[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Depends how you define better picture. in low light the slowest shutter will be 1/9. is this the best picture at that light ? no. A slower shutter with a lower ISO will get a cleaner shot and will display more. But to use a shutter slower than 1/9 requires you to stabilise the camera some how.

a tripod is one way if you use slow shutters that run into seconds. The G4 can go up to 30 seconds. But to improve over auto's 1/9 a 2 second will improve things noticeably.

on the other side you sometimes want a faster shutter to freeze motion. A slower shutter creates blur and auto might not pick a fast enough shutter. The camera has no idea what you are taking a photo of just a rough guess. If the light isn't enough you will have to pick a higher iso to compensate. If its in daylight then only a faster shutter that might be in the thousandths of a second is required.

other times you want to fix the focus or auto focus won't manage it, this is where manual focus comes into it.

white balance determines the colour, auto white balance does a good enough job but at times can get it wrong, if it looks too cold for your liking a warmer white balance will add yellow. If it looks too warm a colder setting will add blue.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
A simple tip is to tap on the screen on your subject before shooting. It will focus there, and it will also set the exposure based on that area. Making your subject sharp, and properly exposed.

But it only holds those settings for maybe 2 seconds, so take the picture quickly after you tap on the screen. Wait too long, and it goes back to assuming you want the center of the frame.

I do this even if my subject is in the middle, as I prefer to let it finish focusing before taking the picture. If it focuses wrong, I may notice it on the screen before shooting.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radogost:
Hello fellas,

I had few problems with my Moto G. I was on official Moto lolipop.

I've unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, flashed SlimRom from dev thread, but it was hard to boot (bootlooping after phone restart, I was forced to turn down, and then turn on the phone, and sometimes it was booting) and I wanted to flash other rom, without ,,hard boot" problem.

And there is how I bricked my phone.

When I tried to wipe data in TWRP (factory/cache wipe) my phone reboots suddenly. It didn't wipe anything. It just reboot my system. I tried many times - always ending with reboot.

So, I tried to flash AICP rom without wiping anything. I installed it, and I had ,,android.acore has stopped working" error. Phone was rebooting often.

I tried to wipe my data again, without succeed. It was rebooting, and I've seen all my apps I had installed before.

I though it was TWRP fault, so I flashed CM recovery. Same thing occured. Next, I flashed CWM recovery. Same situation (reboot after choosing wipe).

So, I deleted my userdata and cache from fastboot, and tried this to solve my problems :

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/how-to-to-stock-5-0-2-motorola-lollipop-t3077806

Unfortunetly, it didn't helped me. Now I have one big bootloop.

What to do? Help me, please.

Thank you for your time!

I think I know whats happening. I have deleted my partition accidentally... I have Internal storage 0MB free, and mount errors... Is there a way to fix that, or I am screwed? :(

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] [NUMINIT]:
This post over at the recovery/kernel dev thread seems to suggest that locked bootloader root and recovery might actually be impossible to achieve on the Z3+, so I've started to consider unlocking, having previously been adamant about not doing it. Losing the DRM keys is what prevents me, though.

Does anyone have a full list of lost features that go with the keys? I'm aware of some camera stuff, the Bravia engine, and noise cancellation.

Also, some users have reported at least partial restoration of DRM functions (not keys!) on previous Z devices, is that/will that be possible on the 3+?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] AMoosa:
+1 . I am in the same boat as op!

Sent from my Xperia Z3+
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Yapperzitata:
What features are lost? Anyone?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] hasona:
For me its not worth it

Some potential problems are as follows:

Bravia engine stuff and all that

Camera software is degraded especially low-light(can't confirm if this was changed with the z3+)

Sound EQ thingies and NC stops working

Drm Keys

Updates and stuff are not accepted anymore(OTA, PCC)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] monx®:
not worth it. additional to hasona's post :

-Xperia Lounge feature (eg: free movie)

- Screen mirroring

etc.

Currently i can live without root.

Adguard, Helium, will do the necessary needs atm.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] [NUMINIT]:
And Sony is "committed to the openness of Android" or somesuch. I didn't know purposeful limiting counts as being committed.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] flakac:
Currently I can live without root too, only thing I'm missing being not rooted is that I can't edit mixerpath to make my headphones louder,but still can live without that (but it would be cool to have it :) )
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] chesterr:
Everything is impossible? says who? this will take time at least 9-10 months or 1 year to achieve root. Awesome devs at XDA always come with new exploits. :d

Don't unlock till then.

I have no issue with loosing that functionality to gain root..

If blocked updates are an issue, you can just flash newest ftf to get back to unrooted.. but right now, there is no way to get DRM back.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] serrin:
Personally I bought this phone for the express purpose of rooting it so I just assumed I'd loose the DRM keys from day 1.

I think you've gotten Sony's intentions wrong mate. At least there's the option of unlocking the bootloader, albeit by loosing some phone functions. Most other companies they'd lock the bootloader away forever if unlocking meant compromising on proprietary software, or unlock their bootloader and not develop any customised functions as they'd be compromised if the bootloader got unlocked. At least Sony have a way for us to unlock the bootloader and also keep their IP safe. It's a compromise, and one that I'm happy to take.

Sony are one of the few companies that release their source code for their phones to the public. As far as I'm aware, the only other manufacturers only do so when they make a Nexus device and Google force them.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] [NUMINIT]:
You're right, I worded that more harshly than necessary. I was just so pissed that I bought an expensive phone I can't fully own without losing functions I paid for.

I do think it's silly to protect their software like this, though. Who would risk a massive lawsuit by stealing the IP that gets blocked with unlocking the BL?

Anyway, since you've unlocked, have you personally noticed much difference in everyday use?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Pawka.lt:
Not worth.

My Z3+ wen crazy after some updates from Google (I think just after time when Google changed their logo). I was getting ~40-60 alerts "Google Services can't start" just after reboot. And they were jumping from time to time all the time. My phone was unable to reach google services so it was impossible to retrieve any updates, impossible to install or remove anything. This means impossible backup SMS/Call logs too (I didn't have any apps installed). Yeah I had Sony Xperia Transfer app, but this app will not let you transfer data to any other phone except SONY. Thank you SONY.

Decided perform factory reset. BUT, factory reset button from menu didn't worked. It simply did nothing. Was thinking bring phone to service, but then I need remove my mail accounts (I'm keeping job data there and I probably would be fired and get some 5-number-USD fine if I'd disclosure that info). Removing accounts didn't worked too.

Tried perform factory reset via adb, but no success. Decided boot into boot loader as in my good old nexus 4 and perform factory reset from there. Found some link on web that SONY gives you unlock code gently and you can do that yourself. What could be better, I thought?! :) Yeah, I've rebooted my phone, reset it and was happy again.

But after few days I've noticed that when I try zoom with my camera just a little, it simply freezes or performs 1 frame / 3-5 seconds. If I try record something - similar **** is happening. Quality is terrible too comparing what I had before. And then I found out about DRM... :(

So now I have one of top expensive phones with one of worst cameras.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] serrin:
Well people port google apps all the time. Granted, no one's been sued yet, but there is a real likelihood that people are going to try it.

I don't think Sony are that worried about joe blow modder, but one of two things:

1) As part of their contract with the third party who they've leased the license from requires them to secure it (which may mean locking the bootloader)

2) Samsung or some other manufacturer would steal their code.

I'm just speculating, but Sony aren't making life difficult for everybody (and themselves) just for ****s and giggles.

I haven't noticed much difference, but then i didn't spend much time with it unlocked. I doubt loosing the drm keys will make the camera laggy.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] cjm1979:
Would it not be possible to just use a different camera app or will that be the same?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] [NUMINIT]:
The camera is laggy as hell as per 5.0.2 anyway, so that's not an issue. I'm more worried about low-light shots. Unlocking absolutely ruined then on my Yuga.

Plus there are things such as the Bravia engine and noise cancellation which I really like

Is anyone willing to test this one on his UB?

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] serrin:
You can use a different camera app, but the Sony magic mojo (noise filter etc) is only found in the stock app. That is to say unlocking the bootloader nerfs the stock camera app, the camera hardware itself is untouched.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] steveeJ:
So if we had a camera app that does equivalent post-processing Sony's apps we would not lose any picture quality? Does this also mean that any 3rd party app that accesses the camera does not take advantage of any DRM-licensed functionality, and they will work exactly the same way after unlocking the BL?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] silent_simmal:
So I use 'A Better Camera' for taking pictures, as the stock app overheates the device incredibly fast. But if the stock sony camera app is working it's much faster than a third party app. But this is is only my own opinion, don't know, if that's always the case and if this depends somehow on the DRM key stuff. (Locked BL, using the 28.0.A.7.24 FW)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] steveeJ:
What about picture quality of 'A Better Camera' vs stock?

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] [NUMINIT]:

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] the_brad:
And the DRM related stuff? As far as I understand, there isn't a big difference between the files used in the DRM function restore pack and the z5 transformation image enhancement. But it was said, that DRM functions won't work on phones, which hadn't had a have kitkat ROM in the past.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] shoey63:
Doesn't unlocking bootloader void warranty?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] mansonitefirefox:

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] steveeJ:
Audio or camera? And how have you confirmed?

Sounds like good news no matter what.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] mansonitefirefox:
Sorry, active noise cancellation through the headphones.

Plugged in the 5 pole Sony headphones with active noise cancelling, no problems, can turn them on and off with the phone software switch and the difference is night and day and I have an unlocked bootloader, so that is something.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] sinbrad:
As far as I can see no matter what camera app you use, stock or otherwise the focus on the camera no longer works for close up shots. Looks like its the same for video shots at close range. Low light conditions at close range are also not working. If you take a normal photo they seem to come out fine?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Toxhax:
Honestly, I can hardly tell the difference. I can, but it's really negligible.

After I unlocked, while still running stock rom, I wasn't even sure I had unlocked properly because I didn't notice any negative effects I'd expected.

I was very concerned about this initially, as I didn't want to degrade the performance of my new $500+ phone, but in reality, if you have any real reason for unlocking your bootloader, the benefits probably outweigh what you will lose.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Hi everybody, i have a good news: someone made a TWRP recovery for Blade Apex2 and i'm going to tell you how to have it.

First of all we need to download the TWRP.img (link below)

Put the TWRP.img in the sdcard directly.

We need also Flasify (play store link below)

Now open Flashify and grant root access. Then tap on "Recovery image" and after on "Choose a file", so choose the twrp.img. and tap on "YUP".

After that it ask to reboot and you do.

The phone boot into recovery (don't worry), reboot it in system and Enjoy it!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom/pat:
I have a Verizon Samsung galaxy s5 that will not stay connected to my 2015 Toyota prius. It connects once or twice and then it drops and loses Bluetooth although contacts are still there. Toyota says it's the phone because they tried other phones and they work. Verizon and Samsung say it's the updates on the car. Help!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
It's always fun when companies blame each other instead of trying to find the problem. Have you asked Toyota if they have any bluetooth firmware updates they can update your car with? Or maybe even downgrade? Another thing to try is connect your phone to another bluetooth enabled device or someone else's car and test it. Narrow it down as much as possible. If it works on other cars and not yours, then I'd be heading back to Toyota.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tom/pat:
samsungs5/toyota prius

We went back to Verizon and talked to someone there who actually has a Samsung galaxy s5 like mine. He does not have a prius but everytime he starts his car he has to go into his phone, click on Bluetooth and then tap on car multimedia under paired devices. By the time we got home we were exhausted and so stressed we didn't try it again and again to see if it was dropping. Toyota told my husband we need 5.1 update. Verizon told us it's not available yet through them. Our daughter has a Samsung s4 with 5.0.1 and it seems to work for her on our car. We are just so frustrated with the whole situation. Shame on Toyota for putting the car out there, saying the phone is compatible with the car and yet it isn't. Shame on Samsung for not making the 5.1 available. I feel like saying I'm done and yet I paid for a brand new car with hands free Bluetooth that nobody can get to work for us. I'm pretty close to putting all this on facebook for Toyota, Verizon and Samsung. Someone needs to step up to the place and fix this problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldeveraux:
I have an S5 with kitkat and it connects perfectly to my 2012 Highlander. I don't have entune, so maybe that's what's throwing it off. Does your car (I assume because it's a '15) have the entune stereo system?

And not for nothing, but you can complain on facebook all day, and it won't make a difference:

1) Every company, especially Toyota, caters to the iPhone, not Android. There are loads of problems that they couldn't care less about fixing for that reason

2) It's probably working for >99% of the customers, so they will do nothing to help you. Clearly they blamed the phone, Samsung will blame Toyota. It's a cycle you can't get out of.

Do I need any custom kernel or something ? what am I missing here ? really appreciate any help...

P.S: instead of using Bootloader Changer 2.2. I directly flashed KK bootstack using TWRP. go to Navx's thread and go to "Simple Bootstacks" links and choose F320k (your variant) and flash it directly with TWRP.
