[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAndroidGuy1:
Hi,

Tomorrow my Galaxy S5 will finally arrive. I've already watched a few unboxing and review videos. Now my question is, can you use the fingerprint to lock apps like Whatsapp and Twitter etc. ? I've seen an app called LastPass. In this app it is possible to use your fingerprint as a password but it costs 12$/year. Is there any developer who could make an app like this for free?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudarshan9096699669:
No
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akalsemann:
You sure were quick there and also wrong. There is in fact a way to have fingerprint lock on custom apps

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
The changelog of 4.4.4 says the camera was improved or something. But I can't see any changes.

And does it affect only the stock camera?

Hope you guys can give me the info.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, it can only affect the stock camera.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
Ok. And what has been changed now? Can't find any article or information.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Sony infamously never release changelogs....
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
So we'll never know what has been modified. That's bad.

Why do they keep the information in the back? I want to know what improvements they made before I update their product.

Gesendet von meinem C6903 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Nothing bih or major...

Actually, Sony gives changelog but not detailed like we expect.

You can find what's new on sony.mobile when you select your device and find latest firmware build.

My guess would be that they optimised code, nothing major.

If they did something really interesting they would told us in every occasion they have ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
Makes sense. Thanks for the info! :)

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the Z1 camera even better. For example the noise. Do you think Sony would be able to reduce the noise the camera makes? That would be an awesome update.

Gesendet von meinem C6903 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
They are constantly working on that but low light photos are still bad, even on Z2.

True, in Z2 low light photos are better on manual settings but that must be better...

We will see....Sony knows how to build goid camera and camera firmware/software so I'm quite sure they will do their best to bring best software thet can - we have great hardware but we need code optimisation and image processing to be better...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xero315:
Your right
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ing005:
The reason that you see a lot of noises is because the image processing. They push the sharpness too high.

I think the real problem is they don't make all manual option like picture mode able to work in higher resolution than 8mp. iso only up to 800 and more. Itwould be awesome if we have option like in nokia cam app.

I hope at least they let us shoot RAW file. Im kinda hopeless about official 4k and 120fps now. sigh
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
The optimization for the cam will be minimal. But you should see a difference.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
The sharpness? When I take a look at the pictures from the iPhone 4, they are pretty sharp without much noise. I don't get it. Why does Sony bring a new device like the Z2 out instead of improving the Z1 as much as possible? Even the Z2 has problems with the noise.

I'm sure they won't give us the official 4k and timeshift. And the ability to use RAW images will be added to the Z2 or 3.

Gesendet von meinem C6903 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ing005:
If you use lightroom you will know why pushing sharpness too much cuase it. I don't know hot to explain because I am not professional but I often use lightroom for adjusting picture and I had experienced this problem by pushing sharpness too high so I guess it is.

Sorry for my bad language.

Camera in 4.4.4 starts faster and It doesn't freeze or crash like in 4.4.2.

I don't know about the quality though.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrchan01:
The Image quality greatly deteriorates when you update to 14.4.A.0.108 (4.4.4) comparing it to .761, version 761 photos are only grainy when I updated to 14.4.A.0.108 the Photos I capture are already showing noise its just like the Image quality when you unlock your bootloader I hope this issue will be fixed in the next update
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
I can't see any changes relating to the quality of the images. But wait...if my bootloader is open, the quality decreases?

Gesendet von meinem C6903 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrchan01:
Yes, the DRM keys will be gone due to the bootloader being Unlocked the image quality is Horrible but I think the other sony features is still present I'm not sure what are those but I'm sure the picture quality really is bad
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I have an unlocked bootloader and my pictures are perfectly OK, exactly the same as before I unlocked the boot
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
Do I have to lock my bootloader again or will this be fixed someday?

Gesendet von meinem C6903 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petalex99:
This is a great, big question for many users of C6903: if the quality of the camera is the same for locked and unlocked bootloader. But opinions are different. Finally I believe in your answer, being a name on XDA developers. Thanks.

Xperia Z1, rooted, unlocked bootloader, JB (KitKat brings me nothing, maybe troubles with camera!!!)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
This is only my opinion. I have never noticed a difference with xreality, bionz or any other image effect before or after unlocking the bootloader or even by turning these effects on or off.

They only "work" on the device itself anyway so pictures taken with the camera and uploaded to another device will not be effected.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adryanodej:
mine to , i don`t see any diference .. i have backing up the drm keys just in case but the pictures are just the same with or without unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrchan01:
I made a comparison with a photo taken by the previous firmware (14.3.A.0.761) and the latest firmware (14.4.A.0.108) attached below, the LEFT image is from .761 and on the RIGHT is the latest .108 you can see the difference on the noise level of the image (I suggest to download the image and see for yourself) notice the Left image has a lot of Noise if you zoomed the image you can notice it but on the Right image the noise is not visible
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luna447:
Is your bootloader unlocked? Thank's for the pictures. The new firmware seems to do a good job.

Nope, my Bootloader is Locked

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jcb_home:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GTAfinest:
and how do i go about doing that?

is it a hard procedure? amd is it easy to screw up?

i did a hard reset on the device and the problem went away, then after about a month or 2 of use again it seems to have started happening.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] new2city:
I had that problem after I installed the test bluetooth stack... probably a memory leak issue...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GTAfinest:
anyone have suggestion what i should do ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ozkaya:
I had the same problem too.. I installed Memmaid, and checked the notifications queue. There was a program I installed which placed itself to run when the device woke up.. When I deleted it the problem was solved. But be careful, just delete 3rd party software entries. I guess this is easier than uninstallling them one by one. After spotting the problematic software, you can consider uninstalling it. Hope this helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] new2city:
well, you did do a hard reset right? That should tell you what software you installed that caused this, that is if you do your app installation one by one...

Another advice given to me is to get a task manager and monitor if any process/app take up too much memory..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GTAfinest:
the only apps i have installed are:

SPB Pocket Plus

SPB Weather

MemMAID

Resco Photo Viewer

Batti

Smartskey

Eten Dialer Skin

NFpencil - some nothing drawing/sketch application

it gets really annoying, when i do a soft reset it starts off with 22mb of memory by the end of the day or next morning its down to 18-17-16mb which is usually when it would freeze.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoseIlla:
1. Hold volume down and the power button to shut your phone off completely.

2. Turn it back on by holding volume down and the power button for 3 seconds and then releasing.

3. Select recovery from your bootloader, following the directions on the screen to make your pick.

4. Make sure you factory reset your phone.

5. Reflash your ROM.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashinde1001:
thats not what i am asking..

actually i am trying to flash stock firmware on my phone..an i am stuck in the second step in that thread..i am asking for that only..!!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alresave:
You need to open a terminal window, a command prompt or however you'd like to call it. I suppose from your last sentence that you're trying to double-click mfastboot, it doesn't work that way, you type the commands from the post you referenced in the terminal window, mfastboot will not open a window when it is executed.

To open a 'terminal window / command prompt' on windows, open start menu and in the search field on the bottom left type cmd and press enter.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoseIlla:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SbM_:
Sorry but knowing how to use a command-line interface and such is basic computer knowledge and a prerequisite for flashing. You'll have to learn. Find a tutorial, it's not that difficult.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
Sorry to say that, but if you lack even basic knowledge of command line usage, then you shouldn't even try messing up with ROMs/recoveries/kernels and so on which are farm more complicated stuff.Yes ppl have to learn and best is by trial and error, but if you can't afford to lose or brick the phone, then you should't try either :>
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoseIlla:
Listen, you can't possibly have both stock and custom recoveries installed. If you haven't learned to differentiate between stock/custom recoveries and/or the bootloader during the flashing and rooting process and you can't figure out how to run terminal/cmd commands then you need to find someone MUCH more knowledgeable than you are to help you with your phone.

There's almost no way anyone here can communicate a simple explanation of how to fix your phone without holding your hand throughout the whole process.

May I ask how you found out about this site/flashing your phone and why you were trying to go back to stock to begin with?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoseIlla:
The Moto G is prone to all sorts of little problems, most of which gradually grow into system instability and performance issues. Generally these are fixed with a simple factory reset, but for some reason that sometimes fails to help. I was having a lot of trouble with my phone, overheating, aforementioned performance and stability, etc... and a factory reset seemed to help, but as time went on and I used my phone, they would return.

My last problem, about 4 or 5 days ago was that my phone just constantly kept resetting itself, in addition to the UI crashes I was having before that. After desperately trying to factory reset and clear the cache and all sorts of stuff, I got nowhere. It would hang up at the factory reset process and just keep going forever. I eventually decided to use the reformat option in TWRP and now everything is great. Time will tell if it holds, but it seems solid.

The major concern I have right now is the root cause. I think that many Moto Gs were shipped with bad memory, which I will test when I look for/find an app for it, which as anyone experienced with computer repair would know can lead to all of these issues and even data corruption, which I think is what might be causing these weird issues. So if anyone has anything to add or correct me on, please be my guest. But for all of you out there struggling with these bugs, give it a try and see if it helps.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugoftee:
While sitting in the airplane last week I rebooted my phone and couldn't correctly remember my encryption passphrase. I tried different permutations when suddenly (I later found out after two 30s delays) my phone rebooted and factory reset without asking me or giving any warning. Is this normal for Android 4 or is this a Sony "feature"?

I find this to be a massive usability fail. I probably would have remembered the passphrase in the end but the data is gone forever.

Well I was messing up with, obviously, things that I didn't know about. Seems like Android tweaker 2 made my phone to this state. I was concerned that I have all backed up by Titanium backup but I was wrong. I backed up my apps, not system. I AM still concerned that I have backup somewhere, but no say I can find it in recovery (I navigate, search, etc., but no backup) Well my phone is Prestigio pap3400duo,running stock kernel, no custom ROM, didn't unlock the BOOTLOADER,. This happens to me for the second time in 3 days, I can't send my phone to repair again (it is rooted but they can't turn it on to see so they always repair it). I am ashamed to take it to store again ☺. only someone retarded can destroy his phone 2 times in 3 days.

Hi I've been reading a lot of horror stories about screen alignment issues, faulty keyboards and A2DP not being up to par. As I use the screen a lot [obviously]! and A2DP as well. I was wondering if these issues have been addressed in the latest ROM updates or batches.

--

As I will be purchasing this device [probably the dopod 838pro] out of my country [ehem we still don't even have the dopod 838 here officially, I live in the Philipines] I am sure that warranty and service would be a PITA if ever I get a lemon or a unit with the buggy screen and/or keyboard and/or A2DP, I'd probably have to send it over to Singapore [which handles dopod here in Asia, well the English versions atleast] and that would really suck big time. I saw a fix to the screen alignment issue but it required opening up and doing some slight mods to the unit which void the warranty and honestly I don't think I can do the mod. So Hermes users do you think it's safe to buy a Hermes now or should I wait a little longer...

--

I'll be off to HKG this Friday [10/20/2006] and any info/advice/help will be appreciated. Greetings from Manila, Philippines :)
