because of the stickers....
How did you get it?
Hey does that last picture show the camera lens & flash in a protected section from the rest of the back? Any other pic always makes them look embedded (especially the camera lense)
Wow you have 26 tabs open on your first picture!
P.S. how is the battery life for ya?
I'm guessing it's one of the earlier production models, not the latest revision. All of the review models have been different.

I usually communicate more with texts than anything. Also a moderate (sometimes heavy) data user, and have 2-3 email accounts synced. I'm hoping this thing will last me from when I wake up till at least an hour two before bed. Wishful thinking?

I had no issues reported in previous threads..
-yellow screen? Nope.
-Rattling? - Nope
- Crickling noise with earpiece? Nada
UPDATE: The crickling noise is actually there, but its so damn minimal I can't even hear it from an inch away in the most muted environment. I personally believe it isn't a hardware defect, because since it is a speaker, I would expect a small amount of static noise to slip through. Overall, I can't hear it while I'm on the phone, or when the phone is OFF, so if anything its software that's triggering it.
If you SEARCH for an issue, you will find it
But why bother to, if in the end your just going to complain?
Still pretty damn happy beyond believe with this device. Regardless of the smallest OCD issues reported in this forum.
Just a heads up for people who got confirmation emails last night, and is expecting a phone today! Looks like (well atleast to me) the problems aren't there.. Or maybe I'm just extremely lucky.
Really...glad your phone is perfect. Mine is too, but I don't think we needed a thread for this.:good: maybe go to each thread and report your findings? If everyone made a thread about their phone. It would be cray up in hurrr.
Mine has a blue spot on the screen.

all screens have defects. Amoleds, especially the one on the Galaxy Nexus, are more likely to have defects compared to LCDs. i think you were just unlucky with this Nexus.

That's what happened with the galaxy and google ended up refunding me.
If I were you, I would loop a video for like half an hour and see whether it improves. I also got similar things on my Xperia S and it's actually fairly common if the LCD is new or it has not been used for a long time. I looped a video with a lot of action and moving scenes for about half an hour and now it's perfect.
Mines gets a yellow spot as well it went away tho came back then a little again now its gone...

You don't read. I said report in those threads that you don't have issues. Others did the same,as did I. Ready. Set. Go. Everyone make a thread about the condition of their phone. See how ridiculous that Would be? I was just saying this wasn't new thread worthy. Get your undies out a bunch

Hey everyone,
I've seen there's only been a few people posting Photospheres in the N4 section, and even then, no one has really talked about how to make them the best we can.
I believe there's a similar topic in the Galaxy Nexus Section, so why not make ours as well. So far, this is what I've noticed helps towards getting good results:
- Try to avoid having people/objects too close to you: The lens is a wide angle, meaning perspective changes A LOT with close elements.
- Do it calmly: At first I just thought "Too fast" was just fixed once I stopped moving the phone, but the thing is, apparently the phone's gyroscope DOES get a little confused, making it think we're on a different angle than we really are, shifting its whole perception of the picture.
- Use the phone in landscape mode: From what I've seen, the camera has more trouble stitching images in a vertical alignment, while it usually has no trouble stitching images next to each other. So the best option is to get the pictures that are below/above each other as close as possible (so that the tilt angle varies as little as possible), while the pictures next to each other can afford to have a larger difference in their panning angle. - Update: According to user kcls, this is a sure black dot in the top-bottom of your sphere.
I also read a couple other tips that I'd like to implement once I have the chance:
- Use your lens as your rotating axis: I wonder why I didn't think of this before. The sphere should be built around your camera (specifically, the lens/sensor), but we usually move our arms around with it, meaning the point in space where we take the picture from, is different all the time, meaning our perspective is different, meaning the pictures might not stitch as well.
- Use the back arrow: D'uh
Anyone has more stuff to comment?

I'd like to note, however, if you plan on making one of the "Tiny Planets" out of your photosphere, and you don't want a big black dot in the center, you must take the photosphere in portrait mode.

Great tip about the portrait mode, I was very annoyed by the black dots in landscape.
I was wondering about the "Use your lens as your rotating axis" part and I looked it up. It seems that google's instructions are to move the camera "laterally" which for me translates to something different: having your body as the axis and rotating it around you. In my opinion it makes more sense; it's too awkward trying to rotate the phone around itself. It wouldn't be harder for photosphere to stitch the photos as long as your arms are always the same distance from the imaginary sphere center. In short, imagine that you are moving your phone in a way that it's tracing a sphere which has your neck as its center.

Interesting. Maybe they did think of the Photosphere function in this way, but it's just a matter of logic that, due to the variation in angle, it's better to use the camera as the axis...
It does get harder to manage, though. It is awkward, and hard to keep it in the same spot in space for that long, while moving it 360 degrees. But the advantage is undeniable. As I said, it's as simple as keeping the same point of view, vs changing it for every snap.
Omfg, use the phone as the axis.
I've been taking spheres for a while, starting on my sensation running jellybean. Why in the world did I not figure this out!

It is, mostly. But for some reason, sometimes we just don't think about it. If you had read the thread, you would understand
This article goes into great detail.
It even breaks down the sensor technology as well as comparisons between the iPhone 5 and Nokia Lumia 920.

It goes into such great details.
I wonder if HTC could do something about the night mode. Since it captures better photos in night mode than the phone adapting to the darkness. Maybe do something were the sensor notices it's dark and reviews the time on the phone to automatically go into night mode.
Jeez never read a review that was so in depth

Makes me want the darn thing even more.
I'm excited to see HTC turn around. I've stuck by them through it all since the OG Evo days! I can't wait to see the One and experience the next generation of HTC.
amazing
that's good:silly::silly::silly:
In fact, I do really like the iphone-similar appearance on HTC One.
It's iPhone like only in that it's metal and square... It's distinctively HTC in design though. It's way more EVO than than iPhone. I'm pretty proud that they made all of the choices for the right reasons. Now my biggest concerns are s off at some point and getting more than 1 OS upgrade out of them.

Were there recommended camera settings posted in the mega picture thread? I believe I saw a post that stated people were getting best results using a certain combo of settings. I know settings depend on circumstances but it would be nice to know what the 'bar' was.
Every now and our great devs give us ability to install ported cameras from other devices (HTC, Motorola etc.)
I was wondering if its even possible to port camera from LG G4? Had this phone shortly between Note 3 and my current Note 4 , and its by far the best camera app I've ever seen on a cell phone (imho).
I actually have another G4 available that my wife is using, so if I can help to make this happen l would be more than happy to.
No, I don't think so.. different system files probably won't be compatible...
