Now that we have kitkat, how well the Gear works with our phone?
[G2 Accessories] CB620:
The gear worked with it before kit kat.
[G2 Accessories] farhanito:
It does?

I thought the gear manager needs at least 4.3

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] patamou:
I have a Qtek 2020. I've tried to do an upgrade through usb but apparently it didn't work. It started as planned but I waited several hours and it didn't finish. I didn't get any error message. Now I only have the bootloader,and I'm not even sure it is complete because some bootloader_commands aren't working (ie: s2d -> Invalid command).

What can I do to recover my device? And how can I bypass the "Not allow operation!" error.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cldwar:
I rooted My one by reading a tutorial on this fourm. I got root access for sometime but later when I tried to factory reset the phone. It restarts and reset doesn't happen. clock work recovery option is installed and available. How do I restore back to everything normal? I have also relocked the boot loader. I want to have the original recovery back so that I can reset the device.

Thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cldwar:
How to get that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
So why did you re-locked bootloader? You need bootloader unlocked to flash recovery.... :rolleyes:

to post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' :

boot your phone in bootloader mode

select ''fastboot''

plug usb cable to computer

open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder

type ''fastboot getvar all''

don't post your IMEI and s/n

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bignibb:
This is the deal. I rooted my note 3 and was not able to receive OTA's like everyone else because my device had a "custom" status. Well I used Wanam xposed and changed my status from custom to Official and now I see there is a 530mb download and it starts downloading it but I cancel it because I don't know if it's safe to take the OTA. I have my phone set up with all the features I wanted like hotspot, missing data, and airplane toggle and don't wanna mess that up or brick my phone.

What do you guys think about my situation? I'm on a stock rooted MJ4 rom tweaked as I said above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jonathanhtc:
The best thing you can do is put the device back to stock or flash the 4.4 rom from Sprint via odin. In the general forum you can find the rom, instructions and steps to do it safely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
Normal practice is never to take a Ota while being rooted, it's best to Odin as recommended above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkGrey:
Or install a custom kitkat rom, never ota as root!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Many good answers here, all appropriate.

Your update is not taking because even though Wanam can fake your status to official, your phone's rooted status (assuming you didn't use a Knox safe rooting method) is preventing the update from sticking. Samsung syscope is looking for signed binaries that are official, and thus you're hosed as far as the OTA update is concerned.

But you have many options, the easiest of which start with grabbing one of the tar (freeza) or one-click packages (Rwilco12) from the dev forum, installing from your computer, then adding recovery, rooting, open bootloader if you wish, and then staying put or forging ahead.

There are already a few good roms that are live, and some mods you can flash, if you are so inclined.

Good luck!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bignibb:
I don't know if it will stick or not. I cancel the download before it ever finishes. Before the Wanam it said I couldn't because the status said custom but now it says official it recognized there is an update available.

I am happy with my note as is but that may be because I don't fully understand what 4.4 kit kat has to offer over 4.3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MrWicked1:
There is some misc improvements and a few little new things. But if you are happy with the way it is you can long press on the notification in your notification bar and it will bring up "app info" click that then uncheck allow notifications....hit ok then back out and it will hide the notification for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kendonsh:
Waiting for the kitkat update is driving me nuts.

Quick question, does that fact that Samsung released the open source for kitkat already for our phones mean anything?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
To be honest, the camera isn't bad in the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. When set to iso 100, focus mode to multi auto focus and metering to average, you can get some pretty decent pictures should you be able to hold the phone ultra still even when dark.

Rules to this thread. No editing or enhancing photos, cropping only if you must. This is to compare and see how good the photos can look. Please resize images to around 1024X768 otherwise the images will be too big for some and will save people having to scroll left and right to see them.

We may not have the best camera in the Z Ultra but when looking at these, it's not at all bad. All shots taken in slightly poor lighting and using the above settings:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] djyoshii:
Might get a bit more feedback here ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:

However, this thread is about posting your BEST pictures, not just any picture.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] corrado85:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
^ Lol, well I do own a DSLR camera and have been into photography for years. I just manually changed some settings, held the phone ultra still and took the photos. Luckily the hamster remained still and posed for the pictures. :)

The blasted hamster has escaped as always. I still cannot find it since it likes hiding under the cupboards in the kitchen, dam thing.

It's escaped countless of times. Hard part is finding the animal. I've named it escape artist since whatever I try and do it escapes. :laugh:

Will shortly add some more pictures.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] The ILM:
Could you share settings you often use for macro, daylight, portrait and indoor? (ISO, de-noise, focus type...) Do you use default ZU camera app?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Yes, I use the default Z Ultra camera.

Settings for all photos are as follows:

7M resolution

Focus mode to multi auto focus

White balance to WB Auto

ISO to 100

Metering to average

Image stabiliser off

What app did you use to set that options? Now i'm using the google app, that is better than the sony app, but i think it could be better.

And same question for LordManhattan, what app did you use for your last pictures?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] HerbalRemedies:
manual, iso 100, average metering, wb-cloudy

Took these with the stock Sony app. With sufficient lighting this camera isn't half bad. Low light on the other hand is an entirely different matter.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
One thing I noticed with the Google Camera is that the thing you're seeing in the viewfinder and the picture it takes right after you've pressed the button is not even close to being the one you get. It'll be much better in reality, so don't judge the photos you take with it until you're under normal, shaded, light before you choose to do anything with them.

Looks like the Ultra takes some OK photos as long as we don't zoom in or start looking for errors, so it's pretty much an OK camera for social networks, but not for printing.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] n1njaG:
Don't think any phone camera is suited for that kind of job (printing out pictures you took). And everyone probably has some sort of a camera laying somewhere in their house that they could use to take pictures to print out later.

But on the other hand you have your phone with you most of the time.

Sometimes it is not quiet and peaceful. At times you can hear ? racing about three miles away ,other times you can here ? fire.

I'm more of an urban person, one that needs the necessities close by, but where one can go to museums, theatre or movies if one chooses to. If I want nature, one can more than enough strolling through Central Park .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Ah ok, nice to know. It's a shame you have to put up with racers and gunshots.

I've only once ever heard a live gunshot at close range when visiting Egypt several years back...

It was FUKCING LOUD. Reminds me of a loud firework only worse.

What I really hate is cars honking late at night when you're trying to sleep...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
The racing ? is seasonal, gun fire is more frequent .Generally ,it is quiet, but I have sensitive hearing, things I hear others do not .
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
A few more taken earlier today.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
^ Looks chilly frothe3. What is the current temperature there?

It's around -1 at night in the UK, not too bad. No snow locally though there has been some further out. Just windy and cold at the moment. :D

I'm like you in a way being a very sensitive/light sleeper. The smallest sound would cause me not to sleep or wake up when fallen asleep. This is why I always sleep whilst the fan is turned on, it helps block exterior noise...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kanej2006:
Very nice Frothe3. What are your opinions based on the DSC-QX10 camera attachment?

It is fairly expensive, however, does the extra expense justify the price tag? Would you say the images produced are better than those produced by the Samsung Galaxy S6 or Note 4, for example?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] frothe3:
I got a great price on eBay, $138 US. I think the photos that come out are really, really good. I have yet to check it out on my notebook ? computer ? , since I don't have my regular ? back (long story ). However, if you can find a great deal , go for it.

Picture on here is 16:3 aspect ratio for 13 MP; I don't need megapixels, but photos that can be made into larger prints (like 4x6 prints and the like). Plus, I have the SPA-ACX3 lens attachment for the QX-10, snaps on the back of XZU, and QX-10 locks ? into place, turning your phablet into a digital camera ? .

Hi all ,

With the recent developments , we know that , Sony is already ignoring our device as it is releasing updates to other devices of same range and not ours. Plus this device is not available in the US , which makes it even more doubtful if we will get an update. Since the boot loader is locked , we cannot depend on Devs here to get the update for us as well ,

Do u ppl think its a good idea to sell this phone ? , when i approached a shop to sell it , he informed that he will give me only 13k for this phone , given the falling re-sale value , is it a good idea to sell it and buy a Moto G ?

How do you guys rate moto G compared to our xperia C ?
