Photos when you zoom in to them look over sharpened and compressed. I agree that LG could have done better there with the camera. 920 OIS seems to be one of the best where the G2 doesn't seem that effective. Much like the HTC OIS. But if you look around on the youtube videos some 1020 and 920 videos are shaky and other less. I wonder why that is? Some people have steady hands where others don't?

Edit: New video up that shows the OIS does work now.

[G2 General] fallenwout:
Sigh not impressed either. I think katamari is right.

Sux cuz my s3 screen is broken and waiting for a worthy update. S4 is not an option, i hate pentile amoled and Samsung didn't learn from the s3. Reason enough for me to abandon Samsung.

HTC has ridiculous built in social shiat, not an option either.

I want a full hd full sub pixels display below 5inch. G2 was an exception cuz of the thin bezel. And to all the brands that bring out new high end phones without full hd display... well, see you next year maybe.
[G2 General] chinchillables:
I hate that about them... well did. Then I just rooted and uninstalled all that social crap that I don't use. ;)
[G2 General] jayochs:
idk, i love my GS4 camera and think it easily kills my DNA, and the one in general, and the G2 looks to have pretty much the same quality as the GS4...so i'm excited.
[G2 General] Hendrickson:
I've owned the S4 and I would say they are indeed about the same quality now. Video is only better because it shakes around less than the S4 due to the OIS. Its somewhere between the HTC one and 920 OIS. In the middle of the two in terms of OIS preformance.

Sound wise the LG G2 picks up too many high frequencies noises at times.

The sony Z1 we don't even know about that camera yet. So how can we comment on it.
[G2 General] jayochs:
i'm excited. the audio in videos on the S4 was great; i record guitar videos from time to time, and the S4 rocked..i hope the G2 will be good, too!
[G2 General] Dean_me:
Sample Photos - GS3 Comparison

I am the recent owner of an LG G2 and I was comparing the photo quality to my old GS3. I only did a few situations, but I thought I should share the results if anyone else is interested. GS3 photos taken @ 8MP and G2 photos @ 13MP.

The GS3 is definitely better at focussing on close objects.

I have some HDR and non-HDR versions there (it's easy to tell them apart). The GS3 HDR seems to be more aggressive, which can often result in a significant loss of contrast.

I also tested the OIS on the G2 by holding the phone with a shaky hand and taking burst shot photos, and it didn't seem to be very effective.

My photos (downsized to 1080p) are here:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bwrp4uluZCpNT19ObXhfZ1pwc2M&usp=sharing

The G2 takes very appealing photos IMO, and it's a step up from my GS3. They could be better, but I still think it's great for a phone.
[G2 General] srk_srinivas:
Can you try with the camera mod?
[G2 General] Tinchoska:
With the original camera photos has lot of bad quality but with modded camera it just got great

I'm looking to buy an Audiovox XV6600.

I currently am on a wallaby with Cingular.

I know that cingular uses the SX66 and has WIFI, but i want the camera.

My problem.

Cingular appears to use Quad Band on thier SX66 and

Verizon's XV6600 uses a tri-band (no 850mhz).

Can i convert the radio of the verizon to get 850/1800 or 850/1900?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helix139:
No. Verizon is CDMA and Cingular is GSM. the two systems are completely incompatible.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] hakushox:
order a I-Mate pda2k or o2 xda IIi and you can use it with Cingular
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] orateam:
thanks.

Thanks for the advice, almost ended up with the wrong device.

Dear XDA developers, modders and users i am curious to know do you like more performance and stability of android 2.3 and older or looks and apps of android 4.0 and newer.

I prefer GB roms because for everyday use ICS/GB roms destroy my already weak battery, are slow and unstable imo , also when i download a rom i remove stuff i dont need and add stuff i do.

I edit roms but never publish them as my original work
[Wildfire General] bilal1947:
Check how fast is it these two roms with 50+ user apps. Htc wildfire still good to go.

Check out my htc vdo shots below:

miniCM7 rom

CM7 Nightly Rom

I also froze a few system apps, what do u add and remove, can you plz make a vdo sneak peak.

My vote is for Performance.

Thanks
[Wildfire General] ndrija:
Well i havent got time for making videos now ,but if you are interested in my roms then i do the following:

* depending on the rom size and features

- gallery

- fm radio

- latinIME

- tts and picotts

- some fonts

- alarms, notifications and ringtones

- gapps if available

- cwm ( i used revolutionary so cwm is not necessary

- cmwallpapers

- bootanimation.zip

+ file manager

+ quickpic

+ keyboard ( using hackers keyboard in this moment )

+ beats sometimes

+ custom ringtones and notifications

+ sometimes i edit the framework-res

conclusion - nothing complicated but by removing apps, fonts , boot animation i shave off +- 20mb of rom size and speed up boot to around 35-40 seconds

and in my barebones rom (cm7 based) i have removed all apps that are safe to remove except :

-music

-camera

-mms

-[App that ive possibly forgot to mention]

and in total my barebones rom has 50mb which i use when i fck up something ( my ubuntu didnt recognize android 4.0 as a usb drive so i couldnt change the rom ; when stuck in bootloop ) because it installs faster and its a good alternative as a rom to give to my younger sister

Because its faster i also change the default wallpaper in roms that i download

Curently i use TouchWiz with sympfinity kernel V4.5 its fast and battery efficient ( and FABULOUS )
[Wildfire General] ndrija:
P.S. yes wildfire is still good to go but development in xda is ceasing and it has no gpu. Technology is becoming better every day so i will update in the near future but wildfire is a legend and should not be forgotten
[Wildfire General] iSharp:
Well we still got some people doing good work, have you tried the AOKP light continued by wasimk32 ? I run it smooth and fine with smartass and preety much 5 hungry apps installed other than gapps; I'm only using it for about 5 days now but i did not feel the need to run supercharger, wich is more than i can say for latest gingerbread stock cm considering aokp is ics based.

Also if you want looks+even better performance you can give JellyBread a try made by wasimk32 aswell, i installed it and when i saw my willy fly troughout the apps and menus like a galaxy S2 i almost teared up a bit xD.

Bottom line: I think we can get probably another decent year where we can say willy kept up before we start using it for only its phone-text functions :P.
[Wildfire General] ndrija:
ok will try it out, thanks
[Wildfire General] ndrija:
this poll is no longer a poll its a discussion thread
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
When I still had my wildfire it was always performance for me. Cm7 was a godsend over that bloody stock Rom. But when it all came down to it as long as I had a fully working flashplayer I was happy :)
[Wildfire General] Knight_43:
I totally go for performance.Obviously i also care about look...
[Wildfire General] Lutzer:
Performance

Performance, lightweight with minimalistic artwork.

Hi all,

I have been hunting around for the last three days and cannot find a unified answer as to why MMS does not work on my i747. No MMS function is kind of a deal breaker. I have changed APN settings a number of times to no avail. Switched from PA to CM and back no wipe and full wipe etc and still no dice. Does anyone have any solutions that are repeatable? If so I would love to make it known.

Frustratedly,

999
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droideastcoast:
are you using any type of startup programs?

if you are see if you checked the messages app and if you did uncheck it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] triplenine:
Not sure what you mean by startup apps but the phone was pure as the driven snow and still nothing. If you can consider cm pure ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Does everything else work? Like phone calls, texting, and cellular data? If so, more than likely APN related. Who is your service provider?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] triplenine:
Yeah. Everything else is fine. Sms is good and quick. Data speeds are tip top. Mms messages just stall out at "sending" I use ATT in Colorado.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Well if everything else is working properly, then I'd almost bet it's APN related. Double check, and make sure everything is entered properly, periods,spaces, capitalization. If so, and it still doesn't work, did u make a backup of stock before u ever flashed a custom ROM? If so, restore it and see if they work. Also, have u updated your modem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] akitten007:
Can you receive mms messages? Because I recently couldn't send picture messages, but could receive them. Turns out picasa uploader had some corrupt data. I would make sure that app isnt frozen or accidently uninstalled
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kbatman74:
Some of the newer ROMs have issues with resizing the image being sent - it is larger that AT&T will allow. I don't remember what thread it was in but someone mentioned that there was a change made to the mms.apk that caused the issue. They posted an APK that they pulled from a ROM from June (I think it may have been a CyanogenMod nightly).

--edit--

I think it was polobunny that posted it. I'm too tired to look for it but his post in reply to fastest963's post on a possible CyanogenMod resolution to the issue in the thread listed below.

I had that same problem with Slimbean. I sent them a logcat and the fix had something to do with "the lack of hugemem for kernel".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rofflayo:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruce Lee:
I had the same issue as the op. I use the app handcent SMS app from the play store and that fixes the issue sometimes. I was on cyanogenmod 10.2 when I had the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] triplenine:
So it looks like I was suffering from the ATT/cm photo resizing issue that was referenced a few replies back. The most recent nightly addressed it and it seems to work well now. Going to try to send a bunch of pictures of various sizes to verify its functionality but it looks like people with ATT and i747s should be on an even playing field on CM. I wonder how soon paranoidandroid will have this update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
I have had this issue on almost all ports and CM roms. Compounded by living in a poor service area. The only consistent fix for me is what Bruce Lee suggested and use a 3rd party sms, I like GOsms personally. Actually I like stock better so I turn off notifications in Go and greenify it until I need to send a pic.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
Fix permissions, on ATT can send 8mp photos fine on any 4.3 ROM I've tried (CM, Quantum, PA, Illusion).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
I dont think I've tried again after fixing permissions so ill try that. Thanks. If its that easy, I'll be both happy and pissed that I didn't try that. I noticed earlier in this thread someone said something about the picassa uploader. I usually freeze that app, and was just searching for what it does. If you don't mind me asking, are you aware of any issues that may cause in sending MMS? Seems to only be involved with uploading to an account, which I dont have.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
Only problems I've had with MMS are as follows:

"Sending" bug - either fix with "Fix permissions" in recovery, or just using a different mms.apk from a ROM it did work on (4.3)

APN settings - only happened once on a 4.2.2 ROM, don't remember which

Never used picassa uploader, or froze it (I don't use TiBu). But recently with the 4.3 ROM's I've tried fixing permissions is all it's taken for me. Just to be safe I've made it a practice to Fix Permissions 3 times before rebooting, also clearing cache/dalvik

Ok. Thanks. I just noticed newest CWM doesnt have fix permission so i did it through scripter. Only tied once though. It didn't work with that one try. I have also tried pushing new mms.apk but no luck. Ill try a couple more fix permissions and try again. Always nice to have new oprions for this fix so thank you again for the response.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
No problem, but the newest CWM doesn't have it? I'm using Philz CWM ported by blackwing (somewhere in android dev), it's under advanced options for me. Which MMS.apk did you try?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bubba Fett:
I'm currently using novaGen ROM cm10. I tried different MMS.apk from his mrom and also a couple themed aosp apk's I grabbed from somewhere. The weird thing is, I use cool tool to monitor data sent and speed, and I can see data slowly going out but they never complete. However gosms worked on the first try. I used TW ROMs like Goodness for a long time with the same results. I also just got a new s3 cause my IMEI and or my hardware got borked and I lost my backup, so ive eliminated the phone as the issue. I do live in a tough service area but still after 45 min it fails. I get around 25% signal strength. I have tried in a better area in the past but not too recently. Same results.

I flashed it correctly, its so smooth, best UI.

I tried flashing it more than 3 times coz i love this ROM but faced the same issue.

If you can still get into Odin mode, there's still hope. Have you tried using Odin to flash a stock image instead of Kies?

Don't use and dont need pit file.

Find the stock shipped tar file (aka) 4.1.2 Rom

Load in pda leave everything checkedbin odin thats checked.

You need the Root_m919uvuamdl.zip

And then flash MDB setUIDoff .zip

Then flash superuser.

Thats it.

Let me ask you one thing. .. is the com port in odin coming up recognize the phone ...if so you are not bricked. . The two vital things u need to see is com port turn on usually blue color and download mode..

The problem def lies somewhere else possibly bad tar file .

Try to find another source for the stock rom tar file another option is boot into recovery and flash a stock rom if you have recovery still

The phoney has gotten slow and sometimes slow responses or it acts bugged for example:

I click a picture from the menu and it won't open up, but instead it will act like if I have held my finger on it and then have option to share or delete and it wouldn't allow me to open it. Other times when I open up a picture it won't let me move it around. It get strange behaviors, or sometimes when I am texting it will have lag or slowdown while typing, example:

I'm typing a message and it slows down while i keep typing and nothing is shown written on the screen and then it lags out and it instantly types everything like leaving behind a little time of lag to catch up and trust me it get's annoying, it interrupts the conversation and sometimes you end up sending incomplete lines or mixed words and such. When it happens my only option is to reboot the phone. It get's to my nerves.

I believe this is because the internal memory is always full.

I Bought a while ago a 32Gig microsd because I thought I could store and install the apps on the sdcard so it leaves the internal space of my phone alone. I tried downloading a few apps to move some apps to my microsd card but no success. The app I got is called "AppMgr lll" but I never got it working right because I never get the option to "Move to SD Card".

I'm also using the rom: AOKP 4.2.2 and I believe it was almost a year ago when I installed it. I haven't touched my phone ever since.

All I want is, release internal memory and be able to use my sdcard for what I intended to use it for, which are the apps.

Thank you and have a nice day.
