Hi guys,
Can you please let me know if it's normal to have only a 777 score on Quadrant with Froyo 2.2 on Dell Streak?
I've just got the phone and haven't done anything to it until now.
What are the main things I should look after to improve performance, launchers...and so on?
Is there an easy guide on how to root it? Can I get back to stock if I want to return it to warranty?
Thanks for helping a noob fellow on Dell Streak. I was using HD2 until now and moved to Streak...but i'm a bit dissapointed.
777...thts around how much u r gonna get on the official 2.2....when i was on it it used to avg around 850...
what u can do is either use the performance fix found in this forum( actually go to streak android development)...just scroll down..ull find a thread titled 2.2 performance fix....and install it based on whichever baseband u r on...
or else u cud try going to steve's 1.5.1 version, instructions for which can also be found in this forum...
and obviously u can get it back to stock config whenevr u want if u ever need to do tht for warranty reasons...

Is there also a camera fix? It does extremely bad pictures in low-light. Even the HD2 I had with android did better pictures. Or perhaps another camera app?
thanks a lot mate.

well there is no such camera fix...i have to agree, streak doesnt have the best 5 megapixel camera...sometimes my 3.5 mp cam on my 5800 outperforms it in low light conditions...
there are some camera apps....i have only used 1 so far...called as camera 360...u can find it on the market...u can add lots of effects to photos..u can chk it out...
DO you mind taking a picture in a completely dark room and share with me? mines have a green tint on them as if they were taken with a night vision camera. Many thanks in advance mate!
Will try doing later..am out at the momemt..

well more than getting a night vision kinda photo my photos show nuthin....the flash is too weak to capture an entire room space...
results are better if u have an object a few feet away...
and also the green comes if the autofocus hasnt happened properly....atleast for me....
will post pics later if u want...
well, streaks definitely not a substitute for a digital camera especially in low light and dark conditions...
but then, thts not the reason why I ( and I am sure several others) bought it,,
Has anyone found a workaround/fix for the low res contact pictures when sync'd with Facebook?
Extremely annoying seeing pictures that are blurred on a high spec phone!
Running CM7 Typhoon latest for HD2 UK T-Mobile.
No-one? Any-one? Hello....not even a 'no' ..... can anybody answer me?

I've noticed the same with some people's fb profile photos. Others look ok. I thimk it just depends on the photo they use. It probably looks great on their computer screen, but is likely so far from the size needed by the Android fb app to be clear, that re-sizing reduces clarity greatly. And since it's other peoples pics on their profiles, you cant really change or edit them. So I doubt theres gonna be a real workaround, short of asking all your friends and family to use much smaller profile pics.

honestly, if you could use Google, like I did for this same problem only days ago... you would find out that this is a prevalent error that doesn't seem to have much of a fix.
I have thought about just saving a folder of contact pictures and seeing if manually assigning them would resolve the issue. but I believe the actual issue lies with Google sync or the Dialer only using thumbnails for the contact pictures.
I had Googled but no-one seemed to have any real idea about the reasons behind it happening. I appreciate there is no genuine 'fix' for it but I wondered if the infinite wisdom that is the XDA Forum could shed any light onto an otherwise grey area. Does anyone know if Google are doing anything (if they can) to fix it for future releases?

All settings are on high , it's on 5MP in settings ... I don't know what to do . Please help .
Are you rooted yet? Some custom roms have a few tweaks to the camera settings but without s-off (i think) and root, you won't be able to use them and are stuck with either stock camera or an app from the market.

Plus, pics viewed on your phone from your phone always look shabby but should look better when viewed and a larger screen resolution i.e on your p.c

Solution
I've seen a whole lot of HTC Wildfires with the same problem (I work as a cell phones dealer), and virtually ALL OF THEM had the same cause of that problem, and that is: scratched lenses. But, don't panic. You can solve this for free. The tools for solving this are most probably in your toilet. Don't do any rooting or something else that can be hazardous to your phone before you try this:
1. Take some of the tooth paste using a tooth pick and put it on the lens of your phone. (tooth paste is incredibly good for a glass polishing)
2. Take a toilet paper and polish the lens with it.
3. That's it.
It may seem funny but I'm not kidding you, this thing works. Even though lens may seem like they are not scratched, but there actually are a lot of little scratches that are extremely hard to notice.

Hi,
i started on the official Sony Mobile support forum a Topic with the difference between Burst and Automatic Mode .
Here ist the link : Link : http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/445145#445145
Perhaps WE FROM THE XDA FORUM can write more reviews into the Sony Topic and perhaps Sony will see that they made a (i hope) software error !
We should show Sony the Way !!
I've already talked to a Sony dev and made them aware of the issue. They said they have already gotten other reports about it as well, but continue to let them know. The more people that complain about the issue the better.

Ok that's good .
How you say The more people write about this issue into the Forum of Sony Mobile the more will Sony see that the People aren't stupid
Don't know what you people are looking at, but pictures on my Z on burst mode come out disgusting. Loads of noise, no extra detail, they look absolutely awful. Just do not know what making normal pictures look like crap will do to help....
Simply put we need a sharpness and compression control setting like the HTC One, that's it.
i have a camera related issue but its not directed at burst mode, when I take pictures at night I get a blue tint at the bottom of the photo if im holding it in portrait and if I have it in landscape its obviously on the right hand side its not a subtle tint but a very dark tint and its pretty bad. anyone having the same issue?
the problem is that this is the second xperia z to have done this so if I am the only one this has happened to then I must be the unluckiest guy in the world to get two handsets with the same fault

The smoke truth is, the low light performance of the Z is only decent when you use night portrait in scenes. Try that and see if the quality improves.
Also I really don't know where all this talk of bust mode pictures being better comes from. For me they're are absolutely horrible. Noisy as hell and just unusable.
The only problem with the Zs camera is under low light, it's much improved if you use night portrait as I said but that's the only weakness I've found. In good light it smashes everything I've compared it to so far. IPhone 4S and 5 don't compare and my friends GS3 is no where close.
The Zs camera gets a bad rep because the Z gets a bad rep from the tech blogs. Sony is an outsider and I doubt they've greased many palms.

tell sony to get their cybershot department to write some proper software.
I've been comparing my xperia z to my blackberry z10 and the blackberry pictures are so much better. Same subject, one shot after the other. Sony really need to fix this. And quickly.
the other biggest ISSUE of Xperia Z camera is it takes DAMN LONG time to load up.:crying:

Similar problem on low-light (used night portrait scene, night scene, normal, all with flash).
Cleaned the lens, flash etc. Seems like the flash is placed a little bit too close to the lens.

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
