Anyone here tried using a 16Gb Micro SDHC for the tube yet? Does it work well with one another?

and another quick question.. anyone here tried using class 6 SDHC? is it really noticeably faster?

Actually it depends which shop you go. I bought from my friend's shop he said his batch is the new batch without problems and its true.. Mine got no defects. So yeah new batches should be okay.. the problem comes when the shop keep old stock

From the phone itself can format

Apps > File Manager > Memory Card > Memory Card Options > Format

Come come those of you whom haven't bought the tube yet, let me poison you...


Who says that the camera quality on the Nokia 5800 sucks?


I just love to take macro shots with the tube <3


This shot not enough lighting but you can see how sharp it captures the details


Look at the dust.. haha thats how sharp the camera is.


The white balance of this picture seems a bit off.... oh well nvm


Master Chief reporting for duty!! Yes, the tube has an excellent auto focus feature.


I'm not very good with outdoor lighting yet but here's a try. Well thats not my car but I was asked to drive it from the showroom to somewhere... damn seriously syiok to drive a latio.


and YES.. ALL taken on the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. No photoshop work on the photos except to resize the images (all taken at 3mp)..

actually the camera can take good shots.. all you need is to know how to control the settings

@ tachlio

Actually the technique is very simple.

1) MOST IMPORTANT. Set your ISO to low. If you set it to auto confirm got lots of noise. Auto ISO should only be used when there is low lighting.

2) Golden Rule of Photography - Always have enough light. Always.

3) Set the correct scene mode. The tube has several scene modes and each of them gives special advantages depending on what type of shot you are doing. My macro shots were taken using the 'Close Up' feature.

4) Press half way and ALWAYS wait till the camera focus (the reticule turns green). The phone will also beep when it turns green.

5) Steady Hands. The camera button for the tube is a bit plastic-ish. The button tactile response is not that good so a lot of times after pressing half way then wanna press to shoot, the camera will shake. So you have to train your finger la

Another trick you can do with the tube.

COLOR TONE <--- w00t


Normally phones have black & white / negative / sephia

The tube has one extra one which is called Vivid. Wanna see what vivid does?


Look at how colourful the objects become. Take note, the items are not actually that bright in colour but with the vivid mode turned on, the colours are even more enhanced!


This technique can be used to take lomo style photos

haha yeah that is what it is supposed to do... make the colours vivid!

but actually this mode is only to take artistic type of photos la. not really practical to take normal photos.

Hey guys I wanna ask a... what colour plectrum did you get with your tube? I bought my Avaxx red tube but got an ugly grey plectrum.. anyone wanna sell or swap their red plectrum?

It looks like a guitar pick that is given with the phone. Actually it is used as a stylus.

The cheapest I found in lowyat is RM1280 Zitron set but it is only for blue colour.

You wishhhhhhh

btw ur doing the right thing by not doing ur 'magic' because I feel we are really taking away their rezeki. After all, we ourselves found the 'alternative' by ourself so we are responsible for our own actions. Uncle Google is always the best place to ask.


Btw reference for those who want to knw

Garmin Mobile XT = USD$99.90
Garmin Malaysia/Singapore City Navigator NT Map = USD129.90 (But we usually urge people to use the free maps of MFM or MSM)

To be honest, I am now a map collector
I managed to find all the Garmin official Malaysia maps

The map is not up to date. My house is not in the map at all... but there is one version quite good. The South East Asia City Navigator NT this combines all countries in SEA and it includes Thailand so those driving up north can use that but that map is even more expensive.

Is Japan that big?

Our whole malaysia + singapore on MFM is only 40mb

Btw I posted this in some other forums but I think it is only fair if I share with my fellow tubians here. Those who want a Chinese version of Garmin Mobile XT v5.00.40 you can download it here..

Download!

Maybe some of you might need it... I dunno.

The interface looks like this:

I love their maps too..

I have tried

MFM v1.46
MSM v2.30b gold
Garmin Malaysia/Singapore City Navigator NT

MFM still the more updated one

Bro how bad is the light leakage? Actually if under the light you don't see it, that is not light leak. Yes in pitch black dark we can see the light leak but the real people who face light leak can see it even in broad daylight. Is yours that bad?




Btw I have mentioned this before in the previous thread. The gap there is actually for heat ventilation that is why u see the light leak. If it is tight shut your phone is gonna heat up like a hot air baloon

When u ask them to fix light leakage they won't replace you a cover. What they do is tighten the screw that holds the cover then making the gap smaller. Actually the hole there is meant for the media button's light to disperse heat. If u look carefully in it, u will see the gap is just for the media button part. If they can seal it out they already did that in production

U look carefully in the gap u will see the hole is nicely cut just for the xpressmusic media button. The size is too precise for it to be a mistake

Guys I just found this out. If u tap the part of your screen in between your battery and your operator logo, it will prompt 2 things. Got these cross arrows and the time. You click the cross arrows u will be brought to 'Connectivity' and you can turn on stuff like your bluetooth and wifi. Kinda cool shortcut

If I just use EDGE 2G I will still be able to receive my MMS right? What about video calls? If I disable 3G will people still be able to video call me?

The silver lining around the camera will protect the lens cos it is jutting out more

I always put my phone in a pouch. And when I take it out, I put the pouch under the phone. So my silver part still brand spanking new and shiney
