Tried to take photo of my kids indoor is a nightmare. Focus takes forever and it always tried to focus on the brighter background.

In bright sun light the photos are great. In video mode there is a problem. A constant auto focus is really annoying. The video would slightly shift every 5 seconds also. Not a problem if you are moving a lot. But when you tried to pan the camera slowly, the result is annoying.

I really wanted to like this phone but I don't want to have to buy another camera for talking pictures so sadly I think it's going back.
[G2 General] jonathan3579:
I fail to see any problems with this camera. This was outside on a cloudy day about 3 days ago...
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
I think he meant low light
[G2 General] aznmode:
Doesn't sound like you've read the rest of the thread. Try panoramic and dim light with flash. There's no question the g2 camera is great outdoor during the day just like some of the higher end phones out now and better than most in low light. But it fails at the other 2. So the real advantage to this phone is low light with still images.

I think that it's not camera's fault but your fault instead, in low light mode your supposed to manually set camera to "Night mode" or use "iA" settings. Camera in standard setting can't decide to use special night settings by internal software
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
No disrespect and I mean this as an honest question... But do you get paid by LG?

I understand loving and supporting a phone, but you seem like a little bit too much of a G2 apologist in most of the posts that I've seen from you.

I absolutely love this phone, but geez lol.
[G2 General] dondavis007:
Booth yes and no I think. Booth Intelligent Auto and Auto seems to put the phone in some kind of low light mode, a few reviewers talked aboutthis. I can't see any difference between a Auto and IA mode in low light (not the extra low kind) , in darkness Night mode won't use the flash. In low light the focus is extremely slow and it's, more or less, hit or miss, it just don't find focus. Try out a bar ?

[G2 General] WPWoodJr:
Actually it's the best phone camera I've ever used by far in low light. The OIS makes a huge difference to your ability to get a stable shot at low shutter speeds.

This one was taken at 1/30 sec ISO 1000:

No it's not the user fault, this is not a dslr it's a point and shoot, the user doesn't need to understand photography to take pic with a point and shoot, if that was Lg intention then they need to rethink again.
[G2 General] Billy Madison:
Well, yes it's not dslr so then what's the point in demanding great low light photos from tiny-tyni pin-size lense?

And if it was intended to point & shoot shots then there wouldn't be any modes like "portrait", "sport", "night", "macro", "smth else". It just would be "no settings point&shoot"

I think the Night Mode picture is very nice
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
Flash.....that's what it's there for...not really my complaint with still photography but night video is the problem in my eyes.
[G2 General] jonathan3579:
Panoramic... like this? Btw, there are no filters applied and that pic just shines to me.

Edit: Too bad XDA (or this poorly made app) compresses so much.
[G2 General] kayrune:
It might just be your phone and not the app, that's why we complain ;)

Panoramas have lower res and quality than normal photos
[G2 General] carrman17:
As a photographer who uses a DSLR a lot, I feel like the camera on the G2is nowhere near DSLR quality, but it does it's job right. The Sony camera inside the phone is by no means a DSLR, nor is it even close... the same can be said about every smartphone camera (although nokia is getting pretty close). The G2 camera is definitely up there at the top as far as smartphone cameras go. It's not perfect and I don't think any smartphone can constantly produce the perfect photo you want everytime, but hey, for quick snaps this does the trick and it does it well. For amazing pro-grade pictures everytime, buy a DSLR... haha.

I do like that you can mess with the camera settings and get it almost exactly how you like, but that takes a little bit of tinkering and time.

I think we just think of smartphone cameras as gifts from the Tech-gods and expect them to always be perfect :P
[G2 General] jonathan3579:
Hahaha, I promise it actually looks relatively good. There's some minor hiccups with the stitching but it's the best panoramic photo I've gotten from any device so far.
[G2 General] aznmode:
The problem is you have to move really slow and steady to get a good panoramic pic otherwise it's blurry. Indoor with adequate lighting is even worse. Compared to my s4 which always gets it right the first time. Sample below.

Same indoor shot with the g2

The phone struggles with movement unless you're outdoor in full daylight but always fails indoors. The phone has camera issues for sure that needs to be fixed.

Time for some more pictures. I took out the G2 tonight for a low light shot in Normal mode and Night mode (with the V2.5.3 Camera Fix). As comparison, I also took a shot with a Canon 400D at ISO1600, F2.8, no flash, EFS 17-55mm. This DSLR is from 2007 with 10MPixel.

Although noisy at ISO1600, it is clear how much phone camera's are still behind this old DSLR.

[G2 General] WhiteZero:
You're joking right?

You're going to compare a DSLR, with a APS-C sensor, to a smartphone camera with a 1/3.06-inch sensor (smaller than the smallest sensor on that chart I just linked)? That is ludicrous.

Megapixels aren't everything... in fact, they're pretty irrelevant to image quality. Sensor size is everything, especially when taking low-light, high ISO shots.

Any DSLR, no matter how old, will stomp all over any smartphone camera, purely because of how huge their sensors are.

Will this ever happen though? Or even anytime soon. I have only till the 24th to return the device so I can't really gamble.
[G2 General] :
It is hard to say.. You may want to return it on the 24th.. Then "try" a new phone and then get the g2 again. There isn't really that much on my carrier (vzw) that can beat the phone.. Have you tried ios :p
[G2 General] AndroidInsanity:
The camera is brilliant. But the detail is awful. I have a small sign across my road. I remember zooming in onto it on my s4 and it was still clear to read. But zooming on the G2 its just a big blur. Tried focusing properly and everything :( really don't want to hate on this camera either!
[G2 General] noobsquared:
I'm in the same boat. I have 7 more days to decide if I want to keep this phone. I love everything but the camera. Its very aggressive and over-processes the pictures. Night shot of my kids came out like they are dolls or wearing masks. Never had that issue with HTC one. It may just be me but I'm thinking about going back to HTC one just for indoor/low light pictures.

I know HTC one captures more light and all, is g2 comparable in night time shots without the processing? I know megapixels and detail is not there on HTC one but night shots were close to real life and not fake and blur.
[G2 General] woof123:
I dont remember any phone to be perfect with everything from the start.The phone doesnt even have a month out.If someone beliaves that the camera wont improove,its better to sent it back.The camera software needs to be improoved,and it will...The camera is very good,all that is needed is some fine tuning.

I took several shots that night and all of them looked fake, not sure if that's the word. If you zoom in on the little guy, his hair and face looks painted and redrawn kind of. Every night I go home and take pics and haven't had one good picture comparable to HTC one.
[G2 General] WPWoodJr:
That's a cute picture! I'd be interested in seeing a comparison to the HTC picture. To me that picture doesn't look so bad, I've certainly seen a lot worse.

There is movement in the picture due to the low shutter speed but there's not much you can do about that.

[G2 General] noobsquared:
Here is an image taken from HTC One. I should have posted the other one as a close up too. This one may not have enough detail but it doesn't draw the face so it looks painted over. I am not sure how to explain but try taking pictures of people like that guy with swimming pool picture. People are blurred out and looks painted over. I hate to do this but I plan on returning this beast tonight :(

Edit:

Uploaded one from a distance so you can see what I'm talking about.

You can see the cheek bones and all and you can makeup the face in these pictures and you can tell it's a real face and not a painted over face.

Can anyone else see it too or am I going crazy? :eek:

[G2 General] geosnipe:
about camera and keys

Does anyone else think the focusing mechinisms/zoom keys are poorly located?

Zoom On-Screen Digitally- blocks the subject and should be a horizontal slide on top, not to mention the option to pin it.

Zoom Physically- on back fingers are too close to the lens as to disrupt the flow of light to aperature or impede on photo.

I have included a mock up of what I think might be a better position with the volume keys. I also know they intend to have people operating all aspects of the camera off the glass.
[G2 General] gm007:
The difference here is the metering.

The pic from htc has higher shutter speed and low iso so it's darker and more sharp.

The pic from lg has lower shutter speed and higher iso so it's brighter and the movement is blurred.

I think a software update will fix it.
[G2 General] jayochs:
nobody here is mentioning why the faces look "painted."

it's the noise reduction. i HATE noise reduction. i'd rather have a noisier, sharper image than a blurry, soft, ugly image like the G2 does. noise reduction must be reduced or completely shut off for it to look better.

just got a Nikon J1 and the first thing I did was turn off the noise reduction. that digital noise reduction just looks like crap.
[G2 General] noobsquared:
I just took another shot and I lol'd how my kid doesn't even look like mine. He looks like some character from peter pan cartoon lol

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] hoogerhuis:
Could you please indicate which one installs the T-Mobile coloured dialer skin?

Another thing: there is no difference in available memory (both program and storage) after a hard reset with installing T-Mobile extended ROM or wihout installing extended ROM. This could be the case due to the fact that the installed software has approximately the same size as the CAB-files. As I have no access to the Extende ROM (nor Windows folder via ActiveSync) I am afraid that I am missing valuable memory after installing from the file of Wiz and that somewhere the CAB files still exist on my device. Does someone know where I can find (and delete) the Extended ROM and which CAB-files I should install and what the meaning is of each CAB-file?

Many thanks in advance
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Daimaou:
Ok it works thanks, but... it is on "read only" cannot erase some stuff
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
The Extended rom currently cannot be "unhidden" or "made writable". We need the experts from XDA Developers for this .... The only thing you can currently do is copy them to a storage card and install them manually.

Incidentally I was wrong about the file that does the T-Mobile dialer skin etc. The file that should not be installed manually is:

Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB,

(I justed tested and confirmed that myself

Hello Android Users!

As I saw that much people are looking for this I just thought to post it on XDA and help some people! :D

I'm going to show you in this thread on how to change the clock color in lockscreen!

I hope everyone who has a bit knowledge on Android will understand this and I hope it will also work for everyone! :good:

I will use to change the color of Lockscreen on a JB framework-res.apk it will work on ICS and GB too.

What you need:

-Notepad++(or any other text editor)

-APK-Multitool(or any other compile/decompile tool for apk's, I'm using APK Multitool here)

-framework-res.apk

-A bit XML Knowledge

-And a mind :silly:

Let us begin:

1.Decompile your framework-res.apk by typing "9" in APK-Multitool.

2. Go to projects/framework-res.apk/res/values and open color.xml with Notepad++

3.Now search for these 3 lines:

4.So change the "#ffffffff" which is the HEX color white to a color you want(I will change to red)

5.Now save color.xml and compile it back(Follow the pictures):

Here DON'T type any key go to /keep directory and delete:

And now press any key!

6.Now go to /place-apk-here-for-modding and there should the finished product be! ;)

If you like my tutorial then please hit Thanks button, you don't have to pay for it! :)

So articles have been appearing here and there about how Straight Talk has began quietly support 4G LTE on their AT&T-based SIM cards, and I just happen to have an AT&T-based Straight Talk SIM in my One S (S4). It's unlocked and works just fine on AT&T's 3G networks, and I noticed when I first put in my new SIM card the magical option "GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto" appeared under Network Mode, but just as a tease. Before I call Straight Talk and have LTE activated and possibly have to buy a new SIM card, I was wondering if I'd even be able to use this on my T-Mobile based phone. I remember being able to use 4G no problem when I had actual AT&T service, but can't say for sure whether or not it was LTE.
