[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JovieBrett:
First of all, thanks guys for giving me time answering my stupid question lol, I've ran out of thanks and I promise I'll give you thanks back later! :)

So yeah why the fvck did samsht announced that they would be releasing the 4.4.2 update so early as last month if they can't even roll out as soon as possible? that's insane it's almost a month now and the update is not even rolling out here (btw I live in Manila, Ph) :eek:

I agree with [MENTION=244082]FloatingFatMan[/MENTION], they should have not told people what the REAL thing of the release schedule was :silly: talking about France and India, omfg lol we can now really foretell the future that it would probably take them for years to completely release the update world wide :silly: Google is preparing to release the 4.4.3 update and samsht is still smoking weeds to think about the update :eek: I wonder what will my friend think about this lol. I actually told her that rooting is the best thing that would happen on her device, encouraging her to flash CM11 on it but she's sick of these things haha, she's scared of bricking her phone lol but I told her that I'm the one that will gonna guide her doing those stuff, but it all ended up saying NO ahaha.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
Well check the update OTA or via kies since you are in Manila.

Talking about 4.4.3 by Google I doubt it would bring anything major to phones except bug fixes that plagued the Nexus devices.The more bigger announcement would be at the Google I/O when we might hear about Android 4.5 or 5 ,who knows and this might be the very last update we would get from Samsung/Google judging by the 2 year policy of Google to support devices

Mabuhay (I am not Pinoy)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JovieBrett:
Already tried that for a few times, still no response :| we've actually did some dumb shts on her phone like clearing the 'google services framework' (which is a workaround forcing OTA update to receive on Nexus phones) and we end up screwing her phone lol, still not working :silly:

Yeah I agree, it's almost a half a month now before Google I/O will start and I don't think that they will possibly release a bug fix update (4.4.3) on a short amount of time before they actually release a major update on IO.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
Nice of her to still trust you with her note II in the hope it won't be messed up this time around.Oh well I am sure in few days time you'll get notified ota if not then do what you do best.Mess up her phone..LOL
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JovieBrett:
Well, it's her choice and she doesn't care what I am really actually doing on her phone lol, she's trusting me, our frienship would only break if her phone won't boot anymore past the bootlogo hahaha.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JovieBrett:

Guys any help on flashing sgs5 on mac os?

Tried heimdall but seems it is not supporting sgs5 yet.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
Do you mean you want to download ROMs off XDA and move them from your Mac to your phone, then flash ROM? If you want to move files from Mac to phone use Airdroid on Wifi. No better choice.

Edit: sorry you want an Odin like tool, not sure about that sorry.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumbi2400:
Unfortunately, the only other option is to try using a VM. I am in the same boat. You may want to comment on the issue I created on the Heimdall github https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/issues/203

The more information that can be gained the better.

Hi all, anybody got the same problems, and if yes, were they solved and how?

i have an unlocked spv m500

1. everytime i plug in my ac charger, my magician soft resets. thats so damn annoying its not funny. it doesnt do it with usb charging.

2. ive got a socket e300 sdio wifi card and i cant find any network after i install. ive tried the socket cd and followed all instructions. it all install nicely, but no network. my wifi isnt encrypted, besides there are 4 others in my building. it cant find anything.

3. profiles. im using winapps (Thx fabrizio) but for some reason, it only vibrates for rings and not receiving sms if i set profile to silent and only vibrate.

Thats all i can think of right now
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] 903tex:
Thanks HTC for bring a bigger mp camera to a phone that's suppose to be the little brother of the m8.........

http://mobile.theverge.com/2014/5/...tes-the-companys-flagship-phone-in-a-trimmed
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hattrickinc:
...because we're ALWAYS complaining about the MP on our camera when we just upload the photos to instagram and fb..
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] 903tex:
You can't say that for ALL users. A lot of people don't need a expensive camera to take pics. Especially if you want to use that pic past Facebook etc. All I'm saying is instead of adding a second camera. HTC could have added more to the m8 to help keep it from being the same camera with a second camera. End of the day 4mp camera is a 4mp camera

When I want to use my pics past loading onto social apps. I use my note 3. But if I want to use this pic to upload then yes either my m8 or note 3 will do the job just fine
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I'll agree that what smartphone camera is "better" depends on how you in particular use the camera. But just because a camera has more MP, does not make it "better" either. We'll have to wait and see if the camera on the One Mini 2 actually yields better quality images than the M8.

Unless you are blowing up or cropping photos a lot, 13 MP is too much and a joke for a camera phone. High MP smartphone cameras really struggle in low light. And unless you are taking pictures outdoors in broad daylight, its often low light.

I'll agree that HTC probably should not have opted for the dual camera on the M8. Kinda cool at times, but also pretty gimmicky. The money probably would have been better spent improving image quality on the single rear camera (even if not to increase the MP).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] 903tex:
It's kinda a slap in the face to a certain degree. Here is the new m8 with the same camera with a secondary camera which is mostly gimmicky while nice at the same time. Then they decide to make the new HTC one mini from a 5 mp camera to a 13MP camera...........

Now will it have better pics? Probably not or probably so. For most people it don't matter, but after being in retail when trying to sell a customer the one the camera is its downside cause on PAPER the 4mp camera doesn't sound good at all compared to the other smartphones out in the market. People will buy the mini 2 because of it has higher mp count than the m8. While the m8 blows the mini in other specs that 13MP camera looks a lot better to somebody who doesn't care to have the latest and greatest specs.

While a higher mp count doesn't make a camera phone any better yes, but why bring the same thing to the table for your flagship but have a mid range phone with a better spec camera on paper WHEN it comes to mp count. .
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Unfortunately, Average Joe is always going to fall for that marketing gimmick of chasing big numbers, without having any real understanding of what they mean. How many times have you seen someone with a fancy, big screen 1080p TV; and the owner just has a standard definition program on it; and not even in the right aspect ratio (so the picture is all stretched out to fill the screen). That kinda crap drives me crazy!

I for one applaud HTC for turning their nose up at the megapixel arms race. Its gotten absurd. I mean seriously, do we really need a smartphone with a 41 MP camera? Of course not (I understand its actually a really good camera, but

not

because its 41 MP).

That is a really good point. Why push a certain marketing strategy (and one that particularly bucks the trend) for one device, then do nearly the exact opposite for another device.

In any case, I don't think that the Mini 2 will really compete directly with the M8. Price point alone, even the Average Joe Blow is going to know its a flagship versus a "budget" phone. Don't know about the One Mini in particular, but for the most part, any HTC phone aside from the "flagship" tends to sell in extremely low numbers. At least here in the US (don't know about other regions).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] 903tex:
The same reason we need 4k Tv's and 2k screen on smartphones. To keep making them money lol! Exactly why say your not going to follow the trend but all your other phones are right in the trend? Lol but HTC could have tried a little harder for the m8 speaking of the camera of course. The phone is rock solid but don't have these commercials making fun of these mp trends and being different when your other devices join right in with today's trends.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ronii1123:
Some of my favorite shots have come from the camera on my M8. In terms of higher quality, I'm actually looking at the Sony G Lens, since it is supposed to take really nice shots, and is $200 at my local best buy.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] manup456:
Some people such as my self want a phone with camera and some prefer cameras that can be used as a phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] indymx:
If I want to use my pics for something worthwhile, I use my Canon EOS.. otherwise I use a crappy phone camera. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] daddioj:
lets all cut the crap. the camera is nice on the M8 and i do agree. to a certain degree. mega pixels don't make the camera. but it sucks for details when blowing up pictures or zooming we dont need 20 mp. but i think we should have something alittle higher
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sheek360:
reviews for the one mini 2 have started surfacing. in ideal conditions it is resolving a lot more detail, by a huge margin. but anything other than ideal and the m8 takes it.

i think the 2.0 pixel size is great and all, but i think we couldve benefited a lot for 1.8 sized pixels and an extra megapixel. that configuration shouldn't lead to a large camera hump.

i'm happy with what i got either way, i do miss the old OIS from my old m7. but whatever, the m8 has proven to be a capable shooter. and my nx300 is always on stand by in case i need a real camera
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dillalade:
Any advice on rooting the Mini 2. I receive it tomorrow from carphone warehouse (379sterling.) Has the original Mini gained from official CM11 support thus far?

Any insight on how to root my forthcoming mini 2 and gaining cwm and porting roms would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know what phone o could potentially port from for the Mini 2.

How difficult to root and install a custom cwm recovery?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] arciere84:
Hello community!

I have just bought the new HTC One Mini 2, it is locked with EE network. It looks like I am unable to get the unlock code anywhere. Do you have any suggestion or advice?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Eddie Bombay:
Wrong board
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mindmajick:
what sucks is having a super light sensitive camera.. while living in Florida. It's always bright unless you paint your windows black.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mon_iker:
So what if it has a camera with higher MPs. That doesn't make it a better phone than m8. Unless HTC comes up with a device having the same internals as the m8 but a better camera resolution, I don't see what is there to fuss about.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I'm not so sure that having a more sensitive sensor (while better for low light situations) necessarily means that there will be too much light in bright situations. The camera controls the sensitivity (ISO based on the old "film speed" terminology) as well as the aperture (f-stop). It might be that the automatic exposure that the camera is trying to achieve (balance between ISO, aperture and shutter time) is too bright for your local conditions. In which case, you can manually lower the exposure by tapping the 3-top menu button in the camera app, tap EV and lower the exposure value.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mindmajick:
I've messed with all the settings. I appreciate the feedback though...

Unfortunately, if i have any picture with a bright spot from the sun the whole picture gets washed out. Full indoor is fine and full outdoor is fine. But daytime pictures indoors with sun coming in the window- washed out. Granted- if i still lived in Philly (or most parts of the country) i doubt it would be an issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Any camera will have issues if there are areas in the frame which are very bright, or spotty lighting (mix of bright and darker spots). Or does it seem worse with the phone? Often forcing the focus to a different spot by tapping the screen helps a lot.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mindmajick:
I'm one if those crazy cat people so i take a LOT of pictures. But i don't tend to share them lol. I've gotten some amazing pictures with the m8 camera.. Really cool shots i don't think i could have gotten with my old note2. For example:

But stuff like this never used to happen with the note 2 (I've got like 20 of this same shot on different settings.):
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Do you have scratches on the camera glass coating? Cause it looks like you might (which creates excessive clouding or blurring from bright light).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] mindmajick:
Nope. Crystal clear. I'm one of the few people that are EXCEPTIONALLY careful with my device. I've never even scratched a phone unless it was on purpose lol

There's Just LOTS of lumens from the florida sun. That picture is blurry though... I wasn't concerned with focus at that point. I was just trying to get a light balanced shot.

Thanks for all the help though! I've learned to frame my pictures during the day to avoid windows.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If you mean "thanks for the all the unhelpful advice" then your welcome! Hahaha!

I see what you mean. In photos where the subject is darker, but there is really bright spot in the background, the camera seems to have trouble resolving the 2, and excessively overexposing the bright areas.

I had to look through all my photos to see if I can find the same issue. I live in New England, where its hardly ever that sunny for long. So only about 5 of my photos out of 166 display a similar effect! I'll have to look at the pics taken with my DSLR to see how that camera handled similar lighting situations.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] pixelsquish:
i too like the camera on the m8 and the duo effects. as a professional photographer i know the MP # is often just marketing. still, I'd like a duo m8 camera with 8MP, still good low light shooting, maybe not as good as at 4mp but still very good. that would be perfect. as a pro, the U Focus is such a great feature. being able to create nice bokeh where you want it is fricking invaluable.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
So I would like to have a lockscreen similar to the standard swipe to unlock (without pin). My problem is that I have mandatory encryption on my device, so it requires a pin lockdown within at least 14 minutes. But when using this option, powering on before 14 minutes goes straight to the home screen instead of a simple swipe with no pin. I would like a swipe requirement so that my phone wont go ape in my pocket while I am playing golf. Since disabling the home power-on is not an option, I was hoping there might be a secondary swipe to unlock app out there. Anyone know of such an animal?

[General Questions and Answers] Nikola99603:
Hello everyone,

I have Micromax A110 canvas 2, or the cynus t2 phone.

I recently rooted my phone, and sucessifuly instaled LegoIce Fusion V3 custom rom and CWM recovery.

It worked perfectly for like 3 weeks.

Yesterday i changed my screen lock pattern, and shut down a phone to check out something in recovery mode.

I pressed volume +,- and power button, pressed volume up for recovery mode when i got promted, just like always, but this time android image appeared and looks like formatted my phone.

Phone didnt get into recovery mode, but instead it restarted and booted back into android. What i saw than is that

all my apps were deleted.

I tried to restart phone again, but this time it just stucked on booting.

Only logo appears, but one thing i think is important to mention is that now it shows stock boot logo "ANDROID" and it should show "SAMSUNG" logo as i instaled custom rom.

I tried couple more times to boot into android, but i failed. Than i decided to boot into recovery mode, but when i press Volume +,- and power button and pres volume up for recovey my phone just restarts and tries to boot in android.

So right now i can't access android, nor i can access recovery mode to flash rom again.

I ran out of ideas, so any advice will be appreciated.

[Themer General Discussion] poacherD:
Currently using the "twilight" theme, with the default music widget for that theme! zero customization done.

Every time I open from the music widget it asks me to pick a music player, even though I only use Google Play music. Any idea how to just make this open up automatically?
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
Hi,

Just to clarify, you applied the Twilight theme, then went to music player and select Google Play Music as your default music player? Did you do anything else after that, such as restarting your phone or switching to another theme? If so, Themer resets your default player, and you'll have to set it back.

You can also long press on the homescreen - select Themer Settings - App Preferences - Music - Google Play Music.

Hope this helps!
[Themer General Discussion] poacherD:
Thanks for the reply! I actually did exactly that way, and haven't rebooted or anything. It just happens every time I click the widget, even though the default is set in the Themer settings.

Even if I switch songs, go back to my homescreen, and go back into the music app I have to choose which again.

Thoughts? Maybe a bug with the widget?
