[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] porkenhimer:
But the cam on the s3 doesn't take better pics. Maybe the cam app is better or more tweakable but the faster shutter speed equals a lesser quality photo and thats a fact. The is no disputing that. So if I could have my cam app have more tweaks or better picture quality I would take the better picture quality. It may look nice but its not worth it. If I got the s3 I would probably put a camera app on it to slow down the shutter to use as my main camera app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Strategist:
Personally I like the GS3 and think it's going to be the best under-5 inch smartphone out there. However the improvements aren't enough to beat the extra half inch and S-pen you get with the Note. I doubt there will be a smartphone that truly interests me till the Note 2 and when it comes to an actual purchase I will probably hold out till the Note 3.

I am interested to see what HTC and others do with the 5 inch + form factor particular if they include Wacom pens. In general I like HTC's designs and Sense and I would love to see a genuine competitor to the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
I really like the SG3 design...a lot...better than my SG2. And please... it's just a better overall device. You can deal with that if you really try...c'mooon, chin up!

However...Samsung will have to match those specs in the Note2...and of course will have to surpass it...at least a little.

S:what are people defensive about? Give credit where credits due and bide ur time.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Roeltjuh:
It's not that the shutter opens and closes faster, it's that it doesn't have shutter lag. Meaning that the picture is taken as soon as you click the shutter button.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] otester:
It's 50% faster...

Do you have any idea why pop up play does not work on my Galaxy Note. Is it only the International versions that get it or do i need to change some settings
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:
That's the question, camera app sucks (Xperia S camera app could be ported?).

If you take a photo and you zoom it quality really sucks, HTC Chachacha and LG OB takes better photos, and both have 5 mpx, I think the app compress photos so much, any solution ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCraig:
My brother has a HTC Chacha and its camera sucks, But I think the main reason the Camera is **** is because this device is mainly for gaming and not Camera, I wish it had a decent camera though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:
Ya, but it takes better photos, compare, 5 mpx MUST HAVE better quality, another example, my iPod Touch 4 takes better photos and it has 0,3 mpx.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
Build.prop edits will make your camera take higher res photos which look great

ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100

ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=10000000

First attach is an abandoned bridge, Second is my nephew (dont worry He's not worried his face is on XDa ;)) They are 2592 x 1944 and look pretty good for a 5mp if you ask me
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:
Will try, thanks in advance.

They dont appear using build.prop Edito.r
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashake:
I take mine in 1024x768 but I never had the feeling that the pictures look bad /crappy.

But I also have both of those lines in my build.prop that 216monster postet. Removed the stock cam and am using 360cam. Its all good for me

// you have to use Root explorer or a programm like that, make the path r/w and then you can add lines to build.pro
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
I'll make this easy. The camera doesn't suck. First, the play is NOT meant to zoom, and when it does it's a DIGITAL zoom meaning it has to pixelate the images along with cropping down the image due the non adjustment of the camera's optics. The pictures that monster took as you can tell aren't zoomed and to be frank look pretty freakin sweet for being from a phone and not an actual camera which obviously is solely made for taking pictures. It's like saying why are the graphics on the play not as good as a ps3..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:
can't see these lines...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:
Yes, you're right but my photos sucks, without zoom !! they re very pixelated !
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
Pm me your gtalk if you'd like I can give you a hand . But using root explorer go into the build.prop and add the lines I posted at the very end. Save and exit and your good to go.

Edit: I'm using stock camera app
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Higher Megapixel doesn't equal a better camera.

I've had a 3.2mp camera that took better pictures than the Play
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
I can agree to that. People still swear by their Lg Dare cameras which was a 3.2 I believe. Higher MP is mostly for larger sized prints..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
I've always said "If you want a good camera...buy a camera"

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
I don't think it's a terrible camera. Here's two I took on my play using the stock camera app on the ICS Beta.

Slightly edited in Adobe Lightroom to add a bit more punch
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
The problem I have with the Xperia Play camera is that the camera doesn't auto-focus very well. It always comes out blurry.

Is there a way to fix this ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstractbeats:
Perhaps set Manual Focus to Infinity and leave it there (unless you are doing a closeup shot)? The depth of field should be very large and keep everything in focus.

At work, distracting myself myself with XDA, so can't test. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:
Xperia S camera app could be ported isn it ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
You'd have to port the hardware as well. An awful lot of hassle for just a better camera.

There may be apps that can clear images up and improve the quality
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_AJ9:
I mean only the app.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Wouldn't work. You need the hardware to go with it. Its kinda like putting an Xbox game into a PlayStation. Without the relevent hardware its useless.

There's a thread about porting the camera hardware over
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
I've changed it to macro it seems better now.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FerGT:
Hi guys!!! finally I get the lockscreen and style from Xperia S for our Xperias 2011, the lockscreen is almost the same as SONY ICS, you will notice that the white lines around the lockscreen buttons are almost transparent and it keeps the black shadow at the bottom of the screen, just flash the file through CWM

IF THIS WAS USEFUL HIT "THANKS"

Stock ROM + Locked bootloader

Can't I just replace the apks to my framework ?? I managed to root my Xperia Pro , and kinda lazy ( and afraid ) to unlock the bootloader for now.So, has anyone tried to JUST replace and move the apks to the right folder (system\framework) ? Thanks before :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FerGT:
You don't need to unlock your bootloader to try my MOD, if your phone is rooted just copy the files into system/framework, but before make a backup.

IF THIS WAS HELPFUL HIT "THANKS"

I am very new to Android and Linux world. Please someone help me with step by step instructions on how to remove Drive Smart from the Settings with apps I have. I've removed APK files of all bloatware and apps that I don't use. Is that all I have to do remove? What about the app data?
[HTC Rezound] codenaruto:
Hey so I know that there was already a forum about battery life on the Rezound, but it was a bit outdated when it came to sense 4 roms. (S-OFF)

Here is so far my best combination to get the best battery!

Flash the newest leak here

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-0-3-for-the-htc-rezound-includes-new-radios/

twice by placing it in the root of your SD card and entering fastboot. Make sure to flash this twice!

Then I did a factory reset just to be safe. Flash the correct recovery you want then install the AWESOME team PkMN Rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630696

MAKE SURE TO KEEP THE KERNEL from the rom! It runs smooth and super cool :)

So far im at 73% with 6 hours, which may not seem like much; but it was way much more than what I was getting before
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
What did you do about the rom installing its kernel when you flashed it? You removed it?
[HTC Rezound] b5fan:
That ROM doesn't create the phxxx file to flash so there is nothing to erase.
[HTC Rezound] vdChild:
So in otherwords u would flash the Rom then the flash the latest update, bc if u r soff pkmn Rom installs old kernal.
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
Since we are now S-OFF we no longer need the PBxxx.img file to reboot into bootloader to install the kernel.

the kernel gets installed with the ROM.

you also don't need to worry about kernels when doing a nandroid back-up from say, ICS to a GB ROM, any more.

so to the OP, you are running the older kernel, unless you installed the new leak kernel afterwards, which I would like to know if you did, because I tried running the newest leak boot.img(kernel) on the PkMn ROM and it wouldn't boot.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
i believe that in scott's thread to the stock rooted version of the latest update he has the PH98IMG that is the kernel. You could just install PKMN and then install that throught the HBoot
[HTC Rezound] andybones:
it wouldn't boot up for me, perhaps others will have better luck.
[HTC Rezound] dalvear88:
i'm gonna try it now. I have S-off on the phone by default so i hope it works lol. i'll let ya know in a few if i have the same results. I was thinking that would work but i may be wrong....
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Yes like Andy said, if you're s off the kernel is flashed from recovery when you flash the rom. That's what I was asking if you removed but that answered my question. I was thinking there was a ramdisk difference in the sense 4 kernel and the stock sense 3.6 kernel. I know you said you flashed the RUU like you would for s on, but since theres an "(S-OFF)" in your post I was thinking you were s off and flashed the pokemon kernel with the rom, which would just mean that you're loving the same kernel everybody else is running who hasn't run the lasted leak hboot update.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It's scary that people just flash away without knowing what their doing...
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I would think it wouldnt boot for anybody. The pokemon rom is sense 4, so you need a sense 4 kernel. The latest leak is a sense 3.6 kernel. In theory it shouldnt work at all.

If you do exactly what the OP says, step by step, the pokemon rom overwrites the latest leak rom and its kernel in its entirety. so he is just running pokemon rom.

[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I agree, but it's a lot less harmful is you're s-off. The only thing that can really hurt you are radios and bootloader. S-on is a different story.
[HTC Rezound] RoryHe:
S-on is almost completely safe ... that's why htc did the dev unlock!

With s-off there are way more ways to brick your phone it doesn't do any checking to see if things are signed or work or anything... that is not safer than s-on.

If you don't know what your doing htc dev unlock is a perfectly fine option.
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
If your not running the newest kernel then the radios must be what are really making the difference
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Lol, I think you have that backwards.....
[HTC Rezound] codenaruto:
Sorry! Whoops I meant to say keep kernel from ROM. Sorry guys! Should have checked my post before :P

and even more,

"It turns out that this doesn't include new radios after all."

from android police

Which means that the it's just the ROM after all!

I guess this thread can be deleted then
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
unless he didn't flash the last RUU, the radios are the same from the last leak.

[Sony Tablet S] Hamcha:
Hi, This topic should have been a reply to the AiO one on the development board but since the board software thinks I'm too new to post to developments forums I'm forced to create a new topic here on General, So I'm really sorry if I did something wrong (Guess what, I'm new!)

So, I wanted to upgrade my Tablet S to a pre-rooted ICS while I had a 3.2.1r2.

I rooted it, did all the steps to have a working custom_update.zip,while flashing the custom_update thing, text warned me that I was flashing the pre-rooted, init.d'ed, whatever custom rom, so I though it was all going to be fine..

Then I discovered that Superuser wasn't there, neither was busybox and basically root in general was gone, while the "rescure-backdoor" wasn't.

Checking the topics I discovered that my best solution was to downgrade to 3.2.1r2 and do the whole thing again.

So that's what I did, I wiped the whole system and Honeycomb started without problem, except that it turns back to not-really-pre-rooted ICS the next time I reboot.

This wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that I need to reboot the tablet some times to get root, and I need root to decrypt and prepare the custom update.

So, what am I doing wrong? I searched here and there and didn't find a solution yet :(.
[Sony Tablet S] quiqsilver:
Sometimes you need to do a factory reset or else it flips back to ICS from HC. I haven't always had to do it; I'm not sure what the contributing factor is there. Essentially there are two system partitions (system0 and system1) and the bootloader makes a decision on which one to boot based on unknown criteria. It can be a bit quirky after downgrading, but a factory reset seems to clear it up.
[Sony Tablet S] Hamcha:
SOLVED.. but how?

I knew that, I wiped everything each time I reverted to 3.2.1, maybe I forgot to mention that.

But it didn't directly boot to ICS, it did boot to Honeycomb, THEN the next time I boot I'm back to ICS again.

I did manage to stop this, however.. how? I don't know, something like the 4/5th time I re-flashed it worked.
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Wipe before first boot of 3.2.1 is VERY IMPORTANT.

Downgrade step-by-step is described in AiO thread in FAQ section.

[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Sick of reading the prophets of doom and naysayers saying "fail,fail":rolleyes: you've made your point so i guess you wont be buying one then therefore you most likely won't be sticking around these forums then eh!!

This thread is for positive comments only, i for one am delighted with this release it is pretty much what i expected to be honest with a few added surprises, the early review from the Tech Radar website is very positive indeed and i am looking forward to getting this superb phone although it will be a wrench to sell my SGSII but ill have to do so to part fund buying the Galaxy S3,
[Galaxy S III General] wildcard30:
I am looking forward to the USA announcement and hope they don't change it too much from the international version.
[Galaxy S III General] ap3604:
Positive comment:

The Galaxy S III will be nice for someone who is ok with getting uninspired upgrades from last years model and don't care about the negatives such as:

- battery (not 2500mAh like the Note?)

- camera (still the same 8mp camera as the 12 month old SII?)

- screen (same screen as the 6 month old Galaxy Nexus?)

- UI (touchwiz + hardware keys)

- Design (yuck)
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
what part of my OP did you not understand:mad: take your poxy negativity off this thread and go elsewhere ok
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
well u must admit the design of a phone really influences ones purchase of said phone. the sgs 3 design really looks bad which is (as i see it) the main reason why a lot of people are so disappointed.

however i think i will still be upgrading to the sgs 3 from my sgs 2. the new hardware + better batter is enough to justify my purchase of the sgs 3. though im pretty sure it wont last me as long as the sgs 2 did which i bought at launch.
[Galaxy S III General] Bowsa2511:
They MIGHT change the design for the US, and include an S4 processor for even more battery life!
[Galaxy S III General] happynoodleboyx:
Definitely an upgrade from the nexus: bigger battery, removable storage and a physical home button (always hit the capacitive home button when pressing space bar).

Hopefully they'll pop in a beastly S4 snapdragon and this comes to Verizon in early June!
[Galaxy S III General] whatsaqazza:
I honestly don't believe many people will have a positive thing to say. It's not a very revolutionary phone as the S2 was. The US version will be a S4 snapdragon most likely, I just wish there was a Exynos 5 dual model. Then I may actually get it.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
Ive no problem with the design and personally speaking it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me but each to their own, the 2,100 mAh battery is a big improvement on the current SGSII and that can only be very good news.

Early reviews on various websites are very good indeed, to be honest some people will never be happy and will always find time to complain that is just what some people are like i suppose that is no problem just not on this thread please.;)
[Galaxy S III General] touness69:
Jesus, how can anyone say 2100 is a fail when it's one of the best on the market except for the 5.3" note ?

I'm also pissed off about these trolls I mean it isn't anything else it's just blatant off topic trolling, I think I will pm some moderators

Personnally I ike the design and as I said in another thread, from the few videos I've seen it just feels soo responsive and smooth, can't wait for june to get my hands on mine :)
[Galaxy S III General] KaptainRandom:
So,

It's ok for you to troll the 'negative' threads with your 'positive' comments,

But not vice-versa?
[Galaxy S III General] moshe22:
I really really like the design. It's appealing to me.
[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
To put it shortly: What a totally freaking awesome phone :-)
[Galaxy S III General] DKYang:
You guys should know by now that whenever a new phone is released. Xda is the place to read all negative aspects of a new device and see pages full of "fail" this and that. Just come back when development starts happening because that's when the trolls are usually gone. For now, I'm going to other forums for discussions.

Btw, if a battery with 2100 mah is horrible, then you loose all credibility. This is the Galaxy S III not the Galaxy Note II.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
who is trolling, you ****ing are.

I will be getting in touch with moderators if this continues
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
these are the positives things one can say about the sgs3 compared to the sgs2 for now.

1 - 720p screen with slightly less saturated colours than previous super amoled screens.

2 - 60% faster gpu

3 - 2100 mha battery.

4 - various software improvements especially to the camera though some not all are a bit gimmicky.

5 - hardware buttons. (i like hardware buttons)

6 - quad core processor.

7 - bluetooth 4.0

8 - up to 64 gigs of internal memory

maybe someone can say more?
[Galaxy S III General] AllGamer:
the only positive thing about the S3 are its new core apps, i dig them all :D
