[Verizon LG G3] MagmaRhino:
Hey all!

So here's my conundrum, I bought an LG G3 in July and ever since I got it I was never really impressed. The screen, which was supposed to be the main feature of the phone, I found to be lacking in color, having milky blacks, and this sharpening effect is deadly in certain situations. I can only use 1 or 2 different homescreen pictures to avoid the sharpening being prevalent on there. Not to mention the qhd is a huge battery hog and causes lag even on simple homescreen transitions (the recent update helped but didnt eliminate lag). On top of that, the bootloader was only recently unlocked so the number of custom roms out there are minimal, this may grow in the future but I'm not holding my breath.

Now, if Verizon were to carry the stock z3 I would get it in a heartbeat, however because they have the "z2" z3v, I'm not quite as convinced. I'm just looking for other opinions. Basically, I hope to be able to sell/trade my pristine lg g3 with a case and tempered glass screen protector for an also pristine sony z3v for less than $100 difference on my end. If I could do this, do you guys think it would be worth it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathan2:
I got impatient and may have made a big mistake. I ran, as root, a firewater binary that didn't appear to do anything but delete itself and exit immediately. I don't even know where I got it from, but the real firewater binary doesn't do this so I'm pretty much assuming it was some kind of malware.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened yet but I would like to be sure to be rid of it. The good news is I'm still S-ON so I only have the /system partition to worry about, right? (Firmware, bootloader, radios are protected AFAIK. Is this correct?)

Will reflashing my ROM clear /system first, or a Nandroid restore, or some other method?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setmov:
I suggest you to make a clean install of your rom. If not possible, then restore your backup!

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freechamp:
Hello all, just curious... Has anyone started work on any custom roms for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7" yet? I suppose I should ask if anyone is working on porting TWRP or CWM recovery yet? I dont know enough about porting or have the time or the system requirements to do such a thing myself, unfortunately, otherwise I wouldve hopped to already. If there is anything I can do to help someone who is working on it, I'd be more than happy to help.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tastytreats:
Hello all, new to the forum. Been lurking for a while though :o:good:

I just got a Note 4 Dev Edition. And I notice that when I launch the camera app, there is a faint "click" noise. As if the lens is moving. I'm not talking about the shutter sound (when taking a pic). This noise occurs when I launch the camera app (as the camera is starting up).

Has anyone else experienced this with their Note 4?? I found a few threads about this same kind of noise on other phones, but nothing regarding the note 4. I'm kinda OCD with this stuff :)

Thanks!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mithusingh32:
I dont hear anything.

i know my note 2 would occasionally make that noise. Specially when I'd use a Telsa App.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dapgo:
Old thread but i have same noise. It doesnt happen always but sometimes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theqwertman:
It's the focus mechanism, an electromagnet that moves the lens. If you open the camera app while looking at the rear camera, you can see it move along with the click sound. As the phone gets older and experiences more heat, moisture, and dust, this part gets noisier.

Anyone know how to fix this Walkman error? I have tried clearing the cache/data to the Walkman app but with no luck.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] LemonNinja:
Everytime I try to take a picture lately my pictures always seem a bit blurry or soft and when I hold it up to the light I see tons of little scratches. I remember hearing something about a lens scratch problem but that has a simple fix. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
There are a few fixes out there. I used a dab of toothpaste on the lens, then used a Q-tip in a clockwise motion with light pressure. You can use a soft rag once you're done to wipe the lens and any excess toothpaste off.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] LemonNinja:
Helped a bit I think, it still seems like it has some sort of soft or overly light focus that's only happened recently though
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
You may need to go over it several times to get it clear. If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may have a hardware issue. Are you having problems with blurry pics using third party apps, or with the camera app itself?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] -Apollo-:
Are the scratches gone?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
I still have some scratches around the outside edge of the lens, but the portion where the camera is is clear.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] -Apollo-:
I'm sorry man, I know your good to go, I meant to ask the OP. Sorry for confusion!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
No worries!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] LemonNinja:
Sorry about that I can't reply directly to you from this other XDA app in using. It had definitely gotten better: earlier today I was in class and I decided to use my eraser around the lens just to see if it would help and it's much improved, so I'm going to do more of the toothpaste tonight to see if I can completely fix it.

Thanks to you guys for all the help!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] LemonNinja:
Yup they're about gone now! I practiced with it a bit and it's all nice and clean now. Would it stay that way? I've never had this problem with any other phone I've had and I've gone from the HTC EVO 4G and HTC EVO LTE and not once had that weird blurry/soft problem
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
Aside from grease on your lens from your fingers, the lens will stay clear. The toothpaste (or whatever agent you used) removes the protective film from the lens.

They'll be ok, so don't be scared about that.

[LG G Flex] i4YHVH:
Background: Have a Sprint LG G Flex (LS995)

Upgraded to KK (This went well)

Using TowelRoot, I rooted the device (This went well)

Rebooted and installed SU (This went well)

Could not install CWM, instead I installed TWRP. There was a warning that said to NOT install on KK. I ignored this. (This seemingly went well, until I accidentally rebooted the device)

Phone boots to the LG logo, and stays there (Not going well)

Tried to enter recovery, (power down, power + vol down button, release pwr button, and repress ---or however the combination is)

Able to navigate, tried to factory restore (didn't happen), tried wiping the cache (didn't help), tried sideload adb (never fully loaded)

Downloaded stock ROM and LG Flash tool (with unlock dll), connected phone in Download mode (power down, then with USB cable in, Vol UP + Power button), successfully entered the mode, but PC (Windows nor CentOS) will not recognize a connected USB device.

I tried windows drivers, tried LG drivers, Android drivers, and no progress. I also swapped out the USB cable for several others, including what I believe to be an LG supplied cable.

Also tried pushing files via ADB (from desktop), and can't push the file.

I even tried random hw button presses, (pressing Vol UP + Power without USB cable, presented me with a Korean option list, which Google translate did a good job and told me the options were for an External Mode (?) with the options of On, Off, Cancel. this white page also had a IMEI barcode on the bottom of the page, since which has partially blanked out (The phone was dropped and slowly the effects are seeping into the display output).

Has anyone else FUBAR'd their device like this, and got out of it?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as I am stuck!

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prolution:
Hi guys

I need help about MiFlash!

In MiFlash I have the following problem message:

"The system can not find the specified file (0x"80070002: execute [my path] flash_all_except_storage.bat)"

What am I supposed to do? Maybe I'm a bit stupid, but I followed the guide step by step *thread* ...

Hope you guys can help me fastly, and have nice evening!
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA_Great:
Hi,

there are 3 methods to update the rom:

Method 1 - Phone's Updater app

Method 2 - From Recovery mode

Method 3 - From Fastboot mode

Method 1 & 2 use "update.zip" file.

Method 3 uses "update.tgz" file.

Using MiFlash should be method 3

Perhaps you can download the generic tgz file from:

http://en.miui.com/thread-14641-1-1.html

Or you can spend some time to look for a tgz file

that is specfic to your country and language.

Click Thanks if this helps.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManSamVampire:
Error description

There are three batch (.bat) files in the .tar or .tgz file you chose for flashing :-

1)flash_all.bat

2)flash_all_except_storage.bat

3)flash_all_except_data_storage.bat

Therefore, the error simply meant that file no.2 (as above) is missing from the archive. So you can try the other two options or redownload the flashing archive.

Contacted Google as soon as I turned the device on ?

They offered a full refund or to exchange my device, think I will wait for a few days and decide what to do!

Thing is there are no other tablets I like! See what Google is going to do, wonder if they will address these issues?

Light bleed, my nexus 7 2013 has it a bit, which then can only view when your starting up the device, but does it really impact the screen quality? no it doesn't.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaiyan:
White 32gb. I have horrible screen bleed on all corners and edges. I have never seen anything this bad. Another joke in build quality is the creaking back, every time I slightly move my hold on the tablet, the back creaks.

I might have been able to overlook these flaws if the Nexus 9 was priced cheap, but at £410, this build quality is just totally unacceptable. Its a joke.

I will be asking for RMA and if the replacement also has screen bleed, I will be requesting a refund and reconsider my desire to purchase the Nexus 9.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mooem7:
Got mine from the Play Store, (32 GB White). It's pretty noticeable especially when watching youtube videos, on the navigation bar, or with a dark wallpaper on the home screen all while in well-lit rooms.

It's not so terrible that I couldn't live with it I don't think, but given the price I paid, I expected a bit better QA work. Contacted the Play Store for an exchange, so I'll try my luck with a replacement. However if its more of the same on the replacement then I could look over it.

Sucks too since all around build quality is excellent, no creaking or bending on the back. Now I'm afraid if I replace it I'll get one with another defect of some sort. :eek:
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KinetiClutch:

Light bleed

no MHL/Slimport

flexy back allows you to push in on the battery

ridiculously low memory (16 or 32, really?)

gets pretty hot with some games.

waaaay over priced keyboard case.

For $299 or even $350 this would be acceptable but...

However, I have wanted an Android tablet with an 8-9" screen with 4:3 aspect ratio since the Xoom came out.

Take this video with a grain of salt though because I think the camera he is using is on VERY low exposure to the point where you can't see the backlight. Another possibility is that it isn't a Nexus 9 in that video. It could be a tablet with an oled screen. It does look like a 4:3 screen though.

I just received a new tablet from HTC (replacement) with a build from January (not many newer ones around) and the lightbleed is still present. Not as bad as on my earlier one, and the rest of the tablet has a much better build: good buttons, back cover with no flex, speaker grills with much better placement/finishing (my old one had grills that didn't cover the entire speaker holes). Overall feels more robust, almost weird to explain.
