Verizon's Galaxy S5 camera plagued by bugs

Image
Verizon's early adopters of Samsung's latest Galaxy S5 flagship are having some trouble with their devices. Many are reporting their camera refuses to work after a few days. The error message just says "Warning: Camera failed". There is no fix to be found. The users tried everything Verizon has suggested them to do - software and hardware factory resets, wiping caches from recovery, etc. Nothing works so far. The unlucky owners are having their devices replaced, but there is no guarantee this won't happen again. There is even a Galaxy Note 3 on Verizon affected by the same problem already. Hopefully this issue is resolved quickly by a firmware update. Meanwhile we advise Verizon's Galaxy S5 users to stay away from third-party camera apps such as Instagram, Shapchat, Facebook, etc. because some users are reporting the problem started after installing and using such an app.

OnePlus One tops Galaxy S5, One (M8) in AnTuTu 4

Image
OnePlus continues to tease its first phone called the One. The maker has revealed it will use the Snapdragon MSM8974AC chipset – the one with Krait 400 @ 2.5GHz – and 3GB RAM for its debut handset. OnePlus released a screenshot of an AnTuTu 4 score, which tops all current flagships. This is the cumulative score, it doesn’t show the separate CPU and 3D scores that the device achieved, but they should be on par or better than any other Android on the market right now (or in the near future). AnTuTu 4 Higher is better Sort by Label Sort by Value OnePlus One 38179 HTC One (M8) 37009 Galaxy S5 (Snapdragon 801) 36018 LG G2 35444 Sony Xperia Z2 34986 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 S800 31109 The OnePlus One will also feature a 5.5″ 1080p screen, 13MP camera (check out the first samples here ) with Sony sensor and 4K video. It will be unveiled in a week and when it comes out in Q2 it will cost €350.

Microsoft Files Patent for Head-Mounted Display Device

Image
These AR glasses are somewhat reminiscent of Google Glass. Microsoft may have plans to release a head-mounted display device in the future, if a newly filed patent is any indication. The device comes in the form of glasses and may be equipped with things like a microphone, an eye-tracking system, a depth camera, and a camera capable of recognizing the faces of other players. The patent describes it as being intended for multiplayer gaming applications, such as being able to use a voice commands or eye-tracking data to send a game invitation to another player, who could then use his or her glasses to respond. Limiting a device like this to sending game invites might seem like a very narrow use of such a thing. While that is the sort of functionality the patent primarily describes, it notes that this is not the extent of what Microsoft may use it for. One section of the patent refers to users interacting with the device through gestures, which could in theory then b...
