Any user experience appreciated. Thanks.

1: yes some of the third party camera apps help a lot, I have "a better camera" and FV-5
2: there was someone that mentioned that they were thinking of getting the flash, don't know if they did or not?

I almost got one, but I thought right away that USD 64 (49+15 s&h) are waaaaaay too much for that piece of plastic.

[Q] HTC Camera Application on Xperia S

Hi Team,
Sorry if posted I could not find it hence posting the same. i was going through the HTC One X Camera video and was amazed to see the camera application where it can take 4 fps photos and also click photos when a video is being recorded. Just wanted to know if this is achievable in the Xperia S.
If not, is there any other application which can help me to do the same. Also the feature where it can take screenshots from a video which is playing on the phone.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Will be in ICS, it's actually a Google feature.

Thanks K900,
Guess will have to wait for ICS.... was surprised to see the demonstrator stating that it is only available on the HTC One X.
HTC have put there own dedicated chip called imagesense which will be all the one series phones but only those. Any feature of that application which specifically uses that chip will be very hard to port over to any other device.
I had an aosp build of ics on my galaxy s and it had neither of those features in the default camera app
Try fast burst camera from market can take 30 pics

The response time on the XPS is nice so it allows for some nice high speed photography. ICS camera lets you shoot photos by taping on the video preview.

Thx GM007 will surely try the fast burst camera...
yes K900 i really love the camera on XPS it is amazing...
Also thanks to keithwalton for the info.
Maybe this "snap during video rec" is a quad core device characteristic...
Who knows...

Try taking pictures with the other camera apps or try the Cybershot Mod which you'll find in 'Themes and Apps' section.. If the problem still persists then it has to something with the lens!
It can focus but it loses focus after a while

[q] xperia s camera

Xperia S Camera Quality is not good....its 12 MP cam can't compete with 8 MP Cam of S3......anyway to enhance the camera experience ?
Can we use S3 Stock Camera apk in Xperia S ?
Learn to use the settings and you get some of the best pictures from a mobile phone.
Try some different settings/apps and you will see how much you can improve your pictures compared to auto mode.

The night shots aren't good because of the high compression on Sony software and camera app. Try uCam or Camera 360

[Q]Xperia U camera settings

Hi, I'm really excited about this phone since i don't like big screens etc. But one thing really annoys me. I'm talking about photo quality. I'm using camera zoom fx with 2mp photo size but still the photos are blurry. Can anyone tell me best app and settings for sharp photos? Tnx
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
3rd party apps or stock camera app nothing can do. they can only do some effects or crop etc. you must root and do some build.prop hacks.
but this way can't do high improve. its all about hardware.
Anyone have same problem? I don't know if it's this problem worth sending to service. But the photos are really disgusting...my old zte blade make ten times better photos. This Sony crap photos are full of noise and without sharp edges, everything is blurry...

Yes. I tried a lot of things today and problem is in the focus. Before the photo shoot, everything is nice and clean (outdoors) but when i hit the shoot button, i can see how the focus die a little a camera take less sharp image. Indoors is even worse

When using full res (5mp) the photo is comparable to old Nokia pictures...

2Mpx photos looks better than 5Mpx - this is old known thing in XperiaU. 2Mpx photos are sharper. Anyway quality of camera used in Xperia U is really bad. We can't do anything with that. And many times users have problem with big pink spot at the center of picture. Camera is really bad here
Yea noticed that odd thing with 2mp better photos too. At least i don't have that pink spot. I still have hope in ics update that it'll straight it up a little, but as i read it didn't help or its even worse.

I admit that the camera is poor, even compared to my girlfriends HTC one V which has a 5mp camera, the U looks about half as good. But when I set my U at 2mp the picture is far worse than at 5mp.
I assume its a hardware issue and my software setup will have no effect but I am rooted with locked bl and st25a ics firmware.
What about video quality? Any tips for improving quality?

[Q] Fastest ROM

Introduction:
Hi everyone! I'm currently running Chip v1.5 with Entropy's kernel on my US YP-G70. It's great, but I'm wondering if there is a faster ROM to use (eg: less CPU use and less resource-consuming background processes). JoyOS seems great but I'm wary of the slow wireless connecting and iOS theme.
What I'm Looking for (MUST):
- fully working camera (taking photos and videos, and not just on fastburst)
- working wi-fi and bluetooth
- GPS compatibility with Gapps (apparently some ROMS - forgot which specifically - have GPS issues)
- Built-in non-stock launcher (as in the stock launcher is removed and some other launcher is installed as the only and default launcher)
- light (low RAM usage, like LewaOS claims 200 MB+ free)
- fast
It Would Be Nice to Have...
- customizable lockscreen built-in (or an option to disable the lockscreen so I can use WidgetLockscreen without excess processes)
- overclocking (don't worry - I won't go crazy and set it above 1.2-ish)
- Samsung bloatware removed
Closing Statement:
Please comment below to suggest me some ROMs that satisfy the above conditions. With the requirement of a working camera and bluetooth, I'm probably looking for a Stock/GB-based ROM. On a last note, I know you devs out there put a lot of work into your ROMs, so I hope I'm not coming off as unappreciative.
CM 10.1? I use a few tweaks.

Actually, I would love to use CM 10.1 with Sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252851) to get that wonderful 441MB RAM but people keep saying that neither bluetooth nor the camera works. Perhaps the tweaks you mentioned deal with those? Btw thanks, TheKryptonite, for helping me out again.

Bluetooth works and both cameras work (albeit you can only take pictures with the rear camera using FastBurst). There is also a video fix zip file floating around that will give you video recording functionality.
I wouldn't really call it working when you can take 800x480 "pictures" but always something. 3mpx quality was awfuk too. I have to try that fastburst

Because capturing pictures doesn't work, only preview does. So they take screenshots using fast burst. But image previews are bad quality. So they're trying to fix the camera

as far the the best performing rom u really should stick with stock based roms. that just my advice if you were to update u must realize that you must sacafice a few features but your than also get a ton of new minor ones back i guess it just depends on your own preference.
I'm not looking for jb roms in particular, so gb-in fact, any-roms are fine with me, given they satisfy the criteria, of course
