So what Settings i should choose for automode? Will do some more Tests...

My Setting was Auto Mode in totaly darkness with Flash.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
In order to check for flash bleed, you do not need to actually take a picture. Start the stock camera app and just switch the flash led to Flashlight (always on) from within the app; looking onto very dark scenes, you'll see the flash bleed right away on your screen. Depending on the scene, it'll show as a light blue'ish taint or even a full blue screen (where there shouldn't be anything but black). Eye-line the lens cut-out in the plastic back cover with permanent marker as described earlier in this thread and you should be good. If the marker comes of from cleaning or rubbing against your pocket insides, just do the same thing again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KEYVAN-GSM:
sorry for my bad english

but i think flash bleeding is not big issue on this small wonderfull cell phone .imaging from long objects in full darkness is rare scenario that may happen for every one and the most powerfull digital cameras are also cant take good pictures in that sitation.

furthermore my z1c build is 14w04 and i checked it in many situation from full darkness to light darkness and i think camera performing is well but in open enviroment at darkness of night if u preciusly watching u can see light of falsh in all corner of picture and i think this is from flash range liminition not hard ware failure.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JBT1:
I own a white one also. I use instead some white corrective tip (you know the one we where using when using a real pen to write on a paper!).

Because it is "paint", be carreful when doing it, but it don't hurt me when I look at my camera lens, I see it because I know I did it.

Another Flash Bleed Fix Option

Has anyone considered using taking pictures with their flashlight mode on, as opposed to using the flash function while doing so? Meaning, turn on your flashlight and take the picture using the "no-flash" function on the camera settings.

My friend did this and her picture did not suffer from flash bleed. She's using a pink Z1 Compact with its case on, build week 14W10.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] som3a14:
Thank you

I just wanna thank profyler for sharing with us this great tip. I picked up the phone 2 weeks ago not thinking that the flash bleed issue was that serious, but I was so wrong. My phone build week is 14W10 and the flash bleed was so bad. I don't know how Sony got away with this very bad manufacturing mistake. The phone should've never had a plastic back cover.

Anyway, I just couldn't live with the camera like this so I decided to give profyler's fix a try...and I'm glad I did. Though, like he said, the camera captures low quality photos in dark conditions anyways yet at least the flash bleed is fixed.

Tip: I used a uni-ball eye pen to paint the frame of the camera lens. I think this is a good option because the part you're supposed to paint is very very thin. Anyway, I still ended up painting a part of the chrome ring but it's not a big issue.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] amnher:
I am about to buy this phone next week, does the newer models of Z1c still have issues on flash bleed?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Iruwen:
You asked that in at least three threads now.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ra9na:
Yes!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
if you order one online than you cant know. if you go to a store you can check if the chrome ring is higher or equal to the plastic cover. if it so, than the ring is covering the bleed. its hard to explain here...but you can try.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] amnher:
thanks for the tip ill buy in stores... and Ill go check using that tip
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] amedeonofal:
software improvement?!

I heard from US (so i can't confirm for all versions) that the 4.4.4 is solving the flash bleed issues... is that possible?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
thats impossible. its a hardware fault and i dont think they've made a special algorithm change to fix this issue as i've explained before.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Hi All - Long time listener, first time caller.

I have a Verizon S4 and have been running stock root for a while now. I'm looking to install Carbon ROM. For some reason, when I try to flash it, I get the "Unauthorized Software" message that pops up after it completes and reboots. My only option is to boot back into TWRP and restore from backup. Everything that I've read says that it's because my bootloader isn't unlocked, but I can't figure out how to do it.

Is there something else I need to do? I'm on Ubuntu, so I can't really run the Windows things (unless Odin, for example, works through VIrtualbox? I haven't tried because there are general virtual USB issues that have soft bricked other devices I've had.)

I'm definitely on MDK (I froze the Samsung updater) and my initial effort to root was done on a friend's computer with Odin using these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290798.

Running through the forum, I've tried:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606501 (Followed the MDK links which go to below)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578569 (it just talks about rooting which I already have)

I'm sure there's a step somewhere that I've missed, but I can't see the forest through the trees. Anything obvious that I didn't do?

The only other things I can think of that could get me there:

1. Update to the latest firmware and then just give in and use safestrap (not ideal)

2. Could I re-flash to the pre-release kernel and then go directly to CarbonROM? Will I need to reflash to the release-version of MDK after?

Open to suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
The ROM may not have Loki support...if you are using the older twrp version it may not auto lokify the ROM...try updating your recovery and give it another go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I would recommend trying out Philz ( cwm ) recovery possibly. There have been random issues like yours reported and usually updating the recovery or just trying a different ROM all together gets better results.

You shouldn't need to go back to stock mdk for anything since you're already rooted and have a custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Thanks for the suggestions. I did update my recovery, but now that I think of it, I may not have tried to re-flash since upgrading. My preference is to not use CWM, but I will if I have to, I guess.

In either case, I'll try this all out when I get home from work and post back. Thanks for the suggestions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Let me suggest trying liquid smooth 4.4

Awesome ROM to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I would try their suggestions. For future reference though, you can use heimdall instead of Odin on Linux. I love it I think its better than odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Ok, so I updated TWRP to the latest and tried again. Got the same message as before about unauthorized software and in the upper left, it said something about "Fail: Kernal"

From there, I had a hard time getting back into recovery. It would either say it was booting into recovery and then shut off or it would freeze. I eventually got back in and am restoring now.

Thanks for the information on Heimdall - I wasn't aware of it. The reason I wanted to go with Carbon is that it has a built-in application to control/override application permissions. Does something like that exist for LiquidRom? Or is it compatible with PDroid or something similar? (I didn't see a mention of it in their features, but might have missed it)

One more thought: I am using the Carbon nightlies for KK. Maybe there's a problem with the source file (I've redownloaded 4 times)? Or maybe I'm just destined to be on stock forever. :crying:

Edit: I just tried putting Philz recovery on and now I can't get into recovery as that's now giving the same unauthorized software message.

Edit2: I was able to get TWRP on eventually by going into Odin mode and hitting "Cancel." Each normal reboot would then give the same unauthorized message, so I just went back to TWRP and it's booting normally again. Ah, yay to Verizon and their locked phones.

Ok, I've tried a few more times tonight with no luck, so I'll give it a break for now and look into it more tomorrow or over the weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
That's odd that flashing Philz didn't work for you. Its a pain I know but probably if you had wiped the phone with stock mdk then tried again it woukd have worked I bet. I had to do that with this phone when i got it. It came with twrp, but was acting real funny not always getting into recovery or just hanging up on reboot. But you have a working twrp so that's good too.

I don't believe liquid has the built in app permissions you're talking about but maybe I missed it. I don't really mess with permissions. Liquid has everything else though and then some!

I know some Roms were having problems with unified builds. I know liquid does not at this point. Maybe it'd be worth trying just so you're not on stock lol you may want to look into the Loki doki zip that you flash after flashing the ROM. I've seen some people on here using that when they were getting the same error you were. Just an idea.

Good luck man!

Try this things

Have you enabled USB - Debugging? (Menu > Setting > Application > Development > USB debugging > Turn it ON).

Probably afterwards you can install a driver.

For rooting use the Eroot application

[General Questions and Answers] Twotems:
Hi all,

The external speaker on my G5 doesn't work for notifications and media. Even the touch and lockscreen sounds don't work. But when I'm on my softphone dialling app I have audio through the external speaker. Everything works fine when the headset is connected though. I've rebooted countless times, pulled the battery and even did a factory reset all of which didn't make a difference. I've tried Mobile Uncle but don’t really know how to use all the features properly. I need help desperately because I really like this phone and don't want to go through the pain of returning it under warranty. It seems more of a software than a hardware problem or if it is hardware the only thing I can think is causing it may be a malfunction of the headphone jack (which I've only used twice). PLEASE HELP!

hey guys,

is the a possibility to turn off the green led blinking?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
Yes, put the phone into flight mode.

The top led blinking green indicates you have a signal on the network.

Steady orange - charging

Steady green - charge complete.

Bottom led: flashing green - active wifi

flashing blue - active bluetooth

There is one similar point:

---

If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events

---

but this is only for events and not for the green flashing, or isn't it?

[Motorola Droid 4] KrellaKrentoshi:
A month ago I ended a call with Verizon custotmer service only to find the touchscreen on my D4 had stopped working. There was no ghosting, no other problems I knew of at the time besides a speaker that wouldn't work. Rebooting didn't work. Factory reset didn't work. The only thing different was that the phone had recently upgraded to Jellybean. Now when the phone is rebooted the WiFi automatically comes on. I could still use it attached to the lap dock, or by using the keyboard to bypass the touchscreen. I switched to my backup phone and searched for answers.

I ended up getting a new-to-me D4 from eBay. I took the slider half of the phone with the screen and switched the whole thing to my D4. Phone

was fixed, seemed to be fine.

Today rooted my phone. All was well until I was playing a game, then again the touchscreen just stopped working. I am at an utter loss, what happened to the touchscreen? Neither one was dropped, both had screen protectors on and were in cases. I was using the phone at the time both times. The picture is clear, screen uncracked. I just can't get it to accept touch input anywhere on the screen. And the WiFi is turning on again when I restart the phone.

I have never seen this happen before on any other phone, I have heated the glass and pressed where the flex cable is in case of a loose connection, nothing happens. Removing the sim and SD cards didn't help either. Any suggestions or fixes? Will replacing the glass again fix it, or should I try a factory reset again? Stock ROM, rooted jellybean, using atrix lap dock to type this.

LG IMS (com.lge.ims)

Wondering if anybody knows what this service is and if it's safe to permanently freeze...? I've searched all the "bloat/de-bloat" lists, and found it listed by one user only (a Google search didn't provide much info on this process/service either).

I use "Greenify" and in the "Scheduled running" list of Greenify LG IMS (com.lge.ims) shows "runs" and "wakeups". It's not a huge offender when it comes wakeups, but if this is a non-essential service, then I'd be interested in freezing it permanently.

I noticed that when LG IMS is frozen the "Data/LTE" indicator in the status bar disappears when connected to Wi-Fi, and re-appears when Wi-Fi is turned off. Both connection types (Wi-Fi and LTE) seems to work just fine when LG IMS is frozen, but without knowing anything about this service, I'm hesitant to leave it frozen.

Any ideas what LG IMS (com.lge.ims) is/does?

Thanks! :)

I know this was from a while ago, but just got a G3 recently and com.lge.ims is constantly waking the device (something to the tune of 3.4 times a minute...)

Awesome thank you! Since we don't have a custom recovery to make a back-up yet and I already had to factory restore once from a build.prop edit that the phone did not like I've been trying to be cautious about freezing/removing stuff I was unsure of. Again thanks for the quick response!
