Can anyone post photos taken with their stock updated razr or their custom rom razr? I want to see how good they are because at first when i saw photos from the razr they were pretty bad.
I'm looking at getting a used razr... Possibly.
(upgrading from atrix)
RAZR is awesome...I was debating between this and nexus and I'm glad I took the RAZR. Battery life and performance is superb. With a little modifications the RAZR turns into exactly what your looking for. Even without the high density screen it still looks incredible I vote to get it

Clearly I am never in the best lighting when these come up. Outdoors its fantastic. Fairly impressed indoors. Camera is fast. After it focuses it is no shutter. Just snap away. But the first focus is fairly quick too
Only issues with this and all phone cameras is digital noise in low-light conditions.
I never have flash on. Rarely use it. Seems to wash out some. I even use the low light setting w no flash if lamps are on.
Which rom are you guys using?
Hmm, those photos hardly look better (if even better at all) than my 5mp Atrix
Lol is this any better? I'm sure tapatalk cuts the photo some. I have a better pic outside
Here's my ultra busy boy
I think it does cut them. I'm uploading thru the app.
Just confirmed it. Tapatalk cuts a lot out. I uploaded it and saved it and checked out the details according to quickpic. That's mainly why. All I can say is I am very satisfied w the camera and what you may see on the samoled screen isn't exactly how it will look if you send it thru gmail and view it.
A few recent photos of my run-in with a deer:
Both on GB firmware. Don't have any good ones since installing ICS.
Just toke this one with gb 2.3.6

Clean the lens, make sure you have good lighting as well.

"clean the lense" - my first thought. grainy regardless of lighting condition but not as grainy outside in natural sunlight.
Rule out the rom, 1.8.6 is mint for me.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I've noticed pictures are grainy on any rom for the TB and on the Incredible. It seems to happen most when you do not have enough natural light or when you are zooming. Phones do not have optical zoom they have digital zoom and there is a difference. I think digital just adds more pixels where as optical actually magnifies.
I took this one zoomed about 3/4 of the way in today in bright sunlight using BaMF 1.8.6 Remixed. It's the only picture I've taken so far since flashing the rom though.

yeah just wish my pictures werent so grainy
Digital zoom is pretty much useless - its equivalent to just cropping the photo. The graininess I think you're referring to is noise, rather than pixelation. You get noise when the total amount of light that hits the sensor is low, and with the tiny sensor on the TB (and most phones in general), this is impossible to avoid in many cases.
I do remember talk with some GB roms a while back about overclocking to 1.4 GHz for better camera performance. Maybe this would help? I can't imagine it would hurt...
Re: pentile screen image sample
Pentile screen quite obvious when using digital zoom in camera. see image attached

And what does pentile screen have to do with zoom? You do realize this is using digital zoom and it is crap?

Exactly. And..what does a picture taken with the phone's camera have to do with the screen? ...hmm.
This post is full of fail.
sorry but i don't really see your point.. this doesn't prove anything nor has to do with PenTile technology. your problem is called digital zoom so don't blame the screen if you don't know what you're talking about.
hi guys no need to be upset. it's just my initial thoughts... okay i admit digital zoom got nothing to do with the pentile display...i just noticed the pixelation seem to "look" like the pexilation of the pentile screen, but thats just my opinion.
cheers!

My laptop doesn't have pentile so I can't see what you're seeing... but I'll take your word for it.
hi sleek68,
please don't take my word for it. im no expert. you can always refer here -->www.pentileblog.com.
what i could say is that it may not be the best display out there. i has potential along with appropriate fonts and icons that will render nicely on your display.
Sent from my XT910 using XDA App
I thought the OP wanted us to focus on the fence or something....lol
That screen shot isnt a good way to say its looks similar to Pentile.
You would be better off just taking a pic of your phone with another camera and hopefully get good detail.
And for me....letters and edges of icons is the only places where I can ...clearly....see it when held close. Held closer and its clearer on icons themselves.
Pic and clips....nothing.
Its not the display, its the camera and the JPEG rendering engine software.
Although it is 8 megapixels, it is not iPhone or SGS2 quality.
I notice the flaws in the pentile display when I am moving and zooming around in a Pdf file.
But I did get over 89,000 on the Browser Mark test.

They are very fine, and by now you all know everything about it...so my question is, take it back?? Or live with it??
Also, is it going to worsen over time???
Plz help...
Live with it if you can. They don't worsen and your replacement might be worse.

Thanx man...and i guess you are right...who knows, the one next might be worst...i possibly can't ask the shop keeper to open all the boxes until i find the 'right one'. If there is such a thing that is...strangely, they are like Mr Hyde...vanishing during the day in thin air...

Luckily I am not...infact i just saw it yesterday after almost 9 days of buying it...my only fear is it shouldn't worsen...

My first device had very little spots, it was returned for a dead pixel. The second device had quite a bit more spots. Live with it if you can, if not then take it back and check the new phone out in the store closet before you leave.
I actually noticed a few spots just last night. I immediately made the decision not to care, since I've owned it for so long, and just now noticed it. PLUS I've gone through some pretty bad experiences with returns (6 different EVOs from Sprint each worse than the last).

Bad news- seems like there is one developing in the centre of the screen...now i am concerned...
They are like pimples on a youth face...come from nowhere, vanish in thin air...the older ones seem to fade slightly i think...hmm.
Sent from my Droid RaZr.
spots sounds okay, mine has bands running across it which looks like glue residue
My Razr Maxx has no spots or any other screen "defects" at all. And I have been trying to look for them since I first read posts about that, so it got me wondering on if that's something that was fixed with the Maxx version of the Razr. Are there any Maxx owners here with no screen defects at all?
That's good question that I would like to know as well!

Few weeks ago I went on a trip to the Steens Mountains and Alvord desert in Oregon and I am blown away at the quality that came out of the EVO's camera.
The only problem I had there was a major wildfire going on so I missed out on the usually pure clear skies.
Don't know why the forum shrinks the images, but do yourselves a favor and open the images in their own windows full size.

Me too. Evo LTE camera is so much better than standard digital cameras
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It's a good temp camera but I still couldn't use it as a stand alone. Outside and plenty of light all cameras will do well. Once it gets a little dark that's where it separates pretty fast.

The camera is the reason I upgraded from the OGEvo to the LTE. I am outdoors a lot and like to take pictures. Low light pictures are pretty good, too. So it's been a great upgrade for sure. But I do still take the good camera on trips or when I know I want great pictures every time.
I don't have the money to get the camera on my wish list, but I don't need it. We came home from Jamaica with about 2000 pics that were crazy awesome! I think I might like the OG a little better. I took that bad boy to tons of places and came out with masterpieces. It's so nice just needing nothing but your phone.

I use the panoramic feature for quick reflection maps when I want to quickly composite 3d objects and I want to quickly test accurate reflections. If it looks good then I can go back with my gear and make HDR maps for the final composite
Hello everyone I hope you all are having a wonderful day.
The Xperia Z Ultra is very cheap in my area right now, $350, and am now wondering if I should replace my Galaxy S4 with this device.
For those of you who have had this device for a while, do you guys think that it would be a worthwhile upgrade?
I also have a Nexus 7, so I sort of understand how this phone would feel in my hands.
Also is the battery life and camera as bad as people say it is?
Thank you for reading and I can't wait to hear your replies.
I would definitely do it. It's not as big as the Nexus 7, but it's still pretty big for a phone. You do get used to the size pretty quickly though. The camera is not directly good, but it's not incredibly bad either. It performs OK in daylight. You can go through the Photos thread and see for yourself. The one posted here was taken a couple of weeks ago by me.
The battery is actually very good. You can check out the Battery thread yourself, but you can expect to get around 5-8 hours of screen time depending on usage.

The camera is ok in really bright locations, if it's anything other than sunny, it's terrible. I just moved from a nexus 5 to this phone, GPe, not sure I'm going to keep using as my main phone.
battery life is great, considering it has such a huge screen
camera is not as great as others. this is a tablet-like phone, not a phone focusing on camera.
if you want a good camera, look elsewhere.
Just learn how to use the camera and it's not too bad in lower light
Battery life isn't bad.. Actually pretty good especially when brand new. Close to two days when new but after many hours of heavy online gaming the battery life has dropped on mine. Still get about a day though.
I recently ordered a Z Ultra online, and now it's on its way!
Can't wait! Thanks for all the reply's! :highfive:
