[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randpost:
Changing that camera setting made the double tap camera feature much better. Is there any way I can activate with double tap camera from the homescreen? I've een playing with the camera in low light for a few hours now, and the G4 has proven to be much better in auto mode than the S6. I'm impressed.

The S5's finger print reader was terrible, as is the reader on my Note 4. The S6's reader is flawless for me.

You can't really compare brightness/sharpness if you don't currently have an S6 or had an S6 as you mentioned. (See bold) The S6 has a considerably higher brightness. That isn't opnion, it's fact and I believe that almost every flagship is brighter than the G4. Sharpeness is negligible though. Both screens are sharp.

When I was referring to the cloud = Cloud would be Play movies, Netflix, Google Play streaming, Hulu etc. Relying on those for media consumption doesn't seem risky to me. I save pictures with Google Photo's and One drive. Seems redundant enough to keep my pictures safe.

Everything is dependant on the user's needs and perception like other users have stated. I can see why someone would choose either phone depending on needs. The S6 just fits my wants/needs better. My oldest kid likes the G4 though, so It won't be going back to TMO now. We can retire his G3 instead.

I don't know if updates will fix everything with the G4. Updates never fixed the G3's stuttering (forour unit at least).

True, not having the Quick charger isn't a big deal especially if you already have a few laying around. I believe we have 4 or 5 of them in our house. Plus the spare battery really makes it useless. Still, I would have liked to have another anyway :D
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoni1980:
Can you tell me if your G4 has a pinkish hue in the middle when you use the camera in low light with certain backgrounds? Seems more noticeable on grey or white backgrounds, and is not noticeable at all in normal light.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
So you found the change setting? I'm not sure about the home setting. I currently don't have the phone until Monday (I've researched/read reviews about the phone and played with it in the store)

If they finally fixed the fingerprint issue, that's great! Just from watching the videos online I see you had to sorta long press the finger, rather than a few knocks on the scree. All a matter of personal preference which you like for this:)

I can compare this by Monday. Wife will activate her S6 later today and I'll be able to come back with this then! Do you have it auto-brightness or all the way up for both when you compared? In the store, the G4's seemed a tad better. I've seen the outside test (from numerous videos) when it's bright outside, the G4's was more superior being able to see better.

Ahh OK, miscommunication there! I still just prefer external SD. Can take out phone, swap between phones, tablets, computer etc rather than physically having to hook up and transfer/view.

I agree, everything is a matter of personal preference on these. I meant no harm or foul with you:) was just throwing my two cents back to your points! I will be able to properly tell by Monday the pros/cons of daily usage and everything between the two. I've always been a Sammy guy, this will be my first phone in years that's not them. I like to have BL's unlocked and being on Verizon, I have a 99.99% change this will happen on the G4 (as G3 was within a couple months) than I EVER will on the S6. One thing I might take some time getting used to is no physical "home" button as well as the other symbols for recents/back.

many car stereos give a warning beep when the car is switched off to remind you to remove the face plate of the stereo

Is there an app for PPC that reminds you when power from the car is switched off

[Xperia Z1 General] thunderising:
Google announced the Android M update at I/O 2015 keynote. Android M takes Android L and optimizes the **** out of it.

- Better battery life

- Android Pay

- Fingerprint support

- USB Type-C

- Enhanced Google Now

- App Permissions

That's a power-packed features list, eh? More about Android M features here. Also, the Android M Developer Preview is already available.

I wonder if the Xperia Z1 would ever get the Android M update, seeing that the Android 5.1 Lollipop update itself won't arrive until August 2015.
[Xperia Z1 General] saleh9416:
highly doubt it!
[Xperia Z1 General] albertobom:
Yes, an the Android XL also.
[Xperia Z1 General] cingolat:
If the z had received lollipop, maybe z1 will get android m.......should be possible....
[Xperia Z1 General] palkia171993:
I also highly doubt Z1 will get it. As of right now, I only hope Z1 will receive a fully stable no bug (no battery drain, no sound vollume problem, etc.) 5.1. Besides, I don't think Z1 can get much benefits from M anyway (like those fingerprint support or usb-c or even Android Pay since it's clearly not available everywhere)
[Xperia Z1 General] bosas200:
But under the hood improvements are always welcome
[Xperia Z1 General] palkia171993:
Sure an update is always welcomed. It's just that we shouldn't really get our hopes up. In my opinion, It's already Sony's best effort for Z1 if it get 5.1. By the time M is official released, Z1 will probably be way over the 18 month support period by Sony. But who know, just my guess, maybe Sony will surprise us (in a good way :D )
[Xperia Z1 General] thunderising:
BTW, is there any dev working on porting Android M developer preview for the Xperia Z1?
[Xperia Z1 General] svdkillswitch:
I'd like Android M, but if we don't get it then 5.1 had better solve the issue with the mobile radio staying active and causing ridiculous amounts of battery drain.

I guess one thing to keep in mind is that the Z got 5.0.2, so perhaps they will only drop support for the Z given how different the hardware is, while the Z1, Z Ultra and Z1C all share very similar hardware. From what I can tell, the hardware hasn't changed all that much since the Z Ultra aside from the Z3+/Z4 which is using an octa-core S810 compared to the quad-core S800/S801 inside most of the rest of the Z series. Whether that has much sway on development time I wouldn't have any idea.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aidey68:
If they can include Auto Backup for Apps http://developer.android.com/preview/backup/index.html Also using your micro SD card as internal storage.... http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...or-accessed-normally-with-no-additional-apps/

That would be great for those who don't root their handset
[Xperia Z1 General] KWOKSFUNG:
Even Z can get updated to 5.1 i think Z1 can at least get 2 more major updates. So yes :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Papanik:
Of course not. I understand we all love our devices, but guys, it's just marketing. However, let's hope someone ports it to our Z1, otherwise, we may need to buy something new in the near future. ;)

[Xperia Z1 General] NexusGTS:
i think it will recive M because the original z will also receve 5.1.1 so probably the z1 will recive the last android version as android M.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rebel2k:
That's really nice! :) At least that smells good!
[Xperia Z1 General] mckeowngoo:
Sony will sell its mobile business before the Z1 gets M.

In a surprise twist, the Google Now Launcher has an update in M!

The drawer now is arranged alphabetically (as always), but has letter separation on phones

It also has a row of what appear to be recently used apps on the top.

On top of that there's a search to filter apps.

The widgets picker has also been revamped, it now scrolls vertically & horizontally (vertically for different apps, horizontally for apps with many widgets)

Screenshots:

Installation:

You need root for this

Download this zip

Extract it

Copy the libs to /system/lib

chmod them to 644 (rw-r--r--)

Install the APK

Reboot for good measure

[XDA Assist] daddynene:
Hi there

I have been given a project and I cant for the life of me get it to work. It is an Elebest EL-H700 . Basically its an android tablet that you mount to your rear view mirror and has a rear facing camera on it. It also has built in sat nav apps and the like. My friend has tried to install something on it and now it is stuck in the recovery menu. Only trouble is that in order to exit/navigate in any recovery menu stock or cfw you need volume keys to navigate up and down then an enter button(usually home button). Only trouble is there are 5 buttons on it.....mute, gps, power, dvr and home button only trouble is any button I press just cycles it to reset and back to recovery menu as its the top option in the menu. There is obviously something fundamentally wrong with the device as it keeps cycling to recovery menu. So after that long winded description of my woes, can anybody tell me if they have encountered such a device and how to restore it to factory state???, or, any type of flasher and stock rom for me to attempt said reset on my pc

please help

regards

Daddynene

Hello!

So, yesterday I somehow got bootloop with the stock .242 rom on which had recovery, root and xposed. Then I just re-flashed the system using flashtool. I was lazy to do the downgrade rooting method, so I rooted it using kingroot and then installed the dualrecovery from NUT. From there, I installed a .270 .zip which I made using PRF creator and also flashed the dualrecovery zip. The rom runs fine, but I don't have root! When I start SuperSU it says that there is no su binary. I can do anything, it just doesn't work. Could someone explain me what the hell is that or what did I do wrong?

1.does the phone have silent mode? with lolipop silent mode was kind of canceled at stock android smartphones and you could only put the phone on vibrate, but the manufacturer UI still had it...

2.thats kind of stupid one but...one of the things i like about sense is the dialer it does not rotating at all! only when in car mode,so in UX 4.0 does the dialer rotate?

3.one of the features i like about touchwiz is that when you watch a video you can see it while it floats around,i know lg got qslide but i dont know if thats one of the options.

4.what apps coming with the phone and can you remove them?

5.did any of you tried greenify ? why do i ask ,well i tried to use it with samsung devices (actually s2,s4.s4 lte-a,s5 all not rooted) and it seemed like greenify didnt get along with them some why...(keyboard didnt work well,talkback didnt stop working,sms app failure and more)

6.do the camera have burst mode like sense? its not a must have feature but its a nice to have...

7.what are the sort categories on the gallery and on the music player?

8. its not a direct question about the UI but still,som one posted on the general furom that he got an update to his lg g4 i did search on google and found nothing about it,so my question is where can i find update list/changelog/or any thing that is connected to software updates...

9.do the headphone plugin on the bottom is comfortable?

keep in mind few things ,i am coming from HTC Desire so...its a huge step forward, i have bad to good english so i am sorry for the spelling mistakes and those question came from playing with other people smartphones
