Assuming you do get it, could we transfer it over to the Galaxy Camera One, Wi-Fi Edition?

I don't like to be the rude one. But at this point, someone has to help root the Wi-Fi Only version, and come up with a Custom Recovery.

Not only this, but we need to see Devs, but we've got people sitting and pointing fingers instead.

I wanna see a ROM putting us all on a better version, or something more come to all the cameras.
[Galaxy Camera General] mark2410:
hmm, really wouldnt have thought so, its probably possible given the hardware similarities but i think that given the camera 1 and 2 have been such unpopular devices they havent warranted their own listings here i wouldnt hold me breath. the key to getting a ROM for a device is someone who is techy enough to do wanting to use one. i for one might like the camera but i would have absolutely no clue how to make a rom for it.

hmm surely there must be a dev out there who likes photos.
[Galaxy Camera General] Ouya-XD:
The Camera 2 has gotten support, but not what it needs.

And honestly, Developing ROMs isn't too difficult, I just don't have the time for it.
[Galaxy Camera General] cantenna:
The reason why you would want to root the camera is because you can instal Link2sd and Foldermount, with these two apps you can install theoretically 128G of apps
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
Why would anyone want to put 128GB of apps on a camera? I mean, a tablet or phone, okay...but a camera? I just don't really see the practical purpose for that. The biggest storage hog on my tablet/phone is music and movies, and neither of those require the device to be rooted to store them on the external SD card.

Again, with the way Samsung is really clamping down on not allowing OTA's to be delivered to even just rooted devices, and with the basically non-existent development support for this device, I won't be rooting it until I'm 100% certain that there's no OTA update coming for it, and even then I would only root it if someone put out a reliable custom Kitkat or Lollipop ROM for it. Honestly, if Samsung won't update it, then I'm really not holding my breath that some 3rd-party dev ever will.

It would be a heckuva lot easier to port a Camera 2 ROM over to the Camera 1 (rather than develop a ROM from scratch for either camera model), but even that hasn't been done. I don't think there's ever going to be any original development on these devices (like a CM11 or CM12). Developing ROMs isn't terribly difficult, but it's not easy either, especially not on a device that is so driver dependent like these cameras are. Just about every Android device I've owned (phone or tablet) has problems with the camera not working in some way (if not completely) on any original development project. What good is a camera with the latest Android OS if it causes the camera function not to work or even not work reliably?

I think we need to face it, folks -- these cameras are pretty much as-is. At best we're highly dependent on whatever Samsung gives us.
[Galaxy Camera General] cantenna:
Nope, I disagree. Rooting this camera is a damn good idea for so many reasons. Most tablet or phone dont have a miro HDMI, My camera, I can install apps without deleting and its not just a camera, its an android device by Samsung that comes with a micro hdmi and with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, well if you have ever thought about buying an android TV box, this is a better replacement, it performs much better than majority on the market.

And yes I agree that stock ROMs with stock drivers perform better but asop base ROM do perform much better in terms of speed in gaming and applications. What about a multi ROM solution to allow you multi-boot i.e. boot stock from internal nand and asop lollipop from from external SD, now that would be a sweet setup!
[Galaxy Camera General] mark2410:
hmmm i get your point but for me, the camera is a camera. ive got a tablet for tablety things, a phone for phoney things so what i want is camera focused and to have dropbox autoupload everything nicely.

thats the anly reasen im so fussed that i want it to get lollipop as it should then get RAW capabilities. while i realise it may not happen i will vote with my wallet. this is my first real samsung device (galaxy nexus doesnt count) and while i love oled screens and removable batteries if samsung abandon the camera, well i will abandon them. its really that simple, if they wont support devices going forward then i wont buy any other android devices from them.

if only google put out a Nexus Camera.

NK4 and rooting

I just finished the upgrade to NK4. I was trying to keep root through survival mode in Superuser Pro, but I ended up having to reroot. The upgrade via kies took about a hour. I attempted to re-establish root via Superuser but was unable to do so. I ODIN'ed the CF-autoroot onto the camera and reinstalled Superuser. I now have a NK4 rooted camera.

Since the discussion seems to have shifted to the rational for rooting, here's my take. First, it should be noted that root <> custom recovery. We do not have custom recovery for the GalCam2, so installing alternative ROM's, if available is not an option. So, why root? For me, it's Xposed modules; specifically pie controls(mmmm, pie). I've had several digital cameras over the years. In fact, when I bought this camera, I had a year old samsung camera. Why this camera? It's android, so I can to many things that would be not be possible on other cameras in this price range, like say using different camera apps.

So, if you're rooted on NC2, fear not. The water's OK over here on NK4.
[Galaxy Camera General] cantenna:
Stretching beyond practice purpose is what makes android, android. Samsung makes good hardware, this camera will never fail from overuse and $25.00 android boxes perform like $25.00 android boxes.
[Galaxy Camera General] 10amla:
I also do not use the stock launcher on any of my Samsung devices. I use lightning launcher on the camera(as well as my notes). The reason I like pie controls is that you gain extra screen space when you're using the launcher(no nav bar). So far, that's my only use of root, that could change in time; but not having custom recovery makes me very cautious in installing addition items.
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
If you think a multi element autofocus mechanical extending zoom lens and an electronic shutter are never going to fail, then you better start preparing yourself for disappointment in about 2 years. LOL.

My three $25 AndroidTV boxes have been working great for years, running Netflix and Amazon Prime video since day one that I bought them. They're also running Kitkat even though they started out on Gingerbread.
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
I'm pretty sure that all of my Samsung devices have been rooted and ROMed using Odin. My first Android device was a HTC EVO 4G, which solely used custom recoveries (unless you just like going back to the dark years of ADB), so the first couple of times I asked devs for a flashable zip, I was all but excommunicated from the XDA forum for such blasphemy. Everyone here seems to do just about everything via Odin, so I don't really sweat not having a custom recovery. Most things that can go wrong (bootloops, soft-bricks, etc.) when mucking around flashing devices are solved via Odin anyway.
[Galaxy Camera General] 10amla:
I've only used Odin for 3 things: rooting(though not towel root), installing recovery, and rolling back to stock.
[Galaxy Camera General] cantenna:
Camera 2 &quot;Software Update&quot; Received 12/20/2014

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure not to use the multi element autofocus extending zoom lens and electronic shutter when I am using my camera as an android tv box........

What's your antutu benchmark score on your 25 dollar android tv box?
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
You might find that difficult since every time the camera is turned on the lens extends and the camera sensor is powered up.

I admit I had to Google that. I've been using various Android devices since Android 2.0 and I've never heard of "AnTuTu", so I have no idea. Although I'd imagine any streaming benchmark would be excellent considering the business Internet service I have in my home, the high end Cisco APs I use, and it doesn't hurt that my Android box is sitting right next to the AP, but I only occasionally use Netflix and Amazon Prime (which works better than on any of my phones or tablets). Most of the time I use the internal terabyte hard drive and play downloaded 1080p & 720p movies with MXPlayer, which works flawlessly.
[Galaxy Camera General] cantenna:
Raises a good question, anyone know what file I have to edit to disable the lens from extending every time i turn the camera on? It should be possible with root.
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
Well, I still haven't lost my Google account settings since this update, but unfortunately their strategy for resolving this issue seems to involve heavy battery drain, especially when the camera is completely powered off. Normally my Camera 2 will maybe lose 1-2% of a fully charged battery when just sitting powered off for a week. After the update it now loses 15-20 % under the same circumstances. It doesn't seem have noticeably affected the charge life of the battery when the camera is in use. I guess if I'm going to have it sit for a while I'll need to pop out the battery.
[Galaxy Camera General] cantenna:
I haven't noticed any change but then again I'm using greenify with root
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
I'm just a little surprised by this result. I mean, I could understand if significant increase in battery drain was occuring while the camera was in use or in standby mode, but while the device is completely powered down? That's a little unusual.
[Galaxy Camera General] dimex:
Anyone have a link to the firmware? I'd like to flash via ODIN but there's no firmware listed for the US version.
[Galaxy Camera General] Buzzy42:
Does anyone else see the major battery drain? I'm nervous about the upgrade-- I'd love to get the Google logout bug fixed, but not with the price of having to worry if it'll be ready to use at a moment's notice...
[Galaxy Camera General] cantenna:
Seriously, not at all. Phenomenal battery life here after the upgrade, much better than before. Lately I have only been using this camera sparingly on the weekends, I haven't charged it for nearly a month, I still have 85% battery left, its sleeping like a baby after a dose of Tylenol.
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
Note that cantenna's camera is rooted and running a rather modified configuration with emphasis on battery optimization... So unless you're planning on doing that too, then you better be prepared to keep your camera on the charger more often.

Mine continues to lose 5-15% of a fully charged battery per day just sitting there completely powered down. The only solution is to keep it on the charger all the time or pull the battery out. Note that if you pull the battery out when you put it back in to use the camera you'll need to set the time and date again or you'll have all kinds of issues with WiFi, connecting to the phone app, of course wrong date/time stamp on the exif for your pics, etc.

My solution is that I just let it discharge. I have a spare battery and external charger so I just switch out the batteries when I grab the camera and put the discharged one on the external charger.

Why Samsung would think this is any more acceptable than losing the Google settings on an android device, I have no idea. I own quite a few Samsung products and this camera has been the most disappointing.
[Galaxy Camera General] Rewtor:
First time looking on XDA for this camera, quite surprised there isn't any activity here.
[Galaxy Camera General] 10amla:
Wow, that's pretty fast discharge. While I'm rooted, I'm not taking any measures to optimize battery usage. I'm maybe getting less than 1% per day with the current update. What's using power on your camera?
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
The latest drop was 13% in 7 hours overnight while completely powered down, with WiFi and GPS off. I don't know what Google Services is doing because WiFi is off and all sync is turned off.

Google Services 36%

Android System 18%

Screen 15%

Media 10%

Android OS 7%

Facebook 4%

Google Play Store 2%

Google+ 2%

System UI 2%
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
Okay, I finally got tired of all this battery drain hooplah. It's not like this is my first Samsung rodeo -- if you look at my signature, I own a plethora of Samsung devices, and this is pretty much the only one that's giving me this kind of issues (loss of Google account, now battery drain, etc.). It's annoying.

So, given that my Camera 2 isn't rooted or even all that customized (I have minimal apps on it -- almost all of them are directly photography related with a few social media apps thrown in), I decided to do a factory reset on it and start all over. It took me a little longer to get it back to how I like it (I guess I actually customized the settings a little more than I thought! Haha), but even now Google Services is now WAY down on the battery stats list. I don't know what was going on with that (especially when everything is setup virtually identical to how it was before), but I highly suspect that my battery drain issue is now resolved. Time will tell. I'm charging it back up again, and then I'll shut it down and leave it that way overnight and report back tomorrow.

This is one time that I would be perfectly happy if this was just something glitchy/inexplainable....as long as it now works!
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
And no more battery drain! Woo-hoo! ? I even have it running in quick startup mode!

Now the only problem is that I keep losing my custom wallpaper (old problem) but at least I'm not losing my Google account settings. I'm going to try choosing a stock wallpaper or move my custom wallpaper back to internal storage rather than external SD.

Edit: Any wallpaper setting (other than stock blue) doesn't stick if I have quick startup enabled.

I'm just happy the battery drain issue is gone. Screen is now by far the biggest use of the battery and that was most likely from reconfiguring the camera after the factory reset.
[Galaxy Camera General] internetpilot:
Well, I guess I spoke too soon, because the significant battery drain is still there -- it's just not as bad as it was. I still lose about 5-10% overnight though. I don't think it's any apps I currently have installed (they're all photograpy apps with no other fluff), but it could be that I'm using Nova Launcher instead of the stock Touchwiz. I might try removing that and see if it helps. It wasn't a problem before the latest OTA update, but Nova Launcher has also updated several times from the Google Play store, so it could still be the problem.
[Galaxy Camera General] Buzzy42:
Just to chime in, I'm not seeing any major battery drains on my Cam2 after the update. I decided to update before a big trip to Europe-- I bought a spare battery just to be safe, but only needed it one day which was surprising. I can't say there's no difference, just definitely not seeing the large 10-15% decrease overnight or anything.

Definitely worth the update to not lose the logins to Google every time I turned it on!

Still trying to decide if I want to root it to cut down on some of the bloat, or just be happy-- it was quite a trooper for me, I ended up taking it as my primary camera as space was at an absolute premium and was pretty happy overall with the shots I got.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deeshana2912:
Guys my new note 3 lte running 4.4.2 has some issues with the camera. when i switch save as flipped "on" the camera will take a photo fine. but when i close the camera app and open it again the save as flipped mode is "off" my GS4 did not have that issue at all. the GS4 takes better photos when i keep the two devices neck and neck. both the front camera and back camera are not performing like my GS4 how come the Note 3 having better hardware take poor pictures. :( :crying:

You don't need to use a toolbox, unlocking this phone is extremely simple. Toolkits really shouldn't be used anyway, they allow you to do things to your phone without having a full understanding of what's going on. Do it manually with fastboot, it's very easy, plus the experience you gain will be priceless and crucial because it's that experience that'll get you out of trouble when something goes wrong in future, a toolkit ain't gonna help you then. There are a couple of very easy to follow guides here:

hey guys, im new here but thought this would be the best place to ask.

i am having a problem with my lg g3 since i bought it, at first the phone would randomly turn off when using the camera and i would have remove the back cover and remove the battery for a few seconds just for it to be able to turn back on again, which as you can imagine with a brand new high end phone incredibly frustrating!!

a few months down the line i am having a different problem this time, whenever i have the phone on speaker phone in a call it does it again and instantly turns off. even if i take the battery out it doesn't come back on i have to leave the battery out for about a minute or 2 before it will switch back on. i have returned the phone on the first instance a week after i bought it but now i dont know what to do.. it seems it must be a widespread issue with the phone as i have gone through 3 of the same devices from the store and they all do it.

has anyone else had the same problem on here, and does anyone know the solution to it?

thanks so much for reading hope you have time to help me out as im not very experienced in phone issues.

ps these recaptcha are umm different shall i say.. ive been here for 5mins trying to get one correct am i being stupid?

Is anyone having problems with MRing and their Treo 750V / 750C??

The problem I am having is, whenever I have MRing installed, it prevents my treo from connecting to the internet and alse prevents it from sending Multi Media messages. I thought initially that it was a device or network issue, but after doing a hard reset on two seperate treo 750, connecting to the internet and sending MMS successfully, I then re installed MRing and immediately began having connection issues. FYI MRing is a ringtone manager from Motionapps
[Palm Treo 750] stewea:
MRing problems

I had the exact same issue. I un-installed MRing, and it went away. Somehow, MRing is "hijacking" the phone/data connection, most likely in order to correctly intercept the call to add the ringtone.

No issues since I un-installed. I did NOT do a hard reset, FYI, just un-installed.

[Palm Treo 750] hfielding:
thanks for the response, have you found any other ring tone manager that used mp3 from the sd card like m ring does? ringo mobile says it can do that, but it copies a small peice of the song onto the device memory ( i don't want that). I really like m ring, but it was really frustrating to not be able to send MMS or get on the internet with my 750
[Palm Treo 750] stewea:
Add MP3s

I just added MP3s using the Settings->Sounds & Notifications->Manage tab, and added them from the card. It works fine, and there is enough memory on the phone to easily support a couple of MP3s for ring tones, etc.

I sent a support request about this into MotionApps the same day I replied to you, but no response as of yet.

I like mRing's ability to manage everything from one place, but I need the data connection. Until they fix that, it's staying off my phone :-(

Our development team has been working with this issue and unfortunately they were not able to recreate it in our lab.

However, we would recommend you to try to disable mRing from Today screen by selecting Start > Settings > Today > Items tab and uncheck mRing.

mRing should disappear from the Today screen.
