Hi guys. I had a htc hd2.. the camera didnt work so i got my money back.. Going to buy a htc incredible s i think (maybe desire hd)
I was wondering how the front and back facing camera are? when you record a video with the back camera does the sound suck? i saw a video by pocketnow and it was really bad.
+ does the phone lag sometimes ? anyone tested quadrant yet?
camera's are perfect (my opinion)
recording sounds hmm well its not a professional camera but hey its a phone... but far away best i had so far.
highest quadrant score i had was 1791 but you should not look at those scores because its score of a specific moment...
i havent got lag at all so far, except the first minutes i started it, but hey setting up is normal i hope
after that went faster and faster.
well very short said, i dont regret buying this phone.
First score was 1550
Camera both front and back are amazing IMO.
Coming from a Galaxy S
Cheers
Hey guys was just wondering if there was a fix for the camera issue on miui 1.8.5 rom, its very laggy, quality ain't great and right when u take a photo goes all fuzzy wit green screen, its an amazing rom but wit a 8mp camera the camera software lets it down a bit

Yes, it is a known issue.
You will see a green colored distortion when you click a photo.
however the final image when viewed from the gallery should be of better quality (if not best quality)
it is really a great rom, but no support for the IncS.
i assume you have recently started using this rom, you will find a few more bugs soon
> Choose 8MP in camera settings to have shots preview working correctly
>Try Tiamat Kernel @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180082. I find camera running bit smoother with this kernel.
nothing works actually, this problem is in CM7 too, I've tried all settings+tiamet kernel.
I'm planning to upgrade from my X10 to one of these 2 phones, Sensation XL and Galaxy S II.
My uses are chiefly listening to music (mostly house & trance music), web browsing with no plugins, taking photos, ROM flashing and casual gaming (I don't play big fat games like GTA III but a sucker for casual ones like Fruit Ninja and Game Dev Story).
Currently I'm leaning towards the XL for:
- Its screen (4.7inch, a bit low resolution means that the keyboard and fruits are bigger, not to mention I'm an avid hater of the super AMOLED screen)
- Better sound quality (heard that the S II's sound quality isn't good and I never use EQ)
- Better build quality (S II is too plasticky, and I just love the aluminium back/sturdiness of the XL body)
- My girlfriend is planning to purchase a Sensation XE
But the S II takes advantage of:
- microSD slot (my music is all 320kbps MP3, 6-10 minutes long/track)
- Better specs
- More ROM/tweaks/mods (at the moment)
Which one should I choose?
i know this one,ive just come from s2,s2 is fast as lightning,its like a lamborgini,games were awesome and smooth,if its pure speed you want then this is your best option.XL isnt as fast,its a bit more refined like a Bently,if its quality and a big screen you want then XL is ideal,depends if your not concerned about no sd card slot but the galaxy nexus has that problem to but if your like me,i dont listen to every single song i have in a day and i have over 40gb of music but i just did what i did when i had an iPhone,just swap and change.Sound quality is far better than the s2 and with a free set of beats aswell music sounds out of this world and as your trance fan,trust me when i say energy52-cafe del mar and alt+f4 - alt+f4 sounds outa this world.Screen wise,that big S-LCD is great when watching movies,youtube and browsing.Loudspeeker is a bit on the low side,not as load as the s2 but nothing DSP manager or audiobooster cant sort out,battery,they are smart phones and they will drain so dont expect more than a day then if it last longer youll be surprised but a thew tweaks here and there and there's more juice and for Rom development.....................................its just the beginning.not as big as s2 or HD2 just yet but give it a month or two and development will start flying.thats my review on both

hmm...i'm thinking of fixing the 16GB (8GB user data usable) thing with unlimited 3G and Spotify. if the XL can last for ~18 hours of usage with ~3-4 hours of 3G Spotify streaming then i may go for it. how's the battery life of S II btw?
before it had an unfortunent accident it lasted a good 16 hours but depended what kernel you were using.i think in terms of battery they weigh up equilly.s2 has a 1650mAh battery but is duel core with a 4.3 inch super amoled + screen,XL has a 1600mAh battery but has a 4.7 inch screen however its only single core so cpu uses a little less power but you can get Mudgen 2000mAh battery which in theory should give you more life but as a music fan,i prefer the XL over the s2,my second option wouldve been the XE but for now,im sticking with the XL
On Christmas eve (24th)
switched from SGII to XL mostly because I missed the Sense widgets after copping with the SGII lack of these latter for over 6 months
SGII lacks widgets (the few stock one are just bleh) and the ones from the market do not always have the quality and the settings from the HTC ones.
* Web browsing is a better experience on XL simply because of the bigger screen
* Music sounds better on the XL, + the EQ is simple & effective
* Loudspeaker is louder on SGII but better placed on XL
* Gaming is the same on both devices (both run any big game)
* Build quality is great on both, SGII is so (too) thin that you might wanna use a case (SGP Ultra Capsule) to have the feeling that you hold it safely
*The cold feeling of the aluminum XL back is great
* Power button is better placed on SGII because of the size of the phone, XL ? its just dumb ... but you can use the volume one with RCmix3D rom !
* SGII camera is overall better, XL takes good pictures outdoor but indoor at night just doesn't cut it, although you can use HDR Camera+ to add a certain appeal to them, the settings and filters on XL are a very nice touch, on the video side the XL is honestly horrible compare to the Galaxy...
* Storage is sadly & obviously weak on the XL, when you plug it in mass storage you get 8.88Gb of total storage to put your music, photos, movies & big games data (Gameloft). Depending on how many tracks you intend to keep with you on the go, you should as you said turn to Spotify or Google Music (which i use)
* The appeal of the XL comes from the very complete HTC Software and the near perfect screen size for viewing multimedia content
* The SGII modding scene and accessory market is big but if you are not bored with HTC sense and you dont want to go look for 3rd party apps and widgets add this or that feature, i'd say go for the XL.
so, how do the touchscreens on the XL and GS2 perform?
Hey i suggest the s II my cousin have it and i gotta say the display is great , the camera isn't bad at all , sound quality however on speaker was soso idk about headphones
For the plastic body it feels great IMO its so light and thin and the performance was outstanding all homescreens loaded whit widget , and live wallpapers running no lagg whitout using task killer
Quite dissapointed whit the battery its almost the same as the x10 the mAh is 1650 and you can get a little bit more then the x10 probably more whit custom roms and kernel
Nothing personal against htc just that they make thick,heavy phones and the design is soso :/ but the built quality is great camera does the job and it runs sense which is really cool even tho it takes ****load of ram !

i have and its no different than a sensation. beats audio being the different. screen 4.3 but too narrow so it seems smaller. duo-core 1.5 chipset works a treat and beats audio does what its supposed to.
BUT just love this XL man. screen size is just right for me and i dont see any visual performance improvements between the duo-core or single core chipsets. XL reminds me of the TP2 when it came out just a really refined device. also have a sgs2 which is just so fast and smooth but let down by samsung touchwiz crap. its lightweight and doesnt feel that bad in the hand. choice depends on you, the user TBH. if you want pure speed and power then SGS2 but if you want something a bit more refined with music software to blow your mind then XL. for me sensation or sensation xe are better for dev work

The beats audio hardware acceleration only works when you play music locally from the music player, not with spotify even if you sync the music to play offline unfortunetly

actually IDGAF about Beats...I never use EQ but clean output directly from the device with a 3rd party headphone (in my case, Sennheiser HD-25 1 II)

How would you guys rate the camera in the incredible S? I am finding it OK but no where near as good as my wife's sgs2. What's your thoughts? I had an iPhone 4 before and I'd put it in the same bracket as that.

i'm using htc amaze camera in my IS and its by far the best mobile cam i've used even compared it with sgs2 it beat the **** out sgs2 in stills
For me, I found the quality of IncS camera just average. It's too much noise and doesn't perform good in low light condition. Even my previous Hero (5M) has better quality than it.
I've never had any problems. It think the picture quality is excellent. Some of the still images I have look better than pictures my gf took on her 14mpx camera.

I must try and do a side by side comparison v an SGS2, I've found on the phone screen when look at it pics seem fine, when you download them and display on the computer they have no where near as much detail i've found them a bit artefact. This was a photo I took on a SGS2, I've always loved how much detail it gives.

The image you have provided looks somewhat overexposed. There's also no comparison pic to understand the issues you have brought up.
There's a guide for the dhd here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875230 you might be able to apply some of the settings on the Inc s.
the stock camera is great - but once you get rid of Sense by flashing a AOSP ROM, the camera sucks. I have CM7.1 and the one thing I miss is the Sense camera.
It is RUBBISH!

couldn't have said it better - any other form of camera except the sense one is crap
but having said that, the sense one is excellent imo
PS key2gb - check out Nik SensationXL rom, i value speed and performance of my phone over almost anything else, but his sense rom gives fantastic performance, best ive used by a mile - and i got my camera back lol
It's better than any other camera I've had one a phone.
Consider the following:
It's a phone.
Nice cam in Nik`s 2.5 rom
Buy a dslr cam if u want a good 1..4 what u want to compare incs with s2?? Cam..lol

I hear that the camera in Inc S is the best that HTC put in their phones (maybe Sensation have it even better).
I´ve got before Inc S classic phone without OS Sony Ericsson C905 (from Cyber-Shot family), and in compare, SE takes pictures better (hmmm... I think it takes the best pictures in whole world of mobile phones). But if you have enough lightened scene, then Inc S takes nice pictures.
It´s the matter of view. If I want take a quick picture of something, it is enough. For better pictures I rather take DSLR.
The quality of the camera with the stock ROM is really great. Switching to a custom rom you loose something, but considering the big picture, I wouldn't be back. HTC will probably never update this phone to ICS.

It's fine, but the flash led can not flash with correct situation.
It is no good , but you may try to install the third software of camera , for example :LG camera, 360 camera , it's better
The quality of HTC IS Camera seems quite good for me. But compared to my previous (Sams i8910) phone its certanly worse...
The i8910 had one of the best cameras! It has juicy colors in photos and video! Was checking it with my friend's Nokia N8, my i8910 and HTC IS.
1) Nokia N8
2) Samsung i8910 Omnia HD
3) HTC Incredible S

funny, I was just checking out his thread. I want to wait for CM9 to come out and then I might switch back to Sense. I really like my set up right now and I'm interested to see what CM9 brings to the table.
Hi all,
I've got a problem:
When im taking photos with my rooted incredible s runnning aosp rom (CM7, MIUI all versions, icsbeta) the quality is very bad and the focus is very laggy, there is also alot of overexposure. Theres also alot grain in darker pictures.
When im installing sense based roms (tried 3) then the quality and focus/exposure is good again.
for some pictures you can pm me and you will get them asop, cant post pictures yet.

This is a issue on all aosp roms because they don't have HTC camera drivers. However there is a aosp ics rom called virtuous quattro 4.0.3 that doesn't have camera lag however its not fully working.
God damn it I love this question.
Thats really the biggest weak point of aosp.
The roms are just great!, i like miui alot!
But the downside is the cam,
I've not seen this question somewere else, is it that only the ins suffers the most?
Other cam apps wont bother.
I just want best of both worlds together.
The cam of htc rulezz and interface and possibilities of miui rulezz.
(With MIUI i get 3200quadrant
and 3750 antutu oc stable on 1.5)
All HTC phones run crap camera rez without sense
My CM7 seems decent quality with no lag?
