[X 2014 Themes and Apps] Jack Sparrow xda:
This is internal thing. If manufacturer has locked or didn't provide some features then they won't work in the camera apps, doesn't matter if other camera apps show controls in front end.

Now since Motorola has provided this missing feature, it will work in other apps also.

There are many camera apps which show enormous manual controls like manual ISO, shutter speed etc but none works in MotoX because they are not supported in back end.

Hope Motorola provides all manual controls supported in camera2 API, that will open many more possibilities.
[X 2014 Themes and Apps] jonnythan:
The Google camera app has supported manual exposure for months. You had to enable it in advanced controls. The Moto Camera makes it far more convenient, though.

Comparison between different camera apps

(I think apk can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-motorola-camera-5-0-7-1-material-t3007246)

I did a quick comparison between three different apps.

Here is the full shot with marking of the cropped area. It was taken at 9.30am during a hazy day when only available light was coming from a window covered with white vertical blinds.

Stock camera

Clicked with HDR mode turned off and manual focus turned on. Notice the stickers, they have fine details which are washed out in the course of reducing noise:

A Better Camera

Shooting in normal mode doesn't make any difference. But there is 'Night Mode' in this app which also requires stable hands for few seconds before it clicks the shot. I clicked the same shot using the night mode. I feel its kind of HDR mode where it merges few shots taken in the background, though not exactly sure.

Here noise processing seems much better but slightly over sharpening can also be noticed around edges. We get much more details around focused area but still the washed down effect can be noticed at out of focus areas:

Camera+ (Modified version of stock camera)

There are options to toggle two types of noise processing and I turned off both of them. I also set the JPG compression mode to 100% so I loose slightly lesser data during JPG compression. But images comes out are double in the data size. One image clicked by stock app is around 4 MB but this app saves a file at around 8MB.

There is no noise processing thus we get as much as possible details but this comes at the cost of huge raw grains:

Conclusion : Which one is better app for MotoX?

Answer : No idea, I have always been confused. Stock app is still better suited due to quick accessibility and convenient controls. A better camera can bring out better pics straight out of the phone but its useful only in the situation when subject is stable and you have time to spend on the shot. If you use photo editing softwares on your computers then Camera+ will give you as much as possible data to post process, that ugly looking grain can be easily taken care in the editing software, that too in much better way than the dumb brain of stock camera app.

I have plenty of camera apps in the phone and use different apps in different situations. Though now a days I mostly use stock app due to better compatibility and convenient controls.

For whatever reason the Play Store wasn't updating my phone. I removed the updates I had installed and then went into the play store and updated the app to the newest version. If you have problems give that a try.
[X 2014 Themes and Apps] kernelmoron:
Don't know how many of you used it but, with the latest update, HDR lost tap to focus. Not no mention that the addition of exposure control is very finicky and sometimes doesn't do anything. Just a heads-up for those who haven't updated yet.

Couple of days back updated the phone to 5.1 and updated all the apps also. Now the camera has become terrible. The images coming out are having very heavy and unbearable water painting kind of effect. :eek:

Why Motorola why? :mad:

Previous update with exposure control brought some hope that Motorola caught up right path in improving camera but this new revision is much more terrible and hopeless. :crying:

[HTC One E8] jdwis:
I got HTC One E8 (M8Sx) model. Having gone through searching some sensors on my phone I found that I do have Magnetic Sensor (Pics attached). I used 2 apps to check this - Quick System Info and Sensor Box for Android.

Trying to see how it works, found it just doesn't work.

Has anyone tried it, or if there is any problem with this phone or it is not really there in this model but would just show in the list - that should not happen as one of the pic shows "X" mark on Temp Sensor which is obviously not there.

Any ideas?
[HTC One E8] hossamov:
i have the same model M8Sx and it has a magnetic sensor. you can check with test menu *#*#3424#*#* in the dialer, you will see a line for magnetic sensor test. I tested it with google cardboard where a magnet is used as a switch to do in app actions and it works.
[HTC One E8] jdwis:
I checked that *#*#3424#*#* and the ver of this DIAG test is v44.60.15g but I do not have the line to test magnetic sensor?

will put the pic tomorrow morning, no cable to transfer pic.
[HTC One E8] alanjolly123:
Well the dot view cover automatically locks and unlocks the phone using the magnetic sensor..... So I guess all of us have been using it... :D :p:p
[HTC One E8] jdwis:
About the inbuilt diag - *#*#3424#*#* pic is attached. There is no option for Magnetic Sensor.

I do not have dot view cover.
[HTC One E8] alanjolly123:
You see the hall sensor,right?

That's the one.. Hall sensor is also commonly called as the magnetic sensor..

And the dot view uses this sensor to lock and unlock the screen when we open the cover..

HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!!

Sent from AJ's HTC one
[HTC One E8] jdwis:
Ok guys let me clear some confusions here.

Everyone who is referring to the sensor "Hall Sensor" is not a MAGNETIC SENSOR.

Hall Sensor is the one used to check if the cover (DOT Cover) is pulled or closed, if closed it would shut the display, if pulled (Opened) then switch ON the display, this is done by little switch inside the phone which is pulled by outside magnetic force.

Magnetic Sensor - THe device would show megnetic field strength as per the density of the metal behind the phone case. I have Samsung, Sony and old HTC as well these all show proper working of this action

I have attached a pic taken from Samsung Galaxy, running the same app as mentioned above "Sensor Box for Android" and as we can see from the pic it shows the density level of metal we check for test.

I am referring to this Magnetic Sensor and not the closing opening of cover sensor.

Does any one know of this? Has anyone tried installing the above app and tried testing on E8 ???

Any help would be good before I try Factory Reset the phone, which I do hesitate a lot and dont want to go thru that hassel installing everything again...
[HTC One E8] alanjolly123:
Yeah.. I think you should do a factory reset cos with sensor box mine shows magnetic field variations...

Sent from AJ's HTC one
[HTC One E8] jdwis:
Hi, thanks for that.

Can I please ask you to check one more thing for me, if you could please check "Orientation Sensor" in the same "Sensor Box" if thats working as well? As that does not work in mine..

Your effort is really helpful.
[HTC One E8] alanjolly123:
Yeah... That one works fine too..

Btw the temperature sensor is marked as not supported in sensor box but antutu shows the temperature of the phone...

So there is one right?

Sent from AJ's HTC one
[HTC One E8] jdwis:
Hi

I checked Antutu and in Sensors it says "Temperature" - Not Supported (Means that sensor is not present)

Showing temp of phone is diff, that depends on the Core Chip (main CPU) Temp, which it has a function to measure its own temp.

About magnetic sensor, now I m quite sceptic of reseting the whol;e phone, need to find out which app does this, otherwise its no use of reseting and it might come back..

Hi,

late to the party i know, but i am just starting with tasker.

anyone here with a dual sim phone using tasker?

normal timer and alarm stuff is working fine as well as integration with zooper widget

i am trying to set up a location dependant set of tasks using 'cell near' but nothing was happening.

after many trys and settings and (of course) googling, i realised that my main sim was in slot 2 and slot 1 was switched off (it mostly is as its foreign).

when i turned on sim1 it all started to happen and the cell towers were found instantly.

are there any special functions/apps that can control the use of sim slots for various tasks and settings?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] NYCblues:
I am S-On, AT&T 1.58 stock rooted (from Miller_kid's upload deodexed dated 5/15/2014). It took me close to 3 weeks just to get the SIM to recognize (eye-rolling expected here).

I guess my primary question is: can I install a Tmobile 5.02 mod (of course after doing a backup and wipe).

My secondary question is: does the bootloader need to be relocked for normal operation?

Sorry to sound so clueless, but I'm horrified at the prospect of the phone giving me that HTC ONE white screen blank stare and not doing anything else! All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] NYCblues:
its such a lovely feeling to realize that you're not quite as clueless as you once thought you were.

I figured "what the hell ... the phone's been a brick for three weeks ... why should i give a **** what else i do to it now anyway?" And went to town with InsertCoin's incredibly reliable and stable mods ... Wow you guys are terrific and extremely responsive. $$$$ coming ur way!

so F - U At&T .... (and actually TMob can suck my ballz too, but what the hell ... they are carrying me at the mo, so ... )

It amazes me that after 15 years AT&T doesn't even bother to ask why I might be just cancelling my 2 line account ... maybe they actually realize they've been violating me without my permission every month for that long. I suggest that everyone tired of the rates they're being charged -- when u get ready to drop the carrier, go in person. That way you can at least have some fun and tell them that now that there is a person shaking your hand representing the company, you could (if you really wanted to be nasty) call the police and say you had been raped. there was physical contact, afterall.

Oh my what fun that could start!! The looks on faces would be utterly priceless. (see what kind of lunacy all this phone tension creates? madness. geez)

If it happens after only about five minutes, then I believe you have a hardware issue. Either the SIM card tray or motherboard has gone south and needs to be replaced. You can try reinstalling the modem, but I don't think it will help in this instance, and thus the device will need to be serviced.

Hi - I used to be able to rotate my lockscreen but I don't seem to be able to find an option to do this anywhere... I use Chroma ROM with Nova Prime. I'm sure it used to be a setting in Nova, or that the rotate setting was universal where now it isn't....

I have searched but no joy.

Just in case you haven't. Reboot is required and also check permissions of build prop after edit. Rotation as I recall only works in one direction check all rotation angles. This is all I can think of other than decompiling framework apks and that's a whole other can of worms. Can only say to let google do the searching for lock screen rotation. Many many options will be there.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shieldee:
After trying to install few custom ROMS namely DR. Ketans and SimplRom I experience SIM removed error problem.

The flashing goes fine with full factory reset (only internal SD is not wiped), I enter the PIN when I'm asked for it. The SIM is unlock but when the phone registers on the network it gives SIM removed error and forces a reboot.

I also upgraded the bootloader and the modem to the latest versions BL_N910FXXU1BOD2 and CP_N910FXXU1BOC4 but the problem remains the same.

When I restore back to the original ROM (backed up by TWRP) everything works fine. If dirty flash custom ROM over it again there are no problems with the SIM card.

The only conclusion is that T-Mobile has some additional software installed.

The phone is SM-N910F bought from T-Mobile. It has T-Mobile branding on boot and shutdown.

Does anyone now anything about this ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shieldee:
To update it with my own research.

Apparently the SIM card is lock to Macedonia region. MBM CSC. When installing custom ROM the CSC gets changed and the phone rejects the SIM.

In an effort to resolve this I've flashed DE DBT CSC ROM and the phone won't accept my SIM card.

Currently I'm downloading the original T-Mobile MKD firmware and I hope by restoring it that I will be able to use the phone again.

Also since I paid for the phone in full I intend to contact T-Mobile tomorrow and ask them to unlock my phone.

Will write what comes out of this. Don't want someone else to lose their nerves as I did today :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shieldee:
Definitely the issue was in wrong CSC. I've downloaded the original firmware and everything worked again.

But I couldn't stay put and wanted to flash a custom ROM so I went with http://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881.

It's a great base ROM stripped of Knox and de-bloated. Most importantly it keeps your current CSC intact.

The procedure was:

Flash original firmware with Odin,

Root with CF-Auto root

Flash TWRP recovery with Odin

Reset data so that it completely goes stock because flashing the original firmware doesn't reset data

At this point I made full nandroid backup

Flash ALEXAND ROM

Uninstall additional bloatware

So far it's working fine.

I hope that this will help someone.
