I have it unlocked for the greater choice of roms. But maybe some features like the camera work better if you keep it locked. (I don't know since I unlocked mine directly after unboxing.)

There's here itself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.here.app.maps It's still a beta, but works for me. MapsWithMe (offline) and google maps (online) aren't bad either. Maybe there's a specific app for public transport in your area, too.

[Q] Photos with blurred borders and focus at center

Hi,
my Xperia S in the last months have problems with focus.
Camera photos have focus only in the center and the borders are blurred. Like Photoshop blur filter.
No one have this problems ? May be the rom ? It's stock Rom ICS .55
Before i had no problems.
Thanks for your replies!
LL
ps this is an example ogt my problems. All photos are as this one. Changing scenes or settings doesn't solve problem.
Do you have any case on your xs ? Or something near the camera ?
"Sad is happy for deep people" Sally Sparrow
correct me if im wrong but i think you're using manual settings
now in manual settings dont set your metering to center, set it to average and take a sample shot..and set your focus to multi auto focus
post another sample shot with these settings
Something is disturbing the lens sight. Remove your back cover, clean the lens with a soft cloth and try again without the back cover or anything else.

Seems more like macro mode.

First you must see the photo then you can try to help. This isn't macro. He has a problem with camera. Look at photo.
None of these ....
I've already cleaned the camera with a soft clooth, testing all focus modes , reset phone.
None of these test works. The issue is present from 2 months , before i've no problems.
I think it's an hardware issue ...
Probably i want to upgrade my phone to Galaxy Note 2 so i'm thinking to sell it... what do you think ? Anybody tried the note 2 ?

It is not compatible with your device. When I said before that you don't read carefully you didn't believe me.

First, how can you install it if it's not compatible with the device and operating system (only way is to modify the app itself). If you are an IT technician at least you should know that.
Second, I don't see what is retarded in my post. You have screen shot, I didn't used any insulting words as you do so......
But whatever, think as you wan't, anyway everybody here think of you as in mature person.
I will not go to any further discussions with you.
Find the apk for it, and it should work perfectly fine.
Also, may I ask why you want that app? It looks deprecated.

believe me i ve tried everything .. and last target was here to create this thread..
Here you go. It's an mdpi app, so it doesnt scale well on 720p screens.
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ use this the next time u want to dl an apk
Also, be aware that it tests to a Hong Kong server and the ping and speed may be quite alot slower than it is locally.

NOw am trying to get it on iP5 will have to find some way .. heh

[Q] GPS tracking awful - P6 wrong decision?

generally i'm using Endomondo Pro for tracking my sports activity (jogging), but with the P6 it seems nearly impossible to get good and correct tracking :crying:
I tried it now several times with several different ROMS and Tools , but the tracked GPS data is really awful...
With my last two smartphones (HTC HD2 , RAZR XT910) the tracking was much much better ...
Does anybody uses this phone also for GPS tracking with better experience (or does this phone have an ****ty GPS :crying: ) ??
When yes please tell me which ROM and which Tools..
thanks in advance ! m

Sorry to tell you this, but i've had the same problems since I bought the phone in August... Tried a lot of ROMs and GPS tools with no luck. Apparently some people's P6 has a perfectly working GPS, but some of us didn't have that luck. No idea where the problem comes from, I wish I knew.
Here a track from my p6. Saved with locus pro and firmware b507. I think it is perfect.
Sent from my P6-U06 using xda app-developers app
Yes tracking works fine sometimes. The problem is that sometimes you wont get a lock in a one hour run. I have several 0km ~30min bike rides saved with sports tracker along with a larger stack of incomplete tracks. Samsung galaxy s and had no problems what so ever for a couple of years - and i didnt even fix the ****ty antenna on it.
Factory reset helps for a while, so i think its a software related issue. Gps just wont wake up when the app needs it.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Ahh, GPS wont wake up and no icon in statusbar? This issue have any people. I think this is a hardware problem. On my P6 GPS is all time viable when i need it.
Here one tip, but it only help it is a software problem:
-copy attached apk to \system\priv-app\
-set rights to 644
-reboot
-set "location mode" to "High Accuracy"
I use this gps.conf file from the LG flex and it works just fine...replace this gps.conf with the one in system/etc/ ... If you can't replace the file, use RootExplorer with root permission :cyclops:
Well, I used to have problems with GPS all the time. Since I've sent the phone back to the repair centre it works much way better...

I am using the ROM -> [ROM][4.4.4][ Unofficially Omni ROM | Ascend P6 from SUDRU_Petru

no gps.conf edit or any other edit. It just works !!!

install and Use Google Camera Mod In Sony Xperia XA1 ULTRA

Yes,I'm download many version and install use it but it always not responding....
But finally I found one version of it that can be use in Sony Xperia XA1 ULTRA.(Maybe is the only one version that can be use)
And that is MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.3.6_manual_focus.apk or MGC_5.1.018_v2e_tolyan009_v1.3.6.apk
yes technically it is two version but hey the different is just can manual focus and not manual focus only
FYI:Sony XA1 ULTRA have camera2 api,no need to install rom.
But using this app is pretty useless,because sony doesn't support HDR+,slow motion,portrait mode,panorama,photo sphere,raw photo and etc.
Support feature is only lens blur.(Maybe got some feature that can be use but I miss it)Some situation using this feature is pretty good though.
And yes why I'm still love taking photo using this app is because oem camera app taking photo time was too long!!! :crying:
Taiwan forum got some buddy using this version at there Sony Xperia Z5.(So maybe is the only version that can be use in Sony mobile??)
Comment it and let me know about it.

You can try and install it.If you can use it Then congratulation for you because I can't use it
IV been around
Sony has a modified camera api 2 support. Unless someone makes a port that's universal you will never get the google camera to do slow motion. And yes i'v noticed it's slow when using hdr. Using a different camera app will not give you access to some features sony offers. I get it the camera is slow sometimes, but your giving up decent features for load time. I think maybe your thinking your taking a step foward but really a step back. Maybe multiples. If you truly want google cam, you need to drop stock and find a way to compile aosp. Which sony dev stop supplying access to kernel sources which means no more aosp for xa1 ultra. After this oreo update, I heard this could be its last update and declared eol. End of life

Feature Reauest Thread

Thinking about whipping something up as im bored and have access to an a50. What features for a rom would be wanted?
I think one of the most important requests of the community would be to enable camera2api on this phone to be able to use GCam's night mode... but one can only dream
Bro Aosp Rom with Fp and Bt Calls working will be appreciated since fp optical and chipset is exynos thats the main bugs in GSI roms now availiable
bro join the a50 telegram group easy to commuciate there
Please enable camera2api so we can install gcam.
Aosp rom :fingers-crossed:

Custom fingerprint animations

I'm just getting back into the community after years, the a50 gets no love. I like it, myself. I would love to join any groups. Im just tipping toes in rn tho yall its been a long absence
Aosp is def on the list, but everyone know im a touchwiz kinda dude

Is this true that Camera2api will be enabled automatically with android 10 update?

Is there a Samsung device who got that with the Android 10 update?
Maybe someone said it earlier , or maybe not . However I am saying . Also please correct me if i am wrong as i am less experienced .
1. We really like to use Secure folder . Considering adding that patch .
2. HDR on 25MP would be very nice.
3. I don't really know whether camera2api can be enabled with full level 3 support since manufacturer limited it . Please take a look .
4. Samsung DEX app maybe a very good choice.
5 .Edge lighting and edge screen is much preferred
6. ROM CONTROL would be nice ❤
7. Aroma installer with pre-rooted magisk
8. Custom changeable fingerprint animation [ I am too noob ]
9. Always on dolby atmos ( like yash bro's lightrom )
10. Smart capture ( though it's available to stock )
11. Auto call recorder support for all regions
12. Jetblack UI ( like lightrom = #000000 )
13. Fake Knox 0x0 status . Device status official
14. Vibration control ,multiple wallpaper feature
15. Some oneui2 features maybe...............
16.Silent Camera , Ability to play music in camera ,Ability to use camera in call, Build.prop tweaks , Speed tweaks,
Battery tweaks, Disabled Ads , Init.d Support, Ability To Disable Screen on when a Message is Received , GoodLock apps , patched Dual Messenger for all user apps , Dual speaker mod , Disabled high brightness warning , Patched liboemcrypto for Netflix ,
Don't get mad at me bro . I am not forcing you . Just giving suggestions .THANKS :like
Definitely some type of desktop UI would be great, but I'm not sure how we could use it. (USB 2.0 port) One thing sure we got a big nice screen
Cam2api is the main thing we want for night sight and portrait gcam

At least Android 10 with One UI 2.0 brought a better manual mode to the Galaxy S9 and S10, with a possibility to change the exposure time and aperture. Let's hope that this feature is also added to the A50 when Android 10 arrives.

I don't think we will get these, because why would we have limitations right now? But lets hope the best! Maybe there is a way for that api2 unlock.
I saw a magisk module for api2 unlock, has anyone tried it?

Adding line on build prop also doesn't work .
Do you know why ? Bcz it's already enabled but limited .
