Hi Guys

I was testing out the camera on my Fuze last night in

complete

darkness in my room. So i put the flash on, and started snapping some pictures. What I started to notice was that there was this halo on the right side of the screen. I quickly figured out that this was from the LED light hitting the back casing and bouncing back into the camera lens! I removed the back of the Fuze, and snapped another picture. The differences are AMAZING! THe following pictures have the exact same settings and everything, one was just taken with the back on and with without the back on.

Check it out!

With Back On = http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/votum3/IMAG0022.jpg

Without Back On = http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/votum3/IMAG0020.jpg
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] respider:
I guess my pictures dont have this halo as stated here http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a60/votum3/IMAG0022.jpg

or at least not that strong

NExt problem is how to solve that without removing back casing? Maybe impossible ;(

Nice find! THanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
Thanks. The only thing that I was considering was some type of jacket that goes around the flash that plugs the space between the back casing and the flash. But I'm not exatly sure how I could do that...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nkawtg:
You can modify your case by putting a dark piece of material in the case to separate the light form the camera lens.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
Yea I was thinking maybe some of that black foam type stuff with the adhesive on the back thats often used on electronics would work great.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tvos:
maybe it is a ORB..:)

tvos
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
ROFL :D:D:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
Yea after I took the picture my camera was actually taken by a spirit and thrown across the room. I tried to get it back but to no avail...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] o2xdaexec:
whats needed is to make the hole that little bit bigger
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Loco5150:
In my opinon HTC should leave the camera out from these business models, lower the price and make them smaller in size or something...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bpm2000:
id rather they make them actually usable like some nokia or sony models myself. i love not having to carry around a separate camera as long as the phone camera is up to snuff.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] smithtec:
A small square of felt between them ought to do the trick.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brendo:
dont have that problem :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tvos:
leaving out the camera is like limiting the device of what it can REALLY do. true, many business's state no camera phones on site, simple solution find another job..:) j/k have two devices one w/wo camera..

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
Yesterday I had send a document to a coworker, and I used my Pro to take a picture.

Last month I had to e-mail a bank receipt while on the go, guess what I did?

So yes, the camera is important for business use, and I would never buy a phone without it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brendo:
exactly - so much easier than writing stuff down :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
I'm a service tech....and use the camera to snap pictures of goofy stuff I see

on machines, and sometimes mail them to the tech support center. I've always

been told a picture is like 1000 words... ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tvos:
last week I caught my spouse cheating on me finally and took pictures with my diamond pro... so yes, it is good for business, especially when you can give it to your attoryney for grounds of divorce..:)

tvos

ps. just kidding - having fun with this topic! hehhe
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cincy1020:
If anyone tries this, or any other fix successfully, will you please post pics of your "repair"?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pandaboyy:
This has been discovered on the Kaiser forum a while ago already. But now that you mention it, i check the back cover and surprisingly, I haven't noticed until now that there is no protecting glasses in the holes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gacck:
Found I had the same problem, but I came up with a low tech fix. Seems the problem is created by reflection of the flash off the interior of the flash/lens cover which, in the case of the Fuze, is silver. I took out my black magic marker and made the interior of the flash/lens cover black. Problem solved...no more reflection!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Loco5150:
Exactly... If the camera would be as good as maybe in SE phones it would make more sence.

Yes I also took a picture of a document a month ago with my TP, but I use my Ixus weekly... Get my point?

If removing a poor quality camera would mean cheaper or smaller device, Im pretty sure there would be a lot of people looking to get that device instead.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mikeeey:
no... NOOO!! not again!! another phone where you need to remove the back cover for a good picture??
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TouchProHo:
I think the camera is essential to the digital Swiss army knife device ( Today's windows mobile phones ) that's how I see mine I take pictures because I don't want to write down long boring numbers like UPS tracking labels when I ship something out or take a picture of something I just could not describe or no one would believe, if I didn't email them the picture from my phone:) and now that you can scan bar codes with camera phones (Google G1) I think it is a business feature for sure more than ever...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] euphoria47:
It really works!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cableguy84:
Nice find!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] speed_pour:
I agree with TouchProHo, I think cameras are wildly useful in the phone. Even more so for me since I absolutely despise carrying around a camera (I find them annoying and always too bulky...seriously, we can fit one inside of our phones but we can't make a regular camera any smaller?). Too many different business reasons are starting to exist for having a camera built in, anything from barcode scanning, to making quick "copies" of information you need to have/keep, even to the extreme of using them for communication (never done this, but I have heard of a guy doing a field repair and sending pictures of the equipment back and forth with a tech). On a personal level, I just prefer having the camera since there's too many times where I need to catch a pic and going to the car to retrieve a camera would take too long.

I do also agree a bit with the other side of the coin. I think the camera does cost enough on the phone that it puts people off from the better phones out there. I would like to see phones offered that are identical in all ways except without cameras. I wouldn't be buying one, but I know a lot of people would if it was going to mean the difference between spending $400 and $450.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Da_G:
Funny you would mention that, HTC has always made cameras optional.. both front and back :) indeed AT&T sells 2 versions of the fuze, one with cam and one without.. same for the tilt. But guess what! It's not a dime cheaper :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] y2whisper:
yeah this is a different scenario because its not a stupid piece of plastic messing up the photo, which i assume htc figured out and fixed by not having it. this time its the flash that gets messed up by how the back cover is made.

thanks for the tip, will keep this in mind for the futrue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
Sweet find. I'll have to try that out tomorrow :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tk_berlin:
could u please upload a picture how to do it ,) thank ya

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] al czervik:
This method worked to add custom ringtones/notification sounds to the GW5 (as well as GW4) prior to the recent GW5 update AVK7:

https://xdaforums.com/t/add-custom-...-tones-is-it-possibile.4329323/#post-85615531

Stated in post #7, which is summed up here:

(1) use the wearables app to transfer the ringtone/notification in MP3 format to the watch.

(2) Then a file explorer to copy the ringtone to internal memory/ringtone and/or the notification to internal memory/notification

(3) Press and hold home button and select power off

(4) Press and hold home button to turn watch back on

(5) wait (even for a little after the watch has finished booting)

They then show up as a ringtone/notification but ONLY on the watch; you can't make the change on the phone as it doesn't see them in the wearables app.

Since the update any added mp3 files no longer show up in Settings>Sounds and Vibration>Ringtone list on the GW5. Any ideas as to why the update changed this behavior and what is a workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] pigglett:
Same here I posted in the Samsung forums about this too

HOW TO PUT CUSTOM RINGTONES AND NOTIFICATIONS ON TO A GALAXY WATCH4 CLASSIC LTE + BLUETOOTH :)

HI ALL -- THIS STILL DOES WORK BUT IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE RINGTONE -- PLS READ THE LAST POST'S FROM -> pq03icF, Marzmad and Gecks70 has done a very good step by step SORRY EVERYONE BUT AFTER THE LATEST UPDATE FROM ->SAMSUNG/GOOGLE.. THIS WILL NO LONGER WORK...

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] al czervik:
Really unhappy that Samsung breaks things that work fine. They did the same thing to me with my GW4 when Samsung pushed an os update that permanently bricked the watch.

SOB
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] pigglett:
Looks like only away to get on the GW5 at the moment is via ABD

https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/wyb8j7
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] al czervik:
Greatly appreciate this response. Thank you.

I have experience with ADB, but hesitate to use this method based on my previous experience with GW4 bricking after Samsung GVI3 update.

I know the two are not related, but I am spooked for now. May get the guts to try this at a later time.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Andykt76:
This worked great, thanks for the share
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] al czervik:
Nice to know this method works. Itching to try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] pigglett:
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

Grrr Samsung , they are slowly turning into Apple
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] mybikegoes200:
The ADB method no longer works - at least not in perpetuity. The second the watch resets (for any reason - 0% battery, force reset, reboot), the custom sound (whether ringtone, notification, or alarm) disappears and the default for the category is selected. With the ADB method above, I also noted that once you push the sound and update the system library that custom sound is still not visible or selected in the Wearable app.

In short - I concur with Pigglett - Samsung (and relatedly Google) behave more and more like Apple by the day. If I wanted to be locked into a box unable to customize really anything - I'd have purchased that 4-letter word company's product.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] Maxninja:
This website states to use Android SDK and not just ADB. Wondering if current owners used this method to achieve custom ringtones (notifications/alarms included to) transfer?

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] dalepl:
If you check the comments on that article, everyone states that the sounds revert to default after a watch reset, so same issue even if you follow this.

[Google Pixel 7] AJ205:
I bought this case and screen protector from their official site. if anybody is going to get it, pay attention to the screen protector installation instructions. the screen protector, if applied correctly, is hardly noticeable. its smooth for the touch but if you scratch it with four fingers it creates a gouge that disappear after a while (depends on how deep the scratch is). i don't like it as much as i like glass protectors, but its better than nothing since i got the impression that the glass protectors are not playing nice with the fingerprint sensor. other than that it is a solid case as far as i can tell. i had a cheap clear TPU case until i recieved this case. the TPU case is so tough and big that the device felt like those anti tank rugged phones. the ringke is much more elegant and refined on the edges, i like it and recommend it. i had ringke on my nexus 4 and it was and still holding on without disintegrating in the test of time.

This is the case I ordered and I'm looking forward to getting it tomorrow, didn't get it with a screen protector tho. Hopefully it's a good case either way
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
ringke make awesome case, I been using them for years...I love their loop hole design for lanyard...cant beat it for 14 bucks
[Google Pixel 7] googletermsofservice:
I ran that screen protector for like 2 days and it started to peel, fp reader didn't work with it either
[Google Pixel 7] lilrob1213:
Absolutely loving the case! So much grip! It also looks premium so that's nice too
[Google Pixel 7] creezalird:
i think if you are using it without case or with case that has almost no lips, then you might peel the protector from the swiping actions. Mine is still pristine for almost 2 weeks, with a ringke case obviously
[Google Pixel 7] esetleges:
Case looks ok, however I like better if there is all around extra lifting for protecting the screen. I am using Spigen Liquid Air, nothing special it protects. Using on P6 as well and already smashed the phone on concrete several times when felt out from pocket during riding motorbikes). Unfortunately, Speck does not make Presidio Grip case for Pixel 7 that would be my no 1 choice.

Screen protection: Reminds me for L&K protectors, but biggest downside that will pill up from sides (depends on case) over time. There are similar non glass protectors using GEL to stick properly to screen, those will not pill up easily. Got on P6 like that, and still holds after a year usage.
[Google Pixel 7] twoxa:
Possibly the best case for this device, bought off your recommendation and loving it. Why other cases not covering the camera visor the same exact way?....
[Google Pixel 7] manny18pr:
Just ordered the case based on the reviews here and in the webpage. I also ordered the camera tempered glass protector. Currently, I have the Spigen rugged armor case and Spigen glass screen protector

Hello and good afternoon, @NKALE79 Thanks for the explanation. Then I correctly understand that you do not intend to repair or restore the original IMEI but want to change or edit it.

Edit or change of IMEI is illegal in quite a few of countries. For this reason, I've closed your thread! XDA doesn't allow and doesn't accept discussions about or support for such an edit or change.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] heldc:
I have a game that doesn't involve touching the screen much (it's mostly played by tilt) which means that game booster locks my phone when I'm playing. I don't want to disable game booster screen lock, I use it with other games, so I just want to disable game booster for this game. (It's not a high performance game, so I don't need game booster anyway.) But I can't find a settings option to choose which apps game booster activates with. Does anyone know how to stop game booster for just a specific app?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raul6:
Locks how? I also use tilt when playing but it never locks. I have gestures disabled under booster settings /blocking
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] heldc:
Game booster has a screen lock feature, that dims and touch protects your screen while keeping the game running. It's useful for some of the games I play most (they have harvesting), but not useful for this one.

Hi there people. Is there a way to backup programs registration using sashimi or something like that?

All programs save registration information in the Registry?

Because I tried to compare the System Registry before inserting the serial in Resco Explorer and the Registry after

the only changes are "Time" and "Signal Strength Raw" or something like that

So Resco Explorer seems to do not store registration information in the registry

Any ideas how to backup that?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bubble:
Most of the time, the registration info is stored into the registry.

For Resco products it's stored in this file:

\Windows\wmtrigger.dat

The best way to find where the registration info is held for a particular software is to take snapshots with SKTracker before and after registration. This will not only compare registry but also the complete file system an system DBs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brendo:
yep, apps store that info in several different places such as registry and particualar files. so, not really feisable to do so

My POCO F3 8GB/256GB suddenly not letting me call anyone (Says mobile network not available) or pick up any calls but mobile network and texting is working completely fine. I've rebooted the phone multiple times, disabled volte, reinstalled google carrier services and still nothing so I had no choice but to factory reset the phone but that didn't work too. Currently using MIUI 13.0.9 and hoping there's a way to fix this asap.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Wmbruckner:
Use miui flash tool to reset your phone to he miui version it came from. If it does ot work then, it's a hardware problem.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] PaRoAh:
I'll try doing the MIUI Flash method. I hope it's not a hardware problem because everything was working fine and I only realised few days ago it started to not work
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] engage4:
Check with other sim. If problem remains check different network modes 2G/3G/LTE.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] PaRoAh:
So I've tried using 2 different sim cards (One of them being the same carrier as the sim that's not letting me make or receive calls on the F3) and so far those sims are working fine with the phone . Also tried putting the not "working" sim on other devices and it seems to work fine so I'm not really sure what's the problem here. As soon as I put the sim card back on the F3 it works for a moment then completely stops letting me call and receive calls.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] engage4:
Try changing network modes.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] PaRoAh:
That method also didn't work

did you try downgrading to 13.0.8.0 fw? could be a defective modem driver

Hi Guys! I am new here, my samsung A52s 5g just freezes and always going back to home screen specially when connected to wifi. It just happened all of a sudden, I didn't even downloaded anything, I just use my phone on social media platform and some games.

Here's what I did 👇

I tried factory reset - issue still persists

I tried hard reset, clear cache - issue still persists

I tried reprograming with Odin the latest version of Odin - still didn't fix the problem I even downgraded the android version with the old A52s firmwarw with Odin but the issuw still persists.

Does anyone encountered the same issue? And know a solution? Please let me know. TIA

Welcome to XDA🤗

Sounds like a hardware failure.

If you did all that not much else left.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Wilsaryu:
😢 I hope someone know a solution how to fix this problem. It just happened all of a sudden. The phone was working fine beforw my son just turned it off. When I turned it back on it freezes wherever I go and going back to homescreen by itself. It happens all the time when the wifi is on. But when the wifi is off, it is somehow ok.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] blackhawk:
Well leave the wifi off. You went back to a known good firmware version and set the data user partition to its default settings. Unless you installed a buggy 3rd party after that there's not much left other than a hardware failure.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Wilsaryu:
Data user partition should be in default settings I guess since flashing to known good version.

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Wilsaryu:
Yes, restarting phone is fine like normal, but whenever I browse on my a52s it keeps lagging but when press the return/back button it goes back to normal but when I repeat browsing the same thing it keeps lagging, sometimes it freezes and going back to home screen.

What browser? Try clearing that browser's data.

Try a different browser like Brave.
