Let us not forget the absolute horrid shutter time on the Moto phone I had.. dear lord.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] chikess:
Hi, i also have fv5, bought it years ago for my gnote. I can take a few pictures in Auto Mode with it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Please do! - really, all we need is a typical indoor shot using auto mode of Camera FV5 vs the stock app. Please use another file hosting site (like flickr or imgur) to provide full resolution links. XDA compresses anything that gets uploaded directly to the thread.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] chikess:
I'll do it tomorow, atm its getting dark.

First is fv5, second superiror by Sony.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Thank you very much!

I looked at each photo on my 23" computer monitor, and at first glance, both photos look VERY similar. In a blind test, I probably couldn't tell you which photo was taken by the stock app. However, once zoomed to 100% crop, it became clear that Sony's noise suppression had kicked in to keep the digital noise to a minimum. So what we're left with is a slightly less grainy photo at the expense of sharpness and detail from the Sony app. Honestly, its a case of personal preference. Which photo looks better to you?

Also, I noticed a difference in color reproduction between the two shots. Can you tell us which one is more true to life?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] chikess:
Well, the Sony one has a yellow kick, but in the end it looks more true. I've looked booth pictures on a 27" in lightroom. Booth a more Bad than good, but Sony's noise compression is Not that bad. I wish to see some raws, maybe with 5.1....
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bubimir13:
Nice examples but Superior mode did a better job here, how can i tell? Well look at the paper money on table and you can see its more crisp then the FV5 one.

BTW. skoro nisam ni prepozno tih 10 kuna brate :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] chikess:
Yepp, the crop let Sony win in this Situation. The kunas are the Rest of my vacation [emoji5] but Only 14 kuna and some lipa, not even enough for a pivo [emoji16].

If fv5 could make use from the camera2api the result might looks other.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bubimir13:
Maybe not for a beer in Dubrovnik, but otherwise you had enough for a good one, not a regular pisswasser :D

I hope Sony introduces camera2 API in next months update to 5.1, it would be great
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] chikess:
Yes, a raw picture from the Sensor could Show us what could be possible.

Offtopic: dubrovnik is to far for me, istria is enough ;) and a Ožujsko was there arround 18kn
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
A RAW picture from a phone sensor would be hideous without professional enhancing, look at a low-light picture from an unlocked Z3C and you will have a slight idea...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Looks like the stock app is the best we have to work with.

How did you do this? I wanted to install Manual Camera and used their compatibility checker, just to get the result, you can see in the attached screenshot. I think this all changed, when Lollypop was being introduced, which I am using.

I really hate the situation! And if all we'd get would be RAW format, that still would give us better automatic (post-)processing options, than the one we are now limited with.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Starlith:
Check a few of my photos of this here - https://flic.kr/s/aHskaZQ1i8

. I try to use all the modes i can from the Sony camera app like background defocus, scene selections, but it can get real tricky as it's no iPhone. Just make sure you focus the camera and keep it still. I always use the hardware button to focus and shoot. Superior Auto mode is generally hit or miss depending on the environment but its nothing that snapseed can't improve on once the image has been taken

Raw mode would be no better than our current situation. Understand that when a photo is in Raw you would need some sort of software to create the photo. Its like having the film without a developed photo and what use is showing the film to your friends and family? Raw is useless unless you want to take your time to develop each photo one by one. What the camera needs is better software algorithm to drive the hardware to its potential or even a pros guide to taking photos so then people can learn and understand the limits of this phone.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] zmix:
They, indeed, are very nice! Proves once more, that the pilot drives the car and not the car the pilot. Congratulations!

Are you on Android 4.x or 5.x?

I know. But aren't there full-auto filters for (expensive) Photoshop and (free) Gimp, maybe other software, too? I mean, if you can apply such an automatic macro of filters within the camera, than the same software could be applied outside of it. Just, in this case, at least, of a higher grade? And most of these programs allow for batch-processing. And even if the majority would not want to do this, they still could use the inferior Sony stuff, while others may go the external route. I am talking about auto-filters, not manual developing.[/QUOTE]
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dark.blue:
since we talking about stock camera app.

how does the hdr setting works on stock app?

afaik, hdr is combining photos with at least 3 different exposure right? that is mean it need 3 takes.

but when i try the hdr setting, it only takes 1 photo, and maybe my eyes is not good, but i see no different between hdr n non-hdr.

when i take hdr photo with diff app [ie, snap cam], it take 3 times then combine it. and there is huge diff between hdr n non-hdr photo.

-correct me if im wrong-
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
I don't see a difference either.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] CAL7:
Ok, way OT, but... Can someone give me (us) a link to a tutorial on what hdr is and what it's good for?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
I can't tell you how many shots HDR takes, but the image does take considerably longer to process and the results are most evident when you are taking a photo of an area that has a lot of shadows contrasted by brightly lit areas. I've seen modest results when I've used it on this phone, but nothing yet that makes me take the extra time to select HDR. Usually, the auto mode pics the right exposure for these situations.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LastSilmaril:
I actually find that my OG Moto X takes better photos indoors than the Z3c, shockingly enough. At least the too-clever-by-half AE and AF on that device eventually yielded nice pics once you get used to the odd interface. But there is no trick to getting the Z3c to take decent photos indoors. What a shame.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jody2k:
Have you guys considered its possible your having bad camera sensors?

I compared my pictures from the low light galaxy S6 and my Sony Z3C.

The Z3C had really sharper pictures in low light in same conditions.

I had the same discussion in samsung galaxy S6 forum, there were alot of variations in the camera sensors in quality.

Because there was a lot of discussion we started to wonder maybe there is quality difference in same camera sensors, and guess what yes there was :).

Just giving my 2 cents guys
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
It's always possible that some people have a bad sensor, but I don't see that as being the case here. The smaller pixels creamed into our sensor, plus the poor image processing is what causes our less than impressive results. As I said in the original post, the camera isn't living up to the expectations of 2014/2015 technology. Though, simply using a different camera app appears to make things worse, not better as others have claimed.

I recently acquired an htc one m7. i decided it would be cool to root it and put a custom rom ( i have had experience in this i have done it on my s3 my galaxy tab 2.0 and a galaxy express) so i unlocked my bootloader, flashed a custom rom and rooted my device and i decided (stupidly) to erase everything from the device (System, data, internal storage, cache, and dalvik cache) but then i realized i didnt have the file on my phone and couldnt do anything with it so i started researching. i tried to gain s-off but with every solution i need to be booted up but i dont have an os so i cannot. i tried adb sideloading the file and it just errors. i tried pushing the file and flashing it and it errors. i tried fastboot flashing it but it wont verify it. i read on a forum on this site that said to flash roms with s-on you need to flash the boot image after. i tried this and it didnt work either. i also tried flashing the factory RUU with hasoon2000's all-in-one toolkit. this did not work. ive tried different recovery (but not different versions of these recoveries) everytime i try flashing a rom it errors and says it couldnt detect filesystem for /dev/block/plat then it cuts off and after it says mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msn_ then it cuts off then it continues unmount of /system failed: no such volume (even tho in my file directory there defiantly is one) then it says patching system image unconditionally..... failed to open /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/b E: error executing epdater binary in zip ' /sdcard then cuts off. i have no idea how to fix this sorry for such a long post please help me.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
I have my SGN4F for a few days now and normally it runs just fine, but when it comes to gaming... it just sucks! I wonder what is the cause of this. According to AnTuTu it seems like overheating and throttling issue, as after the test run statistics shown that my performance gradually lower and stopped at around 60% of its maximum. Asphalt 8 for example runs fine, just a small stutter at the beginning of every map (mostly visible when the map name appears and flows around the screen), but for example Dungeon Hunter 5 is most time almost unplayable - tried playing the same mission more times and sometimes it is OK and sometimes i can't even do a combo, as it lags so hard, that the game cannot detect it. Similar story with Modern Combat 5, which seems to be unresponsive, but when i look to a corner of the map, where just few things with no detail is placed, it runs buttery smooth.

May i ask you for your gaming/3D experience? Is the problem caused by throttling? I have read a few articles here about it and i know that Snapdragon seems to be having problems with it but there is a lot of people reporting great performance with no lag at all. So i would like to find a final answer. So my questions are (the more of you answer them the better ;) )

1. Is this phone powerful enough to run these games (Modern Combat 5, Asphalt 8, Dungeon Hunter 5) with decent FPS (ideally caped at 60fps)?

2. Does your phone overheat? Please specify which HW version you have.

3. Did you resolve this problem?

...... 3a. Did you disable overheat protection?

...... 3b. What temps you get afterwards?

...... 3c. What is max. safe temperature of SD version?

4. (optional) What SoT time you get on average?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
So today I tested my device with with 3D Mark... the test alone was not enough to stress the cpu so the results were mostly average and started to be a bit worse with every next test in a row as the device heated up a bit more every time

So I tried two different approaches:

1. Put the phone on laptop cooling pad to see the result and it was insanely high it has beaten every other SD805 smartphone in the test and scored the same result as HTC M9 with SD810 and Adreno 430

View attachment 3302423

2. Played Dungeon Hunter 5 until it started heating up and throttling the cpu and then run the test again - the score was.. very bad

View attachment 3302424

My conclusion is that it really is caused by CPU throttling... the only question here is how to overcome this issue as i am not willing to lower the resolution or throttle the CPU manually to get fluid but lower FPS
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemonum1980:
I'm having the same, when gaming for like 5/10 mins it throttles down and framerate drops.

Hardware limitations, if the note 4 was as easy to open up as the note 3 i would made cooling adjustments, like some customised shielded copper plate that would cover a bigger part.

EDIT: h t t p s ://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/yq5FhOMO1vqOCdpw.huge

As you can see in this link the CPU and such are covered with shields before they hit the heat dispensing plackers. lots of loss in heat distribution.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
Sad to hear this, i have real luck on things which have problems with overheating but if your SGN 4 is rooted some users reported that they were able to play after disabling the overheat protection and their temps settled around 70°C so you could try that :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamali.z:
Hi everyone , so i own a galaxy tab s 8.4 lte (t 705 ) and yesterday i installed lollipop rom on it the hong kong version , everything is fine and smooth but then the old issue that i use to have on kitkat which was super rate tho is still here and that's with back light buttons staying on even when i have them off on the menu :S not that they don't go off but its like they are set on 30 sec or so time >< and only way to fix it is to go back in menu and put the timer from off to some other options and then go back to off , i want to know if anyone else has experienced this issue and if its software or hardware issue and is there anyway i can fix it myself ? any information is appreciated thanks !
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inmi08:
Have the same problem after 5.0.2 update on my t700. I've tried several rom versions, made full wipes before and after flashing the roms but no luck. The device is stock with no root.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTAMAS:
It's a problem which started bugging my Note 3 too after the Lollipop upgrade so that very much confirms that it's a software issue..

Switch to Always Off in settings and then tap on OK

After this, choose your old setting like 1.5 seconds and then tap OK again.. :highfive:

Skip typing - hit instead.. ;)

I had to use a factory reset to decrypt my phone. TWRP was asking a password (a known bug, nothing works) and I did a factory reset using TWRP. Now I get the message "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?".

What is the easiest way to install OS? I want to use CyanogenMod and I have the latest build zip file. M7 doesn't support SD cards but I have OTG USB stick and I've copied cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m7.zip there. I don't know if TWRP can recognize the drive. Windows doesn't currently recognize my device.

I don't have a recovery backup because decrypting my memory (stock encryption) apparently wiped that out.

Please help me, I have to get my phone up and running again! :cool:

you doing it right just copy the zip to the OTG and plug it into your phone and install it
