[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunclud:
I have the n915fy version of note edge. When i turn on the camera, it take about 15 -30 secs for the auto focus to respond/start working. I upgraded to lollipop 5.0.1 few days after purchase but did not take note of this issue before upgrade. When i clear camera cache and data, the problem gets fixed for the first time of camera use but problem comes back after first use of camera. What could be the cause and what is the suggested solutions.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubart:
Same problem here, not fixed yet. I noticed that autofocusing is instant if the phone is very hot...
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norbarb:
I think this is hardware issue. If you shake it you will get focus fast.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristy7610:
I have the same problem with autofocus..I had this problem since I get the phone,with kit kat..After update the problem is still here.Not always is happen but is there especialy in low light conditions.Is there a fix for this?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunclud:
Rightly said, i guess its a hardware issue, since updates did not fix it. The only way i get quicker focus is by tapping the phone close to the lens. Could be weird sometimes. :o
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norbarb:
I get fix. I ordered camera module form HERE and watch video on You Tube witch help me with replacing camera. All process took 15-20 min and cost around $20.

Good luck
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngtheking:
It is fixed permanently?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norbarb:
Seems like. Two days so fare and everything look ok.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norbarb:
5 days after a replace camera module and a have no problem with auto focus. I read somewhere if you disable s-health app camera works normally.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngtheking:
After disabling the shealth, the blur is gone instantly. More time on it as an experiment
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunclud:
Same here. Just like magic. Looks lite the same health sensor is affecting the camera auto focus
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubart:
How do you disable S Health? I tried with Titanium but that makes no difference...
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunclud:
Go to settings, applications manager, select s health and you will see disable , just under unistall.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubart:
If I do that, I get a message that the app is about to be replaced with the original version. So basically it uninstalls the updates...
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunclud:
It will uninstall update and also disable app.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngtheking:
The method works. You save me $20.

Lesson learned, head hanging down... Oh well. I tried guy. Either ways that only REINFORCES that we all need to get together and share what we know! Hence this thread:

Time for us to come together and put all of our knowledge together. Every known exploit for our bootloader, kernel, rom, ect needs to be logged in one area. All our partitions / sizes / locations / offsets need to be logged. Any and all information that can be gleamed from out fxz/sbf's need to be logged.

I have my own root exploit I want to work on for 5.0 and below... If that time comes, I'll release that. For now I'll keep this updated

Planned todo in order :

safestrap (Will boost Dev's, makes testing roms a breeze!)

kexec (Now Dev's can start juggling kernels) (maybe even forcefully reduce original kernels memory use) (reclaiming resources?, turning off unneeded original kernels modules ect... why not full hijacking of original kernel? Can you write to ANY memory region? (See graphics buffer vulnerability below.....hmmm 5.0 and under "AIO root / kexc / safestrap"? )

cm kernel (Hopefully a Dev beats me to it, as I have next planned....)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] duke_stix:
Hi

This is a small request im hoping the major rom cookers- those who release version after version could fulfill.

basically, i was wondering if it could be possible for you to maintain links to PREVIOUS releases, so in your threads you would have v1, v2, v3, v4 etc etc with, if possible, a 'change log'

this would be really great, as ive recently had to flash a spate of roms that have had small bugs, where previous builds were a lot more stable but i can no longer get hold of them!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ExploreMN:
So you don't save the previous version on your hard drive just in case? I'm pretty new to this, but I have a folder called "Wizard Upgrade" and under that one of the folders is called "Roms" and in the Roms folder I have sub-folders like Crossbow-Reloaded 1.7, Crossbow-Reloaded 1.7.1, NBD 72., NBD 73., T-Mobile Original, etc.

Though I can agree with a change log as it is nice to see what has happened and what has been done, but I don't think it is fair to ask the chefs to maintain a copy of every version they made. Roms are only about 50meg on average. You can get a 500 GB hard drive for like $88 on sale.

Can anyone who purchased the G4 coming from the G3 comment on how the phones reception is.. Is it better with calls and LTE? Thanks!

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viperkota:
each phone of the same type can vary with signal. my wife and i both had a g3, sitting next to each other doing speed test. hers ways always faster by several Mbps, but mine would show a tad more on the signal strength.

now i have the g4, but have yet to compare, but signal seems to be pretty close to what the g3 was in the same areas.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
I think they are very comparable. I don't have any scientific data, but I don't notice that I get LTE or better service in areas with either the G3 or G4, and speed tests are the same on both.

Idk about the g3, but compared to my s6, this phone's reception sucks. 2 bars with s6, 0.5 bars with the g4.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny70thomas:
That's funny, I live in CA and I can from S6 edge. I loved that phone, I just prefer a larger screen, and my daughter wanted my edge so I got my g4. My reception is exceptionally better, and my Internet is so much quicker. I used to have to restart my edge a lot, it would almost come to a halt.

I thought since the chip in this was so much weaker, I'd notice it. It's been the opposite. Better. In everyway
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superbonto:
coming from a country with very unstable and fluctuative signal reception, i can say that G4 is ways better than G3 in terms of signal reception.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niflheim123:
Hello,

I am trying to build cyanogenmod kernel for an unsupported device. As I learned, the options for kernel build are in the file cyanogenmod_xxx_defconfig.

In that file you have to specify what config you have to use (for example CCONFIG_ARM=y , CONFIG_HAVE_PWM=y). I am experiencing some build problems because if I enable some options there are other config requirements for that for example CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=y requires CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=y. If you build without that there is no clear way of showing you that you are missing that config option and you have to enable it. Sometimes it does say that something is undefined, so I have to search for that word in the sources, find the missing .h file, figure it out what option does it need in the config file (sometimes unsuccessful).

I belive if a map of the config options is available somewhere will greatly help adapting cyanogenmod for other unsuported devices.

for example

CONFIG_BT_HCIUART=y (uses files from kernel\drivers\bt\.... )

|

|---------- CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_H4=y (uses files from kernel\drivers\bt\....)

If you happen to know some documentation on these files will be greatly appreciated, eventually develop a custom tool for setting those options and dependencies.

Thank you for your time.

[ZenFone 2 General] Minim3:
I haven't really measured using the battery usage. I go by normal use through out the day comparing it with my S5, I'll go through a day running my typical apps, texting, surfing and emailing and the odd calls. I'll end up with about 60-70% battery life by about 9 pm from about 8 am, that's when I sit down and plug it in to charge, I consider pretty good considering I was getting about 30-40% with my Galaxy S5 using it the same way. Not sure if that helps.

I've used mine for a bit over a day and I'm impressed. Performance is great, build quality seems great too. I've read some reviews that state the phone feels cheap, but to me it feels and looks better than Samsung S4 or S5.

I have no problem reaching the power button on top, it feels easier than pressing the power button on the side of my old 4.7" Blu Life Play phone, as I don't have to change the grip to reach the power button.

Battery life is a concern though. Yesterday I spent the day applying updates, rooting, instalar all my apps and tweaking all config options. The charge did not last me the day. Hopefully today it'll fare better today after all customization and setup is done.

i have no problem with battery too, with a normal use, some calls, web browsing, whatsapp and facebook i still have more than 50% at home at night, a great improvement since my samsung s3

[ZenFone 2 General] smokinjoe2122:
Sorry to bring up an older post, but I see a lot of people loving this phone, and some haters (There's always haters)....I have an iphone 6 now after being on Android for a long time, and I'm about fed up with iOS...All of the things people say about iOS are true...locked down...Boring...Ect... That's a different topic for a different day..

My question is, how is the screen? Lots of people have complained about brightness, or lack there of. Also, camera, is it at least average? I'm looking to go about 300 on a phone and there's a few choices out there, but none seem as powerful as the Zenfone 2 with 4gb of ram, 64gb storage. It seems a little more future proof than the OPO, so I'm thinking of getting it....

Will I be disappointed coming from the Nexus line, then iPhone 6?

I came from an HTC m7 and I love my new ZenFone 2. I have the 4gb/64gb model and it is superb. I also was worried about screen brightness, but I haven't found it bad at all.
[ZenFone 2 General] harvid:
I've had mine now about 3 weeks and I think that the phone is great for the price. The camera is OK, certainly not iPhone 6 good, but reasonable, especially when you use alternate camera apps. The screen is fine, but once again, I'm indoors most of the day, so no issue. Max brightness outside is not so great the one or two times I've used it.

I think that the phone is a work in progress and that a lot of the deficiencies that you see people griping about will be addressed with future Android updates. On the plus side, Asus had been sending out updates frequently so they seem committed to making this phone better.
[ZenFone 2 General] smokinjoe2122:
Thanks for the input guys...Really having a hard time between this and the OPO....I still have until the end of the month to make my choice, but I'm leaning towards this phone...Really can't go wrong for $300 per the specs, and I like that Asus is continually updating this phone....

[ZenFone 2 General] thefallen924:
I came from a Nexus 5 and was considering the same two phones as you. Decided to go with the zenfone 2 based on Asus being more reputable and customer friendly from what i read. So far its been great. I did root (which is super easy via one click) and used titanium to freeze all the unwanted apps. Haven't experienced any lag. Camera wont be as good as the Iphone, but definitely better than my nexus 5. I dont game on it because I dont see the point of gaming on a phone, but i did run hearthstone flawlessly. To me, the build quality is nice. comparable to Galaxy s4/5, so im not sure why so many reviews bring it up as a major con. at $300 this phone is awesome. And once Asus pushed out 5.1 it should shine even more, as 5.1 bumps android up to 64bit, and this has a 64bit chipset.
[ZenFone 2 General] sdrawkcab3:
This phone is way better than I expected for $299. I'm coming from an LG G2, and I'm not missing anything. You can spend 3x this much on a phone and you won't end up with much more.

Honestly my biggest nit-pick is the power button placement, but double-tap-to-wake/sleep is far more convenient than any possible hardware switch. Battery life is a touch lower than I'm used to, but QC 2 is really great.
