The case was with me when I flashed android Honeycomb on it. I Hard-bricked it! ( Not even showing reaction when connected to charger ) ( nor booting )

I submitted my phone to Service centre and they said it would take at least 2 months. But I got my repaired phone on the 10th day! :D

For your problem the only best solution is Service center...

Titanium S1

Hey you said that u found some tool for karbonn s1, can u tell us what is this tool? I know a tool called Acronis True Image but it requires backup image of the sys_boot partition. That means someone who has working S1/S5 has to take back up of recovery partition(sector by sector) using Acronis True Image and upload it here on xda or somewhere else and we can use that back up with the same tool. Please let me know if u have solution
[General Questions and Answers] NafeesTyagi:
Ya!

my karbonn smartphone was only responding to qpst tool (qualcomm products supporting tool)

I encountered with it while I was googling to revive my hard brick phone.

even phone was neither charging nor booting but responding to qpst.

If you want qpst tool I can send you by mail

But I don't have any backup of firmware files.

I think you should talk to zeyaan or deepa2119 they may help you probably they have back up

Hi All,

I just purchased SGNote3 N9005 yesterday. The battery performance is decent, S800 is blazing fast and I really enjoy my new GNote.

Unfortunately, the performance of the camera is sub-par compared to S4 (in overall), especially in low light condition.

Attached is the samples of the photo taken under low light condition, red spots (tint?) are seen on the screen as well as on the picture taken.

Could anyone confirm and reproduce this bug?, if not I'm looking for 1 to 1 replacement...

Is this going to be another HTC One Camera bug?

True, Note3 needs some improvement for its camera in next firmware update. At current rate, she is no better than S4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
From what I can tell, the noise and bad colours are more to do with the photographical ignorance of the user than the camera itself.

You lot would probably get this result even with an EOS 5D Mk III. STOP USING THE BLOODY AUTO SETTING.

And that would be the White Balance. Which you can also set manually.

Hey there all.

Possible clue: Have you tried with other camera apps ? I'm thinking of "Vignette" (best of them all), or "Camera360". I have been using these apps on my previous phones, and the end quality has always been stupendous (GS3, S2...). I never use the stock camera myself, except for some software tricks like "drama".

What about video quality in FullHD ?

I shoudld get my (French) Note 3 as of tomorrow or after tomorrow. WIll be testing it out because I bought this unit for its photo quality, to upgrade my S3.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
Alright so here is what you need to do:

1) Disable Smart Stabilization and only turn it on at night when you can't use the flash.

2) Try to focus on objects and see if it fails while other smartphones don't.

3) Try disabling WiFi and re-try the focus test.

4) Use an S4/Note 2 and take a picture of something in low light (NO night mode), do the same with the note 3 with Smart Stabilization OFF.

5) If really bad get a replacement, test again and you should be fine.

Smart Stabilization should remain always off unless you are taking night shots of far objects the flash can't reach, and do keep hands very steady when using it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre118:
The Note makes very decent photo's, even with the standard app. For most users the standard app wiil do, and who wants more professional setting, there are apps like FV-5. I use FV-5 a long time now, starting on my Galaxy Nexus, and I still like it. And like many other smartphones, a low light photo will have noise, depending on the circumstances. If you want better low light quality, you should buy a Lumia 1020, or the new 1520.

Buying a smartphone is just like real life, it will never be perfect. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
The Note 3 without the smart stabilization on takes very poor low light shots with a lot of noise.The saving grace is that the smart stabilization works very well to improve low light photography but you have to hold the phone very steady.

The Note 4 promises to have a camera that is up to 8 times more sensitive than the current one using a new technology called isocell.If the Note 4 lives up to this hype then I will definitely upgrade.

For all those who have reported problems, regarding the camera: Did you enter the camera's secret menu by pressing *#34971539# ?

There is a newer software version which can not be installed automatically. In mine Note 3 the option to update the camera software is grayed, so I can not try it.. Maybe someone could extract the newest firmware file and upload it somewhere in order to update and see if problems will be solved..;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
The Note 3 probably takes some of the best pics from a smart phone when there is plenty of light.Lots of detail and colour accuracy is excellent.The problems begin with low light.Smart stabilisation or flash is a must otherwise you just get a dark grainy mess that is amongst the worst of any smart phone.The Note 3 simply can't get around the physics of a small sensor with a high pixel count.You either increase the size of the sensor or reduce the number of pixels if you want good performance in low light.Hopefully the new isocell technology will work as promised in the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
You all are expecting too much from the sensor. As you guys may know that in order for the device to snap good pictures in low light it must have a big sensor. This is exactly the reason why a Canon (or Nikon etc,) 2000$ DSLR that has 12 Mega pixels will always shoot better photos in low light than say a phone with a small 13 Mega pixel sensor.

Camera's on phones were never meant to compete with something which is produced solely for the purpose of taking photos (i.e. a Camera). I think people should look at what's good in the phone for once instead of just finding weak spots. No phone is perfect.

You got the phone? Great. Enjoy it because there are a billion other people out there who cannot even afford it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
Nobody is comparing the Note 3 to a DSLR or any other dedicated camera.That would be ridiculous.My comments are based on comparison to other high end smart phones such as the iPhone 5S,LG G2,Nokia 1020 or the Sony Z1.All these phones are superior in low light.These phones either use a larger sensor like the iPhone 5S or less pixels like the LG G2.Samsung realises this and perhaps that is the reason they are developing their isocell technology which will be used in the S5 and Note4.Samsung knows that most people don't like to carry dedicated cameras any more and prefer to use their phone.The camera will become a more important feature on a smart phone.

I do have the Note3 and I don't feel the need to justify my purchase like a lot of people.I acknowledge the strength of the phone as well as it's weaknesses.It takes great pics in good lighting and the 4K video is superb.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mustajab Is'haq:
I know that you're not, but there are some people that are expecting too much, This phone has the best camera I've ever seen on a phone (along with the S4). You can do a lot with camera's if you have the proper knowledge.

The iPhone 5S has big pixels yes, but they are almost negligible. A normal user will have a hard time guessing if the photos really do benefit from those pixels. Now you're comparing this phone which is clearly aimed at the power user to phones that are aimed at the Photography crowd, The Lumia 1020 is in it's own league in the camera department as it can produce photos that are arguably better than any Point and shoot camera out there,

Also the Z1 was compared to the Lumia 1020, you can check that out here.

LG G2 does not have a better camera sensor than the N3. The note 3 has a wider aperture (f/2.2) than the G2 (f/2.4). The G2 produces washed out photos and clearly has trouble with white balance in low light, even though it has OIS. Also FYI the N3 and G2 both have the same size sensor (1/3.0"). Which means the pixel size is also same.

The Samsung Isocell technology is not going to increase the sensor size Or the pixel size, its supposed to improve Dynamic Range and AF. So don't expect any miracles with the S5 or the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
The bigger sensor AND less pixels on the iphone 5S means much better low light photos.The Note 3 takes sharper, higher resolution photos in ggod lighting with it's 13MP sensor.Again,I am addressing the low light weakness of the Note 3 camera and not it's overall performance which is very good.

Samsung realizes that it's not practical to increase the sensor size as this will mean a bigger camera module that will stick out from the back.Yes,isocell is not going to increase the sensor size but their technology is patented.They have managed to physically isolate each pixel from each other thereby significantly reducing cross talk.This will mean higher sensitivity in low light as well as sharper day time images and without the need to increase the sensor size which will mean a slimmer and lighter phone.The bulge from the back of the Nokia 1020 is hideous which of course is the result of the large 1/1.25in sensor.

Of course,isocell may not work as well as Samsung promises but if it does I will be trading up to the S5 or Note 4 for sure.Time will tell.
