[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadusa:
Hello! I have a similar problem. There seems to be dust on the sensor (dark spots on photos). Also autofocus isnt working well, macro is not working at all, and picture looks washed out and very smeared. I was thinking of getting a new camera module. Did you solve it like this? Does it autofocus now? Thank you. Also, what happens if I try GD firmwares on a ZD firmware camera?

Cheers

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thuglifesk:
thanks 4 this. Ordered a few
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Hotbread:
Is this screen protector the "rubbery" soft gel type? It looks like it has the "self heal" advertisement, so it's probably not the hard type right?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
I would say it is soft, are you worried about finger drag like with the zagg invisible shields have, though i have read the Skinomi protectors are OK, non or little drag, i will have to wait till i get my Xtremeguard to find out.

John.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Hotbread:
Yep. I used to have full body kit from best skins or something for my iphone 4. I hated the orange peel effect and the resistance when swiping.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Tinderbox (UK):
Yeah, same with me, i will not buy another zagg until i hear they have fixed the problems, for the price of the Xtremeguard i will take the chance.

John.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lthary:
Thanks, I have ordered 4 full body kit, hope are good, any way they can't be worse then one of eBay, and with 80 off you can't beat that:p

How's the quality on these?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lunarken:
i had it just for my s4 back... at first quite alot bubbles... after i woke up, most of them r gone left the stubborn ones.... if not its almost perfect
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Dannar:
I've been using these on all my devices. I had an HTC thunderbolt, a nexus tab, and a S4. My original S4 had a USB port that died, so I was given a new one a few weeks back. I am currently in the process of getting more.

They do add a bit of that soft rubbery feeling. It's not game breaking though. You won't notice after so long. Coming back to the bare gorilla glass of the S4 feels too sensitive and resistance free. I also feels it smudges easier this way too.

The extremeguard protectors I have on my tbolt and nexus (applied sometime in mid 2012) are still there. The bubbles really do go away given time, and neither guard shows any scrapes or cuts...lord knows between moving, a 13 month old, and being my daily driver, at least one of them ought to show some battle damage.

The only ghetto thing about these things is that you have to make your own solution for the wet apply. Just add a drop of dish soap to a bowl of water. And it can be challenging to get it to set right. My advice would be to worry about placement, not bubbles. The bubbles will work out over time, but if you've got hang over from a crappy placement, you'll be annoyed for the rest of the time it's on your device.

I never took one of these off, so I can't speak to whether or not it peels of paint or finish. My backplate is from my original S4, and has an xtreme guard on if still...and I have no plans on removing it.

So...with the OP's coupon code, 2 bucks for 2 of these bad boys, plus free shipping? Yeah, that's a no brainer. Hop on it!

Hi,

can anybody help me with mu Galaxy S Duos:

I have Baseband S7562DDBMD1 build XXBMF2, rooted by one click root pro, my device is so slow and need help from you about flashing Kernel or installing custom ROM so that I can make it faster or if possible I want to install custom JB ROM as am a new in this seeking expert's help step by step guide would be very much appreciated. screenshot attached.

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] johnyvlad:
HY,i cant help you about the ROM because i dont have your phone and dont know how you have rooted it(S-OF/S-ON),but about the kernell,witch i think will solve your problems,you can flash a recovery,and then wipe cache,dalvik,etc to clean your device,and then flash the SPECIAL kernell for your device,restart,and wait a few moments for it to accomodate .IF you want more details let me know!
[General Questions and Answers] prabinbhattarai:
Hi, Thanks for the response, I have rooted it with the help of UnlockRoot Pro (using a PC) and flashed recovery (found in Galaxy S Duos S7562 Droidiser Rooting Kit) with Odin through a pc, that's it i have done, now pls advice me if I only flash a Kernel with Odin is this enough for overclocking with SetCPU application or do I need to flash a custom ROM aswell, in both ways kindly advice me appropriate Kernel and if needed ROm for me. I hope you understand my problem I want to make my device faster anyway.. or suggest any other way so that I can meet my objective.

Thanks !
[General Questions and Answers] johnyvlad:
HY,installing kernells is a good way of making your device faster,and more reliable,but if you are rooted,you can overclock your device directly if th processor allows that,just head over to paly store and download rom toolbox,there you will find anything you ever wanted ,as for the roms thery are good options as well,you can see what roms are available for your device from an app called goo manager.I hope that I helped you.

I have 2 pre launch models I9505 with extremely old software (and a non-secure bootloader ! )

Could someone point me in the right direction on HOW to extract the partition layout and all firmware related files ?

both devices are on different software

1st device hasn't even got TouchWiz yet, it was delivered on Google software and looks like this:

2nd device has this in download mode:

Can someone help me ?

Obviously this is an effort to get a modded bootloader which will allow us to install the FULL I9505G firmware on our I9505 devices !!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
You must dd all of the things in /dev/block/ I.E.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2.img

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] MichelN:
Look at the phone model, sammy might have used other chips for the pre-release.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
You mean physically? Yeah engineering devices will often look different than the official release. But usually they have most of the same guts. In this case I am concerned that they would have used an unsigned bootloader and a blown (or not blown as the case may be) efuse. But if that bootloader is signed and insecure... Ooooh baby we could have some fun with that. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] karoolus:
I'll try that as soon as i can, but the devices are at work.. so i guess it'll have to wait.. and the hardware is the same, those devices are used to test firmwares and applications ;)

They look different because the design was still confidential

I know both devices will allow flashing the GED software, but i bricked 2 already :( it's a tricky flash procedure :/
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Fenny:
Make backups of those partitions for us before you try any of this. :)

Next, Load the Google edition ROM.

So here would be my method for changing partition layout: boot to a custom recovery adb shell in. Copy the contents of /sbin/ to /system/sbin/. Make a backup using nandroid. Unmount /system/, use parted to resize system to the size in your pit. (You may have to mkfs ext2 before it will do this, if so, just mkfs ext4 after). Advanced restore your system backup to your now smaller partition. Now, dd all of the things after your system partition except the data partition to your sdcard or to your internal storage (risky, back these up to your computer just in case). Proceed to delete, readd, and dd restore all of the partitions until you get to the recovery partition, this is where it is tricky. Delete the partition before the recovery partition (noting the next available block.) Recreate the previous partition in the bounds of the recovery partition. DD the recovery image into that space. Recreate the previous partition again, where it should be. One of two things will happen here. Your pit will immediately take effect, overwriting the partition table, and you will have to boot to recovery, and DD restore your images and nandroid, or you it won't, and you will continue on. Now we need to be in normal mode again, so make sure your ROM is rooted. From the normal rom, delete the recovery partition, and move it to where it should be. Boot back to recovery now. Proceed to move the rest of the partitions, and restore your nandroid to restore the cache, etc.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] warwolfx0:
I have a i9505G and the bootloaders is still secure

the pic you sent look to be downloader mode

Send a pic of the screen when you do "adb reboot bootloader"

or hold both volup+voldwn during power up

when need to get that secure boot to disable

look at my Signature for how to dump your rom, that should help

since the partition layout may be different i would like to make sure.

btw are you sure you didn't just get a clone, there has been a few copies out know that look like the real thing.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] karoolus:
I'm sure that the partition layout between i9505 and i9505G are different, the pit files don't match!

I'll look into dumping the rom, although i have my hopes on some tool i found this weekend ;)

and a clone ? dude, are you serious ? i've had these devices since somewhere in february..

I pm'd him and asked about it (in dutch language) and he wrote that 1 of the 2 devices died and the other device he needed to give back. However he has a tool i can't tell much about. But if it works we can do alot good things with it.

Please do NOT start asking ETAs. It's not dev specific - forum rules - and will be removed if I see any more. Thank you for your cooperation.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] MichelN:
This topic should be locked, karoolus does not have anything. First he shows pictures of a phone, when he is almost at the extraction point he suddenly needs to give the device back. As for the tool he has (or what he say he has) it was a pit signer that signs pit files with the samsung signature.

Clearly fake! close topic please.

[Nokia Lumia 920] fario78:
Hello. Monday I bring the lumia 920, I read in many forums that lasts almost anything, that's true, how hard you to you with normal use and moderate? come from a hox and lasted a whole day without problems.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Gnarfsan:
So far it easily lasts a day for me. I have 2 gmail accounts, one hotmail account and a facebook account on sync.

So I thinkt the battery life is pretty decent. But if you are a heavy user, the battery will not last a day.

I also do not regret buying this phone, comming from a Galaxy Note II. Although, the camera is a little disappointing, the design is beautiful, and the performance is smooth as butter.
[Nokia Lumia 920] aaki_rocker:
i seriously didnt get this ??
[Nokia Lumia 920] dxdy:
LOL "the camera is a little disappointing"

did you see cameras from other phones??? for me Lumia 920 have best camera (if not count 925 or 1020 and pureview 808)
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Are you serious. The camera in the 920 has been compared to many professional SLR cameras for quality and has been on par with them. Until the other two newer Lumias got released this camera was the best on the market for a phone. It's best ability is low light however. There is no other phone that can take pics in the low light levels this phone does.
[Nokia Lumia 920] oceansaber:
He probably meant from his expectations, since the camera on the Lumia 920 was touted so highly. I have one, and TBH it's a great camera, especially given that it's on a mobile phone, but not mindblowingly game changing.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Gnarfsan:
I come from a Galaxy Note 2.

What I don't like about the Lumia 920 camera:

It does not meassure light properly where I click. It only focusses unlike the Note 2 and the iPhone. I get a lot of pictures of people with dark faces, which has never been a problem on my previous phones.

It's incredibly slow compared to the Note 2, which is almost instant.

The pictures lack contrast, and often look slightly out of focus.

I had expected it to be at least on par with the Note 2 (which has the same camera as the GS3)

These are my experiences with the stock camera app. I can't wait to try the Pro Cam app though.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Gnarfsan:
Can you share a link or something? Because in all the reviews that I have read, noone have compared it to a SLR. In fact, many of them have been disappointed with the daylight performance when compared to other flagship phones launched that fall.

The only times I have seen a anyone comming up with a statement remotely like yours is when testing the Nokia 808 or the Lumia 1020.

Edit: To back up these wild claims:

DP Review:

Unfortunately, the 920’s daylight performance is only OK. There’s at least as much noise as much of the competition, if not more. So much engineering has clearly gone into the 920’s camera unit that we’d hope for class-leading sensor performance, but it seems to be middle of the pack.

http://connect.dpreview.com/post/9128863653/nokia-lumia-920-camera-review-first-look

The Verge:

To most eyes, the images look a little washed out and don’t "pop," with not enough warm tones.

http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/1/3584486/nokia-lumia-920-review

Slashgear:

with bonus comparison to the Samsung Galaxy S III and see how diverse the photos can be. These color variations as well as the end result of photos that with one device appear to be much sharper than the Lumia 920 mean that we’ve got software at work here that attempts to create for you a finished image

http://www.slashgear.com/att-nokia-lumia-920-review-03255516/

Techno Buffalo:

Overall, it’s comparable to the iPhone 5 camera, but I prefer the iPhone 5 because it generally offered sharper photos.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/reviews/nokia-lumia-920-review/

Engadget:

but that performance has somehow cost your well-lit images a degree of detail you might not want to give up.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nokia-lumia-920-review/

It’s pretty clear that the Lumia 920′s image sensor is nothing special, as it looks just about the same as the lower-end Lumia 810.

[Nokia Lumia 920] plasljivko:
Last weekend my Galaxy S III was stolen, and I had to buy a new phone asap. With a little time to think it through I took a chance with Lumia 920 and I can confirm that, in every aspect, Galaxy S III makes better daily photos. However, Lumia 920 supposed to shine in low-light segment, but unfortunately didn't have time to test that. Overall, so far good phone experience.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Laurentius26:
All the reviews of the Nokia 920 are done with the software error when the Lumia 920 was getting on the market.

Now we have the Amber update so all these reviews are a little outdated isn't?

Fact is, Nokia Lumia 920 has a Carl Zeiss lens and optical image stabilization, one of the reasons I bought the Lumia.

The optical lens is an very important factor of taking a good picture, besides that optical image stabilization is awsome.

Carl Zeiss does have a big name in camera lenses.

Edit; Lol I'm getting a bit of topic I see, as topic started about the battery. :o
[Nokia Lumia 920] Gnarfsan:
The debate here started before the Amber update. I haven't had much use of the camera since then. But the few pictures that I have taken since then are def. not up to SLR standards. Btw. optics do not matter if the rest isn't good enough to back it.

On a side note, I'm using my Galaxy Note 2 today, and damn is it a laggy mess when compared to the Lumia 920 over all (Not talking about the camera here). And it even has 4x1.600 Mhz cores. Wtf.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Laurentius26:
I know, and I didn't say The Lumia 920 camera is up to SLR standards.

A phone has to be flat so the sensor can't be big as a SLR.

But the lens and optical image stabilization do matter if

you compare the Nokia camera with other phones manufactured.

It's a breaktrough.

But again I'm off topic lol. ;)
[Nokia Lumia 920] Gnarfsan:
I agree that it matters, but the end results from my Galaxy Note 2 have been better. So with the Note 2 I get sharper pictures and it takes them the exact moment that I press the camera button which is often a very important feature if you want to get the right motive. It also meassures light at the right target and not the sky.
[Nokia Lumia 920] boril:
Hi,

With amber update and nokia pro cam focus is better and measures light more correct than before it.
