[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dekutoski:
Starting online classes I wanted to be able to do my homework without having to invest in a desktop computer. A very knowledgeable cousin suggested the Nexus 7.

I was extremely frustrated to find out this device is not compatible with any of my online courses, do to Adobe Flash no longer being supported by Google. I was not willing to accept that answer with the 300 dollar investment I made. With about 20 hours of trial and error research, I found two apps to work around both issues.

Both of the apps I have listed below are free, though Photon has ads to deal with.

The DOLPHIN browser, is a great work around for the ability to install and use Adobe Flash. Most of the early research I did suggested Firefox or Firefox Beta, with each source saying it was the only browser that worked in fixing the Adobe Flash problems. I was unable to get even Google to load within either of these browsers, and I'm still not sure why.

Dolphin works extremely well with all my courses that use McGraw Hill Connect, with LearnSmart and videos being my main issue. I first needed to go to settings to make sure the flash setting is at "always" enabled, or get the same error as in Chrome.

Grateful that I was able to find a solution to this problem, I was still unable to access the keyboard within MyMathLab. With Dolphin, the keyboard did not pull up when tapping inside the question box.

For the keyboard access issue, I found Photon. This browser has an icon in the lower right of the screen that lets you pull up the keyboard to type in the answer. There is a lightning bolt at the top of the screen that must be clicked to activate flash within the page. Be aware that this browser is VERY slow while in this mode. But be patient, because it works. With Dolphin working well for my other courses, I only plan on using Photon for MyMathLab homework.

Have a strange camera issue...

When i set iso to 200, for example, it looks like all ok, as picture goes darker, but when I take picture, it goes brighter as iso is set above 800-1000 or exposure goes to max and saves like this... and then it goes back darker on the screen... Wtf?

When I setting iso in settings to 200, I want it to capture with that iso...

No hdr or flash is enabled...

Is this the known issue and there is a fix for that? Or maybe some suggestions?

Or its just me with this issue? :)

Thanks!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destroyedbeauty:
Try with changing metering mode in Manual Camera Mode :)

Is therrs only with this issue?

Can any one try a mid light condition photo, on manual mode with any iso, but not auto...

The photos saving much brighter than they acctually shoud and appears on the screen at the moment phone captures focus...

Any help appresiated :(

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightandroid:
What kind of camera is it? What model No.?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightandroid:
I do not see anywhere on the post what model the phone is. If I knew the model, I might be able to help.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
i don't think the stock fw honours ISO settings.

It tries to up to the max then drops down till it finds a working version, so as to keep shutter speeds high,

despite what the camera app says! :eek:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawyed:
What you are experiencing is that the viewer doesn't display the image with the iso that you have selected that's why it's all dark.

But when you press the shutter it takes the picture with the right iso.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Yup. If you manually set ISO to 100 in low light, and take a pic. (ignoring the viewer) you will get a reasonable result :thumbup:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
You are in a Sony Xperia Z thread, so very likely to be one of those ;)

If your fixed ISO is dark then, your metering is up the wack or the exposure is too short for the light in the sceen

Exactly as stated here, the same issue happens on most cameras LCD's in low light shots.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightandroid:
Sorry 'bout that, I saw this post from the 'latest posts' section and forgot to look and see which thread this was in. :P
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazz:
Looks like it, the picture on the screen is too dark...:( is there any workaround for this ?

Its almost nothing visible on the screen if iso is low, i just want to see what im going to picture, before i take a photo.... :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawyed:
Did you try turning off HDR?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazz:
Hdr is not a problem here, and it is not turned on...

Problem is if in normal mode and iso set to 100 or 200 for example, in the mid light condition you almost dont see anything on the viewfinder, the picture is too dark, but if you take a photo it comes out bright and all is visible on it...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawyed:
I know, but hdr makes a difference in the viewfinder when iso is set low.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazz:
Hdr makes no difference for me

Its probobly problem with the camera app, it tries to imitate iso in viewfinder, but overlays is too dark... :(

Theres must be a way to fix this!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harosxcomp170:
I'm sorry to the people sick of all these should I or should I not get the Note 3. But with that being said I'm a Verizon customer and considering that the Galaxy S4 still doesn't have the bootloader unlocked. Do you think there still might be a chance of getting the bootloader unlocked on the Galaxy Note 3? I'm just having a tough decision now about getting this locked up device and might just get the Galaxy Note 2 Titanium just because I know no matter what I'll be able to unlock the bootloader and not have to kexec it nor have to worry about Knox. But for all I know a month down the road we might see the light at the end of the tunnel and someone might be able to unlock the bootloader and maybe disarm Knox security. Any thoughts on this you guys?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SgtGoldy:
KNOX son! It's gonna be a pain in the a** and awhile till a dev team can get something out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LillieBennett:
I'm going to take the plunge. There is plenty to learn on the device and since the system gives freeze and hide functionality on the bloat I might just enjoy the stock. Knox might be something I would like.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clamhost:
Comparing my Note 2 to HTC One, the One has a noticeably better screen, high res, less pixelated. On the other hand, the Note 3 will probably have no pixelation, w00t w00t. Seriously don't get the Note 2 unless its really cheap.

Dude, U should've contacted me via PM instead of opening a new thread asking me for help. Anyways, the link i provided must work for every CM10.1 ROM AFAIK. I personally did it a long back (on jenkins builds) and succeeded in it. U might have done it incorrectly. Try to do it once again and u might have faced errors while compiling. Always make a backup before editing. If u still get error, PM me. I will see what i can do.

Hey guys I'm new to swappa. I just upgraded from my gs3 to htc one and I want to sell my gs3. It's in near perfect condition.

Currently I restored the factory firmware before I upgraded with at&t and relocked the bootloader and unrooted. Is it ok to sell in this state?

I saw some phones being sold with cm10.1 installed. Just curious if I should unlock the bootloader or anything before I posted it.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
most people that use xda very actively would want it unlocked and with cyangenmod clean flashed onto it. i think it having root/unlocked would increase the value but most everyday people wouldnt want it rooted. so like modified for more money but less amount of people would want to buy it, unmodified more buyers for less money.
[General Questions and Answers] Heisenberg420:
I'm sure if the buyer is active on xda they would have no problem unlocking and rooting it, maybe I'll say in the ad will unlock/root upon request.
[General Questions and Answers] stratatak7:
You can sell the phone however you want as long as it's in working, stable condition and there are no chips in the glass. :) Any ROM you choose, just make sure you state it in your listing. Feel free to quote me and ask more questions if you have any!

Might me a dumb question but my old sim card should be removed when selling correct?
[General Questions and Answers] stratatak7:
It is definitely a good idea to remove the old SIM card. There could be retrievable data on there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahoowizard:
Hey, I'm probably going to upgrade to the Nexus 5, and I'm wondering around when people are planning to sell their phones. I was worried initially after the Nexus 4 price dropped, but now that they're sold out officially, I think price would/has gone back up. However, after the Nexus 5 debuts, I'm sure our phone goes back down in value, assuming they have the same price.

Of course, just trying to max out the resale value of a used Nexus 4, but there are a lot of things that are still uncertain, like whether the Nexus 5 will be out of stock for a month+ after debut like the Nexus 4 was, due to not making enough phones.

Still curious as to when you're selling your phones.

This question isn't applicable to me as I am S-OFF but it is something that has been on my mind for a while.

Say you have a brand new HTC one with hboot 1.54 and you're wanting to flash CWM. How do you backup the stock recovery before replacing it? What I did with my phone on 1.44 was fastboot boot recovery and dump the recovery partition using dd. That method no longer works on 1.54.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
It's not a backup per say, but you can always extract stock recovery from a decrypted RUU zip and re-flash it whenever needed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uronfire:
I have the o2 UK branded phone. Have exactly the same dilemma as the op mentioned.

Can I extract recovery from an old ruu or ota and flash to a new firmware as the new ruu or ota is not available for my phone.

I'm on 1.54 hboot 2.24.206.7

And the available ota is 1.29

Does the recovery get updated too as the phone updates or does it remain the same.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyhemg:
Hello all

Today I started experiencing a problem with my SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 GT-I9505.

I must say first that I did not do anything to him today or any other day in the whole month I he is at my reach.

Today when I took the phone from my pocket to see something I saw there's a black screen with time and date and the signs of battery and reception with no availability to do anything with him.

I took off the battery and it came back to normal but then again turned to that screen. I made a factory reset through the settings and it seemed to help for a few hours but then it came back. Now I'm with that black screen and can't do anything.

I must say that sometimes the black screen goes off and my original screen comes back but it comes back.

I disabled all the sensors and the option in Settings which refers to S View Cover (I understood from googling it that this screen shows up when I have S View Cover - which I don't have! )

What should I do? This phone is a new phone - I had it only for a month (and a bit more)!!!

PLEASE HELP ME

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HIM

Edit: Here's a photo of the screen

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
So I have been creaming over this phone for an entire month. But after reading again and again, i decided against it. I am seriously considering tmobile's, Here is why .

I am ordering the phone full price from verizon so i can keep my unlimited . I Tether all the time and my lowest data usage has been around 6 gb, i can go up to 60 sometimes in a month.

right now I own the S3, its of course unlocked and rooted with custom everything.

1- The fact that now KNOX is coming to the picture and the uncertainty of the rooting future scares the crap out of me. WIthout rooting, i cant tether, so i am buying a full price phone to keep an unlimited that i will not use to its full potential as I wish. ( this is not a moral thread, please refrain from giving me life lessons ). I also hate ads with a passion, gotta run ad blocker, and i cant imagine living life without XPOSED. ROOT IS A MUST.

2- Tmobile phones come unlocked, I am btw only referring to bootloader, which i care deeply for, I dont travel internationally , so sim unlocked is not an issue I care for, from the very first day, I need to verify it , but if thats the case, then i will finally feel like I own my phone that I bought .

3- with an extra 10 dollar month, i get to change my phone every 6 months. AND THIS AMOUNT INCLUDES INSURANCE FOR MY PHONE .

4- T mobile is a heck of a lot cheaper , unlimited every thing costs a fraction of verizon.

5- I will beat my self with an ugly stick , if they release a verizon developer edition in the future. I'll wait a month or two ( its killing me inside ) to see the developer status, if they release it , i might contemplate ordering it from samsung , but it will fix 99 % of my disappointments.

6 -Unless the dev. community unlocks the phone , at least root it , verizon note 3 is just a loser deal in every single way. so once again its wise for me wait .

7- the wifi calling feature , i feel would make up for tmobiles lack of great coverage .

I think i have to stop behaving like a kid and have some patience to see the root and developer status with verizon note 3

Back in the day , it was all about service reliability for me. But now my phone is more than just for phone calls. Its my tablet, laptop, navigator and actually , very lil for direct phone calls. Is verizons service really worth paying outright $ 700 for a phone , that i cant use the way i like ?

The point of this thread - insight , some members here have done a fantastic job pointing out things that would not have foreseen on my own. Thanks to all in advance !
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rchapoteau:
I'm switching to Tmobile also but from AT&T pretty much for the same reasons you mentioned. Even in paying for Jump, my plan is still cheaper with Tmobile then the same plan is for AT&T.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] JAmerican:
Considering T-Mobile as well because I'm on Sprint and you know how their data and network is... :eek::silly:'

Also Sprint had the smart decision of making the Note 3 single band LTE :confused:. They are the only carrier in US with single band LTE Note 3 while their network has tri-band LTE. T-mobile has like quad-band LTE support along with the others. I'm also on a Sprint Sero Premium plan which makes switching difficult as I'll be paying more through T-mobile but I think it will be worth it for the better overall network experience. I may just keep my Sprint and use T-Mobile $30 plan with the Note 3 for a month to see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bp328i:
I left Verizon over a year ago, went to Sprint (big mistake) and had the Note II now I'm on T-Mobile with a Nexus 4 waiting for my pre-ordered Note III to ship.

I have ZERO issues with T-Mobile and I'm so glad to be away from Verizon's politics. I mean when the Galaxy S III came out they were the only carrier in the world to lock the bootloader.

If T-Mobile's coverage is good in your area I would say make the jump!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
Doesn't T-Mobile throttle your data though? What good is unlimited data if it gets throttled after 2GB?

I am on Verizon's unlimited data as well. What I do when I want to tether is I switch my SIM card from my Crapple iPhone 5 to my wife's Crapple jail broken iPhone 5 and tether away.

Yes, it's a major hassle, but hopefully the Note 3 gets rooted. I don't think KNOX has any effect on the bootloader being unlockable.

And it's way better than being on a carrier that throttles LTE.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rchapoteau:
The Note 3 has already been rooted in the developer forums.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bp328i:
T-Mobile has unlimited data, but they have several different amounts of "HighSpeed" you can select from. They have 500mb, 2.5gb and unlimited.

If you choose lets say the 2.5gb plan then yes once you go over the 2.5gb you get throttled but if you choose the unlimited then you do not get throttled.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
No throttling

Their unlimited 4g plan has no throttling and 2.5 gb personal hot spot included. with their edge and unlimited text and talk and not paying the price phone in full its 94 per month. if i pay every thing out right ( which is what i am planning ) becomes 80 a month.

I also wanna add another reason, Jump from t-mobile: the $10 jump fee, includes insurance for the phone and the upgrade every 6 months !
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
thats not the verizon edition

verizon's edition , from what I hear will be bootloader locked. What scares me is that HTC one has not been rooted till now ! Also , S4 bootloader is still locked, although they do have root. However, this is pre-knox days .
[Galaxy Note 3 General] krelvinaz:
I am leaving Verizon mid Oct, when my contract ends. There is no reason for me to stay as they have made it clear they don't want my business. Been a long time.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mingkee:
We all do not know whether T-Mobile version has unlocked bootloader or not.

However, if you pay in full in the first place, you can receive unlocked code after the trial period is over.

If you have Nationwide 4G, phone only data is 100% (or 99.9999999999%) unlimited and you have 2.5GB hotspot sharing included, but according to my experience, I don't see throttling on sharing part yet (your mileage may vary however because I am a 10 years customer).

Make sure you get HSPA and/or LTE wherever you are.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rchapoteau:
I think tmobile may throttle you after 5gb on the unlimited plan but in not sure. Thats fine with me though.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] mingkee:
If you have Nationwide 4G data as I have ($20 with Value/Simple plan), your data is unlimited with phone (get old version of My Account - a guy holding a phone) and it shows 9.xxxGB.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bp328i:
T-Mobile has no history of locking bootloaders so I would put my money on that the bootloader will not be locked. Even more so now that they don't have contracts and your buying your phone outright.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deeznutz1977:
14.8gb of 9765.62gb to that's pretty much unlimited.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jmichaels1982:
waw this rocks

Well i am really grateful for all the constructive additions to this thread. Thanks to each and every one of you. I think I am going to preorder the tmobile edition tomorrow, and i just found out that they give 20 days trial period instead of verizon's 14 days. So i can really play with the reception and see how they stack up against my s3 with verizon.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] darkkterror:
I'm on Verizon right now but I preordered the T-Mobile Note 3. I've never had T-Mobile before but I'm willing to try them out. Their coverage map looks good in my state but coverage maps can be deceiving. I'm definitely gonna be driving around and checking things out for the first 14 days. I hope all goes well because I don't want to stay on Verizon and I'd rather things go well with T-Mobile than to go to AT&T.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
So wait a minute.

Say I have the $80 everything unlimited plan on TMobile.

That includes 2.5GB of hotspot tether.

What if I use a third party app or a custom ROM that hides the hotspot use? Can T-Mobile still catch that and spank me?

Reason I ask is because I live in an RV for part of the year so I don't have access to cable internet. LTE is my only source of internet.

I tether about 80 to 100 GB per month on average. How would that work on T-Mobile?
