I think the micro USB/hdmi slot can only output video.

No, that's not possible. You can only use the "smart remote" camera app on the a7RII in combination with the playmemories mobile app on the Note 4 to have a remote view (using WiFi) of the screen, but that's most likely something you've already figured out.

Hi,
"only output video" ?? What about load a complete nre operating system/ROM ??

Thats possible with Nikon DSLR cameras that have biultin Wifi but not via HDMI. Phones HDMI is Out and camera's HDMI OUT too. both will send signals to one another only

Hi,
I tried that app, but is not good for my propose. I need high definition for focus.

I understand, but the screen is so good anda the size is perfect for me.
If a forget that is a mobile phone and is note 4 just as a screen of camera ?? with some version of Linux ? anything.
My alternative is to by another monitor that is more expensive and with less defenition...so I am consegering to use this Note 4 just for Photography.

Do you think dhd has all the features or it missing something

Hi guys
No very soon we will get the DHD
But do you think. DHD has all the features or it missing any features
Thanks

From what everyone has been able to read and see so far the only thing that would be desirable (no pun intended) would be a HDMI port. For me at least anyway.
I think the lack of a built-in coffee machine is unforgivable. Other than that, it seems OK

It seems to have most of the features of current phones, but there are some things it could do better like the camera, screen, battery life etc. There's no such thing as the perfect device unfortunately.
Front camera, camera button, HDMI, pouch and headphones in the box, bigger battery.
It's not perfect of course, but I think it has everything I want satisfied better than any other phone on the market. And that's what matters, I'm sick of waiting for new phones to come out before upgrading from my featurephone
- HDMI
- 8 (or 16) gb Internal memory
- A (much) better camera... The photos taken by dhd that I've seen on internet are very very poor! They seem that they have been upscaled by software to 8 mpx... blown highlights and so on.... very disappointing
IMO I dont think its laking in anything ...
1.5GB is fine for apps when has anyone had more than 700Mb of apps ? (waits to be flamed )
The shots from the camera look poor but i dont think thats the scensor ... maybe test S/W or drivers as the pictures from the N1/wildfire/Desire's 5MP camera are better.
Only thing it could have is HDMI but with the media streaming im not too fussed :-D
All in all this phone is a beast H/W wise
where r the beloved trackball/pad ???
Front facing camera

Well I am a Spotify Premium user so 8gb to 16gb of built in memory would have been great ..... but can live with it being on an sd card
Just one feature lacks: a better resolution display to match iPhone 4.

A HDMI port would be nice, but I spose DLNA (is that it?) makes up for that.
Hopefully the screen will live up to the 'HD' name (my touch HD doesn't )

+1 from me. I've got an HTC Desire just now and so far not seeing enough to persuade me to change to a Desire HD. Also not sure I can face the risk of going through the hassle of the Bluetooth not working with my car gain, which was the case with the Desire until we had the FroYo update.

Android fault or HTC I don't know.

So, finally "real" OTG support (still via LiveDock but that's a plus too).
Hope they'll keep up with Ice Cream too

The live dock isn't working with the xperia play.. I posted a question in their site and they said there's already a dock for the play and live dock isn't supported with play :S

3D sweep panorama! Nice ;D
And OTA update to 2.3.4! That probably means we won't lose our root
I don't think we will get the camera update too because they are meant for the 8mp exmor cameras not ours :/
We dint even get digital zoom in the recent updates when the arc got it
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
yeahh.. lots of new features.. can't wait for this update..
Wish I could get excited about this but you know Verizon is never gonna give this to us.
Maybe I'll root it however I'm not a fan of rooting a device I rely on to function properly 100% of the time. Thats why I have a nook running CM7 that I screw with.
I was wrong :O
The new xperia neo V just released and it possibly has the same 5mp camera as in the play so HD video recording might be an upcoming possibility and if we get panorama means we no longer will have the stock android camera App
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
I would like to know, will PLAY's released after October have 2.3.4 on them or will they have 2.3.2?
Also if they have 2.3.4, will it still be possible to unlock to Bootloader and flash a rooted ROM?
All the best,

Old stock will still have 2.3.2, new stock will have whatever it had when it left the factory.
Why does this matter?
Whatever you get, simply plug it into your pc, update via PC Companion and you have the brand new official version.
No PC? Simply update OTA for the brand new version.

I believe the current method is to downgrade to 2.3.2 then flash the new firmware, then update OTA. (dont quote me on that)
I havnt done this though, but i know it is possible. Just read some other threads to how to do it and you can get it done.
Careful not to brick your phone, a bit of reading is required

5 megapixel camera
16x digital zoom
Auto focus
Face detection
Flash/LED
Front facing camera (VGA)
Geo tagging
HD video recording (720p)

So note how they say "HDMI support" and "TV Out". I am hoping this is only needed via a software update.
I also found it interesting that they didn't include a Micro USB > HDMI cable in the box...
Also the Bravia Engine was an update that the X10 got so we might see that on the XP as well.
Yeah! Finally ab offcial Screenshots function for Xperia Play without root

Unless they give us Play users the same camera software most of the other Xperias have, I seriously doubt we will get the pano functionality.
...seriously, even the Xperia Mini Pro has better UI software for the camera than we do!

Well if the Neo V has the same camera as the Play then you would assume that they are cross compatible.
I always questioned why the put the Neo in direct competition with the Arc...
One is slim and sexy and the other one is frumpy and ordinary looking yet both had exactly the same features.
They are probably recalling all the Neo's and replacing the cameras and putting V stickers on their boxes as we speak.
I guess this phone has some kind of 3D capabilities, that's why it has 5m camera.

DIY Optical Zoom Lens module with 1080p output

Hi Everybody,
I'm thinking about to create a hardware for guys who are interested in optical zoom lens.
I've updated the spec and demo clip.
I'm very familiar with AF(Autofocus) and I've some really great AF algorithm. I'm thinking to make a module which can do autofocus and leave enough interface to user to explore more applications with it. Here is brief spec for this project and if there are more people interested I'm going to make it to be a kit:
1. 18X Optical zoom lens with F1.8 aperture.
2. Encoding 1080p30 to SDCARD and output 1080i60 through HDMI or Component.
3. AutoFocus and Manual Focus. Controllable by commands.
4. Wifi is optional for control and remote live streaming. There will be Android apps for it.
There will be a lot of interfaces open as command set, controlling by UART, or USB interface. The hardware will be with metal housing which can be assembled to many places with screws and nuts.
Here is the link:

Any question is welcome at present.

It seems not too many people are interested. I'm feeling strange that there are so many camcorder sold with preset features, why nobody is interested to make it fully controlled by themselves?
For example, you can have your computer to control the camera to make it surveilance camera fully controlled by yourself. Our your cellphone to be another monitor and controller of the optical zoom camcorder......
I m interested

In fact I'm collecting application and wishlist for it. Once the spec is fix I may want to start to get it to be something that's affordable. Well, lens is so expensive.

Usage of USB webcam with Galaxy Note 10.1

Hello Everyone,
I am just posting this thread and very interested to know whether someone has even tried to use the external USB/Wireless Webcam to connect to the Galaxy Note 10.1 and use it as a webcam viewer. I have seen the links below and understand that some Android Devices mentioned there can make it happen already and there is even an app there. So if someone interested or tried before this, kindly share your thoughts/experiences and I will be very grateful indeed.

I am very keen to know this because I am trying to use the external USB/Wireless Webcam as a rear camera attached/connected to my Note in my car so that when I want to park,view wider rear view while driving. It would be very nice if the above works with the Note

[Q] Nexus 4 Camera Improvement Topic

Hello Guys
We all know how poor is the AOSP's camera app by supporting features ( slow motion exc. ). And N4 has a bad video recording quality with 12mbps bitrate. We can improve it by a mod ( topic is at the second link i gave ) or with a program called LGCamera. Well there is no visible difference between 12mbps and 20mbps.
I made some research and found that these phones use the same Sony Exmor IMX111PQ image with N4.
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ( It supports slow motion feature )
- LG Optimus HD 4x
- LG Nexus 4
There are two topics i found that they are useful for this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...vs-nexus-4-camera-recording-v0-2-avc-t2159076
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/mod-increase-camera-audio-video-image-t2039553
How can we improve the Camera App ? Is there any port from Samsung Galaxy S4 Active ?
I would love slowmotion feature. Its awesome on iphone.
First of all at the brochure of IMX111PQ it says that the sensor can take 720p at 60FPS.
And we know examples of Snapdragon S4 Pro can take 720p 90FPS videos. So where is the problem ? I think it's defintly software limitations.
They share the same hardware but different camera drivers, that's one of the reasons we have such poor camera quality... mostly is bad-optimised drivers. (the sensor has some blame on this too).
Our hope is to get new camera drivers with the new Google Camera that has been announced some weeks ago, if not, it'll be more like another camera that you can find at playstore.
Well it can be the optical stuff also ( optical elements ). But its not only the video quality. The camera app is very stricted. There is no options to select.

Bump. I like my N4, and before making my decision on going on another phone, the only thing I do not like is the camera. Takes longer to focus, bad image quality (unless i photoshop afterwards) . So isn't there any way of improving it?
