My camera's not too bad

[QUOTE=Kaabii;38960114]That camera is best compared to the 4th gen iPod Touch that takes 960x720 photos. How could they fuck up so badly. There has been basically NO improvement in cameras on Nexus devices since the Nexus S.
Oh and he's obviously a troll.[/QUOTE]
I still feel like the camera inside the N4 could do better. Is there any device with the same camera sensor out there (for comparison)? I'm [del]thinking[/del] hoping there's a software side to it (bad drivers or the camera.apk itself, kernel related setting or whatever else) which Google fucked up, but is still partially fixable.
Holy fuck, Chrome is making me jizz.

I'm testing SwiftKey now, I like how it detects what language I'm typing in and uses that so I don't have to switch between English and Finnish. Holy fuck it's fast to type like this.
Mother of god, these people must be idiots.

Just got my Nexus 7, no idea what to do with all my homescreen space though. Any ideas?
You don't have to fill it up but add widgets all over the place.

You're wrong, it's the Exynos 4412.

[QUOTE=loophole;38960268]I wish my phone had Glonass. I guess it is because my phone is US only. I have no idea what it would change, but it sounds cool.[/QUOTE]
GLONASS is basically in all newer phones, and works when GPS reception isn't good enough (determined by the GPS module).

To be fair image noise is never good but film grain or grain added in post production can add to a photo if done right but yea in the context of nexus 4 camera, it will always be bad.
Color noise is awful, luminance noise isn't so bad and can sometimes look good. Cheaper sensors cause a significant amount of both especially at high ISO speeds.
Woo it's 12:49 here so that means it's midnight, and as my girlfriend was here I got to open my presents from her at exactly 12:00 (I am an impatient manchild)
That phone case I was talking about a while ago, it's PERFECT
does anybody ever feel like that? when you find an product or item that just ticks every little box in your head, it just feels so SATISFYING TO OWN IT

You're just as wrong. It's a dual core Snapdragon S4.

???
I was pretty sure the US Note 2 used Exynos 4412 with MDM9x15 modems.

Oh fuck I'm an idiot, yes, the NA GS3 always uses MSM8960.

I just noticed that with the new YouTube update, my tf101 does not have a fullscreen option when it has the dock attached. wat.

Yea they somehow forgot to put that back in, I went to factory default so I could have my fullscreen.
I love how people in /r/android trash HTC as literally Hitler and then when someone does a giveaway of some HTC devices everyone jumps on it.
[editline]24th December 2012[/editline]
For some reason I'm talking a lot about HTC, but I think it's directly proportional to the amount /r/android hates on it.
Walked around Best Buy today just playing with macs, windows 8 machines, and android tablets.
SO glad I got my Nexus 7. It feels so much more fluid than all these others.

Try looking at local phone stores.

none of them have them
[QUOTE=altern;38950238]anyone here use T-Mobile in the us? how good is the reception and speed and support and all that jazz?[/QUOTE]
It all depends on where you're located, living near Chicago I get a solid 8-9 mbps at my house, and it gets faster when actually going into the city or any area with new towers. As for reception I get around 3 bars of signal when I'm in the basement with my galaxy nexus, and the support isn't all that bad. At least they're not like ATT that try to pair you with new services and cable subscriptions when you just want to activate a sim card, which you don't have to do with T-Mobile. They just activate it on the spot.
Great, I think my keyboard is DOA
Plugs in, charges, gets detected, Trackpad is fine, keys are dead, RMA TIME!
Well, I got my Transformer Infinity, added Nova and a few apps (like kindle, flipboard, and swiftkey). Since I'm new to tablets, is there anything specific i should download?
Ordered my Nexus 7 off of Newegg and a Roku LT, finally I can ditch the MHL adapter I've been using with my phone!
I have my galaxy S3 and it's awesome :dance:
Also out of interest I plugged my PS2 controller into it with an OTG cable via a USB adapter I've been using to play emulators on the PC and it worked!
Does anyone here own a droid 2 with the 4.5.622 update? I got the verizon R2D2 droid 2 from my uncle (his old phone) and i plan to gift it to a friend, but not before rooting and getting CM on it.
She's never had a smartphone, so i don't want her to have the shit user experience that is motoblur.
So far no root method i've tried has worked, they all seem to stop somewhere midway no matter what USB connection mode it's in. USB debugging is on, and works because the script for the first one i tried successfully got it into the bootloader after i ran it, but didn't do shit past that.
PM me if you can help out
Posting from my new nexus 7! Merry Christmas everyone.

Except for the quick reply box, but that's not a big deal.
