hi guys i have been fiddling around with 2.1 for about 24 hours now and may have found a VERY simple lag fix
on the left page there is your quick settings bar tap on the brightness tab it seems that $ony didnt optimize the screen very well on my device it is using ALOT of power witch is really no suprise but hey hopefully this may "Fix" some lag problems until the very talented devs *cough* sarcasm *cough* over at $ony actually fix the problem
cheers guys
and i just want to say thankyou to all the devs that have been working hard on the bootloader and ROOT
Wait what?
What does the screen brightness have to do with lag?
I'm guessing power consumption to much going to the screen and not enough going to the cpu / gpu that's my theory anyways

The two are mutually exclusive. Neither affect each other.
Also, the quick way to test this is to just turn down the brightness and see if the phone is still laggy. It probably will be.
actually, when your phone starts to lag, if you use the app android info, alot of the cpu power, is going to the face recognition operation. Like around 60-70 percent cpu power. Which is weird that you cant disable it... when it isnt doing that, the phone runs buttery smooth. It starts on its own for some reason even with all my auto-syncs off :\ its worthless anyway, all the pictures it tagged were all wrong
Hi there...
I am searching for hours now...
I want a Flashlight-App that uses the "ultra bright" mode..
all apps I found only were "medium bright"...
if you ever used a Flashlight-App on HD2 on Windows-Mobile, you should know, what I am talking about.
Only App I found was nexus-one-torch.
I think it "takes photos" to make the dual-LEDs go maximum brightness, but the disadvantage is: it flickeres alot..
Anyone knows a Flashlight-App that uses maximum brightness of the dual-LED-Flash on the HD2 with Android?
Thank you!!
Greetings from Germany!
I like Tesla led. it seems pretty good...
But Tesla LED is not as bright as Windows-Mobile or "Nexus One Torch".
It does not utilize the maximum led-brightness. :/
Why would you need the Max LED flashlight?
Are you gonna setup a party xD!
I think that.. its useless.. the "one" (referred to the settings/drivers) we got now is awesome.. i can clearly see everything in my room when the lights are off.
Because the device is capable of such a brightness..
aaaand...
BECAUSE ITS COOL!
and you risk damaging your led lights...

Uhm.. NO? Windows Mobile runs the maximum brightness with the standart HTC-Flashlight-App.. so definately: no!
=> Still searching an app!
have anybody found app? i also searched it for ages ....

You risk destroying the LED's, they will burn out.
It doesn't matter what your own personal experiences are, they will break. Think of it like staring into a laser and not seeing instant visual disruption. It'll happen, just give it time and it'll mess things up.

Everything breaks eventually my friend. I admit it may shorten the leds life span but some might not care because they wont use their phone for years and years. I personally have been using high mode on my nexus one for over a year and its still going
If you need something brighter than tesla, wouldn't it make sense to just use a maglite? Phones are great for minor conveniences, but just like the cameras, if i wanted top quality photos, i'd buy a digital camera not try to squeeze quality out of an inferior cel phone cam. Same with the flashlight, great if u drop ur keys at night, not so much if you're trying to light up your whole backyard or something.
-HD2 Android-
i dont think the torch app really uses the brightest setting.
i think its a matter of being properly programmed/optimized for hd2.
You could try Mag Flashlight, it has two brightness levels, but I'm not sure if it can use dual LED
yeah i remember the stock Hd2 flashight was WAY brighter, it puts the ones on android to shame, i want it back!
Yes, I've downloaded all available flashlight apps on the android market for my htc hd2, and NONE of them have matched to the htc hd2's windows mobile version. That particular version had 3 settings, low medium and high. All of the android flashlight apps seem to match the MEDIUM setting that the windowsmobile version was able to output.
Can someone port or write an android app that's nearly identical to the stock htc hd2's flashlight app that had 3 settings, without the annoying 5 second demo animation at the beginning on how to use it? That third setting (high) was KILLER, and impressed all of my friends as to the htc hd2's dual led true potential!
Same here, anyone have found any program with full bright?
HERE IT IS! (well i think its it. IDK)
okay so i pulled this off my typhoon CM7. its the "Torch" app. it has a high brightness setting as well as a strobe feature. (i have my mini raves XD)
its in apk format.
put it in sdcard, use a file explorer to locate it and install it. it should work.
btw i forgot. if it works hit the thanks button have a good day.
Unfortunately, like everyone is saying even the one that you pulled from the typhoon (althought it says it is the highest possible setting) is not the brightest setting that WM was able to achieve. Anyone else still looking for this like me? If someone who knows what they are doing could do this, it would be awesome!
For those that don't understand why we want this, you haven't used the WM LED flashlight long enought. I actually have great stories that goes along with the brightness of HD2 flashlight in WM (from everyone envying me at concerts to saving a bunch of us in the middle of the woods after the sun went down in the middle of a hike that went wrong =P).
Hey guys, picked up the new S5 mainly because I really didn't like the camera on the M7, and actually missed the warm un-inspiring plastic of my S3, but one thing I new I wouldn't like is TouchWiz.
Now I'm really confused as to who has been experiencing lag or not, a lot of websites say there is none, some say there is a lot, but I haven't really seen a conclusive post on XDA.
My phone lags a LOT - like sometimes if I'm typing there will be a half-second stutter whilst it recomposes itself, if I am scrolling a lot there also might be a half second hiccup, even swiping through app draws/recent apps can sometimes cause this stutter.
It a massive step back from the buttery-smooth Jelly Bean/Kit Kat I'm used to on AOSP ROMS or even Sense, but I was just wondering if this may mean my model is faulty.
Whilst you may be thinking, a half second here or there? Chill out bro! - there is one section that I know CANT be right - the camera/gallery!
My camera can take a good 5 seconds to start up sometimes, burst shots have a good 5 second delay, and generally my pictures dont look as great as I was expecting - as if the focusing doesn't do its job properly.
Sometimes after takign a picture the camera app can hang for up to 5/10 seconds or even require me to switch out and back in again - and the GALLERY IS HORRIBLE. The gallery is taking >5 seconds to boot from the camera screen and hiccups the most when swiping through.
I tried an Antutu test just to see if I was underperforming, hit 34k when other S5's hit 36k but don't really think it's all that relevant.
Anyone else with similar experiences? Is my phone perhaps faulty or shall I just suck it up until hopefully a GPE ROM comes out (PLEASE INCLUDE ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE GOOGLE/SAMSUNG - it's the only TW bloat I really like!)?
Cheers guys, it's been a while since I was last here!
nobody?
Mine can be pretty damn slow sometimes too. Try going into developer options and disabling all transitions and animations.
That might help it be a bit speedier

Not sure why my Note 3 is doing this, but it used to be a lot better at taking pictures! It is stock, not rooted or anything.
It used to be pretty quick to focus and take pictures, but now the majority of the time it takes forever to focus and usually ends up blurry. It says 'processing' forever now too when taking pics and if i move it takes a pic of whatever is in the way then. Not been dropped or abused. It running stock android 4.4.2 on it (newest available to me.)
I'm don't know what is wrong with it, but any ideas would be good, thanks

Hmm, took a few pics tonight and the Smart Stabilization does make a big difference with it off it seems. Weird as I've had it turned on since I got the phone, but its gotten worse and worse... Will try some more tomorrow during the day...

First thing first. Check if it is an external or internal issue. To check if it is external, take a closer look to the camera (if possible with a zoom ?) and if you see the lens is foggy or some moist inside there, then you will have to open it. To check if is internal, install 2 or 3 other cameras that work with selfies and see if it is blurry too.
Could you post an example?

1st, if you want someone to answer to you, you must click on the reply button. otherwise, that person might never know that you are asking him something.
Now, this is a picture of how more or less a foggy/moist lens would look like (like fog accumulating on the interior).If you take a close look and you dont see anything abnormal, then it is more likely to be something inernal (software related) but in order to see whether is that too then, you might want to install several camera apps and try each one. if none of the show a blurry image, then it is software related. if all of them show you the same result then ... it might be external and you would have to open the phone.

A) If the OP is serious about this thread, they'll come back and actually check it and see my request. If they need me to hit the reply button, that's just lazy and not giving a care. If they don't care, I don't care.
B) If you meant to attach a photo, you forgot to.
C) I'm not really interested in seeing what you have, I'm here to help the OP. I've been doing photography for over 30 years now. I pretty much have seen it all. Not sure why you think I want to see what you have since you are not the OP.

Er, the OP started the thread and commented about blurry photos, what made you assume the thread was suddenly about you?
And there's about a million different reasons for photos to come out blurry which is why it is best to ask for examples instead of jumping on a solution that is probably somewhere at the bottom of the list out of possible reasons first. Makes complete sense that I was talking to the OP if you're actually here to help the OP.

Ah. nevermind I thought I was talking to the OP but now i figured out i was talking with someone else.
Do you know what a hierarchy chart by any chance? (dont go taking this question the wrong way now)
Yes, I know what a hierarchy chart is but I fail to see how that solves the OP's issue without the OP coming back and giving us examples of his/her blurry photos.
To get back on track, and yes this is almost pointless without samples of the blurry pics, my front camera seems to "smooth" selfie pics as if to make them seem better. They look, to me, like they have been processed to look "better"--like some people often do on Facebook to pics of themselves, particularly if they are above a "certain age."

Thanks for all the suggestions. It turns out lens had collected dust under the screen protector. I took some pics without screen proctor they came out just fine. I am sorry to reply so late due to hectic work schedule. Truly appreciate the advice. I didn't mean to post a question and disappear.

Just bought the V20 and I've got to say how disappointed I am with the front camera, particularly auto mode. It's almost impossible to take a picture that isn't blurry. The only way to get a decent picture is to switch to manual mode and increase shutter speed. Once you toggle between shutter speed and iso, you can capture really decent pictures. Where this causes problems is when you need to snap a picture really quickly and don't have time to sit and adjust settings. I'll probably return this phone and go for a Samsung. At least I know I'll get great pictures. Very disappointing.
the front camera sucks because of the focus, that's why mines blurry anyway. it's like infinity focus so anything closeup, like a selfie, is not sharp. the galaxy s7 was the same way.. the ffc was garbage on it bc of this. weird, bc my note 4 ffc was 10x better than both and that phones 3 years old lol

I think it has something to do with with the stupid beauty filter on the front cam for selfies. Even if you turn it down to 0 it still looks like it's applying a smoothing effect and there is no way to turn it off as far as I know.
Just doing a comparison shot in another camera app like the Google camera I can tell a difference in the detail of my skin. The Google camera sucks because there is too much noise overall but I can actually see the individual hairs on my beard whereas on the LG one with the beauty thing turned to 0 it still looks like a smoothed out mish mash
