Quick camera question

I've noticed 2 things that are a little bothersome, seeking opinions.

1)When you take a macro, there is a sever aberration on the edges, beyond just bokeh. It almost looks like a motion blur. Is this a manufacturer blemish? Or are others noticing this too?

2)Would scratches on the laser cover screw with the ability to focus? I'd think that the lasers might skew and get confused....

Thanks!

Galaxy A3 Battery Problem (Answers please.. REAL QUICK!!!)

Hey.. I just bought a new galaxy a3 and after that i saw some battery problems:
1. When charging, instead of increasing, it decreases (ex. 30% becomes 24%)
2. Sometimes.. battery percentage is stuck at 42% for 12 hours.. nothing happens
3. Takes too much time to charge.. 12 hours from 0% to 42%

I tried:
1. Performing data reset
2. Restore by odin (from lollipop to kitkat.. but it made it worse)
3. Rebooting the system

Any help guys? I need this phone for school and communication purposes. Pls. Answer real quick.. TIA :)

Quick help please re home screens

Hi, my phone has randomly decided to mix my home screens up so that now my main home screen is number 3 or so and the new main screen (house picture along bottom of screen) is a previously unused screen which is blank. So every time i turn my phone on i have to flick around to find my original home screen which is very slow and annoying. How do i re set the order of my screens so that my original one is the main (house picture) screen which appears whenever i use my phone? Thanks!

S6 Active quick settings

Am I going crazy or does the two finger down swipe not work on this phone to open the quick settings panel? I can't find any way to enable the two finger swipe gesture. Has anyone else noticed this?

Quick help with new S5

Ok, I've been running a Note 2 for a VERY long time since released. ROMing, rooting, etc was super simple and did it often. However, its been a year or more since I've had to do anything. Now with my new phone it seems there are a lot of new hoops to jump through. I already got the AT&T has detected something yada yada you're screwed yada yada and had to flash back stock firmware with Odin.

So I have rooted with towelroot. I've tried installing the TWRP via their app which caused the first soft AT&T brick.
I don't care about warranty, timer fuse, flash ticker etc etc. I bought the S5 new but second hand. I hate asking to be spoon fed how or where to look but I'm at my wits end. Don't even have to say anything just provide some links. I havent been on a stock android in years and this is killing me.

I've read something about needing Loki to bypass bootloader but saw it's for S4 and not sure what to do with it.
I have the US version of the Galaxy S5 running 4.4.2 Model 900A. I see CWM and TWRP links I've found say they can't do to bootloader lock so not sure where to go.

Thanks ahead of time!

Quick review of the Note 5

So I was at Best buy and played with the 5 for an hour. I tested it side by side with my Note 4. I ran a number of apps and it is a little quicker than the 4, but not in any wow factor way. Camera did open faster and the left multitasking didn't have the lag that my Note 4 has. The screen is slightly more saturated, but again, not really significantly. Side by side they look the same, in fact it's really hard to see the difference (especially if it was in a case).

Exterior is nice and it is slightly narrower, but unfortunately my fingers kept sticking to the glass back.

The 6+ is nice, and I like the new side launcher. Both devices are just supersized s6 and s6 edges.

Feels like when a car company goes from its 2014 to 2015 model. It's basically the same with a few bells and whistles.

Aside from SD and no removable battery (which are probably deal killers for me anyway), I could not justify buying this device unless the price was 0. Then I would put up with the compromise of no sd and changeable battery. But no way I would spend 0-900, especially with other offerings coming up. I bet I am not alone here.

Nothing out there today is a step up from the note 4, for me anyway. This should have been the note 4. I think Samsung has a problem on its hands. I hope I am wrong.

CHOETECH 15600mAh Quick Charge 2.0 Dual USB Portable Power Bank

I got this unit a few weeks ago and the benefits are clearly visible even after this short time of using it.

Let us start with the appearance. It is big and heavy due to the 15600mAh capacity, which keeps on going like an energizer bunny. Can also be used as a weapon. The outside case is well made and has an appealing design. One of the features I like is the LEDs, which displays the battery status while charging or being charged. What really impressed me is the Quick Charge 2.0-Technology. It works exactly like the 2.0 wall chargers in terms of how fast it charges the phone. For example, CHOETECH battery and the 2.0 wall charger both charged my phone in identical time, on the other hand, using the regular 2.1A wall charger and another 2.1A portable battery took roughly 45-60 minutes longer per 50%. The unit itself took 7 hours to charge from 0-100% using the quick charge technology. In comparison, my 12000mAh portable battery takes 12 hours to charge using the same wall charger. One other very useful feature is the ability to charge the unit using either micro USB or Lightning to USB Cable (Apple). If you forget your charging cable, chances are that someone near you has one or the other.

Overall, I highly recommend the CHOETECH QC-2.0 15600mAh 2-Port USB Portable Charger External Battery Power Bank. It does the job very well. The large capacity and multi USB ports allows for fast charging of multiple devices. And once they are charges, there is more than enough juice to charge two more devices.

LS990 - quick question on going zv4 to zv8

What I've got
A rooted LS990 on ZV4 (done on Octopus box from a repair shop) stock, official sprint rom. I get 'restricted access changed' notification, sometimes 'hands free activation message' and on mobile data I see 'GSM' icon circling even though I have a 3G SIM in it. The phone doesn't have TWRP but I see SuperSU installed. I don't know if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.

What I'd like to have
bone-stock 5.0.1 official sprint rom on ZV8. and the ability to use this SIM I'm currently using.

Suggestions/recommendation needed on how to go about it. I don't see any OTA on the phone. I just need confirmation from you guys. If possible, please point me to the exact posts.

Quick charger Killing My Battery

I have been using quick charger to charger my N6 since I got this phone in 12/2014. I had no problem until recently my phone will power off itself when its battery gets to 15%. Before, 15%of better life will lasts me another 15-30 mins. I charges 2-3 times a day using quick charger and I think it's killing the battery!!! Anyone had similar issue?

Quick question about ODIN and MDK.

I've had my S4 for 2 years now and not once have I ever ODIN back to stock and re-rooted. I'm thinking of doing this only because I have flashed so many ROMs that I feel like a ODIN might clean up some left over files. My question is, will this help at all? I know doing a full wipe clears the sdcard and other things, but what about the root folder? See picture attached.

Alarm muted when using 'side keys behaviour' - can somebody test (quick test!)

Hi I was wondering if I was alone on this but ever since the new update, my alarm would not sound (but screen turns on) if the alarm is using either the Snooze or Dismiss 'Side keys behaviour'. The alarm does sound when the side keys behaviour is set to none though! I've tried both using mp3 files and the default ringtones.

Extra details:
I found that using default ringtones will make the alarm sound BUT for only half a second and never again.
Phone is not on silent mode and alarm volume is up.
Phone is up to date, tried restarting but no differences

Thanks for reading!.

Need quick info on modding Z2 & specific advices

Hello ya all

I got my Z2 out of some deal, and I need to ask you couple of things, but first to explain myself.

1. I ALWAYS prefer AOSP rather than anything manufacturer made. Till now I had all the Galaxy S models except S6 and I always went for AOSP/Slim versions of roms. Couldnt ever wrap my head around TW and I generally prefer that my phone runs on original android, closer to Vanilla.

2. what's the deal with unlocking BL .. ? I went over some threads but It is a bit overwhelming. I figured that I need to unlock the BL in order to use AOSPs ?

3. Is Sony's customization as annoying as TW .. ? As someone who never uses Sense or TW, Im probably not going to like whatever Sony is using also (xperia UI name .. ? ) ?

4. A friend recommended Pure X ROM, and told me it would be a partial solution for my needs, doenst require BL Unlock.. ?

Waht would you guys recommend for me .. ? should I go all the way and install AOSP or do you think there is a ROM that would suit me ? Thanks to all in advance
