It definitely cancels vibrations. Check out this video. The dash of the car is vibrating like nuts, but the video is buttery smooth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylKufshZ698

What's not clear is whether the actuator is being used to stabilize picture taking. The only thing I've read is that the actuator helps make the auto-focus faster and more accurate for pics. I assume if it were software-only, then the frame would be cropped, and the border would be used to "adjust" the image. I don't think that's the case... could Z5 owners verify?

I believe Timaustin2000 said that SteadyShot doesn't work in 23/20 MP manual mode (please correct me if I'm wrong), which would lead me to believe it is disabled for 23/20 MP SA as well. That would explain why some pics look "smudged" in 23/20 MP.

Any Z5 owner want to comment on how SteadyShot is working for pics?

:confused:
[Xperia Z5 General] TheEndHK:
The video enabled the Intelligent Active Mode for software video stabilization which helps from the actuator but isn't an OIS still because it does cut the FOV. If it is a truely OIS, Sony will advertise it. Actuator isn't any new stuffs. Sony been used such actuator for a long long time in some old DV tape camcorderor small FHD camcorder like TG1(which I had one).

http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20080404/150013/

Apr 4, 2008

As a result, the volume of entire optical system including the actuator is significantly reduced, namely "a 75% reduction from the existing models," according to Osano.

The steadyshot won't actually work for photo bcoz both 23MP/8MP got the same FOV. The actuator is mainly designed for detect the direction and hence, might got a bit helpful for video focusing as well.
[Xperia Z5 General] joe_dude:
Ah yes, you're right. I remember seeing that the FOV is narrower when taking video, hence the "hybrid" stabilization. But it still doesn't clarify what SteadyShot does for pics. I had assumed the actuator system was derived from the Alpha series, which is sensor-based, but it might not be the case. Looking at the block diagram, the actuator sits above the sensor, nor does it use a floating lens of a traditional OIS system.

It looks to me that the actuator is used as a shock/shake suppressor rather than precise lens compensation. Not enough info to go on.
[Xperia Z5 General] TheEndHK:
Sony said they are considering to implement OIS in next year. The actuator comes with the Z5 lens but the Sony TG1 actuator is also located in the optical system. It needs some of shock/sharke suppressor to calculating the direction but if it is an OIS, it actually need a much larger space for the lens or sensor to "move". On my S6, I can see my lens moving on the back, it is a lens-shift based OIS.

Hi,

Just got a G925A. This was a compulsive decision based on my next question:

I know that that the international version (G925F) supports many other languages that do not appear in the AT&T version.

Any way to get those languages? in other words:

1) Is there a way to install a specific language on the device? This would easily solve my problem.

2) Is there a way (and is it safe) to flash the G925F version on this device, with or without gaining root?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jroyalty7:
I believe if you go through keyboard settings there's an option to download more language options
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nadav.kaminsky@gmail.com:

As far as I understood what you want to accomplish, your best bet is greenify. You will keep your apps, but you may choose the ones taht will get stopped. You won´t avoid them of starting with your phone, but you will be able to stop them with a swipe.

In my case, I had nova launcher configured so the swipe up is the shortcut to greenify sleep the apps and lock the screen.

I'm looking for a Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power that charges the Note 5 while it's in host mode. I can't seem to find anything by searching.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] CanMan1:
I've googled it already and couldn't find the answer. Some links:

Basically, different cables are needed for different phones because of the resistance value needed, and a kernel patch may be necessary.

Also, I've asked for someone to confirm that a specific cable will work with the phone.

Next time, Google before you post.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanHelsing091:
Hi.

I can't find answer to this. I know that triangle away delete the number of installed custom roms but does they have any way to check that i had custom roms? I know the issues with samsung and warranty policy so i want to be sure that i can fight back if they refuse to fix my phone because of knox. (overheating) If they do this, this will be my last samsung phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Triangle Away worked when all the S4 had was the flash counter, but it doesn't do anything when it comes to the Knox flag. Once the Knox flag is tripped by installing a custom recovery, it stays tripped. There is no way to reset it. So Samsung has an easy way to check.

If warranty is a concern, there are ways to root that do not trip the flag. However, you're stuck with Touchwiz.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanHelsing091:
Oh i know it (i used to change firmware on old sony ericsson phones). I can lie about the knox since some people get it changed by samsung tools, thats why im asking if they have any other way than knox, like under bootloader. My phone is overheating because of hardware problem, i want to be prepared for service reject (stories about rejecting repair of defective screen etc.).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
They might not even check the flash counter. You can give it a shot. The worst that might happen is that they send it back (Unless they repair it without consulting with you and charge you for it).

My phone also gets pretty hot when playing games and the phone is charging at the same time. It burns my finger if I keep it in one place, literally.

I guess that's how they intended it to work..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=5845045]VanHelsing091[/MENTION]: I misunderstood your question. Sorry about that. As GDReaper points out, they may not even check for a tripped Knox flag. If they don't, there's really no way we know of that they can tell if the device has had a custom ROM flashed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanHelsing091:
[MENTION=6312707]GDReaper[/MENTION]

But mine is getting 50 degrees on main screen, watching photos etc. over 65 while doing anything else, over 70 while charge and using chrome even on locked cpu clocks under 1300mhz.

[MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION]

Thanks. If they refuse to repair my phone on warranty because of knox - that will be a lie (damaging phone by custom rom... sure, without touching OC in kernel tools), so i wanted to be sure if i can lie too about phone history, it happened before triggering knox anyway.

Im hoping for the best and good service, if not then i may start one of those big posts about company vs user. Thanks again.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixon2001:
I'm one of those that hate not having the LED, yes i can root and use custom roms ect to get this to work if i so wish, but I plan on staying on stock Marshmallow for a while until everything sorted properly.

Why is Google so stubborn not to give us a choice if we want to use it or not, ie those that like the active display can turn off the LED, while those of us that want it can use it instead or both at the same time.

Both the 5X & the 6P will have the option to use LED notification & i think but not sure active display, so why not give us that plan on staying with the Nexus 6 the option to.

Seems daft to have the LED built in, then decide with the release of Lollipop to disable it.

Just hoping Google finally see sense one day and bring it back for either 6.0.1 or 6.0.2.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
I think Google has their philosophy, and thinks that users would agree if they only tried it.

For Marshmallow you need to sync up cm-13.0 and start working on it (provided your device has official support)

You need a roomservice.xml file (That will consist of all your device specific files, an example of roomservice for my device can be found here (Make sure to specify proper revisions)
