Front Camera Takes Pictures in HDR Mode topic

I'm using the default camera app on Beanstalk and I've also installed the 4.4 camera app but I experienced the same issue.

I don't even have the option to use HDR on the main camera and I've looked through the settings, but can't find anything relating to it.

By HDR mode I mean the front camera takes several pictures with different exposures and merges them together, it's annoying because it takes about 2 seconds and you must hold camera perfectly still to get it not to be blurry.

If I use the front camera while using Snapchat I do not have any issues. Any idea what could be causing this? How else should troubleshoot?

[Q] ATT takes a week to sim unlock Moto X topic

I have an existing ATT line (for years), currently with a S3 (with contract till late 2014).
I bought a second-hand Moto X with ATT logo on it.

When I got the S3 in 2012, I got an unlock code directly from ATT in 15min, before I travel abroad.
This time, ATT told me that they no longer directly unlock phones. Instead, the process becomes as follows:
1) fill in the device unlock request (the webpage didn't work for me, showing imei cannot be unlocked at this time; but the online chat agent filed the request on my behalf and put an 'urgent' tag on it...)
2) "someone" will call me in 3 days after the request and tell me about my "options" (wt...)
3) the request should be resolved either way a week from the initial request date

So far I've done 1, but I'm traveling in two days. From your experiences, is it possible that they will eventually refuse to send the unlock code? Does it really take a whole week? Do they always make the call in step 2 (2 days already since my request).

If I'm willing to pay 12usd, any chance those ebay/online services fail to unlock the device ?

Thanks.

[Q] Always takes several attempts for USB connection to work topic

Does anyone know why it always takes several attempts before my Windows 7 PC will see my phone? I connect it and my phone says connected as a media device but nothing happens after I wait for a minute. No portable device appears in Computer and ADB says device not found. I always keep having to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable several times before my PC will see it and drives me insane. Does anyone else have this problem?
