Hello.

I have a samsung SM-G355HN (single sim).

I tried to install PAC-MAN rom and it was good.

The only problem is that I have IMEI null.

Exactly I made all this steps:

1- installed TWRP 3.0.0-0 using Donwload mode and Odin with file "recovery.tar.md5"

2- In recovery mode I made wipe advanced of DATA, DALVICK_CACHE, CACHE

3- Install pac-man ROM (zip file in externalSD) --> installation ok

4- Indication of 2 SIM no signal --> *#06# --> IMEI1 Null IMEI2 Null

5- set File manager in root mode

6- Changed in /system/nuilt.prop persist.radio.multisim.config=none

6- restarted --> only one indication of NO signal

I checked that efs folder was present in root and it was so.

Before to change rom I used Samsung tool to backup/restore efs, so I had a efs backup in externalSD available.

To try to restore I made so:

7- installed busybox

8- launch Samsung tool --> backup efs and operation ended ok

9- restart device --> No signal again :crying:

If I reinstall stock rom with odin IMEI is present and device works correctly.

If I try to install others custom ROMs same thing.

Could you help me please to understand how to solve this problem?

Thank you all for your support

Note: I made a efs.tar.gz of the efs folder too if can be usefult to restore in other way.

Hello guys.

I solved the problem using TWRP and file modem.zip of the next XDA discussion

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-core/development/g355hn-modem-t3053115

After reboot the signal was again present and baseband version was present too.

Now I have another problem ...

I want use this mobile as a GPS tracker so I installed an app that (naturally) request to activate GPS (ad I set it to High accurancy) but I continue to have message

"your GPS seems to be disabled, Please enable it"

I tried using some app as GPS essential to check satellites but I have always NO FIX.

How can I solve this problem ?

Thank you again for your support.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] centodue:
I tried in these days to solve the problem but with no success.

I reinstalled (many times after every operation) the last Stock ROM available G355HNXXU0AQA1_G355HNITV0AQA1_ITV (Italy).

I made a complete fix with more than 10 satellites fixed on 15/20 and then I tried Mokee , FIUI, CM11 and other ROMs, but with all I am able to fix the IMEI null but not the the GPS....

Have you some solution?

Can you please advise how to do it...?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] richhaynes:
Smart Unlock is a Google feature, not Samsung. I believe it is Google who set what jurisdictions you can use it in due to local data protection laws. I think this is because the image is processed on Google servers rather than your phone and so some places (like UK) are stringent on sending biometric data to data centres outside the country.

And isn't the S8 feature an iris scanner rather than face detection??

Since a photo from facebook is enough to unlock most face detection apps i would seriously consider sticking to a pin/password/fingerprint over face detection :)

To activate trusted face on s7edge, root device, flash gapps arm64 super package. This will enable face unlock and all the google aka pixel options on device.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] slickromeo:
no offense, but i think you're wrong here..... I've had the face unlock feature on Android 6, and 7, and now that My pixel has updated to Android 8, it's on there too.

however, people next to me who have the Galaxy S7 do not have the face-unlock feature....

so this begs the question, Why did Samsung remove this from their phones? and then bring it back in the Galaxy S8 ?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Iceblue:
After reading about bodyguardz for the T-Mobile Vario III on this most excellent of forums :) I ordered one from www.pocketsolutions.com. On their webpage they also had listed a kaiser 3-in-1 stylus/reset pin/pen so I ordered it. Delivery took 5 days from the US to the UK and once it arrived I checked the 3-in-1 stylus. However it was just a normal stylus, no pen & no reset pin. Emailed pocketsolutions, and they denied that such a stylus existed for the kaiser and all its varients! So I emailed them back cut 'n' pasted their words from the website and told them they had it advertised with a pen! They emailed back and told me it was a figment of my imagination! Why they couldn't just say yes we got it wrong I will never know. Needless to say, getting a refund for the stylus.

www.proporta.co.uk claim to stock one but at nearly £15 inc delivery I'm just gonna hold out until someone on ebay has one for much cheaper.

[Xperia Z5 General] drsoran2:
Hi,

I know that photos are limited to 8MP but what kind of settings exactly and within which range can you apply? Iso range and steps? Shutter speed range and steps? Can you change shutter and iso at the same time? Do the apps adhere to these settings or is there some kind of built in Sony override? Shutter lag?

Can all of the 3rd party camera apps change the same settings or do some have more options, better quality?

Is it possible to have some kind of predictive focus like with the new X series?

Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Z5 General] frankm87:
Apparently, Camera FV-5 now supports 23MP on the Z5.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z5-Z5-Compact-Z5-Premium/Full-camera-res-in-third-party-apps/m-p/1129044/highlight/true#M19112

Can anyone confirm?
[Xperia Z5 General] JonesWTF:
After seeing this, I reinstalled and can confirm. FV-5 does now take photos at full 23mp resolution.
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
Yes it does. But slow shutterspeed still 2,1 mp. Although u can choose a preset shutterspeed on 23mp.

ISO is not adjustable at preset shutterspeed but it is when using custom shutterspeed time (2,1mp)

I think atm this is the best app available for those who want a bit more functionality (Camera2 API) then point and shoot.

For further improvement, Sony should fix their API as it seems incomplete to me.

BTW about predictive focus, there's object tracing focus in Stock Sony camera app. It just isn't as fast as shown in commercials but that will be the case with Xperia x too.

Commercials lie.
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
So far every camera app I've tried has shutter lag, and it's worse because the camera focuses first when you press the shutter. Stock app is fastest if you use shutter button and half-press to focus first, but it still skips a frame from the moment you press the shutter. The other option... is Facebook messenger which probably just captures a frame from the live feed.

Great that Camera FV-5 has full-res now, wonder how they achieved it.

The Xperia X has a new algorithm that makes things more efficient, and this may also involve the hardware as well. Why couldn't Sony implement this sooner? My friends who have owned Z1 and Z3 say they have shutter lag as well.
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
At least on my Z5 Premium max resolution on FV-5 is still 8MP. I don't understand what you guys are talking about. Do you have your phones rooted?

I just reinstalled FV-5 a few times. FV-5 claims my phone supports RAW, but after selecting PNG as the file format, the app crashed and wouldn't load anymore. Resetting the phone didn't help. Only reinstalling the app helped.

FV-5 is still completely unusable. I managed to focus a few times and even managed to took one picture. After that FV-5 has not been able to focus and refuses to take any pictures. All it can do is crash.

I still haven't found even one functioning 3rd party camera app for my Z5 Premium.
[Xperia Z5 General] Envious_Data:
Ive found that opencamera, manual camera, camera-FV5 have working manual controls

Personally i prefer camera-FV5 As it doesnt oversharpen as much as Manual camera
[Xperia Z5 General] Lio78:

[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
I'm using Xperia Z5 unrooted and I have version 3.2 and it has 20 and 23MP. Maybe it only works on Z5 for now.
[Xperia Z5 General] frankm87:
Whether it works or not almost surely depends on the firmware version.

Which firmware version do you have?
[Xperia Z5 General] Lio78:
Nope, I have Z5 and 1.163 firmware.

FV-5 don't work over 8.23mpx and auto focus do not work properly.
[Xperia Z5 General] frankm87:
The latest firmware version is 1.185, which I still can't get through OTA updates. Are the 23MP available on 1.185?
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
On the linked sonymobile site someone said 23MP is available on Z5 Compact. I don't understand what is going on. It would be wonderful if FV-5 finally would begin to function properly.

Based on your suggestion, i tried Open Camera. This is the first time i have full manual control on my Z5 Premium over shutter speed and ISO. Shutter speed is controllable up to 1/10s and ISO between 50 -3200. AF is a problem on this app also, but at least it doesn't crash all the time. I will test this app more.

I remember trying out Open Camera and numerous other camera apps last Christmas. None of the apps worked back then, so at least some positive signs can be seen.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

On my Z5 Premium firmware version is the latest 1.185. Maximum resolution on FV-5 is 8MP.

.
[Xperia Z5 General] drsoran2:
Can you elaborate on the available shutter speed steps in-between 1/10 and 1/4000 or whatever the highest is? Can ISO and shutter be adjusted at the same time? What do you mean with AF problems and crashes?
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
On Open Camera fastest available shutter is 1/10500s. Both shutter speed and ISO can be very finely controlled. There are more available shutter speeds and ISOs than cameras usually have. Yes, ISO and shutter speed can be adjusted at the same time. Open Camera is a free app, so everybody with a Z5 can experiment with it.

Open Camera does not crash like FV-5 does, but physical shutter button (half-pressing) cannot be used for AF. It tries to focus but never locks, as it will just pump the focus aimlessly. When pressing the shutter button fully (or hitting the shutter button on screen), it seems to focus before taking a picture. Weird behavior.
[Xperia Z5 General] Daniel_GB:
here is the Camera FV-5 on Z5p .185 firmware
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
Ok. Now we are getting somewhere. My Camera Fv-5 version is 3.15.1. That's the newest version i can find. Where have gotten the 3.2 version? Maybe this is a regional thing.
[Xperia Z5 General] Daniel_GB:
probably a regional thing...
[Xperia Z5 General] drsoran2:
So, basically with open camera we can finally fine tune the iso and shutter speed simultaneously and have full manual control and autofocus working - albeit at 8MP maximum (and on the latest firmware)?

But camera fv-5 can now do the full resolution but can't focus or take a picture? Someone needs to find a way to combine both of these apps...and add longer shutter speeds than 1/10th. That'll be great.
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
With Open Camera we can control ISO and shutter speed simultaneously. Autofocus certainly does not work properly. With the physical shutter button autofocus is impossible. I just restarted my phone, and now touch focus seems to work. Before the restart, touch focus stopped functioning early on (no focus lock confirmation, even though it looked it focused). So things really aren't smooth.

Open Camera clearly uses only contrast detection auto focus, as it goes through the full focus range every time it focuses. So the focusing is slow by today's standards. Also the shutter lag is even worse than with Sony's own app.

I have no access to the latest 3.2 version of FV-5, so i don't know if the focusing issues have been fixed on it.
[Xperia Z5 General] Lio78:
yeah, good news.

In Italy we have a 3.15 version of Camera FV5 and last firmware is .163 (Wind operator)
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
I'm on 1.185 and that may be why. 23MP is available in FV-5, but the ISO control doesn't work.

Autofocus works on FV-5, but the shutter lag is pretty bad. I unchecked the options to capture photo without focusing, which did not help at all - the camera still focuses and unfortunately I think this is how Sony has programmed it. If the camera was allowed to prefocus the scene and capture as is, it would still be a lot faster even if there a frameskip. The photos don't show up on Sony's album app and if you save them in the same folder as stock it will fill up the file numbers that have been deleted instead of the highest number. Even FV-5's photo viewer takes you to the highest number file..

Open Camera is very laggy as you have stated - sometimes the camera will continuously capture photos in burst even after I let go of the shutter, and this leads to lag scrolling around the settings and overheating...

I tried A Better Camera and ProCapture they all have shutter lag.

So far Facebook Messenger is the only app that has no shutter lag because it's capturing off the live view and the resolution is lower. The audio recorder in Messenger also exhibits a 1-second delay from when you press it, and the audio quality is awful, like a phone call - yes it is compressed but it is far more harsh than my HTC Butterfly s.

I highly doubt Sony will ever fix this on the Z5, as they haven't for the Z-Z3... If you ask them they will tell you to "repair your phone" first but screw that - even demo units have the lag. It I can't say for sure the Xperia X has improved it either. Now they're boasting 0.6 seconds to take a picture from standby, and once again the fast autofocus which often struggled with tracking the moving billiard balls at MWC.

And this presentation Sony shows a different capture algorithms. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_x-review-1425p2.php

It suggests they have addressed the lag due to autofocus, but that is not the whole problem because even after focusing the Z5 will skip a frame upon capture. It also shows that for low light/high ISO the Xperia X will resample multiple shots to reduce noise and increase resolution.

By "Competitor A", I think they mean Xperia Z5... lol
[Xperia Z5 General] interestor:
Excellent science here, thank you. I use the Z5 compact. My opinion is that the time, from pressing physical button to exposure, is not too bad. But I sure do wish I had more control over settings. I wonder if the trouble getting 3rd party apps to work is because the camera software works outside of the operating system (ie: unlocking the bootloader, in order to root, prevents access to the camera processing algorithms).
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
Today FV-5's version 3.2 was available in Play Store. Now 23MP/20MP modes do work. Also autofocus performance is now acceptable. The app still crashes about once every minute (usually when changing settings), but it's not that bad as the app launches back up automatically.

FV-5 version 3.2 does not support any kind of manual control. No shutter speed and no ISO control in ANY mode (long exposure mode does not count). That's right, ISO is NOT controllable in 20MP nor in 8MP modes. The app let's you choose ISOs in every mode, but these settings DO NOT have an effect when taking pictures. RAW format is not supported.

At least Exposure compensation works. The only really positive feature compared to Sony's own app is a functioning live RGB histogram. Also, FV-5 shows correctly the used exposure values (shutter speed and ISO) right after taking a picture on the upper row.

All in all, quite a disappointment.
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
May I ask, how do u control shutterspeed in open camera?
