Go to nexus 5 camera>settings and change picture mode to 2meg 16:9 and then click a macro or a closeup with forced flash. Tell me what you get.

I get a white over exposed image.

Why does this happen?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
macro and a flash.. the flash lighting will over expose the photo from the light being too close. set the exposure to -1 or -2. generally for macro shots, i use a small led keychain flashlight instead of the flash. but -1 or -2 exposure should help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santoshrane:
Try it! And let me know what u get.. Don't do a macro. Just point n shoot in the dark. Its not only about macro shots. The mode 2meg 16:9 has a problem.

[General Questions and Answers] k2trf:
My device is a BLU Studio 5.0S (GSM Arena link in my sig for the exact phone, model D570a

My ROM is a modified variant of the stock from BLU, that I made myself

The SD card in question is a 8GB SDHC Class 4 card.

When I physically take the card out of the phone, put it in an SD adapter, and put it in my laptop (running Ubuntu 13.10 64bit), it is just fine, and I can read, write, execute, etc. with no problems whatsoever.

When I hook the phone up to the computer via USB, I can get into the phone's memory (1.4GB) just fine, but when I try to mount the 8GB SD card, I just get this message:

Error mounting /dev/sr1 at /media/k2trf/8GB C4: Command-line `mount -t "vfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush" "/dev/sr1" "/media/k2trf/8GB C4"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: block device /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr1: can't read superblock

The only difference betwen the arguments on the internal storage and the SD is the GID -- for the internal storage it is 1023 (which doesn't coorespond to anything), but for the 8GB SD card it is 1015 (which is sdcard_rw).

Mounting it shows GID 1000 (which would be the group id for my account, 'k2trf' on the computer.

That's the only difference between the two I can see on the device. Since there are both entries for /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 in my /dev/, I can safely assume that sr0 is the internal memory (which is working perfectly), and sr1 is the SD card (which seems to have a bad superblock?).

This confuses me, because physically putting the SD card in the laptop, it's completely fine, and there's no super block issues that I've been able to find, so I have to assume that it's the superblock controlling the sdcard in the phone that's bad (/dev/block/void/179:33) -- is there a way I can go about rewriting the superblock somehow for just that partition?

I've already tried doing it like I would on the laptop for other flash memory (using mke2fs and e2fsck), but I guess busybox doesn't include those commands (which would make a bit of sense, I can't imagine those are simple or small functions).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cakalusa:
I've been seeing mixed reports on battery life with keeping your wifi always on. Some say keeping it always on extended their battery life.

What do you have it set as? And how has it affected your battery life?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgt001:
I keep always on but it does the opposite :P
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlbertDude:
I always have WIFI and bluetooth on. Take it off the charger in the morning and battery is usually 70+% at end of day.

GPS off. cellular data off (i use a prepaid voice-only service).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neu - smurph:
Wifi Sleep Policy is 'Always On', but I use an automation app (MacroDroid) to actually enable/disable wifi when I'm in/out of range of trusted SSIDs (using CellID triggers).

With autosync on and locations services set to battery saving with wifi scanning when disabled off I get the following results.

Wifi enabled connected to SSID (3G data is on but Android automatically prefers Wifi) - standby drain circa 1% per hour.

Wifi disabled (as no trusted SSID in range), 3G data on - standby drain 1 to 4% per hour (depending on network strength)

On 3G data with Wifi enabled but not connected to a SSID - standby battery drain 2 to 6% per hour.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Sensamic:
I'm hearing some roms like Slimkat can really improve battery life (standby and in use).

I've been using stock since I got this tablet and now I'm wondering if I should try some customs roms.

Do they really improve battery life over stock? Or maybe just using a custom kernel like Franco with stock is enough? Or maybe a custom rom + custom kernel is the better combo for battery life?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidshadow:
yes and no....

For the Nexus 7 i wouldn't really worry about the Stock ROM draining your battery. There are apps like battery doctor or Greenify which can help you save your battery life, but these apps will require your tablet to be rooted.

The Neuxs 7 Stock ROM isn't a battery hog type of ROM so you will be fine sticking with the stock ROM. If you want to try out new ROM's, the Android Community has made great apps and programs for the Nexus 7. You can install TWRP recovery manager which is an advanced recovery manager and you can install MultiROM which will allow you to install Multiple ROMs onto your Nexus 7 without every touching or damaging your stock Nexus 7 ROM. You can test out new roms in MultiRom without damaging your tablet or affecting your stock ROM.

Now there are custom ROM's that are really great for battery life don't get me wrong. I have a SGS3 with CyanogenMod ROM installed and I have another SGS3 running stock Samsung ROM and the stock ROM is constantly using the majority of the phone's resources. I am constantly having to kill apps to drop the used resources from 80% to 55% usage. So on my SGS3 phone that runs the CyanogenMod ROM i am getting much better battery life than my stock SGS3 phone.

One great thing about a custom ROM is it gets rid of a lot of the bloatware that most people will never use that takes up a lot of resources on your Android device. However, you don't have to install a custom ROM to remove bloatware apps. If you root your Nexus tablet you can install Titanium Backup which can be used to freeze apps and remove stocks apps that couldn't be removed without root/titanium backup.

Again as far as your Nexus 7, you will be just fine sticking with your stock ROM. However, give MultiROM a try. If you root your tablet and install TWRP recovery manager (all can be done with the WuGFresh Nexus Root toolkit -> http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/) then you can install MultiRom with the push of a button. Just go to the Google Play store and download -> "MultiROM Manager" and run the app and it will install MultiROM fo you.

After you have multirom installed you can try as many custom roms as you want...

Hope it helps...

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
Just been testing the new SBH80 headset with the Z1C for a couple of days. Overall it's a nice bit of kit, lightweight and comfortable. The aptX support on the Z1C gives fantastic quality sound, the buds allow a good seal and isolate ambient noise well. The cable is very thin - not sure how long it will last, tbh - and the earphones are tiny, you hardly know they're in your ears. Connecting and pairing are super easy using NFC with the Z1C, and BT reception is good if not as strong as some others, like the MW600.

Otherwise I noted a few things if anyone's thinking of using them with the Z1 Compact:

- Each time the Walkman app is brought to the foreground while playing music, there is crackling and intereference for about 3-4 seconds. Seems to be related to the Throw option kicking in - setting to manual doesn't help.

- Notifications for text messages don't make the headset vibrate, as advertised; incoming calls do. There seems no way to control this behaviour in any case - no app like with SBH50, for instance.

- The manual states that battery level for the headset can be checked under Power Management > Accessories. No such option exists on the Z1C ... yet?

- aptX can't be disabled for increased battery life as with other Sony headsets.

The neck unit is bulkier than I expected, and the battery rating of 8 hours is less than it could have been given the size - the Jaybird Bluebuds X manage the same with all the electronics squeezed into just the earphones. Still, it's a decent performer and has a premium quality so worth a look I reckon.

[Link to Sony product page]
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] ByteFlinger:
If I may add my 5 cents here, I have been using mine with my Nexus 5 for about a month now and it works great. Sadly there is no Apt-X with the Nexus 5 but other than that it works well.

I found the back of the device (which goes behind your neck) to be comfortable enough to the point that sometimes I will check the back of my neck to see if it is still there as you get used to it very quickly.

Sadly as ghtop put it there is no vibration for any type of notification other than incoming calls (not even sound on the earphones for that matter which is a little annoying when listening to music since I'd like to know I am getting an SMS or something) and I haven't been able to find any way to see the battery level for the device in the phone.

I definitely recommend it though this is my first Bluetooth headset ever so I can't compare to other models in the same category.

Also on funny fact: It is stated in many websites that the device is splash proof however I cannot find any IP rating anywhere in the manual and it even says that you should not expose the device to humidity or water in the manual so I don't know where those sites got that information.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
Just to add a little upate: with the new Smart Connect version - 5.6.24.215 - a persistent notification when connected to the device shows the headset battery level and time remaining (including standby time), and also shows on the device info page in the Smart Connect app. Still no Power Management > Accessories tab on KitKat though.

The sound quaity really blows other BT devices out of the water :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] AseDance:
Sound interrupts...

Got the headset 3 day ago. Sound quality is good although I'm experiencing sound gaps every 2 minutes for about a second or less. It is annoying :(. Firstly I thought that it could be connected with the headset itself but I tried it with another cells and the gap never appeared. Now I think that it is connected with the Smartconnect app or Throw function... I turned of the the smartconnect and now testing it. Will report on result...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
I had the same problem yesterday while running, and it didn't occur before using the smartconnect apk (I hade it frozed), so I suppose your guess could be right. I will also try to disable it on todays run and see if it works properly again. In the mean time, give us your input. Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] maniaacos:
Is it comfortable to run with these?

Been thinking of buying Motorola S11 Flex HD headset but i would prefer Sony of course.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
[/COLOR]

Hello "maniaacos", mainly I bought this headset for sports purpose and, until now, I am quit satisfied. I find them very comfortable to run or for cycling, they are very light (although not as light as advertised, if I recall it, they have around 10 g more than advertised), I find they fit in the ear properly (in a one hour run I occasionally have to readjust them, but it's definitely not a deal breaker for me), the remote controls are very practical, and you can easily take them of the ear and let them hanged on your neck/chest. Finally, until now, I had no sweat problems with them, but, considering it as only past a week since I received them, I will have to wait a little longer to have a more accurate insight about this. Feel free to ask me more details.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] AseDance:
No result

Unfortunately my tests with frozen liveconnect app and throw function turned off failed. I still experience music interruptions. Moreover if I stream music through other devices and my z1 compact is connected to the headset via multipoint interruptions appear as well. Now I think it can be connected with the bluetooth driver itself as it was reworked to support LE (low energy protocol). Hopefully we will find the solution. I sent a query to sony support. Will get back when they respond.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
Hello, like you, at this time, I didn't come to any conclusion. So, I am still trying to understand why some times I experience those symptoms and why they are not present in other ocasions. :-/ Let's stay in contact in order to try figure this out...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
Hello "AseDance", have you been using the headset with the Wi-Fi on? If so, try to turn it of and see if the music interruptions continue. In my last two runs, I turned of the wi-fi and everything worked ok. It's maybe just a coincidence, tomorrow I will try it again with the wi-fi on. Note that, in my office, with a strong wi-fi connection everything works like a charm, because of that, I suspect that while running outdoor, maybe when the phone tries to connect with diferent wireless points it messes up the Bluetooth connection... :-/
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] AseDance:
Infortunately Wi-Fi doesn't play any role in music hiccups. I usually turn off WI-Fi when I go out the office but interriptions are still there...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
Ok then! Are you still waiting for Sony's feedback?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] AseDance:
They asked me about the app that use for music streaming. I usually use poweramp. Now I'm trying built-in walkman player. Looks like that was the reason. Anyway I will wait for the support to respond...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
Hummm, I don't think the problem is only due to the music player used, because, in my z ultra I use exclusively the sony walkman player. So, as you say, we will have to wait from some kind of support answer. Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] AseDance:
Yep. You were right. I tried it with walkman and hiccups appeared as well. Less but still. This dives me crazy. I have to use Sony headset with my old Blackberry instead of my SONY Z1 compact.:crying:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
So, what you are saying is that when using the headset with other devices than your Z1, everything works like a charm, correct? I still am trying to make sense of this, because it doens't always happen, for example, yesterday in the beginning of my workout I had that annoying issue, then, I killed all apks that I had running on the phone and from that moment on everything was ok... Another coincindence?!? Maybe...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] AseDance:
I freezed all the bloatware, installed running app cleaner and guess what? It almost helped. The key word is ALMOST. Anyway It's better than nothing. Sony support asked me to reset the headset (put it on a charge, then press and hold the phone button till it vibrates). I did it but will test it a little later as I'm in office now. You can try. Maybe the problem was with the very first connection. I personally believe that it's all about the radio and it's firmware. I found a forum were a man indicates the same problem with z1. His says that it started with the 4.3 update. As soon as he downgrades to 4.2 everything is OK. You can find it in the comments:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/02/24/new-firmware-14-2-a-1-144-certified-for-the-xperia-z1-and-xperia-z1-compact/
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
Hello again! :) What do you mean by "...then press and hold the phone button till it vibrates", is it possible that what you wanted to say was "then press and hold the headset power button till it vibrates"? :-/ Then again, how do we reset the headset? Unpairing it from the phone? Tell me how it went for you... Here, in Portugal, after contacting the service center, they simply told me to send the headset to a service center, very helpfull! he he he Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] ghtop:
From the online User Guide:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Coolpsi:
I get it, I think my brain stopped working for a few seconds! ;) Of course the headset has a "call" button, somehow, I was just thinking about the button on the "neck band". Cheers!
