As I said, the Z had an update to massively improve the camera. Maybe the ZL you saw hadn't had this update?

But I would say the SP is an excellent phone for the money. SIM free in the UK from Clove, you can get it for £300. Most high end models will be £500-600 so that's a big saving.

My wife thinks the Z is too big and loves the SP, so I expect Sony should sell a fair few of them.

can someone upload SemcCameraUI.apk
[Xperia SP General] xPeRiA_RaVi:
SemcCameraUI.apk from SP :D
[Xperia SP General] the_helix:
Average

Though SP's camera does good in good lighting, in low light the images are downright bad. Superior auto is actually the worse performer than the normal mode. All these just don't cut for a device in it's price range. Hope a software update resolves the issue.

I still went for SP due to its Processor & GPU. It blows S3 & One X/X+ in benchmarks, gaming, web browsing etc. And besides one better use a good digicam for nice pics. The indoor party shots would be "ok" at best with any other camera phone unless its Nokia's PureView.
[Xperia SP General] jonmorris:
The intelligent auto was also terrible on the Z until subsequent updates addressed a number of issues. Hopefully the SP will get some attention here in due course.

In low light, the best mode is via SCN and selecting hand-held twilight. Not sure that's on the SP yet?
[Xperia SP General] DrumDub:
i'm getting my xperia sp in the next days here in germany. i alos hope that the bad quality of the pictures taken bei camera will be fixed with a firmware update. i can't really believe that the quality of the pictures is worse than with my sony ericsson xperia neo released in 2011.

sony ericsson xperia neo (2011)

[Xperia SP General] sss2sssss:
My friend's Xperia L is worse camera performance than my Xperia SP..lol

Most of the time I can take good pictures from my SP, but sometimes the picture quality is worse la...
[Xperia SP General] darth5zaft:
It's ok I guess, the picture in good lighting are vivid. Better than the one on Xperia V. But superior auto works great on XV not so much on XSP.

In low light, XV is far better. Not to mention in XV, the camera launch faster,
[Xperia SP General] phirman:
Compared to my xperia S, SP's camera fails to capture fast moving object, not to mention the noises :|
[Xperia SP General] inspirearun:
Reduce Colour Noise

Go to Normal mode

Set Exposure to 1.7 or 2.0

Disable - HDR and Image Stabilizer (OFF)

Set ISO 200

Metering = Average

Focus mode = Multi auto focus

Take a snap. Noise will be less. Colour noise (red, green, blue) will be nearly Zero, even with BE2 ON
[Xperia SP General] Qdezi:
Tks for sharing! To me, I keep the ISO as low as possibe, usually 100 (low light) or 50 (day light). EV is +0.7 or +1.0. HDR ON and Image stabilize OFF. Among the metering modes I don't see the significant changes.
[Xperia SP General] inspirearun:
since we have digital stabilizer it just increases ISO, also HDR forces stabilizer to be off.

The funny thing here is that when we set ISO 400 it takes photos at ISO 500. Not only that, with stabilizer on, shutter speeds are as low as 1/16s, which is easily prone to shake.

If you just want to show off to your friends in Xperia screen use ISO 400 or above, 'coz that's where Sony's noise reduction (colour noise only) comes into action.

For minimum shutter lag use ISO 800.

The reason for low performance in low light is not the sensor but the lens used, which is f/2.4, whereas my previous 2 year old HTC sensation uses f/2.0.

Updates are rolled out to other regions of the world, which are said to sort out camera quality, but I just don't know, how far the quality has been improved.

One more thing is that the sensor used in Xperia. SP doesn't seem to have hardware HDR. So if we use HDR while taking photos, they are easily prone to shake under low light.

But Sony uses some algorithm, which converts shakes into soft pictures to some extent. I see both positives and negatives in it.
[Xperia SP General] ZakooZ:
For those wanting a quick explanation:

Lower iso -> Less grain/artifacts & Darker pictures & Slower shutter speed

Higher iso -> More grain/artifacts & Lighter pictures (work better in very low light) & Faster shutter
[Xperia SP General] J26M377:
Hi, I'm currently on the Xperia P. I am pretty happy with it expect for the battery life. And after getting used to the 4 inch screen, I thought about getting a bigger phone.

Then I read about the SXP. It seems pretty perfect for me ( battery life, screen and all the other specs).

Only thing that concerns me is the camera. I shoot a looooot of photos with my XP. The camera is pretty okay for a mobile besides being unbelievable slow.

So, I was wondering: can these problems ( slow start-up of the camera app and the crappy post processing) be solved by just using a other camera app or is this a firmware problem?
[Xperia SP General] Prm593:

Stock is super fast and snappy on a fresh install, but after a few days it really starts to crawl. I run my phone as lean as possible and have noticed this on both the latest Tmobile and Wind versions, but not on CM10.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Deleted member 5163087:
The LG MLT service perhaps? (Just a guess)

Have you checked what apps/services are running?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] socalledsin:
Yeah I've killed apps, restarted, and uninstalled anything possible, and it seems to have no affect on it. Driving me crazy. I would stick with CM10 but the front lights are like blinding suns at night.

Canadian Wind Mobile V21B runs faster always. I have been using it for 2 weeks and no issues. Although, you will loose wifi-calling.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] tribalartgod:
So, I "think" I have found a fix for this. I would need you all to test as well before a full confirmation is set... I downloaded "Cache Cleaner +" from the Play Store. Cleared all cache, and rebooted. My performance seems to have returned, so far... 12 hours so far as I'm typing this.

I don't believe it is the LG MLT...It could be, but for me, I have removed it completely.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] socalledsin:
I think i may just see how many times i can run over it before it stops working completely. I've just lost my patience with this phone. If i could just get the damn front lights to stay off on cm10 I could deal with the other bugs, but I cant find anything that works short of ripping them out.

*edit* That actually seems to have worked for now. Thanks man.

I've never had this problem.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] tribalartgod:
Have you tried to fully debloat? I mean actually remove the apps, not disable them. This will cause issues if you want to do an OTA later, but it's easily fixed by reflashing the KDZ. I have a post in the general section telling what apps can be removed. With these apps removed and the Cache Cleaner program, I have been problem free for 2 days so far, and counting.

Alternatively, on your phone, dial 3845#*769# ... Then go to "MLT" in the menu, and disable it. This is a tracking feature on the phone. It logs GPS, User stats, etc, and sends it back to either T-Mobil or LG. This could be causing your lag... I have removed it completely, but if you don't wanna chance anything, just disable it is all. Give that a shot and see what happens

Hello all,

Apologies if this is not the correct way of posting this question , but it is my first post here.

I have been looking for a way to rename my android devices on my home Hub.

They all appear as android_[numbers] which i dont find very helpfull, on searching all day there are many sites and frums that have suggested amending the dhcpd.conf with a new hostname line, my issue here is that on my nexus10 and my HTC desire these files are both owned by root.

Both machines are rooted but when I open these files with a terminal emulator as root, they always open as read only.

Nowhere on any of these sites or forums does it say the files are read only.

What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcollier:
Open the folder in something like root explorer and click on the "R/W" button near the top of the screen. This will allow editing files in the folder. Then long press on the file and open it for editing.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huggogguh:
I think you can change your device hostname in developer settings, certainly a lot simpler than editing a root permission file.

Ok, I have never been more tempted to throw a phone in all my life. This has me VERY irritated.

I got this htc one x on a hunch, was a good deal, seen great roms on here, thought it was a good idea. I've had nothing but trouble. Heres my deal:

I went to the htcdev site to get the boot loader unlocked. Im no dummy, I've gotten into LOTS of phones. This thing is crazy. I've watched 20 videos, used 3 different computers, NOTHING works. ALWAYS says Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.

Now this isn't my first rodeo, I read, searched, paused videos made sure I was getting the same info selected, spaces, EVERYTHING that were showing between my screen and the youtube screens. This phone has taken the latest att update. Is this the problem? Has getting into the phone been cut out? Is there another way to get in and load roms? Should I ditch it for a galaxy?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jacobas92:
You have supercid, right? The One XL can't have bootloader unlock without it. AT&T Doesn't like for people to use phones the way they're intended to be used :D

There is a new method for unlocking on the latest update over in general.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] klloyd:
I've never owned a phone so hard to deal with... Everything I read says I need to be rooted, I need to have bootloader unlocked to root, different direction loops I cant seem to break...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
what carrier did the phone come from and what software version are you on?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Newest update doesn't have this option. There's a root method in dev section, however you need linux to run the script. But that's easy to make a bootable CD just to run the script. After you root then dev unlock. Then you can proceed to either fastboot a recovery or use goo manager to install the latest. Then flash away...

I recommend you follow the S-off thread too... That way you don't need fastboot to flash boot.img. then if it came with 3.18 firmware, you'll also need to follow the touchscreen downgrade thread if you plan on using Aosp roms.

It's really not hard to do the last 2 steps, but I have to agree you need to go through an a$$load of steps to get the desired effect. But this phone is great with custom roms. Some call me crazy, but if I run carbon Rom tweaked it'll rival my buddies S4 no problem
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] klloyd:
Its a true blue att phone. Running 4.1.1, software 3.18.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
The reason info conflicts is AT&T phones cant use htcdev unlock by AT&T request.

So AT&T phones need root to change cid to pretend to not be an AT&T phone before they can unlock.

That will change you Cid so it no longer identifies your phone as an AT&T model. Then, and only then will you be able to use htcdev to unlock your phone.
