[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
By a little longer, are we talking about 350mA charger you have in there? If so, we are talking about close to 27 hours to charger ZL9300 :( Plus, another thing I find bad with these charger, their ready light indicator is based on measuring the voltage of the battery to determine full charge, and it's not accurate. The mod I mentioned in my other thread for a ZL charger, whenever I get a full light on either with Zerolemon or Samsung or Anker batteries - when plugged into a phone it never 100% and have to charge up more...
[One (M7) General] davedigerati:
Or is mine bad?!? Seriously, is no one else getting this problem with blown highlights and over-exposure, or are y'all accepting it? I bought this phone for its "superior camera" and while yes it can take pictures in low light I was not willing to give up taking good pictures in good lighting >8(

I installed Android Revolution 8, then 9, to get the "updated" camera- stock kernel, Dev. Ed.

Attached photo taken with stock camera with auto settings, no custom settings, no hdr (though that has been disappointing as well). Oh and white balance was about 5-800 Kelvin too yellow as well... (sigh)

So do I send it back to get cameras as good as everyone else's or start watching the Sony rumors again? Because my 18 month old Galaxy Note could get this picture right...
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
The camera is awesome, its just you have to play around with the settings. Cange the sharpness to -1 and contrast to +1 for day light pictures. Also focus manually before taking pics.
[One (M7) General] john291:
What were u expecting from a phone camera?

If you want realy good pictures you need to buy a good standalone camera..

The time isnt still there (and will be for along time) before phone cameras can compete with good standalone cameras...;)
[One (M7) General] Alpha-Wat3rloo:
I also find the camera disappointing. I love the software features like Zoe, but I personally can't rely on this camera to quickly capture a good picture. And I don't think the low light performance is very good either.
[One (M7) General] jeeptrash:
Those pictures do not look nearly as good as pictures I have taken with mine,using stock settings. Here's a couple for example. The pictures look a lot better in original format as well in full resolution.
[One (M7) General] godutch:
I love this camera, it lacks the raw specs but it manages to capture those special moments very well, better than even a camera.
[One (M7) General] ext109:

[One (M7) General] clsA:
My camera is working fine too

it's not perfect but it works
[One (M7) General] davedigerati:
John, my expectations are to not move BACKWARD in quality. Trust me I carry my X100 half the time, but the other half this phone was supposed to fill in and it doesn't cut it.

It's your phone also blowing highlights and having white balance problems? I'm trying to understand if this behavior is typical or not.
[One (M7) General] NxNW:
The overexposure thing is a little annoying it's true. HDR mode seems to recover lost shadow detail but doesn't seem to help with blown-out highlights.

Setting contrast to +1 is definitely *not* going to help it.

When you know there will be difficult highlights, setting exposure to -1 in normal non-HDR mode seems like the only response. Not ideal I know. Especially when making such a simple, temporary adjustment requires a lot of fiddling around with menus.
[One (M7) General] backfromthestorm:
Yep, been playin with my camera all day, had no work in. Found the adjustment settings werent fine enough - swung too much one way or the other on +/- 1.

And indoor pictures where theres any daylight showing (doors/windows etc) caused the images to be washed out, even when focused on the lightest part first.

I think the hardware is fine, just some software improvements are needed. So its not all bad.
[One (M7) General] john291:
Hello yes it have the white balance problems sometimes..

I think they need to finetune the software better..

But it can also make some nice pictures too...;)

But a fine tuned software would be great..

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

By the way this was a simple picture i took out of my window..

Here i like the shadow detail and the natural look of it..
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
The camera does over expose yes. If you want an easy to use camera. Get the S4/iPhone 5.
[One (M7) General] Terrorantula:
Can you control, ISO, shutter speed, Exposure compensation?

Turn ISO off automatic and set it to like 50
[One (M7) General] john291:
You can control iso but you cant get below 100..

The shutter speed cant be controlled manual..

The exposure can be set.
[One (M7) General] davedigerati:
ISO & exposure yes, you can, and even better if you want to monkey with settings for every shot I recommend FV-5 which I use frequently

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5mbGF2aW9uZXQuYW5kcm9pZC5jYW1lcmEucHJvIl0.

The point of my post though is not to find workarounds but to see if this is COMMON, or my camera chip has issues.

I'm puzzled by the lack of complaints out there and feel like the photo I posted was a good example of average sunny day conditions, done badly. Indoors, low light, we're fine, it's the sunny days that are the issue.

Everyone quiet means either

a) everyone is accepting poor quality sunny day photos

b) my camera has issues and everyone else's is fine

c) everyone is feeling a little bit bad that the camera they were promised would offer 'a great leap in the quality of point-and-shoot photos and video' (http://www.htc.com/www/zoe/) frankly isn't, and reluctant to say so, or

d) other?

So everyone shooting sunny day pics please chime, in I appreciate your input- if your pics are coming out great without clipping I'll start the RMA process, or if yours are getting blown I'll fire up the angry fan-boi machine and pester every HTC channel I can hit with requests for a camera update.

Cheers,

Dave

[One (M7) General] superprelude:
I have posted few times in this forum about disappointing camera or my expectation is too high. Maybe the next HTC software update would fix them. I like the speakers though which is undeniable to be the best. :)
[One (M7) General] Superpiper1972:
Camera is superb.

But it's not all things to all men. If you prepared to fanny around with lighting, settings, angles etc for a photo, and expect a high res masterpiece, this isn't your bag. If you want a point and shoot camera which takes nr unbeatable pictures quickly, then this is it.

Mega bright lights will screw any photo up. Your picture is remarkable given the phone was able to cope at all.

I updated to jelly bean and now i turned on usb debugging and when i connect my phone to pc it starts in mtp mode and i can't switch it to charge only which i think i should do to fix this problem but i can't do it (change to charge only)

this is what i see in the notification center:

and thats what i see when i tap the "USB Connected - Click to change settings" :

Please tell me how to disable mtp mode or switch to charge only cause adb can't see my device.
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
You can no longer do switching to charge only!

Try unplugging your usb then replugging then reattempt adb type adb devices if the device serial No shows you have adb!

If that still does not work then update your usb drivers!
[HTC One S] LSGio:
fixed the problem by updating the sdk platform tools via android ask manager cause i didn't have the support packages for jelly bean

That'll do it! lol :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ca1ek:
Hi. I'm new to this forums. Do I put this topic in correct place? If not, please move it.

I've got an idea, that could give somekind of port of Google Now for Gingerbread, Froyo and others. I have Jelly Bean on my tablet, and I really like it. Google Now works through browsers, so you really can do a voice search and get that card the same way as in Jelly Bean, but it would still be better if we would develop an app. Surely, that's possible.

We could make simple port of Google Now for legacy versions of android this way:

- Firstly, pick up that what's said with google's voice recognition

- Then, do this as normal search

- but, detect the Knowledge Graph card, and "cut it out"(hide other parts of google search, except the card)

- and show this card ready, looking like on Jelly Bean.

Some people can say that is stupid because you can just do normal google search as I said. This port surely wouldn't be so functional. It would allow simplest parts of Google Now. Maybe Google will release API that would allow to get Google Now requests through JSON, but that wouldn't probably get made by Google.

After spending months reading about it here and elsewhere, time has come for me to make a decision and by muy GPS solution.

Before pushing the botton I would like to check one more time with you what is currently the best solution, possibly getting some Italy specific input.

SW:

-my understanding is that the "best" currently on the mkt is tomtom3. Correct?

More specific questions:

-I mostly drive within a city (Milan), it is still the best SW?

-I just got my drivers licence and I would really appreciate if my navigator would know the one way roads and not lead me where I can't go... does tomtom do this?

HW:

-my understand is that the best BT GPS is the navman 4400, if you can get it to work with the XDAII (BT problems etc...)

Is this still the case?

Is this the case in Italy?

-My understanding is that I can still receive calls on my BT headset while I am using it... correct?

Thanks!

Chris
[Networking] dave:
I have a Fortuna Clipon GPS, no trouble to use it, both with and without BT tools; moreover autonomy is near 8 hours in BT mode...

I never had problems in Milan, but nobody knows... it depends if our "assessore al traffico" decides to change one way roads during night time... :evil:

Anyway TTN3 in my opinion IS the best choice.

ciao
[Networking] edsub:
I would recommend TomTom 3.

If youre going for a BT GPS, then I would certainly recommend upgrading to ROM 1.72.

Any Bt GPS should work fine.

I bought mine on eBay for approx 104 euro (incl shipping from singapore). It is a dConnex DC-230 (=rebadged Holus GR-230).

For any GPS WAAS/EGNOS support is expecially helpful in cities. Most / all SiRFII based GPS's have this.

next to this I would recommend a decent carkit, NOT just a holder for your device. Two options here:

XDA2 carkit (as sold by Expansys). Bought mine in germany for 140 euro

MDAII / Qtek2020 carkit. Average price in germany now is 175 euro

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] janjannsen99:
These are links to factory images that I have pulled from different sources and have posted here for you guys to use to to restore your tablets to factory out of the box status they all work. Personally tested. If you have any problems its usually a bad download. So just redownload and you should be okay then. I regularly use these files when I experiment and they all work. I will update the thread when new firmwares are released. The latest was released June the 13th and seems to help with the battery drain issues. Im getting 7 hours screen on time now whereas before I was getting maybe 4.

Those files....ALL OF THEM ARE FOR THE N5110 ONLY. N5110 US VERSION ONLY. MEANING THE WIFI VERSION. SO PLEASE PLEASE DONT FLASH THESE TO ANY OTHER DEVICES. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESTROYED DEVICES. You have been warned.

You will lose custom recovery and root access when you flash these, remember its putting your tablet back to how it was when you bought it. The easiest way to regain root access is to use mskips toolkit. Its a great tool and works 100 percent of the time. Hes a highly skilled developer and I stand by everything he puts out so check out his thread in original development and download his toolkit. Another benefit of downloading his toolkit is that it contains the ODIN version you will need to flash these files. So check him out. You wont be disappointed.

Good luck and happy flashing!

Below is a small 6 megabyte file update.zip pushed to United States n5110 devices this morning.

Must be flashed completely stock. This brings your firmware to ueemf2.

REMEMBER THIS IS A PATCH OTA FILE I GRABBED FROM MY DEVICE WHEN IT WAS PUSHED OUT TO MY US N5110. Gotta be completely stock to flash.

Change log for ueemf2 is

"Stability improvements“

Newest firmware released and uploaded check OP FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS. hopefully this will help those of you out of a pickle. Remember restoring to factory stock may remove root access and erase data . It will also replace custom recovery with the standard android recovery. So no complaining about lost stuff...

But this will save you if you borked up your nice shiny tablet. Guaranteed.

My aging old man of a Grandfather, has taksed me with a simple, yet somewhat beleaguering task.

He wishes for a phone, with an acceptable-to-exceptional speakerphone option.

His guidelines are these: Speakerphone that works very well, and inexpensive...

I figured: Someone on XDA in the know, must have a family member who also probably has searched for a phone like this, or something of the such for themselves at somepoint, and was curious if anyone here might know some good choices.

Software doesn't matter particularly, but obviously simpler is better.

Any thoughts community, on a phone that may fit his bill?

I tried filtering through reviews of some phones... but usually most people gripe and complain rather than gratify and compliment so finding a phone that has a great speaker phone review is proving a challenge.

I'm going to continue googling, but any insight from the wonderful community here would be gratefully accepted.

Also, I found this /nexus-10-one-click-toolkit-for-mac.html for example, however, it seems to have an option to lock/ unlock bootloader, download a one click root toolkit etc. etc. This confuses me?

I thought the bootloader had to be unlocked TO root? Is unlocking the bootloader an option? Can I root without unlocking the bootloader? What would you recommend?

I know some people will say that the Nexus 4 is for developers and you should experiment with custom ROMs/Kernels because that's what it's meant for..

But for me, the stock Android experience is completely fine with me, I actually prefer it. I find no reason to root my phone, although it will not "hurt" your phone per se. Just read and get familiar with ADB you'll be fine.

Oh and FYI I've rooted every other device I've owned, ran CM & other ROMs and I think they're cool and all but for me, nothing compares to stock 4.2.2

Just my two cents.
