Heard that it's mainly the presets that mess up the image. At least with pictures, manual settings prove to make way better pictures. So do your own whitebalance, lower the brightness a bit.

Indeed heared the same thing. On an other forum someone posted 2 pictures 1 with the auto settings and 1 with manual settings and you really saw the huge different in quaility.
I have attachted the 2 pictures in quesiton. You can see the difference for yourself.

the difference on these two pictures could also be, that on manual setting the sun is behind (southeast) him and on auto setting the sun is infront (northeast) of him. It would be better if we get some pictures taken in a row.

Interesting stuff. Would love to see some more comparison shots, as the poor reviews for the camera is one of the things putting me off this phone.

Indeed but when you look at the shadow of the car you see it moved a bit. But the rest of the picture is way better i'll try to do some tests of my own tommorow afternoon.

You could try Vignette, it's in the market. Camera app replacement. There is a free demo available

@ all the owners:
Could you please test the camera with photos and videos and finally clarify once forever these ''mist problems'' ?
Just if its possible to fix with some software adjustments or its an hardware problem...
Thanks

Ah... yeah I really hate that "mist-effect" too. It's the main reason why I'm considering Not buying the 2X and wait for 3D and hope that they've fixed that issue...
I read a review on phonearena.com and they showed a colorfilter called "vivid" which increased the contrast quite alot. That fixed the "mist" problem but then I think the contrast is a bit too high there. But definitely MUCH better.
Anyone know if it's possible to adjust the contrast in the cam app?

I've seen some pics taken with the 3D, also has the same problemm

LG know there's an issue with the auto settings. And as you can see, if you set it up manually the pictures are just fine. So just wait for a small update, and the issue will be fixed....No biggie really, and defo not HW related.

I took the pictures, so let me nip that in the bud.
The pictures were taken in north eastern direction and indeed there is some difference in time when I took them (1st auto settings: 13:00 and 2nd manual setting 14:30). But there was no sunlight directly in the lens and I used my hand to drop a shadow. Before I took both photos I cleaned the lens cover thoroughly.
As supported by other users: the automatic settings tend to overexpose and the automatic white balance is just miles off. I am sure LG will fix this in a future update and otherwise I'll just keep setting it up manually as I do with my dslr.

can you tell us which settings you changed and to what you changed it?
because from my opinion it does make a good improvement to the auto settings.
thx in advance

To make photo quality better and less blurred - just turn "Stabilization" - "Off".
But it's make sense only for photo mode, video still no solution.

I didn't do more than change the white balance to "sunlight" and underexpose two stops. The under/over -expose function is the "+/-" -sign in the first menu when you press the screen in camera mode. Under exposing is only recommended on a bright day. The biggest improvment is the whitebalance, stay away from the "automatic" -setting.
I am very impressed by all the camera setup options on this phone!

And what about the video? Are they fine?

Hi
I have ordered the 2x and uses a Desire now.
It had the same problem initially.
After first removing the grease (from production) on the lens and on the backside of the protective plastic, the pictures was fully useable.
Later on I removed the easy scratched protective plastic altogether and problem solved.

I haven't tried out video yet, but it uses the same setup options. So my guess is that video suffers from the same issues with automatic white balance.

Nexus 7 mini-review

For anyone interested (you've probably read most of the pro's and con's before, or else why would you be here) - I did a small mini-review of the Nexus 7 I received from ebuyer today.
http://www.sudogamer.co.uk/2012/07/13/the-nexus-7-a-quick-review/
tl;dr version: it's nice, and exactly what you'd expect. :good:

Nice review! Just wanted to point out, Adobe dropped flash support for any android version over 4.0.X so no flash for jelly bean

is the image retention issue solved on the production unit and how's the sky video chat image quality (when viewed on other device)?

The Gmail app on the Nexus 7 is good, nicely laid out. Would benefit from a landscape view though. . (again, probably fixable by with a different launcher)

The Gmail app can be used in landscape.

"There’s only 1 speaker on it (so watching films is in mono, and only out of the right side of the device)"
Are you sure? All tear-downs said two speakers were present for stereo sound from what i remember.

'Sky' video chat? If you meant Skype - it's awful! I just skyped a friend with a Nexus 7 and the orientation was wrong on the viewing window, and it was very poor quality.
We tested Google Hangout after and it was a lot better.

Thanks for the quick verification. Based on some reviews for the google IO units, the Skype video chat image is choppy and awful. This however seems to be related to the Skype application so hope Skype will release updates to fix this soon.
You can find many image retention topic related to the IO units. Basically if you display a bright logo or image on screen for short period of time and then switch to a darker background screen you'll still see a faint logo/image stuck on the screen but may disappear soon. (kinda like screen burn in on those plasma TVs but much shorter interval.)

I think it offers a degree of asthetics though to have a uniform grill going across, which may be the reasoning behind it.

Skype is horrible to begin with I think.
I had it on my atrix, my xoom, and my SGS3... they are horrible! even on wifi.
we use tango instead now. I really wish skype would work though, because it can easily be used on computers too.
maybe give hangout a try....

Fair enough - apologies, it would appear there are 2 speakers under the 1 grill but as I said - that's completely pointless. You lose any kind of stereophonic effect by stuffing both speakers to one side under 1 grill.
The playbook (for all its flaws!) does this right, it's a great sounding device.

Updated my original post to give a bit of an FAQ, and confirm that it's possible to view Adobe Flash Player content in the browser on the Nexus 7, albeit not in full-screen unfortunately.

can you take a photo for the warranty policy?
is it have global warranty or local warranty only?

[Video Log] Nexus4 Video Response. What do YOU want to see?

Ok, I was one of the lucky guys that received my Nexus 4 yesterday! Since a lot of you guys will be waiting for a bit and may be tempted to purchase another phone I am going to do some short videos on stuff you want to see. There are alot of "unboxing" videos and they are all really rubbish. Please list out things you want to see below! :laugh:
Check out the videos below then submit your requests!

Benchmarks NEEDED quickly
DETAILED BENCHMARKS
Please makae a video showing the various benchmarks
and also please make a video about Gaming Performance make a video of some really graphic intensive big games PLEASE
any heating issues or lag
1).Test the USB OTG with a pendrive of 16 gb or more as we will require this feature as N4 doesnot have microsd card slot.
2). I have heard that the colours on N4 are dull n luk washed off so please compare it with same content running on both phone.
3).I have also heard that the back is made up of glass and it wont allow any heat to pass thorugh it so please check whether the phone gets hot during benchmark or playing hardcore games for 20-30 mins.
4).how are the camera samples of N4 the colours,noise,low lighting conditions,moving objects,other basic stuff.
5).How long does the phone last on average usage.
6).Tell us how long does it take to charge the phone.
7).One more important thing which other reviewers dont mention also tell us about the call quality and vibration after all its a mobile phone.
8).Also test the sound quality
9).tell us any other problem or lag that you are facing.
it would be really nice if you can make a video or answer theese questions PLEASE BE QUICK

First of all, thanks for the video. Try to plan it out better next time though, so you don't say "ummm" a lot. Still a great video though, and I appreciate the effort
As far as things that I would like to see:
1) Can you please a get a really good close up of the screen/bezel border on the front? I want to know if there's as big of a gap as the Gnex
2) Open up settings, and get a closeup of the background (preferably in a dark room). I wanna know if they fixed that stupid gradient issue in 4.2, and if LCD vs. AMOLED might make it less obvious.
Thanks

I will work on these. But guys I'm not doing benchmarks..... there are some pretty good ones already done and I don't see that as being something I can do in a video.

It's fantastic, thanks man.

do you have an S3 handy? Wouldn't mind seeing an HONEST opinion about the screen differences between a Samoled screen vs this one.. if not then that's cool too thanks for doing this!

Screen Sensitivity
Hi, appreciate the effort you're putting in friend.
1 thing I can think of now that I'm quite curious about is the screen senstitivity of the phone.
Can you do the following please?:
1. (If you haven't already) Go to Settings > Options > About Phone > Tap 'Build Number' a few times till you turn developer options on.
2. Open developer options and turn on the 'Pointer Location' option.
3. Keep an eye on the 'Prs' value at the top of the screen and make as light a touch as possible around the screen. Record the lowest value you can get.
Can you also try and input text at a rapid pace and see how successful it is?
The reason behind all this is that there have been some reports of very poor screen sensitivity on the phone meaning that higher pressure is needed for the phone to register a touch.
Would it be possible for you to make a comparison to another android phone? Galaxy S'x' or a the Galaxy Nexus (if you own one)?
There's a thread in the Q/A forum where people are discussing this but I'm not able to post links yet. It's quite worrying.
Thanks

THANK YOU, SIR! That second video was great!
Also, you're in the UK? You don't have a British accent.

So... Bsi sensor bleeding

Reminiscent of the HTC one it seems that my unit has a blue bleed onto the sensor from the backside illumination. Look up the m7 low light issues. They get worse over time so I'm thinking what will happen is it starts out very mild as it is now and gets significantly worse as time progresses. Here is an example.
You really have to look for it to see it. Crank up brightness and such. When taking low light photos the outer parts must be dark. But really this bs from a flagship. I'll be returning this phone. LG g3 here I come no more bs knox!

Then clearly progresses into a full blown bad sensor. Looks like you completely missed my point of find it now, see if it's a widespread issue like the m7, track it to see if it gets worse, and fix it under warranry or replace if it's within return period like me. Above was my wife's htc one she never sent in(otterbox) next to an htc one we sent in and got back with a good sensor.

So it only gets worse... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595534 and the main reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
Again I only made this thread because this is exactly how my wife's m7 started before it turned horrid. I played xcom on my phone which made it pretty hot for extended periods and ad the first thread states apparently gets worse with heat.

I was thinking the same thing

I made a test taking a picture with the lights off and the phone agains my bed.
ISO 100 --> a very nice black photo
Auto ISO (a very high ISO, i can't remember the value, but it's extremely high) --> you can see at the center of the photo a perfect black, but in the corners you can see some purple tint. It looks like noise, but it's a strange behavior that just the corners are affected.

why is it assumed that since you have the faulty sensor thats just how the S5 was made. maybe you have a faulty device and it needs excahnged. try a second device and see how it is. if its similar thgen this maybe an issue. but one thing from one device isnt "bs from a flagship device"

It gets worse if you enable picture stabilization. Mine has quite a bit in low light, but as FarKeld noted, it all goes away at low iso settings.

with picture stabilization ISO goes up to 2000
btw: I'm getting an annoying error "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" every time I try to see my photos

Can you be more specific? Brightness level, which direction your tilting it, whole screen/part of screen etc

All brightness level. The whole screen had a yellow hue if look at it straightly. But the yellow tint will disappear if the phone is tiled to any direction by 10 degrees.

Mine does this too- it's a "feature" of the last gen OLED displays that Samsung have fixed with the new gen (which Moto obviously couldn't source for this phone). My Nex did this too. Screen adjuster + manual brightness over 50% fixes it for me

interesting.. you mind sharing you setting for the screen adjuster? It's quite obvious and I wonder how all those online reviews don't seem to mention it. A blob of yellow/orange-ness moving across the screen as you tilt the phone

Just went to att store and it seems their display device also have the similar issue but a bit less. Maybe NY last phone, HTC one x, and retina mbp have made me too sensitive for such color changes..

Started the RMA process, hopefully the new phone would work better. I am surprised at the small number of screen complaints about this phone, since samsung's amoled has always had a huge problem with screen consistency.

Updated with pics

I have the same issue too. Just started the replacement process but not sure if the one I receive would be any better. Maybe almost everyone face this issue and dont notice it?

I get it too, but everything else is perfect with this phone and I'd hate to replace it and not only get the same issue again, but maybe another issue too.

Likely. I went to att store and their display unit also does this, bit a bit better and less noticeable. Mine is really obvious that there is a yellow tint that fade in and out as I tilt the screen.

It seems like the back panel material some times peels off and the buttons for some seem bad.
Edit:
There's also the chance of getting a bad battery or an underperforming processor.

sounds scary.. does motorola really have such bad quality control? I know their plant where all our moto x 2014 are built is going to close by the end of the year and I am sure the people there aren't very enthusiastic about high quality.

I don't think so, but anything can happen. And not just with Motorola, defects happen everywhere. I guess my point was that since everything else with my phone is perfect except for a yellow tint depending on viewing angle, I'm not going to roll the dice and replace it unless I know the yellow screen is a fluke.

I see. I guess we will figure out soon. I don't mind the yellow tint, but I hated when I tilt it by 20 degrees the whole screen changes from yellow to blue, the color change is just too big.

Mine is slightly yellow when looking directly, but does not turn blue when tilted. Just crisp white. It's not very drastic.

Yea, I would be very happy if my screen is the same as the one I saw in ATT store, where there''s still some yellow tint, but it's lighter and much harder to notice, even in full brightness. Keeping my fingers crossed.
