[HTC Desire S] trumpetmichel:
Thank you for the tip.

In fact you can´t see a change in the status bar and I think it doesn´t really work on my phone.

;)
[HTC Desire S] trumpetmichel:
The tip with the dialler type *#*#4636#*#* works very good. But you have to type it in the dialler for each switch between the network modi.

Is it possible to write or create a widget that opens the same menue with one click?

That would make it much easier to swich to the prefered network mode.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Until someone implements this into a custom ROM, there is no way. However you don't necessarily have to type that into the dialler every time, as after the first time you use it you should see the "phone info" app in the recently used list by holding down the home key. So you can get there quicker.
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
BlindIce v2 has this option in it. It just doesn't have the notification bar toggle, but that isn't really a big deal, as long as you have the main option in Settings. :)
[HTC Desire S] trumpetmichel:
Thank you both for the latest posts.

The tip with the resent app list works very well and is absolute usefull.

The BlindIce v3 rom looks also very good. I will give it a try on next weekend.

Are there any known bugs with this rom?? There isn't a bug list in the thread.
[HTC Desire S] miz_pimp:
I'm not sure BlindIce v3 has that option; I never used it. I went from v2 to v4.1, but v4.1 doesn't have the network option.

[HTC Desire S] trumpetmichel:
I used the dialler method for some days now and it is a very good alternative.

In the appearing menue you can also get some more information about your phone (your usage, battery etc.). But be careful if you decide to do some changes in the alignments.
[HTC Desire S] trumpetmichel:
I use the BlindIce v5 now since last Saturday. It is a very nice rom with two launchers and lots of possibilities to design your phone.

But like all the others ics roms it has only the option "only 2g" in the network menu.

So I have to do the dialler method furthermore.
[HTC Desire S] tieff:
you can try blindICE v5.5... it has continuous improvements and it works good, I recomande it:D
[HTC One X] mrhahn98:
I'm a Sensation XL user and when i switch to the One X, i expect a similar image quality if not better than the XL, i was wrong.

The only thing that amazed me is how fast the camera is.

Other than that:

-The main camera captured detail that looks very very messy, bad white balance and VERY bad compression. I tried every setting possible, set sharpness from 0 to -2 , still missing alot of details and compare to the XL's camera, also this camera has alot of noise even at ISO 100 and full bright area.

-The front camera is something that pissed me off the most, it looked very nice on screen but the actual captured image looks like it's from a 0.3 megapixel camera. I think this is mostly a problem with the compression of the front camera.

-Also another thing, why cant i turn auto focus off ??? what if i wanted to focus manualy. I was very proud of HTC since the early day because they allow us to do tons of stuff like turning off auto focus

-The camera have amazing auto focus at mid-long range but piss poor at macro shots, even at bright day light.

-The video captured from the One X is very bad, also because of compression

I love this phone to death, i love the design, the screen...etc, i dont mind all the bugs and stuff but i'm very mad at these camera issues, since they use it as a selling point of the phone and i'm a heavy camera user.

Your thoughts ?
[HTC One X] vincepg13:
Simply put: my camera's awesome. Sorry to hear your having issues. There's a thread where people are posting pictures...there's some amazing pictures in there. Head over there to compare your pics, maybe there's something wrong with your camera
[HTC One X] danielj58:
There's a "fix" in the development section for camera compression, as far as noise goes, that might be an issue with your unit, it's not bad on mine. That said, it is noiser than most good camera phones I've used, but I'm holding out for an update to resolve that.
[HTC One X] det66:
I'm more than happy with mine
[HTC One X] fcng:
mrhahn98,

Its a start for HTC. Previous attempts by HTC for taking photos was an epic fail. This is the right direction HTC is heading with the photo imaging...hope the future OTAs will correct it. I hope you are not comparing to a DSLR imaging quality or even an good P&S.
[HTC One X] jonrwg:
I'm happy with mine too. Way better than GNote. Mind to post some pics up for us to have a look?
[HTC One X] samuelong87:
i have read very different user opinions of the camera. I must agree that firstly, the focusing still has some issues (macro and touch-to-focus) and noise is still very evident. Its almost as bad as my Sensation XE so i kinda found the upgrade to be rather disappointing. But cons aside, the camera speed is really a winning edge for a mobile device.

If you tried using other camera apps (e.g camera360) to take photos, you might find that they can look really good so i believe that the camera hardware has potential.

Im hoping that HTC will, most importantly, show strong support for the One series and continue to tweak Sense 4 with updates. It does feel that way for now and I pray Im not just mistaking their immense marketing for real committed support.

Yes, im glad too that HTC is pushing for camera and music functionalities as their main selling point. Its one of the top few things on my list for a phone. Android itself pretty much brings the manufacturers to a level OS platform. Its all about differentiating now!
[HTC One X] mrhahn98:
Hi, no i'm not comparing it to p/s or DSLR but to older phones which have the f2.2 lens like the Sensation XL and Amaze 4G.

I understand that most people come by this phone will be happy, it's a very good shooter i agree, but the quality is not as good as the XL and Amaze 4G.

I'll try to check out the mods and see if anything changes

p.s: Also the minimal focus distance for older phones, are like 5cm, One X have a very long minimal focus distance , like 10-15cm which result in less interesting Macro shots despite its awesome f2.0 camera :(
[HTC One X] Meltus:
The One X camera can take some fantastic photo's (terrible videos though).

Here's one I took the other day; not the best photo ever taken but it's not bad :)

http://postimage.org/image/blnl4yapr/full/
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
I think the camera sw is just underdeveloped just like the rest of the phone, probably because HTC was rushing to get their product out, but I DO believe there will be updates with hopefully better camera softwares.

But my camera works fine, I feel you need to 'get to know it abit', it has a so many features and stuff and most people are used to having the camera just do things for them (as should be but to a certain extent) but if you play around and learn the settings and stuff you will be able to take some awesome images.

Cheers
[HTC One X] diggedy:
your right about the noise but I think the rest is up to par compared to other phones ive used.
[HTC One X] katamari201:
The camera on an HTC phone still sucks. The best they've gotten was the Sensation XE/Titan and Amaze 4G, but they ahd their drawbacks and the video was horrible no matter what. Considering I'm in no hurry to get the One X and am waiting for it to hit stateside, hopefully with many of its issues fixed, I can also look forward to the Galaxy S3. At least for that phone I am guaranteed good imaging and video, even if they re-use last year's tech. The HTC selling point is the build quality. The rumored ceramic body for the S3 sounds makes it more interesting.

Didn't HTC learn anything from their previous phones, and especially the LG G2x, the first dual-core phone rushed to market? How about instead of rushing things, they took their own advice, which they have been spouting in their tech interviews, to release higher quality phones and take their time?
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
The One X camera is the best point and click going, there is nothing else quite like it. You would need to actually own the phone day to day to realise how much easier and fluent it is.
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
I agree its a very good camera, but I also can understand why the people that say it sux say so, there is alot of room for improvement.

But definitaly this one of the most impressive cameras on a phone in terms of functions, but the results need to be improved alot, the 1080p recording should NEVER drop to below 24fps if you ask me and also the images could be better without having to change to specific settings, and some 'big' issues are the frequent blurry images and also the flash doesn't seem to sync with the focus moment of the camera which in result causes sometimes the images to be blurry.

But most of the time you get good images and sometimes you get those GREAT images and then you know you made a good choice :)
[HTC One X] ajftl:
I have the xl and u must have a bad x. Definitely the x takes much better pics than the xl. I have both
[HTC One X] mrhahn98:
I'm not saying the camera SUCK, because alot of people will be happy with their purchase, coming from other phones or such.

I'm saying camera's "quality" SUCK compare to OLDER phones from HTC like the Sensation XL and the Amaze 4G

And if this is software only then i hope that HTC will fix it in time as someone said the firmware of it is still very new.

I have both too , and i have my friend's One X too to compare between 2 OneX, i dont think it's "Bad" camera since i've never heard of it, it's just not as good in the details as the XL
[HTC One X] scott.eden:
Had this phone for a week now,coming from my samsung galaxy S2

the camera quality is superb, alot better then my SG2 and that took superb pictures..

My mates XL Pictures are no where near as good as mine, He's amazed how clear the HOX pictures are..

Think you might have some issues with your camera.

Very Low light Con: First Night pic

[HTC One X] treebill:
Agreed something is wrong with it, I must say after 50% zoom the image does get degraded but I can almost defiantly say its software related.
[HTC One X] mrhahn98:
it always looks very nice at that level of crop, i have no complain about that, can u give me 100% crop ? i dont believe i have problem with both my HOX and my friend's

ya i know that thread weeks ago, and even at full bright light the camera sensor still give us that "noise/fuzzy" effect at 100% crop, almost like coming from an iphone. You owned the HOX , you know what i mean. I'm not here to brag about this because i hate the HOX or anything, i love it but coming from a Sensation XL i'm not pleased with the camera seriously.

LMAO!

Maybe you should take your XL out with you and use that for taking your pictures.. Sorted!

Dude, could I ask you a question? What do you do for a living and what phone you do NOT have.

[HTC One X] CaveManDave:
Don't really see what his occupation has to do with you, nor what it has to do with his opinion. Camera on X is meh, but I suspect it's mainly due to either over compression or a rushed compression method.
[HTC One X] spekesel:
I too am underwhelmed with the camera. I expected a lot more.

If i look at this

http://www.flickr.com/photos/spekesel/7097491349/sizes/o/in/photostream/

then it looks like a smudgy noisy mess. You can check out some of my other pics, I know how to take photos.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/spekesel/4473298896/sizes/l/in/set-72157623583799500/

I just hope they give us RAW.
[HTC One X] mrhahn98:
To be honest you cant expect it to look like some of your dedicated cameras or giving us RAW files.

Your photo looks okay overall , it's noisy and fuzzy when zoomed in at 50-100% so at small size like that it's not noticeable.

The camera app have bad noise reduction and sharpen, even when sharpness is turned down to -2

Also:

This is a very nice shot! but i'm not sure why it's considered very low light condition while that roller coaster have at least 4 gigantic sets of lamps surrounding it.
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
You're being sarcastic right?

Because the waterfall image is very very nice.

[HTC One X] flame10:
I must be really dumb, the last few photos posted looks really awesome.. nobody will believe they were taken by a mobile device. Pardon my noobiness, but I'm overjoyed that my HTC One X can take such beautiful pictures, albeit not like those costly Digicams or dslrs but at least can capture the essence of the real thing. rather than all other mobile devices I have seen till date, which never could shoot a decent indoor photo, slight movement caused fuzziness, not to mention the HD Videos are quite good quality.

Don't hesitate to add more of our bad pictures to this thread, I'll love to visit and check them out.
[HTC One X] treebill:
I said some where about picture quality going down when zooming here's a rabbit sittting under a tree when raining at full zoom

As you can see not the best and here is a close up of a baby owl
[HTC One X] flame10:
Try to avoid zoom, digital zoom is simply not worth it, rather take the photo and crop latter. I guess it will be years from now, when we will get optical zoom in sleek mobiles.
[HTC One X] gurkburk92:
Has this been asked?

Did you update to 1.28? Camera is much better in that version.

Smoother when going from dark to light places

better recording

and the pictures actually look better.
[HTC One X] scott.eden:
I know there are lights around it, but its not day time its 10pm total dark,

So it is low light conditions.

If you was taking a picture indoors at night with your lights on its still low light conditions..

I'm of to football this afternoon, going to take some pictures and well post back results.

It will be LIGHT LIGHT :) not low
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
What I do is just ditch the stock camera app and use Camer360 with no filters. Images are waaaaaay better than stock camera.
[HTC One X] webjunky:
Just my opinion , but the quality of that pic is not good , sorry
[HTC One X] faizalmzain:
Nokia pureview is the answer.
[HTC One X] Spybreak:
I have the feeling there is a software issue with the camera.

As far as I know the One S has the exact same sensor and lens, and the pictures from it look somewhat better. Far detail looks better, with no artificial sharpening going on.

GSMArena has a photo test section where you can compare both phones and see what I mean. http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=3&idPhone1=4574&idPhone2=4320&idPhone3=4212

The One X looks noisier and overprocessed while the S has more natural grain. I can only assume the X was somehow rushed and we might get a fix at some point in the future.
[HTC One X] katamari201:
Please everyone shut up about DSLRs. No one is comparing this phone to them. Trying to twist the discussion in the One X's favor every time the camera is badmouthed is just stupid.

I'm far more concerned about the video capture. It sucks major balls. I've listed all the devices I've owned and seen the videos of on some other thread. It's basically everything in the last two years that isn't HTC that has better video.

Of course, I can always go down to the least common denominator. *cough*:

The iPhone is a piece of Cr@p OMGz LOLz! It's the WORST FONE EVERZ! If your fone not as good as iPhone it is lower than cr@p, even worse than WORST!

...queue camera comparisons...

Ahhh and all the Apple haters use to talk trash about the sealed battery and lack of memory expansion...
[HTC One X] Stif-Meister:
I am sad to say that I am dissapointed too.

I have a Nokia N8 which has an outstanding camera, but it is now 1½ years old and Symbian is a dead platform so wanted to move to Android. With the camera being one of the biggest selling points of the One X, I thought it would at least be as good as my 1½ year old phone. It certainly isn't.

I have seen some fine shots, but these are pretty much always outdoor photos or - if low light - of non-moving objects.

When I use my camera it is mostly in 'social situations' and often inside. For instance shots of my kids or friends. And here I get a lot of motion blur and noisy pictures. And when using the led flash, the objects or people on the pictures get a yellow tint

That is really disapointing, because with my Nokia N8 I had gotten used to not needing a point and shoot camera anymore. Now I need to bring it along again :-(

The One X may be an amazing camera if you haven't had a great camera phone before, but for me it is a sad setback. And sad because otherwise I think the phone is great - but for me the camera is very important.
[HTC One X] flame10:
Sleek mobile != pure view
[HTC One X] mrhahn98:
This is what i was talking about. I'm not saying it's a bad camera, but right now it's not producing photos better than some other HTC phones not sure if it's the lens or the software, but i think mostly because of the software

Do you even read the thread before posting this ? no one's comparing the HOX to DSLR

[HTC One X] mrhahn98:
i think slomo videos are supposed to be dark since they have fast shutter speed and only use partition of the sensor
[HTC One X] anhmel:
Slow motion video is recorded at very high FPS so exposure time is limited and amount of light may be not enough to produce good video.

Overall I also think HTC One X camera simply is not good enough for such a phone especially after all this hype.

[HTC One X] Stif-Meister:
Well, to me those pictures looks very, very grainy and in the last one we can also see the motion blur on the white poles. And these photos are even taken outside, where it should be easy to get much clearer pictures.

To clarify, I am in no way having a go at you - it's the camera that I'm dissapointed with. I want so much to love my new One X, but can't do it, unless they can perform miracles with software updates.

EDIT: Did you remove the pictures, or have I replied to the wrong person?

I have two problems since I did a manual upgrade to my I9020T from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4

Exchange Emails - I am using the stock email app. I found that every few hours, the exchange data gets refreshed and all mails gets deleted from handset. Then it will immediately start downloading all mails again from the beginning. This is causing huge data usage and battery drain. I have tried deleting all email accounts, delete call cache in recovery menu and re-creating exchange account again. Still problem persists. When ever the email app starts a refresh, first it will show "No Messages" and then it will again download all emails.

Calendar: Recurring meeting in calendars do not sync with my handset. Other meeting sync without any issues.

Has any body faced such a problem?
