You should have put in in rice before you try anything.

Maybe hard-brick the phone and tell them you don't know what happened :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] howlingmoon12:
Not sure myself, I personally knocked over a cup of tea and I'm fairly sure some of the water got in around the home button.I dried the water immediately, and the phone was powered on, so I just kind of left it. I have driving mode turn on-off randomly for a day, usb connecting even when not connected and randomly and random shutdowns for a month. Seems all fine now.

Hows it going guys I just got my Galaxy S3 on Black Friday. I used to come on XDA to download ROMs for my HTC Touch a long time ago. I got out of the custom roms for a while to be safer with my phones and no free time but I decided now that I got my S3 I'd go back to working on my phone a little more and I plan to root my S3 later in the week and probably flashing some ROMs pretty soon. i just wanted to say thanks for all the great resources you guys have spent time putting on this site!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] potna:
Welcome to the gs3 family. Enjoying your new phone is going to be easy. I android is so sweet compared to the old touch pro phones you may find you only need to root. I I usually end up with with some CM rom but for stock rooted rom is good enough for me for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ou2mame:
I just got this phone last week and didn't plan on doing anything but rooting it for wifi tether and debloating, but the damn thing kept crashing and freezing every 5 minutes, even before rooting it. It literally didn't run it would just freeze up, so I had to go looking for a different copy of my rom, ended up going with the freegs3 rom due to its ota upgrading and lack of crazy theming and whatnot. Now it's fine. The only thing that really bothers me is the keyboards because I'm a huge fan of the phonepad but the t9 doesn't work. Thanks samsung. It's no htc, but it'll do haha

anyways, good luck :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
Try SwiftKey, it's the best keyboard I've used.

Outlook.com does not support photos being directly added to contacts. Their official stance is that when you add a contact to your outlook.com list, you get their image from their social service. However, this misses the point that many people do not have images on their social sites, or they aren't on a social site themselves.

See Microsoft's Outlook.com community forum for a thread called "how to add photos to contacts"

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M2oSa:
Hey there,

I know that the Nexus 4 is an aweome phone...

But I took some pictures recently and the quality is Okay.

I am coming from a One X, and we had a Camera Mod that made the pictures awesome.

I was wondering if we could see a similar mod coming on the Nexus 4?

Here are some pictures that I took

As you can see, it's just okay... I'd say below average...

I'm not complaining, it's a $299 phone and I'm happy with it... Just think that some tweaks or mods could make it better

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
Im hoping that some like the sensation 4g camera mod comes out, that would be nice
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clayjohn:
As someone pointed out to me, HTC, Samsung, etc. and their respective "skins" (Sense, TouchWiz) are what pack those image capturing features. Google has much less invested into the camera scene than say, HTC with their "ImageSense" technology.

Could Google fix this? I suppose, though I don't know if they will. I've pondered the same questions as yourself.

My N4 is still on backorder, though I've been wondering what affect using something like CameraZoom FX would have. The N4's camera hardware is top notch, it's the software that's lacking. Maybe an app fixes that some, maybe not (I've yet to try).

Another thought is download Snapseed (used it, love it). I would think the stock N4 camera software + Snapseed would yield pleasant photos (but again, I do not have mine yet and am unable to perform any of these tests).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotorious:

No this is gonna be the same as the nexus 7 video hack, it was 420p to 720p or something like that but it doesn't change anything with taking pictures.

I'm actually pretty happy with the camera, most point and shoot works this way, hell even photos taken from a dslr looks bland without at least light editing.

Better front camera would be nice.

Umm, does anybody know if the is a physical button to use to take pictures?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NardVa:
That's tha advantage of HTC and Samsung. They have image enhancing software to make their pictures better.

i very much hope this is something that is on Google's list for KLP along with display calibration. those are 2 things that can see further improvements, and would make the Nexus one hell of an overkill phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockeskidney:
i just rma'd my phone due to weird camera issues. It would launch into camera app and the screen would become unresponsive. strange.

i do know google barely touched the camera and the pictures that come out were pretty untouched. Also as we can see video recording is at a super low bitrate (???? not sure why they would make that decision)

hopefully this update fixes some of the weird issues where the camera constantly autofocuses and the focus ring stays on the picture after you take it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
The camera isn't a strong point on the N4. The colors look very washed out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inspiredwire:
Google may already know that their image quality isn't the best, thus their interest in the Kodak patent portfolio. It appears as though a number of these patents have already been licensed to other phone manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and Nokia.

That's one of the things that I'd like to be see fixed with some sort of mod, and I think it'd be reasonable to expect that it wouldn't be so far-fetched that it's not worth someone's time. In other words, I hope it's easy enough to do that someone does it.

Does anyone have any tips for getting the shutter to focus on where you've tapped it, instead of it going berserk and focus-unfocus-focus-unfocus-focus ad nausem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
OP, I highly recommend you take down the pictures with your license plate present and check if the uploader you used to host these pics scrubs meta info (gps coordinates etc). If you uploaded directly from your phone, the meta info is probably still available.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
Well, I guess someone could port over HTC's camera app but not its performance. HTC has a separate chip in their devices, ImageSense, and some other stuff going.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
I have no issues with dark photography. I just tested it. Did you tap the screen once to let it scan and focus first before taking the photo? I find that if I simply just tap the take-a-pic button, the flash timing is off. But if I tap on where I want it to focus first, you'll see a brief flash. Then press the blue button and the picture will come out fine. I just tested several in the complete darkness photo and it was more than adequate in terms of color and reproduction for a pitch black room.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netsyd:
Couldn't find anything I disagree with here. Coming from an iPhone which took pretty good pictures to this is a bit tough, but as you mentioned it is plenty acceptable for the price of the device.

Hell the more I use the nexus 4 the more I think we all got a steal of a deal from Google. Of course that isn't gong to stop me from wishing it did some things a bit better!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M2oSa:
True !

Hope devs come with something soooon !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
it does pretty good in hdr mode. i just wish it could do the processing in the background rather than making me wait to take another pic.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijeff:
I agree the camera is acceptable for the price but it is definitely not a flagship level of quality. It is noticeably worse than the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, and HTC One X.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
Really? Mine seems to process almost instantly.

OP, using the HDR makes a huge difference.

My dirty car using regular and HDR.

Regular

HDR

Overcast using auto for the regular.

At this point in almost going to just leave HDR on for the camera.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stretched:
The HDR looks decen't. Maybe it's all in my head but I think my SGS3 did better at photos
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
i am sure it did/does. just saying the hdr photos are a lot better for the nexus. and the only way to use this camera in low light situations.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desynch-:
You're not the only one that feels that way. I almost feel a bit cheated when I saw how capable the N4 was at taking photos.

But that's why I kept my SGS3, because there are a lot of things the SGS3 has that the N4 doesn't. Couldn't fathom living without it at this point.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M2oSa:
I'll just leave the HDR one then :)

Ahhhh, can't wait for the first camera tweak !!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I installed LG Camera from the market and it seems much better. Although HDR mode on the Nexus 4 Camera is very good.

What I have noticed is the aspect ration is wrong on the google camera so objects look squashed and also the built in camera struggles to focus on items over three or four feet from the camera when in low-ish light situations. Also taking a lot of photo's quickly, the photo's all come out differently, i.e. same lighting conditions, two pics with flash on can come out completely different.

The LG camera from the market seems to have none of these issues. Only issue with that is it leaves the preview on the screen momentarily so instant shots aren't possible unless there is a setting i've missed.

Lets hope google release a new app because the built in camera app is very very poor. It would put me off recommending the phone to someone.

Below is an image after the camera mod. Been using it since the other thread cam in. few issues flashing but fixed that up.

Note this is from the default camera, HDR mode, in pure cloudy snow weather, from a car window...Like probably the least optimal conditions and it turned out fantastic IMO. :good: In the sunlight it takes even better pics. Overall that mod is just what the doctor ordered.

It's a zip file due to forum limits, unzip to see - I didnt want to modify the image in any way. ;)

It's https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lg+camera but to be honest after intensive testing, it seems that the built in camera is pretty good. Mostly I use HDR mode and if that doesn't come out well enough, I use the flash although HDR seems the best option :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connorjolley:
Okay.

So, I have tried to UTSE on this and found a thread that directed me to flash a new radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116884) which I have done but the fastboot is still not letting my phone respond.

So...

My phone is a GT 19023.

I'd updated to jelly bean awhile ago but was having some serious performance problems and wanted to flash back down to ICS or GB. Of course, the recovery wasn't working so I went to Nexus Hacks and downloaded his recovery files, stupidly I didnt notice it was 4G specific (crespo4g), just that it was for ICS and JB. The recovery seemed to work ok, had the new touchscreen version, but then I tried to install a stock GB ROM from my SD card. At the end it seemed stuck on writing radio. Wasnt doing anything so assumed it was ok to reboot. When it rebooted every process was failing so I tried to do the fastboot flash recovery again and the phone just wouldnt respond.

Tht's where I am at now.

Saw another thread and got directed to the link above to flash the radio.

Did that, used the UCKF1 radio, no problems installed fine but the phone still won't respond to fastboot flash recovery using recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.

Can anyone point me in the right direction PRETTY PLEASE! I'm not a techie guy and its my only phone :crying:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
You did a lot wrong here. NEVER DO SOMETHING UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF IT

Also you flashed the wrong radio. I would suggest you to stop as where you are right now.

You need to go complete stock first, by flashing the factory image.

A bit off topic perhaps, but we all know in the EM App under Protocol you can select and fix in bands on the DVP.

Question is: Does selecting other bands allow you to theoretically switch between the frequencies, or is this a hardware/software restriction based on whether you got a Tmobile or At&t DVP?

I haven't had a chance to test this out, but has anyone with one or the other successfully got the other frequency 1700(AWS) or 1900(PCS) working, with 3G data?

This should mean that we get a 920 update for each "build" of the 920 that exists, once Nokia does whatever they do to it. They should have it from Microsoft (one would think) already.
[Nokia Lumia 920] cfhuk:
They will have it already, and it's in Nokia's interests to get it out fast and ideally beat HTC to the punch every time, as HTC have been set up as Premier Partners. Nokia want to be THE choice for WP8 buyers, so they need to be there first with the best reputation for updates and excellent hardware.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
Nokia obviously has that build available because the Lumia 920T (the chinese variant) is already running that newer build of the OS.
[Nokia Lumia 920] cfhuk:
true, must just be waiting for the rollout ok from carriers. I'll check my 8X to see if that's updating on EE, that way we should know if the carriers are slowing things down or not with a quick carrier vs unlocked update speed comparison.
