Jesus Christ, how do you guys manage to take such awesome photos with the phone, anybody care to share any tips? all my photos come out as such garbage, so much noise. feels like the camera on this thing is actually worse than the galaxy s ii imo. any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
Same here, but I think it all has to do with lighting.. so best shots only come out when your basically outside in the sun.

I'm not sure if you mind edited photos but if you take shots inside with not a lot of lighting, using the instagram filters actually make the photo really slick imo. I took a few photos of my guitar that were being up for sale and the photos just didn't come out as I wanted and tried the instagram effects and came out surprisingly really good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jxs1984:
Good photos but I would like to see some low-light/night photos without flash! Any challenger(s)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brekec88:
Let's just say it's not pretty. Gs3 had a good camera. Poor low light performance though...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
I actually took some indoors and very dark outdoor pics with no flash.. Picture quality = Almost HORRIBLE... iso is locked at iso1600, lots of noise, dark objects normally are all silhouettes and never has any details to it.. The autofocus is a complete joke, never get a focus lock unless the environment is lit almost nicely (such as indoors)... And since there is no manual focus, you just have to use the whatever focus the GS3 camera gives you with the red box on it.... Will post it tonight or tomorrow...

In nicely lit places and daytime, it performs pretty good (with the EXCEPTION OF washed out Blue colors especially on bright blue objects such as the sky, and slightly saturated greens such as leaves foilage, check my OP pictures)

Also, all the LED flash units on camera phones are a complete joke.. The flash is not enough brightness especially when outdoors or indoors in a larger dark room... Not to mention, the LED flash has EXTREME lag... It is not too fast to freeze any fast moving objects in dimmer lights, and iso is always iso500 or above... Shutter lag on these camera phones is probably is problem... I had an old Nokia with xenon flash, and yes the flash is brighter and faster, and I can actually do flash sync with my Canon Speedlite external flash units, but the shutter is lagging and the results are not very pleasant. My slave Canon flash fired the flash wayyy too fast for the camera phone's shutter....

The only use for my LED flash on my phones is either to take photos of close objects in a smaller slightly dimmer room, or using it as an emergency power outage flashlight (that is until I either find the circuit breaker or my bigger handheld flashlight unit)...

Is that a heron?

great hdrs ^_^ and the sky no longer look washed out.. The only issue is that hdr option takes a little bit of time to process...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ibanezbass:
Thanks! I'm not really sure what it is lol I just was trying to get pictures of everything while I was there :laugh: I didn't think the sky really looked washed out in my regular photos though. It has some clear definition of the horizon across the water. I suppose all the blues look similar toward the top of the ocean picture though. HDR is great though. It is a bit of an annoyance that i have to wait 5-15 seconds for processing, but well worth the quality and the $3 for the app :o
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
I really like that beach photo. It seems like the GS3 camera handled that Sunset like a champ as expected.. ocean waves and the sand seems interesting.. The shape of the sand looks like it is part of the ocean wave, and that single person silhouette under sun is nice.

I am uploading some of the night shooting test I did with the SG3 right now.. Will post in 5 mins.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
Updated the OP:

ISO1600

ISO500

ISO80

Nightshots without LED flash, autofocus is broken, and the focus is completely messed up.. Touch to focus, it is hard to get the green box on the focus.. If you do get the green box, the focus is broken... I tried to touch to focus at night, it says green and focused, but the viewfinder is a blur...

Shots from low light is nothing to write home about.. At iso1600, the pictures are very grainy, and without the correct autofocus, the shots are almost unusable on a standard computer monitor or even 4x5" prints..

Indoors with a single 40W light source seems to perform better. At iso500, the door picture seems to retain most of the details, with a bit of grain..

In the second indoor shot, there is a single table lamp in a dark study room... The auto iso at iso 80, most of the 2B pencil marks are visible at full resolution (click on thumbnail), and even the objects in the shadow or with darker colors, the noise remains at minimum.. At about this light for indoors, the camera performs pretty decent.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RowanDDR:
Please teach me about modems. :)

I'm on CM9 nightlies but my modem seems to be an old one from the Gingerbread days (XXJVK). Data reception is often poor so I'd like to try a newer modem.

How do I choose a newer/better modem? I'm thinking of just flashing a UK one from the latest official stock Gingerbread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804682) to see if its any better.

I've not been able to find clear information or instructions about which modems are compatible with CM9 or how to flash them.

How can I backup/restore my current modem? Nandroid backup, or is there a quicker way that just backs up the modem?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Just note down the details of your baseband and firmware in about phone, that will be good enough to get back to it, if ever you want it by flashing them again, by downloading them again. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881

Go here and download the modem for your location and flash it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158783
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RowanDDR:
Thanks for the advice but this raises further questions. Which of the modems in that thread is the newest/best, which is for "my region" (I am in London), and are they CM9 compatible (they all say CM7 in the filename).

Odin must be used to flash a modem? I thought it can be done from recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
read the header, its good for CM 7 and CM 9, only you need to identify the modem by the last three alphabets, which can be same as the ROM/modem you are using or you can compare with the firmware list for Europe modems to select

these (CM7/CM 9 modems) are .zip files so you can just use update.zip from SD card but original gingerbread modems are in .tar format and has to be flashed with odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RowanDDR:
OK, I'm still a bit unclear. How can I return to XXJVK after flasing? this one? radio-cm-7-GalaxyS-JVK-signed.zip

Three alphabet letters same as my rom/modem? Well my rom is CM9 nightly so no 3 alpha characters there. My modem is JVK but the JVK isnt a reference to my country, thats the XX bit? And XX 2 characters is not anywhere in these modem filenames. If I flash from JVK modem to JVK modem what have I achieved, nothing?
