I am wondering if there are any screen protector that can help me vide the screen better outside in the sun

Right now I hate it how I am now been able to see the screen in the direct sunlight
[Nexus One Accessories] vikramdhani:
No replies yet huh!
[Nexus One Accessories] theprince10:
Have you tried any?

I had horrible luck with a mirrored one but the normal one seems to help. I need to get one of the anti-glare ones to try.
[Nexus One Accessories] lostinbeta:
I use the Clarivue Ultra-Clear protector and it's fantastic. They also-make an anti-glare protector as well...

http://www.clarivue.com/htc-nexus-one-screen-protector.html

However, keep in mind that this will only help REDUCE GLARE which may help you see better, but visibility in sunlight is a limitation of the AMOLED screen the nexus uses (and any other devices that uses AMOLED).... they just suck in sunlight. There is no way around this unless you get a phone with LCD (ie: iPhone) or SuperAMOLED (ie: Samsung Galaxy S)
[Nexus One Accessories] SBS_:
I use DCMugen's Anti-glare screen protector and it does help quite a bit with reflections on the screen. Only a slight difference in direct sunlight however.

You should keep in mind though that most anti-glare screen protectors degrade the image quality on the screen. It gets better a couple of days after the protector is applied, but it's not perfect. You should just try to order some from ebay and test them, they are like $5 for 5 screen protectors.
[Nexus One Accessories] xManMythLegend:
How does it fit ?

My box wave is a little too smallfor my screen.

If possible can you post pictures of yours ? I can never get a good seal ((borders always end up with tiny edge bubble)) and fit from boxwave.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Guys,

Have any of you come across a 'decent' Art & Drawing application?

I know there are quite a few but I'm looking for one that has realistic brushes/palette and tools.

It 'must' have an ability to use 'smear' where I can smear many colours or do a graduated colour spread.

Another nice to have would be 'pressure sensitivity' ~ whereby applying various forms of pressure gives off varying brush thickness.

Thanks in advance.

Beards :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Bother..... Just realized I've posted this in the wrong section. Should have gone in the Themes and Apps section....

Staff, please relocate, my apologies.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
I've been looking for one to, but they all seem to be just very basic finger paint programs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
That's the trouble which I have found as well.

Besides my profession I have a passion with photography and drawing.

I would handsomely pay quite a lot of there were an Art package available that you could use properly for sketch and watercolour.

Again, if anyone has any ideas please do let us know. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Not found anything that is pressure sensitive, not sure if that's even possible. I found a simple sketch app that simulates the effect based on the speed of your finger.

There might be a opportunity here for someone. I used to write art packages, but now that I work in computer graphics, I'm not sure I have the same enthusiasm for doing it in my spare time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Pressure sensitivity is possible Mark, well on Windows Mobile that is...

There's a title named DynaInk which supports pressure sensitivity and has very basic smudging effect built in.

What was the name of the title you found and did it support 'smudge/smear'?

With all the titles available one would like to believe there must be an App available that can mimic an artists drawing/painting board.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
It was Sketcher, it doesnt support the features you're looking for Mike, but with the Sketchy brush selected did allow you to get several colours on top of one another in an air-brush type fashion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Thanks Mark found it..... I like the idea but you are right, it's not my cup of tea.

Did find one of interest ~ Magic Doodle Lite

It only has the single brush in the Lite version but it does allow you to graduate your colour if you use a specific brush fill pattern.

The Pro version has 35 real artist brushes (not 8 as the Market mentions), prismacolour, acrylic, hue & saturation, pencil colour, van gogh oil, rembrandt watercolour, skin tone, cool colours, weak saturation, grey saturation, 3 greys sacle, victorian, nocturne.

More drawing & painting tools.

Eyedropper to select colours fro your paintings.

Extra zooming from 50% to 1000%

Colour bucket to quickly fill closed forms and shapes.

Smudge tool.

Symmetrical drawing tool.

Premium also has search for painting ideas.

65 modern style patterns for more inspirations.

24 colourful ethnic art models for training.

Pro version costs E1.39 (USD 1.96)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarvinTheAndroid:
Have not installed or tried, but Picsay might be worth tying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ironman666:
I have not tried this

So not sure if this is what you looking for

DoodleDroid

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-littlesunsoftware-doodledroid-tDq.aspx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Picsay is more a Photo Editor than a dedicated drawing program.

There's little to no art tools.

DoodleDroid again works with Photo's.

Basically I need to work from a blank canvass just as you would if putting chalk, pastel, paint, etc on paper.

Thanks guys.

Not what I am seeking but I do appreciate the feedback. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
So has anyone found anything better yet? I haven't had much luck in finding anything good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
The nearest I have found is Magic Doodle.

The Lite version only has the single brush whereas the full has quite a lot more.

I've given myself to looking until the end of July. If I can't find anything further to my needs then I'll pay for the full version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] PaKo0o:
Could someone please cook a ROM with Max Sense 1.03 for the Blackstone :). I searched around but couldn't find anything (only MaxSense 1.0 or 1.01) so if anyone knows of this kind of ROM please inform me, too :). I would really appreciate it Thank you :D .
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigdyl69:
Give the chefs a chance. It takes time and a lot of testing to get a release-worthy ROM and these guys all do it for free too so we all have to waiy until they're ready to cook a new ROM, especially if there are a lot of big changes to implement. I'm sure there will be a new Energy ROM with Maxsense 1.03 soon
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tigermoto:
Well said.

Well said, NRGZ28 has already made a ROM with 1.03, but there were quite a few bugs and so he pulled it. Said on his thread too, I've worked out he makes about 144 ROMs of various guises and for various devices, as well as being a moderator. Just give it time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] PaKo0o:
I didn't mean to haste them or anything, I just thought that I might give them an idea. It's ready when its ready of course , I just wanted to know if there was any development on these kinds of ROMs :).
[HD2 General] jay-red:
First off let me say that I am loving the spb mobile shell, its quicker and IMO looks much better than the sense ui. One issue i am having is that when i go to my sms threads I can see all the different contacts, but taping on any of them does nothing. I can compose a new message fine, and if i use the 3d sms viewer and click on the message it takes me to the correct reply screen.

If i disable the shell and go back to sense it works fine. Is there a fix or update that can solve this?
[HD2 General] p_synthesis:
Works fine for me. Try uninstalling/reinstalling spb mobile shell again. Make sure you install on device.
[HD2 General] jay-red:
I did that, no luck.

edit: so i tried a hard reset then installed spb first thing and it seems to be ok now.
[Droid Incredible General] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
I've had an Incredible since launch that had a defective optical trackpad. Long story short, due to Verizon's terrible customer service I did not get my replacement until yesterday. I rooted my original Incredible without problem and backed up everything with Titanium thinking it would be an easy transition over to my replacement phone.

For some reason I am not able to get Superuser to install. Everything goes fine during the root process until I get to this step:

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

I get the following error:

ln: /system/xbin/su: File exists

The root instructions say to run the following command in the event of an error:

rm /system/xbin/su

At this point I get the error:

rm: cannot remove '/system/xbin/su': Permission denied

Obviously running the final command: 'chmod 06755 su' won't work and I just receive a 'Operation not permitted' error.

I've reset to factory settings 3 times with the same result every time I root. I end up with the Superuser icon in my app drawer, but root apps will obviously not work correctly as Superuser was not installed correctly with the correct permissions. If I only do the first 2 lines of the rooting process:

/system/bin/cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su

/system/bin/chmod 4777 /system/bin/su

then reboot, certain apps such as Root Explorer will work, but anything that requires Superuser obviously will not.

Please, for the love of god someone give me some help. I'm so frustrated.
[Droid Incredible General] polarbear9711:
I had the same problem...you will want to follow the official rooting guide, as they have built the superuser into the payloadupdate.zip. Start over following the Unrevoked team: Incredible Root process (sorry, my profile is too new to post links) and you will be good to go.
[Droid Incredible General] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
You were right. I ran the Payload update from recovery, then rebooted without doing anything on the command line. Superuser was in my app drawer on reboot, and I was able to restore with Titanium backup. Thanks for the help!
[Droid Incredible General] chadstone30:
I was also getting this error. This thread helped me solve my problem. Thanks.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
yinjianweizxc,

I'm just afraid. I got this nightmare when I was 'like' flashing my iPhone and it's not going well and I couldn't restore it back. The moderator who make the restore never answer my Question. After 2 months, I have to give up.

I just didn't the same nightmare happen to me.

And I'm still looking for a clean (with X1 standart 3rd applications) ROM 6.5.3 (without HTC Sense or anything that is not originally from SE).

Can you help to show me?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Check out the comparison tests of the iphone 4 and droid x and the EVO:

http://www.macworld.com/article/152314/2010/06/iphonecameratests.html

http://www.pcworld.com/article/1998...e_iphone_4_vs_the_android_army.html?&tk=hp_fv

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/06/25/720p-droidx-iphone4/

I'm seriously curious about what our X10s can do against iphone 4's camera. All these articles states that the iphone 4 have the best smartphone camera out there. I guess i'm assuming because iphone's backside illumination does have an effect on low light conditions which turns out better on iphone's test photos.

What do you guys think?
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
Backside illumination? Are u kidding me? Its like if my ass was glowing i would never suffer from constipation.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Are you trolling?

The iPhone 4 camera produces some nice low-light pictures. The flash is over-powering, but every LED flash is like that.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
I hope it is only a matter of time before someone compares the iPhone with the X10, because I'm curious. I think we all suspect the iPhone is even better in this regard than the X10 though, but healthy competition never hurts right?
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I still don't get the obsession over the image quality in cellphone cameras. Sure it's nice to have a good camera but it's never gonna surpass a "real" one, I settle for "good enough" as the pics I take with the phone tend to be either to show someone something or to document something.
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
I am not trolling.But to think that the iphone produces good pics coz of some backside lighting its pure blasphemy. My C905 had the whole backside lighting up and going by that it should be the best cam on the planet. The sensor is probably better. I still dont see how it can beat the X10 with the camera upgrade coming with 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
I really want to see some tests too. It will be a shame if the iphone makes better photos especially when they havent been known for making good cellphone cameras like SE. I think no one has compared them because we only have the x10 in Canada and we dont have the iphone yet. And the states has the Iphone but no x10 :) I really hope X10 Makes better pics, i would be really upset if not because i think the 8.1mp camera is the one of the major features i choose to get the x10 and the only thing that can stfu aplle fanboys + the 4" Display. This would be interesting.
[XPERIA X10 General] ase3000:
Don't Worry about the X10 quality!!

Man!

The X10 rocks no matter what. I'm into photography, I took few pictures with it and I'm impressed. In my opinion:

-iPhone pictures looks pleasing but not real as they are too contrasty and saturated while the X10 looks more real.

-X10 camera gives more camera options

-LED flash is down for both phones (I prefer not to use it because it destroys the real colors)

-For video recoding SE promised 720p recording so both will be equal.

-You can still get good low light pictures with the X10 provided the image-stability feature as long as you don't have shaky hands like mine

finally check out my x10 shots :).
[XPERIA X10 General] bLack_Q:
I made a few pics to compare the 2 cams. I know, that arent the best which can be made, but I'm not a camera pro to be honest.

But to take a look at the quality of both devices they seem to be ok for me.

Thanks for the effort, but it's not very usefull unless you take the same pictures (of the same objects) with both camera's.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tom-Helge:
Now i don't have the iPhone 4 to compare to my XPERIA X10.

But i took some pictures earlier with my XPERIA X10 that i mean iPhone 4 wont even come close to.

[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
That's some d*mn nice pics, love the coloring on the first.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
wtf how did you get such beautiful pictures out the x10
[XPERIA X10 General] Tom-Helge:
The key is to use the right settings after how the circumstances is :D.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
Can we please focus this thread on a direct comparison between the 2 devices?
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
I'm not worried, the X10s camera is excellent even in low light.

At the end of the day I know I can hold my phone any way I want to and it will work :p
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
X10 takes wonderful shots in macro mode or normal if you keep the sun behind you.

Also, i day light better use EV -3 or -7 depending on the light.

Also, just don't use the image stabilization :)

Will make your pictures look beautiful on display but way too soft if you zoom in.

At the end of the day, is a good camera.

There is no way in the world comparable with my old S5 IS but still a damn good camera.

Well, my opinion.
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Wow, great pictures, guys. Does anyone have any guides on how to take better pictures with the X10? Your guys' insights have been excellent. I'm not a pro photographer but these tips have helped immensely.

I sure wish this camera had flash though. Regretfully the low light photos from even the best pros aren't as spectacular as can be. My fiance's N95 still blows the X10's camera away, at least as far as our comparison pics go. She's 100% Asian so of course she's a camera fanatic... I'm only half Asian so my picture taking skills are lacking lol :D

P.S. When we get a later version of Android, will the photo light be strong enough if someone created a camera flash application?
[XPERIA X10 General] hossiam:
I ve Tried 3gs and x10

The camera in the x10 might be better in planned shots but daily use iphone is much more clear. I know this debate will have no resolution. pardon the pun. I want to love my phone but my wifes 3gs just seems better. I will keep fighting the good fight. Just my two cents. Want a great pic use your dslr, want a fun on the spot pic use your phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
3gs seems better than our x10s? lol
[XPERIA X10 General] ase3000:
WTF!!!

3GS is better. Dude you shouldn't even use DSLR if you think 3Gs shoots better than X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lonely khan:
first of ALL am very sorry about my english...:(

i dnt have x10 but this is a joke tht 3gs got beter cam i think my x2 even x1 is beter then 3gs and and i think my older se w995 got more beter then 3gs even 100 more it will be beter then 4g huhhhhhhhhhh
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
You can get great pics using a camera phone, I have great pics from years ago when I had the k790i, the pics I have from my X10 are great as well. Of course I could take my Canon 450D everywhere but why would I want to? Here is an indoor pic I really like from my X10:
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
That's a great photo bialynia.. the depth of colour in the cats eyes and detailed texture of the fur looks great.
[XPERIA X10 General] Belazor:
A cute cat AND a cute little girl; you're lucky, Bia :)

And I second Iceman's post, the quality is amazing :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
The picture with the cat and the girl is indeed very good. But it has been downsized, and the full resolution always looks worse. Don't get me wrong, it's good quality, but to really check the quality, you have to see the full resolution picture in my opinion.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Don't tell me, you do prints from you pictures taken with X10 :D

How many times you will post an 8Mp image on the web?

Usually they get resized at 1024x or less ...

The biggest i uploaded on web from my D90 was 1280x so, what's the point?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
This was snapped with my X10. Beat that Iphone ;-)

[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
I also notice the pictures dont look as crisp wieving them in tapatalk as in mediascape :-\ but trust me, they are really really good

Sent from my X10i

Edit. I also notice the images dont upload in full size from tapatalk =( they look like crap... (sent from my stationary)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
You mean a 100% zoom looks worse? On my 48 inch LCD this picture looks fantastic full screen, of course you will see some distortions at 100% zoom but they're not nearly as pronounced as one would imagine, which is why the detail on the X10 photos are so darn good. But judging pictures based on what they look like at 100% zoom is silly since I never look at pics that way to start with.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Here is a photo (in the shade) resized:

100% crop:
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
It is not silly in the context of this thread which is supposed to compare iPhone 4 with X10, but if we keep posting pictures taken with the X10 to convince ourselves the X10 is great than this topic should be retitled to 'post your X10 pictures here!'.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
I thought you specifically questioned the quality of x10 photos at fullsize? Hence why I posted a 100% crop. In any case judging 100% crops from a 5 mp and 8 mp still makes no sense since you woud belooking at different levels of detail.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
anyone got access to any iphone4 photos to compare to?
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Lol, i don't have to convince myself :)

X10 is great :) and if you tell me iPhone 3GS/4G takes better pictures than X10, one of us should sell his DSLR :) and give up on photography...
[XPERIA X10 General] Darthhister:
In total agreement with this guy. 8.1 mp in a phone vs. 20 mp in a Canon rebel. The point is to have a phone with a camera buit in, for convinience. Not a camera with a phone built in.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:

:D Lolz.. My gf has 3gs and i just hate pic quality of 3gs :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X10 General] Astral07:
can you please share your settings? describe a couple of most often circumstances and then give your settings for it

please? :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Tom-Helge:
Everything is on default actually :D. But remember to choose to use the Simple Autofocus under Focus Modus. Or Macro Modus if your taking pictures close to a things like flowers.

The only thing i use to change on is the brightness from 0 to -0.5 to -1.0. It's all depending on how light it is outside.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
So when do you use the brightness control if it's really bright? Semi bright? Not bright?
[XPERIA X10 General] Tom-Helge:
Here is an example on when i forgot to take my brightness down before i took a picture.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7309753/DSC_0009.jpg

The picture quality is pretty nice on that picture, but the brightness was a bit to much with the sun there to.

And here you can see 2 pictures i took with my XPERIA X10 outside when it wasn't sun outside and it was a bit cloudy, so i took the brightness down to -0.3.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7309753/DSC_0019.jpg

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7309753/DSC_0027.jpg

Those pictures is also very nice in quality.
[XPERIA X10 General] Astral07:
it's kinda annoying you have to manually configure brightness every time you open the camera, i wish it could somehow save the settings...

and btw when you say everything is on auto, you mean that "capturing mode" is normaln and that "scenes" is normal, right? and by "simple autofocus" you mean, single autofocus, right? :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Tom-Helge:
Yeah your right here.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Be careful with the metering too.

Use average for landscapes, street, etc.

Center/Spot for closeups, peoples, etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] Astral07:
thanks for the tip, let's make some art! :)
