With apparently no reason autofocus of my xperia Z stopped working

Seems it is stuck on macro and it is on focus only when really near

Is there anything I can do? Any chance it is a software problem ?

Have you tried a reset?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speed_399:
yes but nothing changed

Try reflashing the rom.

If that does not resolve its an hardware issue then
[T-Mobile LG G3] blacknet101:
I need some help! I don't know if this has been answered, I've looked and I haven't found a topic on this

I want to buy this phone on Amazon because I don't wanna add a line and I wanna use my Amazon Credit Card so I wanna buy this on there

but I'm lost of which unlocked version works with T-Mobile LTE

any help will be appreciated!

and sorry Mods if you wanna mode this thread to the Q&A Section, seems more of a question than General Information of the device, Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
IIRC, and I'm only answering because I haven't seen anyone else pitch in yet, only the T-Mobile variant works completely with T-Mobile (obviously).

The next closest one is the AT&T variant, but I think I remember reading that you might not get full LTE support (dual band use) on it.

For the most part, all of the GSM variants will work on T-Mobile, but you will not get LTE connections, at the most, just 3G.

When I was searching for the G3, I remember bumping into that problem of no Tmo LTE bands on the unlocked variants.

So, I just went with the Tmo branded 851 and flushed the receipt down the toilet (after making a copy, of course ;) )
[T-Mobile LG G3] blacknet101:
thanks haha for the response but yeah I guess I'm gonna have to do the same! :(

[A3000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armi5:
I have this issue for a long time by now. I thought it is just the Play Store but no, I noticed it in the facebook messenger too.

Icons and smileys has black background, and in messenger when I use the bubble head thingy, smiley's background is transparent, you can actually see the things behind it, like my home screen wallpaper.

I googled it, but no fix for it, even updated the Play Store. Factory reset did not help. I even replaced the ROM with a new one, but this problem appeared again. (4.2.2, root) I had this problem before the root acces too. I really don't know what to do.

And other forum peeps said the bug only appears on Mediatek devices...

Notice the icons in the Store, and in the Messenger (black background and home screen)

I just got the notice to update to ZVD, I believe

I have rooted ZVC with no custom Recovery. I just have the modified Hotspot mode, I used ADB shell to copy over /system/framework

Can I safety run the update without breaking anything?
[Sprint LG G2] TechGirl90:
No, it'll brick your device, because you're using an OTA update that is unrooted on a rooted device, if you were to go through this process, this process will confused your device causing it to malfunction, it's best that you update your device by unrooting it, and flashing back to the Stock Firmware.[emoji4][emoji106]
[Sprint LG G2] chompone:
I am in the same position as the OP, and actually it won't brick your device. I tried installing the ZVD update and it simply didn't install; it did not brick my device. I guess it's a moot point because the update doesn't work anyway, but I tried installing the OTA update as you would with a normal, unrooted device, and it most definitely did not brick my device.
[Sprint LG G2] TechGirl90:
Oh, that's good to know, I personally wouldn't still try it though.[emoji4]
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powersimon:
Hi all,

I'm experiencing a strange behaviour of my Note 3 (SM-N9005 - stock KK 4.4.2 - XXUFNG2 - not rooted). As you can see in the attached image, the cache size is 1,47 TB!!! Going deeper into this, I found out that it is related to three apps, each with more or less 500 GB of cache.

Two of them are user apps (Office suite and Amazon apps shop) and if I uninstall them the amount of cache is reduced of 1 TB, as expected. The last one is a system app, Google Newsstand, and I obviously can't delete it.

If I clean the cache via usual apps the amount of cache cleaned is "right": about 10-30 MB, no mention of strange TB-sized cache.

Yesterday I did a wipe cache partition, with no results at all.

So the questions are:

- why the amount of the cache is so ridiculously high? Maybe the internal SD card is broken?

- why are there two different values for the cache amount (second image)?

Suggestions are welcome.

Bye, Simon
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodoane:
It could be wrong reported cache that is attached to your account. Stop wonder if your device work normally. Have you tried to clean cache with internal setting (just press on cache then clean).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powersimon:
Sure I did. The wiped amount of cache is about 10-30 MB, that huge gigasized cache remains completely untouched. Actually it seems to be invincible.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
It's clearly incorrectly reported cache. No way in hell would our phones have 1TB of memory. If it did then daaaaaaamn. :cool:

If after you cleared the cache from Recovery, and used Clean Master to wipe the cache, and it still didn't work, flash stock.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Seeing as how the device only has a 32GB drive, logic clearly dictates this is just a glitch.

Ignore it. You have 12,44GB free.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powersimon:
Yes, this was obvious. I was asking if this issue could be related to a broken internal SD...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Doubtful. It displays the original size and free size accurately. Same SD.

Try emptying the cache through Recovery.

(Shut down the device, press and hold volume up, home and power, let go on the Samsung logo, navigate with volume keys to Wipe Cache Partition, hit the home key to confirm, wait and navigate to reboot now. DON'T click home whilst on Factory Reset/Wipe Data.)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powersimon:
Already done, as I wrote.

Strangely, nothing changed. Now I'm waiting to completely factory-restore the device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
My mistake, thought you meant cleared the cache through settings. :o

If a reset doesn't work, you can always try reflashing the firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graffiti Exploit:
I have experienced this once! It was from changing ROM(Jackaway to Stock or was it the other way around). I was bothered by how I had lesser free space when I had the same apps at that time.

It seems that the emulated path created a copy of everything in my internal memory like the obbs and stuff which were huge. Accidentally discovered it when pressing the back again and again in Solid Explorer. What I did was deleted it there. I lost my files but I had backup so everything was good.

In conclusion, delete the duplicated files in emulated or internal somewhere. Just backup and then manually delete it. And to be even cleaner, factory reset. Hope it helps.

PS. Mine was bigger about 2GB+ lol. Also when restoring, remove the sd card. I hate it when some apps go to sd when restoring. Lol

So you say you found a signal path that bypasses noise suppression, but the modification is increasing the gain? Is their a specific gain value you are using that happens to bypass noise suppression?

Aroma installer package of chdloc's fix for Android 4.4.4 stock / AOSP-based roms

This is the aroma installer package of chdloc's camcorder audio fix for 4.4.4 stock / AOSP-based roms. Other installers of the fix are available for Android 5.1 (see post #627), Android 5.0 (see post #235) and for CM11 (see post #56).

Flashing the installer, you will get four options:

Install Audio Fix - simple: no noise suppression, bitrate 288 kbps

Install Audio Fix - advanced (6 dB): 6 dB noise suppression, bitrate 288 kbps

Install Audio Fix - advanced (12 dB): 12 dB noise suppression, bitrate 288 kbps

Install Stock KTU84P Audio: 20 dB noise suppression, bitrate 96kbps (stock audio libs and config from build KTU84P)

So if you are using Google's stock firmware build KTU84P, option 4 will revert the system files changed by options 1-3 (audio libs and config files) to their stock versions.

If you are using a different firmware build or if you've changed the config files and want to be able to revert the files to their current state, please make a backup of the system partition by using the recovery (CWM / TWRP) prior to installing this zip. Then you can just restore the system partition if you don't like the changes.

Every option will overwrite the following files:

/system/etc/media_profiles.xml

/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml

/system/lib/hw/audio.primary.msm8974.so

/system/lib/libaudioflinger.so

/system/lib/soundfx/libaudiopreprocessing.so

/system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf

By the way, you should make a backup of the system partition in any case! There's always a (small) risk that something goes wrong when flashing a zip. Anything you do, you are doing at your own risk. :fingers-crossed:

And please do not forget to post your experiences with this fix!

Happy flashing! :)

My mod is not changing the externally controllable gain at all by default. It gives you, however, the option

to change the gain without affecting any other apps.

Natural video sound again on my N5

After Google messed up the N5's camcorder audio in 4.4.3 and 4.4.4, I was getting by using Snap Camera with alternate mic enabled, but in all honesty the audio quality was still nowhere near as good as some of the phones I owned even 6 or 7 years ago,

Now I don't know exactly what this mod does, but my videos sound like they should again so big thanks to chdloc for the fix and spacetaxi for the aroma installer.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RussianBear:
Any chance you could post a stock revert, just in case, please?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] serzhanja:
YES, this really does work! No bubbly-underwater like sound while recording video.

Now, you clearly know how to deal with libs and all. Any possibility you could fix dark video recording in low light on post 4.4.1 update? The 4.4.1 update prefers fast shutter speed to keep the framerate in low light, resulting in really dark night videos without flash. In 4.4, the camera was sluggish, but chose slower shutter speeds in video and though the framerate was 15-20 fps in darkness, you could actually see something. Like on an iphone and other phones recording in the dark.

Thank you.

Works on MIUI

Thank you for your mod!

I tested it on latest MIUI - and WORKs! It's based on 4.4.2.

Sound is now more consistent - before was choppy.

TNX... again!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chdloc:
No, this mod only addresses the audio quality when using the camcorder.

Are you referring to the RX distortion issue when running CallRecorder or a similar app that records calls from the line?

If so, I do have a separate mod that is not for the faint of heart. You will need a custom kernel and a bunch of Tasker scripts to bypass the problem. Although the mod comes with a downside (it turns off dual-microphone processing), I'm running it without an issue.

PM me if you would like to give it a spin...

I just downloaded the L Preview code tree and the sources that need to be modified for the mod have not changed.

There is a good chance this mod will work without any modification. Just try it and report back...

I know how to deal with audio (I do this for a living) and I have some programming skills. Video is a whole different beast and I, unfortunately, don't have the time to work on video processing.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] chdloc:
That's right. CM has made extensive changes to the audio subsystem, which would require a merge of the CM code tree

Wouldn't this mod cause the same problems as the KK one (VOIP, music apps, etc)?

Please don't give up on this, camcorder audio still sucks on L....

ps.: only asking because it's an "old" mod.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chdloc:
I would not expect the "old" mod on L Preview to cause any app incompatibilities. The only thing this mod is missing is the ability to offer moderate noise suppression.

Don't worry, I'm not giving up on this. However, the new mod needs fundamental changes in libaudioflinger and the latest sources (if they are even available) may still change until Google rolls out Lollipop. I will pick up the ball as soon as Google releases the final Lollipop sources.

Anyone tried this fix with Android 5 aka Lollipop?

So I installed Lollipop yesterday, loving every second of it BUT, forgot that I installed the "audio.primary.msm8974.so" fix ages ago and now have horrible warbled sound again

So I'm looking for root and a fix of the above method for Android 5.0
