I guess they won't do nothing. I sent them private message on facebook, and after the raw discussion put the link here , but I will doubt they will do something.

Well raw support would have no effect on the auto mode picture quality and the file sizes would be too big to manage for daily snap shots, but we really do need better image processing.

Sent from my Xperia Z3 Compact
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claudio917:
Agree. Raw support is totally unuseful if you don't wanna edit later your pics with photoshop or other programs.. It just gives too much unuseful information to the file, making it too heavy and it is totally absurd for some daily snapshots. So some little kids or other kind of users should stop asking for it as I don't think a lot of people here spend hours over photoshop to edit some crappy phone pictures.

However that meizu vs sony comparison is embarassing. A new company which creates substiantially ugly iphone clones has developed a better image processing software than Sony, which is in the business since years. Unbelievable.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinniezinho:
I agree with both. But I think that if sony takes time and effort to have raw support maybe they would take time to make it better too...

I'm using a SoftBank X01HT, with the latest HTC WM5 rom. I've noticed that all incoming calls, even local show a +1 at the beginning... the Canadian country code. When trying to return calls, I've had to add these numbers to my address book and then remove the +1, and then dial. Is there any way to setup the phone so it doesn't show the +1?

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bugmenot2:
Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hanmin:
I think you may dial with the +1 but you won't get charged as international call (if you are in the +1 zone). Try a number and see if you get charged.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
This is per the GSM standard. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, GSM network operators have to support +CountryCode-AreaCode-Number format, even for local calls. Leave your contacts in this format, then you don't have to make any changes when/if you travel to another country. You will not be charged long distance if it is a local call, even if you use this format.

John
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
If you used the search function this has already been addressed, and it is the standard dialling code for the US.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bugmenot2:
Sorry, I should elaborate. When returning calls that came from +1 (local calls), it refuses to connect until I redial without the +1. This is the correct calling code for both Canada and the US.

edit: I'm on Rogers Pay as You Go, and the provider shows as "UMTS Rogers". I haven't done anything special to make the phone work, I just put my SIM in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
How are you calling?? Via cellular or VoIP?? (both options are available now on WM6)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
If you are using standard GSM cellular to make your calls rather than VoIP, having +1 at the start of the number should work when you attempt to call. It works for me, I do it every day. I am not using Pay as you Go, but that shouldn't make a difference, I would have thought.

John
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Yes exactly, however using the VoIP component of WM6 the + part of the intl dialling code isnt recognised correctly, this might be the issue possibly if using PTT aswell??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Applestar:
Moderator: Please close accounts "bugmenot" etc.

First of all: Moderators, please close the account "bugmenot" immediately, here is why: http://www.bugmenot.com/view/xda-developers.com

Then: Lets really think about restricting post ability to new members.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Action is being taken on this:)

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bugmenot3:
Thanks for that ban I see how it was extremely necessary. Good luck on your future backseat moderating endeavors.

Carrying on: it seems my problem isn't the '1', but the '+'. All incoming calls show a +1, if I dial a number with a 1, it goes through fine, but if I dial a number with +1 it immediately ends the call. I don't think I'm using any voip stuff, as I'm running WM5. Is there any way to strip the + part?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
First, Moderation is often "backseat". There are only a few Mods and over 80,000 active members. In any case I don't go looking for problems, I go looking to help people with questions. If I spot something (usually Spam, or moving posts around) or a member makes a request for action then it is dealt with by the Mod or referred to the Admins. In your case it was a bit of both. In your case it was nothing to do with your posts, but the method of signing on.

Well before you get banned again perhaps you'd like to explain to the rest of us who like to know at least a little about the person we are speaking to, why this is a good idea:

http://www.bugmenot.com/

At a time when we are cautious about who comes and goes on this site (following our "situation" with M$) it does not help to know that you could in fact be 1 of several hundred using the name bugmenot. It also seems so utterly pointless since you are not required to publically display any info you do not wish to - so why not register the way you are supposed to?

Since everyones IP address is logged anyway I cannot see this being a privacy thing just an I can't be bothered registering thing!!

It might surprise you to know that many folks here are proud to be members and proud to have a

unique

identity. Your questions seem very reasonable as do the posts you make - at least so far as we know you to be one person and not one of many logging in using your sign-in details. I tried signing in the other day with one of the bugmenot passwords and yes I got on. It does not take much imagination to realise why we cannot allow open names/passwords to persist - but I would be interested to hear your side.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bugmenot3:
Why would I get banned again?

Bugmenot is a good solution for people who don't feel like juggling around hundreds of internet identities on various forums. With the Firefox extension, I can visit any website, and when prompted to login I just right click and choose to login with a public account. On here, I needed an account to search the forums and download attachments. When I needed to post a thread, I decided against making a new account since I was already cookied and able to post anyway.

By backseat moderating, I was not referring to an instance of someone reporting a post against forum rules or any legitimate reason where a moderator would be needed. I was referring to Applestar order to close the account and encouragement to limit posting ability for new accounts. I did read the forum rules before posting, and nowhere was it mentioned that account sharing or using public accounts is against any rules.

"Newbie" posts are a genuine concern on every forum, but limiting posting ability to new accounts is a horrible solution that will only delay people from post spamming or making stupid threads. A better solution is to simply make as much information available to people without requiring them to register an account. This site is a shining example of that; the wiki is full of an enormous amount of information, links to resources, and is easily searchable. A good improvement to the forums would be to enable searching and file attachment downloads for non members. If someone has come here to get a few files and to find a bit of information on their phone, forcing them to register an account is only encouraging them to post and to be a member of this community. And this being a developer community, is there really any need to encourage the types of people who came for files to have accounts?

Your Microsoft concern is completely invalid. I'd be embarrassed for Microsoft if they thought using a public account was a good method if infiltrating a community like this. They likely have people watching over these forums, and I can guarantee you they're not here on a public account or with any sort of Microsoft related name/profile.

You're right: it's absolutely an "I can't be bothered registering" thing. But in addition to that, I have nothing to contribute here. I wouldn't want to fall into the category of the hundreds of users you already have who have hundreds of posts all consisting of "thanks" or really ridiculous questions that were answered already.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Well, some good points IMHO. However the general principal is the subject of Admin consideration. I am not entirely convinced the "public account" idea is a good one given that not everyone is as sensible as you - yes if everyone were users of common sense I believe it could work well for the reasons you give, but open account information that becomes commonly known on the net could encourage the "lunatic fringe" to post brainless rubbish.

So I will take the Pontius Pilate approach- since it's Easter and start washing my hands! (Guess which part you get!)

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
thats funny stuff right there...

But maybe there is a simple solution to all of this and i have taken this suggestion to the admin.. But i think maybe we should see about granting bugmenot an account that does not have posting rights. Then people can use that account to download files. If people want support then they should register their own account... sounds simple enough to me
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
An interesting proposal. It would mean this particular "bugmenot" would have to register properly though cos he/she likes to make posts.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bugmenot3:
So, going back to the thread topic. Any ideas? I'm still unable to return any incoming calls because of the plus (+) symbol in front of the numbers. Is anyone else here on Rogers pay as you go? Do incoming calls show a "+" for anyone else?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] khammo01:
It may be the standard but they don't HAVE to support it unfortunately - Softbank in Japan does not support +country code dialing and I believe there are a couple other networks in Taiwan or Korea that are the same. Pisses me off too because I have to make separate addressbook entries for when I'm inside Japan and outside Japan.

Anyone know of any utility that can automatically add or remove digits when dialing? The Nokia 6681 smartphone had a number prefix feature that worked really well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stukes:
You should request that they strip these digits.

If your telecom provider doesn't support it then they should strip these digits. I am a Central Office Tech and this does not take a genius to remove preceding digits. So call them up and question their technical abilities! :D :eek: :rolleyes: ;) WHAT!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] khammo01:
I wish. It has been like this for 3 years now.

This is Japan. They have their own way of doing things and they will ignore anyone who questions, especially a foreigner.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] X_Farhad:
yeah, i guess Magicall can do that. although it doesn't work on WM6/Black2.0 :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] khammo01:
The website says that it supports "PocketPC Phone 2003, 5.0 & 6.0" so I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bugmenot3:
Sorry about reviving the thread, but I'm still having this problem, and have yet to find any info on a solution.

I can't return any incoming calls because of the plus (+) symbol in front of the numbers. Is anyone else here on Rogers pay as you go? Do incoming calls show a "+" for anyone else?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] naui_guy:
It seems this thread may be dead, but i will post here anyway...

i am havign a similar problem with my new AT&T Tilt (aka HTC 8925). incoming calls are in the format "+AAABBBCCCC" where AAA is the areacode, and bbbcccc is the phone number. there is NO COUNTRY code. when i attempt to return a call from the history, i get a message that the number can not be called from my area. unfortunate, there is no way to edit the number unless i first save it to my contacts, which isn't feasable.

I have called ATT 6 times, and can't find anybody that can resolve. Has anybody else had this issue or resolved?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Junner2003:
Might sound rude but: switch the provider and let AT&T know why you left! :) Only if they really get hurt by customers running off they might concider to change!

I was with AT&T before they became Cingular - I run away from their poor service. A few weeks ago I decided to give the all new AT&T another try and bought me a prepay pack to check out the network coverage.

I set up my phone and activated the card. First thing I did, was, to call my landline to see my phone# and save it. I only did let it ring 2 times and did not pick up! After I pressed the disconnect button on my AT&T prepay I got a message telling me that my 'previous call' was $0.25 - I beg your pardon!!! I did not even had a call!!!

The second thing was to try out the internet. I clicked the browser icon and the phone started to establish a connection. I got a message on the screen telling me that each transferred 1MB will cost me 1 penny! Well, sounds fair for prepay but for the moment I was not in the mood to go any further and I answered the question on the bottom if I agree to that with NO. The phone disconnected and .... I paid 1 penny!

Since it was late that night I called AT&T Customer Service the next day. The girl on the other end was not very friendly but not unfriendly either. So, I asked her why I got charged for a call I did not make and she explaint that I get charged for every attempt to dial a number! Further she explaint that all NETWORK PROVIDERS work that way but I had to disagree - I lived in several countries all over Europe and in the Middle East before I came to the US - I never ever had a provider charging me for not accomplished calls! I told her that what she said was not true and that even T-Mobile US does not work that way! Also I asked her if that would be the same in a rate plan other than prepay and she said yes! So, whenever you call someone and he does not pick up, whenever you dial a number in an accident and you disconnect immediatly: you will get charged for the whole first minute even by not reaching anyone! This is rip-off!!! :mad:

Also my question about their internet charging me even though I did not have a 1MB transfer but only this service agreement page (which might have been less than 10kb) where I selected I do not agree - so, a charge should have been after I click on agree not after I click on disagree!

Well,

this was now a bit away from the number problem but it shows how AT&T cares about standards! I really think it is about time to let them know that they do something wrong - and the best way of showing them is to leave them for a while otherwise they won't listen!

Who needs 'never-care' AT&T Customer Care? Who needs an AT&T Online Forum where you can't really say what you want without the fear to get kicked out or lose your service? Not me! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] naui_guy:
ah... problem solved....

after multiple calls to AT&T customer/technical service, and basically told me they didn't know what to do, told me to phone the manufacturer (seems like that would be THEIR job). anyway, i spoke to HTC who connected me back to ATT, but this time, was put through to someone in tech support who, not only was able to resolve, but also actualy not rude. he sent a few updates to my phone, and i was back in business...

thanks, anyway...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Junner2003:
Nice to hear you got it solved! It just should have been worked out already with your first phone call without routing you to the manufacturer, so, everyone who experiences the same problems you had will have to run amok again until a nice HTC technican routes him to the correct department - what a shame!

Can you post the updates you received? They might be useful ... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeF74:
Can you provide any more info on this fix? This has been driving me nuts on both the stock AT&T ROM and a recent cooked ROM.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrantB13:
Is the square button not multitasking? All the way to the right like all stock android versions?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandroqm:
Hmm.. yeah, maybe I did not explain myself correctly.

I meant a button to go back and forth between two apps.

Let's say you are on a hangouts session and editing a drive doc. Someone says something interesting and you want to take notes and quickly get back to the hangout session.

I had this button when using CyanogenMOD on my Nexus 5, but now I don't know how to do it on rooted lollipop stock.

Last time I purchased a Moto X bootloader unlock code directly from the chinese code seller on taobao. But as I recall it was a quite a hassle. And I can't find my taobao or alipay log in info so I would have to create new logons.

Weren't people using middlemen who knew how to speak/read/write chinese to buy from the taobao code seller last time? If so, who were they using?

Cf auto root. It will void Knox warranty.

The best way to root your device is the one most convenient for you. The method you suggested should work fine, and you can always use cf auto root as daniel suggested. I don't have any experience with towelroot but between the two aforementioned procedures you should be good to go. If you are gonna flash a custom rom there is no need to flash supersu zip save yourself an extra step if that is the case and just flash the latest custom recovery of your choice (my preference is twrp) ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisknife:
nothing u can do expect this:

turn off wlan.

or

buy a new router which won't wake up ur phone. like edimax BR-6228nS for example. that is the one i bought.

if it's not ur homenetwork then u r f*cked... nothing u can do i'm sorry.

really don't know why google isn't fixing this. had this since i first got my s2 and it was the same on s4, note 3 and nexus.

it costs so much battery but most people don't even know what is going on. they think they got good battery but the truth it it could be much better but google is lazy as f*ck.

did so much over the years to fix this and only thing helping was buying a new router.

some router got a wlan guest mode option. (my router did not have that option) if u enable it and just use it with ur smartphones u will be fine too...
