[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodfire1004:
Hello all,

I would like it if some people could share pictures from the front-camera, particularly in low-light (it does not have to be a selfie ;) ). This is because I am worried about the performance of my front camera because even though it says it is ISO 320 in the EXIF, the quality looks to be smudgy and really soft (even though I turned off the soft skin and stabilizer setting in Manual mode).

I know that its only 2MP but still, the quality of it in low-light as compared to good light is really significant. So I would like to confirm if this is just me or also the others..

Btw, I have a Clear Screen Protector so I'm not sure if that might also be contributing..

Thanks!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jluster:
You are not incorrect. The front camera, even worse than the back one, suffers from noise, grain, oversharpening artifacts, blurring, and washed out colors.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodfire1004:
Hm, bummer. I wonder if its software again or if its just the nature of front facing cameras? Weird thing is front facing video seems to be alright..

Thanks man!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] k3000:
Hi Guys

Since all our GN3s have a faux leather battery cover, I tried to find the real deal and searched for a "real" leather battery replacement cover all over the internet... without any success.

There is quite a big battery replacement offering on eBay, mainly from China, and they offer replacement covers in faux cow/croc leather in various colors etc. for about $10 shipped.

The only case I found with real leather comes from TETDED, but that's a snap on case and I don't like the bulkiness it adds to my phone.

Is anyone aware of a battery cover replacement in real leather? I think that would look awesome on the GN3.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] spridell:
I have the TETDED real leather snap on case. It really doesn't add that much bulk at all. Really good case, real leather, slim, I recommend it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beko1987:
I dropped my One on the pavement getting out of the car on saturday, which spidered the screen in a corner.

It's not insured, I;ve played the game and lost, so prepared to pay the repair price, but I've only found HTC recommended for the repair.

Not a massive issue, but has anyone sent one in for a new screen from the UK, and if so what price were you quoted? HTC said they receive the phone, then give me a quote. I either then pay up or pay £25 to get the device shipped back.

Looking at our contents insurance now to see if and how its covered before I push the button with HTC, but any input would be appreciated.

Once its fixed I'm going to get the most padded, thick case I can I think, took out the screen on my old Galaxy S2 twice, fixed it myself with an ebay screen the first time, then it cracked again so I just ebayed it broken.

Cheers

My pictures become pixelated when zoomed on Gallery.

They look sharp if I don't zoom at all, but as soon as I zoom (Even a little bit). I can see the pixelation.

The picture is a 300 dpi one with resolution of 1748 x 2480.

But, with no zoom at all, they look perfectly sharp.

Is this normal? because the same picture looks sharp in my desktop monitor even though I zoomed it?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfol:
Also, I find that I'm unable to share this picture with whatsapp, bbb, etc.

But I was able to share my other pictures.

So, I reduced the resolution to 875 x 1240, and now not only was I able to share this picture with my friends,

but when zooming this picture on Gallery (after the resolution has been reduced), it doesn't get pixelated!

Is this a bug on Note 3 ? So I can't send picture with high resolution ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Nu such issue on Quickpic. Give that a try.

Whatsapp downscales images severely by default, by the way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfol:
btw this only happens to pictures that I uploaded from my computer, that have hi resolutions.

This doesn't apply to hi res pictures taken from the Note 3 camera.

This is weird.

Thanks I'll try Quickpic, but it still doesn't solve the problem of not being able to share hi res pics in whatsapp/bbm.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I'll test.

4752x3168 300dpi 13,9MB taken with a DSLR: Sharing works. The image looks horribly downscaled in Whatsapp due to their automatic scaling, but it works fine.

I can't test the Stock Gallery, as it freezes upon opening by default. It has no 'exclude folders' option, and I have one folder that contains 8392 saved websites+files(in folders). As you can imagine, that tends to overload the app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfol:
thanks for trying.

my picture is actually a 300 dpi 1748 x 2480 JPEG file, generated from a photoshop file (It's a promotional brochure).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfol:
update:

I changed the Photoshop file Mode to RGB (it was CMYK originally), then save the file to JPEG and transfer it to my Note 3.

Now there's no problem in zooming in and sharing the file.

So I guess CMYK is not really compatible in Note 3/mobile?
[Android General] ZakBrindle:

Ive been looking around but cant seem to find any custom ROM's for my Note 3 Replica.

Is there any out yet? and if so please could you point me towards some?

Many Thanks in Advance :D

Awe that sucks haha, what Clone is best to get for Custom ROM's?

Guess ill dedicate some time to learning how to make my own ROMs, maybe that might be good :)

Would this not work?

Porting ROM's
[Android General] -fluffy-:
u can always try but u also need to learn how to edit smali an decomplie an complie again an how to edit the right scripts
[Android General] ZakBrindle:
Okay i will do my best to look into that,

In the mean time what about porting any Custom ROMs to your device using Master Shifu dsixda's Android Kitchen?

Thanks for the support :)
[Android General] -fluffy-:
try my friend try
[Android General] zetex:
i think based on other similar devices, its down to the very kind devs (fluffy) on these forums to make them usable for us... without them dedicating their free time to fix what wrong in these roms we are frankly wasting our money.

ive recently started looking at rom development for chinese clones, and stripping them down to try an understand how they work, or don't in most cases... i'm finding it very interesting to say the least, they all seem to follow the same malfunctions that don't seem to work properly i.e google play services are not injected into the roms properly and this is a common theme...

still reading and learning, but enjoying it to... the hours fly by..

thanks

Z
[Android General] ZakBrindle:
I will have ago, not dealt with changing ROMs in a little while, what way of backing up everything do you recommend ?

Sounds interesting and yeah im so greatful to devs like fluffy, Fluffy's ROM for the S4 Replica made my device so much better but i dont stay with one phone for more than 6 months haha so im onto this Note 3 now and i must learn more :) although its a great phone, great screen, there are a few problems with it, Like Smart Scroll which is claimed to work on this one, my SPen dont work at all, and i forget the name of this one but where you wave slightly in front of the sensors and a menu comes up, that does not work either. Although its a great phone i wish i could do more :) but for £130, Im happy

i woult like to dev on it but dont have the phone so cant

Cant see any other person having this problem from my searches and topics here.

I am trying to load tomtom5 from a disc. it is the same one i used in my xda2 but it will not load on my XDA exec.

I have tried to copy to the card and run but that will not work it says not a correct application.

I have 5 and 5.1 update on disc which worked on the xda2.

Neither will load to the Exec

I load the disc to pc select uk then select install but it immediadtely brings up the error message with the send to microsoft option.

Dont understand this as it worked on the xda11.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Clive

I had the same problems

Could not install from cd either whereas had no problems with my xda2-managed to use updat 5.2 but could not activate software via the gprs connection. ihad to get anew activation code from tom tom. this worked. i don't think version 5 is as good as version 3 and i wish i hadn't upgraded as not only are there more errors on the maps but it takes my new xda a lot longer to connect to the gps receiver.we found loads of mistakes when using the new version 5 on the xda2 in the summer when touring tom tom kept taking us to roads whichwere still under construction and couln't be used. we did tell support about this but i don't find them particularly helpful

I got the G2/V4 firwmware to work just fine and am very happy with it's functionality. There is one issue I cant seem to work out though.

I have entered in APN settings for PTA and Phone on AT&T and find when I set the system to GSM/CDMA/LTE Auto, wife tether allows devices to connect, however those devices cannot get internet, it just sits as if trying to load the page. This has happened twice after resets. When you set the system to just GSM/CDMA with not LTE, it works perfectly fine on PTA and Phone APN settings. LTE appears to be preventing wireless tether from working correctly. Has anyone ran into this, it was working fine on the CM 10.2 ROM.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greaneagle:
Hello everyone, i just got an old HTC Wildfire from my aunt and decided to root it and make it a useful secondary phone... the problem i ran into is the fact that it has HBOOT 0.80.0002.

I cant seem to figure out how to root it. I tried the full guide to rooting and de-branding but i got stuck first i tried to just use revolutionary, but that only supports hboot 1.01.0001 or something like that and then i tried to downgrade it (what u are supposed to do for 1.2.0002 hboot) but that didnt work either since i got stuck trying to create a goldcard image. Well i actually got the goldcard (found a functioning website online put in my CID and got the gold card, but the prtoblem was that i couldnt patch the mmc)

So anyone got any help for me? or a tip what tutorial i could try.

Phone info:

HTC Buzz (wildfire)

Hboot 0.80.0002

Radio 3.35.19.25

S-on

Firmware 2.1-update 1

Thanks for the help :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
If you run the unrevoked program it will root your phone with your current hboot. You could also consider working out your phones cid, (not the one from your goldcard) And then you could look for the correct update ruu. Upgrade to hboot 1.01.0001 and then use revolutionary and gain full s-off :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greaneagle:
Ok, unrewoked worked the second time around :) tried it before i posted here, but it stopped at pushing recovery image... i guess it must have been HTC sync (yeah forgot i had that instaled on this pc) when i uninstalled it as the software told me to it worked just fine. Rooted with CWM :P thanks for the help :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greaneagle:
Ok guys, is this even possible? I used Unrevoked and it worked nicely and got my phone rooted (super user) and CWM installed... but i still have S-ON... am i missing something here? should i flash something to get S-OFF or what? really confused right now...

Thanks.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Unrevoked never removed s-on, it used a root exploit to gain superuser access, install superuser and then flash a custom recovery. Revolutionary, which is a conjunction of team unrevoked and alpharev was the next step, after the upgrade to hboot 1.xx.xxxx unrevoked exploit no longer worked, so they found another I believe and forced a hacked bootloader into the phone, making it believe it was s-off even though the radio flag was still set to on :) confusing I know :p

so revolutionary s-off is from a patched hboot, and the xtc clip gives full radio s-off. The only real difference is that with xtc clip s-off you can remove SIM lock, but with the patched hboot you cannot, as the radio which houses the security (for all intents and purposes) is still set to on. The patched hboot just tells the hboot to ignore what the radio says and believe it is s-off all the time.

But before I ramble on you should be good to go with your hboot, but you may need to upgrade your recovery, in order to do this I believe you will need root and to flash the recovery by using a script called flash. I'll look Into it for you :) or, you could try the clockworkmod recovery app to flash the new recovery, you want 5.0.2.0 preferably :)

Hi everyone ,

I have samsung galxy tab 2 10.1 G5100 and i want use it to write notes handly in the class as we do on samsung note n8000 .

My question is : can we use the notes pen ( with sharp start ) on the samaung galaxy tab 2 P5100 .

As i read on gsmarena site that both devices have the same touch screen .

If that is possibl how to start using the note pen on the tab and what apps will i use specially the app will i write notes handly on it .

Will it neet another kernal or the current one is enogh .

Thanks for your time reading the question .

Bye

Waiting for your answers soon .
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
I'm guessing the answer is no.

Its not a software problem, but a hardware one. The Note series have Wacom digitisers that allow the S Pen to work. Try use the stylus on the Note 10.1 and you can feel it.

The Tab 2 lacks the Wacom digitiser and so can't detect it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] acid123:
I have been given the galaxy gear, my mate loves the note 3 but didn't want the watch,

I currently have the iPhone 5 and is the gear slightly compatible with it,

the gear is sealed so I don't want to open it, if its of no use,

I have a 5S coming in a weeks time should I be better of getting rid of it and getting a S4 or hold on and wait for the nexus as that will be running the latest version of android so will that be better off,

my last option is swapping the watch for a android watch which looks exactly the same as the omate truesmart, same specs apart from a 3mp camera and 2 screws on the sim slot,

mate bought it back from a trip to china where it cost $150

Would love to keep it but not sure about how it will work with the nexus once release, S4 being my 2nd choice but then thinking will that be a step backwards with buying a phone which has been out for a while now
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Won't work with the iPhone. Will work with the Note 3, and S4 and other compatible samsung devices coming soon.

Best bet for the iPhone would be the Pebble, but even it has problems right now with iOS and staying connected to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] acid123:
I sold my pebble already,

So the gear will only work with samsung devices??

I thought devices with android 4.3 would be compatible,

Looks like I would need to buy a S4 then,

Bought most of the smartwatches now and the gear is the best looking one,
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Yes for now until someone possibly hacks things, it only works with Samsung 4.3 phones.

I have a Pebble too and prefer the Gear by a wide margin (mostly due to looks and the SVoice capabilities and apps).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] acid123:
Are you using a S4 with the gear??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Nope, using the Note 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] avenging:
why dont you just get the note 3 or the s4 with snapdragon 800?

Mostly TouchWiz is needed, then 4.3
