[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaubach:
I am stuck on the same step. Not sure the number, but I rooted, installed go launcher, and was going to install twrp with a utility (I forget which one because I have tried to use so many of them to get out of the mess I'm in) and when it rebooted my device into fastboot/recovery, it stuck on the splash screen that says kindle fire, the 'kindle' text is white and the 'fire' text is orange. My device manager says Android Phone > Android ADB Interface. From what I have read and understand, I need to have the driver showing Android Phone > Android ADB Composite Interface. I can't seem to find the appropriate driver anywhere.

The worst part about this is that I started this for my mother in law so she could have a fully functioning tablet, and now it's a warm fancy paperweight.

I appreciate any help, or just point me to the correct thread. Can't seem to find anything anywhere.

No when in Fastboot it should just say Android ADB Interface

[Galaxy Note 4 General] A-Alzayani:
Between all the flagship phablets released in 2014, what do you think is the most worthy opponent to the Note 4 to be considered before you go and buy the note 4.

I am evaluating my options here, and considering other phones like the LG G3 beside the Note 4.

Share what do you think is a worthy opponent to the note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xManMythLegend:
In terms of the Note 3 Zero.

No SPen = no competitors.

None are in the same class in terms of multi app usage either.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
I'm considering a Z3, and if an HTC M8 Maxx was out, I would consider that too...My wife's G3 is a pretty nice phone as well.

If a stylus is important to you, then obviously there is NO competition..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
The way I see it we have four options

1) a worthy oponent to the note 4 would be another colour of the note 4, say you have a black one then a white one would be a worthy oponent.

2) a note edge maybe

3) a note 3

4) if you dont want to spend so much money that is then the oneplus one.

These are my opinions.

i dont have any personal grudge against that phone, but the poor display talks for itself
[Galaxy Note 4 General] katamari201:
There's nothing comparable when it comes to display. Displaymate says its the best mobile display ever. The closest is probably the iPhone 6+ 1080p display if you don't count the QHD which most people don't care about, and it is a distant second. That's what you get when you are the only ones with modern OLED tech on a phone.

Nothing comparable to the Snapdragon 805 of the Exynos either. I mean, literally there are no 805 phones yet and definitely no 20nm Exynos phones which is, again, a Samsung exclusive.

S-Pen and wacom digitizer. Of course no one has it.

Camera nothing is comparable. All those crappy Chinese phablets use the same 13MP sensor with terrible software processing. The Vibe Z2 Pro supposedly has the same 16MP OIS sensor, but I've seen more than a few reviews of it and the quality really sucks. Software does a whole lot, and the glass and camera unit they built the sensor into is likely not that great either. LG G3 isn't very sharp and their low light shots are very overexposed. and blur easy because they rely heavily on the OIS. Xperia Z2/Z3 is low contrast, underexposed, noisy, poor colors, and very inconsistent. It has no OIS either. The only superior cameras are iPhone 6/6+ for nightshots, and Nokia Pureview cameras. Basically nothing can compete with the Note 4 in Android. Android just really sucks with cameras in general.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pete4k:
another none here, but come to think of it little more, Note 3 is actually the only opponent. Others have no stylus and therefore not in the same class, Note 2 is little outdated. I know it's bad since my choices for phone are limited to 2 models, but I refuse to have phone without stylus.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atriad:
Good Evening,

I have a 16GB Touchpad. I've run numerous roms on the system. I currently have Evervolv Nightly 8-17-14 4.4.4 (I think). I have had JCS and Pac-rom on it recently, too.

This problem has happened off and on since CM9 perhaps even before. I don't remember if this did happen in WebOS.

While in use the system will randomly stop responding to touch. I need only hit the sleep (power) button once to put it in sleep, then once again to wake it up and the touch works again for a little while. This is very annoying during games as I have to constantly put the pad to sleep and wake it up to restore the functionality.

Honestly, the pad is used mostly by my son for games and youtube and it has survived several drops. Being a 4 year old he gets very frustrated when the touch stops working, too.

I initially thought this was due to my son installing tons of random games and applications but even after fresh wipes and OS installs it will still freeze.

Is there any way to troubleshoot this? Any linux/android log files that contain information related to the "touch" driver? Should I just try to order a new digitizer? reseat the current digitizer?

Thanks for the help!

[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
You need to locate your desired ROM for the P7 variant you have and download it. Make sure you have the stock recovery installed. From the download, copy the dload folder and its contents to the root of your SD card and then do a force update.

ROM sources:

Hi,

OK, first. Sharing your phone number and email address with 5million strangers is not the best decision you've made today. ☺ I would edit those out of your post. You don't know who may use them for what.

K... Second. You wrote HTC one "me". I'm assuming you meant m8 or m7. Please clarify and I can't point you to a guide.

We don't do support on Assist, we help members navigate the site. It's up to the members to read and learn what they are doing. Asking to be guided by someone step by step is a gamble. What if that person doesn't know what they are doing? You could wind up in trouble.

Just some tips to help you here.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cheapshot789:
I haven't received the z3c yet but wanted to start theis thread early so everyone can post what display setting there using and any issue on the display. This is from the phone areana review.

" Color accuracy is way off on the Xperia Z3 Compact. Sony has gone purposefully with a colder, noticeably bluish display with color temperature reaching the whopping 10000K (while 6500K is the reference value, and everything above it is cold). Color balance in greyscale is noticeably skewed towards the blue across all brightness levels. Color purists have the option to adjust color balance with separate controls for red, green, and blue. With some fiddling (you’d need to add in a lot more red, and a bit more green to get to more balanced colors,*we tweaked it to the following values: red ~ 250, green ~ 190, blue ~ 0), you can get to the point where colors are not outrageously blue, but getting this right is no trivial task and requires either a trained eye, or a colorimeter."
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] nizarnoor:
It's great that we have white balance settings, but the only thing I don't like about it is that it decreases screen brightness when applied.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] GuestK00333:
for me its Red 40, Green 75 and Blue 0
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dillalade:
If anyone has a colorimeter at hand it would be greatly received if they could perform some tests and provide the optimum RGB values.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tocirah1:
I plan on doing this as soon as I receive my phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] showstopper03:
Awesome! this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cheapshot789:
Anyone that had received the are you satisfied with the stock screen settings?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Servaas:
I'm pretty happy with the colors. Coming from N4, that always seemed a little dim.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] richyb86:
This looks good to my eye and a white paper reference. Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] stormbeta:
No - I'm no color purist, but the extreme blue tint was very obvious and off-putting. Very puzzling choice on Sony's part, it makes the screen look really bad.

I turned off X-Reality and put it side-by-side with my Moto G and adjusted the sliders until it more or less matched my Moto G. I'm still fiddling with it, but right now I have it set to Red 120, Green 145, Blue 0.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Doesn't the display get significantly darker when using high values for white balance?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] withoutwings:
Leaving XReality on - I like R:20, G:20, B:0. Just warms things up a tad without overdoing it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cheapshot789:
So is everyone experiencing the same blueish tint?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] stormbeta:
A little bit, I guess? It's still more than readable for me in sunlight, and I'm using Red 120 + Green 145.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
I've been using Red 40 + Green 73. No "Image Enhancements"... my reality is enhanced enough, thank you. It does *appear* dimmer, but I'm going to assume that's a physiological color perception issue. You can increase the brightness of the display while keeping the ambient light sensor on, which is a nice feature. Also, the screen can still get blisteringly, stupidly bright if you disable the sensor and crank it all the way up, even with those settings.

I have a colorimeter, and I know that the diagnostics menu lets you do a series of display tests (including flipping to red/green/blue). Does anybody know if those panels apply your color balance settings? Or, alternatively, a good (preferably free) Android app to help with calibration?

Also, seriously, WTF Sony. The displays look almost comically bad straight out of the box. I feel bad for every user who buys the phone and never delves into these settings. :|
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
As far as I'm aware, the reason why Sony's white balance option makes the screen appear dimmer is because it's not really a true white balance option, but rather a sort of workaround where it adds a coloured transparent overlay to the screen. Higher values mean that the overlay becomes less transparent so the colour overlay will appear more intense while making the screen appear dimmer consequently. There are third party white balance apps in the Play Store which have exactly the same effect, although those also add a bit of lagginess to everything. But the colour and dimming effect is the same.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
Huh. I mean, I use Twilight (basically the Android version of f.lux) on my Nexus 5, and have never noticed lag issues. It is *definitely* an overlay, though. That's very surprising that Sony would use such a method, as they actually have access to the actual firmware. You would think, as such, that it would allow you to use ICC color profiles. :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Ah, no, I meant apps to correct the white balance, not colour measuring apps. I used to try one of such apps on my old xperia tablet s because its display had a noticeable yellow hue. It did make the colours better, albeit a little dimmer, but everything seemed to be laggy/choppy when the effect was applied.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tocirah1:
Oddly, according to my Spyder4, good settings are R:0, G: 137, B: 255.

I'm not convinced...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Well, the screen is said to be blueish and you're adding extra blue so of course that's not the way to fix it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] techguyone:
I'm using this setting too, and it looks a lot better.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mudnightoil:
Whilst there's always significant variance with LCD panels, and probably more so in cheap, ultra high volume mobile panels, I find this rather dubious. Either you have a faulty colourimeter or a faulty display.

Personally, I don't find mine too blue ... and the high red / green settings some people are using make the red channel (and to lesser extent green) look hugely oversaturated. The 10K colour temps reported by some reviewers and owners just aren't present on my device. Maybe I'm either lucky, or mine is 'faulty'. Either way, I'm using R15, G20, B0.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cheapshot789:
Well got my z and noticed the blue tint also I'm trying out 50g and 50r.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] munkustrap:
I had the same expectation about the 'blue-ish" screen before I get the phone. But my piece is actually reddish. Guess different panels are used again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
So, the display on the X3 Compact has literally been driving me completely nuts over the last few days. I had been using my settings from before -- R40 G73 B0 -- for a good while. Still, I found that even though the RGB was closer to accurate, the whites were still pretty grayish. Just not enough contrast. I figured that the white balance thing was still screwing things up.

My next step was adjusted considerably downwards -- R0 G51 B0. Surprisingly, the color balance remained pretty true, and the contrast improved a little bit. Still, it made me a bit crazy that such a new system would have such lousy contrast ratio.

Up until this point, I'd just been leaving the automatic brightness ("adapt to lighting conditions") enabled. On the Xperia, it's interesting that you can have both automatic brightness enabled *and* have adjustments. However, it seemed that even at 100% + auto, the brightness was too low for typical work/indoor conditions. Disabling automatic brightness and increasing the slider hugely improved the colors and contrast, but anything within the typical range of the automatic brightness had too low of a contrast.

At this point, I turned to Lux Auto Brightness. Playing around with it, I discovered that the current operating system has a pretty jacked up brightness curve, at least with the "white balance" option enabled. I think that the ambient light sensor either lacks sensitivity at the low end or it's improperly calibrated. That is to say, dim (not dark) room conditions measure too few lux. Messing around with the curve seemed to help me immensely. Now the whites actually tend to look reasonably white. It's not perfect -- it's still a work in progress -- but I'm liking the screen much better now. Here is what I am using:

White balance: R0 G51 B0

Lux Auto Brightness plot points, with "dynamic" backlight adjustment and built-in "adapt to lighting conditions" disabled:

0 lux @ 10% brightness

1 lux @ 57% brightness

5 lux @ 59% brightness

10 lux @ 61% brightness

15 lux @ 63% brightness

20 lux @ 65% brightness

40 lux @ 67% brightness

1000 lux @ 90% brightness

10000 lux @ 100% brightness

I'd love for other folks to try these settings out and let me know if they find their display a lot better looking with them. It has really made a huge difference for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LeftyMD:
Hey man, looks great! The changes have definitely made a difference, especially with the lux adjustments. Great effort :good:. If you can, let me know what settings you've arrived at.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
Thanks! :) I'll keep updating my OP as I add adjustments. It definitely has the worst brightness curve of any phone I've ever used. My Nexus 5 only needed a couple tweaks: mostly for being a tad too bright in darkness. This phone needs a ton of them.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
Okay, I think I've generally settled on a curve that seems to work under most situations and produces pretty decent colors. It's still a *wee* bit blue, especially in sunlight, but overall it's much much better.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LeftyMD:
Awesome thanks for the help. In your experience does lux cause an overall decrease in battery performance? By being capable of having a larger range of brightness compared to the stock slider? Just wondering, I haven't done any testing per say but just a thought I had.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
I'm sure there is, but I'm currently at 47% battery after using it most of the day (3h 26m screen time on, some YouTube videos). So I'm still quite happy with the battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ventura726:
I think the display looks fine out of the box. Way more vibrant than my Z2.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Paninno12:
Thanks, looks better but still is really dark for some of my pictures. I didn't expect that:(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
Try doing the brightness curve I posted above; I found that it really helped with the darkness and contrast problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Paninno12:
Thanks [MENTION=3852404]marumari[/MENTION] this really helps. Just added 10% increase brightness from the notification bar widget. Contrast is still a big issue.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
Perhaps try reducing the settings on the white balance thing? Turning it down to the setting I have in my post 0/51/0 helped a bit. The higher the settings, the more it saps away your contrast. :\
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Eclypz:
All I did was leave the white balance at default and moved the adaptive brightness slider all the way to max. I think a lot of the "blue" was coming from the screen being forced to operate at such a low brightness. It's not perfect, but it's good enough for my eyes.

Now to see how much this will affect my battery life :eek:

Thanks for the tipp. OK it's not free, but greatly improve the usability of the phone under changing lightning conditions, in particulòar at night. I put it to "periodically" and now never have to change settings.

I agree the built-in reaction to the light sensor is way to little. This app made my day!! Tried the "LITE" for 5 minutes but it is not as powerful.

Including it dims the display more than the system settings (like e.g, ScreenFilter that I used before) to really dim the display in very dark conditions, and automatically via the sensor, awesome ;)
