[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pic2022:
Just recently my front facing camera has gotten really bad and I do not know why. I am going to include two pictures I have taken. The first one is a perfectly normal picture and the second one is crappy as hell, blurry as can be and looks like a webcam from the 90s.

Both pictures quality is 1900x1080 just the quality is drastically different. I recently updated to 4.3 and right after that the quality of the camera was the same as the first picture... hours later I took a picture and its quality mimics that of the second one. Any ideas? It isn't focusing, obviously I'm not zooming. I don't know what the problem is.

Does anyone have the .apk for the camera i could possibly re-install??

Also here is a test i just did. I took a picture with snapchat and I saved the image, this picture is #3.

I then went into the Camera and took a picture again and this is its quality, blurry.

I am definitely starting to think that the camera is bugged.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpwrf:
I have noticed that noise removal kicks in on mine when taken in dim light. The ISO on the front camera is high and I find the pictures are noisy unless taken in bright light and noise removal is only applied if the light is dim enough. The 3rd picture looks quite a bit noisy and it looks like the automatic noise removal was applied to picture 2 and 4.

Is anyone else running this cab file??

Before loading it, I pulled it apart with a cab editor to see what it was. I was very excited to see that it uncovered the radio band selction capabilities, so I quickly installed it.

But this where things got funny. I refuses to give me the option for the for GSM 1900, although it is clearly called out in the registry edits the cab lays down. I am running the 1.13 radio, with system 1.40.00, and was wonder if anyone else can verify this as a problem? I am wondering if this is a software issue in either the cab, system, or radio... Or to my horror is the SX66 retarded to triband???

-Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cdaly1970:
Ok, looks like TheLastOne answered my question in another post. Funny that the site search failed to turn this up:

1) Phone Band Selection: BandSel_BAWWE_140921.sa.CAB

- I've played with this a bit, their cab is actually ****ed up, as they have tried to get 6 selections onto the page when only 5 are possible. Through the registry you can have any band configuration you want selectable. I personally LOVE this feature.

GSM 1900 is the 6th selection, hence it doesn't show up. But this now leaves a glaring question, what are ALL the selectable options? I note the 900/1800 option with a value of 3, but is there a 850/1900 option(This would be prefect when I go to aruba), and what is that value??

GSM900 has a value of 1

GSM1800 has a value of 2

GSM900/1800 has a value of 3

GSM1900 has a value of 4

Automatic has a value of 7

gsm850 has a value of 8

So, what are values 5 and 6?? I could set those values, but I have no idea how I'd check to see what band I am current using. Anyone got any thoughts?

-Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] TheLastOne:
Either 5 or 6 is 850/1900, from my tests, but I forget which.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cdaly1970:
If you don't mind, how did you determine that?

-Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] TheLastOne:
In my location, I have access to two GSM networks, one which is exclusively 1900 and the other is 850. Set to either 5 or 6, I could get on both. (So I'm not positive it's EXCLUSIVELY 1900 and 850, since there is no 900 or 1800 here to test).

I did this a bit ago, so I don't properly remember.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mamaich:
The value is a bitmask:

bit 1: 900

bit 2: 1800

bit 3: 1900

bit 4: 850

so 5 means 101b - 1900+900

6 means 110b - 1900+1800

Setting 7 would make GSM to use 900, 1800, 1900

Probably the GSM part also tries to register on 850Mhz when 1900 is selected.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cdaly1970:
Mamaich,

You rock. You never cease to amaze me. Very cool, thanks.

Can you post a link to this CAB file?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Cruzzer:
Modified Band Select CAB for USA

I modified the CAB for USA only 850, 1900 and Auto
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Guinness:
I ran the updated CAB file you posted here, seems to be working ok, although signal strength (on the new bands) seems to be weaker than what I had before installing the cab. I am wondering, is there ever away to revert back to the original band options or settings ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ChrisSpera:
I am wondering the same thing, because NONE of the 3 options i had available to me when I installed this (Auto, GSM 850/1900 (NA), GSM 900/1800(Euro/Asia) were selected.

When I selected Auto, I began ROAMING, and I'm not certain why. The only way I know of to return this back to factory state is to hard reset.

Does anyone have THE ORIGINAL CAB, before the mods were made so that ALL options were available?? I'd really like to have that cab so that I can see what option my PDA2k on Cingular was using...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Cruzzer:
Here is the original CAB file, it did not work on my SX66 (see the first few posts on this thread) so I modified it to use only 850/1900 and Auto. I have had no problems with the modified CAB. Signal strength has not been degraded.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ChrisSpera:
thanks, Cruzzer.

the modified CAB put me into permanent ROAM no matter what frequency I chose (or killed the phone entirely because there wasn't a 900/1800 tower).

I managed to get a hold of Chris and he helped me make some registry mods that gave me the original functionality back.

Interestingly enough, I had to put the phone thru a couple of different SR's before it would stop roaming, even after switching back to JUST 850.

Goofy, huh?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Guinness:
Care to go over the registry edit you made? Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] aptz:
Question

First of all, thans for the Band Select created by Cruzzer for US users. After I install his band select, it's the first time that I can use my phone in my office located in a basement. But I have a problem. In his band select, there are three options, automatic, GSM 850, and GSM 1900. When I selected automatic, my phone couldn't find the network. But when I selected GSM 850, it works perfectly. At first, I understand that by selecting my phone to automatic, my phone should search both GSM 850 and GSM 1900. But I don't know why it always show no network. Did I do anything wrong?

By the way, my phone is O2 XDA IIs brought from Thailand. (O2 Asia)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] JPBRA:
I believe that there is a bug in BA when working with GSM850.

In fact, automatic should search between GSM850, 900, 1800 and 1900.

Usually when using "automatic" where GSM850 networks exists, makes BA not being able to find any network.

Are you using WM2003SE ?

JP
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] aptz:
Yep WM2003SE

Yes, I'm using WM2003SE.

I also tried another band select created by one of our members in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=297099 His band select gives four options:

1. automatic

2. GSM 850/GSM 1900 (north america)

3. GSM 900/GSM 1800 (Europe)

4. Reset Values to Zero

When I selected GSM 850/GSM 1900 (north america), my phone had no signal. So, right now I have to go back to BandSel_BAWWE_140921.sa.us and manually select GSM 850.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] JPBRA:
Yes, unfortunely, that seems to confirm my teory.

If it works for you at 850, keep at that. Just remember that if you upgrade to WM6, band selection will not be available and it will be locked to your choice done in WM2003, in this case 850.

Your BA, will no longer be quad-band (the same as mine).

JP
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] aptz:
Too bad

Thanks for confirming the bug in BA. Too bad. I want to upgrade to WM6 but I know there is no way to select which band in WM6. So...I'm stuck with WM2003SE. I wonder, can we edit the registry to manually select the GSM band in WM6?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] JPBRA:
I've tryed and some other did also, but it seems that both the .cab and also registry tweaks for band selection do not work on WM6.

It does not mean that you will have a problem with WM6, but rather that the band that you have selected on WM2003 will remain "locked" when using WM6 and cannot be changed.

In my case, i'm using the 900/1800 band selection and it works just fine with WM6 (i've used Helmi's and now i'm using Xplode's) but i cannot select 850 for example.

Its not about only JAVA here you see. Building for a completely new device needs much more. If you are really keen to learn, then go ahead and pick up a book on Embedded Linux so that you can learn how a device tree is created, how it has to be edited and what sources are necessary to pull it off!

Calm down, guys. Don't get hyperexcited.

Developing a device tree is a hard and long process, as most of the things don't work and need proprietary files.

Just curious. Is Sony releasing kernel with proprietary drivers? (they say they are very open-source friendly) Coming from HTC device, HTC did provide the kernel sources, but heavily modified, which caused AOSP not working. I finally went for Sony for their attitude towards community, I saw some build files on their web, but not sure what exactly they are.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prm593:
some hope's have come up..:D

cheer's guys
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZakooZ:
All kernels have proprietary drivers, every single vendor does it because the companies that manufacture CPU/GPU/wifi/nfc/telephony/bluetooth/etc chips don't want to release every bit of source code, so they release sources that should make the chip work easily on different builds of android, keeping a lot of code on precompiled binary files
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peters.:
Check the sony developer portal, they released the open-source pack for our devices...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2010ngojo:
Does anyone know how the Galaxy S4 decipher the signals coming from the OEM earphones? I plugged them into my HTC One and the controls either dont work or have different functions. I'm curious as to how the volume control works. Is it a Samsung thing only? Is it hardware or software related? And If it is hardware related then whether is it the earphone themselves or the phone itself.

And another question, does anyone know a way to get volume control and mic control on an Apple compatible headset to work with the S4 or any android device? I prefer not to modify my earphones, but I don't mind getting an adapter if that's the case. I don't want to spend time modifying the adapters either. I've read that there are TRRS adapters to convert Apple TRRS to standard ones used in nokia, android, etc. devices, but I cannot find any for a decent price.

I tried several apps but they either have no volume button control settings or it just doesn't work with my headphones. Some did work with the Samsung OEM earphones though, but I'd rather use mine.
