[Shield Q&A] rushless:
I can use a controller for the tablet and it has more storage for games. Still, the Shield is more gamey of course in design.

I wish Best Buy had these or Gamestop had demos.
[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
I have a tablet, phone and the Shield. The shield is the best portable android gaming device in my opinion. Sure it may have cost more than my other two devices but I wanted the best handheld emulator available and this is it.
[Shield Q&A] darkjedi:
It is if you play PC games. Because you can't really easily do that with a tablet. But if you don't game on PC, then just use the tablet with a controller. Me, I *love* the game streaming. I can be on the couch or in bed and play my PC games. How awesome is that? :D
[Shield Q&A] Edwii:
The shield is a tablet and at the same time it isn't. If you think your going to be doing more tablet specific things that a true tablet would do better then go with the tablet, if how ever you want an android device built for gaming(which is a big difference from a tablet that was converted to play games) and would enjoy a great way to play games on a handheld divice whilst also enjoying most of the perks of a tablet, then get the Sheild.

Tablets:

Pro: Bigger screen, longer batter

Con: can be less portable, not as handy for games, can be cumbersome to handle.

Shield:

Pro: Quick and easy game play, very comfortable for long periods of times. true hardware buttons/joystick.

Con: smaller screen, not as easy to control touch based applications,
[Shield Q&A] jutley:
You must yield the power of the shield it is as awesome device and i replaced my tablet for just one device to rule them all.
[Shield Q&A] blinkdragonid:
yes, I traded in my xoom2 and 3ds to get shield. I figured in two or three years the shield will emulate 3ds games, but then ill have a shield 2 by then.
[Shield Q&A] rushless:
Any sign of a sleep bleed and throttle fix yet?
[Shield Q&A] georaldc:
I've been seeing a suggestion of using a live wallpaper that uses gpu resources to keep your shield from downclocking after it wakes up. Haven't tried it out yet though.
[Shield Q&A] rushless:
That would help the throttle, but reduce battery life and not help the bleed in sleep mode.

Nvidia better be pronto on a fix.
[Shield Q&A] nielo360:
A tablet and a shield are two completely different things. The only thing they have in common is that they both run android. I would suggest having a tablet for productivity and a shield as a gaming device.

A shield is definitely not a tablet replacement, but it can work as a great android desktop/media device if you hook it up to your monitor with a mouse in keyboard.

There is in issue with HDMI lag but Iv not tested this. Probably an update would fix it.
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
I have been playing with a pabndaboard es for a while and all android builds I have used on it run slow as......but when I switch to a live wallpaper it improves. Also on the pandaboard not using a live wallpaper makes android crash.

It is a tablet replacement IF you only bought the tablet for games like I did.
[Shield Q&A] fischb:
I have both Shield and Asus Transformer. The Shield is the most revolutionary gaming thing I've seen in a while. I would get the shield, put on some emulators, and you have access to 10,000 games in your hand
[Shield Q&A] Falysix:
What asus tablet is it ?
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
I see I forgot to mention what I would buy IF i were looking to get one of these two devices. I already have the SHIELD, but I were to make this choice right NOW knowing what I know now.

I would buy the ASUS tablet, as the shield is crap, nvidia is pointing the finger at everyone other then nvidia for every shield problem out there. Have a problem with the geforce drivers needed for shield streaming? Here is nvidia's response "steam needs to fix it". Would you like to make a suggestion for some you would like to see added? Send in a bug report, we will add "new" features based on a bug report for something that is not currently in the software.

Everything works fine other then games on the shield, and the Geforce drivers for shield streaming. If you don't try and play games on the shield it works okay. If you don't install the geforce drivers for shield streaming PC games play great.
[Shield Q&A] nrage23:
Sorry to hear about your streaming experience but the Shield is most definitely not crap. Mine streams just fine the few times I have tried it. I use it for android games and emulators. It works fantastically for this. I have owned at least 7 different Android tablets and none of them can play games like the shield can. I currently use a Nexus 10 and a Nexus 7 (2013) both of which are great tablets but cannot play games with them like the Shield. I also have a Rocketfish Miracast receiver and use it stream android games to my TV. The only problem I have with the device is screen resolution (needs to be 1080p) and screen size. I wish the size was a bit bigger but I realize they were trying to match the controller size. The resolution however, they could easily get a 5" 1080p screen. The battery life is very good and the Tegra 4 is blazing fast.
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
I am including android games in my last post as well. I also looked at the bad joy stick placement.
[Shield Q&A] iCloudServ:
Depends on if you have super fast PC you would probably has more features in NVIDIA Shield, and if you dont have fast Gaming PC , you should go with Asus

[HTC One Mini] RedBull42:
Hi all,

after the latest OTA Update my HTC One mini is soft-bricked.

Is there any way yet o fix it again?

When i try to push the JMZ.img i get following error: "Protocol failure" and my device trys to reboot --> Bootloop

Maybe i have a chance with the RUU for HTC One mini but i can´t find it...

Please some hins what to do.

Thanx at all
[HTC One Mini] jmz:
I don't know what you mean by pushing jmz.img
[HTC One Mini] RedBull42:
I mean i used your boot.image. I only had the possibility to copy it to the device via "adb push" commands.
[HTC One Mini] jmz:
If you have custom recovery installed then flash any of the stock roms. If you don't have recovery installed then install it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC One Mini] RedBull42:
THX, your hint worked. But i have still one problem. Shutting down the phone (Power off) and start it again works.

But when i do a simple restart, it still goes into bootloop. The only thing to get rid of it is doing a factory reset.

I think i have to wait till there is an official ruu available.
[HTC One Mini] HaJeeEs:
I have the same issue. Still no RUU anywhere I'm afraid? Googled around without luck so far. :crying:

[Android General] gio91ber:
Here is a small tutorial in order to shoot raw files on an alcatel 5035D phone and how to use those files. At the moment I've only tested it on a Mac.

Here is the difference between a standard jpeg file and the one coming from a the raw file shot with engineer mode.

Here is the big problem I couldn't manage to solve.

As you can see the developed raw image has worse resolution (as I couldn't solve pixel-level demosaicing problem) but a much better dynamic range and color.

HOW TO SHOOT RAW FILES

To shoot RAW you need to use mediatek phones EngineerMode, this can be in 2 different ways:

1) opening "Phone" and writing this with the keypad: *#*#3646633#*#*

2) installing SvsEngRunner app (you can find it HERE)

Once you entered EngineerMode:

1) swipe right until you reach the "Hardware Testing" tab

2) press on "Camera"

3) press on "Set Raw Capture Mode" and select "Capture Mode" then press "OK"

4) press on "Raw Type" and select "Pure Raw"

5) if you want you can also turn off lights flickering effect selecting 50Hz flicker in Europe and 60Hz one in US

6) you can also select ISO or let the phone auto-select the right one.

7) now press on "Start Preview" frame your subject and press "Capture" to shoot

In /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/CameraEM you'll find a .raw file and a similarly named JPEG.

HOW TO EDIT THOSE RAW FILES

Once you've copied those raw files on your PC if you have Photoshop already installed you'll notice you'll be able to open those .raw files with it. Don't do it. Well, if you want to experiment with Ps raw import tool good luck, I couldn't manage to get anything usable with it.

Download and install GraphicConverter from Lemke Software (HERE is the trial download link).

Once you've downloaded and installed it comes the difficult part:

1) open the .raw file with GraphicConverter

2) "Photo RAW Import" appears with a blank square in it. Just press the "OK" button on bottom right

3) another window will tell you that the image you tried to open is broken, now press on the "Try RAW import..." button

4) now copy the values you need to enter from the following image and then press "OK":

5) save the image in TIFF format and open it with any image editor.

I suggest opening it in Photoshop and apply de-interlace both horizontally and vertically (you can remove vertical interlacing by rotating by 90° the image and applying again the de-interlace filter).

Now here is a small question: does anyone know how to open a CameraEM Alcatel Mediatek MTK Raw File in any other way? Can he/she share his method or a possible solution to the problem? I've been able to access the greyscale raw image but I couldn't demosaic it, can anyone use the MATLAB demosaic tool on it and check if the conversion is better? Is there anyone willing to write something like raw2dng for this particular RAW image file format? Thanks in advance and sorry for my very bad english :crying:.

[Android General] 8day:
gio91ber, could you upload somewhere RAW from your 5035D? I'm not sure whether it is because of you, or because of someone else, I've found support for Alcatel 5035D in small RAW converter called "dcraw". I need the RAW to check whether it is really can be processed by dcraw, and if so, since I also was able to process it with GraphicConverter, there may be a chance that the author of dcraw could add support for my platform/camera as well (MT6589).

Oh, and thanks for the tip with GraphicConverter, although I must admit that it works only in some cases: sometimes it decodes pictures in a wrong way and won't show window saying that it failed, i.e. "Try RAW import..." button. Moreover there's no equivalent command in main menu...
[Android General] EvangelineX:
When open the camera, showing a connection error, what is the reason?
[Android General] gio91ber:
That's probably because of my, as I sent Dave Coffin a raw files a few months ago. It actually works with my version of dcraw. Anyway there's also another possible way to open 5035d raw files with Irfanview using these parameters.

[IMG="irfanview screenshot"]http://www.postimg.com/167000/irfanview-166415.jpg[/IMG]

you then have to save the image in pgm format and use this demosaicer http://www.fastcompression.com/solutions/demosaicing/demosaicing.htm to convert it from not demosaiced image to a demosaiced ppm format color image.

Anyway, I attach to this post a raw file coming from my phone. I won't be able to send any new one since I sold the phone but anyway here it is.
[Android General] 8day:
Thank you! It seems I finally made it to work. BTW! There's a cool and free software for working with raw pictures called RawTherapee. If you'll have another camera/smartphone with ability to take raw pictures definitely check it out.

If someone wonders how to set up conversion of raw pictures from Lenovo A820, here's details:

DL IrfanView;

DL its "formats.dll";

drag&drop your raw into IrfanView;

in opened window set these:

width 3200;

height 2400;

BPP 10, Not normalized;

Vertical flip;

Bayer pattern used BG.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shunno:
Hello! I'm sorry if this problem has been answered already. I searched but couldn't find any like this.

I have a TMobile note 2, whenever I'm at home it has no problem connecting to 3g/4g/lte but whenever I'm in my college town where tmobile barely has Edge it can't connect to network. If I restart it multiple times it will connect for few seconds then disconnect. Wifi calling works. When I look for network operators it only detects AT&T. I've tried the same sim in a galaxy s3 and a nexus 4 and both connected and showed Edge. My IMEI hasn't changed AFAIK (starts with 3435) and my phone number shows up in the in status.

In mobile network, it says unknown, mobile network type Unknown. Current signal strength is -85 dBm 14 asu . mobile network state is disconnected.

I had the stock rom and it was unrooted. After the problem I rooted it and installed the jedi rom X and then jedimaster, but the result was the same. I have signal sporadically in town where other phones have no issue connecting. I'm hoping it's a software problem as I don't have warranty anymore. Any help suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Good evening everyone,

I recently bought SGS4 I9500 and I don't really want to root it because it's too early. I would like to know if there is a way to use android applications (like Droidsheep that need root permissions to run), on my S4 without rooting it. any suggestions? :D :D :D

Exactly. It's a dopey question asked due to not knowing even the 'bare basics'.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmilyMinion:
newbies? :P

First of all quys, this question was not intend to be answered by people like you.

And please do not call me "dopey" and tell me that I don't know the "bare basics".

If you think you know something more than me, then answer the question if you can, otherwise let someone else do.

As you can search in the web about what I am asking for, there is busybox no-root which was created a few months ago.

But it's is not completely useful for what I want to do therefore I just asked if there is a way of achieving what I want, without rooting my phone.

Thanks.

After updating to 10.3.1.A.2.67 JB 4.2.2 something strange is happening.

My 2D score in Antutu 3.3.2 on JB 4.1 was always ~1600 even when battery temps were 42-43 C and CPU throttled.

Now in 4.2.2 the 2D score always comes out to be 800-1100 even when the battery temp is only 30-32 C.

Similarly, average 3D benchmark score also reduced to 5100 from over 6000(always) in JB 4.1.

Can anyone else please run the benchmark and post the 2D and 3D score for JB 4.2.2 and 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware?

I locked the GPU clock to 400 mhz(max) during the benchmark but still got lower scores

Thanks man.

Running the benchmark after a cold start gives me 1600 on 2D but later on heating up it drops to ~800. Maybe SONY decided to throttle the GPU too at high temps. In 4.1 only the CPU throttled.
