[General Questions and Answers] kinghu:
Recently picked up the XShot (2GB Elite version) because I wanted a better camera for pictures of my children. I'm coming from an iPhone 5s and also have a OnePlus One and Note 4 (daily driver) so these are my comparison devices.

OPO camera is decent but not great. It's better in ColorOS but I still struggled with blurry shots and noise. I used to miss shots because it's 5.5 inches and really needs two hands to operate. Plus it's a bit slow to focus and shoot. Great price for spec, though.

I loved the 5s. Quick to snap a shot and because it was small, I'd generally miss fewer shots. I underestimated this aspect too much. Problem is the phone is small for other tasks (trading, movies, etc.) and the battery want great.

Next is the Note 4. Good camera with OIS but a bit slow to open and shoot. That and it being 5.7 inches means it's quite cumbersome to take out of the pocket quickly and, although shots were decent, I'd miss too many opportunities from fumbling around. The rest of the phone (media, browsing) is mostly excellent, though.

So in steps the XShot - my 'compromise' device. Which actually isn't much of a compromise I've found.

First the non-camera aspects: still as smooth in day-to-day tasks as the Note and OPO despite being about 10 to 15% lower in synthetic benchmarks. I guess I don't need the extra grunt for my usage. If you do, there's an 'Ultimate' 3GB / 32gb model with 801AC (slightly faster) to get OPO 47k Antutu scores. In my experience, unless you 3D game, the Elite model is more than enough. Software wise, is running 4.4.2 with a heavily customised ROM (Funtouch 2). Lollipop might be a while away yet but, the camera is my primary concern. Those wanting Lollipop should look elsewhere.

Screen size of 5.2 inches and ergonomics are excellent. I can comfortably one-hand this way easier than the OPO and Note but it's still large enough to be fine for media and reading. The curved back and smaller screen combination work really well. It tapers to very slim edges so feels much thinner than it might appear in pictures or on the spec sheet. Build quality is solid - not cheap feeling at all. Great audio is a bonus. I think 5.2 is as big as I'd go in future as it has the best all-round feel.

And then there's the camera. This is a big step up for so many situations. Dedicated 2-step sheet button. Way better aperture so it focuses and snaps instantly so I miss fewer shots and far more are in focus. Part of this is the size: I can grab it from my pocket quicker and, with the dedicated button, already have the camera app open by the time I've raised it to shoot (holding down the dedicated button opens the camera from a locked state). Plenty of options for advanced shooters, too.

So, despite thinking it a 'compromise' choice, I've found it anything but. Yes, it's 9 months old now and may be superseded in 3-4 months, but Vivo may just make the screen unnecessarily larger or change something else. Hopefully they'll keep similar dimensions and just make things even better.

Hello,

I'm a new Android developer, and created my first app to solve a problem I had while driving. I use a lock screen with pin code, and found myself typing this code in my car whenever I wanted to switch "stations" in TuneIn Radio (I like listening to Internet radio on my way to work).

Having not found an application that will disable the lock screen when I'm connected to my car's Bluetooth device, I wrote one myself.

This app can be found in Google Play store, and you are more than welcome to try it.

Hi,

I'm trying to install the following ROM on my droid:

[ROM] [KITKAT] Unofficial CyanogenMod 11 for Galaxy Ace 3 LTE

Some of the installation instructions are not crystal clear to me so I thought of using the installation steps detailed here: How to install CyanogenMod on unsupported devices.

I just want to know if that would work. I don't know too much about Android but I'm a seasoned Linux guy. I just wanted to know if anyone knows, off the top of their head, if following the second link to install the ROM in the first link, would cause any issues.

Thanks :)

Since we have a quite stable cm11 i was testing ART on our phones but i was disappointed from the overall result

I can say that an advantage was that System seems to have more ram to use,if you dont install anything on the phone and leave it with the basics is quite fast

But when you install like 3 heavy apps with background services like viber,facebook,messenger phone is totally out of use

The only tweak that i apply was oc and i moved dalvik to sd-ext too with my own script with simple links everything esle are on data partition

it seems that our cpu is too poor to handle art compile/load,or maybe sd card slow down device

If anyone have any recommendation ,or any thought to share,it would be acceptable!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slippyjim:
So I've unlocked the bootloader OK and then I followed this video - qbking77.com/development/how-to-root-the-htc-one-international-sprint-att ( I cant post the link as Im a new user) and when I open superSU I get this message - "there is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

Everything appeared to go ok with the root, so what have I done wrong?

I have hunted round these forums and seen other people with this problem but not with a HTC One.

I have also tried updating it through the play store but with no success, after the update the error message changes slightly to "there is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device"

Hi

i have a verizon galaxy s3 i535. (as per specs on wiki). 2gb ram . dual core 1.5 gig processor

Android Version : 4.3

Baseband Version : I9300ZCUBML1

Kernel Version : 3.0.31-2198062 se.infra@sep-83#1

Build Number : f3a268.fy

using this set in Pakistan on Ufone Network.

now my problem is i want to install custom rom but which one is best suited for me as this baseband is from china (as per google search)

and most importantly will i lose my unlock status if i install a custom rom ......

do help me as some features are missing in this version like account sync and delete options ...

there is a stock rom of i9300 that we can install on i535 and after installation it will show i9300 in setting and everywere except *#1111# that will show the actual model of the phone, here in Pakistan there is lots of phones selling that are the verizon but installed custom / stock chinese rom in which we can thought it is i9300 an international version, even sticker under the battery also showing i9300 and when we search its IMEI its shows another model of the phone, this fake business is going very well...

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
I am running stock Motorola 4.4 with gravity box and Xposed. My WiFi connection is very unstable where it basically drops randomly for a few seconds which is a severe ordeal when using apps like hangouts and skype. My internet connection has no issues and this happens with my phone well within range. I have turned off the 'drop poor connections' option from the WiFi settings. I also turned off WiFi optimization if that is supposed to do anything.

Previously I was running CM and Gummy ROM and had no such issues with them. Its interesting to note that previously I was running with jelly bean radio and only updated my radio when I came to stock ROM. I suppose I could go back to a custom ROM and see if its still happening but man restoring and all is just so much time consuming.

What I want to know is that are other people facing the same issue with stock ROM?
