[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ninjazx6:
Xperia z ultra has 8mp camera with exmor rs sensor. Sony write on the box of the phablet that as feature. It supposed to be one of the best 8mp camera out there. Sony L(if I remember correctly) has the same sensor and Sony presents the phone as camera phone. Z1 has very small screen for me. Ultra has something unique with the design and the thinnest body.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
To imagine that the new nexus 5 uses the same sensor (but different module).. Nah it's the software ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keithleyson:
It's the compression and NR. Both are too aggressive that details in the photo are lost.

On mobile....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keithleyson:
I think Sony can improve the camera significantly if they so choose. But I doubt that they will as they have to Z1 to sell not to mention their upcoming QX Series cameras.

On mobile....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jkr284:
Agreed. On the uk site the qx camera is listed as an accessory so heres hoping theres an add on case.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keithleyson:
Cant justify buying the QX as a camera "accessory" if I want to spend on a compact camera I'd save up for the X-E2 or the upcoming a7. Both take amazing photos with a compact body and have NFC and wifi to transfer photos to your phone.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
I totally agree that the camera of the XZU is diabolical (especially the low light performance) but whilst I sort of knew this from the review and the fact that it has no flash, my reasons for buying this phone are totally different-it is my 1st true Phablet.

I think a Petition needed to bring this to the attention of Sony, considering how much money we have all paid or are paying through our contract deals via our network providers. of all the things annoying is why not put a bloody flash of some sort into this beast, you idiotic product designers in Sony. At least they should have the guts to learn from budget Chinese brands like Oppo, HDC, Zopo and UMI.

I have heard that a kickstarter project by the name of IBlazr is soon to launch an 4X Led embedded external flash unit for Mobile Phones and I will get this when it is released but why should we rely on external accessories to complete a faulty design.

To help you all make the best of your camera app, I strongly urge everyone to download the leaked Camera app of the Nexus 5/Android Kitkat 4.4, I installed this and I see that it makes a real difference. Hope the mods will customize it for better usability on the XZU as when I use it the controls of the camera appear to be partially hidden behind the Navigation Buttons of the XZU, whilst this is annoying, the app is very useful and can be used as the daily camera app replacement and to those that want to praise all other replacement apps, I tried all and if you want near stock experience, this is currently our best hope.

Here is the link;

To those that will complain that I should buy an Ipants or switch to another phone, don't waste your breath, I like my phone and I want it to be better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] qazzi76:
This android kitkat camera...

What difference does it make exactly?

Does it reduce the compression?

What is the size of the image it generates?

Does it allow you to adjust ISO setting?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
To be honest, you can try it for yourself but at first sight I put two low light images one taken by stock camera and one by the Kitkat camera sideby side and the results speak for themselves. It has 3 Picture Size setings; 8mpix, VGA and QVGA. It has many setings to play around with but I am certainly impressed and you can try and give your own feedback but always bear in mind that due to the fact taht the XZU has no flash our task in achieveing better imaging with XZU in low light will always be compromised.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
But then again i am very seldomly using any flash on my phones. It is almost just being used as a 100% flashlight in the dark, but not for photography.

And I've heard that with other camera app, the image quality is a lot more improved. It comes down to the Superior Auto mode weakness.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rdamontz:
The XZU is marketed as having a good camera.

Stunning shots in any light — 8 MP camera with Exmor RS™ for mobile

The 8 megapixel camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras. Exmor RS™ for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, we’ve created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise – even in challenging lighting conditions. You’re now also able to reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces in stunning clarity.

I bought this XZU because I thought that aside from it being big and fast, it has a good "stunning" camera. The image quality is crap!
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Hi everyone,

I bought myself a nexus 4 and I gave the P990 to my girlfriend.

I did a factory reset and inserted her SIM card (the mobile operator is called Free, a french operator), and I got a "roaming" symbol in the network. This was with the combination I have in my signature.

I've been trying different basebands today, and now I can't get any reception at all, it just says "No network".

Now I'm with DjangoManouch stock rom, 218 baseband, still no network with Free's sim card, but I tried with my sim card and it's working perfectly... I tried Free's sim card in my nexus 4 and it is also working perfectly...

I did get "normal" reception using the combination in my sig with free's sim card at a specific location... my best guess is that free's cell towers need a very specific baseband for it to work correctly? Do you have any ideas?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Slight update, the total network loss was solved by changing to the correct IMEI (it must have been reset by one of the flashes I did).

But the "roaming" problem is still there :( Manually selecting the network solves it temporarily. Has anyone ever had a similar situation?

Thanks!!
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Did some more research... apparently her network has very limited coverage, and for the areas where it is not covered it has a deal with another operator, Orange.

So, whenever she doesn't have "official" coverage, she'll get the roaming symbol. And apparently they have an app to avoid people in the border to get reception from foreigner operators, which would mean "real" roaming, which is odd and interesting.

Anyways, hope it will help someone...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] MaleBuffy:
Hi,

I am depressed. When I bought the MDA II a week ago (used) it had a problem that I didnt think would be so bad. The power button didnt work (which I didnt know when I bought it off ebay). So I though what the hell, I can do without it since you can use software to bootload. I updated to WM2005 and everything was fine. Did Buzz's RAM and DOC patches and ok until here. When I tried to install some apps and games I tried to install Age of Empires and try to run it. My Himalaya did crash and I had to remove the battery. When it started it shows me the T-mobile logo, the rom versions etc and then the backlight goes off and resets over and over again by itslef.

Now without a working power button I cannot go into Bootloader mode, since I cant go into the OS I cant run software to go into bootloader mode. I opened the device (I have no warranty anyways) tried to remove the battery but all data was store on the devices memory so I dont think that did much. I tried to figure out what the problem with the button was, but it is so small I cant figure out where the problem is.

So no warranty, no powerbutton and no OS. Exept of the fact that I am ****ed, its 7 o clock in the morning ( No I havent just woken up ) do you think that my Himalaya will every see the light again? If yes, how?

Thanks for reading!

you can try to format it first. just press camera, record, reset button. no need to press power button.

Hi P768 user, I've built CM 10.1.3 RC2 for P768. Now it run on my phone.

I use CM 10.1.3 RC2 source and I'll build rom only from RC or stable branch. I use Asia region for GPS configuration, so it may have problem with users in South America. I didn't add any performance boost, it pure CM with disable sdcard emulation. Plus fixed keyboard layout for Home wake feature (Enable/disable in Display setting).

If someone interest to test it I'll post it soon.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
OK, I don't think I need more test because I only disable sdcard emulation on this rom. So I decide to publish it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2438223

If there're bugs it almost come from CM 10.1.3 RC2 bugs because I don't touch anything in kernel or rom code (except disable sdcard emulate). I use P760 device tree as base for P768 and almost every configuration are the same so there should be no problem in that part either.

For GPS I just look into cm gps config and found that all configuration are the same so it should work on all regions.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] lordairdog:
I tried your rom.. it works fine until when I flash gapps... i get AOSP keyboard force close...

my phone is a p768.. bootloader unlocked..Philippine Version

wrong gapps perhaps?? :) BTW. good job on the porting.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
Did you do full wipe before installing?

You can try to clear dalvik cache and cache in CWM then reboot.

I don't think a clean installation will get that error. Can you tell me which link you download (multiupload or dev host) so I can try to test it? And please file md5 to make sure that your download is valid.

For google apps you should flash a latest version for JB in the link I posted.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] lordairdog:
EDITED: For Gapps i downloaded from Goo.im (the link you provided for gapps).. for the rom I downloaded from multiupload...hmm.. I'll try to download and flash again... I used clean install method..
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] lordairdog:
hmmm.. Now I get it.. the Gapps you provided is for JB 4.3.0 but your rom is still 4.2.2 that's why the keyboard won't work when I flash Gapps.. Got mine working now! Thank you for your efforts Sir Artit! :) YOU DA BEST! :good:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] artit:
Um.. Maybe I give a wrong link in my thread? But that gapps works for me.

edit : Oh I see, my gapps link is wrong. Updated to the right version for JB 4.2.2.

Hello,

I tried flashing a Modem (MH5) in Mobile Odin, but it hanged at

----- Modem #2 -----

- Clearing ...

for 20 minutes. I turned the phone off and wanted to try again, but the phone doesn't finish booting. It boots for a minute and I can see the boot animation of my rom, but then it reboots on its own.

Then I wanted to flash the modem with the normal Odin but that also doesn't work.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoginthewok:

port 3 and port 8???

what is happening? change usb port and disable kies and antivirus from task manager, reset odin. repeat procedure

Do you have any device connected to your pc other than your android? If Odin recognized more than 1 com, probably there are other device connected via USB or kies is interfering with odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vesu:
I had the same problem. I tried different USB port and newer version of odin and that did the job.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoginthewok:
It had nothing to do with the USB Port.

After flashing the PIT file failed the phone displayed the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".

Then I downloaded a stock Rom and flashed it in combination with the PIT File on the same USB port as before and it succeeded. After that I flashed TWRP again and I could restore my backup. It was a long process, but my phone is working fine again.

After restoring my backup I could also flash the new modem and now I have better reception.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 78apb:
Got the same situation (Odin flashing failure, PIT error, ended up with the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again") trying to flash a new modem.

When I change the cable AND usb port, everything goes OK. Run Odin (the same 3.07), connect my i9505 with the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" and just flash the modem again, it works now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzyonok:
I have a HDC Galaxy S4 Legend and for now the problem is that it says "SIM is not detected" also I see that IMEI is null.

How I got to this situation? I' really a newbie in all this things, I just wanted to install a new ROM and after reading and searching and trying to install some kind of recovery files I got a recovery menu in Chinese. Because I didn't know what option to choose I selected something after that the phone started to vibrating and doing some noisy signal I just took off the battery cause it didn't stop. So, of course it did something bad, but after

more straggling I found a recovery file that showed me an English menu then I installed the new ROM hopping it will solve my problem. But, it is not. My phone is working fine (really surprising for me), but thew IMEI is null and SIM is not detected.

What can I do?

I tried to write IMEI inside MTK Tools (GPRS option) but it says "Fail to write IMEI due to radio unavailable or something else"

Also I tried to enter CDS Information --> Radio Information and type AT+EGMR=1,7,"MY IMEI" and I got "AT command is failed to send"

Before "doing all phone tricks" I did a backup from recovery menu, I got this file but I don't know if it can help me to restore IMEI.

Please someone help me, I'm so lost and disappointed.

Waited for a phone so long and now cannot use it.
[Hardware Hacking General] Dexter_nlb:
Although question feels wrong, i believe maybe more qualified answers can be found in this section.

Question is simple: Is a 16GB android device and its total memory calculated in powers of 1000, or using powers of 1024.

If a 16GB device and its memory is calculated by 1000, how would a developer address the last blocks of 0x3fffffff0 if you got 16*1000^3 = 0x3b9aca000 ???

I am told by this statement below, that i am wrong, which i had persistly tried to say is incorrect, when you talk device memory. you would never calculate a device total memory with powers of 1000 which the statement below continue to be said to be true?

am i wrong? any developers can confirm you would not address 0x3fffffff0 on a 16GB device, because it only has 0x3b9aca000 total bytes of memory now a days???

and furthermore i do not believe a SSD drive storage calculation logic can be compared to a android device total bytes of memory?

Hey guys, sorry for making an extra post, but if you don't know, I am trying to build CM7 for the YP-GI1 and I have the build complete but it won't boot. I used a kernel built from source and the stock kernel and neither of them allowed me to boot. When I flash the zip only download mode is accessible and there is no boot screen either. I'm not sure if it has to do with the partitions updater.sh or something...

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
Hi, Serk

Sorry for don't answering your PMs, I was in Italy and London. At first we don't need the updater.sh script because our devices are already using the ext4 filesystem. And our ROMs arent booting because of the init scripts (init.rc and init.hugo.rc). I'm converting them for booting CM7 on the Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 and you could use my work as a base for yours.

I try to flash a CM rom/kernel but i keep failing and just leaves me stuck at splash screen forcing me to use the recovery.

not sure if im doing it right but i place a folder with the zip in it go to CWM and use the zip file option there.

am i doing something?

also is it normal that after having boot loader it takes more memory?

Your phone was never bricked if you were able to just reboot into bootloader...also what toolkit are you using and are you S-ON or S-OFF?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Never used a toolkit to root anything before, but I'm under the impression it just unlocks your bootloader and then flashes a recovery for you

The next step would be to download ROM of choice (+any gapps or mods wanted) and but them on sdcard

Now boot to your recovery, wipe all, flash ROM, flash any gapps or whatever

Then if its not a stock based ROM (which is most only 3 or so old stock optimized ROMs) then you need to boot back to your bootloader and flash the kernel through fastboot

Unzip the ROM, find boot.img

Open cmd/terminal in the location of the boot.img

Then type

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Now all should work
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kittymeowmeow674:
yup got it working thanks guys. figured it on my own a bit before.

but im running into a new problem Gapps keeps giving me the unexpected close error "i think i flashed the wrong gapps for my phone"

can i just flash the right gapps to fix it? and where can i find a source for the correct one

Hansoons toolkit,and im pretty sure its S-on is what people state when using that way,,,

also seems liek i screwed up people say dont update it after installing the rom/kernel that i linked "scv's project"

but i updated how can i undo this? do i just reflash again same kernel and zip?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
If the gapps aren't specified in the op of your ROMs thread then see what version android your using and Google search

Goo inside me gapps

Then download the appropriate version and flash it in recovery. You may need to do a full wipe and then flash ROM gapps and kernel again
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kittymeowmeow674:
so i got gapps working

im curious how i can do a fresh wipe of rom and kernel i downloaded a update i wasnt suppose to that reverts it do i just redo the process i did when i first flashed it?

also is there a way to get teh genius button option working again when flashing?
