[Motorola Droid Bionic] Enzopreme:
I simply couldnt stand how poor the picture quality was on my new bionic, so i started exploring ways to make them batter. And im happy to report, I did! I got an application from the market called camera zoom fx, and i promise you, the picture quality is like day and night, so it IS NOT, a hardware issue, its definitely a software issue. you can even change the location it saves the pics to so they save to the camera roll in your gallery just like the stock blur camera app, and you can set it as your default camera. below i have to example pictures i took under low lighting with the flash on. See for yourselves, but since this application has now been rought to everyones attention, i hope we dont have to hear about how ****ty our camera is in all the threads anymore... this is proof the camera isnt bad, the software it uses is... If you have any questions on how to setup the app or anything else, post here or PM me...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
A $5 fix ;)

But yes, this is a good app, and definitely proves that it isn't a hardware limitation.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jpeckinp:
Found it a little cheaper over on Mobility Market.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dxun:
I ponied up the 5 bux. Well worth it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scheatyj:
I like Camera 360 alot, its what I've been using to shoot.

I use the HDR(Heavy) feature alot, make stuff look, better. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
Is really worth I mean I found version 2.5 for free in internet and really not too good for the $5 but maybe im wrong since latest version is 3.1.4
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Killz86:
I found a 3.0.2v on the internet and it was not as good as the stock 1 on the bionic, it was infact worse, so for me i will be using the stock cam app from the bionic, but thanks for sharing
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kejar31:
I find that the AOSP camera takes pictures 150% better that the blur based one... this is why I am going to include that as the default camera app in Liberty
[Motorola Droid Bionic] admorris:
MIUI camera works quite well if you're rooted...very fast focus and great pics.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Enzopreme:
any ETA on liberty?? cant wait for it!! and to the users saying it isnt worth it, yet your using old versions.... HAS IT EVER OCCURED THAT THE REASON NEW VERSIONS ARE PUT OUT IS CAUSE THEYRE BETTER THEN THE OLD ONES??? IF YOU WANT THE NEW ONE BUT DONT WANNA PONY UP THE 5 BUCKS USE 4SHARD AND FIND THE RIGHT VERSION!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] okashira:
...But does the AOSP camera do 1080p video in H264 format like the stock one?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Enzopreme:
i dont know about aosp, but i know that i couldnt find any 3rd party camcorder apps, and the videos on the stock app look just as horrible as the pics when watching them on the phone, but when theyre hooked up to the tv via hdmi they look really great... audio is a lil too sensitive though, if theres a light breeze it sounds like your in the middle of a frickin tornado.. lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] quentin0:
That's kind of why I'm afraid of touching any camera but the blur one...because often times the camcorder doesn't make use of the noise canceling mics, doesn't do HD quality, and doesn't work with the FFC.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tct08:
So the camcorder doesn't work on this all, either? Wish I would have known this before the refund period ended :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
It works.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
With camera zoom fx I can't video record when I click video take me to the stock camera app
[Motorola Droid Bionic] abuttino:
Camera360 just blows this stock camera away.

I was in a dark room and got 100% focus on items that the stock camera couldn't and wouldn't touch.

Not very stable but I'd rather have great pictures instead of blurry **** quality. I don't have a doubt that the Bionic will gain some attention of the developer and they'll be able to fix the camera sometimes FC..

I spent the first two weeks on trying to get this camera to take a decent picture in low light and the results were never that great. Took one photo with Camera360 and it was a night and day difference.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Enzopreme:
thats cause its not a video recorder, its only a camera, so yes, when u click it, its gonna direct you to the stock app.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheBiles:
I purchased this a long time ago, and I'm glad that I'm finally using it.

That's ok since really stock video recorder os not too bad just want o know and make sure om doing right thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pyroelite:
You can change the audio for the stock camcorder to outdoor or concert... I know concert works great for me.

Only trouble was the constant refocusing when filming at a distance. Grabs great focus but then always wants to readjust.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
Great find!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lordandroid:
What's the name of the Camera App you found to be the fix? Sorry I didn't see it's name posted in the thread.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] steveninspokane:
I believe it is Camera360.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Droidmoder:
Meh I don't know why you guys complain. Bionic is a great phone. Its funny my 75 dollar 12 mp camera takes much better pics than my phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrevels:
Camera360 for me, works so much better than Bionic Stock. I just Ported the (AT&T ATRIX) Camera to see how that compares. **Crossing fingers**
[Motorola Droid Bionic] northend999:
Camera Zoom FX is the real deal

After seeing how poor the stock camera was, I was less than optimistic that an app from the market could fix its shortcomings. I have to say Camera Zoom FX is great on this phone. It's worth the $5 if you really need a better performing camera that we all got out of box.

Camera360 was a little flakey for me on the Bionic, but when it worked it did improve picture quality. Maybe I just needed to spend a little more time tweaking it.

Didn't try some of the other mentioned camera apps (such as HDR).

At this point, I'm happy and awaiting (hoping for) the November OTA to fix my other complaints with the phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lordandroid:
I took this today with Camera Zoom fx
[Motorola Droid Bionic] msnider73:
went and saw Foo Fighters last night - took about 40 pictures on the bionic and maybe 2 of them came out with any kind of quality - pretty poor performance motorola - going to try camera zoom fx!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Quality and speed of the camera are GREATLY improved in the new update. Night and day difference.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KilerG:
I didn't check the quality (or speed of focus) on the stock camera app on the .893 OTA before I installed TH3ORY v2.0, but I can say that him adding the Droid X camera really helped...it takes awesome pictures quickly (and video) and they look really good. I do have Camera Zoom FX, and I plan on continuing using it instead of the stock app, but for video, the Droid X camera app that TH3ORY is using is much improved.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AdamIsYou:
I've been using Vignette. Overall better performance, just like with Camera FX, but it has more features and is a little cheaper i believe. The video button still takes you to the stock app, but I've never had issues with video, just pictures.

Hi there,

Moved house and trying to use my phone until we get internet. I installed HTC Sync etc. and got it all set up, it connects but it has a "limited connection" with tethering and the wireless hotspot accepts the 1234567890 pin but doesn't work either.

Any help would be appreciated, im With Telstra (Australia) and used my previous phone (Nokia E71) to do the same thing and didn't have any trouble so i doubt it's the network.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
From your homescreen;

Menu/settings/Wireless&Networks/Mobile networks/Access Point Names

You should see the following three APNs;

Orange Internet

Consumer Broadband

Orange MMS

(that "consumer broadband" one is the one I don't remember seeing before, but I may have been blind. If you don't have it, go ahead and {assuming it's a clean factory-issue Orange Desire obviously} Unrevoke your Desire!)

Select Consumer Broadband (THAT's "CONSUMER BROADBAND" that needs to be Selected NOT the other two)

CHANGE the APN from "consumerbroadband" to "orangeinternet"

CHANGE the Username from <Not set> to "Orange"

CHANGE the password from <Not set> to "Multimedia"

and change authentication type to CHAP

Press your Menu button, tap "Save"

try it now:D

i didnt do anything and it seems to be now working! will post back if it plays up, thanks for your response!
[HTC Inspire 4G] keiichi0908:
I'm a complete n00b at rooting and hacking on Android and the HTC Inspire is the first Android phone I've ever had. I've searched the forum and tried loading PD98IMG.zip files, using the HBOOT recovery, but I'm still having a nasty problem with my Inspire 4G. I'd really like any help if I can get it - I think I've been sweating bullets for the last 2 hours...

Here's the rundown of what happened:

I rooted my Inspire 4G this morning using the Ace Hack Kit and everything was working fine until I tried CyanogenMod7. After that, I somehow managed to get it all working again, but didn't end up liking Cyanogen because various programs (such as Android Market) kept crashing. I switched to the TPC Inspire 4G ROM, and everything was peachy again. However, I wanted to try and get the completely stock version of the Inspire ROM, and loaded that onto the phone. I noticed that it was missing the ROMmanager, so I ran Ace Hack Kit again. This is where the huge problem happened. While reloading the older version of the ROM (I think it was doing the radio), everything went black on the phone screen, and stayed that way. The terminal screen (I'm running OS X) didn't show any progress, so I rebooted the phone. Now, the phone starts up with the white HTC screen, then fades to black and stays that way. You can tell the screen is on because the backlight is there, but otherwise, I'm stuck.

I'm currently trying to re-run the Ace Hack Kit, but the terminal says that the device is offline, then sits at < waiting for device >. I've tried re-flashing to the original HTC ROM from the website, but it doesn't detect that the device is even attached to the computer.

If you can help, that would be great! I've had this phone for 3 days, and I'm freaking out that I've just destroyed it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] keiichi0908:
Just an update - I tried a hard reset (power + vol up + vol down) and I get the green LED on, and the phone vibrates 3 times, then it sits there with the green LED indicator and nothing happening to the screen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Do a search for un-brick. I dont have an Inspire, but on my Infuse there are a few different ways to return to stock and also to un brick. And once you get it fixed calm down on all the rom switching maybe? I mean u said 3 days and you were flippin through em then attempted a stock rom then another Ace Hack. My advice is slow down, take a deep breath and read the forums. Do this before you make moves. Good luck buddy.

[HTC Inspire 4G] cire216:
Did you not backup, b4 you tried flashing another rom? If u did, just hold ur volume down button and hit ur power button... should go into bootloader (hboot). Once there select the recover option. If you havent backed up, I belive theres a recovery you can download. I just had that same problem while trying to get to hboot, was just a user error.... take ur time and dont worry, I dont belive ur fully bricked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Your mistake was trying to root again once you saw rom manager was missing. Rom manager is an app you can download from the market. Not every dev includes it in their roms. Go back to the hack kit thread, look in the op, and join his irc. He will help you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] keiichi0908:
Unfortunately, I did not do a backup - I'll try and look for another recovery ROM. Did you have any trouble with the HBOOT not finding the PD98DIAG.zip file? It seems like HBOOT is not seeing the PD98IMG file either... I have the PD98IMG zip file in the root directory of my SD card too.

Thanks for the support - I'll need it...
[HTC Inspire 4G] keiichi0908:
Thanks - I talked with attn1, who wrote the hack kit, and he walked me through the process. Basically, I had to get the stock version of the PD98IMG.zip, which he provided.

Then, I followed the following steps (all typing is in terminal (I'm on Mac OS X):

1. Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU

2. The Inspire 4G went to a black screen with a chrome HTC logo.

3. Type: fastboot erase cache

4. Once that completes (the message says: erasing 'cache'... OKAY), type: fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip

5. That command flashes the Inspire 4G with the stock ROM. The phone will display the chrome HTC logo and a progress bar. Once it completes IN THE TERMINAL with the status OKAY, then type: fastboot reboot

6. Voila! HTC Inspire 4G is back to working condition. This method returned the phone back to stock mode, which means if you want to install custom ROMs and such again, you'll need to root it. Make sure to set the USB debugging on, and Connect to PC to Charging Only.

Thanks, attn1! Hope this will help others who get into this problem case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] junto3:
Get the official ruu from htc. After that don't update and use simple root, this is better since if you brick it again you can go to fast boot and flash it back to inspire 4g rooted
[HTC Inspire 4G] junto3:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952224 the ruu is from this website and go on fastboot

I had the same exact problem the same exact way lol...Thanks i was starting to get worried
[HTC Inspire 4G] sloanster:
Go to th IRC forums an they can get you unjammed

[HTC Inspire 4G] tomburnes:
I had this same problem (goes black and vibrates 3 times- except with a orange blinking light) before.

To fix it:

1. Completely shut down, remove the battery, and put a timer on for 10 minutes

2. Remove your microSD card from your phone, and put it in a card adapter for your computer

3. Put a ROM installer .zip on your microSD.

4. After 10 minutes is up, put your microSD in your phone, and turn it on

5. Go into H-BOOT, and select boot to recovery

6. Install by selecting the .zip let it do its thing

Hope that helped!

I noticed that there would sometimes (50% chance) that there will be a noticeable 1 second delay when pushing the power button and when the display actually turns on. It's annoying because sometimes i'll want to check the time, and i'll push the button as i'm taking it out of my pocket only to be met with a black display still.

i tried turning off the pattern lock thinkng that was it but still having the same problem.

i'm completely stock.

Still thread ****ting on every topic about the delay?

Its obvious why the delay doesn't bother you; you already have too much time on your hands.

Otherwise, it's an obvious flaw in the phone. Why don't you let other people worry about their own lives and how many seconds are wasted.

yes its terrible anyone have a fix to this yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
If it's because of the SD card, trying increasing the SD Card Read Ahead Buffer. It can be built into the kernel or changed with a few market apps, or even a script. It'll also make photos/videos/anything from the SD card load faster.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
Aren't we touchy! As long as people keep making threads about it , yes I will still state my opinion on the matter just like you are...have a good day sir. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
Isn't this forum built for people who want to get the most of their devices? If everyone just decided things were 'good enough' you wouldn't have devs here writing custom kernels and ROMs. If the issue doesn't bother you then don't bother posting in the thread. And if you absolutely must, don't be a douche about it.

OT: I noticed it too. This is my first smartphone, but it stood out. I assumed it was normal. It's not huge, but I definitely wouldn't mind a fix that didn't require abandoning my SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Agreed, especially since it's a 32GB card and it's transferable between phones...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Screen lags reminds me of pre-pay gas purchases.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
This is your first smartphone and it stood out to you? I have had 15 smartphones and would have never noticed it until someone mentioned it. Like I said, I don't see this as an issue so I will speak my peace as you can to..we agree to disagree and just because we don't see it your way doesn't make us a douche....sorry for the loss of time in your life I'm...oh ****!...I missed the Andy Rooney farewell on 60 minutes because I couldn't get the time on my phone because it came up 2 seconds too late!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
It's not a HUGE issue, but it is something that should be fixed.

In fact, just to move things forward, I tried increasing the SD Read Ahead Buffer with an app "SD Card Booster" or some name like that, which doesn't decrease the speed of the screen coming on, but does drastically cause photos and other things to load faster when you, say, open the Gallery. That was expected though. We used to increase it on the OG Evo.

Ive owned a few smartphones noticed ET lag after 3rd wake up.

First thing I thought of was Sprint Blackberry curve 8330-M.

It did the same thing drove me crazy lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
I tell you what...take your phone back to Sprint and tell them you have a 2 second lag and see what they say...maybe you can get a new phone...its obviously a defect...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Its not hardware defect....its software related thus Sprint will push you out the door no new phone in hand with chuckles from rep.

Will update to fix issue come?

Never! so those that think samsung gives a care you better think twice.

Oh I forgot,

My HP Ipaq 6515 had wake up lag with SD card as well :(

Ive been waiting for stickman golf to come out on android forever, if you haven't played it check it out, great game.

Anyway, after I play it for a very short period of time it just closes back to the android home screen. It seems to be random when it does it. The only reason I could think that would cause it to do thus would be running out of memory, but that's just a guess.

Is anyone else having this issue?

What do you guys have your Brightness set to??? Mine is Half. Even tho i wanna make it Full brightness. But that may do something bad for the screen being that bright all the time. You think?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
The only thing it will effect is battery performance. I have mine set to about 75% as I don't like the auto brightness
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJR0D:
Yea..i was wondering how bad it would affect it. My battery lasts a long while. I should just test it.

Plus..my inner knowledge of this Tab isnt so good. Like..on a laptop..if you have the brightness jacked up to high..you could burn out your backlight. What will happen in terms of this GTab if you have it up to high?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
LED

The back light on the gTab display is LED vs the cfl backlight. LEDs should last longer than cfl and don't decrease light output with age as cfl tends to do.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJR0D:
Thanks alot for your help bro. So you think if i used it at full brightness...nothing bad really will happen? Cept maybe kill battery life. I have mine at 75% now like you. Should be good enough.
