I wonder how these magnetic lens would work on the G1? Hope the magnet is not enough to mess with the compass.

Since cases with tiny magnets seems to goof things up, I for one, am not willing to risk it. Nice idea though...

[G1 Accessories] niko5:
That would be really cool!!! Order one and let us know if it works :)
[G1 Accessories] heldc:
Ordered these last week, still waiting for them to arrive. Planning to mount the magnet on some extra zagg shielding I have, so I can easily remove it if it turns out to mess with the compass or the lenses don't work well. Will post pics and a review when I've got them!
[G1 Accessories] KyleK29:
Are they serious? The size of that thing alone makes me think you'd be better off carrying a nice compact Point 'n' Shoot camera.

So, got my lenses today, and I really like them! One problem, I had ordered a telephoto, fisheye, and macro, and GOT two telephoto and a macro. I've emailed them about the problem, and will see what comes of it. I think these are going to be really fun to have on hand. They each came with a magnetic back cover, and a plastic snap on front cover. The back cover has a little cord loop, so it can be attached to a keychain, zipper pull, or whatever.

The lenses do make a clear difference in photographs. I've attached some pics I took with the macro lens. I'll upload telephoto pics tomorrow, as I'm at work and forgot the telephoto lens!
[G1 Accessories] Bohemian:
So, the question is now that you have your lens...Does it mess with the phones magnetic compass?
[G1 Accessories] Gorguts:
Photo's

The pic w/o macro looks better. Macro is reserved for extreme close-ups so maybe that has something to do with the quality of your photo. Does the snap-on case make any mention of shielding by the way?

So I got a reply to my email about the order being shipped wrong in about 43 hours from sending the email, which is pretty good, I sent the email at 10am on Saturday, and got a reply at 5 am on Monday. They're say they're shipping me the missing lens, with no mention of charging me anything, or even of sending them back the second telephoto lens I got. So, I'm pretty impressed by that, and if they do manage to get it right the second time, I'll be quite happy with the purchase and the customer service experience. Also, each lens came with two of the little metal rings you stick on whatever you want to use the lens with, which I liked. It means I can have my cell phone, webcam, and partner's cell phone all set up to use the lenses, and still have 4 rings left over for use on future items. I also got a cradle with second battery slot, and a spare battery from USBFever, and am very happy with that as well. I ordered on the 7th, and my order arrived from Hong Kong on the 17th. And as a bonus, my order arrived as a brown paper package tied up with string, prompting my roommate who brought the package in, myself, and my partner to all start singing These Are A Few of My Favorite Things. :)

Turns out, that wasn't the macro lens, it was the wide angle lens. One lens does both, it unscrews for macro. The macro is great, it lets you do insane closeups that the camera by itself won't even focus for. I can't do a comparison shot for the camera with and without the macro, cos without the macro, the camera won't focus at such close range! Attached the various test shots, all properly labeled this time, plus shots of the macro/wide angle lens assembled and apart. The telephoto, regular, and wide angle were all taken from the same distance/position (well, I might have moved a tiny bit switching out the lenses, but close enough!).

It does seem to mess with the compass, yeah, but only when the lens is actually on. There's a little metal ring with a sticky backing that you put on the phone to stick the lens to, and the little metal ring by itself does NOT mess with the compass. So, the compass is only messed with when the lens is actually on. I consider this to be acceptable, if I need to use the compass, I just take the lens off and drop it into my pocket or backpack.
[G1 Accessories] Bohemian:
Only issue I see with that then is if the photo gps data relies on magnetic compass for tagging info. Haven't looked at the tag on the photos if it records a magnetic facing or not. Otherwise if no permanent compass problems, guess I am ordering some.
[G1 Accessories] heldc:
Ok, the fisheye lens arrived today. My overall experience with usbfever was definitely a positive one. Yeah, they made a mistake in the initial order, shipping me two telephoto lenses and no fisheye lens, but they were quick to rectify the problem. I had a reply to my email about the problem quickly, and the postmark on the replacement lens indicates it was shipped the day they replied to my email about the problem, and without charging me so much as an extra penny! They didn't even ask for the extra telephoto lens back! I'd call that top notch customer service. I've attached a couple pictures, one taken with the fisheye lens, the same shot taken just normally, and a picture of all three lenses (with a usb cable shown for sizing and cos it happened to be right there). It's a bit dark cos of the lighting in the room the pics were taken in.
[G1 Accessories] Meltus:
be VERY VERY careful with magnets, they can permenantly **** up compasses with ease. you might not notice anything now, but repeted exposure WILL do damage in the long run.
[G1 Accessories] heldc:
I'm not seeing anything on google to support this, and don't remember any such info from various how magnets/compasses work lessons in school or scouting. (Tho it has been a while, so maybe I'm forgetting.)

I do remember being told in scouts that a quick and easy way to calibrate a misaligned compass was to run a strong magnet around it in a full circle, clockwise&counterclockwise. This was supposed to properly magnetize the compass and allow the compass to align to the earth's magnetic fields to an acceptable accurate degree for general navigation.
[G1 Accessories] Meltus:
i didn't know you could re-calibrate a compass, thats handy to know. but i know for a fact a magnet can pretty much break a compass, i've done it before, but if it can be re-alligned i guess theres not much to worry about.

just out of curiosity, what kind of compass does the G1 use?
[G1 Accessories] Fr0sTy333:
G1 Phone Telescope

i was just browsing a site full of electronics and gadgets and what not and came across this:

http://mobile.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03926&cat_id=1180&dept_id=017

the images of it say one thing but the quality of the shown pictures taken with the telescope is pretty nice... how real they are is another question... what do you guys think?
[G1 Accessories] stogchris81:
i know if i saw some dude on the street with a scope like that on his G1, i would think cia or something. and i can get it for $17? sweet! but i will wait for reviews. lol.
[G1 Accessories] Breach:
I saw those on ebay for under $10. My guess is they are about the same quality at a $10 kids toy microscope.. all plastic with junk plastic lenses.. but who wants to carry one of those around? Just set a few feet closer and take the picture. :P

Rick
[G1 Accessories] Fr0sTy333:
lol hells yea dude. reminds me of the cheap telescope's you'd find in a happy meal back in the day when disney didnt own happy meals lol
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
I found one on e-bay for $13 shipped. I'm a photo nerd and I like toy cameras... so I'm gonna take the plunge. :)
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:

[G1 Accessories] Breach:
Ohh, hell.. free handy strap? That makes all the difference. Now I want one too! :)

hehe..

Good luck man, let us know how it goes.

PS.. and if anyone asks what that bulge in your pocket is.. just tell em your cellphone is a G1 on viagra! :)

[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
No idea how well this will work, but am looking forward to results. Being a penny pincher, I went ahead and strapped a pair of binoculars onto my phone. I will admit that the zoom is a great deal clearer, but because of the fact that it is through binoculars, field of vision is like 2 degrees and very very dark.
[G1 Accessories] dsa411:
Hey just curious did you ever get it? If so how does it work and can you post an example photo you took with it? Thanks!
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
I actually got it in the mail last night. I haven't taken any photos with it, but will tomorrow. One thing I noticed (which I figured from seeing the picture) is that the telephoto lens attaches to the phone via one of the cheap clear plastic G1 cases you can get at a mall kiosk. The problem is that the mount covers part of the camera hole, that I would use to push the case off the phone... because of this I had to pry the case off the phone, which could easily scratch the back of the unit. After I got it off the first time, I used plyers to remove the edge of the clips that would hold it to the phone, that way I don't have to wrestle the case off whenever I used the lens.

Another thing I notice is that I'm not sure the mount is centered over the camera on the phone, my initial trial (inside the house) had a big black crescent on one side of the photo --- Which I think messed up the focusing.

We'll see when I can get in the sun and take some decent photos. I'll post them all here.
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
I know the 'unboxing' pictures aren't the greatest, but my roommate keeps the place dark like a cave, so they came out a little dark and blurry. :)

First, I'll post sample pictures I took this morning, without the lens and with the lens. Really crappy overcast day, will take better ones soon.

YIkes. Need to resize them first.
[G1 Accessories] exile20:
The picture looks pretty good but the left side is slightly curved. When you take you second set of pcitures can you do no zoom, digital zoom(G1 zoom) then the telescope zoom. Thanks
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
G1 Zoom? Your G1 phone has digital zoom? What version firmware are you running (JF 1.5 here)

If I had it I would, but I would never use a software based zoom (even if my phone had it) - all it really is is a cropping of the original photo. I prefer to get the full size image and crop in photoshop if I wanted to. :)
[G1 Accessories] cigar3tte:
I also noticed the curving on the left side. Is that a limitation of the lens?
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
Not sure. I really haven't had a chance to play with it. I went out today to take a few pictures and it started storming again. :(

I see the curvature on the left hand side too - there's also some vignetting around the corners ... keep in mind that this basically a $3 plastic lens* hot glued to a clear aftermarket case, probably by a 6 year old in some slave labor sweatshop in china, I'm not expecting leica-like precision. :) That being said, I'll take some more photos as soon as it's nice out.

*The casing and mount are definitely cheap rubbery plastic, but the lens itself seems like glass.
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
Here's more example photos, taken from my office window...

There's still vignetting and there is a curvature on the left hand side. I don't mind at all. I'm looking at this as though it were one of those cheap holga type cameras.. a cheap, low-fi way way to get get better shots.

Keep in mind that these were all full size images before I resized them. Not like when you use digital zoom where the non-zoomed photo is 1920x1280 and the "zoomed" version is only 640x480. :)

Blurriness is because I'm shooting with a telephoto lens without a tripod. :)
[G1 Accessories] dsa411:
Thanks for posting your findings for 13 shipped seems worth it to me
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
Very much so, I think. It actually makes it a usable camera. I can't wait to pull out this big ass telephoto lens one day... people will freak. :)
[G1 Accessories] exile20:
Sorry i was using the Haykuro 5.02 for a while before and i totally forget that i am on JF 1.5 now. The new pics look nice actually.
[G1 Accessories] lexotic_sc300:
im soooo gettin one!... Thanks for the review and samples... awesome... i think it looks awesome for what it cost.. ill be buying 2.. one for the car (travel) and one in case i lose it .. sweeeeeetttttt

That poor phone!
[G1 Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
LOL I want a dildo for my phone lol. the pictures were pretty impressive but really they couldn't ponder up a better design?
[G1 Accessories] Proxin:
That's very interesting... I'd get one if I used my G1 as a camera more, usually it's just sitting in my pocket, up to my ear, or in my hand texting/tweeting away (all of which would feel awkward with a telescope sticking out like a boner at the beach >_> )

If I had an office window to spy on people from, I'd definitely get it :p
[G1 Accessories] GenericNode:
I dont see how carrying around that camera lense is any more convenient than carrying around a real camera.
[G1 Accessories] nolageek:
1. It's not that big.

2. I don't want to carry a camera and a phone in my pocket when I go out to festivals, etc.

3. The geek factor is much higher. :)
[G1 Accessories] SolemnWishing:
I suggest bringing it to the airport and when security asks to see it make a dash for it.

G1 Phone Telescope

Wow that looks awesome, but, I have an extended battery and that silly clear case will not fit my fat G1.

I'll have to think about this, maybe keep a little kit witht he original battery, original back and the telescope. LOL

UPDATE: Ok after thinking about it, I bought one from Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=380133157681

It's called "h25 8x Zoom Telescope Lens For T-Mobile HTC G1". I will review once it arrives.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kemokemokun:
Hello XDA community,

I am currently facing an issue where I cannot transmit data with the carrier I am contracted with. Here are the steps I have tried:

Changing APN settings from the SIM settings screen

Changing the preferred network type by executing ##4636## (I found that the IMS service status is disabled)

Executing the method described in this thread

This issue arose after I factory reset my global version of Xperia 1 III. Until then, I was able to use it without any problems.

In my personal opinion, I believe the cause may be that I was unable to obtain the correct mbn file (for the Japanese carrier “ahamo”) and execute the correct carrier_policy.xml while performing the method in the aforementioned thread.

Fortunately, I have two Xperia 1 IIIs. The one that is functioning correctly is a SIM-free model from Japan. As a solution to this problem, I am considering extracting the mbn file and carrier_policy.xml from the functioning Xperia 1 III and inserting them into the non-functioning Xperia 1 III using the method in the aforementioned thread.

Do you think this method will work? I would appreciate your opinions and suggestions. Thank you in advance.

:)
[Sony Xperia 1 III] umair281992:
i am facing same problem bro.. help me out too from this happening
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kemokemokun:
I have tried various things, but I still can’t solve it. Even if I change modem.sin or something, IMS won’t connect. :cry:
[Sony Xperia 1 III] RF Junkey:
The easy fix is Xperia Companion. Click on software repair. Backup data! This will put the phone back to how it was before the reset.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] ghylander:
You could try to force IMS registration, but I doubt that alone will fix the data connection.

I did it on mine to enable VoLTE, but data connection was working pior to that.

You DON'T need root to do this if you use shizuku.

To force IMS registration:

Download shizuku.

Set up shizuku with wifi debugging (in developers settings).

Download pixel IMS app.

Launch and grant access to shizuku.

Enable IMS registration, VoLTE, VoWIFI, etc.

Afterwards, you can unisntall shizuku and pixel IMS.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] RF Junkey:
It's been some time. Please note: When finished changing the APN settings, You must tap on the three dots at top left of the screen and SAVE. If you hit the back arrow without doing this the APN settings will not stick or save and you need to start over.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] pr1ncemani:
Hi guys,

Can anyone point me towards a download link for the LE2121_13.1.0.593(EX01) ROM download link? I updated my OP9pro to this version and now that the magisk app is updated to v27, i have to patch the boot image for this new version (13.1.0.593) for magisk to work.

Kindly help!

thanks.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] gulshanstrider:
Hi,

I think there is a simple way to extract boot image.

It can be done using msm tool to extract from your device itself. You can Google the tutorial

I have done it in the past but don't remember exact steps
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Z-Blade:
There is 2 ways you can do this.

1. Go into fastboot and boot up TWRP or Orange Fox and flash the Magisk app (easiest way to do it IMO).

2. Use MSM tool to do a Readback for the boot.img file (make sure you get the right boot image for the active slot you are using).
[OnePlus 9 Pro] yassine2217:
When upgrading your firmware, it's a common misconception to reboot your phone immediately after the upgrade. A useful tip is to refrain from rebooting and instead navigate to the Magisk app. From there, select the "Install to inactive slot" option after completing the OTA update. This method helps in maintaining root access even with the new firmware, preventing root loss.

If you're interested, you can download the boot img from this source and patch it using magisk
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Doush_504:
Hello everyone

A friend of my bought me the phone but didn't notice that it was the chinese version.

I really wanted to install Indonesian MIUI 12.5 (which is really a comfort zone for me) & lock the bootloader

Is this possible ?

I read that you only lock with chinese MIUI, but I was these pictures which got me thinking ...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] spiderpool27:
Yes, it's possible to install a different regional version of MIUI on your Chinese version phone, but there are some things to consider:

Compatibility: Make sure that the Indonesian MIUI version you want to install is compatible with your specific model of phone. Installing incompatible firmware can lead to issues or even brick your device.

Bootloader Unlocking: Typically, Xiaomi phones require the bootloader to be unlocked in order to flash custom ROMs or different regional versions of MIUI. However, unlocking the bootloader may void your warranty and could potentially cause security risks.

Locking Bootloader: While it's possible to unlock the bootloader on Xiaomi phones, locking it again is often a more complicated process and may not be officially supported for non-Chinese versions of MIUI.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Doush_504:
I think that if the phone has several software versions available, they can be switched (already tried that in a couple of other phones).

The phone came with Global MIUI & bootloader unloacked.

I would really like to lock it for peace of mind with banking apps.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] realmotylek:
You can't lock bootloader on Chinese models if on Global, else except a hardbrick. And wrong device. You posted on forum related to Mi 11 Ultra but you have Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G, post where you should post it!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Doush_504:
I have a Mi 11 ultra.

I was just showing an example of a Xiaomi device that did what I am trying to do.

Need help flashing my Y700 2023 Lenovo tablet. I was able to flash CRDROID but when I tried to install Magisk, I'm now stuck and can't boot or access recovery mode only the bootloader. I just want to flash it again to stock ROM.

When I try to connect it to my pc:

Bootloader screen:

Can't run adb commands (not detected) and can only run fastboot commands

Tried using QFIL:

encountering "download fail: sahara fail: qsaharaserver fail: process fail" when downloading

Tried this and still not working

Please help. Thanks in advance!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] spiderpool27:
Use Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant: Lenovo provides a tool called Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant that can help with flashing stock firmware on Lenovo devices. You can download and install this tool on your computer and follow the instructions to flash the stock ROM onto your tablet.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Mr sarthou:
Tried that but Rescue and Smart Assistant doesn't support Y700 since it's only sold in mainland China.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] SPARO:
You can flash stock rom via bootloader. Try this post with google translate : https://gigglehd.com/gg/15165218

Download chinese rom.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Mr sarthou:
As I mentioned, my PC is not detecting the tablet and can't run adb commands. Any workaround for this?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] SPARO:
In the guide, It use bootloader mode and isnt need adb command. only use fastboot command.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Mr sarthou:
Thanks, man! I'll follow the instructions!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] big_onion:
Thanks for this link, it was helpful!

I guess I had applied the 737 patch before going through all of this. Do you know if there is any way for me to roll back so I can lock bootloader after installing the NEC rom? Or am I basically stuck with the stock Chinese ROM for now?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] SPARO:
Yeah you're right. Rollback index is stored in vbmeta(can't modifiy it).

NEC announced it's tablet officially few days ago. So if next version of NEC rom released, maybe you can lock the bootloader.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] itzParsaYC:
you can extract the rom file then flash the parts with fastboot
