I am sorry but all I see is you whining and crying about something so simple and stupid. I mean do you honestly think they have been sitting on their a$$es this entire time? How long is the new Windows Mobile been in development? Do you think it will release sometime soon? You whine and cry and B!+ch and moan about the phone not being released for several months maybe even a couple years. So they speed it up and give it to us pretty damn fast and now you whine and moan about them not taking the time to add the basics? Last I checked at least you can take pictures. Ohhh boo hoo you can't zoom... you can't zoom on most cell phones... the zoom feature is just digital not like you can't zoom after the photo is taken or crop. Before you start blaming developers you should be happy to just have one in your hands. To cry and moan about not having the features you want in a 1st generation phone is stupid, and you don't deserve one if that is all you are going to do.

BTW... open source is the greatest feature about the phone. It allows anyone and everyone to fully modify the crap out of our phones. the iPhones are now locked... and I am sure that the new windows mobile will be too. Embrace the developers around you... you never know which one is gonna make the next version of android.
[G1 General] sino8r:
Humm... a camera that can't zoom never heard of one, except those cheap, desposable 35mm cameras. Did I even mention that? Nope... But that is what you can expect from a non-contributing newbie... And btw, we have been modding WM way before you were here or your precious Android OS. Do you even know what basics are? They are what one SHOULD START WITH. Skipping the basics is just foolish. About development, don't forget about WM6.1. They develop their software until it is ready. Alot more things to deal with than Android. As of right now at least. I didn't cry or moan about any release. I rather they get it right before a release. What are you talking about?Why are you quoting me if you didn't read what I wrote?! This is supposed to be a smartphone not basic p.o.s. cellphone. It SHOULD HAVE ZOOM, video recording, and ambience controls. I'm not saying I don't like my new G1... just a little disappointed in the way Google wants the 3rd party developers to do their OWN developers work for them. But this what we get for trusting a search engine to develop a mobile OS, lol! How dare you say WM is locked down?! How is it locked down? We have a WHOLE FORUM THAT WOULD BEG TO DIFFER FROM YOUR STUPID STATEMENT!Go say that in the development and hacking section! What have they been doing for years now! Apple is locked but not Windows Mobile... This is first non-WM device on this forum! You sir, are mildly retarded... to say the least!
[G1 General] syrusfrost:
You sure are full of a lot of WHINE and ***** for an early adopter. Maybe you're just not cut out for this. If you really are going to let this phone turn every post into a slurry of barely legible insults I suggest you take the G1 back to the store while you are still within the 14 day remorse period and buy it again when you start getting jealous of all of us who can sit tight without opening our mouths and making fools of ourselves.

Cooled down yet? Hope so.

Comparing a 6.1 platform to a 1.0 platform is a little deceptive.

All of this over a camera application... Yea the current camera application is basic, I agree. It will be updated of course and that's enough for me... And keep in mind that through most of your argument you really aren't differentiating between digital and optical zoom. I can't think of any more than one or two monstrosities that have optical zoom. All the rest is digital, and what is the problem with cropping your photos when you are done taking them, it's exactly the same as a digital zoom, and you can be a little more careless about how centered you shoot when you take the photo. That's the way I've always taken photos... I do agree though, it needs a better feature set in the camera application.

I'm just pointing out that basic camera functionality is fine.

And I don't believe Google is being irresponsible in leaving something to be desired. What if the experts at Cannon/Kodak etc decide to write competing camera applications? We would all win, the apps would be higher quality and more feature rich than anything Google could EVER whip up. Google has left the door open for them to do it...
[G1 General] Yos025:
Agree with you 150%... Anyway it is a camera, I dont buy a smart phone for a camera... Do you remember when Windows CE came out???? Sucked... and that was the beginning of Windows on smart phones, now compare it to Android 1.0. There is no comparison with this OS...
[G1 General] ranger7424:
So far Android is a hell of a lot better than WM ever was, I can remember rebooting my WM phones several times within the first couple days due to lock ups and low memory issues. So far I have yet to need to reboot the phone for any issues like this. Who cares about the camera, I have never seen a good camera phone, they are just good for taking decent quick photos thats it. Want a good camera buy a real camera.
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
I personally think they did a great job with Android so far. Just wait, later on people will be asking for a "vanilla" version- which is what we have right now

I also think the camera works as good as any I have ever used on a cell phone. I love the 2 position button, and my real camera doesnt do barcodes either:D
[G1 General] Yos025:
The only time I use my phone camera is actually when I forget mine good camera and I am in a baseball game or something like that... BTW you are right about restarting WM because of low memory issues. It used to drive me crazy... Android is by far more stable... Even keeping 6 apps open at one time
[G1 General] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
agreed that it could use some more features and that they will be coming. That was kinda the promise of Android from day 1: it's open source so anyone can make anything for it. As an aside, I'm guessing that's a no on that flash/camera app since monday is almost over.
[G1 General] Yos025:
It's coming at 9pm pacific time which is about 5 minutes away easter time
[G1 General] syrusfrost:
Weeelll poop, you had me excited there for a while.

And the previous post about CE, I almost forgot about that!

When you compare Android 1.0 to CE and the first iPhone release I personally feel that Google is doing an awesome job.

Keep in mind that MS decided to run normal binaries on CE, and we have apps even today on winmo that can crash the OS. Apple is just as guilty, just crammed MacOS in a phone, have a look at the software dev environment if you don't believe. Neither company did ANYTHING signifigant except for rehashing an old idea, stealing code meant for nothing short of a desktop PC, gutting it and putting what was left in a handheld.

Let's look at Google's choice of kernel, linux. Well when you think of linux you think of Ubuntu, Gentoo etc... Linux is not an OS, it's a kernel. For the uninitiated short aside. To keep it simple, binaries and libraries make up the operating system. You take the Linux kernel (which is quite small if you don't include every module in the world... common practice with those public distros), and you start with an init binary, which initializes hardware and passes execution on accordingly and strap binaries on top until you can call it an operating system. You strap only what you need, that's the true Linux way. The Linux kernel has been used in embedded devices for ages because of that flexibility. If the operating system is constructed properly on top of the kernel, you can prevent crashes. Android uses virtual machines, which are a very small kernel run on top of the linux kernel. If the virtual machines crash, they are wiped and the real kernel is fine. So this is where you get all of this unprecedented speed and stability from.

Not only did Google release a very, very stable distro (no OS crashes reported yet are there?), they constructed an ENTIRE new app framework. Every app is written in Java (android Java), compiled into virtual machine code. Everything is sandboxed in a VM... Robust transparent memory management. Everything is lightweight and powerful. It's impressive for 1.0, they just re-engineered mobile computing.

So yeah... no matter what I'm willing to wait.
[G1 General] neoobs:
And that is the key to the entire phone... it can't crash if it is sandboxed (as long as we are both thinking the same thing when we say sandboxed) Sure you get application crashes... but the OS can't crash.
[G1 General] sino8r:
I wonder what happened to the camera/video app? I hope it comes soon. And yes it's not a camera it's a phone first off. I just hope ambience control comes along soon especially on a pda with no flash. And as far as the android OS goes, it is a lot more stable than wm was at the beginning. Well, I started using wm since the wm 2003 se os was around so I can't really say the beginning but anyways. Still pretty impressive as far as stability goes. It's just really different, will take some getting used to. Still has a lot of potential. I guess wm spoiled me as far as options go but I'm sure android will catch up. It will just take some time. I just need to learn to be patient. But I still like it though and the 3 mp camera will turn out great soon enough even in lower light, I'm sure.
[G1 General] jkiller122:
camera double beep

I was playing with the camera and I lightly pressed and hold the button to take a picture and it beeped twice and there was a green light at the right bottom corner of the screen, anyone knows why it does this,I'm not saying it's a problem I'm just curious.
[G1 General] Mikey:
Half pressed-focus

full press-takes the pic
[G1 General] addicus:
I think this post should be stickied in every Dream/G1 forum. Great breakdown on what Google has accomplished with Android and how it will forever change mobile computing.
[G1 General] tks989:
cam needs to be changed imo
[G1 General] giantcrazy:
I'm a huge fan of this phone, but one clear failing it has is the camera. It just out and out sucks.

I don't use my phones as cameras anyhow, but if I did, I'd be disappointed with it.
[G1 General] OminousPrime:
If so that'd be great - video really is a necessity these days with mms - and those lowlight photos are horrible! Most Halloween pics had to be scrapped.

On the plus side, the RC29 update gets a cheers with beer raised for me for speeding the thing up. I spend my first two nights with the G1 frustrated that I couldn't take selfphotos and had to delete 10/11 blurry pics of the kids.

The update sped the camera up quite a bit. Quality is not as top notch as it is with taking stills, but I was blown away when snapping pics of the kids on the swings today and didn't have a single pic with tracers.
[G1 General] syrusfrost:
Green light means it's focused and ready to take a pic. Takes about half the time away, press all the way for a picture at that point and no waiting for focus.

[G1 General] saiweb:

[G1 General] brooklynite:
Someone compared this to the camera on HTC WING which I also have.

The camera is AutoFocus, big difference, if you want a demo for yourself, hold the camera within 1 inch of your computer screen and take a picture of the text on the screen, then try to do the same with WING or another phone camera. I always take pictures of text instead of taking notes and the WING was a big problem because I couldn't take pictures of information on product boxes or my XM Satellite Radio screen in case I liked some song or some error message on my car's lcd screen.

The camera in its current state takes slightly BLUE pictures, I went to the beach the other day with bright sun and tried taking pictures and they all have a strong BLUE hue effect on them. I also took pictures later when the sun was a bit down in the backyard with friends and everyone was blurred as they moved a bit as the shutter was very slow but the colors were fine and not blue. The brighter it is the more BLUE it gets.
[G1 General] neoobs:
This just goes to show you all the things we could play with once the camera is set... could you imagine all the settings that can be made? I just hope they have something like the Point and Shoot cameras that don't blur images.
[G1 General] jcostantino:
You can use PicSay to change color temperature. Nothing can be done about the shutter speed (yet) though. I gotta say I'm very used to every cameraphone taking really lousy pictures and being worthless with anything in motion. At least this camera takes VERY good pictures of things that are stationary.
[G1 General] haitiankid4lyf:
I actually like this camera, to quote what someone previously posted "if you wan't a good camera go buy one" why would someone put a $300 camera in a phone the same price as a motorola razr2? However what the camera really needs is a flash this I believe is htc fault

$1,000,000,000.00 to whoever can put a flash on the camera :)

Also still waiting for that video recorder, c'mon google even the sidekick can record vide (to some extent)
[G1 General] usmc2k:
Actually i remember seeing an app in the market for the shutter speed ! Its called Shutter Speed lol... But never used it camera works good for me : )
[G1 General] benmyers2941:
The Shutter Speed application is a caluculator for determing appropriate shutter speed for professional photogrophers. It does not effect the camera on the phone in any way.

how to save pictures ONLY on sd card?

i read the thread and it says you can only take and save pictures if you have a media card but i'm trying to figure out how to only save pictures on my sd card and not on the pictures app on the phone. i tried to save pics on sdcard folder and delete pics on picture folder on phone but then it ends up deleting the pictures on the sdcard too...

any help?

thanks a bunch,

hbguy
[G1 General] ghoonk:
For those of you having issues with the camera, go to Market and download SnapPhoto. Been beta testing it for Anthony and it works pretty good -- images are warmer, and no longer restricted to 85% quality. It also introduces anti-banding, effects like solarise, pastel, negative, etc, as well as white balance controls.
[G1 General] neoobs:
The pictures app reads pictures from your SD Card. As far as I know... no picture is ever saved on the phone by default. And the picture app will read every picture on the sd card.
[G1 General] hbguy:
neeobs,

congrats on the promotion first of all, you are definitely a good fit. okay well i see what you mean. okay then, i hit camera button on phone and hit menu for setting and hit pictures to view pictures. how do i hide certain pictures showing up that way.

thanks for your help,

hbguy
[G1 General] neoobs:
Thank you, as far as I know and can tell.. at current there is no hide feature. Would be nice in the future but as we all know... android has a long ways to go.
[G1 General] hbguy:
your welcome, damn, i want a hide feature for all of the pictures we don't want people to see (explicit or not haha). because i get antsy when people want to play with my phone, a breach of privacy haha

android does have a long way to go but its a pretty good first start, i feel like a g1 crack addict already and its still not even the good stuff yet lol (i'm clean just fyi haha)

hbguy
[G1 General] neoobs:
Well seeing what they did with Picasa 3 I am sure we can get something like that on the G1 eventually.
[G1 General] demontefixo:
Move them to a different directory on your SD card.

--M
[G1 General] hbguy:
i made a new folder thru android/linda file manger and i check dcim and default pictures and they dont show up since i delete them, however when i actually use the camera and look at the pictures, they are still there

i think neeobs hit the pin on the needle on this one :(

hbguy
[G1 General] neoobs:
Sadly the picture app scans the SD card for all pictures no matter what directory they are on.
[G1 General] demontefixo:
Thanks, couldn't remember if it did.

Camera Issue

Im having a problem with my camera app. When I launch it will crash and then withing 3 to 5 minutes it will crash my g1. Is anyone else having the same problem.
[G1 General] demontefixo:
I am not having this problem. Are you on a Mod RC30 or the OTA RC30? I also use the SnapPhoto...it rocks! (what the G1 should have come with.)

--M
[G1 General] klatz:
OTA I belive
[G1 General] kormanb1123:
try to download and install from andr market snapshot app. perhaps it solve your problem. 1more Q: have you had this before?
[G1 General] klatz:
snapshot crashes my whoooole phone , and ive had this since rc30
[G1 General] kormanb1123:
So, is it Rc 30 update OTA(over the air) or moded from this site?
[G1 General] demontefixo:
weirdness... if you installed snapshot before, uninstall before upgrading, usually 'fixes' klingons.
[G1 General] klatz:
Do you guys think I should FLASH it back or to RC30
[G1 General] demontefixo:
Try uninstalling "Snap Photo" first, then reinstall it. If you still have funkieness then we'll have to look at what else is on your phone, etc.

--M
[G1 General] klatz:
Even with it stock , it still crashes the phone "with no apps installed, fresh re-installed". So does anyone have the guide to flash the android.
[G1 General] klatz:
anyone have any ideas for me to try? Im nothing with out my camera lol
[G1 General] masr1979:
Make sure the SDcard is properly inserted. Yes I know it sounds silly, but sometimes it's little things like this that give us the biggest headaches.
[G1 General] klatz:
o, its definately in . Im just going to trade it in for a iphone :-^
[G1 General] klatz:
got it to work, seems the ribbon was off , but now.. look at the pics :'(

g1 camera

Why does this camera suck! Everything on this device is GREAT except the camera. I've had older devices with better looking pictures. Is there any way to ge the camera software from some other HTC device and port it to the g1? I ussually don't use the camera but when I do, that's when I really need it.
[G1 General] gdbjoe:
+1

I can't get the white balancing correctly working, every shot is cr@p.

I still remember my old good days with a Nokia 6630, a 1 Mpixel camera and very brilliant pictures... :-/
[G1 General] anandus:
A bump.

Anybody know how to improve the camera?

I got a G1 since last week, and I'm quite amazed at the bad quality of the camera.

Is there an app to improve the white-balancing for instance?

Or is there any tweak I can do to improve the quality?

(I'm running Cyanogenmod 6RC2, btw)
[G1 General] Tautvydas:
Yup, it would be good to know, if anything changed, maybe some app or software/hardware optimization tweak came in?
[G1 General] gringo69:
i know the last post is from last week.....but the stock camera app on the new cm6.1 is pretty fkn sweet now

u can change the whitebalance on the cam....u can turn on or off the autofocus feature in the for pix or videos.....in videos u can change the whitebalance while recording and the brightness and theyre not usin the hacked drivers anymore...they pulled the drivers from the official 2.2 rom for the mt3g

i think its a pretty good upgrade for the camera from what it was before

when i was running cm6 i would use camera360 pro on a normal basis....and i liked vignette for the fake hdr effect for editing photos on the phone:D

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Himbeertoni67:
Hello all,

I have updated my P30 pro to version VOGUE-L29C 10.1.0.179(C431E23R2P5) according to instructions posted here (dload). So far so good. Unfortunately, the smartphone is now no longer recognized by any PC via USB. Old backups from a USB stick can also not be used. It can only be charged via USB. I have already tried to check the USB port via the menu *#*#2846579#*#*. No preassignment is displayed. Setting any option has no effect.

I also can't reset the smartphone with any older version. I have tried several. The update reports an error when checking and restarts the smartphone. Recovery is also blocked so I can't perform a wipe.

Has anyone else observed this effect and possibly a solution or a tip for me? My main problem is that no file or photo transfer is possible via USB.

In the developer options, all settings for ADB via USB, USB file transfer and OEM unlock were enabled.

Thanks for your time and support.

Best regards from Germany.

Andreas
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] andrei80:
I've had that problem on a p30 pro. Headphones, TV out, super charging all worked, but not data connection to pc, absolutely no reaction besides charging. I've read that forcing update did that to some phones, but updating from phone to the next version would solve that. Didn't solve it for me, when it updated... I could access its memory using Huawei share and network neighborhood from Files. Bought it that way and sold it after 1 month.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ostwindxi:
I am using a 50 watt wireless charger, in the past when put the phone on, usually the fan will active immediatelly as super charging, but now looks the fan hardly active, and the battery increase slowly.

Also looks like the wired super charging still ok. Anyone who has the same feeling?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ostwindxi:
Also there is a function names "Service card" in Homany OS, which looks not proviced in EMUI 12. to enlarge the app icon and pin on the desktop. Tried to search in configuration it looks have the name of Service card but no function.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] _4279:
There is a setting in the battery section and tells you that your phone will learn how you use it and decide how it is going to be charged
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] _4279:
Probably if you are in U.S, in case if you did not know, U.S banned Huawei and hence 9 out of 10 Huawei cool features are not currently available in U.S

Ive searched and searched but i can find anything. Whenever someone sends me a message that is larger than 160 characters i often receive a message like multimedia message has been modified and i need to have the person resend me the second part of the message. this is very frustrating. i haven't gotten this message lately so i dont no if thats exactly wat it says. i dont think i get this message if i receive the sms from another windows mobile fone, it only seems to happen with non-windows mobile smartphones, which are what most of my friends have. Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it
[Mogul, XV6800 General] AFAngryWarrior:
SMS 160

Most providers limit Standard SMS to 160 char, EMS can sepearate them which most PDAs have. If you want longer texts your friends have to send you MMS (pix messages) with just text and no pictures.

So I got this phone with a miui 12.5, it freezes all the time and I can't connect wifi, it just crashes when I try to. I tought of flashing a miui 11 ROM on it but I can't do it since my bootloader is locked, and I can't use miflash because I can't access the internet from the phone to put any kind of account on it. what options do I have? Is this phone lost forever? Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] FreakyJoost:
I'm not sure, but possibly flashing in BROM could work.

However I was unaware this phone has a MIUI 11 firmware.
