[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] numa_aqours:
I'm using Xperia XZ1 Compact SO-02K (Japanese docomo model) unlocked bootloader via qUnlockTool.

I installed some custom ROMs like LineageOS 18.1, Havoc OS 4.8, 3.11.

Any ROMs doesn't go to deep sleep so the battery drain is so bad. I installed Android 11 ROMs and 10 ROMs, but both not working deep sleep.

Anyone know good solutions?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mugenXperia:
Hi,

great to see some other user from Japan with the SO-02K. I also recently installed a custom rom and had the same issues as you. The source is the NFC chip. Unfortunately the Japanese version have a different chip/driver because of the Felica services here (Felica was here in Japan well before Google was even thinking to integrate NFC in Android, so nobody to blame here, beside Google, not Sony.)

Anyway the fix is a bit ugly. However, there is help:

Download this image from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-lineageos-18-1-unofficial-2-0-update-2021-01-20.4047763/

Yes, this and only this. I know it has not been updated anymore, but the reason comes below.

Please check out this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/fixed-xz1-au-sov36-japan-deepsleep-on-g8341-custom-roms.4156209/

It is about the XZ1 AU version but it also applies to the compact. I summarize here to make the post complete:

Either you root the phone, which I did not do because I do not need root for anything and with root, some of my app do not work, like Spotify. So I recommend to do those steps in the TWRP. Simply mount all the partitions and go to the file manager under advanced options.

Go to folder: /vendor/lib/modules

and delete or rename file call pn553.ko

Restart your phone and it will go to deep sleep. Otsukaresama.

Now, why only this image. Because it uses the older NFC library. In all other images, this fix this not apply anymore, as the modules are not at that place. I really would appreciate if someone more experienced can point me to the nfc module drives in any newer LineageOS image.

PS: Of course NFC will never work with a custom rom (without trying yourself to find out how to make it work)

Best
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] numa_aqours:
Thanks for good solutions!

Actually, I couldn't find pn553.ko on the latest stock ROM(47.2.B.5.38), so I deleted all of NFC files in /Vendor (of cause I took /Vendor backup with TWRP.). The deepsleep little works (please check attached picture) but the battery drain is better than before.

Thanks anyway!

I recently bought a one plus to root off of ebay. The seller had great reviews and accepts free returns. After unboxing it I discover the screen doesnt respond to any touch. Ive force rebooted several times yet still no response. The phone was supposedly used as a store demo so maybe that has something to do with it? Just wondering if anybody knew of a quick fix before i send it back. I dont think this person would scam me and im new to android so im hoping im just missing an obvious solution.

I am trying to flash to stock/global firmware from T-Mobiles. I have already unlocked the bootloader but I am confused on what to do next. Some people say all you need to do is flash the system and boot images. But when i try to flash the system it says unknown partition. If I try to flash everything it says Critical partitions can not be flashed and I dont know how to unlock them, fastboot flashing unlock_critical is an unknown command. Please help!

Ive progressed a bit and decided to use MSM Download Tool. Although I cant seem to get into EDL mode. My phone is bricked so i cant use adb, and fastboot commands dont seem to be working. Ive tried button combinations but they just lead me either into recovery mode or fastboot mode.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] hendavi:
In fastboot, type fastboot reboot fastboot see whether can boot into fastbootd or not.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] FoxyDrew:
This is a very simple fix. You can boot into fastboot, do that again, and flash LineageOS Recovery while your there

Boot into recovery, choose advanced options, than enable ADB. Boom, now you can use ADB on your bricked phone.

The command you're looking for once there is "adb reboot edl"

Also a lot of the guides on how to convert to Global either use broken methods, or link to the wrong files.

the Idea is that can an application been added to let me dial using my voice by numbers:

for example:

I talk to my phone and it dials ( Zero, Zero, nine, six, one, three, four, five, four, six, six, six)

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
I'm so disappointed in the photos from the telephoto lenses of this camera. Even at 1x, there is so much noise in every photo, even in outdoors on a sunny day everything looks like an oil painting. Did they give me a faulty device because I got a student discount (costed $1360 AUD 256GB) is this a common issue? Pretty disappointed with the camera of this "flagship" phone...

The photos are 1x, 1x cropped, 10x and 19x zoom.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I'm not seeing an issue.

The last one looks like cam shake and/or a bad AF lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
The thing is even when holding still taking photos the post processing always oversharpens it and makes it noisy
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Digital zoom sucks but look at the size of the optics. It's no L70-200 f/2.8 IS telephoto!

Shooting RAW will get rid of that... or at least you can with post editing.

Samsung doesn't have good photo editing tools, that pisses me.

My stupid S4 had a better photo editor than my 10+ which has none. WTF?

Maybe I'm missing something... probably not🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
That's fair but I wish they didn't oversharpen every photo, it would look much better like gcam does a way better job
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That cam should be better than my 10+.

The 10+ does an excellent job, but digital zoom is not one of them.

Close the distance. Know the limitations of the camera; see the world as it does and your photos will improve immensely.

Even with pro equipment this is true.

Look at the stunning photos grabbed over a century plus ago with very limited technology.

A good camera helps but in the end it's more about who's shooting.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thanito:
I totally agree with the OP, the S21U camera is definitely not a 2021 flagship camera. 10x zoom softens the image like crazy (everything becomes hazy & lacks of contrast) and the noise in all cameras is too much, especially in low light conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
I recommend you try Snapseed app (free, owned by Google), have look on YouTube for videos on Snapseed and you'll see how good it is at editing photos
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Snapseed is indeed a great editor!

And all of you guys who are hating on the ZOOM cameras of the phone, ya'll just don't understand how lenses and cameras work in general, that's why the s21U cams annoy you. Especially in low light... It is absolutely normal and it is still better than anything else at this size and functionality.

The fact that you have this kinda photo power in a phone in 2021 is in it self amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BaltazarIX:
In general I think that S21 Ultra have most versatile camera setup in market (at least at the moment when I've ordered phone), but sometimes I've had that feeling that details are not the best e.g. when zooming some photos. I guess it's exynos thing, because details are better on snapdragon versions.

BTW I'm happy to see so many Orient owners.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
I did a video comparing the S20u vs S21u cameras and it's VERY subjective. Some of the shots on the S20u are better, some on the S21u are better, but all in all, they both don't compare to an actual camera, yet still blow away any other phone by comparison.

The biggest downfall I see is when people bash on the zoom lens, saying it's grainy.. and it's like.. yeah.. can any other phone out there even come close to a focal range this thing has? It's still a further reach zoom than anything else regardless of quality which is only improving between the S20u and S21u when it comes to zoom.

Which you can see that the image processing on the zoom lens out of the box on the S21u is worse than the S20u, but the clarity at further reach on the s21u pulls ahead over the s20u
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thanito:
Sorry, but I strongly disagree with you. I have been shooting with slrs and dslrs for decades, also owning numerous lenses, so I guess I know a bit about photography hardware. Yet again, I am not comparing apples to oranges, namely dslr quality with S21U quality, but instead comparing S21U quality with my 2020 p40 pro photos and believe me there is a HUGE gap over there. The p40 pro was a 2020 flagship and it's photo quality is miles ahead the S21U in various aspects, the most important being low light performance in all cameras, as well as zoom quality etc. Had the p40 pro not been a deal breaker due to no GMS (huawei USA ban etc), I would not change the device for the S21U. I did know though that there would of been a small downgrade in photo quality when I decided to switch to S21U, yet hoped for a good trade off with the 10x zoom instead of 5x, as well as a true uw lens, as compared to the merely uw on the p40 pro (18mm only), but we are talking about a huge difference over here in terms of quality,i mean, even my previous p20 pro which was a 2018 device was capturing much more detail in low light, yet still noise free.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
When I spoke of cameras and lenses, it is because I too have such tech and like photography.

And honestly, the Huawei just seems to have a different post-processing. Which amps up the "structure" a bit and makes things appeared deeper and more detailed. But that's just my 2 cents. Maybe I am wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lukeaddison:
I went from an Oppo Find X2 Pro to the S21 Ultra and also very disappointed with the camera. All the reviews basically said the S21 Ultra had the best cameras.

From current experience, the photo quality isn't a patch on what my old phone could capture.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I've realised over time that reviews are overrated. Every flagship is crowned the best every year by most tech reviewers. It's just business. It's only users who are reliable reviewers. I've come from a OnePlus 6, so for me the camera is a massive upgrade and I'm happy. But it may not be the same for other users. Only way to know for sure is to try out the phone yourself (from someone who has the device) before buying it. Unfortunately most of us buy devices at launch based on reviews... and there's always a divide between what the tech gurus say and what the end users feel. Tech reviews are a huge money spinner for these so called 'influencers' and I guess they have successfully influenced a lot of new customers 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] beserker15:
I'm going to disagree with you too. Even if you ignore reviews that have pitted the two devices together, there are plenty of pictures online in Flickr from the P40 Pro and photos from the telephoto out of that are pretty mediocre. The main camera on the P40 Pro has a bigger sensor and less pixel binding compared to the S21U so it isn't crazy to see that it does a little better in low light. There are still plenty of noise reduction smudges out of the P40 Pro as well.

Telephoto example:

https://flic.kr/p/2myZGkH
Solid composition, but plenty of sharpening and noise reduction.

Lower light example:

https://flic.kr/p/2m7PgZQ
1/33 second at ISO 800 isn't actually too low light but there's smudging of details here too. It's a good photo but not significantly better than what the S21U can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thanito:
The processing seems indeed a bit different, but the fact that I have not experienced noise in low light conditions with previous huawei devices (not only night but even in indoor shots during daytime, or high contrast shots), shows the difference in the software /algorithms between the two companies.

As above, I am not saying that the p40 pro was perfect, but the images were much better noise-wise and of course in respect of the details captured in low light; yes, the sensor size difference is assisting, but even the whole processing was much better and MUCH faster than the S21U.

I understand that you owned a p40 pro, so I guess you must have noticed how much information the sensor was able to obtain in extremely low lighting conditions. I was able to capture things in a blacked out room, whereas in the Samsung I am just getting a black image.

One minor observation re the samples attached in your last post, the night shot was taken by a p40 not a p40 pro.

Finally, I have noticed that the snapdragon version gives much more pleasing results compared to the exynos, to my eyes at least.

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I see endless phone cam reviews but few that mean much. Things like the digital grey scale depth specs (20, 24, 32 bit?) and lense blur testing.

No blur testing... a waste of my time!

I've owned pro cams and lens. Comparing the best phone cam lense to a Canon L50 f/1.2 is a sick joke. The L50 blows it away.

A good phone camera is cool but not the primary reason I buy a phone. Even though the new phones seem to decimate my N10+ spec wise, in real life usage the 10+/P,Q is far more usable, versatile... superior.

In my opinion both Android (R is a flaming wreck at this point) and Samsung dropped the ball this year.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Just out of curiosity, have you been using the standard mode in low light with the s21u, or have you been snapping dark environments with NIGHT mode?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That be the beast. I had the first version. Excellent flare control made otherwise impossible shots doable. It is a demanding lense that some found hard to handle. It was my favorite low light lense and when used correctly would grab incredible shots.

The L70-200 f/2.8 IS was my favorite though, shot wide open it was sublime. You could shoot subjects backlit by the setting sun and grab stunning images. No phone optics can touch that beauty.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thanito:
Both, depending on how I want the final photo to look like.

Just to be fair, what I do like in the S21U as compared to the p40 pro is that in the p40 pro you had to shoot in manual mode in order to get contrasty shots especially in low light, since it was always brightening everything while processing, whereas the S21U does not change the exposure when shooting in normal mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
The Samsung shoots RAWs in pro mode only I believe. Obviously this is the best choice for low light.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thanito:
Yes, correct, but when you shoot raw you have to spend a lot of time in post processing so for quick snaps normal mode is an easier option. The other negative on this device (exynos) is that the telephoto lenses are not available in pro mode, even though I have read that they are in snapdragon versions
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rcastroc59:
Yes, man, but... that's 1.500€! so much as the whole S21Ultra! and weights about 600g, three times S21Ultra! and only has 1 focal distance, 50 mm... Yes it is near perfect in optical quality, but... you get the point?

I have a Nikon D7000 DSLR ; and a 35 mm 1.4 prime; and a 80 mm 1.8 prime, and the zoom kit lens 18-105... and when I go out with my equipment the bag weights around 2 kg... You get the point? Obviously can't compare DSLR and S21U! And the same for quality image... But for its size, its functionality, its weight, and its price, I think the S21U is a marvelous equipment.

Cheers, and enjoy any camera you have... all them are very very fun!

Excuse my poor English.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
There's no good including photo editing software from Samsung, even my stupid S4 had better editing software😳

RAWs are what they are; up to 3 full f/stops of exposure or WB correction plus more possible options.

Not to be taken lightly when you absolutely, positively must stick the grab...😎
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Exactly. Don't expect impossible perfomance from a puny optic system.

Every lense and cam have limitations. As a shooter your mission is to know them and work within those boundaries effectively.

See as the camera does, not as your eyes do...

One of the deficiencies of the light weight phone cams is their light weight🤣 The higher the mass, the more stable it is and easier to control within reason. A 5# pro cam/lense is far easier to hold still than a 200 gm phone.

Add to that handgrips and a vastly superior interface/controls. There is no comparison.

Phones are convenient, small and most times a true pain to shot with. I lose a lot of keepers with the phone. Whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thanito:
True, but let me go back to my p40 pro comparison.. The night shots of that phone were capturing things that could never be captured by a dslr and even a f1.4 lens at crazy high iso, always talking handheld snaps. And there comes the software/processing algorithms into play. Yes, sure, the optical quality of a dslr and a fast lens are way superior, but without tripod they can barely take a shot comparable to a smartphone, for they require slow shutter speeds to capture light, thus need a tripod or the like.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
With the newest ones I doubt that. Last ones I shot with were from 11 years ago.

The phone doesn't have near the processor power to complete with that of a PC for post processing. Add to that the sensor array in the the pro cams are many times larger with micro lens per pixel. Much more light gather area from start to finish.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thanito:
I agree, but I am talking about the snap result on the camera/phone per se, not post processing on a pc. You may be right about the latest gen dslrs, since the last one I bought was a Nikon D610 and I have never shot in auto mode but only in M/A/S modes, yet again I don't think that the new dslrs do that heavy processing as mobile phones automatically do right after the shot, nor that they have "night" mode, which itself does wonders by shooting multiple shots and giving a final, shake-free result. Of course, should I ever need to take some good quality shots for prints, I would only use my dslr 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I could find the white papers for the lastest Canons but I'm not in the market for one.

Rather pointless to squabble about it but the phones likely aren't as capable for low light shooting for a number of reasons.

Heat is always the enemy of low light detection/amplification as it drives up the background noise floor. It's physically harder to isolate the sensor from internal heat sources in a phone than a pro cam which is a big metal heatsink.

Phones have severely cut into the pro cam market. This has several implications, none that are good for pro cams or their users.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rcastroc59:
When I go hunting, photographically speaking, I can take my 2kg+ of Nikon equipment... but my mobile is always with me, in my pocket; it does not attract attention, it does not look like an object of theft, I do not hang it from a chair and leave it forgotten ... a phone has its advantages. No, it cannot compete with a good dedicated and specific photographic equipment, but it is an excellent tool for capturing images on the fly, and of remarkable quality in many cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
For people shooting, the bigger, more visible the cam and you are, the better... it works.

I want people to know I'm shooting, sort of not hiding in plain sight.

For critters shooting small can be better if you're close to them.

Unlike a phone, a pro cam with L70-200 makes a good weapon if need be. Never had any issues on the street...

Built to give a beating and keep on clicking🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Bill720:
Samsung is well known for good camera hardware being hampered by laughably bad camera software (aggressive oversharpening and debilitating de-noise). If you want to get good photos out of your Samsung, find a functional port of the Google Camera app. The difference is dramatic and eye-opening.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] wilecoyote2:
Absolutely. However, the fact that Samsung blocks RAW capture for the tele lenses is a real dealbreaker here....
