Camera night configuration - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone give me the best settings for the camera to work during night pictures? Haven't been able to take a single nice picture at night. All dark, blurry and the damm led light doesn't help.

try to reduce or increase the +/- sign, i forgot what it called, and test it out yourself

Thanks, already had tried that but still looks wired. Guess we'll never get good nighttime pictures with a stupid led flash.

Camera Focus Problem

Hi all,
When taking close up photos using my x10, it focuses correctly but then looses focus and takes a blurry photo. Is there any way I can stop it from doing this? I have tried various settings but nothing seems to do the trick.
Thanks in advance

I had this same issue soon after I got my X10 (brand new).
I had installed a lot of task killers (like most new android users!), and some camera apps like Camera360.
My X10 now focuses perfectly, I did:
- Removed task killers
- Removed juice defender
- Turned on touch-to-capture in standard camera app
- Started using Vignette
And somewhere along the line the above fixed it.
Well I use battery boost, and Advanced Task Killer Pro, but I have turned the 'Touch to capture' feature on and it seems to do the trick, just not alot of the time
Thanks anyway

No that didn't help, but thanks anyway
Also I got the vignette app, and it does exactly the same
ya that happened to me too.. you actually have to back out just a little bit and then it's fine.

Night mode in HD Camcorder?

Okay so its raining here in nyc and I like recording rain for some weird reason lol but you can't record at all at night cuz its too dark is there any way to get the night mode we have for pictures in the regular camera over to the camcorder? That would be really cool!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
doesnt the night mode keep the exposure open longer... seems like that would really f'up a video.
perhaps I am giving a camera phone too much credit and its all digital....
I wouldn't mind though only for a small video it should do good or am I wrong?

LED like at the front of the phone

Anyone notice that there is red LED like color at the left side near front facing camera, what is this?
I can notice it in the dark room only....
Ps:- I actually start to notice it after i root my phone, is this glitch?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Its the light sensor and next to that is the proximity sensor.
But i only notice this after i root my phone, can someone reproduce this?
Edit:- something weird happen, after i end all running app using systempanel, the light suddenly gone!!!
Can anybody confirm what is this?

wakelocks

So i downloaded [email protected] battery monitor app. . Googles services had 406 wakelocks ... Is this normal??? My battery is crap on just 4g (even disabling mobile data on occasion). I get from 8am when i take the charger off till about 3pm. (maybe surf web for 10 mi.utes send a few texts, mostly the screen is off). See below... Is g services the culprit? I dont use gps either or anything for location
What app is that?
100% stock. 21 hours unplugged time and 5 hours 4 minutes screen on time. Just because they are "wakelocks" doesn't mean they are keeping your device awake. It means that they are able to. Only 35kb was sent and your device was only kept awake 69 times. That isn't much. I mean damn man, TOTAL awake time according to your screenshot is under 2 minutes lol. That isn't even denting your battery. The culprit is elsewhere.

whats the name of this app?
I have the same app. Android services is at top for me and it says its using the gyroscope and light? Motion settings are off and my on screen time is only at 1h30min. What's up with this because its killing my battery.

Light is referring to the sensor. The ambient light sensor. The gyroscope and such are used for location data and screen orientation. Screen orientation is seperate from motion controls, so check and see if it's still active.

Alright. So I turned off auto brightness and set if at medium. As for the gyroscope, screen rotation is locked and has been. Its clocked in at two hours now which is right on par with on screen time. Is this because i keep GPS on because i thought it was only used when needed. Also in the location settings under Gps there's another setting to use motion sensing indoors that will improve battery life should that be checked because i have that unchecked

Ugh now it won't let upload pics. Anyway i found the apps that use the sensor the most. Words with friends came out on top as well as the gallery. The gallery i understand because when you tilt your phone so does the UI but i don't use it for three hours. Also, since when does Wwf need the gyroscope ? I think I'm going to have to delete Wwf and see how that goes. What do you think about the gallery constantly using the sensor? Glitch?

Go to photo settings..make sure assist light is off?
To add in a little more context: what you see is the focus assist light. This actually turns on before the photo is taken to get focussing information for the camera. There is no flash in the actual image being taken. But as the previous poster already answered you can turn that off as well (although I guess you will have to deal with more out-of-focus pictures then).
The light before the shot is taken is the focus assist light, to illuminate the focus object so your picture is focused.
Its not the flash. Is that what you mean?
Thanks to all u guys all these answers helped me appreciate it

Try going outside during the day and taking a picture. The focus assist light should stay off.
