That is great news. Thx for the info.

Now if only they would spend 30mins and remove the artificial shutter-time limit.

In the stock camera app I can chose 'Single auto focus', 'face detection' and 'object tracking' when in (manual) video mode.

I am convinced you can chose 'infinity focus' in some other video apps though (whitout actually having any concrete knowledge). I can chose 'infinity' in other camera apps (Camera FV-5) when taking pictures, so I cant see why it wouldnt be possible while recording video too. Camera FV-5 have seperate video and photo apps though, and I dont have their video app.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pepeo123:
hey thank you very much for the info. yeah i checked the app page (cinemaFV-5) and they have locked autofocus indeed.

unfortunately xperia z1 AF is very bad, it triggers all the time making an unconsistent video, so having an option to disable it is great

Macro shot. Really love the macro on this phone
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] casablanko:
just wanna share my thoughts....

if the z1,z1c and z2 have the SAME camera package (lens, sensor, and Bionz ISP) then the only different thing is the processing logic which is superior in Z2.

so, until someone can port these logic/algorithm, then we can have a better camera result right?

but, incase sony did put some modification on hardware level on the Z2, the whole logic/algorithm port is useless or maybe not very effective.

well, for the time being, im happy with the Z1c result esp on macro shots. :D

Hey guys!

So I just ordered my Z1 Compact and from what I've read many people complained about the camera quality of the Z1c (and I'm not talking about flash bleed only, but general camera performance), specially in the first months after the release.

Therefore I'd like to know how camera quality has changed with all the updates the Z1c has got since it was released. Has it got better? How is it now with all the updates intalled?

Thanks!

Just a few from a recent trip, I've been using either Google camera (for the photospheres) or stock app with the xposed superior auto mode.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Arup ZR:
The DxO mark is taken as a yardstick and of course like any other opinion, its subjective, having possessed both Z1c, Nokia 1020 and 808, my subjective view is that Z1 C has the most natural color and am very happy with the resolution it takes, only the 808 did better in night photography but daytime colors even though better than my 1020 still not close to Z1 or Z2.

Is there a way to make the overall picture sharp in all regions? Because I think that the focussing of this Smartphone (or maybe Sony App) is more extreme than other Smartphones. Nice if you are defocussing background etc. But If I take a landscape photo some spots are much sharper than others.

Are ProCamera or Camera FV-5 maybe better in terms of this issue or is this a hardware thing?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mikeguima:
Switch to manual mode and use the multi point focus. You can also put the camera in landscape mode. See what that does for you.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] etherspin:
In Erica Griffin's youtube review of the phone she noted lens soft spots as have a number of other reviews. it will be interesting to see what is possible with more low level camera control by apps on Android L with the new camera API finally coming out. this is the issue that stopped me buying the compact (im still on galaxy s2) - I'd love to see the camera improved for more consistent results so I could finally update my phone :crying:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Arup ZR:
Background defocus in action.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Aestetica:
I think what you are referring to is the ability to change apeture of the lens.

This is not possible on this phone (all phones?) as the apeture is fixed at f/2.0. This is a larger apeture (smaller number) that most phones - most being f/2.8 i think. The larger apeture (f/2.0) has the physical properties of letting in more light (and thus less need for high ISO when taking photos) but also has a lower depth-of-field (more blurry background) than say f/2.8.

Hope that helped.

Does anyone know WHAT I have to do with this piece of junk (Xda11s)to make it work,It "freezes" on average 3 times a day,soft reset usually is a disaster as it wipes off EVERYTHING.Active sync is a joke as I have to rename and re connect most times (it keeps telling me ,this device name is in use!).Try as Imay,it refuses to pair with my bluetooth satnav (even though it says it has).It really doesn't appear to be a lot of good and I'm regreting buying the damn thing.All the above functions barring the renaming thing(is there something I should know?)work perfectly with my Xda11 and it's as stable as you could wish.Any thoughts or views would be much appreciated,thanks,Rocket

Xda11s crash coure

Well here goes, hope I'min the right place,I am ,after all,new to this(and yes I am breathing,last time I looked)

ROM version 1.13.00

ROM date 12/13/04

Radio version 1.06.00

Protocol version 1337.38

ExtRom vrsion 1.31.139

I have downloaded the Rom version from your link to my desktop but will it make any difference being T-mobile when mine is on O2?Sorry if I appear dense ,but I am (you would if you didn't have the knowledge of my subjects,I too am an expert in my fields,though not in this one,so please bear with me).Rocket
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] HDuser:
Your not dense but you might be new

Based on ext rom 1.31.139 have the latest UK o2 rom

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades

What you could do is upgrade the radio to 1.15 or 1.13

(many feel 1.13 is better)

What you could do is upgrade your rom to 1.42

Now with a rom update you need to cook your ext rom or use the ext rom that comes with the update. This will mean that your device will smell like a T-mobile, have T-mobile as the splash screen when you boot and your mms settings will be t-mobile.

All of this you can change via the forum.

Wiki is the best place to go and follow the instructions on it and read the forum. Most of the questions you will be asking have been answered.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] papamalo:
Hello all XDA. I have heard great things about you and used some of your root and Kernel releases. Thanks!

I think I may be ready to go the the next level (for a dammed newbie) in jacking up my Galaxy S3, and applying the latest manipulations you guys have going. I have two very important questions:

1:

when I start speech recognition, it emits a loud "bleepBloop" to inform me that it is ready, and then another bleep (a different one) when I am finished entering voice data.

Other forums have called this the "speech recognition bleep" and called it a generated tone.

I have also seen a secret code #*7200# that is supposed to mute the tone generator on an S3, but I am not sure of it will also mute the custom sounds I have for my rings and alerts

Using root browser, I have gone to every folder I know of in "system-media", and renamed or deleted all the sounds except for the five I use, (Email, SMS, Facebook alert, Ringtone and alarm tone) and I also searched for every aiff, MP3, Ogg, or WAV file I could find on the phone and could not find anything like what I hear every time I search using google, or enter voice to text mode.

this is baffling. Where are these sounds located on my S3? how can I get rid of them?

2: What are your recommendations for making my S3 as fast as possible?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjune:
Hi guys.

Before I start with my problem, let me explain you the situation.

For the past 2 years my I9100 has been on Stock ICS (4.0.3) (I9100XWLP7_I9100ODDLP9_INU) with Rooted kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.tar).

On regular basis I took backups of my mobile using Rom Manager & CWM.

A week ago I tried CM 10.1.3 on my S2. I installed it using CWM. I reverted back to an old backup following instructions to wipe cache (partiton&dalvik) and Factory reset the phone.

But after some time the phone started to go in bootloop. I again wiped the caches and Factory reseted it. But it didnt help. I tried to flash Stock ICS but Odin freezed. (i killed kies in memory earlier)

Then I disconnected my mobile and then problem arised “Firmware Upgrade has encountered an issue”. Only Download mode is available No Recovery.

I tried the following posts from XDA for help and followed the instructions precisely. But to no avail.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 hotfile.com unavailable. Plus no bootloader available.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2345831 For failed Odin flash.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1648351

I tried to flash the following files but all failed in Odin. (Nand Write Start/Fail):

Stock JB: I9100XWLST_I9100ODDLSE_I9100DDLS9_HOME.tar.md5

Modified JB: CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar

CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar

MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar

Kernels: CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5

GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9

GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.0.2

PhilZ-cwm6-XWLP7-OXX-2.7.tar

Stock ICS: I9100XWLP7_I9100ODDLP9_I9100DDLPA_HOME.tar.md5

Stock GB: I9100XWKL1_I9100ODDKL1_I9100DDKL1_HOME.tar.md5

Now the only option that I know remaining is to flash a .pit file which if FAILED will BRICK my S2 hence I didn't dare to do this step.

I have a pit file but i am unsure to use it: GTI9100_ext4.pit

I tried different versions of Odin as well as different USB ports of my laptop. But not on a diff PC.

Finally after 4-5 days of futile searching I am finally posting my problem on XDA.

I need help from you guys. Looking forward to it.

One more thing I would like to point out is my phone has 1 year extended warranty till 28-Feb-2014, but as I have flashed my cell phone,the counter is now 18 and binary is custom. If I use a USB Jig will it clear the counter as well as restore the binary to “Samsung Official” is my question.

Awaiting your replies.

i'm reading a lot about Ubuntu Touch and it got me very intrigue indeed.

I have a stock Nexus and now somehow overnight i've got this weird reboot/restart problem all of a sudden, my phone won't stop rebooting :confused:

I did absolutely nothing to or with it, i've got pictures on my phone that i really like to save first so that's why i didn't try a factory reset yet.

My question is how can I save/copy/backup my pictures from my stock Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250 (android 4.3).

I'm a some kind of a noob, so I was hoping for a "simple" some kind of 'for dummies solution' ???

[Sony Xperia ZL] CokeJunkee:
For most of those preinstalled apps you'll need to root your device in order to uninstall them.

After rooting, the best option should be 'Titanium Backup' (find it on Google Play), it can uninstall just about everything..

If you're rooted you can also manually uninstall apps from your device, using a root explorer.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Tutadse:
Yes, Titanium Backup is the best tool for this, but take care, erasing important apps can damage your system!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
I'd give you a more descriptive answer, I had this issue when I disabled Scrapbook and used Air Command to launch it, it said that exact error.

If I were you, I would check if Scrapbook works when you launch it from the launcher. If you disabled Scrapbook anywhere, enable it back, and try again. If not, click Clear Data in Application Manager.

If this still didn't work, you will need to reflash stock ROM, your Scrapbook app may have corrupted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ornobohornish:

The only solution is not to uninstall pinboard. Pinboard is asaociated with scrapbook. So without pinboard scrapbook always will "rakeln" error! Most probably you delete or uninstall "pinboard" app.

How much time/effort did you put to solve this problem, huh?

For soft keyboard, just click on the '123' on the top left will give you a number and symbol keyboard with £ around.

For transcribe, you just draw the £ normally. If you have problem how the symbol is drawn, click on the second-from-the-left button at the bottom, click on the right-arrow to locate the £ symbol. At the top, tap on the picture for it to show you how to draw them.
