[Desire General] bw7and:
can i get 720p recording at 30fps on desire

i m tired of this **** never gives above 10-15 fps

in day time in bright light it might give 20-24fps....but still audio is out of sync and **** like tht

i know desire reduces frame rate to prevent picture from turning grainyin low light especially at night.

even under bright tubelights i get 10fps nothing more than that.

also light constantly keeps on flickering...the light sensors further reduce the frame rate

bad thing is that even after 1.5 yrs after the release of desire....HTC didnt do anything to fix this in the gingerbread

i have tried stuff like setting ISO to 800 and increasing exposure levels to increase fps but still its not good enough

some of th expert developers out here have been able to do the impossible and bring stuff on the desire which is unbelievable...

but i seem to find no one who has been able to fix the camera on desire...

plz guys look into this....

can the camera app be tweaked to make it record at constant 30fps...

can the variable fps be fixed .

i dont care if quality drops or not....coz who cares if u get quality which is not watching

i dont mind grainy images but i want 30fps....can the developers do some tweaking/??coz i know the hardware is there to handle
[Desire General] andQlimax:
do this:

-change the desire camera with a better one

-change the desire gpu with a better one

-write the correct drivers and kernel to handle the news parts

and thats it...

or just keep in mind this phone is not capable to make great hd video. :)
[Desire General] bw7and:
so u say its a hardware problem????

also is the hardware on other HTC phones like sensation and desire S the same???

I heard these phones also suffer from same bad fps in low light problem
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Desire S - has Newer SoC, Single 1Ghz CPU, but Adreno 205 GPU - it makes very good 720p videos, but with lower FPS (but not below 23 in low light) - My roommate has it and it is miles better, than my Desire.

The Sensation has even newer SoC - Dual-core 1.2 GHz and Adreno 220 GPU - I tested my collegues device, and it had no struggles even with 1080p in low light.
[Desire General] :
that you have an hardware problem is my opinion, too
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Like everyone with this device.
[Desire General] bw7and:
so is it worth upgrading???

i am looking forward to HTC amaze...

I hope it doesnt suffer from lower fps problem

(also fps not lower than 23fps in low light does not sound bad)

now i am confused whether I should go for droid RAZR,galaxy S2 or galaxy nexus...

i liked HTC for HTC sense...now with all these devices receiving Ice cream sandwich....

i am thinking UI will be same for all....so confused
[Desire General] mihai.onu94:
You can try the recording on cyanogenmod 7. I think the 720p framerate is a bit better.
[Vibrant General] se7en10:

I have a Vibrant and a Samsung 7" wifi only Tab. I like it but I wish it was a little more powerful in terms of CPU and GPU. I use it when I travel in place of a laptop. It is fine for RDP and note taking. I use it at home to surf the web or check Twitter or G+ while I am watching TV.

I like the 7" size for typing better than the larger tablets. It is light and the screen is decent too. The wifi version of the Tab isn't as powerful as the GSM versions and it doesn't play some games so well. The CPU (and FroYo) seems to lag at times if you are heavily using it. Before I buy another tablet I am going to wait to see what Microsoft sells next year for Win8 tablets. I think they might be more useful to me.
[Vibrant General] Blown 89:
I have a touchpad. After using it for a few months I can't imagine not having it.

Pros:

Battery life

Portability

Readability (the ability to hold it wherever you want makes it easier to read than a laptop)

Cons:

The need to pair a physical keyboard for type heavy tasks.

Doesn't replace a laptop

Cost ($250 is my limit before the cost surpasses the benefits)
[Vibrant General] darksandz93:
Touchpad

Pros: awesome battery life, love the screen size for videos n stuff, pretty zippy even with webOS (Cant imagine how much faster it'll be with android on it)

Got it for $150 during the firesale

Cons:

webOS is pretty buggy

Flash doesn't work with my math homework so its pretty much useless at school

Really don't like the plastic build
[Vibrant General] HaloMediaz:
I have a sony tablet s.

Pros: very responsive touchscreen, playstation certified, great remote that comes preinstalled

Cons: buffers every 10 seconds on youtube videos, no root (yet), not much market support for tablet,
[Vibrant General] Tweak222:
I'm looking into getting one of those cheaper generic tabs like the Novo7 or something. I want it to play around with games and play with sketchbook :) maybe a little video and such.

Seems like a good deal since you can find them from $100-$200 and anywhere between 7"-10.1" As long as you do some thorough research.

[Vibrant General] smitha22:
I have an Asus Transformer.

Pros:

- Plug in keyboard makes it into a little laptop

- Keyboard has extra battery expanding battery life 2x at least.

- Battery life is awesome

- 10.1" screen is nice and big.

Cons:

- Stupid shiny glass is dirty before you've even touched it.

- Short (very short) cord with proprietary plug is a pain. Basically means you can't use it when plugged in. But you can juggle just charging the keyboard, as the keyboard charges the tablet when you plug it in. sounds weird, but works fine.

I'm very, very happy with it. I barely use my laptop anymore. And use my phone 50% less I'd say, as the tablet is always on and ready to go.

I have a Moto Xoom ...and love it

Pros

Great for watching movies while traveling

fantastic battery life

Portability..It has almost replaced my laptop

Cons

Lack of tablet optimized apps...although situation seems to be improving

I have a HP touchpad running CM7 and its actually really nice. For being in alpha stage its already better than webos. Coincidentally I have one for sale unopened 16gb for $200 shipped. It was for my sons birthday but did not want it.
[Vibrant General] robertd0619:
Asus transformer here. No dock but works for me. Battery is great last me a couple days. I love it. Need to get a screen protector though, a lot of glare.
[Vibrant General] Oxirane:
I've got an Iconia a500, running the latest of the Thor Roms. Battery and speed are amazing, and it's way lighter than my laptop.

Tablets aren't laptop replacements (I mean, unless you don't type long messages/use your laptop for work/need the fine accuracy of a mouse- clicking the 'x' on sidereel ads is impossible on tablets!), but for light web browsing, pdf viewing, facebooking, gaming, netflix and a lot more they're ideal.

Also, the Iconia charges FAST. Like, scary fast.

And lastly, my phone sees far less usage for non-phone things these days.
[Vibrant General] mrsbelpit:
I've got the GT 10.1 and I love it. Beautiful screen, no lag, and the touchwiz skin is actually useful and stabilizing. I use my Vibrant as a phone and wifi hotspot now. The only other tablet I considered was the Transformer, but it was basically sold out when I was ready to buy. I am glad that it was, because the GT 10.1 is so sleek and nice.
[Vibrant General] archie53:
I have a Touchpad with CM7, and it works rather well. Don't end up using the phone much when home anymore go for the tab first. Also my laptop is getting a lot less use.
[Vibrant General] joe98200:
If you use tablets in class to annotate lecture pdfs, it's great. I can't imagine going back to taking notes on paper now. I use an iPad 2 with a Wacom stylus. Whether or not you need a tablet will depend on what you do every day.
[Vibrant General] mrrobc97:
I got a Toshiba Thrive and yes I know its the fattest one out there but I love the fattness cuz you get a good grip on it plus I got full size usb, full size HDMI and a full size SD card port with a 64 gb card in it plus its the only one out there that you can replace the battery yourself by popping off the back cover so you could have a extra battery for those long trips....and its rooted.:-)

[Vibrant General] Trivial651:
I have an Acer Iconia 32 gig running the latest Thor rim and love it. It's small enough to take to class with me and not take up too much space in class, but has a large enough screen size to make watching movies or games nice.

For on the go editing, I use smart Keyboard which is very responsive when typing, and for heavier tasks, I attach a keyboard, mouse and 500 gig hard drive through a usb hub. The soft keyboard disappears when a keyboard is attached and provides full screen editing.

This setup wouldn't completely replace either a home computer or laptop, but for a small, lightweight travel package that I can play games, surf and work on, it simply can't be beat.

I have a vibrant using ICS and i just got a Nook tablet. (i know laugh all you want) But its for the wife.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
Ok so I am reviving this thread a bit b/c I am about to come into a fair amount of cash and my wife said that I can get whatever tablet that I want. Great!!! Only I have no idea what I should get. Price is no concern but I do have some questions.

1. What is the best out now? (Really. What is it? Not the one you have but the one you want and why.) What is the G-Nex of tablets? I already know that Sammy's are getting ICS in Q1 of 2012 which leads me to my next question.

2. Why do I see so many people with CM7 on their tabs as opposed to 3.0? Why would you go from 3.0 back to 2.3? The most interaction I have had with Honeycomb is trying to crack the lock code at my local Target that some teenager put on it. Other than that, the only tablet experience I have had is with an IPad and trying to explore all the reasons I hate Apple products.

3. How easy are they to root? Exploits are exploits but from what i have seen there are conflicting ways to do this on tablets.

4. I am leaning towards Sammy 10.1 (for support/ updates/...) or the Thrive (because it has an external battery, full HDMI/USB and an SDcard slot). I am a media whore and will fill it up with movies and music (some games but mainly movies so 16gb is not really enough for me)

Thanks to all
[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:
Asus Transformer PRIME is the best tablet available in my opinion.

Nvidia Tegra 3 - Quad Core.

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/11/asus-transformer-prime-review/

I warn you, Don't get the thrive.

Also, you see people with and HP Touchpad with CM7 On it, Because the HP Touchpad does not come with Android on it. It uses Web OS. CM7 has been ported onto it.

The Nook Tablets don't have Honeycomb either, So thats why you see people with CM7 on those.
[Vibrant General] bobshute:
No laughing. I have a Nook Color and it's great. Normally run CM7 on it but I have been testing an alpha version of CM9 ICS. It's sweet, still buggy but sweet.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Not meant to hijack this thread about tablets, but for the money and utility why wouldn't get a laptop, something like below which can do a lot more things? I know tablets have GPS, but then no data connection to use it. And they have camera but do u seriously go around taking pics with a big tablet in public.

[Vibrant General] renardk764:
Vibrant and Touchpad
[Vibrant General] bobshute:
Bunch of reasons to have both. With a 7in tablet it fits in the back pocket of my Levis. So much easier to carry around. I also use it a an eReader nightly in bed. Great for watching netflix in bed. Laptops are too heavy. Great for watching videos on a plane. My tablet always has a data connection when I need it, it's my Vibrant's Mobile AP.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
The Prime is a monster. Holy Moly!!!

Nook is a good option considering how cost effective they are.

Not a hijack at all. I just bought a laptop a few weeks ago bc my old as sin PC crapped out on me. I dont really care about the camera function on a tablet but the visual is a funny thought. Some Guy holding his 10inch tablet up to get a picture of his gf standing in front of some statue.

Former Vibrant owner (GS2 a couple days ago) and a wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1. Sold my cr-48 for it and get way more use out of it then the chromebook.

[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:
Yes it is.

If you are looking for something more affordable, my android tablet search led me to the original Asus Transformer.

Its equipped with a Nividia tegra 2 dual core processor.. and 1gb of ram. Its very easy to root now ( and flash custom roms) and is a very quick and snappy multimedia monster. Also, Asus has confirmed it will be getting the ICS update.

Also you can purchase the optional keyboard dock, just like the Prime. It turns it into a net book, and doubles the battery life. Which is already RIDICULOUS without the dock.

I invite you to check out the xda Asus Eee pad transformer forums. The general section is full of threads about what tablet should be purchased that you might find helpful in your tablet finding quest.

Has anyone installed the amaze camera app on there tmo gs2. I tried but it said on recovery that it was only for pyramid device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
Why would want to install that on your sgs2? The camera and camera app on our phones is awesome! You just need to know how to tweak the settings for each picture you take.

If you really want that app try this: return your sgs2 and get an amaze instead.

Respectfully

disagree . Amaze camera is better than my nikon camera . And I NEVER touched settings . Left it in auto and it was perfect picture every time . SGS2 camera has lot of "noise" and 8MP is not wide it's like 4:3 . You want 16:9 shot you have to change to 6MP. :( . Very disappointed with camera , but I don't know if its software or hardware that makes it so bad but in my opinion it is bad . But PHONE it's F*ing billion times better than amaze . Amaze was getting hot in my hand when using and battery was going FAST . I agree we need that amaze app camera on SGS2 . Matteo don't say "return" when you are near SGS2 . It's gonna hear you !!! :p ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wingmann:
If I might ask for your advice - what would the best settings be for good pictures? It seems to me that when I leave the camera in the settings it defaults to (what it came from the store set at), my pictures are not as sharp as I think they should be? I know its a matter of opinion, but to me, it's almost like its not focusing "all the way"? I hope this makes sense? Anyway, any suggestions on settings for general pictures?? Thank you all in advance!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] budalica:
camera

the thing is the damn thing takes picture right before focuses all the way . I downloaded app called vignette ( or something ) . It's better than stock camera but still ....

If anybody is interested I have original HTC camera apk from amaze and I have it decompressed in folder but I don't know what to do with it . :o:rolleyes::p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hunterjay7:
Agreed. Amaze camera can take multiple clearer photos faster, BUT Tmo Gs2 cold boots Camera faster. So if you're in a hurry to get a photo of some freak on the bus the GS2 will get the job done faster ;)

(hilarious sig by the way, people say im borderline crazy sorta kinda)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis206:
The miui camera is pretty damn good. It's not the amaze camera, but it's better than our stock. It's in this section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Blue1k:
+ 1 for this. I posted a link already for the miui amaze camera apk which already works on our phone. Tested last night in low light vs the stock app and it confirms how crappy the stock app really is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audscott:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fcpelayo:
It will take the pic faster but pic would be worthless. blurry crappy taken picture and honestly its not that much speed difference in cold boot. the amaze takes way better pictures with out going into setting and adjusting. I have both gs2 and amaze. Camera goes to the amaze.

check your PM. I'm too much of a noob to know forum rules.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
Its not the camera app that makes the amaze take better pics. Its the actual lens on the phone...it has a focal aperture of f2.4...this allows more light to pass thru its sensor.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
That is the only thing the amaze has going for it. I think something is wrong with htc quality control check. Because every new phone released has the same problems. The past phones had.

That's usually the case with everyone tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Actionx1:
Is that so? I haven't actually tested the camera on the Amaze. Do you think its better that. The SG2?

I had the Amaze camera apk on my sensation 4G and the pictures improved dramatically. It was all just software base. I'd love to see the amaze camera apk ported over to my SG2

I thought the HTC Amaze was made to combat the iPhone 4S's new camera.

Apple introduced the 4S, saying it had the best camera ever mounted to a phone.

Then HTC came forth with the Amaze, saying it had the best camera ever mounted on a phone.

-shrugs-

I also thought the Amaze was designed specifically to be a camera-phone--hence the AMAZEing camera.

I dunno....

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bleedblack:
Hi guys,

I have a Desire Z which came with 2.1 and Vodafone firmware.

I have updated the ROM today to unbranded 2.2.1 (1.72).

I am under the impression 2.3 has already been rolled out to Desire Zs, but my phone will not detect any updates.

Is there a manual way to update, or a place to download an official 2.3 RUU?

(I can't tell if any of the RUUs in the section are 2.3?)

Or am I going to have to root and install a mod?
