[LG Optimus G Pro] Paleskin:
Recently I noticed that every photo I take, are low in details and over exposures

I dont know what cause it, I changed roms several times before I notice it, and after I noticed it, changing roms back to stock's, or custom ones, didnt fix it at all

In the attachment, I included a sample

Another strange thing is, even after I reflashed the stock kdz using lg flasher, some of apps from the previous roms still exist

Can someone help me ?

Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] Waxim1:
You did factory reset after flashing stock KDZ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Paleskin:
yes, twice before and twice after flashing
[LG Optimus G Pro] Waxim1:
Try Xcam to see if it takes better pics.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Paleskin:
Just the same
[LG Optimus G Pro] Paleskin:
I think this problem began when I flashed blisspop, that's when I first noticed the cam's acting strange
[LG Optimus G Pro] Waxim1:
Try flashing 4.1 first and then 4.4 KDZ.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Paleskin:
I think I found the problem, overexposure happens when flash is in "Auto" and "On" modes

but If the flash is set on "torch" mode in opencamera (only opencamera supports this mode), there isnt any overexposure at all

any solutions beside reflashing 4.1 kdz ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ombadboy:
So I watched the hands-on from Carphone Warehouse and he specifically mentioned the Edge 'feature is open to developers'. This is the only place I heard this and was wondering if there are any other sources citing that the Edge features will be open to developers to take advantage of (Edge for 3rd party app notifications, etc. etc.)

For reference here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byypRIc7Uio

Unless Samsung says it's open for developers to use then I wouldn't take anyone else's word (other than a developer) but certainly not a retailer selling the phone. Samsung isn't pro-developer,.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BranC85:
So yesterday I flashed Santod's Nusense version 8(verizon base 4.4.3). Until now I have only used the stock 4.4.3 ROM since fully flashing the RUU from the OTA version. At first I attempted to flash it with the newest official TWRP release(2.8.5) but it froze, so I fastboot flashed his modified 2.8.3 TWRP, wiped, then was able the flash. My concern is that the first two times I tried to wipe in his 2.8.3 before flashing the ROM, I got an error in red text telling me "cannot mount (data/system) partition". I've never seen this before. I exited recovery, restarted, and tried again. After the reboot, it worked.

Basically my question is, since I initially got those errors for "unable to mount", does this mean my radio partitions are screwed up and I need to wipe with the stock recovery? Or could it be a harmless glitch in that version of TWRP? It's such a pain to restore everything after stock wiping that I really want to avoid it if possible. But I did get the dreaded "Unfortunately the process com.phone.android has stopped working" error in the ROM twice since then, and had to clear the cashes and let "android optimize apps" on boot to fix it. Is that a sign of the partitions getting messed up?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
The bug with 2.8.5 official twrp, is once you wipe /system or /data, it then has problems mounting either, as they are fully wiped in a way that twrp no longer sees them.

Since you did that wipe with that recovery first, you saw the errors from doing so.

Using my recovery fixes that problem....

You don't need to worry about it, since you fixed it by flashing my twrp and then Rom.

Your other error in the Rom, sounds like a bad flash though.

Might want to start over fresh and could be due to the launcher you chose in aroma.

But since I don't get any errors with the Rom, it's hard to say.
[Verizon LG G2] neondunker:
Guys,

I broke my screen, the LCD is good but the digitizer doesn't work. Aparently, this phone works differently from olders phones in which you can replace only the digitizer, but not this one since are fused together.

My question are:

Where can I buy one that WILL work? (i bought one in ebay and was faulty)

Will any LG G2 screen fit the VS980 (D805, D802, etc)?

Any help will be appreciated.

thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] morphtcat:
If you haven't already got one, you can get it at repairsuniverse - http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-g2-lcd-touch-screen-digitizer-replacement-black-verizon.html

The repair is a little delicate in that you have to completely disassemble the phone and pry the screen out. You don't need a proper heat gun, a hair dryer will work just fine. One problem to be aware of: the screen really needs to fit flush against things otherwise the proximity sensor (top left of screen) will think that something is near it all the time and will make the screen turn off and you'll struggle to get it on again. They supply you with double-sided tape and it sorta-kinda works if you're careful. Pro tip: don't do what I did and unseat the newly-installed screen without heating it - you'll damage the screen. Also, superglue seems to do bad things to the screen. I now have a fully functioning digitizer with a screen that looks like hell. YMMV.
[Verizon LG G2] andydumi:
I am also in the same boat, having dropped it this past weekend. LCD works, not digitizer.

Any thoughts on replacing just the digitizer/glass vs. getting the whole assembly with the LCD? Seems significantly more dificult, considering the heat gun/glue assembly and only about a $30 difference between the two methods based on ebay prices.
[Verizon LG G2] andydumi:
Any suggestions on getting this LCD vs. one from ebay that is also pre-attached to the frame and comes with tools? They seem identical otherwise.
[Verizon LG G2] neondunker:
Hi,

I have some experience since I replaced twice mine lol xD

There're no good quality screens (they are all copies, no OEM screens) and all 3 that I got from 3 differentes vendors suffers from yellowish spot on the lower left corner (its not my phone that has an issue, one screen actually was a phone that I bought on ebay and had the screen replaced and still suffered from that) and others from misalignment. Here's a pic that I had to send to an ebay seller to prove them that their screens were ****:

http://i62.tinypic.com/15mn1w1.jpg

And got the money back at least.

The digitizer and the lcd are fused, so if you try with digitizer/glass and screen apart, you'll have to buy optical glue in order to fuse them, if not you'll end up with two things glued together that looks awful.

If you go with the whole assembly, its luck to have one that works, so you'll have to be patient and asume that you may receive an awful screen. Luckly, ebay protect you, so if you're not in a hurry you can test until you grab the working one.

Any question if I can help, just le met know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Michael_514:
Hi guys!

So, everything is running well so far. I prefer the 8525 over my other units (SX66 and 8125), but now I have an interesting question for you guys...

I just bought two 8525s, one for me and one for my dad.

He's a newb.

When a PocketPC is gonna be used by me, I spend a good week here, and learn about all the different ROMS, the pros and cons of each Radio Version... I tweak the extended ROMs to leave in just what I need, and so forth...

HOWEVER.... Seeing as though one of my 8525's is going to a NON-Power user like ourselves....

....Would you, off-hand, based on your experience with these devices, leave it as-is as it came in the box, or do you think I should educate myself and offer him non "commercial release" ROMs and so forth.

I SIM Unlocked the one in front of me, and this is what I have:

HERM100

ROM 2.15.502.3

Radio 1.16

Protocol 32.52.7018.01H

You can REST ASSURED that in MY unit, I'll be investigating ALL the new Radio Versions, and so forth. But sometimes the consequences are not so pretty.

So, any advice is welcome...

Hand over this baby with my favorite apps,

or......

Start upgrading and then give it to him.

I've only had these for a day, so I trust your judgement more than me, and he's anxious!

Thanks!

Mike

Proto
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ronfin44:
If he doesn't care about it other than "it makes calls", then don't waste the time and just hand it over. Why take the slimmest chance of running into problems if you're just handing it over? If he only needs it for a phone, I wouldn't mess with it. It works fine right out of the box w/o adding a lot of junk to it.

As for yours, knock yourself out! I love tweakin my 8525 and don't care if I run into a wall, unless its a brick wall. ;) Part of the fun is learning to work through the problems you incur. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] The_Hawk:
It's a real toss up, on one hand leaving it stock will have it's advantages as he won't have to wonder if he's doing something wrong or if it's a "tweak" issue.

On the other hand, most of these ROMS are pretty damn stable anyway.

I'd lean towards upgrading it (after you have done yours) to whatever you use. That way you will be better placed to fix anything he breaks as you will be more familiar with it...

That and I just like upgrading things.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Michael_514:
This is cool advice... and I agree with both trains of thoughts.

Let me then try to focus on the Hermes/8525:

I dunno.. I have been using mine all day, and it's worked like a charm. Bluetooth worked well. Battery life seems acceptable. Can surf via wifi and via GPRS. Seems like the production ROM ain't so bad!

When it came to my SX66... oh my god... the production ROM SUCKED big time! Radio problems! Bluetooth problems! Memory management problems!

With the 8125... the ROMS were useful, but had their share of quirks... "The system font changes to Times new Roman"..... "The Close GPRS button no longer works..." etc.

So, are the 8525 ROMS really pretty stable?

Overall, do they really do a lot of good?

Beleive me, for my device... I plan on spending the next two weeks learning EVERYTHING!

But for him... Is there any real compelling reason to say, "That Radio version is TERRRRIBLE!" or "You will increase battery life by 100% by upgrading the ROM!!".... or, not so much?

(I think I am just being lazy and wanna give him the unit already!! :) I want to read the Wiki and explore the ROMS at my pace!)

But I gotta tell ya... so far... mine is behaving quite nicely, with no ROM tweaks.....!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] trashcan:
The stock 8525 came with a buggy WM5 and it hangs couple times a week..why not put Vanilla WM6 OS onto the phone and make it a more stable, longer battery life phone for the non pro to use?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Michael_514:
Gulp!

I was afraid someone would post something along these lines!

I spoke to my dad. I have until Wednesday to play, then he wants his unit.

Until then, I'll see what I can absorb!

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] JasenR:
Besides wanting his phone by Wednesday, what does he want? Did he ask you to tweak it or upgrade it? Perhaps he would enjoy reading some of the threads here himself? I would say the decision should be his since he will be the one using it. If it were me I would give it to him factory fresh, show him this site, and offer to assist him if he wants to upgrade or has any problems with the "out of box" config.

PS: don't brick the phone trying to rush an upgrade by Wednesday!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Michael_514:
You know what?

I totally agree with you.

I think I will just leave it as-is (after unlocking it), plus I'll put in my usual killer apps (spb pocket plus, Voice Command, Weather Panel, Adobe, MS Reader, 1-calc, etc.)

And leave it.

ALTHOUGH.... I do have to say....

My unit required three reboots in two days.

Frozen!

Also, the battery life seems to be pretty crappy.

AND, I am hearing some pausing/skipping in the audio.

Soooooooo....... I think I'll have to read up way more on the units.

But in the meantime, I'll give him mine on Wednesday, which is fresh.

Then I'll do some serious research here.

Upgrade mine.

Then I'll ask him for his back, and upgrade it, too.

I am surprised that the unit isn't so stable after all.

I guess that's why we all come here in the first place! :D

Hey,

Could You please modify the upcoming egde kernel so that the screen won't turn on when the home Button is pressed inside our pockets. It would really improve our battery and omit unwanted pocket photos. LG already has it in all their G series, it's a simple proximity Sensor addon.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedin07si:
While I agree with having a option to wake with the home button or not. Use a pattern or password lock screen. You can omit having a camera icon from any lock screen.

That way if your screen does turn on, the likely hood of taking pictures or pocket calls is very minimal.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marky91:
hi. im a brand new rooter. i got a preowned s4 mini last week and decided to root it using a guide here(im very new to all of this) i deleted bloatware and use apps like greenify, setcpu, wakelock detector all to my knowledge have been done right and im still having crap battery times. worse than my 5 year old iphone 4s!

i can post any screenshot of stats upon request but from my new knowledge of all of these apps and rooting, i see nothing out of the ordinary. if im being honest, "battery doctor" seems to be a nusiance to my battery. but it often gives me reminders that my phone is draining quickly with 29 apps open that i cant delete with app master or even see on greenify. some of them are..favourite contacts, active apps manager, s planner widget, csc, remote controls, factory mode, alarm and video player. the rest are the ones above like setcpu, greenify etc.

so im asking..what now? ive seen mentioned that getting rid of touchwiz and installing a new ROM like cyanogenmodgod. but what then?

ive no idea how to understand some of this but im fine with following instructions with technical stuff i.e rooting my phone in the first place.

i really hope i can be helped as im really liking my first android experience bar battery life :rolleyes:

ill do that later when ive spare time. ill write a little update for now..

tried CM11, simply did not like the UI, i much prefare the stock s4 mini UI (touchwiz?) so ive reverted back. ill be sure to post screenshots of wakelock, battery screen etc.

my signal is rarely above 2 bars if 2 at all..ive changed the settings from LTE to the one that means 3g...hopefully the more stable 2..sometimes full bars saves battery!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marky91:
heres screenshots of various things.

notice how battery doctor has many aps as being in the backround even though i greenified them AND turned permissions like "always on" to OFF so there isnt a reason why they should be on.

If you go to settings > Battery > Battery graph , does it show the phone actually sleeps? (the "awake" bar)

I attached a screenshot , if the bar is compleatly highlighted , this means the phone does not go in sleep.

If this is not the case , i suspect something is wrong with you battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marky91:
nope..the awake bar does have bits missing (being asleep, right?) i seem to be getting acceptable charge times as of late..some games make the phone very warm and do destroy battery % but so did them games on my iphone 4s. this phone isnt brand new..it is almost new..im "happy" with the battery times now but not so much as i expected better times than my 4s but its about the same at best. i may try an OEM battery someday and see if that gives me even a 10% increase.

any advice on charging? took me about 2.5 hours to fully charge..about 1.5 of them hours, i had the phone turned off..the rest was on airplane mode
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wout.vde:
That indeed means the phone is sleeping.

What kind of Screen on time are you getting ? do you leave bluetooth / 3G / Wifi on all the time ?

3G and especially 4G is a huge battery killer.

EDIT

About the charging , i generally just charge my phone at night functioning as a clock since the battery lasts me a full day.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marky91:
i have wifi only on. its on most of the day, i turn it off while i sleep or if im out and about with no hotspots about.

i seen on youtube something about a faster touchwiz thats available here..it apparently helps battery life?

also nova launcher may help with battery life too?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wout.vde:
Other launchers probably won't help with battery life.

I'd suggest turning off any radio's you don't use and (off course) keep the brightness low. What kind of screen on time are you getting ? (Settings > battery > screen )
