I'm not really an expert, but it looks like a flash bleed to me
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codral:
Thanks for the reply mate... Unfortunately it happens anywhere there is a significant amount of daylight, with flash disabled same results unfortunately... I've noticed I get lines through the photos on macro shots if there is insufficient lighting too...

Would love to know whether this is a standard Z1 issue or a latest firmware issue or my camera is screwed? Also whether any of the custom roms address this?

cheers
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hüttenkäse:
The first image makes me think you might have some problem with your lens. Did you look at it under a strong light and check for visible damage like scratches?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nardvrnza:
That doesn't look software related, something's up with the lens or the glass that protects the lens. Is it smudged or scratched or anything?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codral:
nah it's definitely clean, routinely clean it... so looks like it's physically hardware related then. I had some water into this thing once, which they fixed by replacing the casing and cleaning... Is there anything which the water could have wrecked that they should have replaced perhaps?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nardvrnza:
Ahh water damage, they just cleaned it and replaced the case? I'm guessing the camera got affected as well. Usually with lenses if it comes in contact with any moisture it might get screwed up. Maybe they should've replaced the camera :/

How much water damage was there? Like, did a lot of water get in your device?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codral:
I don't think it was a heap, was enough to stop the thing booting, intermittently so I guess a bit... Might see if i can get it fixed under warranty then, given that my last warranty fix didn't address this current problem. Don't like my chances though, might be time to get a z3...

Now that is a good work....

I wish i had l7

BTW its Optima Team,so;)

Official welcome to you in the team,my friend:)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Asce1062:
Moved

Moved to Optimus L3, L5, L7 Original Android Development. Having troubles deleting it here :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] giaki3003:
Since you're the OP you can ask the mods to delete this;)
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Oleg Kushakov:
Hello! I'm very thankful for you work, it's really awesome, but there are some bugs that are actually really improtant.

After disconnecting my headphones the phone doesn't make any sound any more (can't listen to music, watch videos and even talk). The only way to fix it is to reboot the phone. This is probably the worst bug so far.

When I play music by connecting to my bluetooth speakers it always glitches although my phone is just right nearby. I didn't have such problem before.

When I make the music louder the sound is really in poor quality, sounds like it's old speakers playing. And I've installed standart drivers for ViPER FX

Also now videos glitch too. When I skip it a little a bit the sound is playing but the picture doesn't move and I have to wait few second till the sound and the picture got synchronised.

All the games run slower. Even Flappy Bird.

musiXmatch always crushes when I open it.

I also have some suggestions for you: 1) Make it possible to swipe menu from the last screen to the first one. Same with the desktop. 1) Make it possible to create folders in menu.

Thank you! Hope it will be heplful for you! And sorry for my English if there are any mistakes.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] skewml:
Hi guys! I have 2.7-p705-20140907 on my device and it's very nice. ROM 20140914(16,22) can't finish boot and i get blue screen (update or clean install). My CPU work at 1150MHz max. Is MAX freq. default settings in new ROM set more than 1150MHz? What about future updates, would default MAX freq. higher than 1150MHz? Thanks.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] vaikz:
Don't have problem with the latest build, working fine here. Just do a full wipe.

And also, if you can post on the original development post there. You can read previous posts as reference.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] skewml:
It's my second post on XDA, i haven't permission to developers treads :(

Full wipe doesn't help for my device. 1150MHz - max stable freq. other forums tells that default freq is 1228MHz at first boot (20140922 ROM). Is it right? I tryed init.d scripts like

echo 1100000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

init.qcom.post_boot.sh and boot.img from 20140907 ROM... Get blue screen of death right after start "optimazing application 1(2) of ..."
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] vaikz:
Yup, its goes to max freq. That's default.

Did you try to mount the System and format after do a factory reset?

Or maybe you try to manually mount system and format..

This steps is what I do when I switch roms. And I don't have any problem.

BTW, what recovery are you using?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] skewml:
CWM 6.0.5.3

I do full format:

1) wipe data/factory reset

2) wipe cache

3) wipe dalvik cache

4) format cache (i'm sure it's not nessesary)

5) format system

6) format data

7) format sdcard

8) fomat data and data/media

My device can't work at 1228MHz (CM11 by IMER, CrystalPA, MAHDI). :(
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] vaikz:
Don't need to format sdcard.

Does it install and not successfully?

1228 is not stable, I normally go down to 1200 after successfully boot.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] skewml:
Install process complete without errors, but boot doesn't finish (blue screen few seconds afler start optimazing apps) . I always set max freq <= 1150, but mahdi doesn't give any chance...
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] vaikz:
I don't have any ideas why it won't work for you.

Does it work with other ROM?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] skewml:
It won't work because cpu freq. is too high for my device. It's realy funny, but i find the way to complete boot process... :D Good old overclocker's friend - low temperature. Just few minutes in freezing chamber and boot complete without any problems. But all performance setting can't help me outside freezing chamber, next reboot crashes before i see lockscreen. :(

Unfortunately, i can't use MAHDI since 20140916 build, seems boot process goes at max cpu freq (1228MHz) and performance settings and init.d scripts applied after. Thanks for help and answers.

Liquid Smooth, CM11 by IMER, CristalPA, CyanHacker, SlimKat by IMER - all last builds boot fine
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] vaikz:
Hmm, then go with liquid smooth. It's aosp based and feature rich.

It's what I'm using right now. it's running good since it came out, the latest version. [emoji3] [emoji106]
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] skewml:
It seems the best way for me. :good:
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Oleg Kushakov:
Please, fix!

Will you fix that bag when after disconnetcting headphones the phone doesn't make any sound at all (I can't even dial). The only way to fix it know - to reboot the phone. But I think it should be fixed first of all by you. :\
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] Frankrmd:
I go down to 1200 because 1228 isn't stable. I have the last versión: final 2.9
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
I've been with ATT for a tear bow. I had the S4 before this G3. On my S4 I would have LTE most places around my town. Since getting my G3 I rarely get LTE. When I do get LTE it doesn't hold on to that connection very long.

Yesterday I was trying to look something up and I was on Edge (3g) and it was taking forever, so I grabbed my wife's S5 and it was on LTE (also on ATT) and the internet worked great.

Are the radios in this phone just that bad? I'm going to get a new Sim card today to see if that can fix the issue, I'm hesitant to return the phone for another because I'll probably get a refurb and my luck with refurb cell phones hasn't been good
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
compared to my wife's m8 my g3 gets as good or better signal in my area.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
Hmm... I hope its just the Sim card then. They did give me a new one
[AT&T LG G3] blaker13:
Radio's suck. Been mentioned a million times, plus LG is infamous for have serious programming software issues.allot of times you have to put it in airplane modethen back on to get it to lock on anything ...kinda garbage, it's too bad cause I love the phone.
[AT&T LG G3] pekohl:
I've had my phone for a little over a month now and it's been running great until a few days ago when I noticed the reception was really low in places that I normally get full bars. Not sure what the issues is.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
Hmm... This could be a deal breaker if it keeps up

I feel like I'm back on sprint again
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
So is there anything I can do on my end to fix the issue?
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
so i got a new sim card, lets see how this goes
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
I have bad reception at home but can still get 12mb down on LTE. Downtown I get 35 down and 17 up with 4 bars. Signal can't penetrate the brick at home. I drop calls constantly. I'm about to pick up a microcell but data is great.

Much better than Sprint in my area. My Sprint GS5 radio is real garbage. Kills the battery too. The Sprint variant of the GS5 is horrible with Spark.

You may have a lemon radio in your phone.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
I'm wondering that, I'd hate to get a refurb and fine out it performs the same
[AT&T LG G3] pekohl:
I got a new sim yesterday also. not looking like it's making much of a difference. I can't get full bars unless i'm out on the street. I used to get full bars in my office, relatively close to a window.

Don't really want to trade this if for a refurb to have the same thing.

Is the antenna on the back of the battery case? or is that just a 'booster'?
[AT&T LG G3] kpenny:
I've had the AT&T G3 since July 18th with no problems. My old G-note would not pick up LTE in my office at work but I get LTE with this phone. No dropped calls and super fast data. I live in northern VA outside DC so LTE is really good here.
[AT&T LG G3] Tweakecho:
I just realized I'm being throttled... May data has sucked last few days also lol... I'm at crawling speeds
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
as far as bars go mine seems just about right, but it does lose service a bit more than my S4 did. sometimes my wife and i will both have 3 or 4 bars and she will have LTE and i will be on EDGE or 4G
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
Absolutely love the device as a smartphone, but unfortunately suffer from the same issues as the rest of you here.

Loses signal where other ATT devices do not, drops LTE for HSPA or EDGE where other devices stay on LTE.

Really hoping the crappy radio can be fixed with a firmware update, and that it isn't a hardware design flaw...
[AT&T LG G3] pekohl:
Not sure what if anything changed, possibly something with the network but now I get full bars at my desk, where yesterday I wasn't. I know this isn't very scientific but now I get full bars in the same seat where for the last week I've been down 1 or 2. I didn't think to run a speedtest before but it looks good now, 18.4 down and 10 up.

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/960846859
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
I'm holding out for an OTA to see if it gets any better before I bite the bbullet and get a refurb

That's weird

I feel like mine holds onto LTE better than with the old sim
[AT&T LG G3] pekohl:
I also forgot to mention that when I had my Sim swapped out that ISIS (Did they change the name because now it says ' Soft Card') doesn't work. When I launch the Soft Card (Isis) app it says that i need an enhanced SIM. So it looks like I have to go back to AT&T to get yet another SIM.
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
Of another G3? I wouldn't waste time doing that. Sounds like they're all the same radio-wise.

Waiting on an OTA too... but if nothing comes, I will jump ship to another device altogether. One with a competent radio.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
I want to root and try to change this in the build prop.

Permanent LTE Option

# default value is 9

ro.telephony.default_network=12

Part of me thinks it will help

I believe this makes the phone hang onto an LTE connection as long as possible
[AT&T LG G3] californiarailroader:
Yep, they changed it due to that disgusting bunch killing and destroying, ISIS.

"Recently, we have observed with growing concern a militant group whose name, when translated into English, is Islamic State of Iraq and Syria – often referenced by the acronym ISIS.

The ISIS militant group has been linked to sectarian violence against civilians and government forces in Iraq and Syria.

However coincidental, we have no interest in sharing a name with a group whose name has become synonymous with violence and our hearts go out to those who are suffering. As a company, we have made the decision to rebrand."

http://www.zdnet.com/isis-mobile-wallet-changes-name-to-softcard-7000033265/

Go with Google Wallet, it works with far more cards, the whole program is just much nicer to use.
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
Alright, rooted this morning and made that build.prop change. My value is now 12 instead of 9.

I'll report back after visiting the spots where coverage usually drops or gets weak.
[AT&T LG G3] californiarailroader:
I am going to try that too. I get awesome LTE data speeds, but I have noticed my G3 will not hang onto an LTE signal as well as my One M8, hopefully this will help. I mean, it's not that bad but it does get annoying sometimes.

Edit-I changed it, I will test it on my way into Ukiah, in Ukiah and back home to Redwood Valley.
[AT&T LG G3] californiarailroader:
Well, it did seem to help a little, it held onto LTE all the time I was inside of the Ukiah Walmart, where it would sometimes drop back to HSPA. I noticed though it dropped back to HSPA when I got inside my house in Redwood Valley, I put it in Airplane mode and then back out of it and it went back to LTE and stayed, we get -88 to -100 DBM LTE inside my house.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
thanks guys, i'm really hesitant to root now, my screen has a washed out spot that just started showing up a few days ago, if it gets any worst i'm going to have to use the one year warranty
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
The true test will be at my part-time job tomorrow (I sell phones and doing the iPhone launch) where I'll be there all day. Our ceiling is a very thick layer of concrete. Most AT&T phones get 1 or 2 bars of LTE still, but my G3 while on class 9 would alternate between 1 bar of EDGE, and more frequently, no service at all.

As for so far, not sure if it's just the placebo effect, but I feel like it's held onto LTE better in the areas I've been in.

It's worth noting that dBm hasn't changed at all, but the phone isn't as quick to drop LTE and is quicker at picking it back up if it does drop.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
Eagerly awaiting your results
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
Unfortunately after a full day of use, I'm afraid I have to report that it's nothing new at all. I've noticed that the phone does hang onto LTE more often, but unfortunately the general signal strength (dBm) isn't improved at all... and I suffered the same total drop in connection that I was getting with the value set at 9.

Modding the build.prop (ro.telephony.default_network value) from 9 to 12 only tries to hang onto LTE more... it's not necessarily successful. Sure, seeing the LTE icon gives you the appearance that it's connected... but that doesn't necessarily mean that said LTE will work. I've been on a bar of LTE, tried to refresh a page and it'll just stall forever and then drop to HSPA or EDGE.

Bottom line, the D850 has a nerfed radio compared to the D851, D855, VS985, LS990, etc...

I love my G3, but my days with this device are numbered.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
Well crap

Thanks for testing it out
[AT&T LG G3] montavious:
After extensive testing on my att 850 that's pretty much it..though don't you think some or most of this could be corrected with an update to the radio?
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
I sure hope so. Where I live ATT service isn't very good as it is
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
I'm just a little disappointed that no update has been pushed out yet... makes me think it could be a hardware issue and never be corrected.

Either way, I'll be toughing it out with the brutal reception (and a dead pixel) until the Nexus 6 launch.

Shame too, because I love it as a phone otherwise.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
Yeah there are a few things that I hope they can fix

Radios

Aux port

Weather animations

I'm pretty surprised there hasn't been an update for a few small fixes
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
Could it be that the radio is just an issue with a select number of AT&T G3's (D850s) ?

I have seen a number of complaints about it, but at the same time, I feel like there would be even more complaints if everyone had it as bad as I do.

I know that other things such as location play a big role, but I feel like we would have heard more complaining in here. Just a thought.
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
Idk, I would be pissed if I get a refurb from LG and it isn't any better.

Since they swapped out SIM cards it is better and tolerable, but still not as good as my S4 and my wife's S5
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
I'd try the SIM switch if I didn't have a national retail employee plan (we have to submit a form and have one shipped, takes forever).

I do have a shot pixel near the bottom right of the screen. Doesn't bother me much, but I probably could get a brand new one if I complained to LG.
[AT&T LG G3] samsat:
On my second G3. Both had great data performance. LTE in all the areas I normally received it using my HTC.

Tested yesterday in a strong signal area but while seated in my car and got 31.64 down and 8.46 up.
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
So LG offered you a refurbished G3 as a replacement?

What is the process exactly? Would you have to send your G3 out and be without a phone until the refurb arrives?
[AT&T LG G3] atistang:
I've been to the ATT store twice, the first time they reactivated my phone. that didn't change anything. the second time they gave me a new sim card, they told me if that didnt help to come back and then LG would cover it under warranty. So I asked them if LG would be sending me a new phone or a refurb. The one guy said refurb and the other said new, then the guy that said new told the other guy "these phones have only been out a month, no way they already have refurbs to send out"

When my wifes last phone screwed up they send her a refurb. I'm willing to bet they have refurbs to send out

basically they send you a phone, you put your sim and battery in it and make sure it works, then put your old phone back in the box and put the provided shipping label on it to ship it back to them. so unless your phone is completely dead then you are never without a phone
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
Hmm alright, I just made a warranty claim on their website. An LG Representative will be "contacting me shortly."

Hopefully it works out. Can't have a defective device to sell when I get the Nexus. :p
[AT&T LG G3] mbze430:
Which part of socal are you in to get 31.64down?!?!?!!? I have had a LTE phone since the beginning of Los Angeles launch about 3 years ago... and the most I have ever gotten was 23mbits down.
[AT&T LG G3] samsat:
I'm in San Diego. You have to make sure that your signal strength is full scale to get this kind of speed.
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
24 hours have now gone by and no response from LG on my warranty claim. Anyone know if this is the norm?
[AT&T LG G3] stickem601:
Got the phone when it first released, and from day one it has had radio issues with voice /data, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Every call I made people would say I was breaking up badly. I live in the city, about less than half a mile from a tower. On top of that the Bluetooth is so messed up that the radio would turn off and back on and not reconnect to devices it's paired with. The WiFi wasn't too bad, but I would have to turn it on and off all the time. The Bluetooth and call issues pushed me to just get another phone, something about driving down the road talking business through the car's Bluetooth and the phone just decides to turn off the Bluetooth radio , than not reconnect that ticked me off. I ended up getting the HTC M8

Edit: I still have my G3, been checking for an update every 2 weeks. I wish the boot loader was unlocked so the community could just do LG 's job for them.
[AT&T LG G3] samsat:
That sounds like a faulty phone. While the phone's not perfect and there aspects which could be better I have no problem with any of the radios.

Call AT&T tech number, they will do some over the air tests and send you a new one if they find any fault.
[AT&T LG G3] Sentrix27:
So, LG wants me to send the phone in and wait two weeks to get it repaired or have a like-new device sent back, with no phone to use in the meantime. Told them no thanks, and that I'd make the claim on the D850 after buying my next phone (which definitely won't be manufactured by LG).
