Galaxy S 3 vs iphone Camera

Seems like Last years iphone takes better quality pictures than the S3.

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-vs-Apple-iPhone-4S_id3038/page/3

I like the quality of the S3 but hope Samsung can improve with software update.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wond3r:
The Hayabusa should be coming late June early July, based off Indias roadmaps. regardless of which version, it will mean the BETTER CAMERA has been made.

Also this is coming right after the release of the Xperia S. Look at the time frame of the XS vs the Hayabusa ... 4 months maybe? Now look at the small improvements of the S2 and the S3 in the much longer timespan.

(yes this is based off of speculation that the Hayabusas camera will in fact be very good... but I dont think thats too far out to assume)

Are you honestly still referring to my initial post?

I have since then, several times, expanded my point about the camera so please dont dwell on my words saying the camera should be like the HTC ONE X.

Not sure why you avoided the question either " Tell me... Do you think the S3 camera is the perfect camera for it and the best specs that it possibly could be in this day and time?"

I will GUARANTEE you that this has nothing to do with them not having budget to work on the camera. BUT with that being said, you do interally agree with me to some degree about the camera.

And you mention maybe it would delay the product by a few months if they were to have done a better camera.

Well well, why not release the best product possible?

Let me for the hundredth time clarify my point and I hope that you and others will understand.

The camera could have, and should have been better.

I hope that was clear.

It should not be trading blows with the i4s camera (pretty much its major...and outdated competitor. Not speaking in Android vs Android land. I'm sure the i5 will demolish it. No I do not own an iphone and dont want one either).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
If the camera is your main focus for a smart phone side say get the Nokia pure view , if its an overall package running ics side say get the gs3 . If its build quality , customer service and simplicity id say get a 4s .

Personally you can not please everyone, and from the samples I have seen the s3 does have a good enough camera.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph00ny:
Please Mr. Expert

Can you provide more information on the new sensor being used in the S3 compared to the S2 sensor used in S2/HOX?

You keep talking about the optics as if it's the only thing that matters

If you don't like the camera performance, it's very simple. Buy another phone with a better camera. Honestly, camera performance is good enough for a quick snap
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avocco:
Dude, Do you actually want a smartphone or are you after a camera. If anyone truly wants to take photos they use a real camera not a smartphone. But for everyone else like me, when you just want to capture a moment and there's nothing else to hand its perfect.

But one thing you seem to be forgetting is that the camera is just one part of the phone, let's say that this Hyabusa does indeed have the perfect camera, what if the rest of it sucks, I think the Galaxy S3 at present is the perfect all rounder.

I will agree to your initial point, the S3 camera could have been better. But I'm sure it would have been a trade off for something else though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wond3r:
This has been discussed already that people thinking "If anyone truly wants to take photos they use a real camera not a smartphone. " are stuck in a 2005 mindframe. That point is not even valid anymore. Lets all just carry a phone with NO camera, and also a camera, AND also a camcorder with us - thats the solution I guess.

And I doubt it would have been a trade off for something else.

phoony - I am not an expert. I'm a consumer, thats all. Just like you - if you are satisfied with the camera, then kudos to you. And I really did not say optics are the only thing that matters, since thats simply not true.

Why are you guys so defensive over the s3? Or do you work for Samsung and need to defend this product.

I'm not saying this phone sucks, I even said I am getting this phone. No need to get so upset and have to defend it until the end.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Worthless thread

Tomorrow OP will come up with another thread saying:

SGS3 should have 8 cores and 2GB RAM. Afterall it's supposed to be best phone of 2012, so why not have some incomparable specs. Maybe then he will open another thread saying SGS3 must have 1080p screen. Everyone uses 720p, so Samsung should use 1080p. Then maybe 5000 mAh as RAZR Max already has 3300. I mean the list could go on for ever.

Get a Sony or HOX or iPhone 4S/5/6 and be happy. You are just trying to argue with people without any reason or logic. Someone should inform the mods to close this thread -- utter waste of time and effort.

I'm pretty sure you're not talking about the sensor in your original post
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
I can't see a thread for this on xda yet, but the developer adlx has been working on a CM9 port for the ChaCha, he has an alpha ROM up here on a Spanish forum.

I'm gonna flash this check it out when I can :)
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
Just flashed this, can confirm it works! Very smooth too :)
[HTC ChaCha] gabriel_dream:
Funciona / Does works

• Calls

• Data (3g/2g)

• Wifi

• GPS (takes quite some time to get a fix though)

• Keypad mapping is working for default European layout.

No funciona / Doesn't work

• Proximity sensor while calling

• Front Cam

• Back Cam

• Non default European keyboard layout are not yet supported (you can contribute)

• Difficulty to type the PIN, so disable SIM's PIN code

Good enough for me. Downloading right now ...
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
You should of waited until adlx posted him self. :)
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
I wasn't sure how long it had been around, I know the post I linked to was from today but I'm not sure which release it is.

I'm sure he'll start his own thread when he checks in anyway, I just wanted to let people know it was out there :)
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Dang! I had the known issues list ready for publishing. Oh well, we should wait for adlx though :)

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Don't really know what this means as I've been using the ROM for about a week or so; could provide support if needed.
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Does your cell connection completely cut out for a few seconds when you turn the screen off? I tried it earlier, and mine cut off for a few seconds every time I turned the screen off :(
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
I haven't experienced this. :)
[HTC ChaCha] munishjoshi:
I had also seen this rom on that forum but I think we should wait from the post of the developer..
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Hmm - what radio are you running? Guessing it could just be a radio problem for me

EDIT: Also, what ROM were you running before you flashed ICS? I figured I could try a combination of ROM/radio flashes to see if it helps
[HTC ChaCha] munishjoshi:
BRO,

When u r going to release as per ur signature

HTC ChaCha - HTC Sense 3.5 ROM project for HTC ChaCha - I will release soon (Android 2.3.6)
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
That's off subject to this thread but when I fix the Wi-Fi driver.

To the other guy,

RADIO:7.51.35.19

Before:CM7
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Hmm, that didn't work either, and I tried a combination of radios and HBOOTs too :(

But what -seems- to work for me, is swapping out libhtc_ril.so from the latest CM7 build and putting it into the ICS .zip before flashing - knock on wood
[HTC ChaCha] empy16:
Same here. No signal after the screen's been off for a few minutes. I wonder, maybe that's just the indicator..
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It's now official on XDA also. Please move all discussions related in the the thread.
[General Questions and Answers] TrollinGod:
Hello,

If I overuse/overclock my SGS2 so that it overheats and breaks, can i use the guarentee?

greetz

P.S:. on the mobile is a custom ROM but the download counter is on 0.
[General Questions and Answers] TrollinGod:
what do you mean?

u wanted to ask the same? :D
[General Questions and Answers] Coltie:
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but to overclock ( since I never did it on the phone ) you need to be rooted.And rooting your phone voids your warranty.So the answer is no.If you ever have to use your guarantee you better get jig.Or you can just flashback your stock firmware with its kernel. A friend of mine told me that if this is done without jig they still have a way to see that you tried to lie to them.

But staying with stock roms/kernels for 2 years (in my case) is bull.And you cant even tell if something will break in those two years.. And even if it did, what would it cost you?20 bux..The advantages you get from flashing new roms and kernels worth more than 20 bux in my opinion.Hope I answered to your question.
[General Questions and Answers] TrollinGod:
ty for your reply.

Yes i have a JIG and I used it to reset.

What do you mean with 20 bux??

warranty is for free ?!?!

or did i missunderstood you?
[General Questions and Answers] Coltie:
enlyuir clean

Yes, it is for free.

I meant it like if your microphone gets broken and they dont count your warranty because its their right to believe that this bug may come from the rom you flashed..In most cases they will be wrong but who am I to judge them.

So they will ask you to pay for the repair, which will probably be around 20 bux, thats what I meant.

I'm more concerned in my phone falling out of my pocket and cracking the screen, where the warranty wont help me at all..

So as I said... What are the odds that something will get broken.

I'm 17 years old and I have changed 3 or 4 phones and I have never used my warranty.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henkske22:
Hello all,

I have a problem with VPN.

Last year i was running a stock version of android 2.2 on my Desire HD and it was rooted. I installed OpenVPN following this guide and everything works ok:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848939.

Since a few months im using custom roms but i can't get OpenVPN to work in the custom roms. If i restore the nandroid to my original stock firmware it works again.

Im using the same config files on all the different roms i used. Here is an overview of the VPN that works:

As you can see beneath the VPN says it's connected to my home IP.

Everything works. My phone is using my home IP adress.

Different app:

Terminal overview:

I can browse the internet with my home IP and i can access everything that's running at home.

However like i said, i can't get it to work with a custom rom. For this example i used ARHD 7.0.4 and the same config files. OpenVPN says its connected to my home ip adress just like picture 4.

Some apps give me my home IP adress but other apps and the website whatsmyipadress show the ISP provider ip. I can't acces my network.

The following app gives me the IP of my ISP provider:

The MYIP app shows me my home IP adress:

Copymyip also shows my home IP:

Terminal overview:

I don't browse the internet with my home IP and i cant access my network.

Does anyone know what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

[Android Apps and Games] ICUDeadNow:
hi,

and thank you for your work.

The app works pretty well for me so far. It plays videos much better and more fluent compared to mx player on my galaxy nexus.

However one disadvantage is the fact that the soft keys are visible during playback of video files compared to other players where soft keys of the nexus are hidden to use the full screen of the phone.

Is it possible to include a possibility to hide the soft keys in your next release?

thank you

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Restore your EFS backup. Lots of threads on here that tell you how to do this. No backup ? Then you have a fairly serious problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toyoki:
i dont have backup
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No backup eh ? As I said, that's a problem. OK. I assume you haven't rooted the phone or put a custom rom on it & are still running stock firmware ?

If you are still running stock/haven't flashed anything, send it in for warranty service. No point taking risks around losing your warranty through flashing things now.

If you have rooted the phone/been flashing non stock firmware on it, there are several apps on Google Play which claim to be able to recover your EFS/IMEI, they might be worth looking at.

There are also many threads on here outlining methods you can use to try and recover your EFS/IMEI (do a Google search & append XDA to your search terms).

If none of these work, you can contact a member on here called Odia who might (absolutely no guarantees whatsoever) be able to recover it for you (for a small donation). But contacting Odia should be your final step as I doubt he'll even consider helping you unless you've tried everything else first.
