[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dwj:
Ok. I guess what is meant is that if a photo is taken in 4:3 and then cropped but not by as much as cropping into a 16:9 image. I misread the post then.

Anyway, I have been playing with camera on auto and on manual settings and found results excellent on a large pc monitor so no worries for the op about quality issues in different aspect ratios.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] themissionimpossible:
If one wants pictures in the 16:9 aspect ratio, if he takes a 4:3 picture and then crop it to 16:9, at the end he gets the same number of pixels as when taking the picture in the 16:9 mode.

So in this case cropping is only a waste of time...;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ChrisM75:
Sticking with 4:3 gives you more options. Its recording more of the scene, so you can crop, or not, later as you like. That's really the only difference.

HDR often helps in low light, or bad conditions, but can make bright scenes look a bit too intense. It helps with dark or bright regions in a picture, so you might get more detail in dark areas and more details in clouds, or on water.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Rydah:
Not necessarily. If you take a peek into the camera settings you'll see there are multiple options for megapixels.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] themissionimpossible:
But if we are comparing only the best possible camera 4:3 and 16:9 resolutions, IMHO it doesn't matter in terms of megapixels if at the end we want to get a 16:9 picture, even taken in 4:3 and then cropped, or taken just in 16:9.

Best 4:3 available = 4032 x 3024 (12 M)

Best 16:9 available = 4032 x 2268 (9.1 M)

As the picture width is the same for both, a 4:3 picture cropped to a 16:9 aspect ratio has a final height of 2268 pixels, so this too is a 4032 x 2268, just the same as the best available 16:9 resolution.

It's basic mathematics...;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dwj:
That's quite true but I think the previous poster was referring, like I was earlier, to the 4:3 and 16:9 options that have the same horizontal pixel count in settings options.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Itaintrite:
Lost pixels can't be recovered. If you're certain you're okay with 16:9 format though, just shoot in 16:9 and save space. I shoot in 4:3 because once in a while, I like to crop my photos vertically in post (rarely but it happens).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] blecap:
Alright got this reply from another forum, Pretty sure this is the reply what I was looking for:

" You're confusing overall all MP with the MP used at different aspect ratios. The 16:9 and 4:3 have the same resolution. All the 16:9 does is crop the top and bottom which gives you a lower MP. The resolution is the same because the used pixel density is still the same.

There IS a difference between 4:3 (12M) and 4:3 (6.2M) though. Half the pixels are not being used. The same goes for 16:9 (9.1) and 16:9 (3.7). "

Still confusing if the answers are already being answered here but I understood this clearly.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatadorZXDA:
Hello, I was wondering why is there no newb section on this website? surely it would help all the new comers like myself who have no idea what they're doing.

I recently rooted my device for the purpose of changing some Personal Hotspot settings so I decided to look at the other benefits I could get from rooting and one of them is Themes. My question is why is it so hard to theme your device? I thought alot of these theming apps were one click proceedurs however it is not at all the case, speaking of complications when I rooted my device I accidently deleted touchwiz home and ended up stuck on Easy Mode for a whole day even after fully wiping/resetting until I figured out the problem. I still have standard mode showing as easy mode on my device but its actually got a launcher for now so it's all good.

Anyway It would of been good to have noob/newb section on this website so I could get to grips with everything there is to know or most things anyway. Right now I don't really know where to look on this website as there are too many threads that contain complicated titles with terms I never even heard of before so let alone reading the whole threads where I just hear myself reading on and on with no understanding what so ever.

Am going to stop my little rant here, if anyone can direct me on how to setup some easy themes it would be appreciated.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwmackay:
Greetings,

I need some help. I purchased OneClickRoot for my Verizon S5. Everything went swimmingly right up until it didn't. I got root after several hours with the oneclick tech team. he gave me instructions on how to flash a ROM, but left out the apparently important step where I should have skipped the signature verification. So I had SafeStrap, wiped everything and tried to flash an unsigned ROM. now the phone is dead wit no OS and seemingly no ability to get back to safestrap. Should I just toss this phone in the rubbish and buy a new one or can it be saved? When I boot to recovery, it is Android recovery and it keeps failing on the verification.

All advice is welcome.

So Close!!

Thanks for the help. I followed this guide ( https://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529) and got it back; ...sort-of.

In Step 13, I used the 6.0 firmware.

In Step 14 I used the "latest stock rooted Lollipop Rom" that was recommended.

I have what appears to be a rooted 5.0 factory rom installed. However, when booting, I get process stopped errors for the first 2 minutes. Maybe 15 or 20 of them. After that, they stop.

Current Problems:

1) the radios are dead. Wi-Fi will not turn on and it does not know that my SIM card is installed

2) when the screen times-out I have to pull the battery to get it back.

3) All the error messages (android.process.media)

4) It does not see the SD card

Questions:

A) Can you help me fix the radio problems?

B) Once I get the radios working again, can I flash any G900V ROM with safestrap and it will likely solve 2, 3 &4?

C) Are the custom roms on 6.0 and higher rooted? I was looking at this one (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-cosmic-os-3-1-t3553838)

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Idk if i can help bt i can try haha Well first thing first it sounds like you used marshmallow firmware but then flashed a lollipop ROM which yes it will boot up bt stuff like your radio and GPS, etc won't work so first thing is first i would say is do a complete wipe and get your self back to stock through Odin and get everything working first before worrying about ROMs then I have to ask is what is what is your emmc are you 15 (bootloader unlock and can easily root 6.0.1 or higher) or emmc 11 (can only root 5.0)

If it write T model in the back, then it is the T model because you can change the model number in about phone, so maybe the owner changed the model number before you bought the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
You're going to want to put it back to stock before turning it in. If you don't have a computer to flash it, then you can use FlashFire to flash to the latest Verizon firmware. I'd recommend finding a friend that will let you use their computer for Odin, though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] CVertigo1:
It is possible to flash the firmware with FlashFire, but I'm always weary when it comes to flashing bootloaders and such. Odin has so many safety checks to prevent bricking, so I feel much more comfortable using that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Bijiont:
Hello Everyone I am hoping there is a solution to this however I have been unable to find anything.

I flashed the latest OTA image via sideload and everything was fine until I tried to install TWRP. When trying to install the latest TWRP I could find ( 3.1.0-0RC2 ) my phone would then boot loop. I tried this process several times and each time after installing my phone would boot loop for 10 minutes until I forced it into fastboot, fast booted the TWRP image, and finally sideload the OTA once again.

I have seen a couple threads which I believe indicate that May update changed/broke something with the bootloader but I will be honest I

haven't read into it much.

This is on a Google version of the device with the bootloader unlocked. (failed to mention that).

Thanks in advance.

Flash the bootloader from april.

****************************

Download last months 7.1.2 factory image.

Extract it and find "bootloader-marlin-xxxxblahblah.img".

Rename it to "bootloader.img" for simplicity's sake, then move it to the side.

:Flash-all" the latest factory image, after its done stay in fastboot.

Run "fastboot flash bootloader_a bootloader.img" from wherever you moved the file to

Disregard if "partition_a" isnt your primary, once the command is ran it will auto flash to the primary partition.

Boot and setup, reboot back to bootloader.

Boot and install twrp, then reboot to recovery.

Delete fstab.marlin in main directory, then flash preferred supersu (i use 2.79 sr3).

Reboot to system and your done. from here reboot to recovery or bootloader to flash your preferred kernel and mods.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Bijiont:
Was able to get this all sorted out.

If anyone else happens to see this thread with the same issues and missed the April bootloader deal you can find a good overview Here

To get the April bootloader image which is something I have never loaded myself you need to download the Factory Image from April then extract it. Inside there you will see the bootloader image.

Hope this helps anyone else who didn't read far enough into this issue.

I can only move a few apps to the SD Card and then I get a message stating "Not enough storage space." I know I'm not out of space. I only moved a few apps. I check anyways. Still shows there's over 30 GB of the 32 GB card free. I've swapped out the card. I have 3 of them. All are doing the same thing. I just went to the extreme earlier. I rooted the tab A (It wasn't rooted earlier today and I've been having this problem for 2 days.) I then tried to use link2sd and same exact problem. I have the 2 partitions. Both are fat32. One is 31 GB and second is 1 GB. I'll link a few apps over. Then I'll get the same error. "Not enough storage space." Well, apps2sd gives a slightly different error... "Unable to copy Data. No space left on destination." Opening a drive free space app, it shows I have 28.57 GB of 28.69 GB free.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Why are you partitioning the sdcard with 2 FAT32 partitions, in particular 1gb?

When usink link2sd You should be using exFAT for the second partition and the first should be ext 2,3 or 4. Recommended ext2.

I'm also confused how you can possibly have a 31gb and 1gb partition on a 32gb sd card that will only yield 29gb at best.

Rather than link2sd maybe you should consider adoptable storage.
