[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Couldn't find a thread about the ZU on this, but this issue puzzles me. I have a new ZU for two days now and can't really get over the seemingly bad haptic feedback implementation. Whenever I hit the same button a couple of times, or a couple of random ones fast, the intensity of the feedback dramatically increases. Coming from a Note 2 I never had this issue. All this results in an uneven experience when writing.

I read about other Sony's having this issue, wondering whether this is 'normal', because it surely doesn't feel like it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
No one has tested their haptic feedback?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I had an issue like that on .290? but haven't used stock for ages so cant comment further
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CEROSERDNA:
Ive had this problem too may I ask what firmware your running.* I was having this problem on .290 as well* have you upgraded your phone to the latest firmware? What is your device model?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
I updated to the latest firmware, 4.4.2, build 14.3.A.0.757. Did you manage to fix it? I talked to LordM about it and he says it's inherent to Sony Z Ultra. Others report differently.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I didn't say that(?), I said that I have the same thing with mine, and I haven't looked at it as something strange - until now. Isn't it normal? I can "fix" it by decreasing the vibration intensity from the keyboard settings, but is this a hardware issue? Software? I don't know, and I really don't care. It doesn't bother me one bit, but that's just me though.

I DO however remember when the Ultra got released, and people were complaining about the weak vibrator, but I, and some other people couldn't understand how people could say that, since the vibrator was and still is brutal as hell. Could it be that we simply have a better vibrator? Does the people with the weaker vibrator have a the "defect" vibrator? Who knows!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
Well, you stated "Hi, that's normal. It's just how the stock keyboard is made. You can adjust the vibration intensity in the keyboard settings". Inherent/normal... Anyway, it doesn't really matter, because some people find it weak/strong and others, like me, find it totally weird and different from Samsung. It does seem better now with the stock Google keyboard, will test further tomorrow.

Not sure about your last thoughts, but I do know that this must be the biggest 'vibrator' trololo
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's not even close to being anything like Samsung or any other OEM. You've probably noticed by now that Sony does things... a little differently :p They do some really great things, but then they'll also do some super weird stuff that makes zero sense. Love it or hate it :cowboy:

I just have to comment that picture, and you asked for this one: Yo mama... :laugh: I'll stop there, hahah.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gideonMorrison:
You're absolutely right, Sony is a little 'different' indeed. The ZU is quite a beast, very different from the same lame old Sammy phones. I hope Sony keeps improving!

Well, I reckon I'll just have to leave this here then hahaha... ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CEROSERDNA:
I lost the problem at .681 now i am on Nordic .757 with doomKernel on c6833. if you have a custom rom you are able to change vibration intensity.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You don't need a custom ROM. I'm on stock 757 (Nordic)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Hi Guys

Im thinking of changing from G S5 to an M8 (S5 is Sooo boring to use, its just an S4 really), but I do like a good quality camera.. so Im just curious to ask ..

Is the camera as bad as the reviews say and have the HTC Updates improved it at all?

If you own an S5, how does the M8 compare?

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jags_the1:
pretty silly reason to change a phone. S5 is as good as m8 so i suggest ,stick to it. Not really a upgrade and you will get bored of all phones , we all do.

and there are **** loads of comparison vidoes

www.youtube.com is your friend
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaiderAbbas:
I hate samsung and i bought m8 3days ago its the best phone i just love it pictures are awesome to specially in low light
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Its not really a silly reason at this point no... when you consider that Ive only had the phone 3 days, The Touchwiz overhaul is not as major as they promised and the videos on YouTube, which Ive watched many of, all seem to come from the first 4 weeks after release, of which most, not all, are from over excited fanboys or bought reviewers, and dont take into account the updates that have been pushed by HTC to date and if these said updates have improved the camera at all and also how the audio sounds without Beats Audio..

The S5 Camera, like the S4 LTE on release day, does have some focusing and noise issues in low light, but the youtube videos dont tell you that..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hate samsung and i bought m8 3days ago its the best phone i just love it pictures are awesome to specially in low light

Thanks for the input :)

But its mainly the camera, so If anyone can help me please.. Has the updates improved the camera
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorsk8r:
If your just going to use the pictures on your phone or for mms this phone is great (I previous owned a S4 and a Z1). There's also a mod on here you might want to check out?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobmannh:
There are entire threads about this topic, including one with dozens of pages of photos for you to look at, all tken with the M8. Whether the camera is good enough is completely subjective, so look at the photos it takes and see if they're good enough for you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersonicx:
To the OP, I know exactly how it feels to currently be torn in middle between sticking with the S5 or M8.

Now as for my opinion, since I owned both phones, Im currently on and Sticking the M8.

I originally bought the M8 from TMobile new the day it came out. At first I was very impressed with the built quality and the smoothness of the UI on top of Android (Sense)

But after about 3 weeks of playing with it and taking lots and lots of pictures, I decided I wanted to give the S5 a try. So I ended up trading my M8 on Craigslist, even trade, for a Galaxy S5 in same new condition.

Now after playing with the S5 and using the camera to the fullest extent and my daughter Pre K graduation, I was very impressed with the Galaxy S5 camera. Like the Note 3 it had the same bells and wisles except with a higher pixel count and a couple more features added. But in comparison to the HTC One M8, the camera do seem to be "slightly" more sharper and more realistic looking.

BUT

With the big over haul in TouchWiz the phone seemed to lag here and there, and speaking of camera, during my daughters graduation Im taking lots of Pics and 1080p video, the phone started getting very wam and prompt a message that said "Phone Over Heating, Camera Disabled". So my camera was disable during the graduation so I missed a couple moments to take pics and record video. Phone cooled down and the camera was back working again......

Long story short, I ended up sale that Galaxy S5 for 450 and used that 450 to purchase my HTC One back from the guy I traded it to so now I have my original M8 back.

M8 is a overall better experience. After using the M8 yesterday at my sons 1st birthday party since he turned one year old, the pitcures tookedn with the M8 look pretty dam good.

Even got compliments while my camera was out by people looking at the view finder as we were taking pictures. Not to mention the UI being 100 percent smooth and I also found the battery to last a whole lot better on the M8 vs the S5.

So thats my 2 cents! Hit me up on twitter if you have any comments or questions. [MENTION=2017072]FiberOptics[/MENTION]RLD
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Honestly getting fed up with this bs now. The camera on both the m7 and the m8 is perfectly good and takes good clear pictures. If you want crap hot photos that you can blow up to the size of house, I say go and buy an expensive camera.

This 4 mega pixel comparison bollox is a load of crap. They are ULTRA pixels NOT megapixels. Just like hd and uhd.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersonicx:
After using both phones, I can deffinetly say that both the M7 and the M8 take excellent pic and video in low light conditions.

From what I understand with the pixel count being lower, this allows for more light to be picked up.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwd3885:
i'm switching to the M8 from the S5 as well. S5 is a fine phone but the occasional lag is enough to annoy me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersonicx:
Yeah, after using the M7 -> Note 3 -> M8 - >S5 -> M8

I started to notice the high quality of HTC not only in the physicall hardware itself being the case of the phone and the screen and loud speakers, but I also started to see how the high quality of HTC Sense is vs TouchWiz. Even when compared to the skin on the LG G2 and other LG phones, the HTC Sense skin is just very light and optimized.

Deffinetly glad I was able to get my original purchased M8 back from Craigslist before it got traded off too far in the Craigslist world LOL.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
They are bigger better pixels therefore more light and more detail captured per pixel .

I went ahead and took a crack at banging out a user-friendly guide to installing Kit Kat on the Nook HD.

If you're looking for a guide, check it out. Hopefully I didn't make any show-stopper mistakes. (If I did, let me know and I'll fix them.)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
Looks good. I'm on 10.1.3 but may give KK a try.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] pezhore:
How have you been liking Kit Kat on the Nook? I'm looking for something to replace my old HP Touchpad for kitchen duties. Is it snappy? Worth the upgrade?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Robotech_Master:
It's perfectly responsive, bearing in mind that it's dual core, not quad core. Occasionally you run into a split second or so of lag when launching a program, but I've never noticed any input lag from moment to moment. (Unlike with my old Zeepad, where half the time it froze up when you were tapping on the keyboard.) As far as graphics intensive stuff goes, it streams media just fine and I'm able to run Plants vs. Zombies 2 on it pretty well. (At least, I was under Jelly Bean; haven't tried it since the Kit Kat upgrade.) I use this case with it.

If you can snag a Nook HD for cheap, by all means go for it. I'm not sure I'd pay the $129 for it new, especially if you're going to void the warranty by upgrading to Kit Kat anyway. But if you can find it under $100 on eBay or whatever, go for it. Great tablet for the money. Pretty sturdy, durable construction too.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Korgy:
It really is one of the best deals out there. Even a certified pre-owned HD that costs around $90 comes with a one year warranty.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Robotech_Master:
Of course, if you get one with a one-year warranty on it, you're effectively tossing that warranty out by putting Kit Kat on it. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ General] lmacmil:
Not necessarily if you can restore the original ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Robotech_Master:
Which doesn't help a lot if your Nook HD breaks in such a way that you can't restore the original ROM.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] jpisini:
Mine fell down a flight of concrete and steel stairs no telling what was on it as it was beyond shattered and that was with a case and screen protector. No problems getting a new one with the extended warranty
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Corkerman:
Why does it give me the error "cant mount /sdcard"? It's FAT32 storage and it won't let me access it
[Nook HD, HD+ General] Korgy:
Putting the original rom on it was simple. I had to do it when my battery was only lasting an hour or two. Took it to Barnes and Noble and it took less than 10 minutes and they gave me another one that is flawless.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] iRadio:

Hello,

you seem to be new at the android world.

There are a lot of high modificated stock roms with custom kernels out there.

For example:

Before you flash any of these, please read the instructions carefully...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mch277:
I'm aware of the OTA update next week that'll update me to Sense 6.

Currently displays in recovery:

Tampered

Unlocked

S-OFF

Currently on stock 4.4.2 rooted, no other kernel changes, etc. but the ROM I'm using has custom black boot screens added (literally just black instead of default white boot background).

Rooting is nice and all but getting tired and would just like to revert to pretty much locked bootloader, unrooted, factory condition, etc. and be able to also do OTA for future updates.

Any help is appreciated. Baby steps please.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mch277:
Anyone?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hafizimtiaz:
First, relock your bootloader. To do that, start your phone in bootloader mode, connect your phone to pc via usb cable and type "fastboot oem lock" on command prompt. Next, download the proper ruu exe file from htc1guru.com. By proper,I mean the one that matches your phones actual model number and custom id. Execute the ruu while connecting your phone to pc in fastboot mode. Follow the on screen instructions and when finished, you will have s phone that says re locked and s-off. You will get ota in this condition and will be able to install ota and upgrade to Sense 6.0 without any problems.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mch277:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2695749

Can I just flash that RUU in the link above? It should take me back to stock 4.4.2 with no modifications, stock recovery, and since I have an unlocked bootloader + S-OFF I should be able to get OTA's.

I'm just getting replies and finding info in other threads with different methods so I just don't want to screw up anything.

I'm running stock AT&T 4.4.2 but the person who uploaded the ROM used a custom black boot screen (black HTC background instead of white when the phone boots) and so I was worried that might affect things. Hence I thought I could just flash an RUU to go back to 100% stock AT&T 4.4.2 (+ unroot) and maintaining unlocked bootloader + S-OFF so I can OTA.

EDIT: Could I just convert it to a Developer Edition using the link in your signature? Will there be any problems with my AT&T SIM card? All I have to do is relock bootloader and flash the Dev. Edition ROM.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hafizimtiaz:
Yes you can flash the decrypted ruu. It is the same as using the ruu exe.

If you haven't changed your mid and/cid,then what you need to is just lock the bootloader and flash the ruu (zip or exe). You will be on stock with s-off which is fine for getting ota.

Yes you can convert to developer edition. The DE and the at&t version are the same hardware-wise (except DE have 64gb storage instead of 32gb on at&t version) and have the same radio bands. You will get faster Android upgrades with no at&t bloats.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mb_guy:
You may want to just try and apply the OTA when released. I'm not aware that S-OFF is a problem, I know an unlocked bootloader nor rooted isn't an issue. I got the Rogers OTA with an unlocked bootloader a rooted (by the way was still rooted after the OTA)

Just my 0.02
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hafizimtiaz:
My understanding is that, if there's any modification in system files, applying OTA may result in a bootloop/brick. I agree that rooted devices remain rooted after OTA. As the OP said that s/he us using a rom with modified boot animation, I suggested him/her to return to stock first.

Basically it's your access to everything those guys theme. It's not an auto updater or anything like that.... Just install that app and it's pretty self explanatory. Enjoy man. Ton of great stuff on there.

Make sure you turn auto update apps to OFF/Never in your play store settings. Can't have nicely themed apps and then have Google keep taking them away with their non stop updates lol

Already did that. So do I have to move the apps out of system and then flash the ones to replace it. I see how it works now. It's awesome. I think I had more use pushing the apps to system and rebooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Well it depends on the actual app and how they've set it up. Some you flash some you simply install like any other apk. I've only had to flash a couple myself and everything was handled through the flash.

Most of the ones I use just install like a regular apk so it's as easy as just uninstalling the previous version and then your good..

Sometimes you have to hunt down why a flash doesn't take or it won't let you install an apk but so usually not to often. Whatever works for you though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Yea I noticed I've had to move the app in root explore to my sd card and push it to system apps. Haven't had any luck with just the flashing part yet. Got something to play with though. I've used them before but forgot all about them until you said something. :beer:

I'd say grab Catlog from The Play Store and reproduce that FC and get in touch with the TBO guys in their thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
I grabbed the update on play store. I'll go in root explore and see if I can find the apk and move it to my sd card and then flash it see if that helps. Fingers crossed. Lol

My intention here was not to build something that folks would use, but rather to experiment with "animation", or moving things around as time, date, battery level, etc. changes.

This has 8 animated items.

The temperature, battery level and minutes just sort of click from one value to the next. I tried to use seconds for the minutes to make a smoother step, but it just does not work well.

The day of the week, hours, AM/PM, Month and day of month are more animated. The background numbers rotate into view and when the next increment reaches the static white value, it clicks over to the new value.

The hour and AM/PM are full circles with the values at their representative slots. The others move value in from off screen, then continue off the other side.

Most of these move in an arc, but the day of the month moves in a line.

Hopefully this will help some folks and give some of the more creative types out there some ideas for some cool new widgets.
