I noticed when indoors with less lightning and I use flash the pictures (first 3) are dim and more yellow compared to my s4. With good lighting its pretty good(last pic). It's seems the pic is taken a little bit after the flash goes on so it's dim by the time the pic is taken. I assume this can be fixed via software.

Here are the same shots with my s4

Simple pic I know but I'm looking out at that tree and grass now and the colors are dead on to the photo.
[G2 General] ipmanwck:
Which do people prefer then ?
[G2 General] brad piff:
Intelligent Auto was basically the only way I could get decent low-light flash shots to come out not washed out. In fact, they came out awesome.

Taken at fairly low light and being relatively close to the shoes.
[G2 General] aznmode:
I prefer the s4 when it comes to camera. Even in good lighting the s4 has more details when you zoom in.
[G2 General] shaungregg:
Not to be a jerk but I don't think this thread needs to see all those photos twice lol, easiest way to compare is posting side by side photos anyway. Most people here are coming from HTC One or S4 and we've seen the pro comparison jobs all over the internet. I don't think many would have blindly traded in those great phones for the G2 without first hands on or reading various reviews. I think the consensus is this camera is better. To do a good comparison as I said side by side and put a color wheel in the photo for a reference, do I know if the walls are off white or eggshell?

Link to a very good review with the most in depth camera comparison of G2, S4 and One.

I appreicate the ois feature and i hope a good app or a mod will handle well and better the camera on the LG g2...if you guys know any plz let me know..thanks
[G2 General] aznmode:
Good comparison. Wish they included indoor low light shots with flash. I think thats were the g2 is failing at least for me since I like to capture my weekend events with my friends whether it be at a night club or at the bar. Will take it for a spin this weekend and hopefully it will be good enough. Other than that this phone is awesome.
[G2 General] shaungregg:
Oh yea I haven't had an opportunity to take any photos like that so let us know, mainly I've taken pics outside day and night with no flash and I can at least say it rocks in those situations. Took some video today which was great both of moving subjects and while I constantly walked around, I just noticed the setting for tracking zoom so I'll have to try that out.
[G2 General] lattiboy:
Not going to blow any minds, but the level of detail on the stem is excellent. Again, shows you what it is capable of, but then you get crap pictures the next **** and you're brought down to earth....
[G2 General] shaungregg:
This is simple I know but sometimes simple things are hard to do on a phone but the G2 will focus where you want it to very easily automatically. Top photo the tag on fire extinguisher is out of focus and the aisle of products isn't and in the bottom pic the exact opposite. Photography 101 yes, took seconds to take both shots but you'd be surprised how many cameras both on phones and dedicated point and shoots have problems doing this without making you nuts.
[G2 General] vegetaleb:
From what I am seeing here and in comparisons with S4 and One the G2 has slightly more details than S4 but the main problem is the over-exposure making the photos a little too bright.

Though if LG wants it they can easily tweak it via FW update
[G2 General] flickyamom:
Low light video suckery

I think the main issue about the video recording in low light in the G2 is that it sacrifices framerate for brighter frames just like the One. I think a tweak might be able to solve it. Another thing is fast moving object. The shutter often opens for a longer time because it wants more light, so pictures of moving objects are usually blurring. We need a tweak to change the shutter speed to the extent that moving things won't be blurred. It should be possible right?
[G2 General] aznmode:
I agree. Just like on a regular camera when you adjust the iso the camera slows down and if your hand isn't still the shot will be blurry. Unfortunately the fix will probably have to come from LG. Need to let them know about these issues.

The first two I took at night with the street lamp behind me... The third, it was foggy this morning. And the 4th was while the sun was full blast...

[G2 General] aznmode:
Anyone try panoramic yet? It seems really sensitive. Move too fast it's a blurr. So you have to be really slow.
[G2 General] hackarchive:
Agreed.I love the way iphone 5 does panorama.Sweeps well,pauses and resumes with ur movements.Wish LG could copy this!

[G2 General] ipmanwck:
I am hoping you mean external speaker ? I really only use headphones and that's also why I buying the phone for the headphone quality.
[G2 General] lattiboy:
Unless you're playing FLAC files through the LG player headphone output isn't hot. HOWEVER, Viper4Android (google it) makes it killer.

HDR sample shot from this morning - pretty satisfied with this camera. I will upload some more to Flickr later today.
[G2 General] aznmode:
My opinion and others may not agree

Outdoor

s4 - 10

g2 - 10

Indoor bright light

s4 - 10

g2 - 10

Low light (no flash)

s4 - 5

g2 - 8

low light (flash) 6+ feet away

s4 - 7

g2 - 6 (dimmer picture)

low light (flash) close up

s4 - 10

g2 - 9 (slightly dimmer)

night (no flash)

s4 - 4

g2 - 7

Night (flash) 6+ feet away

s4 - 9

g2 - 7 (dimmer)

Panoramic (outdoor)

s4 - 10

g2 - 7 (still can't get clear pics 50% of the time)

Panoramic ( indoor)

s4 - 8

g2 - 4

Again these are my opinion on it so no need to argue over it and I prefer the s4 overall. The panoramic really killed it for me.
[G2 General] mky4b11:
Agreed with the panorama. My HTC one had a great panorama.

I can recommend the app hd panorama. Not sweep, but works really well with its aligning algorithm.

Some (untouched) pictures from taking my G2 around Eastern Europe on a trip recently. Some of these got considerably better with a little finishing but figured I'd put the raw images here. Overall I'm very happy with how it performed. The first picture was in really dark/weird lighting in a salt mine several hundred meters below the surface, I was surprised it came out decent.

I have a problem. Camera wont work. Most of the time its a black screen and other times it kinda works but i get the image below, and it takes pics like that but you cant view them. I removed apps that I have installed since I noticed this and nothing. Any ideas on this? I looked everywhere for about 2 weeks now. Not sure what to do....?

If a factory reset from the settings menu is recommended... what exactly happens to the custom ROM and kernel? Do they need to be reinstalled or...?

Running Shostock 2.5.6 And AJ 1.25s

And if this is not the place to post this... please tell me where? Thanks everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrishaney23:
Replacing the camera module doesnt work. Does the same thing. Any ideas? I doubt it since I have gotten ZERO replies. Was hoping at least ONE person on here has had this problem... guess not. Thanks anyway everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
I wonder if it's the kennel you're using. AJK 1.25s is pretty old, and while it is the Samsung version I can't remember if it's for the ICS version you're running; maybe AJ can pop in and reeducate me.

Anyway, a quick test would be to nandroid and flash the rom again without changing the kernel, then see if that solves your problem.

One other thing, don't factory reset from the settings menu, always do these things from the custom recovery.

I just flashed Shostock 3.0.2 the other day without flashing a kernel before I changed the camera module... same result. Thanks for the tip on factory reset.
[Xperia SP General] t_o_f:
This is a hacky fix but it is a fix.

It gives you a backlight that will go from dim to full bright without the need for any other apps running. It's not uber configurable like dedicated apps as it's limited by hardware but it requires 0 ram, 0 runtime and 0 battery

Append the following to hw_config.sh. The sleep is a hack but a viable one - hw_config is fired up by one of the rc files as a oneshot service so it should be OK to extend it's operation

If you prefer you could just make a standalone script with everything after the sleep command (make sure you have the dev= assignment from hw_setup too!) and fire it off with a script executer of your choice

#this sleep ensures that the system is up and done tw@ting with light levels before setup
sleep 30

#select als group for backlight
echo 1 > $dev/leds/lcd-backlight1/als_group
echo 1 > $dev/leds/lcd-backlight2/als_group
#set both to max. brightness - als will lower
echo 255 > $dev/leds/lcd-backlight1/brightness
echo 255 > $dev/leds/lcd-backlight2/brightness
#set custom als curve
echo 7,1,48,72,24,255,0 > $dev/als_group1
#set custom filter frequency
echo 1000 > $dev/als_filter_down_speed_mHz
echo 1000 > $dev/als_filter_up_speed_mHz
#turn on hardware als
echo 1 > $dev/als_on

Notes

Make sure you have completely uninstalled any other light controllers - Velis in particular wreaks havoc even when disabled - it still receives the screen on intent and resets the brightness which results in a black display - guess how I know ....

Make sure you have disabled auto brightness control in the standard Sony settings and set the slider to full bright for good measure

I use nobootanimation so my phone boots a bit quicker than some. It might be that sleep 30 isn't long enough for an animated startup

Best thing is probably to create a setup script and run that to satisfy yourself the hack works. Then add it to hw_config and increase the delay if it doesn't work!

If you want to know more about the als setup check HERE or read the AS3677 datasheet.

Sadly I wasn't able to find out how the ALS curves are loaded into the current system, hence the direct hardware poking

There's some useful debug capability built into the sysfs

cat $dev/debug to see light sensor outputs and calculated backlight settings

cat als_group1 to read back the curve settings complete with a graph showing the response curve

A software guy could probably easily make an apk that hooked to the SCREEN_ON intent to program all this (and have a nice gui to show/edit the curve) but I'm a hardware engineer so that ain't me!
[Xperia SP General] pakatsui:

[Xperia SP General] heross:
LUX, YAB or other brightness app will don`t work correct on all my Xperias. :confused: Only with "system brightness settings" active in the background this apps will change the brightness in realtime. When i close the systemsettings brightness will change no longer or with some luck once when unlocking.

so i will test this Hack, hope it helps to become a wide range in realtime.

the best, lowest brightness it is configurable with the Stock slider!
[Xperia SP General] cyapalmpos:
Call me daft. I disabled auto brightness, jacked the brightness to high, and have no other brightness apps installed. I appended the above to /etc/hw_config.sh and rebooted.

auto brightness didn't work. It was still jacked up to high so I enabled it and tested, still not working. Did I do something wrong? I'm on 254 rooted.

Right, to cut a lonnnnng first post story short, basically, rooted my phone yesterday, went well, installed some rooted apps and was having fun, one app, 3D something, from Google Play. it asked me to restart my phone after setting superuser (i thought this was quite weird) anyway i boot locked my phone - got the typical "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" and the phone woundnt move from there, i can gt into vol+ home and power and vol- home and power still. so after some research i found i had to flash therelivant stock ROM using odin - so i did. and it worked. then at somepoint today my phone got stuck in a boot loop consisting of the GT-N7000 screen then the samsung spash screen. when i do vol+ home power, i get in red text "E:/error%20in%20/data/recovery_last_kernal_log.txt" - what does this mean? and how(if at all) do i fix it?

i have curently re-flashed stock ROM and vol+ home power & "wipedata/factory reset" and so far so good......

any help or shed light would be a great help

Phone is Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000

Sir,

I followed your instruction on installing driver via device mgr and the result is driver is updated.I followed your instruction on flashing and when off my tab and push the download button and wait 5 secs after that to connect the USB to pc. But when I push the download the flasher started reading and the bar is in pink color, when I put my USB after 5 secs there is no reaction on the flasher, only on my tab has an icon of battery and under charging.PLEASE HELP.

note: my tab FW already jb 4.2.2 without call function.
[A3000 Android Development] azam426:
After Turning off the tablet, it is better you wait few seconds before connecting to pc for flashing.

You Should not Connect the Cable to the tablet Before 7th Stage, All previous points should be done WITHOUT CONNECTING USB to PC.

You Should connect the Cable after You Click the Button " DOWNLOAD "
[A3000 Android Development] azam426:
After you hit the DOWNLOAD button connect the Cable to the tablet. If its started in charging Mode(tab has an icon of battery and under charging) Just reset the tablet while its connected to the pc. Reset button is near the 2nd SIM Slot.
