[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iancarvalho:
I have been searching everywhere for a decent and fully functional camera mod for the N7100. When I sold my S3 to buy a NOTE 2 I had no idea there was a huge limitation to mods for this device. I support all the developers here in downloading, testing and frequently flashing different roms, but I'm surprised with the fact that the note 2 simply lacks a Camera Mod like the HX camera mod for the S3, which was fantastic by the way. I would like to know if anybody has a forecast or knows if this is currently in development because I have a trip coming up soon and I would love to shoot in 30mbps.

... in which I would also like some feedback regarding this. If samsung used a 19mbps for the video recording, didn`t they do it for a reason? Like in example, nothing above 19mbps showed any improvement in quality whatsoever so to maintain a smaller size yet containing the same quality of a 30mbps, they kept it at the minimum effective quantity. Any comments on this? Either way I'm still in search of a camera mod. Would this be possible editing the build.prop?

impossible to restore a backup of xda2 wm2005 in xda2i

think little would come out of restoring a backup from one version of mw to another apart from the person restoring ending up with the data from the person who backed up

that is if the restore was successfull

Backup program .. Backups only the Registry, Database and some files that are not in ROM .. even successful restoring it to your device will not restore the OS itself .. you will just get files in My Documents and some registry (which apparently from HIMALAYA) .. :)

PS .. no backup Program yet is fully working in HIMALAYA Magneto (Sunny Soft Backup manager doesnt backup the database.. :) .. i use mtty.exe/romupdate.exe to backup 1.60a or 1.50f.01FRE but this is very unconventional method .. :)

Guys my phone was acting up. I tried to boot into recovery, and it wouldn't go. Splash screen came up and had recovery booting in upper left hand, than it just vibrated and kept doing just that. I pulled battery and put it back in and automatically vibrated. Now it just keeps doing that. I just wanted to clear cache and now it's doing this!

Every time I put my battery back in, it wants to automatically boot into recovery. But than just keeps vibrating.

EDIT: it booted into recovery and went back to its cycle. I think it has to do with my screwed up power button. Not sure what to do?!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s1mpd1ddy:
I had the same issue.

You can send it in to get fixed, our pull out the power button like I did.

Sucks either way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
How do you operate recovery and getting into it? My phone is back up now. I just tried recovery again and had the same loop problem. Not sure if I should try going back to complete stock.

Does the phone have to be less than a year old to take it into Verizon? Its older than a year. Is it worth trying to go into Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s1mpd1ddy:
I was able to turn the phone on after taking the power button out by sticking a pin in the hole and pushing down on the button within the hole.

This was also how I diagnosed it was my power button for sure. I could just flick the button in the hole without paying down and the screen would shut off.

I was told this is a hassle to fix because it could be a short on the power cable. I'm just sticking with my phone like this for now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Ohhhh. Yeah, I'm afraid to take my power button off.

I thought it was software at first. I clean flashed BoneStock and it went away. Then when I double pressed the button today it started happening again. I wanted to try flashing CleanRom but I can't even get into recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
It's sds sudden death syndrome it's a known issue with the power button. It's defective.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Take it to store they will repair it, in most cases it's covered.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Even if the phone is over a year old? If so I can try flashing back to stock.

Ringing is so quiet compared to the speaker that you cant hear it even on full.

I am running on 216 cyanogen mod 9 stock with locked bootloader using atis112 locked bootloader patch

When i play music i can here it and when i select it in the ringtones it is as loud as a song what can be heard but when someone rings me and it is on full volume it is quiet. The best example was i was in a park with friends and everyone could hear my music but when it rang no one could here it even though we were sat next to it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernanmcarg:
Hello everyone, a few days ago i posted a question regarding the proximity sensor staying on all the time, even with every gesture option turned off. After trying several stock ROMs and a couple of different S4, all of them have the same issue. I have to note tho that with every ROM previous to MG5, the sensor stays on all the time, and when using the MG5 India ROM the sensor is off, except while using the stock browser, when it turns on after a few minutes, or after making a phonecall the sensor stays on and it only turns off restarting the phone.

This is seriously very weird. I have had many phones, and i've never seen anything like this. Just in case, i want to remark that every single gesture option, auto screen brightness and eye scroll and all those functions were disabled. Every single one. I even thought it could be i had a faulty phone, but i tried two more and they do exactly the same. Has anyone noticed this using a custom ROM? It's easier to see using another's phone camera.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernanmcarg:
Samomamo thanks a lot for your reply, but if you read what i said and what says in that post, we're talking about completely different things. In that post the guy had a problem with the sensor not working. I never said it didn't work, it works perfectly, it just stays on (aka, you can see a dim red light coming from it) but it works without any problems. Besides, he ended up having a defective phone, and like I said above, i tried 3 phones, from different companies, one of them brand new, and all of them had the same behaviour so I think i can safely discard a hardware problem (unless all three phones were defective, which is unlikely to happen).

Still, thanks for your reply!!:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasmastate:
This is very strange, I also have stock browser as my primary browser running mg5 but I don't see the proximity sensor light going up (even in darkness). I do web browsing and reading for hours. Is this how you see your proximity sensor light showing slight red? I am still figuring out what you said and will confirm my own findings later today. Will update.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

_______________________________

Alright. Here are my own findings.

Stock MG5 i9500.

First of all, you are right. The proximity sensor does light up when everything is turned off. Literally Smart feature and even smart pause is turned off. So the proximity sensor shouldn't be turned on in the first place. Now that this is clear, Here is what I've found so far.

Bug present in stock browser, not in chrome. The way it turns on the proximity sensor is that as soon as you type any URL in the address bar and press enter, the sensor gets turned on and stays like that unless and until:

-You pull down the notification bar

OR

-Press home button and run the browser again (notice that the browser is still in RAM so we aren't restarting the app).

Then (assuming you have the website already open). You can browse all you want within the website pressing links and what not. But as soon as you use the address bar again, the sensor wakes up again. This is seriously strange and definitely a bug from the software end and not the hardware end.

LAMESUNG is prolly too busy releasing note3 and Galaxy Godzilla 20". So we don't know when will we see the fix for this. Let's hope on the 4.3 update after a couple months.

@ Everyone trying custom Roms and kernals.

Please confirm this if you experience this same issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernanmcarg:
Plasmastate thank you for testing it. My phone does exactly the same thing you described. One more thing. Look at the sensor through a digital camera or another's phone camera and you'll see it's always on although you can't see it with your bare eyes. The most weird thing is my brother has an iphone 5 and it has the same issue after recent software updates. This is well catalogued in apple forums. Strange huh?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im4eversmart:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernanmcarg:
I just noticed you guys have custom kernels/roms, so obviously this is a stock rom bug. I should also add that the phone works flawlessly. There's no excessive battery consumption or lag or anything and the sensor works fine.

I am on 4.3, Russian Update. Today, after installing Cm 11 the proximity bug was no more there. So I don't think compressed can air will do any good. Have tried all means possible to reports this to Samsung but it seems Samsung bluntly does not want to hear any of it customers complaints as they are busy with Galaxy s5. below is a screen of the proximity bug before I flashed cm11
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricki:
My experience with the proximity sensor. Compressed air from outside did not help. I opened the device and removed the ear piece/ proximity sensor unit. This is quite easy. Just watch the appropriate youtube video and get the right screw driver. There was a lot of dirt on the ear piece which came through the grill of the ear speaker. After cleaning it up everything works fine. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reverendhtc:
My S4 does not have this issue. Viewed through a digital camera, the sensor is off when the screen is turned off. When I unlock the phone it starts to flash. When I turn off the screen it stops flashing again.

My front facing camera and sensors are still clean after 6 months of use.

I also had proximity sensor issue on my i9500 S4. When I test proximity sensor...it will work...but wont turn off. During calls when the screen gets turned off it won't turn on unless do a restart. But today I fixed it by just blowing air to the ear piece from mouth :D. Now it is working properly.

So if anyone having the same issue. Just try to blow air from mouth or a can to the ear piece before going for a reset or to the service center.:cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prle77:
Confirming... blowing air into the ear piece fixed the problem.. mine was getting stuck on.. so every time I've answered phone call and wanted to use phone (ie to access email etc) screen was frozen off.. Initially swiping finger across all sensors and front camera (from right to left) used to turn the screen on but after I've blown the thingo.. it is back to normal...

running stock 4.3. and the issue started straight after upgrade.. My guess is that with 4.3 they have reduced sensitivity of the sensor so whoever has dirty sensor, upgrade will cause those issues...

I ordered this housing for my phone. It was time for a white one. It looks amazing. I did this because it comes with the adhesive to put the screen on. All you do is peel the plastic off the adhesive then drop the screen assembly in, paying attention to where the cables are going.

This is the assembly I used. It works.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThirdChime:
Here is the story. I replaced my old GS4 (M919) camera with a new one since I accidentally dropped acetone on it lol. Anyway the old one wouldn't focus in so I decided to buy a new camera and replace it. The first replacement didn't work. I was thinking it was just defective, but when the guy replaced the supposed defective one it also didn't work. I kept getting the error "Warning camera failed". I factory reset it, I re-installed the firmware, I cleared the cache and restarted the phone several time... Nothing. I think put on my old camera to see if it was something wrong with the mother board, but I found out the old camera still worked (Obviously not good because of the acetone).

What should I do? Is there any other way I can fix this issue or should I just call it quits. I cannot afford a repair from Samsung. I know how to fix phones. This just has my stumped.

I have read a bunch of post on this but still not finding the answers. So, please forgive me if this is a repeat question.

I browsed thru the ftp site (under the Magician folder), but not sure of which ROM to download since there are so many of them and not sure of which is the most stable version (O2, i-mate, qtek, MDA?).

I have the O2 XDA II mini with the following version:

- ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE.

- ROM date: 11/01/04

- Radio version: 1.01.00

- Protocol version: 1337.38

- ExtROM version: 1.03.166 WWE

Or, should I use the one that I downloaded from seeo2.com site: the filename is:

ma_o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe?

Also, when I update the ROM, would it lock my phone? I bought the phone in USA so I assume the phone is unlock.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

William

How about the O2 ROM? I'd like to stay with O2 ROM (instead of using the Imate or Qtek ROM). Could anybody point me to the correct ROM to use? I browsed around the ftp but there are so many of them (extrom, bigstorage, modified, shipped). Thanks for the help!

The O2 ROM on their website was put up in May and is v1.11 and it's working OK for me.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Yung:
I bought a T-Mobile Compact, and someone had loaded the I-Mate 1.11 ROM on there. I kept having a problem wth the GPRS failing to connect. I then upgraded to the 1.12 ROM, and it was even worse. I kept the 1.12 radio, and then downgraded to the basic 1.06 ROM. It is stable, and honestly, I don't see what the differences are besides now I can connect to GPRS whenever I want.

I also applied the bigstorage hack, and only applied the basic extended ROM cab files from 1.12 and the bluetooth patch from 1.06. I received my Compact last week, and applied 1.06 yesterday. So far, no issues have cropped up. Man, this Compact is so much less buggy than my MDAIII. The MDAIII was so feature packed, but had sooo many problems.

Hope that helps.
