Post Pictures from your Xperia Play!

Hello Everyone,
I haven't seen anyone start a post for this yet so I thought I would get the ball rolling. The only edits that have been made to these photos is resizing and reorienting. I've also made some comments at the very end.

I know some of the critics knock the XPlay for not having the best camera, but I think hardware-wise it is pretty decent. The problem is the software that it comes with, which is the native android camera app. It kinda sucks!
* No touch to focus
* No metering options (which really blows....highlights and all)
* No focusing square to tell me what it's focusing on (it highlights the whole screen)
Thankfully since it's a software issue hopefully it will be remedied...either by Sony for the hacking community trying to port over the Xperia Arc/Neo Software.
Anyways, please post ur photos if you have a XPlay!

Here are some if mine

My son, Taken in darkness

Pictures of one of the "knights" at Camelot, my dog, and my daughter feeding the goats at Camelot. I'm fairly sure you can work out which is which!
I find the flash tends to wash out the pictures, but I believe this is true of all camera phones with LED flashes.

BLT hehe

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I use the Vignette app rather than the stock camera. Lots if options available there.

Can you adjusting the metering with the vignette app?

Amongst the many other settings, yes.

Was bored waiting for some friends this afternoon, so I played around with tilt shift a little bit.

Those look cool. Kind of look like toys.

lighter spot on gray background on the screen ??

i just noticed 2 spots one on the right and the other on the left
they appear as lighter than surrounding area in a gray background only in low brightness
they are ill defined .... not a ring
i ll post a pic later on
any help about this ??

I believe this is a limitation on the SAMOLED+ ( was not there on the original SAMOLED ) some phones dont have this un-uniformity of rendering greys but probably a good majority have.

You have 3 choices:
1. Do nothing - no problem under normal use, so why whine?
2. Return the phone.
3. Find one of the 306507 threads involving screen defects and filled with the rantings of some of the most disturbed people you could ever wish to meet. Won't "cure" your phone, but it may be of some succour.
I recommend #3 for you.

LOL nice.
I actually have the same issue, and ended up in this thread. I'm just gonna live with it, not a big spot in my case.

Whats the first thing you are going to do?

Whats the first thing you are going to do with your Galaxy S III? Me? Ill be staring at the Super Amoled HD goodness for a couple hours. Having come from a Super LCD in the HTC Sensation 4G, Im very excited to see the screen in person. Also, Ill be test driving S-Voice lol

Thinking about this thread

Find out root, If I do post it in the Dev section.
Find CWM, If I do post it in the Dev section.
Start up my [REF] tonight and get it stickied.
Post a system dump of /system and upload it via FTP and post it.

Drag all my files from my gs2 to my gs3 (Titainum backups etc) and then look for root, and then (if found) restore my backups lol, then actually use it lol

Charge it to 100 before turning it on : )

get insurance on the B. after seeing those drop videos, now i'm hella worried it won't be indestructable as my HD2.
install a Martin Fields screen protector
put it in a soft rubbery silicone case for shock absorbing drops
and of course charge it to 100% before actually using the phone

I fail to see any screen artifacts, all I see is jaggies and that's not screen artifacts. That's just a lack of anti-aliasing.

Look at the leafs. they have some kind of black background around them.
and yes, happens on mine too.

Did you reboot phone? Uninstall and reinstall game?
If its still bad then email developer. Game looks quite cool, might buy it if they fix the issue. Post them the link to this thread in the email!

Yep i did that several times but nothing helps.
Game uninstalled!

It looks like the leaf images are supposed to have one color mapped to transparent. What image format is being used? GIF?

[My new APP] AirDraw - draw your text in the air by waving your phone !

Hey,
Just finished developing another app.
This time it's AirDraw.
What it actually does is flashes the letters of a word that you enter according to your phone location when you are waving it.
The outcome is like you are drawing in the air.
Its downloadable via Google Play for free (a little admob ad is inside, thats the reason it needs an internet access permission)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ValkA.airdraw
here is a slow shutter photo I shot while waving the phone (thats on LCD, which isn't that good for that purpose):
If you like it you are welcome to Like my facebook page.
ps.
notice that the app is at early stage, so any ideas are welcome !
LCD has slow response time, but AMOLED should be better.
I haven't tried that on AMOLED display so i'll be happy to hear about your experience, if possible some slow shutter photos are very welcome and will very help me to improving the algorithms.

Does it have to have full network access?

I know that issue, shouldn't be a problem to fix it in the next updates.
bleeeeeeek, it needs internet access only to show an AD (that is my motivation to keep developing free apps)
