[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] No Expert:
Hi,

I was very surprised to see the G2 camera port (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522889) work so well on my G3 running LineageOS.

Nearly everything works including OIS. The low light quality is fantastic compared to the LineageOS camera.

I was under the impression that such porting was impossible given the reliance on LG's proprietary drivers and framework.

So, if the G2 camera can be ported, can the G3 camera be ported too?

Thanks

This was answered a thousand times. It can't be ported.

So, just like anyone else, I´m also looking at tonnes of cases before I get the phone.

I´d have one question I haven´t seen in the forums here yet - even Samsung offers cases for Galaxy S8 that have magnets in them, e.g. the official clear view case. Won´t the magnet in it have negative impact on the compass in the phone? My elementary school memories tell me that magnets and a compass are not the best friends. I use my phones a lot for navigating around and this would be quite an issue.

Would anyone with more technical knowledge care to chime in on this?

Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] potatomanwrl:
There's not a real compass in the phone. It's based off of the gps and accelerometer. So don't worry about magnets. I have a magnetic car mount for my phones, and none of them have ever had problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] Skander1998:
This is incorrect. Almost all modern smartphones use the magnetometer for the compass.

The accelerometer and other sensors only improve accuracy if used.

I cannot comment on whether a magnetic case would mess the sensor up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] YellowGTO:
You might be able to use this tool (Not sure if its in the S8) to see if the magnet is interfering

Turn on the Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge

From the home screen, select on the phone app

Switch to the keypad

Type *#0*#

Then select on the “sensor” tile

Browse to the “Magnetic Sensor”

Now move the Samsung Galaxy S7 completely around each axis

Move the compass sensor of the Samsung Galaxy S7 until its completely calibrated

Exit the service menu by repeatedly tap the Back button

Hello. This is my second game, made home :) It is a simple game for android, unfortunately only with 15 levels. Compared to the first game, I decided to make fewer levels and diversified, than many repetitive. I worked hard at it. So I appreciate any advice.

[Wing, P4350 General] kris b bills:
I have been reading this forum for the last few days. And checking out what your guys are doing here. (I like it!) Now I have some question for some of the experts that will help me make the choice of selecting my new phone.

I have T-mobile USA an currently have a razr. Now I have been thinking of getting a ppc after reading some reviews and things like that I see the kiaser might be the best ppc availale.(This is what I get from reviews don't shoot me) at this time. But I'm not looking to spend that kind of money on a phone. Even though it is sim unlocked not cid unlocked according to reading here what the difference is.

1. Should I go with a T-mobile Wing or go for the HTC Herald? And what is the difference really between the two phones. One is branded the other is not. Or should I try for the next power house in line that would be an HTC Hermes (TYTN).

2 Now if I do that and choose one of the two unbranded phones. It's a possible chance that I will get one that doesn't have english Os (maybe buyng from ebay). And I would like to use the best Rom for that phone from here of course. I'm just thinking i don't want to brick the phone right away. So are there easy methods to cid unlocks on any of these 3 phones? I just listed so I won't have problems trying to flash to a new Rom. With branded or unbranded phone and english or non english Os? Really need help with this.
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
1. The herald is inevitably more expensive than the wing. if you like tmobile, i'd go with the wing. This is because its unlocked, no? Either way, eh. Anything unlocked will be more expensive.

2. Again, I wouldn't choose the unbranded unless you dont intend to use it with tmobile. Either way, you can call them and ask them to unlock it for you after a set amount of time. This sim-unlocks the phone. Now, for cid-unlocking, we have three choices- aserg's method, USPL, and Hard-SPL.

Aserg's was popular back in the heyday of Herald flashing. Nobody really uses it anymore

USPL writes a temporary SPL to the phone that allows it to be flashed.

Hard-CID replaces the phones SPL with a permanent one that can't be overwritten (i think).

IN conclusion, if you really want an unlocked phone, get a wing, wait 60 days, ask them for the unlock code, and unlock away. To flash a new rom, use USPL or Hard-CID. In the end, you end up with an unlocked phone with CID bypass capabilities.

If you had searched, you would have known that.
[Wing, P4350 General] kris b bills:
Ok let me be more specific here. I do appreciate the reply!

Now here is what I'm asking is the the unbranded Herald better than the T-mobile wing beside looks? (the wing is ugly looking compared to the herald) I will be using the phone on T-mobile service. I understand the price difference in the phone being locked or unlocked. And if so of going unbranded should I choose between Herald or Hermes? The unbranded phones would be sim unlocked not cid unlocked. As I understand and maybe have a different language firmware or Os other than english which I can't understand not bi-lingual. And the wing would be locked both ways but be in english already. If I was to cid unlock what is the most safest way to do so?
[Wing, P4350 General] chris30_2001:
If your staying on Tmobile, get a wing. Theres no damn good reason not too. The difference between the two????? Color and I believe keyboard layout -- hence the idea of "rebranding." Same thing.
[Wing, P4350 General] hidavi:
Get a Wing. Its prettier and unlocking it is a breeze.

People just love the deep, dark, almost pearlescent blue of my phone , as do I!
[Wing, P4350 General] kris b bills:
So there is no difference in the Herald or Wing. So what you are saying is leave the unbranded phones alone. Is the Hermes still a good phone to use unbranded on T-mobile service or just plain ol get the wing and call it a day and stop boggling my brain? I do appreciate the help guys Thanks.
[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:

[Wing, P4350 General] kris b bills:

[Wing, P4350 General] itje:
go for htc p4350..

my choice any day ;)
[Wing, P4350 General] kris b bills:
Is there any particular reason you are saying go with the P4350? According to others as stated earlier they said go for the wing.
[Wing, P4350 General] zcink:
I'm partial to the Wing, but the Herald is just as good. I've seen the Wing selling on ebay for between 250.00 - 300.00 unlocked.
[Wing, P4350 General] kris b bills:
It's not about being lock or unlocked because what I plan on doing soon as I get the phone. I will flash it with a Rom from this site. So I'm looking to make sure I'm getting the best for the time being. Until I get an itch again for the upgrade bug. So here are my choices T-mobile wing, HTC Herald or HTC Hermes. And according to those here is that I would guess that the Wing being the most easiest to flash I assume???? But I'm looking for the best phone that I will be happy with a cool Rom from here with all the tweaks added. :D
[Wing, P4350 General] kris b bills:
This is to itje. Do you feel there are any huge differences between the p4350 and the wing? If you had any experience with both phone. Or are you saying this because you have a p4350?
[Wing, P4350 General] speedblaster@yahoo.com:
Herald V/S Wing

Ok, let's make it very clear Herald and wing are the same exact thing, except one is unlocked and HTC branded while the other is made specifically for America and t-mobile branded. Now lets countdown the major differences good and bad.

The Wing-it's cheaper since it's made for american customers. It comes with Wm6 built in. Less expensive if bought locket with t-mobile. But it shoud'nt be a problem for you since you already have t-mobile.

Herald-Not made for american customers, so you have to buy it unlocked hence more expensive. COme with wm5 you have to manually upgrade to wm6. You get to register with HTC and reciev all the updates.

Bad stuff about having branded T-Mobile: it comes with Myfaves, this app takes up a ton of storage and program meory, hate htis s**t.

So these were the differences in Herald and the wing.:)

but if you do chose to go unlocked then the question is Tytn V/S Herald V/S Tytn II right. As you know the tilt or tytn ii is the best and the most powerfull phone on the market, but as you mentioned before it's expensive, really really expensive. But depends on how much you want to spend ATT sells it locked for $550, plus unlocking charge. If you want to specifically buy tytn 2 then it's like 600 to 700 dollars.

Now Herald v/s Hermes. Herald is slimmer and lighter than Hermes. Arguably better looking too. But the Hermes has a 400mhz procceser while herald only has 200 mhz. Hermes also has a second camera for video call(the American version dosen't have it) the herald dosen't. And finally Hermes also has 3g, the herald dosen't. But you won't be able to use 3G since T_Mobile USA, dosen't support it. I hope this answers all your questions. Tell me if it dosent.

[General Topics] mamado_02:
I saw this coming across the wire and it piqued my interest... the latest version of Google Photos coming down the pike (v2.13, might be a little before everyone gets it) added a new video editing option; stabilization. Now, I immediately side loaded the update, because I have no patience for such things, and took a peek.

The interface is simple... load up a video, click on the pencil shaped edit button and at the bottom of the screen, you'll see "STABILIZE"

If the video is local, it'll process it then give you the option to preview and then save. At which point you can upload the stabilized video back up to Photos and it'll sit there besides the original (you will see both versions). You can also stabilize videos that are backed up, it'll just download the video locally first.

It works surprisingly well. It seems to use the standard 'crop and process' method that you'll see on something like Youtube, etc. So a discerning eye will be able to see the tell tale wobble of a stabilized video... which you really can't avoid... the lens is moving so there will always be a constant perspective change. But the results are still very impressive.

Pretty slick. The software stabilization on my 6P is OK.... but after playing with this function a bit, I am considering just flipping it off and doing all the stabilization work in post using Photos. This is only available on the Google Photos app itself; you can't load the video up on photos.google.com and edit it. Odd.

So I got an update last night on my J7 2016 with MetroPCS. I wanna update it, but I'm rooted and don't wanna screw anything up. Should I take the update, or hold off? Thanks in advance

It is nothing important, as samsung says, overall improvement, what is bothering me is how did you get that update since you are rooted
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] SuperSancho:
I also received this update yesterday. I spoke with T-Mobile. They told me it was an update from Google. They also told me that I was one of the few customers out of the thousands to receive it. It was not in their system they had to update it themselves. Still kinda sketchy.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Juncojam:
I have no clue. The same thing happened twice when I had my LG G Stylo with the same company. It's kinda weird. I guess I'll just hold off on the update until further notice. Thanks though
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Juncojam:
It was from one of them though, so I guess I can trust it somewhat, but I don't wanna update it with a risk of screwing this phone up. I guess I can hold off for a bit
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] social.catastrophe:
Yeah, this update bricked my device. SM-J700T.

Accidentally allowed it when clearing the annoying notification while watching youtube. Failed to flash properly. Somehow flashed a new sboot.img still. Tried to reinitialize with smart switch, but its still only listing apk6, and the update managed to only flash the sboot.img from AQC3, so i cant go back to APK6.

I tried as well with the AP from sammobile, and now have unknown baseband and invalid imei. Well, I'm 6 days away from my jump anyways, but I'd rather stick with this phone a while longer.

Any thoughts or advice? It boots, and it shows apk6 for build.

Hell, If any of you have the update.zip, I might be able to fix it still. I pulled the update from cache I thought, but it seems to be corrupt. Hell, maybe that was the problem? Maybe I can pop the update on sd (if anyone has it and would be willing to share?) and use stock recovery to flash it, and see what happens?

Thanks for any input.

EDIT: I have a friend with the same device, who was unrooted and on the new update. He wanted his rooted anyways, so I installed twrp, and used it to pull a backup of the system image, the radio image, the cache image, and used those to restore my phone. All is good. We're both on the last update, rooted and feelin good.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Juncojam:
Good to know man. one of my friends almost updated it on accident, i was lucky to pull the battery on time. Thanks for that

Hey everyone.

I have a mla-l03 that I unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and rooted the device. Tried everything I could to get the second simtray to work (changed oeminfo) successfully multiple times to hw/eu hw/ru and the buildprop files and so on.

I updated the software to mla-l11 by downloading update.zip from firmware finder to euro version but the dual SIM still didn't work. I installed nougat EU VERSIon I believe but after that my updater system app is gone and I tried various rollbacks and different update.zip from EU (432) and still nothing even tried c185 and stock firmware as well to go up in build number but no success. I currently have my bootloader locked. Tried to unlock it again with my original unlock code from huawei but it doesn't work as since updating software, my SN number changed so it says invalid key. So no root no garland locked downloader.

Stuck inn this state for a few months. Does anyone have any suggestions or help they can offer? Would be much appreciated

Thanks

Hey, i am about to buy myself this tablet, the lenovo yoga tab 3 plus LTE

and while i wait for it to arrive i wanna buy screen protector and cases from ebay, but if i spesific search for YT-X703F there is almost no options so are there any screen differense or layout in lenovo yoga pro and so on?

This will be my first lenovo so i dont know the differrence if anyone is different but is someone could help me out by say the search term i need to use to get the proper glass protector and case i will be very happy..

Im sure there are common search terms for this as well, but as told i am not very familiar With lenovo.

Also, im getting this as a replacement for my Nvidia Shield, im not mush of a gamer but im a total media whore and i like to watch Things in 4K and i also fly some drones that film in 4K so this will be why i spesific og for this tablet of course also since its Budget friendly when compared to other brands..

I just searched Yoga Tab 3 Plus on eBay and other sites and it comes up with plenty of results. I ordered a tempered glass protector and a rubber case. There seems to be two types of cases, the standard book style with a cutout on the back for the kickstand, and a non-flip rubber style case.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] veralynn:
I bought some different cases but im not comfortable with any due to the metal stand makes all cases unuseful and flimsy. Just had a leather pouch i stick it in when I'm done.

The screen protector i bought that was made from glass. Very good.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] SenK9:
Which cases did you get? Can you take some pics or links to the ones you got?

That might help some of us know which cases to avoid

Thank you
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] veralynn:
Just avoid them all. Buy a pouch or something. Due to the metal flip all cases will feel flimsy with that extra screen protector that flips over. And its unbearable to use the tablet with that extra dangling around in the back making it very uncomfortable to use.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] SenK9:
Yeah that's what I suspected, its a shame. There is this third style I was looking at as well - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0197QBAEM/

It's the Moko case, but no cutout, more like a traditional case. Instead the kickstand rests on the inside of the case.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers] veralynn:
Have something like this also. You're gonna get irritated of the leather covering the edges of the screen.

Its a no go.

Hi, I know this thread is a little old (and yet still top thread in this subforum!) so I thought I would update this. I just bought a Yoga Tab 3 Plus and have still to find a case that stays always on the tablet.

In the meantime I am using the Mosiso iPad Pro 10.5 Case Sleeve (I bought mine on Amazon Canada - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B074N3SDPD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1) which fits the tablet perfectly and feels quite secure. I try and just hold onto the thing when it is out of the case, though I am sure I will drop it eventually.

I am using one of the cheapest 9H screen protectors I could find on eBay (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Premium-9H-T...var=660813795911&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) and it fits perfectly! Like a good planner, I bought two - and immediately ruined the first one. The second one turned out much better.

Do not buy the Moko flip case, it sucks.
