well, coming from the Rezound, the nexus camera has been...quite unimpressive to say the least. comparison shots here:
http://imgur.com/a/r6EOP
the nexus camera seems less focused, less sharp and overall just more blurry. this camera really is just quite bad, IMO, compared to the rest of the phones that came out at teh time (even the motorolas, eww lol) so i'm wondering, what apps are you guys using?
i've been running JB since i got it, and although i love the cool features of the JB camera and the quick shutter speed, i feel the quality of the camera/pictures/videos is not where it should be. therefore, are there any mods to the camera that maybe make it less compressed? (we had a rezound mod that did that, and pics would go from 1.5 mb to 3.5-4 mb, and we made the audio codec encode at a higher bitrate on the videos, along with a higher video bitrate as well)
basically just looking to see what i can do to somewhat make this camera atleast equal or close to my rezound! thanks!
Subscribing. I've been unimpressed with the camera as well and have heard about different camera apps making a difference.

Same here...been hating the camera also. Try using HDR camera. Makes the colors a bit better.

guess i need ICS for this, huh?
nm i found the newer version in the first thread, stupid me lol trying now but ADB isn't recognizing my phone, grr.
I got to test the SGN2 last night and i have to say, I LOVE IT! I am getting myself this phone for Christmas. Anyway enough babbling...check out these scores from Antutu and Quadrant. Blew my 3D out of the water.
I totally love this phone. Running Sleshepic's ice reborn. I don't think there's anything that comes close to this thing.

I used to root and run Roms but I feel that in some ways rooting almost shortens my phones life. I bought an Evo 3D and decided not to root and the phone runs great on stock ICS. And I do agree that this phone is topdog amongst the rest. Can't wait to get my hands on mine.

2 years ago I got myself the Evo 4g, had it stock for the 1st year (because I didn't know about rooting) then I got the samsung galaxy tab 8.9. I wanted to use the tab at work & someone mentioned rooting for free wifi tether. Best thing I ever did. I got the flashing sickness. I would sometimes flash 4 to 5 roms a day. Now I have the amazing note2. Anyway, my Evo looks brand new, rooting it didn't harm it in the least. It made it a better phone. Now it's a media device. Just my 2ยข

I had my mind set on getting the note 2 ever since I heard about it, but after watching a video on YouTube that compared the note 2 and the DNA, I'm not so sure. The video ran every benchmark that antutu has to offer and the DNA beat the note 2 in almost every test by a little. Also, the DNA has a larger resolution.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Benchnarks are relative. You dont know if its been overclocked or if one has a bunch of apps or services running. You have to look at the specs and see if its better. I ran both of these benchmarks after reading this and my phone had better results several times and worse results several times.

I think you have a point. I noticed that the note 2 has a faster clock speed on it's CPU but thought that perhaps the make of the CPU alone could make a difference in performance (Intel CPUs vs AMD CPUs for example).
In regards to resolution, has anyone seen the difference between the note 2 and the HTC DNA? I don't think the video review does a good job of showing the picture quality of each phone.

I have played with both devices and while the DNA is a nice device it does feel sluggish at times especialy when hopping in between different open programs.
As for the display, its all about user preference. I prefer the Note for the vibrant colors. The DNA seemed a little crisper but it also bothered my eyes after staring at it for awhile.

Very helpful! I tend to multitask when using my phone so i'm leaning back toward the note 2, especially since it has that multi window feature.

Um, the GN2 has an s pen. Is there any comparison?

I think you're doing yourself a serious disservice if you make your decision based on benchmark scores from either one of these apps.

I believe there is a comparison between the two phones as they are both rather large phones and leaders in performance.
I personally don't consider the s pen the note 2's defining characteristic (although I can see why some would). The s pen aside, the note 2 is a beast of a phone. I think of the s pen as an added bonus, similar to my Samsung Epic 4g's slide out keyboard.

These would be the least of the things I would use to consider a new phone. I was just running these and was suprised at the score. I've been set on this phone for a while. And if I don't get it, ill probably consider another HTC. I love the sense.

I always find myself messing with the benchmark apps of Quadrant and Antutu, it does do a good comparison. And for those who say some times it is slower and sometimes higher.. When you run a car/motorcycle on the dyno or quarter mile don't you also get higher and lower results? It may not be the most concrete comparison system but it isn't garbage.(not saying anyone in HERE called it garbage but have heard it in other places). Anyways for a 7600 score on quadrant what were you running for clock speed min max, the gpu settings etc. I noticed you were on the Venum Ice reborn ROM. it is Odexed, aren't those supposed to be faster?
Also how do the fellas on top of the Antutu boards running the Gn2 run the test at resolutions of like 720x8 and other crazy res's like that?
I had a couple real low 7k quadrant runs but they got wiped flashing ROM's and not saving it. but here's what I do have.
What do you guys think, is it worth trading my one S for a S2?

Yes. There's a much bigger jump from an S to S2, than from S2 to S3 in my opinion. Worth it.
NO.
Why on earth would you downgrade? The One S has better hardware, better build quality, better screen.. the only con I can think of is this phone having better dev support if I'm not mistaken. In every other aspect, the One S is much better than this phone.

Dev support goes a long way for some.....(me) lol.

Better screen, Hardware, Sexiness, NO External SD Card, low Dev Support=One S
I would do it, but the fact that you can't change the battery or add extra Storage keeps me at a stuck point.
Thanks a billion guys. Guess I will see you on these forums soon then.
One S Is a nice phone. But like many have said we have low dev support.
The two facts that the screen is bigger plus external sd card slot Is something that makes you for get about build quality or 'better screen'

Ok i know with digital cameras the mp diffrence can mean nothing since it is dependent alot on the hardware using it....
My question is does it work the same for cellphones? Ive read that the snapdragon 600 is capable of up to 21mp. Is there a way to make our phone or any phone go up to that high of imaging capabilities? Does our camera quality depend on the lense used or is it a combination of lense/hardware/software?

Depends on the sensor inside. There's no way to make it go that high without replacing the sensor.

Hey Guys,
Just bought the Nexus 7 2013 yesterday and everything works pretty smooth as expected. But the camera keeps on focusing while shooting a video. As I am a VFX Compositor I seriously need the camera to be stable. Is something wrong with my device or its just a bug?
If its a bug and google is working on it then fine, else this one is going back to store. Please Help.
Thanks
I think your expectations exceed the capabilities of the device. That said, try another nexus 7 at a retailer and see if yours is defective.
The rear camera is mediocre at best, and the front camera is only suitable for video chats. I only use the rear camera for scanning qcodes and UPC codes. Does a fine job on those.

Ya but it has to be stable. I know the limits of the device. Even Samsung Galaxy Tabs are stable once you hit the record button.
Anybody experiencing the same problem?

I tried recording one time indoor and had this problem. I thought it might be low light issue and haven't tried again in outdoor setting. Same lightening works fine on Nexus 4. Will try some outdoor and see if its light related. Hope this is not hardware issue. I've been lucky so far and have avoided the other issues so far.

I tried one recently. Outdoor doesn't refocus as much but it still has slight refocusing (slight blur but not as bad as indoor). It could be due to subjects moving around and its trying to pick up the focus point.
