I use vintage app because I noticed on long-shots it's actually more focused and sharper than the x10's
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Vintage? Do you mean Vignette?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I don't think it really matters since the flash on the camera is horrible....they might as well not even of put it there....its useless lol.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I find that if you keep you settings pretty basic its quicker....add all the special thing you want when your picture has been taken....thats a nice feature with vignette, being able to import any picture and add the effects within the app. My settings for Vignette are in order from top to bottom:

No Effect

16:9

8.0mp

superfine

auto

flash off

normal

try that setup and see if its any quicker for ya man
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I think thats what he meant....is there even a Vintage camera app? lol

now im going to check the market,,,,thanks alot guys! :mad:

EDIT: No vintage camera app in my market lol....but when I searched it some FX Zoom app came up...anyone try that one?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Yeah that's the one I used before Vignette. Its just one with many effects (not as much as Vignette though) so I don't have it any more

I'm a photography noob, so what's the difference between normal and superfine?

My Vignette settings are the same as yours, except that I have it set to normal
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Well sir....while I may not be an expert photographer...but doesn't having "superfine" sound better than just plain ol' "normal" lol.

I honestly don't know...just that "superfine" sounds goooood.

try taking a pic with "normal" then take the same pic with "superfine" see if there is any difference.
[XPERIA X10 General] HQXU:
lol yeah I meant vignette :o, so are you having the same issue with the flash?
[XPERIA X10 General] HQXU:

[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Normal = Normal compression

Superfine = Fine details, less compression.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
It's all about post-processing.

The default camera apps, just take what's in camera capture memory buffer then dump as files, while vignette might do post-processing to the actual photo before dumping as files.

Same thing can be achieved by post processing the photo with Adobe Photoshop, in expense of more hassle.

When you take photo with digital camera, even with high end DSLR, the result is not really sharp. You can see a lot of softness in color edges. But when you apply sharpening filter like Smart Sharpen or Unsharp Mask, then the result will be outstanding. Most photographer always do post-processing of sharpening and color leveling to improve almost underexposed or overexposed picture to get more detail in digital era and even in pre-digital era in darkroom.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsharp_masking

I'm not against Vignette or defending X10 camera app, just sharing information about how can Vignette do better then default app.

Its nice to have post processing :)

Stock Camera

Vignette
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
With reference to the above pics, I think the stock one is better, but it's subjective to every one's taste... :D
[XPERIA X10 General] BrAzzUkA's:
All app Android camera that we know work in post image processing, they are works with app editors image as photoshop and others. The best way to working with the image is with camera sensor and only this case we can works with a camera settings, the same of camera semi professional features: shutter speed slow / fast, ISO, colors saturarion , contrast, sharpness, colors correction etc ... but for that you must enter the memory of each of the drivers for android mobile phone extract the original driver.

[XPERIA X10 General] hibiskus:
Surely you took full auto settings here, and thats why you have so much noise.

Check these out:

When you use night mode on stock camera, it is kinda noise friendly, and if you lower EV to -0.7, ISO goes down as well, so you'll get even less noise.

Great minus for vignette is because it doesn't have nightmode i think, and EV cannot be ajusted, and macro is poor. At the other hand it has mighty steady mode, which uses internal sensors for anti shake, it does not apply jpeg compression therefor not ruining edges of picture,and it is always fun to take picture with random effects. Oh yeah i forgot about Timelapse also :).

Conclusion, i think it is best to use both apps, depending of situation :)
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Thanks, I'll be sure to try that out (y)
[XPERIA X10 General] hramos20:
Vignette sucks for night shots because it doesn't have the night vision mode which I prefer on the Stock app. Vignette only has the flash light but the image really sucks without nigh vision. For daylight shots I use Vignette but for night shots I use the stock app.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
No, WP7 is a restrictive new OS and a complete anathema to WM's purpose, having less functionality than an iPhone.

Someone may port WP7 so that it can be run on the HD2, however connection to Xbox live/zune etc may not be possible depending on how MS impliment it.

So if you want all that, get a WP7, or if you want something with a bit more functionality, just buy some duplo bricks and make your own (you'll also have more colours with that option).

[Fascinate General] Dagouk:
I came from the HTC Eris, to the Fascinate, and I have been using Handcent on both phones for a while. On my Eris it worked fine, till I did a update, then auto text didn't work anymore, so I uninstalled and used the old one. I'm using the same old version on my Fascinate, but auto text doesn't work. It won't even bring up auto complete at all. It's rather annoying, and the stock messaging app doesn't do it either. I've tried to go into the settings but auto text won't even let me click it on. Does anybody have any idea why this happens, or if there is another app that I can use that auto text will work? I am sorry if someone has posted a reply, but I have did searching on the forums, using the search feature, and scrolling through threads, and I don't see any similar problems, not for the auto text, the phone works great other then that issue.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brn85:
I just used the option "Backup Current ROM" to create a backup. The phone rebooted itself and created the backup (a couple o files in a folder in internal SD).

So my question now is: what kind of backup this tool did? It didn't backup the internal SD? There aren't there some files and folders related with the applications i have installed? They are not necessary?

I have a lot of music and movies in the internal SD, and other stuff.

So, what happens if i just restore the backup i did? I will lost them?

I'm really not understanding this backup tool very well...

Will my sms's, phone contacts,apn's, etc be saved with this tool?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

[Captivate Accessories] markilou:
It's a shame there shouldn't be any difference with 3.0 headsets as with most 2.0 or 2.1 EDR devices I tested & used I've found that A2DP audio suffers from the variable pitch issue (playback speed slightly decreases or increases as the device processor may be busy with another process) which makes listening to music sometimes not nice. In most cases I use A2DP for radio podcasts while I return to wire headset for music playback.

I know I'm not alone in this case so as a non tech I was hoping BT 3.0 would maybe address that pitch issue but I haven't found any 3.0 headset yet to test that either...
[Captivate Accessories] fosselman:
I don't think you will ever see a bluetooth 3.0 headset. I think 3.0 is just for faster file transfer between devices. We will have to wait til 4.0 comes out for better headsets. Just what I got from reading wikipedia article on bluetooth.

[Captivate Accessories] julienrl:
bt3.0 will be amazing for headsets. It includes the ability to boost to full power instantly so you don't loose the connection when something interferes with the connection (like when you slip your phone in your pocket or when it is in the opposite side of your body from the antenna in the headset). However, I am not sure if this needs to be on both sides or if its sufficient to have it in the phone alone... I think it may have to be in both (kind of hope not).

I have 2 of 2.1 bluetooth, they've been working fine with my HTC-Inspire. When I upgraded my phone to HTC-Vivid which has Bluetooth 3.0, those 2 headsets with 2.1 no longer working as it was with Inspire ( cracking sounds, and volume is low). So purchased over ebay a $30 plantronics m20 which build in a Bluetooth 3.0 and it works flawlessly. It likes instantly connects to my HTC-vivid Bluetooth. A lot of times, I don't need to turn on the M20, if someone calls me, then I switch on and it's connected in a matter of a second and audio automatic switches to headset. FYI, m20 doesn't have A2DP
[Captivate Accessories] RDI:
M20 Is not stereo. I should have some samples coming in this week of some new Stereo Bluetooth v3.0 Headsets. They very lightweight and come in 5 different colors. (if I like them, do I stock all 5 colors?)

Nokia Essence

You may have a hard time looking for BT 3.0 stereo headsets because -unless I'm mistaken as fosselman pointed out in this thread- there were no audio enhancements from BT 2.1 to 3.0 specifications. Instead, what you could may look for and try is CSR's "apt-x" proprietary HD "lossless" audio codec used by Monster, HTC, Samsung, Nokia and even Apple in their iphone 4s or the new ipad, allowing for higher bitrate to match CD-like quality.

I've had the variable pitch issue even on good A2DP models in the past and I've tested many (Sony Ericsson's HBH series, Nokia BH series such as BH-214 or BH-903 and others such as itech). Appart from the pitch issue I also found that speech clarity on voice calls wasn't very good on GSM calls with the headset on, and even not-usable over VoIP.

I am now testing Nokia Essence (also called BH-610) which is still a bluetooth 2.1 model but comes with the apt-x and highbitpool SBC codec support. I'm using it with a Bluetooth 3.0 Nokia 700 on symbian Belle, and although I've had it for only a few hours I can already report I don't have the variable pitch issue with music and sound is better than the previous models I tested. The downside is that it's hard to get this model at the moment (not sure why since it was announced back in Summer 2011 already) and consequently pretty expensive as it also comes with noise reduction and NFC pairing.

Has anyone here tested Sennheiser's PX-210 or Jaybird's Sportsband/Freeband with compatible apt-x phones or music player bluetooth adapters ?

Will they keep running in the background since they were enabled prior to switching to LPP? Or once you choose between the two, the one picked is the one that is running?

It might sound stupid, but I've always wondered if you needed to disable some futures before switching "home" and if they would be running in the background killing the battery. Should I keep "active sync on?" etc....
