I'm not sure what you expect from the small sensor on a cell-phone camera. Do you have technical knowledge about digital photography? I don't see anything unexpected on the pictures, this is a very small sensor and small lens, don't expect noise-free images.

It works fine in broad daylight, the zones well iluminated will have almost no noise, shadows have less light so they will have more noise. This is a result of quantum mechanics and affects all digital cameras. That's why SLR cameras have sensors that are much bigger than the ones on compact cameras.

Photos taken inside the house or with flash will have more noise, that's something you have to know (higher ISO = more noise).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] snsdyoona:
I know, My problem not only in photography, I trying to ask in video recording

As I said , I wanna to know that when use " video recording " mode , the noise will appear on screen even if not yet started or NOT:(

when I see video recorded by my phone, can see clearly more noise:( ,

this is reason why I had posted this thread to find help, because the first time I use an android device:o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaanJordaan:
I'm on CM9 at the moment.

I also have noise using 1080p video recording. Don't know if it's any different from Samsung stock.

Do you have a full 8mp resolution sample photo???

I can't compare with the samples you posted, they are too small!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cmatic2:
I have this same issue - terrible snaps even in bright sunlight! Should I be asking for a warranty replacement?

Here are two examples - One taken in bright sunlight, and the other indoors in a well lit room PLUS flash.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] martcerv:
I think you guys are expecting way too much from a mobile phone camera, they are pretty good for what they are but the simple physics of the small sensor and lens is always going to be a limiting factor.

Also if you use zoom its all just digital zoom which just makes the pixels larger producing even more noise. Avoid this at all times if you want any half decent images or videos and if your still not happy with what you get buy a decent DSLR camera but get ready to spend some proper $$$$'s.

There will never be a small sensor pocket camera that will match a larger sensor DSLR camera when it comes to image quality especially in a low light environment.

This doesn't mean you cant take decent pics or videos with them but dont expect DSLR quality. Even DSLR camera's vary greatly between models and this is mostly down to sensor size and lens quality. A medium level DSLR camera will cost you about $3,000 and any top quality lenses $1,000 plus, pro level cameras are closer to $10,000.

Small cameras and phones are getting better with each generation but they have still a long way to go and will never get to the same level due to basic physical size limitations of mobile formats.

I do not see any noise on the video preview (resolution set to 1920x1080). Checked under day and office lighting. In a darker environment more noise is expected, that happens to any digital sensor.

Check this full resolution picture taken two days ago. You cannot see any noise anywhere:

Answer to cmatic2:

The cat picture is taken inside a dark room, so the camera used ISO400. You're going to see noise on the image even if you use a compact camera.

Cellular phones have 1 - 2 mm sensors

Compact cameras have 6 - 8 mm sensors

SLR cameras have 16 - 30 mm sensors

That's what determines the signal to noise ratio.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] safuan7822:
Just a question. Are u using matte screen protector?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaanJordaan:
There is visible noise on the green leaves in the top-left corner.

But it's a good quality pic for a phone camera.

Guys, please upload full resolution pics like vcespon did.

How are we supposed to see any noise on 800x600 images!?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cmatic2:
I have been trying to do that... can you point me to any FAQs on how to do this??

EDIT :

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hackerboi:
the camera is fine i think. Its a Phone camera and a good one at that. Sometimes the camera lens gets smudged by fingers etc resulting in such pix. Try using Camera Fv-5 app it gives you more control with the camera. Like adjusting the ISO, Exposure compensation etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaanJordaan:
The three pics you posted are fine.

XDA just make thumbnails, if you click on them you see the full res picture.

There is way too much noise in the photo's.

I would bring it back for warranty if i we're you.

Cheers mate,

Daan

edit: Wait a minute. Why are your pics different resolutions? You're not going to tell me you zoomed in, are you?

Post some full res pics here:

This is original pic with full pixels, please try

We can't see in the day with a good light conditions but in the room when use light from lamp, can see clearly noise in preview screen in video recording mode,not flat

You are like me, Dann?

This problem appear on any recording mode: 720,1080 and lower
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaanJordaan:
DUDE, that picture is only 1024x768 pixels!!!

1024x768=786432, so 0.8MP!

The Note's camera is 8MP, change your settings to take full 8MP photos!!!

If your settings are correct you did something wrong while uploading.

The pic you posted last on XDA is a different resolution but not 8MP.

PLEASE UPLOAD

FULL ORIGINAL PHOTO

TO PHOTOBUCKET OR SIMILAR SERVICE.

You know what, never mind.

Figure it out. Ive been trying to help but you guys don't listen.

Bye.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hackerboi:
In the picture of the river, since there are shadows and highlights, the software probably couldn't meter it properly. in low light situations the software will bump up the ISO, to capture more light thus increasing the noise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cmatic2:
@Daan

Nope - all taken at the same resolution... the values get swapped around depending on whether its in Portrait or Landscape mode.

Here is the photobucket Link

Dammit! why is photobucket auto re-sizing too!?! EDIT: I dont have the pro account - so have uploaded at the max settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Well if you have tried al avenues, and nothing helps and there are notes with better quality pics isnt it enought proof that yours is inferior quality.? then you should bring it back. Last I am gonna say about it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
Well, you finally managed to upload the full resolution picture. You can not expect much more from the camera on a cell phone. I have found one very similar, almost identical exposure settings. Mine is more focused, you should try to tap the screen so the camera focuses correctly before pressing the shutter button. Galaxy Note Camera is good at focusing, even in macro mode.

Look at the white van, it's on the shadow, so it has higher level of noise. This a unavoidable effect of quantum mechanics (light is composed of photons and they arrive randomly at the sensor, following a typical Poisson distribution. Less light = more noise). The only way out of this is to have more light (using bigger lenses and bigger sensors).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aami.aami:
yes this is one of the biggest issues on the note. the reason is the camera on the note tends to capture more light on its 28mm lense. when shooting FullHD videos you have a narrower field of view than that of the still camera. The explanation is that the camcorder uses only the center of the 8MP sensor instead of shooting with the whole surface and then scale it down to 1080p.

In 720p video capture mode however they use the whole sensor and as a result you have almost the same wide field of view as the still camera (about 30mm).

What this means for the occasional videographer is 720p videos might turn out the better option in low light as the process of pixel binning used for downsizing the information captured from the 8 megapixel sensor down to 720p actually helps suppress digital noise too.

but the actual reason of the problem is the lense of the Note. but it is quite sure that if samsung tweaks the camera alogrithms just like it did in the galaxy s3, this noise thing can be fully removed but everyone knows they will not do that and everyone also know the answer why they would not do that....

I just bought the atrix 2 on craigslist and I would like to check if it is rooted and or flashed. How can I check both of these things?
[Motorola Atrix 2] chrisn91:
If its rooted u should see a app called supersuser
[Motorola Atrix 2] rdavisct:
Download busybox installer by jrummy16 from google play.when u open it and it says not rooted.your not rooted.if it stays open,you are rooted ao far. Then look at the info on screen itll say weather busybox is installed or not.if its not,install it and reboot.then you can download the "ATRIX 2 bootstrapper" from the stickies thread in on "rooting" (i believe its here). Install that apk and youll be ready to install roms through cwm recovery.if its not rooted,you can check the "root" thread and download the "one-click exploit" to root your phone.

Thanks guys!!

You could also download terminal emulater, and then type su. If you get access granted you're rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ungraph:
So I recently purchased these screen protectors from Amazon. They arrived the day after (standard shipping). The application was quite easy, perhaps because I have a lot of experience with screen protector application. I used gloves and the result was a flawless application with no bubbles or dust entrapped.

However, the screen did lose a bit of it's sharpness. Although the screen now anti-fingerprint, matte with no glare, it doesn't look as sharp as before. Perhaps I'll get used to it as time goes on, like I mentioned, it's hardly noticeable.

One great thing about it is that there's less friction on the fingers when swiping. Much smoother than the screen itself and fingerprints virtually don't stick anymore. The cutout was perfect, both holes are centered and it covers the entire screen, unlike cheaper alternatives which are millimeters short of covering the edges.

In conclusion, the product is great if you're willing to sacrifice some screen sharpness.

4.5/5.0
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tonysunshine:
Does it work with the dock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ungraph:
I don't have a dock, but the screen protector doesn't have a dock cutout at the bottom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kornball:
I have this screen protector for my Prime, and it fits into the dock fine :D I really like how it cuts down on the glare without sacrificing much clarity. I'd recommend this protector as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] al mon:
I use these protectors on almost all my gadgets. The only thing you need to worry about is the package being dusty itself. I find it helpful to dust off the little plastic sheet before attempting an install.

One thing about the firm film type protectors, one spec of dust means an air bubble.

Hi All ,

A friend of mine got Samsung Exhibit II 4G/T679 T-Mobile USA ,

Searched in the forum and tried old methods used with Galaxy S and Galaxy SII and Vibrant but all shots was unsuccessful

So is there any way or guide to unlock that device ?

Thanks all for your help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisperrera:
Only one

There is only one way to unlock the Exhibit 2 4g. You need a network unlock code from either T-Mobile or a company that has access to the keys. (I personally used cell-unlocker, but that is because they have ads everywhere.)

If you do go through T-Mobile for the unlock code, you need like to have $50 worth of credit with the account or show proof that you paid full RETAIL (mine wasn't covered because I bought it on Amazon from Samsung).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MohamedYousri:
Thanks for your help , sent the phone that have more advanced tools that can calculate the codes and already unlocked it

Samsung Exhibit T679 unlocked successfully!!! thanks to Kachman

Hey guys!

Breaking news!

for many days I was desperately trying to unlock my Samsung Exhibit T679 model brought from USA (locked to T mobile). After seeing the posts in XDA forum, I had some hopes. I committed to donate for the unlock.

Chils41 helped me at first. But even he could not unlock the phone. He referred kachman (http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2018292) for the unlock . I donated him 10$ for the unlock. Just today, he has successfully unlocked my phone. It has just just less than a minute to unlock. He unlocks the phone remotely. Just we need to download two remotely connecting programs.

Kachman! Thanks very much.

Anyway, gonna download and install ASAP....I'll be back with feedback.
