try turning on the touch to snap picture feature. this allows the phone to auto focus and then take the picture, removing the possibility of you bumping your phone pressing the snap button

Yeah those photos area really out of focus... Try resetting the focus mode from center to matrix and back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiregeek:
The minute you zoom in on a photo taken with the Note 3 you will find that a huge amount of noise and grain exist but if you take a picture on a sunny and clear day outside without zooming in on picture it is taken then you will find picture to be acceptable.

Vide recordings on the Note 3 are great but picture quality and speaker volume/sound leave a bit to be desired. Otherwise I love my Note 3. Had it come with pair of speakers like those on the HTC ONE and with a better camera it would have been perfect.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Set 'tap to take pics' to off, then tap the screen anywhere to focus there. It'll show a green square if the focus is locked.

Also check that the protective foil is removed from the camera.

If you're having difficulty focusing close to the camera (+- 20cm), turn on Macro.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commissionerg:
For those of you having issues getting the SIM out like I did, use a small piece of scotch tape, or equivalent, so you can get a grip to pull it out. It isn't hard with that technique. It doesn't "click" like the note 2 SIM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inco9nito99:
I tried pulling it out and it wouldn't. Does it spring in-and-out? I tried that and it wouldn't come out, tried pulling it out with the wife's tweezer and no-go so I left it in fear of damaging something. Anyways, does it come with the new NFC SIM card, (the only reason I was pulling it out was to check this).

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oakcutter:
Ok, I admit it I am not smart enough to figure this out. I thought I was because I had installed Smoothrom 5.1 and then when 5.2 came out upgraded. So I got cocky and tried up date to android 4.3. No luck, I've ruined my tablet I think. I can't get past the Google screen when I turn it on. I did make a backup using Nexus tool kit but can't get into adb mode, only fastboot. I have a suspicion that usb debugging is turned off is why my PC does not recognize my adb device. HELP.

Nexus 7 Stuck

I flashed a factory image using fastboot but it never finishes. Nexus displays "Booting Downloaded Image" for ever and ever.

Any other ideas or directions to step by step instructions on flashing with fastboot?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Erase all the partitions in fastboot, then flash all from the official Nexus image page. It is impossible for you to have done any permanent damage. It is recoverable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fotogravin:
Did you use official factory image files? Did you use the flash-all.bat (Windows) or flash-all.sh (mac/linux) script? And did you wait for the whole thing to finish? Can take some time...

First, thanks for the "permanent damage" comment all hope is not lost.

Secondly, I assume that I can't flash the downloaded tar or tgz file but it must be unzipped first, correct?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xacky:

What does waiting for ever mean? 15 minutes 3 hours? If you're more specific people can help you out more easily.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Yes, it's a gzipped tarball. You can use something like 7-zip to do that.

You should end up with the image zip file, a flash-base.sh, flash-all.bat, bootloader-grouper-4.23.img, and flash-all.bat files after you're extracted. The image zip file is the big one at 320mb. Don't unzip that, leave it as is. Run the flash-all.bat.

Gldrush, Thanks very much for your comments. I have resurrected my N7 and now am on 4.3. This exercise has forced me to learn things I didn't necessarily want to or needed to before. But the best part is I did learn something.

However, I still can not make adb work between pc and N7. I have tried countless times with no success. It shouldn't be this hard.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweston1:
Any other people and having this problem? I figured that the espn.com website would be using html5. I have also read about it, however, when I go to the site, it tells me to install flash, which I can't do in Chrome. Even when I try playing a video on the mobile site, I get a message saying the video can't be played.

I have tried this with dolphin, boat. (with flash), Chrome, and stock browser. Nada bueno.

Works perfectly on all ios devices, iphones, iPad. Little android issues hurt my soul, and I don't want to go back to iPhone, but I pay for espn insider, and if I can't get this to work...

Sad.

What happens when you try it with Dophin (with flash). What does it say?

Also in the settings for the browser make sure you request the desktop version of the website. I just got my Note 3 and haven't tried yet. But on My note 2 I was able to watch espn.go using the preinstalled browser (with flash) by requesting the desktop version of the website.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweston1:
The espn app blows. The videos won't play on it either, but I attribute that to shoddy programming.

In Dolphin, I see the video image, but no play shows up. It's basically a static image that can't be clicked.

I have reinstalled every browser, and I also reinstalled flash several times. I still have my iPad, so I not up a creek completely.

Also, a friend of mine has the same results on his Note 3.

Annoying as hell.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownda85:
Solution (Must Be Rooted)

2 Solutions.

Flash Solution:

1.) Download Dolphin or UC, or Boat browser and set it to Desktop UA. (you will obviously need flash player as well)

2.) Download the libflashplayer.so.zip file I have attached. Once downloaded find the file and remove the ".zip" from the file (it was the only way I could upload the file.) File Should now be "libflashplayer.so"

3.) Place this file in /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib It will advise that this file already exists (using root explorer) and ask if you want to override it. select yes. This file makes the flashplayer appear to be from a windows device. (Hulu and ESPN use this check for their media)

4.) Close all browsers then open the browser back up and you should be able to access the videos at these sites.

Chrome Solution:

1.) Download Chrome or Chrome beta from the play store.

2) Download Chrome UA from the play store

3.) Open Chrome UA and set the user agent to IPad.

4) Close the the chrome brower (If it is open) and open it back up. You should be able to watch all the videos on ESPN.com using HTML5.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilippon:
I've seen people here and there say they've seen this too, but no one seems to have an answer. My battery isn't lasting until work ENDS, a far cry from when I used to plug it in after work, at home, at 20-30%. It just randomly started happening.

Noticed this on both 4.2.2 and 4.3. I've tried .48 radio and .83, stock and PA, stock kernel and Franco, heard it's common on CM also.

Anyone actually know anything about this? I'd love to last an entire day not having to turn off sync when I'm not using my phone, and other battery salvaging methods.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
your android os looks normal. seeing that you didnt use the phone much, your screen on percent is lowered. since your screen on percentage is lower, all others will appear higher than you would think they should be. but if your screen was using 50-65% of the battery as it would for normal use, then your other percentages would be lower. anyways, your android os is normal. what i would look for is an app in the background behaving badly, or disable a notification or two if you have many. if you have root, i would install greenify and then greenify a bunch of apps.

my android os usually hangs between 4-8%, but my screen is usually around 60%(with heavy use).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilippon:
I think the proportions seem right but I've never had 1-2 or more HOUR wakelocks, it just caught my attention.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i never look at wakelocks, that is how our device is supposed to work. granted, occasionally an app will create a wakelock that gets stuck, but thats just bad coding on the app by that developer. watching wakelocks will waste more of your time than its worth. take control of your apps instead, dont let them run rampart.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salty Wagyu:
Neither BBS or Wakelock Detector is helpful in diagnosing Android OS battery usage. Most of the time it shows as PowerManagerService.Wakelock in Kernel Wakelocks, and pages from google state that is it a sum of Partial Wakelocks adding to PowerManagerService.Wakelock. But there was one time I had a 15 hour wakelock from PowerManagerService.Wakelock and looking in Partial there wasn't anything really significant, most entries being 20mins or something at the top of the list, 10 minutes on the next, and so on.

Whatever it is, it's particularly bad on 4.3 both on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torque77:
Everything was fine after the 4.4.2 update until a couple of days ago. I noticed a heavy battery drain during the night - approx. 20%. The conclusion I made: Android OS is back. The WiFi was on, but the router was off, so I though it might have something to do with it trying to establish a connection.

This past night I turned the WiFi off and left the 3G on. 10+ hours of wakelock from Android OS and 30% drain. So, what am I missing here?

The worst part is that those f"%^* from Android developers team has disabled any reporting from the running processes in the latest version.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aguilar.nick:
You can use the stock google app to find what google app is running during the wakelocks. Just go into Settings -> Apps -> Running tab and see what google process are running. Then download and use "Disable Service" from the playstore to find and disable the suspect google apps.

My phone would stay wakelocked after a call or gmail check all because of gcm_google service. I disable it under Playstore services using Disable Service and my google wakelocks went away. Worth a try.

No, I didn't have that problem. However, I've since rooted my phone and used Xposed Framework with a couple of modules & Wanam Xposed to get it exactly like I wanted. They allow me to use the stock lock screen with multiple widgets and a PIN with quick PIN entry (no need to hit enter).

Root and install Xposed Framework with the following modules: "Maximize Widgets", "Samsung Multiple Widgets", "Enable Camera on Lockscreen" & "Wanam Xposed". In Wanam Xposed, under 'lockscreen', select "enable quick PIN unlock".

Check other settings as desired...but the above settings will give you a secure lock screen with access to the camera and several full screen widgets, as well as quick PIN unlock (no need to hit enter).
