[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalMD:
IF you can set your camera to a mode that it looks like a storage device for your computer, then it should work fine as a storage device ONLY with the tablet and OTG. IF it needs a special driver to work on the PC, then then Android will not recognize it.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] des2105:
Connect DSLR camera to Tab3 8.0

Thank you, DigitalMD,

I will have to check into that. I know when I first connected the camera to the PC it did load a driver of some description but I don't know what. Until Samsung decides to grace us all with 4.3.2, perhaps I would be better off using my 7" net book instead of the tablet. Too bad but thank you again for your rapid and helpful response.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalMD:
Are you trying to achieve control or just file transfer? If you are trying to control the camera during shooting or view when in shooting mode you will need an app for Nikon control. When you connect a new device to a windows PC, it will search an online database of drivers and download a new driver if needed. Android does not work like that, for OTG there is a very limited set of devices it can recognize mainly , storage, mouse, keyboard

You might try DSLR.Dashboard or similar apps.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purefuel14:
Recently got myself a LG G2. Only issue I'm having is the person I'm talking to during a call can barely hear me (muffled and quiet). It works fine in a normal call regardless of the voice enhancement/cancellation being on or off. Problem only occurs with speaker. Sound is the same whether I'm talking in to bottom microphone or the top microphone. Phone is not rooted

I updated the phone a couple weeks ago. I remember using speaker in call with out an issue when I first got the phone. I can't remember if I updated to Kitkat and had it working. Or if updating to Kitkat has caused the problem

Also, NO sound appears to be sent when using Viber with speaker 'on'. However, speaker 'off' works fine

Android 4.4.2

Kernel 3.4.0

Software Version D80220a-AME-XX

Thanks in advance

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLMaros:
I've posted a couple questions threads in the past few days so I hate to throw another one up here but this one is killing me.

Everything seems back to normal on my note except the fact that it takes 3-5 seconds for my phone to unlock after entering my unlock pattern. Another bug it has is that it wont set a pin unlock, you can enter the pin you want twice and it tries to save it but defaults back to a swipe unlock, It wont actually save the PIN unlock. It seems like it's having trouble cross checking the pattern or saving the pin to a file ... if that makes sense

I'm running this rom, odexed with an nc2 modem - Towel rooted and safe strapped.

I've been doing a lot of research and tried everything I've found, nothing has helped so far.

I've tried removing the sd, forcing GPU rendering, increasing animation times in dev. settings, clearing cache and dalvik, taking the personal message off of the lock screen, disabling watchON.

any ideas here at all?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hilam_patel:
You can Try the following (It worked for me on Galaxy S4 - Now it is smooth as butter flow)

1) Long press somewhere on the home screen so that you get change wallpaper option

2) Go to all options 1 by 1 and change wallpapers for all options.

3) Finally do a change wallpaper for Lock screen and Home screen.

This will resolve the problem of a sluggish unlocking pattern.

Hope it solves the problem!!

[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
The time has come to sell my phone and move on to the next Android beast :) Rocking a Z2 and really liking it now that It's rooted. Just wanted to say thanks to the great OGP community on XDA for the support and modding fun.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
So you had the OGP for how long?

You think Z2 is a big step up? I doubt it very much but still happy to know your views
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
I've had it for about 7 months but I've switched between this phone and an LG P769 (tmobile) I used to own all the time.

Personally the Z2 is a step up because of the following:

Build quality is amazing and solid feeling - It's all aluminum frame and glass (got a white one) Feels amazing in the hand and reminds me of the hand held feeling of the LG Optimus G Pro. The materials remind me of my work phone (iPhone 4s) and something I've always admired about this iPhone model.

The screen on the Z2 is on par with the one of the LG - if not better.

4K recording (future proof) and great camera

Phone is waterproof

Speed bump over the OGP

Stereo speakers up front

With all this being said... I won and invitation to buy a OnePlus One and ordered it this morning. Not sure if I will give it to my wife, keep it or something else. Time will tell.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ePhonite:
I have lost the ability to connect to my Wi-Fi access point with SSID broadcast disabled after upgrading the ROM. With the original T-Mobile ROM my MDA could connect w/o any problems to the same access point. I can of course connect after enabling SSID broadcast but I'd rather not broadcast the SSID. WiFiFoFum can see the network regardless of the SSID broadcast setting.

Ideas..? Anything I'm missing..?

Solved:

Enable SSID broadcast on the access point, connect with the MDA to the access point, turn the MDA WiFi radio off, disable SSID broadcast on the access point. From this point on the MDA will connect to the same access point with the SSID broadcast disabled.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 3waygeek:
Another solution is to create the network connection manually in Settings/Network Cards. If you go this route, you don't need to turn on SSID broadcast on your AP.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ePhonite:
Thanx!

I know that and I did try it, but it wouldn't stick - it would say "available" then "connecting" and then revert to "unavailable." No idea why - the original T-Mobile USA ROM did work exactly the way you have described.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] helraiser:
Same. I tried connecting continuously to my wifi network and couldn't till broadcasting was enabled. After I turned it off, it worked well too.
[Sony Xperia ZR] karelb.:
A while back I rooted my Xperia ZR, backed up the TA partition, and flashed CM10.

To my regret, the camera performances aren't nearly as good as with the stock Xperia camera app.

So I was wondering if I could somehow restore the camera app, so I can use it alongside Cyanogenmod.

After googling a lot, the only solution I could find was to restore the TA partition.

Is this possible after flashing a different ROM?

Or does anyone know another solution?

Thanks in advance;)

I'm on CM11 now with Android 4.4.4

Tried standard camera first: rubbish

Tried Google Camera next: rubbish

Tried Focal camera: rubbish

Next, I tried to install the ported Xperia Z2 camera: couldn't even open app, just errors

I'm starting to think it's the hardware that sucks.

When taking a picture of a newspaper or a book page (using any camera app on 13MP), you can't even read the letters, too blurry..

Does anyone know what may cause it?

Hi, I read that anyone with a developer's account can access the developers' preview build of Android L, that was supposed to be available today, I have a developer's account (to upload apps to the market) but I don't see any build of android L, is this the required account? or is there any other type of account required? thanks!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evil_pro:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zwiebelchen:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saman0suke1:
Thank you all, maybe I'm getting too desperate :D I just wanted to confirm that my account is the right one, I'll be refreshing until it appears, thanks again!

EDIT: I believe being rooted would not be a problem at the moment of the installation, right? I know that I'll lose root after that, but as long as the actual installation does not give me problems, it's fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
Considering that the images will have to be flashed through fastboot, you'll probably lose root and everything else on data/system partitions (unless they don't wipe it, but I think it does).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDiS234:
maybe it will be problem to root new androi L cause I've read somwhere that there is a lot of security updates and also samsung knox in new android so we will see if it will be able to root :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
if it's a factory image it'll wipe the whole phone and root probably wont work until its updated to support L
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saman0suke1:
That's fine, I believe that flash through fastboot does not include a total wipe including camera folder and all that right? never done it that way, better be prepared. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
As long as you don't flash the userdata.img, all /sdcard data will be fine. You don't have to flash userdata.img to bump android versions! System, boot would do just fine :) (and bootloader if they bump it as well)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vortex1969:
Or you could just wait till a flashable zip is posted. Someone will have one up within hours of release.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saman0suke1:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Unless they changed the folder structure like they did a few releases ago - if they did, best to do a clean install.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
I'm backing up right now just in case.

Don't wanna mess with the installation script by flashing some things and not others (although there would be virtually no risk by flashing system and boot partition), but better safe than sorry, after all, we can just shove everything back when finished :)

Consider ir a backup routine, and you'll have an updated bk :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
That's an entirely different scenario. Each and everyone of us would need to wipe clean if that happens but usually a system and boot flash would do just fine :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
The N5 has been my FIRST of many, many, many Android phones and even Windows Pocket PC phones that I haven't felt the need to unlock/root etc. Everything has just worked great on it and I have always been able to do everything I wanted to do from this phone. I have been so satisfied with the phone that it has kept me away from XDA for a while. Don't know if that is a good thing or bad, lol. I used to be on this site for hours every single day and now I feel like I am light years behind in rooting. HA!

L has me interested though and I am contemplating unlocking my bootloader for it which just becomes a PITA with losing your data and adding things back and all that great stuff that takes so much of your time. Then if things suck you have to flash back to something else and the never ending process continues. The N5 has gotten me so much time back in my life but I feel like it might demand some of my time back to it. Oh I hate this stuff!!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saman0suke1:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think it might be smart to sit back for a little bit though and find out what is working and what is not from the early adaptors. I really need my phone to be reliable and hate to find out hours later after taking the time to do backups and restting the phone up that this and that is not working or is buggy.

Where I usually would have just jumped into something like the the second it was available I think I will take it a little slower and with caution. Also, learned not to be fooled by the people that say everything is perfect and there is no bugs. Lots of reading through threads usually always tell you otherwise...

Make sure you make an EFS backup ASAP and store it off the phone just in case. That will save you if it wipes your EFS information (IMEI etc..)

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] aironeous:
I received my email invitation to be one of the first alpha testers of the new Jolla launcher. I just installed it on my HTC One. It really is pretty, still getting used to it because it is very different than stock.

This is a launcher that mimics some parts of the Sailfish OS. It lets you get a taste of what it will be like so you can see if you would like to dive in and install the whole OS on your phone replacing Android.

The OS is only available for the nexus 4 right now but they will soon release a development kit so that it can be ported to many more Android devices. In the meantime we have the launcher. The beta for the launcher will start in august.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fvig2001:
Hi.

I currently own a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) and unfortunately I woke it up during lunch and was surprised to find that the screen now hates black and now it displays things incorrectly. It's still usable but ugly to look at. So I've read some reviews and it seems that the battery life is much worse and it's laggy even with 8 cores. So after more than 6 months, is this cellphone/tablet worth it now? I prefer the 10 inch notes for random sketching though but I normally do my art with a real Wacom tablet. I'm thinking of either suffering until the release of the next Galaxy Note 10.1 or possibly jump at Asus Transformer Book V or just jumping to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. I mainly just use my tablet for Internet and drawing on Sketchbook Pro.

If you are normal with a life and don't sit around all day and pick at everything , This tablet is the best out there for the money,,I have had mine since Dec 21013 and had no issues , I'm rooted and its stupid fast and does everything, Don't listen to the reviews on this tab, most of the bad ones are IPad goons and people with way too much time on their hands.

Doh! Didn't see the Maple Leaf the first time. I've always wondered that if a "friend" sends something like that (mine came in just a regular 8x10-ish packing envelope) to you in Canada, how closely would HM Customs examine it, and if the shipping would be crazy expensive?

Too bad about Best Buy- ours here have them (at MSRP, though).
