[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skepticmisfit:
Before i begin the actual topic, i feel like i need to share a story. a long, complicated story.

I feel like i can't go willy-nilly flashing things anymore. the USB cable (which btw is OEM) from my fassy is starting to go bad. odin recognizes it 1 out of 3 times, and every time i try to go back to stock, the operation fails half-way through. every other cable i've tried worked just fine, and i reinstalled samsung drivers four times. i believe i also had to reinstall windows at one point (not because of odin, i think something else broke/died) and that didn't help either. so, basically, if i flash a ROM, it has to be like perfect until i can borrow a cable.

a few nights ago, after deciding cm10.1 was too RAM-hungry for daily usage, i borrowed a cable and restored back to stock EH03 firmware. and let's face it, EH03 isn't the best thing ever, but it's usable. but i may go to jelly bean again because touchwiz is bad for your health

after discovering devil kernel (and getting some confirmation from udev that you need devil to properly get by on cm10.1), i have some questions about it:

1. from where should i download and flash it: DerTeufel's site or hhp's dev-host?

2. should i bother with Voodoo Color on jellybean?

3. at what RAM setting does it break 720p recording (as stated on DT's site)?

4. what other features should i know about that could possibly break everything?

by the way, i'm not really a n00b to android. i have a broken nook tablet and an lg vortex that went in the pool :p

You do not need devil to get on 1.cm10.1 cm has a built in kernel. 2.Voodoo kernel color is available for 4.2.2.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
Hello xda forums,

I have a problem with my Galaxy S4 (i9500). I can't seem to be auto-focus light, causing my pictures to be either too dark or too bright. I can only get my device to focus light on only if the thing i want to picture is in the middle of the screen. I want it to set the light's focus on where I touch, just like in iPhones and I'm going to show it with pictures. (With using my friend's iPhone 4S)

Ok, so this is what I get when I first take a photo of the scene with an iPhone.

So I touch the dark ground on the picture, an it automaticly focuses the light and this is what I get (which is what I want from my Galaxy S4)

Now, my S4's turn.

The first image I get from the scene. No matter where I touch on the screen still the same picture. It does not focus the light. All options (ISO, White Balance, etc.) are in Auto. But still no luck. This is what I get;

Then I turn my phone and get the ground to the middle of the screen, it focuses the light to take a picture of the ground.

So, to get the bright ground under sunlight (Or any other bright light), I need to put the area which i want to see bright to the middle, in the iPhone, all i got to do is to touch the area.

The question is, how to make my S4 be able to do that? Any recommended apps? (I tried a few like CameraMX, Camera FV-5, Shot Control). Or if what i mean is possible just through the settings, how? (I tried to change "metering" and stuff, none did it)

Thanks...

(Sorry that the images are too big)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
So no one knows? Anyone? Please?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanivula:
Go into settings in the camera and change your metering mode and try again. I think it's because you've got it on spot or center weighted mode. Give that a go.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanivula:
Not quite the same but this is what mine does spot vs matrix focusing on the tap.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteFinn:
You can switch between three different exposure metering settings (Center-weighted, Matrix, Spot). Spot Metering is the one you need, but unfortunately the stock camera app always meters the exposure (=brightness) only at the center of the frame, even if you select Spot Metering. You can focus using your finger, but the image exposure is still metered from the centerpoint of the frame, which is stupid. This works well only if you place the main subject dead in the center. Can't say if this is camera hardware limitation or just lazy coding by Samsung. I've read some older discussions on this matter regarding the S3. It seems the focus&exposure lock used to work on the S3 but not anymore. It really is a mystery why Samsung has disabled this essential feature.

You can work your way around this problem by downloading a camera app called Camera FV-5. It doesn't have the combined focus&exposure lock square function either, but there's a separate button for exposure lock. What this means is that you can first point you camera at the target which gives you the correct overall exposure and then tap the exposure lock button. Then you can freely reframe the shot, click on the screen to focus and take the photo. This way the exposure remains constant no matter where you point the camera after the exposure lock button is pressed. It's still a bit cumbersome but it's better than nothing. You can try this by downloading the free, lite version of the Camera FV-5. The full version costs 2,99€. I got a pop-up saying that the S4 is not yet fully supported. However, the lite version seemed to work ok. I haven't bought the full version yet, but it does look extremely promising.

Wow thanks alot for first replying, secondly helping out! It is good to know whats the name of the problem is. Thanks alot!!! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteFinn:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
Hey I tried Fv-5 (pro, lol), touching spots didn't really help in this one either.. Still not working.. Could it be about the default driver of my camera? :/
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
Oh now I did it, kinda.. Exposure lock did the work fine but still no good, not practical really... Isnt there any way to do it just like iphones' camera.. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteFinn:
As I said, you can't set the exposure (brightness of the photo) by touching the screen. You can only focus by touching the screen. You have to activate the autoexposure lock (AE-L in the FV-5 app). Here's how it works in FV-5, assuming you want to take a similar photo to the sample photo you posted.

If you want to have more exposure (light) on the ground in front of you, you first tilt the camera downward towards the ground until you think the ground looks good and well exposed. You can now also click on the screen to focus. Now don't move the camera, just select the third icon from the left on the lower part of the screen (Light metering mode) and click on the AE-L button and it turns yellow. Your exposure is now locked and you can also see a small AE-L text on the upper right part of the screen to confirm this. After this you can tilt the camera back upwards until you get a nice framing with the horizon and the sky. Notice that the exposure doesn't change even when you move the camera. When you are happy with the framing, just press the shutter button to take the photo, or you can still use your finger to focus again. After you've taken the shot, the exposure lock is reset.

Yeah, I know this sounds pretty complicated and stupid, but we can thank Samsung for that. Exposure lock is a great feature if you are an advanced amateur or a pro photographer, but for casual cameraphone snappers it's a bit too much. It's also a bit difficult to use without dedicated hardware buttons.

Hope this helps!

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Excellent ;) Unfortunately there's no easy way to do it until Samsung corrects this oversight. I'm just as annoyed as you about this exposure problem!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macca1980:
Is it a hardware issue? I noticed you can focus ,& pinch to zoom in the camera fv-5 app so surely they could add this functionality
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
No, rather than hardware I think it's a software issue.. Maybe something to do with default camera driver or so..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macca1980:
Had a look at camera fv 5 twitter page & the galaxy s4 is not on compatibility list.

I installed another camera app (cant remember sorry) that has touch metering & got error message that this phone does not support touch metering.

I wish I knew this beforehand as the camera was a big part of my reason for getting this phone. Looks like may have to make do with camera fv 5 manual meter & exposure lock method.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro xl123:
Well if we can do what we want with locking exposure or so with FV5 (I can use it just fine on my S4) that means its not a hardware problem. Because, obviously it can focus diffrent exposure no matter what kind of light is in the middle of the screen. What prevents us from touching the spot and focusing exposure is about the default driver of the camera. I think thats the problem but writing a driver for an hardware is not like writing an app or rom.. Its a whole diffrent thing. And I think the default drivers fault is what prevents not only the original camera app's but also FV5's touch exposure focus to not the work. The problem is with the default camera drivers' exposure metering function, its not working right.. And I'm afraid only Samsung can fix this... :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macca1980:
This is disappointing. Hopefully they will fix as its standard with iOS . I wouldnt have got this phone if I knew it coukdnt do this function . SERIOUSLY .

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaughter33:
S4 does have exposure lock

The S4 does have exposure lock, it's just poorly implemented. It is implemented into the camera button. Holding the camera button locks the exposure until you let go which then will snap a photo. Unfortunately it also locks the focus. As long as you have a light and dark object close to the same distance away from the lens, you can lock the exposure and focus and recompose the shot. Not ideal by any means, but another work around.

Okay I am not sure if this the right place to start this thread, moderators please feel free to move it.

But more importantly the app I am looking for is a app which can control the bandwidth each app uses in the phone.

Why am I looking for this app.

I use a 1 gb 3g Internet package and I use Tango to video chat with my gf. Due to this tango sucks like 500 kbps and I run out of Internet juice very early. Now the thing is tango works fine with 50 kbps too. But how do I control how much bandwidth tango takes.

Please note I am not looking for the app to tell me or warn me of my usage but to limit it as in if my 3g gives me 5mbps I want to cap it at 1mbps.

So any one knows a app that can do this please reply.

Also I have exhausted my Google and xda search skills for 2 days looking for something like this but seem to have no luck. Hence this thread.
