Hi mate install this [ROM] TG P990 ICS V30A - Stable - Rom and Advanced Kernel and you will see the camera quality just perfect 8mp photo and video everyting works perfect you also can overclock it over 1.3mhtz.
Good Luck !:good:

i don't think the quality is so bad for a smartphone ,if you wante to make good photos ,you should buy a reflex ,not a smartphone ,it's not made for that !
and yeah +1 for the LG crappy software !

everyone blind?
jealous of the other phones camera shots.
Why are you running realities. this rom is a disgrace.

I bought this phone is $ 750. This is a great money. had a two-year software warranty. this software is now happening. I am very angry. I would just like to thank forum.xda.
Without this forum, our voices were gone lost.

1st of all - don't use colored text when you write posts, it hurts the eyes when reading... everyone here will be gratefull for that
2nd - if you don't like LG p990 - just buy the other phone and spare us from reading unuseful posts in the future
3rd - if you want good picture quality - buy an micro 4/3 slr camera like Olympus Pen series (small, portable,...)
i always smile at people expecting great photos from their mobile phones - yes, some HTC's and iPhone may have better pictures than our LG O2x - but that is also a crap quality if you ever used a decent photo camera in your life...

Calm down. If you want to complain, send a message to LG.
Please close this thread before it becomes a 10-page crying monologue.

I would never spend that kind of money on ANY phone, no matter the brand or specs... But anyway, it was your decision. However, speaking of the "software warranty", you must be dreaming, because there is no such thing in the universe. Not sure what you are talking about... I don't know, you may have some sort of a support agreement from your carrier saying you would get updates for two years, but nobody in their right mind, be it a carrier, retailer or manufacturer, would ever guarantee either particular timeframe for software updates, or specific versions/functionality.

On my phone (stock V30a) it takes about 2 sec from pressing a shutter button to the moment the camera is ready for another photo. Not bad, in my opinion. In poor light conditions, when the flash is enabled, it takes up to about 4 sec (longer time to focus). However, the flash is very good, with no overexposure.

Photos quality is ****ty when we compare it to GB. ICS have too much compression on it...

OK the camera is bad.... And every review about the o2x said so, or at least most of them so does it come as a surprise? Not really at least not for me.
You all did read about the phone first before you bought it right?
You can't have been that stupid that you bought a phone and a rather pricey one for that matter and not have read at least 1 review?
Also you did go to a store and tried it to, right??
Of course you all did. I can't think about at any person not sane enough to do those two things before they buy a phone. Even my 80 years old grandma does that, she visits the stores multiplied times and different stores each time and try the phone, asks the salesman and finally comes to me for a review "is it a good phone for her or not".
Based on these facts the camera quality can't have been a surprise.
Next thing is the software updates. That's not really any surprise ether of course LG have been bad on this part. But most people know that unless Nexus is written on the phone you won't get any fast updates. Some manufactures are then better then others but most have the same problem. If you don't believe me.... Take a field trip to any other none nexus phone here on the forum that's as old as our, and see for your self..
And if you can't live with this go and buy one of those half eaten fruit phones. They have fast updates and long update support life.

But camera on GB is really good when we compare only a smartphones.

and that is because you use a ICS leak firmware v28
try stock or custom v30 ICS and the high overexposed pictures made with flash are gone.
taking pictures are a tad quicker also.
i agree on the fact that GB AND cameramod from AndyCP give me 3-5 mb photo's
it is just a matter of time until great tweaks like that should come to us.

[Q] i9000 colours washed out after new screen

Hi,
My screen died and have had to get a new one installed. The thing is, the new screen is fine, but the colours are really bright, even on the lowest brightness setting. I bought it to the attention of the guy in the shop, he took it off auto which was better but now I'm using it, it's actually not right at all.
The brown and greys of the UI should be dark, everything is too bright. The OS is still at the latest version from Samsung, GINGERBREAK.XWJVH which is what I had before.
I've looked all over and cannot find anyone with the same problem. Does anyone know if this is the software problem that I have seen in other threads or a hardware one? It just seems strange that my old screen was darker than this.
Thanks,
Luke.
new screen a genuine samsung product? I think its with the hardware...
It could be that an LCD screen has been put in. We are meant to have an AMOLED screen. Samsung did start shipping SGS with LCD screens when there was a shortage but im not sure how to tell for sure. Remember AMOLED is meant to have near enough pure black. Does your screen have this? If not its very likely LCD.
Also you can try using a colour tuning app. I know there is voodoo colour or voodoo screen. (Not sure if its on the market)

Have you tried a factory reset?
If you are in the UK or within warranty try take it to Carphone Warehouse, one that has a repair centre. Don't tell them you changed the screen (it may void warranty, unless you took it to a Samsung authorised repair shop) and ask to update to the latest firmware. They usually have it back to you within the day unless they are busy in which case you can collect it the next day. If this doesn't work then its most likely the screen.
Also look for ways to find out what type of screen is installed. Im sure others have faced this issue before. Good luck

Nope, not tried a factory reset, would have to back everything up somehow. Took it to a techcentre.co.uk in wakefield. I did email Samsung and asked about whether a screen was covered by warranty (it's not) a while back tho.

TBH they look kinda similar, but i guess we'll have to put it down to camera. Are you sure it looks washed out?? I thought so before but next to yours...it doesn't really look bad, yours looks better in areas.
Yup, see how dark yours is on the greys.
Luke.
Ok, was sitting with the galaxy in my hand, a few times with light pressure in the top left corner of the screen caused the colours to darken to normal.
Then the following day after charging, turned it on, the colours were dark. It has been right for the last 2 days...it has just reverted to uberbright again.
Faulty screen?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Yh could be... but because you said you press on a corner I suggest you look up the videos that show the opening up and see where the screen connector is. Its possible they didn't install it properly. Also I think the screen has to be glued to the digitizer. (Not sure). What happen when you contacted them, did they offer to check it? Its worth giving it back to them, you've had problems since day one and it hasn't been 30 days so should still be under the return/faulty product policy
They sent it back to head office where they apparently took it off and reconnected it. I basicaly said to the guy i wsn't happy. He said nothing. I just walked out wss so pissed off.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Also, this flip is not constant, so is annoying i cannot get it to change on cue.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Hmm im sure they have a complaints department... When you go to them tell them your not happy and that you want it fixed or your money back. You want a new screen put in.
Try get some evidence like the picture your put up. Have the same picture when its washed out and then when you can get it working properly bring that same picture up and take a photo of your phone again.
Also threaten them not physically but with reviews. Say that you are going to go onto every review site and tell them of their crap service. That you are actively part of forum sites like xda etc and will preach their awful service. Which you have already started here.. You can do it on google maps as well. You can remind them that having one bad review usually counts for more in both ratings and perspective then a few good reviews.
Btw i unfortunately broke both the screen and digitizer the other day and by your experience I wont be using them (If insurance pays out, so glad i didn't cancel it, otherwise i think it will have to go to ebay )
Finally you can tell them and take them to trading standards. They have sold you a faulty part and are refusing to solve the problem.
Here is what it looks like:
and the UI
Thanks,
Luke.
That is perfect! In the first video between 37-41 seconds its super clear there is a difference. Im sure that is not mean to happen that would be a proper fault in the phone and would have been corrected by Samsung and there would have been a recall and everything.
Do that in-front of them if you haven't already. Before you do though call and/or email the complaints dept. with a link to that video. And specifically tell them to look at 37-41 seconds on the first video. If they then don't agree to take another look at it or fix it then trading standards! It may be worth saying that in the email.
"I have been to .... and showed them my problem, told them about it multiple times. I am now showing you proof that this is a legitimate problem and am not happy with the service i am receiving. quote some crap from the website where they say they give great service and after sales support." Explain it has been less than 30 days and that you have been seeking support for this issue from the beginning. If you do not receive the support as stated by the website and as required by law you will be contacting trading standards for false advertising and poor service blah blah.... Just make sure you write it clear and to the point. Describe how you fix the problem in bullet points, and obviously say this is usually a temporary fix that lasts approx mins.
Hope that helps.. If you write that letter or contact them over the phone with most of the above and the evidence then they should fix it. Look through their website for what they say if they dont fix it and the guarantees they have for the service they provide. So you can quote them. BTW look through the trading standards website as well, because everything i have said is based on what I have heard and read from forums/articles/conversations. You need facts and evidence. I find shouting and anger doesn't usually work for me personally as i have a calm nature so its hard for me to portray anger lol If you can project your anger well then it does usually work quicker
Well, some success. I wrote them an email on the 4th, no reply, sent them another email demanding a response otherwise I would contact TS and give a bad review on Google Maps, was contacted the next day (I sent the email quite late in the day) by the MD, who basically agreed to give me a refund. I went today and got said refund. He saw the screen and I pointed out the banding. He was quite ok about it all really.
Don't get me wrong, their service is good, just bad that they don't know a good from a bad screen.

LG Optimus LTE2

Just found my next phone
http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...-2gb-ram-true-hd/&category=classic&postPage=1
Why?
My beloved O2X are still great, after more than a year. Snapdragon isn't made by NVIDIA
And I guess Arcee are also going to get one
Sorry for OT, but i couldnt find a LTE2 thread....

I prefer IPS than over-saturated super-amoleds as well. So if LTE2 is an international phone, then I'll definitely prefer it over the S3 as well.
And... LG's models always look hot. Their phones look nice too.

Yeah, we all know that for a fact.
Thing is, I came from a Moto Milestone, and support was actually worse there. And I'm hearing some people complain about Sammy and HTC support too. So at this point, it kinda feels like Google Phone or bust.
wont buy another lg phone.. support sucks (as already mentioned).
Love my O2X due to the great o2x devs doing their magic..
But its hard for a new phone to gain that much users and devs.
We'll see about that but my next phone will be a nexus for sure
O2x is the best phone I've used tbh, our gingerbread release is still top notch on CM7, and ICS isn't a necessity yet, just something we love to ***** about.

Also think that IPS screens are better and more realistic than AMOLEDs, and the one on LTE2, with HD resolution, could be the best one out there!
I am keeping an eye on this phone, too. LG has great hardware, and LTE2 not being based on Tegra chipset makes it just better for devs to do their magic. 'Nough for me!

Honestly, the ONLY problem I had with my phone, was that after a while it would 'stutter', in vid's/game's etc. I believe this was down to bad memory management and ony 512MB RAM. If that had been sorted I would NOT have good rid of my O2X for anything. It didn't EVERYTHING I wanted and more. Was a cracking good phone.
I think too many people get into wanting to hate companies and forget about the actual product.
Waiting for this phone as well, since the Galaxy S3 looks ridiculous.
Was waiting for the 4X, but I don't want another Tegra device.

ASUS has done a darn good job with frequent updates for their Tablets and the fastest ICS Delivery. I think the Padfone will be a device I'll have a very close look at.
Obviously Optimus LTE2 will have brilliant hardware, but if it wouldn't have CyanogenMod suppoted, it will not be the phone I want.

Does it feel a lot thinner then the N4? My wife has an HTC One and I love the thinness of that device. My N4 feels like a brick next to it. Do you notice much difference when holding the N4 and N5?
Also, how is Kit-Kat. Dies it feel like much of the same? What about screen size? On a 4.7" screen the nav bottons feel like they take up way to much room. On a 5" screen, do you now feel like there is plenty of screen real estate to do what you want to do?
And last for now, how does the screen quality compare to the N4 or any other top of the line phone out now?
Thank for any responses....

Doesn't feel any thinner to personally, When I lay the N5 flat next to the N4 is actually pretty level due to the camera hump.
Kit-Kat is smooth and really responsive, the translucent Status and Nav bar is a great touch imo.
The screen real estate is ok for me, especially considering this is about as big as my hand can support with one handed use. I'm sure as soon as custom roms start coming along we will be able to utilise PIE controls again.
In terms of Screen quality it's really sharp but the colours appear to be slightly washed out but once again I'm sure custom kernels will remedy this.
after some time please share battery life impressions.. !!!

That sucks about the size! So no wow factor with the screen. I love the HTC One screen so was hoping the N5 would be just as good or better.
Post some Camera Samples

Sorry for the terrible pic Nexus 4 never did take great photos in bad light.

Can you please post some camera samples? Doesn't have to be anything photogenic, I just want to get an idea of quality when it comes to random pictures in non-optimal lighting situations etc. Could be outside a window, your foot, a wall/chair, doesn't matter.

As I said in the Photos thread I take really bad pictures so take these with a grain of salt.
Thanks.

Does the N5 feels bulky in hand? Because it does on the picture.

Feels really good in the hand imo.
The soft touch plastic is really nice and doesn't feel cheap at all, It is slightly slippy however.

How does the battery drain look so far? How much screen time on do you have right now -- and how much battery is left?
Can you tell us about the notification LED? Does it work out of the box or do you need to install a 3rd party app?
Thanks!
Has anyone seen any unboxing videos yet? That's my pre-order porn man.

Worked out of the box.
Works fine with lightflow and It's super bright as well!
It's actually better than the LED on the N4

Farewell all

Just posting a farewell thread folks, ordered a white Nexus 5 32gb 399.99 from Google Play on Friday it got here today, Monday. I activated it over the phone with Sprint in under 5 minutes and threw the sim card from HTC one into the Nexus 5. Boom, instantly works beautifully. I am getting LTE so much more then I got with the HTC one I am barely ever on 3g anymore! Also everyone used to complain to me about call quality on the One, this problem is now gone no one complains anymore. The only thing I miss are the speakers, everything else is better in every way. I use a portable 30 ish dollar bluetooth speaker every once and a while when I care enough to grab it. Snapdragon 800 is amazing and the 8mp camera is better then htc 4mp "ultrapixel" bogus. The HTC one was nice for a while but this phone is an upgrade for me. Going to go sell my HTC one on craigslist or ebay for 350 now. Goodbye everyone! try to enjoy your htc ones!
Toodles

Try to enjoy our ones? You sound like you're on Samsung's jock. I love my One. I acknowledge the camera issues but its smooth, sounds great and it has the UI of any android phone.
Bye

Wouldn't it be LG's jock that he's on?
Yeah, the cam is not as nice as it has been pimped. What phone hasn't had this exact problem? My N4, LGOG and ONE all were like this.....try to say that the N5's camera is soooo much better and I will say

Lol. Why are you posting a farewell? Honestly, unless you're a developer, I doubt anyone really cares... I switched to the Nexus 5 as well, and agree with you on pretty much everything. I just don't see a reason to tell everyone about it because I don't develop or theme or anything so it hardly matters. I'm still keeping my One anyway, just in case...

Its like were supposed to get upset and beg for him to stay with the One or something.
Dear nobody,
Everyone, including your own mother, couldn't possibly care any less than we do.
Your friends,
No one is your friend.
P.S. If you hasn't of said anything no one would have notice that you left. Now we just don't like you, so was it worth it?

Life will never be the same ever again. Like a cold sore you've grown an emotional connection with for some twisted reason.
Farewell, Sprint HTC One Forum's face herpe. Farewell
Post goodbyes in the OT thread please....

Ultimate Off-Topic Thread

Well, @aSuperSaiyanG0D and I decided it'd be a good idea to bring an OT thread to the forums
So I'll keep things short and simple to start with. This thread is not for discussing issues with phones or anything, it's for the the exact opposite.
What are everyone's thoughts on the iPhone 6?
When do you think Android L will release?
Anybody pick up Destiny since it released?
All I have to say bout iPhone 6....

I literally just showed that to my sister and she said, "I don't care how great an Android is, I'll always want an iPhone."
It's a social symbol these days. And I guess in our society our value is what others perceive of us. So yeah, people are going to keep buying those things. Breaks my heart.
Although I will say, the slow motion video could be kind of cool. Not that I'd see myself using it.
The only thing bout iOS that I'll admit is kinda nice, is when you jailbreak, and something screws up, it's very very hard to brick it. Just use iTunes and you can just restore it.
But then again, that would be to easy huh? Cx
Haha, I can't count how many times I've restored my phones via KDZ flashes... Nearing a hundred I assume lol.
Wow look apple made the iPhone 6 bigger and faster never saw that coming. Not really ground breaking stuff
I think that ios8 is a nice update for the ifags.
Has is some cool stuff, all things android has had for awhile.
But I still wouldn't buy a iPhone. In my opinion iPhone are the Nokia of the 90s, generic as [email protected]#k.
Really looking forward to see what android brings with its android L release.
The Sony xperia z2 has slow motion camera too

You hit the nail on the head. It's a status thing. Most people spend way too much time worrying about what others think of them. This distorts their own perception of themselves. I figured out early in life, as a teenager, that it really doesn't matter to me what others think of me. I am who I am the way I am.
On another note... CM11 currently building and I am waaayyy past where I was getting errors earlier. No longer using CAF kernel. Switched to LGs kernel base instead, for the time being anyways. Having to do a fresh build so it won't finish til @ 0400 EST.
Since we are of topic friends of mine are doing a media project

Exactly how I feel, too! I'd rather gauge out my eyeballs and pull out my fingernails than "fit in". All that leads to is either hating or being hated. Life's way too short to worry about what the popular girl or guy at school is wearing or using.
I'm pretty much of a misfit anyway so there's no way I'll be able to fit in even if I tried. Hahaha.

Before owning this phone I just wrote off LG as a Samsung copy cat. Considering how similar the UI and features they share. After owning this phone I have come to the conclusion that LG UI(whatever they call their UI) is touchwiz done right. Much like how I feel about MIUI iOS done right as well...still can't wait until more AOSP roms are present. Hoping this unreal price attracts devs to tinker with it

I agree and am grateful for all the work you and other devs do. Any plans on doing a ROM based off of LG stock ROM like HTC and Samsung has? Not a request nor trying to sound pushy just curious
