[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtomicCEO:
I take pictures a lot, and when I navigate my folders to copy pictures off the phone, I've noticed that there is a folder: \sdcard\DCIM\Camera\Alternate, where other versions of pictures I've taken have been dumped into.

I understand what it's trying to do.... it's using some algorithm to determine that I took a bunch of similar photos, and it's choosing the best of them and hiding the rest. I much prefer to manually select which photos to keep, and I want to turn that feature off.

Is it a camera feature? If so, where is the setting for to turn this off?

If it is camera feature, and it can't be disabled... I know there are other camera apps... is it possible to map a different camera app to the camera-open shake? Because I use that a lot.

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] froopie:
This is not strictly an Arduino question, but maybe somebody here knows NFC well enough to help me out? Feel free to link a better forum if this is too off-topic.

For an art installation I detect NFC tags with a cell phone. Since the phone is hidden under a table, the reach has to be a few centimeters.

First I bought a few of these tags and the reach was about 30-40mm, which is good! Technical data: NXP NTAG 213, 13.56MHz, ISO 14 443-2 A, ISO 14 443-3 A, NFC-Forum Typ 2

Then I ordered 100 of these. They arrived today. The reach is under 20mm which is not enough. Technical data: NXP NTAG213 chips, Protocol: ISO 14443 A, Operating frequency: 13.56 MHz, Antenna size: 23mm / 0.91 Inches

Can you see the reason for the difference in reach from the technical data?

If not, is the reach defined in the standard so that I can claim better ones from the seller of my second purchase?

I have a video of me demonstrating the different reach but I am not allowed to post an external URL. :/

[Remix OS for PC] joesnose:
I have downloaded and installed remix os to a usb stick.

My laptop already triple boots ubuntu, windows 10 and android x86.

When I try and boot remix OS from usb it picks up my installed android and tries to use that partition, which ultimately fails.

Anyone know a work around?
[Remix OS for PC] fleflis:
Sory... what?

I didn't understand at all... could you please take some pictures of what's happening when you try to boot up by the USB?
[Remix OS for PC] stiw47:
I think that I understand cause I experienced something similar with two same installation of Arch Linux on same hdd (installation of Arch on one partition cloned to another partition). I think it is mess with same label for devices. If I remember good, label of partition with installed Android x86 is "Android-x86", same as label of your Remix burned USB. Try to unplug your hdd, than boot Remix from usb or try to change label of usb.
[Remix OS for PC] joesnose:
I already have android x86 installed to hard drive.

When I boot the remx os from usb it just tries to boot using the already installed android.

[Remix OS for PC] stiw47:
Did you try to unplug your HDD, and boot from USB? This is useful to determine if you can booting Remix generally. Remix is in alfa stage, and wont running on all hardware. For example: I can running Remix on my wife Acer Aspire something (Intel), by can't running on my Toshiba Satellite L775D (AMD) (so pity :( ).

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timde9:
Well that's an interesting question. I am testing twrp builds from hashbang to try and get encryption fully supported for this device in twrp. Until that time you can actually still flash zips via adb sideload no problem

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timde9:
to install packages via adb is pretty simple really you just open twrp go to advanced menu and open "adb sideload" from there. Then connect your device to your computer install adb and sideload an app with this syntax

"adb sideload ***.zip"

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
Thanks for confirming this. Exactly what I need when time comes to decrypt "wipe" I will use this.

I wasn't sure if it would delete the partition or wipe, this is why I asked.

Ty.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asuhoops8628:
Upon reading this again, just to be safe, you might want to start with just a fastboot erase. I think format does the same thing, but I have never used it.

Since you would be specifying the partition with both commands, I do not think you are in risk of completely blowing up your user partition if you choose to use fastboot format, but once again, I have always just used fastboot erase.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
So I went to use this. I got an error.

Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'

So now, that I am guessing, since twrp can now decrypt, I should just be able to go into twrp and do a full wipe and reinstall of the trupurexmm 2.5 And encryption should be gone?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
Nope. Encryption is still enabled. I flashed trupurexmm 2.5 following

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
This seems to be a grey area. Like we are only two probably interested in encryption while rooted.

I rooted before encrypting, actually I flashed a rom that is prerooted.

Have you tried flashing trupurexmm and then tried encrypting?

Make sure you want to encrypt, because I am having problems wiping /data with fastboot.

Meaning I am stuck with encryption forever.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitti2:
Some info. Someone suggested to restore a twrp backup of the os not encrypted.

Well something got borked while being encrypted.

My encryption no longer worked. Meaning upon bootup, i did not face the type your pw interface right after the unlocked bootloader screen and before the login of the os.

So usually I went through the process of powering up, type pw, android is starting screen, then the official login to get to the home screen.

The first login screen to start android went missing.

I finally had it.

I wiped with fastboot -w

Then restored a backup that was not emcrypted.

TWRP does not pick up an encrypted data. Good news.

Then I bootup the restored unencrypted back.

Soooo, I got a Trial Note 5 to play with, as I have had a Note 3, 4 in the past and other phones like the iPhone. But I also have a LG V10 I am trying too right now. For the life of me, I wanted to like the V10, but I am having a HARD time adjusting to the buttons on the back. It also has a bit of LAG to it where the Note 5 never shows it any more. My Note 4 definitely had lag.

Anyone else use a V10 to try and go back to the Note? I like the replaceable battery and SD Card 200gb.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Derpling:
Note 5 murder the v10 in terms of performance, screen quality and battery, V10 has higher quality audio, more video control micro SD and removable battery, the Note5 also got S Pen- it got many awesome features.

Take the V10 if- you need a phone NOW, it has to be with microSD and removable battery, and don't care about mid heavy 3D game performance, also V10 has locked bootloader and unlikely will be unlocked if G4 is any indication.

Take the Note 5 if- you need a phone NOW, you need the best performance, best screen, camera is slightly better than V10, though V10 has slight advantage in low light shots, you need more function from the phone aka S Pen features., if you care about instant root and unlocked bootloader too.

Wait after Feb 21, as Galaxy S7 and G5 will be announced, the GS7 will have it's micro SD back.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nizmoz15:
I just packed up the V10 to sell again on Swappa. I can't stand it any more. I'll see if I can wait till Feb. 21st. But may just get a Note 5. Any benefits between the Note 5 and S6 Edge plus?
[Galaxy Note5 General] pbedard:

I had a 32gb Note 5 and jumped to the v10 when they had the battery/200gb sd promo! The v10 was fun for a change due to ive had the note 2,3,4 and 5 as my last phones but i love the feel of the note and had yo jump back lol...Im running the MM 6.0 beta on my tmo Note 5 and it flys with zero lag!!!! Cant wait for the official update!!! But hands down the Note 5 is better but the v10 was pretty damn good for what it was!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Derpling:
Well if u fixed on the Note then get it now, it won't likely go down in price, or go down slightly in price as Galaxy and Note series are aimed at different crowd.

Note main feature is the S-Pen, although i don't use it as much but when i do, it's totally helping me to achieve certain tasks, i also like how the Note looks.

S6 Edge plus is just curved from the edges, Android 6 should get it even better, more function would be possible by the edge strips.

All other they have the same SOC, edge might look for appealing but it's up to u.

y u quoting this? i answered before.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Nitemare3219:
I had the Note5 when it released, and went to the V10 when it released. I am going back to the Note5.

The V10 has been a great phone. I can't begin to explain how nice it is to almost never have to plug in to charge - I always swap batteries instead. The camera on the V10 has a bit more fine-tuning, and much better low light potential, but in automatic point/shoot the Note5 seems to win in most camera comparisons. I also very rarely take pictures... even though the V10's camera was a huge selling point for me, I have no real use for it. Note5 will also outperform the V10, obviously. The audio quality on the Note5 certainly isn't poor, and I really don't notice the V10 being better with my $1,500 AKG K812 headphones, or $1,000 Shure SE846 IEMs - they're low impedance, so either phone drives them fine. The nice thing about the Note5 is having the built-in equalizer, whereas the V10 has none. The biggest selling point for the Note5 though, is the screen. OLED cannot be beat by an LCD. I have an LG OLED TV, and tried to buy a Samsung LCD for use elsewhere, but returned it - the quality is garbage compared to OLED. You're looking at the screen the whole time you're really using a phone - why not have the best screen possible? The lack of SD for Samsung kind of sucks because I have the 200GB card from the V10, but even with that, I have not used over 40GB counting internal storage as well, so the 64GB Note5 will be fine for me. I used to really think the S-pen was cool, but barely used that either. But it's still nice to have. I kind of wish the Note5 used on-screen buttons, but having that extra screen real-estate is nice.

Either phone is a great choice. As you can see I'm back and forth on certain points, haha. If the V10 had an OLED screen and better processor, I'd certainly stay with it. Kind of funny how LG dominates the OLED TV market, yet Samsung dominates the OLED phone display market.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kabuk1:
I went from the Note 4 to a v10 mainly for the removable battery & SD. I had it for almost a month before trading it in for a note 5. Don't get me wrong- its a great phone, and at first I really loved it. But after a couple weeks I found myself growing more and more frustrated with it, mainly because of the awkward rear buttons and the bad battery life. The second battery I got from the promo was a necessity cause it simply would not last me the whole day even with battery-saving tweaks and a custom rom. The Samsung home button was still programmed into my muscle memory as well and I kept catching myself poking at the lower edge of the phone to turn it on. It was annoying to not have it there anymore. The fingerprint scanner rarely ever worked and I ended up just disabling it, which really sucked cause it was one of the features that drew me to it in the first place. I never realized how much I used the S-pen until it wasn't there anymore. I missed having hard buttons and found myself hating the stupid screen-shortening soft buttons. It's supposed to have the best camera on the market, but no matter what I did all my shots were either noisy or slightly blurry. I could go on, but you get it.

By the time I finally admitted to myself that there were more things I didn't like about it than things I did, it was too late to just return it and my only option was to do a jump upgrade to another phone. I didn't want to enter into another device payment for another note 4, so I grudgingly got a 64gb note 5 instead fully expecting to hate it, but ended up absolutely loving it. It's fast, I regularly end my days with 40% battery left, and I have full use of my whole screen again. Yes, no SD sucks but it forced me to finally go through all the crap I thought I needed to carry with me everywhere and found I didn't really need 2/3 of it. Got rid of about 25 gigs of music I haven't listened to in years, and rehomed my 128gb card in my tablet. I'm eating a bit of crow after all the crap I talked about the note 5 but I'm very, very happy with this phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Derpling:
I had G4 and while i played with the V10, they not that different, the v10 is better than G4 but not by that much. in fact, G4 is one of the worst phones i ever used, v10 is slightly above it.

If LG could make they own CPU that would rival 7420, unlocked bootloader without any drama and improve their LG UI and software, as i find the new touchwiz far better than lg, then they might tickle the Note 5, but seriously they both aimed at same yet different people, if u want best of the best of all except SD card and removable battery, you take the Note5.

If u mainly care about camera and sd card and battery to swap on the go, you go with V10, oh btw just recently LG recalled a lot of G4 that stuck in a bootloop because the connector inside are not well connected.
[Galaxy Note5 General] JasonJoel:
Funny you mention that... I find the current versions if TouchWiz much better than LG's skin too...

TouchWiz on MM is not that much different than it is on LP in terms of features. Though the beta we have isn't final so who knows exactly what is changed. I do like what I have seen so far in the MM beta though as it is even smoother than LP.
