[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
Good day people of XDA forums.

I’m facing a strange issue with my old Galaxy S, I was using a firmware based on 2.3.3 and recently my battery won’t stand for more than half a day around 11 hours or so from full charge with minimal Phone use !

I decided to change the firmware and rolled back to 2.2.1 and that didn’t fix anything!

Then I decided to buy a new battery which to my surprise worked fine for a day then again won’t work for more than half a day !!

I fully charge my battery and after 30 min. it’s down to 85% with the phone on standby.

Any idea ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pwhooftman:
Why start a new battery thread when there are already numerous threads? Read those and experiment.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
of coz this is good, but what is the disadvantages of this?
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
Not to much hopefully, definately a reduced memory card capacity tho as files are BIG.

Still working out the best bitrate to use for video recording, I think 720p could be reduced by half 8mb as it makes almost zero difference to quality imho, what do you think?

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
Make a clip of 1080@30 and put it on YouTube? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] johnnydj:
could you upload the APK with the 30fps recording and 19mbps ?

I can't see the download link.
[LG Optimus 2x] masi0:
somemadcaaant, could you inrease audio bitrate as well for better quality?
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Oh my, you actually did it :D. Awesome work.

Only problem is that now I have to flash away from cm7 to check it out ;).

I'm pleasantly surprised the hardware is actually capable of it.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
didnt work at cm, get fc
[LG Optimus 2x] johnnydj:
but... where's the download link? o_O

[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
Sorry just modifying a new build, link is now up, I tried to make the bitrates more modest thru out 720p and 1080p.

I'll add higher audio probs tomorrow, i need a break lol

[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Anyone got audio sync problems? Got it on my first recording.
[LG Optimus 2x] LeJay:
Which rom? I'm flashing left and right here, trying to hit something that works.
[LG Optimus 2x] Riemen:
No, I did actually not know this. Tried to click the screen, but not to hold it. Thanks for telling me.

So this feature wish is obsolete.

My actualized wish list:

1. Autofocus in Videos

2. RAW-images

3. Slow motion

anybody else read this '1.1.3 - Tweaking default 8mp resolution, added initial 12mp values and changed compression string' in the changelog but doesn't see the 1.1.3 download ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] freudenbauer:
First of all really nice job so far.

I can´t find a download too. But do I get this right, he wants to make our 8mp to a 12mp camera? That would be awesome but I don´t believe it´s possibly.
[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
The sensor is physical hardware right?
[LG Optimus 2x] freudenbauer:
yeah that´s whats confusing me.

I don´t understand what 1.1.3 will change.

Power use high and everyone who calls get voicemail

I have installed the modaco rom fr18 beta2 with oc.

Everything works fine.

Then I installed this update with cwm recovery as a update.zip.

Now things starts to get messy, power drain is very big.

And when I put my phone on the power adapter it takes very long to get 100%

Also everyone who calles me get the voicemail.

I think with this rom the update does something that the camera.apk that takes a lot of power.

Does anyone have the same problem...?????

And sorry for my bad english I am dutch.
[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
Sorry man I ain't got the Beta
[LG Optimus 2x] johnnydj:
you have to check in spare parts what's eating your battery, but there is no way the camera.apk can do such problems.

did you exit the camera after using it? like hitting the back button 2 times.
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
New versions up, only speed tweaks i'm afraid -

Had a good look at Continuous AF, went thru everything and lots of research done, big job possibly to big for me with my limited knowledge of android api's - rebuild of the way video recording completely is needed (Start new app?).

Raising the fps past 30fps, max i can get is around 40fps in any resolution which is variable, i could not change the codec in favour of a constant bitrate to possibly combat this, other limitations also.

Lots of testing for image/video quality/fps.

Bit dissapointing tbo, maybe next weekend i'll find more.

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
This was an interesting find as the 12mp settings where already there in the java profile but removed from camera settings, i played with this to no end tho.

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] mindruler:
I found noting strange in spareparts.

Is there a good app to check wat the battery is doing..??

I run Adv. task killer and close the camera always hitting 2 times back.

maby I have to remove the battery stat's.

And I think also it's not the camera.apk anymore because I did another test.

Installed the rom again and did not the camera update.

Battery full loaded and not used the phone for 11 hours.

Then the phone was emty and off, battery total empty in 11 hours of not using the phone.

I will try the battery stat's to clear or else another rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
@ mindruler

Have you tried a task manager app from the market perhaps? Remove any unwanted apps in the background or that start up.

You shouldn't need to rename the zip, just copy to sdcard, boot to CMW, select "install zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from sdcard" and flash.

It will over ride your current camera.apk file found in system/app.

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
Thanks mate!

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
ok all fixed.

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] koboltzz:
Fixed?

No, I don't think so, cause camera icon do not change and video quality is the same (96 package)....there must be something wrong, your cwm method do not work on modaco Fr17.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
@ somemadcaaant,

your update script from new version is wrong, it cannot work !

i guess you mixed it up with your GPS fix ;)

here is corrected version of your zip :

Camera-1.1.3.4_44-96
[LG Optimus 2x] speedbreaker:
is it me or when i play the video on the tv it doesnt look like 30 fps but when i play the same video on the pc it plays smooth!
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
Apologies, i uploaded the unedited versions instead of the ones i tested with last night.

This is definately now fixed lol

@75markus

Thanx again mate for pointing out the error.

@speedbreaker

Do you have your videos saved and playing on your internal or ext memory? Internal memory for me is faster. if ext sdcard what class rating is it? I know playback issues of the video player can stem from a lack of available memory at times, probably a similar case with the hdmi, speed of memory plus swapping to and from ram all play a part in video lag issues.

@koboltzz

Should do now, sorry for the inconvenience.

Let me know if there are any more issues.

[LG Optimus 2x] Ben86:

A REALLY important feature for me: Is there any hope to have a PAUSE BUTTON, or a way to APPEND record to a previous file?

It's a features that is SO EASY to implement but I found only on Nokia phone (!!!!).

Thank you for your work, anyway!

Thanks a lot!

Is this quality? Can you take photo at outdoors? And what about green color and milk on image?
[LG Optimus 2x] vlad88667:
Hi!

How do you get this info file? Do you need to use a program to extract this info?

cheers!

EDIT: found it
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
+1 !!!!

I would also love to have this function included in cam !

you can make great videos with that, no need to edit on computer afterwards !

It would be my nr.1 favourite function to add !

As you said, my old nokia also could to this ...

you think it´s possible ??
[LG Optimus 2x] Beeklaan:
I too think a pause button would be fantastic! I had it on my LG arena 5mp stock...

Also, the phone sucks at recording sound in a club. Nokia's don't. I think this is the hardware? Or is it possible to tweak it?
[LG Optimus 2x] Beeklaan:
Woops, mistake.
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Sorry for the noob question. if ever i do install the camera tweaks, do i need to buy a higher class sd card. I currently have class4 8gb only, will it work? . Or is it okay to just use the internal sd storage
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
woot.

i guess my sd card(class 4 only) was too slow for video playback. sound doesn't sync when im playing on my phone but when i play it on pc. it plays really smooth and synced. is this an sd card problem or what?
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
deleted....
[LG Optimus 2x] CaFFeiNe666:
hi some, i want to notify a small bug...

everytime you access to cam, even when you "go back" from gallery (called from the cam itself by thumbnail) led flashes 1 time, for what i saw it doesn't happen always, but if you try various times, it does ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Beeklaan:
Mine uses it internal memory and still not sync. (with an older version. Didn't try anymore. Did work on PC though)
[LG Optimus 2x] MadCobbler:
Video is in sync for me even when saved to external SD (Class 4).

Is the camera actually capable of 12mp or is it not known at the minute? Cos it would be nice to know for the boasting rights ... lol
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
weird. cause mine doesn't

is the rom and kernel be the problem?

what rom and kernel are you using?
[LG Optimus 2x] speedbreaker:
is there anyway of getting rid of the artifacts when moving the phone around while recording video? it gets annoying!
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
i use to have those but after installing the camera tweak, there's like a 80-90% reduction of artifacts(is this the right term? haha). have you flashed this already?
[LG Optimus 2x] speedbreaker:
yes its the right term! which version of this tweak your using?
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
i tested all of them. and all are working good.

the "artifacts" used to be my greatest grudge on my camera and the camera tweak reduced it greatly.

and now i love my phone's camera <3
[LG Optimus 2x] speedbreaker:
strange i still manage to notice the artifacts when i move my phone around while recording! anyone else notice this while using this tweak?
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultimoo:
Wich is recommended and stable version of this tweak? Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] DJ Palmis:
No words about pause button?

Well.. so i have another dream: is it hard to record video.. recording voice from a Bluetooth handset???

That is a nice one feature...
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
I think it is really hard to implement ... :(

but, perhaps anybody knows how to do it ?! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
i did a quick search but couldnt find any thing but im sure ive read it before, when I zoom in on photo's alrady taken the bottom of the screen goes black, so i reverted back to stock camera and it's still doing it.

Any ideas people????
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
yes !

you use LG Gallery + Kernel with 64mb ram hack; that´s it

LG gallery is optimized for 128mb GPU, not working properly with RAm hack kernels.

workaround : use google gallery (no black border, but quality of zoomed pictures is much worse !) or use LG Gallery & kernel with NO ram hack (like me ;))
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
thanks mate thought it had something to do with the camera, must of read it over on the kernal hack site, will reflash the this camera again now
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Just to let you all know that quickpic is great app for viewing ya pics instead of gallery, good quality views
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
"just pictures" is also working fine ...

I cannot seems to be able to click on the Photo/Video toggle in camera app, and the take photo button does not works..

Any help/idea? thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] sndaniele:
I just bouth a sdhc 32gb class 6. Do you think that it will create problems saving video on sdcard? I mean..class 6 is enough fast to be written during recording witouth slow?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
yeah, i also use class6, it´s ok for sure ...
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
I'll add this to the list for future updates for me or others to look at, this feature has yet to be implemented into an Android camera app that I know of, quite a task i would imagine.

[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
For a while now I have been having all sorts of issues with my phone, like:

1. Overheating

2. Massive battery drain

3. Severe screen lag

4. Issues turning the phone on

They were never there before, and I have been removing apps one by one, trying to find the culprit.

In the end I have a hunch it's coming from the camera mod, as these issues only started once I started loading up the camera mods.

I am on Fear 10 (Modaco 17) with 64MB ram hack and was up to your latest camera patch until now.

I have just reflashed the ROM over the top and will see how it goes now the camera is back to stock.

But was just curious, have there been any other reports like this?
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
@ nathsgames

Nah mate, nothing regarding the camera mods of this nature, i've been using the mods plus a few extra quite a bit and my phone is normal with none of these effects. It doesn't even have a running daemon/service in the background, just the app itself if u start it.

IMO It could be side effects from the overclocking perhaps, kernal configuration and the 64mb ram hack as these are drastically changing the configuration of hardware to unknown levels, do you still run an overclocked cpu? Does your phone emit a kind of odour on the back?

I very much doubt the camera apk is causing these effects with your phone as the camera simply calls the camera hardware and relies on the overall speed of the phone, most of these symptoms you detail came about with other ppl before any camera mods.

See how you go, possibly even to the point of going back to stock rom/modaco rom for a while perhaps to see any lasting effects.

beyond this i've noidea.

I dont oc my phone just uv to be honest and using stock modaco rom with mcr kernal.

-smc
[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
Cheers for that, yeah something's up, anyway I 've just reflashed Fear and yes I have been running at 1.2Ghz standard for a while now, I might put it back down to 1GHz and see what happens, thanks mate
[LG Optimus 2x] CaFFeiNe666:
am i the only one who thinks, overclock on our device is useless? using modaco kernel fr14, just makes it really fast... without any overclock...

i often overclock my pc cpu... but there i can change everything... heatsinks etc... :P

we already have an overpowered cpu :P
[LG Optimus 2x] somemadcaaant:
Yeah, I don't play games with my mobile but even with an uv stock cpu/gpu our hardware is yrs ahead of any games to take advantage of such things.

I just thought i'd add a few interesting points for people, seems there is a little worry about the O2X's abilities and people wanting to go back to or move to other phones in some threads.

Here's video and audio quality comparison for video recording at 1080p between the O2x, SGS2 and HTC Sensation:

O2x (with mod)

Video:

17mb to 20mb

Min fps -20+

Avg fps - 29

Audio:

96kbps to 128kbps x 44khz

SGS2

Video:

17mb

Min - 20+

Avg - 30

Audio:

60kbps x 16khz

HTC Sensation

Video:

10mb

Min - 5+

Avg - 29

Audio:

128kbps x 44khz

So in summary...

The SGS2 has similar performance video to the O2X but with shockingly bad audio, you would never want to listen to songs with this.

Sensation on the other hand has nice audio with shockingly bad video compression and very low average fps which leads to more stuttering then normal.

The O2x modded cam shows that the Tegra 2 hardware can perform extremely well compared to the others if not better IMO, only let down by it's software, i can see big performance improvements with future updates be it official or community.

HTC Sensation shows it's older gen cpu performance in this case even tho its dual core and with Samsung obviously lowering the Audio quality to improve video performance (this is with both using the hardware decoder - Media Processing Engine, a.k.a NEON instructions also).

Thought this was interesting.

[LG Optimus 2x] vlad88667:
Hello everyone,

So while looking at the iOS 5 presentation, one thing caught my eye (no, not the obvious ripoffs from Android ;))

The Volume button shutter key. This seems like a good idea for those of us who don't use digital zoom with the volume keys (this should be everyone on earth because digital zoom is terrible).

I am wondering if this could be implemented in the O2X? I'm posting here because somemadcaaant seems to be quite the pro with all things camera.

So is it possible? useful? does anyone else want it or knows how to do it?

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 2x] CaFFeiNe666:
i partially agree... yes it does bad, but 2 or 3 steps of digital zoom, don't became so poor compared to useness ;) it can have a sense sometimes, and if in daylight, where quality loss is less visible it has a lot of sense :P
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
@vlad

the cm7 camera actually has that feature a long long time ago.

but yes you're right. it would be great to have that feature in this camera mod...
[LG Optimus 2x] kfallz:
Actually, I'd much rather like having the power button as a camera/video start-stop key, so you still have the zoom! Or better yet, configurable between the power/volume buttons.
[LG Optimus 2x] MoreYummy:
how long is the record video at 17mb bitrate?
[LG Optimus 2x] traxxus:
Depends on the size of the sd-card.
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
just saw sensation's 1080p vid.

well, what can i say... its very bad! even the sound is bad..

the light sensor is bad and colors are bad too..

one of the many vids i watched:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfaEzXzSqYU&feature=relmfu

the stock LG camera without Mod is even better eventhough it is only 24fps...

im now really impressed with our O2x's vid capabilities especially with this mod...

the only thing missing is autofocus :)

Hi, I just joined the O2X community, I bought my device a week ago..

Thank you for the great camera app, I really want to use it on my O2X..

But I want to ask about this on #1 post :

Do you mean that I have to use mod kernel to use this camera app?

If so, which kernel do you recommend? Can you give me the link to the kernel?

FYI, I'm still using stock ROM with stock kernel, everything is stock.. :p

Should I do anything (eg : flash new kernel, flash new rom, etc) before I can use this camera app?

Thanks.. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Lo_RaT_PeNaT:
no more updates? tks in avance
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Nope. You dont have to flash anything. For some reason, the camera mod works better for me on stock cause the sound and the video syncs during playback unlike when i was on modaco custom rom, no matter what i do on my phone, sound and vid does not sync. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] johnnydj:
use a class 10 card and record to card.
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Hmmm. I dont know but why does stock=no sync issues but on mcr=sync issues, I'm using same sdcard on both rom. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] johnnydj:
using the hacked camera on both stock and mcr?

no clue about that one o_O
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Yes. I tested the camera hack on stock and mcr. There is probably something wrong with mcr. Evn plants vs zombies does not work. Ahaha. I'm so random :)
[LG Optimus 2x] johnnydj:
well, PVZ doesn't work on a lot of android 2.2 devices.

it's a developer problem.

dunno about the sync problem tho.

I don't have sync problems recording on the internal memory of the phone.

you should probably try a full wipe and just install the hacked camera.

see if it makes any difference.
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
been doing that for about 4x now...

and still no result...

plants vs zombies works on stock and not on MCR...

haha...

anyway, im quite happy with the camera mod... thanks!
