[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndttung8487:
I've realized that with CM rom, my phone doesn't have the ability to autofocus or even touch to focus while recording video. So is this a bug of CM or my phone had failed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SighIsAnonymous:
Have you updated to the latest nightly? The 2/26/2014 nightly fixed a few issues with the camera. Not sure on the specifics, but I know they fixed a few bugs. Added a few things to. Id recommend you head over to HellDevs CM.11 Compiled with linaro and try it! I'm not at my house to check for you, or I would.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndttung8487:
Thank you! BTW, I've tried the latest nightly but the issue is recording video is useless. I hope in the future dev team will fix video recording issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SighIsAnonymous:
I went ahead and did some investigating.(; Have you had this feature before? From what I can tell this has never been a feature.. I know SOME certain camera's supported this. Not sure CM's team ever did with the included camera. I just tried it on to different CM.11 based ROMS for our device and it did not have that feature. So either they will port it in or just leave it out! Hope I helped a little.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ndttung8487:
Sorry for a late reply, but for CM11 latest nightlies. I've seen that recording video is useless. If you can point out rom which video recording work perfectly (not stock rom), can you suggest me? Thank you very much

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SighIsAnonymous:
Id agree stock would be best.

Can you suggest any stock rom with ability to turn off 4G? Because i just wanna use 2G to save battery. Thank you
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udinbak:
I had a rooted phone, but I wanted to install the US firmware so that I could have Android 4.4.2 (I had a german version before).

Now that I have successfully upgraded to 4.4, my device is no longer rooted (apparently).

I can install supersu, but I get error message (no su binary installed).

Any help would be appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
I bought a Nexus 5 on day 1 and quickly returned it once i got it. The screen was so badly washed out it made my Nexus 4 look like a 4K TV, sound quality was just horrible and the defect was insane distortion and crackling coming from the speaker on many songs, I even posted about that here and i wasn't alone.

I returned it and decided to stick with my N4 for another year, since then the bluetooth, camera, and phone are all failing on my nexus 4, i can't focus the camera, bluetooth cuts out constantly and the phone hangs up for no reason with perfect service. So i badly need a new phone now. I hate to even consider another nexus from LG considering what's happening to my N4 but it's more expensive to get a new N4 or Moto X than it is a N5.

So i'm hoping that someone can tell me if through a rom, kernel, app that the washed out screen and terrible sound quality are fixable.

Simple as that. I'd be willing to give the N5 another shot if i can install something that will get the screen to look normal and sound to not sound so ungodly terrible. I had to do that on the Galaxy Nexus for over a year and if i have to do it again so be it. Better that than having a broken phone like i do right now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

For the colors it's on the kernel side so you can try ElementalX, Faux123 or Franco kernels. They also have sound improvements, tunables via apps, like the colour control. Just take a look in the OP of the kernel threads.

There is also this mod for the sound: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532788, I use it and it works great for me.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
Thanks for the fast reply. So for the colors guess it's probably the same as the GNex where someone comes up with the perfect setting and we all use it?

And the sound mod sounds interesting. I do remember the volume being quite low yet still having terrible quality. Does that improve upon the quality at all? It was just shocking how my N4, hell my 3DS had better sound quality than the N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Cant comment on that mod but viper4android definitely improves quality
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Yes, for example in Franco thread or in the Franco kernel FAQ thread you have a ton of profiles, it depends on your tastes but the "washed" screen is easily fixed.

For the sound mod it's mainly about louder sound, but for me it seems "clearer" (?), but I'm not a melomane then... maybe I have not the right ears :D

Like rootSU said if you really want a total control over the quality, try Viper4Android...

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Its been 2 years and key components are failing? that's no good for LG
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
Well finally got my N5 and franco kernel worked perfectly for the screen quality. Few presets i'm switching between as i try to find the right spot. So much better than it was on the GNex though.

Sound wise not too happy so far. the rom i'm using has DSP manager and i played around with that but couldn't really get anything to sound that much better, same with viper. The louder mod did work but actually almost made it too loud and the phone as is is actually pretty loud, not as loud as my N4 but it's good enough so far.

one thing i noticed with DSP manager and Viper is that they didn't seem to affect ringtones or anything other than the music app. Is there anyway to get them to do that, or any other form of system wide audio improvement that will affect 100% of all sounds through the speaker?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
the displays inside the nexus 5 are all different. just like some chips can handle more undervolting than others. some will find one color preset better than another. franco has a couple dozen color presets from the community in his app that make testing very easy
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawktalon:
RMA

My N5 works fine. Yours must have been defective. Also, there are lots of mods out there that allows you to change the screen color temperature out there so might as well give it a try if you still think it is problematic after RMA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enjid:
I recently removed knox and rooted my phone following the guide. Worked great... I got into my phone with CM10, except for a constant "There was a problem communicating with google servers. Try again later." error message. I thought it was a bad wipe, so I rewiped and reflashed the ROM. No joy. I did a full factory reset from the menu. No joy.

Searching on Google and XDA yielded a lot of messages about the Google servers going down a few years ago. Obviously this wasn't the case. Finally, I found something that worked:

Disabled 2-step Authentication (mostly to make it easier on myself)

Removed the account

Cleared the data on the "Google Account Manager"

Readded said account

This worked for me. I'm on CM10.2.1-dspr (stable).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CodenameCyborg:
It worked! I reflashed rom and did a lot of things but removing the 2-step verification worked! I love you man! Thx. :D

Thanks a lot, you saved me with the hint. Without google account on phone, phone is almost useless, can't get all my contacts, can't install any app from play store and no gmail.

Well, I didn't find link for this PrebuiltGmsCore.apk on this post but after some search I found this gapps zip which contains PrebuiltGmsCore.apk inside system\priv-app folder. just extract it and install. That will install Google Play Services and then you should able to add google account.

ps: google play services frequently keep crashing but not sure yet if some additional dependency require. I will try cleaning cache and data and try adding account again.

None of the above methods worked for me

I tried all the methods posted here. Unfortunately, none of it worked for me. I removed the existing primary account in this process of making it work and lost my contacts with it. I couldn't add my account again because of this error. So, I got into contacts.google.com, exported my contacts from there to a vcf file and loaded that onto my mobile. Then, I have installed amazon appstore. Now everything is fine;) Hope this helps at least some people who is still struggling with it.:o

P.S: I'm going to get rid of gapps when I get time.

Couldn't sign in There was a problem communicating with google servers.

Note! Root Required!!

Go to settings- apps - playstore and Clear Data and cache

Now using any root file explorer (Esxplorer recommended) open etc folder located in root folder... locate host file - open with text editor..

it should look like below

123.0.0.1 local host

12 ip6-local host

# 123.123.12.123 android.clients.google.com

Now just add # infront of the second ip address which is 123.123.12.123 as shown above

save the file restart the phone and it will work..

Thank if it helps you(I am not a developer so it might not work for everyone but atleast give it a try)

Google- error communicating with the server

Success! I now have a virus free phone, running on lineage os 14.1-20170518-unofficial-AC55HE, Android version 7.1.2.

However I now have a major problem, I cannot access the google play store. I try and add my gmail account and receive a message "error communicating with the servers, please try again later". I have googled and attempted some way to fix this, clearing and deleting all google data and cache and rebooting with no luck. I attempted various internet connections again no luck. I tired flashing with GAPPS- did not work, received an error about an ? MD5 file missing. Tried installing an apk file but came back as corrupt and unable to install. So I'm at a complete loss, have an amazing virus free phone but with no apps! Has anybody any idea how to fix this? Please! Any suggestions/solutions would be extremely welcome! Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
Md5 missing is just a message, not an error. Turn off md5 verification in twrp. You don't need an md5 to flash gapps. Use open gapps. Or use a different app store.

HTC One has better SoC (processor and GPU), better screen (1080p vs 720), better sound, more internal space, better battery. Which isn't a surprise, since HTC One is a generation younger than Nexus 4.

The only question is price: ff you're going to buy HTC One new at full price, wait 3 weeks, because HTC One (2014) is going to be presented on 25th March and launched in the first week of April.
[General Topics] J. Clarkson:
I won't be. What price do you reckon it will be dropped to this version I'm getting. I'm gonna try get it for £180 new/used if I can, I'm confident I can do it. Will the new be dropped to any price near that?
[General Topics] myself11:
180£ is too low, even used.

Right now - at least in Portugal - prices of used HTC One in mint condition are around 400€. Maybe in a month or two prices might drop to 350 or 300€. Don't expect lower than that.
[General Topics] dimsar2013:
For hardware, HTC One is way better. But I would keep the Nexus 4 because the pure Android, the instant android updates and the features that most phones do not support.

It's your choice and the decision depends on your needs and what you do like most

Nexus is always a Nexus, but HTC One has a lot of support and even a Google Edition.

Oh yeah,Google Play Edition. I almost forgot this. But tell me how can someone deliver it if he is out of the United States?

I don't know if Google Stores in UK or Germany sell it. But he doesn't need that. If he wants the AOSP experience, he can flash his regular HTC One.

OK. The thing I do not like very much on HTC phones is the user interface, while Nexus phones have stock Android launcer.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foosion:
I'm thinking of getting a G Pad so that I can copy RAW photos from my camera and do some basic photo viewing and processing. The tablet seems small enough to easily fit in my camera bag.

To do this, I need USB OTG (to copy files from the camera or a full size sd card) and sd card storage (for the storage capacity).

1) If I'm reading correctly, I can use a USB OTG cable with the G Pad to copy files either directly from a camera or from an sd card. This would be true with either stock or GPE.

2) If I'm reading correctly, there's no problem with reading and writing to an sd card with stock, but with GPE I'd have to root and fiddle with file permissions.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tssystems.photomate2 seems like a usable Android RAW processor that should work on the LG.

Am I missing something?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
No, that sounds about right. The gpe will be slightly faster, and if you do root, there is a kernel that also has adjusted the screen (has a yellowish/grey hue to it out of the box).

Rooting is easy using both devices, and the lg version should have a flashable kernel out to fix the screen very soon as well.

My wife has the samsung 10.1 2014 edition, and I like the gpad better in terms of speed, screen, and ease of use. It shouldn't be that way, but it is. The kindle app looks waaay better on the gpad. She also is a photographer, and while she isn't into editing her photo's, the jpegs look outstanding on the gpad. Very vibrant and in my opinion, more correct.

Samsung also came out with a 8.4 inch for 500 dollars that may fit your needs, but there's an extra three bills once you get the cover.

The fix for the sd card is the same dirty hack that Sumsung implements on their tablets so there will be no native difference there. Doing the adjustment is very easy. There is a thread about it on this forum, and others.

I wouldn't hesitate to get either device for your needs. Good luck!
