Scratched camera lens, photo quality

My S5 camera quality has dropped significantly lately. The photos have become quite grainy, especially in mid and low light. I compared it to friend's S5 and you can see the difference right on the screen even without taking a photo. My camera lens is with scratches, friend's not. Can it be the reason ? If so, is it possible to get the scratches out somehow ? I have seen videos of scratch repair for HTC One M8 (http://youtu.be/xhhOcIRMfWc ). Can it work on S5 ? Any advice, any solution ?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] ctenorman:
Hi All,

I'm strongly considering getting good the very nice 8.4 tablet. However, I'm a little concerned about the state of its development, as the only active project based on touchwiz is shut down.

I'm happy to love off stock provided I can always root it, but I'm concerned about not being able to get future updates and keeping root. As a result I have two questions.

1. Is there always some method to root this device as it gets updated even if development doesn't become active? Will existing root methods work on future updates?

2. Is it likely that touchwiz based development will pickup? Are there projects I'm missing? I'm quite attached to multi window and would like it in any future Rom.

Thanks!

I love technologies. And now, I want to develop skills in UI design of mobile applications. On the one hand, I want to contribute to the community. On the other hand, I want to add more some in my portfolio. So i am looking for programmers that can help me. If you have some good ideas for some mobile apps or you want to redesign your apps but don't believe in your design skill, i will be help for free.

If you care, contact me! My email is tungnguyenart@gmail.com or my Skype is tungnguyenart

Hi all, I have not touched my S4 (i9505) for a while and still running stock rooted 4.2.2 with (wanam) Adam kernel 1.6

Now I want to flash stock 4.4.2, can I use mobile Odin? Will my phone be REGION LOCKED ? I don't care about Knox. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
anyone ???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
If you say untouched, means not rooted? Mobile ODIN needs root access.

And some part will NOT be flashed by mobile ODIN, you have to do with PC
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
I meant I have not messed with it for a few months. It's rooted and running stock 4.2.2 with adam kernel 1.6
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
Hmmmm, for stock firmware I don't think so, mobile ODIN will flash, but some of part like bootloader it won't flash. And I am not sure if it's working on 4.2 bootloader.

Personal suggestion is that you flash recovery and then using recovery to flash KNOX-free ROM

Hallo...

although I appreciate all the efforts made by helmi & co, I usually try the new roms and find that all of the added applications are something that I don't really need, and alle they do is making the system heavier...

so I was wondering, is there a 'clean' wm5+aku2 rom?

Hi,

After SwiftKey application update, I rebooted my Nexus 5 ... unfortunately no more keyboard is allowed on my lock screen.

I am stuck ... no password entry possible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help will be very welcome

Many thks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Because annoyingly after any update of SwiftKey, you always have to open it from your app drawer and reselect it as the keyboard.

I assume you have root and deleted the stock keyboard?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Did you remove the default google keyboard? After updating swiftkey, you need to again set it as default in "language and input" settings!

If you have indeed deleted the Google keyboard, you can adb push the apk, fix permissions and reboot!

DOWNLOAD:

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?xum64uit9a43q6s

INSTALLATION / UPDATING:

-From the above download link, you'll get a 'recovery.img' file.

-Put that file at the root of sdcard (means, not in any folder)

-Now, open Terminal Emulator and give this command:

su

You'll be asked to grant superuser permissions, grant them.

-Now, give this command:

flash_image recoveryonly /sdcard/recovery.img

And wait for 2-3 seconds until it jumps to a new line. Now, close Terminal Emulator.

-Now, normally reboot to recovery and enjoy new recovery!

2nd - install twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Bhargav97:
My PC is busy again and I can't say when I'll get time but I'll be releasing update soon.

If you want it badly then just do:

Unpack the recovery.img (of this TWRP)

Now, unpack the recovery.img of PhilZ Touch Recovery.

Now, replace the "KERNEL" file in TWRP's unpack from the PhilZ Touch Recovery's unpack.

Now, repack the TWRP's unpack.

Note: If you don't know how to unpack/repack recovery.img file, just Google and you'll learn it in few minutes. It's very easy.

You can use that until my official release. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] jemail:
The recovery image you supplied causes a long boot freeze at initial Samsung Logo followed by reboot and long boot freeze and reboot.... etc.

Boot to recovery using hardware keys produces the same result.

This image completely screws the boot image too, you cannot normal boot after flashing the recovery image. Reflashing the previous working recovery image does not help. I have to restore a recovery image using ODIN to get back to a functional recovery.

No success I am afraid.

There are a lot of method nowadays for unpack-repack and most of them fails to make a proper repack, so you'll have booting problems like you had when you tried to do it yourself. I just told [MENTION=4192345]belyava[/MENTION] to do unpack-repack because he did this with the recovery (TWRP - had same reboot to system issue) of his device successfully. Thanks [MENTION=4192345]belyava[/MENTION] for this help.

Everything expected to work. However, you can always report bugs with a proper recovery logfile.

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] subzero82:
Hello.Does TN7 have wireless charging module inside if not then can it be installed?.:confused:
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Stargazer Optimus:
I would like to know if this is possible also as the micro USB connector in mine has gotten crushed when I accidentally pushed the connector in the wrong way up. I need to find some way of charging it and nobody seems to be able to offer a repair for it.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] crazydave789:
wireless charging does work if you get a 1000ma output plate, the hassle is it has to go behind the copper foil plate under the cover.

you can patch a usb cable to the battery and use a smart charger to keep it safe or get clever and solder to a live input like the fuse on the IO board. thread it through the stylus hole

you can if carefull patch a USB extension cable into it and mod the case to get a proper socket back or maybe see if a phone repair ship will fit a usb b socket to it.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] rchrdcrg:
The easy answer is no. It does not have this built-in, and the battery is non-removeable. There may be some fancy hacker way to do it that involves taking the thing apart and soldering stuff, but there's no consumer-oriented way to do it.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] crazydave789:
as a non fancy hacker type I have been picking these up with bad ports on purpose.

if you understand a soldering iron and can make 4 joints then its a simple enough fix to get a cheap high power tablet.

chargers such as the QI wireless units or powermats are intelligent so you wont run the risk of burning the house down as they switch off when charged although the unit wont tell you it is on charge the battery level will creep up.

the powermat kits are going dirt cheap for phones like the blackberry torch or iphone 3, you strip out the receiver, connect it to the battery and place between the foil and back plate.

the only issue per se is not being able to charge through a case like the fintie despite the 7mm claims for the chargers which pick up the device but fail to lock and charge. however it is possible to split the fintie case putting the QI charger internals inside it so you can plug the case in instead and charge semi normally.

the main difference between the QI and powermat is the latter is a bit thicker and has magnets in the receiver to allow a positive connection it beeps when connected and comes with its own dedicated charger, the QI unit needs a standard micro usb one.

the usb port is replacable but not at home and the wireless option at least keeps you up and running if it fails. trimming a bit out of the case will allow a proper socket to be fitted instead of the badly designed original. it will just stick out the case a few mm but hold the plug the right way round and more securely.

one issue is that like the last one I picked up is that you need a charged device to test the socket properly incase it is just the usual below minimum charge problem android devices seem to suffer from

if the device is rooted then it should be possible to do everything required even with bad ota by using recovery and the sd card.

so it is fixable for under 20 pounds and I've been buying them for around 25 off ebay. :highfive:
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Stargazer Optimus:
I have managed to get wireless charging installed on my device so it is now useable again. I have connected a QI charging card to some contacts on the IO board so you get the lightening bolt when it is charging. I have also installed a charging coil into a case so that it can be charged by plugging a charger into the case.

If the device goes completely flat however, the power from it is insufficient and you get stuck in a state of the battery icon on the screen which can consume more power than the card can deliver so it won't get going again.

I'll post with pictures of what I have done so other interested parties can give it a go if they like when I get them all together.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Stargazer Optimus:
To add QI standard wireless charging to my TN7, first I took out the IO board, used my multimeter to find to contacts to the + and - 5V DC supply from the microusb on the board and soldered some wires to them as below:

The wires I took out of a spare usb cable. The other ends of the wires I soldered to the contacts of a QI reciever from which I had cut the microusb connector off and exposed some of the wires:

There is of course some tape applied to the soldered contacts on the QI receiver to prevent short circuits. I then peeled the sponge tape pads from the battery and repositioned them to allow the receiver coil to sit against the battery so that it would not cause a bulge in the device:

Finally I cut a section out of the copper heat spreader in the back cover:

All in all not a big job. The wires pass by the volume switches when the case is snapped back together in this case. The QI receiver used in this case can only charge the battery at about 15% per hour when the screen is off.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] rchrdcrg:
Awesome walkthrough! I'm still never coming near any of my devices with a soldering iron though... every time I've tried to solder anything, I end up with a mess and a broken gadget.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Torajirou:
Question?

Can I ask you one thing? From the picture below, which part is the battery? Can you highlight it? It'd be a big help.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Stargazer Optimus:
The battery is underneath the wireless reciever is in the picture. It is almost the full width of the unit and goes up to the electronics which is almost the top half of the unit. It has the black tape on it either side of and below the wireless reciever.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] CapeNick:
Okay, so could those two solder points be used to solder a cable to charge the device, like say a USB cable, solder the power wires from the cable to the solder points, obviously making sure not to reverse the polarity, and then use that as a replacement to charge a unit with a broken micro usb port, and not have to worry about using a smart charger or anything??? If so this tutorial would be a life saver!
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Stargazer Optimus:
Yes, I have used that method to charge the device in the past before installing the wireless system. Be aware however that when you bypass the charging circuitry, there is the potential for overcharging...

The battery has red and black wires on the solder contact points so pretty obvious if you want to do that.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Nameitis:
I've soldered QI universal wireless charger to my tn7 and its not charging anyways , same as for micro usb anyone have any ideas about whats going in my tablet ?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Stargazer Optimus:
Can you provide some information about how and where you have soldered the charger? and did you check the polarity?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] MRunabout:
What kind of charger are you using, Stargazer Optimus? I was thinking about buying the Nexus charger because it's rated at 1.8A output.
