HI: I don't know if this has been asked before. What I need to know is the difference between Internal memory-1 and Internal memory-2. On my Freelander SXZ-PDXO-03 when I go to Settings/ Storage I get Internal Storage (which I will call INT Storage-1) all it says is Total Space=504 MB and APPS=409MB and available 62.69MB. Then it says Internal Storage (which I call INT Storage-2) it says Total Space=5.79GB Apps=479mb Pic./Vid.=108MB DwnLds=273MB Available=3.99GB. My Question is what is the difference between the 2 Int.Storage's and when I try to download an App it says out of mem space when I have 62.69MB in Int. Storage-1 and 3.99GB in Int Storage-2. How do I tell the dwnldr to downloader it to Int Storge-2 or my ExtSD card where I have 21.7FGB of Storage space left? I know this along Question but I am confused on the nomanclature of how Memory is Designated. Also another Question is my system is rooted and is there a way to tell the System to Recognize a 64GB,128Gb SD Card where it now only recognize a 32GB card. thanks for any help you can give me on my Questions Dan Mericle Sr (danvdman)
[General Questions and Answers] stipipoy:
Difference is that your internal (phone) memory is partitioned to 2 parts. 1st part, with only a total of 504mb used to store apps while the 2nd part that acts like an external card with a total of 5.79gb used to store other files like music, pictures, etc. To resolve this, go to settings > storage and select memory card under preffered installation location to allow you to install apps directly to your SD card but be mindful that not all apps can be moved to SD. As for your 2nd question, that i am not aware so lets leave it to the experts.

more Questions

HI: Thanks that clears up a little bit of confusion:good: I tried your Fix but can't find how to select memory card under preffered. There is no sutch selection offered just the memory stats. Now how do I make more memory available to the apps Internel mem 1.79GB? like make 1.79GB available which would then make Internal memory-2 total=4GB that would take care of out of memory error on downloads.

another Q?

HI: I still haven't heard from any one about my Previous problem. Here are the things I tried. I have an old Sony Computer it has Win XP on it. I tried to put UBUNTU 13.10 Fat32 on it as the Sony only has 256 MB Ram and a Pentium III CPU. But it won't load it comes up with a pink screen then goes blank. I can see HDD active light blinking and a cursor blinking in the upper left corner of my monitar screen. I let run for 1-HR + one day and it did nothing. What am I doing wrong? Maybe the Version of UNBUTU is to new. Maybe I need an earlyer version? I was hoping that being that 4EXT is a LINUX file type that I could find a LINUX partition manager and change the 1st partition to Fat 32 do you think that would work?

[General Questions and Answers] danvdman:
Problem is solved

HI: I solved the problem :cowboy::good: I was reading TOM'S Hardware Forum late last night. But they were talking about SD Cards. One of the problems was there SD card was write protected and was wondering how a SD card got that way, and how to un protect it? The narrator said all SD cards and Adapters come with a switch on the right side and some times it gets pushed to the lock posistion.. A lot of people don't know about this switch. Sure enough I checked and my all of my Adapters had the switch in the locked posistion. So I unlocked one of the Adapters and tried Minitool Partition manger and it let me delete and repartition my 32GB CD card to FAT-32. So THANKS stipipoy for your answer it pointed me in the right direction

[Xperia Z1 General] Gitaroo:
pixel bining from 20MP, read it up.
[Xperia Z1 General] akusokuzan:
Probably because 3mp captures less detail, so you see less artifacting/noise
[Xperia Z1 General] jamespmi:
Sure. On your screen.

Print it as wallpaper and miss the pixeles...
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
The calculation is simply. The size of the sensor can acquire a certain quantity of light then if you use 8mpx or even 20mpx, for the sensor is too much so he have to recover the definition with huge processing and in this case you will see on the pictures all this kind of artifacts and noise, but when you use 3mpx the sensor is even much more and then you see amazing quality colors and nice pictures but just when you zoom a bit into the picture you will see the distortion because of less pixel density. That 20mpx or 8mpx is just to much for the sensor of Z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] Shan89:
Yes the quality of picture will be lost with 3mp when ZOOM IN but who does zooming these days, most pictures end up on the Internet in regular size not cropped. The z1 has awesome zoom but the zoom still ruins the picture.

[Xperia Z1 General] transitcheck:
I can even tell 8MP photos are way better than 3MPs. White balance, exposure, focus is better. I use 20MP with manual shots sometimes and it gives great results with right settings.

Step one: sell the crap while u can

Step two: get an lg g2

I did and i am so vey happy that i got rid of the sony and got a much better all around phone

[Xperia Z1 General] koziakauzu:
Welcome to the low-mid end camera / phone marketing BS .

Small sensor + high pixel count = crap
[Xperia Z1 General] vv91xv:
High pixel count, no small sensor, crap SOFTWARE!
[Xperia Z1 General] Shan89:
Agreed!

It's a shame really gs5, one 2, z2 are coming out in just 1/2 months and when that happen z1 will be completely forgotten which IMO is sad since we never got to see the true power of its camera thanks to sony for ****ty software.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
+1. More pixel binning. So better pics
[Xperia Z1 General] Zerousen:
Maybe as a quick point and shoot, yeah, the LG G2 might be a little better, but in all around performance, I much prefer my Z1 over my dad's G2.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
What small sensor people are referring !! Its 1/2.3" !! Same as all entry to mid level digital cameras
[Xperia Z1 General] :
They're just complaining because they don't know how to use the camera and can't take good pictures. It's correct that as a quick snapshot cam, the Z1 could probably be better because Superior Auto sucks but as you, me and many others know, it doesn't take THAT much to do some quick manual settings for nice pictures. Just ignore the trolls mate.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
We need to make a little thread for Basics of photography and lighting to help others !
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Except the Sensor is 30% bigger than the G2/S4/HTC One and pretty much any other Non-Lumia phone out there. The software is what's wrong here, not the hardware.
[Xperia Z1 General] koziakauzu:
It isn't a small sensor for a mobile phone, yes, but it is still "small" for such pixel count (>8 MP ) in my opinion.

I'm not complaining specifically about the Z1 though, still loving it.
[Xperia Z1 General] jimakos29:
Well, you need a phone to capture the moment and not set up a bowl with fruit and take a photo of it half an hour later... For professional photography people have dslr cameras. So if i need to set up my phone to take a snapshot of something that is not there when i am done setting up then it is useless.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Nice catch :good:

A quick glance at his posting history betrays him. No evidence whatsoever of ever owning a Z1. Lots to suggest interest in LG.

Whaddya say to that [mention=3123872]jimmakos29[/mention] :p
[Xperia Z1 General] Beautyspin:
I did not see his history. Any body who buys a G2 after using xz1 is not believable.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Here

is how smartphone camera sensors stack up against other camera sensors. They used the method for rating cameras here. So its different to the one used with mobiles.

What/how

are the scores measured and mean.

Among mobile photo scores the 1020 scored 79, the Z1 scored 77. This means Z1 is overall around 39-40 for still camera performance. They are done on RAW file so androids don't make it yet.

The dynamic range is much higher than i expected for a smartphone.
[Xperia Z1 General] soulzero:
Come back again when u can put a 64gb card in your LG mate. Which is, never. Bye.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

That's just it. LG should have launched the korean version of the G2 which has a user replaceable battery plus microsd card.

The intl. version has neither.
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
People here are greatly exaggerating how 'bad' the Z1 camera is.

I have literally NEVER had a moment where the Z1 camera was unusable. The point here is that the 21MP camera hardware is not being used to its fullest potential thanks to poorly optimized software. That is true. However saying the Z1 camera doesn't work or is useless is completely false. It takes pictures that work, and more often than not the pictures are great. The problem is that those 'great' pictures don't come as often as they should considering what we're dealing with.

It's completely fine for people to be dissapointed about Z1's camera, but stop saying it's unusable or that it's ****, because it isn't.
[Xperia Z1 General] Nour Gerges:
It is simple ... The cam is built as a 20.7 mpx cam , so it will reduce ( minimize ) the number of mpx to 3 , so the pixels will be saturated pixels rather than being normals pixels with a big number ( here we talk quality and quantity)

Then when you use the 3mpx option you will realise that the quality of the pic is better because it is more blury (in the photoshop studies , photographers use the blury options to hide not wanted face buttons and more) so the cam will not concentrate on the details , it will concentate on big particules rather small one that give details
[Xperia Z1 General] Shan89:
I completely agree with you , I have HTC one while one of my cousins has z1 and the other one sold it cuz he got pissed off dua poor software optimization and taking forever for every photo with the manual.

We all quiet well realize HTC one or g2 is no match for z1 camera hardware but both of these 2 are much more reliable in real world usage where you need to do quick point and shoot.

Personally I'd rather have lower camera quality then having to set it up every time for each pic.

I pretty much just point and shoot with the HTC one , sometimes I use hdr but photos are quiet good and they end up anyway on social media sites so 20 or even low 4mp are useless since we all lose the quality anyway.

When I was buying a phone I was looking for reliable phone / camera which works out of the box , not having to wait half year or more for OEM to fix it so it works as it should worked the day 1.

Just my 2 cents.

Btw I've made the test z1 vs HTC one camera test if anyone cares to see it

Well i got 32 and they are enough, plus i get to fill them with photos cause they are good and i won't miss the action till i try and search the right settings to get a snap. So u go and put 64 gig in there and keep it empty cause u cant fill it with photos man.
[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
Yeah, because the Z1's camera pictures are utter **** and completely unusable /s. Stop with the insane hyperbole, the Z1's camera's more than capable even in auto.

//////Xperia Z1s//////
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
And we got to see later how good the htc can work when you did take the time to get a proper exposure. What i don't understand is why you would not do this more often. It's obvious you like to take photos.

Ideally, auto is a guide to taking a better shot, not for the final shot. Only with iphone is auto the final shot because you cannot do anything more.

So what is the moral of the story ? quick point & shoot is going to take average shots unless the conditions are easy & good.

Why argue over which is the better average shot. Rather if you got the best shot we should ask how you did it.

Hello dears,

I've recently flashed my Exynos based Galaxy with a prerooted 4.4.2 rom (N900XXUDNA6_N900SERDNA6_N900XXUDNA1) and then, I debloated my phone and installed Xposed and Wanam.

I didn't touch any tweak related to screen rotation. But after few reboots, my autorotate doesn't work anymore ! :eek:

I tried rebooting, unplugging the battery...nothing !

It doesn't seem to be a sensor related bug, since reflashing the stock firmware resolves the problem.

Any idea ?

4.1.2

Build

VRBMF1

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
I believe old and slow tw is a rooted 4.3 that wont lock ur bootloader. Found in Android development section
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad1600:
This is an easy upgrade (and one I did, going from a 4.1.2 ROM called BoneStock 3.4 to MOAR 7.1 and then to my current TW4.3 ROM, CleanROM 8.0). Its pretty similar to any other ROM you have flashed. You just need to make sure you flash a ML1 modem (which it appears you have already done), then flashing the new ROM.

There are a number of good TW 4.3 ROMs found on the Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development thread, and while I have experience with Mother of All ROMS aka MOAR (recently updated to v8.0) and CleanROM, but each phone is different so what works best on mine (or even what has the features you value most) may differ for you. Best to research each of the TW 4.3 ROMs by reading the specific developer threads and even asking questions once you have researched. The developers and the community is very helpful once you have done your own homework. Pay attention to what the developer instructs in the OP of each thread, as most of any question have about how to install are usually answered in the OP.

The good news... these ROMs are getting rock solid... pretty problem free and smooth. Good luck and enjoy the new ROM!

UPDATE: one suggestion... you may want to update whatever Recovery you are using. I do know going to a 4.4 ROM requires the latest TWRP (the recovery I favor) to 2.6.3.1 which I am pretty sure is the latest version. It may not be required for 4.3, but seems a good idea none the less. You will also note that your files will then be stored in a different place (I am not technical enough to explain this... so do some research on that). This will make a difference when you back up important files (pictures, messages etc) and also when you do the nandroids. And always, always make nandroids!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asifparagon:
Hi all,

Such devices like Xperia U,P.... iPhones, and some other devices which have no external storage but USB OTG supported, can use SD card or pen drive with OTG. There are many kind of OTG cables, but it is very hard to carry an OTG cable & a card reader all the time, so i am thinking of an OTG with card reader in a very small (as small as it can be) form which can be carried all the time.

the card reader will b stored(may be fixed) with the back cover(as shown in the pictures).

i am usuing very small card reader slot, thin wire(like insulated copper coil wire), a tiny siwtch(on/off).

As we know, in OTG pin 4 and 5 are shorted so i am usuing a tiny switch, when i switch on, the pin 4 & 5 are shorted & the cable will work as OTG, & when i switch off it will turn as a normal USB cable, so there will be no Battery Drain. :D

i am trying to configure it ,but having problem when soldering the wires with the micro usb male port.

The connections are so tiny, so it is very hard to make it alone, i tested it in a bit large form & it workes, but in small size as shown in figure it becomes very hard to make it ,,,,,,,

i am requesting you all to try it & make it by yourself,

if we can make it personally i think one day such cables will b available in market in very stable form for all usurs.

Hi all,

I have been coming to this forum for a while now but since I lost my login data I had to re-register and now can't post in the developers section.

My i9505 has one of the latest CM11 nightlies on it, and it worked fine apart from the device switching of for no appearent reason when in its holster (might have been unintentional pushing of buttons, I don't know) and sometimes not booting properly. Usually after some "convincing" by pushing the on button again it would start up eventually.

Today, it switched off again and now seems completely dead. No reaction what so ever when pushing/holding the "on" button, or the recovery or download button combo. When attaching the charger no animation is shown and the device seems to get pretty hot pretty fast.

Does anyone have an idea on what might be wrong, and is there anything I can still try to revive it, or should I just send it in for repairs? If it is dead no one can see there is a custom rom on it, right? So it should be covered by warranty...

Thanks upfront for any help!
