I did, but my iso is always on auto nevertheless :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeP:
I would try three things:

- Set ISO manually. I don't have an S3, but with my S2 I get the best results by setting ISO manually.

- Turn antishake off. In general, electronic stabilization adds noise (unlike mechanical/optical stabilization which does not add noise).

- Try to hold the phone a still as possible while taking the picture.

That said, keep in mind that any small sensor camera like what you have in any phone is not going to perform well without good lighting. However the S3 should be one of the best of the phone cameras.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n70shan:
yes u r right that while using antishake option it produces noise thats y its off by default!! and u r wrong that it is blurry bcoz if antishake is off my gs3 takes noise free perfect pictures its has a gud BSI sensor (Cmos) try not to shake ur hands while taking pic.!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clin81:
contrast is not automatic...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1rtu4l:
automatic contrast does lead to more noise on mine (judging from the preview window)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clin81:
Yes, In the dark the noise Is more high with automatic contrast...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunercrab:
my first gs3 phone's pictures were immaculate in doors and out, but i had overheating issues so i got a replacement...this new phones camera does this...too much noise, didn't have that with the first phone :( the replacement phones case came damaged so i'm hoping to exchange it once more...hopefully the next phone won't have this camera problem....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoOneCanHelpMe:
I have the same issue, I've been comparing the pics with my S2 and results are really bad indoor, except with flash. much better than S2 with flash! im really puzzled

I had posted here my cam firmware version, I'm wondering if it's the camera app or else :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androb0t:
:)okay....i am not sure whether you guys have knowledge about photography

exposure is measured by 3 component

ISO, shutter speed, and aperture

as long you have sufficient light (outdoor during daylight), lowest ISO will be used by the camera and it results no noise

ISO --- sensitivity to light

you will have noise or sometimes blur in door or low light situation...

that is because aperture of camera has opened wide then it results other two components compensate to maintain proper exposure

that will increase higher ISO (more noise) and shutter speed is slower to get more light ...

hope this explains why :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoOneCanHelpMe:
I dont think you understand that I have S3 and S2 with me and test them under the exactly same conditions and results are very different from all the tests of S3 on the web which clearly show that S3 takes better pics. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androb0t:
hm....it's hard to explain...unless you have DSLR and know how to do manual setting...

besides i am referring this to OP thread,NoOneCanHelpMe why there is camera blur and noise

[HTC Sensation] schmeichler:
I need to put my phone back to stock for warranty (no more touchscreen)...

What I did was to go s-off via Juopunutbear S-OFF NO VOID WARRANTY ROOT, installed clockwork-mod and rooted - never left stock ROM.

So factory reset is not a problem - but I need to restore bootloader.

From what I read the way to go ist to flash RUU - but I can not find the one I need:

3.32.111.11

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Or is there another way of flashing back only bootloader?

many thx!
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Download the stock RUU from this thread, you will have to scroll down to "3) If You wish to download the ICS TMOUS RUU" and click on either of the links for it.
[HTC Sensation] schmeichler:
thx - but this is 3.32.531.14 and for the 4G (I have a german T-Mobile Sensaiton) - or am I not getting how to only restore bootloader part?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
No that is my bad I thought you were needing the T-Mobile US stock ROM. I think you will have to flash back to the stock Gingerbread ROM (look here for it). But if your touch screen is not working you may not be able to flash the OTA for ISC after you use the RUU. You can try this post form this thread. The thread is on the T-Mobile Poland OTA and the post I linked has a download for it. Remember you will have to flash the stock recovery, download it from here.
[HTC Sensation] schmeichler:
well.. maybe I am mixing things up here

version-bootloader: 1.27.0000

I never flashed any bootloader? 'recovery' is the menu I get in to with vol- + power? and is a seperate flash?

Then this would be the only thing I need to change back and then go s-on again?

Stock ROM is still on my device...

Is this correct?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Well If you are not rooted and you have not flashed a custom kernel you might be okay to just flash the stock recovery back and then S-on your device. But I highly recommend you flash either a RUU or the OTA update before you use " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to GO back to S-on. If you do not there is a chance you will soft brick your device and have to use the "Unbricking Project" to unbrick your device.
[HTC Sensation] schmeichler:
ok - this might sound paranoid - but doing OTA with same device a 2nd time would just be like saying 'yeah - I've been flashing...' / and as you say, OTA will not be possible without touchscreen

I would like to go 'stock recovery' but the link you posted 380MB must be more than that - or is there a 'recovery.img' within there somewhere? (Can't be flashing a polish ROM...)

thx
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
As long as you have the correct stock ROM on your device, no matter if it is Gingerbread or ICS , and you are not S-off. It does not matter if you have been flashing. I think Samsunge is the only OEM with Flash counters in thier devices. Do this so it can make this for me. Post all your device info here for me. Rom version, firmware version, radio, device model ID, your CID, and kernel. This is the stock Gingerbread ROM for you, "RUU_Pyramid_TMO_DE_1.45.111.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01". The TMO_DE is what tells me that as that is the T-Mobile code for Germany. The Recovery I linked you to cam straight from the T-Mobile US stock Gingerbread Recovery and is the same exact link that is in this thread because it is hosted from my Dev Host account.
[HTC Sensation] schmeichler:
well - I was trying to figure out if recoveries were compatilbe / interchangable if I could only flash recovery_signed.img from the older RUU or a different 3.32 RUU

then again - why risk it - I flashed 1.45.111.2

I thinks its not very likely I never did the OTA - but who is going to prove otherwise right?

THX - phone will be swapped tomorrow...

Hey guys my cousin gave me his Xperia X8 to remove the SIMLOCK from. Its an Xperia X8. I found this guide however the programs included arent working for:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436957

It says that the phone must have manufacturing code 11W28 and below and the Xperia X8 I have got it 11W22

It says run s1tool and click DO JOB. However the s1tool has been updated and when I click identify and connect Xperia X8 when turned off as well as pressing the back button nothing appears within S1Tool. So I cant continue the remaining steps.

The phone is not unlocked and runs stock SE Firmware.

FYI: I am trying to unlock the bootloader and then remove network lock. Im just saying this so you clever guys know what my objective is

Thanks in advance :)

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3493119:
Yeah, its possible, you should try it:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderX:
You can safely unlock the BL on yoyr phone. Here is what you have to do in order for S1tool to read your phone properly.

1. Install the Flash mode and ADB drivers for your phone. These drivers are bundled with Flashtool, just download and install Flashtool (link in dev section) and then go into the drivers folder and install. Then reboot your computer.

2. Turn off your phone. Then go into S1tool and click identify. Press and hold the back button while connecting your phone to the computer via USB cable. A green led light should appear to indicate that your phone has entered flash mode. S1tool should then start identification.

You can unlock a sim-locked phone's bootloader.

Hi guys, can somebody confirm that if I unlocked my phone by Omnius than if I unlock it with S1Tool then it will work? There are a lot of discussions about this on the net but it is not clear. On many sites written that I will lose the network signal or the radio if I do it...or the sim-lock will be restored again...So if somebody know this please write a clear answer for example:

Yes you can unlock it with S1Tool without any problem or

Yes you can unlock it with Omnius without any problem or

No because...

Hey guys,

I'll be receiving my spanking new US version of the Galaxy S3 next week. I'm sure I'll enjoy Touchwiz for a week or two but doubtless soon after the flashaholic inside of me will rear its ugly head.

Will the ROM's that are currently available on XDA be compatible with the US versions of the phone?

What about the rooting method? Will that work?

Thanks in advance!

However, when I go to recovery menu , I'm not seeing CWM menu & only seeing "Android System Recovery (3e)".

A friend of mine suggested my boot loader needs to be unlocked.

Reading google it seems when we switch to download mode & connect to USB on PC, using ADB command "fastboot oem unlock" it should be done.

But the command is < Waiting for a device > , I can see "adb devices" reporting valid entries when in download mode.

Any suggestions....how to get CWM working ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
So I was wondering if I could just go through a nAndroid and delete all the system data, and only leave the apps folder --- I know its more complicated than that --- turn it into a zip and install the zip in recovery, and use this to restore apps, rather than having to reboot, install titanium, etc... just have a standard restore app file created from a nAndroid that automatically does all the my user apps.

I'm sure playing with this is tempting fate with the hassles of having to re-wipe and re-rom or whatever...

the goal is to have a flashable zip ready to go so I can install test roms, and restore my user apps more quickly between each test...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phositadc:
You can selectively restore apps from a nandroid backup using titanium backup. But it sounds like you want a recovery flashable zip. I don't know how to do that.

-Sent from a GSM Galaxy Nexus (RAScream+Trinity).-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
When you go to Backup and Restore. Go to advanced restore and restore just the data. This will give you all your apps and such.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scottspa74:
I think making a flashable zip of selected apps can also be done using titanium BU. It has wwaaaayyyyy more features than I could/would ever use. I've had the pro version a few years, and dont know how to use half its features. Anyhow, you might look there.

Also, I know if you have a partitioned SD card and using apps2sd, when you do a nand backup, you can backup and restore sd-ext, keeping all apps in tact. Not sure what the equivalent would be without removable storage.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
This will often cause boot loops when going between incompatible ROMs.

But yeah, a TB restore from nandroid is a reasonable solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] govindadas:
cool! thanks for the info!

So it is possible, what I am suggesting, or by using clockworkmod or titanium to selectively restore data only from a nAndroid, but can create problems.

Is it possible to delete all non-user-app data from the nAndroid data backup? I mean restoring system-app data could be problematic, but restoring user-app data shouldn't be problematic, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
I don't know about deleting system app data from the nandroid backup.

I do know that when restoring with TB from a nandroid, you can choose to select missing apps only, which means it won't attempt to restore data to any apps you already have. And then if there are any individual apps you missed when doing that, you can go in again and restore just those.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
If you're on GSM (I think you are since there are no CDMA Notes), then the Nexus is probably your best bet. I had a nexus, then a note, then an i9100, and, in my opinion, the note was the worst for me.

The black splotches is also a byproduct of the screen tech, but all of these were much more noticeable on my note. Black crush especially. The Nexus is better for games in my opinion, it is easier to hold. The note is great for web browsing though.
