It's easy to compare a 20mp camera with a 4mp one, it's like comparing a Playstation 4 with a Nintendo NES.

The real battle will be with the final software of M9 vs S6 and Note 4 for the crown of the best camera
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
as far as HTC is concerned they are updating the M8 camera, HTC camera was never tweaked for pure auto, since day one since the HTC diamond it was all about control in the camera app

we have this wide spread panic about the camera everytime an HTC is released

it will not win against the N6/N4 or i6 in Auto so get over it, you are advanced enough not to care
[One (M9) General] Rage1ofakind:
Apparently people don't like tinkering with settings. This annoys me every time I hear it. They love to complain about 'Phone' cameras but don't want to take the advantage of actually using the software tweaks that the manufacturer allows them to make.

I LOVE the sky shots on my HTC One M7, Hamdirs sharpness settings works wonders, such a simple thing to do but it makes a big difference.

I have faith in the HTC One M9s 20mp camera, in its final form it'll be a treat, specially when you tinker about with the sharpness. Like that previous comparison between the M8, you can clearly see that the software updates have made an improvement.
[One (M9) General] hamdir:
apparently you need a master's in Smartphone usage in order to go to image adjustments > sharpness > slide into -2 or -1.5 if you like just a bit of sharpness/smduging, but you will need a full PHD in order to you realize that -2 sticks for good even after an OTA update

;)
[One (M9) General] Rage1ofakind:
LOL. That made me laugh ??. Taiwan release next week. HTC probably putting the final touches on their software, not long to go :)
[One (M9) General] th3:
True that.

That's what will dictate sales in the end.

But to me, if it's any better than the M8 cam, and somewhat useable in low light, I'll jump to it.

The pictures above look promising...

I just can't stand if it turns out a regression. Only fanboys will stand for that.

Are you able to comment on the bokeh (depth of field) effect on the M9, specifically compared to uFocus on the M8? I love uFocus, and since I heard the M9 was only going to have one lens, that's been my only major concern about upgrading.
[One (M9) General] Adam182:
I heard even though its only got one lens this time its still bokeh.

huehuehue - Adam
[One (M9) General] Semantics:
In all fairness, the bar wasn't set high for the camera to be better than the M8. From early reviews on beta software, the camera is still the main weakness of the phone, and will probably remain behind Samsung, LG, and Apple.
[One (M9) General] th3:
I think - with a little tweaking - the M8 cam was pretty darn good for a phone quick shooter. I've attained some really clear and detailed shots with it (just not zoomable, which I don't care for).

I mean, it's helped me a lot day-to-day in Manual mode, and I'm the lousiest shooter you'll ever find (hate unnatural, despise waiting).

What about color accuracy and temperature? The M8 had really warm colors and I didn't like that. I prefer cooler colors, more natural.

Thanks in advance!
[One (M9) General] Rage1ofakind:
Apparently the M9s screen is brighter and less washed out (not saying the m8 was washed out, but the m9 just looks a bit more vibrant).
[One (M9) General] Genetic517:
I watched a hands on video that said the screen had a cooler color than the m8.
[One (M9) General] vegetaleb:
Yep I always thought M7-M8 screen were superior to every other screens, but since I saw the Note 4 one... damn!

It was brighter,sharper,more detailed...
[One (M9) General] SPreston2001:
Yeah the Note 4 has the best the display in the game at this point. That thing is gorgeous!!

[One (M9) General] th3:
The standard S6 is cheaper than the M9 (and had the same screen performance as the Edge model)

[One (M9) General] vegetaleb:
The ordinary S6 is like all the older galaxy models, meaning crappy design, only the Edge is worth looking at.

Let's hope we will see lot of samples of the M9 today (Monday 16th) as it's out in Taiwan.

The reviewers and test users can finally show us the photos.

I hope the M9 will be at least on par with the Note 4 for the camera
[One (M9) General] Rage1ofakind:
This reviewer just posted a lovely photo on Instagram / Twitter. Writing 'Who said the HTC One M9 can't do good night shots? ;) #HDR'

Perhaps HTC founds out there is purple tint and halted the M9...

[One (M9) General] desiregeek:
I have an iPhone 6 and compared the pictures of which I took at the HTC shop here in Taipei fro the display model they had out of the new HTC ONE M9 and found the pictures taken with my iPhone 6 to be superior and better in quality when compared to the new camera in the HTC ONE M9. Not sure why but HTC always goes back to its original roots of stinginess and places the cheaper camera module in their HTC Smartphones. If they would only pay the extra $1 or 2 and place a better camera in there would be great.
[One (M9) General] th3:
I'll test one out alongside the M8 in a few days within the store... It can't be that bad (!?)

Sent using Tapatalk
[One (M9) General] desiregeek:
The HTC ONE Store was all light up and the mall was light up too but not as light up as the HTC Store inside the mall so when I took a picture of the inside mall from inside the HTC STORE the picture turned out dark and ugly. Tried several times to take a picture but results kept coming out similar. A good camera would not have these problems. I suppose if you took one outside in bright daylight the picture might be ok. I also zoomed in on some of the pictures I took with the smartphone inside the store and they all showed a lot of grain. The other bad part if you are picky is that the LCD panel has some blueish/Greenish tint to it. Otherwise it ran well.

What I did not like too much that HTC did not offer on this smartphone was more LTE Bands like iPhone does or like Sony does on the Z3 along with the Nexus 6. If one travels between Asia and America they will not be able to get 4G LTE off say T-Mobile in America and then say any carrier in Taiwan,Hong Kong,China or Thailand for 4G LTE where on the iPhone 6 I get 4G LTE on all countries. The new Qualcomm 810 Chipset does offer support for 20 bands. Not sure why HTC limited these Bands to just 5-7 bands for one region. Kind of defeats the purpose of the new Qualcomm 810 Chipset coming with 20 Bands of LTE Service Worldwide to make smartphones world phones.

Did you have enough time to check the pictures that closely?

[One (M9) General] vegetaleb:
Dunno what HTC could do to make the camera better apart reducing the jpeg compression to 0.

A Note 4 photo taken in the same situation will be 1.5x eve 1.8x larger in Mb than a photo taken with M9, and yes it matters a lot when we talk about a 20mp module, normally it should be the M9 photos that should weight more than Note 4 ones.

I have a DSLR for photos, the camera quality on the M9 isn't a dealbreaking situation for me, anything better than what I currently have on the M8 is just simply a positive - Adam
[One (M9) General] vegetaleb:
I also have a Nikon DSLR and of course none phone camera can take as good photos as the Nikon, though I can't carry my DSLR in all and every situations where I could take photos, for example at the beach/swimming pool, night clubs, jogging in outdoor beautiful places...
[One (M9) General] Adam182:
Please don't tell me your a selfie stick toting nightclub goer....

For me personally if somethings worth taking a picture of, its worth doing it properly and I will have my DSLR on such occasions.

However one feature I would very much welcome is the ability to shoot RAW on my mobile phone - Adam

[One (M9) General] Corduroy-21:
These photos have been posted before. They are Day 1 photos from the reviewers that had the HTC One M9 prior to the Barcelona release.

You chose the worst from the bunch. The first one looks like it is out of focus. The last one probably is with the Ultrapixel front camera.

There are better pictures from other reviewers, however all of them were with non-finalized software.
[One (M9) General] th3:
First part is irrelevant. I never saw them posted here before (you can prove otherwise)

Second part is wildly negative conjecture. I only just saw the link, it's called sharing.

Third part is even worse, selective reading. You ignored the part when I laughed at their M8 samples (meaning the reviewer obviously hasn't a clue about photography and is taking massively botched pictures - aka they mean nothing).

Thanks for trying to attack me because you thought I'm making HTC look bad, though.

Hello friends. I'm using elife e7 and trying to build aosp 5 to it. when i try to boot my phone with new boot.img its going to fastboot mode immediatily. don even write logcat.

i said nevermind about new boot.img and opened and re pack the stock boot.img and its still going to fastboot mode.

i investigate almost every file in pphone. there is 3 or 4 file that i'm suspect of them. there is a secure_boot_check in sbin folder and bootprof file in proc folder.

disabled every file i saw but its still going fastboot.

note:its not about .img file's size. i have two different stock boot.img. two of them are booting and different sizes.

what do you think about this situation?

Hello,

I have a question with which you can help me. Can I use an android TV box (MiniX Neo X8) as a bluetooth receiver (like the Logitech's bluetooth audio adapter). Does it exist any app which let do that?

I currently have the Logitech adapter, which is a very easy and nice way to listen Spotify music from my smartphone, tablet and laptop. Lately, I have been thinking about buying an android box and it would be awesome if I can use it as a media player for the TV and as a bluetooth adapter. In this way, I wouldn't need to be switching the wire of the speakers from the android box to the bluetooth receiver.

In the other hand, is it possible to leave the android box switched on always?

Thank you!

I'm working on this concept for a better android browser at the moment. It's based on Chrome for Android, but materialised.

Tell me what you think.

IMPORTANT: This is only a concept, I am no dev. Just to make that clear :)

White theme mobile view:

Picture 2: Google Search + Url-bar would be animated like this

http://media2.giga.de/2015/02/play-store-movies-toolbar.gif

Picture 5: shows taskbar + tabswitcher

Dark theme mobile view:

White theme tablet view:

Settings, dark tablet view and other stuff coming soon.
[General Topics] xPr0metheus:
Updated screens:

white theme:

dark theme:

What I imagine for the settings:

Basic settings:

- Startpage

- Search Engine

- Autofill

- Password settings

- Security

- Zoom settings

(maybe more will be added)

Advanced settings:

- Tabs: Switch between "Recent Apps View" and "Standard Browser View"

- Bookmarks: Switch between list and tile view

- Exit menu: Activate/Deactivate Advanced Exit menu, which contains

close all tabs

clear cache/cookies

clear search history

- Switch theme

(maybe more will be added)

Updated the white theme, which now has a tinted bar - for the dark theme, does anyone know how I can get the fitting color code for the tinted bar? For the white I just took from an app with white background.

Also edited two of the pictures (for each theme):

background now darkens and no shadows
[General Topics] TheArc:

[General Topics] xPr0metheus:
Added more details to tab view, one approach with floating action button to open new tab

Incognito tabs would be grey and always ordered after normal tabs

as in normal chrome there would be also the option to list tabs in recent view instead
[General Topics] gilbequick:
Looks good, keep at it.
[General Topics] xPr0metheus:
More work on the tab concept done, applied some changes:

1. Maximum tabs increased to 12

2. If only one tab is open, there would be no tab shown in the tab view.

3. If you open one tab, there would be two tabs shown in the tab view (current tab and new tab)

Pictures for the dark theme:

space between tabs when there are four tabs next to each other (from 10 tabs on) is not perfect yet.
[General Topics] xPr0metheus:
Reworked the older pictures and started working on settings + bookmarks.

"Changelog":

1. Statusbar icons don't darken with background

2. Fixed some wrong sized squares in tabview

3. Added tint to dark theme statusbar

4. Added bookmark menu

5. Added settings menu

Settings white theme:

bookmarks white theme:

[General Topics] xPr0metheus:
New idea of the tabsview: Always one page on screen, indicators on the bottom show how many tabs are open. Opening animations is a circle to square animation (like app drawer) from the top left to the bottom right.

Also changed the first page, it's now simpler. Instead of icons on the bottom you have now words (inspired by new samsung touchwiz) and you can swipe thru tabs, bookmarks and synchro (need a better name, it means open tabs on other devices), so no new pages are needed for that.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorge_quintanilha:
Hello there,

I'm running CM11 20141223 NIGHTLY on my XT1033, and everything is working fine so far, with the exeception of USB communication. I develop my stuff on my desktop, which is running W7. Consider the following scenarios:

1) If I plug it in MTP mode (debugging deactivated), it won't find. Windows tries to install a USB Composite Device driver and fails.

2) If I plug it in PTP mode (debugging still deactivated), Windows installs a Moto G driver and access the DCIM camera folder normally (that's what I've been using to "push" files into it, and then move it with file manager with temp su access).

3) In both MTP and PTP mode, but with debugging activated, Windows detects it as a USB Composite Device. On Device Manager it shows up with the yellow triangle warning icon, but I can't seem to update it (tried with the extra Android drivers that comes with ADT).

4) Neither adb nor fastboot can detect the device. Which is weird because on my notebook, running windows 8.1, I got the same situation but adb (only, fastboot still can't) can detect it.

5) I also installed Koush universal ADB Drivers on both machines.

Does anyone have some insight on the matter? Should I get rid of Koush?

I don't intend on upgrading to CM12 anytime soon. In fact, I did it some weeks ago, but I'm more confortable with CM11 so I rolled back to it.
