[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] napilopez:
Engadget made a comparison of the N8, SII, and MT4GS in their review for the Slide, and claimed the 4GS was just slightly lagging behind the SII. Now, that may depend on your preferences but imo, the 4GS takes better shots, based on the samples I've seen. The thing is, the 4GS has an auto-enhance feature turned on by default, which may be good for like facebook uploads, however, degrades quality at full size in order to remove noise and artificially sharpen. If you turn that off, you'll see the pictures, in fact, become even better.

Imo, the SII might produce slightly sharper pictures, but the 4GS is more accurate with colors. The SII tends to look a little more "washed out"
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
Don't forget the sensor in the mT4GS is BSI
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] napilopez:
Yep. Truly standout low light performance for a phone. Actually, better than most cheap point and shoots if you ask me. Also, there's this thread with some of our own photos: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1231050
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
It takes better pics than my several years old Nikon Coolpix L4 P&S (except Macro mode, which is amazingly excellent on the Nikon, and I haven't really tested on the mt4gs).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] napilopez:
I'd say give it a try, macro works beautifully on the 4GS, though I haven't seen the Nikon of course.

Took this shot 2 days ago. It's untouched except for scaling:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
Beautiful picture. Here's a couple macro shots for you.

First, the Nikon:

Second, the 4G Slide

You decide. I do think it might be a little unfair to use a different subject, but I can't seem to find the Uruguay coin, and I don't know what I did with the Nikon, either. The Nikon had to be on a tripod to take that shot, though, so the 4G Slide has that over it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] napilopez:
The Nikon definitely looks better there, but I must jump in to further promote the MT4GS' potential, haha.

It seems like you have auto enhance on on the mytouch?(it's on by default) It seems a little artificially enhanced. As usual I recommend you turn it off, even if it means a bit of extra noise. Or maybe it's because the photo is cropped at full zoom?(or both haha)

I wouldn't say the different subject is the issue so much as the different lighting, though =P

Here are a couple of shots I just took, also unedited in any form except scaling. My main complain is that sometimes during really close macro shots it can be a pain for the camera to actually focus where I want it to!

These were mostly done in relatively low lighting, which still seriously impresses me about this cam. Indoor shots come out great, if slightly warm.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
I have turned the auto-enhance off (first thing I did) and the picture is not zoomed or scaled, just cropped down. Both images were cropped and compressed to jpg using the same settings. And yeah, I've noticed that even in good light the macro mode has trouble focusing when really close. The Nikon was about an inch away while the Slide had to be about 2".

Those are pretty good shots.

Oh, and the lighting was the same for both shots - dark room with the same halogen desk lamp + my monitors, the color temp is just a lot warmer on the Slide vs the Nikon.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] napilopez:
Oh ok, it just seems like the coing for the Nikon is receiving substantially more light. And that's what I mean by zooming, being cropped down. Like mine are the entire image, but scaled to a 1024 pixel width.

Anyway, you win some you lose some. Nevertheless the 4GS takes some great shots :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
The only reason I can think of is because the Uruguay coin is much lighter in color than the other coin I used fro the Slide.

It's definitely a great camera though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
Well, that's weird. I've never seen that above 25%.

In fact, I just took a picture with a flash at 41% battery.

Edit: And here's the picture, macro mode w/flash

Looks better without flash, though

Original post updated w/ pictures...Comparison...Here it is also...Enjoy!:D

Update: 9/24/11

So I went into the Sprint store today to check out Epic4G to see our brother phone (Hercules) in person. I took some pics with my MT4GS and Epic4G. I'm pretty surprised...

NIGHT MODE.

As you can see the Epic4G is much more crisper and has more accurate colors.

AUTO MODE.

(Epic4G has more accurate colors and is not washed out like the MT4GS.)

(You'll notice the yellow on the price tag is washed out on MT4GS and not true to color. The text is washed out as well.)

(Look at the details on the black phone case on the bottom left. You can see details on the Epic4G, but on the MT4GS its washed out.)

Look at the blue area against the wall and you'll notice the Epic4G is much more richer in color/contrast and is also sharper around the edges.

Based on these samples, I was surprised of the results, as in I thought the MT4GS

would have

been better with indoor lighting. But it's not. Also based on the online comparisons of the SGSII camera, it's proved to diffuse the fame to claim of our MT4GS's of having the best camera.

If you look at the outdoor shots of the SGSII and compare it to MT4GS, you'll notice that the SGSII has an edge in picture quality. Less noise in general, better contrast and more true to color.

I'll update more soon...enjoy...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemikelx:
I tried to backup my ROM using Rom Manager. In order to proceed, I tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery via Rom Manager.

The phone rebooted but in recovery (3e), I had the signature verification error in Red.

Due to the rave reviews for ROM Manager, I'd rooted my phone with S2Root as CF-Root will not work with it.

So now, as I want to backup my phone, I would like to re-root my phone over S2Root with CF-Root .

Will this cause any problems?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
You need to a flash a cf-root kernel that gets rid of signature verification, then in cwm you can backup your rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Use this kernel if you want rom manager+cwm recovery.

Or you can flash cf-root and use CWM manager (app) it does most of the same stuff, just none over the OTA download/flash stuff.

[Xoom General] Liz210:
I added clockworm and hammerhead to my xoom yesterday and it has bricked on me. It is not in bootloop. I got it out once, but cannot get it out again. I have tried everything thing. The power +/- is not working. It will turn on and continue to loop.

When I power off + volume/+ I get Stating RSD Prototocol Support 3; the computer is not recoginzing my device.

I did something that I got the CWM screen which I did a factory rest/wipe and clean cache. I noticed that my computer recognized my device durning that time. Once my device rebooted; boot loop again. What am I doing wrong. I am planning a road trip Thursday and need my Xoom up and running. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have search this web and others and still no luck. Maybe I need a better understanding of how to use CMW.

_________________________

I found out how to get to ClockWarm Mod; computer still not able to recognize Xoom.
[Xoom General] joshndroid:
FIRSTLY, you are NOT BRICKED... at best its a soft brick.. because you get a boot loop...

get the stock files from here if your wifi only xoom http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/MZ604_HWI69.zip/

extract them..

connect and get to fastboot... you can even get to it while in a boot loop i boot looped mine way back.. easy fix DONT PANIC as you are doing... keep trying

then flash the files with fastboot... done

fastboot flash system system.img

same thing with userdata.img, recovery.img, boot.img and done back to STOCK STOCK
[Xoom General] Liz210:
I got it fixed. I reinstalled another file of Hammerhead on my SDCard and reinstalled using ClockWorkMod.

Thanks for your help.

[LG Optimus 2x] chavnick:
Can we flash a rom in zip format (containing bin and fls files) using rom manager by renaming the zip file to update.zip?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No, update.zips (ROM Manager doesn't care what it's name is anyway) need to be properly formatted, you can't just bung 2 proprietary format files in a zip and expect your recovery to be able to deal with them.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tinpanalley:
Hi all,

The New Yorker magazine has a Galaxy Tab edition of their app and I was wondering if there's ANY way to get this app for an Android phone. Surely there must be an .apk somewhere?

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Case_Quarter:
I'd been looking for the APK, too. I found it last night and installed it on my ViewSonic G Tab (w/Vegan Gingerbread) and after a bunch of application errors, finally got it to work. I loaded the onto my Droid 3, but haven't gotten it to work.

It is a laborious processes with multiple downloads and registrations.

Go to www'nextissue'com/instruction'html# (replace ' with . - I'm not permitted to post outside links yet) At the bottom of the instruction page is a "Try downloading again" link that will start the download of the Next Issue (NI) apk.

Once you get the Next Issue app installed, you'll have to create an NI account.

With that installed go to the NI Store inside the app and click on The New Yorker (TNY) sample issue. In the new window, select the "Digital Upgrade" button.

You'll then have to enter your subscription information from your TNY mailing label. Once that is verified by NI, you'll be prompted to download the TNY/NI app.

After the TNY/NI app is installed you may have to input your NI login information again.

Then, the TNY issue has to be downloaded on to your device via the TNY/NI app.

When the download is done, you should be able to enjoy TNY on your phone/tablet.

Hope that helps.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tinpanalley:
Ok, so essentially, I'll still need a digital subscription. I wish there was a way to know it would work with my mytouch4g before paying for a whole year subscription.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Case_Quarter:
there are sample issues to download and preview, though you may have to enter credit card info for the sample -- says you won't be charged if you cancel w/in 30 days.

try to download the apps, of you get that far and everything is working, then the magazines will probably work.

It seems like some print/mail subscriptions include the free digital subscription and others are additional $. I have print subscriptions for New Yorker, People and Esquire. After I entered my subscription numbers, only Esquire asked for payment info.

The New Yorker is working well on my tablet. The site says it's "optimized" for the Samsung Galaxy and Moto Xoom. People had a video that wouldn't play inside one of the articles so it may be that some features won't work on "non-optimized" devices.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tinpanalley:
Well, what I'm hoping for is to be able to pay to read it on my mytouch 4g and on my CM7 Nook color.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] clizzy:
Does anyone have the apk for this? I tried to install TNY on my xoom using the NI Store and couldn't find the app listed. Their support folks then told me that it has only been released for the lower resolution devices so far.
[HD2 General] az5k:
I'm currently looking to perform several repairs on my well-beaten HD2, and I was wondering if anyone knew if I can get any replacement housing?

I know there are standard replacements, but I saw this picture (below) and wanted to know if it's possible to get these parts.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
I cant see any image or link but i presume you are looking for the housing.There are many HD2 replacement parts on the net.But the safest is ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Replaceme...rts_Tools&_ipg=200&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1514

Or if you are only interested in the housing:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Back-Case...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3a67e596bf

Replacing the housing is pretty easy so its better if you order one and install it yourself.However, If you want to replace the LCD,digitiser or the flash, its a real pain to get to the components,so you might want to send it to a local smartphone repair store for repair.Hope that your HD2 will be back in full glory.Gd Luck:)
[HD2 General] az5k:
Thank you for your reply but i was looking for a white housing in particular.

I think the picture has gone down.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
well,i dont think theres any retail white housing.The pic should be a customised one from a user,using enamel or primer and paint. But if the pic u found is the retail version,i would love to know!.or if you really fancy a white housing(without all that painting hassle),u can do a makeshift one like this guy:http://www.brendacarescorner.com/2011/06/hd2-white-skin-and-looking-good/...just paste the skin over your housing!.
[HD2 General] az5k:
I appreciate your help but i couldn't find it anywhere. I suspect some photoshoppery may have been involved. :( it looked like a standard HTC case with all the branding, etc. I'll try get the picture back up when I'm on my computer.

Edit; from my notebook, the image shows up fine, maybe it's a bad host, but here's the image again - just for good measure.
[HD2 General] SPEEDHAMMER:
Well,its definitely not real. Its either a render from a CAD program like Solidworks(I used it to do render a white Evo4G myself! or its Photoshopped. The image just looks slightly pixelated and a bit too 'digital'...But if someone manages to make an actual white HD2...im definitely up for it! Actually,if you have the money,it is possible.You just need a blow molding machine, a mold of the housing(made by CNC machining) and use a white thermoplastic/thermoset material.If you have someone working in this industry,you can try your luck!:)

cheers!
[HD2 General] otigoc:
If you look closely, it's pretty easy to tell that someone has just done an inversed (negative) version of the standard press shot and then pasted the screen back on top. There's no white shell unless you homebrew one.

[Motorola Triumph] b_randon14:
I don't know what exactly fixed it for sure. I just took the stock system.img from the complete non powered on nandroid backup posted, extracted all the files(using unyaffs.exe) and went through and auto deodexed framework and app using an auto deodexer tool found on xda, then the files taht wouldnt auto deodex using that .bat script, I used the baksmali and smali jar files to manually deodex the rest. I kept geting erros on the DbgCfgTools.apk(but ir ead up on the erros i was gettinmg and some of the htc sense roms were getting erros on some of there files like that and they said to use the -I option when baksmali'ing the odex file and it ignores the errors I guess, but that app was refering to bootclass paths that are no where in any .jar file on the phone so it's likely that apk didnt work in the first place cause if it was called to, it would display the same bootclass errors.

Yeah you can link to this, and I will make a stock deodexed rom that also formats and replaces everything in the /hidden partition(i.e. all the bloatware) as well as a bone stock rom so someone who has messed up the hidden partition can get back to bone stock easily!

after seeing a coworker's Bionic (lucky bastard :p) which had the same style case with kickstand (apparently they sell those at the verizon store) I bought one from amazon as well. It should be coming tomorrow, so hopefully I can give a more thorough review. I've been looking for a kickstand case for a while, and none have been even remotely slim except this one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] knyghtryda:
just got this case. From what i can tell... it checks all the right boxes for a case. its light, its thin, its slightly soft but still durable, and most importantly, IT HAS A KICKSTAND. My only concern is the durability of the kickstand as it seems like the hinges and movable parts feel flimsy even though the rest of the case feels solid. On the plus side there are no folding plastic bits which you know will eventually snap.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ForeverSupra:
Bad ass case, I love it. I had it for my Droid 2, Fascinate and my Charge.

I have one. I love it, and the kickstand is pretty sweet feature for watching stuff at lunch break in the conf room.

I broke off my clip eventually as I am always catching it on something while getting in and out of equipment and my desk chair. (kinda a wide ass). I super glued it back on with some Barn's FSA Adhesive and it's back in business.

Best case/holster I have had of all time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] snorelax:
It's pretty good for all of the reasons already stated, but my only complaint is that it's kind of a pain to get the case off if you're a guy like me who needs to remove it twice a day in order to switch batteries. That's all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
I have it

I got mine in a package deal when I purchased my phone. I love it, keep the phone nice and secure. I love belt clips, especially when you can rotate it. Sometimes I clip it to my messenger bag to catch videos of my bike rides. Once you start using the kick stand, you can't go back. Get it from verizon so if it breaks, they will provide you with a replacement.

Is it really made by Samsung? I need one of the "holster" with clip, so that I could use it while at the gym.
