[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00445:
I have the white portable charger that came as a gift with my purchase of Note 3 (it's an original Samsung accessory). It used to work just fine, charging quite quickly. However, now, it charges extremely slowly. If I use my phone while charging, it either won't charge or will drain slowly.

I'm not sure if it's a hardware issue (my phone, the battery) or software (ROM/kernel). IIRC, when it worked, I was on Omega ROM. Now I'm on CM11.

Also, I lent my friends the charger and it worked just fine on their smaller phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0079:
It happened to me too a few times. The phone would charge very slow when plugged into the wall charger.

Then just yesterday i found out that obviously sometimes when i plugged in the wall charger, the phone would recognize it as a usb connection. So therefore it was charging slower. I then had to reconnect the charger and all was fine.

I now installed Battery Widget from the Play Store which shows to what you are connected when charging, AC or USB. And it has a nice charging animation too. :)

Just sayin', as this might not help you.

Hm, it's only 1.8Ampere.... That's a little weak.

Did you check for any running apps draining the battery whilst using it?

I charge my Note 3 with my aSolar Xstorm 15600mah every night(2.1Ampere). The only times it charged slowly was when I had left an app running (usually 9gag) and/or suffered a wakelock.

If you are using the charger that came with the phone, I wouldn't be surprised, they are crap. I have seen this problem with my note 3 and two other galaxy s3 in my family. I think that's Samsung wanting to make extra money selling additional chargers.

I discovered 2 major battery hogs after I recently went back to the stock ROM. One of them was Google Play Services location reporting (apparently) and the other one is the light sensor being always on.

Is the light sensor supposed to be like this, even if I have auto brightness disabled and I'm not currently in a call? Or is it a bug?

214. The OnePlus One can take some great pictures. The N6 should be similar if not equal but I am concerned that the camera app won't take full advantage of what that sensor can do. Hopefully it will.
[Nexus 6  General] ohhdavid:
It's super interesting to me that the front-facing camera has 1.4um pixel size vs the 1.12um.. even smaller than the Nexus 5's. I guess they prioritized good low-lighting shots for selfies not photos.

The hardware seems to be there. Google just needs to develop the software to take advantage of the hardware. Heck, even the Nexus 5 has decent camera hardware.. The software is where it was lacking.

[Nexus 6  General] cb474:
The important thing to keep in mind here is that this is a 1/3 sensor, like all other sensors out their in flagship phones these days. There is only so much you can do with a 1/3 sensor. So it will be fine, but nothing special. 1/3 sensors first debuted in phones, in 2006 with the Nokia N93 (at the time an advance over the 1/4 sensors). So this is eight year old tehnology. And yet it is the status quo in today's phones.

The only notable exception, I know of, is the Galaxy S5 that has a 1/2.5 sensor (and also the Xperia Z3 I think). The S5 takes pretty good photos. Nothing else is going to be as good as the S5. I promise the Nexus 6 will not hold a candle to the S5. The Z3 is not so good as the S5 for somewhat inexplicable reasons; I don't know why Sony can't get their act together, despite being the supplier of sensors to so many other companies, but the cameras in their recent phones have consistently underperformed.

And of course there is the Nokia 1020 with a huge 1/1.5 sensor and the Nokia 808 with and even huger 1/1.2 sensor, that's phsically five times larger than a 1/3 sensor. Those are great camera phones. But you have to sacrifice thinness to have sensors like that. Then there's the four year old Nokia N8 with a 1/1.8 sensor that still eclipses todays best of the best. And even the five year old Nokia N86 has a 1/2.5 sensor that takes as good photos as any phone today, including the S5.

Physical sensor size (not megapixels) matters because it allows the camera to take in more light, render colors better, have less noise, and perform better in low light. Everything else is pretty much gimmicks and fiddling around the edges (except OIS is a nice feature, I think--and resolution and frame rates for video has gotten better--though 4K seems like a stupid exercise when no one has a computer screen or television that can render that level of resolution).

Anyway, so the Nexus 6 has just another medicore 1/3 sensor that will take fine snapshots. Mainly it is an advance over previous Nexus phones that had subpar cameras, but other than that it is just catching up to the mediocre pack of today's flagship pones. If you want the best camera in a normal phone, get an S5. If you want a truly great camera and can stand Windows Phone or the defunct Symbian OS, get a Nokia 1020 or Nokia 808. Everything else is just whatever.

[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
What about this camera compared to the LG G3? My G3 takes the best photos I've ever had from a phone. The megapixel count is the same between the two, but it has a Sony IMX135.. and it has that laser autofocus which is pretty nice for fast shots.

Also, what about the N6 being f2.0 aperture over the typical 2.2 or 2.4?
[Nexus 6  General] donnyp1:
Great read dude. I've owned several Samsung's and nexus phones. None could take the quality pics my HTC DNA could. Would that be software related? I loved that damn phone.
[Nexus 6  General] cb474:
I'm not especially familiar with the DNA and can't find any information about its sensor, although it appears to have a decent f2.0 aperature. Seems like it had the same sensor as the HTC One X, which was a 1/3.2 backside illuminated CMOS sensor. Reviews seem to find that the HTC One, with it's ultrapixels, took better (more color accurate) photos.

Perhaps there was just something about how the DNA did post-processing on the images that you subjectively liked better.

This is a good example of how sensors have stayed in the 1/3 ballpark for a long time and an older phone can be just as good as today's "flagships," which is basically the point I've been making.

I think the Nexus 5 that your signature says you have (like the Nexus 4 before it) has as somewhat subpar camera by the current standards. So it's understandable that coming from the DNA you could be having a worse experience--though the Nexus 5 has a similar 1/3.2 sensor and OIS. The Nexus 6, if you're' in the market for one, ought to be a decent improvement over the Nexus 5 and better than the DNA. Especially since the Nexus 6 has OIS, on top of a newer and slightly larger 1/3.06 sensor. But, still, I think they are all in the same general range as cameras.

[Nexus 6  General] Richie5767:
So if both the one + and the nexus 6 have the same camera, would the difference be night shots with flash?

I don't really know how software will play in, but I hope that the nexus 6 is more crisp than moto x. Hard to decide between this or an One+.

I also wonder why the people that are disappointed with the nexus 6's price and/or screen size don't get a one + instead.
[Nexus 6  General] nexus6R3plicant:
Because the stupid invite system ...you still can't get the freaking phone ....
[Nexus 6  General] dtroup64:
One + is not available for Verizon as far as I know, or I would consider it.
[Nexus 6  General] cb474:
From a hardware point of view, the main difference will be that the Nexus 6 has OIS (optical image stabilization) and the OnePlus One does not. This should improve photography in low light, allowing for longer exposures. And it will allow for more fluid and stable video, when moving the camera and shooting at the same time. The OnePlus One does have digital image stablization, which OnePlus made a big deal about, but digital image stablization sucks and reviews of the OnePlus One demonstrated this, as if it really needed to be demonstrated yet again on another device.

There could be software differences, in terms of how the phones post-process the images. The OnePlus One, like many phones, produces over-saturated colors, because people tend to like that better (they see the bright colors and think it is a better photo, even though it is an inaccurate representation of the colors in the actual scene). I wouldn't hold my breath for Google choosing to do something different, however. Over-saturated colors are pretty much the norm, not many phones go for more realistic colors. Also, phones sometimes vary on how much sharpening they apply in post processing. Again, sharpening creates the superficial appearance of a sharper image, but actually eliminates detail in the photo, if you zoom way in. Of course, these are things that can be corrected later with image editing software, if you care.

We'll really have to wait for reviews on high quality sites, like Dpreview, before we know if the Nexus 6 and OnePlus One vary at all in how they do post-processing.
[Nexus 6  General] Richie5767:
Thanks for breaking it down. I know the OnePlus One is oversaturated, but do you think an amoled would cause the same problems on the Nexus 6? I'm happy that they have it because it will save battery on the nexus, but don't amoleds tend to have an oversaturated display as well? I'm looking forward to the reviews really badly. :silly:
[Nexus 6  General] ipmanwck:
Sony uses 1/2.3 on both z2 and z3 but on the z3 is able to crank the iso upto crazy numbers!!

[Nexus 6  General] oneplus:
I would be surprised if camera is great...neither Motorola, nor Goole has ever been famous for good camera devices.
[Nexus 6  General] SenK9:
Not sure if it's been mentioned, the Nexus 6 doesn't have phase detection autofocus, just contrast detection. Phase focus makes focusing significantly faster, originally from DSLRs.

Galaxy S5 and iPhone6 has it, G3 has a laser to achieve the similar result. They are nearly twice as fast as the traditional focus phones to get focus, and more accurate (less hunting). Probably more useful in video where hunting for focus is very noticeable.

S5 phase detection vs S4 no phase detection – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwiPJNeQOiE#t=27s

[Nexus 6  General] erdemc:
Search for lenovo camera app. It's great .
[Nexus 6  General] cb474:
I meant the photos produced by the OnePlus One are oversatured, not the AMOLED screen. In other words, when you copy them to your computer or to a correctly calibrated screen to look at, the photos will be oversaturated. This has nothing to do with the screen on the OnePlus One (or the Nexus 6, if it turns out to produce oversaturated photos, like so many phones). I suppose looking at the photos on the AMOLED screen of one of these devices might accentuate the effect, I hadn't thought about it, but the screen is not the issue. It's the post-processing of the image after it's captured by the camera module in the phone. The oversaturation is in the image itself and will be apparent on any screen.

Yes, it's the same sensor, I believe, in both the Z2 and the Z3. The problem is that in good reviews, by people who know what they're doing, the Xperia Z2 and Z3 have fallen short of other phones, like the Galaxy S5 and even the LG G3 with a 1/3 sensor. I don't know what Sony's problem is. It's bizarre given that they are the supplier of these sensors. And they used to be such a power house in phone cameras (before the era of touch screen smartphones). But Sony can't seem to get their act together. And the 20 MP sensor on the Z2 and Z3, even at a somewhat larger 1/2.3 size is really a gimmick (all the extra pixels are more likely to increase noise, than anything else). I'm not saying it's not a decent camera. But the Z2 and Z3 are in the middle of the pack of current flagships and really not taking advantage of the larger 1/2.3 sensor in the way they ought to.

Thanks, that's interesting. I've never been a, "my phone is not focusing fast enough, OMG!," fanatic. But it seems like a factor a lot of people care about. Curious that Google cheaped out on this feature, given that they are going for the premium price. It does sound like it's only a handful of premium phones that have faster focusing technologies and not standard in flagships. But that's still no excuse.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
This is a real bummer and proves the camera in N6 isn't going to be able to match the current best cameras. Focus speed is critical, its just as important as PQ because it determines how the picture actually gets taken.

Its typical Motorola, they neglect the camera always.

So I asked a senior T-Mobile exec on twitter who has a Nexus 6 unit, presumably the closest one to production, if he would post full res pictures taken with it, and he has agreed to do so over the next week! Let's keep an eye out, because the first photos were not anywhere near full res.
[Nexus 6  General] resynx:
Well this is disappointing.. thanks for the information. I never had a Motorola phone before, but from what everyone says, their cameras are not known for being good. Despite the price, I guess Google did cheap out somewhere. Will just have to wait and see when we can try the camera for ourselves to make a decision though, just hope it's above average.
[Nexus 6  General] istrikerx:

Clutching at straws perhaps, but I wish more manufacturers would include them.
[Nexus 6  General] SenK9:
One of the things that Android L brings is DNG (RAW) output, which allows for a huge amount more information from the sensor to be saved. Somebody took a bunch of pictures on the N5 (which isn't known for it's photos), and the results are pretty good I have to say.

So it's possible that software could save the day, with the right implementation:
