It's HAPPENING!
I was reading Android L APIs reference book and found out that Google finally added RAW file support for Android.
This will be a huge plus point for camera-oriented Android smartphones such as Xperia Z1 and Z2!
I hope Sony will bring this in for next update

That's actually a big improvement. Although Sony will have to manually add it in through there camera app

this doesnt mean that sony will implement it. i really doubt they will, but this opens possibilities for 3rd party camera apps and this i am 100% sure someone will do
its now or never sony, we will see the real sensor and lens capabilities now

i doubt sony will ever support it.
as freedcam developer write in his post, sony locked the raw function

our z2 have the best sensor, but not the best software/driver.

There's app on Google store called Manual Camera, you can take photo in raw format and much more options but of course it works only on Lollipop.

From the image posted, i can't see any improvement in the quality of the photo other than the brightness which could be down to the weather. The detail is just as rubbish with the new firmware. Photos with the SP look like they've been taken with one of those cheap tiny spycam's that people attach to their bikes.
My older Xperia S (upgraded firmware) photo quality is much better than the Xperia SP which is a shame because initially i hated the Xperia S photo quality (mainly focus problems though) which is why i was so desperate to upgrade to a new phone. I feel like a muppet thinking Sony would learn the mistakes from the past and yet here they go again, the company that makes the actual hardware and sells it to other phone makers but apparently it has no clue how to refine the software to get the best results while others with Sony's hardware manage to get better results.

New firmware (17.1.1.A.0.438) certified for Xperia Z2

Heads up folks!
Sony Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet owners can look forward to a new update as firmware build number 17.1.1.A.0.438 has just been certified by the PTCRB. This would update the firmware from the current build of 17.1.1.A.0.402. We’ll keep you posted when it starts to roll.

Good One hoping for it to release real soon

4.4.3 most likely wont come, this is from the same build set as the current set
This should be a fix/repair/patch release
Im hoping they fix Xreality and noise canceling, they have both stopped working after the 402 update

[APP] Wear screenshot | Take screenshots of your watch!

Hello everyone, recently I bought my first smartwatch, lg g watch, and the first that I wanted to make is share a screenshot with the watchfaces, android wear OS and how it works, but, although the oficial app of android wear has the capability to do screenshots, I was not able to share it through whatsapp, twiter... So I begin to develop my own app for my watch, and here is.
The app is so easy to use.
STEPS
1 - Go to android wear app, and click on take a screenshot.
2 - Then click on notification and select wear screenshot, the app.
3 - The app will appear and the image will be stored on the phone, then you can see the image, share it where you want and delete it.
So, the app is not free, but I want to share it here in xda, because thanks to the comunity and all the people here my previus app was a success for me, and then if do you think that the app worth it, you can buy it.

If you have any problem, leave me a reply
I need some feedback, I tried in my phone and it works okey, but idk in others.
Thanks!
Now the app works using another method. Now only needs to go to the android wear app and click on take a screenshot, then select this app and the image will be stored on the phone and you can see it, share it or delete it.
I hope you enjoy the app.

Fingerprint to sign in to apps

My previous phone was the Galaxy S6 and it allowed me to use my fingerprint to sign in to apps.
My nexus 6p doesn't. Is there a setting I need to enable to get this feature?
Here's a picture from my wife's gs6

Here's a screenshot from my nexus 6p
Notice how her galaxy s6 has three option to sign in using her fingerprint but mine doesn't?
How do I get the nexus 6p to allow this?
Both phones are running game through most recent version of the bank of America app.

Apps will have to be update to allow for nexus fingerprint. Samsung uses own proprietary app that BOA app was updated to work with. They will come eventually as more phones go to this method.
It says it right in the app description:
"Note: Fingerprint sign-in is currently only supported for select Samsung devices. We’ll be adding support for more devices in future releases."

Mostly because most still think it's a gimmick like 3d screens. Once it has been common place for a year or so you will see more adaption...if it lasts that long.
