It appears that I can see - very faintly, burnt in images of the today screen Icons on my two week old XDA mini S.....

They are most noticeable when the phone dialler is selected.

WTF - on a two week old LCD?

Si.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] devros:
Oh bugger,

Now I think that I'm seeing things - is it possibly that in certain apps (phone dialler) and Comm manager - that you can see semi transparent images of the today screen icons and date...?

Si.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
nope - those applications don't use transparency over the current theme

for those wondering - yes, LCDs *can* 'burn in', except that it's not a burn-in, but a charge persisting.

I had it on my laptop after leaving it closed (but on) for about a month to record shows while I was abroad.

When I got back, the TV recording app's outlines were clearly visible. I was quite pissed, as I wrongly assumed that LCDs don't burn in. ( I also wrongly assumed that closing the lid would turn the screen off; it doesn't, only turns the backlight off - stupid design* )

Did some searching on Google, and the two common options to fix it are:

1. display a full white image for a while (hours)

2. turn the display off for a while (hours).

I did the first - cleared up most of it. Did the second (powered the laptop down), and that got rid of it all.

So maybe that will fix it for you as well.

* the PPC has the same problem, really. When the backlight turns off, the LCD is still on; so you're still vulnerable to this persistent charge issue. There's a lot of freeware apps out there that allow you to turn the screen entirely off (note that this turns the touchpanel off as well) - might be a good idea to pick up.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] devros:
It does seem to be some form of burn in - left overnight last night it has more or less goes away - but I'm sure it will return towards the end of the day.

Si.

I've got this on my wizard too. Last night I left it charging whilst the games folder was open (backlight/power never set to go off on external power), I now see a negative image of my games icons on dark backgrounds. Will try some of the suggestions mentioned and hope for the best!!

I've changed the backlight/power settings now though :evil:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angel_Alonso:
Hello friends, I have a question that is because the camera JB have no option to photosphere?

The specs say that the Moto G has Gyroscope.

Enviado desde mi XT1032 mediante Tapatalk
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Moto G doesn't have a gyro sensor, so this is the reason why Photosphere won't ever work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikybiasion:
Are you sure it has no gyro? Some site report it has gyro, some other no.

You can try installing photospere.apk and check if if works
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn0opy:
The Moto G has an accelerometer. Since it's able to determine X/Y/Z I was able to play Ridiculous Fishing on it. So, I have no idea, why an accelerometer shouldn't be enough for Photosphere to work properly.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Accelerometer and gyro sensor are completely different types of sensors, read Wikipedia.

I suspect it doesn't have a gyro because all sensor test apps report that there is no gyro sensor... :)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_pixel:
Hang on a moment the Moto G does have a g-sensor. Explain why Temple Run works when it requires a g-sensor for its tilting functionality? There are some videos on YouTube that show the Moto G in action by tilting it, which would require a g-sensor to be on board. An Accelerometer only measures speed/motion, and is used on some mobile devices to determine if the device is in landscape or portrait orientation.

A g-sensor (Gyrometer) determines where a device is on an axis (eg to see where the device is tilted and by how much).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knizmi:
Temple Run (and other games like RR3) rely on accelerometer. It doesn´t need a gyroscope. Sorry.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debaj:
The g-sensor is the accelerometer, not the gyroscope. The accelerometer measures the device's acceleration compared to the free fall vector (the direction of the g-force), and the gyroscope measures it to a fixed axis of the phone itself.

If you are somewhat handy at flight dynamics, you should know that a plane has three dimensions of rotation: the roll, the pitch and the yaw. An accelerometer can only measure roll and pitch because the axis he yaw is measured to is the orientation of the gravitational pull. Because of he gyroscope has an independent reference axis it can measure all three dimensions which is needed not just keeping a plane safely in the air, but for the photosphere feature too.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwen:
How does a level app works then? Smart Tool is able to display pitch and roll correctly

Edit: Found my answer, it has a multipurpose AK8963 magnetometer which also provides orientation and hall effect (magnetic cover screen on/off)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alysia00:
Moto G does have a gyroscope. I'm not sure if it's just the 4g edition or not, but mine does.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vhngu930:
Just the LTE one
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alysia00:
Oh okay. Makes sense.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivji:
photosphere alternative without gyroscope

Crystal Photo Surround is the best alternative (or perhaps the only one I could find) to photosphere that works on my Moto G 1st gen without a gyroscope (2nd gen has got gyroscope). Eventhough the app needs some improvement and is tiresome to capture, it's fun! Shots captured in it won't be recognised as a photosphere in Google+ since it doesn't embed the META data, required to recognize as one. It can be viewed in the app though. I think it uses accelerometer and magnetometer in place of gyroscope. Hope the developer comes up with an update which will make shots captured in it is recognize as a photosphere or some other developers in this forum can possibly develop an app on similar lines.

If you want to try it, head over to play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npisunflower.photosurround

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokevin:
Hi All I need help, I rooted my phone a while back, I done this because I was told that I would be able to get app's that are,

not available in your country, all it was, was the sky news app, Im not worried about it now as I have another news app that I use.

The main problem is every time I unlock my screen now I get the system update screen, I have tried to update but it just re-boots into teamwin so I just select later, this is getting very annoying now, the question is, is there anyway I can download the OTA update and update manually, if not how do I get the teamwin out so the phone.

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saketh91:
I don't think you can install an OTA properly if you have a custom recovery like TWRP. Try flashing the stock recovery and install OTA. See if that works

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paalkr:
Hi

Does both the Galaxy tab 3 7-inch and 8-inch support miracast with JB 4.2.2?
[HTC One SV] luise_sarmiento:
It's been like 2 months since the update was rolling out. But i still didn't get it. I'm from the Philippines. Anyone know when the update will come internationally? Or at least when will carriers roll it out?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Update started rolling out on November, 4. So it's even not a full moth. I understand, everybody wants it, but nobody from us will know, when HTC gets the permission to start. This is not the fault of HTC, this is because of provider locked phones. Only after provider finished testing, they give their ok for release. And One SV is not in the top list of providers phone testing.

And you are not alone. Boost don't have it and a german provider also don't give it to their customers (4.1.2 where 2 months after first release).

Hi,

[Android General] AshuGite:
yes it takes internal memory for swap...

it can be used for all roms for the targeted device...
[Android General] suhailnajeeb:
Is this safe for the system partition?

We know that using the SD card for swapping results in degrading lifetime of it. Similarly i guess this may be harmful for the system partition by degrading its lifespan? Please let me know if anyone has faced any issue with this mod. I wouldn't like to try this and result in a damaged system partition.
[Android General] dipanjanforever:
thnx for the guide.. but before doing anything i've a question... is swapping harmful !!! i heard dat it'll reduce the life span of external memory card!! wat about internal coz we can't replace the internal storage!!!

Which one should I get? My friend is recommending me Samsung S3 because of brand & cheaper. But Nexus 5 has superior specs and faster & latest android. Please help me decide
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silicon Knight:
First, it would prolly be best to go post in one of the device comparison threads in the General section of the forum. Too many of these threads get made and some don't end well lol

Secondly. Since u already posted. Coming from someone who has used both. Nexus 5 all the way. But that's my opinion and it depends on ur preference ur guess. I feel the nexus 5 is a significant boost in performance, and quality over the S III.

If you want something closer to a touchwiz experience but want an alternative to Samsung. The LG G2 Has the same specs as the Nexus 5 and a UI similar to TouchWiz. As I said tho. Its a matter of personal preference and this is just my opinion. In the end I would research and try em out if you know anyone who has em and go from there ....

and post in the other section I mentioned earlier. Its a sticky in the general section.

I would go for the nexus. I had the S3 when it first came out but after a day with it i returned it to T-Mobile and got the One s. TouchWiz is horrible in my opinion, Sense is the way to go if your not going with stock. And idk if a had a bad phone but my screen had hella lot of those big black dots when the screen was all black. But if u want save money go with the S3.

That's what my grandfather told me_ "do we really need a fast phone"?!! But no seriously I hope you were more drunk than me when you wrote that comment:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silicon Knight:
Haha QFT !

Seriously, that's like saying do we really need more bullets in our guns. The answer is yes. I rather have the speed and not need it then not have it and need it. Apps/Games on the mobile market are starting to become pretty demanding. Tho I do think we are at a point right now where we need to focus more on battery research and overall reception. It seems like the older "Feature" phones get better service then a lot of the smart phones. My friends old LG Envy 3 gets service at her place but my Nexus 5 doesn't. Nor did my Note 3 or S4 when I was still on Verizon.....

Which that lil tid bit, is another point for the nexus 5. Around WA state, Verizon is hands down the best and most reliable service, but I gave that up just so I could get a nexus 5 lol (also cause Verizon are the Nazis of the cellphone world and android is being suffocated on their service. T-Mobile may not be as good but at least they let android do its thing)

EDIT - that was kind of a weird analogy but I was in the military and its the only thing I could think of. Its better then the guitar one I had tho haha

Grandfather speak sense :) unless you game on it or benchmark, there is no point.

I have a high end pc 4.7ghz , sli gtx 670 etc, loads of ram, i see a point in that, for video encoding, editing etc.

The N5 does feel cheap, it is cheap, the money has gone on the cpu , screen, graphics , the S3 and N4 feel better made to me.

What i want is a phone like the S1 was build quality wise and thickness, with modern screen and decent battery life.

Also the camera on the N5 is poor, it can take a good shot, but quick it isn't.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RohanM:
I am a nexus 4 user. Shifted from galaxy S3. I still miss my GS3.. Because of Amoled screen and battery backup and camera. These things sucks on Nexus 4. Same applies to N5 also. So if you are not a crack flasher then go for S3.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splashattack:
N5 all the way. I switched from an S3 to a Nexus 5 and the only things I miss are the slightly louder speaker and louder earphone volume (that's stock of course. Using fauxsound fixes the earphone volume at least). The Nexus feels so much better to hold since it doesn't feel like it'll slip out of your hand and the battery lasts longer. With my S3 running cm10.2 and a 4200mah extended battery, I would get about 6 hours screen on time. I get about the same with the 2300mah battery in the Nexus and I don't have to carry a brick in my pocket. Screen is also much better. I can actually see what's on it outdoors.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchasa:
If speed is your only requirement along with fast updates, go the Nexus 5.

If you need a good phone, camera, media player and mp3 player, go the gs3.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert Hodgson:
Nexus 5 is the one to Get you get the latest OS version when released cross ship defective replacements if ordered from the play store if needed. I had a Samsung S3 last year it was a nice phone but to wait a year for software updates if they decide to release it.

And at the price point for a fully unlocked phone it can not be beat, if you buy out right its an average $100 more then the Nexus 5 from the Play store for a locked phone add the $50 the carriers usually charge to unlock it so now you ar $150 more for. A year old tech phone.

Take the $150 you saved put it aside then next year you can upgrade to the nexus 6 or what ever it's called for only $200 more then you would spend on the S3 now.

And you could sell the nexus 5 next year and repeat the following year and you will be upgrading every year for next to nothing price wise,

What are you still doing here then? The thread itself is ridiculous because okay one can say nexus 5 or galaxy s4 but if you say nexus 5 or galaxy s3 and tell me s3 is better cuz it has sd card camera and blabla then I can tell you fine then even an htc sensation works for you;)

Because the orignal poster of the thread said N5 or S3 you muppet.

I replied on here as i came from a S3 to a N5 , and i think the S3 is better built, better camera, better screen although lower res.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apothis:
I went from an S3 to a Nexus 4, and found the N4 much nicer, the N5 is a considerable further improvement over the N4. Those people saying the S3 has a better screen, I guess is just a preference for the amoled screen types, personally I find the terrible oversaturation to be really annoying, but its just a preference thing I guess.

Anyway, another vote here for the N5 over the S3, by a long way.

You sold S4 for N5... Terrible mistake you will realize this later.... :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbleDelta:
I would suggest getting the Nexus 5 over the S3 because of a few thing:

TouchWiz is terrible, stock is better.

Better ROMs in my opinion.

Gets Android updates first.

A phone which won't be slow unlike the S3 which is already outdated compared to the Nexus 5 which is the Google Flagship Phone.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myprecious27:
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing seriously wrong with N5 sound - it just seems duller compared to S3. I'm on a custom kernel and I have even installed viper. But sofware won't help if the dac is inferior. My phonak headphones are merciless to N5. That's unfortunate but what can you do?:) It's not a dealbreaker the difference isn't that huge, but it is noticeable if you have good headphones.

Those who say that camera is better on S3 - well I have personally compared the two, and N5 is better or on par with S3. The display is different, I like it though I miss the amoled contrast. Bulid quality comparable, but N5 feels much better in hand and looks way better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
I have several friends who have the S3 and my son has the S4. The quality of the N5 is better than either. I find both the samsung phones to feel cheap while the N5 feels solid in my hand. That's an opinion shared by one of my S3 owner friends as well.
