Force Rom question camera iso settings - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi guys I just flashed force Rom and I'm loving the rom
But i read some great tips for the sgs4 to get crisp pictures that require the iso settings to be changed
But Everytime I change them in the auto camera settings they end up reverting back to auto
Does anyone know of anything I can do to make sure the settings stay?
Thanks

Problem with receiving phone calls since updating to XXJPU

Since I updated my phone to firmware JPU, people try to ring me and it doesn't show up on my phone, my phone vibrates for like a second but I don't see any notification showing any call coming through, anyone know what the problem could be and how to solve it?

Samr happened to me. The vibrate that occurs is a force close. I wadnt able to find any other soloution for this bu to flash a different firmware.

I hoping someone else has problem, and has a solution, I like this firmware and don't really wanna flash again and have to restore all my apps.

Has no one else had this problem since upgrading?
I have JPU (but in the form of darky's rom v5.2) and the phone rings fine, so I'm not sure if the problem lies in the jpu rom (but maybe it was a bug that darky fixed in the rom, not sure). Unfortunately, I don't know how one would solve this without flashing, but if you are gonna flash, then I really recommend darky's rom, it's one of the best out there atm.
I flashed the low level package with ODIN and phone calls have been fine. Actually asked someone to call me to make sure lol, been a quiet weekend....

I can only guess you have a bad app or you have old settings left from other firmware.
Its nothing wrong with jpu firmware.
**Using my own JPU kernel, z4mod, 339MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
I hope you are not using setcpu .. i had this kind of problem when using secpu ..
Well I've re-flashed now, and didn't restore system data and everything is great now.
P.S. anyone know how to stop 2 notifications every time I get a message, one comes through Handscent and one through the the standard messaging app.

That sounds like it's something that you have to change with your provider. I am with 3 aus and switched off the option to be sms reminded every missed call and it's unnecessary especially seeing as though the phone has that functionality and if you have voice mail you should be sweet to go. Good luck!

You need to go to the stock samsung Messaging app, then press Menu button to go into Settings, and scroll all the way down to 'Notification Settings' and untick the Notifications option. Now you should only receive it through Handcent only.
My friend had the same problem.
Here is the solution:
1, flash XXJPU
2, do a factory reset and wipe data + cache from recovery menu
3, do not restore system apps from titanium backup, just the 3rd party softwares.
That's all, the phone app will work.
The problem is, the old phone app leaves some cache and other crap and the new phone app doesn't works. That's way the solution is factory reset and wipe data + cache.
I hope it helps you. You do not need to flash again the phone, etc. Just do what I wrote.
Not a FW problem
Hi, this happend to me with XFJP7 FW. It started after I did several things:
1) did fix permissions in CWM
2) tried stock lockscreen (didn't work the several times, but finally worked)
3) restore with TitaniumBackup
I had backup of /system/framework directory, but restoring it didn't help. I ended up with flashing again with selective restore. Didn't try stock lockscreen nor fix permissions yet.

Probably same source here which also causes the "No-Vibration-Issue".
In most cases this is being caused by using a Lockscreen-/ Extended Power Menu-/ Circle-Battery-Mod that wasn't originally build and modified especially for your firmware. There's only a limited amount of ressources available for the system.
In some cases they first -seem- to work fine.
But in the backgound they (mostly) disable or block other functions because your new firmware wants to use the same registers or adresses (which the "wrong Mod" uses) for other os-functions.
In the end, I just re-flashed and only restored apps instead of system data + apps and now its working fine. Bingo!
When I receive a call, first the lockscreen shows up on my screen (instantly) for like a second and then it changes and I can answer the call. I have stock android lockscreen and 2.2.1. Do you think I have the same problem as others here or is this a different one?

[HELP] "process status bar has stopped..." - flashed framework-res.apk

Hi guys
I was trying to change my battery icon using the file here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13688277&postcount=87
I overwrote the original framework-res.apk and the reboot.
But now as soon as my phone starts and tries to show the home screen i get a dialog box saying:
"The application %1$s (process %2$s) has stopped... The process Status bar has stopped unexpectedly Please try again".
It then immediately restarts, i cannot get in root explorer to be able to change the framework-res.apk back to original.
Can someone please help! The USB-Debugging is not on i think , but i can't get into the settings to enable it if its off.
What should i do. someone please help.
Rooted SGSII running KE2.
Do i have to follow this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13712988&postcount=1
and flash stock SGSII rom and basically start from scratch with all my apps and settings ? (I really hope not).
please tell me there is an easier way to fix this.
Go to settings > applications > Manage applications > All. Find status bar in the list and press force close and then clear data. Reboot.

I cannot do that. As soon as the Main UI displays (homescreen) , one second after that the phone reboots. homescreen appears frozen too, menu/home/back buttons don't do anything.

i guess the price to pay for being a Android modding rookie is painful manual restoration of how the phone looked!
I hope Market will recognize all the apps i bought (20+) otherwise that's alot of money ($100+) gone down the drain !

You won't lose your purchases, they are tied to your google account even if you switch device.

This is because the SGS2 has /data completely separate from the system.. it only makes a fresh /data if /data is missing. So when you flash just the system, your data is left alone.
thanks for the info RyanZA, i'm glad they way it this way otherwise i would have been screwed.

"Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" won't stop popping up. So frustrating.

The phone is brand new, I just got it in yesterday and had it only for a day.
I was using swype, and just uninstalled it, and when I rebooted the phone, that error keeps popping up and won't go away, making it unable for me to use the phone.

Factory reset?

I guess that's my last resort. Damn
Edit: How would I even factory reset it? I literally can't use the phone. It's bricked. And in the recovery mode menu there is no option to factory reset. (tried pressing power and volume up)
If your phone is still locked, save the data (if needed) via adb and unlock it. But there could be easier way.

go to gmail account settings and sync everything. Google play will have your apps backup but not app data. Save all music, pics and files that you dont want to lose to your computer. Then just go to backup and reset in your settings menu and select Factory Data reset.
if that doesnt solve your problem you might have to use fastboot to reinstall the Jellybean.

I've had something similar to this on my G2x at one point; Android keeps popping up with errors and you can't do a single thing but reboot...which ends up erroring the same way when you're back in in an endless loop.
OP, you'll have to wipe and reinstall. If you've rooted it and enabled USB debugging then you're golden. If not, you'll have to go through several hoops to flash a factory image.

I am having this situation right now for my Nexus 4 (running stock 4.2.2 and installed Quick Settings mod from kevdliu, use the ROM for a long time and one day want to wipe all, after wiping, and reboot system I got this) and I think I figured out the solution: Wait until the battery is exhausted and automatically turned off, then put it into the charger for some time. Then pull it out of the charger, press volume up + down + power to get into fastboot. From here, we can wipe all and flash a new rom, or restore to stock rom, or do anything fastboot can do.

why install quick settings when stock 4.2.2 comes with its own form of quick settings? I'm willing to bet that's your problem!

you haven't used stock 4.2.2 have you? Its quick settings is so frustrating, it always takes me to Settings to turn on or off Wifi. I want a quick Settings that takes only one click to turn on or off Wifi, so I have to install that mod. Btw, I'm still waiting for the battery to die

hey i know this thread was already answered but i found that this messaged popped up after changing some settings for the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. i didnt want it on my screen because i kept clicking either the back button or the home button which was very frustrating. so i tried to turn it off..that didnt work so instead i set all of the buttons to empty and the visibility to 0% and only after tracing back the steps i took (having to click the ok button for the stupid message about 80 times) i finally managed to find out that the navigation bar was the problem. hope you guys are able to fix your problem as simply as i did without doing anything drastic.

I recently had this issue and determined also that it must be something with my status/notification bar as it seemed to resize the screen to show the bar and then immediately resized it again as it displayed the System UI message. I use both Wanam and XBlast and disabled those as well as all Xposed modules. I also disabled Nova Launcher as default and rebooted. Re-enabled all and rebooted again and problem was resolved. Hopefully this will help others as well.

Hi I have huawei ascend y511 and after disabling google keyboard i turned off phone and put it back on. This happened. Help me please, How do I get it back to normal?

[Q] [4.4] Camera issue with KitKat?

I flashed the factory image of KitKat 4.4 on my Nexus 4 after wiping it clean (my phone was getting laggy so thought a fresh set up would be good). All is fine except for the camera which at times, just remains blank on launching - I see the camera type, shutter and the settings button but the screen is black and clicking any of the buttons doesn't do anything (see attached screenshot).
Only way to fix this is to reboot the phone. Anyone else facing this? Note that this does not happen all the time.
ALSO: This happens with both Dalvik & ART runtime.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Just to be safe first copy all ur pictures to a computer. Then go to settings > apps > gallery > clear data + cache. How did you flash stock image? I mean did you do it via toolkit or flashall.bat? Stay away from ART if possible. Its a very early build.

Thanks for your reply. I'll try clearing the cache and data of the gallery.
I flashed the stock image using flashall.bat with a full wipe of the phone (option -w).
I had another problem with Camera
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532755
Well this is also a camera issue.
I followed Efrant's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2010312) for flashing Android 4.4 stock image(I was previously on 4.3 rooted stock).
After the upgrade, when i tested the new stock camera app, I noticed that the Flash option is disabled(Flash symbol with strike-grayed out). I'm not able to change it to Flash or Auto-Flash mode. Then i downloaded another camera app(Focal cam), and there the Camera flash was working properly.So, I guess the problem is with Stock camera app(It seems to think that my N4 doesn't have an LED Flash).
Am I the only one facing this issue or are ppl out there with same issue ? I tried googling and searching here, but could not find this being mentioned before. Any work arounds (other than a 3rd party camera app) for this problem? If yes, then please let me know.

Google Photos - stuck backup

Hello people, I am new to this device and forum. I would appreciate any help you can give. I love the device, but I am struggling with something concerning Google Photos. It keeps getting stuck at various points in the backup process. I have searched several ways and have tried the suggestions about uninstalling updates, clearing the data cache, even purchased a new SD card... but still it is stuck. On previous phones, I have had NO problems with this at all on my previous phones. I have updated to MIUI 11 and I am using Nova Pro as my launcher. I have also tried using the Gcam mod on the phone and somehow I wonder if this is part of the issue?
Feedback please.
Solved with MIUI 11. Update and make full reset AFTER update (Settings --> About Phone --> Backup and reset --> Clean all data --> All).
Worked for me. If not, i dont know (try with another account?).

Thanks for the info! So, were you having similar issues before you did the reset? I have already updated to MIUI Global 11.0.4 but I have not tried the reset yet.
To help with this conversation... it seems that if I remove all the Google Photo updates, it behaves correctly, BUT when I allow the app updates to go through, the backup issue returns.
I will try the reset suggestion soon and report back.
To keep this discussion moving along, here is an update... I did the full reset after I had already upgraded to MIUI 11, however, the same issue persists for me. If I allow Google Photos to update past what was originally installed, the app gets stuck again. I can uninstall all updates and clear the caches and it will start working OK again. This is a pain and the issue should not exist. Let me emphasize that the devise is NOT rooted and is all original. I have installed Nova Prime launcher from the Play Store and my usual apps.
Anyone else have ideas - outside rooting and using a custom ROM?
Ok, to add a little more... I removed Nova as I wonder if there is some incompatibility with how it works with MIUI. It was acting a bit odd at times and "often" it would loose its ability to display notification badges. It would say that I needed to enable notification access, but I am 100% sure that it was already allowed. I would then turn that permission off and back on and it would start working again. So, I have gone to the less custome "Poco" launcher which is sup[posed to be a more official Xaiomi product.
