[Sony Xperia 1 V] eng3:
Although I use to dabble in camera photography in the past (before smartphones), these days, I find that I like to just use the point-and-shoot auto function. Sometimes it is more important to "capture the moment" then get the perfect picture. I find when I try to use the camera UI to fiddle with the settings, THEN take the photo, the moment may have passed. Now I just take a second to compose the shot, then just hope AUTO works.

MY current phone, with auto, I usually only need minor editing. Most commonly, I need to adjust the dynamic range (ie. HDR). Sometimes, I need to adjust for barrel distortion if something important is near the edges.

My current phone is a Huawei P30 Pro and I love the 5X zoom and don't want to give it up. (I have alot of photos taken from an airplane, even caught a fighter jet zooming past once) If it wasnt for the battery starting to get old and the BS US anti-competition measures making me stuck at Android 10, I might hold on to the phone longer.

The phone may be overkill but if I look at available phones with 5X zoom, there aren't allot and those phones cost about the same. Mid range phones don't have zoom. The S23 has a 3X and 10X which isnt ideal and I find samsung photos don't look very natural. The new Pixel 8 Pro has 5X and I like google's processing more but I don't like the Tensor chip as it tends to overheat. Plus the phone is $1000.

I might lean towards the Xiaomi more, however the main issue is Xiaomi isnt designed for the US bands. 4G LTE coverage might be decent. 5G coverage is poor. I don't know about the AUTO/BASIC on Sony. On one hand, if Sony can get me a clean photo, at least I can work with it with post processing. However, if a phone can give me "good enough" photos where I don't bother, it's even easier.

Based on your experience with other phones (samsung, google, etc), How is the AUTO or BASIC mode compared to other phones?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Yakkosmurf:
The basic and auto modes work fine. I moved from a P30 Pro to an Xperia and one reason was the speed of taking a photo. I was missing shots of my kids because the P30 took so long to lock focus and take the picture. With my Xperia phone, the eye AF and capture speed were a big upgrade. With the Xperia 1 V, the pictures are better than the P30 Pro.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] mufunyo:
I've switched to almost exclusively using basic mode because it's the only mode that does HDR tone mapping / frame stacking and night sight. I prefer the UI of the pro modes (previously P was my go-to mode) but they always overexpose highlights so they're useless for quick shots.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] eng3:
How's the battery? I've heard that it's not so great because the screen it doesnt support LTPO. I hear the VI should have it though. I also aren't too happy with how the telephoto looks. The variable is nice, but it looks quite soft.

I was debating between this and the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. Well, maybe 14 Ultra at this point. I like the matched sensors between lenses. But at least the 13 has poor frequency coverage in the US
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Yakkosmurf:
Battery is fine for my uses. Battery easily lasts all day unless I film a youth sporting event with it. Telephoto lens is okay. I find the focus is off sometimes leading to softer photos. So, I make sure what I want to capture is center of the frame and focused on properly.

I've stayed away from Xiaomi phones, as I figured I'd have the same poor coverage I had with my Huawei.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] eng3:
I have a Huawei now and about 90% of the time I have coverage. But those 10% can be annoying.

I'm hoping the Xiaomi 14 Ultra Global might have better coverage. If it wasn't for the coverage, I'd probably go for it 100%.

The Sony gives me pause. I had the Z5 Compact a long time ago thinking it would give me good photos and it was pretty bad. I'm on the fence with the Sony 1 V. I'm excited to see what improvements there are in the VI

Hi. Does anyone have a working deep testing application on realme ui 4.0 ?

hope this will work on rui 4 also
[Motorola Moto G52] ardwivedi16:
Hello,

This is how you install custom rom on your Moto G52 (all variants)

Note:- These steps are useless if you haven't unlocked bootloader.

These steps are tested working on stock rom

1. Download your rom of choice,twrp,gapps and other mods and move them inside platform tools folder.

2. Go into bootloader by holding down vol- and power and connect phone to pc.

3. Erase userdata by typing fastboot erase userdata

3. Boot twrp by typing fastboot boot twrp.img

4. Go into advanced>adb sideload> and sideload the copy partition zip

5. Reboot to bootloader and boot twrp once again

6. Flash rom of your choice. Once the process is completed you can reboot into system.

You may get "Your data may be corrupt can't load Android system" in that case click the factory reset option

For Vanilla roms only (No prebuilt gapps)

Reboot into recovery after rom install is complete

Do apply update>adb sideload and flash gapps of your choice (I recommend Nikgapps Omni)

You can also use Magiskgapps if you have magisk/kernelsu

That's it

What does KG Status: Normal mean?

I'm unable to get the oem unlock option to appear on a T500 A7 in dev options and flashing anything but a stock image gives an error of 'enrolled knox guard prevent flashing factory binary (vbmeta)'.

The device was bought directly from Samsung and was then rooted, but after a few days there was an error message which resulted in the stock image having to be flashed back on and since then oem unlock has never appeared since.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
This should provide more insight, from the Magisk installation instructions:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] valdonta:
Ive gone thru as much of that as I can. It doesnt list the 'Normal' status in the possible KG values tho and I cant get oem unlock to appear.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Explain again what the current situation is? When you received the device, did you enable OEM Unlocking in Developer Options? Did you unlock the bootloader after doing that?

When you are in Download Mode, do you see "OEM LOCK: ON or OFF, {L) or (U)"?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] valdonta:
I originally followed the rooting guide on here about 2 years ago. At that time this is what happened -

I enabled OEM unlock in dev options then unlocked the bootloader and applied the Magisk modified AP file and seemingly successfully rooted it. Then about 3 or 4 days later, I think the battery had run out and upon booting it there was an error of 'enrolled knox guard prevent flashing factory binary (vbmeta)' and it wouldnt boot.

I then had to flash a stock image back on to it at which point it booted, but then OEM unlock wouldnt appear in dev options (and never has since) and attempting to apply any modified image fails with the same 'enrolled knox guard prevent flashing factory binary(vbmeta)' error. At some point since then the bootloader may have been relocked in an attempt to set everything back to stock.

Since then Ive occasionally tried to apply different images to it but its always the same, no OEM unlock ever appears in dev options and only stock images are able to be applied in Odin.

In download mode, the status are

FRP Lock: OFF

OEM Lock: ON (U1)

KG Status: Normal

which is confusing as I can find no reference to a status of 'normal' and I'm not sure what the U1 means on the oem lock, I had read something that suggested U1 was for USA devices but that doesnt make sense as its definitely an EU version, it has EU firmware and had previously been rooted (tho I may have tried using a stock US rom, along with various other countries in an attempt to get oem unlock to appear)

is it possible to fix kg state active if possbile how do i do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 3to4:
I have been searching all over, but this is the 1st time I find such comprehensive information. I am begining to understand.. Thank you.

Actually, I am trying to install TWRP on my newly purchased Galaxy Xcover Pro (Android 12). I unlocked the bootloader, and when I boot into Download mode, it shows KG state : Checking, FRP lock : OFF, OEM lock: OFF (U). So, I should be able to flash custom stuff with Odin, right? Still, Odin fails when I flash vbmeta.rar, etc. Do you think I can root with Magisk? (I don't think so, because I cannot flash anything.) Can you give me some advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
You shouldn't be trying to flash RAR files with Odin. The file you need should have a .tar.md5 extension. .RAR is an archive, I suspect you need to unzip it to find the vbmeta.tar.md5

As far as rooting with Magisk, I haven't been in the Samsung scene for a while so I'm not sure what the best method is. I think on most Tab A devices you can flash custom recovery (such as TWRP) with Odin, then install Magisk via TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 3to4:
Thank you for your kind reply.

Actually, I made a typing mistake. The files I am trying to flash are "tar" files. I tried tar.md5, too. (converted with "Tar_Md5_Packager"). I am beginning to think "KG state : Checking" is preventing me to flash anything. I have read somewhere that if I boot into system and use it for some time, I will be able to flash what I want. Otherwise, I will have to try to relock bootloader (to avoid warning at boot up) and use the phone without TWRP or root... Next time, I will make sure to buy a phone which can be modded. (It is becoming more and more difficult to make modifications..) Thank you for trying to help me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
"KG: CHECKING" shouldn't prevent you from flashing anything.

What version of Odin are you using and where did you download it from?

Are you sure you're using the right file for your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 3to4:
Thank you for your reply.

I use Odin3 v3.14.1 (Some say v3.14.4 connects to Chinese servers.) with Samsung USB driver 1.7.61.0.

For "KG state: Checking", I found the following post (2nd one)

Samsung KG state completed meaning

Hi So I've seen many posts with KG state etc on them, but I haven't really found an explanation as to what this KG (Knoxguard if I'm right) actually restricts in terms of flashing. Previously my phone said KG state checking, but after I tripped...

xdaforums.com

I asked a question there, but I did not get any reply..

As I cannot flash anything, I was beginning to think "KG state : Checking" is preventing me from flashing, and all I can do is to wait and see.. But, you and Magisk site say with "KG state: Checking", I should be able to flash. That gives me some hope..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
There is no 3.14.4. The last version is 3.14.1, and you should only use this version:

Patched Odin 3.13.1

For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

xdaforums.com

Anything else cannot be trusted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 3to4:
Yes, very often, you find contradictory information on the internet. So, I think I'd rather trust what you and Magisk site say. But, the reality for me is that I cannot flash anything, and I have to find out why I cannot flash..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Well, your bootloader is unlocked, and KG:CHECKING won't prevent flashing, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

What's the error message when it fails?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 3to4:
Thank you for your help!

My situation is now a little different. Actually, I had been using the phone since a few days, installing apps I use, and then, I just wanted to see what KG state was now. So, I rebooted into Download mode, and I saw the line "KG state: Checking" was not there. (as attached photo)

So, I flashed a rom, which I managed to make with crb Kitchen myself (I disabled all the security features I could find in the kitchen. I am not familiar with the kitchen, but I am trying to learn.) Actually I had thought if I flashed a rom with securities disabled, it would be easier to install TWRP and root afterwards.

Odin flashed my custom rom (so to speak) without an error, and the rom booted without a problem.I finished Setup wizard, and I rebooted into Download mode. Then, I saw the line was back with KG state : Prenormal!! So, I rebooted system, and checked the developer option, but there was no OEM unlocking option!!

So, I played around a little and rebooted into Download mode, and this time I saw the line was KG state:Checking. So, I tried to flash TWRP tar file, which I had downloaded from "unofficialtwrp", thinking that as I disabled all security features I could find in the kitchen, and I patched also vbmeta and vbmeta_samsung, the phone would boot, and I could reboot into TWRP normally.

Big mistake!! The phone did not boot with error "Validating footer" something and error "verifying vbmeta" something. (Sorry, the photo 2 is not clear.)

I tried to reflash my custom rom, but Odin's progress bar stopped at the beginning of super. So, I flashed stock rom, which flashed, as always, without any problem. So, now I am back in stock rom as before.

I now know what to do to be able to flash a custom rom with Odin. (I need to play around a few days and wait the line "KG state: Checking" disappear.) The problem is now, when I flash TWRP, the phone is stuck in Download mode and does not boot. (I cannot go into recovery either..)

I am very sorry, this post is very long. I hope it is understandable.. I learned a lot today, but Samsung prevents us from doing what we want. It is really disgusting!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
So is your problem resolved? You didn't answer my question.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 3to4:
Sorry! I did not answer your question directly. Yes, my problem of not being able to flash anything seems to be solved. Thank you.

The solution is to when KG state is checking, I need to use my phone normally a few days, and when the line KG state : Checking disappears in Download mode, I can flash anything, I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I don't think that's the problem, though. As I said earlier, KG: CHECKING should not prevent you from flashing anything. PRENORMAL will.

What error were you getting from Odin when trying to flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] 3to4:
Thank you.

Well, simply Odin starts flashing, but shows "Fail" at the end (Instead of Reset/Pass) when I flash a small file like vbmeta or TWRP, or Odin gets stuck at the beginning of Super when I flash a rom. (In this case, I shutdown and then Odin gets stuck in Download mode and says "a problem during software update" or something like this. So, I flash a stock rom, to recover.) I think there are many different android versions and many different manufacturers. So, the behavior may be different in some cases. In my case, I tried at least 10 times when "KG state: Checking" was visible, and it never worked. Today is the first time I flashed a rom successfully, and this was when the line "KG state : Checking" disappeared in Download mode....

PS: When Odin finishes with 'Fail", I can reboot system normally afterwards (No need to flash a stock rom)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] boomboxistheway:
Is there anything I can do? no way to unlock bootloader and root it?

KG State: Active (01)

OEM Lock: ON (L)

Android 14
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Read the link I posted. Instructions are there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] boomboxistheway:
thanks bro, is just that the line

"Having KnoxGuard active will prevent you from installing/running Magisk regardless of your bootloader lock state."

sounds like there's nothing to be done, but I asked because the comment is 8mo old so idk if any workaround came up meanwhile
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Well, you could always try. You should still be able to unlock your bootloader. Do that, then reboot to download mode and see what it says.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] boomboxistheway:
I appreciate your reply mate, unfortunately that's the whole problem to begin with. the first step is:

"Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking"

I don't have the option at all in the menu, when I booted in download mode the OEM Lock is set as ON (L)

probably because KnoxGuard has locked my device already, download mode shows "KG state: ON (01)"
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Doesn't sound like there's any way around it, then.

I can increase and decrease the volume there with bar besides appearing , can even on the talkback mode and can power off or restart . cant seem to boot into recovery or download mode so far . can someone please help?

[Sony Xperia 5 IV] El Brillantinas:
Hi people!

I've just got my Xperia 5 IV like 3 weeks ago. Lovely phone, sleek and sexy design, great camera. It's good to have a Xperia again after some time.

However, as much as I'm loving this device, I'm kinda disappointed on how it handles apps. Sometimes I'm working in an app that I need to stay open, then I switch to other apps and when coming back to the first app, it's constantly being restarted.

I already configured that app to ignore "battery optimization". I've also made sure that "Background process limit" in the developer options is set to "Standard limit", but this behavior persists. Even if the phone is really quick to restart the app, I need that specific app to stay open and not to be restarted, as I said.

I come from an OnePlus 9 pro which has 12 GBs in RAM and this didn't happen very often. Is it possible that 8 GBs in RAM is not enough anymore?

Or, is there another trick or configuration that I can change in this SONY ROM to avoid that?
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] davestuarts:
Not sure if you're having the same problems, but thats really odd especially if it happens often as I don't experience that at all. Not sure if it's because my phone is rooted and adblocked with any crap removed, but I'm sure a non-rooted phone should work just as smooth. Have you updated the phone and are on current rom? removed or disabled any unnecessary apps?
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] thebiffman:
I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but memory management has been a problem from day 1 and no updates have fixed it. I had Xperia 5 II before and it still works perfectly but the 5 IV totally sucks and I will never buy a Sony phone again. If I had bought it myself (its a company phone) I would have returned it without hesitation. Its crazy how much smoother the Xperia 5 II works when put side by side with the Xperia 5 IV. It also get worse as you use the phone so I restart the phone daily. It seems Sony's software policy is to only release security updates and no bug fixes.

I've had the phone for just over a week now and so far I've not had any issues with multitasking. I wouldn't say I'm a power user by any means but I've had music, maps, a couple web pages, and something like the settings app all open at once and I can switch among all of them without having the app restart. I started from a freshly factory reset Android 13, which is how my (used) phone came.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] thebiffman:
That is super weird. So many users online have the problems. Some does not. Wondering what the difference are. And I have tried factory resets and everything. I have switched back to my old Xperia 5 II since it works better. Just irritating to not have access to the better camera, especially during the darker season.
[Sony Xperia 5 IV] Ermann123:
Same also happens wit Z5c and Xz2c with 2GB / 4 GB of RAM. Was hoping, that it will not happen with the 8 GB of the 5 IV.

It is really annoying to get some background apps killed by incidence.

Either it is a Sony problem or rather a lineage os problem!?
