[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] a-Rcky:
I have both, s8+ and Note 8. I first got the s8+ and was really happy with the quality of the pictures. then I got the Note 8 expecting to be able to get even better ones, but outcome was totally different. Actually the Note 8 pictures come out really out-focused and burry, even with a lot of noise in comparison with the pictures I've taken with the s8+. I'm really disappointed with that problem I'm having with the Note8 as I was expecting it to be my main device. Is there someone who's experiencing the same problem with the Note8? Does anyone know if there is any solution to this?

Any comment or help will be really appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] rbeavers:
I have to try real hard to take a burry picture, I would get it exchanged.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] a-Rcky:
Thanks... I was afraid that was the solution. Will do so. I'm glad tho to know I was the only one and not that all the devices had the same issues that mine has, so I can just exchange it for another one and everything is going to be fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] a-Rcky:
UPDATE:

I exchanged my note 8 for a new one. Surprise it's still has the same problem (with the camera taking blurry and noisy pictures). That compared to others Note8's and my own S8+

Came to realize something. My S8 is the F version (International) which has a different CPU and GPU than the U version (US). Is the same with the Note8. the F and the U versions have different CPUs and GPU's. Maybe the different GPU is what's doing the difference by processing the image differently. What do you guys think?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] AndroidFantic:
Definitely think it's just a US problem which I hope is fixed soon. I switched from iPhone to the note 8 and the camera is making me regret this decision

I live in Sweden and i have a Note 8, F version (sm-n950f) same problem, noisy and griny pictures.

much worse than my old phone galaxy S7 edge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] toohey503:
Yeah my note 8(U) prints are worthless! I spent years talking with an online Samsung rep., and I wish they could refund me the time and energy I wasted with him. Although, i found it I send the pic to my printer via email the printer is substantially better. But still not nearly as crisp as any of my other devices (moto play z, galaxy S6). ...im really hoping they release an update?, offe any kind of solution as I have a daughter ...and I require a lot of amazing pictures!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] km8j:
Does the phone support the native Android backup and restore including sms, apps, etc
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mhaha:
There are two types of backups available, one by Sony and one by Google. Not sure what you mean by "native Android".

Sony's backup and restore can backup SMS and apps in addition to contacts, call log, home screen settings, system settings, and calendar.

Google's backup includes app data, call logs, system settings, Google calendar, Google contacts, and SMS. The only option is to backup to Google Drive, unlike Sony's where you can choose to backup locally to the SD card, an external USB device, or to Sony's cloud service.

I should mention from past experience that I've had varying degrees of success in restoring from Sony's backup feature. Sometimes it'll hang at 50% indefinitely, sometimes only some options can be restored successfully, other times it works perfectly.

I recommend you use both services unless you have some particular beef with your data being stored on Google's servers.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Oblox:
I've tested both and Googles doesn't ever seem to back up SMS but all the other bits are fine (and restore fine).

Sony's definitely is a bit out of date I think as it has trouble backing up lots of the bits and even fails on app backups sometimes.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ewingr:
I think I'm going nuts. I am finding my Tilt to be in vibrate mode, but then I check the settings, and it is in fact set to ring. A soft reset and it rings.

Also, I have found that sometimes if I have the blue tooth on, but not synched to anything, I notice a call coming in, it not ringing, and I see the earphone icon at top of ringing screen. It thinks it is connected to a BT device.

Anyone else experienceing this?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] lordyamis:
Same issue as well, guessing you fixed it by letting the battery turn itself off?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] reukiodo:
I don't think the Bixby button needs to be held down. Just VolumeDown+Power resets my Note8 in ~10s.

I inadvertently got my phone into upload mode when it pressed against something in my pocket. Resetting the power with VolDwn+Pwr was the only way I got out of it.

Happened twice, once while set down once while charging. No buttons ever being accidentally pressed in any way. Mine is rooted using samFAIL, is yours or any one else's rooted as well?

Initially thought it was because of being rooted now I am beginning to wonder if this happens on stock units. If so then sam is a BIG " Fail"ure

Neither Note8 that I have are rooted yet, so it happens on stock also.

This works. Just HDR seems bugged.

If really any raw might be required for that, but I'm not sure who'd be the source for this info, considering initial port had the latter but not the former working.

My bet would be on some customization Sony does on the ISP/DSP.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iamvashisht:
Hey guys.. I know this z ultra thread is almost dead and i might not get help, but i am gonna give it a try anyway.

So the story is.. last year i kept my xperia z ultra in my laptop bag and after half an hour when i checked the screen had a little line(crack) in the middle of the screen from one end to the other.

The phone turns on. I can see the display but it doesnt recognise my touches. and it randomly keeps on launching apps and touching screen here and there.

I would like to ask what exactly went wrong here.

some of my friends had this phone and their's were working even after cracked screens.

Can i replace the screen? and is it worth spending on this phone now?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lilracerboi:
I had the same thing happen to me over 2 years ago. I finally got around to fixing it, because I was weary of bad LCD screens and I wanted to do it on the cheap.

I bought one from AliExpress and can confirm it is an OEM LCD panel. Only $36. Arrived in 3 weeks and it works like it did before, minus the waterproofing of course. In fact, this seller is all about OEM, good place for other devices as well.

Here is the link (I can't post links right now so it needs to be copied): goo.gl/et1vd6

I'd say it's worth it. It makes for a good backup phone and mini tablet for when you don't want to bring a tablet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
WOW that is cheap! To bad its not available anymore..

If I buy a new phone and this is no longer my primary phone I might change the screen and frame!

My chassis is cracked in half both at the sim slot due to its being so thin there and at the ear plug.

And my usb port is is not working cause of pin 1 that came loose that I soldered once but it came loose again so I ordered a new connector to be replaced completely.

The pins has started to move around due to wear in the plastic inside the connector so when I connect a usb cable it will tweak the pin back and forth until it breaks loose of the solder point.

And my earplug needs to be replaced due to 3.5mm plug comes out to easy but thats easy.

I have a question. How did you remove the battery?

I probably need to flip the motherboard upside down for the usb port that requires the battery to come out first.

I tried to break the glue underneath but the battery started to deform and bend just slightly and I'm worried the battery might burst into flames.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] lilracerboi:
Man, your Ultra has gone through a lot!

Dang, didn't think they'd go out of stock. Pretty much the only online seller I trusted, because they compare OEM displays with fakes.

As for the battery, I don't remember how I got it out. I took it apart over a year ago when I bought a non-OEM display, so the adhesive was already loose. If you're in a situation where the screen is not working, you could just heat up the front to take the screen off and heat the body where the battery is, that way you're not putting heat directly on the battery.

Just be careful about the connector, especially if it's still plugged in.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IGnoTon:
If it's Z Ultra we are talking about - you unscrew 4 screws on each corner and pry battery from the right side with a plastic tool. It has two adhesive strips on both left and right side.

Though you don't need to take the battery out if you want to replace the screen, the connectors are at the bottom and accesible with just the metal cover removal.

By the way the reason why touch stops working the moment your screen cracks is because the capacitive layer is integrated into the glass, and when it breaks the connection is severed and no longer working. It is a shame, and the glass on this particular phone is very fragile, I suggest putting a tempered glass protector on it, so far mine holds up fine with it.

If you don't want to go thru hassle of repairing it and looking for a new device: the Z5 or XZ premium I think are best options of the sony side as the XA Ultra gives midrange experience at best.

On the same screen size id give S8+ or Note 8 a shot, they look promising.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Thank you. I had trouble locating where the glue strips are so I kind of felt my way where there was something sticky but didn't make much progress.

I got one corner out but then I gave up.

Since a few years I use tempered glass back and front. They are a lifesaver! Not very cheap but worth every penny.

I'm not sure if I'm going to take my phone apart for the tenth time or so..its very fiddly to solder this tiny usb connector.

Atm i'm using the magnetic cable and a phone case so it stays in place but I'm working on a "workaround" with my old battery case with two 18awg cables soldered to the dock pins (cause I hit current limit with thinner awg) and ordered a dip to micro usb board to solder these cables onto.

So the case only contains a strait path from the usb port to the dock connector on the battery case.

The idea is If the port brakes I ware out the dip board instead of the internal usb port when charging.

Easy maintance and low cost of replacement parts. Ten dip boards for 1 usd vs 2 usd for three internal usb ports.

And I don't have to worry about the magnetic dock cable coming loose all the time.

I started to look for a new device a month ago. Its showing its age.

I'll continue writing in the other thread..so we don't go too off topic.

[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jaws4God:
can I ask what your main reason(s) for rooting and going to another ROM was ?

Thanks!
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joe199799:
I went to WETA for customization and the aroma installer had a bunch of stuff I could choose from, rooting in general it's just something I've been doing since my first Android phone, I'm amazed at what I can do with basically complete control, as I say to my friends that don't know what root is, if I want to do something I more than likely can, music didn't sound good enough to me so I installed viper4android music sounds amazing and I couldn't go back to stock, I wanted my battery to last longer so I installed greenify to force doze when I turn my screen off so I can get iPhone levels of standby drain, also it's just something fun to do there's always new stuff going on, Xposed just got released officially a few days ago and I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jaws4God:
yeah I would love to be able to force DOZE and also use Greenify to help preserve battery.. but nervous what features i'd lose going away from stock... does everything still function? or did you loose things like 2nd screen, or camera quality etc ?

Yeah i had started with the VS995 Verizon variant when I first went to the V20.. but after we switched to MetroPCS (via TMobile service).. I noticed that without all of the GSM bands.. my connection was HORRIBLE.. plus I did not have the WIFI calling / SMS features... so I switched to the H918 variant... SO Glad I did.. love the knowledge I could unlock my bootloader.. and it seems to have some of the default features that Verizon had locked out... IE FM Radio.. etc..

right now i'm on the 10q software.. so not sure if i'm locked out of anything or if thats still able to root / unlock and flash safely.
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Joe199799:

I know a lot of the Nav Bar tweaks didn't work for me and I stayed away from most of the Status bar tweaks (except for Battery Bar). Some things will work and some things won't but as rule of thumb try not to double tweak so if WETA has it don't use it. Make sure to backup before trying tweaks (of any kind) so that if you get a very bad result you have a life line.
