BlueAngel Camera and VideoCam Quality - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

hiya, i'm really thinking of getting a BlueAngel (SPV M2000 (orange obviously)) and well it has all the things that are great and hence there being a whole site devoted to it...
My only doubts are Video quality. Would it be possible for someone (or more) to record a short video of anything, and try it on various settings (320x240, no sound, overclocking etc...) and post it on here please
Also, what is your opinion on the camera? do you think it lacks or do you think its good for the device?
ok thanks alot you guys if you cannot upload for whatever reason, send it vie email to [email protected] (add me if you wish, the more people, the merrier! )

The camera might as well not be there it is so bad. Maybe look at the Tytn (SPV M3100) it is a great phone and the camera is very good.

I can send you some photos and some videos of my cat I have taken on it if you want.

yeh that would be great haha thanks i'll pm you too and ask

Camera in BA is poor, but its ONLY for MMS, so Ppcnut, dont treat it so badly.
Curiously, before take picture, preview quality is good, (in BA) but after shoot the photo, quality decrease as though ISO goes VeryHigh to create undesirable effects.
To result from that, video recording is very good, only 15fps, but quality is good.
So maybe cam drivers can resolve that problem?

Artemis VGA Video Recording (With similar Quality to Nokia N95)

hello
I was wondering whether there is an app out there that enables you to record video in 640*480 resolution, where the quality of the video is similar to the N95.
If processing power is a problem, i can overclock to 260Mhz (and higher if necessary).
All comments are welcome.
Thanks in advance, Uzzy
i'm pretty sure it's a hardware limitation and not a software one.
CoolCamera in theory is supposed to give VGA recording, but whether it's the same quality as the N95 is another question.

I've played about with this in the past, but it always seems a little slow, but it has so many settings that it could be something that just need tinkering with.
Good luck
other programs
are there any other programs for web cam and working good?

Better Recoding Video Quality with XPERIA CAMERA

Hi brothers, now I wrtie to ask if somebody knows where is the register entry for the xperia camera, I think i found it but it won't show all the entries that the HTC cameras show. The HTC cameras registry entries has all detailed on different folders like JPEG settings, medium quality video, high qualitity video, and stuff like that.
Well, I think that I have the solution for the bad quality video of the xperia when you shake o move your phone, I think you know that I mean. You see always pixelation, and that have various reasons. One is that the video format is very bad quality for, it's only 3GP and we don't have a choice like other HTC Cameras when you have MP4, CIF and other formats. Other reason is the video's bitrate and THIS is our solution.
If we can turn up the bitrate of course we'll have better quality in the videos and we can see especialy an improment in scenarios like sports when we have to move the phone very much. Of course, that bitrate increment become the video more heavy but that's something we have to deal with because the quality worth it.
Other solution is find a way to change the video format to H264 or MP4 and combine the bitrate idea with this video format too.
I have been making some experiments but no luck yet. Any ideas?
Nobody?
I'm sure that somebody can post one good idea. Come on people, you guys make the best HTC's roms and more, I don't think you have no idea about solving this. Somebody?
I think its Sony+HTC problem, not something that belongs to here ...
just like u can't have smile shutter, same ways, u can't change recording format ... may be some time in future, Sony might add support for h264 recording in firmwares, just like they added auto flash and geotag in leaked R3AA/R4AA rom.
Thanks for the reply
Thnaks for the answer! You are totally right in every point BUT I think that waiting is not an option for me because I bought the Xperia almost replacing my HTC TyTN + Sony Camera. I like to record almost all the concerts I go and the Xperia is the right option if we can make some camera improvements. I think if someone give me the xperia camera source code I can do everything by myself, or at least that is that I have in mind
Even, I think we can make a few changes for the camera to allow to zoom when recording video (if somebody haven't done it yet..).
In other hand, where can I find the R4AA rom? I didn't know that was already out. Again, thanks for the reply!

there is no r4aa. he was refering to unknown sourced leaked camera app with geotagging and auto flash, which supposed to be present in r3aa, but never was actually.
zoom facility in the video recording of the xperia is a very welcome step...hope somebody smart enough in the xda forum look forward to it...
I think it could be done, because the camera app uses a system file to access the camera, then it uses a video or picture encoder to produce a picture or a video. If somebody change the encoder and set the new parameters or settings into the camera app i think that it will work.
Exactly
And I'm your men, I wanna do that, but I have to view the source code or something. Where can I find it? Anyone on this forum can give me a hand to start working? Thanks!
I think that the better way is create a new camera app and add lots of features and then sell the app to a company like spb.

Htc Diamond 2 Topaz How improve foto and video

Hi, does exist any program for improving better kvality foto and video? I think kvality, sharpness etc. Thanks too much
I would think increasing the default sharpness by 1 or 2 notch should improve the quality of the photos. Else, I would use Picasa 3 to do post editing. Auto Colour and Sharpness applied, the pictures will look really good IMO.
And better fluent video, for example edit in register etc? Or any program for it... Thanks
Look at THIS! It seems the Topaz has it's on section!

TP2 and Video Recording....

Hi,
Now I know the TP2 is not a digicam ... But can anyone share any tips on how to get the best out of the TP2 for video recording.
Some thoughts I have include:
1) Fast SD card
2) 3rd party video software???
3) Improving fps from 12.5. I guess reducing resolution..??
However I appreciate the TP2 is a phone .... but with some jolly useful extras.
Thanks,
Sam
i havent try but maybe apps like coolcamera?
Hi guys
A quick one. When recording with the touch pro 2 is there a black border to the right side of the picture you are recording? that means the picture you are recording doesnt fill the screen. I just noticed this tonite and i dont think this has always been the case
since I posted my question over 30 people have read it but have just moved along without helping. This isnt a difficult question and all someone has to do is pick up their phone, launch the camera and click on video recording to see if the black border exists. This should not even take you a minute but people just read and move on. If I start a new thread asking my specific question, you,ll get some id1ots talking rubbish about using the search function. well I have and it doesnt return any results for my query. So is there any sensible person out there willing to check this out for me?

Hi Lombardo8,
Yes, there is black strip on the right side of the screen but ONLY when you save video. When you play this video it is over full screen.
Sorry for my "English".
Regards,
Nino
Thank you very much Nino. Have a nice day
12.5 fps? Probably for videos meant as video messages (eg vzw flix mms). But with Mp4 I had 15-20 fps even in 640x480. Best advice. use MP4 video. Stay away from H.264 because that is CPU heavy and results in blocky looking video. Black border on the right side? It only means you are not recording in widescreen mode and does not show up in playback. Select the widescreen option in advanced options and border is gone. Not sure if this will work on video, but it does on pics.
I'm not all too thrilled with CoolCamera. First, it's buggy as hell. Second, it's not free. And third, it doesn't work on all devices. I tried it on my Q9M about a year ago. Hasn't been updated since then. Since the Q9m has a crappy camera, I wanted more options. Unfortunately this program didn't help, as the options didn't work on that phone. The camera on my TP2, different story. Very advanced compared to the Q's crappy setup. Don't even want to try CoolCamera on this thinking it might be worse off than factory HtcCamera. There have to be better options then that program (CoolCam). The developer of that app has focused on his webcam app instead.
How did you get your camera to record at 640x480 my Tilt2 doesnt seem to have that option

Question Bad quality when taking a photo in instagram

Hi! i dont know if is my phone that is broken or me, i dont know. When you open the instagram camera, the quality is ok, but when you do a photo, it loses a lot of quality, like if it wad blurry. Can someone help me?
The real reason Snapchat photos taken on Android phones look terrible
Android phones often have similar or better cameras than iPhones. But on Snapchat, it’s not even close. Here's why.

It says snapchat but it's actually true for instagram and whatsapp as well

try update Instagram to latest version
I don't know exactly why that happens.. maybe it's a compatibility issue.
But the solution to that is: you have to take the pictures with your standard camera app, then upload it to Instagram. This way you will preserve your picture quality. ♥

idk if its new to you but taking pictures from third party apps (whatsapp, office, facebook etc...) always end up crappier than the camera app
Its actually because these apps compress image thats why, No worry.
