[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumman Shaikh:
I feel that the hardware is not to be blamed here...

The software here is at fault..

The superior auto mode is not so superior in its job(it's ok if you want to capture something real-quick)... But if you want the best from the hardware you'll have to turn to manual controls...(Camera FV-5 is the best app I know for that)

Jpeg compression is just too much here...thus we can see the lack of detail in some photos(macro)

To get the best of the camera,My suggestions are as follows :- :D

If you like the stock camera app... 1)Turn off superior auto mode... Switch to manual mode

2) set the ISO at 200 (max) for daylight photography,,,,400 for twilight

3) HDR off

4) metering mode set to average

And if you still want better results:

1) install Camera FV-5 (full version support developer ;))

2) go to settings -> photo encoding settings -> file format -> set it to PNG ( it takes some seriously huge pics (15 mb..:-o) )

3) now apply all the manual controls mentioned above

If you think what difference does the above methods do to the quality of the photos... Take a photo with normal method (superior auto) and then manual method... And then compare..:D

If you feel that I've helped you in anyway, please hit the thank button :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] tomhm1994:
I've successfully installed a custom ROM only once before, on my note 2. I barely use my Transformer infinity becuase its so damn slow so I thought I'd try a rom. From what I understand CROMI-X is the best.

My problems are three fold:

1) I only have a mac and can't find any simple tutorials for mac users :mad:

2) I have udated my softwarre on the pad, now running 4.2.1 (build number 10.6.1.14)

3) I dont understand the difference between rooting and unlocking the bootloader :confused:

Any help would be much appreciated. Apologies for my ignorance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Unlocking the bootloader is irreversible and will cost you your warranty. You have to use the official Asus Unlock tool since the BL is encrypted and only Asus has the key. Unlocking enables you to install a custom recovery and custom rom.

Rooting only gives you access to the root level of your file system, enables you to tweak the stock rom somewhat, but doesn't help much with performance.

[Moto X General] bugsy:
I saw this posted earlier. I think the big question is does he release it and thus burn an exploit or does he wait for 4.3 in hopes that it is still there and thus provides a root option for 4.3 as well. I'm not sure which is my preference. The only thing I personally miss by not being rooted is the tethering, which I only use in emergency situations anyway, so its not crucial for me. However, it is nice to have freedom from the carrier release cycle if we get a way to flash roms without an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
you got any idea what was going on with the order in which he clicked on things in the about phone menu? was that part of the exploit or what? I couldn't tell if it was doing something or he was just showing you it was the OTA.
[Moto X General] bhundven:
Just proving the version.
[Moto X General] freak4dell:
I would rather that he wait and see if the exploit is still available in 4.3. There's a way to go back to the first build from this update, so if you really need root that badly, you can always just do that. Once SafeStrap is ready, we'll probably see a zip of the update that can be flashed, so I find little reason for him to burn this flaw right now.
[Moto X General] mj0528:
how would one go back to the first build after the update is applied?
[Moto X General] murso74:
You can't. Jcase stated in another thread that the exploit he used wasn't practical for most users so he probably won't release it. Was more a proof of concept

Hi team,

Is there a way to install a rom made for i8160 into my i8160p?

I have firmware I8160PXXMF1. For example I want to instal Kyrillos v8 rom or codina unofficial Cyanogen mod 10.1

If I force setup I8160XXMF1 on my phone will I be able? or is it a question of hardware?

Long story short, dropped the phone and shattered the screen. Digitizer dead so touch screen doesn't work!

Yesterday was the last day I could have put the insurance on it so I cant take it back to Best Buy or anything.

Called LG and they said I have to send it in but i don't wanna imagine how much hey will charge me.

Anybody know if they sell the digitizers separate to buy to replace the screen?

Any help will be appreciated

i had a case on mine, but had it off when i dropped it a couple nights ago. same story--phone still works, but the cracks the dropped caused left the screen unresponsive to touch.

i also heard the same thing from LG, but my biggest issue was that i wanted to retrieve data that i had on the phone. they said that they always wipe the data when they do any repairs on it, so i purchased that screen from china and am giving it a go on wednesday.

wish me luck! :fingers-crossed:

To be honest it is cheaper then insurance..... I bought the ProtectCell after I broke the first one. and it is $200 or something up front plus $150 every time you break it.... Aka I could fix my phone 3 times before the insurance is a better deal.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endless Vertigo:
Can't post a link since I'm new but lg(dot)com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair should work for you.

I dropped mine last week and called their 1-800 number to create a Return Authorization, rather than using the web page. Ended up being $146 to repair mine, which is still cheaper than local shops and far less risky than me trying to figure out how to do it solo. They received it Thursday, gave me the quote late Friday, and I called in to make the payment then. Hopefully it's repaired Monday and on it's way back to me by mid-week.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskraft:
Awesome. Thanks so much for the reply. I think I will give them a ring tomorrow. I had found the LG repair link prior to your reply and, oddly enough, the G2 isn't even listed in the list of selectable products, so figured I'd have to call anyhow.

I'm generally extremely careful with my devices, maybe even anal, so I generally don't buy insurance. However, this is the second phone, after my G-Nexus, which has ended up with a smashed screen due to a freak accident. Starting to rethink my take on insurance......

Thanks again!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbaruch76:
the lg g2 isn't listed because of the different model numbers (d800, vs980 etc), so just select the model you have. I'm waiting for my call from them now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaskraft:
Thanks. I noticed that after the fact. Had been looking for the G2 so overlooked the other options. Ended up using the live chat option which worked very well. Also checked back in with live chat a few times to see where the process was at once I sent it in.

Long story longer, I will have mine back in my greedy little hands tomorrow if Fed-Ex holds up their end of the bargain. Like another poster stated, the repair cost was $146, which includes return shipping, plus my cost to send it to Texas. Took about 2-1/2 weeks total from the day I shipped to getting it back tomorrow. I saw another poster-or-two mentioned that their repair was quoted at $105. Not sure why mine and others were up at $146 since mine seemed like a pretty basic crack and I figured thus, it would be at the lower end of the reported repair chargees.

Looking forward to getting it back. Had already sold my G-Nex so I've been scraping by with my resurrected Palm Pre for the past couple weeks :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbaruch76:

They are amazing phones, but their built is absolute crap. My 1st G2 was deeply scratch after a month of use. This was the 1st phone ive ever put a screen protector on. I loved the phone so much that i ended up selling it and buying a new one. Yesterday as i was sitting in my car the screen cracked while in my pocket. I posted it on eBay for $300. If i dont get any bites im going to have to send it in like the rest of you guys. $105-146 sounds very reasonable. I was expecting to pay something around $200 for the service.

Hello

I found this forum back on Dec 2nd, 2013 when I dropped and shattered my LG G2. And never really thought about sending it to LG to be repaired til I seen this forum. Well I contacted them and they send me the address and RA number. I sent it out Dec 4th. On Dec 23, they contacted me and told me how much it was gonna be and went ahead and got a payment ($146 I was quoted). I signed in Dec 27 to see where the process was.. it was repaired and shipped out. I was beyond excited. On Jan 4th, I checked my account, no money was taken out and no tracking number, so I contacted LG .. They told me my payment was declined .. I had enough money in my account, never touched it because I knew it was gonna be used. And another thing, I had to contact them, them not contact me !! So I set up another payment on Jan 10, (quoted $157 this time because now LG charges state taxes as of Jan 1st.. which is bull-hockey because I should of still been quoted 146 since I made a payment on Dec 23)... Payment declined again (they actually emailed me this time)! I just don't understand. Did anyone else have a problem with this? And LG has been horrible to deal with. They can't provide answers for anything !
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiberto:
I've had no problems with the process so far (besides them being closed at 1pm on a Monday for some reason). The day after my phone arrived they emailed me and quoted me $153 to repair it. I called them and made the credit card payment over the phone and it's already shown up on my credit card statement. Should have my phone back in a few days.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
call your creditcard company to verify its nothing wrong on their end. If the payment just wont go through ask for alternative payment method like a bank transferral.

LG won't repair moisture damaged phones

I cracked my screen and sent it off to LG for repair. Without hearing anything the tracker said that the case was closed and it was being shipped back to the customer. When I asked their web chat about it they said that the technician found the moisture sensors were tripped and they won't repair it. They explained that the moisture sensors may indicate corrosion on connectors and as a result the LCD replacement may not work. If it was up to me I would have told them to try the repair and I would pay for it whether it worked or not, however instead they just shipped it back without ever contacting me.

I am disappointed that they didn't contact me, but I will say their web chat was very good. They instantly had access to the report including photos of the damage and sensors.

If I'm lucky they shipped it back to me in pieces so I don't have to take it apart again.
