[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kish1999:
Hello guys,

This is my first thread, and I want help regarding my Asus Zenfone 2(ze551ml).

My device is rooted and it was rooted by the procedure of opening an Root.bat file. After rooting when I tried to go in the recovery mode by pressing the Lock key+volume up key my phone when into the boot menu, and when I selected to go in recovery mode it restarted back into the boot menu instead of going in recovery mode i.e. wipe data and reboot phone and all.

And due to this problem I can't install any other recovery or install ROMs. If anyone could help me out please reply back or else give me a way of how to install custom recovery without going into recovery mode :crying: :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] Robrecht:
In my experience, the stock camera's HDR+ mode works great for suppressing noise in low-light pics, but doesn't really do much for actual high dynamic range scenes.

In a typical dark foreground/sunny background situation, my (2014) Moto X used to do a great job keeping the highlights from overexposing and bringing up the dark parts of the scene. My 6P, on the other hand, using the stock Google camera with HDR+ active, barely seems to do anything in this respect. Sunny skies are still blown out, faces in the foreground almost black. I'm not looking for an overprocessed HDR "effect", but this seems a little too subtle.

I just want to make sure this isn't a problem specific to my device, so: anyone else seeing the same thing?

Edit -- I tried a couple of dedicated HDR apps from the Play Store but they all say that the 6P lacks exposure mode so they can't do the bracketing needed for true HDR.
[Nexus 6P General] joooe:
I feel the same. Compared to the LG G4 I had before, HDR on 6P barely does anything.
[Nexus 6P General] JeffBea:
Maybe its my old eyes, but I can't noticed a real difference either.
[Nexus 6P General] Robrecht:
Thanks folks. So it isn't just me.

Maybe "HDR" is just a poorly chosen name for this feature. Like I said, for noisy low-light pics it works really well. Just look closely while it's still processing: shortly after it finishes, you can see the noisy version being replaced with much cleaner picture. But apparently it's not optimized for high-contrast scenes.

[Nexus 6P General] Bwyan Benton:
Actually it works really well. Here's why: it saves you from blowing your highlights. It doesn't do much for shadows, however it gives you a very clean image where your able to boost the shadows to your liking and the image remains clean. It stays away from that garbage fake "HDR" look that most apps create.

Also! Proshot does exposure bracketing very well. Here is a screenshot of how to setup the settings for it to work. Use these settings and you'll be fine.
[Nexus 6P General] Robrecht:
Hey, thanks.

What got me doubting was an example in the article where Google introduced the feature, here. In the second example (the landscape with the two girls in the foreground), the difference is quite pronounced. The image on the right, shot with HDR+ on, has a fully defined sky with visible clouds etc.

But I've shot images with HDR+ on that looked a lot more like the blown-out comparison shot on the left, with large highlight zones with no detail captured at all. Could be I was asking too much of it on those occasions, I'm not sure. I'll experiment a little more and try and get some examples.

ProShot is great, thanks for the tip, just bought the full version!
[Nexus 6P General] supertallrich:
Hi, I've been struggling with HDR apps on the 6P thanks to the exposure compensation bug (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=196815) and was hoping your Pro Shot setting might help. When I tried it I got three photos, but two were at the same exposure, while the third was much much brighter. It also doesn't seem to merge them together automatically.
[Nexus 6P General] Bwyan Benton:
Instead of using SPD4 use SPD1.

Also, proshot doesn't merge them for you. You have to do that yourself.
[Nexus 6P General] supertallrich:
Thanks, that did the trick! Good to know about the merging, much appreciated.
[Nexus 6P General] Bwyan Benton:
No problem. Enjoy!
[Nexus 6P General] Chad_Petree:
Noup, you're not the only one I usually have to choose between having blowed out skies or having people underexposed :( ...
[Nexus 6P General] blackwrx02:
I just switched to my 6P from an LG G4. While I liked the HDR on the camera, I feel the 6P produces a better image overall. Much less sharpening/watercolor look to the 6P photos. The LG's started to look like fake watercolors when you view them on anything but the phone, unless the light was absolutely perfect, which it rarely was.

But with that said, HDR seems to be terrible on this phone with the stock app, in my limited experience.
[Nexus 6P General] neo905:
Take a picture inside by a window and you can see the difference with HDR+ on. You can basically see what's outside the window with HDR+ on but the window looks blown out with it off.
[Nexus 6P General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
This... I've written about this before saying that it shouldn't be called HDR+ but instead Low Light+. The HDR effect is minimal compared to the low light noise reduction.

Typically on an iPhone you can get reasonable backlit photos. When I tried to do the same on my Nexus 6p, HDR+ offered little to no improvement. I decided to use my iPhone instead which did a mich better job for actually adding dynamic range.

[Wing, P4350 General] psyop1:
If you're connected to an ISP, you shouldn't be getting a 192.168 address; those are private address spaces. Sounds like you're getting an address from somewhere else (maybe you have your own router/dsl/cablemodem with DHCP and the computer is connected to it?).
[Wing, P4350 General] gbzbz:
that computer has no physical connection at all. RJ45 is unplugged, wireless is turned off. the only connection is the USB. If I fire up a dos command prompt and type "ipconfig" there, I can see the ip is acquired from my isp, coz the hostname is set to xxx.myisp.net. I agree with you that 192.168.0.102 does sound fishy from a big ISP, but I guess other things suggest that ISP operate that way in my case...

As we know Google had started to backup the apps data to google drive when you choose google backup option.

Anyway , This option it was working great with my previous phone (HTC M8) and most of my apps had a backup with its data , even when I bought the new Galaxy S7E I restore my apps and it is restored by its data.

Now when I'm checking the (manage backup) under drive settings to see the apps synced , surprisingly I only found Samsung apps only backed up plus Gmail and Google play store. I can't find any third party apps such as FotMob and Telegram and others?

Is there anybody have this problem?

"Just download a ROM on your PC and place it onto your SD card. Put it into your phone, get into recovery, and flash the ROM.

I have been using TWRP 3 and using 'install' selecting the zip file. The phone is bootloader unlocked, S-ON

That's what I started off and tried before resorting to this thread. One of your roms actually. It all looks really promising. It takes me though the install options but when rebooted hangs in HTC screen. this is why I wondered if I should fastboot boot.img as this is what used to have to do a long time ago when I used to use customs ROMs myself.

Perhaps you could try the app "Wakelock detector free" to see what applications are causing your trouble.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1luX:
It's a common issue that's been present since lollipop...

It's probably Google Play services...

Go in Settings/privacy and search for google framework and play services and block them from starting on boot and autostarting.

Next thing you want to do is of course shut down WiFi/bluetooth/NFC or any other connection (just put it in airplane mode).

Another thing you want to do is downloading the Greenify app from the play store and hibernate EVERYTHING but the messaging apps (otherwise you won't receive any message.)

Then go to field test>Modem settings>PDP setting>0 and sellect fast dormancy off.

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Do this only after you have determined your network does not support fast dormancy. If it does and you disable it you will get more drain.

fast dormancy only applies to 3G. if you're on other G's and not connected to data it won't be doing anything.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaffer94:
U might be right, though i faced this problem myself and i did solve it by disabling fast dormancy. Im never on 3g, constant 4g for me so...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Depends on what your sim settings are. Do you select 2/3/4g ?

In that case if the network signal is weak it will switch to 3g. Now if your 3G network does not support fast dormancy, then disabling it in the hidden menu will help. The problem with hidden menu settings is they dont stick after a reboot. So i suppose you need root to make them permanent.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tilator:
Hi,

I've been reading these messages. Excellent discusssion about this device.

A few questions still remain:

1. Is it really so, that Nvidia sold me 8 core device, but I only got 4 cores because even stock FW does not use but only A57 cores? All four A53 cores stand there for nothing?

2. I have a pro version. FW seems to sit firmly on HDD. I also have 16GB of EMMC but it's just for nothing too. Right?

3. Is it really so, that stage 1 boot is locked behind a secure key so that it's not possible to even advanced user to put FW on EMMC so that HDD remains totally for apps and user files?

4. I suppose that even with limitations listed above it might be possible to make this:

- load bootloader from HDD and make it to load kernel + rootfs from microSD.

If this was possible, it would be easy to change OS by just booting with different SD card. Is there such a bootloader already available? If not, should we expect to have it from Nvidia?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogster2K:
I had not heard that the Shield TV is supposed to have 8 cores.Where did you get that info?

Can't answer 2 + 3 because I don't have a Pro.

There is no method (yet) for multi-booting the Shield TV. If one does get made, it'll probably be in this thread:

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tilator:
About core count I suppose the device has four A57 cores and other four A53 cores but it only uses A57's becase there still are some limtations in kernel.

About multibooting, while you have 16GB version can you make me DD dump from ROM in your device and I'll try it? My device has completely empty ROM because OS is on HDD. I suppose multibooting might be possible or at least I would like to try. I only need 16GB ROM copy.

You can download the ROMs directly from Nvidia at https://developer.nvidia.com/gameworksdownload. (requires registration)
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tilator:
No, I can not. They are partitions. I need whole EMMC copy.

Flashing partition image needs correct partitions to be already on the device. Mine is completely empty EMMC. Flashing a raw DD copy of the whole 16GB ROM makes partitions exactly as they should be. That's what I need to test my idea.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
Here are the answers for you:

1. Is it really so, that Nvidia sold me 8 core device, but I only got 4 cores because even stock FW does not use but only A57 cores? All four A53 cores stand there for nothing?

in short you do have an 8 core processor and all cores are used, just not at the same time.

This is a standard big.LITTLE architecture arm processor. (More info can be found on this at the ARM website)

though it technically is an 8 core processor you should think of it more like (2) 4 core processors.

when more power is needed Android will use the more powerful set of 4 cores.

When less power is needed it will use the lower powered set of cores.

This is basically a way to ensure that you have the maximum amount of processing power when needed but can save battery power when doing small things.

some recent processors set in this configuration do have the ability to kick in all 8 cores when excessive processing power is needed but this is still pretty new and I've heard it can be buggy and not all processors support it.

All this being said since the shield is plugged in all the time it would actually only benefit from just using the more powerful 4 cores exclusively because the power saving cores are weaker but there likely wouldn't be much noticeable difference either way.

2. I have a pro version. FW seems to sit firmly on HDD. I also have 16GB of EMMC but it's just for nothing too. Right?

The pro version has 8GB of EMMC

This is used as a buffer between the hard drive and the ram.

The hard drive in this device is a slower mechanical drive so if everything is stored directly on it then you would see some definite performance differences compared to the 16GB which works completely from EMMC

to get around this they put the 8GB EMMC chip in the middle, it tries to be smart and loads things to the EMMC before you need them so that when the system calls the data to the ram it generally will pull it from the EMMC which is much faster.

That being said some users report some hiccups that they dont see on the 16GB model and my theory is that occasionally when you run something it diddnt load from the EMMC it likely reads it straight from the hard disk which is much slower causing a brief stutter.

3. Is it really so, that stage 1 boot is locked behind a secure key so that it's not possible to even advanced user to put FW on EMMC so that HDD remains totally for apps and user files?

Unfortunately I am unsure weather the boot area is on the hard disk or the EMMC, it would make the most sense to put it on the EMMC but I cant confirm either way unfortunately.

though if you do find that it is on the EMMC it would be much faster to leave it there vs moving it to an SD card.

4. I suppose that even with limitations listed above it might be possible to make this:

- load bootloader from HDD and make it to load kernel + rootfs from microSD.

unfortunately I'm not sure if this one is possible
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mogster2K:
I could try, but it's likely to be a gigabyte or so. I only have a 1 Mb/s upload so it could take days.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tilator:
Well, it's better consume some time than not doing this at all.

Do you have means to do it? Booting it in Ubuntu seems to allow fulla access to the EMMC but you need some device to put the copy too.

Also, I'm not sure what the big deal is with only having 4 cores active. It's the same as the Snapdragon 810 or any other 8-core mobile CPU - the low and high-power CPUs are paired, and only 1 can run at a time.
