In order to take an OFFICIAL OTA you must have an unmodified system, original unmodded kernel, original recovery and not be rooted, no xposed or any other changes.... aka PURE stock unrooted. If your update isnt taking chances are you have made changes to one of the above. Google how to go back to pure stock

Hi All,

Can someone please tell me how to edit the registry to change the default Audio player from Windows Media Player to HTC Audio Manager.

More specifically...

I'm using

LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.1.1 (2007-05-27)

with

Cyberon Voice Commander 2.0

When I use commands like "play music" or "next" I would like the program to use Audio Manager (or any other player that not Windows Media Player).

Also,

With Voice Commander, does the program have to be active to use the voice commands or there a way to use voice commands while voice commander is running in the background?
[P3600 ROM Development] neomagik:
Use Resco Explorer. Tap and hold the media file in question, from the menu that appears tap 'open' then 'open with...' you will get a list of programs or the option to browse for a program. Select Audio Manager (if it's in the list or browse to it if its not. Check the 'Always use this program to open this file type' box and click done. Voila

Strange Problem with HTC TP2

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 from US Cellular - stock rom - I have only modified a few little things...

Anyway, I recently used File Explorer to change my default media player for MP3 files back to Windows Media Player - and now my phone won't play MP3 ringtones or alets! WAV files still work, but if I select an MP3 as my ringtone, it won't let me play it - and when I close the screen, it reverts back to a default windows ring tone...

This is driving me nuts - and I would prefer not to do a hard reset if at all possible! Please help!
[P3600 ROM Development] llamatronics:
Never mind - I found the issue - in my registry under MP3 file info - it said "MP3-File" - then I compared to WAV - which said only "WAVFile" - so I changed "MP3-File" to "MP3file" - and walla! Fixed :)

[General Questions and Answers] fastwing76:
hey guys.

so I own an HTC one M7, and two days ago we went on a shopping spree with the family, since my sister dropped her s4 after 3 years of service, naturally she wanted to get the s6 but we couldn't afford it. long story short she ended up getting the lenovo s90 ( the iphone 6 look alike) and my mom decided to get a new phone as well so she grabbed the last piece available of the lenovo P70. basically it's a habit of my mom to just buy gadgets and she never uses them. she wants to keep up with the tech but she doesn't even know how to send an E-mail.

anyway naturally being the tech guy of the house I took the phones checked their benchs, anututu, geekbench etc and I was so surpised when I found out that the P70 out performs my trustworthy HTC one by double in processing power!!.

the number one feature I like about the P70 is the 4000Mh battery, this thing is a beast lasting two days of full use no problem.

I have been using it for quite sometimes now and I'm falling in love with it, I can say that the experience is even smoother than the htc one.

and I forgot to mention that my HTC one developed the purple tint in the rear camera so it's rear camera is unusable.

what I don't like about the p70 is the fact that the screen is not scratch resistant and that it's plastic.

but on the plus size it comes with a cover and a screen protector in the box.

should I exchange it for the HTC One, there is a small chance the HTC One rear cam can be fixed for free since it has been a while out of warranty.

the geekbench 3 score for the p70 (MediaTek MT6752) is 819 single core and 4051 multi-core.

the geekbench 3 score for the HTC one M7 ( Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T) is 657 single core and 2100 multi-core.

I'm downloading 3dmark icestorm to test both in gpu power.

so what you guys think, I think lenovo is seriously stepping their game up in the past 2 years. with competitive prices.

here are few pics.

[General Questions and Answers] fastwing76:
also from testing and reading I can see that lenovo cameria are of lesser quality than those of the HTC One even though they have more pixels. and the sound chip in the HTC one is far superior.

it's understandable that lenovo would make some compromises to meet this price.

also I just tested both devices in 3dmark and found out that.

HTC one ( adreno 320) scored 1100 but 3dmark warned me not to take this test seriously since the manufacturer does not meet futuremark standards.

lenovo P70 ( ARM Mali-T760 MP2) scored 10730 which is pretty close if one would take HTC score for real.

tutorial on how to recover from a boot loop with odin?

i rooted and flashed a new rom with flashfire i am in a boot loop none of the things i found to work besides maybe odin

but i can not find a proper tutorial for this phone.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
So I ran some tests - by comparing the Idol3 camera with my 4 year old Panasonic ZS7 P&S camera . What I have noticed that at low ISO - keeping both cameras stationary - the results are pretty close. For indoor pictures, what I have noticed is that the Idol3 flash does not come on easily. But this appears to be a general smartphone thing, because my Galaxy Exhibit camera is doing the same thing. Instead of turning the flash on , the Idol3 is bumping up the ISO to over 2000 ! This results in very grainy pictures.

So one way to ensure better pictures *could* be to follow this rule -- Outdoor - set ISO=100 always . Indoors - set ISO=200 , and set flash to forced.

Also - I noticed that the front camera can go to down to ISO 50 - whereas the back camera only goes down to ISO-100 .

I will do some more tests in the coming weekend. Does anyone know of a camera app that will tell me the shutter speed the camera is going to use *before* taking the picture? That way I can decide whether I need to bump up the ISO to speed up the shutter.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Some samples

Here are some sample pictures - in outdoor sunlit conditions --> https://goo.gl/photos/ckxAPRmKo3PWJTat8

I would like to hear what y'all think.

I have a slight amendment to my earlier suggestion. I noticed that for indoor shots, if I cap ISO to 200, it is slowing down the shutter leading to a shaky, and therefore, blurred picture. A grainy picture is still better than a blurred picture. So I think a better approach would be to force the flash, and then set the shutter to 1/30, and allow it to bump the ISO if it has to. The stock camera app has a manual mode where it allows setting shutter speed.

For outdoor pictures I am using 'A Better Camera' - free version. It allows me to set and save the ISO setting to ISO-100. Also it allows me to pick the auto-focus mode to AF-Lock. I think a lot of blurred pictures are because of focus issues. AF-lock allows you to focus on a specific object, and then lock it so that the phone is not constantly re-focusing. Another trick that can be considered is to use a 2-second timer, to prevent shake due to touching the screen for taking the picture. .

I will try some indoor shots next, as well as the RAW mode and then post when I have them.

i tried the oppo colorOS camera idk if its a placebo effect but i kinda notices good pictures sadly i cant take 50mp pictures like that phone yet has 13mp camera too using that same sensor it just stitches the best pics zoomed in into one making an illusion of 50mp
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Borghi:
I think the photos look great. Nice dynamic range and colors.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] vk135:
Have you tried using the manual mode of the stock camera to change the settings?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Yes . The problem with the stock camera app is that it always starts in the auto-mode. It would be nice if it remembered the prior setting, but does not. For someone like me that likes a lot of manual controls ( shutter , aperture, ISO etc. etc. ) , this is a big pain if I have to switch to manual mode every time I take a picture. When in manual mode, it does not save any prior settings. So not only do I have to switch to manual mode, I then have to open another dialog and set the ISO to my liking. That in my opinion is way too cumbersome. In this respect, 'A Better Camera' is slightly better. It allows me to specify which settings it should remember between launches. So I can ask it to always remember the ISO and auto-focus modes. It does appear to have a bug , in that it does not display the modes correctly. So on start-up, it is telling me that it is on ISO-Auto - when I set it to ISO-100 - and when I actually take the picture, I do see that the ISO-100 was picked. Another problem with that app is that it does not allow setting of shutter speed, which the stock camera app does.

So I really haven't found any one camera app that does everything I want . But in doing this research , I am realizing how big of a pain using a smartphone as a camera can be. I really wish Alcatel had a model with no front and back camera and for $50 less ! That would be the perfect device for me :)

RAW capture

I managed to try out the RAW capture functionality of the camera.

Here is the unprocessed TIFF file, created from a .DNG using dcraw >> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B960wOI9V0CfWGpmRUxicVpLZDg/view?usp=sharing

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] buhloon:
Took this shot of the moon using the default camera in manual mode. iso 100, 1/1000. Strangely the exif says the aperture is 2.5 not 2.0 like the specs say.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Shodan5150:
Using the camera is probably the last thing I use my phone for. I would think that someone would have created a camera app where you can change all the settings you want and save that profile then make as many profiles as you want for various situations.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
I do not use my phone as a camera either . Actually I am surprised ( at myself ) why I spent so much time testing it out ! Anyway, I found an app called 'Open Camera' - which seems to have almost all the features I was looking for. It allows me to set ISO and AF-lock - and actually saves those settings between launches. It also has a mode where if it is running and you lock the phone, hitting the power button again brings the camera right back . I find that useful because now I can lock the screen between shots - and still get the camera back relatively quickly. Without that I had to leave the screen on, and I was getting a lot of accidental shots. The UI isn't that great looking, but it is functional.

Here is the link >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
Pretty sure Camera Zoom FX does what you are talking about. I made it the default camera app. It was free on amazon however at some point or another I purchased it on google play for $0.10. A special promo where a bunch of apps were $0.10 each I think. Anyway might want to check it or camera360 out....opencamera is a nice free open source one (If I remember right).

My primary usage for the camera on my phones is to run the paperkarma app so I can submit junkmail to have my name/address removed from their mailing lists. Has helped to thin the junkmail down over time.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maddog497:
I haven't used the camera too much but I am not disappointed in it so far. For the price, I can't complain. It seems to take the pics fairly quickly which is a good thing.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gecko702:
open camera is also good ive tried it and no problems for me
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] ItsDon:
Has anyone found ANY camera app that allows you to save the pics to the SD card? I've tried a bunch yet they all complain that KK(!) doesn't allow saving to SD card YET the stock camera app does allow it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
In my case - both 'A Better Camera' and 'Open Camera' were unable to save to the external micro SD. It does not bother me, because it is probably better for the camera to write directly to internal storage , in the interest of speed. I can always move those files using ES File Explorer - or by plugging the phone in.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
ISO_HJR

I think I found another trick that can help the picture quality with the Camera. The 'Open Camera' app supports an ISO setting called 'ISO_HJR' - HJR stands for Hand Jitter Reduction, and it is Google's way of bumping up the ISO while keeping the shutter fast, to prevent blur due to shake. I used that to take some picture under overcast conditions today, and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The exif on the pictures say that the ISO is bumped upwards of 400 - but the picture does not appear to be too grainy . I am not sure what exactly is going on , but this seems like a good option to use.

Also 'Open Camera' allows me to save with a JPEG compression of 100% - This results in 8MB+ files for each picture .
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Borghi:
I just tried a couple quick shots using this HJR setting with HDR. Really nice results here too!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] buhloon:
Also is the camera really f2.0 my exit on my photos shows 2.5
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Same here. I do not think they ever mentioned anything about the aperture of the lens. They only advertised the sensor, and some reviewers simply assumed that it was a f2.0 lens. This might explain the poor low light performance. Anyway, I emailed them asking about this. Let us see if they respond.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Alcatel support has responded back to me confirming that the camera lens is indeed f2.0 . They did not address my point about the EXIF not showing it as 2.0 . So now I will need to research what the possible explanation could be.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gecko702:
hmm figures so i have open camera what are the best settings for indoor and outdoor? i have HJR on but whats AR?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Maybe 'AR' is 'Augmented Reality' ! I do not really know. I usually do not use scene modes, but I might try HDR to see how it looks. Otherwise I am going to back and forth with ISO-100 and ISO_HJR - and of course use focus-lock all the time. In general my experience has been that the phone takes okay pictures, and if you view them on the phone or cast them to your TV, then you will not be able to make out any difference. Only when you blow them up at 100% on your laptop, and then compare with another camera , do the imperfections become evident.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gecko702:
yeah thats what ive been doing lately but HDR and ISOHJR together makes some ok pictures in broad daylight and you zoom in more than the stock camera pictures but yet obviosly you see some imperfections im just waiting for them to give us the 5.1 update or someone to give us a custom ROM
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Borghi:
Where are you finding "focus lock"? There is an "exposure lock" but I cant find anything for focus lock.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Its on the focus options - hit the icon with the dot on it - and then on the resulting popup menu, it is the lock symbol on the second row (next to the macro symbol). It prevents the phone from constantly refocusing .
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
There is a good reason for HJR and the HDR combo to produce good results in broad daylight. HDR is well suited for bright light situation to begin with. Normally in bright daylight, the camera will dial down the ISO (100 in this case ) to its minimum value since the shutter is fast enough in bright light . However, HDR works by taking three pictures and then merging them together. So now you need three pictures that are properly aligned. So what HJR is doing is bumping up the ISO so that it can further speed up the shutter. If you blow up such a picture 100% you will notice that it is grainy, But on the screen of the phone, or even on a 40" 1080p TV, they look pretty good.

I do not think a custom ROM will help the camera. In my opinion the biggest issue with the camera is the lens and there is not much we can do about it. At the same time we need to remember that this is a $200 phone ( referring to the pre-order price ) and it is probably not fair to expect DSLR style results from it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gecko702:
hmmm yea figures yet its a sony sensor almost similar to the one plus one but if you find some good settings keep us posted but i kept on using HJR with HDR or AR and been getting some good results
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mk3:
Is it me or does the stock camera have issues with focusing and light level adjusting? It seems to take a lot of blurry pictures even when touching the screen to tell it where to focus. Sorry I'm not a camera geek and don't know the terms but I've abandoned it for now using the Google camera. I don't take a lot of pictures but when I do I need a basic and easy to use camera.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Focusing certainly is an issue. It is partly due to the software, partly due to how we are using it, and partly due to the lens quality. I do not use the stock camera app for still pictures anymore. I have found that OpenCamera is a well rounded app for taking regular pictures - make sure that you choose ISO_HJR as the ISO setting, and use the focus lock option ( this means that the camera focuses only when you touch the screen ) . If you want to take HDR pictures, 'A Better Camera' has given me good results. I still use the stock app for videos, but I turned off digital image stabilization.
