The camera is amazingly better.

1) Much higher light sensitivity --> less noise, less blur in dark conditions

2) Much faster, focuses automatically, immediately takes the picture when you press the button

3) The flash is great, easily illuminates a room of up to 20qm or objects in up to 4m distance in darkness

The camera is amazing. Much much better than the one in the HD. Of course still not good as cameras found in some camera/dumbphones, but very good for a smartphone. Much better than most competing smartphones, like tue Droid or iPhone.

Here's some comparison shots between the HD2 and the HD, there you can see how much better it is: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=147444
[HD2 General] futurama:
ah, excellent.

Thanks to everyone who left constructive advice, the HD2 is greatly improved.

Thats definately given me more confidence.

So have they solved the pink photo problem?
[HD2 General] jgtthd:
acutally i think the camera is fine, maybe the flash is a bt too bright but takes good pics.

i found that on the white balance option if i changed it to the icon that looks like an upside down light bulb the pink hue disappeared! and took great pics.
[HD2 General] Beards:
It would be better to keep this question locked to the topic that is covering it don't you think....

Otherwise you are going to get fragmented disinformation where one topic is saying one thing whilst the other could be saying different. :)
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Here's some comparison shots between the HD2 and the HD where you can see how much worse the HD2 is: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4958710&postcount=27

Note particularly the third and fourth images, and how much more detail the HD captures.

EDIT: I include this in the interests of balanced reporting, I make no claim that it is necessarily any more authoritative than maati's link - peruse both and make your own mind up.
[HD2 General] Kridek:
The best improvement on this "side" in the new LED flash... but except this.... It's the best HTC camera I've tested (including Magic / Hero)... but it's still an HTC camera :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] maati:
@Shasarak

I honestly can't believe that those shots are from the HD. I've still got an HD myself and the HD2's camera is a HUGE improvement. Nothing less than amazing, except for the 'pink spot issue'.

Look at this: HTC Touch HD is on top, HD2 at the bottom.

(I've even done several pictures with the HD and I took the best one!)

And this is in good conditions! In bad conditions, the difference becomes enormous, because the HD2's sensor has greatly improved light sensitivity.

@Kridek

HTC uses the same cameras as other manufacturers do. They don't make those chips themselves, they buy them from the same suppliers that other handset makers get their chips from. The only difference is software.

I don't know why people always think that HTC cameras are worse than those used by others, because that's clearly not true. Of course thicker handsets like Nokias or some Sony Ericsson ones have better cameras because they can use bigger sensors and optics, but HTC's cameras are just as good as others in comparable (i.e. thin) phones.

I use pocket player. It does everything I need, sound quality is good and it has a great library.

Nitrogen - free, cool .. but has some minor bugs .. occasional stutter and some mp3 can't be played. But hey, it's rather young project.

CorePlayer - not free, not as good controls, but usable, and has best audio quality (I mean NO stutters ever, if you check 'higher priority for audio').

And on Xperia you have media panel. It works. But I play songs by folders, not by albums or playlist, so no joy for me.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shey.py:
try s2p with s2u2 (just disable all the autolock stuff).. I love it just because it turns itself on when plugin headphones or connecting a stereo bluetooth device and it stop she music and closes when you remove them.. Sound quality is similar to wmp bc it uses its engine (though i gotta say its ok) To me, this is the most convenient music player (it does playlists too)

however, i've been pushed by a friend to try core player (i don;t if i got it right..) He told me that was the best player he tried so far.. then again, he has a raphael... so dunno...

for convenience, i like s2p (mainly if your lazy or dont want to hunt down for the player and kill it later :D)

Hi, Do you want an audio player or Vedio player?

If you need the first one, Pocket Player will be better.

Coreplayer is good for vedio, but only WMP could work with X.264 code.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enjoysp:
If you need the Audio Player, Pocket Music Player will be better.

Pocket Music Player supports X-Bass and Preamp. X-Bass + Some Custom EQ + Preamp made very good sound.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice2kewl:
Hi,

I've recently purchased a htc hero from the UK. It has an SEA ROM on it [2.73.728.5]. I've been looking to upgrade to the latest official UK ROM but understand I cannot do this "the official way", so XDA to the rescue!

Anyhow, been generally reading around here and unlockr regarding the ROM upgrade process. Seems I have to downgrade first, then root, then upgrade the rom, etc. However I haven't attempted anything just yet.

Yesterday I was rebooting my phone and whilst keeping the back and power buttons pressed [for no apparent reason], a fastboot menu popped up! So seems the previous owner has been fiddling too.

Now my question is, with the fastboot menu already on my htc hero, where do I go from here in order to upgrade my ROM? Because I have the fastboot menu, does this mean the device is already rooted?

Appreciate if you could advise and link me to a guide/tutorial that continues from here [fastboot menu].

Thanks!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
get amon_ra's recovery image, set your phone into fastboot mode, plug in usb, then type in command prompt:

But after exploring the board, I saw button-like thing and it look just like button battery...I just want to know whether blue angel have any internal battery or whatsoever...And what is the model number..? I dont know the model number cos i cant pry open the battery casing...

p/s : I also saw ATi chipset on this PDA...nice:D

yes. all wm2003 ppcs do, its how they retain information when being powered off.

its all stored in RAM, that has to be kept alive. without the backup battery anytime you powered it off byebye OS/programs. youd have to recalibrate+reinstall.

as for model, wiki should have something. I don't know it. sorri.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier6303:
What you have right there (in the youtube vid)is the modified recovery console. What you need to do is load a rom onto your sd card and flash it.

You may have a rom already installed and just need to wipe (not sure though)

Try this from that screen:

1. Alt+W (wipe)

2. Reboot

If that doesnt work, then you need to load a rom and flash it. If you are trying to get cyans latest rom then you need to flash the HTC image first then flash the cyan image

Neither Pocket Internet Explorer nor Opera works; same result (Error Code 500: Internal Server Error).

I have retrieved the certificate from the mailserver, copied it to the X1, installed it and restarted the phone. Same result (doesn't work, same error code).

Is the access to webmail enabled Microsoft Exchange servers restricted on the X1? Can Exchange block access from cellphones? Is anyone reading this able to access Exchange webmail via SSL?
