Camera test

Could anyone provide series of photos taken by HTP2? I'd like to compare them with other devices.
More people would be welcome so we can compare even pro2 between themselfs. I've already met one pro2 with blurred and shaded camera. I just dont want to believe all those cameras are so bad.
It would be nice if you took photo in different conditions. Like outside, in the dark, of the text, of the colorful scene, inside the building with poor light conditions etc etc.
Thanks you all.

here is what i have taken

thank you for your post. Colors are so dull. I tried to increase contrast and it looks bit nicer. Anyway I think pro2 would deserve better camera.
Could anyone else share his opinions about the camera?

I'm a bit disappointed about the camera, I've a Kaiser and the pictures are clearly better than these!...
I cannot belive it!

You can actually make the Kaiser camera ten times better by simply taking off the back cover when taking pictures or video. For some reason the plastic on the camera cover is dingy and blurs it a little.
Some people have actually removed that one plastic piece from the cover or just drilled a tiny hole, personally I couldn't do that.

I know, I usually quit the cover... and the quality is MUCH better than the ones taken with pro2.... I hope another samples with other configurations will be better, I wont buy a new phone with worse camera than the one I have!!

Well maybe its just the same issue, the backing cover lens. Its supposed to be a 3.2 mega pix.

just an FYI all, i didnt adjust anything. not even sure my pics are set to fine quality. I will check the settings and report back
EDIT: *** ok yup, had all the default settings with no adjustment to any of the lighting

I didnt change the settings in device. I changed contrast in Irfan view just to see if images may look better.
Lets admin that camera sux lot in HTP2. I just want to insure myself that the better result may be achieved by the software changes (like change of contrast for example).
On almost all photos i've seen there is some kind of gray curtain. Because I want to use camera in my next device I was thinking about it and i decided that its enough for me that photos looks good in the device when showing to friends. I dont need extra quality as compact camera could provide.

I was wondering what the video recording capability is on this phone. I'm told it's capable to record in 640*480 resolution these days. Is it any good (crisp / fluid) or choppy and.. well.. reasonably useless like the recordings my P4350 takes (taken into account that that phone records into the size of a poststamp)?
Bottom line: will I be using the feature to take my holland's funniest video and win 10 eurocents?

R_phAn - I can tell you in advance that this phone can't record fluid 640*480 video!
This is a result of a myriad of excuses:
- Drivers blah blah
- Hardware camera Interface to phone blah blah
- Processor blah blah
I've determined All this without even testing out the camera functionality myself... Imagine that!
And people get excited about this phone that uses even more dated processing hardware than the TP1?? (7200a)
LOL!

Here you can check out this sample video (from pocketnow's review)... Looks pretty good to me (and yes, it's in 640x480 )... It's not some fast moving test or something, but in general the video looks good...

Question - Why does the N95 with roughly 2.5 year old hardware record better video than this newly released TP2 phone?
And we as consumers just accept this without questioning this - LOL!

Tell me about it!
Admittedly this is the same across the board for all commercially available WM 6 series devices at the moment but it still stinks.
I am hoping this will change when Snapdragon processors are released as this is said to have at least 720p 30fps playback and record capabilities.

How is the screen, like when you Shake the Xperia X1 during taking a picture the screen won't lag.
A.t.m. on dutty's rom, he has done the same. when shaking the phone while in camera, the camera screen does not lag or get any delay.
Is this also the same on Touch Pro 2?
I'm considering getting a TP2 and sell my Touch HD.

Did the phone put the time stamp on it ? is able to be turned off ?

If you want a qwerty slider phone that is this slim then you have to accept that you cannot get a video camera into it
Phone is always a compromise between size and features and functions. Think about the size (the thinness of the slider part) and then compare it to the phones you say have good camera. They're a lot thicker.
Someday the technology will go further but this is what we have now.

very dissappointed with the camera...any suggestions?

hey guys.
i come from a photography background. classical training (dark room, color and bw), plus many years with very expensive canon dslr equipment. point being i have a penchant for photography and a good idea for image quality.
i wasn't expecting the quality of my G11 from this phone but i was definitely expecting better than what i am getting. pictures at night or in restaurants come out horribly overblown. most places pictures come out blurry and/or very soft focused.
i've seen posts blaming it on the camera software (sense). can the software really be crippling the hardware that much? is there an alternative camera software or a fix to the existing software?
has anyone successfully ported the CM6 camera over to sense?
how are you all getting alone with your "8MP" camera?

If you're using the older stock ROM you can flash it over top of the one you have and only wipe the dalvik & cache, that way you keep everything as is. If not you should be able to just copy the camera stuff. There's more to it then just the .apk file though, someone posted a list of changed files and I believe it showed some of the camera files in the system/lib folder changed also.

yeah but it's a phone that bragged about being able to capture bleeding colors thanks to its 8mp camera. if i'm getting the same image quality as my samsung code was getting me, it's dissappointing
the image quality problems we're experiencing i think are due to software limitations. hence why pictures supposedly come out better on CM6...

Nah, it's hardware. HTC has never been known to have good smartphone cameras.
I came over from the Epic... Lordy, what a great camera that thing has!
What's the deal with people saying that their camera took better pictures once the outer lens cover cracked, and was removed? Any truth to this?

Does anyone have a link to this apk. Or do I have to switch roms. Better yet I'm on a rooted stock sense Rom how would I get this apk on my phone.

I'm testing out VIGNETTE for taking photos.. so far it looks better.. I dont like the fact that it creates its own gallery....
how does the new 3.30 camera app work??

My lens cracked so I took the cover off and replaced it with a custom piece of clear scotch tape. Pictures look better now than they did before ( I'm serious). Here's a close up.

Mexican must go "right through him"

I agree with the OP. Yes it's only a cell phone but if anyone has used the camera on a BlackBerry Bold 9650, or a Tour for that matter you'll see the difference is night and day.
Hi all btw, I've read a lot on here but never posted!

@ Max Pain:
I completely agree with your assessment on the poor quality of the camera, as do many others who bought the whole "HD Cam" nonsense that HTC sold us.
To be fair, yes, this is a phone... But, the marketing (go figure) for the Evo hyped up the camera abilities as HD, 720p video. This phone does neither well. While they have made improvements in the coding since the release, this camera struggles immensely with jitter, poor low light capture (in which most cases the flash seems to wash everything out), and horrible audio quality during video.
Lastly the compression used is awful, and here's why I don't care how many megapixels the silly sensor captures, at the end of the day compression rules all.
95% of my pictures come out grainy and crappy, particularly while using the digital zoom. The software just cannot cope.
I started a thread about this very issue a couple months back, unfortunately the devs don't seem to view this as a task worth undertaking, and after the little amount of research and specs I've seen this may be because the cam sensor used sucks as badly as the software controlling it. It just doesn't do low light well at all. I still believe there's hope if someone with the programming stones who also shares a love for good photography steps up to the challenge.
Otherwise, we probably won't have a good camera until the Evo 2.
HA.

And just to prove I don't think the hardware is to blame check this out, this camera can shine under the right conditions. This photo is fully stock, not retouched in any way, and was taken using one of the various sense roms floating around mid summer. If we could get the low light shots, and video on par with this, I think we'd be in good shape.
The second photo is in the dark but shooting a bright frame, up close...
I don't think they are bad at all, they just rarely turn out like this.

I noticed that it takes 5-10 times to manually focus before taking a shot to get a sharp looking picture.
It's as if the algorithm for autofocus is broken, and only occasionally does the camera focus properly.

White Galaxy S3 with Pebble Blue back!

Ever since I saw the Galaxy S3 announcement, I've had the idea to mix and match the two "all natural and made for humans" colours. So I got a white phone and started looking for a replacement back in blue. At first, it was impossible to get a pebble blue back without buying a new GS3. But eventually, I found one on ebay.
The cover I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380448215137

Thanks for giving it a go and sharing the results. You know what I think I like it! Distinctive but cool. Good effort!

Thanks, I'm interested in doing this.
I'm going to be annoying and complain, though... Why the extreme closeups? I'm really having problems seeing what it really looks like, I think your pictures are pretty bad quality! Are they taken in low light? Some of them look very yellow.
Better pics, please, mister Blurrycam? Thanks for your effort! (Sorry for complaining!)

So I found 2 sellers on ebay advertising this... do you mind sharing which one you got it from. Would rather run with a confirmed legitimate back cover. Cheers
And to the previous poster I'd hazard a guess it is damn hard to have a distance shot that captures the sheen/colour of the pebble blue especially in the same shot as white (too wide a contrast range) not to mention the brushed metal finish...

Might go the other way and get the white one for my pebble blue model
Linky please ?

I want to buy the original batterycovers aswell.. as backup . Could you provide us with a link where to buy these?

I can take some photos in better lighting once the sun is back. However, if I take a picture from a distance, it will just either look like an all white phone. The blue back isn't visible when I lay it down.
I don't have a real camera.. only a ton of phones. I took the pics with my Galaxy Nexus :x Maybe the Galaxy S IV will be good enough to photograph itself?
Anyways, I updated the thread to have a link to the buyer on ebay that I purchased from.

i agree. I can't tell how it really looks bc they are close up shots.

if youre going to take the time to do photos, at least make them so we can see what youre taking a picture of.
ive seen interest in this, bu have none myself. hope it satisfies others though.

nice i like it

Weird! I would have liked the front to had some kind of bluish in the front to match or a custom back cover which will have some white/blue combination
sent with WSGS3

Looks odd but I love your efforts.

your phone reminds me a liger...

I want mine in red, white & blue!

Lighting really wasn't the issue...pull that camera back a little bit. Too close.

i love a unique phone, zedomax has a white phone with black screen and the home botton is white aswell. looks great although ide still prefer my original pebble blue.
i like to make programs and the looks of the phone unique rather then the outside i like it nice and simple on the outside and deadly in the inside hehe

The GameKlip™

The new GameKlip™ is here! I started a new thread to keep things organized. Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027611
Hello again everyone! I just launched an accessory for the Galaxy SIII (and other android phones) that you guys might be interested in! I've always loved playing games on my smartphones, but on screen controls were always frustrating. When I discovered the Sixaxis App, and native usb host and controller compatibility with the SIII, I had to figure out a good way to attach my phone to the controller. I came up with the GameKlip™.
I am a university student, and long time xda member. I've been tinkering with this project in my spare time and am now ready to produce them. I hope you guys like it! Let me know what you think!
More information and ordering info available here: http://thegameklip.com/ Starts at $15!!
Update: I shot another quick video showing how strong the GameKlip™ is. Take a look!
Update2: I have replaced the photos of the Galaxy S3 GameKlip™ with a cleaner, more accurate, representation of the final GameKlip™ (still hand cut). Its actually the same one I used in the video above! I have no issues pressing the buttons. The final version has the tabs moved up a little as well to accommodate for the bottom curve on most phones
Update3: I added a lot more information to my website. Check it out!
Update4: I just took some new photos of the production model! Notice the smooth cuts and plenty of room to press all the buttons. I have also updated the first image above.

Patent this tech before apple steals it and sues you!!!!!!!!!!

I'm looking at the pictures of this device and I don't see how it is secure? it is just molded hard plastic in the general width of the phone. The plastic touching the phone is smooth. There is no tensioning device to squeeze the sides. i imagine if i put my phone in it and tipped it past level the phone would fall right out. Thats probably why that phone and hand that is "holding it upside down" is cut and pasted out of its original surroundings. I would imagine that it didn't get picked up by Kickstarter because they know it will be the cause of many a broken phone. Sorry to be a downer.

The phone isn't cut and pasted in the balcony picture. I held the phone with one hand and took the picture with the other I used a fill flash to light the controller, which may be throwing you off.
The material itself has a little spring to it and is molded to be just a hair thinner than the phone. The tabs hold it very securely. I can hold mine upside down with my S3 and shake it without anything coming lose or falling off.

I was looking all around for a clip with no success. Even tried to talk a Gamestop worker to give me their display clip!

Thats the first bunch i edited today, more are comming trust me, but my time is sparse
Feedback would be nice how it looks on the watch, im designing blind as i don't own a SWR50 or any other Smartwatch yet
Edit Baby!!
More Faces two for now. The Logos are just in the preview, look in the facer file for more inspiration! u know what i mean
Modaco Black
Modaco Silver

Master time looks great, but the second hand is set display in ambient mode, but just freezes in its last known position. Corsa only shows the hands in ambient, but also looks great when lit up
---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------
Forgot to mention, salt flat is the one that doesn't quite work, its hands are very blurry in ambient.
This is awesome work for sure. The ambient mode with the tft screen is totally unique, and I've been struggling to figure out how to best make use of it.

Master time looks great, but the second hand is set display in ambient mode, but just freezes in its last known position. Corsa only shows the hands in ambient, but also looks great when lit up

Forgot to mention, salt flat is the one that doesn't quite work, its hands are very blurry in ambient.

Thankks for the heads up, yes i messed around with the settings on the dimmed display option, and forgot. I will update the facer file from Corsa to show everything at anytime, looks quite stupid if just the hands are lid.
On Mastertime everything should be lid even if its in ambient/dimmed display mode. I went through the facer file again at it should all work, maybe its a issue with Facer itself.
the Hands on Saltflat Racer, i dont quite understand what do you mean with blurry? could you make a picture ? that would be awesome. Maybe the blurr comes from the texture I made on the White areas of the Hands. If thats so then i need to reedit the Image file

Maybe blurry is the wrong word, blocky is probably better, the hands blend together when close together making it hard to read.
And, yeah, only the one watchface showed the hands only

Booya Fellow XDA Friends, here it goes, I try to convert my round faces into Rectangular ones
Resolution is 320x320 to fit the SWR 50 obvioulsly but it should work on any other 320x320 resolution rectangular watch to. Most watches have a hidden layer to swith the logos if you know what i mean
Mastertime - The Face has 3 different Faces, just try them out in the Opacity Settings and use the one you like
Corsa Black
Saltflat Racer
Thats the first bunch i edited today, more are comming trust me, but my time is sparse
Feedback would be nice how it looks on the watch, im designing blind as i don't own a SWR50 or any other Smartwatch yet

This is cool, I had similar thoughts for getting some round ones to square. Just had a specific round model created from JPG, but the roundness does annoy me. How did you edit the dials to get the squares? did you completely redraw them or used a specific edit ? Will show my facer face soon on facerepo, hope to add a squared version too.

Completely re-edited them from the ground up. Of course I left some stones unturned. Mostly it is just the outer ring that needs a quick fix. But if you redo it then it is superclean PS is your friend. I experimented a bit and am quite pleased to make the faces as I want now only limit is the imagination
PS: sorry I wasn't able to fix the satfaltracer today. I try to fix it tomorrow

i see now, Photoshop does a good job,but it isn't superclean (and my attempt to squared isn't symmetrical when i now look at it)

i see what you mean, i dont think you can reedit an existing round face like that, that just looks well not so good. you need to build it specific for an rectangular face from the ground up thats what i ment. not try to force it in square. i have all my watches in round, and then i build them again in square format.:good:

I uploaded an extraordinarily simple watchface that I've been using. I was frustrated by the fact that, despite the TFT screen tech, we couldn't have a black face on a white background in ambient mode. This face gives you that, while leaving the bottom half black so that notifications display properly (something that can be eliminated once we get the watchface api). I might make a few more variations on this when I have some time to design, but it's a useful template for the split we have to work with. http://facerepo.com/app/faces/details/sw3-b-w-high-contrast-ambient-149aae7a6fd

the stock watchfaces have some animation when the screen turn on, this don't make any animation

so it is a facer limit or the watchfaces doesn't include animation?

It's really an api limit. Until Google releases the android wear update that includes the actual api oems are using to make stock watchfaces, nobody will have access to all the tools to do what stock watch faces do. My money is on facer updating once the api is released to give designers all the tools they need. Until then Facer and any other watchface app is sort of working around the lack of an official api.

Gee, thanks to your rectangular faces I now see that the watch has an asymmetric bezel, which is kind of a downer for me. Any analog watch faces will look horrible. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

My god the negativity, this dude is just making cool watch faces for our device.

What negativity, cabron? Stop being so paranoid! All I'm saying is that I now notice the bezel asymmetry, something I didn't notice until I saw Onecton's watch faces. That is all! My argument has no bearing on anything Onecton is or does.

it does really? hm strange, maybe you could try to change the x and y offset to compensate? i can ttotally relate to that brother even if its 2 pixels offset it would bugg the hell out of my symmetrical ocd !!
