Same Problem

I had the same problem with out of focus/shaky pictures plus that sometimes when I wanted to turn on the camera to make pictures I received a camera busy message. The last 3 pictures that I've took with SG4 I had to use the best out of 8 picture setting to get a clear picture of a product that I make... I also noticed that even that I had better signal than HTC One or Iphone 3GS the internet was way slower compared to the other 2 phones and sometimes at home I had to turn off and on the WIFI, cause it wasn't working...

Have you tried drinking less alcohol when taking these photos?

And if that doesn't work, drink more! :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE-COPS:
Yup.. so annoying. On my last phone it took mostly clear photos. On this, you have to be still as a hair... it constantly uses low shutter speeds instead of higher ISO's making it use 1/16 shutter speed in the most inconvenient times. With my last phone (HTC Rezound), id use the cam under a bright LED flashlight and take steady shots of old paper photographs so I could post them online for friends. Im trying to do the same thing with the S4 and the pics keep coming out blurry, even when im completely still. Its a very bright light so idk why its choosing slow shutter speeds. I end up giving up trying to get a clear shot... ridiculous.

On another note... it does take very clear daytime pics. ....

It is very difficult to understand game code written by somebody else. I am no game dev and for that reason I have not done OpenGL in detail.

Why don't you ask the developer of the app? He knows his code best. ;)

Hello. As u see in my sign i'm using desire with 4.2.2 android and i want to try MildWild MW-9.5 Based on Redux2 rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031467 from here. How i can flash it? Just wipe cache and data and just flash it from sd card? I'm using 4ext recovery. And my sd card is partitioned, wont it make any problems?

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maze0121:
1. Do a full wipe using 4ext recovery. Full wipe = "Wipe Dalvik Cache erase /data and /cache partitions.wipe the battery stats. There is an option for that in 4EXT menu .

2. Create two partition on your sd card - [xxGB fat32] + [1GB ext] use the partition menu in 4EXT recovery, backup data on sd card first!

3. Flash the .zip file :good:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
no, you need to:

- nandroid backup (just in case)

- change hboot to maximise space. i think it will fit inside oxygenR2 hboot with 100MB system, download the rom to check system size or search the thread. download the hboot from alpharev.nl, and i recommend using fastboot commands to change hboot (guide here).

- you need to 'full wipe' when changing roms. in 4ext recovery there is a wipe all partitions except sd card option, this formats everything including system, data, sd-ext etc. wiping cache and data is not enough

- flash rom and reboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zydrikis:
How can i change hboot? I didnt understand that part. And why i need to change it? It sounds not very easy to change those roms and it's confusing a little bit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
follow the guide, i even found it for you ;)

you don't have to change, but it uses the space more efficiently.

you are on stock hboot, so you have 250MB system size, but that mildwild rom system size is only ~95MB. this wastes 155MB empty on /system. by changing to oxygenR2 hboot with 100MB, you waste only 5MB. by switching to oxygenR2 your internal memory also goes up from 147MB to 332MB, allowing more space for apps :laugh:

so up to you if you want this extra space for apps. you might as well change it while switching roms so you don't have to worry about it later.

it's quite easy to change roms once you search how to do it. you are basically backing up, wiping the device and flashing a new rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zydrikis:
Oh sorry, didnt see the guide.. But i can firstly change the rom and then think about changing hboot yes? And if not changing hboot, if partition sdcard, that gives internal storage too, no?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you can install the rom and change hboot afterwards yes, make sure you nandroid backup! but you might as well change hboot first because you have to full wipe when changing roms anyway. honestly it's not very difficult.

you created your sd card partition with 4ext recovery? i'd recommend it to be 1-1.5GB. the partition will automatically be used for apps and dalvik cache i believe, but you won't 'see' it as extra internal memory.

however, on stock hboot you will only have 147MB for app data, which can fill up quickly depending on how many apps you use. oxygenR2 hboot will be much more efficient use of internal memory. up to you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zydrikis:
yes, i created it with 4ext recovery and i made 1gb of my sd card for internal, i know that i cant see the storage except with titanium backup. I think i will try to flash that rom after full wipe without changing hboot.

Why is it that you need a gps reciever to use with an XDA/XDA II? Is AGPS (AGPS triangulates position from the towers) not available for GSM?
[General Accessories] edsub:
There are 2 resons for not wanting to rely on gsm network tower info:

1. The info (cell broadcast) is not sent with every network

2. Its not close that precise as true gps

There is a swiss site that has made an application that uses network info for positioning.

Cant remember the name though
[General Accessories] Xant:
Some infos...

AGPS is called asissted gps, which means the GPS receiver ( which is still a piece of hardware, which is not included in current phones ) uses GSM location information to find it's poistion, this makes the GPS receiver "lighter" and faster.

This service will cost money, as the provider will not give the information for free.

GSM location info based on triangulation is something different, and indeed not very reliable.

Alex
[General Accessories] interestingfellow:
Thanks

I was just curious. If you can remember the name of the swiss site that would be fantastic. I have the sense of direction similar to a cockroach with no head, so if it were to be accurate within 1/2 mile, that would be good enough for me. I don't need it soo bad that I have to buy a GPS, but if it were available by just installing some software, well that would be a different story. Anyway, thanks soo much again!

manual agps config

Hi everyone

I'm new and a bit lost and overwhelmed being new to android.

I recently bought a Malata Zpad T6 with GPS and 3G running a Malata ROM of 2.2.

I'm having a few issues with the GPS. It works. I've used the GPS status app which picks up loads of satellites but Google maps is way off. (I live in northern Ireland and it shows my location as somewhere in the north sea.)

When I press the locate button with GPS module off/on Google maps says my location is unavailable.

Could someone give me some help please? Or guidance to sources that will help me.

I have a Orange UK sim in the pad so I'd like to use AGPS. Can I manually configure this? I'd read about the GPS.config file. Does anyone know if this can be manually set up?

Finally, sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. I've been searching xda for days trying to find a solution.

Are you sure your not just covering the Mic with your shoulder?

Probably the reason.
[One (M7) General] cloudedhopes:
Well the mic is at the bottom... So definitely not covering it. Maybe covering the small hole on the back (assuming it's the noise cancellation mic) but that shouldn't matter... Did you try?
[One (M7) General] mkokotovich:
I'm having the same issue. Left shoulder, no one can hear me. Right shoulder, people hear me fine. I'm positive I'm not covering the normal mic.

I think it has to do with the noise cancellation mic, as that is the only difference. My guess is either it covers the mic so it can't pick up anything (and somehow that messes things up) or it covers the opening so the mic only picks up sound transmitting physically through my face (and then the noise cancellation mic is hearing mostly the same as the front mic so it cancels it out).

I'm hoping it can be fixed with a software upgrade, it's definitely annoying.

I have a o2-One (Germany) and simply by holding it in my left Hand normally signal goes down form -85 dBm 14 ASU to -97 dBm 7 ASU.

Not that I care too much though, because that is pretty normal and not really a death grip. It' more like a little weakening grip :p
[One (M7) General] kxfrog:
On EE here in the UK, phone doesn't have any noticeable loss of signal from normal use but it is possible to tightly grip it and cause signal loss.

Other than that... In normal use wifi and 4g/3G signal are much better than iPhones in the same household!

and I cant connect it to flashtool again.

It wont startup again screen stays black.

Phone is new,what can I do to restore it to firmware??

Please help a noob!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathlessOne:
Custom kernel flashing requires an unlocked bootloader. Hoping that your phone is new, it would be locked!

First install the drivers (XZ drivers, flash mode and fastboot drivers) from drivers folder of flashtool (For flashtool, download the beta version from Xperia Z Original Development forum page than the 0.9.10.1 version- it doesn't support Z)

Next download the firmware of your choice. Make sure it isn't corrupted!

Switch off your mobile but DON'T connect!

Paste the downloaded firmware in firmwares folder of flashtool.

Open flashtool, select flash mode and select the firmware you copied!

It says that it is preparing files, let it do (about 5-10 mins)

After that, a dialog pops up saying that to connect the device, now hold the volume down button and try connecting the device. The flashing should start!

I got it restored to original.

I just wont to install the cm 10.1 kernel and then the cm10.1 rom.

They say I have to extract the kernel,when I unrar the firmware do I use the boot.img?

How do I do extract the kernel on Sony?

When I connect to flashtool it doesnt give me the option to unlock,so i presume its unlocked?

How can I check?

Ive been flashing my Note for a year now,but this is somewhat different.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddhouse:
To go onto cm 10 or as op (4.2.2) you need to unlock your bootloader

If you want to use Cm roms First you need to know if you can unlock it by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* >service info > configuration and look under bootloader unlock no means can't be unlocked, yes means you can, if you do unlock it make sure you back up your TA partition

There are tutorials on how to unlock bl and even on Sony unlock how to do it

Hello folks,

I try since a few days to edit apks. I fail so hard that I started questionning myself. I got this smart phone just recently, but I managed within a day to root it and to put a new ROM onto it. So I can't be that stupid.

No I downloaded an app, which for some reasons contains the "Send SMS without notification" thingy. I would like to remove it, since there is no reason for the app to do it in terms of its functionality and it is somewhat from a dodgy source.

I went to all of the threads here and checked the programs like:

APK Tool

Easy APK Editor

etc. etc. pp. pp.

I follow the instruction closely BUT there is never an explanation of HOW to use this tool. It is always said how to prepare usage, but never how to actually do it.

I am not a programmer and English is not my mothers tongue. I just don't know what Decompile/Compile means, I don't know how to use this "Batch" files if not explained well.

And I am sure I am not the only one. I could not find ANY good explanation on that topic just people writing "Works fine" or "Does not work fine".

Any can help here and take a tool and write a real APP Edit manual? Or any other solution here?

Thanks guys,

this forum is great, keep up the good work!
