If you buy a Sim card from Straight Talk, absolutely any phone is available, so that is just not true.

Straight talk uses either AT&T or T-mobile. Virgin mobile uses sprint. I sincerely doubt that Verizon is the only carrier who has any coverage in your area. Might want to check those coverage maps again.

Like I said, take 10 minutes out of your busy day and do some research. You'll save hundreds, if not thousands every year.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
If I did not use more than 2GB of data and I never did netflix/youtube, I would do straight talk.

I think most would save a lot of $, if they just did prepaid and would still get what they wanted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
People just hear "prepaid" and assume something is wrong with it.

"Prepaid is just a different way to pay for a service than postpaid." It's like buying a car vs leasing one. Leasing may be cheaper up front, but it costs you a LOT more in the long run.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sarceneaux:
Wow! I wish my 450 min plan was $40! Mine starts at $60! I have unlimited data because I had it before the switch unlimited txt mobile to mobile. The works but I get a 19% discount for working in agriculture. My bill is $82. How long do I have to be a vzw customer to get the long time discount? O and before my discount kicked in my bill was over $100 for just me on one line.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
That is absurd. $81 a month? For what? I use straight talk, an on att's network, don't have any contract, get unlimited everything, own my phone (and can change any time within second), and pay $45/month. Why would you want to pay more to get less?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
For the whole family of 4 the bill is 186$ a month on Verizon. :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
I'm letting all of my contracts expire. I've found that I can buy 2nd hand, like new, phones at or slightly above contract prices, usually with accessories, without signing a new contract. Every time I call Verizon they remind me I have an upgrade and I kindly reply "what's your upgrade to [device I'm currently using]?". I love it!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Everyone in the US needs to do this with Verizon. CDMA is a terrible service, as is having a contract. There are plenty of people who just assume you can't have good service without paying $100/month and being locked into a contract. There are times where you get what you pay for, but this is NOT one of them.

Also, does anyone else think forcing you to sign a legal contract when you buy a cell phone is pretty shady? People hear the word "contract" and think there is no way to get out of it. If they have to use a word associated with a legal binding to keep you using their service, that should be a sign that things aren't going to go well.

And for those who claim they have a contract for the good customer service, have you ever spoken with anyone from AT&T? Verizon's customer service pales in comparison to Virgin Mobile, and they don't make you sign your soul away when you buy a phone. I had a Moto Triumph through them I bought second hand and it broke after a few weeks. Called up Virgin and they sent me a brand new one, in box, at no cost to me after only having a plan with them for a short time. If you call Verizon and tell them you bricked your phone that you bought used, they'll laugh at you. So if you think the service is better, you're just flat out wrong.

I could rant and rave about this all day, but the bottom line is this: Until people stop throwing their money at Verizon and AT&T, prices will never drop.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Actually the service with Verizon blows away all other carriers in my location. I have 4G almost anywhere I go and only have one "dead zone" literally about the size of a street block that I can find (that's including commutes to work and even nationwide travel). That's a drop in a bucket compared to AT&T.

As far as replacements, I'd never try to return a device I bricked but I had a second hand Nexus that the speakers died on. Verizon deemed it to be a manufacturers defect and sent a like new, not refurbed, device in 2 days...no insurance required. I've got grandfathered unlimited data too. I can't afford to switch carriers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Actually, I got a brand new in box phone, not a like new or refurb. And do you know why you wouldn't try to return a bricked device you bought second hand? Because, like I said, Verizon would laugh at you.

How much data do you generally use a month? If you use 10 gigs, then I agree, stick with them. If you're using 4g to give internet to an entire office, then sure, it might be worth using, but is the difference in speed for personal use between 3g/HSPA+ and 4g LTE worth paying twice as much for? In my opinion, it isn't, but each to their own.

And it really doesn't matter what you're grandfathered into, if you can afford to pay +$100/month, you can afford to pay $45/month.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
I agree the price difference is huge. We pay about $175 for 2 smart phones and a dumb phone. And yes we do use 10 GB or close. I tether my laptop for work and we both tether our tablets (daughter watches a lot of Netflix).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
I think there's a market for Verizon. If you plan on tethering a lot and have a grandfathered unlimited data plan you are using to replace your dsl/cable bill with, completely understandable. Idk, just think it's tough to justify paying so much more, but again, just my opinion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
I've been debating creating a AT&T account with no texting, smallest minute package, and the $10 unlimited data plan (dumb phone) to mess around with. I recently unlocked a Verizon Droid 3 for AT&T for my little brother. He receives 3G unlimited on it. They've talked to AT&T and they said it was acceptable since the phone was a "compatible" device and he was previously on a dumb phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Don't, usually if you put a dumb phone plan on a smartphone, they'll automatically bump you up to the lowest smartphone plan, which will cost you your left nut. If you want AT&T service, get a straight talk sim and use whatever phone your heart desires. I haven't had mine for very long, but I've been shocked how good the service is for what you pay.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
I used 75GB on that plan with out issue.

Verizon hates my gut's, why this is why:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Haha that's awesome! I stand corrected, any carrier who doesn't kick you off after using 75GB in a month is awesome :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 4ktvs:
I know, I love this plan for my uses. My 50GB+ uses that is
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] origikid:
Hi, for starters i'd like to say the only reason i'm posting here is 'cause I can't post on Development, so my apologies in advance.

But the problem is: i'm using this rom "ROM MIRACLE Edition V2" but PLAY STORE won't download some apps, either from my phone or from pc, in fact pc isn't syncing apps acquired in google play.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Newmak:
I had that problem too.

I had that problem too. You should go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.

Then, go to "All" tab and find "Google Play Store" app. Press Force stop. Then, you should clear data and clear cache. Reboot your phone.

Open "Google Play Store" again, and finally the application should work normally.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] origikid:
thanks mate. but i actually made it around by installing the non-mod version of play store!
[LG Optimus 2x] Thief777:
This mod improves the video only recording or photo camera?
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Both, photo and video ( as you can see in the comparison ).

But for now, photo quality isnt much improved, just a bit.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppp0941:
Great work!

can I use it on cyanogenmod?
[LG Optimus 2x] nebregg:
Nice work dude! Will trying soon. Which version is the camera based? V20q? I hope so, then the auto-brightness least decent! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
Can you try to make this work with CM7? I guess this only works on stock rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] Marsou77:
Thank you!

But I prefer Flix's one because the camera save in .mp4 and no .3gp.

Sound is not in sync' in 1080p super fine and probably other... like in Flix's one :p

Im looking at the APK, i found few interesting things, but also i want to look at kernel level, but about that i dont have too much idea ( i dont know how to make a kernel ) someone can tell me where i can find a kernel developer

to help me with this?

All to increase the camera capabilityes.

And yes, its based on V20q.

Yes of course, but now only for stable 2.3.4 ROMS based on V20q

WOOO! i forget that! the mp4 output! damn! okay later i will check this okay?

Thanks mate, added to main post.
[LG Optimus 2x] jay_snake:
There's a developer here that ported the stock camera to CM7. Maybe you should ask him how he did that?

Si jeje, bueno ahora me compre un optimus 2X y voy a hacer todo lo que pueda para mejorar la camara como e realizado con otros dispositivos.

Im at college now haha, so then when im at home, im gonna try to find and enable mp4 output if not i can ask to somendaacart, he knows where is located.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I've MP4 output in my mod. It's very easy:

Open com/android/camera/mode/ModeBaseVideo.smali in decompiled Camera.apk

You'll find this line:

You just have to replace 3gp with mp4.;)

Best MicroSD

What's the best class for hd recording

thought of buying this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16GB-Memo...cherkarten&hash=item5d30ca37e2#ht_2133wt_1139

I read it has the fastest writing speeds.

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,review-32317-12.html
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
The -T version is ( trunk ) or "unstable" version, it has 40mbps but isnt guaranteed that will work on all phones.

you have a microSD class 10, thats fine.

overclocked kernel? and overclocked GPU&RAM&DSP?

With that it must record fine at 40mbps and 30fps , but as i said it before

every Optimus 2X is diferent ( mine worked fine at 1.4Ghz and rest overclocked )

But still not stable at all some random shutter when light changes, so if you dont wanna test, better use the E version istead of T.

Or just set 30mbps on bitrate or quality selector in fine, because the main diference on those two versions, are 40mbps and 30fps.
[LG Optimus 2x] davebyone:
i can see only 15mbps on video setting...how to activate 40mbps?
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Super Fine must be 40mbps, that is due some troubles "changing" the language ( some name editing ), 15mbps is for all versions, so thats why appaear on all languages, but the rest, only on english and spainish.

So Super fine on T version its 40mbps

Fine its 30mbps

and 15mbps.

In Super fine on E version its 30mbps

Fine its 20mbps

and rest its 15mbps

Excuse my bad english, im not too good explaining things.
[LG Optimus 2x] zerocoolriddler:
Nice would be recording with 240fps. Slowmotion Videos! :D

[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:

[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Isnt that crazy that 240FPS but i think only at QCIF or similar hahaha.

Im not sure, but maybe who knows.
[LG Optimus 2x] fuxmen:
It's amazing already what You do!! Just one question, camera saves photos like 2-3x slower than normal camera, then i cant shoot fast photos. Or is the way to awoid this?

Have class 10 sd card ~12 MB/s Speed
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Its due fully untouched compression, still remaining the chroma subsampling 2x2 that causes less details on conversion but still 0% compresed.

That can be due my modifications, not sure, the apk isnt zipaligned, maybe is due that hahaha.
[LG Optimus 2x] phihung07:
hi i have a question, i just start trying out CM7 temasek RC1-94 and after i install this, it crash everytime i tap on it, does it work with CM7 or it is only for stock rom only, thanks

isn't it weird that the video works great with a class 6 microsd while it stutters with a class 10?
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
Class 10 is overkill for our

phone I think.

Same counts for my Dropad tablet who like class6 better than class10
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Im thinking what i can do on cyanogenMOD... i was trying 20mbps, but it shutters to much... and above that, the video start to show some random lines... weird...

Try to format the micro SD class 10, remember, with loong use, charge and discharge the microSD will start loosing trasnfer speeds, read times...etc

That can be also.
[LG Optimus 2x] kickokim:
What about camera? Are you able to improve definition? That is the main issue for me:sly:
[LG Optimus 2x] ehmjay:
its not due to long usage coz i just bought it yesterday
[LG Optimus 2x] s3nr1:
What is the best Camera settings that can give me the best quality and also the audio is in sync?

720 Super Fine? 1080 is really out of sync,
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
The settings that is the best is the settings that leaves audio in sync :)

It all depends on rom/kernel and sdcard speed.

So there's no "best setting for all"

Imho the audio quality in this mod is best set to stock kbit or 92kbit to prevent the out of sync problem so video quality can be pushed to the phones limit.
[LG Optimus 2x] s3nr1:
Using DjangoM(1.3 beta6 + Spica SR3R3(or something ;p)) @1.2ghz. I got a Class10 Patriot mem card.

And umm, where do I set the sound quality. :p

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
You can not set it to lower quality , it is "set" in the apk by Erosized.

Ask Erosized to set sound to stock 64kbit or 96kbit (little better) for.better sync.

Greetz
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Not, i just i checked media profiles it has 10% compression, that can be reduced, and the rest, its due chroma subsampling 2x2...

I think the compression is being done at libraries ( not sure i really dont check it carefully ).

oh, sorry then, so maybe is your rom?

Sure, that is the main problem, it seems when you increase audo bitrate, the phone it overloads, and then starts the syncronization troubles, 64kbps its weird i know, but it sounds good for daily usage ( believe me, the microphone of this phone can be so much better ).

Thats right, i was trying 192kbps but it doesnt work good, audo sync problems, video shutters...etc

So for now only 64.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
you should make the sound recorder app record some high quality sound instead :) its pure rubbish now..
[LG Optimus 2x] kickokim:
Are you talking about cm7 camera or ported stock lg camera?
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Is there any way to make the autofocus focus much faster? I saw IPhone 4 camera focuses alot faster and can take multiple shots with shorter delays.
[LG Optimus 2x] kickokim:
Because the ported stock cam(like kostja's that can be found on temaseks thread) is a lot better than cm7 stock, better definition, frame rate, more mbps ect...

I tried this camera mod, it feels fast, although so far two things is bothering me.

First is the videocam sound (I know the dev forgot to remove it).

Second, I usually use vga quality to record video and send thru Whatsapp app, it has a 12mb file limit. With stock cam settings I can get more than 2minutes recording with vga normal settings but with this camera mod, I can only take for 10seconds on vga to hit the 12mb limit. :S is it possible to have different bitrate selection for different quality? (Vga/hd/fullhd etc). Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] MisterM3780:
Hi |ErosizeD|

still working on the mod? It's been a while since the deleting/muting of the videocam start and stop was forgotten.

And the naming of the videos still is MOD instead of MOV. Or is that wanted by you?

For the rest your mod is pretty good though. But as long as those little bugs/errors exist, I'll stay with Flix's cam mod.
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Hi, i have been offline for a while, i have a lot of work to do now ( im on the final lap! )

Yes, i misconfigured some settings, for vga, did you shoot on low quality? ( 10mbps it much appaear but for lower modes than D1 it doesnt work so it must be a lower bitrate )

Im really noob doing camera modifications haha ( maybe i must leave the default low medium and high? )

Yes, but as i said im get bussy all over this month.

About the name, that was a test, to ensure few changes i did to the apk just to figure if was done correctly.

About that, no problem im gonna fix those issues, thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Yeap.. I tried vga normal, bitrates too high.

I do prefer default bitrates for vga, the default vga@superfine is quite good enough for me I guess. Thanks.

Because as I remember, when you manually lover exposure by only 1 point picture

Yes, maybe flix123 and me we must work together.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
What do you mean? Do you want "real" mp4?

That would be a good idea.

This is my ToDo list:

- 1920x1080 recording

- maybe fix audio sync issue on high bitrates

- disable camera not starting on low battery

If we work together, we could make a perfect mod!:)

The only problem is that I don't know much about android programming (hopefully enough for this):D
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
About the 1080 what diference betwen 1088? ( only 8px )

I tested the bitrate, 128kbps is the maximum at 44.1Khz no troubles with that sync issue, but at 36mbps the phone slows down too much with that settings i think its due optimization, today im gonna try it at 1.2Ghz and overclocked /GPU/DSP/RAM, to see if with this there is any boost in performance, any way if the software isnt optimized is 100% normal that the phone cant handle too much overload.

About the battery i think i found the right value, late im gonna test it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
The speed issues are the reason why I used 17mbps as the limit.;)

Could you say, which values you found for the battery?
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
Follow mode ON :D
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
What? haha lol, well, there are many tricks :p

Im not sure if those values are right, first i want to check it.

Send me PM and talk on skype.

Lol what tha fack? If follow mode is ON right now, what happen when i show this to everybody?

Yea, wasnt stable ( im having some strange lines in screen sometimes ), but im having FPS past 30FPS ( 720P and lower modes, dont know but doesnt want to go up 30FPS, seems there is some limitation, im looking for it right now, this camera seems fully capable to do 60FPS , atleast at 720P or lower modes ), and average FPS its super stable, just need to check whats happening with the DSP.

Woo im so excited!
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
Thats why i am following this post....
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
and i thought that the fps limitation is hardware level o.O
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
Maybe, ( i said before, camera seems capable, but dont know about hardware or software )

i was trying to play 1080P @ 60FPS it plays like 15FPS ( 20mbps bitrate ) seems to be the DSP or the codecs, because it doesnt do HW acceleration. ( and doesnt care about CPU frequency )

But isnt the same for 720P @ 60FPS :D im trying to find the right model number from the camera, but my phone doesnt have logs!

Also will be great to find information about the DSP specs.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
There's something missing in your rom: You've 22kHz audio in your mod. For 44.1kHz change these lines in ModeVideoNormal.smali in line 168 and 229 (just in these 2 lines):

const/16 v2, 0x5622

to

const/16 v2, -0x53bc

I think it should make sound much better.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
yes i know, but first i wanna test higher bitrates, before start testing the sound quality, why do you want a ultra high sound quality with a ****ty video quality?
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
****ty?:D In my mod the quality is good enough for me.

If you want really good videos, take a camcorder.;)
[LG Optimus 2x] |ErosizeD|:
I dont want to discuss that... just im gonna say the following.

im not that rich to buy a 1080P average camcorder... so thats why im trying this... also for all those people like me, and also to make it a bit better.

If dont like what i'm planing or really dont wanna help, because you look like you dont need anything from me, then just continue with your version and fine...
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
I didn't say that I wouldn't like your mod (you misunderstood me). I think your mod is very good!

I just said you can't get a quality comparable to a good camcorder with the O2X cam.;)

We can work together to find a few new good implementations. I dont know everything about the camera. I just know the things I modded in my cam.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
Relax...
