[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singularity_iOS:
This is a problem I've had since I bought the phone 2 years ago. Images just look terrible in low light. I can't figure out how to fix it in camera settings. I am currently on a Note 5 lollipop rom but I had the problem on this rom and my old note 3 rom. It has the Note 5 camera app (or maybe it's the s6. Not sure)

Attached 2 photos for comparison. One is low light. Other is low light with flash on.

Solutions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try Note 4 camera .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayman95:
Note 3 have a very poor camera hardware....you can change all apps you will keep same hardware and overture.... S6 or S7 have much more quality camera....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes but OP wants a solution and probably Note 3 camera is the best .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayman95:
yes or the less worst.....:p
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
You can try any app you like, it's not going to make a difference. The tiny camera sensor in the Note 3 is simply not capable of performing adequately in low light.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomfun:
Hi guys,

My phone is rooted, don't have S-OFF though but I don't think I need it for what I want to do.

I installed Titanium Backup (Root access OK), did a backup of all my apps and started to delete the unwanted ones. So I select Twitter for instance and click on Uninstall.

I get the notification "Un-install complete for "Twitter" and it appears crossed out on the list in TB.

But once I reboot the phone, everything is back as before step 1....

Any clue on what to do to make it work? Is it related to S-OFF?

Any tips would be helpful!

Thanks,

Tomfun
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
What rom you are using ?

Maybe you don't have access to system ( related to s-on )

Some apps is not placed in /system/app or /priv-app

It's placed in /system/vendor/app just delete the folder if it's there and reboot if this doesn't solve your issue

You may need to flash custom kernel which allow you to delete system apps
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomfun:
I am using the stock ROM 6.12.401.4

How can I flash the kernel?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you are on the stock ROM, but with root; this alone does not give you permission to delete system apps (or other system changes within OS). This is counterintuitive, and the reason is that the system partition is write protected on this device, even with root.

As mentioned in the previous response, you need to apply a kernel mod to remove the write protection. If on a Sense Marshmallow ROM, you can use the wp_mod posted with the ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-stock-unlocked-developer-sense-7-t3262894

If not on MM, or not on Sense, you'll need a different wp_mod. But I'm just guessing, as you haven't given any details.

As always, make a TWRP backup of your current setup,

before

applying the mod, in case anything goes wrong.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
Now that the note 7 is officially dead, the only other phone I can see myself switching to is the S7 edge however Verizon only sells the 32gb. Do you think if I called Samsung I could get them to send me a free SD card for it after going through this mess with the note 7?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] droidiac13:
If you switch to the S7E I believe they have a promo going for a free SD card still.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
Good to know.. Probably will call Verizon in a bit. I'm worried I won't like the more pronounced edge screen or the battery life won't be as good as my note 7. Just can't see any other phone to switch to. I don't like how the v20 or pixel aren't waterproof.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Spiteful Monkey:
The SD promo is over; it ended on the 9th.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] DeMi-GoD:
I feel like samsung owes something to people who have to downgrade to the s7e. 32gb is a joke.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] MatroxD:
I agree.. I feel they owe us much more for the hassle...

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
The S7E is such a small device.... I had the S7 as a loaner and it sucked.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] droidiac13:
The pronounced edge screen is exactly why I got rid of the S7E. I couldn't stand it and when I used it one handed, I was always touch the side panel. The Note 7 was so much better.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] GolfMan90:
I think I am going this route too. S7E
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] billinaz:

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] billinaz:
Well since I cannot stand IOS, iPhone is out. I really like the wireless charging, and I have Samsung pay debit cards on my account pretty much makes it an easy choice for me.

I was considering the Pixel XL but it is going to be locked down with bloatware so the biggest appeal is gone there.

After looking at all the options, I have a Galaxy S7 edge being delivered from Verizon today. Im not totally happy with it but thats the best thing for me to get now.

I just have to wait for the next flagship phone from Samsung next year ( Galaxy Pro?) to be as happy with the phone I use now that the Note 7 (and Note brand itself) is out.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
The Verizon Pixel XL has been bootloader unlocked and rooted and can now be flashed with Google store firmware making it just like the rest. I had one but hated the rear fingerprint reader so I returned it. Getting an S7 Edge.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] billinaz:
That was one of the reasons I didnt get the Pixel, the other reason was the plastic on the top and bottom.

I cant wait until my Note 5 arrives, still has a Nov 15 ship date.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikesaa309:
This whole note 7 exploding thing is a complete joke. How can any company be so dumb as to let the phones explode? I'm quite happy to continue using my note 7 but now oculus has updated the app on the phones so note 7 not longer works with the gear vr so now I have an 80 quid device that is useless because I have no other phone to use it with. Samsung need to investigate these new claims of note 7s exploding fast and get it all sorted.

Sadly I use the note phones because I use the S-pen so changing phone isn't really an option as there are no alternatives to the S-pen. So frustrating when companies just do the most stupid things ever it's like with the gear S2 as well Samsung hasn't really helped it gain traction as they don't offer decent dev support so apps aren't as good as on apple watch or android wear again I don't know why they're being so dumb and not sorting it out.

I also reckon that Samsung phones are done for I doubt anyone would risk buying another Samsung phone in the future.

Agreed. The Note 7 was great, and this is not so much.

A friend reminded me, too late, of the S6 Edge+. No water resist, no SD card, but bigger, faster, better sound than the S7 Edge. I have to have SD card, so I might not have gone that way, but it's a great phone for the money. Can be had on eBay for $300.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] The Root:
S7 beats S6. I had both.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] pyraxiate:
S7e isn't a bad phone. It's the note7 minus spen and iris scanner. The screen difference feels negligible in hand ( my s7e almost fit my n7 case perfectly...... )

I'm not happy with losing the n7 but T-mobile is taking care of me. I'm technically buying the s7e on installment but any money put towards the s7e will be applied to the n7 ( or n8 ) when it comes back out and I will be able to return the s7e regardless the time frame......since I was a pre-order and already had mine at launch.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] pyraxiate:
They noted my account that this was a loaner phone that I'm paying on. I was one of the original pre orders who received my phone and had to bring it back a week later for the recall. I was given the option of waiting overnight for a Loaner to be shipped or buy something in store and have it credited on the first recall replacement n7. The first replacement which was supposed to take a few weeks never came. I called 611 frantic worried I'd be stuck with an expensive phone I didn't want. They said my account was noted this was a replacement and a temporary device only due to the recall and even if it took a year I was safe to return it for a full refund ( or apply the refund to another phone ).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] dkb218:
Try and get an S7 Edge now. On back order until November. I ordered last week and it states it shipped but it's been on its way to UPS going on 5 days now. I guess the little old lady with the broken hip is crawling to UPS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] pyraxiate:
When I took mine back for the recall, there was a 2 day window where they issued a loaner but had to mail it out. I'm guessing they ran out of loaners. I opted for option 2 because I couldn't wait overnight. Basically they returned the note7 and had me put the s7e on the EIP instead. During that window, they made a note on my account that this was a temporary loaner type device until the note7 was released again. Several weeks passed and I didn't get a call from my retailer. I went in and one of the reps said they were likely pulling all note7 and stopping sales..... he could overnight one for me but I'd likely have to return that one too. I said I'd wait for the issue to be resolved. Went home, called 611 and threw a fit because I don't want to be stuck with an $800 phone I didn't want. The customer service rep said he would feel the same way too and checked my account. He said that my s7e IS showing as a loaner device.

I then asked him what it the n7 isn't released after waiting a year. At that point the s7e would be halfway paid off ( $400 Ish applied to the EIP ). He said that because I paid for the s7e as a loaner that all money applied to it would be reimbursed / put towards a note 7 ( or comparable device ...such as a note 8 ). I specifically asked what if it took a year....and he said the account is noted and I have nothing to worry about.

The following day I went to my T-mobile retailer and spoke to the manager ( excellent at customer service by the way ). I told him I already knew about the 2nd recall and wanted him to confirm about the loaner s7edge I'm paying on. He went into the account notes and saw where the 611 rep noted whenever a replacement n7 ( or comparable device ) was available, the s7e would be fully refunded.

I breathed a sigh of relief. The manager did my preorder on my n7 so he was already aware of everything. As long as my account is noted I'm good to go he said regardless the time frame.

Hopefully he is still there at the same location a year from now so it's easier. Lol

I've been rooting my Android pohnes and trying out different roms for years. I have no idea how but I just installed the Verizon S7 rom to my carrier unlocked S7. I obviously now have all of Verizon's bloat. Lol. It's like I went the complete opposite direction.

Can I go back? Should I try root and then TWRP? I just didn't want to make a move until someone told me how screwed I am.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Just flash an unbranded stock ROM for your model S7 the same way you flashed the Verizon ROM (ODIN)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] yomamashump:
Thanks. I'll try that today. I figured that was the easiest way but I didn't want to make matters worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] RiTCHiE007:
Yea just flash back unbranded firmware or do a kies restore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] commodorevt:
I believe if you put the correct info into kies it will reinstall stock everything but will also remove custom recovery and root but the main point is the s7 should have its original Rom reinstalled. I recommend using Kies personally.

Good luck and let us know how it goes

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocBrownie:
(only found one thread with this issue, from nov 2015, with zero replies: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/help/wifi-issue-nexus-6p-t3244411)

So, let's go.

Nexus 6P Android N Oct 5th, Build NBD90X here.

Bought on 4/10/2016, one week ago, in Germany, after Pixel announcement (too expensive).

Manufacturing date: 11/17/2015 (bit old, maybe refurbished?)

Behaviour: At first, connects normally to WiFi. Connection stable for a bit, so it is not a reoccuring "it reconnects every 60 seconds and can't hold the connection" thing, it is very different.

In following situations it drops Wifi:

- When screen goes off for more than 1-2 minutes

- when I cast something (YouTube, Twitch) to my Chromecast and the Nexus screen turns off after 60 seconds, the Cast continues, but when I wake up the phone, Youtube or the other apps say connection lost, so I can no longer control the stream. I tap "retry" but it does not work and I have to restart phone, reconnect to Chromecast and stop the cast that way. Super annoying.

- And, not often but happens: even when i scroll through Twitter, it randomly disconnects and reconnects after about 10-20 seconds.

Things I have tried:

- different APs and Networks (home, at work, at a friend's house)

- changed Wifi channel, 2.4, 5ghz, .. basically just tested every setting here at home. since problem occurs also at work and other networks, can't be the cause.

- wiped system cache, nothing

- reset network settings on phone, several times, nothing

- WPS, nothing

- under "Location", advanced, disabled the WiFi and Bluetooth scanning stuff

- switched from "always" to "only when plugged in" at "stay connected to wifi" setting. changed behavior to: not reconnecting to WiFi when woken up. Instead, it finds all networks BUT the one it remembers and should connect to. I have to turn wifi on and off, even that does not help sometimes. then I have to reboot.

- maybe some measures I even forgot about now, but basically everything ever, anywhere, recommended...

- eventually I factory reset the device on sunday, started with "set up as new device" from scratch, wasted another few hours to eventually have the same result.

I used all my data plan because "Android System" downloaded so much in the background in the first night (when it should have been in Wifi of course), have to turn cellular data off now to not pay for extra megabytes (germany..).

so I don't get any updates or push mails anymore because mobile data off and it drops Wifi all the time. this is unbearable.

Same router with my previous Desire HD, LG G3 and Nexus 5X: all with no problems.

My big question is: is this a software issue that will be resolved or do I have a defect device? I need to know fast because I have 14 days return time at my reseller and 7 are gone, 4 of them I tried to fix the problem. The old manufacturing date made me questioning the device in general. So is this software-related and will be fixed or should I RMA my device?

I also posted this on the android forums: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=206311 (look at the very helpful answer by the developer xD ... )
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwrx02:
Having the exact same issue since updating to NBD90X last Wednesday. So glad I finally found someone else is having g this issue. Has to be software, right?

I made a new issue report on code.google.com (issue 224971). Please report back if you find a solution, my data plan is wrecked already.

EDIT: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth just powered off while I was browsing XDA in chrome. So it happens randomly, not just when phone is at idle. This is really bad!

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocBrownie:
So, any news on this issue? If it's only three people in the world, i will return my phone on monday and ask for a replacement. Still in 14days-return-policy timeframe.

Although this looks like a software issue, waaay too few people are reporting that issue to justify keeping the device.

Annoying as f'ck but better safe than sorry. Hopefully the replacement will be of a newer manufacturing date without any issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltdownSpectre:
Firstly, this is weird lol, I bought my 6P in August of this year and my manufacturing date is exactly the same as yours.

Though I bought mine from an authorized retailer, I doubt it'd be refurbished, anyway, I did a clean flash of NBD90X and everything is working well for me. No issues whatsoever aside from the slightly crappy battery on Nougat.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Did you clean flash the NBD90X factory image or take an OTA?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocBrownie:
Hi,

I got it from a pretty big vendor here in Germany, pretty solid, 6000+ reviews with a 1,5 (1 best, 6 worst) rank at our best price comparison site. Ordered a LG G3 back in 2014 there and a Lenovo Thinkpad for my gf, everything perfect.

No, I got it, it had Marshmallow, then I had to install two security updates before it reached the "preparing for 7.0" update (20mb or sth.), then I got N and then, one day later, D90X appeared.

But I did a factory reset after having the issues.

You think I should try a clean flashing of the NBD90X? I thought I tried everything, but actually doing that didn't come up in my mind.

/edit: Did your packaging come with the papersleeve around the white plastic, where the S/N and the big P logo is printed on etc.? Cause my packaging was missing that. Only the plastic with transparent tape to hold it together. That is actually the only reason why I thought about "refurbished" because everything else looked completely new, no fingerprints, MM 6.0, etc. But it made me wary from the very beginning.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocBrownie:
I just did it and wiped again, installed from scratch. Factory Image NBD90X... as clean as it gets.

After going through all the steps and wasting another chunck of time, it took 5 minutes until the first disconnect. While screen was on, while downloading stuff from the Play Store.

I am so annoyed by this phone, can't even tell. Two weeks of troubleshooting, nothing worked.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapgut:
My connectivity just dropped dramatically. Had been on NBD90X since about 10/11. Our other does not exhibit this problem, both are almost set up the same. I then set mine up exactly like hers and still connected in kilobytes. Project Fi said they would send a refurb and I'm not excited over that. I've got 24 hrs to decide now. If it takes an hour or to to download an update that the other phone can do in a minute I guess mine is a lemon. Doc I just posted several places about this and my troubles started about the same time as yours. Also just installed the factory image and there's no improvement here.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocBrownie:
Thanks for your report. Got myself a replacement device 10 days ago, no trouble since then. The old one went back and I got my money back.

Def something wrong with the WiFi chip or whatever.

Loving the phone now, 7.1.1 runs smooth af.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapgut:
Cool. Glad yours works now. I went ahead and ordered the replacement, I'll scrutinize that refurbished unit when I get it. Being the weekend it won't ship `till Monday. Didn't realize how much I depended on this darn phone until mine quit working right!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapgut:
Well if it helps just one, I post this.

Our power went out for `bout an hour. Later I was still frustrated with the 6P and started messing with it, damn it was fast again. Went to sites immediately, went to the playstore and tried to get an app that I had given up on getting earlier and ~10Mb was downloaded and installed in 4 or 5 seconds!!

I hadn't even tried using the phone when I was out the last couple of days. That plus the fact that my Asus OnHub was down, it probably lost it's cache. Kept the settings but damn I'm gonna unplug it for a min or two the first of each month now!

Cancelled the replacement..... nothin-to-see-here-move-along........
