The lower the number the better.
The size of a camera sensor will have a big impact on the quality of your pictures. The lens gathers light and directs it towards the sensor, and the sensor records the light to create the image. Large sensor produces better images
All things being equal, a larger sensor will receive more light than a smaller one, and produce better images. This is especially important in low light photography.

Hang and Dead Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
If ever your N8 failed to boot up (mean pressing the power button but no response), do as follow:
1. Verify is it a SW hang by long press the power button >7.5 seconds to force shutdown the N8. This is for SW hang scenario 2. Plug in the charger and wait for AT LEAST 15 minutes, then try to boot up. This is for depleted battery scenario 3. If you are SURE the battery not depleted and got the DEAD N8, send to NCC for checking as it might be defective hardware related issues.
From experience, the N8 can't be Hard Reset once it's failed to boot up normally or so call "DEAD N8".

Then, take alot of pictures with different light sensitivity, exposure or other settings. Compare the pictures. This is basically trial and error. 3. Next, take alot of pictures with different angle, positions and distance and scenery. Try with different setting as well. Compare the pictures, and choose the best among the best 4.

Nokia N8 Screen Test (Dark Blend and Dark "Stains" during AMOLED near turn OFF mode)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
All, attached here the Screen Test color cards which use to check the Nokia N8 AMOLED screen quality.
1. Extract the .zip and it contain 16 color cards with below setting, all are in 360x640 resolution:
01. ST BLACK-00.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 000000. 02. ST BLACK-01.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 010101. 03. ST BLACK-02.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 020202. 04. ST BLACK-03.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 030303. 05. ST BLACK-04.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 040404. 06. ST BLACK-05.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 050505. 07. ST BLACK-06.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 060606. 08. ST BLACK-07.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 070707. 09. ST BLACK-08.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 080808. 10. ST BLACK-09.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 090909. 11. ST BLACK-10.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0A0A0A. 12. ST BLACK-11.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0B0B0B. 13. ST BLACK-12.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0C0C0C. 14. ST BLACK-13.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0D0D0D. 15. ST BLACK-14.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0E0E0E. 16. ST BLACK-15.bmp are a pure black card where the RGB setting are 0F0F0F.
2. Open these files with the default photo viewer.
3. Go into an enclose place (total darkness needed) wait for a while (to let our eyes get use to the darkness) and view into the phone screen.
4. From what I've observed the phone AMOLED will start to turn off start at "ST BLACK-04.bmp", "ST BLACK-03.bmp", "ST BLACK-02.bmp", "ST BLACK-01.bmp",
"ST BLACK-00.bmp".
5. The screen dark "stains" will sufface as well during these few color cards.
6. Start from "ST BLACK-05.bmp" onward the dark "stains" will be not so visible.
7. All these have to be done in total darkness room as these defective "stains" are not visible at all when the surrounding are bright.
After you seen these result DO NOT simply bash N8 straight away as we're not sure why/how the AMOLED display technology work and how it perform on other
devices. Anyone can use these color cards to verify on others AMOLED display devices as well...

I noticed that when I plugged the phone into my laptop to transfer songs, the phone went on a permanent "Media Transfer in Progress", even though the media was already supposedly transferred on Ovi. Is this normal? or did I just buy a broken set
Edit: More than 3 hours have passed, and I only transferred 3 songs

Blue red dots? Is it noise? If it is , then its not the camera problem. Its because your picture your taking doesn't have enough light.

This happens when I try to open the Music Player while the phone is connected to the PC.
There u have your answer because u transferring u open the music player. Wait you transfer finish unplug only open the music player and u wont face this issue. Remember to refresh the library for it to update

has any1 sent their n8 to ncc to fix the purple tint display and succeed?
i think better wait few more months for Nokia to get a better quality and QC AMOLED display first for now. Still too new for NCC to handle this issue, scared that their spare part display all also got same issue. Unless right now we got some dare devils here willing to send to NCC as guinea pigs Btw, the colour banding issue on the AMOLED will be more obvious with Dark Grey N8 with the original theme. And when watching videos or when u taking low light photo, sometimes very obvious also the issue
This is a n8 related thread why suddenly telekom can appear here?

For those who are using A-GPS, can try to add in supl.google.com as the first Positioning server then only the second, supl.nokia.com. Located under, Settings > Application Settings > Positioning > Positioning server
Already tested and confirmed that Google server is faster than Nokia for A-GPS. Tested with Maxis 3G and Digi 3G for both positioning server and supl.google.com got better ping and less packet loss compared with supl.nokia.com.
Results are Ovi Maps and Garmin XT satelites locking are faster!

Sifu, why so easy emo wan? I was trying out my friend's Desire HD the other day. It's really more responsive and screen layout more attractive than our N8 but the camera on our phone really pawned the DS HD.
Sifu, why so easy emo wan? I was trying out my friend's Desire HD the other day. It's really more responsive and screen layout more attractive than our N8 but the camera on our phone really pawned the DS HD.
Desire HD and N8 both compare spec side by side, lose kao kao. Got a big screen but not AMOLED. Camera no custom modes. Bluetooth 2 only. No tv out. HD recording oso cacat. Good side is the *Gween Lobot* OS good only. Price sumore at RM2.1k
damnit, my 4 year old nokia n70 refuses to totally die. but I guess the N8's camera is a good investment. its crazy having to spend over rm500 for a phone lol, personally for me.
is the price at nokia shop acceptable ? (RM15xx something)

from N8 launch till now...N8 camera still the best amount all the camera phone available on the market
for price...try search at "Mobile Phones and Related Accessories" section, saw few forumer selling at RM14xx (ORI)
I wonder should i try the N8 6 Homepage Mods .. LOL .. WIll i use extra battery if i have multiple homescreen running ??
I think it would somewhat consume more power as more tasks are running. And if you fill it up with active widgets I would think that the results on battery life would be quite noticeable. Any users out there would care to share?
same here... sama saja the batt usage... but with the PR1.1 it do seem the batt usage been extented a bit...
I have tested 6 HS with at least 3 to 4 live widget each HS....battery life suck and if using 6 HS I unable to change default wallpaper. it say error widget memory full something like that and the phone a bit slower...and i lost about 20mb ram with 6HS vs 3HS.... btw reboot also slower and sometime hang when set 6 or 5 HS with 3 to 4 live widget...
now using only 4 HS only...so far look good..speed better almost same like 3 HS...
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, Nokia laid out the threats it faces as part of its planned deal with Microsoft.
There are many, according to Nokia. Some have already been identified by critics of the agreement, under which Nokia will phase out use of its Symbian operating system in favor of Microsoft's Windows Phone software. Publicly held companies routinely disclose all the possible risks of their businesses to shareholders.
The immaturity of that software, just released in phones in November, is one serious risk, Nokia said.
"The Windows Phone platform is a very recent, largely unproven addition to the market focused solely on high-end smartphones with currently very low adoption and consumer awareness relative to the Android and Apple platforms, and the proposed Microsoft partnership may not succeed in developing it into a sufficiently broad competitive smartphone platform," Nokia wrote in the filing.
While the companies have signed a "non-binding term sheet," they still have to negotiate the final contract, a process that might take longer than expected or might not happen at all, Nokia warned.
By choosing Windows Phone, Nokia may forgo more competitive alternatives that would let its phones reach greater and faster acceptance in the market, it said.
Also, the transition to Windows Phone might take too long to allow Nokia to compete, given the ongoing development of other platforms, Nokia said.
In the same filing, Nokia said it expects to take two years to make the transition to Windows Phone as its primary platform. During that time, it will continue to support Symbian in the hopes of transitioning the installed base of 200 million Symbian owners to Nokia Windows phones, Nokia said. It reiterated its hopes of selling an additional 150 million Symbian phones in future years.
Nokia pointed to other threats as well, such as the danger that the deal could erode its brand identity in areas such as China, where it is quite strong, and fail to enhance the brand in areas such as the U.S., where it is currently weak.
Another challenge will be building a profitable business model around a platform like Windows Phone, for which Nokia must pay royalties, Nokia said. While Symbian is a royalty-free operating system, it didn't come without significant costs to Nokia, which spent more than US$400 million in 2008 to buy the half of the Symbian company that it didn't already own.
In the filing, Nokia also warned about the challenges it faces internally as it implements the new plan for Windows Mobile. For example, it may not be able to change its mode of working or culture to work effectively with Microsoft, the company said. Because Nokia anticipates laying off a large number of workers, the remaining employees may lose motivation, energy and focus, thus reducing their productivity, Nokia said.
Because of all of the uncertainty resulting from the proposed deal, the company said it will not provide annual targets for 2011, although it expects its devices business to grow faster than the market.
It did not further elaborate on the precise amount of money that Microsoft will contribute to Nokia. In February, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said that Microsoft would pay Nokia billions of dollars as part of the deal over an unspecified time. Orignal Author: Nancy Gohring

BTW, advanced booking for Package 2 is 3 days in advance. So everyone who wants to participate please confirm early early ah.
Tickets are RM20 for Mykad holders for both Observatory and Skybrige visit. If he's confirming then he will have to pay in advance RM40 then I pay back RM20 deposit on him showing up.

I'm planning to get an orange N8 this month and join the club, but I've not much experience about phone stuff May I know is Nokia N8 good to buy right now? I mean, they have newer firmware and is the "DEAD" of Nokia N8 already solved? Cos I read here in the previous thread said that it has sudden death
By the way, I've read the first page of V27, there's a lot of things, those are something like "jailbreak" or....?
Sorry, i'm really noob in phone, hope to learn more here

Dun worry, there are plenty of senior members and junior members here who owns an N8 willing to help u anytime.
For the dead issue thing, I rarely or sort of haven't heard of any incident anymore lately. If there is any now, it usually happened on the older batch of phones. Some speculate that the newer batch is more stable. But regardless the risk is still there and it's less than 5% so it's up to u n ur luck.
If you are looking for a phone with a good camera then it is definitely a good buy if u minus the fact that a normal basic digital camera just cost slightly cheaper.
There's no "jailbreak" here but there are something called "mods" and "signed certificate" We'll teach u more bout it once u got the n8

Thanks first, anyway, more questions.
1. How to know that the phone is actually not the older batch that you mentioned? I wanted to get newer batch in order to avoid the risk of dead N8.
2. Actually I'm a user of Nokia N8 for more than 3 years, camera is my highest priority in buying a phone, that's why I need a N8, is there any better camera phone than N8?
3. for your mods and signed certificate statement, it's just another name of "jailbreak" like IP4 ya?
4. Between Original and AP, is there any different in term of the phone's quality and parts ( I mean, inside the phone itself like the LCD and etc ) or just the warranty coverage is different? Which one is better price?
5. Orange color is now available for local distributor right? I tot last time what I heard, only black, silver and green are available. Wanted the orange one badly, cos I saw in picture, the color is very bright

Here's the answers
1. I'm not so sure bout this but an orange N8 in M'sia is definitely newer considering M'sia did not have orange until a "very" long time after that
2. N8 is definitely the best camera phone in the market now hands down without contest. Just look at Aspire's picture and you'll know why
3. Well, we prefer not to use the term jailbreak since it's "exclusively" for ifags
4. Get Ori, no point getting AP since the price is not even much different. Some AP is even more expensive than Ori. And becareful with shops in Sg Wang. I'm not sure why but that day I went to get 2 phones from Sg Wang, the sales person told me out of 100 N8, 60 of their phones get returned. And for the 2 phones I bought which is Ori (BB and Nokia), I found out they are both "underwater" sets but yet it's definitely Ori warranty.
5. It's available long time but rare. It's a beautiful colour which I originally wanted but it was not out in M'sia till very much alter on

1. N8 launch in malaysia 16/10/10, if u get ORI set from nokia, should be new batch ady, but if get AP set, that depend on their old stock, but chance of getting first batch is very very low
2. how u been using N8 for 3 years? N8 only been launch in malaysia for only 5 month and 1 day!! is it N8X or N8XX?
3. something like that lah
4. for the phone quality its self, Original and AP set is same, cos both came from same factory, few different like wall socket, print material and accessory. for price of ORI and AP only different by 100+/-, for sure get the ORI lah

Think really hard before you make this purchase. If you want a good camera and a phone, go for it. If you want internet, games, good e-mail, and good apps, looks for an android or iphone. Simple

Really thank you all so much for the informations, well it was typo in the previous post, I'm user of Nokia N82 Forgotten to put a "2" at back there It made me like coming from future
So, I think i will grab one soon and come back soon to learn more, I wan those "signed certificate" skills
Those sign cert to make your life easy just pm me your imei and it's done already. If you like photography n8 is a good starting point. It helps me at work, clubbing, family portrait, close up, low light, and with some 3rd party u know how great it can be

yes...both orange and blue is available in m'sia...but need to do more search, cos some shop dont have ready stock for those colour

If you own a Nokia phone before, N8 will be the right phone for you. Actually, signed certificate is not the same as jailbreak. Signed certificate is very easy and will not harm your phone. I believe all Nokia user (smartphone) need to get their phone certificate key to install most downloaded app. Another way to install most app by not using certificate signing is firmware mod or jailbreak for *phone.
look like i can go for it too...cos recently i reformat my ant egg...apa pun talak
wrong info... here i CONFIRMED install on top of the current v1.20 with the full v1.30 WON'T overwrite ur hi-score... all remain intact, but the installation time seem a bit long... hehehe

Just want to ask some noob questions. If I use *#7370# will it erase my contact records and stored messages also? My phone is lagging like hell and I want to do a reformat of it.

Lol , seems like PR1.1 doesn't really improves much. Since i got it , i got quite minor problems here and there.
the stereo only in encoding but the source still in mono... to get real stereo recording u need to use video capture as only this way both mic will be activated...
mean the screen will rotate follow the hw sensor... (experiment mod to overcome the current un-turnable call screen) this mod actually do not much as the default PR1.1 already have those landscape dialer BUT with only 1 lag is the Call Screen (the screen when u call somebody) it still stuck permanent in portrait...

Today i called NCC to complain about my n8 bad reception. The lady told me this could be due to corrupt img/mp3/vid files thats saved in the phone's INTERNAL memory. So she advise to delete or buy extra micro sdcard and xfer the files over.
