Yes, I did. All my tests and conclusions were based on my S3 and S5 experience
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manubaba:
Well I read your post thoroughly and felt that you have written a reflection of what is going through my mind.

Exact same issues !! If you read my twitter feed ~ 10 days ago you will be happy to know that you are not alone.

I noticed the problem in the first 2 days of purchase and took it to a Samsung store few days later. They were very defensive initially but after 10 mins of technical conversation with a dude who did not know much about the difference between camera resolution and screen resolution I could show them the blur. Both on my phone and on a PC they had in store.

We did some like for like comparison with another note 4. Problem was evident.

They advice me to go back to service provider (Virgin Australia) and request a replacement under early life hardware failure.

I am now playing the to and fro game with my service provider who are throwing in all sort of hurdles. Hope I get a replacement !!!

Typical problem of the Note 4's software.

I also opened a thread for discussing the matter - but people just did not understand the problem.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinava:
Yes Chefproll, here they are ;). Plus two new ones taken today.

See, when I focus on the left side of the screen, almost the rest of the picture is blurry and when I focus on the right side, the left part of the picture is blurry...

I assume the lens is off-center mounted :/...

SO I found out from android central forums that if you shake it for like 30 seconds it works so obviously its a problem. I tried google camera and camera 360 and neither worked but my front camera is amazing. I'd suggest a swap for a brand new unit.

They are Extremely blurry, Did you by chance forget to take the protective plastic off?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yathani:
I was thinking the same too.

I own N910C and i don't have this issue at all. I know there are two types of camera lens in the note 4 one is Sony and the other one is Samsung. Maybe you have one of the others ?!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ywen123:
Glad i found this thread.. I have the exact same issue with my note 4. You need to be knowledgeable with photography in order to articulate the issue and identify the problem.. Most posts keeps talking about the protective film.... Arghh

However the issue is not constantly there for me... It's almost as if the lens module is mounted loosely, and it can go out of alignment relative to the sensor, creating a tilt shift effect.

Sometimes it seems if i shake the phone, or tap a few times on the camera lens, the issue goes away...

Very frustrating. Did you ever resolve it?

Thought it might be the ois acting up... However i couldn't disable it for stills...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandur2000:
I have the auto focus issue as well. shaking the device or tapping the bottom a few (hard) times makes the cam focus properly. Problem is there all the time, although after focussing properly gone, then reappearing after camera app close..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijeff:
I've also noticed this issue. I have more problems focusing on the left (Samsung logo) side of my camera sensor. If I flip the phone over, the same side of the device produces blurry details while the other captures it crisp.

http://imgur.com/kEnHKg2

http://imgur.com/dF9jHBD

Notice how the bag is clear in one, blurry in the other. The Samsung logo side of my device seems to always be blurry in photos of objects about a meter or more away. I have been unable to focus altogether on distant objects where the entire image is blurry.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hertshammer:
Stock Nexus 10 - Not rooted.

Following OTA upgrade to 5.0.1 LRX22C

Connection to home wifi cannot be maintained. After entering the password, approx 4 seconds later, the connection drops. Subsequent attempts to re-enter the password result in the error "failed to connect to network".

If I turn off the device wifi off and on again, I can reconnect for all of 4 seconds once again, before the connection drops once more.

I can connect to the wifi hotspot on my phone without issue.

If I start the device in safe mode, it will connect to the network, and remain connected indefinitely.

Unfortunately, this is my daughter's N10, and there are hundreds of apps installed. Methodically uninstalling them, and trying the connection will take me weeks.

Are there any suggestions to more quickly identify the app that is causing the wifi to drop?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrenW:
I think one by one is the only way to be sure. I have though heard that anti-virus apps have proved particularly troublesome for some people on Lollipop. If there's anything on the tablet like that then I'd look there first.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
Have you powered down/up the home router? Or forget and then add the wifi details on your tablet again? It won't take that long to uninstall a bunch of apps at the same time. You could do a binary chop, or do ten at a time. Reinstalling a bunch of apps - all of them, even - won't take too long if you do it via the google play web site.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hertshammer:
Solved.

It was McAfee All Access. And specifically, the Web Security, Wifi Security setting.

Turned off wifi security, established the connection, saved the connection, then turned wifi security back on. No problem anymore.

Why it did it is not yet understood. We have several android devices running McAfee security. Only the one with Lolliepop suffered this issue.

Thanks for the tips guys.

Crespo4g (Nexus S 4g) Kernel for 4.4 Roms

I've read amongst the multiple threads that OmniROM 4.4 works well with the Nexus S 4g, and even has gapps working. I've installed both, and am stuck at the boot screen for Omni.

I've let it sit for about 20 minutes, but haven't had anything happen yet. The animated just keeps wiggling its antennas and blinks at me.

It all boils down to the kernel at this point. I had an older kernel from a year or two ago on the phone, and I don't remember which one it was prior to wiping and such. I found one called "crespo_devil_20131025_VC.zip" and put it on, since others were suggesting "GURU" or "Devil" kernels.

Same results. I realize crespo is the GSM version of the phone, but figured I'd give it a shot since I don't use the phone on a phoneplan.

Where can I find a Kernel for crespo4g that is compatible with 4.4?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathuaerknedam:
I've described my experience with each of the available kernels in this ROM's main thread (starting here), but I'm currently favoring the Devil kernel you mentioned. I include links to each kernel. There are still a few kernels I've not tried.

No clue how you managed to build, I've been trying for days!

Anyhow, booted it up and it restarts repeatedly at the 'starting system apps' stage. Here's a logcat:

https://bpaste.net/show/6aaa730e0985

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

I should also mention that the installation initially failed. The device calls itself 'aries', not 'd5803'. Had to modify the script in the ZIP before flashing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] m0d:
Magic!

But, there is no magic.

Send me your build error,

And also the error for show commands and I will try to help.

As that is the secret. In programming I come to find more and more that there is no better place to go than an actual person - not all errors are documented and some strange things happen for no apparent reason, or so one thinks.

Yes, someone mentioned that before.

Not sure where to look.

I did find this in BoardConfig.mk,

# Assert
TARGET_OTA_ASSERT_DEVICE := D5803,D5833,z3c

And, in init.sony.usb.rc - this:

on boot
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iSerial ${ro.serialno}
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iManufacturer ${ro.product.manufacturer}
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iProduct ${ro.product.model}

The problem is sony calls the device aries, the code for the device is d5803, and the device tree by cm12 is z3c.

I like z3c but if anyone knows where, maybe one of the mk files, to make the changes?

Any help appreciated. I am learning as I go and as I said above:

I only compiled device tree, no changes as of yet, other than small fixes for compilation.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Gairtial:
The build errors started with libtime_genoff.so being missing from the output directory so I manually copied it over and it continued on fine.

There were some issues with AAPT but I manually fixed those (and submitted patches for review to Gerrit).

Just waiting for the build to complete now. Are you on IRC/Hangouts or something? Mind if I PM you so we can talk a little more freely? :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nelvinchi:
Check your build.prop in your compiled build folder (/system) and look for the variables below:

"ro.product.device" "ro.build.product"

If you want to change the values, mount your system.img, make your changes and make new .img

(PM me if you need help with this..)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jsscx:
it's not hard to delect the first sentence in updater-script in zip,then we could get it flashed
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] m0d:
Uploading new build I made with following:

I added to check for aries as well:

# Assert
TARGET_OTA_ASSERT_DEVICE := D5803,D5833,z3c,aries

Which updates update script to:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "D5803" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D5803" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "D5833" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "D5833" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "z3c" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "z3c" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "aries" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "aries" || abort("This package is for device: D5803,D5833,z3c,aries; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + "."););

Build prop is not the problem, consistency is.

ro.product.name=D5803
ro.build.product=z3c
ro.product.device=z3c

CM uses the above. Sony uses aries.

So I guess checking for all three, and the variation(D5833) should work in the end.

No, but that is not ideal. It should check the for the correct device.

But, the problem is that there is no consistency so I guess checking for all four should do it - D5803,D5833,z3c,aries.

I am not sure if I had any problems with "libtime_genoff.so", I checked the proprietary files list and it is in none of them.

The aapt was fixed in a commit, z3c.mk is now

PRODUCT_AAPT_CONFIG := normal hdpi xhdpi
PRODUCT_AAPT_PREF_CONFIG := xhdpi

And it compiled fine.

DPI also had a commit to change to 320.

So doing a repo sync should fix those previous issues.

I believe there was an issue with proprietary files as the proprietary-files.txt has been updated.

And now I have no errors when extracting files, so maybe camera files now are getting tranferred.

Review with updated changes just for z3c - http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_z3c,n,z

Maybe a commit will be needed to fix update script as mentioned above,

# Assert
TARGET_OTA_ASSERT_DEVICE := D5803,D5833,z3c,aries

I believe there is a pull request with that specific change as well.
