re: twrp recovery

Sure, it's easy to get TWRP for your device.

Here is the download link for the latest TWRP for N900T:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.0-hltetmo-4.4.zip

Just flash this in recovery mode.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FormeriPhoney:
Hey thanks. I found that file and all is good. Just flashed latest will03 slimkat

I did notice that this is the bootloader I have after downloading phone info app per a xda member recommendation.

Should I have upgraded to that NF1 first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: NF1

NF1 is strictly optional, it's really not even an android os

upgrade, the firmware will still remain 4.4.2 just like you

have right now.

Unless you are having issues with the phone I would suggest

not to upgrade to NF1 or anything else until a newer than 4.4.2

android firmware becomes available.

Good luck!

At the launch of the device was discussed a lot about the quality of photos taken in 20MP and 8MP where 8Mp said it had more detail and color that pictures taken with 20MP. By way of doubt, I always use to take my 20MP photos. I wonder if it came to a conclusion on which is better?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
The closer you are to the maxium of the cameras capability the worse the quality

Lower MP= less noise, better bitrate n quality
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Ie 8Mp is better than 20MP!

I can not see where this makes sense!

What about 15MP ?!?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Is this only for camera phone sensors? My 20Mp Cybershot gives way better pictures at 20Mp than at lower resolution?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
If your talking about cybershot profetional cameras then resolution doesnt matter, noise, quality, sharpness is the same across all

Its just mobile phone cameras which effect with picture resolution
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
Ahhhh OK. I wonder how long it will be before phone cameras are as good as proper cameras. Its annoying having to buy and carry around two devices.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Not realy, 2MP is a 1080p shot, and using manual with the right settings with Z2 literely almost looks as good as a profetional camera
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
When you want to get text, 8mp looks better than 20mp

15mP = 16:9 crop of 20MP
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
So if I take a trip, take pictures of nature, landscapes, family, etc., would you recommend me 8Mp??

Question on details, colors, sharpness ... 8Mp is better than 20MP? I've tried to take the same picture at different resolutions and I can not notice a difference! Via doubts left in 20MP!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
This is a subtle one, If you zoom in a little the 8MP will look better but if you zoom in more the 20MP will reveal more structure, but if you zoom in still further the details in 20MP will look more blurred. if you look at ISO charts on gsmarena for Z2 you will see this. Text is more clear in 8MP than 20MP.

20mP means bigger prints possible or little more zoom but not too much

pictures of nature. landscapes in 20MP

family in 8MP

family with nature in the background in 8MP as they are the subject

scene mode shots are all 8MP unless you use mods

Where/What is the subject in the shot ? if its in the foreground you can get way with less resolution and it will look better. This is the strategy if you have 4mp HTC one. You must go closer to your subject then zoom is not required.

8MP will be sharper than 20MP but will not allow to zoom as much.

3.5MP will be sharper than 8MP, if no zoom necessary then use 3.5MP for better shot.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
It's totally different than I really thought! Of course, I am aware that the sensor counts a lot, but I thought the more MP image would have more details, sharpness and colors! I'll try to take pictures and see the difference!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drlemi:
Try 2MP in low light, you will be suprised.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
it is counter intuitive. The bigger sensor with over sampling helps to make better lower resolution pictures.

The thing is oversampling is only there in auto or scene mode. In manual there is no oversampling at lower resolutions.

I always wonder if there is some over sampling software on pc, if so then you take everything in 20MP and just resize on the pc.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
One Twelve, could you explain me what exactly is "oversampling" and what it does?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
simple explanation is when there are more pixels it is easier for the software to estimate where the edges are and clean them up and reduce noise so the photo looks sharper when reducing the resolution. What you get is a better approximation. See this

post

.

But there is a trade off between sharpness over depth of detail with lower resolutions.

This is a resize. Does it oversample though ? that means looking at neighbouring pixels and making a better pixel out of them.

I've read this thread and I've got some instructions with what I'm trying to do but I just can't get popup and zooper to play nice.

I've got a zooper widget that in the layout I've selected a rectangle and chosen the "Module on Tap" option and selected a shortcut for a pop up widget that I created.

The pop up widget works if I create a shortcut on my homescreen.

Hi everyone, last night my friend dropped his Xperia U from a chair to the floor, and now the screen is all blank, it light up but nothing shows up, and the phone works on the background, you can hear the sounds, and the vibrations of the touchscreen

I tried to open it up and see if something was unplugged, but everything seems to be fine, any advice??

Is there something I can do, before taking it to a Repair Service?? It will be cheaper just to buy a new phone??

Thanks in advance n_n
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SRV Rockable:
So this a hardware problem....it can only be repaired by service center...so just take it there... If you are rooted then try to unroot it...but it's not necessary...I mean ofcourse after rooting you loose your warranty...but don't worry take it there..tell them that it was an accident and if they ask about rooting and other stuff just act dumb like you don't know anything..I hope everything will workout just fine :p
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blxckcard:
Hi I am on 4.4.2 stock rom rooted. All of a sudden the multitasking key on my S5 when held no longer brings up the menu in any app or home screen it just opens the multitasking as if I pressed it instead of holding. Also, I can no longer take screenshot via pressing the home button and power button at the same time as it just opens Google now. I have home2 launcher installed to open Google now instead of svoice but this does no longer works as well. I am not sure how the problem occurred out of the blue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
First, you have to distinguish between the key failing to work per se and a key that works fine but does a different action than you expected. If you meant the latter, then simply reassign the function that you prefer to the key.

You said that you had a third party launcher change a key action which no longer works. So go back to your custom launcher settings and reinitialize that setting again. If your app doesn't let you adjust those settings, then reinstall the app to have your key preference set again. Or use an app like xposed to remap the key function.

Another example that you cited was the "multitasking key". That isn't a standard label, so it's uncertain which key you are referring to, but probably you mean the left soft key, located to the left of the home button. Test it by dialing *#0*#

Then Sub key on the hardware test menu

Inevitably the test will show that the key works fine and you just need to remap it's function.

Likewise with your screen shot issue. Go back to whatever app setup that key combination to take a screen shot with those two keys and reset it again.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blxckcard:
Thanks for the reply, how do you go about remapping the softkey. The screenshot issue has nothing to do with a third party app I have uninsulated all launchers and used the stock touchwiz launcher and the problem persists. All buttons work fine for around 30 seconds after I boot then they start acting as previously mentioned which leads me to believe it's an app that has somehow changed the functions of the hardware keys. I just wanted to know if anyone had a clue what's causing it as I have tried and it is driving me up the wall.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Please use paragraphs, those walls of text are hard to read.

Agreed that it sound like apps loading after boot are customizing the key functions in ways that you don't like. You can disable or uninstall as many apps as possible and add them back one at a time to see which ones cause problems. Or, as mentioned previously, use xposed framework to remap the key functions.

You're hoping for a short cut in having someone name what specific apps are involved. That's a long shot at best that someone would just happen to know. And you should have at least listed all of the apps on your phone to narrow it down.. or help jog someone's memory.

Home key and app swap soft key not working

I have a galaxy s5 and just updated to lollipop 5.0 and then the home key and app swap key stopped working. Also it was running very slowly and I thought maybe it was because I had 384 apps installed (11 gig). Anyway it was driving me crazy but I didn't want to perform a factory reset. Too many programs into to lose..

Can someone please help me figure out what's keeping my phone awake. As you can see my screen is only on very little but my phone is turning on quite a bit. This happens a lot unless I'm connected to wifibfor an extended amount of time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Probably Google Now and hotword detection. Also do you have WiFi "Scanning always available" on?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saenchai:
I have a related problem and didnt want to open another post. Not sure, maybe its better to do that? Dont want to steal topic.

Also, im sorry but i cannot provide battery tesing app results since im not allowed to root it...and as far as i know root is need to detect wakelocks on kitkat.

But i can provide an error report. Maybe that helps the pros. This happens on a fresh Nexus 5, without any apps besides the preinstalled gApps.

But not constantly, it didnt happen the last 2 days before. Every time it happens it is after a longer period of use. For example if i dont use it a lot and manage to come 2 days with the battery cycle and then charge the mobile, it happens after charging. But it never happened yet when i use device a lot and charge it more frequently. But that can be a coincidence too, dont let you irritate by that now. 4.4.4 Android. But sure is that both times, the only 2 times, it happened right after pull out the charger.

Should i turn off the "keep WiFi on during sleep"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saenchai:
Depends on what you want to use when screen is off. It just means that wifi is alwayys on. If not, if your phone goes into standby mode the 3G connection takes over. If you have no special data rate you can let wifi on. Your active time is pretty normal for a phone. If auto-sync is on and google now and all that, maybe facebook or whatsapp or even more. Newsapps that push all that does this.

What i would more worry about is your signal. Its very low and probably uses alot of battery. If i recheck your pic i would probably really better let Wifi on if your at home at least, so your 3G connection doesnt always have to work so much. Of course all this is only if you want to have internet...if you know you wont use it anyway, turn it off.

Until its not like me screen above i would not worry too much.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krolla03:
I have google now turned off it was doing way to many wakelocks. I do have hotword on but if I'm correct it only listens when the screen is on. I'm having an issue when the screen is off the phone still keep a waking up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
by the looks of it, its your apps and setup most likely. but its fairly normal, not that many wakeups/wakelocks as many others have. wakelocks are how our phones work, generally they are normal and expected. system apps/processes and user apps create them. only when the process thats associated with the wakeocks get stuck or run amuck, is when they are bad. and yours arent stuck, nor amuck.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krolla03:
Yeah I don't have many wakelocls but my phone is still awake 20% and the battery menu shows that the phone is waking up quite abit
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Low signal data, Google Now location based cards and Battery Saver or High accuracy mode. This combination gives me the same awake lines as seen here.

Technically having the WiFi on (or "always scanning") should help so it's not solely reliant on the weak data signal, but it doesn't seem to.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krolla03:
I have google now turned off
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
being awake 20% of the time is not much. if you have apps that get notifications, check locations, or are just designed to occasionally check stuff, those are the one thatll cause most the wakelocks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Guess it's just the WiFi locations in general. When on WiFi it'll rarely wake the phone only data. Google Search then shows more wake time so I figured it'd be Gnow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
See a comparison I did here, both with Battery Saver mode on. When using data the phone wakes constantly in its attempt to resolve location based information. In theory, having the WiFi chip enabled should help but it doesn't seem to do much.

Thanks for the response. I did a clean install. This was my first rom other than bean's, since I used the beans method to come over to the rooted KK. Before that I was on 4.3 rooted running clean rom. I was disappointed to find out that Scott had stopped supporting his work there, but glad to move on to KK and find these new roms.

I did install the app you mentioned. The biggest hog shows to be Google search. I force closed it, but it restarts itself. I would think it needs to run pretty much all the time to function anyway, is it really a huge power consumer, or just runs alot? I used to always run my screen on full brightness, and I could still make it through the day just fine. I've put it on auto now, and it seems to be helping the battery quite a bit. But something must be different. I know that it uses alot of juice, but I've always kept it turned up and not had this problem until now

Not sure if it matters, but I may have had something set up wrong.

So I have been working on a friend of mines Verizon Note 2 (SCH-I605) and have run into an issue... I had rooted it successfully to root66 VZW stock sys, then attempted to unlock the bootloader according to the procedure...@ galaxynote2root(dot)com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605.... without reviewing the multiplicity of comments below the article which should have caught my attention and let me know that many people were unsuccessful with that method.

So now i appear to be screwed because it will boot into ODIN but thats it. I cant even get into stock recovery. Upon boot the Galaxy Note 2 splash stays on indefinitely, as it does when i follow the instructions on this site to restore it from a failed unlock, or unroot...... ODIN 3 + sch-I605-16gb.pit + Root66-VZW-stock_sys, when it reboots following flash the splash screen stays on. I have checked the NAND erase All as suggested on this site, and it makes no difference.

When vol up/home/power is pressed it says something to the effect that 'you are a dumb*ss and have screwed up your firmware dipsh*t'....

So what now? Id hate to have to replace my buddies Note 2.... and I had absolutely 0 difficulties unlocking and rooting my HTC One, so this sucks....
