Camera not working
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a T-Mobile Compact 2 where all the camera activities are not working. It has been unlocked (successfully). I thought it might be s/w and downloaded the latest ROM from T-Mobile which updated me to v3 but did not improve situation (don't know whether upgrade includes camera s/w). The problem shows itself whenever a camera action is selected (either by camera button or by selecting camera in programs) - all that happens is that MS disc spins for 1 sec to show program is loading then vanishes - and that's it!. Can anyone help or tell me how to see whether it is s/w or h/w problem. Thanks
Greetings folks -
After spending countless hours compares various tablets (Ipad4, Nexus 10, Asus, etc.) I decided to go w/ the Nexus 10 - and I'm not going to lie, one of the many intriguing aspects of selecting an Android 4.0+ OS device was being able to use the 'face unlock' and 'liveness check' as a quick unlocking tool (I'm well aware of the short-comings of these features, it still just intrigues me).
After fiddling around w/ my Nexus 10 for 2 days, I decided to go into settings and enable that feature. Lo and behold, it was nowhere to be found. I confirmed that my unit was running the latest version of the OS and then called in the support center to figure out was going on. Surprisingly enough, I was the first person to ever call in regarding this - but it turns out that Face Unlock is currently NOT SUPPORTED at all on the Nexus 10. For some older Tablets w/VGA cameras, but that had still upgraded to 4.0, Google intentionally made Face Unlock inaccessible due fear that the poor camera resolution would render it obsolete. How on earth could that be the case with the Nexus 10 and its 1.9 MP front facing camera?
I'm curious to know if anybody knows anything regarding an estimated release date of this feature - and rather if Google has decided to scrap it all together? I feel like the Nexus 10 should be running the most powerful, up-to-date version of the OS available so I find it puzzling that this has been left off.
I realize this is a tiny feature; however, it's something I looked forward to being able to use.
Thanks in advance!
Stock 4.2 and 4.2.1 on the Nexus 10 have Face Unlock under security. It even is an option when the tablet is encrypted, which is new in 4.2, I think.
Weird - working fine on my stock 16 nexus 10. Are you sure you're looking at the right settings. You want security then screen unlock.
It definitely, works, and always has done, as has been said, it's under security, lock screen.
If your rom does not have face unlock option and your device is rooted
Grab the FaceLock.apk from any other rom having this future
Push the file to /system/apps/ and correct the permissions to 644
Reboot and you will have facelock option in lockscreen options

Hello, I am with FIDO Canada, I installed CM12 on D852 on February 13 Nightly version cm-12-20150213-NIGHTLY-d852.zip
I thought I give it few days and see how it works compared to other ROMS.. I tried Validus and had few bugs with ring volume not working and standby mode.
So far I have not found any bugs with CM12, runs super crazy fast, all my apps work, Bluetooth is even better than LG, reconnects automatically.
The only feature that I would like to have Auto switch in Data, like in LG it switches automatically between 2G,3G,LTE, this is missing in CM12 but I guess not a big deal (maybe can find app for it.)
Battery is great, maybe just tiny better from LG.
Contact list I way better with almost full screen picture when you dial someone.
For some reason cant play WAV files, player does not support it, will try to download other player.
CM12 is already rooted, you can enable/disable it in Developer options to use some other programs.
What I suggest to get:
In LG my icons were bigger which I really liked, in CM12 apparently you cannot make them bigger, everything is smaller but I installed Nova Launcher and even paid for it cause I really like it, you can enlarge your screen and everything is back from what I used to like, you can do so many fantastic things it is unbelievable, I highly recommend it have it installed.
Get Power Toggles!!!!!!! freaking great, makes your life easier.
Don't like camera, missing 4K. but I found better one which I really like and found it on some other forum. Don't remember where I download it but here is zip file you can google (MotoAppsMaterialAOSP.zip) and flash with TWRP.
By the way make sure you have backup and recovery TWRP version 2.8.3.0 the only version works with D852, don't get the latest.
It saved my life, I almost **** my pants few times and had to recover the phone. If you do not have this installed DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT INSTALLING ANY ROMS!!!. there is high chance you can screw this up and all is left garbage bin.
For now I leave it like this because it is really stable, not planning to install later CM12 nighties, for 2 reasons: afraid to make it worth and because I am tired reinstalling apps.
If you are looking to upgrade your phone to a lollipop version and have it as close as LG I really recommend the same setup I have. it is worth it.
If you want to know how to do it you got to google first how to root, install recovery, make back up, the rest is easy. Just watch plenty youtube videos.
By the way to boot into recovery mod on LG G3 here is how (turn it off--> press volume down and power--> let go after you see LG logo, then press power and volume down again) after that you should see TWRP if you have it installed correctly.
I also uploaded small video on youtube what I looks like, I cannot post link on this forum, but if you search on youtube for user "ukrik" it will be there.
I've tried a few roms also
I find that bare CM12 is the best for me. After a Factory reset you have to redo the APNs - I'm on MTS and the apns are showing fido after any re-install/factory reset. I really like the battery performance and also the fact that it is blindingly fast compared to stock. I'm not a power user of the phone so I am quite satisfied with it's current capabilities. The icons diplaying your data connection type are a software glitch that my limited understanding is reporting a data connection but not necessarly showing accurately what type of connection 4g/3g/hspa/cdma/lte/gsm etc. because all of our carriers are not using the exact same network hardware but all are mostly compatible still - especially here in Canada. The network icons in the status bar are showing a data connection and your hardware is connecting but the labels are not quite right. By editing the build prop file you tell the phone whose network you are using so that it shows the right labels I don't think it's anything more than that.
Great ROM!
I confirm that it works on the D851 (T-Mobile, USA) model as well.
Anyone try the new radio with cm 12? How's the service and battery life? Both seem off for me.
My fingerprint sensor doesn't seem to be working as when I add a fingerprint it occasionally says 'try againe' at the top of the screen and then won't register my finger print. If it does not do that then it retest eras my finger all the way till the last part and then don't respond or vibrate. How can I solve this issue?
I have the same issue.
Looks like I have the same issue as reported by my wife (I'm currently not in possession of the unit as I'm abroad and it has arrived few days back). She knows how to register as I have the Letv 1s and she was playing with it before.
The symptoms are as you say, no vibration and no detection of the fingerprint.
Can it be from the rom that came with the phone (maybe multilanguage). I can't remember if on 1s I had this problem.
Currently I have emailed the shop and I'm waiting for their reply. If you guys find a fix, please share.

Hi,
For me, the fingerprint scanner is the real weak point of this phone.
If it would have a better one, it would be flawless... except for the lack of development due to LeEco not publishing open source for their devices
And trust me : I've had the OP3 for several days before getting the LeEco. And that fingerprint scanner works as it should and in a blink of an eye you can use your phone !
What I found out is that this fingerprintscanner is really sssslllllooooowwwww....
So press it once, and then put your finger back on for several seconds.
But of course, doing so reduces the nice thing in having a fingerprint scanner as you're done quicker with "screen on" + "pattern/code"...
Really hope that LeEco can improve this... but when I see how they act on their own forums (a representative posts about every 20 days) I am not that optimistic

For me the fingerprint Scanner is working perfectly. Faster than iPhone 6 und it only fails to read 1 out of 15. Got 3 prints registered and it does very well

What version of the software are you using?
The fingerprint sensor has gotta be the worst ever in a mobile device. My phone takes good 5 seconds to unlock. Registering new fingerprints takes ages. Last I heard that this was some qualcomm tech which does scanning of skin layers under the top layer. But right now the technology is big fail.
That fingerprint sensor hardware is beta 1 in our phone. I am sure the new Le Max 3 which is coming out with Snapdragon 823 will not have this issue. They will advertise how the fingerprint is now 100x faster than before and bla bla.

Even my device on 15S unlockes after 5 seconds. The worst sensor and algorithm ever.
Hello guys,
One way to make finger print recognition better : save several time the same finger print.
Not very sexy but it works for me
So as I have arrived home, I've changed the firmware to 015s stock and the fingerprint started to work. Of course it's not ideal as my 1s but at least it's working. It takes about a second to read and unlock... acceptable to be honest. Maybe they will improve with the upgrades because for 1s it had improved within 2-3 firmwares to super fast recognition.

My experiences after several ROM, the international Indian ROM has removed bug.
Recognition really fast, from 10 attempts 8 immediately.
Note!
By the installation Rome should be installed super su with.
The encoding is prevented with it.
i have the same experience here... got my max2 from geekbuying but wont even recognize my fingerprints... so i updated to 5.8 eui from india not the Chinese version and not it works... however it takes one sec to open slower than my honor 5x. ... hope leeco would make it a bit faster considering the new tech it has...
Is there a major difference between the indian rom and the stock chinese rom that has english language? Does the indian rom have english language selection?
Yes the system language is complete into English.
The fingerprint scanner on 5.8.16s is much improved It seems much faster now. There was even an upgrade notice at first boot where it said it would erase my previous prints to upgrade.
Thanks for the update, will try it.

3. Device is HD capable notification is persistent.
4. A black spot just above the home button comes on goes every few seconds.
5. Photos app not working(not that i care).
