[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
The default jpeg quality is optimized for size rather than quality. That makes post-editing difficult. I have got the jpeg quality figured it out. You can do so editing the /etc/media_profiles.xml and a reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dutch_papi:
Hey Crazy, could you please post sample pics of the default quality and quality after you've edited the media_profiles.xml file? Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
im with you on that
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
No. It does change the jpeg quality for the HTCCamera. I can confirm it with the bigger picture file size and the decompiled apk. The first camcorder profile is the back camera and the 2nd is the front one. The 3 ImageCoder tags in each profile correspond to the android api http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/CameraProfile.html. They go Super,Fine, and Normal. HTCCamera default is using "super".
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
if you post pictures comparing them side by side i would do this haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-.../AAAAAAAACD8/mr5Ey2Fx1SY/s2048/12%20-%201.jpg

This is the after edit picture using the WIND Mobile version of HTCCamera.apk. You will notice the ISO number range is different from the TMobile one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] darkphantom:
where is the before?
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
This has already been around for a long time! NRG's ROM has the tweaks built in. I've been using a mod similar to this since the Amaze first came out. It does increase the size of the file and gives the best quality but you have to remember you are still using an image sensor slightly bigger than a pin head. LOL. You can't expect to get fantastic quality out of a cell phone camera! That said, this phone does have a very good camera....for a cell phone!
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
nrg has this mod in his roms? ooooo
[HTC Amaze 4G] brooklynite:
I wish someone could change the HTC Camera's stupid file number/naming system back to smarter stock android with date and I think location or something in the file name.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
so i just replace /etc/media_profiles.xml and reboot and its done, and is the difference noticeable?
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
Like I said, I found it a must if I edit the photo in Photoshop or in lightroom. Each time you resave a jpg file some percentage of details will be gone. I very often need to correct Whitehalance in the picture.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
maybe the way you edit your photos.. ive never had an issue with quality loss. ill mess with this sometime though
[HTC Amaze 4G] elkin205:
DONT MESS WITH IT. IT SOFT BRICKED MY PHONE:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
Sorry to say. It has nothing to do with the modification mentioned here. That is your own fault.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dadogintown:
question

hey all..this is a bit off the jpeg thread but related to the cam, does anyone else's cam look super crisp on the screen but the snapshot taken is considerably darker??

i tried all modes and the result is the same, no option to brightness either?? is it a rom thing?? using 4 bar sense faux kernel
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Not mine. The shots look the same! I use NRG's ROM and stock kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
Because HTC camera set the brightness to max. Set your default screen brightness to max if you want to match it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dadogintown:
Thanks a bunch I had dimmed the screen brightness to save power and followed your advise..makes alot of difference...
[HTC Amaze 4G] crazypotato:
I have modded the HTCCamera.apk to not going with MAX Brightness when running. You will need root and know how to uninstall the stock one in your rom to install it. PM me if anyone needs it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
cool mod! cant wait to use it once i get this phone. :D thankyou!

From Cnet news,

SGSIII: 1.5ghz quad core exynos, 1080p 4.8" 16:9 screen, ICS, 8MP cam, LTE, ceramic body

Cnet article
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
wow i want it so baddddddd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randomnameftw:
Jaw dropping specs. Hopefully the report is accurate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AstroDigital:
Read comments says 1080p is overkill on a smart phone display.

Well duh, can they not picture people attaching their smartphones to a HD TV or projector?

I think I am just sticking with Google devices from now on, if Samsung makes it or HTC (rumor). I am sick of the slow upgrade cycle; on ICS has been out almost 4 months..... way too slow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] degeneration:
How would they manage that kind of ppi?

That's like 459ppi. Galaxy Nexus is like 316ppi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Frogacuda:
Being able to output 1080p via hdmi and actually having a 1080p screen are two different things. I do think that sort of pixel density is overkill and serves only to overwork the gpu.

I also think I prefer 16:10 to 16:9.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Engadget is a bit better, and they posted an article with the same specs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] degeneration:
"a bit" is both right and ambiguous. They repost articles from sites that repost articles from other sites. At least they usually point out things that sound too good to be true.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/10/details-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-leak-out-1-8ghz-dual-core-c/

Only mentions that it will be a Super AMOLED Plus HD display, which makes me think (meaning I am just making a random guess) it's a nonpentile display like the Nexus, and so it would be 720, which is still awesome. I wouldn't mind being wrong, but it just seems like we would have heard about a break through in OLED tech before the specs were released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
I heard google isnt going to be updating like usual anymore. Like their releasing their next updates to more phones rather than their nexus line. I mean this for next gen though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] M0D1441:
All i need in a galaxy s 3:

-Quad Core Exynos @ 1.5GHz (LTE CAPABLE DAMMIT)

-1280x720 Super AMOLED Plus HD @ 1.65"

-Sexy Body < 9mm Thin

-2000mAh+ Battery

-LTE

-ICS

-8MP Camera (although 12 would be nice, but an improved 8MP is all i need)

That's pretty much it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
Sounds amazing. I think Qualcomm has a lot of LTE licensing control in the US. Don't be surprised at the last minute the 1.5 ghz Quad Exynos is replaced by 1.7ghz Quad Snapdragon that runs 1/2 the speed.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

I think my Skyrocket is good enough to keep me happy for 18 more months. And at that time, imagine what amazing tech we'll be able to get when it'll be time to renew.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
I meant to say betanews, as that's where I read the article from, but it seems he too is quoting bgr, which, as u said is about as reliable as the national inquirer. If indeed these specs r tru that would be great, but on further investigation the exynos Chooser was only just recently been demoed to the public, let alone shipped with any Samsung devices, As the s3 has been in Dev for awhile, I'm more skeptical now. I honestly think it will still be a dual core exynos. U could always jump ship and get an HTC One X :-P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Completely agree. That sounds like my perfect phone. God I love LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
I'm assuming you meant 4.65"

And can I get a f'ing hardware keyboard phone with top of the line specs..preferably with 5 rows but I'll take 4 just to get the keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
That thing had better haves nice battery, dual core phones already have some battery woes..quad core is just ridiculous to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
<Rant> I would sell my skyrocket in a heartbeat for a phone that was even 80% as good but with a physical keyboard. Don't get me wrong, I luv my skyrocket, but texting and emails on ANY touchscreen is still cumbersome at best. Touchscreen intuitive with added keyboard is still the way to go in my opinion. This isn't a niche market, if a respectable manufacturer came out with something recent, people would flock to it as a viable alternative to crapberrys </Rant>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
this is THE device that i am waiting on......the note will hold me over till the SGSIII is dropped. and i WILL be getting it. im hoping that they can keep the exynos though, but for some reason i doubt it.

either way it should be a beast of a device for the end users. im hoping by years end this device will be available to us.

keeps fingers crossed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I wanna see how the Exynos matches the krait quad core before wasting more money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XAviierG:
Specs are amazing but I'm gonna stick to Nexus phones from now on :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
If it is anything like dual Exynos 1.4 vs dual Snapdragon 1.5, then Exynos will destroy the Snapdragon. Exynos will snap that lizard's tail off and chuck it off a cliff. Just my prediction based off of my experience with APQ8060.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wirelessFREAK:
It's odd that not one post discusses the one odd feature

Let me tell you a story,

Once apon a time, not so long ago, there was an evil company, let's call it grape. Grape had a plan to make a phone that looked better than any other phone in the world. It wanted to do so with total disregard to what aaaall it's wizards (engineers) said. The wizards said that people's hands could conduct electricity, and that putting the magic wand (antenna) on the exterior of grape's new phone would cause problems. Grape's warlock, Steve the jobsient, did what he wanted, and released the phone with a exterior wand. The people of amerconia lined up to get this new creation of grape. Soon the villagers could not keep their calls magically connected. They went to the village square (the press) and the king's court (you know this one) and shouted "off with this phone!". Steve the jobsient gave them a rubber wristband to silence their cries, and later told the King he would give them 15 gold pieces for every phone they had.

Thank you for reading my story. Good night

The story is to remind you of the antennagate scandal. Also to prove that I have more time than storytelling skills.

The moral of the story: just like hands can short antennas, ceramics do not dissipate heat.

My opinion

Samsung is wiser than grape. It's wizards have more say in how the magical products are created, so ceramics will be banished from them

My son's line comes due for an upgrade on 4/2/2012 (and with how bad he's been this year - fights/breaking windows) he's not getting an upgrade so Dad is going to take it and I'll sell my SR and hopefully make a nice little profit off the endeavor
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
The S3 was a half assed attempt at a dual core, QC even said it wasn't their favorite.

The Krait tech is as fast as the Cortex A15 tech, and unless the Exynos Quad is A15 (which I doubt), the Krait Quad Core would rip the Exynos Quad Core a new one.

The MSM8960 rips the Tegra 3 a new one, CPU and GPU wise, so Samsung better have something good up their sleeves, because it looks as if Qualcomm is actually trying now.

Also, with the LTE modem integrated into the SoC, that makes the MSM8960 amazingly efficient at battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] colonel187:
I read that lte version will not be quad core
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wirelessFREAK:
I like my story so much, I've gone back 3 times, just to read it. I guess I may not have been clear enough in my story

So...

Once apon another time,

j/k.

Really please take the ceramic parts out of your heads, cause that's the only place they will ever be

The quad core I like, but fear. Battery life sucks as is, what about when we have half the battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NativeTxn:
I wouldn't be shocked. Can you imagine the battery drain with both quad core and LTE eating away at a battery with mAh levels similar to the batteries that they sticking in most of these phones nowadays?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ozark_8125:
Hell - I'm confused.... again.... is the SIIHD = SIII ??? How many freaking dangling models are they going to hold out there at once??

Is there anyway I can get the stock, vanilla Gingerbread camera app and install it? Does anyone have it? Not a fan of the current one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jsjames:
Just an FYI, I received my Cocoon Grid-It Wrap 10 CPG36GY today. I have the prime and keyboard and the fit is really tight. I can get the keyboard combo in the wrap, but it a little snug pulling out.

When i put the tablet alone inside, it fits, but the width of the wrap could be increased about 1/4" or more to make it fit better. I feel like I have to squeeze the tablet more than I would like to pull it out though, since it's really stuck in there.

I really like the features it brings though. I may keep it anyway.

Hello

my tablet P7300 is coming from Poland and the last OTA upgrade was P7300XWKK4.

I'm currently running this version.

I saw an EU version which is P7300XWKL4 from sammobile.

how can i install this version ?

The zip file has 2 files :

P7300XWKL4_P7300XXKJ6_P7300XEUKL1_HOME.tar.md5

SS_DL.dll

Do i have to use odin to do it and how ?

My tab is only rooted and is running the stock recovery

In short, I don't know but I doubt you can. Laptops rarely have video input capabilities by default. You can, of course use a USB micro to HDMI cable to output to a TV.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
not a beer, but after this j i shall try!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yoursexyhero:
You guys are awesome....I've been looking for this all day..... a reason to drink beer tonight ^_^ oh and a possible gps solution without opening my TFP
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Does yours maintain GPS lock while moving at highways speeds?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] h0l:
I'll test that. Drink beer and going high speed on the autobahn :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dingdonggggg:
YEP

Perfect turn by turn navigation.

On the highway about 10 locks and in urban area a minimum of 6 locks.

And all the time average 14 sats in sight.

I have not tried it yet in an area with very tall buildings.

I think the highest buildings during my tests were 6 floors.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
If this can be independently verified (and sounds like it can be), then someone could definitely make a little money with this. Not enough to retire on, but a little spending money.

A question: could this be made into something that could clip onto the Prime and so be easily added/removed? While I wouldn't tape anything to my Prime, I'd clip something on it if I were to want GPS to work (which I don't actually, but being speculative here).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dingdonggggg:
Yes can be done.

I have been trying some solutions myself.

But the positioning turned out to be a critical factor.

Had to work that out first.

Wanted to share those results first.

But some sort of minimized and customisable clip on device would be nice.

Either pimped or just simple
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I'm thinking you could use a simple clip like we use at home for potato chip bags. Line the inside of one part of the clip with the require metal, add in the wire, and then you could simply clip it on when you need GPS. Those clips aren't particularly strong, either, so no worries about damaging the Prime.

I might give this a shot myself this week, if I get some time.

The 12 Steps to ruin.... and a Hangover

My attempt (not really but could be fun)

1. Drink one can, cut open and place on screen.

Tape was too old. Can kept falling off.

2. Get another can and drink then place on screen again.

New tape stayed on but can didn't work.

3. Get yet another beer. Had a brainstorm idea to try doing the same for Wifi... got another beer.

Drank beers, needed a pee. Wife threw out the empties.

4. Got another two beers. Rang friend to ask if he had a beeter metal cutter....

5. Got two more beers then forgot what I was doing.

6. Glot two more bbers. Needed another pee.... Came back stood on berr cans. They were hiding on the floor.

7. Grot a new crate of beers in from the sheller hic! Drunk clan cut finger with can opener. Oh Eck...

8. Opened nudder bleer. Got drill out and dilled lotsh of oles on can.

Bol*x.... need a pee.

9. Sloped can wid whisky bottle... Poored whiskey on wire... Sh1t.. where da fcuk did wire come ffrommm???

10. Passt hammmmer to schreen. Bloke grass an spong at glue.

I actually just got 18 ft in my brother's front yard :D Same place I kept getting nada for a couple weeks. No mods, but not stable either. Soon I'll have external antenna and be done with it :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rmsingh:
Buxtahuda,

So what antenna will you be using?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PolishPoet:
Looks like it close to the location for the Easy Wifi Improvement Mod only with the added wire.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I think that's the point.

Kill the primary WiFi (if that's what it does... and I think it does) with the aluminum, then use the wire as a conductor for the GPS signal, just kind of funneling it to the right area for the internal antenna to get a concentrated blast. Per RF theory I've seen around here, the signal then doesn't need a hard line to the antenna, it'll travel that little gap from covered wire to antenna easily.
