I suppose it's got to be pretty hard to capture the texture in the photo without a great macro lens, but would you say the feel is better than before? I keep having this bad feeling that the white of the back is going to get really dirty and want to cover it up.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SeriesOfTubes:
With the skin on, the phone has more grip to it (my subjective opinion). I thought the original back felt a bit slippery and wasn't the best quality (previous phone was an HTC One), so adding the skin made the feel better for me.

I'm not sure about dirt. The dbrand site says they use 3M vinyl, which is also used to wrap cars, so I'd assume the vinyl is designed to resist dirt and staining, but that's only a guess.

[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
The z3V camera is disappointing to me. The Sony pixel interpolation software leaves a lot to be desired. A close up of a 20MP photo in sunlight reveals terrible cluster shadows and jaggies. Everyone knows (or should) that a 1/2.3" sensor cannot physically hold 20MP. (More like about 8.2.) Even when the size is set to 8 MP it looks terrible.

I've helped port some Canon P&S cameras on the CHDK forums years back. We got them to do focus and meter bracketing, added manual focusing, intervalometer, manual iso settings, etc, which were not options offered on any pocket camera back then. We also got them to save files uncompressed and untouched by software as .tiff files. The raw files show the true sensor size in the exif data, and allow post processing software of your choice. They come out far superior to what any in-camera software does.

Can someone add the ability to save photos taken by the z3V as .tiff or raw files? Currently I use Camera VF-5 which gives a decent UI and a few manual controls. But there are some manual controls missing -in other words, the z3V doesn't have the hardware to support all of the functions the app can. Seems the only thing this camera has going for it as far as bragging rights is the 20MP capability, and is not even that good.

Well in lollipop there is raw support. Sony needs to add it via a update. Which they are currently asking if users want
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
I've read that Sony is asking that since posting this. But I also read that many many phones are not working with RAW, as in Lollipop uses code that the markets need to release compatible firmware to make use of it?

I just combed through a year long thread of exhausting work done by devs on this and their site got shut down because someone said it was malware.

If you look at his official lollipop at the end of January post.. His first post the opening ones has 2 attachments. He has the z5 camera on his z3v with a much bigger expansion of options for the camera.
[Xperia Z3v General] 1linuxfreak:
If do a Google for "Z5 camera apk" you will find the port and that it is buggy still.
[Xperia Z3v General] AddictedToGlass:
The z5 camera itself doesn't support RAW files. AFAK Sony hasn't implemented it yet.

I personally like the ui of the older camera that's on the z3V. I installed the z5 last week and the ui is awful. Everything that the current z3V camera has worked fine. But no RAW without some writing it in somehow I guess.

I have to assume (hope) that's what GigaSPX is working on.

I believe that, because of the hardware, the z3 camera is capable of producing fantastic RAW files for manual post editing. The in-device software crunches the photo to hell and back.

I just tried to find out how many pixels are on this sensor, and there are indeed 20.3MP. (So my initial post in this thread is all wrong in that regard...).

But the sensor size means the pixels are extremely small and light becomes a real problem.

According to Techspot, The iPhone 6 8MP sensors individual pixels are capable of processing 88% more light than those of the Sony z3 sensor. The iPhone 6 sensor is smaller than the Z3V sensor, but the individual pixel size is much larger.

Sure, when you try to supersize the iPhone photo you'll start to see individual pixels, but when you supersize the Sony picture you see patches of pixels muddled together. Somehow it's even worse.

The ability to capture in DNG will be a refreshing compromise for a limited piece of hardware that is on the higher end of the phone spectrum.
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
I was surprised my other thread was locked out due to it going off topic before I could say something to bring it back to being on topic again. Here was what I wanted to reply to everyone in regards to the assumptions:

I appreciate all your guys support, but I've never once admitted to being a developer. I'm currently a 5th year senior finishing my bachelors in business and busy running part of the family business that's in no way related to development. I'd definitely love to learn but I'd definitely consider later on in the year. For now, I just help out with other users who share their time in making the most use out of the Z3v. :highfive:

Oh and there isn't RAW support since it really is up to Sony to add that on there.

And to [MENTION=2812661]1linuxfreak[/MENTION]:

Although I'm no dev, I've partaken in many trials of Android mods and actually a few customized ROMs from the Z3v from another user. Of those many times, I've had softbricked my phone, and broke a lot of things within my phone, such as calling. It was a frustrating day to figure out what went wrong when I can make calls, but not fully receive calls from important people that day.

As for the Z5 Camera mod made specially to be compatible for the Z3v, I am pushing that time to the end of the month in case there is an official OTA so I can bundle everything together for an easy jump to the official Lollipop. Otherwise if it's another flopped announcement, I will make the zip available.

I'll tell everyone this though, unlocking the bootloader is no easy feat. There were times that it came close, but ultimately hard bricked for Verizon warranty. This person you should thank for making his several attempts and actually got booted from Verizon's insurance is [MENTION=4627864]zachariahpope[/MENTION] .

[Samsung Gear S2] dwallersv:
...works!

This may be something documented somewhere, but I haven't come across it. It may be a "well, of course" sort of thing to some of you, but it wasn't to me.

In short, you can activate/deactivate call forwarding on the phone when connected remotely through wifi or the 3G network. For some reason, I thought you had to have a local BT connection to initiate the requests (dialing sequence), probably because that's how I've always done it.

Well, caught myself away from home without my phone today and thought, I wonder if it works remotely? Isn't any reason it shouldn't. So, I turned on forwarding, and it worked fine. Quite a bit longer wait with the spinning busy indicator on the watch display, but it did indeed invoke the forwarding codes on the phone.

On afterthought, this makes total sense -- that's the most valuable use of this function, of course -- when you've forgotten your phone. Still, it was cool to find that this capability is there, and you don't have to "plan ahead" to forward the phone to your watch.

It ups the value tremendously of the 3G feature.
[Samsung Gear S2] addielthd:
Hey there, I was just wondering approximately how long did you wait for your "spinning busy indicator" to stop spinning and activate the function.

Thanks so much
[Samsung Gear S2] dwallersv:
That threw me for a loop at first too. It's very quick with a BT connection (for obvious reasons).

All I can say is it takes quite a bit longer, and is not consistent. This is likely because the Samsung server that mediates remote connections is involved: Your S2 sends a request to the server via the internet (data), then the server forwards the request to your phone, again over the internet (data).

What I can tell you is that it only shows the "Requested (<time>)" under Turn On if it succeeds and receives a handshake back from the server. So, I don't both watching it any more... I just invoke it, then check in a minute or two to verify the request was received.

I've never had any problems. My only complaint, and it's very mild, is I wish we could select the forwarding mode. Right now, it forwards when no answer or unavailable (phone off or out of range). I'd like to be able to select "Forward all calls" so callers don't have to wait through 6 rings before it comes to me on the S2.

Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

Sure. "fastboot erase userdata" or at worst "fastboot format userdata", as there is something lingering in the user data partition that is confusing both CM13 and TWRP. Either command may take a while so please be patient.

If still having problems, can (register for an XDA account) go to your device section, and click "New Thread" link near the top left corner.

Alright, I got the Shield K1 a few days ago, so far it's an awesome tablet. I upgraded to 6.0 when I first got it, haven't rooted it yet(want to wait a little longer). So last night I decided to transfer some files by USB using a micro usb to otg cable. The flash drive connects fine, but I can only view the files through Androids "explore" option either in Settings/Storage or from the Notification Panel. Viewing the flash drive through a file explorer app shows the flash drive as empty. Is there any other way to go through the flash drive through another app? Also, when the screen times out, the flash drive disconnects, which is really annoying. Any fix for that?

Hi All,

I have the same problem! With K1 and MM, when I attach a USB drive via OTG cable, it is only possibile to browse the drive via the "stock" option (clicking on the notification message or going through Setting/Storage). All file explorers I tried (at least 7-8) simply doesn't recognize the drive as well all the various video players (kodi, mxplayer, etc.). The only exception I found is ES File Manager that recognizes the attached USB but it mounts the drive in some tricky mode since, clicking on a video file, kodi doesn't play it at all and mxplayer crashes in fast forwarding/backwarding :(

I have C6502 on stock 5.02 with 10.6.A.0.454.

The thing is that cell stand by is far high of 37 percent of battery usage as attached.

C6502 won't last a full day, in fact it runs half a day only.

The battery draining started since soon after I changed telecom carrier to new one since this Sunday.

New SIM supports 3G data communication as well as LTE, even though C6502 doesn't support LTE.

I can call, send & receive sms, and access to internet via 3G.

The only problem is battery draining of cell stand by.

Does anyone have any advice or solution on it?

As far as I'm aware there is no easy way to do that. I'm basing this in my experience moving from a iPhone 5S to a Note 4. iTunes really locks everything down.

"transfer iphone to android"

"transfer text messages iphone to android"

Some of it seems like a pain but if you employ some patience, you should get what you want. I didn't see any all in one solutions which doesn't surprise me given Apple's strangle hold on its content. Like the previous poster said, once you get set up on Android, everything is seamlessly backed up in the cloud in a much more open format.
