[G4 General] jdwash11:
I was a little confused by the AE-L button initially as well (mainly because this doesn't need to be enabled to set your exposure on a DSLR). Turns out that it needs to be enabled in order to manually set shutter speed and ISO.

I wouldn't expect to be able to change ISO or shutter speed and have the other setting auto-adjust though since it's supposed to emulate manual mode and not shutter priority, etc.
[G4 General] cpufrost:
I agree, not having metering mode is crazy! Most other phones have this setting.

It just makes it harder to try to compensate with balancing ISO and exposure and even then there's lots of dynamic range issues with highlights clipping, etc. Full auto has a very difficult time dealing with this.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
yes but its a bigger HW limitation on the k zoom because the aperture only starts at 3.1 and starts decreasing further with more zoom. Flash is an option though i prefer not to use the zenon.

here's how it works on the k zoom, In program mode, if i change ISO, shutter moves appropriately. But i hardly do that. Most of the time i use +/-ev comp. The G4 can do this part. What is odd is it only allows this in manual mode where technically it has no role.

In manual mode on the k, both iso & shutter are seperate. EV comp is greyed out because its not relevant here. if i change shutter then i also have to set ISO. This is how the G4 behaves.

So really what you want is a sort of program mode. Normally i would expect ISO to be an option in auto mode along with ev comp.

So there is no need to tap to focus then. if you point it at some thing it focuses and gives some indication that its ready ?

ah, half shutter press is something that would have been nice to have. the lock only lasts 3 seconds though, thought it would stay locked once you picked it. This is one of the things that annoys me on the k, if you want to lock focus you have to half press and keep half pressing otherwise it wanders off. There is no manual focus on the k.

This means kids shots are mostly auto. if you have to be quick then manual is out. At least for the first shot. after you can set what you want and so long as the lighting does not change. it wont if you're indoors and in the same general area then you can use manual after.
[G4 General] jakiman:
Yes. That's definitely what it needs. LG just went straight to manual mode when majority of people won't even use it that often.

Correct. The focus points light up green to indicate it successfully focused just like the G3 although it's more discrete.

That's right. Most people will still use full auto even if set to the manual mode. Still, just seeing the live exposure info is very handy.

One extra thing to point out which the G4 is good at is the closest focus distance.

It's can focus about an inch closer than the iPhone 6+ which is great for close up pics.
[G4 General] vincent2167:
Even though I agree that it would be highly preferable and easier to have the automatic setups you described, what limits me the most is the following use case:

If I want to maximize the image quality and shoot at ISO 50, there is a limitation with the speed spread of 1 full stop (i.e. 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/120).

If the good exposure for a scene at ISO 50 is 1/20, I would have no choice but to overexpose or underexpose the picture.

EDIT: Actually, having the implementation you suggested would solve my concern. I set up the ISO to 50 and the camera takes care of the rest.
[G4 General] larsdennert:
All these settings have to get translated into what the camera actually has. It has no film. Therefore ISO is not a real number.

The sensor has a native ISO. Probably 200 but it would be interesting to see specs. ISO can only be simulated using sensor gain.

It has an electronic shutter, not a physical one. However the function is the same.

It has a fixed aperature too probably.

It may even be fixed focus. Again it would be interesting to see the inside. Many cell phone cameras focus in software not hardware. But that could be the really cheap ones.

After all, most cell cameras are the $7 variety.

I spent about an hour in the store with a G4 yesterday. I think I'm going to buy one. OIS is touchy. You have to pan very slow and smooth to prevent it from being jumpy. But, then who wants a roller coaster video anyway?
[G4 General] One Twelve:
it's worth it for the exp comp.

please tell me you don't have to mess with iso & shutter for that, it would make no sense at all.

was looking at the night shots taken

here

again and i figure the guy just tapped on the brightest spot to drop the exposure. There was no manual used at all.

This means its like the M9. Thing with the m9 is if you tap to focus you screw up the exposure, you let it get focus and then click, very much a one hand shooter. Have not heard people complain about G4 exposure so tap to focus is not harmful with the G4.

For me it much more reassuring than the simple mode :D

i can get focus with the k at little under 4 cm on the widest aperture. i figured all these ~28mm equivalent fixed lenses would be similar.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Was checking out manual camera interfaces on other devices.

On the m9+, i changed shutter and ISO got picked automatically. Just pointed, let it get focus and was done.

Did the same with a lumia 540. Again ISO got picked automatically and i got the shot.

High ISO for 1/125 and no flash but easy to use.
[G4 General] AnteusFogg:
Just get FV-5 Camera and you'll have everything you want :)
[G4 General] jakiman:
Yeah. EV Comp works as expected while everything else remains automatic.

G4 does not expose based on the focus point. He said he used negative EV comp.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Ah, i cant follow spanish but i can understand his photos. At the time i 'assumed' he used EV comp, easiest to do.

Then i decided to test that assumption and discovered the 'exposure compensation' field in the exifs is set to zero (!)

Unless there is a bug here, it means no EV was used. Which means he set shutter & iso for all of those shots.

Since you want to catch movement, have you tried to

pull frames

out of 4k videos.

Steam video grab! by threelib, on Flickr

Does not look too bad at 8MP. Course there has to be enough light. Was taking some snaps of welders the other day and it was really hard to get the right moment. After about 10 shots on the k i managed to get one that looked right. After 30 i had three. Burst mode wasn't good enough to catch the moment. No 4k! on the k.

Finally i have this idea since the G4 is a auto focus by itself, that if it gets focus by itself then its less likely to misfocus. tapping to focus can get it wrong. From what i've seen you only get this in manual mode with the focus dots and not in auto. This is a conjecture for the moment, until some one tests it.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] cbdigitalmovie:
Hi,

I´m using the Artemis with the German o2 WM6 ROM. I am missing the RDC (remote desktop client), which was left out by o2 to avoid additional licensing costs. For me as an admin, this was one reason to buy the machine (my old MDA 3 had it so I did no expect something to disappear...). I am just wondering if there is a way to just copy it from some other machine. I would even buy it but I guess that´s not an option because Microsoft won´t sell it as a standalone product.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Chris
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] soololi:
Try this ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] cbdigitalmovie:
Thanks. Already found it too, but wasn't sure because some people reported having problems with the keyboard...

Works like a charm except for the fact that it does not dial if there is no GPRS connection running. But I guess just starting by hand is ok. Or is there a way to tell the client which connection to dial?

Thanks again

Chris
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghosthree3:
So I just managed to upgrade to 5.0 and everything went fine except for one thing, a problem I did not expect. I did not expect Touchwiz to have completely changed into a disgusting light theme. I hate it so much that I would rather downgrade to 4.4.2 again than keep using it. Is there a way for me to get the old dark Touchwiz theme back or do I have to grab some custom launcher with a dark theme built in?

EDIT: I know Nova Launcher is very popular, it would give me the dark theme I want right?
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Okay, here's the problem. Since June 3rd my phone will not stay connected to 4g. I toggle airplane mode and I instantly lock on to 4g. Signalcheck reads between -109 and -115. This is normal for me at home. Until the 3rd I could hold that lte 1900mhz (band 25) and never drop it unless i went further into my home. I almost never get band 41 unless Im closer to a tower. Band 26 is nonexistant in Buffalo (too close to canada).

Since then I toggle airplane mode and can lock on to LTE 25 (same signal strengths) but it drops to eHRPD 3g every single time.... Within 10-15 seconds. Same happens when I reboot.

I am running full stock, stock recovery, ZVG, and the G2 is rooted.

I have tried:

Disabling band 26 and 41. And connecting to any combination of them on/off.

Modifying the bsr timer, etc.

Updating prl, profile, and even reactivation many many times.

Factory reset on ZVG, 3x.

Full TOT back to ZVE, unrooted. (Still same problem even on ZVE, unrooted and yes I never had this issue on ZVE before updating to ZVG the first time.)

Redownloaded ZVG and reinstall after TOT, no improvement.

Called sprint and have been working with engineers in Oklahoma city office. They swear up an down its not a tower issue, or a eCSFB problem.

I have the same problem even away from my home towers.

I have opened the device to inspect for damage, or moisture, there is none I can see.

I havent dropped it hard, or exposed it to any water that I can think of.

So anyone have any ideas on what I should try next, or do to get my 4g to stick?

Im a bit at a loss. Ive tried every setting, trick, or troubleshooting step I can think of.

Thanks in advance for any help or knowledge you can provide.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
For anyone that may have a problem like this in the future I solved my issues by having sprint send me a new sim card. Being that I bought my g2 the day it was released I guess maybe my sim went bad. It was a long shot and my last ditch effort to get 4g back. I now have a steady 4g signal.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Thanks for posting what fixed it for you. I've also been having this same problem for about the last 2 weeks. It just won't hold LTE. I'll stop by my local Sprint store today for a new sim and hopefully that does the trick for me as well.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Unfortunately even with the new sim card the problem returned after a few days. I called Sprint and asked them to put in a dummy sim number to unregister the sim, and then re-add the sim back. It fixed the problem immediately once again.

Frankly, I dont understand what the problem is. I know its related to the sim card but I havent reset (powered down) my phone in a week. Im kinda worried the problem will come back if I do. Cant see it being a bad sim reader in the phone. Otherwise it wouldnt start working on 4g again after resetting it via sprint.

Im stumped.

I can always call sprint and have them reset the sim again but Id rather know if its some kind of bug that will be fixed. I contacted LG and they acted like I am outta my mind.

[MX Player] athlonia:
hi to all,

i am wondering whether mx player developers could program the app so that it can search and auto-load subtitle files from local/sd folder in our android tablets or phones. this is an important feature when users stream video content from dlna servers that do not expose the subtitle files together with the video files. thus the subtitle could not played together with the video files.

this means users have to specify which folder in the local/sd storage the subtitles are stored in the mx player preferences. the subtitle files (srt files for example) have to be named the same as the names of the video files.

eg:

movie01.mp4 (streaming from dlna)

movie01.srt (local/sd folder in our tablet/phone)

i am not sure whether there are others experiencing this issue before but it there are any, this feature will be a great addition to mx player's long list of strong capabilities right now. thanks you.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's already there.

By default MX Player uses <path of internal sdcard>/Subtitles (e.g: /storage/emulated/0/Subtitles)

you can easily change it from the Settings >> Subtitle >> Subtitle Folder

If any matching subtitles are found in subtitles folder MX Player will automatically load

Safestrap never works. I always select recovery when its powering on and it just powers up normally and takes me to my lockscreen. I installed safestrap using the apk, im already rooted on stock lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sean89us:
You probably missed the step where he said to flash the nc1 kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sac02:
Yup, safestrap is known to be not fully compatible with OC3, that's why you have to flash the NC1 kernel in order to be able to use SS to flash your custom ROM. Don't forget to flash back to the OC3 kernel though, as stated in step 4.3.4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robot_head:
Bootloops everytime. Flash kernels and modules after rom..reboot, samsumg custom screen then safestrap then 10 seconds later back to custom screen. After flashing kernels and modules I'm still able to get into recovery, nc1 should be gone in order for ss to work. I'm so sick of odin... :( :what:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sac02:
So you got all the way to step 4.3.6 successfully, it sounds like? And now you are just getting the Safestrap screen - where you can either "continue" or "recovery"? How many times did you hit "continue" and go through the "bootloop" (if any)?

After step 4.3.6, when you boot into your custom ROM, you will have the Safestrap screen pop up several times (like, at least four or five) - keep hitting "continue" and you will eventually get into the ROM. This is another symptom of Lollipop not being fully compatible with Safestrap.

I did not put that detail in the writeup. Very sorry it caused you issues. :( I am updating with that info now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robot_head:
I must of not been patient enough, with so many failed rom installs with this locked bootloader i just odin'd back to nb1 to get to oc3...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cats_PJs:
Read through your tutorial, very nice. ?The only thing I noticed is you flash the kernel before the modules. I think flashing the kernel should be the very last step before rebooting, I'm not sure it matters, but it might. Also when the phone is booting I never touch any buttons (continue or recovery) just let it work through the screens on it's own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sac02:
Thanks, Cats_PJs - I will edit the OP to indicate flashing the modules before the kernel. I didn't see such a recommendation to flash one or the other first in my research, and I honestly can't remember now which I flashed first. But I will update the OP to recommend flashing the kernel last, just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] enerj:
