[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil3062:
oh yeah its the first requirement and it skipped my mind..lol sorry

even i just got my note 2 days back with LA4 after having used SGS2 for over a year.. really missing ICS on the S2.. still familiarizing myself with various issues with this phone to be sorted out like had to do with s2 year back..

you can either flash a KJ1 fw since your current LA4 cannot be rooted..

i also found this very helpful thread with rooted repacked odexed fws please give this a read also as i am currently doing might be less time consuming than the downgrading method.. still unsure! always helps to scavenge the forums and ask members for help since XDA is such a welcoming and friendly community

(A belated) Thanks!

Devil and Bayu:

Apologies for the late reply - life just took over for a while there. I'm normally straight in on these things.

Well thanks for the info - you've put my suspicions to rest. LA6 is not as straight forward as others. So I'm going to leave it as it is for now and perhaps root up sometime in the future and live with these dirty little bloats for now (I hate all this muck inside my toy really).

As for the future - I'm actually very happy with the stability of Gingerbread and just wondering if it's REALLY worth upgrading to ICS when it comes out OTA ?

I'm not the type that must have the latest and greatest OS BUT if it means that ICS will improve things for me, eg. battery (of all things), fluidity, etc... then It might be worth it.

Im interested on what you think about the official ICS samsung upgrade on the GT N700?

Will it be easier to root the ICS version when it arrives ?

Alright So I ended up bricking my 7127 while attempting to copy the /system/apps/ over to sdcard thinking i was real smart...:p This went into force close spam, ultimately I restarted Tablet and Of course now it's stuck at the android start up.

Using some of the unbrick videos i managed to do some stuff with CWM and what not but this is where i went entirely wrong..

I ended up clicking "wipe date / factory reset" in the stock recovery menu.

So now when i try using adb or fastboot my PC cannot find the device at all and therefor I cannot flash any recovery images or anything else I'd need to do to unbrick.

Oh yeah.. did i mention that I never did a backup image either?

What can I Do at this point? OMG.. out of all things this is my girlfriends tablet she just baught..she's going to kill me lol.. I'd absolutely appreciate some help here BIG TIME!!:D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
Hello,

I recently got the Razr XT910 and everything is nice except for the camera quality.

When i take pictures 99.99% of the pictures i take are BLURRY and i try hard to make my hands stand still... not to mention the video recording quality.. i have an ipod touch that have a vga camera that can take pictures way better than my Razr XT910.

Is there a program or update or mod or driver that i need to install to get it to work correctly ?

i will upload some pictures ASAP to let you show you what i mean.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] md07:
update 2.3.6, camera should be better. And, the the picture view by Razr always dark but not when view on PC
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
2.3.6 update plus get ICScamPro it's an amazing app for taking pictures. There's an ultrajpg mode that really makes magic. Also, focusing are much better than default camera.

cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
The second thing i did after charging my phone fully is doing the update and indeed it updated to 2.3.6.

here are some of the pictures i just took and i tried hard to make my hands stand still !

thanks for the replies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
do you mean "Camera ICS+"?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
Oh, also forgot to say that when you select NIGHT PORTRAIT the picture will lag a lot to the level it will take 10 seconds to take the picture after hitting the Take Picture Button !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rey.ginete:
use camera zoom fx instead
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
When the light is low the picture are pretty bad, it's like that, try to be in a room with lot of light and make test again.

Thanks for the tip with ICS camera i'll give it a shot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Exactly.

Your pics seem really blurry anyway. Maybe playing with camera settings would fix it.

Make sure you have a faster sd card. Cheap sdcard do the same to pics and vids. Gota a class 10 kingston pro (95mbs) replacing a cheap kingston 16mg sdhc class 4 and video quality, also pics were really improved. You may have a defective (cheap) sdcard too. lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
This is incorrect. Sd card speed do not affect picture quality. 10 years ago when memory cards were slow, digital cams are still able to capture high quality pics.

As for video, sd card speed may cause instability like lag. From my experience, video capture on digital cameras like Canon EOS will stop recording on its own after 5-20s because of slow sd cards.

Lastly, defective sd cards do not cause pictures to blur.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Hi Nikorasu,

Try recording and playing a video with a low speed sdcard. I got 2, my first sdcard was a class 4 and vids were really weird, there were some lags or low frame rate with it. Then I bought a class 10 sdcard (sandisk extreme pro, a class 10 95mb/s) and my vids quality were really improved, specially frame rates.

I had recorded this vid in february, from my apartment windows with the old (cheap) sdcard, take a look how laggy it is:

http://youtu.be/Ok2BWDmYfQY

You may note the lag in frames.

Cheers

Edit: This is my actual sdcard

http://img2.mlstatic.com/s_MLB_v_O_f_223334251_21.jpg

Edit 2:

1. My vids stop recording with low speed sdcard, as you told.

2. The pics quality were also improved maybe due faster recording images on sdcard. I can't explain, just told about my own experience with razr and low speed sdcards. I think focusing is faster too with my new sdcard.

Don't know about pro cameras, like Canon EOS as you mentioned, but with android cameras that what I noticed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
I'm not seeing this blurring issue. Pretty much all of my pictures came out sharp. The color balance can sometimes be off and there's a lot of digital noise in darkened settings, but under normal light... no complaints.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Seems nice. What is your sdcard speed?

Thanks man
[Motorola Droid RAZR] arisgoku:
try saving pics on the internal memory and see the results, also try a different app but also save them on the internal, if the proble persists try having someone else to take them and if it still does it then sent it for a replacement
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shezoid:
my comparison

stock vs ics camera+ :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Cool.

I think Galaxy Nexus pics and the last one, from Razr, with Camera ICS+ are better. This really seems to be a GB issue, don't you think? What is the speed of sdcard of each smartphone you use? cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shezoid:
I didn't use sdcard, I saved pictures to internal storage.

By the way on razr I use this memory

I agree with you, it should be a software issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
Yup it's exactly as I said, slow sd card may cause instability like lag. However, don't confuse lag with picture quality.

A video with lag taken with a slow sd card, and a video without lag with a fast sd card will have the same picture quality when

paused

. The lag in your videos are caused by missing frames because the software is unable to write to your sd card fast enough before more information are coming in. When some software knows this is happening, it stops recording.

That is for video.

As for pictures... SD cards are not analog like VCR tapes where the low quality tapes will result in low quality pictures as the videos are "printed" onto the tapes. They are in digital format made up of 1s and 0s. When a sd card is slow, it simply takes the software a longer time to write in that information (1s and 0s), and you'll have to wait longer to take another picture. The picture quality will be the same.

As for focusing faster with faster SD card, high chance it's just a placebo effect. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Can we see some pictures taken with the leaked ICS for RAZR?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
Actually, i am using the internal storage i dont have any SD card yet.

Do you think its a software issue ? i updated to 2.3.6 and 65.1.40.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 system software even tho i bought it from the US.

OR could it be a defictive product ? plaese i dont want to return it as this was the last on in stock and it will not be back on stock... so i cannot replace it unless i contact motorola support...

do you think that changing te software to the EU stck ROM will be okay ? and will fix the issue ?

Thank you people for the replies !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scotja50:
Thank you for ICScam+ works like a dream!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jakubx80:
Did you enable 8 MP mode? The camera default setting is 6MP and I found the checkbox quite confusing. Once I enabled 8MP my pictures were less blurry.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
Yes i did. I also tried many other things !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Agreed. Card speed will not effect picture quality... especially considering it's buffered to internal RAM memory first, anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
so ? what should i do now ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nameite:
There must be a way...the way this phone focuses definitely has a problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
Exactly ! its all about the FOCUS ! and the time it takes to focus and take the picture is way too long thats why when i installed the ICS CAMERA it took picutres better !

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
thats amazing ! why i cant have such a pictures in my phone then ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
It's the way the stock cam focuses: seem to focus on a small point and creates a lot of depth of field (blurness for non focus parts). This happens less for outdoor pics.

The picture seems abit dull though, good for those who like to adjust their photographs later as it doesn't overexpose.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] giantcrazy:
I've always had a problem with this camera, but over the past couple of days I've upgraded the SD card and received the 181 update. Not sure which did it, but I took some pictures yesterday and they were markedly improved over what I had been taking.

The 181 update supposedly doesn't have any camera enhancements, so maybe there's something to the points about memory speed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vjr021:
How can I update my XT910 to 2.3.6 ??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DaveMW:
I have to say. I'm very disappointed in the camera on this phone. I would kill for spot metering like the iphone has. Trying to take a picture without flash - in a room with high contrasting light from a window - is impossible. It would be nice if the phone would meter the light from the spot that I touch for focus.

End of rant. Sorry no real help here. I'm going to start carrying my Canon PowerShot SD4000 when I know I want to take a decent picture.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mobzter:
i use UCAM.. very good app for pics n has some useful features.. worth a try peeps!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
I'm looking for better camera tips and tricks as well. I have a 32GB class 10 SD Card and most of my pics still come out blurry. I should mention I have the Razr Maxx, but I don't think that makes a difference. I just switched to Verizon from Sprint a couple days ago, so trying to master this camera. I had the Galaxy S2 with sprint and the default camera was fantastic. Razr default is lagging IMO.

Has anyone tried Pudding Camera? I have and I love it. It takes perfect pics immediately! A number of different shooting styles and effects, it blows the default camera away! I believe its free in the market, give it a shot.

2.Post where you want the video clipped (20-25 secs)

3.Explain if you want it looped or to freeze somewhere
