The N6's camera is awesome when theres good lighting, but it's just abysmal in low lighting. Completely dark pictures where my Nexus 5 would have had no problems acquiring a decent image. It seems like the auto-exposure setting is "set" too low. If I use L camera's manual exposure settings, I...

So as we all know, the Nexus 6 camera sucks in low light compared to just about every other phone on the market. I played with L Camera (camera app that uses Lollipop's new camera API's) and played with the exposure and ISO settings and was able to get very good quality pictures with minimal...

Is there any mod or kernel that allows adjustment of the microphone gain control? At several concerts I've been to, the microphone just can't seem to handle all the bass. My Nexus 5 had this issue too until I made some changes in the mixer to reduce sensitivity.

I'm currently running Dynamic Kat 4.0 (10/13/14 bulid) and am having an issue with setting the "Secured lock time". The lock screen is currently secured with the fingerprint reader and I have the secured lock time set to 3 minutes. However, after 15 seconds of inactivity, and turning on the...

I'm planning to install my Nexus 7 into the car as soon as I get the car back next month. I'm in the infant stages of planning out the whol system right now :p Anyway, are there any compatible ATSC tuners for android? Would be cool to have access to live TV on the go. I've found about a million...

So I was going to install the InsertCoin 3.0-3 ROM and decided to update to the 2.24 firmware first. I changed the CID (I have the AT&T version) to 11111111 and installed the update as follows Rebooted into recovery (TWRP 2.5) and the touchscreen doesn't work. Eventually, the TWRP lock screen...

Just flashed PAC ROM and the teamSeven AOSP kernel and now it's stuck at the PAC loading screen. I've tried holding down the power button for 30 seconds, holding volume down + power, and holding volume up + power, but each time, the back button and home button just start blinking - no restart...

So after about 4 weeks of this glorious phone, I've managed to crack my digitizer. I was working on my car (lying on my back under the car) and the phone slipped out of my pocket and onto the concrete. Maybe a 6 inch drop at best and got a nice long diagonal crack. Anyway, I'm going to cut my...

Are there any 3rd party IR remote apps that work on the HTC one? :p Imagine a TV-B-Gone style app.. automatically cycle through the power off codes :good:

Just got my S3 yesterday in anticipation of running ARLiberator with my AppRadio 2 headunit to have a full fledge android experience in my car :D Tried out AOKP as I've had nothing but good experiences in the past on my other devices. Then I found out Allshare Cast isn't available on AOKP and...

I've been wanting the Galaxy Nexus since the announcement but never got around to getting it. I ended up getting a GS2 Skyrocket and have fallen in love with LTE. Do you think it's worth dumping my skyrocket for the GN? What's the current state of ROM development? :p

As promised.. here you go :D It was actually much simpler than I thought it would be. NOTE: I've only tested this with BeastMOD II v2.0.. but in theory, it should work with any other ROM. Pre-requisites: a) Rooted b) CWM Installed 1) Download your ROM of choice (T-Mobile Galaxy S2 ROMs...

Still working out a few bugs.. but I'll let you guys know when it's ready xD And to prove LTE is in fact working..

Just picked up my Skyrocket about an hour ago. LTE here so far seems pretty sweet. Getting around 15-20mbps download AND upload with 3 bars. Any questions? I'll probably be making a video comparison between the International GS2 and the Skyrocket soon.

So I lost my AC adapter a few weeks ago and haven't been able to use my EEE Pad since :( I had a hard time finding a suitable replacement AC adapter so I decided to make my own out of parts I had laying around. This guide will not teach you how to make an AC adapter! This guide will teach you...

Do we have to get AT&T to add a 4G SOC code to our dumbphone data plan in order to get the "4G" speeds? I'm on an unlimited 4G PDA plan right now (grandfathered) but I'd prefer to save $20 a month (we have family text unlimited) and still retain my unlimited data :p Oh I won't be getting my...

Anyone know where I can find a replacement charger? I seem to have lost it somewhere in Europe :D

Just ordered one of these puppies: http://cgi.ebay.com/Yoobao-Samsung-Vibrant-T959-Extended-Battery-I9000-/130479959809?pt=US_Batteries&hash=item1e61362f01#ht_1002wt_1139 Thought I'd give it a short review :p Anyway, I recently got a cheap vibrant that has a semi-borked cellular radio. I...

Has anyone ever tried out the Powerskin? I've been looking around for comparison pictures but can't find any :( http://power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html Looks like a nice case/battery combo. I don't want something too bulky though DOH. I've also been looking...

Which ROM/Kernel combo offers the best battery life? I could care less about performance and features. I just got a vibrant with a potentially borked cellular radio (will be disabling it) that will be used strictly as a media player :D

This guide is for you if you currently have a STOCK EEE Pad transformer running on the 8.2.3.9, 8.2.3.13, or 8.4.4.5 update :D If you are already rooted and have CWM, skip to part 3 or 4 as appropriate I rooted and upgraded to 3.1 yesterday and found the guides a bit scattered (and may be hard...

Has anyone ever used their vibrant with the radio completely off? I've been offered a flawless vibrant that has a faulty radio (disconnects/reconnects erratically) for just $125 :D I've been needing a new media player so I thought this would fit the bill. How many hours of music playback do you...

Has anyone ever used the Galaxy S as a media player only (turn 3G/GSM off completely). Any idea what the battery life is like? I never tested this out with my captivate when I had it and now I'm looking for a new media player to replace my POS ipod touch :p I'm looking to get at least ~30 hours...

I haven't run down the battery until today (always kept it plugged in) :p Is it normal for the charging indicator to flash red while it is charging? Or is there something wrong?

Prior to enabling HSUPA, I wasn't able to break 3mbps.. but now this: :D Either that or AT&T just switched on HSPA+ here in Boston

I thought it'd be a good idea to separate the docks from the main thread. For those of us who were fortunate enough to already receive a 16GB tablet, our next step is to locate a keyboard dock :D Post any information you find in here! I have my Page Monitor in chrome set to autorefresh product...

http://techinstyle.tv/news/eee-pad-transformer-keyboard-dock-offer/ If you're in the UK and bought a keyboardless transformer before April 22, you're eligible to buy a keyboard dock from Asus for 55GBP (~91USD) :eek: Any chance of Asus doing that here in the States? :D

I will be picking up an Atrix to play with very soon. Are there any tutorial/review videos you guys would like to see? I'm going to have a bit of free time after this week so I figured I'd help some people out :p

DISCLAIMER: It is now 5AM and I've had about 8 hours of sleep over the past 48 hours so I might be imagining things. I'm pretty sure there is a difference in audio quality, but without 2 phones side by side, it's hard to compare :p Instructions: 1) Flash any DesireHD ROM, your choice! 2) Flash...

I think I got it :D Going to do a few more rounds of testing to make sure that I'm not going insane! I'M EXCITED!

Had quite the night. ANYWAY, you need to be rooted in order to flash this (it's meant to be flashed through CWM) :D This the stock Inspire 4G ROM with su and busybox installed. Basically, I took attn1's Inspired DHD AFR zip package, and replaced all the files in the system directory with the...

Check it :p It's got the best of both worlds! Stock AT&T ROM for good sound quality, but it's also rooted!

EDIT: VIDEO IS OUT OF DATE. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE NEW HACK IT Yes, its finally here :D Part 1 of 2. In this video, I show you how to root, unlock and s-off your Inspire 4G. Youtube kinda screwed up 2 of the scenes (all black, no image). I'll reupload the video again tonight. The...

Here's the stock Inspire 4G Kernel :D You can flash any DesireHD ROM, then flash this on top of the ROM to enable audio. Basically, I just took the Telus kernel that's floating around here, and replaced the bcm4329.ko and boot.img with the ones from the stock ROM. Happy flashing!

Don't use CWM 3.x for Nandroid backups! It will soft-brick your phone! I found out the hard way :D Tried restoring a nandroid backup, everything looked alright, but when I went to restart it, it got stuck at the HTC screen (I waited for 30 min on one instance!). I reflashed, re-restored...

I think I managed to brick my Inspire some how :D I tried using a nandroid backup to restore to an older ROM. Everything restored correctly apparently, but when I go to restart it, I just get stuck on the HTC white screen. Tried reflashing a few different ROMs, but its still stuck on the HTC...

Had 2 upgrades on my family plan so I decided to get an Inspire until the Atrix is out :p I haven't used an HTC phone since the Nexus One and man, it felt so good to hold a solidly built phone in my hand. The Captivate just felt too cheap for my tastes :p GPS is absolutely amazing, got a lock...

Are any Nexus S's sold locked to T-Mobile? I was under the impression that all Nexus S's were sold unlocked. I found a really nice deal on a Nexus S on craigslist, but they claim that it's locked to T-Mobile.

For those of you using the X10 mini on AT&T, do they recognize your phone as a smartphone and force you onto the $15/$25 data plan? I'm thinking of getting my parents the x10 mini, but they don't really use data so it'd be a waste of money if they forced the $15 data plan

Will you please pop in your SIM into your Nexus S and see if you can get 1900 3G :p The T-Mo vibrant isn't listed with 1900 3G support but it does afaik. Maybe the Nexus S has it too? xD

I think I might have discovered a "bootloader" mode that's akin to the iPod/iPhone's DFU mode. The device shows up on the computer as "APX" when you do this procedure. Turn the G completely off, then plug in the USB cable. Hold both Volume buttons and turn on the G (keep volume up pressed) At...

I've tried this twice already with a factory reset in between each try, and it's worked both times! :D Attached is a bunch of files you will need to make this work. Download the attached Zip file and extrat the contents to your desktop Mount your G and upload the "G Tablet" folder to your G's...

My friend's phone gives a message "network unlock pin number is entered incorrectly. contact your service provider" when I try to put in the Network Unlock code. This means he's tried to unlock the phone too many times right? How would I go about using the Unfreeze code?

I've been trying to unlock my friend's phone, but it appears he's tried an incorrect code too many times and thus it does not give him the option to type in the network unlock code after putting in a foreign SIM. How do I go about using the Unfreeze code sgux.exe gave me?

I've tried just about everything I could find on Google, but Odin refuses to go past "file analysis". I'm trying to flash JH2 Here's everything I've tried 1) Change USB port 2) Administrator mode and XP SP3 compatibility (i'm on w7 x64) 3) Re-partition checked/unchecked 4) Rebooted phone 5)...

Any idea how to enable/unhide this feature under wireless networks? :p Switching to 2G only nearly doubles my battery life on my Nexus

Are there any protectors out there that retain the bare glass feel? :D I don't care about finger prints or glare, just don't want any scratches :) I've fallen in love iwth how smooth the screen is :p

Hey, just got my HD2 today and threw the HTC Sense V5 android ROM on :) Anyway, when I hit the "end call" button to put the phone to sleep, the button lights don't seem to turn off. Is this a known issue? Or am I doing something wrong? :p

AT&T, with their infinite wisdom, decided to remove the front facing camera from the Captivate as to keep video calling "exclusive" to the iPhone 4. Bastards! Anyway, is there any version of the Galaxy S out there that supports 850/1900 3G AND comes with the front camera? I know Rogers is...

Is there a ONE CLICK 2G/3G toggle widget? I've tried Extended Power Control, but that toggle only opens up the Mobile Networks page, so it becomes a 2 click toggle. I know HTC roms have this toggle so why not others? :p I've tried searching around but couldn't find any
