Macro Shots Blurry

Hi,

Im new here. I recently bought Galaxy Grand. My problem is about camera. It cant do macro shot or any picture in close range about 10cm to 20cm from camera to object. It seems like it can't focus, all picture i take blurry..

Already try Text Scene Mode, Macro Focus mode, also try using Camera360 apps also same.

Before this im using Galaxy W, its no problem at all can focus until green rectangle, and after that shot. This one cannot..

Dont know whether my phone camera is faulty or it is normal for everybody

Sorry for my english. Hope you all can share. Tq

It all depends on samsung and/or broadcomm to release the sources and drivers. If they dont even developers cant do anything about it.

hi @all

recently also got a i9082, like it so far.

i had a Galaxy note before, but i really need the Dual Sim option...

sure, you cannot compare it to the Note, but for what i need it is ok (i just wish they had used a better screen and gave us a larger battery).

my gripes so far:

USB otg not working, even though its advertised.. biiiiiig letdown. is there any chance that this is just kernel problem or is the usb hardware not "complete"?

240 DPI is really odd after having the Note for more than a year. i wish Samsung would make their apps multi dpi so you could easily change ( eg to 180 - the screen is big enough and i would like to take advantage of it)

other than that its a really nice mobile (even more so considering the price) and it saved me from resorting to "chinese" rip off Dual Sim phones.

not bashing those, its just really hard to get a decent one and if you get a lemon your in trouble.

also i have to admit that i really like Samsungs Touchwiz, everytime i use a different Android i notice how much i am used to Nature UX - this is my 4th Samsung from the Galaxy family and my 5th Samsung overall - before that i was a firm believer in Nokia and had around 7 or 8 Nokias, i also had some Blackberries at work but the Samsung Android experience is what is good for me.

Dual Sim is what got me started with Samsung, and i really appreciate that they are making this Grand available in Europe also.

sure - if we could easily buy a Galaxy Note 2 Duos i would have gotten that, but that is not going to happen anytime soon unfortunately.

maybe they will reconsider with the Note 3 and if they do a Duos of that also it will be available in Europe i hope.

long post... sorry but i guess i tried to get everything in here.

love to see that there are some devs working on the Grand and i encourage them to keep going!

If you are on stock Rom, there is no need to backup, as the firmware is available for download from Samsung...just download it from Samsung to keep it handy.

Your apps, accounts and contacts are backed up with Google, in your Google account (please enable sync).

Use SMS Backup, and Call Backup to backup your SMS' and Call logs, to restore later.

update with pre-rooted (to be on the safer side did not deodex the firmware, but I have got one deodexed system.img too

seriously bro , i think I have to change the Topic to "Galaxy Grand HUB" so that this topic stays alive!

If we lack dev support I will post some really interesting sites and tutorials for those who are interested in development of grand! this should create some pace to our community! Lol

--**--**--**--**--**--**--**--**

Status :

-Rooted firmware is ready, 18&19 I have last 2 exams will upload it after the last exam(can't touch Pc now)

-I can't test the firmware(my bin counter is already 4 because I tried to port cwm) so gta112010 will test and report

-cwm got booted(keys dont work properly and can't mount system and data) so you can think of custom roms coming to us

-Iam afraid we will loose dual sim capability if we try custom Roms still researching not sure

Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I9082

That's a shame. They're probably busy with more mainstream devices. Grand has only been launched in India and a couple of other countries. Not in the main European and American markets.

Anyways, please post the tutorials and learning links like you said. I would definitely like to do some development for this device. I have C and C++ experience, but am new to Android programming.

Thanks and good luck!

i agree with u....developing for a device which is new is tiresome and tedious job.

and u r right u should rename the title to grand duos hub....

mine is one. as i accidentally flash note 2 root recovery through odin and then i reflash india official rom .
