[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
I just won't do that. Carry two devices with me. I'll buy a cheapo Note 2 from eBay and wait it out for the Note 4 this Fall yes? It should have a new camera tech. if not, I'll just get a Note 3 then at that time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
I agree with this, any dedicated camera, from a Lumix to a Panasonic would trounce any smartphone as they usually come with Optical zooms and a dedicated lens, however, I can undersatnd you not wanting to carry 2 devices and yeah, unless your a roady or love your nightclubing, then not a lot of night shots.

Ahh now i see what you mean :), both N2 and N3 have 16:9 and 4:3 aperture angles,.. adjustable in Camera Settngs as well as portrait and Landscape shooting, so your fine for both. However, stevenjcampbell does have a point about future specs.. Samsung have a nasty habit of cutting their OS off at the knees to sell future devices.. Ie, the Galaxy S3 could easily support SHealth, etc, but thats the game isnt it.

By the same token, waiting a year on the Note 3 may be a good move because itll give sammy time to pull their finger out and fix some of the N3s issues, just as they made the N2 and S3 just about perfect now, but thats your choice to decide :).

The N2 is a great device, and you wont be dissapointed with it, plus in a years time the N3 will still be around so maybe you can get one then.

Good luck and Enjoy yur N2 :)

First thing: Holy crap is that you in the avatar? You are gorgeous, and liking tech as well, that's even sexier

On topic: Well thanks for posting the new flash thing. That's what I want to hear. If this is true and they don't fix Note 3's sorry excuse for a night cam, I'll just stick with buying a cheap Note 2 and hold out for a Note 4. Lets see whast happens when S5 comes in. I will gladly shell out my 401K for a Note 4 with a camera with decent low light performance
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OMG-FFS:
As a semi-pro to an amateur photographer, Wider normally means the Field of View, which depends on the lens's focal length, not aperture. For instance the 35mm (on a full frame sensor) is equal to what human eye can see, >35mm (full frame sensor) called Tele lens (will bring the object closer but capture less of the scenery), and less than 35mm is called Wide angle lens, it will make the object look farther away but the lens will capture a lot more than your eye can see.

The remark about the Full Frame Sensor means that if a photo sensor is smaller than the full frame (36x24mm) then a crop factor comes into play which effectively increases the focal length of a lens. For example the sensor 2x smaller (18x12mm) than a full frame will make a 50mm lens act as a 75mm lens on a full frame. Therefore small and compact cameras sometimes have their lenses marked as 5-25mm which, at 5mm would be an insane wide angle on a full frame camera (probably very close to a 180 degree field of view). In reality 5-25 can be something like 28-140mm on a small compact due to a smaller sensor.

Back to the topic, I've never seen the Phone camera having any markings on the camera lens, but you can look at the picture properties taken by camera of your interest and you will find the focal length and sometimes the 35mm focal length equivalent (which is a full frame reference) is also marked.

See attachment of a pic properties taken with Note 3. It is a 4mm lens equal to 31mm on a full frame, which is a little wider than a human eye can see. I don't own a Note 2 to compare its lens to my Note's 3 lens but you can search the forum or google for some pictures taken with Note2.

By the way, more megapixels doesn't automatically mean the worse low light performance and it has nothing to do with how many pixels camera has to process (you can change megapixels in cam settings by the way, won't make it perform better I think), if it's not lagging, it's capable of processing enough magapixels and I found the Note 3 camera being very snappy in fact. Low light performance would hugely depend on a camera hardware as well as a software. We can't change the 1st one so hopefully the 2nd one will be updated in the future system updates.

More megapixels however have a huge advantage in the absence of an optical zoom. Try taking 2 exact pictures at 13Mp and 6Mp for example, then zoom in on any object in a picture viewer and compare the small details.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FeralFire:
I am gonna go a little off-topic here.

Would it help the noise in the pictures if we reduced the JPEG compression? The note 3 compresses the images a LOT.

I did flash my device from the k-jam auk2 to the o2 AUK2 rom and then after a few days went back to the k-jam rom.

THe k-jam rom is much more stable and i find has less junk in it.

What i really wanted from the o2 rom, like the theams is on the ext rom anyway.

If you are on the k-jam rom, my advice is to stay there.

[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
if I have already upgraded to kit kat 4.4.2? I take it that since the 4.4.2 OTA hasn't been pushed for my Verizon Dev Ed device, that the factory images I have been given by Motorola are for 4.4.

But once the 4.4.2 OTA is pushed, the factory images I have now would be out of date because those are for 4.4., right? Then will Motorola release 4.4.2 factory images later?

Also, what does it mean when in bootloader mode it says Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3. What is the status code 3?
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
It gives you the stock recovery, the stock system image with all the applications, and the ability to update over the air (OTA). People re-flash the factory images either when they think they messed up their phone, or when they want the latest update via OTA instead of waiting for a SBF package. In short, it returns the phone to the default/non modded status.

I am fairly certain that a SBF will be made for 4.4.2, it just is taking a bit longer this time, maybe they are busy, especially since there is no new updates around the corner any time soon. Since you have already updated to 4.4.2 (like myself) there is no way to go back to stock unless you have made a recovery image in TWRP/CWM. Then all you have to do to update, is reflash the stock recovery image and then you can take a system OTA.

The bootloader on this phone cannot be downgraded, due to the eFuse system incorporated into it. If you attempt to load a lower bootloader in RSD Lite, it will simply fail to install and nothing else bad will happen, however, if you force the bootloader overwrite then you have a nice new paperweight (aka hard brick), because this trips the eFuse.

Status code 3 is basically the computer flag telling the future firmware updates that your bootloader has already been unlocked, so if you update using that same carrier/firmware, you don't lose your unlocked bootloader status. Another reason why you need to simply stick with your own firmware. As there have been reports that loading another regions/phones firmware can lock your bootloader again because the flag isn't there.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
It restores everything I modded? I erased the clogo.bin file and then I think I flashed with some other bin file to clogo and of course, didn't save a backup. Now I can't get the Kit Kat easter egg when I tap the build version so clearly it has something to do with the clogo file I messed with. I can live without the easter egg, but I don't want to brick my device. So I guess I should just flash the factory images and see what happens.

and even if your bootloader is unlocked, you have a hard brick and there is no way to correct that?

If my bootloader were to ever get locked again, can't I use the same 20 digit unlock key that Motorola emailed me to unlock it?

Many thanks again, and sorry I cannot hit the thanks button until tomorrow!
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
If you are already on 4.4.2 then you can flash the 4.4.2 "factory image" when it is released and it should be fine/back to normal.

Correct, all the phones have the same eFuse system, even the developer phones. This "supposedly" prevents people from screwing up their phones more. (Personally I think it's silly, but I also have a Nexus, so it doesn't bother me).

You should be able to (if you still have your IMEI), however there are reports that some people are losing their IMEI too, if this gets lost and there is no way to recover it then you are out of luck, because in order to unlock the bootloader it has to verify that the code works for your IMEI (which is carrier specific).
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
It seems like the eFuse is the cause of people screwing up their phones. I suppose they do these sorts of things to satisfy potential corporate customers who want secure devices for their corporate communications.

Wow, that is awful but can't an IMEI be restored somehow if you know what it is? I not only have my box, Verizon has all my IMEI's stored on their system.
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
Sadly corporate security is much less of a concern to them and actually something else entirely (see Samsung's encryption protocol for enterprise - SAFE). Motorola doesn't want to bother with supporting people on lower firmwares, and this prevents them from having to worry about it because they will always require you to be on the latest firmware for support, this eFuse system basically prevents people from using exploits in previous versions of the system (aka getting root on a non-unlocked phone, etc).

If you have your EFS files backed up then you are okay, you can just restore it and you are good to go again. However, the IMEI is a secure file, so you cant make a new one if its gone (nor can your cell company), this system in effect prevents people stealing phones and changing the IMEI in order to not be blacklisted. This system is in place for a very good reason, while not perfect (try selling a used phone to someone who understands this), its the best deterrent against theft currently available.
[Moto X Q&A] Cozume:
If I do a nandroid backup does it back those files up? if not, what can I use to back them up?

Also, I will have to come back tomorrow and the next day to hit the thanks button because I will use up all my thanks again tomorrow on you, lol!
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
There are tools available to backup your EFS partition in case a nandroid doesn't work correctly. Some CWM/TWRP versions do EFS partition backups, some don't, be sure to read through the threads and make sure. Asking a question goes a long way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubbe:
Hello guys, as you seen I've been lurking around this forum for quite awhile and this is by far the best gadget forum ever. Specially for technical matters.

Anyway, this is my first time using custom rom, and CM is blazing fast! I hope this is the right section for posting on the 2012 version (GT N8000). Got the cm-10.2-20140209-NIGHTLY-n8000 flashed using ClockWorkMod and, so far everything seems to be working perfectly, even the stylus pressure sensitivity, except for google play absence which I've already solved too.

However, just one problem. The device now won't mount my SDCard properly, instead it's located in mnt\extsdcard and storage\sdcard1. Unlike when using the GT N8000 vanilla/stock rom, it should located up there along with "sdcard" and "phone internal storage".

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubbe:
Oh I might add a little, MTP seems to be detecting the SDCard without any problem too, it's just that when I browse the folders within the device, it's not quite up there like it use to on Samsung stock rom.

Minor annoyance, but still, if there's any solution for this I'll be very thankful!

PAC Deodexed

And here is PAC deodexed. The original version is odexed, so this one is for those who prefer deodexed. I have also made the following changes:

1. Removed lines that call for LT28h in META-INF, so that any ION owner can flash this rom;

2. Changed property in build.prop to prevent screen flickering in ION; and

3. Removed about 6mb of useless Android videos in Media/Video directory.

Otherwise, all of this is the work of djolivier, for which he gets CREDIT.

Dear all,

Have a bit of a problem. Have a HTCOne Dev Ed. Android 4.4. Had to encrypt to allow work exchange mail to work. Has also been rooted and has TWRP recovery.

Now have a problem. Because of encryption, cannot mount the drive in TWRP. Also means cannot get OTA updates to work. Cannot do a factory reset either.

As I see it, only way to remove encryption and restore to factory stock would be to S-off and run a RUU of the stock. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Also, would rumrunner run into any problems due to the encryption. Don;t really want to brick a functioning phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijofrancisza:
Found a way

Right folks, I have found a way thanks to everyone who posts on this site and other similar ones. Can't get S-Off with rumrunner without removing encryption and getting rid of screen lock. Cannot flash a new ROM or restore stock ROM without S-Off.

Step 1: Have to change TWRP to Clockwork Mod recovery. Then go to the Mount and Storage page, and choose "format /data and format /data/media" option at the bottom of the list of options. Once formatted,

Step 2: For some reason even after removing the pin to unlock screen, Rumrunner would not work. Eventually found out about Firewater from pradeepvizz's post on XDA-Developers.. This got S-off

Step 3: Flash a new ROM. I decided to try the GPE ROM. Although for some reason this got stuck after the first pass on my computer with Win 8. Worked fine when tried again on a Win 7 PC.

Took about 4-5 hours to do this but I couldn't have figured it out without all the folks who post on this and similar sites. Thanks to all.
