[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriannharris:
Hi all,

Love this forum and the roms, just have a couple of questions I hope someone can help with.

Just flashed Dev-connection ROM and is so far amazing, battery drain massively improved from Ivendors other ROM. Also moved to Mauritius and poor reception has given rise to phantom key presses, PKF sorted that. Big thanks.

With this ROM I have lost ability to tether my laptop, tried USB, WiFi and Bluetooth with no joy?

What would I gain from installing K^ kernel, I think better battery maybe?

My album art shows in Gallery app, have done .nomedia in most folders, did that in music folder and Apollo couldn't see music, any suggestions?

I love the new camera, 3.0 I believe it is, can't find the version number. I saw it had a voice activated option but can't work out how to trigger it? I seem to get an error when it initiates though, Google search has stopped, I'd that relevant?

Also some of my music Apollo and other apps split my albums up, I assume this is something to so with the track metadata, Paulo Nutini Sunny Side Up is in three folders but in file explorer is correctly just one.

Any help is most appreciated

Thanks again Devs for all the hard work. :) :thumbup:

Hi, i think if you post this in the Thread of the ROM, then the specialists will see it. They can help you for sure.

EDIT: Aaaaaahhh, sorry. I saw to late, you're junior member, so unable to post there. Should i post your Text in the right thread? Athen you can read the answers???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriannharris:
Thanks have been trying to answer some q&a stuff to up my posts but not much yet.

If you think it's OK to post in the thread that would be great thanks. :) I don't feel fair pm the Devs, so grateful for their work though.

An answer to tethering would be great I just emigrated and my mobile tether is my only internet connection at the moment!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
Hi, thanks for your report... wifi tethering is fixed in the next update, so you have to wait only a bit :) ...but for me on R1 usb tether worked fine (didn't tested Bluetooth tethering)

for music disappear in apollo you should remove .nomedia file from music directory, that file tells to the media scanner to not scan that folder, and music is media as images, and apollo splits your music according to metadata, you are right!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriannharris:
Honestly, USB tether worked for 5 min and now I can't get the laptop to see it. Can't wait for the update.

Should have explained clearer I know about the .nomedia, how can I stop my album art showing in gallery?

Any knowledge on the Camera, or K^kernel?

This foot the info on WiFi ap.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktulu84:
about the camera i never tried hands free option, btw with k^kernel you could have more battery life and more free ram. i do not use apollo so i don't know where it saves the album art... if it saves in the same directory as the music i think that you can't do nothing (you may try to not download album art with apollo, i don't know if there is an option) if you need wifi tethering you have to install another rom till the next ADC update.. you can try one of krislibaeer roms, or cm10.1 by davidteri, or erik's liquidsmooth
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriannharris:
Think I sussed the album art, I don't think the music players are using them they are just left over from copying the folder from windows which places JPEGs in the folders deleted pictures and music players still have thumbnails. In future will just transfer mp3s only.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
About album art:

Most of the time are the pictures stored inside the mp3 file. Just like those I3D tags (or similair)

I think these files you mention are thumbails. Just delete them from the gallery

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yuyuyuyu1:
I recently received a T-Mobile Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889) and I can't seem to connect to T-Mobile's network. I checked the IMEI and according to T-Mobile, it is clean. I cannot make or receive calls/texts as I receive a "Not Registered by Network" error every time. Under the "Status" section in the Settings menu shows my phone number, but it says "Out of Service" under Service State and "Unknown" under Mobile Network Type as seen in the pictures. I was wondering if anyone could help me resolve this issue...Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] You_got_owned123:
Did you check with Tmobile directly? Third party sites that check IMEI often don't work. If you have service -service bars and data and still doesn't work, your IMEI is probably blocked. I can't think of anything else. Try to switch to different ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GottaProblemBro:
Try to replace the SIM card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] culua:
Try check the apn?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Are you just in a bad area for T-Mobile? Have you tried in a different location, or another phone from the same spot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yuyuyuyu1:
I tried changing SIM, the APN, and I know I am not in a bad T-Mobile area as I receive service on my S2 in the same spot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GottaProblemBro:
You can also try to reflash stock firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yuyuyuyu1:
How would I do that and would that void the warranty?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GottaProblemBro:
You have to get the tar file and flash it via Odin. I don't believe it will void the warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamalkhaffaf:
I have a question. If u have note 2. Then your factory warranty should be valid and cover ur type of problem. Since u have a S2 then use it temporary and use ur Samsung warranty to send the phone over.

But I have another suggestion. Take ur phone to store and let them use another sim and see what happens. Otherwise just send ur phone. And if happen that u have tmobile warranty then u will send them just ur phone without battery cover + battery it self + all accessories that came with the phone. And tmobile will send a brand new device in sealed box :)

I really hope that I helped. Thats all I know.

Good luck:beer:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Here are my thoughts on the galaxy S4 camera:

Pros

1. 13 megapixel camera

2. Front and Back camera at same time

3. Some great new shooting modes like sound and shot, animated photo, etc..

4. Gallery has air-view

5. Gallery is easy to use and share photos

Cons

1. No paper artist

2. No filters from S3 (fall colors, solarize, etc)

3. Gallery does not have awesome scrolling view features from Note 2 and spiral view. EDIT: this feature is there.

4. Drama shot never works like Samsung advertises it to.

5. No Macro shot from S3 for close up shots.

Please add both pros and cons that you are finding when using the S4 camera and gallery.

Also, what features would you like to have seen added into the S4 camera and gallery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mutelight:
It has the spiral view.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Really? I'll try and find it now. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mutelight:
Glad you found it. :D

Regarding the macro shots, I have taken some very close up shots. Are you referring to a specific mode that you put the phone in via the software?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Ya.

There used to be a macro setting in the software where close up shots would look great. I have tried to take multiple close up shots of my S3 to try and sell it online and could not get an in focus shot of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] berfles:
It doesn't need a macro mode, it adjusts automatically.

That's with a simple desk lamp for lighting, otherwise it would be even better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
I think I'm just going to have to mess with it some more.

I've been getting blurry shots
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
loving the camera a lot better than iphone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
I'm getting a *lot* of blurry shots. Is there some way to turn on stabilization or something? Most of my shots come out blurry unless I hold the camera *very* still. Seems like it should do a better job of this sort of thing.

For reference, I was a technical photographer -- I aided photographers in taking better shots by using their hardware in a better way. I know a good amount about photography, but I never really cared much for smartphone photography. One thing I'll say is that I've used many smartphones before to take pictures and none really came out as naturally shaky/blurry as these. Coming from an iPhone 5 I could hold both up and take the same picture and the iPhone 5 is clear and the one from the GS4 is blurry.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

WELL I feel stupid. Didn't actually look through the options yet...found the stabilization options under photo and video. Works like a charm :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
weird, i was the complete opposite... to me lighting was important. but my pictures arent as noisy. i guess i also make sure to let it focus a bit longer which the iphone didnt have to do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Thanks! Me too
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
I'm pretty happy with the close up shots. I can't get the camera to focus as close as I could on my rezound, it still did well. This little bastard wouldn't let me get any closer to him though lol. And of course this app degrades picture quality :banghead:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
I really like the camera. The shots are crips and clear when you have ample lighting. One gripe with this camera is the settings don't stick. I have set anti shake and auto night detection and they turn themselves off. I even had the camera change itself back to 9mp from 13mp. The gallery I just discovered that if you have pictures saved to the SD card and attempt to create some organization by moving them into albums the pictures get moved off of the SD card and back onto the phone internal storage. This creates a folder called "pictures" with all the albums inside as individual folders titled whatever you called the albums. You can't move this "picture" folder back to the SD card as it seems to be locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
I'm at the beach today missing the beaches/snow filter from the S3.... another feature missing from the S4 camera

Also, does anyone know how you get the two picture at once thing from taking the picture automatically?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EvoRocker:
How do you do the spiral gallery view?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsheedy:
Open your gallery, select albums (top left) and it's an option there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMavic:
Another con:

Timer is disabled on most shooting modes. Sometimes I feel creative and want to dry the drama shot, and doing it by yourself is impossible. Having 10 seconds to stage the shot would be awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BzBz:
lots of settings to work through on this camera. i don't think there can be many scenarios that the s4 camera cannot adjust for. was never much into changing the settings since a camera on a phone never had high expectation from me, but i might actually take more time to dig into and learn the options on the s4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Has anyone figured out how to take legit drama shots?

I get a good one about every ten tries.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuki82:
I've done a bunch with my son. Best advice is to make sure only your subject is the only thing going to move. Hold the phone as still as possible, let your subject just run through the scene.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orangelight99:
My recommendation......

I find even in medium-low light night mode can be help dramatically reduce graininess and sharpen details. I also lower the exposure the full 2 stops. I typically avoided night mode like the plague on other phone cameras cause it typically boosted the iso and things just started to look terrible. It's an essential feature on the s4 imo and improves the low light performance significantly.

The only other comment is I am little disappointed with the bit of shutter lag introduced compared to my old s3. Hope samsung improves this and some of the other laggy/choppy elements in the ui and the MAPS app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncope562:
I find I have a lot of trouble getting it to focus on my 2-year-old son. He moves a lot and so most pics even on Sport mode are fuzzy. If I can get him to sit still long enough for the camera to focus on him, it takes awesome photos, but that is a very rare thing. The best thing I have found for it is to have the best photo and let it take the multiple and then usually one of those is decent.

Question on best photo mode: anyone know of a way to make best photo move the selected photo automatically to the SD (where I keep my photos so they don't get lost when I flash new ROMs, etc) without having to do this manually w/ a file manager?

My other problem with the Gallery is there is no way to get rid of photos from Picasa or whatever once they find there way to my Gallery. I turned off sync and they were still there. This is just a personal peave, not a big deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
yeah, disable picasa sync..then go into settings, application manager, scroll to all..find gallery...wipe the data. it won't pull from picasa anymore
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
It's amazing how close up you can get to the subject and still be in focus. It's practically a microscope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JohnDaddyo:
anyone using Handcent...

When I get a picture, I select to view it in QuickPic. It tries to load

but, then defaults to the stock Gallery. The main reason I like QuickPic

is that it will show pics and vids at full brightness.

Also, it's like a crap shoot trying to find the video cam setting to send

in mms for Handcent. Where the heck is it?? LOfreakingL!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edlowjr:
Auto Download

I have a few pictures in the Gallery marked as "auto download". I cannot delete them. Any ideas how they got there and how to remove them? I was able to find them on Google + web site and remove them, but still cant remove the from the phone. No trash can when selected as in other pics, and nothing in the menu key except slideshow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chuki82:
Try clearing cache and/or data for the gallery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
That should work. Also unsync picasa and Google photos from your Google account in settings. That worked for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
I think what's happening here is that you can't have both of these modes active at the same time. If auto-night detection is turned on, it will immediately disable anti-shake, and vice-versa. I suspect that both features may use similar functionality, thus only one OR the other at any time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
The last few times I've not enabled auto night detection and it is still randomly disabling anti shake, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trishawthomas:
I am never used Galaxy s4, Thank you for share features of s$ camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] agroupoffatgirls:
Well the stock camera is pretty awesome, I loved the features of it and how well it worked. The gallery was a different story, it was laggy-er than my old S1, it would never show the preview pictures, etc. But now I'm running PACMAN ROM and WoooHoooo it is flying now (I have the stock google camera/gallery now)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennelly:
The camera on this phone is amazing...I have not found one thing about the camera I didn't like so far. I will be doing some more tests and check out all the modes later on in depth

Enjoying cm10.1 via bokbokans hybrid bootloader, but having a strange problem. Seems the "..." context menu trigger is missing from several apps. First one I noted was Calendar. Then Ad away. Now Tasker. I cannot get into preferences menus in these programs. I worked around this for a couple of them by using Tasker tasks calling preference menus via Secure Settings launch activity setting, but there are some programs that is not an option.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any idea of a fix?

Using a Nook HD+ tablet. And the problem is not there when I boot into B&N stock ROM, only happens when I'm in CM10.1

I'm S-ON, hboot 1.54, CID=VODAP001.

As I understand things, i cant S-OFF because i'm on hboot 1.54 and Revone doesnt work on 1.54.

I cant use SuperCID because i'm S-ON

I cant flash any firmware unless the CID=VODAP001

(and now I wont get any OTA's as i went ahead an flashed a new ROM)

So i'm slightly stuck until either someone finds a way to S-OFF the hboot 1.54 or we track down a nandroid backup or RUU for CID=VODAP001

tl;dr - reinstalled google voice account, now cant choose between #'s when calling out

Hello everyone. First post here after many moons lurking. Thanks for the great board. I've always found solutions to my issues without the need for a new thread, but today I'm stumped after searching forever for a solution. So I thought I''d ask you fine folks for some assistance.

When checking a voicemail this morn in google voice I kept getting a 'your password is incorrect' error. Googl voice was running really slow so I decided to delte the account and set it up fresh again hoping it would clear any bugs out....

Well...all seems to working again accept a feature I use every day, the option that pops up when calling that lets you choose between using you google voice # or your sprint #. Seems that everything now is going through my sprint # and that's no good for my business calls. Has anyone encountered this? Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] digginthaM7:
Well despite the overwhelming help(yawn) from you folks I found the solution and will contribute to the board by sharing.

Found solution at a goog board that I cannot post a link to here...

If that link wont post, what happens is that during the setup of GV on the phone, if you don't skip the initial step it will disable the 'Making Calls' section of GV effectively sending everything through your carrier #.

So the fix is delete your GV account within the phone, then detach the phone # from your GV account settings within the normal browser not the app, then re-setup your phone with GV.
