But does this actually help or is this just a cosmetic change?
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
First be sure that is the prob

run logcat before pushing them to system

If it is a key issue it will spit things out like xxxxxx.apk key does not match shared uuid or something like that...
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Im not so sure quality changed but I DO like being able to change the "focus point " by moving the little box around the screen ...nice little feature ;)

Didn't stock camera app did it as well?

(I could SWEAR that it did it as well)..

Now, can you get the "Panorama shot" mode working?

It takes bunch of pics, takes a long time to "assemble" then, nothing (just goes back to camera mode and no pics anywhere.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
panoramic worked for me with bionic camera before, pic attached. but i will have to try it again
[Motorola Droid X2] hpark21:
You have made me want to try out something. and it worked.

I had to set the phone setting to be FULL 8MP instead of 6MP to fit screen in order for panoramic shot to work.

I wonder whether it is a camera bug or if it is "documented feature" for this version of camera app.

But thanks for letting me know that it works so that I look into it more.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I always take the 8mp setting over the worthless widescreen..

what's the point?

The camera is designed /able to take 8MP pictures...why not take advantage of it? I just don't see ANY reason to go lower/use wide...just how I feel about it ;)

Edit:: also...may've our stock X2 camera AUTOMATICALLY puts that setting for a panoramic picture whereas the bionic wont WHEN used.on our phone since the setup is different.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
I never changed from widescreen. panoramic picture came out fine. Bionic camera also goes into 8MP mode when panoramic mode is selected. (black bars show up on left and right while taking frames)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
:)

On eclipse tho...that camera has been made to work with the.phone via nitro....

Isn't the other guy stock? Just wondering that maybe something had been changed to specifically work with the x2 running eclipse...I should been more.specific ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] hpark21:
I do concur that happens (black bar either side). However, when taken while in widescreen mode checked, after taking pictures, it sits in "stitching images" or something like that for long time and then just goes right back to camera mode.

when I manually set it to 8mp mode, then there is hardly any wait for the stitched images to come back.

I am using the camera app that came with Eclipse 1.3 (I THINK it comes with bionic cam app).
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
U are CORRECT in ur thought I ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
I just want to know which version of Eclipse came with the camera that had the screen shutter setting.... I loved that!...
[Motorola Droid X2] milky7272:
So I installed and its great but my pictures will not show up in aosp gallery only blur. Any way around this?
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
I cant get the picture preview l thing to work. Whenever I click it its just hangs with my picture half loaded.

On Eclipse 1.2.

[General Questions and Answers] Azure1203:
I've searched all over the place for an actual comparison of cell phones and the antenna strength they have. Not how much reception they have, or if they lose signal depending on how you hold them, but how strong their internal antenna is.

Example, the Motorola Milestone, from what I understand has two antennas. Blackberry Torch has two as well. At least that is what I've picked up from bits and pieces around the internet. Not sure if accurate.

But, I know for a fact that the Motorola Milestone will have superior coverage compared to my Galaxy S Fascinate. At least -10dbm, and 5asu better. Which equals almost 2 bars. The Blackberry Torch as well. 3 bars better consistently. So, in this day and age of buying unlocked phones, surely there has to be a comparison somewhere to show which phones have stronger antennas, which ones have the two antennas, etc, etc.

And I just can't find it anywhere. Anyone have ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
Bravo!

That's a good wake up call

it's true a lot of people are forgetting the phone main function should be "to be a phone"

yet now in days when people talk or compare a phone, is more into competing power, and how entertaining it's

from personal experience i can say as a PHONE, the Moto Milestone XT720 has absolutely the best reception, vs Nexus S, I9000 and SGS2 i9100, HTC devices, etc

on 2nd place i'll put SGS2 T989 as good reception

3rd place goes for all the others phones

Few months later, and I still say the Motorola Milestone has the best reception I've ever seen.

Still looking for an answer to the original question though. Seems like no one has done any research on it and put together some information.
[General Questions and Answers] cpumaster:
Virtually the same....

Mobile customers planning to do a cell comparison of phone reception strength are pretty much wasting their time.

The majority of cell phones today are so well designed and competitive that they virtually all deliver the same level of service. Users may notice a difference between carriers due to cell site positioning compared to their homes or offices. The closer the cell site is, the better your phone reception is going to be regardless of which cell phone you utilize. Doing a cell comparison phone reception strength of carriers can be a good idea...
[General Questions and Answers] flyrocket:
Cause everyone just uses texts now-a-days rather than calling :p
[General Questions and Answers] Azure1203:
Yes, MOST cell phones are more or less the same within a general 'bar' or two. But there are a few that stand out, like the Motorola Milestone and the Blackberry Torch. I was just wondering if there are others that have similar exceptional antenna strength and reception.

[General Questions and Answers] greeky510:
The original Motorola Droid and my current Droid Razr Maxx have the best signal out of all the phones I've ever had. And I'm talking measuring the signal strength with programs not just by bars, as I found them to be inaccurate.

My HTC phones would have to be held a certain way or the signal strength would drop.
[General Questions and Answers] bamx2:

[General Questions and Answers] WozniaksOtherPhone:
If I remember right when the Galaxy Nexus came out people were showing horrible signal strength across the board. So Samsung issued a 'fix' that changed what was previously 2 bars or something to show as 4-5 bars.
[General Questions and Answers] Azure1203:
To bump this old thread again.

Consistently getting 2 bars would be fine. Probably good enough to call, and for sure good enough to text.

My problem is I get 1 bar maybe inside my home with the Galaxy S, while the Motorola Milestone gets 4 bars.

Is the Galaxy S2 better in terms of reception than the original Galaxy S? I want to upgrade phones anyways. It is a bigger phone than the original Galaxy S, so perhaps it has better reception.

Try switching modems for galaxy S, I get 1-2 bars using JVU modem and 2-4 bars using JW4.

Mostly all Hi-End Motorola phones have the best antennas but if your a modder, stay away
[General Questions and Answers] ChangefulFiber85:
I completely disagree, at least with all the Nokias I have used (post 2004). I have found every one of them to have extremely poor reception. They all seem to have trouble keeping latched onto the network; going in and out regularly.

The Sharp GX10 (2003) was awful for reception too, I found.

Whereas I have found the Panasonic GD52 (2000) to have really excellent signal, along with the Sony J-6 (2001).

I've always heard, though, that the older Nokias (pre 2000) and pretty much all Motorola phones have great radios and excellent signal.

My current phone, the Samaung Galaxy S2, has very good 2G coverage.. but since it is only my first 3G phone, I am not as familier with the properties of 3G signal to make a proper judgement, nor do I have experience with other phones to compare it to. I would say that you could quite often have 2 bars (~-104dBm [can't remember the exact number]) and not be able to use data; although that could well be down to the network as much as the phone.

Just my tuppenceworth!
[General Questions and Answers] chainsawk:
I have to agree that Motorola has better reception. My Droid Razr makes and receives calls in places that my evo 3d, nexus s, galaxy nexus, or my galaxy I9000 couldn't.

samwhst s poo

The Samsung is junk. Had 2. Didn't roam wifi right, could make calls, and bat none the worst communication device I've owned. Between it and a broken pager I would take the pager. And I am not joking. My razor 2 g was better.
[General Questions and Answers] redskinsjohn:
I found something out on this subject

Folks,

After doing some research online I found that Sprint offers a coverage map per device. This will help you figure out which phone would work best in your area or vacation spot on the same network. For instance say you were going to vacation to a cabin in Petersburg, WV. And you want to see which device works best in that neck of the woods. Visit the link below (I can't make the actual link because I am a newbie):

"coverage.sprint.com/IMPACT.jsp"

Type in the address "Petersburg, WV" and then select the device (one at a time) that you want to compare (you do this at the top right of the page "Get device-specific coverage" ). So for this test I used the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GS4) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The difference is huge. The Note 3 gets way better reception for some reason (possibly better antenna). The Note 3 appears to pick up "Off Network Roaming" where the GS4 doesn't. Then I tested the GS4 against the iPhone 4s and 5s. Both Apple phones get better reception then the GS4 due to the same addition of "Off Network Roaming".

Anyway... I hope I didn't make this article to long... but I wanted to pass this information on. There is indeed a difference between phones within the same carrier.
[General Questions and Answers] tecnonucleo:
It is true. All phone comparisons review display size, number of processors and speed, battery, etc. But I've never seen the reception as an additional variable. And it's important not only to make calls, but to stay connected to Internet too.
[General Questions and Answers] bigmuddaddy:
antenna strength

I don't understand why we are debating providers and 3g vs 4g, It is best reception by device. I stand in my living room with verizon galaxy s3 and can not make contact with a tower to even initiate a call. My wife chose the Motorola Droid Max and sits next to me talking like she is on the land line. The motorola antenna is superior. Same share plan. Same 3g or 4 g service. I have to go outside in the top of 2 story play house to make a call and even then it may drop.

There is a definate difference. I have noticed motorola difference from other phones for years now.
[General Questions and Answers] LuckyBBB:
Same situation here.. My gf and I have the same service provider I get no signal at all in the house with my S3 but she can call and text without any issue with her samsung galaxy nexus.
[General Questions and Answers] laptop_from_1992:
Sort by FCC measured SAR

SAR is a radiation measurement the FCC does (or, rather, forces the manufacturer to do) to determine a dB level and W/kg (watts/kg, some type of density) to the body and to the head. As a general (but not always) rule, the higher the number, the better your signal / reception / perception will be that the signal quality is good. The phones people are mentioning in this post almost all have high SAR levels (>1.1), and the Droid MILESTONE / Droid OG has an impressive

Head: 1.49 W/kg

Measured in: 1900 MHz

Body: 1.38 W/kg

Measured in: 1900 MHz

I couldn't really find any phones besides the Motorola Rival that has those types of numbers for both head and body. Nokia 6215i, a very solid phone, has 1.25 W/kg (Head) and its cousin Nokia 6315i has more to the head at 1.37 W/kg. All the phones mentioned are good candidates. The FCC limits to 2W/kg so all the manufacturers are limited and those higher power phones I feel will perform equally excellent. If you think older 1995-2003 phones might be better, it seems like they are all middle of the ball part for output.....and if the frequencies on the very old phones are not at least common ones like 800 Mhz, 850 Mhz, 1900 Mhz....then your phone's ability to get a old compatible cell tower is jepardized. Stick with this forums suggestions and I think you'll have a great signal experience :good:

This link sorts of SAR, for all currently available Verizon phones (no discontinued ones)...notice all the motorolas and blackberries at tops (page 3 /last page is highest SAR) and Samsungs at the way bottom .....first ones on page 1. Check out here:

[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
It is well known that the Fascinate forums have been quiet. Many people have moved on to different phones and forums. In fact, it seemed like the Fascinate forums would wither away.

Then something changed. Enyo came to these forums and reinvigorated them and brought them back to their former glory. Gone were the days of few posts and nothing interesting. Good times were back again. ROMS were released. Lulz were had.

Then the dark clouds of oppression began to gather once more. Forum users complained that other users complained too much. People began to fail to see humor in life and started reporting Enyo's threads. The threads that have given us so much joy and are quite frankly one of the few reasons many of us even come to xda any more have been closed.

So, should xda continue to close Enyo's threads?

Then again maybe enyo is a know dev that created another account to mess with us abit...you guys got me thinking now. who is enyo actually...the unsolved mysteries of xda lol.
[Fascinate General] skynet11:

[Fascinate General] Bigredcat:
Enyo is a great developer of roms. What else would 25/16 of Fascinate users use? I look forward to his webOS ROM.
[Fascinate General] Chef_Tony:
all i can say at this point is that i only closed one of enyo's threads and it was not for my own opinion or any user reports, but enyo himself requested the closing. as the op of that specific thread he was entitled to that, just like any noobs that posts a [Q] thread can demand to have it closed or deleted once they have the answers they wanted or for whatever other reason there might be.

Also, as stated on another thread before, personally, i don't mind a little off-topic posting, fun and general discussion. after all, no tv and no beer make homer something something...

however, one must not forget that xda-dev has 4 million users, one million threads and the reputation of being THE smartphone community, THE go-to forum for news, apps, tweaks, roms and hacks and that is something that should be kept that way. new users should not get the impression that all this is, is flaming, trolling and memes. there are other places on the internet for that. just look at what happened to the comments on engadget, or engadget altogether.

so, to a certain point, you can keep having fun, but before you post, please think about the big picture, whether your post is really necessary and what would happen, if everybody here posted like that and useful information would be buried under tons of crap, what happens to users that need actual help with their semi-broken devices and all they find is lulz.

So, to get back to the question at hand:

- i believe that any thread starter should be entitled to decide, whether or not his/her thread should be closed

- if there are too many reports by other users about a thread getting out of hand, it should not be closed, but the reported posts should be deleted and the users should eventually be infracted. in general, if it was not the op, that was reported, he/she should not suffer for having their thread hijacked

- this thread, as well as the other poll will neither be closed nor deleted YET, as you are free to discuss issues like this, but once these polls had a run of a week or two, there should be enough results in on how the community feels, and i will follow the results. if this turns out to be another troll thread, it will be closed /deleted before that.

[Fascinate General] joshkoss:
I agree with you man... specially the last part that i bolded and underlined...

but it turns out most/all of these threads turn into people trolling or flaming. it is really really starting to get out of hand and i am getting tired of deleting posts by the tens. and then coming back to the same thread 2 hours later to clean out more junk posts....

regarding ENYO's threads. Him and i have traded pm's and we have agreed to leave the threads closed until he can post some evidence or links regarding his work. If i just reopen them, you trolls and flamers are just gonna start up again, so his threads remain closed until then.

@blobloblaw1 I don't appreciate you opening threads regarding this topic. i know you can discuss this and you aren't breaking any rules but i think you know this is just gonna start more flaming and ultimatly end up in a flame war.
[Fascinate General] bobloblaw1:
I'd prefer to have the conversation and hope that we are all mature enough to handle it rather than stifle discussion because we fear that something annoying might happen. Regardless, discussion on the issue will happen and if that discussion isn't here, it's going to spill over into the ROM threads. Off topic chatter in ROM threads is infinitely more annoying in most people's opinions.

I guess the news that has come out is that the threads were only closed due to OP (Enyo) asking them to be closed. So anyway, this is more of a non-happening than it seemed.
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
fwiw, (and this is just me talking out loud about my own preferences) hype threads shouldnt be allowed or be limited or something

the vast majority of trolling/flaming results from them

i consider myself a legit developer (although xda doesnt seem to want to recognize me as such currently but w/e) and at best ill occasionally put sneak peak pics/coming soon stuff in existing rom threads that i alread maintain....i dont start 5 bazillion threads with ridiculous claims like 243/79ths of the community use my teams work, or just hype up roms that may or may not see the light of day
