[Q] My HD2 Camera isnt working good.

Hi,
The day when I got my HD2, the camera hasnt been that good.
Sometimes it takex excellent pictures, but many a times it doesnt.
I upgraded to the stock ROM 2.XX and now running the latest Elegancia ROM.
Sometimes the camera just tries to focus and then just takes what is possible.
But yesterday i compared mine with another HD2 (also with the stock ROM) and the other phone takes amazing pictures.
Could it be a Hardware problem?
One more thing that I have noticed.
usually i do not like to set the Image preview on. But many at times, I hear the click and as I decide that the image is taken, the picture appears to be stuck and later refreshes. Turning the Image Preview On resolves this problem.
Its like as if the camera has become faster and more responsive.
Any clues for the image quality? or the Auto Focus ?
I havent tried the registry tweaks etc,
I tried setting ISO to 100 ,
Flicker to Auto,
Image quality to Normal.

Elgancia rom has camera issues I had a problem where they came out really blurry or the flash and the camera would make everything white. If I was you I would flash it back to t-mobile stock rom and check if it makes a difference if not maybe its your phone.

You more than likely have original release HD2 hardware. What color is your reset button? If it's red then you do indeed have first revision hardware, and the camera not working properly is a known hardware fault, and most of the time T-Mobile will replace your device free of charge because it's a known problem.

You think thats what it is ? I got mine the first day it launch and works fine and then flash it to elegancia rom and came out crappy. I will look for some samples photos of stock and the custom. The reception issue I still have it as well my battery last around 8 hr annoying.

Reply and analysis.
Thank you everyone

Aahh now there is a catch. I am in india, my brother bought this for me from ebay USA. So i guess i will have to live with it. Thank you for this clarification.
Others, please check your phone camera quality. as the other HD2 I have checked has good quality. Otherwise its an amazing phone. It has been the best buy so far.

I dont know that, But I dont think either. My camera issue has been from day one. Elegantia ROM has made my phone faster and more elegant I would say.
But I assure you, I would check back the Stock ROM later and let you know
Meanshile, i would also ask steve about the same.
Or.
Maybe if someone else had this issue and got it fixed ?
Wonder if there is any fix that i can try.

Got a new SGS2 and noticed a few things

Hi guys,
I just sold my "old" SGS2 which I bought on the second or third week of launch of the international version and got a new one. Here are some of the things that I've noticed:
1. Red spot on white background picture while using the camera is GONE. I thought this was a software problem before but I guess it must have been hardware related. Flashed two different roms now including the stock one and still no red spot.
2. Yellow stain on the lower portion of the notification bar is gone. Color is even with no hint of the yellow stain that plagued earlier versions of the unit.
3. Color of the screen is noticeably darker. You wont be able to notice this most of the time but on apps like dialer one wherein the default background color is gray, you can really see a huge difference. Darker but not less brighter, I don't know how to describe it but you can really tell the difference.
4. Capacitive button lights are much dimmer. I tried them on different kernels and roms and they're still dimmer. Not a dealbreaker though.
Overall I am very pleased that Samsung quietly addressed these manufacturing issues
*edit* actually I'm not sure if I was just lucky or they really fixed it

Concerning the screen, you just got lucky. The yellow tint is still here on new batches. One thing I noticed however, is that the two new units I used, had no processor usage interference when headphones were used. Did they add proper shielding or was I lucky as well?

Actually I think I spoke a little too soon. Apparently the white's and the grays are my screen are a lil darker than usual and a little to the shade of purple. Some people have it as well. My white's are not as white as before but when i turn the brightness up it turns into a pretty good shade of white. But my grays are definitely more purple.
Oh well

Every sgs2 is unique, i like to think (so i don't get annoyed by it) that every sgs2 is a piece of hand-made craftsmanship.

Noticed the darker colours on my friends new SGS2 also. .

Can you please do the following: "First of all please check your existing camera firmware version by typing *#34971539# and then press Phone/CAM FW Ver Check."
And post what shows up on the screen?
Thanks!

Pretty sure sammy havent fixed anything, as some one said ur lucky as am i lol. My phone has no screen issues. Just the usual getting hot problem, so i dropped cpu to 1000mhz and undervolted, much better. If the new GS3 has a quad core processor it will be a sweet portable heater. ;-)
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!

This code works only on stock Samsung ROMs. It runs CameraFirmware.apk

Yeah, forgot to mention that... I just wanna know what camera firmware you have considering it's a brand new phone... I'll post a walkthrough to get it running if you're willing to help.
What ROM are you running??
Sent from my GT-I9100turbobit.net/gf3fywnc5s1n.html download this file, copy it in /system/app, change permissions to 644 and then reboot phone... then try code again.

Even i never had screen issue nor the overheating issue.Mine is International version.

[Q] Colors on the Nexus 4's Screen

Hey Guys .
I just Bought a LG NEXUS 4 ! I was with the HTC one x before !
and the question that I want to Solve is That When I picked it up I found the colors really bad on the screen ! the Colors Or like not as sharp as they would be On a 720p screen .
So I was Wondering if that's Normal ! if That's the case with all the nexus 4s out there Or it's just my screen ??
I'm also experiencing the pinch-zoom delay (not responsive) ! I'm runing official Android 4.3 .
So I would like to know if Rooting and installing a custom rom on My Nexus 4 will Solve any of these "litlle issues" or it's just the same for all the other nexus devices Out there ??
Thanks for your answers . Good luck

I've been thinking of switching from One X to nexus 4 myself I'd like to steal ur thread a bit and ask the same question, is nexus 4 screen much worse than the One X?

colors can be improved by flashing a custom kernel like franco or faux or any kernel based on this two or that support gamma control
you can find colors spreadsheet heres the link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoDp2qRui0u0dGE4T2gtSDBTRHVFSldPS2RrX1Rya0E#gid=6
and can set color by that or can manually figure out which suits you
and about pinch to zoom that is what pinch to zoom is made by google it will be like that in gallery and i suppose chrome
you wont see that delay in firefox or other
hope i helped

The pinch-to-zoom delay is one of the most annoying things of the N4. I can't believe they didn't "fix" this.
And please don't suggest me Firefox. I hate it.

i'm not suggesting anyone anything i'm just trying to make a point that it works fine on that but not in gallery etc so its not a hardware problem or like that only if someone ever can find where those values are and can change them the delay can be fixed

I suggest you to stay with the ONE X !! cause not only the screen is better !! but also the camera is Much better and the HTC sense is Great !! I miss it so much .
So really stay with the One x ! or at least Wait for the Nexus 5 .

Thanks
Thank You Guys for your support and Help . :good:

My sister got the One X and the color are absolutely sh** in my opinion.
The colors on the screen are like dead.
We also did a youtube video comparison and my N4 beat my sisters One X in aspects like sharpness and color. (yes full brightness).
Im completely stock.
Just want to put it out there.

For me personnaly, the One X screen is way better sharper
Its True that the nexus 4's us brighter.
But the color reproduction is way better on the One X screen
And also the camera is better on the One X !! Defenetly.
And Im sure that a lot of you Will agree with me.
But whatever.. Each one has his own préférences so.
I still got the One X and side to side with the N4. The difference is noticable.

The One X has over saturated colors. Stock 4.3 is much closer to natural colors. I don't have any issues with pinch zoom with a custom kernel. Camera on the One X is much better. The screen color issues you guys see I think are similar to those coming from Samsung devices with super over saturated AMOLEDs.

I don't know if it is already on our system but I cant see it in my lock screen options so I assume it is not available for the Note 3.

You can see the screenshot of the lock screen selection and it shows "Light Effect".
Maybe someone can shed some light on this matter for us

Actually on our device on android 4.3 it was present but on kitkat they must have taken the effect off also about the app somebody suggested.... the app does work BUT you cannot see the small light when you hover your finger over the screen actually you can but if you keep both your lockscreens active which is a bit uncomfortable so it is a dead feature for me at least and the app is not convertable to system which means you cannot push it to system which also means the app could fc at the lack of ram or a another third app closes it to save ram etc etc....and the worst thing of all was after I found out that kit kat didn't have lights effect/flare effect it was too late to go back to 4.3

Weird.
I am still on 4.3, I am running Omega ROM v6 and I cant see it available in my lockscreen settings.
I hope someone can work on a mod for 4.3/4.4 then for us

Black Crush S10 Plus ?

I bought a galaxy S10 Plus recently and I already noticed the same problem of display as my old galaxy s9 plus, the dark parts are pixelated, the famous black crush, I am well stressed, I sold my s9 plus and bought the s10 plus only because of this problem, is there any way to resolve this without application? the screen balance spoils the image more than it improves.

Can you solve this? I used an application but if it closes it unintentionally the bad effects come back and it brightens the blacks but worsens the rest
Edit 1 :
I've done it until the hard reset did not solve it, I restored the original software from Brazil's sammobile site and it also did not change anything ... what can I do?
