[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biustech:
I searched in G3 forum and didn't find nothing.

so my question is:

I have a G3 International D855 32gb and i'm wondering if we can install roms from other countries, mine was purchased in Netherlands and came with firmware version of D85510a.

In other countries they have already D85510f (India for example) D85510e (Thailand) and other countries with 10c, 10b

best regards

I've been looking for an app with real manual focus but I can't find any, I've tried FV-5 and couple others but none of them have actual manual focusing. I'm not looking for touch focus where you select the object you want to be manually focused, I want an app with some kind of slider where I can just manually focus like using a professional camera where you spin the lens to adjust the focus your-self. Anyone knows any app that have this option?

Thanks!

How come? Whats the difference between auto focus and manual focus? Auto focus just runs an algorithm that selects best focus it could find, I don't see a reason why you couldn't set this manually as a simple variable.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Because the apps themselves don't control the focus, the system does

My lg g2 mini stock camera app has manuel focus..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobreaka:
i dont really understand what youre trying to ask. you want an app to "manually" focus, but you dont want to touch to focus on a specific object? youre comparing hardware vs software when youre saying "using a professional camera where you spin the lens focus ring to focus"? . tapping on the screen to select a specific object to focus is technically in your term 'manual' focus. our phones dont have a dedicated hardware knob/switch for such control.

are you looking for something to take photos or shoot videos? if youre talking about photos, google camera already have this feature to select to focus.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howard bamber:
I've got focus control via volume keys on standard camera. Think it's due to an xposed module I downloaded. It's a while back but works great. Used it an hour ago
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats not a focus control. thats focusing on the background or foreground. and you can do that without a setting control, if you know how. manual focus is like on a real camera, where you spin the lens until youre focused on what you want.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeprimate:
Handy for some types of photography where you know where the action will take place - things like sports and weddings spring to mind.

You know that the player/bride/whatever will be at a specific location, and you don't want your camera wasting time trying to focus when you know you'll only get one shot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashwanthms:
That feature is available in Lumia phones as well. The manual focus really helps when you want to focus some objects which are very close to the camera. Auto focus and tapping on the object will focus the nearby object for a split second but again it will go out of focus. Manual focus will help in capturing macro images of such objects. I am also looking for such a feature in many camera apps, but could not find it. Hope someone creates an app :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rb69:
my Xperia Z2 a peculiar problem.

With SIM in place - I dont see 5 Ghz band wifi channels at all - I can connect only to 2.4 ghz without any issues all the time.

if I remove the SIM (I reside in Indonesia with Telkomsel SIM) - I am able to see the 5 Ghz band channels and can connect and use the internet 100%.

But with SIM in place - the band itself is not visible at all. I have tried with Band N and AC as well in this 5 Ghz range with no luck. My Mac connects very well.

another observation - when I do a full format and re-install the firmware - after selecting language with SIM in place - the 5 Ghz band breifly appears and vanishes

This was not at all a problem for me with Xperia Z Ultra.

What is that can be done to fix this issue as I need to connect to 5 Ghz band most of the time at work and home.:confused:

Hi all,

Searched under 'bluetooth' with no obvious joy.

When I turn on bluetooth I have to manually make sure that the device is discoverable every time if I want to receive via bluetooth. Is it posible to make the device 'discoverable' automatically when I simply turn bluetooth on?

Thanks.

Hello!

Unfortunatley ihave the same issue when i'm connecting using Stereo BT Nokia BH-501. The problem is that each time after the BT is switched off and then switched on i need to go to Bluetooth settings and make an update for it and save. Only ofter these steps it reconnects to Hermes (HTC TyTN) and starting to play sounds and music through BT

Is it possible to make it fully reconnect automatically after it is switched on and how?

Thanks!

VJVolubilis can force you into discoverable mode from a shortcut, so you can drop that into your startup folder, but it's not advisable to keep yourself discoverable unless required.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leepriestenator:
Hey VJ

I just tried that... I made a shortcut with the -bluediscoveron paramenter and removed the -status parameter. I dropped it in my Windows\Startup folder.

It doesn't seem to be working, When I turn on my BT, Dicoverable Mode is still OFF. However after, I enable my BT and then click on the shortcut with -bludiscoveron parameter, it works.

Is there anyway to have Discoverable Mode on even after I turn off my BT and then on again?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
If this is indeed the SDS problem and you were on firmware below 4.1.2 then yes. But other than that its hard to tell exactly, mainly guess work.

Since you had it idle and its not a result of a bad flash etc so the chances may well be high.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Samsung released a Sudden Death Fix via a patched Kernel and Recovery for devices Firmware Version: XXELKC onwards with the eMMC: VTU00M FW Rev: 0xF1 emmc bug issue this was before even 4.3 was released so it was fixed well before then.. But like anything else nothing is guaranteed.

It may not be this could be some other issue but I think this is not a software problem

[G3 General] scy1192:
These tests were run on an LG G3 VS985. Screen resolution was changed using the Resolution Changer Pro app.

Resolutions tested were:

* 2560x1440 @ 540ppi

* 1920x1080 @ 360ppi

* 1280x720 @ 240ppi

Here are my results

**Conclusion**

QHD results in approximately a 15% hit of graphics performance on the same hardware vs a 1080p resolution.

Also notable is that in AnTuTu, even at 720p resolution, the LG G3 scores less than the LG G2. At QHD, it dips below the Galaxy S4. My guess would be that this is because of LG's power-saving features preventing the SoC from being used to its full ability.

Also of note, I literally cannot tell the difference between 1080p and QHD on this display. Even 720p still looks really good, but LG's UI has some scaling issues.
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
well did you test it on battery?
[G3 General] Enddo:
We already knew that a QHD display with the Snapdragon 801 was going to give you less performance than a 1080p display with a Snapdragon 800 chip. This is old news and doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know

The real question is if running the device on 1080p/720p give you more battery life than 1440p. And if so, how much more

[G3 General] radeonxt:
thanks for the effort.
[G3 General] scy1192:
nah they definitely do mean something. Have you tried AnTuTu X? It prevents the clock speed from changing when it detects a benchmark running (aka "benchmark cheating", although I'm not too fond of calling it that for reasons), so it gets exactly the performance other apps get. Pretty sure LG just disables thermal throttling during most benchmarks, so 99% of the time you'll get the performance that AnTuTu X says you have rather than what regular AnTuTu says.
[G3 General] conan1600:
Turn off knock on and a few useless apps and you can make consistent benchmarks like this. This is pure stock, no root and not my highest run. Im even running a few widgets in the background.
[G3 General] Osseon:
Who would turn off knock on though? Its pretty much the whole reason the buttons are on the back.
[G3 General] conan1600:
I disagree. I like the back button placement. On side buttons I inadvertently always hit volume or power when using my phone. I would, and do, disable knock on as I do not find it useful, however knock on is a small thing, even with it enabled you will pull 35 to 36k antutu scores with proper settings, of course knock on will eat your battery.

I do not multi task on a small phone, there just isnt enough screen, so I set up a toggle for turning it on and off, I keep it off unless I need it which means it will never be on.

From previous lg phones I know quick remote will chew through battery and cpu if left on so I simply toggle it off until I want to use it. I do use that a lot.

I do not find google now helpful so it is off. I do find google search useful so it is on and ok google is enabled.

I don't use 3 billion widgets but I do have a weather widget and I run sync 24/7 with many accounts such as FB, DB, Etc. With just what ive stated even with knock on enabled you should pull 35k which puts this phone above everthing except the m8 on antutu x. Disable sync, uninstall cpu rape ware and your battery life and benchmarks will be even higher. Currently I have 65% battery left with 4 hours screen on time. Wifi enabled, low signal area. My way works for me.
[G3 General] witeboy07:
As an avid gamer. I definitely see the difference between All 3 resolutions. You must test fairly. Download same video in all 3 different resolutions.
[G3 General] danny_and_2:
What cpu rape ware have you uninstalled? Also do you use greenify or similar apps? 4 hours screen time seems impresssive if you have 65% left. :)

However I must say this phone sleeps like a baby, 9 hours since I'd pulled it out of the plug. 1% discharge wtf. :D
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
So you did the test wrong and may dump your results into trash can. Tests should be performed without charging connected for heating issues to make less impact on results and phone should be cooled before each test

Ill do a whole battery thread after im done playing.
[G3 General] rushless:
If mainly light use like calls, texting and local video playback it will not much, but anything like web and any games that try push to each pixel will. Gameloft is a good example, since usually have terrible scaling setup (the games behave at whatever the native res).

The advantage is for whatever uses the gpu much. A reason the UI is a little slow (not much IMO) is it is true Qhd graphics and that causes the gpu to sweat some. The mean of the 801 was designed for 1080p. The 805 is the first chip for Qhd.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Anandtech and other reviews that actually do thorough tests pointed out for light use the G3 has the same or better battery life as current devices. The killer is apps like a lot of Web content and games.

SOT is irrelevant unless itemized based on actual use, brightness, what radios are on and the signal reception.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ledzilla:
So, I mistakenly used Ez-Unlocker with 4.4.2 and bricked my GS III. Based on various posts found around here I was able to get it running again. However, no matter how many times I try to reset the phone, either through Odin or the Verizon repair utility, this is what I get:

[[http]] [[://]] www [[dot]] ledzilla [[dot]] us/images/Screenshot_2014-07-19-14-13-55.png

I've tried various methods I've found to resolve this, but the best I've managed was to delete a trio of apps from the phone with the name "Factory Mode" and "Factory Test", but all that accomplished was getting rid of the yellow text that persists across the home screen. I still got the the warning box at the bottom of the screen.

So, is there a way to completely fix this with the phone being on the latest firmware and OS?

Also, on a side note, I received a warranty replacement because I didn't realize it was EZ-Unlocker that caused the problem until I did it on the replacement, too. I was able to restore it back to working condition, too, and without the factory mode issue, except the same exact process caused the EFS data to get corrupted so now there's no IMEI. Here's a screen shot of the system data (there's no SIM card installed, so I don't know if that affects some of these values):

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ledzilla:
I should also mention that in order to resolve the issue I have rooted using Towleroot, and I installed Superuser for, well, super user rights. In conjunction with this, I also accessed the phone using the ADB shell and entered the following:

su
rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode

chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot

I was able to confirm changes to the files, but it effected no change on the situation. The yellow text did not go away and the "Factory Mode" message still appeared at reboot and shut off the WiFi.

For some obscure reason flashing didn't work for me the first time either but the second time (without even booting CM) it worked like a charm.

Maybe the bootloader is not fully opened yet on the first restart after "oem unlock" and needs another power cycle?

Are you sure you are on CM11S and not the "norml" CM? In other words; did you buy your phone from some obscure website like oppomart (also called "scalpers") or directly from oneplus.net via an invite?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AUDonOPO:
Thank you for reply! I didn't know about the scalpers issue until I turned to Oneplus support team asking why I couldn't update the phone, it is this support team who guide me to this website and told me that "China edition can be flashed with CyanogenMod (i.e. getting it installed), and a fresh installation will most likely resolve your problems and leave you with a perfectly functioning One." So following these teps I thought doing this. Did I?? I do not known much about all these steps and languages :( it's hard to me to do that all but I want to try!
