[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
Sorry your having trouble with taking nice pictures. I have absolutely NO problems what so ever, in any mode. Today I took bunches of pictures in different modes, with different settings of my lil cousins finding eggs. I don't think I've ever gotten so many comments on picture quality before.

Some things you can try:

-Open application settings and clear the camera app data and cache. This will reset all the settings to their default.

-Try a different memory card. Or try using internal storage. If you have a low quality memory card it might pose a problem. I have a 64gb samsung evo card with no problems what so ever.

-Last resort is to perform a factory data reset. It will reset your entire phone to default. Yes it's a pain to re-setup your phone again how you like it. But may fix your issues.

Hopefully one of those theories will get you taking beautiful pictures again.

I wiped the camera, camera test, and gallery data. After restoring my settings it seems to be on par with my Galaxy Nexus now. Thanks for the help!

Is it just me, or does anyone else think the name "smart stabilization" is misleading? It doesn't seem to do squat for image stabilization.

Guys has anyone been able to copy all their info msgs, chat apps etc from an S3 to the M8?

The HTC Tool keeps connecting, dropping, connecting, dropping in a continuous loop like that, it never stays connected long enough to send any data to the new M8?

Is there a better app to do this instead?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hija31:
I did but they were mostly HTC phones: OneS > OneX > One M7 > One M8, and all went fine.

Install HTC tool to your S3 and work from there maybe will work.

Or in : settings > get content from another phone, select All other phones . In this case will work over bluetooth connection, but I think it'll work only for contacts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Is there a way to dynamically load/use a custom recovery on an Andoid phone (generally, any phone) without actually having to overwrite the phone's stock recovery? For example, by booting to stock recovery, flashing a zip file that will start up CWM/TWRP so you can use it temporarily, but stock recovery is still there and when you reboot the phone it will still be there? Sort of like using a Linux live cd.

Because I figure someone will probably ask, I'm asking about this because I have a phone that I want to get into that is protected by a pattern lock. I haven't examined it yet, but I am strongly expecting:

- No root

- No custom recovery

- No ADB debugging enabled

I know I can bypass the pattern lock from CWM/TWRP (rm /data/system/gesture.key)...but I would prefer to not have to do an overwrite of the recovery partition if it can be avoided. And whether or not this ends up being needed for this phone, it will be good to know for future reference.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Only recoveries like that are along the lines of SafeStrap, but is device specific and you already have to be rooted and booted into the OS to install that one. So, for what you need, no.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Actually, after randomly stumbling across some articles tonight...it appears that you can. At least on some phones, some of the time, with "fastboot boot recovery.img."

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2597788
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Ah. I didn't think of that because usually you have to unlock the bootloader to do that, which on most phones also wipe them, void the warranty, and often leave some kind of marker that would be obvious. But it depends on the phone still. And it's not uncommon for those things to be disabled on updates too. Also, Samsungs don't have fastboot at all, so that wouldn't be an option for any of them.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1r0k:
Hello,

I upgraded to kitkat when the official kitkat came out for s4 i9505. Updated via Kies, worked great. Decided to factory reset the other day and since I have three issues:

1. whatsapp cant download images "download failed" THe download was unable to complete. please try again later

2. Evernote says database read/write error ( plus another long message ) after signing in

3. Swiftkey cannot download and install languages

I fully wiped the rom from my phone and reinstalled via sammobile and rooted, still the same issue

I did read that there were differences with kitkat and sd cards, but these are mainstream apps, so that should nt affect it should it?

I did try some kitkat sd card fix but did not work

I am on the latest BTU rom for international i9505 S4

I need help getting out of a bootloop that I got stuck in trying to change ROMs today to ViperOne 6.1.0 because I was on an abandoned and unupdated ROM, anyway when I flashed it at the very end I got error 7 and accidentally just clicked the reboot button on CWM. Anyway, now I'm in a bootloop and it tries to reboot into recovery first and briefly the CWM logo appears then it goes black and goes to the regular rebooting screen and so on. My laptop is also having a problem recognizing my phone though which I feel is really complicating things so trying to do bootloop fixes in ADB is tough for now and I am really confused and could use a little guidance here.

[General Accessories] HenrySacto:
Hi all,

I bought my XDA O2 from South East Asia about 4 months ago. I love the phone from the start. However, recently the speaker phone stopped working. The last thing that I remember is that I tried to plug in a headset to test it. I didn't notice the problem with the speaker phone until the next day. I read some messages posted on the forum suggesting that I play a music and try to plug the headset and pull it out right away...I tried that and it didn't solve the problem. My phone still works fine except the "Speaker Phone". I can hear the sound when I plug in the headset. I also tried taking everything out and inspect the connection between the speaker to the board. Evereything seems to be connected nice and firm. What else can I do to get my speaker phone to work again? Do I need to upgrade the ROM? Getting this phone to be serviced by the shop that I purchased it from is impossible.

Any assistance is greatly apprecated!

Thanks,

Henry

Hi all, I have xbmc installed on my FTV, When I go to system/ audio settings or video settings, I don't have the option to change the audio output setting, say for example to HDMI, it just says android audio track and is grayed out. Also in the video settings, it is set to windowed with 1920x1080, with no option to change, as this is grayed out also. Is this the way it is supposed to be or should I be able to change these settings? I am running the most recent nightly build of gotham. Thanks

Change from basic settings to expert settings at the bottom. Then go back to audio output. Set the number of channels, DTS, DD, and passthrough. That is all you need to set. The HDMI setting was removed for some reason.

[General Questions and Answers] wirelessguyNY:
I was wondering if someone could help me or point me in the right direction to avoid bricking my phone somehow.

First off, a bit of confirmation for anyone else out there... I have successfully moved my Verizon Galaxy S3 to Walmart Family mobile. Currently trying to (safely) rid myself of annoyances.

Bought a new device via ebay with clean ESN for Verizon (I'm unsure if it's still locked to Verizon network, see below for details)

None of the suggestions like *#1973 ... worked as my phone was on a 4.0.1 release (or so I think) I don't see any websites that would offer and unlock code and I read somewhere that the manual unlock needed something like 4.1.x or higher.

I used Odin to upgrade my device to 4.1.1 (Still couldn't find any unlocking info but..

Inserting my Family Mobile SIM card actually

works

(for calls and SMS) but the device still complains that it has a non-valid sim for Verizon. Going in to the Apps menu and killing the Setup Wizard 1.0 removes that message until the next reboot.

Optimally, I'd like to upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.3 but have a few concerns.

Will an update rid me of the Verizon sim check? or is the sim checking piece not in the ROM but actually inside the bootloader itself?

I'm not highly technical (but dangerous enough I suppose).

When all is said and done I'm looking to have a 4.3 device with a Family Mobile APN that works (so far I don't believe that's occurred. Device is nice under wifi and says that cellular data is 'active' but I don't think it's working since I can't hit websites in cellular only mode.

Any suggestions for getting my device to a happy place without rooting it would be appreciated.

Thanks.
