Sadly, DNG (RAW) only appears to work on the main camera.

When you're in Pro mode, the wide-angle and telephoto lenses aren't available to shoot with.

It's frustrating that this is still a limitation. Perhaps Samsung are embarrassed about the RAW images from their telephoto?

Guess I'll be looking at the Mate P20 Pro which does allow DNG on all cameras :/
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nurps:
Maybe its working with third party apps? Are they any that allow to switch between cameras? ProShot maybe?

Are there any solutions? No way to have RAW pics with wide camera?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nogggin1:
It works in Hedgecam 2, apparently it works in open camera too though I couldn't work out out.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awojtas:
HedgeCam 2 only supports raw from the main sensor, not the wide or zoom sensors.

You can use HEIC on all sensors instead of JPG for possibly a very minor increase in colour fidelity when pushed but nothing like raw.

It's a shame that Samsung doesn't open it up. I do miss that feature from the p30 pro I had before, lots of creative possibilities in Lightroom. (the s10 takes better JPGs out of camera though)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperUser1010:
I currently have a S5, SM-G900V that was a pain in the ass to get it "rooted." Unfortunately, it has a lot of compatibility and phone issues: keyboard frequently crashes, OS crashes, constantly getting locked out of the SIM card so I can't listen to my voice mail on the phone, randomly lose service, most of my calls are dropped... Essentially, the only good thing so far is battery life, app comparability and texting works.

I currently looking for recommendations for a new phone to purchase in the next few months. It must be easy to root, have decent battery life and I don't want to spend more than 250. The cheaper the better... I was looking at the honor 7x/8x, anyone have experience with those?

All LG V30/V30+/V30S can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. While doing so,

you can also convert many to another model

. For instance, commonly can buy a Sprint LS998 V30+ (128GB), easily bootloader unlock, install TWRP, root as carrier unlocked open market US998 V30+. This can be used on any carrier.

Or buy US998 V30+ (but it's probably LS998 V30+ already converted)

$250 on eBay for new or "mint" condition.

There's also European/Middle East/Pacific variants if you need slightly different bands. EVERY V30/V30+/V30S can be bootloader unlocked and rooted.

LG V30/V30+

* 1440P OLED (537 ppi)

* superfast fingerprint sensor

* 64GB (V30) or 128GB (V30+) internal storage

* microSD port for additional storage

* bootloader unlock and root

* no notch

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
Gesundheit.

See specs above. See easy root capabilities requirement.

No Huawei or almost any other phone matches all hardware specs/premium features of the LG V30/V30+/V30S. Only Samsung Galaxy flagships do, and then you run into the easy root problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperUser1010:
What is the purpose or benefit of converting to another model? Like, what is the difference between a US998 and LS998? Also, what's your opinion on buying open box/renew/used? What should I be looking for if buying any of those?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
US998 is carrier unlocked. Converting Sprint LS998 to a carrier unlocked variant is the only way to carrier unlock the phone.

Also of the North America V30, only US998 has fastboot flash commands to bootloader unlock, install TWRP and root. So you have to temporarily convert to US998 anyway. After bootloader unlock and root, you can flash TWRP-FLASHABLE zip (ROM) based on STOCK KDZ to convert back to carrier firmware if you wish.

However many still stay on US998 as it's the official carrier unlocked V30 North America firmware.

You want V30+ (128GB) if possible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperUser1010:
Before I buy the phone. One thing I'm not understanding, the phone works with all carriers, correct? When I had my Galaxy S3, it was on the CDMA (sprint network) and wouldn't work with GSM network carriers. I have a Galaxy S5 now with a sim card, it is supposed to work with GSM carriers but not CDMA. If I wanted this phone to work on CDMA network, do I just not put in a sim card and it should work with sprint network? And if I wanted to go to t-mobile network, I just add a sim card to go to their network? Also, should the phone be coming with an IMEI and a MEID # to confirm it works with each carrier?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
The US998 has all the bands (GSM, CDMA, HSPA, LTE) to work with all North American carriers. It's the official carrier unlocked model for North America.

And what you described SHOULD happen, except Sprint demands you buy their locked down Sprint V30 LS998 to use on Sprint instead of the carrier unlocked US998. Sprint will not authorize any other LG V30 on their network except Sprint-branded LS998.

But others use US998 on T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, their MVNOs, Canadian carriers, etc. Blame Sprint.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] snanahmd:
Hi ...

I have a galaxy note 8 (N950F/DS). It recently got updated to One UI(Pie) 9.0 and i have been using it for almost 2 weeks now. As much as i love some of the new features. I hate the ugly icons and too much rounded everything, plus they've removed some very useful features and customization is very limited. So I am looking to downgrade to oreo which i loved everything about. But the problem is when i select my region it shows like a ton of firmware options and now i am getting confused as to which firmware to use, i'll attach a screenshot below. I know i have to stay with bootloader v5 but i have a dual sim phone does software control dual sim features or is it the same in every firmware ? Also i can't remember the firmware build of oreo that i had, is there a way to find that out ??

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Use the last oreo build 5CSA1. Backup first as you'll need to factory reset or use the csc file (which will delete data!)

Before you do that try Good Lock out and you know you can change icons through Samsung theme store?

edit:

Oh there is no separate firmware for n950F/DS and N950F. They are the same firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] snanahmd:
Thanks for your reply.

Can you please tell what will be the difference in all these builds ?? i vaguely remember that maybe i had the CRJ1 build.

I know about the theme store but i in general much preferred the samsung experience aesthetics and also some features that were removed i might jump back if this UI is improved going ahead.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frei6:
I've read that some Android devices have recovery partitions that are quite large e.g. 250MB.

That's enough to put an entire tiny Linux distribution in there.

So my question is, has anyone worked on creating a recovery image that actually serves as an alternate operating system rather than Android?

There already exist many live Linux CDs that are as small as 250MB.

In a pinch, one could create an OS image that is less than 10MB.

Maybe my understanding of Android phones is incomplete though so if someone can explain where I might be wrong then I'd appreciate any help.

I wonder if this method could even be used to test out the Fuchsia kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] DRAGON JOEY:
Hello everyone, I have a question, I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy A6 from AT&T. I had the "infamous" Samsung Note 7. I was one of the few lucky people that was able to keep his Note 7 after the recall due to having 2 at the time and Samsung not being fully aware of it. I was able to continue preventing the update for over one year and the phone worked perfectly throughout all this time. Unfortunately I accidentally tapped on the "install" button and was unable to prevent the update from there on which caused my phone to die once the charge depleted. Due to this I had to purchase a new phone which took me to purchasing the Galaxy A6. I had my Note 7 set to be able to use the mobile hotspot for free as I work on the road and need access to the internet at all times so having a restriction on the amount of gigs I can use as a hotspot is really making a huge whole in my wallet. I would like to know if someone knows how I can unlock the mobile hotspot on the A6 as I had it with my Note 7 so that I am no longer limited to only 15 gigs. Please help I will be eternally grateful.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] MxZeal:
Hey I'm on Linageos 16 (which is no longer supported)

And I didn't receive any February security patch (or January for that matter) so I'm thinking about removing the rom, getting the patch then flashing Havoc rom

But I'm not always up to the date with the android world (only when I'm about to do a change)So my question is how do I do this safely?

Do I just do a full system backup on titan restore (or apps only?) Wipe my device... set it up on stock os to install the patch then install Havoc Rom then restore titan backup?

If there's any important steps I'm missing or if you recommend another way It would be extremely helpful.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I'm having troubles recently with my Wizard. I am running TNT.19199 Rom. First of all, seems tyhe touch sensors on the phone don't seem to respond as quickly anymore.

1- Also, sometimes, the volume on the phone goes dead. Which means I cannot hear the ringers and when I press the buttons. Although I can hear the conversation. At this point, I have to restart the phone to get it to work.

2- I've been having problems with bluetooth lately. Is there some sort of patch to remedey that problem?

3- Sometimes people cannot hear me clearly on the other end of the conversation...

4- I'm still trying to find the programm that turns my SD card into a virtual Hard drive for the phone. I know you guys are telling it doesn't exist but I'm not making up what I saw back in January. Maybe it has to do with a prgram called Ramldr. Anyone know how it works? Much appreciated.

Thanks guys!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] S.V.I:
most of your glitches may be solved by a rom change. try flashing a different rom. try some other rom.

the program you may be looking for is "WM5torage". this program will turn your phone's card into a virtual flash drive on the computer. run it, and connect the phone to the pc via usb.

unless you are lookig for ramdisk which turns part of your ram into a hard drive (not very usefull as these phones dont have enough ram as is.

Bluetooth issues: just about all of the 6.1s have these issues. look for a rom that has the least ammount of bluetooth "extras" as possible.

TOUCH: touch scroling is available on just about every rom these days. most people have different sensitivity settings. you can change these settings in the registry. search the wiki.

LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT:

since your issues relate to a specific rom, keep the complaints on that thread. If you can't get help there then flash a different rom. there is a new TNT rom out here, try that one. or the slim 6.1 or any other rom that has good reviews. read the whole tread before flashing so that you can make an inteligent descision about flashing the thing or not. (I hope I don't come off rude, just trying to be helpfull)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Cphil1:
About the Drive...

Thanks SVI,

But you're missing my point. I'm not looking for my ram to become hard disk space, nor am I looking to turn my phone into an external HD for my computer. I'm looking to turn my SD card into Internal HD! 4 months now and I'm still certain there is a way. Back in January when I had gotten this phone, I saw a program capable in doing that.

This is no longer a search but has turned into a quest for all those that doubt this even exists...

Anyways, I'll be looking into a rom change at this point. But I've grown really fond of tnt.19199 since it's been the most reliable rom to date!

Phil
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Cphil1:
A little more...

Okay, I'm 1 step closer...

Not totally there, but I found this info for Nokia phones. I suppose it's for symbian OS.

What this dioes is boot from MMC card which in turn gives you the liberty to load as much stuff as you want on the phone. The MMC card acts as the internal memory and not just storage card.

http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howto_easily_boot_from_mmc_card/

By the way, I read up on WM5torage. Is it possible to tweak this prgram to work in favor of the pda instead of the computer?? What if the pda read the sd card as internal memory instead of the computer attached???

Just an idea...

I haven't been able to find any descriptions of the Sand variants color materials. For instance, the Indigo Black has a matte finish that's coated with a rubberized substance. Apparently, this coating does wear off due to wear and tear or heavy usage. The White variant is a smoother "non-rubberized coated" finish. What about the Sand?

I'm thinking about getting the Sand variant but won't if it'll suffer the peeling that the Indigo Black variant does over time.

Thanks in advance for whoever can provide firsthand accounts of the Sand color materials.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madbat99:
Over time, lol. It's pretty old already bud. Years. Its considered EOL. Get the one you like. It will suffer hardware failure long before the outside wears
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggietm:
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I've just been frustrated with the lack of budget friendly Android tablets. N9 looked good. Researched some more and saw that the Indigo Black variant has that peeling problem, so I thought I'd get the white and then came across the sweet looking Sand color. But, I bit the bullet on a used Galaxy Tab S2 8", instead. Good thing I checked LineageOS support before pulling the trigger on an N9 (it lost support). I'm just in the market for a smallish tablet to consumer media on my long commutes to and from work.

And yeah, I was well aware of the hardware problems/sluggish performance of the N9, but I wanted to see for myself if I could ROM it and just use it lightly. Again, I'm fortunate I saw that N9 is mostly EOL also in the "official (not unofficial) ROMs" community.

Thanks again.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madbat99:
You're right about lineage ending being a bummer. The unofficial builds are being made by the original lineage rom maintainer for n9 (I believe). So that's a plus.

I have a black one, and now a white one.

The black one was first, I got it used. Dirty unicorns was a lifesaver for it back in the lollipop days. I never really had too much performance complaints because I really only used it for media. Either movies I already had downloaded or streaming from my home cable TV (dish Network).

I did, however, start to get the bubbles in the corners of the screen. And the wierd white parts of the display along the edges. Both very common complaints on n9. Also, since I used an otg adapter to play movies from (some movies are big files), the USB port stopped working reliably. Wouldn't charge most of the time. Luckily, the USB daughterboard can usually be found online for 10 - 15 dollars u.s. and only took about 15-20 minutes to replace. But it happened again over time (my fault).

Then an XDA member offered theirs to the first taker for only the cost of shipping. About $15. That's my white one. This one has the issue of the load noise and distorted screen when the battery gets below 40%. Not every time, and hasn't done it since I thoroughly cleaned the battery connection. I expected it to have one of the common issues, and have no complaints at all for that price. Especially since cleaning it seems to have fixed it for now. It's been a few months and it's been fine.

I still use it almost daily. And since the tv in my bedroom is acting up, my wife uses it to watch TV in bed sometimes.

So I have really enjoyed my n9 experience, even though I got a couple of the more common hardware issues.

I'm probably going to order another USB daughterboard for my black one and give it to my wife. Or, since I gave her my Nexus 7 (2013) when I got the 9, and it sits on a shelf now, maybe pass it to an XDA member the way I got my white one.

Anyways, sorry to babble on like that. Glad you got a tablet that suites your needs. It is getting harder to find a decent Android tablet these days. I couldn't bring myself to get one of those Amazon fire tabs, no matter how cheap they get. Almost got one once. But... Naaahhh.
