[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AndroidLonghorn:
It is slightly brighter than the S3. However, if you are in bright sunlight and if your phone is not on auto brightness and set to the lowest level, you will have trouble seeing the screen to set auto-brightness. The lowest brightness level seems lower than on the S3. I have run into this a few times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] geoldr:
Compared to my s3 its much better. Outside in the sunlight with sunglasses I can actually read my screen

Recently I got my Htc one Silver. Really happy with it. just some minor cosmetic problems and I just discovered that my camera is acting funny in low light situations with flash enabled. I get some kind of orange layer over the picture. Sometimes above the picture sometimes all over.

Camera also takes a long time before the actual picture is taken.

Anyone seen this before?

Hi Guys/gals,

This is my first post on here so firstly Hi all!

Also i appologise because i know nothing about PDA's so if i seem thick its because i am!! :?

So back to the question, does anyone know if there is a micro camera on the market that is bluetooth enabled? I.e i'm think like for a reversing camera in my van? Either 12v or battery pack would be fine. If no one has one on the market yet, im thinking this idea could make someone a few quid!!!

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Captivate Glide] jmpcrx:
Hi guys, I got my glide sent over from the u.s (I'm in the u.k) a few months ago, it was already rooted for me, and as such, I'm wondering what rom and kernal I'm using?

The details I can retreive are:

Android ver 4.0.4

Baseband : I927RUXKJ5

Kernal : 3.1.10-I927UCLG9-CL970642

Build. : IMM67D

Does this give anyone any clues?

Is this the stock ota ics update from at&t?

The phone is a rojers one.

Stock kernal?

Just wondering as was thinking about flashing the litekernal, and not sure if it would work ok with the rom I am using, as this rom is very stable..

Btw cwm is installed etc..

Thanks..

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
So going on the basis that every phone is different I've been struggling with this issue and I'm tired of using my work around, and I need someone's help.

Every ROM I flash (AOSP only) when I send someone a picture message it arrives on their end "blank" Now when I say blank, it is marked as 1kb and the preview in the MMS is a white box. If they save the attachment it is fine and as intended in the gallery... :eek:

After flashing every AOSP ROM with the same results I assumed it was my phone and nothing I can do about it.

UNTIL I flashed JusTun Bean's inverted gapps package and VOILA! It worked just fine... and I have no idea why...

Whenever I flash a new ROM I now put the inverted MMS in the system/app folder and install it until I flash another ROM. :D

So what I need is if anyone has ANY ideas or is able to view the two MMS.apk files and see if there is a difference that stands out I'd be super grateful.

The AOKPMms.apk is the JusTun Bean's Inverted that works.

The AOSPAMms.apk is the ParanoidAndroid Mms that I'm using right now that doesn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
Tonight I wanted to get more detailed versions of all the kernels HTC has released for our phone. I did not want to flash every last boot.img to the device, I also believe old kernels will not functions with new ROM's etc complicating things further.

You may also find yourself with boot.img files which you have no clue of what they are.

So here is my "How to read kernel versions without needing to flash/boot them on a phone" based on things I found with a good Google session.

1)You need to split the boot.img into kernel and ramdisk.

I found jcase posted a nice split script for signed boot.img here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008619

Also for more Windows friendly michfood posted a great script/app package here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2036528

For unsigned boot.img I think you can use scripts like this but I have not tested:

http://linuxclues.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/split-bootimg-python-android.html

2)Lets assume we are going the Linux route with a signed boot.img

Download jcase script and extract to a folder

3)Place your desired boot.img to read next to the jcase script.

4)./split_bootimg.pl boot.img

This will split the boot.img to boot.img-kernel and boot.img-ramdisk. boot.img-kernel still itself is multiple files and we need to further break that up.

5)od -t x1 -A d ./boot.img-kernel | grep "1f 8b 08"

This should list where it finds the gzip magic word

6)dd bs=1 skip=16253 if=./boot.img-kernel | zcat > split_kernel

Using the offset(eg 16253 for 3.0.8 or 16419 for 3.4.10 kernels) found in step 5, if multiple are listed it is likely the first.

7)strings ./split_kernel | grep gcc

Observe the listed strings, you should be able to find the version easily.

Eg:

Linux version 3.4.10-gfb67a50 (root@abm036) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 26 17:34:42 CST 2013

If you are heading down the Windows route with michfood's app package which includes 7zip and Swiss File Knife amongst other apps:

2)STD_unpack.bat boot.img

3)bin\sfk166.exe hexfind ./boot/kernel -bin /1F8B08/ -case

Find "hit" for magic word. eg 0x4023 or 0x3f7d

4)bin\sfk166.exe dec 4023

Convert hex to dec. eg 4023 to 16419 or 3f7d to 16253

5)bin\sfk166.exe partcopy ./boot/kernel -fromto 16419 5699584 split_kernel.gz -yes

Where 5699584 is simply the length of the file, split the kernel. ( filesize: bin\sfk166.exe list -size ./boot/kernel )

6)bin\7z.exe -tgzip x -y split_kernel.gz

Decompress the kernel.

7)bin\sfk166.exe find split_kernel gcc

Observe the listed strings, you should be able to find the version easily.

Eg:

Linux version 3.4.10-gfb67a50 (root@abm036) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 26 17:34:42 CST 2013

I think you must have an OTG-usb cable to read external drives.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashik992:
You must need an OTG cable. GND and Sense are shorted in an OTG cable but when you are using an femel to femel converter GND or Sense(I don't remember which one) is open so this is not gonna work. You can cut the micro USB's plastic cover and short them to make it working as a OTG. Do on your own risk.

Maybe your kernel have some problem, try a another for seeing what's happen, and you can use Stickmount apk also

and you need to use an OTG adapter or cable

4 now this thread is for your feedback on the pic- and maybe we can all contact the Vignette developer to add this future.

best settting is camera MP/4 (8mp-> 2mp, 12mp-3mp)

this mod is doing the same nokia 41mp pureview does, saves big full deteil pic to smoller dimmension and this way every 1 pix has more detail.

if u take 2mp pic from the camera its only captures 2mp deteils pic and then sends it to sony's stupid image processing and removes all the fine details and makes over sharpening noisey image.

Hmmm...without apk or that modified code that you use, this thread should be in GENERAL Section....beside, your are using paid apps for this modding, therefore it will be illegal to share the modded apk here....

either ask mod to move this to proper section or its going to be locked by them....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
OK- little more info:

It can't be done on the stock camera because it only take pic by the size we choose and saves it, so It cant be done.

For now It only can be done on vignette because it creates bitmap to store the pic from camera at the chosen size and then it is ready for applying the affects (frame, HDR, vignette , etc') and then it sends it to decode and store.

during this process's I manually changed the bitmap size for the 8mp so the bitmap that's receives the 8mp pic from camera module will be decoded at 1632*1224 size only.

same can be done for any MP camera- in vignette there is all the camera MP option that are available in all the new android phones(12,13,16 mp..)

there is no such stage at the stock camera - this is why me and Rizal couldn't do it at first.

so this mode can be supported ant any phone (5mp +) that are supported in vignette app that you can see at the Play store :)

I need that you post good feedback that you like this mod and want it to be implemented and then maybe we can ask the developer to add this mod to next update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:

Nice guide my friend :good:

You should change the title OP to Guide lolz :D

Btw OFF TOPIC

I want to change the code of sony which can only store images 2mb (Compression), but the vignette can store images up to 5Mb using 8MP, vignette does not take the driver from sony (camera.semc.so) stand-alone vignette I mean that code of application is received, but the application of the sony camera, although we change the code in it, we still will not get a perfect result, because we need a new driver (camera.semc.so) I got it up to the camera driver can store images up to 7mb using 8MP, but it makes the camera extremely chaotic and all features in camera doesn't function

Any idea my friend? For changed some code in SemcCameraUI?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
How are You my friend?

I will explain why vignette can store 5 MB pics from 8MP, because this app receives the 8MP at 2mb file like our SemcCameraUI and past it on bitmap at the same size and making it ready to apply the filters from the vignette app, and then it stores it and we see large file of 4~5 mb, the quality of vignette and SemcCameraUI will be the same because both of them received the same processed image from the camera driver.

and we know the poor Sony image processing that take all the good details from the photo and make it like 1MP pic up-scaled to 8MP photo.

so only option for us is to make app that will capture full size 8MP/12MP photo, receive it and decode it to MP/4 (8/4=2mp, 12/4 = 3mp etc'...)

I could't find this stage in our SemcCameraUI, so If you can help.. :)

I am graphic designer and I worked on Wide Format Printers at company which prints customers digital photos up to 44' width and I can confirm that Phone camera doesn't need more then good 2MP photos- you can print 2MP photos at excellent quality up to A3 size!

No need to have 8MP pic at 7~8 mb - it cant contain the resolution of real 8MP camera anyway with its fine detail.
