[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] exxi:
I updated to the I touch thing and now I have a English rom on a german hard keyboard the Z and the Y are in different places and that confuses me. I am fine with the english language I just want it set up so it matches my hard keyboad. I tried the language and region settings but its still inverted.

Any way to fix that?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erfanyousefifar:
hi,

there are some camera mods for xperia z1.

I use camerazadas and I think its awesome,(on mxrom v 8)

there are some other mods but I don't think they are really working, just scum... if you are skilled I want to know which one isn't.

we have cyberian mod, but It's effect is not good enough. I'm even not sure that this one isn't an stolen work

there is a persian website with some camera mods.

the web site is xperian

first mod name is pexocam :

download link

the developer claimed that he fully deleted xperia color engine and he uses livecolor engine! and he added wide focus to z1!

second one is sonyplus mod!!! they say it has an special engine named sonyplus for image processing. developers are the same with cyberian.

and here is the result in iso:3200 and 8 mega pixel resolution

the comparison link

and he make money out of this mod!!

thank you for your time
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EQ2000:
Cyberian camera is a mix of other modders mods but no credit is given and they use false labeling for some functions in menu. Looking at files and comparing them the Pexocam one looks much like original 4k/Timeshift mod, original Z5 Camera Lib Mod and a modified Camera 2.0. Whatever the changes it is tied to the Camera 2.0. The comparision picture looks like auto WB vs incandescent WB setting. Smells like bad rice as Cyberian camera with wild claims of what it can do. Though some brave soul might try installing it.

Remember though that all these system files have wide system access. For example camera apk has access to sms system and much more.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erfanyousefifar:
the comparison image is for a mod called sony plus!! developed by cyberian developer, and he sells it, he says that he created a image processing engine named sony plus!!!!!!

this mod price is about 2 dollars, I don't know for a mod is it much or not? by the way, thank you for clarifying and the security issue,

Been searching for a while now and just wanted to see if anyone knew of or would be interested in making something like this.

With maybe a battery indicator as well.

The 12 at the top design is super elegant and (depending on your geographic location) mimics the suns trajectory across the sky.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
very interesting. i'm not expert, but willing to give it a shot in GWD. battery indicator at top just under orange line for 12 o'clock? digital battery %, or some kind of graphic (circle)?
[Samsung Gear S2] ashayden:
Thanks. Maybe battery text without % sign in place of the botta logo?
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
Ok I'm in for the challenge. Gimme a day or two. Unless someone beats me to the punch.
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
Done.

I'm actually running it on my S2 3g now. Pretty ok if you like minimalist.

Can you install a .tpk file, or should I post it to the Gear Store? It takes Sammy a few days to approve, then you can download.
[Samsung Gear S2] ashayden:
Amazing. Can't wait to try it out.

My watch is actually arriving today, so I haven't played with it at all yet... still reading and learning but I am sure it won't take me long to figure out.

Whichever is easier for you man. Thanks again. Glad you like it.
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
I'll push it out to the Gear Store. Check there in a few days. Search for Botto
[Samsung Gear S2] ashayden:
Finally got it from the store. Looks great man, I'm running it now and loving it.

Thanks again.

Moto G XT1068 stuck in "Warning bootloader unlocked" screen! Need help! Please.

Hello community, how are you? Well, my Moto G XT1068 is stuck in the screen "Warning bootloader unlocked" and I do not know how to retrieve it. I tried already reinstall the original firmware but nothing! During the installation process no error is shown but the system does not restart any of foma. I tried to install TWRP for installing a custom ROM and also did not work.

I've read all the other posts on this problem are the forum and have not found a solution.

The problem seems to be this: apparently the installation via fastboot works, however, to reset the machine the problem persists.

Someone please kindly help me? Thankful already!:(

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
Hi, I'm seriously considering buying the G5 since it has FM radio, fast charge 3.0 and of course a removable battery but my #1 concern in buying a phone is the brightness since I'm using my phone a lot outside and I wouldn't even consider to buy a phone with an average brightness like the G4 or the nexus 6p.

I have the gs5 and the problem is that in order to see something outside I have to put the brightness all the way up and that's pretty much killed my phone since I have a disgusting burn in all over the screen where the keyboard and the status bar are so Amoled is a big issue for me since it's basically always on maximum brightness which basically kills the display very fast (I could see burn in after 2 months from buying the device!).

So my question is how bright is the display on the G5? Also does the fact that it has the S820 means that there will be a lot of custom roms and development like in the Samsung Galaxy series?

Thanks :)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jan george:
Double of LG G4
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] rivera02:
The phone hasn't been released or properly reviewed yet, but I've seen at least one early hands on mention that the screen was insanely bright. This would definitely be an improvement over their previous screens if true.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
The G5 at %50 should be almost as bright as the G4 at %100, which is quite bright. I like a bright screen and keep my G4 at %80.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
thanks for the answers but is there an actual test that shows how much Nits this phone gets when it's on maximum brightness? basically my fear is that i will buy this phone and it will be bad in outside usage because of the screen or that the phone will die after a year of usage.

i know that LG is a bad company and their products are trash but do you think they changed things with the G5? is it safe to buy in your opinion?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Hi-TechUp:
It's safe since the G2 :)

On the German LG Site you can find these Information: 1.440 x 2.560 Pixel (Quad HD), 554 ppi, 800 Nit, Gorilla Glass 4, GPU Adreno 530

I think it's more than enough. :cyclops:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
Oh wow 800 nits seems too good to be true I hope it's real ☺️
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
I've read it's closer to 900 nits. Either way, it should be plenty bright.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
Lol I think they should also include a spare motherboard in the box just in case ;)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Biker1:
I found this, which looks pretty good:

http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g5-vs-lg-g4-674756

"Covering the proximity sensor will shut the screen off entirely, saving power when the phone is in your pocket, and nudging it will make the Always-On display slightly brighter. Speaking of brightness, on paper the LG G5 almost doubles the G4’s maximum brightness of 455 nits, pumping out 900 nits at max brightness, although in our experience they looked very similar. The LG G5 had more stable viewing angles than the G4 though. In terms of pixel density, the G5 crams 554 pixels per inch (ppi) into its slightly smaller display compared to the G4’s 534 ppi."
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
So it's 900 nits on paper but the same as G4 if you put them side by side? Something is wrong here
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] iMaterial:
And the lowest possible brightness is? How dark can the screen go? :D
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Brady0123:
I very much look forward:fingers-crossed:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] uberjon:
Off.. :p
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
on my S5 the lowest brightness is very very low and that's so great when i'm using it at night but i'm not expecting it to happen on LCD since Amoled is a much more superior technology.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
I wouldn't say AMOLED is more superior. It has more saturated colors, better blacks, and uses less power when dark colors are displayed.

LED/IPS tends to have more natural colors, better whites, is sharper, and best of all, no burn in.

It's subjective.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
Yes but eventually all manufacturers will move to Amoled displays and will ditch LCD.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Dr Zeuss:
Nice!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
And that saddens me. AMOLED shouldn't be as highly praised as it is when it has a major flaw, such as burn in.

I know there are many who claim they use their AMOLED screen a ton and have never had burn in but I just think they aren't looking close enough. Tons have admitted to faint burn in, at the least, within six months and that is unacceptable to me for a $600+ device.

I wish manufacturers let you choose which kind of screen you wanted, similar to a Motomaker type of thing.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
well to be honest my Nexus 7 2013 had LCD and one time it freeze and became really really hot and after i restarted it the tablet had something similar to a burn in with Amoled and it was permanent, i guess LCD doesn't like heat.

my moto 360 also has LCD display and 6 months ago i hit it against the wall and since then i also have a permanent mark on my moto 360 display, i guess the LCD got damaged from the inside.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] someone261:
wow i just saw that GSMArena released their measurments and that the screen brightness shown there is basically t-r-a-s-h!

what the hell is that? 306 Nits at full brightness? 378 at auto brightness? i hope it's just a really bad joke since i'm not even considering buying this ****ty device if this is true.

edit: i just noticed that it says there that it's a pre-production unit so i hope that the real finalized unit won't be as bad in terms of brightness as this one.

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g5-review-1416p3.php#dt
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
Yeah, I hope thats a pre-production issue seeing as how that is less than the G4 and far less than the 900 we were promised.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] DoKaTSuYa:

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Add45:
there's 0 chance that both were at full brightness in that clip
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] DoKaTSuYa:
You can see it's full brightness for the G5.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] E3SEL:
I've seen a couple of G5s. One from an LG rep (pre-production unit), and one in-store and the screen was no brighter than my G4. I would go as far to say that my G4 was brighter than the one the rep showed me, but I haven't compared my G4 to the in-store G5. I would not trust GSMArena's results as they claim the G3 has a bright screen, which we all know isn't true.

I do hope that the final G5 has a display as bright as LG have claimed.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Add45:
Nevermind didn't rewind enough...:(
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
Releasing a phone that uses the same screen technology as it's predecessor but somehow turns out worse is ridiculous. I'd be perfectly fine if it was on par with the G4 but any worse and that's just asinine.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ishould:
I've had my Note II since the day it came out and I've never had an issue with screen burn in. Is there a way you can objectively determine it?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
They have apps you can download that will cycle through various full screen colors. You can check for burn in and/or color discrepancies with one of those. Usually noticeable on greyish colors.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Shaun77:
Remember guys, In that video he is viewing the phone at an angle. IPS displays and LCDs in general dim when they are viewed from an angle. Also i think the g5 boosts the brightness up when in sunlight as on LGs site it claims daylight mode and shows 800 nits. I myself have viewed the screen in an 02 store in the UK and can vouch that the screen isnt dim at all and was brighter on 60% than my s6 edge was at 80%. Stop worrying and only moan when you actually have one :p
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] hijewpositive:
Just got my G5 today, and the display is definitely noticeably dim. Such a disappointment. Added a picture of the difference at full brightness compared to my Moto X Pure.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
That looks dimmer than the G4. Truly sad. I bet they did that to save on battery, since they made the brilliant choice to go smaller.

I have owned this for 2 weeks now...Display is totally readable in bright sunlight. Phone does indeed have a *boost* feature similar to s7/edge (shine a torch onto the sensor and it gets veeeery bright)....side by side with my s7 edge in daylight....the edge is slightly more bright (whites) but there aint much in it.... I ditched my nexus 6p because it was truly godawful in daylight (but just about perfect in every other way). I wanted a phone that I could see outdoors that was also nice to hold (sorry s7 edge)...the LG G5 ticks all the boxes. Also...Side by side with the camera...g5 is a clear winner......s7 edge loses again....

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Carrie625:
Screen is too dark when outside

So far I like the phone. However, when I am outside, the screen is far too dark to see anything. I have my brightness turned up all the way to 100% yet I still am having a hard time seeing anything when outside. Another thing that I noticed is that the screen will dim itself. I do not have it set to them or turn off or anything. I have gone through every single setting possible to make sure I have not set something for it to automatically dim. I want my screen at 100% brightness all the time and yet it's not staying that way.

I just received my RS998 from amazon yesterday and love it, way better than the ATT model, no bloatware, and when I have my on Auto brightness, I can walk from inside to the outside and it gets very bright and I can see mine perfectly fine outside, nice and bright.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Bastienhere:
maybe you have a defect? try Auto Brightness instead of 100%. It will enable Daylight mode. If your phone isn't hot, and you're in direct sunlight, it should push the brightness over the regular 100%
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jinkerz9430:
You cannot possibly compare an IPS screen with an AMOLED screen. We all know the pros and cons between each of them. We know that AMOLED screen will be brighter than IPS. But we also know that one simple mistake can cost you your AMOLED screen (burn in image forever). I have an S5 and im considering to buy the G5 soon enough. i wouldn't mind sacrificing the pure black the AMOLED screen can offer, sure, the brightness of the LG G5 will be less than AMOLED screens. My samsung galaxy s5 has burn in image, and ever flaghship with AMOLED screen i have had, has developed burn in image even if its mild. So,... Every phone has pros and cons, YET. The day Samsung and any other device fix this issue, then i will go back to them. But right now, i rather sacrificing the brightness and the pure black of the screen rather than the overall look (Heck you can even call it performance) of the screen after you commit that mistake.and even if you dont, you will still develop it. If you have your notification bar always on and after a couple of months have passed, try looking for a completely white image in google and put it in full screen mode. Chances are that you will see 2 types of white: one tanned, and one that is supposed to be the normal white.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Anyone having difficulty seeing their G5 in direct sunlight has a faulty device. I can see my screen fine in 75% brightness in summer sunshine, 100% is absolutely great. I've never seen it bump up brightness like my old S6 but it's much easier to see than my old S6 which was almost unreadable outdoors.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] 1979Sentinel:
Could it also have to do with the standard screen protector causing bad reflections in direct sunlight?

I am also wondering how will a anti glare protector perform at home? Can anybody tell me?

Otherwise I would fancy a different case with anti glare in it for walking outside ?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] lks72:
Hi, i have the possibility to test two different g5 samples and i don't know which one to choose because one of them has normally a brighter and cool white than the other, but sometimes on direght light the second one almost seems like the brighter one.. To explain better the brighter one on white screens like settings menu or google seems almost like a samsung.. On the other hand the not so bright one is better on black and backlight bleed.. I've also supposed of a misfunction of the daylight mode, i've tried with a lamp and also with the flash torch of phones to test daylight option and in the brighter one it seems to work, phone isn't at maximum brightness, at 100 pct brightness, no auto mode, with torch on sensor it has increased brightness but only for a second or less.. The not so brighter one instead on same test hasn't "flashed" brightness but it has increased brightness almost like the other one or a little bit better but with a little yellowish tone... Have you found same matching different samples? How can i test displays to verify if there some issues.. ? Mi will is to return one of them and keep the other and i wish to keep the better one... Oh i forgot to say that both of the has the factory screen protector on.. It has t be transparent, i hope...
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ruffy91:
So a colleague of mine has a G5 and the display seems very dim.

I found a review which claims the display has a maximum brightness of 816 nits in direct sunlight and another review which claims 378 nits

816 nits:

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/LG-G5-Review_id4181

378 nits:

http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g5-review-1416p3.php

Which one is correct?

The G5 I saw is darker than my Mate 7, so the 386 nits one seems to be correct.

Is there a special outdoor variant which has the brighter display, or was it only on review unit where the brighter display was used?

I'm very confused by this.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Killua96:
It's a software issue, the 816 nits value is correct but the phone reach it only in auto-brightness.

Unfortunately first firmwares have a problem regarding the Light sensor, but it was solved in latest firmwares.

If the problem persist then it may be an hardware issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] megalow:
I have been using a few days with lockscreen fingerprints, however today it just suddenly disappeared. I think it could have something to do with the oculus gear vr as I was playing with it earlier. Now when i press the home button it just jumps straight into the homescreen with no fingerprint security even though I checked that it is already turned on. I tried restarting the phone and still the lockscreen barrier is no longer there. Anyone experience this bug or know whats wrong with it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] blackangst:
Are you sure you havent enabled SMART Lock? It essentially doesnt require fingerprint when in a designated "safe" area. It does have to be manually set up, but I remember after several times at home it asked if I want to designate this as a safe spot and not require fingerprint while here.

You can check at settings-->Lock Screen and Security-->Secure Lock settings-->Smart Lock to see your settings
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunalmalviya:
Just received my mate 8 L29 64GB model last evening. Its a super good looking phone but have few questions.

- When I turned it on, it immediately went to home screen without going through any setup. . Is that normal?

- My model is NXT-L29 which I assumed was international but had the chinese language when I first powered on the phone. Is my phone a chinese version?

- My current firmware version is NXT-L29C636B103 and every time I check for update it says no update available. Do I just need to wait for Huawei to push the update? I am not sure how many updates are there after B103

- How do I check screen on time? There is no option to check screen on time in battery manager.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bricky23:
No L10 is Chinese version. B170 is what mine is on. It down loaded the update right after I turned it on the first time. I think you need wifi on for that. It shouldn't go straight to home screen. I would do a factory reset. Not sure about screen on time.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunalmalviya:
Thanks. I am on wifi and even tried checking the updates manually but no luck. I think I will just wait.

Since it went directly to home screen the first time it makes me think the device was switched on before :(
