[XPERIA X10 General] hibiskus:
I totally agree with guys who voted for X10. I thought Nokia was leader with oversaturated colours but now I see Apple takes the lead :). Only better image that iphone made is last one, and that is because x10 shaked.

Blueish tint generally shows if light source shoots into lens, or image is overexposed, and x10 images are bit overexposed, so feel free to adjust EV
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
Exactly! Stick wit non stock
[XPERIA X10 General] Wolfbreak:
X10 is better, the Iphone 4 dont look natural and the Quality of X10 is better. But i never make Image Stabilizator on becouse without it the Pictures look better but when you click the Button it shakes so i make the most of the Photos with the Touchscreen.
[XPERIA X10 General] hibiskus:
stabilisation use only in low light situation, when trying to capture still object
[XPERIA X10 General] pco.vaz:
Most people share that opinion when they move from a point and shoot compact camera to a semi professional SLR. The iphone haves too much post processing to increase the saturation of warmer colors. If you do get into photography you know what is good and real color is much better then the over processed ones as you may or may not post process it in photoshop to suit your goal on each specific photo.

From my point of view the X10 wins hands down. That said, I won't be using mine that much as it stands miles away from the quality I get with my Canon and Sony DSLRs.
[XPERIA X10 General] rafaperez3d:
Are we really seeing the same image?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I reescaled the x10 image from 8Mp to 5Mp to give it some edge, but even doing that, X10 lacks sharpness. the gray area on the trailer, we dont have any detail on that.

The trees, it's not just noise on iphone image, we can see some small branches well defined.

The color on iphone is very warm/saturated, but a lot of people like this way. We can read here, almost nobody told that X10 image looks nicer, just more "natural". Looks natural doesn't mean looks good.

Anyway, the white balance on X10 is a little far, putting too much blue on the image.

Another problem with the X10 image is the exposure, too high, crushing a lot of details everywhere.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
not the camera, the camera application. The beauty of Android means you can change this.

Vignette is a far better app :)
[XPERIA X10 General] rafaperez3d:
Exactly! My points here are about the images above (default app/default settings) . I think that X10 camera is a great piece of hardware, but the software doesnt help.

Believe or not, I'm trying to write a simple camera app just because I believe that we have a underutilized camera hardware in this phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] mingleberry:
I'll be interested in hearing how you get on writing your app - I contacted the Vignette team to ask why there was no white balance control for the X10 version of Vignette whereas the stock camera app does have that control.

They replied that SE doesn't provide an API for white balance control - be interesting to see if you come across similar barriers.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Yeah, seems like SE have put the blue theme through everything on the x10... ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Honestly, I think the iPhone 4 will take great pics in some situations, and the x10 better in others - it's really difficult to say which is really the 'best'

Take this little example of the same photo taken at the same time (ok, I rotated the wrist band to take a photo from the other side), but it's essentially the same photo, and look at the difference... no change in settings at all.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi - K1sr - Which one's which??? and I'm assuming that the x10 one most closely matches the colours of the table and the wrist band?
[XPERIA X10 General] Wolfbreak:
This was not the Original Picture i saw and the Pics was maken with Image Stabilizator and was shaken my Pics dont look like that i compared my X10 with a Friend of me and my Pics was a litte bit better but the X10 is very sensitive. Id say the Iphone Camera is better overall becouse the X10 is not that good in Night but in good Conditions the X10 is very good.
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Ah, so that's why there's no white balance control. That is one of the primary reasons why I'm so torn between Vignette and the stock camera app. Vignette is awesome but the WB control and sometimes the focus doesn't always work correctly. Although that could just be my X10.

Hoping that the API is released to correct that!
[XPERIA X10 General] rafaperez3d:
Probably you didn't saw the image at 100%. In my xperia, I can replicate the exact same problem, its very easy when you take any photo with lot of details, like foliage and trees.

Using Vignette I better image, more sharp, but we get strange artifacts. I will upload a example soon. Camera 360 looks a little better, but I don't like sharpening applied after the capture, by the software, because it's too much and make strong black lines around some objects.

I know, I'm a little "freak"about those things. But I think the xperia it is a good camera, we can get enough color/detail in a lot of situations.

Yesterday I was playing with my camera, and was trying to create exaggerated sharp and saturated colors!

[XPERIA X10 General] CuBz90:
Was this really taken on the X10 :eek: My X10 has never taken a photo that bad, in any lighting...Shocking
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
You know, you should take the same pictures with a DSLR on one of the manual modes.

Thing is, i can't judge the two set of pictures without knowing how the "real" thing looks :)

Anyway, but looking at your two sets, X10 looks more real.

I'm pretty sure the sky is blue and the road is not brown :)

EDIT:

1. don't use image stabilization. use touch to capture.

2. check what modes you used. for the landscape use average. for the two close up images use center or spot.

3. on the X10 change the EV to -3 and make sure the sun is in the back.

4. take a breath before taking the image :P
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
It doesn't give nicer pictures.

The stabilization is not hardware. Is software and basically is using software algorithms to archive the result.

By doing this is altering the sharpness and the image will be soft. Way too soft.

Instead of using the image stabilization and the camera button to take an image, disable stabilization, use the touch mode and take a breath before touching the screen :)
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Lol, you are doing post-processing on photos taken with a smartphone camera? :eek:

Damn, you have too much time to waste my man :)

Smartphone camera is used to take a few good shots and upload them on facebook, flickr, etc. for your friends to see where you are/what you are doing.

Not to create portfolio or ... art :)
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Sorry, both are from my x10, taken within 30 seconds of each other - no changes to settings, no nothing, but look at the difference...

Oh, and both with the stock camera app.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
I take it you used 360 for that photo...?

I was just thinking - wow that's pretty vibrant for the stock app...
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
Is most likely because of the metering you used.

If you use average metering, when you change your position, the light changes and this tricks the software.

Try to do the same test using spot or even center metering.

Of course if the change in light is too big ... nothing will help :)

Anyway, you will get better results... for something close using spot metering.

This is what i like about the SE camera.

It gives you the liberty to choose the settings and get better results while other camera software will just use some predefined settings which won't always work.

I only wish i had an option to choose the compression/quality in the SE app.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
I think it's important to appreciate that the iPhone might have settings tweaked toward bright outdoors shots, and the x10 standard app toward darker shots - I have taken some really amazing looking shots with relatively poor lighting, but some really washed out shots outdoors.

Also, if you're going to use the indoor setting for outdoor shots, they will be awful like the ones we're talking about...

Nonetheless, get a good replacement camera app, and you'll get some great photos - the biggest issue with the x10 app is that it applies too much jpeg compression, resulting in awful photos...

I've got both Vignette and 360. Vignette is awesome for post processing, and 360 is great for professional shots (really good tilt-shift)... but if you're just going to get one, get Vignette.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Well i have both vignette and 360 and i will also make comparison with them. This was just the stock to stock test. I know for sure that both apps take way better pics than the stock. I will make the tests with the other two apps very soon :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Updated with more pics from Camera 360. Check first post and let me know what you think :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I've been playing with camera360 lately and I gotta say it gives really nice photos as well....some are better than vignette. So when it comes down to best picture quality (not features the app has) just picture quality what do you guys think camera 360 vs vignette? Its a tough call for me...I'm gonna have to do more pictures myself.
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Hi, I just tried camera 360 and there is a few functions which I tried to press on it, it says my phone is not supported, functions like the night mode and flash mode.
[XPERIA X10 General] Minoza:
+1

What I absolutely love about Vignette is the fact that it "tries" to use LED as a flash and for some reason my night shots look much better than with the stock app.
[XPERIA X10 General] kmaximax:
Just a note here if you have too many camera applications on your X10 it will take longer to take a picture as it pre loads all the other camera applications when you click the button to take a picture same with media players and using the headset button more players you have the longer the response time from the one you want to use to activate/operate :)
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Yes, I find the camera 360 photo quality is not bad but it does not support our led as flash so have to use vignette for shots which require light.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
So I ran another test with X10 stock camera vs Vignette...But I used some different settings for the X10 stock: Image stabalization "OFF" and "SPOT" metering. X10 was set at 8mp 4:3 and Vignetter was set at 8mp no frame, no effect, and superfine....To my eyes the X10 stock camera shoots better than Vignette with those settings on stock. Before I did my tests with image stabalization "ON" and "AVERAGE" metering on stock...which resulted in blurry pics.

I have attached one of many tests I tried...which pic is better to you guys?
[XPERIA X10 General] awojtas:
camera app

I did some tests myself a couple of months ago and found that the setting in X10 camera app alter noise reduction, sharpening etc.

We should figure these out. I found bizarrely, "Snow" and "Portrait" gave really good results, with Portrait quite dependable.

e.g.

- Portrait - less noise reduction than standard, warmer colours, automatically +0.3 exposure

- Landscape - no auto focus, over-sharpened, green+blue boost

- Any night-modes - heaps of noise reduction (so very soft)

- Snow - standard noise reduction, automatically +0.3 exposure

Some of the settings you can see are altered by looking in the EXIF info.

I think the two killers of our image quality are:

- Noise reduction

- Lens.

The noise reduction is way over the top, and makes the image too soft.

The lens we can't change and I think it's pretty average glass/plastic :(

So finding the best setting for low noise reduction = best image quality.

That's why "Image stabilisation" is bad.

It does:

- Higher ISO (for a faster shutter speed)

- More noise reduction

= soft image
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
Well i had a n95 8gb with Carl Zeis Optics and i dont think it took better pics than the x10
[XPERIA X10 General] Nankov:
With Camera 360
[XPERIA X10 General] rafaperez3d:
Noo! I was trying to focus our analysis about the sharpness and overall quality, because color is a subjective topic. We heard people here that prefer the iphone color, a few others choose the X10 colours. =]

Anyway, you don't need to lose much time post processing! This one here (sorry, I wasn't able to find out the high res) I took with Camera 360 and put some saturation on Photoshop Express, directly on Android, and send by email! Everything took 1 or 2 minutes, very easy!

I just like to explore the possibilities that this gadget give to us!

That's a typical message you get if an app you installed is on SD card. Look in the app settings on the tab "on SD card" and see if you can move apps on the SD to internal. Otherwise: just deinstall. When the TAB "on SD card" is empty again, try OCLF again.

I'm setting up Google Voice and saw that there is a fixed dial number (FDN) setting.

My questions are :

1) Will this option make it so GV's access number is the same on every call?

2) it asks for a PIN2 number. I tried 1234 and 0000 and neither worked. Tmo is stumped. I did not set a number. Does anyone know another possible default code?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] obfu:
FDN restricts outgoing calls to only the numbers on a pre determined list. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_Dialing_Number for more information.

This will not affect google voice, since when you make a google voice call it is an incoming, not an outgoing call from your phone. If I remember correctly, there is a setting on the google voice page to control how your calls appear on caller id (random number or GV number)

If you want to use FDN, the default PIN2 is 5678, keep in mind that t-mobile does not support the use of this feature, so if you lock yourself out they may not be able to help you.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] asarousi:
Thanks for the reply. Is there anyway to have GV use a fixed access number. I use the myfaves paln to get free unlimited incoming/outoging calls. But when gv changes acess numbers and I don't catch it fast enough, I get charged.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] obfu:
As far as I am aware (from my knowledge of using google voice and from searching) there is not a way to prevent the access numbers from changing.

If you want to use one number for all your calls, you can start by calling your own GV number and selecting option 2 (place a call) from the main menu.

Experiencing random shutdowns ever since moving to Congnition. This morning, just to clean everything out, I did an Odin Master Clear and used Odin to flash Cognition 2.2b6. About an hour later, I had my first random shutdown.

This doesn't appear to be totally random. It only occurs when the phone is in screenlock mode, such as when it's in my pocket or sitting unused on my desk. I will go grab the phone to turn on the screen, and realize that it is shut off. So, I have to long hold it to boot it back up again.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Cognition? It seems to occur about once an hour for me, and sometimes it will go hours without shutting down. Also, it never appears to shutdown when I'm using it, but maybe that's just by chance.

Any other ideas how I could fix this? I've already Master Cleared. Could it be an app that doesn't play well? The only apps I've installed so far is Launcher Pro, Beautiful Widget and Titanium Backup, of course.
