It's defo a strange one. Overall if I were someone buying a phone just for camera performance I would choose 920 due to wider angle lens and manual controls (not used here) BUT the z2 has better camera apps, faster shutter speed (just) and the ability to take 60 2mp photos in a blink of an eye (timeshift burst). Tis a pickle ;)

I forgot to mention have you ever tried to send a video taken on the camera using your android phone? try it now :)

Windows will compress your video so you can send it Android will just refuse :( pretty crappy Google!

Camera aside windows is a limited os and not an option for android users.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
If i want perfect pictures then i grab my sister her Canon camera but the camera on my Z2 is great enough and remember it is a phone with a great 20.7 MP camera.

Btw

The picture of the lego blogs from the Z2 is shooted from a different corner so please make exactly the same pictures at the same point !!

Sent From My Personal MW Revolution On My Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] ipmanwck:
I was shooting most photos with one phone held above the other. 920 can get much more in the frame and general produces a more accurate photo even of slightly fuzzy. As the the 20.7 mp there is just too much noise and superior auto is the better mode to take photos in. This is an auto settings comparison after all.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Superior auto is completely hopeless mate. The worst shooting mode on the phone. Renders this comparison pointless.
[Xperia Z2 General] lucas4ever:
Can anyone write examples settings for manual mode? I'm taking a lot of pictures in quite low light environment (my flat) and it would be great to have some kind of settings base for my pictures at house.
[Xperia Z2 General] ipmanwck:
You were the one questioning if I was using the auto now your complaining that I am not using the manual settings? You should un subscribe if you can't deal with what you seeing and stop being a little troll.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
I asked the question because the poor white balance suggested you were using superior auto. I just wanted confirmation. It's no secret that auto modes on the Sony phones are hopeless!
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Look at this past posts. He is well known for making a fuss out of everything and terrorizing the board.

Anyways, some photo's colour balance are off, hope the 4.4.4 update brings the latest algorithms from the Z3.
[Xperia Z2 General] ipmanwck:
Admin please monitor zodiac100 as his posts are not relevant in this thread. Here I compare both phones in auto mode as explained and am of course willing to allow constructed feedback for both phones on this thread but negativity within this topic is unacceptable.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
Why so touchy? You posted pictures taken in superior auto and I was just pointing out that they were bound to be poor. It's no secret that the auto mode on xperias is the worst shooting mode on the device. It gets a lot wrong. Point being the lumia is sure to produce better results. Superior auto doesn't win many contests!

That's why I said the comparison was pointless. The outcome is known even without any pictures to look at!
[Xperia Z2 General] iamkani:
This photo took under low light @11pm. I think Z2 got the best camera

??????™ Z 2

?
[Xperia Z2 General] ghostofcain:
To be fair I would assume most phone users are going to be snapping the odd spare of the moment shot in which case, for better or worse, they are doing to use auto mode. Personally I need the camera on my phone to produce reasonable pics, anything better is a bonus, if I need high quality pics is use a dedicated camera.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
That's entirely true which is why Sony needs to improve the auto mode drastically and quickly too. Most users will use it in that mode, I would too if it wasn't so hopelessly poor.

I was just pointing out to the OP the futility of posting picture comparisons using superior auto. It's bound to lose pretty much any contest and that's widely known.

There was nothing to be gained from such a comparison. The result was known even before he started taking the photos!
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
You sound like a little boy who lost his lollipop, screaming and terrorising everyone at sight. You said Superior Auto is hopeless, great you've already exercised your right to express your views. But to continue ranting irrelevant and unhelpful posts repeatedly to the point where it starts annoying users, it's time for some higher up to take immediate corrective action.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
And you sound like just a fanboy! Nothing more to be said. You feel terrorised do you?

Edit..... Make that a card carrying, t shirt wearing, flag waving fanboy! Yes indeed! That sums you up accurately lol

Two pictures taken back to back. Manual mode first with white balance corrected

Second is SA! Looks like the photo was taken in a completely different room under different lighting conditions.

SA is not very good. Gets a lot wrong and consistently!
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
SA.
[Xperia Z2 General] fluxxis:
IMO both pictures have a wrong white balance and look very nervous. Perhaps to much JPEG compression?

I had a wonderful year with my Lumia 925 and have taken thousands of pictures. I know some newer models get more detail but the colors came always out right and the focus too.

My Z2 will arrive on the end of this week so I can add some comparison shots too. Stay tuned :D
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
How do you know both pictures have the wrong white balance. I took the pictures I tell you that the manual photo is spot on as far as white balance goes! The SA shot is totally off. Very whitish!

Leave to one side j peg compression, image processing and all the rest.

I'm talking of the software's ability to properly interpret info coming from the sensor and adjusting the settings for white balance, exposure, iso etc. More often than not, it over exposes, cranks up the iso too high and as for white balance, it doesn't even try!
[Xperia Z2 General] ipmanwck:
Appreciate that mate. Thanks. Need more positive posts like yours.
[Xperia Z2 General] zodiac100:
And just for good measure. The same clock taken at full res with manual settings after 4.4.4 update.

Good improvement indeed!
[HTC Excalibur] fire00:
There are so many nice themes out there, but after any applied theme, the screen of the phone application, so the call progress and part of the dialpad screen remains green - default HTC theme.

My phone is CID unlocked.

Any idea?
[HTC Excalibur] fer1962:
Ok, its easy: with a File Explorer open "Windows" folder and change the file "HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186.bmp" for another that you like.

fer...
[HTC Excalibur] fire00:
thanks fer, but I didn't find any theme which would have this image I could replace.

The only one I have is the reincarnation of the default green HTC theme, but in blue color (downloaded from this forum). This theme does have the file you mention. I moved the default green bmp, renamed the blue bmp so that the name is like the original file and it still doesn't work.

Even after I removed the green background image, it still appears when releasing the phone application. I cannot understand that :-)

Just take an example with the very nice attached skin here.
[HTC Excalibur] arfan24:
changing HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186

i keep geting that it is read only , any idea how can change it form ready only to read /write
[HTC Excalibur] fire00:
yes man, just run the CID unlock over your excalibur. (should be the right one application attached)

but it will not help you. this is what I wrote and nobody is answering me....even when you overwrite/remove/rename or whatever the original image, it will remain green.
[HTC Excalibur] bittermormon:
uhm, your sure thats CID unlock and not app unlock. You're gonna have a bunch of people trying to save $40 then complaining that they cant flash their rom now.
[HTC Excalibur] arfan24:
actually I did pay the $40 for imei-check and the only thing i cannot change is the green screen

[XDA Assist] Zulayed:
i'm using the htc one m7 android rev 4.4.3. i started to get the error "unfortunately google play services has stopped". i tried clearing app preferences, clearing cache, reinstalled google play services, reinstalled the rom while formatting app/system data and everything in my knowledge but have had no success. the error pops up as soon as i connect to a wifi network or when i restart the phone and even while i'm using the device. i went to the running apps sec before i knew the error will come and i found out that the brokered fitness service under google play services stops running when i acknowledge the error msg and press ok. factory resetting the device is my last resort but i really dont wanna go through all the hassle. oh and when i restart the phone, another error also pops up "unfortunately, the process com.google.process.location has stopped. i have location services turned off.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

A factory reset unfortunately will be one of the first things people will suggest. Then if that doesn't work, a complete wipe and reinstall of your stock software or even a rom.

But you can ask for help and other ideas here in your device section...

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gonzalezb:
Okay if i go 100% to stock 4.2.2 the version my phone came with from Verizon can i remove root and take OTA update and stay s-off/unlocked or will the OTA re-lock/s-on or no ive heard mixed answers about this thank you for any help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Currently our OTA updates will not reset the lock status or secure flag. You must be completely stock though. If you have one thing modified in system, you will have update issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gonzalezb:
Really that's the best news I've heard are you sure it won't 100% and I assumed it would reset it as its exploited awesome news and I am so I can go from 4.2.2 to 4.4.3 with no issues??
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Yes, did it myself recently
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gonzalezb:
Awsome!!

You are awesome did it and worked i wonder why people say it re-locks and s-on it don't make sense that means if yours stock and just use it for root you don't need to worry anymore.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] gonzalezb:
If I stay 100% stock and root using towel root so I still have stock recovery will remove Bloatware cause the next OTA to fail even with root removed because of missing apps???
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Correct, just freeze them, then unfreeze them when you take OTA

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z71Kevin:
So, I'm sending my Verizon Samsung S4 Sch-1545 back to Verizon for a warranty return.

So while help with bricking is needed, I really still need to be able to flash the stock ROM.

I previously had rooted my phone, and decided to flash the stock ROM via Odin v 3.09. I used the 1545VRUFNC5 ROM which is the correct one for my model.

However only partially through the flashing I get the FAIL message in Odin and now my phone is bricked and I get the message upon boot "Firmware Upgrade encountered and issue. Please select a recovery mode in KIES and try again".

I even re-tried using a different USB cable and port on my computer, that didn't change anything.

I don't know what to do now, and how to get my phone un-bricked and flashed back to the stock ROM with Odin failing. Per the Odin dialog box, it keeps failing at system.img.ext4.

Please help! I have to send my phone back to Verizon ASAP and I'm at a loss here.

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DX.Deception:
Try Odin 3.07
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z71Kevin:
Thanks, that worked and it passed. So at least my phone is working again, but I'm having other problems now.

My phone rebooted automatically to the normal home screen, however I keep getting the dialog box that won't close out that says "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" as well as "android.process.media has stopped".

So I'm not sure at this point what to do . Should I try flashing it again, or doing a factory data reset? All II'm really trying to do is take this completely back to to stock for the warranty return.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DX.Deception:
Did you use the no wipe tar or full wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z71Kevin:
I didn't know there was a difference? I used the 1545VRUFNC5 ROM .

Was this a setting that I should have chosen in Odin? The TAR file didn't specify wipe or no wipe in it's filename.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z71Kevin:
OK so I did a hard factory data reset, that seemed to fix the problem.

I installed ES File Manager and Root Checker and there's no evidence of root access or the SU binary.

Sounds like I may be good to go with sending this back to Verizon. What do you think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DX.Deception:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 that should help, remember full wipe completely wipes all data on your phone pictures and everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z71Kevin:
Cool. Thanks for all your help! Looks like I'm all set now.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geicogecko:
The first problem I have read about. My Fire shuts down when plugged in, and it will not start without unplugging it. It is charging though.

The second I haven't. It will reboot unless there is some sort of wakelock. So, to keep it idle without it rebooting, I have to set a partial wakelock. This is causing the battery to drain very fast.

This all began after plugging it into a new charger (Duracell brand). It exhibits this problem with every charger. Does this mean the charger shorted something?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dishe:
Well, good news is I found this thread with the same problem mine just started having. Bad news is I see the date is almost exactly three years ago and no further posts. Does that mean I should assume it is a hardware problem, and time to move on? So disappointed, my 2015 KF died 2 weeks ago due to internal storage chip malfunction. Now this one dies within weeks of each other?

I've just been powering my 7" HD completely off when not using it. It stays on fine when watching or reading with it, but after pressing the power button to put it to sleep, it seems to reboot. Then, after rebooting and hitting the homescreen, it will again timeout and go to sleep, and reboot again. Repeat until battery eventually dies, or I intercept it and shut it down completely. Also noticed it won't power on while charging now. Dagnabbit.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacku:
So I received my 2nd Gen Moto X last Friday. I upgraded from a 1st Gen Moto X which I absolutely love. One of the weird things that I've noticed between the two phones, is the color of the screen when it's off.

The screen on my 1st gen looks almost completely black, but the screen on the 2nd gen has a dark brown tint to it.

I've noticed this when both screens are off and I have them laying next to each other under identical lighting conditions.

Has anyone else noticed this on their phone, or have some type of explanation as to why the screen looks a dark brown instead of a dark black?

Thanks!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardgtxy:
yea, the screen is not fully black when off for some reason.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12601:
More pixels. Look at a galaxy s5 (another 1080p amoled). No amoled screen looks completely black in certain light. My s2 looked blue, nexus s looked like a rainbow.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacku:
I'm curious if you know why having more pixels changes the color of the screen when it's not on.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
using s5, s5 screen is totaly black equals to 0, if you see it in dark room or mid night without any light, you will found screen is not working but in reality its true black thats my fav part, :D its new amoled technology, unlike moto using oldest tech..
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audioboxer:
My blacks are... black? lol.

There is sometimes a slight yellow tint on pure white depending on the viewing angle, but I chalk that up to AMOLED and the price to pay for true black.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12601:
That's not what were talking about. And just for reference, the moto x is exactly the same.

He's talking about with the screen off. At the right angle there's a brown tint. After looking at it further, turning the phone the tint turns to blue like all the other amoled panels. It just has something to do with the pixel layout.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
oh gotcha, yea you are absolutely right.. every amoled is same
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacku:
Not true, my 1st gen Moto X which also has an AMOLED display is completely black when the screen is off, no matter which way you look at it. Hell, even my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a Super AMOLED display is completely black.

I'm wondering now if there's something wrong with the display or what. I'll have to find a couple of other Moto X's to compare them I guess.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
i know the reason, previous moto phones had black tint on glass on screen, means glass is black, but in s5 and other phones have no tint on glass thats why it looks brown and more bright..
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacku:
I'm not buying it. The black tint would have to be pretty dark to get rid of the brown, which would also make all the colors really dull on the screen.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvillafana:
I'm just not sure why it matters what color the screen is when its off? Don't you usually use it when the screen is on ?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacku:
Mainly I just want to check to see if everyone's screen is like this (brown tint), or if it's just a few because there was a bad batch of screens or something.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssick92:
Mine is like that when I look at it at a sharp angle in the light when the screen is off. It's simply just the type of screen, it is not a defect.

I don't think you're using this phone right. Most of the functionality that makes this phone awesome is that I use it a lot when the screen is off ;)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
i have one question, i used s3 s4 and s5,

s3 display black level was deeper but not true black like no pixel is working, like on s4 and s5 which have perfect black with 0 opacity, (im not talking about off display)

is the display which is in moto x 2014 and in nexus are also good, they have perfect black or like s3 ?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12601:
Lol they're all deep black. My first amoled was the nexus s, then galaxy s2 . the pixels shut off, its as black as can be. Maybe because of the resolution you'd notice some color fade from illuminated pixels, but the black ones were off.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lntrudeR:
I was looking around for this info and this thread was the only thing I could find about this observation. Even though I don't have the Moto X, I've noticed this on other phones, specially with amoled screens. There's a difference between screens on the same phones when they are turned off, you can notice it under direct light. Side by side, for any reason the black phones tend to have a brown tint and the white phones are completely dark. I only notice this when displays are turned off. I'm comparing two sets of identical phones, just different bezel colors. I don't think this is an issue at all, It's just an observation, however they look the same when they are on.
