[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turnipfarmer:
So all models have the same 5" diamond pentile matrix 1080p OLED display, arguably the best and definitely one of the most interesting smartphone displays around, but are there any decent settings for non-TW based ROMs?

Obviously this is subjective and dependent on purpose, but my preference for any computer display is to aim for sRGB / 6500k colour. Thanks to some amazing work by AndreiLux, the best option seems to be anything running a kernel with the right version of his STweak (or Synapse) software, where you can load a preset profile based on professional calibration of a similar unit. Awesome.

As far as I can tell this means using either his own Perseus kernel for i9500 or Wanam's Adam kernel for i9500/i9505 (which has it incorporated, I'm not sure but rather hoping that the i9505 version also has the S4 display preset included), the only problem is that both of these only support TW ROMs. Then there's Samsung's "Movie" mode, which seems to me the second best option but again is TW only.

Personally I'm getting the i9505 as I need/want 4G and much prefer even the GPE ROM to TW (and I don't mind the slightly inferior DAC + camera sensor), but the lack of any decent display settings seems like a major oversight by Google and I'm surprised it isn't picked up on more by the media. As much as I don't want to, I might end up running TW for this reason alone.

So my question really is whether there are any options for display calibration on a non-TW based ROM? AOSP is understandly lacking in this department but AFAIK the GPE ROM incorporates a lot of the TW code and closed drivers etc. so it stands to reason that it should theoretically be possible.

Got a sim lock on a originaly non sim lock GT-I9505ZKANEE

Phone: GT-I9505ZKANEE

Problem:Sim lock on a originally _non_ sim locked phone.

The problem came after a bad zip flash, tried to zip a mod on stock rom when it was not intended for stock rom,(i was tired n yeaah....) in clockwork recovery. - it actually finalized in some way after being stuck on initial point, but then after reboot it was stuck on samsung logo.

So made factory reset in clockwork recovery.

Then in odin flashed in I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXAAMDM_DBT

I went well all okay, phone booting up properly n so.

But it had gotten sim locked... as it asks for sim network unlock code on my tre sim (Hutchison 3G) wich worked fine before and is still working on my s2 phone.

Tried to unlock by following http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2282683

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2283068

and has manged to put it in SHA256_ENABLED_FLAG[1]

SHA256_OFF => SHA256_ON

and gotten it to of mode after reboot

But still sim locked to some unknown network provider...

I also tried flashing Swedish tree labeled firmware I9505XXUBMEA_I9505HTSBME3_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar but no still sim lock (and also no debug menu)

I also tried nightly cm but nop...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esterra:
Hi there. :)

As my good old gnex yesterday, got a big fall, it felt down from 2nd floor outside the window, and on the asphalt.

I need a new phone as fast as possible.

I know that the N5 is around the corner, but i can`t wait. I need phone for work.

The desired phones are - Galaxy s4, nexus 4, or maybe note 3.

Looked at Htc One, but i need a little bit bigger screen than 4,7inch.

Any suggestions?

between S4 and N4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
What about getting another cheap/used GN, then order the N5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
I would order a cheap phone to get you by, then order the N5 when it comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rd. Vortex:
Personally I can recommend SGS4 as an upgrade for the Galaxy Nexus. I just recently switched from GNex as my main phone to SGS4. Performance even on stock is so sweet compared to the aging Nexus (running latest stable Slim Bean). Flashing custom ROMs won't be as easy as on the Nexus though and you'll get KNOX warranty void AFAIK...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esterra:
I think, i`ll go for it. :) i`ve newer tried touchwiz, ;D

And, i hope, that the performance improvement will be noticable. :)

And, i can any time make it a Google edition . :good:

I know that the N5 is around the corner, but i don`t care. And in my country it will be maybe only next year. As the N4 showed in stores only in may. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trocheol57:
I would probably go for note3 only if i could afford it. I herd good things about battery life on note 2 so i assumed note3s would be par with note2.

another consideration would be s4 (only cuz my friend have 1 and its blazing fast outta box) or G2 ( i herd good things about this 1)

since we all come from nexus, if you don't miss dev supports, i know what we miss- battery life, so i would go for note3, g2 or s4 if NOT going for

nexus 5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Get a barebones phone for now and grab an N5 when it's out, that's goin to be in a few days and you will have one of the beastly device ;) !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esterra:
I can go for Note 3 too, but the size is a bit scaring me.

Anyways, i`m going to buy a new phone on contract, not in direct way. And as i said for the nexus, it will only be available on contract here in my country, maybe next year .

Or maybe go for Htc One?

Or get the Nexus 4 and after a half year go for N5 when it will be available.

The biggest thing now is to choose from N4 and S4.

N4 has great developement support, but the S4 has great specs and 5inch 1080p display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lieuwex:
I should go with the nexus 4 and then buy a nexus 5 when it's cheap or wait for the nexus 6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The G2 is a bigger version of the N5.

It has a bigger screen, better camera, bigger battery, etc.

I'd love a G2, except I can't bring myself buying an LG phone after the G2x I had.

I'm really torn between the G2 and the Note3 or S4.

The G2 is the best phone out there ATM with S800 processor, 1080P screen, 2 or 3gb of Ram, 16mp camera with hardware anti-stabilizing. They have some really slick looking stock cases. The back buttons are kind of weird until you think about using it with a flap case, no longer do you have to search the side of the phone for the buttons. Being on the back would make it sweet for controlling volume when listening to speaker calls or pandora.

It is also getting released on all major carriers in the US and worldwide, all with the same specs. So I suspect that development will be pretty good on it. especially that the N5 will be it's little brother, roms should be able to be ported relatively easily.

The Verizon version also has Qi Charging AND is UNLOCKED for GSM radios. So you can pop in a AT&T/Tmobile/StraightTalk/SimpleMobile and go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TacticalDesire:
Buy the GS4 and call it a day. Especially if you have the money and can't wait. Otherwise, get a used Nexus 4 or some other phone and hold out.
[HTC One V] ohn42:
Hi all,

I´m thinking about installing a custom Sense Rom again and I wonder, what apps can be removed without risk.

What Google or HTC apps can be deleted (with Titanium Backup) without touching the following mandatory functions for me:

- WiFi

- mobile Date

- Phone/SMS/MMS

- Bluetooth

- clock with alarm&timer

- GPS (i use Nike+ app)

- Exchange Email (Mail/Contact/Calender)

- Google Play Store and the ability of installing apps

- Camera (Foto/Video)

- Plackbay Music and Video

All other apps/functions are not relevant for me.

Is there a list of needed apps I better don´t touch?

Thanks for your support!

Bye ;)

Every time I try to login to messenger I get

logon to msn messenger service failed because service is not responding

As a test downloaded Agile messenger and it worked first time

Error happens whether I am using usb, gprs or wifi for web access
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] peteypye:
Skearon,

I get the same problem when using it via GPRS, although Cable and WiFi is fine...

Can I ask a quick question? Are you using a custom email address? i.e. 'Pete@gmail.com' as your .NET passport? or are you using an actual @hotmail/msn account?

I am using a custom account, *******@*****.me.uk, and this normally causes problems with the MSN protocol (server side applications) the only other way round it for pocket msn would be to create a hotmail account and use that on ur PPC.

Hope that helps a bit?!

Cheers.

Using GPRS ( not in 3G area) we logged into MSN with no problem
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
Skearon,

I have had the same problem, but cannot force it to happen.

Use a non hotmail adress on MSN.

But Agile seems to be better. And, I have the impression that Agile recovers better when having been without GPRS signal, like an underground.

MSN mostly did not recover and showed the "tap to sign in" so leaving me who knows how long without being on line.

Yes I also get this. It happens frequently but not always, and I've got a hotmail.com email.

Moandal,

Try Agile..... It (still) is for free. I use it day after day.

Don't change its notification sound however. I have the feeling that that may cause it freezing randomly.

Thank you very much ghost. I installed the rom and I love it. Very nice:good:

I have two questions:

1- Why don't you provide us with recovery installable zips?

2- I had purchased and installed navitel app before I flash your rom. After flashing your rom,my device id is changed and my app cannot be registered. I don't know what this device id is. But I am pretty sure that it is not the phone serial number nor the android-id. Navitel support says that the device id is not changed if we update the official OS and this happens only in the case of custom roms. Do you have any idea what is changed in your rom and if we can restore it from official OS?

Sorry for the long question, and thank you again for the perfect work:)

Hi Friend,

for moment i not have more time to make new rom upgradable with recovery...in the next houres arrive the second version!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naujoks:
I've just been running some tests on my Z1 camera.

I noticed that it's virtually unable to produce straight lines.

I've attached a picture of my PC's monitor (in admittedly difficult light) and as you can see the normally straight lines of the bezel and windows all bulge.

Does anyone else have that issue? Is my camera a duff one?

I'm extremely hesitant to send it in to Sony for repair. Currently they have my old Xperia Z for repairs, to replace the camera module that developed black spots. It's been three weeks and still waiting for it to come back (UK repair centre).

It's those kind of issues that make choosing a Sony extremely frustrating, as much as I want to love the brand.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinormy:
It's.from the lens of the camera. If someone else's camera doesn't show that aberation you should go to Sony. Only way to get it right is post processing every picture.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exry:
For comparison I took some shots with an old 350D, with kit objective (18-55mm).

One shot with at 18mm, one at 55mm, one with my Z1 and one with an old Xperia Pro.

350D:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naujoks:
Your Z1 is also quite bumpy, not perhaps not as much as mine.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exry:
Although I don't know how much of distortion is acceptable, it's probably because of the very low focal length and wide angle? I'm no photographer but I expected it to bulge a bit.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoniality:
yeah i mentioned this in the camera thread in the general section. every Z1 i've tested does this (10+ phones plus every image i've seen of a grid or line from the z1 on this forum). depending on the way the lense is mounted most deformation will normally appear towards the extreme top or bottom of an image.

ps. if you bought your phone from a uk network and are outside of your in store exchange period and wanted to get it repaired (not that i think there are any current z1's without this problem and therefore a lense that would be much better to be put into your phone) than send it through the network shop for a warranty repair and it will be repaired or replaced by anovo (all network shops use them) in around 5 working days.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *R2D2*:
That´s not unexpected.

If you make a wideangle lens this small there will be always quite a lot of distortion. Almost all cameras nowadays correct this distortions in the image-processing.

The problem is that the optical distortion changes with very close focus-distances and most software-corrections only adjust to the lenses focal-length (when having a zoom-lens), but not to the focus-distance, so the software-correction is wrong.

It seems that Sony does a combination of optically correcting the distortion in the lens, additionally to the software-corrections, which causes this very complex distortion, which quite strong pincushion-distortion in the center while still having some barrel-distortion at the edges of the image.

In distances 1m+ there is hardly any visible distortion left.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoniality:
That's very interesting and the most insightful reply on this topic in any thread yet, thanks. My only concern is that i have read a report of a picture of a horizon have both the barrel distortion and pincushion problems which is at some distance. I'll have to check for long distance distortion. If it's not there i'm happy.
