I have some bad news for you. Due to a change in the way Android handles permissions as of I think 4.2 cifs mounts are no longer visible even with the correct modules. I can't post links but if you google for the problem it will come up. There is a fix but it requires a kernel patch. When mine comes this weekend I'll give it a shot as this would also be useful to me but no promises.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
As a workaround, ES File Explorer implements CIFS without any need for kernel support.

so.. back on the wizard for a bit.. same problem as b4.. when someone calls from a Private number it rings for half a second then goes silent.. but the call is still coming in cuz the phone vibrates. using molski 2.3 final rom. voice command 1.6 and photocontacts pro 4.01 installed. this only happens on Private calls...any help would rock.

Hi Developers,

Just needed to ask, I am using Sony Xperia C, was wondering if there is a way to hide the WiFi connection status icon in the notification bar on the top of the screen.

Is there any way that i can hide the fact that my phone is/is not connected to WIFI?

Please advise how as well.

Thanks Already!!

Well according to this site Exynos version has different Camera sensor than Snapdragon. Specifically,Exynos uses a Samsung based sensor "SLSI_S5K2P2" whereas SD uses Sony based sensor "IMX240". Also it says that historically, Exynos camera Sensors were superior to Snapdragon's!

If anyone is interested in checking/verifying the sensor then open the dialer app and type the following number *#34971539#, choose ISP Ver Check.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Nice find. The low light shots on the Exynos look significantly better.

Oh damn, I'm from the US, guess I'm not getting a Note 4 anymore. It has a lesser quality sensor :(

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jreuschl:
Sony generally makes excellent camera sensors. Nikon even uses them.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SAVVAS.:
Go blame that website which reported that, those are their words... Nonetheless, thanks for contributing on this matter:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BoneXDA:
This is interesting and I'd like to get the bottom of this.

Looking at pictures and some videos how N4 camera works, live HDR, S5's widescreen pixel resolution etc., the Note 4 seem to perform very similarly to the S5 in terms of white balance, saturation and exposure, results are only a little sharper during the daylight, more so in HDR and during the night. But if either or both N4 versions have an IMX240, then Sony has a 16:9 sensor that perform 95% like a Samsung ISOCELL and that's a little harder to believe with such different technologies.

Of course Sony can always make an ISOCELL sensor for Samsung as they make a PDAF-type for Apple, but then I'd have to ask why, Samsung comfortably supplied the bigger launch of the S5 with enough ISOCELL units so numbers cannot be the problem. Some say OIS can be, but if Sony has an exact same size sensor as S5 ISOCELL, I don't see an issue packing ISOCELL sensors into an OIS camera unit. BTW I like ISOCELL cause it's very fast and reliable, almost always perfect WB which is always an issue with Sony sensors, 2-6 out of 10 shots come out with improper white balance either on the colder or on the yellower side. Apple phones are the only ones getting it almost always right.

IMX240 equipped sensors with the proper ISP however can do up to 32s shutter speeds, and longer shutter options are a huge missing option for Samsung devices, usually SW capped at 1/15s. That's not only a problem cause you either have to use the multi-shot stability mode or higher ISO for VERY noisy results, but with optical image stabilization this capping is totally unnecessary, one could hold the phone for up to half a second with OIS and not get a shaky result. So far Note 4 shots are impressive during daytime and improved during the night, but I don't see any longer shutter samples or options. That is just silly from Sammy at this point in mobile photography. EVERYTHING is there for great night shots except for some reason Samsung's willingness to either allow longer shutter speed options for the automatic mode, or provide it for manual mode. This lack of judgement makes Samsung phones inferior in night comparison to counterparts that happily go for long shutters. The Oppo Find 7 makes great night shots with a Sony IMX sensor.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Thanks for sharing your insight!

Do you also have the spec sheets for the IMX240 sensor? It is one of the better sensors on the market this year, right?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
[MENTION=4890367]BoneXDA[/MENTION] is smart, photographically savvy, and has contributed a ton to discussions of various devices camera performance. He's getting his hands on a Note 4 soon. Look for his review when it's posted. It'll provide insight in to a lot of the open questions hanging around. I'm looking forward to it. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BoneXDA:
The Note 4, Snapdragon version, has a Sony sensor. More to come!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
The s/w on Exynos reports the sensor differently than on S-805 for some reason. That's why everyone thought there were two different sensors. There aren't. Or, if there are, they're both made by Sony. Thanks to [MENTION=1350202]Pako7[/MENTION].
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
I guess all we know is that it is a Sony sensor. Darn!

I just hope it takes better low light shots than the S5... The comparison photos I have seen between the iPhone 6+ and the Note 4 thus far have me a bit saddened. I really want to use the Note 4 but what is holding me back is TouchWiz (do not want to root and lose warranty before it expires) and the camera.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
Can't you use Nova Launcher instead? Are you considering an iPhone 6?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Does Nova Launcher change the way notifications work too? The TouchWiz skin takes up half the notification drop down... That is truly my only grip with the OS right now, the rest is not so bad.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jamor414:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
lol i knew it. knew it wasn't the Samsung isocell... which honestly makes me happy bc again, I hated the s5 camera.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
It may be ISOCELL manufactured for Samsung by Sony. [MENTION=4890367]BoneXDA[/MENTION] said after looking at SGS5 and Note 4 pics back to back they're 95% the same which would be hard to accomplish with two divergent technologies. I think he has one in hand so we'll know soon enough.

T-Mobile Note 4 version SM-910T, showing having a Sony sensor.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pako7:
always check sensor in menu "Phone/CAM FW Ver check"!! Not "ISP FW ver check"!! It's two different things
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
so then perhaps Sony is manufacturing the type of sensor (isocell) that samsung gave them specs for? either way the Sony sensor on my s4 was better than the iso cell my s5 had so I'm hoping Sony brings it's magic back with the note 4 which, from what I've seen, they did
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BoneXDA:
The Sony sensor has a pretty stellar picture quality during daylight. Very high amount of details, some minimal noise remaining points to low noise reduction (which is good), pictures can be up to 12MB large (very nice), there is a little extra sharpness and satuation added though. Focus is as fast if not faster than the S5, so I'm thinking the IMX240 has phase-detection autofocus, the G3 is still faster with laser auto-focus. HDR is very fast and not so different to the S5 but has more detail (S5 HDR shots lost a lot of details). HDR video is good. 4k video is great. OIS works pretty well.

fill size: http://abload.de/img/20141014_090917sfspf.jpg

Night shots improved due to 1) the sensor handles higher ISO better, 2) shutter speed now can go up to 1/8s compared to 1/15 before, but with OIS we could use 1/5, 1/3, 1/2, 1s, 2s... 32s shutter. For Chrissakes Samsung, OnePlus and Oppo do it, so do $150 Lumias. Night results however are okay. I just think manual control would allow so much better results. I mean c'mon!

The S4 in low light was one of the saddest things I had experience. I shortly sold the S4 after my experience with that camera... Day time shots were alright.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
and the S4 had simply the best flash of any phone i've ever used, so low light=flash=looked damn good. the G2's flash is terrible and over-exposes everything so it's just a white blob. i'm gonna be quite happy to have a new camera over the G2 lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Yeah I guess with flash the photos were acceptable but a lot of phones (e.g. iPhone) took the same shot in the same environment without flash and the noise was almost non-existent and there was no overexposure of the images thanks to the flash.

I guess I got spoiled with the non-flash capabilities of other phones when using my S4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
yeah i just liked the s4 daylight pics more than my g2 as well lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
Lol, OF COURSE I'm being sarcastic. Lol. Samsung would not release the same phone where one camera is insanely better than the other, in specific versions of the phone. At the end of the day, the Note 4 is going to perform like a Note 4, despite what model it is, what processor it has, etc.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
"While the 16MP camera of the Galaxy Note 4 is mostly what we would expect, Samsung has really changed things up with the addition of OIS. Outside of this addition and the Sony IMX240 sensor, there’s really not a lot of change when it comes to the Galaxy Note 4."

anandtech says its the IMX240.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] mike__o:
bitrate mod

So how long until someone mods the camera app to allow for 4k recording at 100mbps like on the note 3? Is this still locked down in the new android? So far with the video samples I have seen, I think the Note 3 still has the upper hand when recording at 100mbps, the Note 4 4k video doesn't seem to handle gradients very well with the lower bitrate (like in shots of the sky), or shots where the whole scene is moving (like panning shots up and back with lots of motion in the scene).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pako7:
default 4K worth 48Mbps .. please tell me - why it is necessary to 100Mbps? Why not make a right 200? Or 300? :laugh: In my program PUMa I'm doing a patch, but I will limit the value of 4K maximum 64-80 Mbps. That's enough sight unseen ;)

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

yep.. F2.0 - never wrong :laugh: All Wrong!! including scribbler
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mike__o:
I think 100Mbps was the max the sensor on the Note 3 supported, maybe it will be higher on the Note 4? If the sensor supports it, may as well go for the max allowed right? :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Pako7:
you do take and calculate what should be Mbps based on the maximum settings of the sensor (resolution and FPS)

Sony (S - underlined), and the manufacturer ISP - SLSI (L). Also screenshot with my program, which can determine all the service information for pictures taken with the device

and why an ISP written version S5K2P2 - so just because the kernel Samsung has not appended (see code kernel.. always will be "SLSI_S5K2P2_FIMC_IS"

Galaxy Note 4 with Exynos 7 Octa SoC uses Samsung ISOCELL camera sensor, not the Sony IMX240

You look at camera before then after firmware upgrade. After firmware it shows Sony. This is error in string of old firmware. The cameras are the same.

It is impossible to get identical pictures on digital. Exynos vs Snap is futile exercise. Comparison between 2 exynos will produce differences that can be pointed at.

The cameras are the same. Google it or test yourself pre/post firmware update.

I have the N910C with Sony sensor (rear one) ............ I think the main difference is in Sony sensor the highest ISO is only limited to 800, where in Samsung sensor the highest ISO is 2000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how bad or good is that in real life experience, and I don't understand Samsung games regarding smartphones aspects !!!

There is an Iranian web site (Toranji) compared the two camera sensors & the result was close, but colors clearance was better in Samsung sensor (Exynos).

this is a link to the site
