[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartuser8:
Hello,

When I use creative effect mode with my Z3C I see a lot of lags on the screen when I move the phone (like... you know... when you make a video...). I thought it was normal and just on the screen but with normal final result. But when I record a video with creative effect, I see lags on the screen BUT also in the final video when I watch it.

Am I alone? :confused:

Thanks!

EDIT: NO I don't have Stamina mode

I've never tried video recording with creative effects, but it doesn't surprise me. Most of the creative effects seem to stress the processor and some have even experienced the camera app shutting down to prevent over-heating.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartuser8:
Too bad, I can't make "real" video with effect, always lags in some parts.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] `Ghost`:
try clearing out all apps and running programs before recording one of the videos. have all processing power available.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartuser8:
OK thank you

I should not have to do that on a 2014-15 flagship. Just to be able to use all the features.... I'd accept it for 4yo phone if you want to use the latest softwares, but a new one? Completely unacceptable.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] `Ghost`:
actually..you SHOULD have to do that. A cpu intensive task needs all power available.

also the videos with these effects on dont get the best frame rates to begin with. theyre for entertainment purposes, not to film a super bowl commercial

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankenscript:
Hi folks,

I'm a bit confused after reading many threads.

I'm thinking of buying an ATT SM-T707A. But I don't want an unrootable device. The locked bootloader is very annoying but for the use I have in mind the lack of custom OS options isn't a big deal. But I need root.

So, I presume a new one from ATT or online will have (or rapidly update to) Lillipop. Is Lollipop rootable on the ATT 8.4 707A?

Marc
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumanji:
Hey,

I'd like to know this too please... the only way I have seen people rooting the T707A is with Kingroot - I just tried now and LP and it doesn't work :(

Cheers,

Su
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
Hey guys. I apologize if this has been addressed before. I did try searching, both XDA and the web in general, before posting this. I have a lot of experience with rooting, ROMing, bootloaders, kernels, Odin, etc. Basically anything associated with customizing a phone. Except for swapping between carriers, I've only done that a couple times and it only involved swapping the SIM and changing the APN. So I don't need kid gloves or a lot of explaining with potential solutions, like editing build.prop or flashing something either locally on the phone or through Odin. But anyways... here's my story, along with my thoughts on potential solutions to try (the only reason I haven't tried these solutions yet is because I don't wanna risk messing anything up):

I was given a Galaxy S5 for AT&T (model number G900A) about a week ago. I'm on Verizon and am currently using an S4 (coming from an S3 and Galaxy Nexus. So I've got a good deal of experience with Samsung devices. Although so much has changed between then and now, it's hardly relevant). So obviously the first thing I did was just throw my SIM from my S4 into the S5. Didn't work. SIM was locked (something I've never seen). Oh well, I didn't expect it to be so simple. The S5 was still on KK, so I figured I'd try a custom ROM to see if that affected the SIM lock. It didn't. So I ordered a SIM unlock code (a girl gave it to me who was given it by her ex boyfriend who didn't like the idea of her giving it to a different guy, so he wasn't exactly cooperative with unlocking it. No biggie, $24 was still well worth it). Since then, I've played with it a bit. I'm currently running TMS5 2.0. It's hard to form a complete opinion on a ROM when I don't have data/cell capacity and can only use WiFi. But with the small amount of experience, it's a nice ROM. I got my SIM unlock code this morning thanks to unlockunit.com. The SIM unlock I had purchased was estimated at 1-6 days and I received it in like 23 hours. I'd definitely use them again if anybody is looking for a place. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Unlock was successful, added the APN settings, but the APN settings wont save. I've rebooted, cleared cache/dalvik, removed/reinstalled SIM, nothing worked. I figured I'd try a new ROM, but wanted to ask for some other opinions too. Also, when I had the thought to try a new ROM, I also thought that maybe a Verizon ROM would work on the Verizon network? But also figured it could not boot too, so I'd ask first.

Anybody have this experience with any solutions? Anybody else have any thoughts/ideas? I'd appreciate any input. Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
after hours upon hours of tinkering with it. I've made extremely slight "progress". Since I've been screwing with this all day, a lot of the time I'm doing something else at the same time. I noticed that when I had filled out the APN fields (listed below, so everyone can see what I'm using) and then turned the screen off and then back on, it would save and show on the APN list. But still didn't work. After looking closer, it was because when the screen turned off, the MCC and MNC changed from 310 and 012 into 311 and 480, respectively. I'm not sure why, but the APN editor automatically puts those numbers in every time I open the APN settings, but they obviously don't work. One time, in the grocery store, it actually saved correctly. The antenna bars showed correctly and the 4G icon showed for the first time. Then as soon as I left the APN screen to check the browser, they reverted, I went back into the APN list and it was gone again... this is incredibly frustrating

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
So I switched from Twisted back to TMS5 2.0 to check the APN settings in it as well. And it has the same issue, MCC is 311 and MNC is 480 by default upon opening the APN editor. TMS5 also has "default,hipri" under APN Type by default.

Just for the hell of it. I decided to try changing those numbers 1 at a time and saving. The APN Type was the only one that allowed me to change it. As I expected. I'm going to give AllianceROM a shot now and hope it works, but I have a hunch that *IF* flashing a different ROM does work, it will be a KK ROM. But I'm giving it shot just because I can quickly flash with FF, rather than having to use Kies and SS. Fingers crossed...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
as expected. AllianceROM didn't work. Next step, I'm going to try the stock rooted OC4. I *REALLY* hope this works. The idea of flashing back to KK from LP makes me uneasy. If anybody is reading this, and knows how to flash a G900A back to KK, or knows of a thread that explains it, I'd really appreciate it.

(I apologize to those of you who I'm sure are getting annoyed at what seems to be a solo conversation. I'm only trying to document each different step I've tried just in case there's someone out there going through the same thing that happens to stumble across this thread. In the off chance that it turns out that I can't discover something that *DOES* work, I'd at least like to document what *DOESN'T* work so they can save the time and effort. Considering that I've wasted 15 hours now on this **** already, I'd at least like to save anyone with this same problem that stumbles across this thread some of that time.

Anyways... time to flash OC4...

Dude, just unlock all the bands from the secret menu. Google it. Go to UE Settings/Settings/Protocol/NAS/Network Control/Band Selection and select LTE/WCMA.

To access the hidden menu, use the app Secret Codes.

Warning: The code to enter the menu varies from carrier.

APN isn't needed. The relevant apn info is already on your SIM.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
Wow. I wish I knew that. I even called VZW and they told me that it only had a gsm antenna and was impossible to use on VZW. Well I took that, and T-Mobile's sale as a sign. I had kicked around the idea of switching to T-Mobile and selling my VZW unlimited plan ever since T-Mobile came out with unlimited data plans. Especially with no contract. It just seemed like the ideal plan for $80. Then they had the sale for $100 for 2 lines unlimited talk/text/LTE. Which was what my Verizon plan was for one line and only 450 minutes. Turns out my friend and his girlfriend thought the same and just switched to that plan. So they added me as a 3rd line. Unlimited everything for only $40/month is incredible. So before I sold my VZW plan, I ran speedtest just to see what the difference was. Obviously expecting T-Mobile to be at a disadvantage there. Nope. T-Mobile was 35.37MB/s down, 11.65MB/s up. Verizon was 10.12 down and 2.57 up. But I live in Phoenix, so it's a big city with small buildings to get in the way and mountains scattered throughout to put radio towers on. I'm sure the results would be quite different in rural areas. But for my situation, I can't ask for more. Unlimited excellent service for less that half of what I used to pay. Plus I got to cash out decently on my old VZW unlimited plan before they either bring back unlimited data or do away with AOL, which I think one or the other will happen soon.

All-in-all, I couldn't be happier with a free S5 with a better plan on better service for a much better price. And I've rooted the S5 and put TMS5 2.0 on it which runs incredibly. I was very nervous making the jump but am so glad I did.

I just wish I checked this thread before so I could have been able to confirm if that would have worked to put this phone on Verizon, or if it was stuck as GSM only as was the conclusion I came to after trying everything I could possibly think of, and listed in this thread. I'm gonna see if I can find a friend with VZW that'll let me give it a shot with their SIM just to hopefully be able to help anyone else with the same issue
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swimguy14:
Wow man heads up more people may give your their $.02 if they didn't have to spend 5 minutes reading each post!

The reason your data didn't work is because you didn't update the modem when you updated the system (by using the different lollipop roms)... If you had updated the modem, data would have worked.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 52brandon:
Oh well. Live and learn. It's not that I enjoy typing novels, I just wanted to be as detailed as possible with what I was trying. It all worked out though. T-Mobile has better service in my area and I cashed out well from my VZW data plan. So I have no complaints with how it turned out I guess

I have a Joying head unit, RK3066 based, 4.4.4, I am wondering if there is a way to replace the stock music player, and have it work like stock.

I have tried Poweramp (something better?), but it only works on a hard boot, I have my unit set to sleep for 2 hours before doing full shutdown, so on short trips, poweramp opens, but I have to reach over and hit play, also it starts at the beginning of the track, sometimes I listen to hours long audio tracks, and thats not nice.

I have tried xposedMTC, but it does not help.

The stock music player obviously restarts where you left off, no matter what - is there a way to emulate that stock behavior on a better app?
[Android Head-Units] War-Rasta:
If the unit was shutdown completely I don't think there's a way to make PowerAmp resume where it was. This would be a behavior inherent to PowerAmp and I doubt it could be modified, but if you find a way please post it here as I'm also interested in the same.

Stock music player

Anybody has a solution for this? I have exactly the same problem. I know that I can use different app but this one is responding to my steering wheel controls

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Or maybe someone know an app which can be controlled from steering wheel buttons and also have little better organized viewing of audio file which can be sorted by artist..... an folders
[Android Head-Units] aqpoo89:
autostart

just install "autostart" app on playstore and set autoboot "music player" that you want to boot up with additional setting like time to boot up and other, and for poweramp, if you like it to autoplay once it run, just go to poweramp setting --->audio--->audio focus-->select "resume on start". it will auto play once poweramp run.
[Android Head-Units] Contra197101:
I use PowerAmp as well I paid for it some time ago and I use it in this unit also there is a app you can use which will allow you to use your steering wheel controls 4 power amp it is called "head unit" it works great, and it is free

With my back to the rise I'll make my stand
[Android Head-Units] gwroman:
thank you for info I will try it

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slywolf15:
I bought a used Oneplus One recently and it works and looks great. I suppose my only concern is when I took the back cover off there was some white residue on one side along with a bit on the inside of the cover. I'm not sure if this is just residue from the manufacturing process or something but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else who had taken the back cover off seen something similar to put my mind at ease. I have checked the water damage indicator in the headphone jack and it was white so I don't think it's water damage at least. Here is a picture

Isn't that glue?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shankar9822:
This is a white sticker on one of the screws. If the sticker is damaged, then the warranty on the phone is void. Basically, this sticker is used to decide of the phone is meddled or not.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slywolf15:
I don't think so, when looking at it directly, it looks more like a powdery texture.

I don't think it's the warranty sticker to be honest considering you can see the white on the bottom right as well. Is it possible it might have been the back cover somehow rubbing against the housing of the phone? I don't think the person I bought it from used a case so perhaps pressure from his hand could have caused something like that. Think it would be alright cleaning it with alcohol?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F4uzan:
My guide to checking which phone uses more battery than the others :

- CPU cores / threads, how much core does both phone have ? Lesser the core, lesser battery consumption. Add a point for every cores the phone have.

- CPU frequency / clock, does both phone clocks in at the same frequency ? Lesser the frequency, lesser the battery consumption. Add a point per GHz, so 1 GHz is equal as one point.

- GPU clock, does both phone have equal clock / frequency ? Lesser the frequency, lesser the battery consumption. Add a two point if the phone have superior GPU frequency.

- Screen (overall screen size), does both phone have an equal screen size ? Although this doesn't matter much, add a point if the phone have a larger screen.

- Screen, does both phone have an equal resolution ? If so, does the screen have an equal screen size ? If both points are true, smaller the screen and resolution, the lesser the battery consumption. This is one primary factor of battery drain. Add four points if a phone have a resolution more than HD (1280 x 720p), and two points if it's lesser than that.

- Device sensors, does one phone have a sensor and the other don't ? Add a point for every sensor you found, use a sensor detector app to check this.

- Operating system, does one phone have a superior operating system version ? Add a point if a phone have a superior OS version.

Sum all of those value, and compare it. The lesser the value, means the phone is either worse in terms of features, it performs worse than the others, but good thing it has a better battery !

Larger the value means the phone is full of features, and have a powerful pack of hardware, able to push more pixels. This at the cost of battery life.

I understand its pretty much what you pay is what you get but I do not wish to buy an expensive Gear or Apple iWatch right now. Please recommend me a good chinese smart watch? I have gone through Amazon and Gearbest however its my first time into this and I rather buy something with recommendations from you guys.

Basically Im looking for something which is less than $40. I dont care about all the bells or whistles as long as it shows me time, shoes me text messages, has as good battery life and hopefully have face plate changes. Really dont care about making calls, or other sensors, or video or photo recording etc.

[Other SmartWatches] player911:
I have been looking and looking through the fabulous forums about reviews and features. I, too, am looking for a new "toy". I don't wear a watch typically so I it would probably not last, hence why I don't want to spend a lot of money. However I do really have a need to easily dismiss a ton of notifications remotely. I am hoping that I can pick up a cheap one to get my feet wet, get a little experience with what I want and need.

I REALLY like the Galaxy Gear S, with the curved display... but I do not have a Samsung phone/tablet to pair it with. I have been looking for knock off, but have not found one yet. I think something similar to the Gear S is what I am looking for. Something that has a browser, wifi, GPS for maps (I travel a lot), and of course the ability to answer/speakerphone calls and view/dismiss notifications (exchange, gmail, FB Messanger, snapchat, etc.).

I am not looking for a sport watch, but maybe something with a metal band that looks classy. I really liked the Round watches... but I think a lot of screen space is wasted. With the chinese versions, it seems the UI is built around a square display and looks goofy. The Android Wear looks great but I am not sure the capacity of its ability.

I think I would prefer a android device with a good interface. And a decent charger (magnetic/wireless)
