[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] younix258:
I think i might have insight here..

I recently looked into dev settings on my nexus 4 and set 'show pointer" out of curiosity. It is very interesting how the systems tells you not only the coordinates of the pointer, but the

change

in x- and y-coordinates, aka the speed of your finger as you glide. It also extrapolates where your finger would end up based on that speed, much like a momentum simulation.

I think whats happening here is that as you lift, you might flick the tip just a millimeter or so but at a high speed and the system extrapolates the line quite unnaturally. I might be wrong here tho, its just a theory.

Edit: looking back at the photo, notice that the lines happen as you lift the pen and not as you set it down..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] henreeg:
Happens to me too. I don't think that everyone here doesn't know how to lift a pen when they stop writing.

That doesn't make sense. It's a Samsung issue that I hope they fix in the next update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Hahahalalala:
Does your case have a magnet on it? Sometimes magnets mess with Note 10.1 S-Pen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thegios:
I have the original samsung case that yes, have small magnets on the edge and in the middle
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Hahahalalala:
The original samsung case shouldn't give any problems,. but try taking it out for a while and see how that goes.

If not, call Samsung Support.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] angomy:
So far, I'm not able to replicate the stray line issues here, but my case (some generic flip cover with an elastic band to hold it shut) does not have magnets because I was concerned about the effect on the s-pen behavior so it could be that.

However, in terms of a fix you could try adjusting the sensitivity of your s-pen itself.

CAUTION!! you may damage it by doing so, I'm not responsible etc etc, do at your own risk !! ---

The click button along the side of the s-pen (with the ridges in it) is remove-able and underneath it is a screw you can adjust (in very small increments please) to adjust the sensitivity of the pen. The screw NEAREST the pen tip (there are two screws next to each other) is what you would adjust --- going CLOCKWISE to DECREASE sensitivity, and COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to INCREASE sensitivity.

I adjusted it to be slightly less sensitive as my pen was registering on the screen sometimes without touching it --- it appears that the tail-ended portions of your E's may also be a result of over-sensitivity.

YMMV of course :)

I tried updating but it fails, looks like it's due to vroot which I found dumps a bunch of crop in system. Unfortunately Sony don't use update.zip for ota so can't find out which patch it fails on, and the ota log contains nothing useful.

Anyway, if it's anything like 4.3 on the Z I'd advise you skip it, it's seriously buggy.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmeldano:
Hi,

I have a brand new Xperia SP, manufactured on 2013/W50, so it's really new. It contains the latest stock firmware.

After I start or answer a call and put the phone to my ears, it's screen doesn't came back and remains off until the call is ended by the other party. No matter if I'm moving the phone away from my head, not even the hard buttons are turning the screen back on. The touchscreen is not working either. It's just stuck as if it's near to my head. I can't even hang up the call...

It happens about 80% of time. Sometimes it works as expected without any problems. Happens more often when having an incoming call after a longer period (30+ mins) or if the call takes more than 1 minute (auto screen disable time?).

As a workaround, I turned on the function that power button hangs up call, but I cannot use my touchscreen while call.

I checked the proximity sensor with the phone's diagnostic function and with cpu-z and the sensor is just working fine 100% of the time.

Is it a known bug or a hardware problem? Does it have a workaround?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhukarmohan:
hmmm

I have the same problem. It is one of the few bugs in 12.0.a.2.254 build. Guys using unofficial release of 4.3 are not facing such problems. I suggest you to wait for the official 4.3 update which will be released soon according to SONY. :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmeldano:
really?

thanks!

so, this is surely a known bug in the 254 firmware? I'm just wondering because I asked this on other xperia sp forums but no users complained about it.

is there a workaround for it?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhukarmohan:
yes :)

Yeah, few r experiencing that. i hv seen complaints in sony blog and here too. I asked this question few days back. but, I didnt get reply.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
I experienced this problem once.I think it was fixed after performing a SEUS repair...Not sure though :silly:...

Try performing a factory data reset on even reset app datas
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmeldano:
thx

thanks to both of you, I'll do factory reset and repair via PC software, and some more factory resets. that should solve the problem.

I'm wondering why an out-of-the-box phone needs a reset, but let's see :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Don't forget to backup.First of all clear the data of the Settings -> Apps(or reset them)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmeldano:
thanks. I won't backup as I installed only a few apps and the phone is almost factory state. but I'll do everything else.

hope it works. thanks to all, I'll report the results.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
I hope everything goes fine ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmeldano:
no success :(

I reset applications, did a factory reset, reinstalled phone's software with sony pc application, checked after each step, but no success...

sometimes working, sometimes not (mostly not) but the proximity sensor works fine.

out of ideas...:(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Bring it to a sony service(or how's it called to your country)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmeldano:
it seems it's related to deep sleep. when I am called after the phone was left for 30+ minutes, it's more willing to not turning on the screen, but it turns it on after a while if having a long call. when I start the call, it mostly works. not always, but most of the time.

so it seems it's not sensor-related but something like the software is bugging.

what I don't really understand, why the hardware buttons are disabled while phoning when the phone is put to the face. it'd be enough to code that power button turns on/off the screen no matter what the proximity sensor says. I'd program it like that as a backup solution.

I wouldn't send it for repair, here in Hungary I always hear that mobile phone services just reinstall software and don't care about testing or finding the problem (if not deterministic), and do it again and again while you get tired and accept the failure. yes, it's sad but in the time of MNCs, the user doesn't matter at all after bought the product.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Try flashing custom firmware(not sure if it will work try it)...

If it doesn't work again then it's a hardware fault and not a software bug ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmeldano:
yes, that's another option. the other option is to cry off from purchase (I can do it within a week), they return the money, and I buy another one. I'll see as this is not that disturbing problem and I have no other problems with the phone like wifi bug or anything else.

someone said it's a bug so I hope 4.3 next month will solve it.

Hi Guys,

Im running CM11 ( 11-20140116-Nightly-p880) and guess I'm being dumb...but I can't seem to the option to save pictures from the camera to external SDCard....any ideas???

Go gentle, Im a bit of a novice ;)

Thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
dont think cm's camera has that option enabled yet. you may try few things, like using iodak's ported stock camera app for aosp roms, or extracting the gallery2.apk file from a rom which has "save to external sd card" option in their camera (probably all 4.2.2, 4.3 and some 4.4 roms)

On Vanir but...

it's the same for me. Ever since moving from Vanir 4.3.x to Vanir 4.4.x. At first I thought it was just an omission in the cam settings, but since then I've encountered a few strange things that led me to believe it wasn't (just) an omission in the settings. I use FTPServer usually to transfer stuff from PC to ext SD and it too can't write to external SD, then I went and tried with ES File Explorer and RootExplorer - all same. This all seems to me as it's an permissions (mounting?) problem and, since I see now it's not specific to Vanir, I'm inclined to conclude it's got something to do with KitKat itself. I'm going to try and find a solution, if I do, I'll bring it back home (here). Beware, I'm a total noob Android-wise, so if anyone who knows better sees this thread, please help.

EDIT 1: Damn, I'm a new user, so I can't post external links. I'll try and "describe" it. :D

It's at world wide web dot androidauthority dot com slash galaxy-s4-gpe-android-4-3-sd-card-fix-254960 slash

It seems to me that could be/lead to a solution to our problems. Will investigate and update.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
our external sd card isn't mounted as writable by default in kitkat. danny1990 has a fix in beanstalk topic, you gotta change permissions.xml file, really easy to do. the important thing is if there is an *option* inside camera app to save to sd-ext (if there is, your pictures will turn out corrupted untill you fix permissions.xml)

edit:

yeah, it's platform.xml, and the fix is the same as the one in that article.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sinbrkatetete:
Thanks

Yeah, I've just "fixed" the permissions in platform.xml and all the file explorers and the ftp server now work as before. Unfortunately, the cam app still doesn't have "choose storage location" option; it's obviously left out in the app. Thanks for your help, mate.

Also, if there's anyone on the new Vanir Nightly, did your cam app start lagging like crazy on the last two nigthlies? On 011714 and 011814 my cam is unusable. What's it like for you on CM? It takes about 20 seconds from "button press" to it taking the photo. Everything else in the cam app works without lag (focusing, change of focal point, settings, switching to gallery, between gallery and cam-view, between taken pictures... I'm to new to post in the development section, so if there's anyone that has a simmilar experience with our cam app on the latest nigthtlies, it'd be very nice if he/she'd post it in the Vanir thread. Thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
try grabbing gallery2.apk from beanstalk, and using it in your vanir nightly; beanstalk build has a camera that supports choosing of storage location.

also, does the lag you get from camera happen only when you manually focus, or even when you just press shutter without manually focusing?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sinbrkatetete:
About the camera...

Thanks. Will look into it. (I've never disassembled an Android ROM, so I don't know what I'll find in the zip, but I'll gladly read up on it and learn).

EDIT: Tried the gallery2.apk from beanstalk, no changes. The option for storage location doesn't appear. Tried installing camera2.apk from the same ROM, but got denied with something like "the same apk already installed, conflicting signatures". There's also no change in camera lag.

Unfortunately it happens no matter what I do / how I take a photo (I've just tried doing it without focusing manually.). About 15-20 second lag. Also, I've just noticed that it doesn't record video. When I press the "rec" button, the timer starts counting, but the display freezes (not the whole display, but the "live action display" (displays what you're recording) and when I stop the recording after about 30 seconds, nothing is saved.

EDIT: I've also noticed that Instagram (unlike foursquare, whatsapp & facebook, which obviously use the "stock" cam app) takes photos in normal time frame, but that it also doesn't save the video. I press&hold to record, when I release, there's nothing recorded.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
Hmmm, maybe official cm11 team derped sth in last nightlies. And my bad, you meed camera2.apk,not the gallery one, but first you must delete your original camera2.apk, then put beanstalks camera2.apk in system/app and set permissions like other apks have, and reboot. This is screenshot of beanstalks camera settings, notice the location is set as sd card.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sinbrkatetete:
Thanks. Will try that as soon as I'm done with work stuff... Maybe the Beanstalk cam helps. Thanks again
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sinbrkatetete:
thanks

Done as you've said, now both the front camera (that doesn't work in latest three Vanir nightlies - 19,18,17) and the "main" camera work. The lag isn't present when automatically focusing, but presents itself when using manual focus (manual focal point selection). Also, it now saves to external sd.

The video still freezes after a couple of seconds, the timer continues counting, but no video saved.

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll try and learn about logging and reporting bugs to the devs... give, what little I have to give, back to the guys who spend their precious time and brainpower for all of us. See you around.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
lag is present in manual focus, yeah, hopefully that'll be fixed soon. if you don't want to bother, install iodak's ported official camera, it has working manual focus, and it also has save to external sd option. check themes&apps subforum.

video isn't working yet on roms based on unofficial cm11, and vanir official (like omni official, and slimkat (un)official) is based on our unofficial cm11 sources ^^

if you really really need video, try cyanfox or official cm11 nightlies, they have working camera, but at the cost of lower performance and some other bugs

devs already know about the issue we have with camera, so no need to report it (you can check cm11 unofficial/omnirom threads for updates about camera problems). good luck and enjoy :good:

Would you happen to have the APK? For the life of me I can't save it to my computer. ADB won't recognize my phone at the moment.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] fogame:
Awesome! You the man. I will delete the previous one from my System and move this APK there.

Edit:

Question.

Not quite sure what you mean by set permissions like other applications. Once I move it to the system\app do I need to do anything else?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
yeah, you need to modify it's permissions to 644, or rw-r-r. you should be able to do that with most file explorers, i personally use root browser
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fogame:
Alright that's what I thought. I use root explorer to do so. I will do that once I get home and report back.

Another question. My wife has a Galaxy S3 and just updated to 4.4. This fix should work for her right? Lol I've only done the Optimus lines so I wouldn't know.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
the 4.4 on her phone is cm11 too, right? if so, i recommend she downloads beanstalk/any other rom that has sd card option, but for her device, and extract it from there. you can try with the apk i uploaded, but make sure you make a backup
[LG Optimus 4X HD] fogame:

I'm a total moron, I'll just start there. Was running KOT49H【4.4.2】Google Edition and wanted to go back to vision x since your latest update.

What bootloader are you one ? It seems to me you are on MDL and I can't see why you would need to flash the MK2. You are just stuck in recovery correct ? If you can get in recovery just flash the vision x rom again.

You didn't state if you can get into recovery or not. Everytime to flash a rom you flash a kernel so even KT's kernel failed you still have a kernel. You might need to explain some more

EDIT: your other post said you cant get into recovery. When you say no dice on the reboot does that mean it's in a bootloop and all you get is the sammy slash screen ? Can you try ODIN again and flash the MDL firmware. I'm not sure but back in the S3 days if you flashed older firmware you had a bootloop after but then had to just do a factory reset in stock 3e recovery and it would boot
