the Lumia 920 use settings similar to night mode on the One, so try night mode and more importantly try HDR which is the SGS4 night mode method but at much faster shutter

Regrading focus the "touch to capture" mode will solve it, when you touch your target, the camera will reach focus and take a shot

using HDR plus auto flash light, will "flash assist" the HDR capture and the results are incredible (similar to the method used in Lumia 925)

HDR (no flash, good shutter speed)

Night (Less noise, fixed ISO, slower shutter/focus)

Auto (Main low light quality, slow shutter/focus)

HDR (no flash, good shutter speed)

Night (Less noise, fixed ISO, slower shutter/focus)

Zoe Mode (Fast shutter / focus, lowest quality)

[One (M7) General] valdigre:
I bought HTC One as a replacement to my Lumia 920 (and I still have it).

I have not made any proper comparison yet, however my immediate feeling is, that HTC One is a big downgrade in terms o camera performance, when it comes to IOS, picture quality and recorded sound quality. The only thing that HTC is superior in is (in my opinion) image sharpness/details, which are still lacking on the WIndows Phones.

Having said that, I treat Lumia as my idiotic experiment and I will probably never abandon Android again.

If I find a bit time I will do a picture comparison with both phones, side by side.
[One (M7) General] godutch:
Can you make zoes with a Lumia too?
[One (M7) General] Mooozer:
to be honest I don't think the comparison is fair. The image quality of the htc one is simply awful. Nearly every other phone i had made better pictures (ok the nexus 4 was a bad one ^^). that said, i have to admit it IS very decent in low light and color reproduction. but while other phones produce clean and detail rich photos in normal daylight, my one struggles to keep up with.

the camera is really the only thing I absolutly dislike about this phone (and as a sony fan that is a huge compliment toward htc).

what bugs me the most is that 4MP in reality isn't that awful at all, still htc decides to treat the picture with way to much smoothing, eliminating effectively that few details it captured. Despite I honor my camera in my phones a lot, I have to admit I would still miss the One if I'd sell it. After all, it's still 1 little detail. :)
[One (M7) General] cihanleanne:
i agree with you HTC One is a great phone except that awful camera i dont know why they didnt use Omnivision or Sony sensor rather go with ST microelectronics
[One (M7) General] townay:
ST Micro is mic :p
[One (M7) General] I Am Marino:
I give HTC props for trying to buck the trend and do something "new" but it does have it's weaknesses.

Instead of trying to be different by using a 4MP and try to debunk the megapixel craze, they should have made a 8MP Ultrapixel camera and just market it as the new generation of cameras, and then appease all crowds.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
I don't think you understand what "Ultrapixel" is.
[One (M7) General] I Am Marino:
I'm sure I don't.

I have absolutely zero understanding of camera sensors, etc.

I'm generally a proponent of people feeling way too entitled to having some kind of super digital camera in their phone.

But if an OEM is going to try, go big or try again.
[One (M7) General] Itaintrite:
Funnily enough, HTC did go big with "Ultrapixel".
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
It's not bad in daytime, it's just not great. Only good/meh. It blows away even the L920 in night time though.

Overall I'd like to see HTC take on the L1020 with a huge sensor. 1/1.5 with 14.5MP would destroy the L1020 for low light, although it would have less sharpness (need at least 20MP to eliminate bayer artifacting through oversampling).
[One (M7) General] cihanleanne:
No its not when i fix tear the Htc one it was ST Microelectronics
[One (M7) General] Tuborg68:
Se some posters suggesting an 8mp ultra pixel camera in future htc units. But is that even possible without destroying the slim design? If you want to build a sensor with the larger ultra pixels and pack twice number of pixels, the sensor must become much larger. And then you probably must move the lense further away from the sensor to cover it with light (the image). Hence you need to build a thicker device.

Maybe this is why Nokias are on the hefty side.

But hey, this is just a humble theory based on my limited knowledge of sensors and optics.

Could someone post the links to some of the alternate kernels that get mentioned in the Dev section? They are harder to find then hen's teeth! Specifically, Vanquishkitties, arrrghhh's kernel and bytecode's kernel. Any others will also be appreciated. Just be sure they are for the XT907. I accidently flashed an XT926 kernel which allowed my phone to boot just fine but I had no touch screen controls! :eek: Seemed like it was hours (but actually only a few minutes) before I could manage to get it into the bootloader and then into recovery. I really don't want to relive that little thrill!

I accidentally flashed the Google Inverted (gapps for JB) zip to my 1st system (official ICS 4.0.4 AT&T) and now it wont boot, is there a zip that can reverse that?

It seems that made me loose BMM too.. :/

Is there a way I can fix this without having to FXZ to official 4.0.4 again :/?

EDIT: Is there a way to flash the ICS gapps through fastboot?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
If you've lost BMM, and you're boot looping then you'll have to FXZ and start over. After you've re-rooted and reinstalled BMM you can restore your backups.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Why install gapps on stock? Gapps are already part of the stock firmware.

Usually reversed gapps only work on non stock ROMs. If you want reversed gapps on stock you have to edit the xml files manually, since there are not any made for stock a2 firmware.

Thank you for the information Jim! The problem was that I wanted to flash them on system 3 but forgot to switch! I made that kind of mistake twice that week :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TripFlex:
So I spent all night going through threads looking for more information on this (probably had 20 tabs open :p), and just want to make sure I understand everything correctly.

As I understand, they are moving the DC-HSPA+42 from AWS (1700/2100) to HSPA+21 (1900), but because there is no room for dual channel PCS can only support HSPA+21.

Moving HSPA+42 from AWS to PCS will free up the 1700/2100 spectrum for LTE support, which ultimately they will phase out support for HSPA+ on AWS and only have HSPA+ on PCS (or minimal HSPA+42 on AWS).

So how does this affect me and you who only have a T-Mobile S3 that some of us were told *WOULD* support LTE, but it's obvious now it won't .... well sounds to me like we are getting the short end of the stick. I've already noticed since LTE popped up in my area that my speeds have gone from 15-25Mbps to 5-15Mbps if that.

Can anybody please confirm what I said above is correct and I am understanding all of this correctly?

Does anybody know of any apps that you can use to see what frequency the phone is using to be able to tell if you're on PCS or AWS? Or maybe an app that shows which version of HSPA+? I tried a couple on the app store but most of those only would tell me UMTS(WCDMA)....

I was very happy with the phone when I first got it but now I almost feel shafted by T-Mobile who didn't add LTE support for the ORIGINAL G3 they released...which you can no longer purchase from them. Same specs and all, just with LTE support ... I mean come on wtf t-mobile.

I always hated the way my iphone would allow you to plug it into a computer even with it locked and you could view the sd card. When i got my S2 you had to mount it when you plugged it into the computer and I didn't feel like I had to hide all my pictures or worry about someone getting them if I lost my phone. I upgraded to 4.2.2 and now it acts like my iphone did, you can just plug it in even if locked and view the two SD cards. I searched and found a few apk that supposedly re-enabled mass storage but didn't work for me. Is it possible to get the back to the way it was or a way for it to not show when locked? I know I can use a hide pic app but I feel like this is such a security/privacy issue when they act like this.
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
The subject kinda says it all. I'm one of the lucky ones that got grandfathered in on big red's unlimited data plan.

My wife has been on at&t and she's tired of it. Her phone (Atrix 4G) is falling apart and she isn't thrilled with the phone offerings from at&t.

She loves the Razr M so I've been looking to get her added to my account. It would also save us about $30 per month for her not to be on at&t separately.

A few months ago it was still possible to add an individual line to an existing account, without affecting the primary account.

Now they force me to convert my primary line over to a share-all-your-money plan, which will mean I lose my unlimited data.

The thing is, I use, on average, about 2.5G of data. I'm not a heavy user and I know that. My wife isn't either so we could make due with 4GB.

So, I need some thoughts.

1) Keep my unlimited and sign my wife up for her own individual big red plan? (no savings per month, but happy wife)

2) Convert over to a shared data plan, and add line for wife. ($30/mo savings)

So, it comes down to this: is having unlimited data you don't really use worth the $30 in added cost?

One side of my brain says no, the other says yes.:confused:
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
I have been battling that same question. My answer was keep my unlimited data as long as I can. Why? With more and more things going towards the cloud my data usage is sure to go up in the future. So I'm thinking for then and not now. I don't think Verizon is doing this because the masses asked to share data as they would have us believe. Verizon seen data usage dramatically increasing in the future as well and is trying to get us to switch now when our usage is low. Now is when they can convince us we don't use much data.

[RAZR HD General] gf1723:
I was grand-fathered into unlimited data for a while, but then I started tracking my actual data usage and it was only about 1.5-2.0GB per month so I just switched over. The only time now where I would maybe want it back, is if I was using 4G has my home Internet connection and just using my phone as a mobile hotspot. I don't feel that would be reliable enough so I'm fine with it.

I have a feeling sooner or later Verizon will come up with some way to get those who are still on unlimited data and won't sign a new contract. :(
[RAZR HD General] jfriend33:
I would just get her a verizon pay as you go plan. Decent phones. Give your wife your phone and then make twelve monthly payments on yours?

THe only reason to a share plan is to get subsidized phone.

I have resigned myself to keep unlimited until they kick me off. I'll buy my phone retail if I have to.

If they kick me off I'll switch to Sprint.

Keep unlimited at all costs.

We use a combined 11-13GB on three lines.
[RAZR HD General] bananapeapod:
I kind of split the difference. I stayed on the old voice plan but was able to get a subsidized phone upgrade by losing my unlimited data. I instead got a 5GB data plan and dropped unlimited texting and switched completely over the Google Voice (which I had been meaning to do). So I pay the same as a 2GB share everything plan but with 400 minutes of voice (not a problem for me) and 5 GB of data... I only ever use up till 3 GB so I have been considering lowering to 3 or 4GB and just paying the $10/GB overage on months that I go over.

[RAZR HD General] allquixotic:
Keep it no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT. Even if you don't use the unlimited, you could sell it to a friend (someone trustworthy) who has a crappy home internet connection, and turn a hefty profit. Just give them the activated SIM card and they can put it in a mobile hotspot and easily beat ADSL speeds for less money and better reliability.

Seriously, you guys are making a huge mistake by giving up one of the last reasonable cellular data plans in North America; nay, the entire world.

Don't do it. Keep your unlimited. Set up a new account for a new phone if you have to. Pay retail on new phones if you have to. Sell your activated SIM to someone you trust who'll use the data for a huge profit. Do anything EXCEPT willingly give in to The Man and the fascist data plan, oops I mean the shared data plan.

Howard forums has people wanting to do assumption of liabilities. Now I've never heard of someone selling their unlimited plan but that's only because most people that go the aol route are in contract, need out, and find people that really need unlimited.

I would not be advising someone to use the sim solely for home Internet. Yes it's unlimited but some use hundreds of gigs of data. This isn't good for others. You could also get caught.

The only reason I'm keeping my unlimited plan is because we have 2 smartphones and 3 feature phones. Always transfer upgrades to the feature phones and transfer new phone back. Why waste upgrade when feature phones are super cheap retail?

[RAZR HD General] allquixotic:
Few things:

1. You can consistently use between 50 and 75 GB per month and not get in trouble. Believe it or not there are people who use more than that and haven't been threatened with disconnection. But yes, if you download at 100% line capacity 24/7 you will get disconnected. Even 50 GB can be downloaded in an extremely short time (about 1 to 2 days depending on your LTE signal), leaving a lot of room for other users on the network.

2. Verizon is contractually prohibited by the FCC, which allows them to operate the licensed 700 MHz spectrum, from discriminating against a user because of that user's choice of device, which means you can either tether a smartphone or use a mobile hotspot, or even a USB modem, and they can't do anything against you based solely on your choice of device or they risk losing their operating license.

3. All of Verizon's towers will throttle your LTE speed down to a lower level (faster than 3G, but way slower than your LTE is capable of) if they identify you as a heavy data user AND the tower is 100% utilized. So they minimize data hogs' impact on other users by slowing them down when the tower is busy. Light or Occasional data users will be able to use the tower at full LTE speeds. When the tower isn't busy, well, why do you care if unlimited users are just using up spare capacity? That doesn't hurt anyone at all, and doesn't cost Verizon a penny, since all their back haul and peering is unmetered, so if they aren't 100% utilizing it they are actually paying for capacity that isn't being used, which is a waste.

I'm lucky that the tower closest to me at home is ALWAYS extremely under-utilized. I get fantastic speeds and no throttling, ever, at home. In the city I have seen close to 3G speeds on the LTE network due to saturation, which I am fine with. I still benefit from LTE's improved reliability and ping compared to 3G, so even if it's not 20 Mbps, I'm happy to have what I'm allowed. Verizon keeps me on a pretty long leash.

And no, I don't make the network worse for everyone else by using 70GB on an underutilized tower. 70GB over a month is not even a drop in a bucket to Verizon's back end infrastructure. I know some FiOS users who run multiple terabytes per month.

I love my unlimited data and I'm definitely gonna keep it. If i like a new phone that comes out, ill just pay full price for it. I canceled my internet and cable at home because I have access to both thru my phone. I average around 150gigs a month and haven't seen a decrease in speed.
[RAZR HD General] jfriend33:
I seem to have struck a nerve with someone and that was not my intention. You are probably used to having countless people advocating for verizon and following their rules. I am not one of them.

I was not aware that such policies were in place to protect the consumers. This is good to hear. I was under the impression that 4G devices weren't throttled (for the most part), even when on 3g and that only 3g devices were being throttled after heavy use. Verizon has obviously updated their guidelines so I need to read up on it.

I could not limit my home internet consumption to only 50 gigs. What is an average use anyway? I'm generally under 200 gigs. I am in areas where 4G is new and isn't that fast (under 10mbps, 3g tops off at 0.75) or in a big city where it's over utilized. I pay $20 a month for 50 mbps cable internet and that is a luxury many do not have.

Let's face it. We are lucky to have this unlimited plan. There are no guarantees on how much longer it will last. Just keep it, please?

I switched from Sprint Unlimited to Verizon "share-all-of-your-money" (that's about right) plan. I had a real hard time letting go, but my wife and I have been on for 2 months now and it hasn't been a problem. We went with 4GB, and I initially thought it would be a problem, but we haven't even come close to 2GB yet. I mitigate that a lot by using WiFi as much as possible. Especially when I'm home, but also at work. I've also become a lot less bashful about asking for their WiFi password. What's the worst that could happen? They just say no. Many of them don't care though and don't give it a second thought. I also make the conscious decision to wait until I'm home to watch that YouTube video or what have you everyone one is clamoring about. I also used to tether my laptop to my phone and used that as my primary internet connection. Haven't needed to do that, so data consumption has gotten a lot less.

I haven't found it that difficult to live with a 4GB cap.
[RAZR HD General] Xplorer4x4:
And what happens when Sprint cuts off unlimited? I agree with the idea of voting with your wallet but in this case, I feel there needs to be an exception. Given the financial standing of Sprint atm, I can't see why any one would risk jumping to them. Plus if enough people follow suit like you, it is bound to bog down Sprint's network until they start to cap data plans to.
[RAZR HD General] tech_head:
They claim "unlimited forever".

What financial standing, they just got bought by SoftBank Mobile (Japanese).

They are building out their network and adding more LTE from their old iDEN spectrum, that and they bought Clearwire.

When Verizon makes me move from unlimited, I'll be jumping to Sprint.
[RAZR HD General] Xplorer4x4:
There is an old saying. Talk is cheap. I seriously doubt they will retain unlimited forever. I would ask for a contract and read that thing over and over and over again as I would not be surprised to see some sort of clause in there that they have the right to terminate the unlimited data at any time because they get greedy like ATT and VZW.

Finance wise, you're right. I forgot about the buy outs. They are in a much better position financially and network wise, but they are still in the early roll out stages making it to early to judge just how well the network upgrade will be in the end. I also haven't heard how involved SoftBank has been so far. Have they only put up the money while still letting the former Sprint execs run the company for the most part?
[RAZR HD General] JungleKing76:
My wife and I both gave up our unlimited data. She gave up hers to upgrade and I just gave mine up to save money. We have 3 smart phones sharing 4GB.

I'd say to just do the math of what saves you more of the course of 2 yrs. If its cheaper in the long run by a significant amount to switch to the new plan and get a subsidized phone, and you can't foresee needing unlimited data, it just makes sense to switch. I personally am planning on keeping my unlimited plan while buying phones at full price due to highly fluctuating data usage.
[RAZR HD General] pkomarnicki:
Oh, they've already added that to the contract, effective July 1st. If you no longer qualify for a plan or they no longer support a plan, they can switch you to a new one. (Paraphrased, but close to a direct quote)
