Have you tried one of the cyanogenmod 10.1.3 RCs? Do a clean install and try that. I would also try the Cm10 (4.1.2) version to see if it fails there too.

Never thought about g+ interference. Great idea, I'm out off town right now, when I get home tomorrow I'll definitely try getting rid of or disabling that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lancemulvihill85:
I never thought to try cm 10. I'm currently running moar Rom as my daily for now, I'll definitely try that one and the rc3. I've been away from home for a couple days and will try when I get back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lancemulvihill85:
Never thought to try cm10, and will also try the rc, thanks a lot for trying to help guys

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Forcystos:
I'm interested in this thread as the same thing is happening to me. Currently running MD4 stock, and each time I back up to flash a non-Touchwiz ROM and flash it, the camera stops working. Currently tried CM 10.1.0 stable, CM 10.2 nightlies, Slim Bean 4.2.2, Slim Bean 4.3, Vanilla Rootbox 4.2.2, Vanilla Rootbox 4.3, and PAC-Man 4.3. Reflashing stock MD4 from Odin, restoring the TWRP backup, or flashing MOAR or a similar Touchwiz ROM gets it working again. Want to get this working since I want a different ROM, preferably Slim or the like. Camera firmware starts with GK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aoebht:
This has happened to me a couple of times on liquid. I just reboot and it usually fixes it. I happened to notice that this occurs when I had 2 apps that used the camera opened at the same time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Forcystos:
Yeah, no, if a reboot helped there wouldn't be a thread at all. At least in my case. I'm talking multiple clean flashes so there's no possibility of a second camera app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lancemulvihill85:
Sorry I've been absent but my s3's modem took a dump on me and am currently waiting for my replacement. Will try on my refurbished phone when best buy calls me back!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kngdmond:
I've faced the same issue with liquidsmooth 2.10. Only with a fresh install can I use the stock camera. If I install any other camera app or a qr scanner app it wigs the camera out. Tried flashing different kernels and replacement cameras and each attempt failed. Convinced its a 4.3 bug.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimMan:
Just wondering if anyone ever came up with a fix for this? My GS3 is like 3 weeks old and I can not get a camera to work on any ROM??

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonofskywalker3:
I am working on a stock based stripped rom, something to use as an easy base for future releases, or for people who want to stay mostly stock but remove all the bloatware. I'm looking for 5 beta testers willing to give the rom a try.

Requirements:

Verizon verion of the device (thats the only one I have to test on, I will try to expand to other carriers in the future)

Knowledge of ADB, logcat, etc. for error feedback

TWRP installed

Rooted Device

nandroid backup highly recommended

Please send me your email in a PM if you're interested in helping.

And if you're wondering about my credential's I'm the first to tell you i'm just a zip wizard, but check out Blackhole on the HTC thunderbolt, Samsung Fascinate, and Droid Bionic to see where I'm planning on going with this. In the end I'll have put together a fully customized rom using the aroma installer instead of ROM Manager this time, where you start with a stock base, and then pick your browser, launcher, theme, etc. so you'll have everything you want and nothing you don't.

Anyone tested it before??
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konstruktor:
there are a lot of things you can turn off (for example with pimp my rom if you don't wanna search for scripts). most of the turn-off varification-things make things worse from my experience. force closes are probably coming up.

when it comes to GB there is not much needed to make everything run fine. debloating should be enough.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondBond:
Don't do this while running in system, just pop it in ur build.prop and the 2nd dalvik parameter is not gaining full performance, go download on of my newer GB Roms like xelite, open build.prop and copy that dalvik parameter... ;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] atekant:
OK, I am having a case crisis for the Universal.

It is too heavy for pockets. Carrying it closed for protection has problems (don't know about hinging that screen that many times, voice call doesn't work, can't see who's calling, etc.) so I will probably end up carrying it face up, and need protection for the screen. So the case is a must.

Here is what I could find that is available for the JasJar. Please share your opinions, experiences.

- The case that comes with JasJar: I am not going to say anything.

- XaX Leather Case: Seen this one in person. A very tight fit, and not a good one. I couldn't figure out how to make the camera work without taking it out of the case. It took me about 30 seconds of fiddling with it to decide I don't want it. http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=125516

- The case at tabfone. I have no other info on this other than the picture they have which shows nothing. http://www.tabfone.com/pro_per_content.asp?id=82

- Proporta pouch case. I like pouch cases/holsters, so I am considering this one. I wish they had more descriptive pictures though. http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=1354&t_mode=des

- Proporta book-like case: This looks good in the pictures, but what is that plastic wrap thing around the keyboard. Looks like it is a little pocket where the base slides in. How are we supposed to use the keyboard?

http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=1353&t_mode=des

- PDair Leather Book Case: This looks similar to the Proporta book case. The last image (click on the main image) shows the problems of using the camera with book cases in general. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/7749.htm

More pictures here: http://www.gadgetair.com/scripts/main/viewitem.php?itemid=1921&pdaid=190

- Non descript case: This one looks like the Xax. I like the horizontal carrying mode. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/7866.htm

Let the money wasting begin
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Daimaou:
Thanks lord ! I was fed up to wear a DBU to go to wrok in order to carry my JasJar (this is the good effect of being the boss nobody can complain ;))

AnywaI I will get and try this one which really look like my old one for the 9090

Will order it and will let you know

Cases

I am also particularly interested in those that do buy and their feedback. Initial impressions are that it is going to add significant size to an already existing large size, it it gets much bigger we'll need a backpack. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] elwuero:
I think that a vertical hanging case will work best becuase of the length of the unit. I have a T-Mobile pouch with a belt clip that came with my HP 6315 and the Jasjar fits perfectly in it. When I clip it to my waist there is a big bulg since it is in a horizontal position if I am wearing a suit jacket or an outside hanging shirt. I think if it was just hanging vertically it wouldnt even be noticeable.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] foxnolds:
I agree. I have a VajaCase for my XDA II with a belt clip that swivels.

It is just great. Unfortunately Vaja don't make a case for the HTC Universal yet. :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] elwuero:
Vaja once made a great case for a Sony PDA that also had a swivel screen. It was super thin but provided protection from scratches. I cant remember what the model of the Sony PDA was but it was several years ago. I put the case on the Clie and never took it off. The top part would just slip off screen so you could swivel the screen around. I have purchased several cases from them and this one im mentioning was the best ever. I am going to email them right now and make a request they make a similar case for the Universal.

d
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Daimaou:
Yes but when you sit... :x
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] foxnolds:
Not a problem - it swivels out of the road!

The XDA II is the same length, slightly longer actually, just not as thick or heavy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] foxnolds:
Oh well,

here is my response from Vaja:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] elwuero:
i just love my jasjar! the last few days i have gone without a case. this was one of the reasons i liked the idea of the rotating screen. i feel its safe in my pocket with the screen protected.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Daimaou:
OK so guys Forget about expansys.... I mean I always heard bad stuff n them, but my first purchase from them will be the last. I order my case, and after several days no change on my order, I called them and they said that I would have to wait 2 to 3 weeks to get my case.... :shock:

JUST FOR A CASE !

i've bought several items from expansys-US(jam,sp3i and jasjar). i never had problems from them in terms of shipping or product availability.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] BrooksG:
GM,

Did you buy your Jasjar from the USA Expansys site. If so, when? I saw it listed last month and order one, but now my "order tracking" says that it has been discontinued.

Where have others in the states bought their Jasjar from?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] gm:
yup, I bought it from expansys-US the day when it was released and currently using it with T-Mob.

and about the quality?! it's pielframa, i guess you or better i don't have to say anymore.

http://www.pielframa.net/prodi.asp?ID=412

and they also have a special jasjar made case:

http://www.pielframa.com/imate_jasjar.htm
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] orinoco:
hi zwuncki:

does the "universal" case from piel frama fit really well the jasjar? i looked at the specs on piel frama's web site and the "maximum dimensions"listed are 129 x 78 x 21 mm. The JASJAR is quoted as 127.7 x 81 x 25 mm, so it seems it is thicker and wider than the maximum "allowed" by piel frama.

does it fit really well in your experience?

does the belt clip rotate?

thanks,

fernando

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurtie_R:
Hello everyone, I have been searching around but haven't found any answers yet. I Installed the 4.3 Google Play Edition without an issue, except for one thing. Whenever I close an app or turn the volume up or down I get an audio pop out of the speakers like the amp is shutting off. It doesn't do it on sense based roms only the Google Play Edition ones. Has anyone else experienced it? Is their a kernel or some sort of patch to remedy this? Any help would be great, I love the rom but can't stand the constant feedback through the speakers.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help please. Just took delivery of my z1 and the pictures look absolutely terrible. It's current set to superior auto but every photo looks so grainy on screen. Anyone else experiencing similar issues?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinn___________:
Yes, I'm less than impressed with mine - certainly nowhere near dslr level as they were touted. I get a lot of noise on mine and they are over exposed.

If you manually focus with camera button then take pic, results are somewhat better but still disappointing.

Guys, do we have any informed update about the camera low quality issue? Is it an early release issue which will be fixed by an update or should I return my phone and get another one in a couple of months?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schadowx277:
Use Manual mode with Night setting

I've come across a lot of people complaining about the camera not giving out noise-free images like it's supposed to. The trick is to use manual mode. I agree, if you use Superior Auto mode, it's a miss most of the times, and when it does work, it gives a purple-ish tint at the corners.

However, If you use manual mode and select the

SCENE

to NIGHT, the images come out amazing and noise-free!

[DO NOT JUDGE THE IMAGE BY WHAT THE VIEWFINDER SHOWS YOU. A lot of things happen when you press the shutter button. The viewfinder simply goes red for making it easy to focus. The final image in the gallery is a hundred times better]

The Scene modes are one of the most commonly ignored settings.

I hope this helps!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavinfabl:
Sorry. Most people just want to use auto mode and haven't got time to fiddle here and there.

The scenes help but they are not the cure in that the underlying problem of poor quality is there. I wonder if people who post either are using a different software version, or are being paid by Sony to post positive remarks.

Nor is it acceptable that we should resort to using alternative camera apps. This phone cost £600 or up to.

It should work as advertised on the tin.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenthil:
Did anyone face auto-focus issues? Sometimes the camera stuggles to auo focus..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veletron:
No focus issues on mine, just horrible, grainy images. really really unimpressed with the camera. If this is a firmware issue then I am really unimpressed that they saw fit to release it in this state.

Example's here - note the complete lack of any detail, the grainy over compressed background. Zoom in slightly and see the over sharpening that has been done, the bike frame goes jagged.

The camera was one of the reasons I bought this phone, and in its current state, I declare it 'unusable'

My old GT-N7000 Galaxy Note 1 took way better photo's

Poor Poor Poor! Shame on you, Sony!

Hi Nigel,

I appreciate your frustrations. I have just moved onto the Z1 after holding onto my old but trust worthy Galaxy S2 and after the expense and hype surrounding the release feel let down by the camera as well. Suggestions seem that issues may be resolved once further firmware updates come about, not sure how soon these will happen though.

Anyhow off to take some crappy photos sine it's nice in Stirling today lol! :p

I said the photos in http://scratch.veletron.com/z1 are my examples of the Z1, not in any other folder on that site. Go look at the properties in the files in http://scratch.veletron.com/z1 and you will see 'C6903' as the camera model.

Some numpty then went and picked up some pics from some ancient ebay auctions on the same site, and claimed that I reckoned these were taken by the Z1. Know your facts Geoffxx !! You are making yourself look like a right amateur!

Since taking the pics in http://scratch.veletron.com/z1 , I have added some 100% crops of the same pics.

Oh, and its no good looking at the pics on your phone, if you want to see their true ugliness quality-wise, look at them on a PC.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
Dude, mine has mostly been taking splendid photos and yes on low light and superior auto, its ****... Its seems the .534 firmware has fixed this issue quite a bit because I took low light photos which were much better... Will do a proper test tonight but definetly looks like its an improvement...Head over to the General section anf flash either the central europe or generic .534 firmware.. Its simple and should fix quite a few issues (flash this only if you have a UK unlocked LTE model.. If you have an O2 one, there is the update there too :))
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veletron:
Mine is EE. Took some more photos today in better light, with more acceptable results. If the 534 FW has made things better then at least there is hope for the future.

Funny how on some of the 100% crops, some bits of the image look nice close-up, while others bits (where the texture of the subject became more complex) look a mess. See the shed door closeup. In each case, the 8MP superior auto pic was better than the 20MP manual pic.

Have any of you just recently had an update for the camera in relation to landscapes and providing info for landscapes? Got one on my phone about half an hour ago.....so would suggest that Sony is working in the background on updates for the camera which is a good sign :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
Good luck to getting any updates on your EE branded phone! You might have to flash and debrand your phone which might screw up your warranty... This is why although i'm on EE, I got an unlocked phone from Phones4u!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleary:
Flashing other software does not void your warranty.

Even if it needed to go back to EE for whatever reason, you can backup current sw before flashing and put that back on to keep them happy.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoffxx:
some may not agree but............using flashtool to update the firmware is actually a smoother process than using PCC - or SUS, the only drawback is that you have to download the FTF file yourself - but as long as you know were to put it and know your way around the PC files system it is really very easy

and no 100% it does not void your warranty

Flashtool is really very good once you get it running

Sony still dont know how to handle the picture processing, the crazy amount used (ex. noise reduction, causing loss of details, smearing)

in higher iso/lower light is ridiculous.

XPZ was a disaster, XPZ1 is a little better (or actually worse considering the HW used and the potential...)
