Camera test should be done with stock cam on stock rom. Third party apps or roms are not optimized for the device and missing proprietary drivers. Your "test" is completely worthless. G2 cam makes better photos than S3, tried both. Check the lense for scratches. They can cause blur.

Thanks for your reply. Pardon me for not being aware of the proper etiquette regarding cell phone picture comparisons...

Turns out there was a super-thin protector over the camera that I'd completely forgotten to take off. Pictures are MUCH better now that that's off. Silly me...

Hi, I'm a new proud owner of an HTC Hermes (XDA Trion to be exact), I have been using a Wizard for the past year and been reading around the Wizard forum the past year as well. Basically I pretty much know the ins and outs of the Wizard (flashing,ROM cooking,modifying,tweaks,changing pagepool, etc) but I'm a newbie with the Hermes. I've done my reading and gone through mrvanx's upgrade guides so I'm pretty confident to flash my device to any of the OS out there

My question with regards to flashing is: do you need to flash to the official ROM prior to flashing a cooked rom with the hermes? With the Wizard, although not directly instructed, it is highly recommended that you do so in order to have a good base (good IPL/SPL, uncorrupted extended rom,etc). Is this also the case for the Hermes? It is not mentioned in any of the upgrading guides out there for the hermes (but it was also not directly mentioned in most of the upgrading guides over at the wizard forum, just chefs and user suggestion actually but it became a norm).

Any help would be greatly appreciated...can't wait to get my hands dirty with the hermes like i did with the wizard! thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] walshieau:
before you flash anything... flash HardSPL....

Once you have flashed it... you can do almost anything to your PDA and still be able to flash back to your Original ROM...

Same title, i wanna mod file framework-res.apk so resize navigation bar. My device was dead line touch panel.

tks all
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greg17477:
The following method works for L 5.1. For 5.0.1 there is another way.

This will change the Navbar height:

1. decompile frameworks-res.apk

2. open framework-res/res/values/dimens.xml and look for the following variables and change to desired value:

navigation_bar_height

navigation_bar_height_landscape

navigation_bar_width

3. re-compile frameworks-res.apk

If you want to resize the icons too, then:

1. decompile SystemUI.apk

2. navigate to SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi/ and look for files starting with "ic_sysbar_" and resize them to your desired dimensions.

3. re-compile SystemUI.apk

I'm really confused at the moment because there is no news of new phone releases from Sony .

I dont know how prices will drop . But , I've been waiting from Jan for sony to release some phones so that i can buy z3 .

Already been 5 months and no sign . Getting frustrated a little .

I like Z3 compact as i dont want bigger phone .

The price here in India is around Rupees 34.5k .

Also , I'm using the classic Nokia N70 from past couple days as my Xperia Sola DIED !

Guys , tell me what to do . I can't wait for more than another couple of months (at max 1-2) .
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
I'm thinking of buying this phone in 2 days and the prices are really great here in the UK . I can't see the prices dropping much more before the end of this year although I can't say much about Indian prices.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
As you said, there is not even a rumor about a new compact being released anytime soon. The last compact was released in the last quarter of 2014, so I would not expect another to be announced before Q4 of 2015. So, basically a year interval for compacts is the best we should hope for. And from what rumors there have been about its specs, I don't see a reason to pay a premium for it over the Z3C.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scitech09:
I agree. Maybe in 5-6 months there will be a new compact. Likely just an incremental upgrade. So I would just get it now.

Erm ... not really.

Can anyone give some advice about a belt case/holster?

I'm thinking on the lines of this type http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OHFTPXM/ a horizontal case.

But, this don't usually last that long.

So, I was thinking about http://www.amazon.co.uk/Urvoix-Case-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00S6DQ37W/ a vertical canvas style.

But, I'm unsure using it with a belt and in vertical orientation would it just get in the way, sitting down, driving etc?

I'll probably be buying a case for the phone too.

Any advice please.

Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I used to use belt holsters and cases but problem is this phone is so big the cases look like fanny packs Lol.

With that out of the way, I think the horizontal holders are better for when you sit down.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kinsman-UK:
I'm using a Seidio CAPSA exoskeleton holster in horizontal orientation, with a UAG case. They fit perfectly together. If you search the forums someone on here has posted photos of this combination. If you rotate it to vertical it does get in the way a little when sitting down, so I use it horizontal.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mty msi:
I use an Otterbox Defender w/holster & don't have any issues sitting down w/ the phone in the landscape/horizon mode. I do take the phone off my belt in the car to use my Craig's Docks car dock/mount. I think your physique has a lot to do with the comfort of the phone when seated. I also have a horizontal nylon belt pouch I got from Amazon that fits the phone with the Defender case but I've never used it because I've had no problems with the Defender's holster. The nylon pouch would be very useful if you're in a warm climate & it's raining & you're outside a lot.

One thing I really like about the Defender holster is it allows the phone to be placed in the screen out position so I can see/use the screen when it's clipped on my belt (it's of course less protection than screen in but for me the functionality outweighs that). I do agree that the size of the N4 looks like you've got a tablet on your belt, it does look ridiculous but it is what it is.

The Defender is a high quality precision made case IMO and if you buy one online make sure you buy it either directly from Otterbox or directly from Amazon (not a third party reseller) as counterfeiting is rampant with them. Also you have to remove the included plastic screen protector & use something else for clarity & to prevent the constant dirt that accumulates through the opening for the home key w/ the installed screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] burntrat:
I haven't used the exact same one that you listed, but I used a very similar design holster for my gs1 and that fake pleather material wore out pretty quick by the belt area. I can't believe I paid $15 for that. If you want to go vertical, I personally recommend it on the side. Would interfere if worn near the front. Out of those 2, I would say the nylon holster would last longer because of the 1000d cordura nylon, but I can't speak for the overall quality. The stitching might be shoddy and stuff could fall apart easily.

I used the supcase beetle case with holster, but the case and holster broke. The case could not take a huge impact. I wore the holster on my side horizontally and broke the belt clip getting out of the car. I am currently using a cheap otterbox defender type case with holster.

iv been using the seido surface for about 6-7 months now and its still working great, spring on the holster still seems as strong as brand new, and its pretty slim compared to the other case+holster combos. it provides plenty of protection, iv dropped my phone at least 10 times since november, each time onto hard surface floors from about waist high (im 5 foot 11), and each time i remove the case to see what damage i caused and surprised to see that my phone itself still it perfect cosmetic condition. no scratches or scuffs anywhere on the edges or corners. phone sits pretty snug into the clip, it has NEVER came off on its own. if something were to go wrong with this case ill definitely buy another one.

Read my thread about Seidio & buying form their online store.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/accessories/dont-want-to-buy-seidios-webstore-t3036913

I have to initiate a chargeback w/ the bank that issued the credit card I used to get a refund. Seidio refunded zero.

Seido's online store is a joke if you have a problem w/ one of their products. By far the worst experience I've ever had purchasing online.

The Surface is a decent case but completely overpriced. Only reason I got one was to turn into the Surface w/ holster which was complete garbage, both the case & the holster. Everytime I moved the phone fell off the beltclip, is was unusable. And yes, I did have the case locked to the beltclip.

For the price Seidio charges for the Surface it should have rocker switch covers at a bare minimum. You can spend a fraction of the cost of a Surface & get a far nicer case.

Best Buy sells the Surface as their Platinum series at half the price Seidio charges.

IMO Seidio = garbage.

Maxpedition

Ever since I starting using tactical pouches with my iPhone 5s, I have continued to do so with my Note 4. I use Maxpedition pouches, as they are made of 1050d ballistic nylon. They are quite excellent.|

When I'm at work, during my food vendering stuff, I use their TC-3 pouch. However, I rock their leg pouch for any other events. Since I run around with no case on my phone except for the leg pouch and the small pouch that my phone and cards slip in, I am quite pleased with the setup. Excellent durability and I can carry my expensive IEMs, wallet, phone, and a couple extras with no problem.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinabey:
Hello,

A couple of years ago, I dropped my samsung i9100 and instantly its imei disappeared. Since this was caused by a physical damage, none of the software based imei recovery tactics worked. I did not get it repaired because by the time this happened, a refurbished phone was already getting cheaper than a repair. Now, there is this useless piece of electronics that is only good for taking occasional pics at home and listening to music.

I know my way around with replacing components on several phones (iphones, especially i9100 after countless trials and such) and I can replace the logic board. There seems to be legitimate, cheap i9100 logic boards with components on aliexpress.com. But the thing is, once I replace the board, for all intents and purposes it'll be another device, using the old working components and the shell of my actual phone. with a different IMEI.

So, hypothetically speaking, if I buy a board, replace the broken one with it and somehow flash my old IMEI to it, would it be usable once again? I mean from the side of the carrier network. In addition to the technical feasibility, is this a legitimate solution?

I know phone repair by experience only, so I might be way off. Correct me if i'm wrong please.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbe:
Recovering a lost IMEI isn't easy. There are guides to recover it but they may not necessarily work as expected or at all.

As about the hardware replacement - carriers can't know your hardware, they do know the model but there is no real way for them to get data about the hardware. I am not sure about the the recovered IMEI (if you manage to recover it), but I don't think so.

Hope that helped and I hope my information is correct, as that's what I know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinabey:
thanks for the reply, you are right, recovery methods did not work at all. that's why i'm considering a logic board replacement.

the pieces of information I have are:

- phones are registered as their imei and the carrier knows the phone as their imei. so imei = phone (for the carrier)

- imei change (not recovery) is possible, if not easy

- i know my imei (it's written under the battery housing anyway)

so from what you say, i understand that if i can manage to get my old imei on the new logic board successfully, all it's fine and the phone will resurrect; assuming the new logic board is working well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbe:
Just searched about an imei change and found a guide, seems actually easy, not sure if it works. (http://www.technostall.com/how-to-change-imei-number-android/)
