[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Kims:
I have been very disappointed with the camera in my Wizard ever since I got it. Other 1.3 MPix phones I have had have been classes better at taking photos.

After a while a came to suspect the plastic cover on the back of the phone of being the problem, since as the cover grows more and more scratched the pictures are becoming more and more "Artistic" in their expression. I think it is a great pity to put such a cover in front of any camera lens.

So I am looking for a way to get rid of the cover without damaging the phone. Does anyone know how to disassemble the phone?

Regards,

Kim

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Kims:
Should have done this a long time ago!

Today I took the Giant Leap and opened the back of the phone - as it turned out it was a piece of cake and took about 5 minutes. Removed the tiny plastic cover over the camera lens, assembled the thing again.

And what a difference! The 9100 can actually take sharp pictures. No flares and blurs. The camera/sw still seems to interpret colours in a somewhat artistic way, but apart from that I can only recommend the procedure. I tried to look through the plastic cover and a guess is that it removes about 1-2 f-stops apart from adding blur. Shame on Qtek.

I may now be able to use the camera for real now. I have attached a couple of shots.

Oh, Joy!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camufix:
Here is my history,

I was trying to unlock S5830, so I rooted and placed a custom rom (MaclawStudio ROM Final 3), kernel 2.6.37.6-maclawstudio.

I found my unlock key and when the phone asked for it, I went head! Problem is that I cant get any network service. And I know that the unlock key was correct (tryed two methods a hex method and an app method).

So I'm trying to go back to the stock rom, with odin 4.38 (w7 compatibility (im running w8.1 64x) and with admin rights) one package.

But my laptop recognizes the phone except when in download mode. Can anyone help me? I just need to really unlock the phone... thanks ppl.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyfool:
I had finally installed a custom kernel for my us cellular galaxy s3 (sch-r530u)

ran fast charge on it...

it charged fine but later when it had died now it wont charge at all

I have tried several AC adaptors, car charger, and my computer

all that happens is the phone tries to turn on and then dies before the OS can start

if I plug it in I do not see the charge light turn on

I do not have a warranty as I bought this phone used from a friend that upgraded to the s5.

I am assuming this could just be the battery (maybe somehow fast charge messed up my battery?)

I just wanted to check here before I went and bought anything.

Thanks for any advice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinGEO:
Seems like USB cable was not capable of that bigger numbers or you just used too big amount for fast charge overall,and that was bad for the battery.

Replacing battery will do the job.

[General Questions and Answers] ordinaryrohan:
Hi guys, I seriously need your help,

So, this is my situation-

I recently bought a new tablet "HCL ME Connect V3". These are its specs -

Network - GSM : 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Battery - 3000 mAh Li-Po

Display - 480x800 pixels TFT 16000000 colors

Camera - 3.2MP rear / 0.3 MP front

Has Bluetooth, WiFi, USB, GPS, GPRS, EDGE, (NO 3G)

OS - Android 4.1.2

Very impressive specs for such a low cost. right? But here's the catch, it doesn't have neither the Google Play Store nor Google Play Services installed in it, and worse it even doesn't let you manually install them(as far as I've tried). From the factory it comes with HCL's own useless market app (1Mobile Market), which has a horrible layout, always freezes up, and doesn't have any useful/common apps.:eek:

I installed both the Play Store, and the Play services manually with no errors. But when it comes to running the store, it'll run fine for a few seconds, then a system message will come up saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." BUT I can see the app giving me the terms of service prompt in the background, AFTER that error message pops up. After acknowledging the error, it force closes the store.:crying:

So bros, what do you think? do i have a chance or I'm stuck with it for life? Please Help!

P.S. I've rooted the Tab.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desitunez:
Hi team,

Wondering is someone can assist or point me in right direction for fixing my wife's Razr HD. ( Australian Telstra GSM )

Issue - Currently phones starts goes to OS , however all andriod apps / core services are stopping making it unusable, usually phone will start ask for pin and within 30 seconds all apps and core services stop ( with error messages etc ).

So here is what happens and i have tried.

1. Tried uninstalling apps ( eg whatsapp / facebook etc .. ) it uninstalls sometime before the freezing / errors - but once you reboot those apps come back as there never uninstalled :|

2. Erase all data it never works it lets me press the button , but on reboot come back to original problem OS.

So i decided i should root / install custom rom or even stock rom ).

1. Boot Loader - Unlocked ( did that on motorola website no issues )

2. Tried Installing customer recovery in fastboot ( it flashes , however it goes to original recovery dead gread andriod with red traingle with belly open !, after flash i have not let it boot to OS still the same issue) - i think it has original-recovery.p file in system i cant delete it or rename it ..

3, Rooting - tried rooting no luck .. i can connect via ADB however system is read only ( doesnt let SU , busy box etc to copy or execute at all ) - tried motochoppper/ saferoot no luck .. it cant write or copy or exceute SU.

So i tried few other extreme measures as below..

fastboot erase system or -w

fastboot erase data

fastboot erase cache

All successful , however after that still boot to original OS.

Tried installing Stock ROM/Firmware using - RSDLite , it seems to install copied the files on reboot .. same old OS ..

i can goto fastboot , i can run adb shell command ( but its read only system ).

i am really stuck here wondering if you guys help / much appreciated.

rgds.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfmly:
Just saw this thread and it sounds exactly like what just started happening to my phone yesterday. I was unlocked, and rooted, with stock VZW (US) ROM. All was fine. Then started getting app error popups like you state and tried using TWRP recovery to install a backup I had made and it appears to work only if I DO NOT check the 'data' box. When I try and wipe data, it errors out as well. I am worried something caused it to get stuck in read only mode like one of the last comments in this thread and the phone is toast, but not just.

If you find anything or figure it out please let me know, I'll do the same....

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

I am guessing this might be the issue and I am experiencing it as well. However, I have no idea how that could have happened in the first place. I never tried to do anything with TWRP until after the phone began acting funny with all apps crashing (pop ups stating that) and the phone essentially becoming unusable.

When I am in TWRP and do wipes (factory reset, or advanced wipes) it seems to wipe everything fine, even the data partition. However, when I try and write to that partition it fails (i.e. restoring a backup including the data partition). If I don't include the data partition the restore works, but the phone is still crap.

Does this sound like the issue you mention below (data is stuck on read only and there is no way around it)?? If so, anyone in the market for a decent looking paperweight?? :eek:

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfmly:
Well it looks like I was able to get through some of it. I followed the instructions here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/49699-1834614xt926-ota/. I did the extra step of going to stock 183 (unrooted) and then flashed the update in that and the phone is working fine. I am already unlocked (have been for long time), but not rooted at the moment. I believe I can root now (being that I am unlocked) but haven't tackled that yet. At the very least I have a phone that works for my upcoming business trip.....

BTW - the TWRP I had installed has been used on my phone for a long time (8-12 months??) so not sure why that version all of a sudden would have caused the issue, but at this point it doesn't appear to have been that issue (with data locked in read only mode).

2. Rename it to SemcUnplugChargerReminder.apk2

Done.

Since I did that, I've noticed something weird that never showed up on either of those two devices before.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] startswithp:
So no to long ago I decided I would check the my phone's ip address and came across some questionable stuff. Here's my question:

1) How is it that my phone's ip address can change from being registered to tmobil on a 100.x.x.x address to sporadically being registered on DoD 30.x.x.x address?

2) How can it still happen even after I installed android firewall?

Conditions are always the same. I don't download any shady anything's. I pay for my rhapsody account and that's as far as my file sharing goes. I never have my WiFi enabled.

Any ideas or let me know what info you'd need to better access the situation. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Without knowing what the allocated ip address really was, there it's really no way of knowing who the current owner of the block is, many blocks are relocated and may no longer be with who they used to be with, especially ipv4 blocks.

Not sure what android firewall would have to due with what the remote ip you are being allocated to with your dhcp network connection.

You should have no real control over what your network connection is given when you connect, other than possible controlling ipv6 vs ipv4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] startswithp:
So does this help? the firewall lets me know that even though I have set it up to refuse the block of addresses in which in resides, they're still connection to my phone.

Not sure I'm understanding you anyway. You telling me they temporarily relocate my up because they re no longer with.... yet after a few minutes , sometimes hours, I'm right back to the same ip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chipworkz:
What he was saying I believe is that the IPv4 allocations have been changing do to the available IP address blocks running thin. Companies were encouraged to give up IP blocks that they weren't actually using. In simple terms, a company might have originally owned a block of 100,000 IPs but never actually used more than 50,000. So they gave back a block of 50,000 so another company(s) could use them instead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
I don't believe the IP address' are static on a carrier. I'm not sure but each time you connect to the carrier network (no signal or airplane mode) you could be giving a fresh IP address. Also that is certainly the case if you are on a WiFi network. Unless you phone was set up as a static connection, you would likely receive a new lease on an IP address.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chipworkz:
Found this which sounds similar to what you are seeing.
