As most of u are aware, after the 2.1 update, the x10 display will no longer be limited by software and its display will bump up from 65thou to 16m colors, as u can see theres a way bigger spectrum of colors that our phones will display so my question is, will that diffrence be huge? Will it be noticable? how will it improve display quality(in terms of sharpness, beauty, depth, quality...erc)?
My guess is better quality games. 720p video on youtbe and recordings will be better. Picture quaity and a more clearer display overall. I want this update lol

Changes will surely be noticeable, i still think they did a pretty darn good job with the colours as it is now really looking forward to see the changes

i agree, i came from a iphone 3g and the quality is way better, i dont knw how much better it might get
wallpapers will be a big difference
My understanding is that having more colours will only make a difference if you're looking at things that are extremely close to the same colour (i.e. gradients). Just compare it to some phone with 16M colours, see if there's any noticeable difference.
you mean you won't notice this ?
i am waiting for this update man

If I stare very closely at the Mediascape background for a couple seconds, I can see some bands, where the shades don't change smoothly. Maybe you have sharper eyes than me, because I am not at all bothered by it..

compare it to your x10 and tell me the difference please. is it the same ?
I don't think you'll notice any difference as the Screen on the X10 only supports 65K colours, irrespective of what the OS can support, check out the Spec on the SE website.
I don't expect much difference. I mean, I never go like "oh man, the colors on my X10 suck, I wish they were better". The colors are fine the way they are (to me). I never stare at the screen long enough to notice color banding that may occur in some pictures.

My mistake, I was under the impression that the hardware was only capable of 65K, in the same way that it's not capable of MT, irrespective of OS level.
I hope you're right
It will be fairly subjective, dependant on both the picture and the person viewing.
Alot of pics are going to look better, others will show little difference.
Personally I can't wait to have wallpapers that have no bloody bands of colour instead of a grady'all change of shade. It looks horrible.

Hi guys,
I own a Xperia X10 ( latest firmware version available)and i had the opportunity yesterday to use a Samsung Galaxy S for the whole day. SGS belogs to a friend of mine.
Here are my impressions of the Sam G. S in comparasion to our "beloved" X10.
1.Screen
Colours are more vivid on SGS, but X10 has better resolution. I could differentiate the pixels on SGS, but not on X10. I'm quite picky with screen resolutions. I own a Iphone4 aswell and i can say X10 its not very behind iPhone4 concerning the screen resolution and crispness image. X10 just needs the 2.1 to boost to 16 million colours and get more vivid contrast.
2.Touch screen.
Exactly the same. They're balanced. I just wish to get MT on X10. MT can be useful in certain situations.
3. UI Performance.
Although X10 has the old 1.6 Android, i had the impression that lags less (mine doesn't lag at all and i´ve plenty of applications installed) than the SGS. I felt that the fluidity of X10 is pretty good, now that i've used my friends SGS for a whole day. Switching screens was more laggy and the refreshment rate was worse than on X10 - i couldn't believe what i was experiencing.
4. Multimedia.
Oh god. I've just to say that there isn't any phone with such a great audio quality as the X10. Miles ahead of the SGS and even Iphone4 that i also own. Crispy and balanced tones on X10. SGS was pretty average.
Video is also interesting: Refreshing rates / fps were the same watching the same movie. X10 is more crispy and the SGS has more vivid colours.
conclusion:
Android 2.1 will leverage X10 to a much higher level and it will be on pair or even better than almost all Android phones including those with the 2.2 version.
I'm not replacing my X10 for the SGS as i was planning before.
Hope it helps!
That seems like a fair comparison and is very inline with what I experienced using the AT&T Captivate. I had that device for 28 days and replaced it with the X10.
The lag is generally believed to be because of the file system Samsung chose (RFS). It's not clear why they chose RFS and the lag fixes floating around basically make a new data partition with EXT2, EXT3, or EXT4. It doesn't matter for me at this point but I'm glad I don't have to rely on Samsung to fix all the issues on their Galaxy S devices. There are many other annoyances on the Captivate but I won't bother listing them. The bottom line is that for me the X10 is a much better device.
Thank you very much for an interesting post in a long time and thank you for a good clean review! Very much appriciated

REALLY??? I hope you are not talking about x10's speaker audio quality..
i LOVE x10.. but seriously.. i have to listen to everything through bluetooth headset or an earphone.. the sound is HORRIBLE when you just have it on the speaker, and it hurts my ears.. especially on higher volumes...and yes.. i've compared it to other phones.. my lg new chocolate sounds a lot better compared to x10.. (only comparing the speaker audio quality)
Seems fair both phones have their positives and negatives, i think the 2.1 update will make the x10 a lot more solid, some people think theres not much difference between between 1.6 and 2.1, but it has its obvious advantages. preferably i would have liked to have seen 2.2 on there but hey il take whatever i can get.
I have both phones and I agree with some of what your saying,yes it lags a bit and text in definitely not as sharp
but in the multimedia you made no sense... The sgs is far better when it comes to watching movies the sharpness is basically the same as the x10 plus more vibrant colours (it also has divx support out of the box). Audio quality is superior on the sgs without a shadow of a doubt even the gsm arena say so(lets not forget it has an equaliser). It has a better battery life and its fully rooted with full boot loader access you have missed out so many sections, sigh maybe i should make my own proper comparison.
I agree having owned both. SGS colors "pop" more, but the colors are not accurate at all. I used to compare to my Nexus One and colors were actually way off on the Samsung.
SGS plays just about any video codec you throw at it which is nice. Listening through headphones the X10 kills it. The screen is just a smooth I think as well.
Go on a Captivate and read web text while scrolling very slowly. There is a really bad "rolling" effect that actually bugged me while using it.
When the X10 gets 2.1 it will certainly hang with the Galaxy S models in my opinion. I just wish the Xperia had the internal storage of the SGS line.
btw, gps performance on the X10 is spot on where Samsungs tend to not be great in that area. Even after their gps "fix" it won't be as fast and accurate as the X10.
I work for AT&T and I see many problems coming in with the Captivate. The browser crashes often and the phone reboots itself a few times a day sometimes. I owned one and my gf still owns one and her's has some of these issues.
Just for clarification:
i meant that the audio quality via headphones...using high quality headphones. Yes X10 is the best in the market. I owned a Nokia N900 and i did the comparasion as well.
Sorry for disagreeing, but the X10 is also more sharp watching videos than the SGS. SGS has to saturated colours.

Well i have to disagree in the audio department but thats down to audio taste i guess. But the sgs video quality is better than the x10 i have viewed the same HD video on both, side by side and you would be a fool to tell anyone the the x10 is better to look at.
Edit: In fact im looking at both now, the sgs blows it out of the water sorry. I can upload pics if you want proof.

What is the rom from SGS? I know that Sony Ericsson have 1GB SLC, 50% to ROM and 50% to Storage, in some websites shows 15GB of ROM to Samsung, others 2GB of ROM, 16GB os MLC in SGS is for ROM+Storage like the 1GB SLC in X10?
My best mate has a SGS. We compare all the time. For those in this thread that think the SGS screen is producing more saturated colours etc...
You are just not used to the REAL colours. The SGS has the best screen on the market. It has a 50000:1 contrast ratio! The blacks are near perfect. Which makes the non-black elements "pop" off the screen.
When we both load up the exact same black screen on the same brightness, my x10 looks like it's GREY compared to his SGS. I can use my full black screen in a dark bathroom as a dull light, he can not. As for video watching, the SGS screen is much clearer and and crisp. This is because of its extremely high contrast ratio. Moreover, the x10 on 1.6 can only show 65k colours on a TFT screen. While the SGS SAMOLED screen on 2.1 uses 16million!
I love my x10 guys, but the SGS screen and display is far superior and certainly looks like it when placed side by side with an x10.
Now, when x10 finally gets 2.1 which will allow the x10 to display 16m colours, it will be a whole lot different for comparison, but it still won't match up to the super high contrast ratio that the SGS has.
Samsung uses fake colours, the sony dont have the best screen, but is good, and with great resolution, Sony have 13.3' screen with 1920x1080 in notebooks, and others better than this, Apple and Sony are the kings of resolution

REAL colours and 50000:1 contrast ratios? HAHAHA. First off, maybe a handful of lcds in current production produce accurate colors and they're not put in mobiles. Secondly, 50000:1 contrast ratios is a marketing gimmick and means something, but it isn't an objective measure in any sense as different companies scale it differently.

Maybe, but you certainly don't have any compelling arguments as to why the Galaxy S is better than the x10. Even with the increase in colors, how many can the eye actually distinguish from another? Certainly not 16 million.

well in all honesty its quite an amazing screen and down playing the specs doesnt make any less amazing.
Samsung is known for it's great picture quality, from it's out of this world LED Tv's to it's cell phones.
the Samsung Galaxy is a superior phone. The X10 better get a lot better with the 2.1 upgrade. Otherwise, Im upgrading it to 2.1 just to add a selling point.
In 2009 it stays in 4th place in TVs...
1º Pionner Kuduro
2º Philips
3º Panasonic
4º Samsung
5º Sony
Something like that, so, nothing impressive... btw, i dont like the samsung colors, totally fake...
I've installed Mattc's great Android version on my HD2, and the first thing I notice is that both the camera and the camcorder work WAY (WAY) better under Droid than under WinMO. The bad white balance issues seem to be gone under Droid. Isn't that a proof that the camera problems were only a software bug, and not a hardware issue?
Please share your experience about this issue here - maybe it's just observer error from me.
Thanks.
Does the video recording also improved to do 720p like the Evo?
I don't know what was wrong with your windows install, but the camera/video on my HD2 is incredible under windows mobile. It's actually better than my $300 point and shoot camera, which is really a sad statement for my camera, but the HD2 is great.

No offense meant, man, but I seriously doubt this. I have two other camera devices, a LG Renoir phone and a reflex Sony digital camera, both take way better pictures than the HD2. It's not even a resolution problem, the colors are just totally ****ed up.
Sorry if I'm not the usual HD2 blind fanatic and know to recognize the phone's weaknesses - even though I like my phone a lot otherwise.
I'm an EE. I don't get excited about things just because I think it's "cool". The camera is actually very good on my HD2. Should I post some example pics? Maybe you have the first revision of HD2? I have the TMobile one with the yellow reset button (revision 2).
Obviously, when I need to take a picture of something far away, my point-and-shoot does a lot better because it has optical zoom, but the HD2 does really well at medium range. My wife, who doesn't get excited at all about technology even mentioned that she was impressed with its pictures.
Proof by the example:
Both camera software have exactly the same settings and auto white balance, and Windows Mobile has a very recent ROM with the latest versions of all software (Artemis).
Windows Mobile:
Android:
The difference is obvious. The Android photo has natural colors, while the Windows Mobile one has ugly shades of purple/pink and is generally ugly.
The Windows Mobile camera software is clearly still bugged at least on some versions of the HD2. It's definitely not the hardware, since if it was, Android wouldn't be able to take good shots either.
EDIT: And yes, I have an older model of HD2.

wow man, youre garden looks like mess
i have canon 500d other than hd2, so, its taking better pictures in every resolution option. i know, i just cant compare this two devices photographing performance, but like said before in the first posts, hd2's colors looks like mess, wb is awful. the only good thing is macro performance i think.
but its still better than wm 6.5. wm just, i dunno
Yeah, I also take way better shots with my Sony Alpha (and even with my LG Renoir), but at least in Android, the HD2 photos look "decent" for a mobile phone. The windows one just look... well... VERY bad.
Oh, and that's not my garden... well, that's only like 5% of it. The rest is behind the door at the back, this is only the "Tomato + a few flowers" part
hmm... in Camcorder mode, doesn't the auto-focus no longer work when recording? It just stucked at the focus point when the record button is tapped no matter where and what you're trying to aim at. Any fix for that?

So your camera in Android (that is capped to 3 MP) performs better then the camera in WinMO?(That has 5 MP)

Don't believe everything that is written in the still experimental Android UI. The camera also does 5MP in Android.
And it's not a resolution problem - it's a color problem.
Wildcopper,
You stated that the video recorder is also better.
Does it record 720p like the Evo?
So you are saying the Android picture in the example looks better than the WinMobile one? Personally, I think the white walls and the roof look better in the Android picture, but most of the other stuff, especially the brown, looks a little better in the WinMobile picture. I don't know, they are so close, I can barely tell the difference. This is really what you are complaining about?
Maybe just don't have any ability to judge colors.... I don't know the difference between purple and fuchsia.
Seriously, the image taken with Android is much better for natural colour balance. Get your eyes tested! A lot of the picture taken under WinMo has a purple tint.
I think it will be better if you follow this steps
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584765
Mine doesn't recognize MMC
It keeps saying "Please insert an SD card before using the camera".
Obviously MMC is in, there is whole Android system.
Has anybody experienced that?
Thanks guys

I totally agree with you on that point, I even think that the autofocusing part/algorithm is better on Android than on WM. Used to get a lot of "blurry" pictures just from pushing the "shoot"-button even though WM had everything into focus. This problem is gone with Android, dunno if it's only related to a different button layout, but it's clearly better.
Dear all
In all the Android builds that I've tried on the HD2, I can't seem to find one that will take 5MP pictures in a format that automatically fills the entire screen on the HD2 when viewing the said image in an album.
I realise that the Android builds come from the likes of the Nexus One (3.7inch screen) or the Desire (again 3.7inch) - and the HD2 screen is 4.3inches, but some of the Android builds come with the option of the EVO camera, and the EVO shares the same massive 4.3 screen as the HD2.
I've noticed however that the 5mp picture outputs from both the stock Froyo camera and the EVO camera app (as well as the Camera360 app from the Adnroid Market) all provide a 5mp output image that does not fill the HD2's screen.
I would be grateful if someone would shed some light on this subject - my searches have proven fruitless as no one else seems to be complaining about this (hence why I think I must be missing something incredibly obvious).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
(HD2 running NRG GTX Sept 14 and Bangsters 1.3b - but tried a whole load of Android builds prior to this current one! Radio 2.12.50.02)
Maybe it's because the HD2 screen is not 5M pixels and also does not have the same aspect ratio than a 5M pixels pic.... =P

The camera is, the screen isn't.
Thanks for the responses thus far.
So is there any way to get the camera on android to take a pic that fills the entire screen when looking through them in our albums (as it does on the hd2 running stock or cooked WM roms?). I would've thought the ported EVO camera would've done it as it was designed for a screen that's similar to the hd2.
Is there perhaps an app on Market that allows you to tweak the 5mp format to identical dimensions as those pics taken by the WM camera on the HD2?
Being a bit of a stickler for details, I find it annoying to scroll through my albums and see all the WM images filling up the screen perfectly, only to see an image taken whilst using Android (3 or 5mp) with black borders!
the picture's aspect ratio is 4:3, and hd2's screen is 16:9, that's why it won't fill the screen. You could use vignette to crop the picture to 16:9, but that cam app runs pretty slow on hd2.
winmo's camera has a wide screen option which crop the picture automatically.

Thanks for the info re widescreen, macoy - I did notice the widescreen option on the WM camera settings, but I would assume then the the EVO would also have a similar widescreen option as it shares the same screen dimensions?
Thanks also for the vignette app suggestion.
If anyone knows of any further app's on the market which have a widecreen option please do let me know!
I don't see the point of cropping pictures. Surely there must be a gallery app that zooms in automatically to fit screen?

Yes - there must be!
Or a camera app with widescreen options suitable for the HD2's 4.3inch screen (which is similar to the EVO's...)
I created a thread asking the same question a few weeks ago and have yet to see an answer to this. I have long wondered what it is, when I was using Froyostone v1 Clean the Camera had an option for widescreen but when selected it would still not take widescreen pics. Like the OP I am a stickler for the detail and I like the fullscreen view of the Winmo Cam. I only take pics in WinMo until a solution is found for this.

I'm surprised that this doesn't seem to be a big issue for most people - one of the "wow" features of the phone for me when I first got it (and indeed - it still impresses me) is scrolling through my photos at fullscreen, showing off the HD2's display in all its glory!
I can't believe that there's no way to do this on the HD2 running Android? Especially wih EVO and the upcoming Desire HD coming out (both sharing the same 4.3inch screen from what I understand).
I've tried searching as well using, and this, albeit not a big issue, is one of the cool things about viewing the pictures. Let's keep this going, hopefully someone may chime in.
Photos takin in wide screen are actually less than 5M.
My personal impression is that WM camera performance is superior to that of the Android on HD2 in all Android variations so far.
Is it a "built in" deficiency of the Android? Should proper camera performance be expected from "native" Androids like the Desire HD?"
I must convesse that the camera works better with WinMo. With Andriod is much less sharp. Got to life with it for now but i'm looking for a better van install.

I am also very curious
I am also wondering this same thing. I have noticed that the pictures in android are pretty poor quality. On all builds that I have tried with my hd2. So I am also curious if the phones with native android os have better cameras. I had a original my touch with a terrible camera.
But I would expect more from the camera on the hd2
I've had the exact opposite experience, I've found that Android pictures are far better than WM pics. They're sharp & the colors are correct, versus orange-tinged pics in WM.

What build are using. And is it sense or stock android. Also I wasn't necessarily comparing it to wm exclusively. Just quality in general.
By my impression, sense camera gets better quality photos compare to stock camera app.

By saying "Android pictures", do you mean "native" Android (phone designed for Android") or Android ported to WM "native" piece, like HD2?
