Hi guys!
Before I continue, I first wanna say Im not making this thread for anyone to start any sort of fighting. This is being created based on my experience as a photographer for 10+ yrs. Ive done professional shoots and I have also had photos posted in magazines. So I can assure you I am a credible source
Ive offered lots of photography advice over the years on this site for many different phones. The latest advice im gonna offer is here and now. With the Nokia Lumia 920.
Want the sharpest and best photos you can get? I think 100% of you will say yes. And guess what, Nokia Pro Cam is NOT the answer! Sure its a great app of course, but very recently something else has blown it away. Its an app from the Microsoft store called "One Shot". It does cost $1.99 but its worth every penny and more.
It has every single function the Pro Cam app has and more. Including being able to adjust sharpness, contrast, brightness (which you cant do in Pro Cam)
It also has manual focus like pro cam. Everything is live effect when you change them. It also has a bunch of filters that are beautifully done. Ive done many many comparisons with this app vs pro cam and there isn't one time pro cam was better. Even ISO3200 shots with "One Shot" are sharp and clear, much nicer looking than pro cams final result. I usually start with my sharpness on 2-3 as my base point just for a fyi. Its unbelievable! You get to set a favorite button in the app to be used as something you desire. I would suggest using it a manual shutter release.
Im not gonna post a million comparison photos, but I did post one photo for you all to see. Both photos were shot at ISO 100, and my phone was mounted so don't worry about shutter speed being low (if it even was)
I posted individual photos of each app and I also posted them side by side in Lightroom 4 compare module so you can see the difference at 100%.
This is my advice to you, whether you choose to listen or not is totally up to you guys. Im not gonna argue about anything. Im simply offering you guys/gals the best of the best.
Good luck and keep shooting!

check guide in pro cam app to learn about setting this but in basics i agree with you... for most people basic camera tool is much than need... Pro Cam is good next step. for next level of quality needs more practice and customization and this most of users not like..

Can you seperate touch metering & focus on this phone?
I just got one ordered, great deal £200 brand new in box.
Also any good HDR apps ?

Right then, who else has noticed this? I'm presuming its an issue with the sync?
My contacts are stored with Googlemail and are set to sync, which is good as it saves me manually doing it and I usually change business contacts details so its nice that it updates on its own.
I link the contacts to facebook, pictures come over, look perfect (well, alright).
Later on, the pictures look awful and I'm presuming its because they are sent to Google and then sent back to the phone in a lower quality.
There were similar issues with the Touch HD syncing with Outlook and nobody found a way around it, anyone got any suggestions?
Nobody else noticing that their contacts pictures are really poor quality? Is it just me having this issue?

No you are not alone.
Not alone
You are not alone, I presume that there is some kind of loss in the sync to make it work faster, I havnt seen any setting to make it lossless.
When I saved a picture from facebook and added it manually the was no loss in quality.
So until there is some kind of app out I guess you will just have to manually add the pictures if you cant live with the quality.
I sync with Outlook and its the same.
I do remember when i had a HTC Touch Diamond that was the same. The way you cured the problem was to take a photo with your phone to use as a contact picture and then it was full quality. To be honest not tried it with the Hero yet maybe a task for today for me..
Same problem here.
Hope they solve it in a future update.
Its the same with me, on my Diamond I created small high quality pics for my contacts & even with these the quality is crap.
On a side note is anybody else thinking that XDA Developers isn't the place for us & our hero handsets? I'm feeling a little bit unloved

haha, ok...
Root gives you access to all of your phone and should allow you to flash new roms onto your phone.
HardSPL is used on phones and if you have hardspl, again, you can flash new roms.
TP2 is the Touch Pro 2, just another phone.
Basically I was trying to say the phone is new out, and usually when they are it takes a while for people to come over to them, but they do eventually. When more and more people come on board, there will be a lot more support.

You know what I think I need to make a retaction & clarify how I feel about the XDA Developers site & the hero. Both the comments of nicelad_uk & liamhere are totally spot on & it was silly of me to expect the amount of expert knowledge on the hero that I enjoyed with my previous winmo devices.
I realise now that this could be my time to shine & put something back into this community instead of just taking like I was accustomed to before. Now obviously its been established that my knowledge is a bit lax on the software but where I can help I will & hopefully the increase traffic & hel will bring more people to this part of the forum.

Haha, trust me, if you asked my girlfriend, she would say the opposite!
I started putting back into the community with my Touch Pro 2, recreating a theme which I loved on my Diamond but wasn't available, it was a good feeling.
Now I'm making apps for Android, nothing big, just getting used to it and trying different things.
And no problem with the help, we all try to help and its good to see a mod using these devices too, other people will follow shortly, when they see the light
Contacts Image quality
I have the same bad images quality in contact also. Even when i had my Touch HD. I sync with Outlook and even set the contact photo from the phone but when a call comes in or is made to the contact its all blurry. Any ideas?

That warms my cockles, does that! I feel just the same so I'm trying to help where I can (Not totally altruistic, just its summer break and I have time on my hands)
On the point of poor quality pics in the call window, I think what is happening is that the fone is grabbing the little Thumbnail created for the contacts, not the original pic. The thumbnail then looks like Sh** in the big call window.
Not a solution but could be a reason.

This issue is usually to do with the Sync, its been a common problem with Syncing with Outlook and google from Windows Mobile Devices. I posted a comment about poor picture quality on Google's forums and one of their development team said they would look into it, that was nearly 3 months ago though.
Can't think of anyway round it! Very annoying though. Auto Sync off for me I think.
I think everyone should go to the google forums and reply to this thread...
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6b0562c425cc1f5d&hl=en
Make them aware we are noticing these issues!
hey mates, i think so to,when the people gets their hands on this wunderfull device, the development will be started ... mine arrives in 3 days ... cant wait for it ....
Anyone found a fix for this problem???
Done anyone know of any suitable way to capture video of running app on android device?
I've tried several
Capture apps (none reliable though, one said it was taking view, but did not store it, another was unable to start the service). BTW on a rooted dev.
Moto webtop (this really sucks @ 5fps)!!
Thinking about getting a phone grip, putting pu camcorder on stand over my shoulder and do the job. But what about screen glare from the phone? Anyone had any experience with these? Suggestions would be helpful if you've done that before.

Yep screencast. Brilliant app that can capture in high definition with sound and can add a pointer on screen so video viewers can see where your finger touched if you want them to.
Also the dev is regularly updating to add new features etcetera.

First app
I have developed a simple app to fire your camera shutter for most brands
Canon ,Nikon ,Sony ,Pentax.
to choose between cameras just slide right or left.
Google Play link

This app price is 1.50$
Original remote over 25$.
second app
This app is used to shoot TimeLapse Videos and it also support Canon ,Nikon ,Sony and Pentax.
its easy to use.

app price 2.50$
Canon T3-
Bought both apps a few weeks ago and just getting around to trying them out. Not sure how this is supposed to work. It's rather straight forward; takes you straight to the remote, but when I hit both the xD and xxxD buttons in the app nothing happens on the camera. Do I need the camera in a specific mode? Trying in full auto.

yes set the drive mode to 2sec/remote this will activate the Infrared receiver in the camera.

I'm not saying list every compatible camera. I'm saying maybe specify "infared remote capability". That should sum it up don't ya think? Again- my fault; I shoulda realized I didn't have remote capability beforehand.
And no, I really don't want the money back. I like that you're developing for DSLR's and I don't miss the few dollars. :good: Just gives me one extra reason to buy the T4i I've been thinking about.
Awesome man. I just purchased and it's working quite well on my SONY a77.

the T4i or 650D is great choice and dont believe that there is DSLR for beginners or advanced and I myself have two categories DSLR for rich people and DSLR for regular people.

I bought the canon 7d a year ago and I really regret because my intentions is for video more then photography what I mean is I am missing the awesome flexible screen on the xxxD series and the 60D.

I did find one thing, which I'm sure will be fixed in later release. The thing is that the app seems to be still active and running once you closed the app using the return button. Other than it works without any issues.

the story about this some user contacted me and told me that he had a problem and it was whenever the app starts it shows the canon remote and he had to slide twice until he reaches the sony remote and complaining about the loading time when the app starts.
so what I did is whenever you start the app for the first time the app will recognise your choice for ever and the startup screen will not show except for the first time or the cache cleared by restart the phone or clear it manually.
so dont worry the app is not running ,even if its running it will consume any power.
I did that so I dont want to confuse the use by adding settings and this the beauty about this app just choose your camera brand and it will remmeber it for ever.
Hey OP, I don't mean to thread cap but just curious.
What are the advantages to your application for $2.5 over the popular free DSLR Remote app?

Good morning everyone!
Was hoping to get some insight / help regarding an issue I've encountered and wondered if any of you have encountered the same.
I use certain Barcode scanner apps for saving money like Shop Savvy. Only when using the One May's camera I get a blurry, out of focus view from using it via the phone. I've never had this problem with other phones.
I thought my camera was defective but I tested on the store demo at Verizon and it had the same issue.
Putting this out there to request your help. I've tried using the different settings on the apps as well as the camera, no luck.
Thank you!
I suggest a replacement
My suggestion is for you to go back to Verizon and get a replacement phone. All during the Christmas shopping, I used my HTC One Max and the Google Goggles app to research prices from barcodes and it worked without a hitch, even on some barcodes which were smeared on the packages. Based on my very good experience, you seem to have a faulty lens. It's a hassle replacing a phone, but sometimes it's necessary.

Hi,
Thank you for mentioning Google Goggles. That APP works GREAT!!! However, I do not think that I have a faulty lens. The pics from everything else comes out great. I also downloaded the Google Goggles app and that app has no problems whatsoever.
Would you mind downloading and using the Shop Savvy APP? Perhaps it's something to do w/ that app as my phone nor the demo at Verizon worked w/ Shop Savvy.
Thank you!
Shop Savvy
I will download Shop Savvy and try it tomorrow.

If the camera works across multiple other apps then it is not the camera or htcs fault. The devs of the apps you are trying to use need to adjust their app to work properly with the ultrapixel. They are probably making some assumptions in their code about resolution vs pixel density or something along those lines.

i believe that is not the case, if so each and every app developers needs to optimize for hundred's of cameras which is totally inefficient.
Even if that is the case, there are other hundred cameras which don't have ois and they work fine with the app(s), which obviously show the mobile is at fault.

You are proving my point for me. If many of the camera apps work with the One Max (including other barcode scanner ones) then obviously those developers developed their apps more openly to work with more camera hardware. They likely didnt hard code in certain restrictions and/or assumptions.
None of this matters to me particularly because I wont use barcode apps but I do prefer correct information be provided instaed of people just blaming the manufacturer.
Shop Savvy didn't work
I downloaded and installed Shop Savvy. I tested it on several barcodes and had the same results as described by the original poster. It simply doesn't read them. I was actually in a store with my wife picking up some post-Christmas bargains and was glad I had the Google Goggles, which as I posted earlier works perfectly. It was quite satisfying to find that some of the in store sales had some rather drastic price reductions from what was available online. That's rare.

I am guessing you have a little misunderstanding, its not many of the camera apps, its ALL of the barcode apps on all the HTC One MAX phones which are failing.
It matters a lot for us more than you as we are unable to use this on our phones and we need a way to get this fixed in the future. I can buy your assumptions and probabilities provided you have enough documentation from the manufacturer on the camera API that we are talking about, without that i am afraid that the information cannot be agreed on.
To make things little more clear, i made this experiment on my phone using HTC's camera app. When trying to take a pic of a barcode image, the camera is finding is difficult to auto-focus to arrive at a sharp image at the barcode area of the object, while the same camera at the same distance is able to focus on the same objects area which has text only. Leaves me no other option to say HTC has not optimized it.
I wish you had put yourself into our shoes to learn the issue clearly before commenting on it.

Did you try Google Goggles (which I mentioned in my previous posts)? It auto focuses perfectly on the barcode as well as reading accompanying text. Looks up the upc code automatically with no user action (like clicking) required. Search results for the product being examined are shown instantly.

Yes I did, for me Google Goggles also has only partial success, but better better than the other apps. If the stock camera app is able to focus (with user interaction) then Google Goggles does succeed, not otherwise.

Two of the few posters in this thread can use the Google Goggles app to scan barcodes without problem. So apparantly the One Max camera can scan barcodes. It can.

I know you have your own rom that you cooked yourself which I'm sure you are running on your phone. Have you tried going back stock unrooted bootloader locked s-on and tried the barcode apps? Maybe there is an issue with being unlocked or your rom.
I know you also have a thread about changing out the stock camera for a One ois one. Likely you have messed with many camera settings that may or may not affect your camera results.
Oh... and I know 'real' developers are dropping from the One Max forum like flies...

But it really does work...

well, looking at your results makes me wonder if we the affected users have a faulty camera module, after all the initial HTC's ultrapixel camera modules had QC issues during manufacturing like any other hardware. Gives me one more need to change my camera module which i already wanted to experiment on.

Hello --
I am the OP that started this thread. If some of us DO have a faulty camera module, why does the camera appear to work well for photos / video etc? In my case, the camera CAN pick up barcodes but only via the Google Goggles APP. I does not work on Shop Savvy or other related APPS as I get Mr. blurry cam and extreme trouble focusing enough so that it would capture the barcode.
Is there another way we can test to see if some of us have the faulty camera module? My phone is stock. No, changes to anything.
Thank you all for your input.
Hello
I got my Honor 9 a few days ago and I'm really disappointed. The photos from the normal photo mode are useless, no matter the lighting conditions, the shadows are totally black, the sharpness is insane and generally the dynamic range is terrible. HDR doesn't help either. Could it be a software problem somehow or is my camera defect? I already did a factory reset, it didn't help.
Does anybody else have the same problem? I have read about people complaining about the opposite, that their photos are dull and lifeless, mine are punched to the extreme. All the settings are the default by the way.
What is weird is that in the monochrome mode there is amazing detail in the shadows, the dynamic range is incredible and also in the Pro Mode, only if i shoot raw and edit them.
I would really appreciate some feedback.
Thank you!
Examples?
