App Idea - use IR camera to check sun screen coverage - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Original Android Development

I saw this product and was wondering if this would be a feasible app for the note 7.

You could use the IR camera to take a snap shot of the person to check sun screen coverage.
If you make hook me up!

Wrong thread. Here Note 1 not 7

Tip: Camera app has controllable focus

I had been disappointed the camera app didn't apparently support tap to focus. Turns out it has something similar, just hidden behind an awkward user interface.
You can slide the focus box in the middle with your finger to whatever you want to focus on.
I thought I had explored the app pretty thoroughly, but didn't find that one until I read the review of the Photon on Phonescoop.
If i am not mistaken (and usually i am) lol, I thought I was able to do that as well on my EVO 4G running MikG. I don't have my EVO with me at the moment here at work, but I'll see once i get home. Either way, good to know.
Thanks for the tip.
Edit: just checked with my sis and nope I must have imagined it doing that.
TS out
OK so whatever you move the box to center on is the point of auto focus for the photo....very cool !
now, how do we turn off the extremely annoying shutter sound?
Even with manually adjusting the focus, have you noticed that this camera is particularly bad at taking close-up photos? My Nexus One never had a blurry or out-of-focus photo, but for some reason the camera on my new Photon takes crap pictures. I've even tried the macro mode and it still looks terrible. This is at about 4 inches away from the object being photographed. I tried in various different light settings too.

Touch to focus camera?

I am moving to the Android side after nearly half a decade of the iPhone. I've been spoiled by the touch to focus camera. Does anyone here know if the Note has that feature?

According to the PDF manual I found for the Intl Note:
Tap where you want to focus on the preview screen. 4
The focus frame moves to the place you tap and changes
to green when the subject is in focus.

Not quite, I'm afraid. If it's like on my Galaxy SII Skyrocket (which I heard it's the same camera), touch to focus only works on pictures, not when filming.
My iPhone 4 I could use touch to focus when recording a movie. THAT is awesome.
If the note has this, I'd be surprised. Android cameras in general suck, in low light my Skyrocket sucks (people said I may have a defective unit though), so YMMV).

M7 camera addon possible for DNA

I am just an insane camera freak and love to take pictures and it deals with my work I do with photoshop so yea. I did see this camera lens add on that you can purchase to go with M7 when it comes out to turn it into a dsr camera. Could this work for the DNA? Here is the link http://global.christianpost.com/news/htc-m7-camera-add-on-teaser-image-leaked-90222/
FIXED LINK!

That's not a addon lens,as of right now its a teaser picture from htc. Now unless HTC puts a nice size sensor into the m7 it will not be close to a DSLR, even with a lens it will not improve the picture quality.

Sounds like a cool concept, to use different lenses on a smartphone. It won't improve the image quality, as that's mostly the job of the sensor, but it will assist in things like ZOOM (zoom on most smartphone cameras is miserable, because it's digital zoom, not real telephoto zoom) and cool effects like wide angle/fishbowl and tilt-shift etc...
One thing I'd find cool is a 50mm length lens cause the DNA has a... what f/2 or f2.8 lens? idk, either way its brilliant xD
derp (what I meant by that is, I use a 50mm 1.8 on my Sony NEX-5n and I love it, fast shutter speed and DoF is wonderful, and at a 50mm focal length on a phone would be sweet... didn't mean to smash 50mm and the aperture into a comparison -___-)
Well ok maybe not improved image but already there saying major improvement in the camera department. But my Q is would the lens if it comes out work on our DNA if the M7 has the same size lens to fit the phone?

Not sure what you're looking for here. You don't even have a picture of the real thing to compare with. I'm pretty sure the lens is part of the sensor packaging itself and not user replaceable. What most people would call a lens is simply a piece of protective glass attached to the back cover of the phone.
As stated, you won't see any marked improvement in quality since the camera sensor is still only a fraction of the size you get in even a simple point and shoot camera let alone the postage stamp plus sizes you get in a DSLR.
I don't know if I'm reading this right but is the link stating about an accessory for the phone that you can attach to the back it as in the lens or what. I don't know i'm lost.

No, the link is a teaser picture that HTC released. Not an accessory , not anything at this point. Nothing is officaly known about the next HTC flagship device until tomorrow.
it would be nice to have an ultrapixel camera on the dna ;P

IR BLASTER problem

I just got my Verizon G3 2 days ago, I am having a problem with the IR BLASTER, it has a range of about 6 inches...at first I thought it wasnt working at all but then something made me put it right next to the TV sensor and it works, if I am more then 6 inches away from the TV it does not work... anyone else experience this issue and if so is there a fix for it?
No. I have only tried it once since I received the phone on launch day but when I did try it I was an entire room away with no issues
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
I've been using the IR blaster daily since I got the phone about a week ago. I can say that it has a very narrow angle (much narrower than a traditional remote control) so it has to be aimed directly at the TV. If it is off by more than a few degrees then the sensor in the TV cannot see the phone's LED. With that said, I can still use it from across the room if the angle is dead on.
One question I have for you (and don't take offense)....are you sure you are aiming the IR blaster at the TV and not the camera's laser autofocus? The IR blaster is on the top of the device while the laser for the autofocus is on the back. At 6" the IR blaster may still work even if not aimed directly which is why I ask.
I will admit, I would prefer if they put the IR blaster on the back instead of the top as I find it clunky to use a touchscreen phone like a remote and point directly at the TV. Would be easier to operate like you would the camera and aim the back of the phone at the TV. The IR LED could also be used in conjunction with the camera for better night vision had they went that route......maybe something LG can think about on their next flagship

no offence taken and yes I am pointing the phone in the right direction, I did see the sensor on the back and thought, maybe that is it but realized it was not, I did more research and found out it is very narrow, I got my case today and it actually seems better with the case on, maybe the little funnel around the sensor shoots it better, I dont know...but it now works about 10 feet away, still too short for me to be happy, my HTC one M7 would work from accross a large room with no problem, didnt even have to point it directly at TV, worked just like a regular remote control. I dont use it often but it is nice to have when I do need it, I did find alot of other complaints on the short range of it, maybe someone will develop a mod to increase its power...
I have the same issue and I checked my ir blaster with a digital camera. I was able to see light from my ir blaster only when I had closed all the lights and i was in complete darkness. Also i noticed that my blaster might be misplaced as the light was not coming out from the centre.

Question Whats the Pixel 6 real camera sensor?

Hi
I used both the 6 and friends 6 Pro and the results are different completely.
I do know that the Pixel 6 Pro is using the Samsung GN1, but how we can be sure that Google is using the same camera sensor on the 6?
Tried to find out using AIDA and other apps but it won't show the sensor name..
Pixel 6 sensor is also Samsung GN1

I dont see they mentioned it in the manufacturer site.
Put them Side by side with same lighting conditions youll notice difference between the two.
What kind of differences? Great if you did a comparison side by side example here.

I don't have the files but the main key differences are:
Pixel 6:
Less saturated.
Most photos the subject are lack of brightness.
Less fine details.
Selfie cam is just lack of details.
More noisy camera output (dirty photos)
HDR is just a joke.
Most photos are lifeless..
On the other hand Pixel 6 Pro:
Wider Dynamic range.
Way less noise than the counterpart.
More fine details.
HDR is better, not by much but the difference is there.
Selfie cam is way better, lets leave the selfie cam aside because it's
an different camera module (11mpx vs 8mpx).

They don't have to mentioned. It is said that sensor is 50MP 1/1.31" with 1.2 μm pixels. There is no other sensor with that specs.
Hmm i removed the tempered glass that i applied, will check today if it fixed my photo taking experience.
I do know that "glue" is applied and the heat from the phone might cause blurriness due to that.
