[LG Optimus G (International)] Adooda:
Hey guys so I have the E971 I love it really I am using ported kitkat paulicat rom and I really love the LG G series

the thing is I don't know if I should buy the LG G3 or not? I can afford it in good price

and the thing that offical kitkat haven't arrived to the E971 bothers me
[LG Optimus G (International)] luisoman2000:
I would say go for it. The generation jump alone is worth it, plus if you can get it for a good price then you should take the opportunity.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nchc:
Personally I wouldn't buy anything until seeing whats going to occur with 64bit. And i was kinda disappointed with the LG-E975 performance after coming from galaxy S1. Other than camera and lte/4G, LG-E975 is not massively faster than SGS1 (i dont play games). What makes a phone great is its development community that continues to find ways to make a phone better and up to date with current android version. I think we have a great dev community for LGOG. A G3 is going to do the same things as LGOG, but slightly faster.
[LG Optimus G (International)] patalao:
Really...

If you think the G isn't fast enough compared to SG1 why do you compare the G3 to the G.

The difference between this 2 is even little than the G compared to SG1.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nchc:
In specifications, yes there is a big difference. However, in my experience of how i use a phone those specs dont convert to a great difference in daily use. Its kind of like buying a new car, its nice and you drive it faster to begin with. After a month or so you drive it the same as your old car and get to the same places. Your phone carrier keeps the internet at relatively the same speed too.
[LG Optimus G (International)] patalao:
That's why I said that the difference between the g3 and the G is even lower,so there's no point in comparing the 2, in your case of course.

If you don't benefit of the features of the phone then there's no point for you to spend much money on this
[LG Optimus G (International)] igli83:
if you have money to spend why not :)

but it's not a good reason to change phone if the uptade does not come. IMHO :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Adooda:
you are all guys right, the thing is that the knock on/off feature can be really useful to me since I use the phone a lot during meetings and the thing is I don't the LG will continue updating the LG OG anymore and the G3 can stay updated for 2-3 years ahead :)

but I don't know If I should wait for LG G4 or get this one that's my question :D

anyway thank you a lot
[LG Optimus G (International)] Kevinjoa:
Trust me or not, you won't ever have 2-3 years support, maybe a year and an half, I would wait an half year or even a year and then decide to buy a new phone. ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
FWIW, my biggest issue with G3 is its size. Performance and functionality definitely gets improved with each generation, and there is no reason for not getting the best if you can afford it, but the the whole "bigger is better" trend is just driving me bonkers. I mean, with every new flagship from any OEM, the phones get bigger and bigger. G's size is perfect for me. G2 is marginally bigger (more if you add a case), but still manageable. That would be the largest form-factor for me to use comfortably. Everything bigger (and G3 is quite noticeably bigger) is just unreasonable for a phone, and getting close to a tablet territory. I never understood WTH a "phablet" is. There is no such thing in my book -- you can't sit between two chairs, you just have to put your a$$ on one or the other. Anyway, just my $0.02 worth...
[HTC One Mini] iElim:
Last night I got a software update for my HTC One Mini ( Att branded ) and it somehow bricked it. I tried to manually flash the ROM but I keep getting error 99, and it says security fail and update fail. I have tried to s-off, when updating it went back to s-on when I had previously s-off'd the device. But what ever I do fails. Was wondering if there is any way of recovering the information off of the device or if I am completely screwed. Or even getting the device back to working condition.
[HTC One Mini] Andyt95:
does it boot into bootloader? If you can get it into fastboot and execute fastboot commands over USB, there will always be a way to unbrick your device

I was trying to mod my camera following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2778570 but then my video camera wasnt working. I then tried to instal another mod because someone said that fixed their issue which was the same as mine (video causing force closure). http://www.droidviews.com/jishnus-camera-mod-for-lg-g3/

What now? I just want to be able to shoot nice photos and videos :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
do a factory reset
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BioVolt:
The jishnus camera mod is what I used and it is working perfectly.

I also had camera fc first time I tried it, then I read carefully, copy all the files, change permissions, but the one thing I missed was "delete the LGCamera .odex" file.

So once I deleted that file, rebooted, and everything was/is working great!

Hope you get it right, let us know.

Hello @ all

I get a new Headset from Sony DR-BT20NX.

It works nice with the telephone, but now I also want to play my music.

I tried to install the cab from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=263735

But only the Bluetooth headset has a new entry in the Bluetooth-device-folder.

"Wireless stereo"

But nothing happend.

I did softreset, and on/off and so on...

But I have the feeling, that something is missing.

And what is AKU2, and where can I get it for my XDA NEO with german O2-properties

Thank you very much,

Peter
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Shylock:
Download VjVolubilis application, and install on the device. After turning BT on, press the AGOn icon and the audio output will be transferred to the BT headset.

NB. For me only works if Volubilis is installed on device not on storage card. My headset is Motorola H500.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Vipolda:
Hi, thank you...

The tool is great,

but no way to enable Audio-Gateway.

When I click on it, it takes a while and then the message appears:

- Bluetooth On

- AG Audio failed

:(

Maybe, there is something missing on my device???

Nobody here with the same problem?

Thnx Peter
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Shylock:
I really don't know why it is not working for you.

The only thing that comes to mind is either headset incompatibility, or the fact that I had added a2dp to my AKU2.0 Rom before installing VjVolubilis.

Maybe you can try to install a2dp if not already installed.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] zoo:
I don't think it is related to a2dp. I was using VjVolubilis for Skype calls without any problems long before I installed a2dp on my AKU2 rom... Maybe its a hardware problem?...

:confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] theone3:
I have tested this. You just need to go into the bluetooth preferences for your device, enable 'headset' and disable 'wireless stereo'. The sound quality is terrible in comparison to the A2DP module. Don't expect music out of it.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillytemptation:
Hey I'm interesting in getting the xt1080m droid maxx. I read that all of them are sim unlocked, but then I came across an ebay listing that said

Is this a common thing or just a special case?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
This probably means that phone is carrier locked in US. You cannot use it for T-mobile, AT&T etc.

However, this is unlikely and if indeed it is true, then it is an exception.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] kiwi_radical:
I've seen a lot of posts bemoaning the fact the S5 camera has no manual shutter speed settings, there's a solution....

CameraFV5 offers manual speeds and a lot more besides

Also has a companion Video app CinemaFV5

Both are available on Google Play.

Oh, and I have no connection with the developer, I'm just a happy user....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ShadowLea:
I can confirm this as a photographer. FV5 is wonderful. Now we just need a better CMOS in the phone....
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] yahyoh:
sorry to disappoint u ive been testing this app since long time and manual shutter control never worked :/
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] kiwi_radical:
Works fine for me...

I;m not sure what's happening with yours but it works fine for me, including the custom shutter speeds...just checked again with 5 and 20 second exposures...definitely working..
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] pr1vate piles:
Just given the app a try. Manual shutter control did work. Will give this a play, thanks for posting.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Kriomag:
but manual shutter is not working, also on s4 and s3 it did not worked. no matter what exposure time you set it is always standard time, if i set 10 seconds image should be too bright but its almost black like in stock camera (dark room)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] imrankw:
Manual shutter doesnt work

I agree with Yahyoh as well. Doesnt work on my G900F S5 as well. In fact, it if I select, say, 1 second shutter, the shutter appears to remain open for 1 second but there is no difference on picture quality.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Blue1k:
Ya doesn't work. Manual speed doesn't really affect shutter times. The output is also limited to 2 MP. Would be nice to have a real option like in one plus one camera.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] kubmar:
There's no shutter right now..

This thread might be one month old but still shows up on top of google when looking for samsung camera shutter speed, so I decided to clear some stuff up.

1. Manual shutter speed means that you can control how long your shutter is opened and thus affectt amount of light comming into it (= makes making night photos easier but might require a tripod).

2. Google added new camera api with Android 5.0. This API allows for manual shutter and shutter control and RAW file saving, HOWEVER phone maker must still update camera firmware for it to work.

3. Only few phones with Android older than 5 had those manual options, im speaking about those huge camera-phone hybrids like samsung galaxy camera for instance. So if you do not have android 5+ then there is NO real shutter control or focus control on your phone.

Now lets go to FV which is wonderful piece of software:

1. It is first android app to support Lolipops camera features, however for those features to work camera firmware must be upgraded.

2. Almost no one upgrade their camera firmware as of yet, FV manual options work only on Nexus5 and 6 at the moment. And this is a huge letdown and dissapointement. Another dissapointement is apathy from android community which does not seem what a great camera features they are missing because of oems lazyness.

3. If you do not have updated camera firmware then FV will enable a 'false' shutter mode, which is just capturing images from screen preview (thats why theres 2mp or so size limit) and then mixing them up together using image processing techniques - this is nowhere near how real shutter works.

4. Only time when you have a working shutter and manual focus is when you have android 5.0 phone with camera firmware that supports those changes, which are only few right now - nexus 5 and 6, maybe one or two other but for sure not our galaxy s5 ( I have s5 with official 5.0 and it does not have those features)..

I'm saying this from ex-windows phone user perspective, who is really dissapointed in how android develops at the moment. I've had windows phone and they have those features for at least 2 years now. (But then Nokia/MS used to practice dirty tricks as well, like in order to make new phones more appealing they reduce max/min possible shutter speeds on older phones).
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Salim.Keady:
Thanks for these usefull info
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Kilowog01:
Does anyone have any method to enable the shutter speed manual and the manual focus?any mod, rom, flash or something?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jahanzzzeb:
I was reading up for my wife's GS5, I tired the app before reading above comment on my Nokia X2 DS. Custom shutter seems to work I tried with 5 seconds and 10 seconds.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Kilowog01:
but you cant make 1/8000s :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Xanode:
its not real shutter speed, with proper shutter speed control as in a DSLR, the shutter opens and stays open for the time set, In FV5 is just takes a series of pictures very fast and stacks them, amounting to no difference in exposure, just blurriness.

So a 5 sec exposure in a very poorly lit environment still comes out near pitch black instead of properly exposed

Reading reviews I always see them speaking aabout a lag compared to say HTC one m8

I was wondering if it improves on art
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcanexvi:
It definitely helped me. I was having some terrible keyboard lag that was mostly resolved by switching to ART
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bholyk:
Also helped me a great deal. Most of the lag was gone with animations set to zero and switching to nova. Changing to art then made it nexus 5 smooth for me
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
There are reports of ART messing with Bluetooth audio though. But it's been said to help with UI performance, yes
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asonenine:
ART pretty much eliminated the UI lag for me. It was within tolerable range before the switch, but it's pretty much gone with ART. I would certainly recommend giving it a try.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
At the risk of angering a lot of people on here I wish to put forward the view that 99% of the increase in performance people believe they get on ART is just placebo at this time.

The ART build on the G3 is the ART build that came with android 4.4.2 - this is now very outdated and in no way reflects the power of ART on the Android L. There are various articles and youtube videos showing that there are virtually no differences between dalvik and ART on android 4.4.2 and indeed most top developers recommended (and still do!) that you don't use ART until android L.

In terms of real world experience, I have had my D855 since release day, I spent one week on Dalvik, then one week on ART, I was amazed by the performance increase (I tweeted about it a lot!) then I switched back to Dalvik for the last 4 days and I have had no drop in performance.

Anyone who has spent a lengthy period on ART I implore you to switch back to Dalvik for a few days, you will be surprised by how little the differences actually are.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Protagoras:
Exactly my experience. I was happy with ART then I swiched back, still happy :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
I've been an advocate of ART since 4.4 KitKat. On my nexus 5, ART makes multitasking faster than when using Dalvik. I also see a little less stutter when scrolling through pages with a lot of 'post' type elements. This isn't a night and day comparison, but it is definitely noticeable on my end. You can say it's a placebo, but in my eyes, there is a micro-stutter on Dalvik when pressing the multitasking button as well as when switching to another app.

I'm not saying you're wrong and demanding that I'm right. It's just been my experience. I switch apps and multitask a lot, so it's very noticeable for me. I don't see any benchmark improvements, I don't see any increase in battery life, but I do see a difference on my Nexus 5.

I'll give the G3 a week or so on Dalvik before I make the switch though. It depend on how often I see this UI lag that everyone has been talking about. I'll be getting my G3 sometime today. Hopefully before lunch

I should note that I don't sacrifice anything when using ART. All of my apps work on ART just like they do on Dalvik. So it's not like I'm losing anything by using ART instead of Dalvik(on my N5)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesky:
I did just that because I wanted to use Xposed and it's Lag City everywhere!! The slowness is really getting on my nerves.. maybe it's time for a factory reset.. :(

Let's hope Xposed runs on ART in the very near future...

*edit*

I found the reason for the lag, it was xPrivacy! once I got rid of it, the lag improved quite a lot. Not as good as a brand new phone but much better than previously. Interestingly enough xPrivacy didn't lag my note 3 at all..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seboj:
I ran my D850 on Dalvik for the first day. It seemed a little laggy.

Switched to ART on the second day - thought I saw a small improvement, but it could have been placebo. Installed Nova and froze a bunch of the bloat.

Here's the kicker: I then installed Xposed and used the D850 for several hours before I realized that it had switched back to Dalvik. I never noticed a drop in performance. I would argue that changing the launcher, installing Xposed mods, and the G3 TweaksBox, made a much bigger impact on performance than ART.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcanexvi:
This phone also takes a much longer time than normal to "settle" in. I was having terrible keyboard lag the first day which slowly let up over time. Now a week and a half later I don't have issues with it but I did switch to ART on day 2. I don't have any apps that aren't incompatible with ART so I won't be switching back. All I know is I lagged like a ***** the first day and a half and switching to art gave me a bit of speed over time. Now it's flawless. Would it be the same with dalvik? Maybe. I'm not willing to try. I need the phone for work and I type long emails and it was horrendous before.
