] Dr.Paul:

Similar problem on low-light (used night portrait scene, night scene, normal, all with flash).

Cleaned the lens, flash etc. Seems like the flash is placed a little bit too close to the lens.
[Xperia Z General] decentgi:
you have the same issue so its just not me. I really don't know if it is the flash being so close I took a few shots with flash on and they were perfect it wasn't till a few days later that it started to happen.
[Xperia Z General] Kevin_seymer:
I think everybody should email Sony about the issue and complain, that will help alot better than on a forum I belive

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
[Xperia Z General] caitsith01:
This is not true.

Night portrait is very average. Manually setting the ISO in "normal" mode produces the best results at night IMHO, as per the other thread about the camera.

"superior auto" is the devil.

And there is a very clear difference between burst mode and auto mode pics, have a look at the examples in the thread about that.
[Xperia Z General] dubist:
but we must write all the same email but what exactly?
[Xperia Z General] Kevin_seymer:
I think its better if all just wrote what they think of the camera, just DEMAND an update because we know its a software issue and probebly a compression issue...hardware is capable of very good photos but its the software... So Email them you are disapointed with the camera and demand an update!

I don't know but Sony puts on their mobile phones everytime a front and back sky anti shatter film and the flash is covered by this clear antishattter film

[Xperia Z General] athris:
I tried an android camera app call camera360, It takes really good picture(from my point of view). Maybe you guys can try it. Oh the images will be really big, I get over 10 MB on each picture.
[Xperia Z General] Higgins12:
Yep you're right. Way better pics. Although I'm not getting 10MB pics but hitting 7MB at least. Much clearer pics, better then BURST mode
[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
Exactly the same quality here in Normal mode/camera360. It's true the file is bigger in camera360, but the quality isn't better. At least in daylight...

Burst mode is still the best choice right now...

here you can check yourself.

[Xperia Z General] Belfast.:
7Mb image? When? :) I have in normal mode 1,3-1,7 MB. Quality similar to stock app. Wishful thinking.
[Xperia Z General] Higgins12:
Well have a look. Quick shot from the Window
[Xperia Z General] Belfast.:
Ok
[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
I've just changed my mind. Depending on the light, Camera360 is able to take the best shots until now! I think the app applies some contrast tweaks and pictures look sharper. Just look at the picture:
[Xperia Z General] Belfast.:
Wast of time. Noise blur.. poor, casual camera.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
Downloaded the app and my photos are only around 1.2MB but I did notice comments from people moaning about too much compression making me think they've updated the app recently and maybe not in a good way.
[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
Settings, smart Use, check Smart HD Improvement

Settings, photo settings, photo size: 1300 MP

Settings, photo quality, Super Fine.
[Xperia Z General] jonmorris:
Had done everything except Smart HD so now they're up to 6MB! Thanks.

How do you set it to only take normal photos by default instead of random? (I will go back and check in case it's stupidly obvious).

Edit: Scratch that, it remembers the last mode. Convinced it didn't last time!

Battery Charging Problem Solved ?

I bought my LG Optimus 3D off Ebay. The seller stated that it wouldn't charge. Bought it anyway.

After weeks of using it this way. Every once in awhile it would charge up to about 50% then fall back to 0%.

At first I thought it was the charging cable or charging port. Found out if I push down on the black plastic terminal block.

(The thing with the 3 gold plated terminal fingers coming out of it that contact the battery terminals) I can charge up to 100% now.

I think there maybe a bad solder connection. I put up this post thinking this may help someone with the same problem.

Hope it does.

Update Fixed

After taking the phone apart and resoldering the battery terminal block. It worked for about a day.

Checking it out some more, I found that the last pin wasn't connecting internally inside the battery terminal block.

Removing part of the cover of the battery terminal block I found I had more access to the last pin. (Pin on the right)

Pushed it in more and held it there with a piece of small foam. Been working great for more than a month and still does.

Like a new phone now.

Usually i using cm10a4. The battery life is really good.

8hours deep sleep just eat 5-15% of batt.

But now... cm9 and cm10... All the same. MY battery won't hold for long time

8hours deep sleep eat a lot of my battery!

it make me have to recharge everyday...

I found some People got this prob too. They said it's Kernel problem...

Does it true?

I have tried Battery CAlb. but still the same.

The battery app say my batt can hold for 1day 16hours 34min.

but suddenly change to 5 hours 23min.

please help ...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
cm10.1 most likely same as cm10 regarding battery life.

try using betterbatterystats maybe there is some culprit. and also check your network signal. bad signal also affect on power consumsion. unstable signal cause cpu to work more.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] egagah:
using better battery stats (bbs) is great for killing some of the wakelocks in your phones (since not all wakelocks are directly identifiable, at least remove those most problematic is good enough). However, take it from me that bbs itself is causing serious drains to your battery. After spending 2 days with bbs, successfully eliminating most of the problematic wakelock, i used titanium backup pro to freeze bbs and my battery life improved tremendously! (from 4% drop an hour which is a little high, to 1% per hour). I am using Queen Anne's Revenge v2.3 rom with hurtsky cm9 kernel v2.1 (the latest 2.2 seems buggy), underclocked to 1MHz (shouldn't matter when it comes to just idling) and undervolted to extreme-UV values provided by CastagnaIT kernel here (credits to pepoluan for providing the link to the UV table)

from your experience .... (as I do not have XDA II) I am curious whether you can make memory allocation in such a way that you have for storage 32MB and for programs 96MB and on the reverse side ... 96MB for memory for storage and only 32MB apps running ???

it is known tome limitation on previous model XDA I when after making an upgrade up to 128MB only 64MB could be used for apps and the remaining half is proprietary storage but not for ... running apps
