I've just been on a night out. Taken some pics , some good, some bad, I expect that. However!...... The god damn shutter speed is shocking, and when I say shocking I mean awful. I'd like to be able to point and shoot. Its simply not happening. Tried snap camera premium, HTC stock, Google camera, lenovo, it is down to the hardware, what the hell are they doing with this thing?
Taking a pic of people dancing is impossible, something I've never had a problem with before, even in the same venue with the same people doing the same crap dances, its woeful to be honest.
Does anyone know how to speed it up or avoid blur?

A night out like that for me means drinking, low light, and dancing means moving action. Not even my wife's Note 4 takes that good of pics in those scenarios. It has already been posted numerous times to use manual settings. Why would you ask how to control shutter speed when you are using auto? Do a little reading.

First of all I didn't say I was using auto. I said I was pointing and shooting.
Take a look at these pics. Decent light and believe me, the s5 took them perfectly.
Utterly stupid shutter speed. Unless HTC make a better camera next time.
The light was good don't assume things, secondly I only had three drinks.
Also I was not dancing, i tried manual and auto. Raw etc, all the same. Crap camera. Thought it wasn't but it doesn't compete with its competition. Poor
This is front and back cameras too, both awful.
If like to be able to control shutter speed, auto or manual
Those do look really bad, but they are nowhere near the pics I take and see others post. Those aren't even action shots. I know you have had your M9 for a bit because I have seen you posting. Has it always taken pics that bad or did you update and it borked it?

What ROM are you running? What firmware do you have? On 1.32 the camera was a bit crap with over exposure but since the 1.40 update its been improved. You can edit settings to get the most out of the sensor which in all fairness is superb once you've edited the settings.
What happened? Also, I see you have been flashing custom roms. What rom are you on now? I would try flashing back to stock to see if that fixes your issues.
There is official 2.10.401 firmware that was released recently
What firmware do you use
I suggest checking that before you get your panties in a knot

Did you cap ISO at 400 or 800? If you have low light and you want to use fast shutter speed ,which you need for fast moving objects ,u need a high ISO.....
Select high ISO and try again.
Good luck.

Nothings messed up, if i'm in a normal environment, good lighting etc, pics are superb, just when the light fades a bit the pics come out a bit pants.
I'm fully aware of the quote i've written before, however this is not about clarity it's about the shutter speed and the camera blurring shots, granted some people were moving however people were blurring from the slightest of movements, this is down to shutter speed.
I'll look into it myself today.
Thanks for your input all.

Hello
i'v noticed that in some reviews the one x took photos that weight over 5mb mine for some reason takes less then 2.8mb
also panorams takes about 1mb top..
is that normal?
stock One X 1.29.720.11
Silly question really, depends on what your taking a pic off, if I take a pic of my daughter playing inside I'm looking at like 2.5mb but of I take a pic of my family outside with clouds and hills behind them with loads of different colours and shades it will be like 6.5mb

If you are rooted, which I assume you are since you're on XDA, you can install the HQ Camera Mod and get hugely improved photos from the stock app. I'm talking an average of 6-8MB pics with much less noise.

Now on stock 4.0.3.
Then an app like Camera360 would do you good

I hear it does improve it a little, but apparently the leaked Sense 4.5 Camera is even better still, with much less noise and less compression. I've installed the mod, but haven't had the chance to take any photos yet to compare.
Is it me or is the auto brightness on the screen quite poor compared to stock? With stock, I remember I could see the screen change all the time.
Also, the notification color LED looks....off. Blue is much lighter, red looks different. But blue isn't nearly at blue nor as bright.
Also the network status thing seems to change a lot...I can go from LTE to H+ to H to 3G all in the same spot within 10 minutes. While in stock it was always on 4g or LTE anywhere I went.
The notification for voicemail is un-deletable for some reason....
The call quality on CM10 is quite poor compared to touchwiz, It isn't bad, but it isn't nearly as good. It seems CM10 lacks the last settings for this kind of stuff. I am not sure if anyone else thinks so. If not, how can I fix this?
Last thing, Is there a good alternative to the Touchwiz camera? I'd love to have HDR, all the filters, and modes back from the Touchwiz camera. I believe HDR is coming in 4.2. There are a lot of camera apps, but very few have HDR AND other features. They have one or the other. Isn't 4.2 bringing HDR?
Thanks guys. So far I am loving CM10. Everything runs far smoother and looks prettier. Best of all, I'll probably have 4.2 by the time the OTA updates comes out for AT&T.
Can't answer all your questions but with regards to the camera app every one I've tried is garbage. You're better off forgetting that your phone can take pictures until 4.2 comes out.
Edit: actually every one isn't garbage, but like you said they're all missing 1 feature or another or they're unintuitive or slow.
Pro capture is decent but lacks HDR and the panorama mode is a pain to use (not as bad as stock android but it doesn't make sense the way it works). Give that one a shot.

The reason your service is changing frequeantly isn't actually a problem or anything wrong. With CM10 it is reporting the actual signal your phone is getting. With touchwiz it's reporting what you could be connected to. Basically on your stock TW the actual signal will change from LTE to H+ and 3G to save your battery from constantly staying on the LTE connection. Your service doesn't indicate this change because that would annoy most users. On CM10 this change is reported. It's actually the same behavior of your internal radio but you are just seeing it fluctuate more as it is doing it's job to save your battery.
Glad you asked about the camera though. It's the only thing holding me back from flashing because I like to take lots of pictures and the quality just isn't there.
Anyone have some help on the other questions

So turns out that this app does in fact have HDR but it's called 'reduced noise'. So that's taken care of. The only other annoying thing is the constant popups telling you to buy the full version, but I think it's on sale for 99 cents now. Or at least it was yesterday

Interesting. How did you figure out that "reduced noise" is the same as HDR? Does it actually merge two exposures? If not, it may help scenes that would otherwise be over/underexposed, but it's not really HDR...

That is what HDR does. It over exposes and under exposed the picture at different ISO settings. It would take one picture at 200 ISO and the other at 800 ISO. This allows you take a picture where it is light where is is normally dark and dark where it is normally light. This prevents a picture from being too dark in some parts and washed out it others.

Very nice phone with great specs and a super screen. We own 5 of these units (large family) and they all run very smooth. I would recomend it to anyone. This community on the other hand, well not so great. A lot of snooty peeps on here whining about noob this and misplaced that. If you check my signature you can see im no stranger to these forums and I can tell you I have never encountered so many mods and people closing threads and being rude. So if you can live with the community support until the phone becomes more popular and the forum gets straitened out then id say go for it. Just remember that there wont be much custom stuff for months to come. Thecubed sounds like he is coming here though so hope is alive.

I tend to read other forums and the people are down right rude to each other. and Lord please don't say that your s4 or HTC one have a build problem or some kind of possible defect those people will come down on you with the wrath of God. sometimes I do feel like people's comment go way to far but overall it's cool here maybe because there isn't much going on yet but let's hope this group of people can keep supporting each other.

I have also had a ton of phones, looked at the s4 and the htc one, and the OG Pro is by far the best out of the lineup in my opinion. I am very picky about my phones, and so far it has been near perfect, wireless charging is nice to.

One other thing you may want to consider is if your watching benchmark reviews dont pay attention to them atm. The antutu scores are about right but mostly everything else is way off. This phone benches very close to s4 with a larger screen. I think perhaps they were benching with power saver or something to get that low.
Benchmarks are a waste of time. My Samsung infuse is still blazing fast.

There are several pro vs s4 vs one vids that have posted quadrants of a little over 8k. Way low on and totally inaccurate. Ive benched all 5 of ours and they hit 12k each time. The gpu is a bit lower end than s4 speeds but as we know pro has a much larger screen thus slightly decreased scores.
is this phone have fast touch ? because in gs3 when i touch the apps icons it's slow to open not fast touch like gs2 what about optimus g pro ?

The OGPro is extreamly responsive. Any native app opens very fast. As for 3rd party apps- I personally have no complaints but at times it might depend on the app...even thogh the possessor is one of the best out there and no app should cause a slow down.
On the other hand, I come from a SGSII and this phone is a killer...I love it so much!!!
I've never even thought that I will buy an LG but Sammy got me so tired of the look and feel of the UI and without tweeks I was not happy... This one though-I'll keep even without bootloader unlocked

Plenty of owners' reviews around
thanks all friend i got my answer
Good evening all i purchased my new lg g4 today in tan and its better than expected,im just wondering what you all think of it if anybody has 1 and was it as expected thanks for readig
I think almost every member on G4 has it. It's great that you're satisfied with your purchase but there is no need to create an extra topic just for this.
Nah its a good topic. This particular's phone community is really bad tho. I have never seen a community bashing others in every single topic. You guys cant wait for root and constantly are putting down new members.
Really...? If you dont like his post, simply ignore it and move the **** on. Back on topic: I really love the G4. It has a great camera, very fast and responsive (had a few touch issues but it was fixed with a software update) great battery life when you disable gps/data when theyre not needed.
Only downside is the design which doesnt look as good after awhile next to the iPhone and Samsung's premium look but you get leather back for that!
I have had it for almost 3 months and Im still not sure about it. Sometimes I really hate it sometimes I just like it. Lollipop is the thing that makes me wants to destroy it the most.
@kidpaddle45
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just came from a galaxy S6 in all its sapphire goodness. The G4 to me is stunningly beautiful. I was holding it next to my wife's platinum gold S6 and ooh that screen ratio is beautiful. Sure it's not the brightest kid on the block, but who needs to squint to show that off? With accessibility>vision>Screen color adjustment. I can match the colors of sexy amoled just fine. Yes, this is mine and only mine until the Spring flagships are released.
Off topic, the Xperia Z2 Tablet sub is a joke with Real condescending folks.

Sadly this is the norm for these forums. So many people are skilled at faulting someone's post and talking to them like they're in kindergarten. My favorite is "USE SEARCH FIRST! ! THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED! ! " As if no one and their grandma has ever heard of Google or has any idea that the forum search tool often sucks.
Right now I really like the phone but it has so much less support than my G3 on these forums plus so many people having strange issues like random boot loops of death on totally unmodified phones. On top of this my variant has no official KDZ/TOT file released
I've had my G4 for about two weeks, and overall I'm happy with it. Battery life could be better, but I think part of it is something strange going on with my phone causing fairly rapid drain every now and then. May try doing a factory reset to see if that helps
It's sort of a love/hate relationship with my G4. While I love the camera and form factor of the phone, I hate the battery life, overheating, and severe lack of development. I'm really hoping Marshmallow will fix some of the issues.
If they could improve the battery life, heating issues, and random performance lag, this would be damn near a perfect phone, even un-rooted. I had the G3 and HATED it. I like the G4 significantly better. I'm curious to see what they do with the G5 next year.
Mine overheats a bit, and I'm not even playing games.
Sent from my LG G4 using Tapatalk
Mine doesn't. I mean, when I play it does a bit, but it's expected.
I'm about to root my phone (I always do that, this is the first phone that I have for more than 2 weeks unrooted!!), but I do like it a lot (mainly camera).
It's really nice one (came from Galaxy S4).
What bothers me now:
1) When I use ProShot, it's draining the battery a LOT, as well as overheating (I'll check it with the DEV)
2) I do like using Google Now. However, with G4, it keeps activating GPS a LOT, more than usual!! Then, Android System shows as biggest battery drainer.
Overall, very happy.
Cheers.

It's the 'General' section so it's OK to post things like that here, I guess.
But to be honest... The title of this thread could have been more professional
I came from a Nexus 5, which I dropped unfortunately... So I was kind of forced to buy the G4 a few weeks ago.
I'm quite satisfied with the whole package. The community support could be better (Maybe I'm spoiled by my 2 years Nexus experience?!)
But I think we have one of the best phones on the market and the community is growing!
Wow. That's what I said too when I took it out of the box.
issues that irk me at the moment
-battery life is horrid even with mods
-heats up a bit and like someone stated above thats not ven when youre playing games.(also flashed heat mod)
-on screen buttons which is my biggest peeve, i dont understand why people love them and they are the norm, they take up screen real estate. i constantly accidently hit them all the time when im doing things in apps. its just my personal experience but in general a clusterFuk for me.
other than that I love everything else.

Does a reboot improve anything ?
There is no overheating, if it overheats then the device will shut down. SOP on Android.
You have some processes that generating heat. if you're shooting 4k this will happen.
If screen brightness is on max and you're doing something intensive it will happen.
@One Twelve I wouldn't count using Tapatalk as intensive task. Screen brightness level is usually around 40-70%.
The workaround that I use is using power saving mode but the display is dimmer. It is far from ideal, but this way, I can easily last the day without having my battery being drained by the the two cortex A57.

I have it for a week now, love it ofc. No problems so far. Hope I won't get any in the future too.
I believe battery life depends on what phone u came from. It's will be seem as good battery if u came from s4 but bad if u come from note 4/5.

Kinda the same here. Love the hardware, not a fan of the software. CM12 is coming along very well, though, and as soon as Bluetooth is fixed (so I can use my Moto 360), I'll be moving to that as my daily driver. From limited use, it seems very stable!
One major issue I ran into recently was constant power cycling. Even after 3 factory resets, it would power cycle non-stop. I ended up having to get it replaced.
Strangely enough, my friend's G4 started doing the same thing on the exact same day as mine. Both Verizon variants.
I dont get alot of the comments here. I have great battery life especially on standby. Software wise g4 has less bloatware than samsung and i accredidate that to the good performance and lag free experience when the processor is one gen behind current flagships. The form factor in the hand is good too curved back and back buttons are great and took me no time to get used to coming from samsung. If i have a gripe it could be the touchscreen responsiveness butits nowhere near as bad as some people make out.
So I have the 10 for about a week now. Awesome phone, but I really dislike the speakers and video camera
Speakers sucks with both boomsoud mods. Hope it's gets better with updates and Audio mods.
Video cam focus is slow and why it's not 60 FPS like my 2 years old iPhone. Common HTC.

I haven't tested a lot of video, but I thought I read the video would be 60 fps at 1080p and 30 at 4k.
For me the biggest drawback so far has been the screen quality. The resolution is nice, but it has this weird shine effect that is bugging me. You can only see it when it's text on white, and it is more pronounced when you tilt slightly, but it is also there when you're looking straight on.
Didn't see it at first but now I can't look without seeing it and it's killing me.

I've noticed a bit of red tint here. Hopefully this can be calibrated by software in the future(like sony). But the viewing angle is pretty average though.

Stutter and lag: yes I am shocked. I have about 80% of my typical apps installed and the phone has slowed exhibiting jank.

Hmm I'm also experiencing alot of stutter in apps and even in settings (did several wipes, always the same). It's not that bad but it is definitely not 100% smooth. But nobody mentions it in the forums. You're the first one.
I'm comparing it to my M8, which is nexus-like smooth, with almost no stutter at all. The only app where 10 is smoother is chrome.
I think we have to wait till custom kernels pop up. I was hoping the stock experience would be 100% smooth like the nexus phones.

According to all the reviewers, it is.

According to reviewers Galaxy S6 and S7 are also stutter-free. Main reason I returned my S7 is because it was so laggy. But I guess most people really don't care. Doing a little search on google I only see people who used a nexus phone complaining about stutters on devices like S6, S7, etc.
Btw I did a little test here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66729920&postcount=226
Odd: my S7 Edge is very fast and barely has any stutter etc which has surprised me. I was expecting the opposite go figure.

Really? Could you do a test with your s7 with the graphical bars option turned on from dev options.
Btw my S7 was indeed very fast, but just stuttery in chrome (with ads blocked) and apps like YouTube.

Are you keeping both the edge and 10?
I noticed that by default Boost+ will "automatically clear memory in the background", which I had disabled since day one. Perhaps it causes stutter?
Boost+ -> Settings -> Smart Boost

Probably give up the 10: the edge is the better phone for me and I don't mind not having root believe it or not. It does what I want it to do quite well.

It's pretty strange more than one people report this problem since my HTC 10 is very smooth in settings(most of time it's 60 fps by looking at GPU profiling). Would you like to upload a screenshot of settings with GPU profiling turned on?

Could you do similar tests with settings, YouTube, twitter, playstore

This is my result. In settings and youtube, the stutter is less often than yours (it happens), however Play Store is a lagging hell(sometimes worse than the screenshot below).
Not sure if it's a hardware fault or what.
As far as I know htc got their own cpu scheduling implementation, maybe that's the problem.

For what it's worth, my phone came out of the box with Smart Boost disabled.
I played with one today and im not impressed. felt semi slow and i dont like the capacitive buttons. ill keep my nexus 5x and wait to see if and what the htc nexus is all about in the fall.

Yep it's definitely not stutter free. Once you've used a device where the bars stay below the line, these micro stutters are very noticeable.
I hope custom kernels gonna fix it.

Considering I couldn't find any reason that this phone will perform worse than the competition, with same SoC and same DDR4 memory, the only logical explanation is that htc have a stricter frequency control (persumbly GPU) for a better battery life.
