View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been stunned by how different Samsung's camera behaves compared to the other devices I've tested camera preview stuff with.
Mind you, this is in 2.1 so the SDK 8 Camera.getZoomRatios() and Camera.isZooomSupported() are not available.
Looking at the Camera.getParameters().flatten() result shows that the common "zoom-supported" that I see in HTC, N1, and Mototrolla devices is not there.
Instead there's something called "digi-zoom". I couldnt find any documentation or posts about its usage but a little experimenting revealed it takes numerals 1..10 as string and will zoom accordingly. I have no idea what the ratios would be.
Also, there's some madness with the flash mode on the Galaxy S Epic that I have tested with.
Calls to getSupportedFlashModes() return only auto,on,off. There is no torch supported.
However, if you do params.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_TORCH) it will turn the LED on!
Sadly, subsequently setting it to FLASH_MODE_OFF or FLASH_MODE_AUTO does not turn the LED off! It's stuck on until Camera.release(), or maybe Camera.stopPreview(), I havent traced into it yet to see which actually turns it off.
I suppose that's why Samsung doesnt return torch in the supported list. I'd prefer not to have to stop and restart the preview to turn it off for this model.
I want to use this phone as a digital camera replacement. However when I turn on tehcamera, the power button turns into a "lock" button. There's no way to turn off the screen. So first I have to hit the home key. Then it takes about 8 seconds for the camera to disable before it returns to the home screen.Only then can I shut the phone using the power key. Then if I want to use the camera,I have to turn on the screen and relaunch the camera app.This feels completely wrong to me and makes it hard to use as a pure digital camera.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHere are a few shots taken using both my Epic 4G and my Evo 4G.
1) I'm not a photographer
2) I used Vignette on the Evo 4G
3) I used both the Stock camera and Vignette for the Epic
4) The Epic pictures were taken while there was more sunlight out, the Evo was more in optimum lighting.
5) Neither has been retouched in any way
I also have 720p video shot with both phones, just don't know where to upload it yet.
I'm pretty sure my home screen would do landscape with keyboard closed the first couple of days I had the phone and now it wont do it unless the keyboard is out. Anyone else have the same issue?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to move or remove the +/- virtual zoom buttons? I like to scroll with my right thumb and it gets in the way all the time.
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust FYI in case anyone wants to know: For download mode, with the phone turned off, fold the number 1 key on the QWERTY keyboard and the power button simultaneously For recovery mode, with the phone turned off, hold Volume Down, CAmera, and Power simultaneously. You navigate with volume UP/DOWN, select with HOME, Menu toggles to "Manual Mode", whatever that it.

View 14 Replies View RelatedOne of the selling points of the Epic 4G is the 5mp Camera it has.. Gizmodo rated better than the iphone's and even though, it doesn't have 8 mp (Evo), its 5 mp picture has a higher quality than Evo's.
Please post your pictures and if you can use some of the photo apps available ( Fxcamera, Retro cam, Camera Illusion, Vignette, Photostitch), it will give us a better idea of how good the camera and apps are.

I installed r7 and love it fast.Only question i have is the .Is there an app that can fix this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am triing something on my EVO to see if the picture and video quality can match the epics. But I need someone who has rooted there epic to send me the epic's orginal camera apk file to see if it works on the EVO.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to decide between an EVO and an Epic, and one of the key features I am concerned about is the camera. After spening some time on the Evo forums, I have a pretty good idea what the camera will do. I know the Epic has fewer megapixels, but that doesn't mean worse pictures. Anyone have any good info on what the Epic's camera will be like? Ideally some sort of comparison of something besides megapixels would be awesome!

View 2 Replies View Relatedi understand this might be a known issue (radio crash after froyo update). anybody know what to do?rooted my phone awhile ago... upgraded to Froyo a couple days ago (leaked FROYO.DJ29) and things were moving along pretty well. today while the phone was sitting inactive, it decided to go into airplane mode.the last thing it did was try to download a google maps update.i'm completely unable to get out of airplane mode. if i unselect it, it says "turning on wireless connections." but never finishes that. resetting doesn't help. taking the battery out doesn't help.in fact, the date on the phone reset to December 31, 2004.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to bed at night, I set my phone to airplane mode (if I set an alarm), or just turn it off. It really stops the overnight battery drain.
View 21 Replies View RelatedI've tried both the manual method as well as the Easy, one-click, auto root out there, but I can't get root to take on this device. I think I'm probably overlooking something simple. What I need to know is. Well, everything from start to finish. When I connect to my PC, I have enabled USB debugging. Should I allow the SD card to mount or keep is in "charging" mode? I have experience with the manual methods where you access ADB Shell and copy/paste commands. That's how I rooted my Hero. But I think the connection is not right somehow. I'm seeing a lot of failure messages.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAre you able to use the front facing camera to take a pic of yourself? I'm not an ego maniac, lol, just an idiot I guess. One more question, is there any other way using the stock programs to assign a picture to a contact without having to use the phone's own camera? i.e. linking a pic to contact from facebook or from the sd card?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI kept having problems accidentally backing out of the camera mode when taking pictures, then I discovered that if you hit the power button on the phone it will lock the camera "open" so that you can't accidentally hit another button while holding the phone to take a picture. Just hit the power button again to unlock it.

View 31 Replies View RelatedWhen in the camera and you hit the play button to review pictures, all pictures on the phone come up instead of just the ones i've taken with my camera. Is there a setting to change for this? Do i need to move my photos to a specific folder to avoid this? Right now i have all my pictures in the "media" folder. The camera pictures are in the DCIM folder. So how can this be changed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHome screen used to do landscape immediate and always. Now it doesn't do landscape at all unless I slide the keyboard out and it pops into landscape immediately. Then when I close the keyboard it goes back to portrait even when I'm holding the phone in landscape. Not sure how to fix this, help please.
View 26 Replies View RelatedThe default calendar app seems okay, but I like to see the event details, even if it's just 2 words in the "time box" in week view. I understand it can't do it for month view. It does it in the "day" view (when not in list) but I was curious if there was a better calendar app out on the market that did this?
