[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] daswahnsinn:
Okay, so I left for work yesterday/today, doing two shifts, and I had 4G/LTE when I left but when I got to work I had 3G. No big deal right? I updated the PRL and Profile, nothing lost all signal and it takes 3-4 minutes before the 3G returns. So I did a dirty flash of V3, same issues. So then I Odin flashed the baseband/modem for NH7. Reboot still same issues. Then did a clean flash, updated PRL/Profile, still 3G. I know most are thinking the tower might be having issues but I work at the company that monitors the Sprint tower, actually 500 of them. The 4G is fine so I'm at a loss at this point. Any help or insight would be great.

EDIT: It's working now, I guess someone was remoting into the radio heads and doing something, IDK.

[Samsung Gear S] bennie joe:
I just found a new app for my GearS. SmartThings released a Tizen app specifically for this watch!

We have a SmartThings hub and can control our lights in the house with our phones as well as set up IFTTT type scripts. With this new app, I can now turn off the lights with my GearS!

It is still very basic and I can't do all the same things the phone app can, but it is still pretty cool!

Thought I would share this here...

I have been on dfuses stock rooted 4.4.2 D95920h for quite time now. Today I decided, after reading that others took the T-Mobile updates and were able to regain root, to take the updates. I first used the stock D95920h.kdz and the lgflashtool 2015 to flash to stock no root and no custom recovery. I took the first update (D95920m) and rooted with towelroot no problem. I then had to unchecked in the settings the "use network time" so I could manually change the date ahead to Jan 20th. That's the earliest it would let me search and take an update again. So I downloaded the D95920s update and let my A.D.D. take over and used the freedom flex.apk to install twrp. And later on I clicked install update not thinking about having root or custom recovery. And to my surprise the D95920s updated just fine as if my phone was stock except it updated through twrp. I was shocked. I then tried to reroot with no success. I tried everything from ioroot, stump, saferoot, towel root, even tried all the commands manually through adb. No luck. So I flashed the D95920h with the lgflashtool 2015 again and started over. This time rooting and installing twrp first and then only upgrading to the D95920m so I could root and push the twrp bumped.IMG. I'm going to dissect the D95920s update and edit the meta-inf folders updater script to not reboot when completed. Then before I reboot out of twrp and lose custom recovery I'm going to try to flash an updated supersu.zip as well as my flash able twrp.zip. to try and see if we can regain root and custom recovery on the latest update.

Buy moral of the story the update did its thing using twrp and didn't reject it. Or abort it. Even the the second go around when I went back a few versions and updated again it did just fine with twrp and I was not able to maintain twrp through update but was able to use twrp to update. Weird. I don't suggest trying this. My discoveries were purely accidental. And lucky I didn't end up with a mess to try and figure out how to get back up and running.
[LG G Flex] virus154:
Matt, can you share lgflashtool 2015 and how to use it? I updated to D95920s and lost root, twrp, and download mode.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Yeah sure... It's self explanitory... But yeah ill upload it to drive in a lol bit and post a link.. It's the same basic tool as the lg flash tool or pc suite's restore upgrade errors tool it uses. It just doesn't go through all the update checks and checking the Internet for updates for it and the firmware its flashing..... I found it in the G2 forums... Can't remember where... But a dev in the G2 forums modified the lg flashtool to just work no questions asked.. No software upgrade check. No flash tool registration key check. No "must have internet connection" check... All that is required is that you already have the stick firmware you want it to flash... Preferably flash same version you're running. KitKat - KitKat... Jellybean - jellybean..... No need to be in download mode, it will reboot you to download mode ittself.. Figured that out when I went to the d95920s version and couldn't root... So I flashed the stock 4.4.2 kdz abs starts all over.. I've restored it 3 times this weekend already.... Lamo

[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
There are 2 lg flash tools posted in that forum the OP is one that causes errors people complained about. The one on page 10 (see pic below) is the fixed one. Notice the comment under the download link it says "download the fixed version".

We can't access download mode but the lg flash tool can put you phone in download mode from normal boot. You must have the .kdz for your variant of the previous version you want to downgrade to easily accessible. Then make sure you have the drivers from that post installed. I had an issue when I also had Samsung kies installed so I uninstalled kies. Then reboot PC. Open that lg flash tool and pick the setting 3qgct or whatever it says like that in the left middle ish drop down box. Then in the right middle ish dropdown box select emergency then at the bottom click flash

Don't worry about the default language saying Korean. It will recognize your lang as English when it does its thing.

I can't explain it any clearer.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Oh then after you click "normal flash" the next screen select "start' then hit OK on the lang screen

While its doing its thing. Open your web browser navigate to this thread and click the thanks button. Over and over and over.

Matt, I got an error "The phone is disconnected from PC" It's plug in and I can see adb on device manager. Any ideas?
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Make sure the drivers are installed. I have found I have issues sometimes with LGS flash tools when Motorola's or Samsung's drivers are installed
[LG G Flex] virus154:
I finally got it to boot me to Download mode!!! I think what I did was when plugging to the computer the "Select USB Connection mode" pops up. I choose "LG software" and let the drivers install to the PC. I followed your instructions and got it to flash the kdz. Thanks a million!
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
No problem brotha that's what we're here for. Yeah now that you mention it it does seem like its not recognizing the usb connection correctly. Seems like I do remember having PC software checked and it recognized it like it was in mass storage mode. But when I put it in "MTP" mode my PC wouldn't recognize it. But if I switched back to PC software I would get the popup window on my PC asking how i want to open it.

But anyway. Glad you got it running. And yeah I renamed the flash tool on my PC to 2015 cuz the other one was called 2014 so to quickly distinguish between the newest (working)

and the older (not working) version .
[LG G Flex] dmifsud44:
Would you be so kind to upload a screen shot of your settings in flashtool. Also any other helpful advice for someone trying to get into download mode?

Finally after so long :)) thank you so much to anyone having trouble a few tips:

There will be many errors but you should ignore all of them unless the flashing wont go on any further.

phone must be in lg software mode and use the setting pictured above.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cainn24:
So I recently read somewhere that Samsung have not implemented the latest camera API that supports full manual control and RAW output on Lollipop.. And I only found this out after going to the trouble of installing XtreStoLite INTL v.2.0 Lollipop BETA 4 on my 900i and trying to have some fun with Camera FV-5. I'm a little irritated at Samsung for this omission and hope they rectify the situation soon. In the meantime, are there any ROMs out there that have this implementation, or is it something that can only be pulled out of an official Samsung ROM once they get their act together? I've tried a CM12 nightly with no success as well. Camera FV-5 says there is no support, and L Camera just wont run at all.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cainn24:
Ok, so I've done some additional research, starting here and here. In a nutshell it is up to Samsung to utilize the additional camera functionality that Lollipop has brought to the table, which among other things requires a reworked camera driver I believe (as mentioned here). And since I don't think we'll ever see a sufficiently capable open source camera driver it seems that we will indeed be at Samsung's mercy here when it comes to the arrival of features like manual camera control and RAW output on the S5 running Lollipop.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
Thanks for your research. It is annoying that Samsung chooses to ignore this issue and not add more manual options. Maybe they're doing that on purpose so we buy their K Zoom series? No idea, but that's annoying since it is so easy for them to add that. Many companies have added manual controls even before kitkat! Samsung thinks they know how to optimize their camera better than us and want us to shoot the way they want us to shoot, not fair..

I'm afraid that S6 will kill any further development on S5.. so forget about camera2 API?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] run4fun:
Shame on Samsung

I'm afraid DJ Palmis might be right.

Rumours are that the new S6 will support the Camera 2 API. This offers a possibility to differentiate the new flagship from the previous one.

But it hurts since I've bought the S5 plus only 4 months ago and I did this while I anticipated the new Android 5.0 functionality and specifically the

ability to use the RAW format. I can hardly accept that my new camera/phone should already have become obsolete.

I hope that it will be possible to derive a new driver from the new S6 driver.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HugSeal:
Well, I e-mailed Samsung asking them when they would release an update with a new camera driver and the answer I got was (translated to english): "We will begin updating this successively but presently we unfortunately have no date for when the update containing the camera 2 API will be released. But the update is under development!"

So it seems they are atleast working on it.

It depends on the meaning of "firmware update". For example there will be no Lollipop for Galaxy S3. No news on Galaxy S4.

That's because when firmware upgrade is related to some deep OS changes.. Mobile brands simply ignore the old devices.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jm_38:
Hello,

I have worked on Android camera SW porting in my now defunct previous company (STEricsson). The fact that a phone supports the new API depends on several things all of which are not Samsung decision only.

The Samsung Android camera application (java one) depends on the Android framework Camera HW services abstraction. The Camera HAL. This camera service is implemented by whatever compagny provides the phone processor.

So if your GS5 uses a qualcomm processor, having the new Camera2 API depends on qualcomm implementing it.

Now for what is related to having support for RAW camera images it is more a system issue.

2 types of Camera chips exists. The ones that do all of the image processing on the camera chip itslef (SOC camera chips), the ones that delegate the image processing to the phone chip (RAW cameras chips).

The cameras that do the image processing in the camera chips (SOC cameras = system on chip cameras) usually directly stream jpeg images to the processor chip. With such camera, the famous RAW format stays inside the SOC camera and is hence not available to the phone processor (the qualcomm chip for instance).

The RAW cameras on the other hand do almost no image processing on their own, they send the raw images to the phone processor which will do the processing.

So in the end, if for a given phone (GS5 or other) Samsung has chosen to use a SOC camera you will never have RAW image support whatever the ROM you use, if Samsung chose to use a RAW camera chip, it is possible one day to have support for RAW images.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elltg:
RAW imagery is not the only perk of the Camera2 API. I am not too bothered about RAW because personally if I am taking photographs that I am that bothered about I will use my DSLR.

I just want to have manual focus so that I can overcome it when autofocus just focuses past and misses my target making me often completely unable to take an infocus picture!

So I understand what you are talking about in regards to the SOC and RAW camera chips. What is the situation in regards to the manual control that camera2 could bring?

Are there situations where the manual controls (aperture, focus) are also taken care of independantly by the camera chip rather than being available to the processor of the phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jm_38:
Hello,

First there is usually no aperture control on camera phones because the sensor are so tiny you always want to use full aperture on them. I have never seen any phone camera that would have eg an iris for aperture control.

Since with max aperture (ie the camera fixed one) you already get a much bigger field of view that what you usually have with a DSLR, there is no real added value to have aperture control on a camera phone.

An introduction on camera module (the lens, af,ois) can be found here:

http://www.samsungsem.com/global/product/module/camera-module/index.jsp

For what is related to having a camera soc that would let the phone processor control manually the focus (on top of letting the camera soc doing the auto focus on its own), I have never encountered one but this does not mean this would not be possible.

In any case as long as Camera 2 API are not mandatory, it is not in the interrest of the phone manufacturer to support them because phone manufacturer will rather have specific (non standard) Camera API to enable its own Camera application than let

any third party camera application perform better than camera manufacturer one.

This is where phone manufacturer (because they compete a lot on camera performance on high end phone) would rather keep existing Android fragmentation whereas Google would rather push lower level API that let any third party camera application benefit from all the feature set of the actual camera HW.

Thank you for taking the time to write this explanation. It is the best one I've read! Now the whole DNG issue (not being available on many older phones) makes sense to me.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

You are missing half the point of controlling the aperture. It controls "Depth of Field" as a by product of it's main function: controlling the amount of light that enters the lens. This is 1/3 of the exposure equation. With full manual control (ISO, shutter, aperture) the photographer can manipulate the exposure to bias towards their particular needs. Be it controlling motion, or (yes) depth of field, or shooting in very bright or very dim conditions. Having a manual aperture would be very helpful to those who know how to use it.
