can G2 camera be as good as vibrant? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can G2 camera be as good as vibrant? is it possible?? can any programmer tackle this?

How about elaborating? You might as well have asked if monday can be as cool as tuesday.

He's probably refering to how the vibrant has superior picture and recording quality. Not sure how much you could improve g2 camera it would be like trying to force g2 speaker to be as loud as the vibrant's

whatta bout Cyber Monday...

honestly though guys, can we make the camera a little better?? i see the nexus one guys came up with the 720p 30fps for their phone, why cant we??
or the fact that our phone takes way too long to decode colors/contrast

Is your recording at such a quality that it's absolutely poor to watch? Are there too frequent frame skips? I'm not sure what FPS the video on the G2 is shooting at, but I think it's smooth enough. If it was 24 or 30, it doesn't matter. We get 720p on our recordings and there's no frame skip. Honestly, 24 vs 30, there's no difference. Either you have super-human eyes or your device is defective.

[Q] Poor "HD Quality" Video Recording

I gave up searching since I am apparently not "Human" enough to enter the Captca words correctly. (Whoever came up with that crap must be related to the guy who invented plastic theft proof packaging).
I shot a 3 minute video the other day, indoors but in daylight, with the settings at 720P and Mpeg4, using my rooted stock ROM EVO. The video is grainy, obviously not 30fps (more like 15fps), and as I pan, the image gets VERY blurry.
This is not HD video, I don't care what they say. I don't think it's the fault of my memory chip because the video looks like this during recording, not just during playback. It's obviously the fault of the camera chip.
I realize this is supposed to be a phone first, but smart phones are becoming indispensable computers/cameras/communication devices, and last I checked communication included video.
I will say this, my next smart phone must have true HD recording capabilities! Sprint lets me upgrade every year so they have another 7 months to get this right.
Is this a known issue with the EVO?
From what I hear it is due to the way the file has to be compressed that causes the poor quality.

Yeah. Not sure if there are different codecs that you can use. I think I read somewhere that Gingerbread will include a new codec by Google that is optimized for Android devices but not sure. Look around in Android Development or do a Google search
I'd love to see what the iPhone 4 can do, though I'd never buy one. Tomorrow I'll check out my mom's Epic and brothers MyTouch 4G.
For now: Fail!!!

Do a search, there's a huge thread on HQ HD recording. It's mainly due to over compression.
I believe I started out by saying I gave up trying to searching due to my "captca" issues. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.
Compression problems typically show up as micro boxes, the picture breaks up into very tiny boxes. While the phone does have this issue, that's not what I was talking about.
When panning the camera, the picture gets blurry and smears, until the camera comes to a stop again.
I tried out my brothers MyTouch 4G today. HTC seems to have improved the video recording capabilities. Much less smear when panning. The video (at 720P) is much sharper as well.

HTC & Apple both source from the same mfg'er for their cameras...FYI.
That may be. I have not seen any "HD" video recorded from an iPhone 4 yet. I would find it hard to believe that Steve would accept the artifacts I'm seeing in my EVO's "HD" recordings, but who knows.
And the iPhone 4 uses a 5 MP camera, as opposed to the EVO's 8 MP chip.
In fact, just because they buy from the same source does not mean they're buying the same components. For all I know, the MyTouch 4G uses the same chip as well, yet it exhibits much less smearing.
Galaxy S Line HD Recording pretty good. Bout the same as iphone 4. both have 5 mp cameras too.
Yeah. I tested my moms Samsung Epic today and it's "HD" video was passable. Practically no image lag. I hope HTC makes an EVO 2!

[Q] Why is the video so much worse than the iphone 4?

so tonight i played around with my SGS2 and an iphone 4. the picture quality seems to be comparable, on the screen at least, but once switched onto video mode-the iphone 4 wins hands down. the iphone's quality is so much more clean and crisp, where as my sgs2's color is really faded and blurry looking. i had another sgs2 for a few days, and that one was worst in video. the youtube videos i've seen are really nice quality, but mine is nothing like this. any thoughts anybody? TIA.
Are you sure? This was shot with T-Mobile SGS2 and it looks awesome

What class SD card do you use? Also, I have recorded a couple of videos myself and look look pretty awesome as well...
Lol. Your phone is either crappy or you can't use the settings. The video on the SGS2 is amazing. In many reviews, it was rated to be better than the iphone 4 and on par with the 4s.

i didn't really change any of the original settings, i even press the reset tab under settings-thought it would help, but no. any suggestions on the settings?
my current sgs2 is my 2nd one already, cuz the previous one has focusing issues during video.
Low light gives the sgs2 trouble. You must adjust the white balance and not use auto. For instance I recorded some flames at a Vegas show w with daylight and it turned out much better than washed out white that it would've been.

would you recommend this phone?

Tomorrow T-Mobile is having a sale and I have been thinking about dropping Sprint due to the price and poor service for a while. This seems to be the perfect opportunity. I have narrowed it down to either the S2 or Amaze I am having a hard time deciding. I have been reading some negative things about the S2 having screen color issues and artifacts and it being not up to the same level as the other variants.
With your experience with this phone would you recommend it or not? Also does it play mkv videos like the other Galaxy S II variants?
Coming from the Sensation...then returning the Amaze, the S2 is all over those two phones.
What about the issues like the low dpi and artifacts on the screen? Also can it play mkv videos out of the box? I have an evo 3D on sprint and I love that phone and was thinking to stick with HTC since Sense UI is so nice. I'm having a hard time deciding. I also read that it has issues producing accurate colors.

The resolution is not an issue and the screen issues are in my opinion over exaggerated. I'm not saying it isn't there but you have to look for it. Its really apparent in a dark room with the brightness all the way down.
I still think this screen is gorgeous. The colors are really vibrant.
Not to sure about the videos but I will definitely recommend this phone. Give it a shot and if you don't like it return it and get the amaze. I'm sure the amaze isn't a bad phone but this phone is just phenomenal not as buggy and troublesome as the Sensation was.

I have seen the lines and blotches on my screen, but only after reading about it on here. Its probably something you would never notice with normal use. I would definitely recommend this phone. Keep in mind coming from sprint that t-mobile's definition of "unlimited" includes soft data caps.

Absolutely.
After wrestling over it, I decided to get this phone over the Galaxy Nexus. I was ready to get one, but I told myself I will never pay $700 plus for a phone again, even though I almost did it. Then the no sd slot thing, blah. This phone will be fine till S3
The data cap isn't a problem. I barely use 600mb the most. What i like is the much lower bill.

The phone is amazing but network much worse for me than Sprint. I had original EVO then Photon, neither even close to GS2 in all but call drops. I drop about 20% of my calls on Tmo and only dropped about 5 during a year and a half with Sprint.

I live in nyc and the coverage seems good. I can't get a sprint signal in my apt but my friend has 5 bars with tmobile. Also 4G on sprint is an absolute joke since I barely get to use it and when on the battery drains. With tmobile I will be able to save at least $40 a month and that's a lot.
I bought this phone after having played with both the amaze and the sgs2 . I was stuck on the amaze. But i decided to go with the sgs2 because i felt sense would kill off the need for some of my widgets.
By this phone root and rom it . Done !!!!!??

I use handbrake to encode dvd to mkv. Movies look stunning on this using that encoding software and mkv format. Even with dice player and other so called mkv apps, my sensation didn't look this good.

I would definitely recommend it if your headed to T-Mobile. Minor issues with the screen but they are definitely not notable unless I'm using the phone in the dark, and for me the graininess is preferable to the bleed through on the Amaze. Other than that the phone has Web perfect. Fast, smooth and bright!

I just upgraded from the Vibrant and got the gs2 yesterday. I love this phone. I have to say I did notice the screen lines and discoloration when I was reading at night with the brightness set at auto. During the day it's fine. I was set on waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to come for tmo, but there still hasn't been an announcement and besides the 720p and ics, the gs2 seems to beat it specs wise.
I switched from Sprint a few months ago because of lack of 4G and diminishing 3G speeds (200k). I was pulling 5mbps on the vibrant and now I'm getting 11-15mbps consistently with the gs2.

I got the galaxy s II and the Amaze for the other line. I feel the Amaze has a much better quality screen and although smaller you can see more of a webpage with it. The galaxy s has some huge text and looks like it is zoomed in. The screen also looks bluish.
The t-mobile service is so far much better than I had with sprint. I can all bars in my home unlike sprint where I got none and the network is so much faster. My bill is also cut b $40.00 or more so I couldn't be happier.
I didn't realize the galaxy has no notification light unlike the amaze and the dedicated camera buttons would have been nice. I wonder if i can return it for an exchange?
Edit. Exchanged it for the HTC Amaze. Much happier with this phone with the notification light, dedicated camera buttons and the screen looks much better. Thanks for the help.

Disappointed in the Galaxy Nexus

Ok so I have a Galaxy S II for AT&T and I wanted to get the Galaxy Nexus for the hardware acceleration, HD screen, and new OS so I went to Verizon today to check it out. Here is what really turned me off to the phone:
1) YouTube videos are still blurry or pixelated even though the video was in HD. The videos looked better on my phone.
2) The browser is choppy and stuttery. I went to a blog with portraits on wordpress and the Nexus was very stuttery and was not smooth like my GSII. My GSII scrolled down and up the page fine with no lag, buttery smooth.
3) The screen isn't as nice as I thought. My GSII has a lower resolution but it didn't appear that much different to me when comparing. For pictures anyways it seemed like the pictures were soft and when I compared them to my phone I couldn't tell that much of a difference.
Just my take on it. I'm disappointed because I was going to buy the phone on eBay and I was a proponent for the phone but in the end I was let down. Even more happy with my GSII now.

did you ever stop and think that the videos you see on youtube on your gs2 that look better and native 480p and the ones you watch that are 480p on the nexus might not look as good as the 720p videos on the nexus. big big difference.
It's likely the Youtube was set to low quality. My screen looks stunning. I upgraded from a Thunderbolt which had a decent screen of it's own, but this is lightyears beyond better.
The video I watched was crisp, clear, and had that HD "3d" effect you will see on high quality screens.
The browser is the most responsive I've seen on a phone yet.
The phone has quirks (choppy in some areas), but to say the screen is a reason for concern is beyond my comprehension.

people are forgetting that the Galaxy Nexus isn't the "new" flagship phone from samsung. the galaxy nexus is the "new" flagship for the Nexus line of phones. The galaxy SII is still the flagship for the Galaxy S line of phones. they both have their pro's and con's, but it is only worth buying if you are coming from a last gen phone rather than a current flagship.

This. The GN and the GS2 are pretty much in the same league. If you already have a GS2 and don't care much about being on the bleeding edge of Android it's not really worth it to switch.

I kept my SGSII for two days after receiving my GSM GNEX to decide (3 weeks ago).
It was a no-brainier. I sold the SGSII as fast as I could. My thoughts, at least.

Well said. (And since I'm coming from an HTC Thunderbolt, it's safe to say the GN is an upgrade for me, haha).
All the lag issues are pretty well nullified with enabling hardware acceleration.
Did the device the op was testing actually had "Use Gpu 2d accel in apps" selected in dev options? Why all the hate?
Buy whatever you want. Or can afford.

Camera Quality...

As a new one x user coming from a sensation im a little dissapointed in the onex camera tbh, from what I can tell the quality isnt that much better,???
Any tips or advice appreciated
too saturated, isn't it?
I find pictures too saturated indeed. At -1, they are too unsaturated. Probably a setting of -0.5 (which is not possible) would be best! I hope this will be solved indeed.
Even though OneX’s camera is pretty good (especially under low light conditions) I don’t think its significantly better than 8MP phone cameras from last year. Phones cameras are getting better each day, but they are still far behind even dedicated compact P&S cameras.

Well, phone camera sensors and lenses have to be small, and therefore lose quality.
Take a look at the photo thread some great pictures in there, takes time to get that good shoot.
For still subjects try hdr mode, takes a light then dark picture then renders them together so you get better contrast from light to dark.
Also remember that the gallery has photo edits and not just pre sets as full control on levels etc.

Not even going to beat a sub $200 compact point & shoot camera (let alone DSLRs)... My 4 year old 8MP Canon compact takes far better photos.
I haven't done extensive testing, but from the few indoor and outdoor photos taken by me from both phones, I think under dark conditions One X produces slightly better images (but still very grainy), but with plenty of light S3 produces better images (if not equal) to One X.
saturation
My previous HTC HD2 (with Android ROM) produced better pictures than my new HTC One X: less saturated. Pictures look to colour-ish, I would say with the HOX.
Some good replies here so thanks a lot I've not actually fiddled too much with the camera yet, overall i'm pretty pleased with my upgrade from sensation to one x, fortunately i bought the onex simfree and am on a 1 month contract so next htc handset (or possibly something else) i may upgrade to that
