see the camera

outdoor camera works fine for me.

indoors works but not bad, however in most cases and low distance shots, flash over-exposes it.

outdoors is good but could be better for sure.

uploading original .jpg was getting compressed and resized at XDA.

check photo details, flash was not fired and I think its pretty acceptable quality.

if anyone has more problematic/dark camera please upload sample pic, and full version in a zip.

Another member has released fix for AUTO-FOCUS for MTK6577 Devices

you can use it and post back if it works fine for you guys.

I am going to test it later today.

Edit:

Tried the auto-focus link about and works good.

Thanks to "Sudeep Duhoon" for getting the fix available on XDA

[Google Chromecast] StuMcBill:
Is anyone else seeing this? I am using my Chromecast to watch Netflix on my TV, however, the Netflix app seems to be keeping my phone awake.

I'm pretty sure it didnt do this before the latest update to enable the Profiles?

Anyone have any ideas?

Stewart
[Google Chromecast] Tatdude806:
Yes it is doing this on both my SGN3 and my N7 (2013), not just you!
[Google Chromecast] StuMcBill:
Good, I'm glad its not just me!! :D

I've downgraded to the previous version of Netflix for the time being!
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I'm wondering if that wasn't by design as people may have complained they had to wake and unlock in order to pause or control the movie.

All the more reason for Netflix to code in the ability to take CEC commands from an IR remote I suppose (If the CCast really does support two way CEC).
[Google Chromecast] extrem0:
Mine was always awake while casting Netflix.
[Google Chromecast] StuMcBill:
Well it definitely is staying awake.

I have the latest version on my N7 and the older version on my N4, N7 stays awake while chromecasting and N4 doesn't!

It totally defeats the purpose of the device if it is keeping your device awake while chromecasting since the Chromecast is supposed to pull the stream from the Internet independent of your phone (after it is instructed of course).
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Just because it is keeping the device awake doesn't mean you can't put it to sleep on your own does it?

Netflix should not be taking anything from your phone or tablet except Commands for playback.
[Google Chromecast] StuMcBill:
No, its actually keeping the device awake in the background. There was a bit of actual on device streaming in there too, but not 9 hours!!

See Screenshot attached.

Interesting...I wonder if it is DRM related...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermomonkey:
Good evening. Firstly, thank you to Wayland for his work!

A few questions about the latest nightly build: Firstly my battery life doesn’t seem as good as gingerbread – looking at betterbatterystats I think this may be due to the fact that for over 1.5h my CPU has been at 1.2ghz, and < 1min for most other states except sleep for which it is 8h. This seems to suggest that whenever I am doing anything on my phone it is working at max chat? I have only been surfing the web, and this is on either the default browser or firefox. Has anyone else experienced this?

Secondly, I can only select 2g in data settings. 3g is there, but when I select it it switches itself straight back to 2g. The ‘most’ I get now is an ‘E’ connection, I don’t get a 3G or H. Any suggestions?

Lastly, I don’t have any ringtones… I can only select ‘none’ or ‘hangouts’ ringtone?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Although this isn't a real answer to your questions, but you do realize it's a nightly right? From CM11, which isn't even good working for a lot newer devices yet.. So bugs can be expected.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thermomonkey:
Yep I understand that. Just seems odd that it wouldn't have been picked up on by now - so thought that some other people may have had similar problems, possibly with other roms.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Well, the SII was never meant to have anything above 4.1.2. It seems the CM-team isn't really enthousiastic about making the newer Android versions working on our device, so these will most likely never be completely stable..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Marco:
First, it is an unofficial version and in beta, so it is not very stable, and it always will be.

Anyway, it is always a risk to install nightlies, as they were stable. I think you're aware of this, right?

Having said that you should install another ROM, maybe a CM nightlies of 10.2 which is almost completely stable. Good luck;)

Hello

So I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus that was running stock 4.3 (maguro)

Having been really frustrated with the low volume on the device, I decided to try the method mentioned on this link - Download Fix for Google Galaxy Nexus I9250 Volume Issue - Android Advices (VolumeFix by MoDaCo)

After I applied the fix and rebooted, my phone got stuck at the Google screen. My phone was unlocked prior to applying this fix so I went ahead and installed the CWM recovery - despite that, I cannot go past the Google screen, I haven't been able to install the CWM-SuperSU on my phone yet because I cannot transfer it to my phone without having it connected as a USB storage device. I tried adb push CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip /sdcard/ but it says "device not found"

I have even downloaded the stock 4.2.1 ROM to flash my phone with it, but at this stage I cannot do anything. I have logged into recovery and have wiped cache/ partitions/ dalvik etc but still it doesn't work.

Kindly advise me on how to fix my phone. I bought it a couple of months ago and being in India, Galaxy Nexus has no support here

Many thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I believe the galaxy nexus supports fastboot and the stock (if download from Google here

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

Or I believe it also supports hiemdal and Odin which you can return to stock this way as well

Also if you have a recovery that supports adb sideload you can flash straight to a custom ROM, probably the best method as we all want something fun right

Happy flashing!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] probuddha:
Thanks for your response. I just downloaded the official 4.3 from Google and flashed my phone with it :)

Hello, i have a small problem regarding the volume on my international g2 d802. Sometimes when i end the call, the volume bar for music, video and games goes down... Also when i have an incoming call thas shows as a notification ringtone volume goes down completly. After i restart the phone, everything goes back to normal, but it comes back again. I do not now what causes this, can anyone reproduce the same problem? Tnx
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
Flashed a the new radio, then pushed the latest firmware after having data drop off issues or no data in good signal areas. The radio flashed fine. And pushing the firm thru fastboot had no errors. But I seem to have worse data connectivity. Anyone know how I check if the firmware took, or did flashing the radio before hand adversely effect the install. I have asked in the appropriate sections, but unfortunately it's gone unanswered.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
I'm a Sprint htc one, on viperrom, no custom kernels. With the xx.xx.xxx.3_3 latest flashable radio.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Maybe because no one else has problems with thr new radio? If the radio was flashed ok it shouldn't jave any problems. You can check your radio version in settings about software info more, baseband.

The latest is 3.62....

If you have problems you can revert to the previous firmware and radio if you are s-off
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
the latest firmware for sprint, unless i missed one is 3.04.651.2
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
I was talking about the radio
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
okie dokie, lol

radio is 1.00.20.0913_3
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
I mistakenly read the build number. If you know this much I don't see why you can't downgrade your firmware if it's causing issues
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
i'm not the one with the problem, just trying to help out.sorry if i butted in.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
I do have the latest radio, it flashed just fine. However when pushing 3.04.651.2 firmware update, mine did not change, and it was suggested to me that the latest radio would not work correctly unless in junction with the latest firmware. My firmware still reads 3.62.401.1. But I received no errors during the fastboot push. Did I miss a step is what I'm asking. And if I did not. How can I push the firmware again to make for a successful build change. I hope that makes sense
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
If I remember correctly there was no 3.04.651.1 firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
Edit. 3.62.401.1
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
You can flash the new radio without flashing the firmware and it'll work fine. The firmware can only be flashed with fastboot and if the signature of the firmware is broken it can only be flashed if s-off.

Flashing the full firmware won't change anything in your reception, but anyway if you are s-on you should flash the FULL firmware, if s-off you can flash the modified one. Link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46123838
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
I'm s off. And I fastboot pushed the s off firmware listed there. However it installed with no errors. But it didn't change in my system. Perhaps a bad download. I'll try again and report back
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
3.62.401.1 is the build number based off the firmware for the INT version
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
Are you f*****g serious? But how did I choose the Sprint install and get int build number
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
The rom is ported to the sprint variant
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
Ugh -_- facepalm. Okay, question. Can I flash over the stock rooted Rom that features all the latest Sprint radios and firmware and will that correct everything. Or should I re-ruu and start over
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Roms don't contain firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
Good to know. So should I try to fastboot push the latest Sprint firmware onto this Rom again, or will doing so cause an issue, or do I need to go to a Sprint variant only Rom first?

[General Questions and Answers] Trio3b:
Huawei Prism U 8651T running Android 2.3.6

1. Yes I have read similar threads -they are about adding stuff or running new ROMS - I want to remove stuff and run stock ROM

2. Somewhat familiar with Linux . not so much android even tho linux based. Took the test and yes I think it's do able.

3. Yes found rootuing howto on my device on these forums

some questions before I root. all files on my Linux box are readable whether roor or not. Just can't modify unless root. I was reading files on android and they are locked down with encrypted looking stuff like when reading Windows files.

1. Will I be able to remove/disable factory installed google and t-mobile stuff or do they have it lockd down to where even if I'm root I can't do it.

2. howto says phone must be unlocked first - other s say no

3.Some howtos claim rooting should be done with non-active sim card - true?

** I understand that many services rely on google and tmobile apps but they are killing my battery and I can't force stop them ( they just relaunch in a few minutes - and I don't want or need all that cloud syncing junk***

Thanks for any help
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
Well, you do know what you want, so rooting is probably your thing, and yes you can delete T-Mobile apps and services and other things you might want to remove, including Google apps. Just be careful and don't delete google services like GmsCore.apk, Contacts etc. Maps, Google+ and all that stuff are safe to remove.

Most apps are located in /system/apps, but there are also some apps in /data/apps. Be careful when you delete system apps, so you might want to install Recovery while you're at it so you can make a NAND backup (backup of your ROM) in case something goes wrong, or you want to return to stock once you're on a custom ROM.

I can't give you an answer on the rest of the questions, since some of them might be device specific things, so i don't want to tell you something wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] Trio3b:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lo97:
Hi guys, I have a very big problem. After a crean wipe and install of cm11, my phone started to reboot after maybe 10 seconds from the boot. I tryed to restore factory but the toolkit and odin fail on writing of system.img.Could anybody help me? Thanks so much
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stupendousman2012:
Are you able to get to recovery via the power button and volume button method?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OffcerClancy:
Also, is device recognized w/adb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lo97:
Yes, I'm able to use the fastboot but it didn't seem to work bacause I'm on cwm and I tryed to flash twrp but It didn't work. Also I'm not able to flash stock because it fails at system writing. No adb, I have only 15-30 seconds befere the FC and the restart

EDIT: Maybe it's a permission error (only R/O) how fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stupendousman2012:
Reboot the phone into safe mode by holding power until the reboot menu appears, and then holding your finger on the beboot button until the reboot into safe mode dialogue appears.

When you are in safe mode, see if you are able to navigate around without the phone auto-restarting.

If so, see if you are able to copy the rom and GAPPS to the sdcard/download directory and try to flash again?

Not sure if this will work, but at least you can see if the hardware is failing in safe mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lo97:
Safe mode works only if I presso volume down button because everything I do seems to don't change anything after it reboot = like not saving thing. And It reboots also in safe mode (bu i have like 1-2 minutes...unless i try to delete something or download because them cause a reboot...) (sorry for my english). Every whipes and flash doesn't work...no factory reset, no toolkit reset, no odin reset..they all failed or just don't change anything (I tryed odin download and I pass but after it rebooted like every-time before)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Fastboot(bootloader) is recovery independent, recovery doesn't even need to be there. I'm pretty sure from what you've said that you've got some corrupted partition(s). I went through the same thing, couldn't flash anything with adb. This is what you gotta do after you've tried to adb pull as much data from your phone as you want to backup. Most people don't know about this for some reason, it's very easy and reliable.

->Bootloader(fastboot mode) --- hold down VOL_UP + VOL_DOWN + POWER until your phone vibrates. There's post information at the bottom and the start, poweroff, boot -recovery, -bootloader options to scroll through.

->Leave your phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your PC/remote terminal. You can look at it once we execute some fastboot commands. A blue bar appears at the bottom of the screen once you send it a fastboot command/signal.

->Open up a command prompt as administrator (su shell with *nix/mac) in the directory where your fastboot(.exe) binary is. Should be the same as where adb binary is -- Don't trust adb executable downloads that don't come with fastboot. Check for connectivity, a serial should print just like with adb after entering:

fastboot devices

-----NEXT STEPS WILL WIPE && FORMAT YOUR PHONE-----

->We are going to do a fastboot erasure. This is a complete wipe/format. It reconfigures block size, cylinders, etc (default unless specified) and can format all the specified "mmc" image blocks in /dev/block. The most likely place you're gonna see data corruption is in /data and /cache because those are always mounted Writable and pretty much all data writes occur their unless you're flashing a new rom, kernel, modding /system s***, etc. Then you will temporarily be writing to some other partition blocks. So let's do a userdata and cache fastboot format. This will completely erase /data and /cache (including sdcard, it won't take a second glance). I've never heard of this failing btw. It's the gold standard of debugging reliability, and unfortunately Odin is something to definitely avoid. Bury that one away in your suicidal desperation toolbox.

fastboot -w

Reflash your bootloader, unlock it, flash recovery TWRP, and flash a kernel boot.img that's super stable like FAUX Kern or Fancy. <---- Do all that in fastboot! ---- Check the Galaxy Nexus wiki page for these commands. I'd search "fastboot commands" in xda, there's some cool s*** fastboot can do.

Then you can boot recovery, adb push all sd stuff back over. Flash a new rom with adb sideload. Make sure to download trickster and either set Dynamic Fsync = OFF or set Fsync = ON to avoid data corruption system gangbangs. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lo97:
It says that wase pass but didn't change anything. Also flash the recovery didn't change anything (I was on CMW and after flashing the TWRP, it opened CWL like always). I'm desperate .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
nothing is changed after flashing, it took long time to flash system then it failed...= fried emmc, need replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lo97:
Also if it works normally for like a cuple of minutes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
if the emmc is died, phone works fine, but nothing can be deleted or flashed. nothing will stick.

try to lock bootloader with fastboot command, i guess it will still unlocked...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lo97:
Ok, thanks ... :'((
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpm2000:
Is this a pretty surefire way to tell if emmc is good or not?

I did a fastboot OEM lock and it seems to have locked ok (reloaded bootloader after command)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Are you able to adb push, adb sideload, fastboot flash anything over at this point? If you can you get into a recovery and use adb check for any files in data, system, cache that aren't deleted. Then run

adb shell
/sbin/busybox mount -w -o remount /system /system
/sbin/busybox mount -w -o remount /data /data
/sbin/busybox mount -w -o remount /cache /cache
find / -exec /sbin/busybox chattr -i '{}'\;

. This will make sure you don't have any immutable files; it makes all files mutable so rm -rf works and so installations can replace and delete them.

So, after hours of looking for the stock rom for my Samsung galaxy S ( I don't know which one it is.. It just says samsung at the top and bottom) I found a gingerbread rom, and I flashed it to my phone via Odin. I reset the phone, and I no longer had my 3g, and my phone number says "Unknown". I installed Froyo 2.2.2 before this, and it was working perfectly, except that wasn't the stock that I was looking for, and so that was the reason I flashed the gingerbread ROM..
