Update ***

Apparently there were a batch of HTC one X 's that went out on the initial run that had battery issues and 4.1.1 update causes those particular phones to fry the battery and motherboard on the upgrade to 4.1.1. It does not happen initially but will will die after a hard boot. HTC replaced the battery and mainboard with the newer version and returned it no charge. FYI when its returned you get an new imei so make sure you update that for warranty.

Thanks HTC
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezeubby:
I have a friend which have a htc one x+ and his aspect ratio when taking photo is 16:9 . How can i do that on my s3?

Srry for my english .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCraig:
Use the 6MP camera setting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezeubby:
But that setting doesn't deincrease the photo quality ? So what is the best option , 16:9 or 4:3 for a professional photographer ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erto90:
The one x+ do the same.. Decrease to 6mpx..

Professional photogtapher? Think 4:3 but is a too expand world to riassume all in 2 ratios xD
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brano.prco:
may I ask for hint how to enable longer notification of diverted / forwarded call as this pop up is displayed only for 2 seconds?

or, is there any free app which will handle it?

hi guys,

im not photographer , but today when i compare my HOX with SGS3 result made me upset a bit .

tried under the different lighting positions , all were good with SGS3.

have been using for 2 years IncredibleS , pics were much better than HOX .

any ideas agree or disagree wit me ?
[HTC One X] mando508:
Hox has very good camera module, you need to play a bit with settings. On auto sometimes it's crappy.
[HTC One X] alicine:
SGS3 was in an electronic market and was demo machine, every1 was playing with it. so it was not setted up correctly, all settings were from factory setup .

i used to my Incredible S factory setup , result was amazing.

please could you give me an example setup conf for HOX.

as i said before im not expert but i neigher like front and back.
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
It is rubbish compared to xperia T
[HTC One X] Mr_S:
You can't compare the two

AW: why HOX camera is not good *

You shouldn't use widescreen mode in widescreen mode you don't have 8mpx you will have just 6 mpx set sharpness to -1 and iso to 100 and this should be the best config for the hox
[HTC One X] batna.antab:
Mpx doesn't mean nothing... It's all about the lens, sensor and f.
[HTC One X] mr.axan:
Use some camera tweak and then you will see some changes.
[HTC One X] mando508:
Personally i'm using sharpness -2, iso & exposure depends on situation and after photo is taken i'm correcting white balance (not always) in editor (because in camera options htc didn't include all AWB settings :<). Photos are grainy but there is a lot of details... overall it's a decent shooter with really clever interface.
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
I'm a real photographer in real life.. and I always play a lot with my toy camera a.k.a LOMO that still using negative as module.. and what I saw here is modern people style thinking.. my friend, my sensei(teacher) tell me this.. 'a good photo come from a good photographer, not a good camera'.. just use iyapota mod..

and here is sunny day configuration,,

exp = +1

cont = +2

Sat = +1

sharp = +1

ISO = 'it sunny, so test it with low iso 1st and make sure when you are using camera, turn you phone brightness to max so you can see if the photo failed'

Hope this help a little.. For night or dark.. we need a better sensor to focus.. so I always bring torch with me so I can light up subject for focusing before I snap. :)
[HTC One X] alicine:
shouldnt i select widescreen ?
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
It all up to you.. it doesn't matter wide or not.. I always use wide.. just make sure you shooting with correct light sources.. that actually what every photographer should know.. low light will giving you a great picture sometime with our f2.0 aperture but any picture still need correct light value to light up photo.. So keep try to find a good and compatible setting for you need. And don't compare picture when it still in phone.. better use pc to see the real quality of a picture. And you need to love the camera so you can learn to use it. :) Here some sample.

Auto Mode

Sunset Mode

Low Light Panorama

HDR

Or just head to this Thread to see how great our camera if we know how to use it well

Hope it help you. :)
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Are you sure about this? The many comparisons I have seen online always show the One X having deeper colours and less noise in low light. Pictures taking on the S3 seem a little... bland.
[HTC One X] fizzlington:
My last phone was an IncS and I have to say the HOX outperforms it. While the megapixels are the same, the quality of the lens is better and the image chip in the HOX is better and produces better photos.

Regardless, if I need to take any photos, I use my dslr.
[HTC One X] alicine:
u meaning Incredible S worse than HOX ?
[HTC One X] omondisingh:
I Agree. I think anything over 8MP will only look good on big screens such as TV's. Have a look at this: http://gizmodo.com/5888552/reminder-megapixels-dont-matter
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Yup! Correct! It actually need to base on our purpose 1st before saying it is good or not.. Let me give you a situation.. You need to snap 100 of people in one picture.. And you'll need to use a higher mp so when we try to zooming closer when viewing in pc or media viewer it will not have distort face.. :)
[HTC One X] omondisingh:
Exactly. All that matters is a bigger lens to capture more light, type of sensor and focal ratio
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
Desire hd camera IS THE BEST HTC has made to date it leaves the hox dragging behind faraway with it image processor and fast shutter ( nobody cares about how fast they take the shot HTC but rather the end result picture quality)

the s3's camera is worst :D ...i made a photo with s3 and my hox and the s3 was way worse then my hox....
[HTC One X] omondisingh:
Night shots are the worst on the S3. I like HDR and Low light mode on my HOX but a slight movement blurs the picture.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
like i said hox has a better camera then s3 ...on s3 all was "rubbish" but on hox also without mod really good :p
[HTC One X] SgtIcetea:
I think the camera is pretty good, and comparisations to s3 are not the best way to test because samsungs amoled is really awesome :)
[HTC One X] alicine:
i guess thats why i have realised S3 has better camera quality right ?

actually screen was much better*
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Ever know One X screen is the best phone screen to the date? Maybe all of you love the s3 amoled color produce..
[HTC One X] qazibasit:
My note has a slow but a better camera than hox, but some people have posted really great imagea from hox and this gicea me a feeling as if there are multiple camera version on different distros.
[HTC One X] lcampori:
so what?

this is just pixel count, which is meaningless for picture quality unless you want to heavily crop your pictures or need huge resolution for huge prints.

htc's camera is crap because it is. high noise and low dynamic range are its biggest problem (mainly DR). these problems are not software related, they are real hardware issues. no matter what app you use, results are similar. insanely small sensors as those used for smartphones all have these issues. with sensors this small, 4mpixel (or even less) are way better. a lot better. but you're not going to buy a 4mp smartphone nowadays, are you? 3mp are enough for a A4 (letter) print at 180dpi, by the way, which is more than enough for a print on a wall at normal view distance-

in the attachment you can clearly see heavy highlight clipping on the girl's (my daughter :) ) cheeck and shirt. that's the result of low dynamic range. waaaaaayyyy low.

that's why I alse have always a real camera with me. And the second pic comes from that (a 150euros used panasonic GF1). Same scene, same light conditions, same girl :). HOX's camera is crap, as any other smartphone camera, it is just enough for facebooks uploads.

sorry for the panny's pics being slightly out of focus on the girl's face (it is on the pants instead) these were just taken to show the insane difference in dynamic range (and noise, and sharpness, and contrast, and color rendition, and and and...)
[HTC One X] qazibasit:
Huge diff b/w a real camera and smartphone.
[HTC One X] lcampori:
indeed. I replied to someone who was assessing quality based on pixel count, and tried to explain why it's nonsense, and I showed what exactly "low dynamic range" means since it is the #1 reason why hox camera is a crap.

I cannot understand why people keep complaining about image quality or worrying about a smartphone camera not being good, or z being better or worse than x. "it does not focus... has a green tint.. not enough megapixels, bla bla bla". buy a 50$ used panny g1, and use that instead or live with bad image quality.

photography today is still mainly about optics, not software. on the hox there is a fixed aperture lens mounted on a microbic sensor. even a gazillion pixel megasmartphone sucks when you pretend it to be a camera. it's not, it's a phone.
[HTC One X] davidflam:
Image Sensor Size

Guys,

one of the factors that most affects picture quality is the image sensor size from the device. Larger size = better quality. Every phone has a small image sensor size when compared to a standalone camera, even the point an shoot ones.
[HTC One X] lcampori:
well, not exactly.

what really matters is pixel density. the lowest the better, other things equal. a 1"x1" 4mpx sensor has the same pixel density as a 2"x2" 16mpx sensor . other things equal, picture quality is the same, apart from resolution. same noise and same dynamic range.
[HTC One X] TheRippingGhost:
Agreed with you ... All the previous phones i owned had better camera quality. My 3mp Nokia 5800 had better images. I know it had Carl Zeiss but still they are like 2-3 years apart.
[HTC One X] qazibasit:
Your right camera results sometimes never is up to the specs. But the problem isbthat e cant keep multiple devices with us all the time.

So smartphone camera is a must to have. These vendors need to focus on these things rather than just raising the MP of the camera.
[HTC One X] junialum:
Megapixels mean nothing. Ok maybe if you want to shoot a photo that gets printed as a banner covering a 2-3 storey building.
[HTC One X] :
Actually, the DNA has the screen with the highest PPI, and before the DNA it was the Rezound since 2011....How is the HOX screen the best again?
[HTC One X] alicine:
have spend 1000 bucks (USD in TURKEY ) for HOX , if im buying the most expensive mobile and its not satisfy my requests then i complain about image quality.

i have 2 good cameras (Nikon-Fujifilm 8mpx) i bought them for takin pics when i available carry of them.

carrying out a mobile is easier than a Camera :)
[HTC One X] nashshafrulrezza:
Highest ppi doesn't mean good mate.. :) just search all over the web about screen comparison.. still hox have a better screen.. even just 720p..
[HTC One X] jigners:
because something else is better:silly::silly:

like the Galaxy Note 2:p:p
[HTC One X] lcampori:
that's exactly my point. buying a 1000$ phone (really??? really that expensive in Turkey???) pretending it's also a good camera and complaining you're not getting a good image quality.

you know, there's a reason why some people hover around with bags with cameras and lenses, image quality. if you're complaining about IQ just because you spent 1000$, well, you have wasted your money. but, even after spending that much, if you know that there are design limitations and your expectations are reasonable, you can learn how to get reasonable results. more than enough for social networks for sure.

Are they are rugged cases for the Surface yet? Or any Windows RT tablets? Seems like Windows Tablets are getting no love.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Not seen any, just using a folio I picked up from Amazon for now, the Pro will hopefully get something a bit more hardcore though.
[Microsoft Surface] jonsnowboard:
I'm using a very nice sleeve case from Amazon that fits really well and doesn't add much at all to the size. Not ruggedized but does offer padded protection and fits with touch cover attached:

From what I've experienced and heard, however, you don't really need one. Heck, CNET dropped one from about ten feet, landed it on the edge, and it was almost undamaged!

Yeah I've heard about them being left on the roof of cars, better safe than sorry, also gives you places to put stuff of you get one with flaps and stuff..

then i installed superSU

then was installing revolt when it happened
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Ok so you used cwm.zip from the sd card to get cwm recovery. The you flash supersu. You got root. Then how did you get cwm?

If you have flashed the rom using cwm.zip, the phone is probably bricked.

I don't have my first coffee finished and so maybe I'm too sensitive right now. But why are the numbers of people using CWM.zip and getting into trouble raising?

So he should do the same as other members in the last days: check the eMMC and if bricked use the repartition workaround (see hg42's thread for detailed informations and howtos).

Or send the device to Samsung for a motherboard replacement and complete repair.

Edit: better to follow a hint that	nokiamodeln91 gave before to another "bricker". In that case it helped. Use the e2fsck-method for check and possible repair. See the thread here for the help and details nokiamodeln91 gave in the other case.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

If what you install using cwm.zip does not have a wipe command (installing supersu, rooting) , you could survive using it. But when you install a rom or perform a wipe, it's going to do all sorts of bad things to your phone.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:

Search in XDA for the "site name" and see if some members tell something about them.

If I would brick my device (until now I was lucky), I would bite the bullet (I checked Leo.org for the translation of "in den sauren Apfel beissen") and send it to Samsung for repair.

Even if they make the workaround for this money you'll never have a fully working device again.

What exactly does this mean for us and rooting? The law seems extremely vague. Any answer would be greatly appreciated

Your post is extremely vague also. I have no idea what you're even asking
[Nexus 10 General] duarian:
Pretty sure he is talking about unlocking cell phones becoming illegal on Saturday.

Means nothing to us tablet users. Our tablets aren't phones. From my understanding its more to prevent people from using phones on networks they aren't meant for.
[Nexus 10 General] enik_fox:
Read some news. Its all over everything unless you happen to know of another law kicking into gear on the 26th.

Thanks for the response. The wording is just so... Special its hard to make heads or tails of it.
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
Please elaborate, what the **** is wrong with those bastards? I bought my device and I do whatever I want with it.:mad:
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
And you still can but what this prevents you from doing is unlocking your phone and walking over to competing mobile provider B. and activating a phone with them that was originally only meant to work on mobile provider A. This is actually a good thing for Google.
[Nexus 10 General] Fidelator:
Actually this is just made to screw us customers and to help huge corporations in their never ending quest to get more money off us.

If someone buys a phone with a provider and switches it's because said provider didn't fit the needs of the customer needs, having choices is not bad at all.

The damn government is full of selfish bastards that just care about filling their pockets with bribes, this clearly doesn't help anyone.

Here is an article and snippet that mentions tablets:

"Digital Millennium Copyright Act will make it illegal to jailbreak and unlock phones. According to the act, it is illegal to unlock both tablets and phones without permission from your wireless provider. ... Unfortunately, that window closes on Saturday, January 26th."

Of course any tablet without cell network connectivity or purchased from a cell provider is exempt.

so does this leave cyanogen mod in a tight spot? or can we still swap roms and stick with the current carrier?

[Nexus 10 General] Dagrog:
I agree it's a crock. Do we purchase the phone/tablet or rent it? If we are truly purchasing the phone then all they SHOULD be able to do is void our warranty.
[Nexus 10 General] HillsRider:
This has nothing to do with rooting your phone or switching roms. The interpretation of the law is saying that you cannot take (for example) an AT&T phone that you bought on contract and unlock it to run on T-mobile without AT&T's permission. If you cancel your contract or it is up, AT&T says they will give you the unlock then.
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
Exactly.. It's not unfair, the `man' isn't holding you down and it's definitely not aliens..
[Nexus 10 General] wolficus:
Wasn't really worried about them holding me down... was more of a question of what is allowed and isn't... damn wording is so vague... i prefer the cyanogen roms... typically run much better than stock.

I honestly dont think this law will be enforced.
[Nexus 10 General] jalize:
Here in South Africa its illegal for the cellphone providers to lock the phones to the network. I guess lucky us.
[Nexus 10 General] Dagrog:
The provider sates "purchasing" the phone, and we all sign contracts with stated penalties for early termination. So basically they were able to convince the gov't to make a law to change the contract we already had with the provider.
[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
This isnt talking about rooting your phone, it is about unlocking which network it can be connected to. There are probably less than 1% of people in the US who ever unlock their phone to move them to a different carrier. Everyone in the US buys a new phone with a new contract, and most of the pay as you go stuff is unlocked anyway since you have to enter the APN info yourself or have a service rep do it.

The law itself is retarded and unneeded, and also shouldnt be within the realm of what government is allowed to say you can or cant do. But really it makes not one bit of different to just about anyone.
[Nexus 10 General] Tesla67:
From my knowledge you can only do that on gsm anyways. CDMA networks tend to have dif frequencies that they operate on.
