I recently bought an s3 SPH-L710 , and as it turns out it has an unpaid bill on it, so I can't switch it to my straight talk account. I've tried doing research on my options, and so far Flashing it seems to be the only way, but Id rather not pay that much to have someone else do it. I'm kinda tech savy myself seeing as I rooted it with Odin3 and PhilZ-Touch , and everything, so I'm just curious as to how I would get the IMEI clean to switch it to straight talk. Any help would be muuuuuuuch apprieciated.

Thread closed: We do not allow discussion of how to circumvent someone else not paying a bill or how to clean or alter IMEI numbers. The only option I can recommend is contacting whatever company is owed the bill and hoping they will do something for you.
[Sprint LG G3] asacado:
I'm using the zerolemon battery on mine and I see the cpu temp between 50-60c with normal usage and spiking to 72c with gaming or twrp flashing. Is that about normal?
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
To be honest as far as I know there is no "normal" it all depends on how much you use your device. It also depends on what you use it for, you are also using a "non-LG" which kinda makes it harder to find a "normal". Although I use the lg battery with stock ZV8 and I just ran this mod and has made it a lot cooler and faster. I will link it so you can try it, it also boosts data speeds.

i dont find kernel for rooting the device and cm rom for it
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is CM for your device, this is pretty common for low popularity devices like this one. I only found one custom ROM in my searches:

[ROM][2.3.6][SAMSUNG GALAXY BEAM GT-i8530] Breezing Beam v1.0.1

It's very old though (Android Gingerbread).

It looks like you can at least root your phone though:

[Root] Samsung galaxy beam I8530

And if you can root your phone you can use Xposed Framework to have some level of customisation at least:

Xposed - General info, versions & changelog

Xposed Framework Modules

Good luck!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixus:
Hey everyone,

So I recently got my Nexus 6 from motorola and it's been great. Today though, I tried watching Netflix with headphones and was getting random pops or crackles in the background. It's only happening with Netflix, youtube and music plays fine.

So i was reading online that turning on developer options and disabling NuPlayer would help. So I did that, but it didn't change anything. So I went back to developer options and hit the off toggle at the top. This seemed to just shut everything in there off though, including nuplayer. Is there a way to just reset the developer options to default?

All you need to do is enable developer options and put the nuplayer back as it was, although its best top leave that off anyway.

There is no option to set it to default in normal way. You'll have to do that yourself. That's why it's "Developer Options" :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seklerek:
As we all know the sensor and lens on the Z3 are some of the best on the market right now. However, for some reason, Sony, who make maybe the best compact cameras out there, seems to have failed miserably in regard to the camera software in its phones. All photos come out with little detail, soft focus, artifacts and overprocessed. Do you think that will get fixed in 5.0(2)? Will the camera finally be comparable to, say, the Galaxy Note 4 or some of the Lumias?

Regards.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AM Radio:
what terrible camera?

i'm no Ansel Adams, but i think the Z3c has a great camera, especially once you get the hang of it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthiastan5:
In theory yes. With Lollipop we will be able to take RAW images with the camera due to the new api. RAW images are unprocessed, straight from the sensor. The Sony camera sensor is good but the software image processing isn't. Taking photos in RAW eliminates the poor image processing so the images should be much much better.

Sent from my D5833
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatimmortal:
I actually agree on this, especially when taking photos. All the other devices I used before my Z3 Compact did not try to focus again after I already touched focus a certain area, but my Z3C actually does so as I press the shutter button. It also has trouble trying to focus on really close objects, only able to get precise focus 1/10 of the time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro_explorer:
I personally use google camera for simple, clear, low-processed pictures. The drawback is that the photos cannot be saved on the sd card w/o root.

Or, you can very well use the manual mode - this one also is pulling some nice photos, w/o blur,
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lol1rfs:
Atleast on the regular Z3 you can choose to save photos and videos on the sd card directly.

Camera, the three blocks, settings icons.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSRBIKER:
I'm currently playing around with the app ABetterCamera and so far images are taken faster and low light photos look much better. They have an option to choose where to store the photos and if you choose external card it gives you the message Android doesn't allow that...BUT there is an option to choose custom folder which I pointed to the SDCard and it worked!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michyprima:
Yeah I find the camera terrible too.

My dads Note 2 takes much better pictures. If I put them side by side at a certain distance and take a picture of a piece of paper, on one I can clearly read what is written on it, and on the other it's all blurrines. I didn't expect this camera to suck that big especially compared to such an old low-res camera.

If that was not enough, colors are much more innatural on the sony, while the note 2 reproduces them much better...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSRBIKER:
Unless you print out the pictures or look at them on the same screen it's really not possible to compare color reproduction from camera to camera.

Try ABetterCamera app, for me it takes better shots.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribemac:
If you use the sony camera yes you can, but he was using Google camera that can't save to Sdcard.

Back camera is mostly ok. But the front camera is the worst! I cannot wait to sony fixes this soft skin efect bug. It's driving me nuts!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00182:
I think the camera Lumia 925 that I had, much better than the camera's compact Z3. To be honest, the camera of this device did not please me so much.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
You can actually turn the "soft skin effect" off in the menu and if you want better pictures from the front camera make sure the "HDR" option is always enabled.

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Camera FV-5 is a better choice. It allows 100% JPG Quality, 100% Thumbnail quality AND uncompressed PNG format option for taking shots.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
I personally will not get my hopes up that Sony will do anything to the camera software to improve image quality just because 5.0 supports RAW format. Sony may not even include RAW support in their version of 5.0.

So many times, phone manufacturers pick and choose which features of android to implement or substitute that feature with their own.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
The formal answer is "no" - it will NOT fix the poor image processing. RAW format is not supported by Sony in Android 5.0

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seklerek:
That's sad, I had my hopes up that they would finally do something about it. How can a camera company make a phone camera so bad I can't understand.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android167:
You cannot. Try to turn it off, take a picture, then take a picture when it's on. There is apsolutely no difference.

camera is not terrible, doesn't need to be fixed. because iphone has better camera doesn't mean it's terrible, it's just second best after Gs5 in android (third after iphone)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Hardware is indeed great, but software is very bad, and since the combination of both make the picture, the camera needs to be fixed (software part).

I mean look at all the phones using SONY sensors, they take excellent pictures on AUTO. Z3? Nope, rarely. Manual is super, but sometimes you do not have the time to fiddle around with the settings. And no DNG RAW in 5.0.2? Well, totally wasted potential of this phone's camera.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luizlee86:
I'm very disappointed with the Z3C camera too... I mean, considering the specs, I was hoping for a lot much better pictures.

I´ve just got mine, I did a lot of research before buying a new phone (I had a Note 2), and the main reasons why I bought this phone are: size/specs, battery life and camera. I also considered buying the Moto Maxx (Brazilian Droid Turbo variant) but the Z3C compactness (is this a word?) made me chose it and I'm kind of regretting it a little bit... lol
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
Maybe I have eye defects. I have both the Z1 and the Z3 Compact with me. My Z3C takes photos that are at least 2x better than my Z1 on SuperiorAuto Mode.

UNLESS it's a regional firmware bug, like down here in India, all Xperia handsets have an audio bug where the sound is biased towards the left when using earphones/headphones, I complained to Sony a million times over, they did nothing, it's been years. I just use custom apps to play music or I root my phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seklerek:
That's what I think too. Overall the phone is very good and the hardware is solid, but the camera has been a big letdown for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
You have discovered a bug. Thanks for letting me know, "HDR" for front camera doesn't work neither does the face detection.

I will email Sony Developer World once I'm free. They fixed some Walkman bugs I reported in the past, hopefully they'll fix this one.

I can hear a similar sound on my note 4, but I wouldn't call it terrible.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
My Note 4 and my friend's Note 4 does same but, doesn't bother me at all.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.jurin:
Hi guys, thanks for replied! Note 4 belongs to my wife, she complained me about this. And in fact this hissing is recognizable from 20-30 cm in quiet room. For comparison my Note 3 has almost no sound at all even if you put your ear next to the loudspeaker. So it looks like common deffect for Note 4... this is bad because I spend so much time convincing my wife to switch from iPhone :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
Well it's not really a defect, you can hear it only when you listen to something and you put the sound to 0 or after you press on a something, but it's switching off shortly after the playback of the sound (when you click on an icon or key).

It's just the sound the speaker makes when is on, but when you turn up the volume even a little from 0 you will not hear it anymore.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.jurin:
Actually it is not a case with my wife's Note 4. When we set the sound level to 1, hissing changes the pattern, but is still there and almost the same loud :( this "imperfection" is defect for me, it is like famous hissing in the headphones, it impairs the perception of the sound content. There is no excuses to have it in the modern devices. It is minus to Galaxy Note 4. If I would review this phone I would definitely pay attention to it.

What do you think is is hardware or software issue?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
I guess it's hardware, probably the speakers they used on the Note 4 just makes that noise :) I tried 2x Note 4 and the noise is identical.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.jurin:
Well, if this is hardware problem then it is not fixable. This is bad. Nevertheless thanks for reply! Actually I have one more question, do you have this kind of hissing / white noise when you record video? Because I have, every time I film something on Note 4 even in an absolutely quite room I always have strong background hissing / white noise! Do you have it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowbooth:
I have a galaxy note 4 and listened to all my music on this phone via leads and BT. I can confirm there is now an issue with this sound which in my case has come about only recently when I upgraded to Lollipop. Until then the sound was fantastic - now it has a kind of whirring background noise which starts when any playback is started and stops a couple of seconds after stopping. This noise was definitely not apparent before. I still have my old galaxy S3 which I have compared this with - the old S3 does have a very low continual hiss but this is constant and also inaudible when playing music at any volume. The Note 4 used to be like this but is now appalling and I cannot listen to it!

OP - Can I confirm you are running Lollipop Android?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitephenix:
Dropped phone, solved problem!

Horrible hissing sound! Unbearable especially when ran through an amplified system like car audio. I have tried multiple headphones and sound systems, I even swapped the device at my carrier and sent it to Samsung TWICE! Samsung swapped components to no avail both times. Also broke and fixed my s-pen on a random side note lol.

All of that aside I fixed problem! DO NOT TRY THIS SOLUTION!!!

After simply just living with the hissing problem for a few months to the point where I just pulled an old HTC Ruby out of storage to use as my all around MP3 player I accidentally fixed the problem.

SOLUTION: I dropped my phone flat on its back from standing texting position onto a hard laminate floor that covers a concrete foundation and it works perfactly now lol! Case: UAG.

That having been said it looks like a confirmed hardware problem and does not sound like a permanent fix... :crying:

Hello, I recently bought the Note 4 snapdragon variant (910F) and the rear speaker had a terrible hissing and static pop after audio being played. I returned the phone because of it, it was unacceptable. I really liked the phone so I heard that the Exynos variant has a different sound DAC.

Can some Exynos variant owner check for me if the speaker is hissing too? Like lock your phone (it should make a lock sound) then immediately put the rear speaker right next to your ear and listen if you can hear some static noise and then "click".

Thank you!

Hi all I've owned this great phone since they first came out.

I had Vista on my machine then and I synced it up no problems.

2 Days ago I did a fresh install of Vista when it was all done my phone synced up again fine.

However yesterday I did a final fresh install just so I could get it just the way I want it without excess programs on.

However now my phone will just not connect.

I'm good with PCs however I'm stumped. It makes the ding sound when connect however WMDC does not recognise.

I have the latest WMDC x64 patch installed. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
