As i've previously stated in another thread I saw the Z2 a good while ago, way before it was announced.

The screen is more vibrant and way clearer.

Dual speakers

Extra GB of RAM

Double tap to wake

Better build quality

4K (rolls eyes)

Screen is slightly bigger.

Nothing really to write home about.

If they'd have given us a 32GB internal memory as standard then that could sway me, but as it stands there just isn't enough to merit another £550 going out of my bank account for a phone which is so similar you really have to look to tell the difference, not to mention that the vast majority of differences are software, including the 4K recording afaik.

Development is going to be shocking for that device.

Given the choice at this point in time I would snap up the M8 in a heartbeat and would never look back.
[Xperia Z1 General] LJE:
I was thinking about the m8, but the duel camera looked a bit gimmicky. Plus 4 ultra pixels? Hmm

It's supposed to be good in low light, but a bit ordinary in good light.

It was a tough call between the M8 and note 3. Hopefully I made the right choice.
[Xperia Z1 General] jonmorris:
A shameless plug of my own blog; http://jmcomms.com/2014/03/30/htc-one-m8-camera-images-part-two-the-model-village/ shows that the One M8 camera is quite good in good light, and especially close up - but the lack of pixels also shows on landscape shots, and the exposure can also be a bit off too.

One good thing is the speed of which you can focus and shoot, but the Z1 isn't slow if you repeatedly press the on-screen shutter, or use one of the burst modes etc.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Yea the camera is most likely the thing that will put most people off but saying that what exactly do you do with your pics? So long as they can tell a tale of what happened at that given moment then for most people they should be happy with it.

I didn't actually mind the 4UP camera on the original one, Zoe was a massive bonus too.

In all fairness at this stage in androids journey it's win win for the consumer anyway as they're all power houses and will have pro's and con's for each, it's your choice to decide what you'd prefer over the other.
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Still too low anyway for the kind of device or flagship, also they should put a higher battery on m8, with that specs still low too even if 40% more than m7, ok, that m7 only.
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Yea the battery on the One wasn't great but it was such a great phone :) I don't know about the camera, i'm anxious to see what this dual lens can offer, it's an interesting concept, it'll be a pain to port to the likes of AOSP based roms and the like, same thing happened with the EVO 3D (one of my more unfortunate phones)

The max has incredible battery life, i'm hoping that the New One has something similar.

The Z2's battery life according to my mate who's lived with it for a good while (over a month) says that its brilliant.
[Xperia Z1 General] 0000alex0000:
actually if you switch on bravia engine or x-reality, the stuff you see will be much more oversaturated than oled

so i always call x-reality as x-fake. just glad that i can turn that garbage off ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] finoqq84:
The Z2 Still uses TFT screen!!

Just my Z2 today and ran Antutu, i was shock when seeing the Device specs displayed.. It show the screen material used by the Z2 is TFT !!! Not IPS.. Even the screen dpi is wrong too... Is it that the antutu is not competible yet? Or Sony uses TFT screen on Z2 again?? Even the Z ultra displays material used: IPS...

[Xperia Z1 General] nikola1970:
Lol bro, every IPS screen is TFT, you should get informed first and then talk. Please. :)

Is anything wrong with the display? You are not satisfied? What's wrong?

Z2 is IPS screen and enjoy it. ;)

Hi guys, I want to know if it is there a possibility to use volume rocker to wake the device..my power button is dying, now I'm on latest CM11 by TonyP, I tried everything, also Xposed with Xposed Additions but nothing works..any idea?

[LG Optimus 2x] marcof93:
Yes, I tried them, most apps on google play are no more supported or are draining battery a lot..I think a mod would be better
[LG Optimus 2x] SU#:
Most CM roms have a setting for this. Look into "settings>buttons" or something similar.

May you live long and strong, so my memory lives on...
[LG Optimus 2x] CononCon:
Come on. Is Gravitybox working? Are you sure you've downloaded KK version?
[LG Optimus 2x] torstenconrad:
it needs kernel support, otherwise it wont work. we dont have support for it by pengus. so it wont work when phone goes to sleep which is usually 5 secs after turning screen off. so the setting in cm is useless for us because no kernel support
[LG Optimus 2x] marcof93:
Nothing is working, I already tried Gravitybox and in setting/buttons but nothing..so we need kernel support?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IE-coRe:
I hope I understood it right that HTC is now allowing anyone to create BlinkFeed Extentions. Would it be possible to create one that adds Google now cards to it? Then the best of AOSP (GEL) and Sense would be combined. ;)

The battery died on my Wizard. It kept beeping at me telling me that it was going low and then finally it powered itself off. Now, it won't even take a charge. (I plug the charger in and it doesn't even light up.)

Cingular is sending me a new 8125, but I was wondering if there was a way to get this one working before Monday so I can get some data off of it.

I'm sure I probably need a stronger charger, as I've heard that the 1A charger that comes with the Wizard sometimes will correct this issue. (I bought my 8125 off of eBay and the guy only sent some aftermarket travel charger for a V3.)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] faria:
how about borowing a charged baterie from a friend or even the from aCingular store.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] IgwanaRob:
You need the original charger to charge the battery when it gets dangerously low. If the battery completely died, you most likely damaged it anyway (it's a lithium battery, and should never be allowed to drain all the way). When the new one comes, try the new battery in the old unit.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dalamario:
You have to charge it with the original charger, if you don't have or you still have problems you can see here what i do to charge the battery:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DonnieZ:
Interesting.. I'm going to try that in the morning.

Normally it's plugged in most of the time in the car cradle. I had been using it for navigation all day on Friday and I was in and out of the car all around the city so I guess I forgot to plug it in most of the time. (I had my BT GPS plugged in instead.)

Hope that works!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DonnieZ:
That worked!

It was kind of "ghetto" but cutting apart an old USB cable. holding the red/black wires to the +/- terminals on the battery respectively for about 3 minutes jolted it back to life! That was just enough to get enough juice to load Windows, to seemingly activate the charging circuit.

Wonder what I should do.. Take the warranty 8125 or send it back saying I got mine working. Reloading will be a pain though, so I might just keep this one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RomanHelmet:
Anyone else have issues getting gps lock? It will take me several minutes with a clear view of the sky sometimes. If I'm sitting in the back seat of a car I often have to press my phone right up to the window to get a good enough view of the sky and it will lose lock if I take it away from the window.

Also, the compass is all over the place and makes things like gaps walking directions almost useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CravingMender9:
Are youon kitkat? If so, Pls check the 4.4.2 update thread in the general forum where we have a new stock image with fixed gps and battery. See if it applies to your case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sardonik:
I've noticed the wonky compass. It will vary wildly without any rotation of the phone and, in one orienration, will flip back and forth by 180 degrees very quickly. Thought about warrantying the device, but everything else (including GPS) is solid.

I'm on 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I have to calibrate the compass occasionally but it works fine for me. GPS normally licks in 10secs or so, but I keep GPS on all the time. It only uses power when you are using an app that uses it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xgp0006:
ive had a compass gps issue for a good while. thought it was the rom, then thought it could have been the case....but im thinking its just happening because i get same performance from jedi's 4.4 release....so not sure what the deal is but same issues....they gave me a gps fix that tends to kinda work.....but its not tracking fluidly and the compass just isnt staying calibrated for very long...its always looking in a different direction.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingofkings11:
Download and install topNTP from the play store give it root access click install at the bottom select create files and reboot.

I use this app after every rom I flash and it gives me a gps lock in literally a couple of seconds even indoors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siskiou:
My Note 3 doesn't lock on to GPS inside my house at all. Outside, it seems okay, most of the time.

My old HTC Dinc2 locks on without any trouble, inside or out. Not sure if I should do an exchange, since everything else works just fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AntonGut:
Hi everyone,

disappointed with altitude readings in GPS tracking software on my SGS2 I9100, I got an idea to implant a pressure sensor into it. Not that I can't live without it, it's more like a hacking exercise for fun. Anyways, let me explain the idea.

Few newer devices have pressure sensor built in. I.e. SGS3 uses LPS331AP from ST (mentioned in kernel sources and on some websites). It's well documented and is available to buy. Hooking it up (space challenges aside) would be pretty straightforward. I am certain i can find supply and SDA/SCL lines to connect to. However, I cannot hook up interrupt to main processor, and there is probably nothing to be done about it. OK, let's imagine I succeed in soldering, don't screw up the whole mainboard, and have a sensor attached.

Now, I'd need a custom ROM, or at least kernel aware of my new sensor. If all the wiring would be standard (including interrupt), I could just copy relevant parts from sources for SGS3, compile it, and expect it to work. Or something along the lines.

So, here is a question: can I communicate to pressure sensor without interrupt connected? Sensor itself supports it, but does android? With reasonable amount of hacking, of course.

I did quick search in kernel sources for SGS3, and I see it expects an interrupt input from lps331 during some init routines. However, I cannot figure out yet whether it always needs it, or can it live without somehow. I will go on reading sources. In particular, I'll look how exactly does HAL interacts with the sensor.

In the meantime, maybe someone more knowledgeable has some advice? I have very vague idea about linux kernel working, and never before looked into one for smartphone. I can read the sources, but my programming experience is limited. So, any tips are appreciated. Especially if you think it's hopeless :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
I just got an I there s4 from tmobile because my charger port was loose. The new s4 is on mk2 modem and 4.3 bootloader. If I hit update software in the settings I get 'your phone is modified and cannot get updates' . I haven't even installed a single app yet. Should I return this one too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
It's a refurbished phone that the factory didn't wipe properly. It had been rooted and the factory just did a full wipe. (Someone got lazy)

If it's on 4.3 it's probably got the Knox bootloader, meaning you can't just Odin it back to stock and make it like nothing happened. You can check this by booting into download mode (power and volume down) and seeing if it says it in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

Personally though, since you just got the phone and it's clearly not been properly refurbished, I'd send it back. Even if you can fix the software issue there is obviously something wrong with it because someone has already sent it back and you know it wasn't properly refurbished. So you might run into another problem later.

I'd tell T Mobile to send you a new one, and make it clear that you're not going to pay the $20 for shipping since they sent you a broken phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
Thanks man, took your advice and they are sending another free of charge. I never knew they sent refurb phones back if your new one breaks. Always thought they sent brand new phones. I guess that's why they only send the phone with no battery or back cover.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Yup. And you're going to get another refurb too to replace that last one.

The easy was to tell is the label under the battery. If it's a new phone the label looks like this...

If it's a refurbished phone the label is different. It's a little thinner as I recall. (Sorry, I couldnt' find a picture of one.)

The refurb facility is not the manufacturing plant so they have slightly different stickers.

Usually the refurbs are fine. I wouldn't worry about getting the next one. I had a refurbed S4 for a while and it was better than the new one I had originally. (It didn't survive being dropped onto the granite sink in my bathroom, then subsequently the tile floor. But it was better before that!)

You just got a bad one from a lazy worker at the refurb place who didn't do a thorough job. As soon as you get the new one though test it thoroughly. Make sure every system works. Bluetooth, GPS, LTE, GSM, every spot on teh touchscreen, etc etc etc

Hey guys is there a way to add a little bit of extra bass when using the stock music player with beats enabled?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkat88:
Hi guys,

what do you think about compatibility between batteries of the M8 and M7?? I saw iFixit teardown of the new HTC flagship and they seem to have the same dimensions.

Do you think it will be possible to do as it was with One X and X+ battery?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
The m7 is almost impossible to properly disassemble and reassemble without the special tools from HTC.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkat88:
Yes i know it, but i have an HTC One with the broken display and housing cover and i'll replace all them and the battery in the coming months (I have skills in this), so I thought it would be great if it is possible change the battery with the m8 one.

Anyway, thanks for the answer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
The m8 is not the same physical size as the m7. Seems like a silly assumption to think the m8 would use the same size battery as the m7?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkat88:
Sure it is, but mine it wasn't an assumption but just a question...a question based on the view of the batteries from the site of iFixit, they seem similar despite the larger size of the M8.

Anyway don't worry, I'll find out from me.

[Java for Android App Development] pappous12:
Hello everyone. I want to make a splash screen for my game. I need the image to fit the screen's width but I want the height to be larger than the screen's. Than, I will have an animation moving the image vertically, hiding the top part and showing the bottom one.

I have searched a lot and I am more puzzled now on how I should do this.

Firstly the only solution I found for the fitting part was a combination of java and xml. But the problem here is that the java class doesn't produce a bigger than the screen image, but a cropped image. So, I can't make the animation later on.

Than i figured out that I could use a scrollview. And after combining some solutions I found on the web, I managed to have the right dimensions for my image and avoid any cropping. But now I can't do the animation because I am using the "fromYDelta ... toYDelta" and I can't find a way to calculate how much to put in the "toYDelta" value. And it cannot be a fixed value because every screen is different and so the dimensions of my splash screen.

Can anyone tell me a way to do this? Should I do it only in java and don't use xml at all? Or is it possible to do this through xml only (which would be better I think)?

Hi thee,

Someone can help me out on this?

I used DN3 v3 for a while and was very happy with it. Now I wanted to install latest version on my n7100, but I get an sd card error everytime. For all other matters, the sd card works perfect without any issues, only when trying to install this rom.

Any ideas about this?

TIA,

Rudy

UPDATE:

Failed again, I notice a message saying "Excpecting 5 args got only 3"

No idea what that could mean.

Someone...?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruvasky:
sd card related or not...?

Would you think that could solve the problem? As I see the error message ("Excpecting 5 args got only 3") I would think the problem is not realy related to the sd card itself, or am I seeing this wrong?

If this fix could solve it I can give it another try, but after about 10 times I 'm a bit fed up reinstalling everything when it goes wrong again... :rolleyes:

I've written a tutorial showing in easy steps how to write a Flappy Bird Clone using Basic4Android and the LibGDX engine.

Check it out here:

http://www.easyandroidcoding.com

I also keep a programming blog here:

http://www.coffeeinducedgames.co.uk

I just wanted to post a short update to this post:

I've also uploaded source code for a matching game using LibGDX and Basic4Android, it's called Orchard Crush and it's on the play store:

Get the source code here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8673694/OrchardCrush_public.zip

See the game here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.coffeeinducedgames.orchardcrush

Basic4Android for those who don't know it, is a Visual Basic inspired language for writing appps for Android. It compiles to Java before using the ADK to compile to Android bytecode so your appps run at the same speed as if you'd written them directly in Java using Eclipse, except it's MUCH easier to learn and use to write apps.

It does cost money to buy B4A but you can claim a 30% discount if you purchase it through the www.easyandroidcoding.com site and use the voucher code: andymcadam

Just out of interest, has anyone purchased B4A as a result of my posting and tutorial series? I'm very interested to din out what pushes people to part with money to buy software. I understand many people will look at this and say "why buy that when I can just use Eclipse for free" but it makes things easier and people will pay for that benefit.
