Mine also has a samsung S5K3H1GX 8M, and I can assure you it can't be better than yours :P
[Desire HD General] jokies:
I like taking photos, but I never expected a phone to do too much.
[Desire HD General] Protongti:
I have no qualms about the camera, for me it is 3 times better than my old Touch HD

how to check ? mind have guides please ?
[Desire HD General] Blezz:

Samsung S5K3H1G Datasheet: Support Full HD, HD by cropping and binning

theo. supporting 1080p too
[Desire HD General] winwintoto1234:
Like what I used to tell my friends who are complaining about the photo or video quality of their mobile phone.

We are talking about "a mobile phone that can take photo" AND NOT "a digital camera or camcorder that can make phone call"...:D
[Desire HD General] l0w:
Well remember that the June software update for the non-hd desire gifted 720p capability on that phone.
[Desire HD General] sengork:
Mine's samsung S5K3H1GX 8M, I hope it doesn't carry any bad omens like the bundled samsung SD cards. :P
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Mine is also Omnivision. There are three major parts in determining the maximum performance of the camera - the sensor that takes the picture, the hardware that encodes it and the software that drives the hardware. If I'm not mistaken the current camera performance is the limit for the hardware (please correct me if I'm wrong) so no software update can give us more. Obviously Desire's original software wasn't making the most of the hardware, so an upgrade could bring new features to the camera.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
If it was a hardware limitation,then overclocking the cpu would help.But either overclocked or not,the video recording is the same.Maybe its a driver issue.Maybe it's not.We can wait until someone with enough knowledge looks into this.

Btw,I'M NOT SAYING IT'S POSSIBLE TO RECORD 1080p!Just that we can,most probably,improve the current state of our phones' photo taking and video recording capabilities. :)
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
It's not just the clock speed. Here is what Qualcomm states about the processor:

Desire's processor also states 720p recording, so that's why a software update was possible to deliver it. The third generation Qualcomm's processors (dual core) support 1080p encoding, but that seems out of reach for ours.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Yeah,Qualcomm also says that our second-gen Snapdragon can reach clock speeds up to 1GHz.What is proved again and again is that official specs are always below the hardware's limits.Don't trust the spec sheet pal! ;-)
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
+1 qualcomm have to state the max specs of a cpu as lower than they actually are because not all cpu's are the same, even if they are the same model, this way qualcomm arnt breaking any laws by misrepresenting there product :)
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
With processors the frequency in the specs is always the nominal one (the frequency at which the manufacturer guarantees stability and safety). You can overclock but that's completely on your risk (no manufacturer will honor your guarantee if the see an overclocked kernel and that's why no rooted phone has guarantee). The features in the specs are a different matter. You will never get hardware acceleration of an unsupported codec for example. You can have software to play it, but software encoding of 25fps/1080p on a single core chip takes much more resourses than our processor can deliver on any possible frequency.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
yes but 1GHz for a 45nm chip against the 1st gen which was 65nm same speed makes no sense

im wait to hear of one person complaining of a reboot when OCing his DHD to 1.2GHz in fact im pretty sure most can run comfy at 1.5GHz

only issue here is the battery
[Desire HD General] a33a:
I'm more exited about 120 fps
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Dude,wtf?The only reason you would need 120fps for,if it is a real reason,would be if you want to see some serious slow motion videos,to preserve smooth movement when playing at lower speeds(that's the way high speed cameras work).But something like 50 or 60 fps would be nice,not by itself,but for the fact that it would definitely not go below 25-30 fps,thus preserving smooth videos even in low light.

As for the other discussion;I think trying for 1080p is a waste of time.The result won't be enough even for fun.However,higher framerate 720p videos,or even better,a way to preserve 30fps in whatever lighting conditions,or at least increasing shutter speed for stills(IF that is possible,I have no idea). :)
[Desire HD General] a33a:
aha...

but that is what I want it for...

I bought a LG Viewty just for Slow motion video.

Pity it only worked for 1 day :( (I broke the Camera button)
[Desire HD General] l0w:
All very well, but I'd settle for getting any frame rate better than the 8 - 12 fps I'm getting at 720p right now.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Yeah that is my only problem, the lowlight recording fps.
[Desire HD General] giraffe777:
My camera is S5K3H1GX 8M. And my videos are bad. How can I change them to better ? Is there any software camcorder beside one included ?

How can you see what fps you get from camera ?

Does anybody know if there is possible to get to hardware control (to control camera) ? With NDK maybe ?

Regards, Ales
[Desire HD General] gamesmachine:
1080p would be realy cool, I'm sure there is a limitation with the scorpion chipset that prevents it from recording at 1080p, the sensor may be able to but whats the point if the chipset cant, and im sure its nothing to do with speed just the capability. The latest from nVidia can, but I will wait and see, be really cool!!

Oh and slow motion is just awesome, everything is cool in slow-mo ;)
[Desire HD General] giraffe777:
How do you see what fps you are getting ?

Regards, Ales
[Desire HD General] Stoffl_:
Not an issue.

If you don't want the 1.72/1.75 because of possible other bugs wait until someone else includes the camera fix from HTC into their ROMs, or until HTC releases a bugfixed OTA.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
umm that picture is obviously a comparison of lowlight recording on 1.32 with very good light recording on 1.72. Im running 1.72 right now and can tell you the fps in average-low light is terrible.
[Desire HD General] Rosjer:
This^^ as the human eye can not see more than 30fps, 50-60 fps for low light flow would be enough for us to not see any lag, going above 60fps is really just because you can and serves no other purpose than for slow motion.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
i agree with you largely, however i think the human eye can see more than 30 fps. I used to play games on my pc and the difference between a game at 30 fps and 60 fps is like night and day. Im sure that applies here as well.
[Desire HD General] sengork:
That's probably because game' FPS is out of sync with the monitor's refresh rate.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
So I am right! :D

Well,I thinh the eye can see more that 30,but in a video that wouldn't make much difference.With games it's a little different.Frames are rendered at that time,they don't preexist.So framerate drops are very frequent(you can simulate this at a certain point with Ubuntu.With compiz effects enabled(some serious effects though!),if you enable compiz benchmark you will probably see some 300FPS when doing nothing,which will drop down to 100 more or less when some effect is enabled.That's with games.Heavily detailed or action scenes(like explosions or extreme close-ups) demand many resources and framerates drop dramatically.That's why in a game it makes a difference;it doesn't drop below a certain "breaking" point. :)

That has something to do with it but depends on the screen type.You can see that when comparing large TVs.A 46" Plasma with 600Hz side by side with a 46" LED have some remarkable differences,even in movies.
[Desire HD General] l0w:
Interesting info but im on 1.72 (um what is 1.75 have i missed something?) and getting low frame rates in typical filming situations.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesny:
So this isn't Dinc specific but as at least half of the problem occurs on a dinc I thought I might as well post it here.

I just recently had a problem with one of my associates where we are unable to send/receive text messages from one another. I have turned on received reports in the default messaging app and all my texts say received by the recipient.

Both of us can receive and send texts to other people and calling between us still works. I have wiped my phone, and gone with a stock Virtuous 3.2 rom and it still doesn't work. They are on a blackberry, also on Verizon if that helps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IISiDeK1CKII:
I think this has something to do with your associates phone. My girlfriend's phone does the same thing, she won't receive messages or sometimes even calls. She has the new blackberry curve on VZW. We tried *228'ing it and that didn't help so we took it to the store, it was swapped and now it works like a charm.

It's not your phone, especially if you wiped it clean. Trust me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] misa.fisa:
Hello

I would like to use Android on my HD2. I was searching and testing many ROMS but I didn´t find any rom which is usable for me. I would like to have a ROM that is without Sense, has Multilanguage support and is on Android 2.2 version.

So I decided that I would make my own.

0) I was reading

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10291851&postcount=1

and made this procedure.

1)downloaded some ROM from here

2)unpacked this rom in linux with :

unyaffs system.img

then I got this directories:

app bin build.prop etc fonts framework lib media usr xbin

3)I downloaded update-cm-6.1.1-N1-signed.zip from CyanogenMod Forum > Downloads > Stable Mod > Nexus One and unpacked. I got : META-INF system boot.img.

4)I copied everything what was described step 0 from directories from step 2 to directory system from step 3

5)I downloaded and copied build.prop from step 0 to system

6) I updated permition like it is described in step 0

7) I created system.img with command : mkyaffs2image . ../system.img :D

Then I copied this system.img from linux to my windows and put this file in directory in which was different NAND rom. (replaced system.img). After that I flashed my phone and it did not work. Screen was frozen after booting and only green HTC was on display.:mad:

Can somebody please help me and give me some advice or some small howto. Does anybody know what can be wrong?:confused:

UPDATE: If I unpacking any nand roms and packing back everything is ok :( They must by any problem in me procedure of creating.

Thank you

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rittzy:
Is there a file on the device that lets you edit the screen brightness in according to how much lux or light the sensor is picking up? Because when in the dark the values are still far too high.

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
I was thinking exactly the same thing today... was wondering if there's an app for it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
No app for it unfortunately. There is an apk file you have to compile and edit. I'm fairly certain its the framework.res.apk but not totaly sure. Leedroid has modified the levels to a lower brightness in his rom and there was some discussion about how to do it in his thread but I don't recall the details offhand.

Sent from my performance enhanced Desire HD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjt:
I've just installed Tasker... added a couple of profiles: one to set brightness to Auto if ambient light is 75 to 100, another to set brightness to low and Auto off if ambient light is 0 to 74. Works excellent so far...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengork:
I enable Screen Filter app whilst using the phone in dark. Much easier on eyes compared to stock settings.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meptik:
No, don't think you're doing anything wrong. Android builds shouldn't be freezing at all, as far as I know. I've tried many builds, and have never had one freeze on me. The current ones are arguably more stable than most Windows Mobile ROMs! Still, Windows Mobile shouldn't actually require pulling the battery that often either.

Based on what you mention it sounds like your phone might be overheating, which would probably be a hardware problem (at least really unlikely to be caused purely by user operation or software). It might be worth checking the battery pins, to make sure all of them make a firm connection to the battery. If not, it could be one is disconnecting as your phone gets warmer. Still, overheating itself is a more likely cause, especially because of what you mention about vibrating x times if you restart it without giving it time to cool down.

I'm no expert, but it might be time to send your phone in for repairs... :( (if you do, don't forget to remove HSPL & restore stock ROM)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john.sullivan29@gmail.com:
thanks for that help. I think i will send it back, i had already checked the battery pins.

just got rid of HSPL, but now having trouble flashing back to original rom. it jsut gets stuck on the update screen at 0%.... any ideas? i tried via SD card too, and it just gave me the "loading" page....

THnaks!
[Android Software Development] vistalover1:
Hi I'm new to the XDA forums. I have a Zune HD and I wonder if any of you wonderful genius developers would like to hack into the encrypted Zune HD and try to port Android to it. It would be great. Us as zuneboards are trying to figure out how to get it to work but apparently they say it's impossible and it's not going to happen. So if anyone needs any details just pm me, if you can do that here.
[Android Software Development] JQwerty91:
Doesn't Zune and Android use different systems? Really impossible to port, however replicating it to look and exactly like the Zune HD buy building an app/launcher is possible
[Android Software Development] vistalover1:
Yes but didn't you guys get Android working on HTC HD2 and that's a WinMo phone that runs Win CE 5. The Zune HD uses it's own system but it's already running Windows CE 6 which Windows Phone 7 is running. We already got to the WinCE part of the Zune and we can run Firefox and Skyfire and stuff like that. The people at zuneboards also created a file deployer app so that you can deploy the files from your computer to WinCE side of the Zune. So I am thinking if there is a way to get Android running through WinCE through Haret or whatever program there is.Also, is it possible for the WIndows Phone 7 Marketplace to be ported over to the Zune. Zune HD specs are:

600 MHz NVIDIA Tegra

128 MB of LPDDR RAM

16/32/64 GB of NAND Storage

3-axis accelerometer

3.3inch 480x272 OLED 16:9 screen w 720p output

Capacitive touchscreen

Atheros WiFi(I think it's the 6002 model)

No bluetooth

[G Tablet General] TomorrowSpace:
Hey guys I screwed up. I installed rom manager and flashed the latest recovery before I realized I needed the .08 version. Google was ineffective for me when searching for a solution. How do I revert?
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Download CWM (ClockWorkMod) v8 to your PC. Extract it to get the "Recovery" and "Update.zip" files.

Use a test editor to edit the file named "Command" under Recovery, changing sdcard to sdcard2.

Then put both files in the root of a microSD card.

Put the microSD into the external slot. Then hold down and Vol+ button while turning on the power. You will get a "Recovery" boot message on the left corner of the white background.

It will install CWM, hopefully, and then you can reboot with the power/Vol+ combo to bring up CWM.

If you can get CWM installed then you can hook the tablet to your PC via the USB cable. If it links up and gives you a drive letter for the tablet, you can create a folder named downloads and if it does that you can put the update.zip for your version in it.

From there you disconnect, boot into CWM, find the zip in download on your sdcard, and hopefully install it.

I know I've covered a lot too fast. If you have questions as them. If anyone sees and error or a better way -- jump right in.

Hope this helps.

[G Tablet General] TomorrowSpace:
I've got that far, but it still appears nothing is getting installed. I get to the black screen and the install down arrow pops up then quickly goes away. Should I uninstall Rom Manager?

The command file already had sdcard2 on it.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Boot your tablet using power/vol+. If it doesn't enter clockwork recovery then clockwork is not installed.

You can try this:

In rom manager scroll down to the bottom and look for "Flash Alternate Recovery". It should read "ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8" Click it and it will flash that recovery. I wouldn't recommend using rom manager to flash roms.
[G Tablet General] TomorrowSpace:
You guys rock! Thank you. got it!
[G Tablet General] TomorrowSpace:
Why can't CWM see the ROMS I have on the SD Card? I don't have to edit the perms do I?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
cwm cant see the external sdcard. Make sure any roms you downloaded are not .rar files and they are on the internal sdcard.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Spenner:
When Im using Google maps and the internet (latest version of Opera) my TD2 is dreadfully slow. Are there any tweaks to speed things up.

Im a bit peeved at the performance of my HTC because someone at work was using an iPhone and using a mapping app that zoomed in and out so fast i could barely believe it, and was connected via 3G, as does mine.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
you're using a touch diamond2 ...now if you had an android phone, or something like the HD2 in your hand, you'd be much happier. It's not just your internet speed that matters, but your phone's too.

As it stands, some ROM's to seem to "handle" the internet (and therefore google maps) slightly better.

I personally recomend Energy or Dutty for first time ROMs...you can/will always end up cooking your own to suit your needs :)

[Samsung Mesmerize] detroyt:
ive downloaded some ringtones/notifications and they automatically show up in the respective fields when going to select them as such, but for the life of me i cannot find them anywhere on the phones internal and external memory (i want to delete the ones i dont like). i have a folder setup on my sd card for such items. i know on my desire everything i downloaded showed up in a download folder on my sd card but with the mesmerize only pictures that i download show up there. i've tried locating them with root explorer and file manager but not having any luck. any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
If you downloaded them from your phone onto your phone, they'll be in your download folder on your sdcard. If it was from an app, that app might have made a folder on your sd card, titanium backup made one on mine.

I know that's where they should go but if I download from myxer.com it automatically goes into the ringtones/notifications under settings and yesterday when I unzip a file that contained sounds it did the same thing.

is the location of the default sounds

You could also try running a search like *.mp3 or *.ogg

what could i do against it?
