It is important to mention that the situation has vastly improved since this blog post was written. Conversations on Android implements all XEPs mention by Georg and a few more to further improve battery life.

I gave a talk at Froscon 2015 explaining everything in detail but the essence is you download Conversations and it behaves pretty much like a normal messaging app. It has images, emojis, group chats, end to end encryption and everything else you'd expect. And of course it is reliable.

Dear hacker, Do you think it's possible to build a custom mod that enhances the video mode? Focus peaking during video would be a really interesting one!

Would love to see someone fix the problems with the settings on the video codec with this thing. I love this camera it takes really good pics and video(minus the problem with blocky flashing etc) but man to know they will probly never fix this is disappointing!!! I just recently discovered the problem with the video issues watching back some of my vids while the camera was on a tripod doing stationary video of things. Just disgusting and uncalled for on a camera at this price range(when it first came out), at this point I would be willing to donate money to someone for fixing this! I really dont have the money to be upgrading again.

Hi, is it possible to enable live view while recording videos? I see it is possible to use the live view function while taking pictures but for video it seems disabled. It would be a great feature! Is there a way to enable it through some of these hacks?

I want(ed) to find out why XMPP seems to be ignored by mobile messengers and your informative text provided me with (parts of) and answer. I'd appreciate a follow up!

Regards.

Yes, please, write a follow up!

Also a few words about secure clients - like Psi, gajim, profanity - would be great.

Hi all,

pretty new to this! Also to WiFi reverse engineering, so maybe stupid questions...

Was trying to get some more information about the SOAP actions. Did not find any useful things in a wire Shark dump using android (running app and shark).

Has there also been any change in usage of the smart cam control? As the app metioned some changes!

Has the controll been removed from HTTP to any other protocol? As I only get some request DLNA information packets.

Kind regards Kay!

Any chance someone make a firmware for NX300 with remote viewfinder pro on it (full controls same as on NX30)? Thanks

Hi, any chance you could build a Google Drive backup option into a hacked nx300 firmware? Thanks

I just read your very informative post, and although the exact date is not written anywhere, I can infer by the comments that it was sometime in the beginning of 2014.

Now that 2015 is almost over, would you care to write a followup on this?

Some comments about your blog:

  • posts with no date? boooo
  • comments without registering first? great! (some hope remains on the Internet)
