New hotfix

This update for HTC HD2 further extends support of the SD Storage Capability. Taking pictures with your 5 Megapixel lens and dual LED flash can only truly be appreciated at the maximum quality, and now with this update, you will be able to appreciate how much more you can store in your 8GB or more SD Card.

Galaxy Note-II Hardware/Software Issues.

Software: Some of the very important features found in Gingerbread has not been incorporated in Jelly Bean. For example, I cannot transfer apps from internal memory to extended SD card or change the default installation path. I have a Class-10 SD Card which i planned to store Games, Music and other space consuming apps but no 'Move to SD Card' option under apps detail has been provided like in Gingerbread 2.0+. This is a huge disappointment for high end devices like the Note-II with 64GB expandable slot.
Hardware: I find that the Note-II 8MP camera is relatively inferior compared to the Xperia Arc when it comes to shooting pictures Indoor or under low light condition. It captures fabulous pictures :good: in bright light but the most annoying is the GRAINS :crying: that appears while taking pictures indoor. I don't know, may be it is because of difference in build in camera sensors.
I just hope an Update will come up to solve the above issues.

Nope cos jelly bean doesnt support it

I agree with mancuk29 , but i think there is a mod that alows you o move to external/SD.
Ref. Camera i am very satisfied and working perfectly !
Also the new video options like Slow motion and fast forward are amazing !
Cheers

I agree my SGN2 takes superb pics outdoor in the daylight. However, the images appear grainy in low light when used without flash. My SGN2 is just a month old i dont think there's any issue with the camera.

The camera produces porminitly grainy pictures in low light, it annoys me but the low light option in the camera settings reduce it by a good ammount but they'd still be noticable.
Outdoor quality is OUTSTANDING!

Reports from another thread here leads me to believe the camera issue is a software issue, seeing how other camera apps improve on it a lot.
Stock camera uses way too high default iso, try to lower it for better indoor pics.

I'm 99% sure the high noise level is because of the zero shutter lag. With cameras it's always a tradeoff, you can't get optimal exposure, low noise and fast shots at once (unless it's a really bright scene). You can pick any 2, but you can't have all 3.
My solution is to use the low light mode when I want a really nice pic, regardless of the light conditions. Especially in macros it's a day and night difference, and I'm not talking about the amount of light in the pic. All the noise in the blurry background disappears completely. They should really have advertised the low-light mode as low-noise. If you can keep the phone steady, macros, landscapes and other still scenes look like they came out of a nice compact camera. Initially I was a bit disappointed in the camera too, but now that I learned my way around the options I think it's quite amazing what they got out of such a tiny sensor.

u r clueless

Im still using the Xperia Arc and I find the camera is fabulous. It takes great quality pics both Outdoor and Indoor even in low light without any speck of grain or noise. I think samsung is also using Sony camera in Note2. If this is true, then the cause of high noise level/grains is not hardware related definitely should be a software bug. I hope an Update will solve this problem

Another bug I found is that the camera settings auto reset to default every time you close the camera. Changes in the settings do not get saved. Very sad indeed.

Hey don't forget to wipe the camera lens glass before taking pics. . it gets Dirty easily. ... silly tip but very useful... try taking a pic then clean the lens glass and then take a pic again. . See the difference

Does anyone find the speed of focus and shutter is very slow?

I am now on Oxygen OS 2.1 and find out shutter speed and focus speed is very slow especially under dim enviroment. It really sucks and makes me hard to record my child. I research for a while and find out the root reason is focus speed is slow. Sometimes you think the camera has completed focus job but it sill keeps finding where the focus point is. I dont if one plus two team will improve focusing speed in the upcoming firmware update or some powerful third party kernel or rom.......

What do u mean root is reason? U mean rooting ur oneplustw two causes shutter speed to be low? If so where did u get this info? Please share the link

Hi I don't mean ROOT cause that..... I just think what causes shutter speed slow is poor focus performance......

Any tips for better photos?

I get some distortion or blur if there's any movement when I take a picture. Im not talking about anything high speed, just my dog or my 2 year old. If she moves her head just a little, the picture doesn't turn out and her face is half or completely blurred. If she sits still, no problem. I've rarely had this problem with my xperia zl.
I'm using the latest marshmallow update. I had the same issue on lollipop. I've tried playing around with the hdr and quality settings. I've tried setting the storage to Phone or sd card.
I love this phone except for the disappointing pictures. Has anyone had any success with another camera app or any tips? Is this just a limitation of the phone? I would like to try a few things before I look into getting another phone.

Have you tried using manual mode? For movement, you want the fastest shutter speed possible, and likely the flash to get enough light into the sensor.

Actually, I haven't. I'm guessing the manual mode is the "control focus & exposure" setting? The slider with what looks like a little sun, would change the exposure and shutter speed?

Better lighting

Open Camera works really great

Take pictures then get a little help with PhotoDirector/ you finally feel happier with it.

Thanks for all the tips. I've got a few days off coming up and will be testing them out.

No ois builtin?

No. This phone doesn't have ois.

4k 60fps on sd????

Hi all
After one update back on s9+ the option to record 4k 60fps on sd card was disappeared! I was using it all the time to my 512gb u3 class10 samsung sd before that, so I ve emailed samsung and of course no response came by!! Sometimes I think there is no reason at all for some things that were working just fine, to remove them! So I sold the "updated" s9+ buying a new s9+ 6 months ago and I ve never updated it to this specific upate, so everything is fine since then
So I wanted to ask you if this option still exists in s10+ when video recording on 4k at 60fps, can you save it on your sd??

Is this so hard for someone to test?

Mine let me pick the highest resolution video and have the SD card option. Hmm, didn't attach 2 pictures
Well I can show another picture when I get to computer but yes it seems to work

no its save on device storage

It is still available.

Look at both ss

So can you please begin recording at 4k 60fps to see where it's finally truly saved? Also maybe HDR does its thing and doesn't let it record on the SD when on 4k 60fps?

Repeated

Apparently phone forces save on internal storage for 4k 60fps with and without hdr.
This is on S10 plus SD855

You're right. There's a message that pops up about saving to internal storage when you try to record
