[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomo1971:
This is the main reason I've gone for the z2 over the s5...i wanted waterproof as work outside a lot and paranoid about water ingress, even putting the phone into a coat that's wet. The flap on the z2 seems far sturdier.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijeff:
It is a pretty major flaw to the device. Having to remove it each time you charge in the car is pretty cumbersome as it stands, for it to be stressful on a flimsy cover makes it worse.

Perhaps with enough attention, Samsung could offer a recall to replace it with a sturdier part.

Update:

Still unable to get it to roam. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I am on a Sprint Framily plan? I'm not able to find a clear answer if it supports roaming or not but I've found several replies that says it does. So not definitely sure if that's my problem or not.

Same build.

It's been quite a while since I've used this but I selected GS5 and Roam Only and the LTE symbol never goes away. The status says not roaming.

I'm still on NCB baseband/modem if it makes any difference.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
That explains why.... you can't force roam on LTE.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Gonna give me a hint?

I know this might be an easy question but I've only had the phone about a week. :rolleyes:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Nevermind, found it. Glad someone's watching out for me. :good:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdylan21221:
what mode did you have it on that didn't allow roaming?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
When I looked, it was set for LTE/Cdma. I think changing it to Cdma only was what allowed roam control to work. Then when I was done, I put it on automatic.

Edit: See Joe's previous post. You can't roam on LTE so you have to force it to CDMA mode before activating forced roaming with the app.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
Not true. Only if you have an LTE connection you have to switch it to CDMA only.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaúcho comedor:
I'm sure everyone is tired of people parroting that CM camera is not as good as stock and blah blah blah. Since I am a constant tester of my phones, here is what I have personally found. Feel free to share your results as well.

4.3 stock camera: I could not believe Sony released such bad software. Focus was a disaster and at least 50% of my pictures and videos were out of focus. Videos were especially affected by the lack of focus control. A significant number of my videos ended up being pure crap. Lighting conditions did not matter. Focus was horrible outdoors in plain daylight, indoors during day and night, everywhere. The camera was unreliable for one-time opportunities.

4.4.2 stock camera: The camera became much better than the 4.3 version, but still not the best. Pictures don't seem to be affected as much by the focus problem, but videos still have issues. Outdoors, videos seem to be mostly OK now, but indoors, I've noticed that the camera tries to focus constantly whenever I move the phone one tiny bit, even if the subject hasn't moved at all. That created a ghost on most of my videos because focus was never constant, although both the camera and subject moved very little.

CM 11 camera: Although definitely not perfect, my experience has been the best with CM. My pictures are hardly ever out of focus, and my videos are nearly always good. However, there are exceptions. I've noticed that the camera doesn't get and hold focus in certain situations. I've recorded a video inside a gym, at night with lights on from the middle of the court to the back wall. Without any zoom or flash, the focus was just shy of perfect, but was clearly off. This less-than-perfect focus issue has appeared in several of my videos. I've also noticed that when the camera is trying to acquire focus in macro pictures, it passes through the perfect focus point, but often settles in a less focused state.

My verdict

Out of all cameras, CM has given me the best results overall. It is far from perfect, but it has been the best for me. Also, after all the hype about the "amazing" Sony camera, I can honestly say I am disappointed. The cameras on my previous phones (AT&T Note 2 and S4) generated better pictures and videos. I expected it to be at least comparable in quality to Samsung cameras, but that is not the case when comparing all the pictures and videos I've taken, several of which at the same locations/events for better comparison. I absolutely love my Z1C and it was the first phone to break me free from the Samsung curse, but the camera does not meet my expectations.

What has YOUR OWN experience been? What problems have you found in each rom? How do you get the best pictures/videos?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birnee:
hi,

nice post. I did quick test of RRrom vs KK camera few days back, keeping it short, CM camera gaveme too few settings to choose from. what is more, not like it matters much, CM11 front facing camera gives much worse output compared to stock. I have seen the new version of CM has rolled out recently, I hope for new CM based roms to come out soon. I will have some camera heavy days this week so I can do some more tests.

BTW, having the weekend free, I did 4.4 vs 4.3. Like the 4.3 camera better :]

[Moto X Q&A] Jvov:
Hey guys!

So, I had an HTC One M7 for about 8 months but I managed to trade it on a Moto X, since my One had a problem with the camera focus (it never focused). I got a second hand Moto X that works flawlessly and looks new, except for this part right here:

I am looking forward to replace that part, which is like a screen ring and I thought someone would know or have one to sell. Mine is full of little bumps and is driving me nuts. :crying:

Hello.

I installed HASA V5 2.3.7 GB rom on my Xperia Mini Pro SK17i and now I can't ugrade it to 4.1.2 over Sony PC Companion because it says that my phone is up to date.

My phone is rooted.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dr. Joy Das:
XMP SK17i will not receive official 4.1.2 JB update. Latest update available is 4.0.4 ICS version only. IF you prefer cyanogen based 4.1.2 rom, use Super jelly bean 8 rom. Its fantastic...

May be your rom is unlocked & so not even detected ICS update. Instead use FLASHTOOL application, download your prefered stock ICS or GB .ftf file & flash it.:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dorian995:
I meant 4.0.4 not 4.1.2 :D

I hate cyanogen based roms and 4.1.2 will make my phone laggy as hell xD

PC Companion hasn't detected any updates...

Can it be because my bootloader is unlocked ?

Thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dr. Joy Das:
BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED will be the cause.

Download Flashtool from here: http://www.flashtool.net/download.php

Download 4.0.4 ftf file from here: http://www.flashtool.net/firmwares.php

Then flash it manually. No need for sony erricson pc suite:fingers-crossed:

But for information Cm10(4.1.2) is much faster than android. Now it supports 720p recording also

The only drawback is no bravia engine 2 support.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
a) cm (cyanogenmod) is android. sony rom too. cm is just the same as nexus fw with some additional features.

b) cm allways supported 720p recording. its just disabled (but if you xperienced enough you can enable it yourself if you build from source ;)) bcuz of 2 things: its laggy due to sony dont support us with drivers over ICS, also they never released source so we could do it ourselves :). 2) disabling it results in 22mb more ram.

c) you can use even bravia engine 3 or x-reality (look in arc thread for it) on cm. there many users say it works for them. for me even on stock ics those stuff is only bloatware & i cant see any diffrence even when i compare phone to phone... (i done it with friend)

d) [MENTION=5839352]Dorian995[/MENTION] i will see your face as you maybe find out some day how much more power you get delivered from a 4.2.2 JB (cm10.1) (or even up to 4.4 KK) ROM compared to stock. it will blast you away.

[Sony Smartwatch] naheel azawy:
Arabic works good on some apps cuz it works with control api, I've noticed that apps with control api depends on the device you're connected to. for example, when I try some apps on my Xperia mini pro with small screen, apps on the sw looks with smaller font than when I use it on xperia tablet z with huge screen. Also when I installed cm11 on my mini pro, the font in Arabic changed cuz kitkat arabic font is different than arabic font on ICS.

Other wise on apps with notification api it doesn't matter what is your device, it only get the notification and show it on the smartwatch with its own system and with its own language, and the Sony smartwatch hasn't arabic on its system as a result it can't understand arabic.

So the only way to make notification api works with arabic is waiting for sony to make an update that has arabic support.
[Sony Smartwatch] zzsetozz:
thanks for your explanation, but how could I know what API the app is using, and can we patch (I don't know if it is called patch) the smartwatch 2 to add Arabic, and finally is this the same issue on the smart Headset problem with Arabic, some apps there support Arabic and others not?
[Sony Smartwatch] naheel azawy:
Apps with notification api is the apps that only show you a list of notifications when open it, it's also the apps that can work without need to be connected to the phone -except original apps "alarm, stopwatch..."-

Examples: Facebook, Twitter, messaging, email

Apps with control api show you a progress before launch and it doesn't work at all without connection to the phone.

Examples: phone, weather, music

For now I don't know anyway to make arabic work else waiting for an update from Sony

For the smart headset, I'm not sure but I think that the same thing will happen on MW1 cuz it has control and notification api. But on SBH50 and SBH52 arabic will not work at all cuz they has only notification api
[Sony Smartwatch] waelmahran:
Changing Font affects directly on the watch for apps that support the Arabic languag.

I accidentally upgraded and want to return to the pervious 4.3. Ive researched a long time and ive read that once you upgrade you cannot downgrade back to jelly bean. Ive also read another post on here that said with Canadian Sm-N900W8 if you download the Mexican 4.4.2 and flash it via odin that you can return to 4.3. Can anyone confirm this and provide me instructions.
