Hello

I bought my S7 like 3 days ago. Brand new, boxed.

Selfie pics and videos are blurred and much worse than my previous Galaxy A3 (2016) ones. I am sure they ARE, because I have done detailed research and compare S7 vs A3 (2016).

RF Cal: 20180113

HW Rev: MP 0.800

Is anybody here with Oreo update noticed any improvements?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Taken the protective film off the lens?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chetszot:
Yes, of course.

Pictures and recordings are just poor - all I can say. I have 1:1 compares with Galaxy J5 (2017) and no doubt Galaxy J5 is far, far better than S7.

Have anyone tried with Oreo update?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Sell the S7, buy a J5

No issues with mine on any firmware, nice and clear and in-focus, it's on Oreo now and no difference
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chef_of_Sweden:
Its a hardware problem, try to get a replacement from Samsung by sending them your pictures and comparable ones and if the replacement phone does not work, get another one until you get a working one. Thats what I did two years ago and mine is fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chetszot:
Many thanks for your response.

Could you please tell me how many times you had a replacement until a good unit reached you and how long does it take for Samsung to deliver a replacement unit?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shah22:
S7 edge front camera has known blur issues due to fixed infinity focus. You need to take a distance selfie to less the blur. We s7 users really miss autofocus feature on our phones ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chetszot:
I can't really understand, why low-end A3 (2017) had recently autofocus in front cam introduced (in march or april security update) and S7 didn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Same reason the S5 had a MicroSD slot, and the S6 didn't, because Samsung decided to remove a useful feature in order to advertise that feature as a selling point on their next device, same reason supermarkets raise prices so they sell more when they put them back down again a week later, it's called business
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borg17a:
Tip: Front camera is great - Independent from your hardware - if you use GCam!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shiltz:
So I got an S7 edge and I have to send the phone back since it was thru the AT&T next plan, however when I go to do the factory reset thru settings > backup and reset it after clicking thru the dialogs to reset and erase all data it goes to a another dialog that simply says new password on the top with a field and a number pad. I've tried searching online and can't find anyone referencing this, I went and verified the reactivation lock wasn't on thinking that may have had something to do with it but it was off, I was able to do a factory reset just fine shutting down the phone loading into the boot menu and resetting it from there, but the new password dialog was concerning me that something weird was up and I wanted to make sure the phone was good to send back.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GAWVI:
I updated my lumia 830 to 14322 last week, It worked fine until it froze on the lock screen forcing me to hard reset the phone. Once i did the hard reset i wouldn't boot. I have tried flashing it about 5 - 6 times now. Nothing is working!! Microsoft won't help!
[Remix OS for PC] MrJinx123:
I'm really enjoying remix OS, So much so, I seldom use my windows partition at all any more except for one thing. Bootloader updates and firmware installations on my various android devices. (Most Nexus Player android TV boxes)

Remix shipped with adb support and I have been using it to push bulk installs onto my own and customer devices, I would like to perform the firmware updates as well and found remix does not ship with fastboot installed in system/bin. There is a fastboot file but it is for the Intel 915 graphics support libs.

Is there a way I can add it? been looking at a few pre compiled bin packages for linux but can't seem to get any of them to work correctly. can't seem to get the fastboot.bin to be executable.. even with root.

Any help would be appreciated. Asked the remix folks as I am on the beta program but have not gotten an answer.

Thanks!
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
Try the one here: it's seems to show the help page fine. Haven't checked any of the command though;

alternatively you could compile a version from source
[Remix OS for PC] MrJinx123:
Thanks for the lead

Looking around thru XDA , I found a few fastboot packages that should have worked. My device filesystem is RW and root is obviously present. I copy the file and chmod it as executable but still get access denied trying to execute it as root, Most the versions I found expect you to adb copy it into the device, With remix OS, I'm not sure how to to do that since there is no OTG port. If the filesystem is RW, Should I need to use adb to copy the file in? Looking at compiling a copy since the remix install I'm using is x64 on intel and maybe the fastboot executable needs to be for this specific target?
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
Definately at least executes for me; will check tomorrow if it can detect a fastboot device. One from [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239421 also seems to run fine and I think its a different one; some of the others posted are a copy of that first one I posted without giving credit.
[Remix OS for PC] MrJinx123:
Looks like you did point me to the right one.

Since remix OS on a laptop doesn't support an OTG adb transfer... I manually copied adb, adb.bin and fast boot to the system/xbin directory as root.

Then used

chown 0:0 on all 3 files, As found in the included install script (adb shell script)

then chmod +755 (all 3 files) also tried chmod +777

No errors or complaints from the command line..

attempt to execute as user or root, Get permission denied..

"ls" the file shows -rwxrwxrwx root root ?

When I compare against other files in xbin, they all have lrwxrwxrwx. I'm assuming the "l" is a symbolic link pointing to the busybox install.

Am I missing something? that is preventing fastboot from being executable? I don't claim to be a linux expert in any way...
[Remix OS for PC] HypoTurtle:
adb is already installed (/system/bin/adb); other than that I have it as 777 root:root as well, any chance you have forgotten to execute fastboot as root [su]?

Screenshot attached; and just checked if device detected in fastboot and it is.

NB with adb you might have to use adb -s 0123456789ABCDEF reboot bootloader for example as theres an emulator device running on RemixOS.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKilla13:
Hey all..

I had a weird thing happen to me today, my s3 GT-i9300 wont register the sim at all it all started when I flashed 4.3 from 4.0 today I've tried everything possible to get the sim to register. In all honesty, I've become discouraged and would be happy to just get back to stock rom... at least the network was working. lol

Originally I bought this s3 in HONG KONG, the baseband version that I flashed 4.3 is from Kazakhstan.. So I went over to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 and found that TGY (Hong Kong) has 3 firmwares: I9300ZSUBNB1- 4.3- 26.02.2014 and I9300ZSEMK3- 4.1.2- 06.11.2013 and I9300ZSEMC1- 4.1.2- 11.03.2013

Question: Which one do I use? and what would be the steps in fixing this problem?

Heres my info:

IMEIs match on BOTH in status of phone and on the back of the phone

Im currently on 4.3 Android Version

Current Baseband version: I9300xxugna8 [Kazakhstan]

Cell phone carrier: Mobilicity (Which is owned by Rogers)

Thanks for all the patience and help in advance.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKilla13:
Nevermind gents, found the solution. ANDDDDDDD the best part is.. I can stick with the 4.3... [sarcastic YAY]

Solution thanks to the folks at AndroidVeterans
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reb0t:
Maybe the ROM you used is not Stable 100% that's why u faced that problem. So the solution is to back to your stock ROM with the official baseband that it was installed before you upgrade. in my opinion if you flashed a stock ROM with the wrong baseband can make your device unsupportable to the network (even you flashed many ROMs the problem will still exists)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpascal:
Don't panic bro ,international S3 had this problem on updating manually , not for custom roms only for stock 4.3 :cowboy:

The only solution is z3x box , it can be only done using that box :good:

You have to only repair network from it :)

Verizon has always been spotty for me but I stuck with them for years since they are supposed to be the most reliable network. After switching to Google Fi I can say Verizon is just like Apple. They are just selling lies. Between sprint and tmo towers I get solid coverage and can actually use mobile data at my house if I wanted too. So what I'm saying is Verizon is no better. I would go with ATT if you are strictly between the 2.

Hello,

Welcome to XDA.

I am not finding a forum for your device, try posting your issue in the forum linked below.

The experts there may be able to help.

If you cant root the device then you will have to flash the original stock firmware on your device to fix it.

The S4 is running Stang5Litre and the USB port will not connect reliably...it's VERY flaky. I have an insurance replacement and need to return the broken S4 but would like to have it go back stock, so there aren't any questions.

Is there a way to restore from the SD card? I can't find any clear answer on how to do this.

Not 100% but I think flashfire can flash the separate img files

Edit: you need to unzip the tar but it works with the .img files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
was under the impression his phone wasn't booting

but if its booting and he has root he can just flash the odin tar package from flash-fire

just put the .tar on a ext card

select

wipe

add file

flash

make sure 'wipe' stays at the top flashfire will move it if you aren't paying attention

If it fails it will brick but its going back anyway and they aren't gonna look and see why it bricked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
the phone boots fine...it's just the USB port that is wonky. It will not maintain a consistent, reliable connection.

I've got the I545VRUGOF1_I545VZWGOF1_I545VRUGOF1_HOME.tar.md5 file

Are you saying I can put this .tar file on the external card and flash the whole thing with FF? I'm on OF1 and the phone has Stang5Litre's V2 on it, which was flashed with FF. I thought the files had to be zip?

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
as far as I know flashfire should have no problem flashing a factory odin tar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
Solved

This solution worked.

I loaded FlashFire v0.26 and copied the factory .tar file to the SD card. Ensured wipes are first, then enabled wipe cache partitions, flash .tar file, unchecked SuperSu and Ever root, and the whole process only took about 10 minutes.

I now have a clean factory fresh stock install to send back under my warranty.

Thanks to Legitsu for your insight!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chrisnash:
I have had the same issue and had to hard reset yesterday.

Interestingly, about the same time that QuickGPS started to screw up I also noticed that the GPS wouldn't stop running after closing down any GPS apps. Also every time I got a reminder that the QuickGPS data was out of date and wouldnt updated, the GPS fired up and wouldnt stop until I powered down completely.

A lot of battery drain yesterday!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Ruptor:
How to fix the permanent "Connection failed" problem.

I couldn't find a working QuickGPS anywhere, so I've patched my QuickGPS.exe (1.00 Build 615.715) myself:

00000191: F2 04 00 D0 03 -> 00 00 00 00 00 // Disables the digital signature

00004EC3: 0A -> 00 // Disables the annoying .ee check

Now it happily downloads the latest file whatever it's called in the registry and moves it to \Windows\packedEphemeris.ee

No more "Connection failed" error every time after actually downloading everything successfully. You can now use any server that works. Windows will just bring up the digital signature warning once the very first time you run it.

I have no time to sign it and turn it into a .cab file. Can someone package it properly and save a lot of people whose QuickGPS doesn't work?

http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Quick+GPS?t=anon
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nilezon:
Finally I managed to fix the GPS / QuickGPS problems I've had with my Touch Cruise (aka Polaris).

Symptoms (one or many):

QuickGPS always failed (downloaded the file but then the standard error message).

TomTom found the GPS device but couldn't get a clean GPS signal.

The process "device.exe" drained 100% cpu as soon as the GPS was activated, and didn't stop until soft reset.

The usual QuickGPS registry fix didn't help.

Solution:

I exported the entire registry, backed up my data, did a hard reset, exported the registry again, restored my data.

Then I could compare my messed up registry to a clean (and working) one.

It turned out to be the following key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]

By only testing some "External GPS" setting I had obiously messed up the connection to the internal GPS.

To fix it, delete the entire "GPS Intermediate Driver" key (i.e. registry folder), and then import the attached reg-file.

Hope this will save someone else a hard reset.

Hi,

I am trying to run the GPS Sample as provided with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK on my HTC Polaris (XDA Orbit 2) however it does not function, when I start the GPS the device state event fires and that is it.

To try and fix this I followed the instructions in the attached message however now nothing happens, no events are fired at all.

This is very puzzling as the same sample is provided with the WM5 SDK and this functions correctly on my older Orbit (1).

I have tried various combinations of COM ports using the GPS applet via Control Panel however nothing seems to work.

Has any one any ideas about this, maybe something else I can try?

Thanks

Paul Diston

ps. I have just reset the device and when I run the sample now I get the device state changed event firing however nothing else happens.

psps. When I try and set any of the GPS Setting via the Applet in Control Panel, none of these settings are now saved.

pspsps. I realised that the registry was not being imported correctly, this has now been corrected and I am back at my original stand point where when I start GPS on the sample I get the device event firing which presents me with "QualComm GpsOne Card, version 0.0 On, On". The GPS indicator light is flashing however no co-ordinates are being returned.
