Any way to disable Superior Auto mode on camera

Hi all, is there any way to disable Superior Auto Mode on camera start-up? I would like it to start on "Normal" mode (green arrow in picture) since SAM is awful in low light situations and creates a grainy mess.

no idea... i just came back from a 4 days trip with my phone, best solution i could find is open the camera, put it in normal mode, than lock the phone with the lock key, next time when you unlock the phone (not with camera start up) you will go directly to camera on normal mode.

Thanks but I'm thinking of selling my ZR. Camera is just awful even my Galaxy Nexus took better pictures with just a 5mp camera. Didn't want an S4 but I guess it's the best phone right now. I have contracted Sony about their over processing and low headphone volume. Hopefully they issue an update or at least a reply. Or should I wait for a fix our maybe CM?

thats wierd, in my opinion the camera does a great job, pictures look good and sharp, colors are always nice and mostly white balance is fine.
i've had nokia N8 up untill now which had a great camera and i feel the ZR is not disapointing me.
about headphones are you sure the volume is low? i feel my head exploding if i put the volume to maximum... didn't feel it was low at all...

Sorry I meant the camera is bad in low light it's almost useless without the aid of additional light. I came from an HTC Amaze (aka HTC Ruby) that had a superb camera and the ZR feels like a downgrade. As for the volume. It's not as loud as my previous phones. I like loud music, specially when working out or mountain biking but I can live it it though

No Chrome issues here. I used Chrome exclusively today to make sure.

Chrome installed right after i synched Smartphone and Tablet, so im using Chrome since i have the Tablet, and i never had any issues with it. Maybe reinstall?( or are there maybe flash objects supposed to be at that place?)

I have the same issues. I usually will reboot when I start seeing that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

It might be the case that it only occurs on some websites, but the squares move, so it can't simply be the case that it's there should be flash content. I'll try figuring our whether there's a pattern...

I can confirm this problem, does happen on tagesschau.de for example. Maybe it's a problem with the german language version? There is also a bug in the german keyboard layout of the ASUS onscreen keyboard, it does show comma (,) and full stop (.) twice. In the english layout there's a ? and a ! instead. Seems to me that Asus did not do much testing with international versions...

Does it make any difference if you check or uncheck the "show desktop site" box in the settings menu? I would also suggest clearing out chrome's cookies, history, temp files, etc. If that doesn't fix it, clear data and cache for chrome. If that doesn't work, Uninstall and reinstall Chrome.

I've performed a cold reboot for another reason (wakeup delay) I read somewhere else here in the forum, since then the squares did not reappear. Curious if it will remain like this. If not I'll try your suggestions!

I performed the cold boot for the same reason and now I don't remember if I did the boot before or after I tested Chrome for you... So, yeah, could be the cold boot fixed that as well as the wake-up delay (which has NOT come back, by the way.) Thanks again to whomever it was suggested that cold boot - I'm too lazy to go back and find the thread so I can thank the poster properly. I did, however, click the Thanks button.

Hi, I had the same problem but it seems it disappeared with FW update.
I am running 10.26.1.7 now.
But due to incorrect FW pushed OTA by ASUS I had to wipe the device so I can`t be sure. Anyway I have the same apps as before so I think it was FW issue...

After rebooting the TF701 those black squares are gone. To me it looks like a problem with HTML 5 Video or animated GIFs, because at the xda homepage especially showed this issue.

I had these too before the bogus OTA update, which I then had to wipe and not had it since. Seemed to happen on any websites I was on but happened randomly.

[Camera App] Background Defocus - no root needed!

Hello guys!
I modified the deodexed Background Defocus app to make it installable on phones that aren't rooted.
Enjoy!
You might get an occasional UI bug but that's not fixable for now. App should still work fine and I've only encountered it once so far.
Just download and install like any APK:

Try to make sure your subject is away from the background, and keep the camera steady.
This one took me 3 attempts
Cup is approximately 30cm from background, I was about 50 cm away.
Sent from Z Beast

Really? Is it that hard?
I took this with one attempt and worked perfectly.
The interesting finding is that if you use this mode to capture, the picture is much sharper and file is slightly bigger.

The trick is if you noticed, it takes two pictures. So you got to wait another second or two for that to complete.

After KitKat update, sound somtimes comes out from the ear piece instead of speakers

Hi Guys,
I love the Z1, although I started sort of hating it after the kit kat update.
You see the sound now sometimes comes out of the ear piece (the one with the LED notification light) instead of the main speakers.
Is anyone having the same issue?
Were you guys able to do anything to permanently fix it?
A restart provides a temporary fix and then it comes back.
Hope anyone could provide a solution for this.
Thank you.

It was happening to me too but after I've unchecked ClearAudio+ and checked xLOUD, it looks like it was fixed, until now.
Try it: go to Settings | Sound | Sound Effects and find your way.

I went to my settings to uncheck Clearaudio+ (apparently this is turned off on my end) but I can't seem to find xLOUD?
Is it a third party application?

Mine's still working, I hope it stays like that. :fingers-crossed:

So this issue is a KitKat bug, thought something went wrong with my phone. I noticed this when I was using a video call on WeChat, headset connected to the phone but the sounds is fluctuatingly(?) coming from the headset then speaker (or earpiece) then headset again then speak (or earpiece so on and so forth. Encountered again yesterday when listening to music. Headset is on but sound is coming from the speaker. I hope this will be resolved immediately.

I experienced the same problem after 4.4.2 update as well. I did make a clean install, I even did a full data erase before upgrading, and another full data erase after upgrading via PC Companion.

it occured once to me too hasnt since though

It happened to me again, playing a video on YouTube app.
Although this is annoying, I'll let it go for now.
Obs.: Sony Xperia Z1 C6943, stock KK, unrooted.

Hi guys, tried everything but the problem still persists, so I've decided to downgrade my 4.4.2 back to 4.3, will just upgrade once things have been smoothened out. Kind of disappointing because I think Sony just rushed to deliver this and didn't exactly do a comprehensive bug testing.

I have z1 compact and we have this issue as well. Do you mean this fix : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692357 ?
It is reported that it does not work for some.

It's happening to me too since the update. It's extremely difficult to hear notifications and ringtone when some called in. Got quite a few missed calls from important business partners. Ah, I hope Sony will fix this fast.

I don't know for sure but I froze the smart connect app and haven't experienced the problem for the last two days. It may be too soon to tell though.

Also i m getting this prob... And also not able to turn off my phone when i press power off button..

That's a hard question because of the different manufacturing used in SoCs, some can be 14nm, 22nm, 28nm and so on.
The closest SoC in terms of speed to the 810 that I've used is the Tegra K1, during normal usage it hovered between 35-42°C. Snapdragons tend to run either warm or cool.
410=Cool
S4Pro=Hot (N4, 50-65°)
S800=Hot (G2, 60-100°C)
810=Hot (Confirmed by Sony, LG, QC, Sammy, and obviously users)
Also everything gets warm while charging, whether a phone or full-on gaming laptop.
Sent from my XT1528

So Snapdragon 810 is a failure ? or it is normal for 8 Core Processor to release heat ? buying Xperia Z3+ is worst decision i have ever made ? Actually i have only problem while recording 4K video camera shuts after 8-10 minutes. While playing its not hot, it feels warmer and i can hold it easily. Just want some more reviews. Should i keep the device or i should return it back on amazon 30 days policy ?

U can set custom paths with it, so basically it can show any sensor in statusbar.
