[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suxi:
Hello everyone!

Since I replaced the broken rear camera of my GT-I9505 the camera doesn't focus properly. First I thought it was a faulty replacement, but the replacement of the replacement as well as the camera from a different seller show the same behaviour:

The google drive widget for scanning docs focusses correctly, but none of the available camera apps work. As soon as the app tries to focus the focus goes into near mode and remains there with no further movement.

I have factory reset the phone, reinstalled all camera apps, flashed other roms, factory reset again, with no change.

Has anyone experienced this as well?

Thanks for any tips

I just picked up the i9505 second hand (first smartphone). Same problem here. I went through 3 camera module parts off eBay... first one was the wrong part (i9500), and other two were supposedly i9505 - same results: camera never focuses. *Sometimes* it will temporarily focus if I moderately shake the phone, even then, only if the phone is tilted upright and not facing down.

Is the front camera unaffected for you guys?

I recently got an S5 from Cricket/AIO. Was wondering if it was the same as the AT&T version because I wanted to root and put a custom ROM onto it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Most of us have no direct experience with Cricket because it's not a natiomal carrier. It's only an option for a limited number of US zip codes.

Looking at the specs, starting with the model number - SM-G900AZKZAIO strongly suggest that it's just a rebranded ATT 900A model. And sure enough the specs say that your phone uses all of the same frequency bands.

So the overwhelming chances are that it's ATT compatible in all significant aspects.

Just picked one of these up on Black Friday. Care to share your experience with custom roms for this model? Did the Roms/root for the Att variant work okay? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooklynite:
I would be very interested to know as well and thank you for starting this thread. Looking at the settings I see the USB TETHERING and WIFI TETHERING is completely missing from the settings altogether. Thats one main reason I want to root so I can actually use my data outside of the phone. Plus the boot animation is Cricket branded. So its not just a relabeled AT&T phone. The model number also ends in 900AZ not 900A like the AT&T version. The kernel is NE7 thought.

I also found this thread:

Hi everyone. I am totally new at this. I have a HTC One S S4 . It has TWRP 2.7.1.0. The device is also S-Off-ed. Can I run ANY custom rom or does it have to be specifically for the device? I was under the impression. Now that it is S-Off i can run any rom?? I wanted to try the new HTC One rom. IDK if that is ok or not? Any input is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You can run any rom that is specifically stated to work with your phone. If you are updating to a higher version, you might need to flash the appropriate firmware so the radio and touch sensors work properly. So you can't use an HTC One rom, but you can use one that has been ported to your device from it.

I've tried several roms even without recover data but my battery keeps last very low.

I suspect could be the battery itself.

Hi,

As far as I can see your main wakelock is " fast dormancy " try to disable it and see if it help , the other one MSM_hsic_host may be related to the fast dormancy.

I cannot found a way to disable fast dormancy because Kitkat s4 is not compatible with the app "fast dormancy toggle" and my career seems not to support dialer code *#9900#.

But I seem to be the only one (reading from the relative thread) who has battery problem with that ROM.

Just wondering if anyone else gets this on the stock ROM every so often?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShoxter:
I get this issue ALL THE TIME when I'm trying to use Snapchat, but I'm assuming that's just an issue with the app and it's compatibility with my device, ROM, kernal, etc. I haven't noticed it happening with the Camera Next app (Cyanogen stock camera), but I also haven't tried using it much.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That's a well-known Cyanogenmod issue which I frankly hoped would not occur on this CM-powered phone. I did have it happen too on some occasions regardless of which app triggered the camera.

The good old "Restart Camera" APK seems to do the trick even though it takes a lot of time to reinitialize the camera afterwards. See here for the APK: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973

Not sure whether it would be worth flash a different ROM just because of this issue. Shame though because I really do like this ROM.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShoxter:
I just downloaded the Camera Reset apk that someone previously mentioned and I'm hoping when Snapchat loses connection to the camera, using the reset app will fix it. Better than restarting the phone.

When looking for any ROM for your phone, it must say that it supports the S4 processor inside the phone so yes it needs to be specified so you know it will work with the hardware inside your device

Hi guys, just thought I'd let you all know about a free cool new app I've released on Play Store

DockClock allows you to turn your S5 (or S4) into a cool clock while it's docked or simply charging, and is specifically made for AMOLED screens which only light up the pixels they're using which creates an awesome effect, especially at night.

It also moves the clock randomly every 15 seconds to counter the renowned burn-in effect suffered by AMOLED screens.

Download it now from Play Store!

This is the only way to map mc5. You need to set up two separate profiles for mc5 and set up a toggle to switch between the two during gameplay. Does work good but nowhere as good as mapping mc4. Bit it does work better than using native at this time unless Gameloft fixes it's problems then I might go back to native.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LiamAtkins90:
Why are the 2 profiles important?

I have 1 profile for the game and navigate menu with the mouse emulation in Six Axis app.

A bug I found is making a swipe on weapons icon (to switch weapons) makes the screen jitter slightly

like a centre screen swipe, its strange. Tried many ways to change swipe distance, button, no fix yet.

And could we set 2 profiles like this:

1 is the generic moga stye (too navigate through the games menu)

2 when in game, switch too the custom touch emulated profile. With select.

Will try this actually.

EDIT: tried this method in Sixaxis, every time i make the switch to profile 2 (touch emulation) I get a message (controller disconnected)

This is every time so I just left it.

[AT&T LG G3] Sam0620:
Doesn't it switch automatically to 3G?
[AT&T LG G3] kcss88:
Switches automatically but in fringe areas the phone is constantly searching changing back and forth between 3g and 4g and wasting battery. The d 850 is the only model I have seen which is not user switchable. It appears AT&T has removed or hidden the option for some reason. The T-Mobile and Korean versions are user switchable.
[AT&T LG G3] Sam0620:
I have Korean version F400K but I don't see that option,Can you elaborate the steps to switch manually?
[AT&T LG G3] phonehead6720:
If you are rooted you can do this easily. You just need to edit the build prop file. Download buildprop editor from the play store and then just change one line, ro.build.target_operator from "ATT" to "OPEN". Then reboot. This will change the phone into thinking it's not ATT branded and will put the "Network Mode" menu back to choose under "Mobile Networks" in settings. Works perfectly. FYI the AT&T signal bars will change to the generic version but it's a small tradeoff to get that menu back and enjoy better battery life. Enjoy!

Hello,

Since updating my Sony Xperia T (UK unbranded phone) to Android 4.3, I have noticed a significant decrease in my battery life.

I have already re installed the software (version 9.2.A.1.199) when it was released in April twice due to various problems after updating.

Please can someone tell me if these stats are typical?

My 'Screen' time when I took this screenshot was only 17 minutes - I pretty much hadn't used the phone today.

I have also been at work all day where I have full signal.

I have pretty much uninstalled every app on my phone, except Facebook.

Many thanks :D

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ckovvi:
It seems not to be ok. Reset your phone by holding power and volume up button together. Use your phone normally, battery needs time to settle after few cycles. ;)

Edit: Didn't see that Google Play Services drain so much battery, uninstall updates of it and update it again, and it should work then.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
4.3 is a software designed to let interested 3. parties know any minute what are you doing and where you are, much more than it was under 4.12.

Enable Stamina mode. Install a program that provides the capability to select startup items. Manage location reporting to the minimum required. Install Greenify, and then sleep apps that you don't use that much, or resources monsters like Facebook when not needed. Install an older version of Google Play Services.

Wasn't .199 the first version of 4.3?

[Nexus 7 General] TheDemon7x:
First of all, try sucking on the mic holes.

Suck the top mic if mic is not working in portrait orientation or suck the right mic if it is not working in landscape.

It seems that the different mic is used when in different orientation. (Portrait => Top mic, Landscape => right mic)

Secondly, it sounds stupid but make sure nothing is obstructing both the mic holes.

If it doesn't work;

1. Pry open the back of the cover. Start from the top left or right corner. Should come off easily with fingernails.

2. Depends on which orientation when the mic doesn't work, pull off the rubber thing so that you can access the inside hole.

3. Take any clean brush and brush the hole thoroughly.

Taking off the back cover doesn't void the warranty but taking off the rubber for the mic might void the warranty.

No problem in recording quality after removing the rubber.

The story :

I flashed gpt.bin GPE 4.4.4 from a moto G on a moto G LTE using mototool. Now my device is bricked like a stone, it can't boot anymore and stuck on logo boot. I am not an expert at all but i have the feeling that the cause is that system partition is damaged due to wrong gpt.bin : for example each time i try to flash system.img_sparsechunk.3 with mfastboot, the phone returned "too large" message.

The solution is probably to flash the correct gpt.bin for my model. I have a gpt.bin version 4.4.3 Xt1039 but can't downgrade without returning an error "Preflash validation failed" on "mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin" command : so i guess that my only hope is to find and flash the gpt.bin 4.4.4 for XT1039 to solve the problem.

But I can't find it : do you have a link to download gpt.bin 4.4.4 for XT1039 ?
