[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertkoa:
I will be getting the USA Sony Unlocked D5803 which is the same as the Europe

Version except more money but enables a $79.99 great warranty including the

Butterfly Glass breaking ( my nickname lol).

Hopefully SONY got some GG3 or Dragontrail on these latest production runs.

I hope they tweak the Auto Modes in Android L and add some User,Presets for

different shots.

Either way, the Camera has been compared a tier below the Big,Boys

Iphone6, Note 4, etc. still good but with tweaking, or for example 2 different

Downsizing Algorithms, and a few tricks could be right up there....

You Devs who work with Photo Algorithms, a serious opportunity for a

big dollar App here , right ?

I will pay$20 , maybe $40 for an App that kicks a Z3C into top Lumia Category...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
Some time ago, I emailed the developer of an app called "Open Camera" asking if he would add an option to simulate oversampling by automatically downsampling maximum-resolution photos. He liked the idea and he said he will try to add such a feature some time in the near future. It will be the first third-party android camera app to ever simulate oversampling. I'm curious to see he will manage to use a better downsampling algorythm than the one used by superior auto mode.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertkoa:
Thanks De Graff : you might want to tell this Dev that is he can get sharper photos

perhaps by using 3 Different Downsizing Algorithms:

One for Indoors, one for Indoors with Flash etc etc or maybe one that only downsizes from 20.7 to the 15 megapixel setting ?

And tell him many of us will PAY if he gets less noise, sharper, better exposure.

Xperia MAX Cam-maximize your Z3.

Hey everyone. I keep seeing a lot about VoLTE on here. What I was wondering is, what's the purpose of this? What are the benefits? Why is it so important? What exactly does it enable us to do?
[Verizon LG G2] redhatter:
VoLTE = Voice over LTE

So on a cell phone your voice is basically carried the same way it's been done on cell networks since they first came out when they were voice only gsm or cdma devices and before cell became what they are today.....Pocket computers with high speed Internet access via LTE

LTE is your L2 high speed internet/data access .. just like your broadband at home is your L2 for you home computer. .L2= layer 2= data link

Over these different L2 links is carried L3 ..IP traffic used for the Internet.

So your phone, your computer, or anything else with an ip address on the internet lookes the same.. it just and address to route the data to.

Now for some time traditional landline voice traffic is being replaced with something called voip Voice over IP..in voip voice is carried just like any other ip data... It's more bandwidth efficient to do it that way and it also gives flexibility in how you can redirect the traffic.

So VoLTE is a form of voip..
[Verizon LG G2] Enzopreme:
Thanks for clarifying that. Always appreciate gained knowledge on any topic!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ctdan713:
hey i installed the hyperdrive rls 18 for tmobile.

i noticed its a touchwiz rom which im fine with but i was wondering that since its an almost stock rom cant i just add in the wifi calling apk for tmobile and have it work?

it seems other touchwiz roms have it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Not if its a ported ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ctdan713:
yeah but for example the infamous rom has it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Infamous is not ported. If its based on another carriers firmware, aka a ported ROM, Wi-Fi calling will not work and you can't just push the apk and make it work. It needs to be a ROM based on official T-Mobile firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ctdan713:

Hi,

Can anyone having micro SD 2GB ultra card can tell us about its performance? I have heard that 2Gb card as such had some impact on the performance of the phone and slows it a bit down? Is there any improvement using this faster card?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Pawlisko:
I have SanDisk 2GB MicroSD - in my opinion it's quicker than my previous 1GB.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] priyansh:
I have seen sandisk 2gb ultra II micro sd card in the market. I just wanted to know if it improves the performance over the simple 2gb micro sd card?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] GilesTheAlmighty:
i have a SanDisk 2GB standard MicroSD and performance is great, no slow downs on anything.

its a lot faster than a 1Gb card (can't remmeber make, probably SanDisk) that was with my Universal, that was sloooow...

sorry that that doesnt really answer your question, but in my opinion i think that there isn't much gain in opting for the Ultra MicroSD card, as there's not anything wrong with the standard one!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Lurker0:
Comparing performance with different flash cards, be sure they are formatted with the same file system (FAT16/FAT32) and the same cluster size. Instead, your comparision results ae meaningless.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sergiopi:
And what are the best in your opinion? (cluster size and 16/32)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Lurker0:
I'd suggest you to search for existing threads and articles.

There is no a one-for-all solutions. One thing that I'd recommend is to format with one FAT copy (again, do a search). Then, the bigger the cluster size, the better berformance, but, OTOH, the more space is wasted. With a statistics provided e.g. by SK Tools anybody may make their decision on how to balance. SK Tools also a good tol to format cards with.

As for FAT16 vs FAT32, this is the last thing to decide. If a chosen cluster size allows FAT16 for the card, better to use it. If it does not - you have no a choice but to use FAT32. The only drawback of FAT16 is a fixed root directory size, which is not a big isue with large (16K to 64K) cluster sizes required for FAT16 on big cards.

But the main point for this thread still is: comparing flash card speeds, use the same format parameters.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] priyansh:
Had anyone done this kind of comparison on different micro sd cards?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Radimus:
It imaging that this level of testing is about pointless, the typical bottleneck here is likely to be the reader device, not the card.

The phone will likely be the slowest aspect, at least when compared to a desktop reader...

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reaper420:
i recently broke my screen and was checking if anyone knows if i need to be stock for the insurance replacement. Everything is unlocked so i figure the insurance will be a cheaper rout than send it to htc
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sitlet:
If the screen is completely damaged there will be no way for them to tell if its unlocked or not. Either way, insurance doesn't care. You are paying the deductible, they don't care if it's unlocked or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lodingi:
If you've owned your M8 less than 6 months, HTC will repair the screen for free. I believe with insurance, you're charged a $149 deductible. HTC also offers a couple options where they will swap out the phone. Your only cost is the expedited shipping label. I just utilized this service with good results.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reaper420:
The deductible for the insurance is only a hundred dollars but I've been seeing things about HTC charging people for the screen replacement if the phone is unlocked and s-off. Some people were saying over 200 for the replacement
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lodingi:
Here's my response to the thread just below yours.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reaper420:
I have the red text removed I just didn't fix the the tampered banner yet, I guess I might try that and see what they do
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lodingi:
Ah yes. I did that too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
If you had lost it, your insurance would cover loss and they just send you a replacement, which is usually a brand new phone. If you have the verizon insurance its a $99.00 deductible. You do have the verizon insurance right ? Asking because if you got it from best buy they have their own insurance and it does not cover lost or stolen, so if you got from best buy you have to call verizon and have them add their insurance because best buy will not add the verizon insurance they will only offer you their own insurance which does not cover loss or theft.

Are you sure you didnt just lose the phone ? If you lost it then you would have no problem.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reaper420:
yes i bought it at verizon, and on second thought its possible the screen was just scratched i would check again but i cant find my phone. thanks for the info
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Ok so if it is cracked, and you happen to lose it, assuron would just send you a replacement after filing the claim and with a lost claim all they do is send you a replacement which anymore most times is brand new in the box.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reaper420:
That definitely sounds like the way to go then, hopefully I'll be able to keep the new one in my pocket. The screen shattered way easier than I thought it would.

Also there are lots of apps for this task that you ask for. If you are unfamiliar with it then just simply restart the phone if you can not be bothered to close them one by one. It is sony's side that did not include this feature and i do not know why they did not do it.

Hi all, already searched and found a few old threads but none with a working apk or zip. Anyone get Teamviewer remote working with the Galaxy S5, either with stock rom or running CM11? I'm currently running CM11 but can't seem to find any modified apks or zips working with Teamviewer remote control. The rest of Teamviewer works great, can see the screen, remove apps/processes, etc. Just no remote. If this one isn't working anyone else get any of the VNC remotes working so I can see/control my phone from a computer?

Regards,

F
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I've used VNC hundreds of times before without any issues. Its paid so i can't give you the apk but here is the playstore link. There are other free versions but they require root (this version uses a root method also which i use) but i don't know if you have root or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fvultee:
Hmm, that's too bad. I tried it, the server refuses to start on the phone, even though the PC app see's the phone just fine and issues commands for it to start. Phone is rooted, CM11 Unified ROM, server just won't start. Strange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Just search VNC server in play store and you should get a bunch of other ones to try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fvultee:
Agreed, there are a ton of them. Tried about 8 of them, almost all completely fail, closest I got was one that would open a window on my PC of the phone screen, but it was all fuzzy, looked like how the cable company would scramble stations years ago. Tried a few different resolutions and orientations, at a bit of a loss at this point. Got TeamViewer to show the screen but cant interact with it. Grrr!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Hmm, very strange. I use the one I mentioned on my tablet. but i connect my phone to the VNC server so i can pause videos when the tablet is plugged into the TV.

I wonder if something itsn't right in CM11? Have you tried it on a TouchWiz ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] krad42:
Just use Samsung sync. You can control the phone over wifi or via therering. Works really well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tamuin:

Hi XDA

Can someone give me direction as to which phone best fits my needs?

Which are keyboard, dual sim, good battery life, calls, text, and diary, internet access might be useful but is not essential as I am willing to use a chrome-book or tablet to contact G mail.

I have used HTC (windows), Nokia 620, and Nokia E70-00 since my ideal phone the Nokia 6300. I have tried but I hate touchscreens.

Essentially I am searching for a dual sim version of the 6300.

So what is the best Nokia 110, 112, 107, 108, 206, 225 ?

Or should I be searching for another manufacturer?

Hello. A couple of days ago, I rooted my phone. I have no idea what happened, but my phone did a complete reset. I couldn't download anything as it followed with a -110 error. I flashed my phone with a ROM using CWM, and it worked :laugh: ! But I used the wrong Android version. So, I tapped the install button to update my phone. Well now i'm stuck on the CWM boot screen and I have no idea how to pass it. I plug my phone into the computer, and my computer makes the noise to signify that it was plugged in. I want to reload the ROM but I can't access the phones files. Iv'e Google soooo much, but I can't seem to find an answer. My phone is a LG Optimus F3 using Virgin Mobile.

Hello!

Yesterday, I was using my LG Optimus L70 a lot so it eventually ran out of battery. I connected it and powered it back up, but then it started bootlooping. Yes, I know you're thinking this is something that's been discussed millions of times but it isn't. It powers on into android and into the lock screen but then powers down and it's the same sequence. I recently charged it to 100% but it's the same problem. It's not bricked or anything, I bet. Also, it shows the battery power perfectly when it's off but charging and everything but it can't stay on in android because it restarts. I need help fixing this. Someone help?

Some of you may remember me havin some complaints about my n5 droppin searvice randomly. I was about to get an rma. Im glad i didnt.

I have tried everything to fix it. So last resort is to rma the device.

So, i was waitin in a tmobile store to pay my bill, and i started playin with a display nexus 5. Luckily, the phone was hooked up to their LTE network. So i got an idea and started a download. Low and behold guess what happens. The same EXACT thing my phone does.

And out of all irony the song "I want my money back, I want my money back" is playing in the store.

I dont think an rma is the solution here.
