[LG Optimus 2x] McGiverGim:
The camera of the 2x is one of the worst cameras in a smartphone. I have other 3 smartphones and all of them are better.

regards!
[LG Optimus 2x] BurningKoala:
O_O they say that is better than the GS2 one >_<
[LG Optimus 2x] S0ci0:
Would be nice if youd mention those other smartphones.

Ot: personally i think the camera quality is pretty damn decent :), alot better than my gf's iphone 4 imo
[LG Optimus 2x] Johann2000:
Well, it IS better than the iPhone 4.. i mean, without the backcover, i just makes some very nive pictures.. and it can shoot 1080p vids ;D
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
With enough lighting, they are pretty close in term of quality. But in low light, the iPhone 4 is noticably better. It clearly fares better than the o2x.
[LG Optimus 2x] Floating Point:
No, it's not. Maybe yours is faulty?

When I bought my O2x I had the option to choose between SGSII, O2x and one HTC something, I compared the photos on the reviews and O2x was the second best (the first was SGSII), but when I went shopping the Samsung was hefty overpriced, like 150 EUR more than the O2x and I ended buying the LG.

The camera is nice, but of course, you can't expect a Nikon or Canon DSLR quality from such small sensor.
[LG Optimus 2x] ThePigletWhisperer:
Personally i dont like the o2x's camera. And my mates SGS2 is way better IMO.

The thing about reviews online, is that they rarely test the device's camera in low light conditions. And there is where a good camera sensor shines. And frankly, the o2x, in low light conditions is quite bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] Pakserrion:
i think it's good with a good illumination but when the sun go down the camera works bad..
[LG Optimus 2x] Grisly1:
Indeed, the camera in low light, or night setting is awful, in software.

The preview is fine, then one takes the photo, and the image is frozen,

and then the image processing kicks in, and most of the detail is lost,

with just a few bright dots, and over-saturated lighting now remaining!

The over-saturated lighting is also a problem with daytime lighting too.

This is in such stark contrast to my previous Nokia E90. On that, I was

able to take a photo in apparent darkness, the frozen image would be

almost black, then the image processing brought out excellent detail,

sometimes more than I could see with a naked eye. Truly remarkable!

Since the problem is software, as far as I see it, there could be a fix.

[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
The camera is decent for a smartphone. There is very few smartphones with better cameras. One is the Samsung Galaxy SII, which in general is a better phone, but also more expensive and I like the O2X's look better.

The camera takes very nice pictures in snapshot mode. When taking pictures in bad lighting condition, it still outdoes many other cameras in snapshot mode but for good pictures you should use Night mode or manually alter the ISO value.

The LG camera App has many settings that can be altered.

The Pictures show more detail than the ones taken with an iPhone 4. The iP4 has hardly any settings and uses automatic enhancement software like HDR or enhance. With the O2X and an app like camera360 the HDR looks better then on an iP4 and you can adjust the level of photo enhancement.

However, the pretty good LG camera software does not work with CM7.1. So if you plan to flash CM on your phone, you have to bear with a very basic camera software which I reckon is the reason for some people in this thread calling the O2X camera "bad".
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Yeap, I agree with mike, and it is even better if you use a modified/patched stock LG camera such as by AndiCP which gives better picture and especially video because of the increased bitrate.

Overall, its a decent camera, abit on the downside when it comes to low light conditions, some say the back cover if taken off gives a more better picture, but hey.. this is the cheapest dualcore phone with 8mp and full HD recording you can get.. can't really complain.

Cheers! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] xalix:
That's for sure :)

From 1.to10.

Daylight - 7.5

Lowlight ( without flash ! ) - 4

For me Carl Zeiss makes best sensors for mobile cameras `for now` ... e.g. N8...

and yes , N95 8gb makes better pictures than most newest android phones ....
[LG Optimus 2x] parthabhatta:
Has anybody seen this thread. Mindblowing that O2X camera can shoot these pics. Appears too good to be true. Credit to "mimstyle", the shooter for talking such brilliant photos with O2X.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Hi all.

Last night I accidentally discovered the burnt pixels on my one year old Focus screen :( The sights of high contrasts Metro-style icons (such as IE, phone and marketplace) are visible on the white background as a darker "shadows" (actual color is like a light-light yellow, close to white). These "shadows" are visible on the white background in the dark only.

It's not a big deal but I'm kinda disappointed :(

So, my conclusions are:

- high contrasts Metro-style tiles on the home screen are evil, at least for AMOLED screens. However live tiles (probably) can solve the issue (he-he, just thought - may be it's a real reason why MS implemented and pushing live tiles? Kidding :) );

- periodical changing of tile location on the home screen also can help;

- using AMOLED handsets for development is not so good. The best practice is to keep AMOLED screens off all the time (what is not acceptable for development).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tempest790:
My Focus is one year old, but I don't have any burn in problems some reported. Granted, I don't leave my phone screen on for extended periods, but my live tile arrangement really never changed.

Now that I have the HTC Titan, I have no regrets with the SLCD screen. The colors seem more natural to me. While AMOLED screens certainly have a "pop" factor, it's not a must-have for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
This is a well known issue that you have to live with: AMOLED will get screen burn-in if it is use for an extend period of time.

I know most of the Android Galaxy phones also have screen burn-in especially on the status bar.

My own Samsung Focus developed screen burn-in (esp. Metro buttons) after only three months of use.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
How about Super AMOLED screens, is problem still persists?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
I notice things on my Omnia 7. Normally if i've had a menu open for a minute or more and i switch to a black background i can see a kind of greyish imprint of the last displayed icons.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
SAMOLED has it as well. I'm sure it was a big issue in the focus forums last year
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
The biggest disadvantage of an amoled screen is when you move to another type of screen, and notice just how gray blacks can be. Using my old focus and having the blacks blend with the bezel was so visually pleasing, and the colors had so much pop. I hear that the colors aren't as accurate, but what does that mean really? 90% of what I look at on a phone is arbitrary colors anyway; how would I ever know that the blue tiles are really supposed to be one shade vs. another, and why would I care?

(btw yes, I had the same screen burn-in problem on my focus)
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
Yeah i had a major burn in problem with my Omnia 7, I think it was something to do with the bright blue theme i used, i have pictures here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973337
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
use a screen saver?

Oh ya.. nevermind
[Windows Phone 7 General] renatofontes:
Wow... I had no idea of this...

I have a Galaxy S I9000 (as well as an LG Quantum) and luckily it hasn't burnt in...

Is this a really wide spread problem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
Try to look at your screen in darkness (set white background on the fullscreen first), then say "luckily" :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The problem is particularly bad on Super AMOLED screens.

Super AMOLED is still AMOLED.

My Vibrant, if I turn my screen on to the home screen and let it sit there for 10 seconds and then open another app, I can see the shadows on the home screen superimposed onto the app that's running. It's very noticeable, and gets irksome after a while. You won't see that on LCD screens.

The status bar is burnt in, which is noticeable when the phone is used in landscape mode because you can always see that faint strip where the status bar is (in portrait) on the side of the screen.

I set my screen timeout to 30 seconds to "preserve" the screen.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

All of Samsung's displays have this issue. Perhaps you just haven't noticed it, or are just fortunate :)

Not really widespread, and not really a "problem" per se. Just a component of the screen tech. It burns in and shadows easily.

However they have better power management than LCD screens and better brightness, viewing angles, and outdoor visibility - as well as better color saturation and reproduction. For example, I increase my Vibrant's stock battery life by like 4+ hours doing absolutely nothing but putting a true black background on the launcher...

It's a trade-off. It's worth it for someone like you who doesn't notice it, though. It's worth it even for some people who do. It really depends on how long you keep your phone, Lol. If you upgrade yearly it's not that big a deal. I can't see myself going 2 years with the Vibrant as my primary device and dealing with it, though. It's too startling to look at at times, especially after you spend a significant amount of time in one app with static UI elements and move to something else...
[Windows Phone 7 General] BiG K:
If you look at the AMOLED technology, it's understandable really. All the colours displayed on the screen are composed of green, red and blue sub-pixels.

In an AMOLED screen, there is no backlighting. The sub-pixels themselves generate the visible light, hence why the blacks are so black, because the black pixels are not powered on. (Think of an AMOLED screen as having thousands of tiny tiny LED's)

However the problem with AMOLED is the manufacturers could not produce a specific chemical compound for each colour that would wear evenly. For example, the blue sub pixel has a shorter lifespan than the green. When the AMOLED sub-pixels gets used, the intensity of light produced decreases, hence there is uneven wear. The pentile arrangement was to actually arrange the pixels in a way, which as the display wears, the colours look normal. When there are static pixels displayed, a certain portion of sub pixels gets used more than others, hence why you can notice it.

In an LCD, each sub-pixel is a polarizing filter, which filters out either red/blue/green and displays it or blocks it, so an LCD doesn't suffer from screen burn in as much as AMOLED and PLASMA displays.

From day one I have only ever used my phone on the lowest setting and I have alternated every few days from red/green tiles. I have never used blue due to the low lifespan of blues!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
I don't think it's a huge problem if you are smart. I made the mistake of leaving my screen on as often as possible when I first got my focus. Once I started noticing the burn in, I moved my tiles around, put my screen on 2 minute timeout, and didn't notice any more of the burn in. Just the original images.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bobzero:
As Big K mentions, blue pixels are the quickest to degrade, that is why you never use a blue theme with an AMOLED display. Also, displaying white actually activates some blue pixels and draws more power, so the black system theme should always be used over white.

Every AMOLED owner should know these 2 things and it is a shame that Samsung and the carriers don't do a better job of informing their customers of these simple facts.

I cringe every time I see an AMOLED phone with a white background and blue theme.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PoisonWolf:
This is why I still stick to Super LCD. :D

I saw an S2 get a burn in within 2 months of use. Lawl.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasongw:
The solution is ridiculously obvious: turn off your screen when you're done using the phone. Duh. That's obvious from a simple battery life perspective.

Of course, I see people *constantly* who just set their phones down with the screen on and walk away. Idiots.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The solution is not ridiculously obvious because other screen types do not suffer from thsi issue, therefor the user who moves from an LCD screen to an AMOLED has absolutely no clue that this screen type has these deficiencies. They simply assume their screen will always look the way it does as long as they take care of their phone.

That is not a bad assumption. It just doesn't jive with this display tech.

I love the deep blacks and color saturation on Samsung's AMOLED screens, but I don't think I can ever convince myself to get another one.

The issue isn't just keeping the screen on. I've always used a 30 second screen time-out on all my phones, so they aren't just sitting there a ton with an image on them. Even when you have something on the screen for like 10 seconds and move to another app you can see the image shadows on the screen. Yes, it gets pretty noticeable after a while to the point where it's constantly drawing your attention.

It's actually worse than the PenTile they use in the 1st gen SAMOLED screens, TBH.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeremyshaw:
1st gen? It's being used in the Galaxy Nexus, too :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] otherworld:
It's a really useful point to raise, and something to think about for people using their phones for development. Automatic screen time-outs can be an annoyance when you're testing features (against a real device), and wanting to stay connected (in visual studio) to the phone for debugging info and deployment. I know I have my current phone on most of the day to test tile and page updates etc. so there's bound to be large areas of the screen remaining static for long periods of time.

It's made me think twice about getting a Lumia (which I assume would be prone too) for this reason :confused:

I'm surprised manufactures don't include info on it bundled with the phones (e.g. on not having a white background) - that's pretty irresponsible.

If i was to root my 3D using the HTC dev tool, is there a way to Unroot it and have s-on again?
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
You dont get S-off if you use htc method. you unlokck the bootloader and it remains s-on.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
Ur phone will forever tell the tails that it was unlocked atleast until seven make something
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
Run the RUU for 2.08.651.3, then relock the bootloader

fastboot oem lock
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
To clarify the terminology.

Currently, only revolutionary will mark the bootloader as "s-off" and their exploits only work on Hboot 1.3 and 1.4 (along with the same respective system software versions).

Using the HTC method which will only work on hboot 1.5, the bootloader will show *UNLOCKED* at the top. After undoing the HTC unlock method, the bootloader will show *RELOCKED* at the top.

There is no "s-off" for hboot 1.5 and no way to prevent the *RELOCKED* from appearing when the HTC unlock method is turned off.

Hope that helps clarify!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S2User:
Hi,

I bought a Galaxy S2 I9100G (chinese version) while in China.

I am now in Israel.

I would like to change the phone's default 'country code' from China to Israel,

meaning - all phones calling from Israel should not show the '+972' prefix in the beginning.

In addition, I would like to change the way phone numbers are presented.

Meaning - instead of showing '031-234567' I would like to show '03-1234567'.

How do I do this ?

(I have managed to root the phone).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssnalagu:
before doing it please backup your data

1. Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad. (where Device IMEI in your device IMEI number)

2. Select the CSC that you want.

I have been through three separate Galaxy Nexus handsets and they all had issues.. mainly screen related!

1st handset - got it on launch day UK.. vertical grey lines on screen and volume bug.. exchanged it..

2nd handset - last week.. horizontal grey lines on screen and paint like blobs all over the screen in lower brightness levels.. exchanged it..

3rd handset - today.. horizontal white band across screen.. and vertical colour gradient down the screen.. returned!

I really like ICS and wanted to like the Galaxy Nexus.. I am really disapointed to have waited months for this phone to be let down by poor quality control.. :confused:

there is known issue with the display when its on low brightness. it goes away when its at high brightness.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
It's hard to say w/o actually seeing them, but the "vertical grey lines" may have been perfectly normal. From what I've read, there's some level of streaking that normally occurs in these types of displays. On mine, when I have the brightness all the way down and am on a white screen, you can see something that might be described as "vertical grey lines."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fr4c:
A lot of Nexus Galaxy's I've seen have this screen anomaly, which is the vertical streak(s) going down the phone. This is only on white/gray backgrounds, as the screen is absolutely fine with other colors. The issue can be resolved by turning off the automatic brightness and manually adjusting the screen to at and/or above 30% brightness. Or you can flash one of the auto-brightness mods to turn up the default brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HideYoKids:
My gray lines are horizontal and quite clear on a lighter grey screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randypurcz:
You shouldn't have to do anything to get a perfect screen on a phone that costs this much.

From what I understand, it's an inherent characteristic of the type of display. If it bothers someone that much, buy a phone w/ a different display.
