[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
The lower the ISO, the more detailed the images. That's the main factor for more detailed images.

You can only change ISO settings in Manual mode, that's why I barely use Superior Auto mode.

Take a look at these pictures of mine:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/77537273@N03/sets/72157641512651095/

Almost (if not) all of these pictures I've taken in Manual mode, 20.7 megapixels, with ISO set to 50 (and changing the White Balance accordingly as well - the Xperia Z1 gets auto white balance wrong most of the time). Mind you that this low ISO only works in well lit situations and you need to keep your device steady. As for shooting macro: the Z1 isn't worse than the competition. You can get close enough for most close up images. True macro photography can only be done by attaching a macro lens to the device (they're pretty cheap online).

If you have more questions, please do ask :cyclops:

EDIT: if you want closer-up pictures, try setting the ISO to 50 and zooming in digitally. You'll be able to get pretty sharp 8 megapixel images for example, zooming in just a little bit. This is what I did in my Flickr album as well, mostly with the Lego figure.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anonymuszymus:
Hey [MENTION=4654371]Hermantje[/MENTION] . your photos are really cool.my question is :1. are you using some image tuning or editing apps after taking photos or those on your flickr are just simply taked and uploaded?

2.my phone is taking pictures with weak colors...if i will set the low ISO i will get stronger colors on my pictures? it's night in my country s i cant try now'

Thanks! :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
The last few pictures in my Flickr album have been photoshopped to my liking, yes. But more than half aren't. Especially the ones with the Lego figure are straight off the camera. Check the picture description to be sure though: sometimes I wrote whether or not I edited them before uploading. And some have a Flickr filter (from the Android app) as well.

Funny thing is: most of the Lego figure pictures are digitally zoomed in, as far as Sony likes to call "lossless digital zoom". I really cannot even tell which is and which isn't :silly:

If weak colours are an issue, make sure you set the white balance correctly. I'm assuming you mean that images don't look correctly saturated? This is what I notice in superior auto mode as well, where white balance is done automatically.

The Sony Xperia Z1 has a horrible automatic white balance. If you can, really do set it manually. I rarely take pictures with Auto White Balance anymore.

In short:

If you just keep the ISO as low as possible and you set the white balance correctly, your pictures will suddenly look a lot better!

(Try to keep the ISO at 50 unless images turn black or really dark. You'll have to experiment which ISO is the lowest where you still get bright enough shots)

Hmm, I should start a Photography Guide for the Xperia Z1... :angel:

in manual mode you have in the stock camera app an icon what looks like an equalizer.when you click on it you have a lane where you can se it to low or high...i think that is the white setting,balance or whatever
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
Are you asking how to set the White Balance?

Well, there are a couple of icons indicating lighting circumstances. Try for yourself which is the most accurate to real life.

Obviously the sun is for sunny weather, and the cloud is for cloudy weather. It's not that difficult, really.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcsy:
Just saw it and was messing around. There is a wb auto there I notice. That must be the white balance lol.

I never had any camera interest, and only recently I bothered with these because of the z1

Another thing is, how do I delete my carriers APN?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
- I'm not sure what weather app did you mean, however you can try to open the app's settings to disable the auto-update. Or you can open Settings > App manager > select and turn it off.

- To delete APN: Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point names > tap to select the APN > Menu > Delete APN.

Hey!

Would like to know if it is noticeble the difference between the LG G3 the version of 3Gb of RAM from the 2Gb of RAM.

Any one have tested or know?

Thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nohcho:
G3 uses 1.5 gb of ram at all times, so if you get the 2 gb version itll always be pretty close to the ceiling
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
'One' of the main reasons I got the G3 was that it has 3GB ram. Most modern phones are pretty similar in terms of speed but memory makes a big difference. You can get by with 2gb but 3GB is much better and makes it much more future proof.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent999:
If you are using dual window for all apps through the little mod, you are less likely to have issues with running low on memory.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyneric:
Currently it doesn't really matter - Android 4.4 requires only 512 MB.

The reason why a device with much RAM shows a high RAM usage is that Android considers empty/unused RAM to be wasted. As long as there is RAM available it will fill it with apps. It doesn't require additional battery power to keep a currently unused app in the RAM, it even saves power (and time) at the app's next usage because instead of loading the app it just needs to shove it to the front.

There is a defined amount of RAM that is kept empty for instantaneous usage, but everything else will get filled - provided that there are enough apps to fill it with. Android's memory management keeps track of your app usage. Apps that are used regularly get a high priority, seldom used apps a low one. If the system runs out of memory it will close low priority apps, beginning with those that haven't been used for the longest amount of time.

The only difference between 2 GB and 3 GB is that more seldom used apps can be held in the RAM. Under normal circumstances you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between 2 GB and 3 GB. About half of the devices shipped with KitKat still only have 1 GB.

Android L will probably require 1 GB - and with the 64bit support it might even result in devices with more than 4 GB of RAM. But that will be just for marketing, not because there is a technical need. Same as now with the 3 GB devices.

But I have to admit: I am a sucker for specs as well. I think about buying a G3 and since the surcharge for the 32 GB flash and the 3 GB RAM is only about 10% if will most likely go for the bigger one. I try to hide being suckered with the argument that 32 GB of flash are a lot better than 16 GB. - RAM? There is a difference in RAM sizes? ;)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droff:
I recently upgraded to M8 from old One S and missing "Flip for Speaker" feature a lot. If somebody doesn't know that was a feature in many HTC phones earlier that would turn on speakerphone during call if you flip your phone screen down on the table. Helps a lot during those wait times etc. There is no such thing on M8 and I'm missing it a lot. I thought first that may be they removed it due to the front speakers, but I tested speaker and microphone face down and see absolutely no issue. I tried a separate "UpSoundDown" app, but it doesn't work very well.

Can somebody tell me is there a ROM that has the feature that I'm looking for? Is there a Kernel that can enable it? Where to look for this and where to request it if feature wasn't implemented?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droff:
No any input on this?

If anyone interested the best solution I found so far is Auto Speaker app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hanan.android.ramkol&hl=en

It works pretty good , but still I would much prefer "Flip for Speaker" option, because of lower power consumption during those waiting times and due to the way Auto Speaker switch works.

Does anyone know xposed module with such functionality? Where would be a good place to put a rom/xposed request like this?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
Hello fellow Uni users,

I could see quite a lot of people referring to them using TomTom 6 (and yes it also is listed on tomtom.com in the list of compatible devices). However I preferred MN5 over TomTom earlier on due to refined interface and NAVTEQ maps (which are so much better than TeleAtlas, in my opinion and from my experience of course).

My grudge against it was that it consumes lots of RAM and can't free it up easily (except Quitting and restarting software). But I managed to get it working all right on my Universal.

I waited for MN|6 for PDA's quite a long time. They have released PNA's with MN|6, then a version for Symbians, but no luck for PDA. And recently their web site began to take preliminary orders for VERSION 6, T.B.D. on December 28th.

Imagine my disappointment when I saw that the website lists no Exec under O2 brand, and if you select (similar) MDA Pro, it says "this model is unsupported!"

Well... AA Navigator was also unsupported under XDA II, but I made it work.

=========================

* I wonder if anybody has used NAVIGON Mobile Navigator|5 on their Universals?

* I would appreciate if anybody who gets their paws on MN|6 (may be for their other PDA's) would let us know their experiences of using it on the Universal. Don't want to waste £100 on something that most probably won't work or will work with limitations...

* I wonder if the reason for no support is because Universal is low on available RAM? In this case all you need is just to soft reset your PDA before going somewhere. IF - that's a big IF - MN|6 just needs more RAM in which case... TOUGH :(

* I would appreciate if you note which Sat Nav software do you use for your Universals - I can guess TomTom 6 will be in the list.

But, any others?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HansiHusten:
I tried running this PNA version on my Qtek 9000, but it didnt work at all. used tweaks i found somewhere, but never passed the startup screen...

Was there a release planed for PDAs?

Dunno if the navigon 6 maps work on navigon 5?!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
Well, MN|6 for PDA's can be ordered from Navigon beginning on 28th December. The b***ers delayed the PDA release so they could crop the PNA market and then Symbian Mobile phones. Now looks like the time has come.

The problem is, they say MN|6 is not supported on MDA Pro - a similar class device and since I think that may be due to enormous amount of RAM it uses while running (MN|5 kept drawing memory with each search or map zoom, so it was best to quit after you got there and start anew - that somehow reclaimed the memory) and lack of RAM within Universal.

Anyway I am not ready to pay £100 for upgrade before I know for sure it works on Exec. I own MN|5 but upgrade incentive is disappointing -- just £25 off the regular price...

If MN|6 requires more memory even and doesn't like the Exec, I'll have but three choices -- drop it altogether and move to TomTom (likely) or CoPilot (unlikely), stay with MN|5 (bo-o-oring! :)) or get myself a new XDA Orbit (unlikely :))
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HansiHusten:
Mhh.... ur sure it will use much more RAM?

Lets just wait and see, i´m optimistic ;) Navigon 5 with latest update runs realy great and i wont stop trying V6 until i get it to run, awesome app, better than tomtom imho.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
I agree with you that it's better made than TomTom. You can see all signs of a luxury sat nav system -- and TomTom is deffo lacking refinement. Voice destination entry is just awesome, very convenient and people's jaws drop.

Navigon 5 ran more or less OK, albeit after you finish your destination it always failed to release memory - it requires lots of RAM to operate, so if I were going somewhere far away, I'd always softreset my system beforehand.

I tried to think why would it be incompatible, and some cheaper WM5 models would be. Definitely not CPU. Hardly also incompatible due to Bluetooth issues, even though for some models you'd see partial compatibility -- as in "incompatible with BiCeiver". I doubt they'd screw up Bluetooth stack from a perfectly working version in MN|5. So for now I'd blame it on MN|6 requiring more RAM to run -- and the Universal is famously low on memory especially in standard setup (non-Corporate mode), but that's only my guess. If that's the case, in Corporate mode there should be no problems running it.

Anyway, I've sent a message to Navigon asking why exactly is MN|6 not compatible with Universal. Hope to get an enlightening answer.

And yes, I'll be willing to try it all right :) and if it works properly after my tweaks, just buy it like I did with MN|5. Right now, a Torrent with what poses as "MN|6 für PDA" is stalled at 94% :) working since 20th...

Merry Christmas! :)

Official answer from Navigon support team

"Dear Mr. <EastExpert>,

thank you for your request and your interest in Mobile Navigator 6.

We regret to inform you that none of the following HTC Universal clones

is compatible with NAVIGON's latest PDA navigation solution (MN|6):

- O2 XDA Exec

- Qtek 9000

- T-Mobile MDA Pro

- Vodafone VPA IV

Whether the incompatibility of the HTC Universal clones is due to there

hardware architecture, their ROM image or both is unknown to the support

team. Sorry.

With kind regards

So, they are SORRY.

For feck's sake, is it not enough that Universals cost about £600, must I buy again - some PNA - just to keep up with new version?!

Hardly.

I call bullsh*t. I'll believe this when I'll install MN|6 onto my device and it refuses to work outright. Before that, the question will remain open as to whether it works with Universals.

I'll have a look on TomTom 6 and CoPilot that will come with XDA Orbits... only CoPilot is nowhere to be found for trials... more work to do therefore! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] EastExpert:
Just to let you know, MN|6 for PDA's is now available on the markets (white and black as well).

Now I gotta find somebody to test MN|6 on their Exec to prove or disprove the "not supported" claim.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dape16:
I have been waiting for Navigon MN6 too, since Navigon MN5 has the best street coverage in Sweden where I live.

I have also been testing TomTom 6 and I-Go 2006 and I am very satisfied with I-Go when it comes to speed and flexibility. Simply the best navigation solution right now.

But since the street coverage in MN5 was really good I had to test the new MN6 and went out and bought it to day.

Just as I thought MN6 was compatible with my Universal. It would install and start well and the interface is clean and easy to navigate.

The street coverage is also very good as I thought it would be.

BUT, and there is a big BUT, the SPEED! MN6 is painfully slow, the animated menus and especially when browsing the map. Sometimes you have to wait seconds for things to happen. I dont know if this is a problem with the Universal, but I dont think so, it has enough processing power and memory.

Speed was one of the disadvantages with MN5 when I used it on my WM2003 PPC, and speed is why I will go back to I-Go today. I-Go is so much smoother... Sorry MN6!
