does JTAG'ing void the warranty as they have to open up the phone? I haven't looked in depth at videos of people opening up the phone but I can only imagine that they ahve some stickers inside...

If not, I'd definitely send my phone to them if it meant I could get S-OFF even though I'm on JB
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
I imagine it voids the warranty. But then again, unlocking the bootloader and rooting your phone could also void the warranty...

Thanks Venomtester, I guess I'll start packing up my phone then.

I used mobiletechvideos to fix my HBOOT and S-OFF and they did a fantastic job on both. I would recommend them to anyone looking for that service.

So I kow Mobile Tech does jtag but what if u dont have the IMEI because i got this phone in a trade and it doesnt have a IMEI sticker or whatever. I forgot to even write it down. Anyways I am not going to use the phone on contract so is there any other possible solutions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Imei can be found in the bootloader

Hi all,

Since upgrading to the recently released O2 ROM I can no longer get my activesync to work over bluetooth. I have reinstalled the bluetooth module on the PC and tried many many times to connect - without sucess.

Usually I just make sure of the following:

XDA2 paired with laptop (Dell D600).

ActiveSync BT profile installed and set to COM4 (in this case)

Activesync itself has COM4 in its settings.

Then usually, I go to activesync on the XDA2, hit sync over bluetooth and hey-presto! But since the upgrade I get nothing...no messages, no failure, no connection....just nothing.

Has anyone seen this and found a way out? I have trawled the forum but nothing seems to help.

Cheers - Rich
[Networking] KA Kueh:
Hi,

It is very odd. I know and this happen to three XDA II devices in our office after the upgrade. If you experiencing the following.

1) Go the ActiveSync of XDA and select Tools and then Connect Via Bluetooth. Nothing happens. None of the usual dialog box saying "Opening Port".

This is how I got it working again for all three devices.

1) Uninstall the bluetooth application and driver from your PC and reboot.

2) Reistall the bluetooth application and driver.

3) From the XDA II.

a) Remove any previous pairing that you may have made before.

b) Go Start -> Settings -> System -> Bluetooth Settings

c) Click the "Start" Button

d) Select the Bonded Devices Tab

e) Select "New" and go through the pairing process.

4) Now the bluetooth via ActiveSync should work.

Note:. Check on bluetooth settings the comm port setting used and make sure that ActiveSync is using the same comm port. Also upgrade to the latest ActiveSync version 3.7.1 Build(4034).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Kueh.
[Networking] Rob_B:
Hi There.

I had this problem also.

All I did was go into ActiveSync on the PC and deleted the bonding between the two devices. (Its in the file menu somewhere). Then on the PPC, go to Start, Settings, System, Bluetooth Settings, then click on the ActiveSync setup and start a fresh.

Good luck, hope it all works.

Rob. :)
[Networking] rakh1:
EXCELLENT!!

Many thanks - in my rush I had forgotten to tell it to start the bluetooth activesync setup as described in your mail.

Many thanks - R
[HTC EVO 3D] SgtPropain:
Ok this is just a general question/poll: What roms/kernels has one used to get Sixaxis to work? For me I can't get the BT to initialize on any CM9 rom; haven't tried stock or GB. The current JB AOKP Roms P.A.C.M.A.N and Team Dirt both connect to my Sixaxis flawlessly. A Possible sub question would be: If one has knowledge in the kernel variance;I.E. the bluetooth drivers, please share such info be it a source quote ETC.

Thank you for your input

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] testinguser:
Just wondering which 64gb microsdxc cards are you guys looking to use with your new s4? WIth al the issues with the sandisk 64, wondering if it's worth paying the little extra for samsung 64gb pro UHS1 (does the s4 support that speed?) Anyone know?

Also are you guys planning to use exfat? I hear some of the roms w/the old s3 had issues with exfat and needed fat32
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] frankyy714:
Haven't heard of any problems with the s4, pretty sure there will be more info by next saturday
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] testinguser:
So I ended up getting the samsung 64gb microsdxc UHS1 speed rated, and also bought a USB 3.0 card reader that supports it. I suspect however the s4 (like the s3) will not support the higher UHS speeds:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Booomber:
I ordered the same card yesterday. I think the quality is alot better than sandisk. And even if the sgs4 dont support the full speed. It's still worth the few bugs more.

But maybe it do support it? Will have to wait and see. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] djq:
the SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 works great never given me any problems
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jtc276:
That's also what I have. I've had no problems using it in my Sansa Fuze and Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] darkkain:
I'm using Sandisk 64gb sdxc and it is very good. No problems with this card.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Booomber:
View attachment 1900696

Yeah the sandisk is no doubt good enough. But the samsung is faster. But the question is. Does the phone even support the ekstra speed.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Kapitein187:
Don't you have a promotional deal from Samsung in your country? We, in the Netherlands, get a 64gb c10 sd card from Samsung with the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fade2green514:
i really love faster loading apps, though i'm normally limited in how many apps i can store on the sd card... however!

-the faster write speed will definitely come in handy when taking dual shot video

-the faster read speed is definitely worth getting UHS-1 but i doubt that you will notice much difference between the sandisk and samsung versions no matter what you're doing.

still, much thanks for the benchmarks, the samsung card will definitely offer a more future-proof solution
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Sarcron:
How does the Samsung 64GB MicroSD stack up in terms of speed vs the Galaxy S4 internal memory? Also, is it worth the extra $10 or so for the Samsung version vs Sandisk?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Sammath:
Yes, that's also the case for me (also from the netherlands)

But Im currently using a sandisk 64gb class 10 and it also works good in my note2 (formatted as fat32 tho)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] soraxd:
my 32gb sandisk was effed in my s3, mounted and unmounted every minute, could take a battery from 100 ~ 30 in an hour with screen off in your pocket.. replaced it with a new one and has worked fine since, there's a visual difference of the memory array on the card, so i think there's a upgraded hw version of the sandisk microsd cards. got my bad one from bestbuy last black Friday
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] KryptosXLayer2:
Huh.... strange, I bought mine during Black Friday too, not from BBY though, and hasn't caused any problems! But that's what "a bad batch" means, I wasn't in that batch, thankfully
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] djq:
thats good news!! i have not had a bad card either
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] WhosAsking:
I went with SanDisk because I've had the fewest problems with that brand compared to say Sony or PNY. I tried using the card as exFAT and ran into problems. Furthermore, it's incompatible with CWM (due to the Microsoft patent, they can't include support), so I used guiformat to reformat it FAT32, and now it runs smoothly and is visible to CWM. Having so much room at hand is quite liberating.

For what it's worth, the 64GB Samsung Extreme Pro card is $49.99 at your local Frys (if you have one nearby) until 5/23.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dbpaddler:
Picked that up at Radio Shack for $43 before Christmas. Formatted it to fat32 for my Note 2 and popped it in the S4 with no issues.

When I buy another one it'll be SanDisk or Samsung.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] shinkinrui:
I'm very interested in getting a Note 8.0 but if I did get it I would want one that has the phone functionality and is capable of connecting to hspa+ on aws band 4 (I'm on tmo US). I know it's not very likely to happen in the US but I was hoping maybe Wind or some other carrier would release one with the feature intact and the bands I need. Anyone hear anything?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Rottgrub:
One thing to keep in mind is that T-Mobile US is in the process of rolling out 1900Mhz data bands, so you will be able to use EU standard GSM devices (like the n5100), and AT&T compatible phones with 3G/4G data.

It's not everywhere yet, but you can check Airportal/ to see if people are getting 3G/4G data in your area. It's currently rolling out in my area, and I've been seeing 3G and H signals on my EU GSM Xperia Mini more and more often. Pretty sweet, really.

Cheers.

changes:

- 20Mbps for 1080/720 video (orig. 17.5Mbps and 12Mbps)

- 312KBits audio (orig. 156KBps)

- forced JPEG quality to 100% anywhere in the camera app + media profiles

how to install:

- extract the zip file

- copy SemcCameraUI.apk to /system/app

- change permissions of SemcCameraUI.apk to 644 (rw-r--r--) + owner to root using Root Explorer or some other tools

- copy media_profiles.xml to /system/etc

- change permissions of media_profiles.xml to 644 (rw-r--r--) + owner to root using Root Explorer or some other tools

- reboot
[Xperia Z General] dubist:
how big is a Picture? I hope the Compression is lower :(
[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
The camera problem is NOT about compression but about noise reduction, made by mainly a blur filter.

The Sony Xperia Z jpg compression in my opinion is excellent. Bigger size not always means better quality. Look at the difference between mp3/aac... In Z pics there aren't any jpg artifacts, they preserve a very good dynamic range (to be a jpg), etc.

I guess Sony is the only one who is able to solve such issue.
[Xperia Z General] E90 Commie:
I just installed the mod and it seems to work. I took a quick test photo and a test video and I will make more later and see how they compare to the original camera.

I was a bit weary about installing it first since the Cybershot mod didn't work but this one seems to be totally OK.
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
I disagree, a bigger size tend to have more detail about the pic.
[Xperia Z General] LBTaylor1984:
interested to see if this improves the images
[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
Same quality here.
[Xperia Z General] ssj_jaypee:
root needed?
[Xperia Z General] E90 Commie:
I guess this mod do more for video than for pictures even if the discussions in other threads about the 100% setting indicated slightly better picture quality.
[Xperia Z General] propov:
Yes root needed.But in normal mode only with change exponation to around +0.7 and indoor shots in low light is better now.
[Xperia Z General] El.Guaje:
You can not see can big changes in here. If yes, it's just about 10% or 15%
[Xperia Z General] berserkerx87:
Would this work on a ZL?
[Xperia Z General] propov:
For me the changes is more than 10%.Before this pictures was unacceptable.Now with this mod it is not perfect but is so acseptable.And do important is that this is the begininig.This is first MOD and I beleive is not last!

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Thanks tommybrrr, video really is record under 20Mbps for 1080/720 video (orig. 17.5Mbps and 12Mbps) & 312KBits audio (orig. 156KBps).

But photo wise I not sure, output seems similar and never increase in file size also even though it is obvious change at media_profiles.xml

Thanks for your kind work, will keep this for the video bit-rate if no any errors occur, so far seems ok, don't have any auto FC in background.

[Xperia Z General] diego9016:

Thanks.
[Xperia Z General] tommybrrr:
Yes, seems like most, if not all the bad things for picture captering happen in the Sony camera driver and not in the camera app - and the driver is way harder to modify than the camera app :(

If I find any real way to improve picture quality I will do it.
[Xperia Z General] tommybrrr:
Cyber-Shot is giving me a FC once it is in background and it seem to contain way too many files, couldn't find a trace that they are actually needed or used.
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:

[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
Is that a joke? Really are you trying to compare theses pics (before):

First pic: ISO 800, 1/32s

Second pic: ISO 800, 1/32s

Third pic: ISO 1000, 1/32s

with these (after) ????

First pic: ISO 40, 1/2s

Second pic: ISO 80, 1/4s

Night Scene mode in the after pics?

You cannot compare 800 ISO and 40 ISO !!!!
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
lol can we get someone that know photography to do this test?
[Xperia Z General] Andrewtst:
You won't see much different for photo, I had compare mine, seems no different at all (that why I didn't post the comparison), as OP mention, high possible photo quality has been die to the driver itself not the app. (Another mod - cyber-shot also same, not working for photo, only video work).

But Video do working as it record as mention bit-rate.
[Xperia Z General] QualQuek:
Priceless:laugh:
[Xperia Z General] juanmaasecas:
I made my own test. No differences at all in pics (not tested in video). It seems the mod try to improve jpg compression (default 90% vs 100%) but the Camera issue is NOT about compression but about noise reduction, implemented by basically a blur filter. I've said it lots of times... We need new camera drivers.

Jpg compression is perfect. No artifacts at all and a good size. Bigger size doesn't always mean better quality.
[Xperia Z General] abd_alazeez2002:
Op is right, it is about noise.

At 1600 iso, I get noisy, unsharp and flared pics.

Reducing iso to 100 reduce noise, but the pic still not sharp.
[Xperia Z General] zanndoth:
Feature Request: Volume rocker as shutter for underwater shots

Is it possible to add the volume rocker to trigger the camera shutter? Like double-click, or click+(click & hold). or something to that effect so that it can be used as a camera button while underwater.

or, add an option to enable and disabled this. kinda like a toggle. that way, we can still use the volume rocker for zooming during normal usage.

because currently, you can't take photos underwater unless you use the timer before submerged.

apparently on other htc phones clearing the data from Google Services Framework does the trick, but not in my case.

maybe sim free points to a different server, to that of carrier phones due to branding. i guess there is no update on the server.

Manual install?

Has anyone had any luck with manually installing the update on an untouched phone, i.e stock recovery and locked bootloader? I've tried renaming the file posted earlier to update.zip and copying it to the internal storage, but when I restart in bootloader mode and enter the menu by pressing volume up then power it just posts up on screen that it couldn't find the sdcard four times and when I try apply from sdcard it briefly complains that it is an invalid operation and reboots. I've tried copying it to a USB stick and booting to recovery with that attached which get a bit further, no complaints about not finding an sdcard this time, just one about no cw firmware found and skipping cw install. Is it the naming of the update (should be something different than update.zip or the original OTA downloaded file nme) or maybe it should be looking in a different folder?

EDIT:Just tried again to get the error message correct. It is Device_CW_install: No CW files found, cw install skipped.

Maybe its something to do with a gold card installation? I've never done one before so no idea what it should look like.

[One (M7) General] kitch9:
I think some of the carriers are starting to demand to the manufacturers that the sim free phones get updated after the carrier phones to stop people whining on their forums.
