[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
My phone seem to have unfortunately picked up some small scratches around the lens, mainly in the black border but nothing in the middle. Will that effect its performance?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
Judge for yourself. Here's a picture with my scratched up lens cover:

And here it is without the lens cover:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaytronics:
Yes it will. [Edit] it could. A scratch will [Edit] could distribute light through the lens in an improper way if on the outer part of it. Instead of light going directly into the lens it will do that and come through it in a sideways like action. Making the picture look washed out. As seen in the picture above.

I do wish we had a way to cover the lenses until we are ready to snap pictures. Like some manual slide apparatus. Or even one that opens when the camera app is activated. Would be kind of cool.

But, I would say just keep your phone in a case and your pockets as clean and clear as possible.

And like my wife had found out the hard way, do not leave the phone unprotected at the beach. Put it in a ziplock bag or something of that nature. Any way, just my 2¢ for the day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
I don't like cases, so I just ordered a new back plate from ebay
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
The big problem with cases is that many of them seem to cause a problem with the volume rocker in the s3. Are you sure about the reduction in quality, I don't think the black border around the lens captures any light, and I haven't noticed anything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
did you see my pics?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
Yep, but the position (the black border) the scratch may make a difference, here's a image to illustrate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
It will still defract light and cause problems
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaytronics:
Exactly. "the scratch may make a difference" . It won't always make a difference. It all depends on the depth and angle of the scratch. And how light is hitting it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
My pic above is with a lens cover that doesn't have any deep scratches at all, just a lot of very little ones, making the lens cover essentially matte, scattering the light, which results in that blurry pic
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
I have just taken some tests seconds ago against another device and they seems to be nothing wrong. So, I guess this problem is finished.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedort:
A couple of days ago I dropped my phone... there now is a small scratch on the lens, which unfortunately is also seen in my pictures. :( Any way to remove/fill the scratch? I've heard people say that toothpaste might work, but I'm not sure... any other advice?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
I actually made a research about this issue and all expert photographers say the same thing: a scratch in the front element won't effect your photo quality in a noticeable manner. So I think your problem is bigger, probably inside the camera unit. I'm no expert so ask someone else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm sorry but as a hobbiest photographer, I would disagree with this. That's why we have lens caps.

A scratch on the lens or anything transparent that covers the lens can very easily and drastically reduce photo quality. The images on page 1 of this thread show that.

Photos are taken by passing light through the lens. Scratches disturb the light
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
Sure? I have checked the Internet and all I read was that scratches don't do much.

Here is some links:

http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/1095/does-a-lens-scratch-really-impact-your-photos/

http://kurtmunger.com/dirty_lens_articleid35.html
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes I'm sure. They're talking about a single or a couple of minor scratches. And the first article actually does say they DO affect the quality (although not as much as some people might think). And again, I refer you to the images that show the affect of scratches on the S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedort:
Since I got the scratch on my lens in certain light conditions(especially direct sunlight) it creates an annoying blurry lens flare. If I tilt my camera horizontally or vertically the blurriness stays in the same position. I'm sure it's the scratch...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Also here...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/28177041@N03/sets/72157616647751423/

Its worth noting that on the s3 the lens isn't exposed. Its underneath a glass cover
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toshal_tambave:
Is there a way to replace the lens cover incase of a damaged one ? Like Officially through the service centre or by some other way ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Yes it's easy....Google it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toshal_tambave:
Got it !!!! thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
I guess that is why I have not noticed anything wrong with my images, and here is a sample. (By the way the images for the scratched lens previously in this thread were not for an s3)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Says who? Even if not from an s3, they're from a "phone" and they all follow the same principle in that they're not proper cameras with proper lenses so what any photographer says about lens scratches is not really relevant.

Sorry, I don't understand what your blurry photo is proving??please elaborate

Anyway, as already proven, yes scratches do affect photo quality. Seems pretty pointless going on and in about it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Castdeath97:
Sorry for the late reply I had a load of problems with the driving mode. This is a sample image was taken missappropriately so sorry if it wasn't clear enough. I looked everywhere in the recent photos I took but haven't noticed a thing and even comparing it with other devices in direct light, I know there is an effect somehow, but I just want to know if it's worth the replacement as my local repairers can be bad sometimes and expensive.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you can't notice it, its not worth doing. There are going to be scratches that are not noticeable. Its all down to the severity.

It's not the lens on the s3 that gets scratched either, its the small glass lens cover so replacing it shouldn't be expensive. That said if its so minor you cant notice it, wait until you can notice it before replacing it

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalchild:
Hey guys, I would like to buy Xperia Z because of the water proof feature. And I read lots of articles about people who has water damaged Xperia Z despite flaps closed. I want Xperia Z because I want to take photos and record videos underwater (just pool not salty water).

Is this possible to get water damaged despite all the flaps closed? Because It is I will head to HTC One.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Some things to consider:

1. The phone is water resistant, not waterproof.

2. Even a pool defeats the phone certification of water resistance. Below 1 meter of depth, water could force its way in into the flaps, even if flaps are properly sealed.

3. Flaps wear out, so getting a dock to charge and bluetooth headset to avoid opening and closing flaps is advisable.

4. Defects in manufacturing could be a cause of water entering the device.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royalchild:
1- Yeah, I know that. Stili t has IP5/7, 1 meter depth and 30 min. duration.

2- I will use it at 30-50 cm's.

3- Yes, I will buy dock and bluetooth headset.

4- If It has manufacturing problem Sony wouldn't change it?

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
That means the phone is in a boot loop. You need to examine the logcat and find the start of the repeating sequence and start your troubleshooting based on that.
[HTC Incredible S] suliman lbabidi:
can i save the logcat to external file so i can read it better ?

Yes you can. Try:

logcat > logcat.txt

i think it is related to wrong permissions , is there any way to fix permissions without recovery -through shell command for example- ?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] GioGDI:
So the title isnt all to clear, however I am very new to Android. I am wondering if rooting gives you CWM; however I do not wish to have CWM because then I have to flash to get rid of it and if i am correct that means I void my warranty. So could I root with Bin4ry's root method and then manually do what I want to be done without ClockWorkMod?

Thanks in advance and any replys are appreciated ;)

Oh yeah I have a Xperia T!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
no, rooting does not give you recovery.

Flashing roms DOES NOT void your warranty, only unlocking the bootloader will do that.

If you are going to root I recommend that you install CMW, otherwise its very difficult to do things manually. You need to ask yourself "WHy do I want to root my device?" and realise that installing CMW DOES NOT void your warranty.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] GioGDI:
Thanks, I might root later I wanted to just add the Acid Music mod. I'm going to leave it for a while and maybe root after I have had my phone for a year or so.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You were going to try and add that without CMW? wow!! How were you going to do that!

Plus, you will read in that OP that the only way to get rid of that mod is to restore a backup, which requires CMW, and most people have had problems with that mod. Personally I don't believe it works at all and if it actually changes anything then it ruins phone performance. or those who say it does not ruin performance I believe they are only getting a placebo effect.

The only true way of getting a better sound performance is via kernel level tweaks not by flashing these kind of mods.

I suggest you root (If you follow the instructions it is 100% safe) and install recovery. It has NO disadvantages at all. And you can restore your phone back to factory settings via updating by official Sony software so that no warranty is lost and no one will know what you have done
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Stealth Booter:
I agree 100%

I tried Acid Mod twice now.

Not only is it a waste of time but its also a good way to get stuck in boot loop.

If you do try it, you are definitely going to need to backup first.

I've been using CM 10.1 since april and since then I only had problems with my phone. First there's the battery drain, charge couldn't hold up even 8 hours with light texting and some phone calls. Also, listening to music drained the battery faster than ever. Then there's the problem when I couldn't make phone calls or receive text messages and it wasn't network related. I'll try the latest build and give it a chance for the next few days, and if I still have problems I'll have to go back to stock cause I'm going on a trip and I don't want my phone to ignore phone calls and messages.

Hello,

Trying to root a 2nd Gen Kindle Fire.. Using -Bin4ry's Root & -QemuRoot

Although it looked like QemuRoot didn't finish it would just stop, I checked the root and it looks like the kindle is rooted. So now I want to install google play. I used tried to use this method. Which has me changing the root settings in ES File. But when I enable Root Explorer it asks me which Room I have HiAPK or Cyanogen. I don't have either. Do I have to install one of these custom Roms before being able to get GPlay installed?

I ask this cuz if I just choose one off the rooms. Then enable Mount File System an error comes up saying it can't see the SD card and wont allow for anything else to happen so ES crashes.

What am I doing wrong?

No, Google Play should work on stock. If you don't have a superuser app (SuperSU, Superuser, etc), you are not rooted.

Even if you are rooted, I would unroot and root again because it sounds like Qemu wasn't done after all. I would use Bin4ry because it worked better for me.
