Not from my end... When it's connected to PC, only it can give response to every hardware buttons except POWER, Flashmode or Fastboot. these 3 don't work.

My handa definitely shaky. Trying to improve on that but the scenes... Also not very clear. Example, gourmet scene is for snapping food right? But it isnt very nice when i use it.

1 thing i learned is the focus mode. Need to know which to use for which type of photo u are taking... I think? Lol cry.gif

testing.
manual mode

no scene

just main white balance to -1

macam blur...  cry.gif

seems fine to me....

can see that u focus on the middle part of the rocks. because only that part is clear, the surrounding is blur


now u can try change focus mode to multi focus and see the difference

for those who have a hard time trying to figure out the camera, my advice is just be patient, spend more time with it, and try to control your shaky hands

anyway some inspiration, quote back my post from nov last year
QUOTE(ZeneticX @ Dec 1 2013, 09:04 PM)
pictures from yesterday AVICII @ Sepang, these are some of the better shots i managed to take

forgot the settings but all of them are manual mode with ISO range from 400 - 1600, except for the firework pic which i took with firework mode

it's very hard to find a suitable setting in a concert when ur near the stage and the lighting keep changing

btw TS lilzany

for the first page, the rooting section. better put a warning for the locked bootloader method, because many fail to do it successfully and result in bootloop. better recommend people to stay at .257 for the time being if wan rooted

and add this photography guide as well for those who can read chinese

http://bbs.gfan.com/android-6782382-1-1.html

simple translation from ChuanHong

QUOTE
FROM ChuanHong

i understand the article.. yes.. mainly the article is sharing about the very basic photography knowledge. can get this from any photography class. Correct - not advance version, but even DSLR ppl also need to know this basic knowledge.

inside it's had explained a lot of features in camera phone and show the different between each feature like focus point, multi-focus, low ISO - high ISO, Metering (centered, average, spot), exposure level. He got explained touch a little bit of the relationship of triangle (ISO, shutter speed and aperture). <- User must know this as well.

**P/M: personally feel normal user must know to adjust ISO, metering in different situation. Exposure level as well.
Short personal tips:
Low ISO - less noice, low shutter speed, high ISO - more noise, faster shutter speed. ISO play quite important thing here. if dont know adjust, just put auto. Some situation u can put ISO 100 in dark environment, but increase exposure to 2. hmm.. need experience by yourself in future.

Metering - Choose vary from objects. If capture landscapre, choose average. If capture like food, 1 item as main object, choose centered metering. If capture night mode with some lighting surrounding, choose spot metering and spot the center point to lighting part, surrounding will become darker. half press to focus and get this metering, back to object and capture.


Important part is the lighting and capture structure. Better lighting, better quality. but need to know where the light enter into your camera. with different light enter angles, different feeling and result will came out. example here, dont try to think can get capture the face of people with backlight situation. this will darker ur object only.

structure here is depend on user art/photography sense. i think if without a best object background and simply capture, of course wont create the nice feeling/quality of photo.

Example: 1. Capture the macro photo (flower with a bee). You have a good object to focus, nice flower as background, result came out better feelings.
2. Take tissue box on your table, put there and capture. Even though u got a object to capture, but hardly to create a correct feeling to people. With indoor lighting, bad background, object (ok).

Must have a well planning and creative idea to get a good photo. Outdoor are always a good background and good lighting condition for us capture better quality and nice feeling to people. After these fulfill, then depend on user photography sense and skills ady..

i've been wondering if should continue use stamina mode or not? isn't always off/on reduce the longevity of the phone? i plan to use it for some time...better still when this CES no new flagship announced. our this thread can lives on for a longer time period  thumbup.gif

why would it reduce longevity ? phone got no life, all the hardware can last you forever provided there is no physical damage


if you're talking about the battery, it should improve its life because it prolongs the battery life, less charging means less wear and tear to the battery

My phone just bricked itself again.

But now, I didn't do anything. Left it aside to charge, and at the same time the screen was on.

Suddenly screen off, I thought it went to sleep.

Pressed power button, nothing. Thought it hanged, gave POWER + VOL UP, no response, reset hardware button none as well. DAFUQ

lol bro.... hope its not because of the cable. there's once a member who killed his phone because of the cable

QUOTE(arrowhead7372 @ Jan 9 2014, 06:43 PM)
How? What cable?

magnetic charging cable. i think its cheap oem version from china. cause is maybe due to short circuit.

see lor what to tell whistling.gif

but then, it's still able to 'charge' just that it's bricked or something. idk wei. when connected to PC, can hear the phone connect-disconnect-connect-disconnect. waffakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
*
or maybe its a defect from your last service.... not really the magnetic cable fault. sometimes when phones return from warranty, will have problems because the service centre didn't fix it properly

maybe you can use this as a reason tongue.gif

QUOTE(cheebc @ Jan 9 2014, 06:52 PM)
wow, i'm using the cap ayam one as well, think I might just get the ori one from Aliexpress, dont wanna take the risk.

all the magnetic charging cable out there, i don't think there's any of them which is ori. sony never release a magnetic charging cable as accessory

your best ori alternative is to dismantle your charging dock and use that cable
