[Q] Xperia Arc S - face detection - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does any ICS ROM have this feature?!
Or is there a camera app that does the job?

Cm9 have that

No front cam in Arc S for face detection mate!

I don't want to use it for face lock and things like that.
According to the specs, the camera supports detection of faces (I don't know how)...
The idea was to have some application that identifies the faces of the people already tagged, for easier manipulation.... or something like that.

Oh,sorry i misunderstood!
Yeah you have face detection in Xperia Arc S stock camera itself!
Try using it..
It detects faces with some yellow or green square around the face!

It seems that the ROM I am using does not have that.... I have to find a workaround...

It should be built in rite?
Try capturing direct faces n see!

It was, I just need to activate the smile 'stuff' on settings....

it was not even that... it is just working now, with the updated version of the ROM...
edit2:
actually, it seems that FB inside Xperia is needed.
And somehow... it does not seem to recognize or tag anyone. Indeed, the yellow square is there...put in the gallery the photo is still untagged.

Glad to hear!
Note: Yeah it just recognizes faces.. In order to tag them, you need fb inside Xperia!

no, that's working fine here.
For me, the vibrations are dead.
I set the "Vibrate" option to always and activated the haptic feedback, but nevertheless, it's not working anymore...

If you have flashed DoomKernel then it won't Vibrate it a reported issue with that kernel.
How about small contact pictures when sync with google? It was the worst thing in previous fw, i hate it! When i set picture to contact, after sync with google that pix became small Maybe this terrible bug fixed in new fw?
To see big pix when contact calling me is very important for me...

No, it can't be because there is a setting for Mobile Bravia engine in that screenshot.
I, too, want to know how to get Automatic Brightness.

The good news is you can deactivate Facebook inside Xperia after this update (in Settings - Sony Ericsson).
another firmware comes out soon, because it is full of bugs!

[Q] Camera app with face detection.

Is there any third party camera app which has face detection? The Ace's camera does support face detection in Smile shot mode but not in other modes. So an app which can detect the face in will be useful for capturing faces better!

Xperia Ion very bad camera quality

Hi... Just bought xperia Ion (no LTE) and one of the main reason I selected it is for the camera resolution.... but with big surprise I'm just noticing that pictures are very bad... lot of noise!
Additionally the camera focus is extremely slow!.... Did anyone experience the same?... I'm on last official firmware. Maybe some mod is available.....
Any help is really appreciated....
Set ISO setting to 800

You can install Lovins mod. He port Xperia V camera with additional tweaks. I am using it on my SXS, focus and photo quality is much better than stock(.55)

Believe me....I had Xperia Arc and photos were much better...I also have Nokia N8 and pictures are just amazing! I like Xperia ION, but unless my camera has hw issues, the photos are simply very low level ones!...What is really disappointing me (along with the Jpeg noise) is the extremely slow focus during camera recording as well...also not available the touch focus!.....Anyway I m going to try the mod you suggested.....
Just quick updating: I installed the camera mod and did some tests. In outdoor light condition autofocus is very quick and pictures are great! Indoor light condition (morning not night), camera focus seems slightly more responsive if physical picture button is used, but autofocus becomes very slow and 30% of the pictures are out of focus. I will continue in playing with setting but I have doubt I could get good behavior in indoor condition!...Anyway, reading in the network, the very slow focus problem is well known issue! (((

This should be software problem
Sony is not good at modifying CameraUI:silly:
Sad but true, my ion cant take pictures as good as my n8. Auto modes dont help much either. I noticed that while taking a few videos on low light using yhe different modes, camera just wont focus when zooming in. I had to tweak some settings( set focus to infinite) to get the image to focus correctly( running xzxperience by the way). Tweaking the settings manually definitelt improves results though. I expected a bit more from sony? Guess I wont be selling my N8 any time soon.

The camera sucks when u take photos from places there are Yellow light, warm light for example in your house. this photos lose quality, but if u use the video cam from those places, u will notice lot of noise..
I have that problem , my cam works 100% in places there are lightday for example in the street, if u take a photo there, the pic will have a nice quality and if u use the videocam u wont see noise.
I think that this problem is software.. i have xperia ion ics version 6.1.c.1.111, but when i had the version 6.1.c.1.105 the camera worked much better

[ion] Smartdock hdmi out screen size issue with JB

I use my ion as a HTPC with the smartdock. I've noticed that since I installed JB when I fire up the ion and view it on the TV the scaling is off. the edges are being cut off. Top, bottom and edges. It's not bad but still annoying. There are no settings on the TV to adjust the size.
Never had this issue with ICS. Can anyone else confirm the same issue?

(REQ) SAMSUNG S4 Air gesture & air view

Has anyone try to port any of the Samsung s4 native software to ZL...like air gesture or air view for web browsing...it uses the camera so maybe it can be ported...
Third party software like wave-o-rama has try to make something like air gesture for gallery app but it is buggy and hard to detect your hand...
Just a request, if its possible that is...maybe it's a gimmick software but I think it's neat to have it and I think these two work pretty well...I've use it and like it a bit...
Thanks for anybody who interested...don't get mad ok...^^
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Not possible. The s4 has a dedicated motion sensor next to the ear piece. And the screen has hardware to detect something hovering over it. Its not software. Only things like smart stay, smart scroll, and smart pause utilize the front facing camera. Maybe look into the optimus g2 forums or optimus g pro. They have most of these features as well

I can confirm it's work.. You just need root in order to enable air gesture in browser and gallery . find it in Playstore or XDA version at Apps Development section .
