HI. I'm new to this stuff so sorry if there already is topic where I can ask my question, and sorry for my bad english, I'm from Croatia. I have my LG G5 for less than a month, and I just cant seem to get a great video. When I take pictures, they are perfect, but when I record a video, no matter what the surrounding is, its okay, but its not great as I expected... For example, I was in Vienna last weekend and I was recording beautiful park, it was normal sunny day. The video seems to be okay, but when Im moving left or right when recording, the sky which is blue in the video, is blurry, every time when i move camera left or right, the bright things in video are blurred I dont know what to do, is anyone else having this problem? Maybe I have to do something in the camera settings to make it better. Thank you for the answers.
post an example
I will post the video as soon as I come home from work. Can I upload it here directly from my phone? Its 52 megabytes big

Find it funny that in all the footage they're using all kinds of stuff to use the screen and in reality it's no better than anything else. I remember seeing a demo after the event of sumone who wud swipe the iPhone really fast for like two seconds, the phone would move on the desk and not give it a chance, even using the ends of his fingers. Where as showing off the Lumia he'd press down smoother and firmer with the tips of his finger and take his time lol.
When Nokia are showing stuff off at events or any one for that matter, you cannot ever believe them, they're gonna bull**** to sell their phone. Just wait for the real reviews and go see the phone yourself before making a blind decision. It's like the camera and how the video they pretended was of the Nokia 920 and then someone spotted the reflection of a bigger camera. How when they compared those night shots between phones the 808 is somehow worse than the 920? Obviously they've made the others look worse by turning off night mode and what ever else.
This is not true, there are photo comparisons with night mode on also. This pics were made from,, the verge'' and also engadget made some comparison pics with night mode when they was in Finland. So stop talking bull****, cause you have no idea.

Then how do you explain the 808 being worse when it's got the better camera?
Also how do you explain the press shots being so smooth and perfect but in real world shots by people other than Nokia they're all grainy and poor? Also I know for a fact that the GS3 didn't have night mode on in those pictures because it came out as that and they refined it.

Lol. Way to go. thanks for the review.
I personally was really sad when I watched them and saw, as you stated, that Wifi turns off on sleep/standby. Its so obvious to make it optional. I dont want my 3G limit going off when I am covered with wifi both at work and home and push notification is always on. Plus skydrive wifi backup of photos and videos, those shouldn't stop just because phone goes to sleep. I mean like if I update something on my pc/notebook and it auto-syncs to my skydrive, then it will only START to sync on my phone when and if I wake it up??? Too bad.
Also similarly what happend if on standby and Skype call comes in. Does it switch to wifi when I pick up? That needs some seconds to reconnect doesn't it?
In short, common MS what the hell where you thinking? And you had a beta tested 7.0 for more that a year. Didn't anyone in your guru team notice why its stupid to not have option for this???

I feel you man!
Wifi goes off after 1 minute in standby if there is no traffic. If you are downloading in standby it doesnt go off.
Not really a review, but imo the best hands-on video yet, 18 minutes long.

Huh why all the hate?
Ask the random Canadien guy () for example how he felt about the night shots? You can find tons real life pictures taken with Lumia 920.
Lumia 920 takes best low light shots out there, 808 will remain the best camera phone, but that's not a big surprise. Nobody is buying 808 phone with huge hump on the back.
Anyways so far looking really good. Will likely order white Lumia 920 by the end of this week.

Thant is well and ok, but what happens in the scenarios that I mentioned?
So:
1. Phone is on standby
a: Skype call comes in and I pick up? Video?
b: New file gets uploaded to my skydrive (from other source)? (This in particular is very often for business user)
c: I receive a mail or other push item?
a skype question: when the phone is in standby, and you receive a skype call, once you answer the data should change from mobile data to wifi; does the switch disconnect you from the call? only asking because had this problem on android (not to mention the skype app crashes constantly too...)

Not bad for the Verge and their anti Microsoft stance. Higher score than I thought
The Wi-Fi and multitasking thing really sux man...Damn, I really would like to switch to lumia 920 or a WP8 device generally but I don't know. Probably just gonna get the nexus 4 in the end, price/specs/software is just better...Thing is, I just want a more unique device this time around. Might forgive those flaws though, we will see.
I picked up the 920 a couple of days ago, and started a thread that has some good discussion and photos I've taken.

A More Balanced Review!
Phones 4u have done a rather decent review of the 920. Worth a watch.
Hi moto e2 users
I'm interested in buying of this phone and I have few questions:
1. Is gps working fine? Does it work good as track recorder?
2. Has it got light sensor and gyroscope (i don't mean accelerometer)?
3. Can it save photos to SD?
Thanks for answer
1.GPS works very well on my device, but it gets a little crazy when I stay on indoors places.
2.I can't say about this because i never looked at this.
3.With the Moto Camera it can saves both photos and videos on SD Card.
Hope it helps, and it's such a nice device i must say.

Have you tried to record your track (using my tracks for example)? My current phone is horrible with that (recorded line is not straight, there are empty spaces) and I need update. About 2, can you install cpuz and give me screen shot from sensors tab?
Thanks

Damn my phone! Using the camera is a joke. I want to save my images to the SD card as I bought a memory card for it as I shoot lots of images and I don't want to max the phone storage out. Forever it will take a photo and you think all is good but then when you go to the gallery there is a grey square instead of the image. Clicking it grey square brings up a dialogue box saying there is no thumbnail. Trying to use it via Flickr upload, Facebook etc says the image is corrupt and can't be used.
Now, it's only the images taken with the camera that is the issue. Whatapp album, downloaded images album, Flickr download folder are all fine, the issue is just images I take with the phone?
So annoyed. Wish I had not cut a corner and bought the Samsung instead.
What a [email protected]#[email protected] title for thread. Talk for yourself.
I'm perfectly happy with H7 camera, can save pics to SD, quality is good..
You having problems with H7 don't means all users have it.

No, what's [email protected]#[email protected] is your reply. No one made you read my post and no one made you comment so if you don't like it then close the door behind you as I am entitled to my opinion and to voice it. Plus you say talk for yourself. How do you know I am? For all you know it could be an issue that most people are facing?
Today I was baking with my 3 kids, something that I don't get the time to do and thought it would be a nice bonding thing to do with them - father and children. Not wanting to ruin the moment and go for the DSLR I used my phone. All the images that I took, that was about 15 or so of each child mixing their ingredients, preparing the cakes, getting them ready for the oven, capturing their beaming smiles (which with my twin 4 year old boys is no mean feat), and then for all of them circa 45 or so images so all be ruined and not one recorded properly just sucked so excuse me if I vent a little steam.

Again, this is just hearsay
Getting back on track, looking at the image files on a PC, not one gives me the option to view, they can't be opened and again there is no thumbnail. Looking at the EXIF data and none is recorded. Trying to import one into Photoshop and it says "could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete."
Now in the past I faced this issue with the camera (this phone) and I would go straight to Flickr and upload the image before it went mental and stopped playing ball with the image so at least I had a copy. Then I would then download it back down from Flickr and that image file would be fine, unlike the original that would do dolaly.
Please feel free to keep arguing with me if you like, we're both entitled to our own opinions but its kinda pointless as it doesn't solve anything
Did You cry long after my last post ? :laugh:
How do I know You speak for everybody?
Look at title of your thread: using statement like 'for you' clearly says, that you try implement your opinion on someone else, possibly make some people not to buy this decent phone.
Could be an issue most people are facing ?
Well, nope. After this long after premiere of this phone there would be houndreds of posts about it. There isn't.
Tried to bond with the kids and camera didn't obey ?
Sad story. So sad that your life is rubbish if You don't have enough time for your kids. Maybe change of life style ?
Money isn't everything.
Feel free to argue ?
Yet again you say to someone what he can do or not? Déjà vu of your thread title.
Thank You for bit of entertaiment That would be my last post in this thread as you are clearly to touchy to continiue. Don't wanna make you cry again
Yet ' feel free to argue ' , others would have some fun reading it too i belive.
Sorry for all inconvinience I made to You
Let's try and be constructive. I'm not having this problem either. Try a faster sd card. Class 10 are the fastest, I have a samsung class 6. Also turn down resolution (here I use 8M, who need 5000x3000 resolution?) Because it affects file size.
I'm not having this problem, I save to sd card and thumbnails are created and all camera images are viewable in the gallery and editable when transferred to pc. You have a problem specific to your phone/sd card.
Can you see thumbnails when you save to internal memory?
I bet it's something with sd card. Try another one. Never had problems with camera app and photos. Please look also if you enabled to save location with photo - perhaps it can't get the position and that's why it don't save them correct ( just a try to find the error)
Good luck
I disagree. I love the camera on the H7.
Paired with Google's Snapseed, I get some pretty good photos.
Also, I have no issues with SD cards and saving photos onto them.
I'd tend to agree with the original poster, in day to day use the camera is more often bad than good.
There is a huge delay when taking the photo,and most annoyingly what gets saved is different than the image that flashes on the screen when you press the shutter! What gets saved is often out of focus and with motion blur.
I find the camera very disappointing for all but well lit rock-steady slow shots.

I never have the issues mentioned by the OP, like mentioned I would hazard a guess at the SD card being at fault here. Overall I'm happy with he camera performance.
The only thing I would have liked is image stabilisation as I have quite shaky hands but I will just have to try and use both hands and lean against something for support where I can I guess.
im also pleasantly suprised by the camera. its nice n snappy and takes good photos. I dont have the issues mentioned in the OP>
Maybe a bad sd card??

I had similar problems when using Snap Camera & photo quality 100% & save to SD Card, With stock camera I never had any problem. So it is definitely a problem of write speed of SD card. Try another one with higher "Class" and pictures will be ok.
I've had none of the issues op is referring to. However i've had issues with phone crashing after taking full hd video. However it is a separate matter and belongs in a different thread.
just got my H7....more than happy with the camera and the photos (set to 20meg)....i won't talk about the speaker phone part
Im too happy with the camera of Honor 7. The issue mentioned here might be bcos of SD card low speed (or) higher RAM utilization.
EMUI should really fix all the RAM management issues.

If you are using standard photos, you should get 20MP.
Try to clean the cache/data of the app in the phone settings.

got the P9 now...now this has a camera
Okay so I have the LG G5 US992 Titan from U.S. Cellular and just like some others who own this phone (regardless of carrier) I've noticed that a lot of the time the main rear camera is very grainy in low light or if you zoom in, even in good lighting conditions. I'm making this thread to see if there's a way to swap in a better camera from another phone and have it work, or if it just simply wouldn't work at all. I know there's a manual mode and it's very good, but I like to use my camera in auto mode a lot of the time when I want to get a quick shot of something.
I know this may seem like a stupid question to ask, but I don't know much at all about this kind of stuff, and I'm curious, so I thought this site would yield the best answers. Thanks for taking the time to read this, have a great day. ^_^

Swapping the camera itself would not work due to the software programmed for that particular model.
If you want better low light shots, consider using one of the GCam ports. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/themes/cstark27-google-camera-mod-wide-angle-t3747263 The processing algorithm in those apps brings out significantly more detail than the stock camera's own HDR settings.
So since the MIUI 11 update, when i record a video and im watching it, i cant go forward or backwards when im watching it on fullscreen. Before the update i could just drag my finger from one side of the screen to another to alternate between minutes or seconds. I dont know if im making it clear enough, cause my english is not the strongest so im sorry and thank you if you're reading this.
