I have other higher end android phones and just got a cute mini pro. It performs much better than i expected. I have no problem in using it despite its small size! It is really a gem among the other giant android phones! glad i got it!
well,buddy,
I think using XMP would let you become a happy user indeed.

hello!
yeah i agree.
only 1 think its missing. hdmi output
but other than that im really happy with my mini pro
Love my xmp.... surfing on it is great but my battery drains easily anytime i switch tha data on!
Yes this is a nice phone except one thing.
after press the power button and display off then data network is disconnect.
and press the power button display on then restart connect the data network.
when i'm not using the phone i can't use skype,viper,this kind of apps .
because data network is disconnect.
You have to go to wifi settings and in there press the menu button, go to advance options. In there, there has to be an option to chose the way wifi behaves once the screen is turn off.

for me the camera is fine! really loves this phone. It runs fast and easy to navigate! i will consider if there will be an upgrade model.
It's not the best camera but if you know it's limitations you could work around them. Don't take photos in automatic, it's always better that you choose a scene and the type of focus. Don't use image stabilization if you are in night mode, even though one would think that this is the best scenario to use it, because what it does is doble the ISO so you have two times faster shutter speed but since in night/night portrait it uses a very low shutter speed, the amount it increases is not sufficient to be able to take a handheld photo and because of the high iso the photos have a lot of noise. I use Vignette in night mode to take photos with poor light, if i'm able to put my phone in a stable surface, because this mode uses a slower shutter speed and lower iso than night portrait mode of the stock camera. It uses 1/4 shutter speed and 125 of iso. In normal conditions there's not much you could do. Maybe if there is too much light change the mode to sports so it increases the shutter speed.

Well it depends on expecations.
I knew that the mini's camera suck even before buying it. Watched lots of video samples and photos taken with the xperia mini pro, and thought "well, it's total crap but it's still better than the x10 mini so what the hell!"
And just got one. I did a few tests myself, and the results are exactly the same as the samples I saw on internet.
But still, when you look at the overwhole features, the xperia mini is a much better phone than it's competitors, specially at this price range.

Looks like HTC improved some things with the camera but my major complaint is still there. Even with every possible enhancement and option (including image review) turned off, there is still a 0.5 to 1.0 second lag when taking a picture in bright lighting even after everything is already focused with a half press of the shutter. I think it is improved a little, but still a far cry from what it should be. C'mon HTC: if a weak iPhone can take a picture instantly, surely you can do better than this!
Mike
I don't seem to have this shutter lag. The phone snaps the picture pretty instantly after I press the button.
Yeah, I'd say do a full wipe & reflash. 0 shutter lag here. I can't even get the image to speed blur while in motion.
This is with the latest 2.3.4 update.

Are you using the dedicated camera/shutter button? Autofocus is the only thing "auto" that I have enabled. Are you rooted with revolutionary?

For my fastest shots, I use the onscreen button, the camera button has a delay. Auto focus is off.
Yes, rooted with Revolutionary & using Haus' Stock Deodexed 2.08.651.2.
Just updated my wife's phone via the OTA. Hers has never been rooted and will likely never be rooted so I just took the OTA. Her's is exactly like mine. There's at least a half second delay on every shot. I've tried the dedicated camera button and the on screen button. Regardless of the settings or the button pressed, the camera doesn't take the picture until about a half second after you press the button.
Edit: I've never seen one of these phones not have horrendous shutter lag so if you think you have close to no lag, could you please post a short video showing this? I simply can't believe it until I see it.
Mike
I don't have another camera sorry. Sold it back when I had my EVO 4G.
I'm surprised you have this problem.
Try turning up the Exposure & ISO to 800 as well. This also speeds up the shutter on cameras. Will it be instant, I'm not sure but it'll definitely be faster.
Let me know if that works.

Nothing changes it. Already tried ISO 800, shooting in direct sunlight, and every other trick I could think of. Minimum shutter lag is about a half second. Only thing I can figure is that some people call a half second "instant". It's far from it. Went to the Rays game tonight. Indoor lighting was bright as daylight: no flash needed. All pics were good at least and not blurry due to the fast shutter. But between my rooted Evo 3D and my wife's totally stock one, we missed almost every shot even when taking casual shots. And when you hand someone the camera to take a group shot, they press the shutter halfway to focus and then press the button the rest of the way and it NEVER works. Everyone always starts putting the camera down and the actual picture is taken after their hands are dropping because they've already pressed the button and nothing happened until a half second later. Again, this is with all auto stuff turned off, flash off, auto focus off, etc. Unless you are taking a picture of a rock or something else that isn't ever going to move, this camera is totally useless.
Mike
Have you tried wiping the SD card? Or used something other than the stock one?

No wipey wipey, but... my wife and I both use a SanDisk 32MB and my friend and his wife use the stock SD card. No difference. Half second delay on every shot, occasionally longer. I wouldn't think the SD card or it's speed would come into play for actually taking the shot: only afterward in storing it.
Mike
The camera on my galaxy note seems is very slow at taking pictures especially when I use flash. the problem is that after the flash goes off it takes couple of second for the shutter to take place and for the picture to save. I tried saving the pics on the phone or the sd card but it makes no difference. I also tried to disable the power setting and even reset the camera settings but no luck. I never had this issue on my old infuse. Any suggestions?
I also find the camera to be freakishly slow.

I haven't tried to turn off google + yet but it seems to me like the problem has to do with the flash because it takes pictures faster without the flash. I was just panicking that I had a defective phone since my google searches haven't turned up any results about the camera being slow for other users.
I am very surprised that the camera has this issue at all since my old infuse did not have that problem. Also my phone lags sometimes after i unlock the screen which is a problem that other people seem to have.

I agree. I also turned off blink detection and the Google+ auto upload and it seemed to speed it up a bit. I am thinking the camera lag seems more evident on this phone because of the visual effect of the shutter. On other phones the frame just freezes then it saves without a shutter effect. I wish there was a way to turn that off

I got ICS Camera+ also, but one thing was a back-breaker for me: video is taken as 3gp? WTeff is with that?
i think the issue is the shutter "effect" as someone mentioned. if you take a picture, as soon as the image freezes on screen, that's the shot that was taken. try it... i put a cup in front of me and click the button, and before the camera did the shutter closing effect, i moved the cup. the picture that was taken was at the right time. it just sucks if you are trying to get a couple of shots together... waiting for that silly animation...
also Camera ICS works on the stock ROM, but doesnt let you touch a point on the screen to focus... which is really nice about the stock camera app, if you ask me.
I use Fast Burst camera app. Takes a picture in a split second. No waiting.

Hello, samsung disabled some options in camera in most of the shooting mode or scenes,I searched pretty much everywhere and I couldn`t find some useful information.Is really annoying that they did.For example,in a low light situation if I use the flash, 2-3 m in front of the camera will look very good but everything else will look bad, if I use the low light shooting mode, everything will look good but if I would use low light shooting mode + flash, 2-3 m in front of the camera will look very good and everywhere else will look good(perfect).Also the burst mode is pretty usefulness in good light situations as you would have to be drunk to take a blured picture but with the low light shooting mode where is very likely to get a shaky picture would be great to take at least 2-3 photos fast(even if not so fast as in normal mode) so you could be sure that you have at least 1 good picture.The examples can go on and I don`t think that I`m asking for something impossible.Did someone modded the camera app as stated above or is there any possibilty in the near future to see some of those useful options?Thank you in advance.
so not a single chance to accomplish what I want?
nobody can understand what you mean.
Wall of text is horrible
somebody on XDA posted a guide on enabling the option to switch the camera shutter sound on/off by editing the feature.xml file under /system/app/
may be you need to try something similar
but be very careful when you edit such files.

I mean that if you choose from shooting mode the "low light" or HDR or a lof of options, flash is AUTOMATICALLY disabled or you can't use the burst shoot with low light option enabled or HDR, that`s what I`m talking about.Is it possible to trick the camera software to be able to use all the options along?
You need to search and read the various camera mods and decide .

There is a reason why these options can't be used with each other.
1. low light mode is supposed to take into account that there is very little light. If you turn the flash on with low light mode then you're essentially not using low light mode anymore because flash provides loads of light.
2. HDR mode takes 2 shots (3 on some devices) with different exposures and then combines the 2. If flash is involved the 2 shots will pretty much look the same and will therefore mean HDR is useless.
3. Burst shoot takes loads of photos simultaneously and if flash is enabled the first shot will usually be taken with flash. The device simply cannot handle the flash being used up to 20 times one after another.
If there is software out there to "trick" the camera into being able to do what you describe, it won't make a positive difference to your photos. It's general photography and the way cameras and their features work that make what you want to happen, a bad idea!

that part is not true. You can use Torch in strobe mode, which flashes the flash (sounds stupid, sorry) at like 50Hz

1 if you've ever played with light settings on a dslr, you'd know cranking up ISO, low shutter speed, exposure, etc will give you such a high exposure you can't even make the picture out.. all you see is a white light.. I feel this is what would happen.. its like shining a flashlight on something during night vision, all you see is a huge white spot.. does that make sense?
its not a software limitation its just the way modern lens work.
2 agreed
3 the flash can stobe 20 or so times a second, any 'flashlight' app will show you this.. you could also leave the flash simply on..
the best workaround ffor this is use 1080p video mode with flash, it takes 30 frames (shots) a second, and while watching the video there's a camera button on screen in the stock video player. best workaround.
and yea mods will come

Yeah I agree I guess what I was trying to say is it would render low light mode useless. It would be one of those options that produces shockingly bad photos.
I forgot about the strobe, although I can't imagine this being a feature. I forgot that these "flashes" are just LEDs and not the traditional flash you get with an SLR.
The 1080p video mode is a great workaround suggestion. I hope saddameu can get something from this information.
@Glebun stop picking on me

I hope English is not your first language
That being said you are probably asking for slow-sync flash - as far as I know the S3 does not have that feature yet.
you have some good points but you took the worst combinations ever.
How can you say that is not good to take a pictures with low light enabled + flash?We are not talking about a dslr flash.If you take a picture of someone being 3-4 m away in low light conditions with flash ON it would be a better picture than taking it only with low light mode or only with flash,think about it, it will just make the person look better as the flash is not that strong to make the subject look too bright.
That is one good combination, another one could be using the burst shot with low light enabled to be sure that you take at least 1 good picture as you have to be very steady even if the burst shot would be slower in low light mode than a normal picture.I could probably take only 1 good picture in low light mode knowing the phone but if you give the phone to a friend,for example, the picture will look like it was taken from a drunk men.
Could you provide me some links with some good camera mods as I only found only hyperx`s mod.
And no, english is not my native language , I learned it pretty much by myself as in school I learned english for only 2 years but the first post was made being in rush.

Hey guys i found this bug on HTC One X , not sure will it work for HoX + , anyway it should , same camera sensor etc. Give it a try
Hey guys this is HTC One X GREAT camera BUG i found recently.

Ok so anyway i found this bug when i was compering S3 vs HoX in deep , for those who missed it you can find it here
HTC One X vs S3 full comparison
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As for the bug with camera :
1st how does this bug works:
Simply , it gets stuck between scenes which i found accidentally while comparing HoX Vs My cousins s3 lol.
Anyway to be more specific it uses 2 scenes at the same time which provides great photos @ night , probably best 2012 phone @ day and Night INDEED is HOX. and i'll dare to say it comes close to HTC One with this Bug.
Important: this bug works ONLY with SENSE ( maybe miue roms as well ) and i found this bug on 3.18 base ( also working with 3.19 base ) for those still on ICS idk would it work there or at lower bases probably does.
How to use this BUG/GLITCH:
Outdoors night photos
> Open camera
> Turn off flash
> Chose NIGHT scene
> Chose HDR mode
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
> Take a photo
This bug will add you an extra 100-300% more light to your photos. For even MORE light i'd say 50/100% more light do this:
After taking the photo , go to gallery>edit and AUTO ENCHANT it.
NOTE:
After this if you see boost in your display regarding brightness = bug is applied. Take a pic but be VERY VERY STEADY , even little movement will f[email protected] up the photo.
NOTE:
If you don't see improvement from the start you gotta REPEAT the process , sometimes it takes more then 1 time to get this bug working.
Also you must notice this: When you apply NIGHT scene you should see CAMERA being LAGGY when moving , after switching to HDR if it stays laggy and gives more light = bug is working 100%
For indoor photos with bug
> Turn ON flash ( not auto but ON )
> Chose NIGHT scene
> Chose HDR mode [/QUOTE]
> Take a photo
NOTE:
If you're using Underclocked CPU i'd suggest you use minimum 1300mhz quad core, with less speed shutter isn't fast enough to catch the light with HDR
BUG with FLASH - 50%-150% more light then normal flash light photos:
Ok this bug works similar as first one.
> Open camera
> Turn ON flash
> Chose NIGHT scene
> Switch to BACKLIGHT scene [/QUOTE]
> Take a photo
Note:
When you switch to NIGHT mode you should see your camera being LAGGY , after switching to BACKLIGHT scene if your camera stays laggy = bug is working.
TIPS:
1. Try to be still when taking photos especially with HDR BUG.
2. For more light use after taking the picture gallery effects - auto enchance , with picassa / instagram you can modify them even more to be even better.

IMPORTANT
Q) Will this bug crash/kill my camera ?
A) I don't know , i've been using it for over 2 weeks now everything is working as it should.
If you guys gonna use this BUG would be nice if you could upload some samples as well :thumbup:
So NOTE if you gonna use this bug you use it at your OWN RISK so don't blame me if you [email protected] up your camera.

HTC One X: Hidden Low Light Abilities (Firmware 3.19.401.1)
Did you guys know the One X has night vision abilities? check this out
Ordinarily the Flash can be used but it casts the photo in blue plus add abnormal shadows, at least you can counter the blue by setting the white balance to Fluorescent before taking the photo
The included Night scene is not as effective, it forbids the Flash, it locks to ISO 1250 and cuts the shutter speed in half for more exposure time, sadly the results are often bad and not useful
But then for very low light and still photos, there is a revelation that is the HDR mode, especially when combined with auto flash it can do wonders, auto flash will smartly use two quick flash bursts to get better exposures for HDR, surprisingly auto flash with HDR does not cast shadows neither does it tint the screen
Finally a bug discovered by Shan89, switch to Night mode and then immediatly back to HDR mode, the shutter will get stuck in slow mode collecting even more light, you can also combine auto flash for killer results!
The bug mode is highlighted below with an *
keep in mind the shutter will be very slow at this point and you need to be very still until the word "processing" appears on screen (to counter motion blur),
Equally the resulting photo will fail to record the correct shutter speed since it's a bug after all
Some of the following results were brighter than my own eyes

As I've said a long time ago, it doesn't work on the HOX+, it becomes darker when switching from night to hdr, so the bug doesn't work. Pictures taken with night mode is brighter than the hdr switched from night mode. Maybe someone else can try it
Edit: wait, I think I got it working
Edit 2: dang it, only worked once and not anymore... Tried like 10 times and can't make it work. It's so much easier on the HOX

Damn , well key point is to do this when is night , the best scenario for this bug is when is twilight and a bit more darker , then chose night scene and switch to HDR , it should apply after 1-2 trys , we on hox get it working almost every single time, you might wanna try reducing CPU max speed , if you use 1700 lower it to 1300/1500 , it might work better since CPU will be slower and give you more time to apply the bug, also on hox once you apply the bug it'll stay that way untill you take a picture or untill you move on bright area.

I did the testing in midnight, outdoors with a few streetlights. I used the power saver to reduce cpu to 1300mhz. My HOX+ is fully stock so I can't do much to it. I think the chance of getting it to work is like 30%....

Works every time for me. I'm just not sure I like the photos though

Please note this is my first thread and not dwelling deep in to the techs of the phone.
Amazon kindly delivered my Xperia 10 Plus this morning and like a little child at Xmas, couldn't wait to unpack and power on.
Now my current status is I have been running on Xperia XZ Premium for last 18 months and decided to see what the deal is with the larger screen X10 plus.
First glance, it's tall, big a just a tad slimmer, suppose that'll be for the one hand use.
Installation of micro sd card and memory card a breeze and since I opted for the dual sim, the sim tray can handle 2 sims easily.
Pros
OS seems to be quicker but the boot up time isn't
Camera capture has improved compared to XZP and will need to check this tomorrow on daylight
The little widgets like side sense is a good way to use phone on handed
handset in one hand feels comfortable and very light but still purchased a case for the phone for the additional protection
Cons
Took a while to remove the google search bar on home screen as OS 9 seems to do this differently when it comes to removing (had to Google it)
Charging time does take a little longer in my experience but this could be down to battery care and stamina
You can't customise what screen is your home screen so if you have 3 screens, 1st screen is your home screen, This is issue for me since I like my icons/apps setup in a way makes to easier for me. Could possibly not be setting the home screen correctly
Had a strange issue with restore from my Google account and it placed two icons for each app downloaded so ended up factory reset and seems to resolve the issue
All in all, still early days as not much time to fiddle with the phone as I required to setup again and juggle the icons on home screen as sadly this didn't do on backup from old phone.
I'll add more comments when I have managed to play with the phone more.
Thanks.
Well, been a few days using the phone and so far had the following as issues or switched off.
1. Camera seems to crash twice on use where app opens but buttons doesn't respond until you have the crash notification. Albeit camera quality is very good compared to XZP.
2. Switched off the Swipe up on home button as it seemed to get messed up with me wanting to access all apps from swiping up from the bottom of phone.
3. As someone else mentioned before, games touch screen buttons not optimised as some games buttons are low right side and makes it very awkward to use when playing.
4. Couple of times you press an icon on app and doesn't seem to launch or takes a while to do anything. One app i remember is launching the messenger app for FB from the FB app. Did sod all and restarted handset to fix it.
I would take some quality pics but where I live is a bit trashy so nothing good atm and will wait for weather to improve.
Just hope others who have the same phone report on same issues for Sony to fix
anyone know how to get the "recent apps" button to show up on the nav bar? I dont see one anywhere, or, how to enable it

I think you need to open the Xperia Launcher settings. Just hold down your finger on one of the homescreens. The 2nd or 3rd option should give you the old navbar back
thanks, but there is no mention of navbar anywhere in the Xperia Launcher settings..:crying:

My bad it's in the display settings under advanced. "Swipe up on home button". Don't have my phone right now, had to send it in so i couldn't say for sure. Thought it was hidden quite well :/
perfect, thanks!
How's low light recording and pics ?
Does it support Camera2 API RAW capture?

I have no issues with my Sony Xperia 10 Plus after 4 months so far. It's fast and smooth in my use. I can take great pictures and videos. 21:9 experience is great and amazing!
How is battery life and sot?
I'm seriously considering this phone as an upgrade. I'm in Asia so models here come with 6gb of ram. I'm currently on the z5 premium. Would you say there is any improvement in performance between the xz premium and the 10 plus?

Performance on XZ premium is better compared with Xperia 10 plus. Xperia 10 plus is sluggish en general use. I think there is a problem with the launcher optimization. The only way that i founded to acelerate the smartphone is to deactivating "Animations". After that, the Xperia 10 plus beahvior, results in a great performance, smooth. If you install a 3rd party launcher, the sluggish problem appears again. This phone definitively needs software optimization from Sony. I waiting android 10 fix this situation. I want to highlight that the sound quality from bluetooth is amazing, i thinl is better that xz premium, XZ2. I dont know if Sony increase the audio quality in this model.
I bought this phone yesterday from best buy and to me what a pile of junk, the screen just above the power button actually is separating from the plastic frame, I hear faint pop like sound and I start pressing on the edge of the screen I heard the sound again, on further inspection looks like the adhesive tape they must use to attach the screen to the frame is letting loose from the main frame, this thing is slow and very sluggish. I would advise people not to buy this phone, for the price..... you can buy a older flagship phone or even a oneplus 6t or 6 for less used and runs circles around this sony phone.
