[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fawazayad:
Hi

When i take photos with my phone in superior mode there is a small yellow discoloration occurring...is there a way to sort this problem, i don't understand to use the manual mode its complicating....if anyone knows a link to help me to understand the manual mode i will be grateful...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Manual mode is the mode of the camera where you can change all the settings. You can set the following:

- SCN > Scene

- (looks like an Equalizer) > Light condition

- The bold > Flashlight toggle

- Rotation > Changing front and back camera

- Three dots > Other settings

These Other settings are:

Resolution of the camera (Stock 5MP.. You can change this if you want)

Selftimer > Take picture after a small amount of time without pressing any button

Smile shutter > Will take picture when a smile or laugh is detected

Focus mode > How and when will the camera focus

HDR > High Dynamic Range

ISO > Light sensitivity (Stock is auto but this can changed)

Metering > (got no idea)

Image stabilizer > Name says it all

Preview > Name tells function

Above settings are applied on camera and thus on the pictures

Some other settings:

Quick Launch > Change the way the app launches

Geotagging > Adding location to picture info

Touch Capture > Will take picture when screen is touched

Use volume keys as > Change function of volume keys (zoom or none or take picture)

Shutter sound > On or off

Data Storage > Where will the pictures be stored

You need to play with the settings to see what is the best way to take pictures.

Can anyone suggest a good case that will allow me to safely take my phone underwater up to 3meters, would like to use it to take pictures/videos while snorkelling/diving....
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] hamlettime:
Maybe you don't even need a case: http://bgr.com/2014/04/08/is-the-galaxy-s5-really-waterproof/
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] GODSPD:
have you tried using it under water? it doesn't work, and as I mentioned 3meters of water...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] DemonLover:
Lifeproof and LOVE MEI Case both works fine, and also you could get a case which is a plastic bag could also great protect your s5 underwater...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Dennisg34:
I mean, I understand what you WANT to do, but isn't this something that would be better suited for an actual camera designed to go underwater? I know you wouldn't want to make a separate purchase, but I'm not sure the GS5's camera is even designed to take good underwater pictures. Chances are if you are a habitual diver, you would already have a waterproof camera, or should look into something better designed for that and not risk ruining your phone that probably wouldn't be covered under warranty.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jkDave:
Pretty much this. Why bring your phone diving if your only using it for pictures? I understand the tech part, it's cool that our phones are "waterproof" but if you want to take pictures get an actual camera meant for this. Also bringing your phone around saltwater (if thats where you plan on diving) is a reallllllllly bad idea. Salt water is extremely corrosive. I have a TG series olympus, see here http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/digitalcameras/tough/tg-830-ihs.html and I absolutely love it. I've had it for 5 years now, taken it diving mostly in salt water and it still works flawlessly, just have to make sure you run it and all moving parts under fresh water after using. In addition to being waterproof there crush proof, freeze proof and shock proof, well worth the investment if you want to take a decent picture. $200 too much? Get one off ebay.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] JS_racer:
http://www.dicapac.com/main.asp

i used the wp-110 or 310, cant recall for a trip to st lucia, it worked well for scuba diving. (brought two cameras used the old one for the case, worked good, and stayed dry. didn't want to risk the new one, but i suspect it would have been good also.

no clue about the other products they have, maybe the WP-C1 or c2 could work ??
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sricci81:
They said on EBay the love mei case isn't meant to be submergeable....
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Mhaulo:
I agree with the creator of the thread. Its cool to have immediately your photos and share them whenever you want and not waiting to get a computer to do all that bulky process. I do have an old Nex 5 with its respective waterproof acrylic case and gets boring to charge the camera, take the pictures and evaluate them in a small screen (underwater is not easy in those small LCD to be sure if the photo is blurry or not, same happens out of the water due to sun glare over the screen).

If anyone knows which case does the trick, I'm totally in for one too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diggy94:
LifeProof for the s5 is out. Why don't you give that a try.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Mhaulo:
One hour and two meters is far from diving experience.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Mhaulo:
I guess these guys are coming up with a real solution for your (our) request:

Watershot® Smartphone Housings

I hope it comes with a led light because the one on the galaxy 5 is really poor IMHO
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] f308gt4:
I've used a similar types of case on my S5. However, it is really difficult to take pictures underwater using the case, as the touch sensitivity under water is practically zero. Above water, no problems, but underwater it just doesn't work well.

I don't know if the Dicapac is different, but it looks about the same as the case I had.

On edit: Just realized, the Verizon S5 does have an option to use the volume key to take a picture. Haven't tried that option yet, but I image that would be the solution to underwater pictures.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] barthie:
i use this when i go kayaking
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ggcs:
ultraproof pouch or frieq pouch can both do the work. Search on amazon, they all have pretty good reviews.

I really don't think it is good idea to use waterproof case on daily basis, hence those cheap waterproof pouches will work pretty well when you really need them!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jim mcnugget:
VisionTech Diving, Shock, Dirt and Snow Proof Case. This one is supposedly good up to 8 metres. Just tried to buy one off amazon US but they won't ship it to Australia :(

Underwater Housing

I own the iPix Underwater Housing for Samsung Galaxy S4. I'm a PADI qualified Rescue Diver and I used to take it diving with me on wrecks, it is amazing! Waterproof to 56m, easy to use, no obstruction to taking photos, excellent video and sound quality, far less bulky than any standard underwater housing for a normal camera, and at $150 a bargain.....I honestly could not fault this piece of equipment. I would recommend it to anyone!

Unfortunately, my S4 just stopped working one day, so upgraded to the S5, but where the S5 is slightly bigger than the S4, it doesn't fit in the housing and I haven't found one as of yet for the newest model.

If they bring one out though, I will definitely be buying one!

(did put a link here to the iPix, but wouldn't allow me to post it. Just Google 'iPix Underwater Housing for Samsung Galaxy s4' if you want to take a look. PS, sorry for not being completely helpful)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mikeloeven:
underwater cameras are fun but i am also interested in a good dive safe case for the galaxy

if your diving on a reef close to shore you might be able to use the phone for fish identification provided your close enough to the island for cellular data show me one underwater camera that can do that XD
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edinchez:
I just got my G2 less than two weeks ago. At first, the battery life was great, but in the past couple of days, it's been absolutely awful. Can't get a whole day with a single charge, which I could easily do with heavy use in the beginning. And I've read some threads about it being false reporting because of KK etc, but this definitely not false reporting. Others had theirs at like 4-5%, but this is way too much. Screen:

Stock KK, rooted with IOroot and using 2 Xposed modules: G2 Xposed and G2 Tweaksbox.

I really hope someone can help me out, this is really frustrating.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Does anyone know if it's possible to install the Google stock dialer from the nexus 5 with unknown caller ID onto the lg stock rom? I know the dialer works fine for asop roms but I'm uncertain about stock based roms.

I doubt that it would work since the bases are different but confirmation is appreciated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] galapagos:
I don't know about RadeonMaya ROM but it works fine in stock kitkat for F240K variant (I think Radeon Maya is based on a F240 variant). It works in conjunction with the stock dialer so you should not delete any stock apps. Just install the google dialer in system/priv-app with 644 permission. Then you need to create a shortcut to google dialer to enable the dialer.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Where did u get the apk? Just ripped it from the zip?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Logic717:
Found it, had to find the Odexed version and was able to locate that from the nexus 5 forum. Worked just fine when I moved it to the folder and set the permissions as you stated.

I was able to create a shortcut via Action launcher so now i'm all set.

Thanks!

Can this be done yet..???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Is it really locked?

At the moment no one has a locked device yet, even operators are selling them unlocked.

See more details here:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nightshot:
Ive got one and its locked!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
ok, i update the wiki then!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Shadamehr:
Orange always lock them.

So back to my question - anyone know how to UNlock them yet, or is it way too early?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Not so many people have locked devices, so you'll have to research if you want to unlock it. What I recommend is reading how other HTC devices are unlocked, and most probably you'll only have to adapt to Hermes.

These are interesting things for you to read:

A good starting point would be to have a dumped rom from an unlocked Orange SPV M3100 and a dumped rom from a locked one, better if the two dumped ROMs contain the same versions. For more information look here:

No sorry mate - we are normal people after a normal layman's answer, much like the simple explanation as to how to unlock the Wizard when it came out.

I am grateful indeed for your help, but its FAR more technical and over my head than the reply I was after...

Cheers though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gpstoloff:
OK, here's a normal layman's answer: NOT YET, IT'S A BRAND NEW MODEL. BE PATIENT! :roll:

Before we can give you a simple, step-by-step process, someone has to do the hard work -- the experimentation that was described in the previous post. Many of the people on this board are the technical boffins who will develop the solution; he simply thought you might be willing to do it and offer some guidance to get us all further along the path.

Plus, only the Orange models appear to be locked; all other operators appear to be selling unlocked versions. It'll have to be an Orange owner, and they just started selling them this week.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:

Do they unlocked it for you? Do you know how they do it? Can you "reverse engeneer" the changes done on the phone? Can you provide more information? :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nuttyphilt:
Yes, they unlocked it for me. I was a beta tester for them and got it unlocked successfully earlier this evening.

I have absolutely no idea how they do it, unfortunately I don't have the technical skills otherwise I would've done it myself :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
I see the process here:

http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php

Can you share the M3100v1unlock.exe file which will only work for your IMEI?

we can probably reverse engeneer what it does from there...

Thanks :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] risidoro:
I think that a full reverse engineering can be avoided. The unlocker -which is freely downloadable- simply asks the user to insert a password code that matches his phone's IMEI before going on with the unlock. Bypassing this check should be fairly simple for a skilled programmer (cracker). Or he could develop a code generator.

The only problem is: Is it correct to do this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
No, it is not correct, but we don't want to do this... we just want to know what the unlocker does, and then write another app (not hack the existing) to do it, and release it for free :)

You can download the unlocker here.

but the "crack" is not so easy to write as the imei-check unlocker is quite protected: binary file packed with themida, detects USB monitor software, detects when debugger is running on system, crypts strings on memory...

Any progress?

Has any progress been made in the mean time for creating a free unlocker to the Hermes.

I'm about to pay 20 pounds to imei-check, but I'd also be willing to spend that on a donation to our community (xda-devs) for whoever comes up with a free solution by wednesday of this week.
