Dear all members,

I have managed to do a little project of testing the Exmor R Camera on Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with comparison with Xperia Play and iphone 4.

Below is a box meant to test out Exmor R Camera which there is a photo of Android Figurine inside the box with total darkness and there is a hole on the top which allow the camera to be placed on top of the hole to test whether the camera can be capable to capture the image inside the box.

Photo of the Box for testing the Exmor R Camera :

Side View of the Box :

Xperia Arc and iphone 4 for testing :

Xperia Play for testing :

1) Putting test on iphone 4 to take photo under low light condition

2) Putting test on Xperia Arc to take photo under low light condition

3) Putting test on Xperia Play to take photo under low light condition

End Results - Image taken by iphone 4, Xperia Arc and Xperia Play under low light condition

1) iphone 4

2) Xperia Arc

3) Xperia Play

Great work, I am really impressed to see how well the exmor manages to record the colors in near dark :)

As long as I know, it can't take photo in complete dark place. It need just a little light. Or.... may be a little light to bright up the exmor r cencor.

[Xperia Arc General] honglong:
I did a quick night time test with the Sony Arc and iPhone 4.

What do you think? Which one is better?

http://honglong1976.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/iphone-4-versus-sony-xperia-arc/

I think the Arc's is better initially as you can see more, but the iPhone 4 photo over exposed slightly wins for me.

The colours on the iPhone for everything, road, fence, sky, etc are all spot on and look like they did at the time. The Sony Arc looks far too processed with the colours being incorrect.

If only Sony would reduce the compression more, and make the phone take more natural photos. Winner! :)
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
I heard a rumor that Apple is trying get license Exmor R for next I-Phone :D
[Xperia Arc General] Lord Takyon:
LOL they will just sue SE and state they invented the camera, lens and all associated technology.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Evil apple :D
[Xperia Arc General] chongbh:
I dun think Sony will approve this License if Apple really apply.
[Xperia Arc General] hygge:
Thanks for the comparison, it is interesting to see how it compares with other phone lenses as well as seeing how it manages to capture pictures under dificult scenarios.

I do not agree as to which is better, to me there is more details and much less noise in the Xperia ARC picture, just look at the number and text on the garbage can and the white text on the light pole to the left. It is all blurry and noisy on the iPhone and much cleaner on the Xperia.

If I sit back and look at all three I would also prefer the more clean look of the xperia arc than the noisy and messy iPhone pictures.

Can you access the picture info and see what shutter speeds and ISOs each image is captured with? You could try to change the scene mode on the ARC as this also changes how the ARC prioritizes between ISO and shutterspeeds as well as limiting the max ISO allowed.
[Xperia Arc General] spideras:
xperia is great in all ways
[Xperia Arc General] Bwyan Benton:
I'm not sure if you shot your comparisons all in auto or not. But if you did then the results are inconclusive. You need to take more control of the settings to maximize results from each camera. Also, if you shoot at ISO 100 with the arc, you must shoot at ISO 100 with the iPhone for accurate results. If the arc happens to fire a shot at ISO 100 and the iPhone fires its shot at say ISO 250....the iPhone will obviously show more noise. Higher ISO =faster shutter speed and more sensitivity to light but higher ISO also =more noise. Do you mind sharing the EXIF data from the images?
[Xperia Arc General] Gamefreak2:
lol Exmor R technologie is from sony so sony holds all rights to that :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePeKo:
Hey Folks

I tried now 2 times to get on the new Firmwareversion 4.x for the Arc with root.

Every Time i tried to Unlock per OTA the Phone bricked. So the Bootloader must be open.

I don´t touched the Bootloader, but i think the Bootloader is open, because the Phone had SimLock and i unlocked the phone with SETools with Testpoint Methode.

So the Bootloader must be open in a way am i right? But i can still update with PCC or SEUS the Firmware

Where can i check the Bootloader Status

Thanks in advance for Help Dudes :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Setool would have unlocked the bootloader, so have a read of the unbrick thread in the dev section.

Hi all,

I'm using Dolphin HD NOT Dolphin for Pad as HD offers more features at the moment. However I am missing the back and forward butons so I'm just wondering if there are any keyboard shortcuts to 'mimmick' the back and forward buttons?

Thanks

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySideUpAZ:
Well that was kind of a 'None Answer' given the question was about keyboard shortcuts.

I have the same question. I'm using a Microsoft Wedge Keyboard on a Xoom. Fantastic Keyboard by the way.

Since I got the keyboard, i will often place my tablet on the stand an arms lengths awy. Reaching over to the tablet to go to the next or back page is a pain.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I didn't see anywhere in the OP about a keyboard.:D

At the time Dolphin HD lack the onscreen back and forward button hence my suggestion for him to use "gesture".

Hi,

When i get a call from a someone in my contacts its coming up as eg. 1-888-888-8888 and not the contacts name because i have it saved as 888-8888 so it doesnt recognize it as a saved number in my contacts.

How can i fix this? Ive had this issue with older phones back in the day but i dont remember what the issue was called nor what i did to fix it.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillaSirrom:
i think it has something to do with changing something from 11 digits(1-888-888-8888) to 7 digits (888-8888) we only use 7 digits in jamaica unless we are calling overseas...

anyone know what file to edit???

[General Questions and Answers] gullkhan0:
So, I am going to buy a phone but cannot decide which one to choose. I mean I want a phone which can be

easily (sim) unlocked

easily rooted

can install ROMS with ease

The phone should be a high speed one and should not lag.

It should have a pretty good built-in memory.

The phone should be compatible with most of of the HD Games available in market.

It's camera should be a nice one.

It should support a wide range of applications.

It should support Flash Player, Java ..., I mean it should support browsing almost like a computer browser.

Personally I would prefer an Symbian or Android based phone. Though if windows phone have a variety of apps and can easily be rooted (if that's a term for windows mobile), I may get that.

And NO !!! No iPhone

Size\Weight\Price is not any concern.

Your help will really be appreciated.

Thanks !!!​

Not sure how to explain this but will try. On the front of the Photon at the top just above the "motorola" word there is a center speaker. On the right of the speaker is the led cirlce. But on the left of the "motorola" word there are two other openings.

Does anyone know what these are for? I am almost possitive that I saw one of them flash a red quickly but I don't know why or remember what I was doing in order to duplicate it.

I am just curious. On a side note...download "light flow" and you can control your led lights to alert you in different colors for different notifications.

Thanks..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
I believe you are talking about the light sensor and the proximity sensor. The one that detects how bright to keep the LCD and the one that detects whether to black the screen when you're in a call...
[Motorola Photon 4G] 21productionz:
One is a light sensor, and the other is a proximity sensor (tells the phone your cheek is close so it turns the screen off when you're on a phone call)

That's the proximity sensor, light sensors don't emit light. When it detects a reflection, it knows something is close to the phone such as a face or pocket.

Hi

I am experimenting with STOCK firmwares for my phone.

I rooted as per above and it went ok. I cant see a CWM icon anywhere to start the program. So I downloaded ROM manager from the Market that has an option

to reboot into recovery.

However when I do it something quickly tries to install then a green robot with a

big hazard triangle above his head appears.

If I press power then I can see clock work mod 4.0.0.2 (but should be 4.0.1.5?)

Then below E:failed to verify whole file sig

E: sig verification failed installation aborted?

Bit confused as to whats gone wrong here.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epicenter714:
Hello! I'm encountering a very serious problem and any help would be extremely appreciated. I had Bonsai4All on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S / Epic from Sprint) for months with no problems, til one day it randomly stopped booting and would just loop the Samsung logo or get stuck at the battery with the circle icon. Using the Clockwork Recovery menu I tried to re-flash the firmware but with the same results.. and now the 3 button download mode feature didn't work.

SO.. I got a USB JIG. That got me into Download Mode. Using Heimdall, I followed this guide (Simple Step By Step for ODIN/HEIMDALL recovery "HOW TO UNBRICK YOUR FASCINATE" ) to reflash my firmware with "CI500_VZW_EB01_FROYO_REL.tar.md5" which I now think may not have been the right file for this phone. After it uploaded all the data and said it was successful, the phone turned off. I expected it to restart, but it didn't. Just a black screen. I had it plugged into my PC via USB still. No LED to indicate it's charging, but that had happened before and it still was. Tried the power button, nothing.. unplugged it, took out the battery, put it back in, tried the JIG. Nothing--- stays at a black screen. Power button and various button combos have yielded nothing.

Does anyone know what the heck happened to my phone, and if there is anything I can do about it? I'm at the end of my rope here. I've heard of JTAG recovery, but I imagine that involves buying new tools, tearing the phone apart, voiding the warranty entirely, doing dangerous precision SMD soldering, and even then it probably isn't going to work..

Is there something else to try or should I just look into selling this to someone who can fix it, or for parts, and get a cheaper phone?

Thanks.
