Hey I just bought my S3 and I recognized that my camera has got a failure.?
When I want to capture a video there is One Pixel which flickers white :/ Am I the only person who has this problem ?
This problem occurs when I want to record a video but when I capture a photo there's no white flickering Pixel.
Is this a warranty problem ?

There's nothing wrong in that screenshot, it seems to me that your screen has that problem.
Actually when you zoom WAY in there is something.
Try take it back.

I'll try. The resolution is very small ( the xda app Dosen't Support bigger pictures )
Don't worry about it, it's only one pixel.

I had the same problem. The only incident that I remember might cause this problem is that I rooted my mobile using the Samsung GS3 toolkit v1.0. I did that yesterday only. (See the firmware info attached). Since then, the camera app has same symptoms you mentioned and a dialog box: "Warning: Camera Failed" and a lovely "OK" button. (attached as well)

Dears,
I was able to fix the camera problem. Thank God.
I installed the SGS3 International toolkit v 4.0, used the rooting options to re-root the phone (Flash insecure Boot Image and Root Phone), made sure that the Busybox is installed, then rebooted.
It went fine with me and the camera is working now. I am attaching the images of the Kernel version. May be the whole problem was with the ninphetamin3-1.1.0 that was used to set a higher clock speed? Not pretty sure.

Hi everyone,
I used LG2 for quiet some times. I found that the knock on feature is very handy. Anyone could found any app that resemble that?
You've posted in the wrong section, but the only one I could find (I only searched for two minutes) was the whole G2 launcher that includes the knock on feature. It looks like it works on most phones, but you're also forced to use the ugliest and worst launcher in the world.
You must be rooted and you can download it here:

So.. Does that mean that the feature is not a low level one? Meaning we can program it on top level?

I just tried that, by pushing apps with right permissions in system/app, but it doesn't work.
I don't know if there's a switch to turn that on or off, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work at all, it's just a simple launcher with no functions at all...

Double tap to wake is a function of the kernel. It has been around long before the G2 in custom kernels (i.e. HTC One with Bulletproof kernel). It is on the Z tablet and a shame Sony did not bring it to the Z Ultra.

I just use Screen Off app from the Playstore. Why should I double tap if I can just single tap it's app icon to make the screen sleep and lock?! To wake it is another thing though. I tested some kernel back then with my SG Note II that do that (touch screen to wake) but it was buggy!
So, it would be if we could find this feature in Google Play (with or without root). I am willing to donate for this feature. Especially the phone is big, would be nice if we can turn on the screen without having to pick up the phone from the table.

There are at least 10 options to turn the screen off, and only half of them require root.
The cool thing to do would be turning the screen ON, or better yet, having the possibility to turn it on and off with two taps on the screen.
If you ever try an LG G2 you will know why that would be cool.
I personally use GMD gesture and turn the screen off pinching three fingers, that's really showing off with all my colleagues and friends...

Well after using this device, a double tap gesture is not that required and maybe introducing additional issue considering its size and weight distribution in the hand. Plus with the flip case it comes with, turn off and on based on proximity sensor is the more elegant way to run this beast. I made my self a tasker script for that and i love it all the more

You know, I really don't seem to get the grip of Tasker. I install it once in a while, try something, nothing ever works, I give up and uninstall it.
I would really like a full guide on this neat program.
I bet you could even make a task for waking up/putting to sleep the phone by a tap on the SmartWatch 2 (a user made a Tasker extension for it here on XDA)...

Just search for "wave2wake" in the PlayStore app...
Works for me, but it's way too sensitive. And sometimes it just won't notice when I wave.
I say it definitely needs more development, but seeing that since I installed it (yesterday) it already received an update, I also say we're in good hands.

Thanks for this. Tried it and it works. But I went for Every Cover as I'm using a flip cover and it'll be good to make the screen on/off when i close/open it.

I always asked myself if GRam works with AOSP or not. However From my experience with AOSP roms this past week, I can insure you that it does indeed work! I am amazed by the battery life! Yesterday I got 1.5 days (around 36hrs with 6hrs screen onn i could never do that on stock).
See my current usage now. Attached screenshots.
Edit: for some reason i cannot attach a single screenshot, that is after 11.5hrs on battery.

I read that it's only available on LG Roms but that was just here in the forum, so maybe not the most reliable source. I didn't try aosp yet, but the battery life I get with the Stock Rom is just insane:

Nice battery life! I never went above 4 or 5 hrs screen on stock!
Ok I can see you are running G2 xposed module and you running probably on 400dpi or even less.
Any other things you disabled? Knock on? Smart stay? Location?
Would you please elaborate your settings and usage. Also what is your rom and kernel?
Thx!

Pretty sure that's hardware but I too wonder if there's anything software involved.
As for me, QuickRemote and LG Camera are the only stock features I use.. On AOKP 4.3. Screw that fugly stock rom.

I'm running on stock rom and stock kernel. I have disabled locations for google apps, all other apps including wheather are able to check for locations. I have sync enabled for gmail, facebook, wheather, whatsapp and exchange. As you can see I was on wifi most of the time and a few hours on 2G/3G/H. You are right with that xposed stuff! Currently running at 380dpi. My screen brighness is on auto with a preset of 50%. My usage behaviour is moderate and includes checking facebook, whatsapp, emails and xda app. I also do much browsing and a few benchmarks and camera shots. I don't play games that much. Personally I think that disabling NFC, GPS and bluetooth saves you a lot of battery. Smart Stay is also disabled because I don't really need that and it's keeping the sensors awake all the time. I should also mention that I have a flip cover with Quick Window enabled. I hope this helps you a little bit. Most of the battery drain is caused by unneccesary wakelocks.I can recommend to check these wakelocks with an app called 'wakelock detector'. As you can see, in my case there is only 1% of wakelocks, where others have 10-20% and this is what's causing the high battery drain. It's all about optimisation! If you have further questions please feel free to ask (but rather in the battery thread cause this might become a bit off topic).

Knock-On, Wireless storage, Quick Remote, Clip Tray...
Aptx, gram, quick remote, wireless storage, legit knock on. Ohh yeah, stability.
I used to use clip tray. Loved it. Missing from aosp roms though.
knock on, quick reply, smart screen, quick remote..
until proper replacement app is found, no AOSP for me.
I own a rooted C6802 with unlocked bootloader.
I am looking for a screen unlocker app in which screen can be unlocked without using the power or volume buttons.
I tried a few apps which use proximity sensor or mic ..... but they fail to unlock the screen. They lock the screen alright though!
Any one know of such app?
Hi, I've been using Gravity Screen, and it works pretty well using either motion, proximity sensor, or both. Play Store link at

Hello musebox,
Are you still using this with success?
I have been testing it for a couple weeks now, and have noticed it uses much battery.
Are you having similar experience?
Would you mind sharing your configuration?

I had the same experience a while ago. It drains the battery as the sensor is on all the time
Thanks for the reply SÜPERUSER.
This app would be much useful if it used less battery! It’s the only on screen app that is working with my Xperia Z Ultra.
Hi, I didn't notice either way at the time, so I don't think much battery was used. However, I've been using my nexus 6 more often lately.

I keep reading about the lesser photo quality of CM/AOSP compared to stock but I can't really see it.
I've used stock LP, then Cloudy's 2.2, then Euphoria and to be perfectly honest I can't see it. I'm a terrible photo nut and enthusiast and made many many comparison shots, but to my eye, picture quality on CM/AOSP is nothing but great.
For a little context, I've just very recently switched to the G2, coming from Xperia Z1 and there the difference between stock and CM/AOSP was incredible. Stock was so so much better, however I can't say the same about the G2.
And I'm not using any fancy 3rd party camera apps, just Google's camera and I find picture quality to be stellar. Honestly... What's the deal?
Here at some shots taken with Euphoria and Google camera (and a clip-on macro lens, but that doesn't improve quality... It just magnifies) are they anything but great?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
I have to agree with you here. I have strained my eyes multiple times across all sorts of apps and stock cameras, and I just cant really see a discernible difference.
If any difference, I think its mostly due to post processing done by the stock app and the colour corrections etc.
Nice, informative post this.
Those are all very good pictures. The quality is good but all of those photos were taken with good lighting. CM/AOSP really struggles to focus and give proper quality in low light.
what about front camera ?
and what about low light shooting conditions - from what I've heard, that's where stock shines

same for me, i think just "mental paranoia:good:"
Those pictures just amazing. How much post processing did you do?
Personally I find aosp cameras slow to focus and very slow between shots. I consistently miss shots especially little ones. That's why I just stick to stock and does the job nicely.
Other thing is video mode, on stock you can pause and continue recording and I find it very useful. And if am not mistaken only stock can use ois
Yeah, a few of those were taken in very good light, but some weren't. Also there is no processing of any sort in any of those shots.
And regarding low light conditions, quality is not bad at all. See these for instance - no noise, no artefacting, blacks are black like they're supposed to be.
Again, these are straight from Google camera, no processing of any kind.

Honestly, as far as good lighting goes AOSP and stock are very similar.
The most noticeable feature is the nightmode as stock has a higher maximum ISO/working HDR. There's the ported stock camera which does wonders in nightmode, but not so much for HDR.
Forgot to mention, I mean the most noticeable differences are in VERY dark areas, or a panoramic view of city lights at night.

There were a couple of different DPI versions, I have no idea which one is this. I'm assuming it's the stock 480dpi. I use a 360dpi and I have a 360dpi .apk if you need it.

Second one has a bit less color distortion.
Thats the Google camera on default settings. First one is ported stock, on default settings. However, things start to change when you begin to lower the ISO. Then you can see the stock camera IS superior. Lowering the exposure to -1/-2 on Google's camera helps with better low-light shots, but the stock one is clearly better.
