[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
besides unnecessary parental control put in place on the camera, like battery limitations, forcing your music to stop when its loaded, and inability to function when mediascanner is running, theyve also, and made a unmutable shutter sound and auto focus sound, and

removed the option to adjust saturation, sharpness, and brightness

.. and in the video camera,

removed the the ability to pause the video

, now you have to straight out stop it and take another one.

why did they do this you might ask? because they added extremely watered down picture editor, and video clip editor. and they somehow think that adding these after picture/video editors was such a good idea, that they should just remove them from the camera entirely.. wtf samsung?

now what i wanna know is what WE can do to fix this? is it possible to take these settings from the galaxy s1's camera app, and add them in to the s2's? the camera apps are extremely similar

EDIT: a solution?

i really think these things can be fixed, maybe not adding the saturation, sharpness, and brightness back, that seems like alot of hard work, and i guess it isnt TOO hard to edit the picture afterwards.. but i think removing the 'parental controls' put in place, is simply a matter of deleting that area of the app's code. i wonder if adding the ability to pause the video would be hard, it seems like a simple enough thing to do.. but i dont fully understand how one would go about doing this..

for SGS1 owners, do you guys remember Fr4gg0r? he created a hacked camera app that removed the battery limitation, music from stopping when camera loads, and even added the ability to use the hardware lockkey as a camera shutter button!, and he added a thumbnail of recently taken picture in the bottom right hard corner (which we now see built in to the sgs2). really amazing work! however i spoke with him, and he doesnt plan to get the sgs2, but i wonder if we looked at his changelog from the origional apk to the modded, if then we could just make the same mods to the s2..

can anyone a little more knowledgeable than me give me their thoughts?

[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
Modding the camera app is very difficult since it's closed source. Might be able to take the AOSP camera app and hook the driver up, but that's hard too... amount of work depends on how good the camera driver meshes with the AOSP camera app.. I think?

I've never tried to do anything with the camera so hopefully someone with more knowledge of it can pitch in!

As to your complaint about the settings... do you really sit there before taking a picture on a phone camera and fiddle with contrast/brightness settings? I wish I had your dedication to taking good pictures! :D
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I'm guessing suspending other applications when the camera's running is to preserve resources. I don't think I've ever been listening to music when I've used my phone as a camera. I don't agree with taking away flexibility but I think the percentage of people impacted isn't going to be high.
[Galaxy S II General] ker0zene:
I can understand your concern but I don't think these restrictions justify saying they screwed up the camera badly.. maybe if they used a crappy sensor, but judging from the photos and video's I've seen posted quality looks very acceptable!
[Galaxy S II General] dickie2007:
the reason i expect u cant use camera whilst media scanner is running is due to the fact samsungs internal memory, where pics are stored by default, is mounted like an SD card... also ive only ever had media scanner running once re-mounting from mass storage or when turning phone on... although ive never actually tested this senario as my phone is always on and storage mounted...

neither of those issues are a problem for me though... at least ive never encountered them during usage...

[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
i know removing the battery limit requires deleting some lines of code, same goes for it killing music, and forcing a shutter sound and focus sound, but would it be incredibly hard work to add the ability to pause a video, as i find this really necessary when taking videos
[Galaxy S II General] samnada:
I fully agree about pausing a video recording. I've often used that feature on my SGS, and find it very puzzling, and annoying, that they would eliminate it. Quite odd.

[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
screw camera up??? except for the battery and music "issue" in my opinion this is one of the best cameras on a mobile, i tried many different modes and the pictures are quite good :)))

unfortunately we cannot always have everything in just one gadged :))))
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
well we may not be able to have everything, but i wont stop until i get some results.. ive been talking to a clever developer lately, whos on board to help me modify this app
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
I've started modding the camera app for battery level etc. Will take a look more today :)
[Galaxy S II General] Cezar`:
These mods shouldn't be hard to implement and there is no closed source when it comes to android. We have apktool and smali / baksmali, we don't need source code from Samsung for this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xharos:
I want to overclock my SGS, and I´m running Darky´s ROM v10, Gingebread 2.3.3

Wich kernel should I use? Thanks in advance :3
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerdal:
I recommend Talon Kernel ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057705 ). It doesn't have a few usefull for me features (like swap or compcache) but work perfectly. It's very stable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xharos:
Sounds good, but any chances on overclocking over 1.2 GHz?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guzmanus:
If u wish to do that i'd reccomend you to switch to a cm7 based rom and install tk-glitch kernel, that supports overclock up over to 1.5GHz

PD: si, soy el guzmanus de eol, el mundo es un pañuelo xD
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiral5:
I had Darky´s v10 RC6 and talon Kernel and it worked incredibly.

Regards.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerdal:
Actually all ROMs based on Cyanogen's mod are very unstable. Actually they are only for ppl who know how to create workarounds (or repair) some of problems. I don't recommend these roms and kernels. Maybe in June/July these ROMs will be enough stable to daily usage :)

From what I know actually developers of Talon Kernel are working towards increased overclocking. They created patch that support overclocking to 1,3 GHz but it was deleted day after (probably it was bugged :P). I think we should wait.

Btw... Is it worth to overclock CPU? Actually all apps and games can't fully utilize 1 GHz CPU.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higadeb:
This is not true at all! I've been using CM7 for a week now OC'd at 1.5 without any issues. The only niggle was setting up the voltages for the OC, but other than that it's very stable and doesn't get the credit it deserves!

Also, the devs are very helpful and have their own Q&A thread if anything does for wrong (which for me it hasn't).

It's defiantly been stable enough for daily use IMHO since the 06/05Nightly build. & battery life isn't that bad either (~70% of stock) which I expect can only improve with releases esp as the devs admit the sleep code is a bit faulty.

I'm not saying everyone should jump on it, but I wouldn't just dismiss straight away. Give it a try & you may be pleasantly surprised :)

Anyway, shouldn't this be in the Q&A section and not development?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerdal:
I used CM7 nightly build a few days ago and It wasn't working properly. I'm checking every week a new builds looking for "stable" version. I have problems with making a call to anyone, problems with mount external microsd card and more. I haven't tested OC because I don't need it. It's true that CM devs are very helpfull :) I'm still waiting for version which will be stable for me, and all features which I need will work properly. I have CM ROM on my old HTC G1, and this ROM was amazing so I still wait for stable build for SGS :)

Yes. It should :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higadeb:
That's curious. Did you check the Kernel wiper you're supposed to use each time you flash/upgrade? It supposedly gets rid of most issues. Anyway, I guess maybe I just got lucky with it working well for me then. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerdal:
Hmmm... I will check again :P Maybe I forgot about it this time :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guzmanus:
Those problems you talk about are mostly produced because of wrong bootloaders, specially if you come from a gingerbread ROM. Try flashing froyo bootloaders and then using CM7, it is awesomely stable
[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
So, who's anxious for the Mango dev-kit to be released? I've got some ideas that I think I can finally work on when the latest SDK gets released.....
[HTC 7 Pro] Mr. Clown:
Moved to proper forum as not development
[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
How is this not development?

How is talking about the SDK not development?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
Hi !

I flashed my phone to CM7 today, after that i wanted to flash MIUI..

That didnt work out, so i flashed back to standard to repeat the rooting and flashing to a slim rom..

Now i have an LG Logo flashing through my background, has anyone experienced this ?

If so, pleeeeease tell me there is a fix for it :mad::mad::mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Dont get it. Screenshot, picture or video?
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
No no, when i boot my phone you see the LG Logo..

Now when im in Android (stock launcher etc) i see the same logo flashing on my background..

Its hardly visible but i see it...
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Weird stuff.... changed background yet!
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
Sorry to dissapoint you, but thats not it :P

I think its gone now though, after a few (read as 20/30) reboots....
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
Yeah I had this ghosting first few boots of new baseband, i posted under:

I'm guessing no1 else saw this, but my experience was it went away by itself after a few reboots. Testing i'm fairly sure it was from pulling the cable while the lg+face image was still on screen after the baseband was flashed successfully.

Nothing to really worry about imho.

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] sinni800:
You see the same thing when accessing the phone through a VNC server using the framebuffer. You don't see the desktop here though, just the LG logo.

It's because Tegra does not use the framebuffer to display things. But somehow in your case the framebuffer DID get displayed in the background... somehow?!
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
it is gone after about 10 reboots :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Tookiejar:
This happend to me a couple of times. When im going back to stock rom thats when its happening but it dissapears after a couple of restarts :)
[LG Optimus 2x] otonvm:
Just wanted to report that I just got the same artifact after updating to baseband 0405. Still panicking... Hope it goes away...

EDIT: Seems to be resolved after 2 reboots and/or brightness change.
[LG Optimus 2x] rodscom:
I'm having the same problem after upgrade to the leaked V20o. I tried to restore to V20m and the issue still continued. I tried to restore to V10f and I still have problem.

I rebooted the phone more than 20 times and nothing.

Does anyone know how to solve this??
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Hi, just thought I'd create a thread for people buying the HTC Sensation, but also intend to buy a 32GB microSDHC.I will probably get a Class 10 type myself, but if anyone can link to lower class cards that out perform's Lexar's Class 10 card I, and others will be interested.

Please can we ignore any unknown brand cards, and anything relating to eBay. - As we know likely to be fake.

I found this card and if you have tried it, or are going to try it I will be interested in knowing how well it performs. As I intend to buy it for my new phone in a few weeks time.

£40...http://www.lambda-tek.com/componentshop/index.pl?origin=gbase10.5&prodID=2106472
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
What class is that card? It mentions class 10 in the description which is confusing, but that price is awesome if it is a class 10. In fact it's pretty good for a class 2 card! :p

[edit] just looked closer at that card and it is a class 10. wow!
[HTC Sensation] Ruudfood:
That's either a misprice or a fake. No way should it be that cheap. Even on ebay those are nearly double the price....from HK!!

Anyone ordered one yet? ;)
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Legit company. Checkout 32gb card thread in galaxy s2 accessories thread.

Apparently no stock though. I googled the manufacturer number and it relates to Class 10.

You know something, I wonder if they have put a cheap price up just to drive alot of web traffic to his website. Maybe permanently out of stock. Will ring them tomorrow to find out.
[HTC Sensation] MrPontus:
I upgraded from a 16GB Sandisk "ultra" to Lexar 32GB class 10, I noticed a huge speed increase, now the photo gallery loads pictures much faster than before, copying files is faster and nandroid backup is MUCH faster (over 1GB data to backup)

I don't know if Lexar is the fastest but for the price and performance it's very good.
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
When you consider sandisk extreme class 10 normal sd,can write 20 or 30mb/sec it is quite slow, for a class 10, but beggars cant be choosers, and its fairly new tech for microsdhc i guess. UFS-I looks ace. Theres a toshiba 16gb microsdhc that does 20mb write. Can people find out if the Sensation is UFS-I conpatible? Bet price is significantly dearer though.
[HTC Sensation] robertsmith1873:
As a photographer I’ve been using Lexar cards for many years and find them very fast, solid and reliable.

I will be getting one to put into my SENSATION, once it is released in the UK (just in time for my June upgrade yipee).

may still keep my HD2 and load up lots of ROMs……or……£130 to sell it on line to the recycling dudes. :)

Ok, this kind of breaks or rather smashes the price barrier.

Anyone have any dealings with this Guernsey company?

Cheapest is now unbranded for £44.99 for 32GB Class 2. I'd still go for the 32GB Class 10 Lexar from play.com for £68.99, personally.
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Oops my fault. Looking for SD for digital camera for honeymoon. Still the website is generally cheaper than everyone else. Ive found they send out damaged or returns orginals and sell as new. But dont know if any are fake.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Do we know what sd-card the HTC Sensation will come with?
[HTC Sensation] Ruudfood:
Yes, I've used them quite a few times in the past. Whenever there's been a problem (2 cards were not delivered even though they were apparently dispatched) they have sorted it out quickly and efficiently with just a single email.

I'd certainly recommend them.
[HTC Sensation] UsrBkp:
SanDisk 32GB Class 2

Kingston 32GB Class 4

Patriot 32GB Class 10

^ tested all 3 of this and stayed with the last one. For the price and size/speed thats the best. As I don't trust ADATA nor WINTEC along with Lexer. So if anyone interested seriously look in to it.

if you apply the ahead read buffer hack then you will get even higher read speed.
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Bought a Patriot 32GB microsd. Apparently write speed is 14MB/sec. :) 75 quid from memoryc.com

Recently got a 7dayshop 32GB sd card off ebay... fake. Typical lol.
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
Be careful with the Patriot cards . They corrupt all data when 16gb of data is achieved .
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Thats what happened with the 7dayshop card. Cant delete personal data off it and need to return it. Anyone know how to hack it to change size or low level format it? Usual format and file delete doesnt work on various laptops.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Try the Panasonic SD Formatter.
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Computer says no. I can read it but write nothing. Controller seems goosed.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
can i use my 32 gb sandisk class 2 with this phone ??

1080 p recording possible ???

write speed is going around 3.5 mb/s

i dont think so , right ??
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Well put it this way. I used a class 4 8gb microsd in my new 16MP camera. It took several seconds to write 1 photo. Granted cpu will be alot slower but still surprisingly slow. Id save for class 10 in long run. I got my Patriot 32gb from memoryc.com good price for a real card.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
have the Lexar 32gb class 10 for the last two months.. Bought for 48$..

I hardly find any difference in performance from class 4 sandisk...maybe the gallery opens picture faster especially while scrolling... But practically no difference in performance within the phone itself..

But a noticeable speed difference is there during Flashing Roms, doing Backup and restore of Nandroid backups and copying files to sd.via PC... all these are better than class 4 Sandisk...
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
Anyone have experience testing with the SanDisk Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC 64GB (and/or 32GB)?
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
so you think recording video wont work either with this card ???

edit

tried my class 2 sandisk 32 gb card with 1080p video recording and its works flawlessly...

i think its because it is nearly as fast as the 2 gig class 4 card thats shipped with it ...:):)
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Got my Lexar 32Gb Class 10 microSDHC card from play.com today.

No problems being recognised by my HTC Sensation.

Downloaded "SD Tools" from the market, which benchmarked the card as write speed 8.3MB/s and read speed 21.4MB/s. This is an average from 4 tests.
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
Yeah, ive been testing class 10 Storage Options SD card- full size, got similar results with h2testw. Will be getting a Patriot microsd in next day or two, will test.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
After reading this thread, I assume that class 10 cards work flawlessly with the sensation. I'm planning to buy the sensation and i'm wondering if a class 10 card will be worth it?

16gb: http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...y-Card-Class-10/Product.html?searchtype=genre

[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
i dont think class 10 is woth the money for sensation ....

i tested 1080p video recording with class 2 sandisk 32 gb and it worked flawlessly

who cares if i need 2 minutes to copy some videos or musik or 5 minutes

in my opinion ;)
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Supposedly, the minimum for 1080p video recording is class 6. Although it appeared flawless, there is the possibility on a class 2 that it was dropping a frame or two here and there, even though above you say that it was almost as fast as the class 4 that shipped with it.
[HTC Sensation] MaxReality:
A 2 minute 3gp file @ 1080p uses 124MB. Thats only just over 1MB a second. So looks like any card will be fine.

Patriot 32GB Class 10 microSDHC H2TESTW Rresults

Hi, finally got my 32GB SD card for the Sensation and have tested it for reliability/speed.

Under Core2 Celeron XP Laptop with internal SD cardslot...

Write speed is a steady 11.1 MB/second.

Read speed is a steady 19.2 MB/second.

First test has detected some errors, but having bought a few SD cards recently, I find, that reformatting the card and testing again, or in another pc, the card passes the test, so not panicking just yet.

I really don't know how it's physically possible to fit so much data on such a small card. But it has. :)

Under Windows 7 Quad core PC and usb card reader...

Write Speed is a steady 14.8 MB/second

Read speed is a steady 18.7 MB/second.

what is the class of the one that is delivered in the htc sensation (8gb)???

i get this original speed

write 5,4mbs

[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
It was a class 4.
[HTC Sensation] swissman:
my tests

Here are the tests I've done with my DesireZ (expecting to receive the Sensation today):

SanDisk SDHC - 8GB - class 4:

- Write Speed: 5.5 MB/s

- Read Speed: 12.9 MB/s

Kingston SDHC - 16GB - class 10 (the one I'm planning to add to the Sensation):

- Write Speed: 13.2 MB/s

- Read Speed: 19.1 MB/s

Quite surprised not to have better performances on the class 10
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Yeah mine cost me £90 something and it achieves:

4.9MB/s write

18.9Mb/s read

That's a class 10 kingston 16gb microsd in my sensation. Would be better with different cache but can't change it without root :(.
[HTC Sensation] swissman:
Well, I just received my Sensation, did the tests and coming to the same results as you (lower than on the Desire Z!). Mine was less expensive, 40eu (for the 16gb)

Does anyone know why so much differences between these two devices?

(vs Desire Z - Write Speed: 13.2 MB/s

- Read Speed: 19.1 MB/s

)
[HTC Sensation] Beeble:
I thought i'd take the risk of an ebay card and got this one for £60. - i figured with a 150k rating, it was worth a gamble!

Test results on PC:

Test finished without errors.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

Writing speed: 10.1 MByte/s

Reading speed: 16.6 MByte/s

H2testw v1.4

That was over the full 32GB. Not saying its the best, but seems to be ok for a cheapish card.

No sensation to test it in yet - thats coming in the next few weeks.
[HTC Sensation] EnhancerFIN:
Am I missing something or why did you pay so much for a no-brand card on Ebay, if you can get a high-brand Lexar with 10 year warranty for 64£ including shipping costs from Amazon?
