[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
Quick question, has anyone else had issues with the playstation app since its last update??? I've noticed a couple people have, but they have unlocked bootloaders but i dont really see anyone else saying it doesn't work, just wondering if the update broke the app or if its because i have unlocked bootloader, for now im just using previous version, but if i update it i just get an error when trying to sign in
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
Anyone?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
How has this had 100+ views and not one answer?????? lets try another way, is anyone with a locked bootloader having issues with the latest version of the playstation app?????
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manemzjum:
Because 100 viewers were looking for the answer
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
lol, well the only answer i seem to be able to come up with, is that latest update introduced some kinda drm, therefore i cant access it as i lost my drm folder ages ago
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manemzjum:
It's pretty much been confirmed from Sony themselves DRM is lost when bootloader is unlocked

No DRM no PlayStation app or remote play

For what reason who knows just to punish modders
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
Nah the only thing i lost from unlocking was xreality........... video unlimited worked, noise cancellation, music unlimted, all the xperia apps even the playstation app worked until the other day

I knew full well id lose drm by unlocking, but at the time that didnt affect anything i used including anything related to ps4 or games in general
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manemzjum:
Yeah PlayStation app worked for me also but looks like in the recent update that enables remote play they have blocked unlocked bootloaders

Try and find an old version of the PlayStation app will most likely work fine
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennypow3rs:
Bro if you unlocked your bootloader you're screwed. If it's throwing you error codes, you can't login or connect to remote play. My bootloader is unlocked, xreality works, everything works. But I asked in the Sony Xperia forum and they confirmed that since I unlocked bootloader my Playstation app isn't going to work and remote play isn't going to work. Tried relocking and still no success. One you lose those original keys phone is done. What a price to pay for wanting to customize your phone you paid for your way.

My Droid Turbo's camera clips are 1920*1080. Where is the setting for 4k?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
Swipe right on the camera screen to reveal the options.

Change video settings. See pic below.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] itanas:
oh, thank you. Oddly enough the setting doesnt stick, so next time camera app is opened setting is back to 1920*1080.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
Not sure why anyone would care though.

Megapixels, Schmegapixels

The camera sensors and lenses in phones are too low quality to make high resolution pictures or video make any sense at all.

Don't get me wrong. This camera is the best I've used in a phone, but large resolution just wastes space and gives no added benefit as the quality of the sensor and lens is not good enough to take advantage of it.

Really 3 - 5 MP is all you'd really need on any camera phone unless some major breakthrough is made in small sensors and compact lenses.

All you get is a really large image with lots of grain and distortion, unless it is scaled down, in which case a lower resolution would have made more sense in the first place, and what's even worse, to make some of these super high resolution images emailable in size, they are going to be overcompressed, adding compression artefacting to them.

First thing I always do on a new phone is turn the resolution way down, and keep it there, but unfortunately the Droid Turbo does not seem to have a resolution setting for pictures, only for videos. :(

The camera phone megapixel race is nothing but a marketing illusion. Same goes for most compact point and shoot cameras.

LOL, look at me, my arbitrary number is larger than yours. Looks good on phonearena comparison tables, but there is no real improvement in camera pictures. (if they instead measured high ISO noise, image clarity and color accuracy, however, these would be GOOD marketing comparisons that would actually help)

Now, on a high end SLR or rangefinder camera though, high resolution CAN (but doesn't always) make sense.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
Turning the MP count down does nothing for you, just decreasing quality, since it's still a 21MP sensor.

3-5MP is not enough when you have displays at a higher resolution, and if you want to crop/zoom at all, you need higher resolution.

It may sound like I'm saying you're wrong, but I agree with you. 21MP on a camera phone is useless. Heck, my $3,500 Canon 5D Mark III is only 22MP. I liked HTC's idea about improving the camera with a lower MP count, but unfortunately those photos still looked awful. Maybe someone will get it right, Apple seems to have a winning combination with their 8MP sensor.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
Well, the way I am thinking about it is, at least I am not wasting storage space on distortion and noise, and have more manageable small, emailable files. In fact, downsampling high resolution noisy images is a well known method for reducing noise in images.

Yeah, but you don't NEED to display an image at the native resolution of your screen. In many cases an image can actually look better when lower resolution, if the image quality is crappy enough that it doesn't look good at 100% 1:1 pixel ratio, which is the case for every phone camera I have ever seen. And cropping? Then you'd be taking a grainy terrible image, and making it's defects even bigger....

Again, better to just have a low resolution image.

And either way natural resolution of the 2560x1440 screen in this phone is ~3.7MP. Most phones have lower resolution screens.

The camera in the Turbo is actually fairly decent. Does it compete with my Nikon D90? used with $2000 professional lenses? No, but it's not supposed to. All I am saying is that the much touted "21 megapixel" specification has absolutely nothing to do with how good it is. It' could have been 4MP and looked better, or over 9000 MP and looked much worse.

So, to that end, I wish I could set it to ~5MP in software, have it downsample, and hide some of the grain, artefacting and distortions, save lots of space, and be more emailable and still be way higher resolution than the screen in the phone.

What troubles me about phones is how they are limited. These are essentially small computers in my pocket. There should be no reason I don't have all the settings at my disposal, like jpeg compression ratios, resolution, etc. etc. Instead phones are dumbed down for the masses, and it pisses me off. I want to be able to change every setting and fiddle with every option.

I want my phone to be more like my computer, NOT my computer to be more like my phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
I agree with you, and this is one area I don't agree with LG and Motorola's direction as far as camera software goes. They remove features and settings, to make things "simple". I liked the past years phones which let you set more resolution settings, ISO settings, sharpening, focus points, etc. The new software on the Turbo and other Moto devices is extremely lacking.

Can't you use a camera app like FV-5 and manipulate to your hearts content?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
Looks like an awesome app, but the free version has pretty much everything restricted.

I have never paid for an app, and don't plan on starting now :p
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dtroup64:
Camera fv-5 is perfect for my needs. I've been using it on my Note 2 for 2 years, and it's gotten better and better. Spend $600 for a phone, but won't purchase an app that makes it easy as pie to use the camera in all its glory... I don't see the logic.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreyzzyn:
I just got my Note 4 and one of the biggest things that is bugging me (besides the delayed menu button) is not being able to have my installed apps display in an alphabetical list. Is there anything that can fix this?

I found an app calle 'App Drawer' but I am now unable to remove the default 3x4 grid icon on the bottom right which makes having 2 icons for different app drawers incredibly annoying!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasez:
click on "apps", click three small squares on top, sort, alphabetical.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreyzzyn:
doesn't give me that. I only have Custom and Alphabetical Order
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudedog123:
Same problem

Hey Dreyzzyn,

Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I just upgraded from the Galaxy S3 to Note 4 and very much miss my apps in "alphabetical list" mode. So much easier hitting the starting letter of the app you want and BAMN...a listing of apps with that letter pop up. But this Note 4 is confusingly not allowing me to do it.

Thanks in advance. Thought this phone was supposed to be so powerful...yet I find I'm missing my S3.

Rudedog123
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fozzir:
Get a launcher!

Note 4 stock does not allow listing of apps, to do this you must install a launcher. I use Apex but there are many out there. Just install it and pick set your apps to list view. As far as lag, to get rid of it just set Window, Transition and Animator scale to "off" under Developer options and you should be good to go. I've done that since the S3 days no problem and phone gets waay faster.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Yes it dose with the stock launcher. As texasez said "click on "apps", click three small squares on top, sort, alphabetical". The screen shots are with the stock touchwiz launcher.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fozzir:
I think you misread the original post as he's looking for an "alphabetical list'. This is not possible on the Note 4 as it was on Note 3 and Note 2. If you think it's available please post of screenshot of that instead of just showing that you can sort apps alphabetically which every version of android can do. Two, totally different things. I've posted what an "alphabetical list" looks like in Apex since you can't do it in touch wiz. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31104043/screenshot.JPG
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Ahh I see said the blind man. I wasn't aware of the difference from list view and order.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matttrix:
Yes get a third party launcher.. I use Nova.. but like the fozzir said theres Apex and many others that are great.

I don't know how many of you this would apply to, but if you're having trouble connecting to your wpa2-psk wlans, you'll need to use tkip encryption only.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] geoff5093:
Are you saying it won't connect to a network using AES? TKIP is for WPA, and AES is for WPA2.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jman594:
Yep, that's what I'm saying. I know TKIP is for WPA, but on Cisco WLC's you can use TKIP as a backward compatible encryption method in the WPA2 encryption parameters. AES is a problem. When I'm at work, I can't connect to the PEAP network which we use for BYOD, and it is configured to do AES only.

As soon as I configured my home Cisco WLC to use TKIP only, it connected fine. It's something to do with the key exchange. The phone kicks it back and ultimately the WLC will exclude it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] geoff5093:

I don't, sorry. I'm thinking there's a problem with the wireless software on the phone, but I don't know enough about the phone hardware/drivers to make an inference.

Is this a change that has to be done on the actual router ? Or something that can be done on the Droid Turbo itself. I , too, am having a very hard time connecting to the Wifi at work
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] m4rk0358:
Likewise. It's extremely annoying.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] johnny grep:
Wait a second. Which WLC version are you running? Which model of AP? Is this a WLC-only setup or do you use ISE/WCS/NCS as well?

I'm thinking your WLC (& lightweight AP IOS) might need an update.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jman594:
At home I'm running a 2112 WLC and a mix between 1242 and 1131 AP's. I was running 7.0.116 at the time. I upgraded the controller to 7.0.250 and put the setting back to AES only and the Turbo connected fine. There is a Cisco bug in 116 - forums. motorola. com /comment/826037 Hence the upgrade.

You'll have to build the link yourself, xda doesn't trust me yet :'-(

There is still a problem at work, however. That infrastructure is running on 5500 series WLC and code 7.6.130 (latest available in train before 8.0 major release). We shut off .11ac a while back due to some firmware issues with Lenovo NIC's. We have MFP Client protection (Cisco's iteration of 802.11w) set as optional, as it should be. Could be that there's a bug present in that code as well. I'm going to have someone put in a TAC case for it and see what turns up.

Making 802.11w mandatory on devices that support ac and forcing it over a/b/g/n seems like it's going to cause a lot of problems for folks running older infrastructure. Although since networking is Cisco's business, you'd think this wouldn't be an issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] johnny grep:
I'm running 8.0 code here with no issues. I'd try that - I've had many issues with 7.6 code... 8.0 seems scary but so far so good here.

I don't have a Droid Turbo but I do have a 1st-gen Moto X that had issues on earlier 7.6 code. I primarily use 3602's around here though, should be getting 3700s soon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jman594:
So, I have to admit that I didn't investigate this issue at work as aggressively as I did at home. I committed an IT troubleshooting sin and assumed that I was dealing with the exact same symptoms in both environments. I apologize for that.

Nevertheless, I did some more troubleshooting and noticed that when using 802.1x EAP-PEAP authentication (we're using ISE and AD-credentials for BYOD), you'll need to prepend your domain to your username (thusly: domain\username) when entering your credentials into the phone. If you don't, ISE can't determine what identity store to look in to authenticate you. I imagine this is an issue within the supplicant. It acts an awful lot like the supplicant is prepending the '\' character to the username.

I've only experienced this issue with the Droid Turbo. My OG MotoX didn't have this problem and my coworker's Nexus 6 isn't experiencing it either. (i.e. neither phone required 'domain\username' as just 'username' would suffice).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] johnny grep:
Interesting. Perhaps the 2 devices use different supplicant parameters... I've had to use the DOMAIN\user login before on my XT1058 though.

Very interesting - wonder if logcat has anything to say about the differences in the authentication process.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] enovativ:
very, very annoying

why would Motorola put out a phone that as these setbacks....not good "customer relations" at all. :mad:

why is it that with my small Droid Mini, I could do everything I needed to do ( use data while on a call, and connect to any wireless spot ) , and now , here I think I am "UPGRADING" :mad: ....and these mess takes place ........this is such a "microsoft" move it doesn't make sense !

Does anyone know the ACTUAL DATE of when this so called "update" for the Droid Turbo is suppose to take place ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] johnny grep:
Keep in mind these are considered consumer devices, not enterprise-grade (e.g. Motorola Solutions). Wi-Fi performance is much better on those devices (TC55, MC40, etc)

My rooted HTC Inspire broke so I brought an "Att Tribute" phone from walmart as it has decent specs for 100 bucks(as far as I know). The phone, though, doesn't seem to have much support going for it. Huawei's website doesn't even list it(They have a 530 which isn't quite the same). I can't find any info, any way to root it(I did unlock it using the unlock code and adb), but CWM doesn't support it directly, and emotionUI 3.0's site doesn't list it to upgrade.

Does anyone have any idea how to get this phone rooted and mod'ed? (I'd like to install a custom rom on it like I did with my HTC)

Flashed but only blue light blinking in recovery mode. Not booting up.

adb reboot recovery

fastboot flash recovery Stock_Recovery

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then black screen with the blue power light blinking.

I can hold both the vol + - and power and get it to auto update the update.zip on the sdcard.

The file you sent is about 8MB. This is about the same size as the boot rom. Is this the recovery(the thing that lets you select different stuff) or the fastboot bootloader thing?

Somehow I think the recovery was restored. when I did the vol + - it updated to stock(or whatever I had on the disk, not sure). Then I used adb to reboot into recovery and was able to get the ability to update(pretty limited choices, I guess it's stock recovery and not twrp).

Anyways, I guess I can now update the os if that works....
