Hey all...
I am thinking of replacing my droid 2 global with a captivate. The only thing holding me back is the lack of a flash. Does anyone have any feedback on both indoor and outdoor shooting with the captivate? Does the camera suffer with no flash?
Feel free to post a sample if you like.
Thanks

I am not a professional photographer by any means, but I personally don't miss not having a flash. My old phone had one so I thought it was a feature I would miss, but it takes great pictures in fairly low light. Of course if it's dark out, you're screwed, but I think it does pretty well without one in most other situations, IMHO.
Yeah that's kinda the answer I have been getting.
Mu Droid 2 global sucks big time...and it has the flash!
I'd rather have an ever-so-slightly darker picture than a completely washed-out-by-the-flash picture any day of the week

GAlarm has a great background when the alarm is up. Sadly, it is not available. So I was wondering if anyone had any backgrounds they currently use as the backdrop for their alarm. My phone background is way too busy, and a black screen is so boring.
How about this one?

Shameless bumping I am a fan of phone backgrounds in general.
Are you more concerned with the image you fall asleep too, or the one you wake up too? If that makes sense...I realize it'll be that same pic, it's all about the mood, I guess.
I found a nice little app called "lightning bug" that is a nice sleep enhancement device,
Customizable backrounds, ambient sounds etc..

My images were 640x480. However, I did just find one of them on the following page and it has some higher resolutions:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-wallpaper-ringtone-tutorial
What is the recommended resolution for a captivate wallpaper?
All Galaxy S/Captivate (others like Nexus 1/S, and more) should use 960x800 wallpapers for best results.
Hi xda just a general question is it just me or does the camera's autofocus is pretty crap. When the I am about to.take a picture but before the picture is taken and the shutter button is pressed a little bit the image quality becomes amazing but when the picture is taken the quality sucks

Also the quality is the best when led is on

Can you explain that a little more? How do you test that?

SO what I am basically saying is that camera quality becomes really good when the camera is autofoucusing but it gets worse when he camera is about to take picture. Also I would post a picture taken from the cellphone

Image with flash

Image without flash
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
From a purely "mechanics of photography" standpoint, the image with flash will have a much faster shutter speed while the picture without flash the shutter is open longer & more susceptible to to camera shake. What about a picture taken outside with good lighting & no flash? Does that produce an acceptable picture?
I will try that later

Anyone out there know if our devices will reach the mass they had in the 80's? It seems every new phone with nice specs is BIG. I may have to go without the dual processors and front face cam and stick with the reasonably sized DInc.
this is not a joke. I really am wondering. 4" + screens are nice but...
What kind of devices, from 80th you say? What features were those devices? Then correct to compare the modern devices to computers 80th, but not phones.
I wish that could happen but don´t think so....
I remember the great dimensions of the great HTC Universal!

I know a lot of people have pink/yellow tint or weird green shades. Does mine look okay? Full brightness with gray background and white.

I wouldnt risk trading it in. Unless there something super annoying isnt showing up in the pic, ide keep it. Theres a much higher chance you will get sonething worse

It has a ever so slight pink tint but it's certainly not worth getting replaced as you could get one which is worse. I have got much worse than yours and would definitely keep that

To me it looks pretty good. I wouldnt risk trading it personally. Im on my 6th phone and its bout the same as yours. Ive had much, much worse.
So I live near Harrisburg but I was driving from NJ, while listening to Sheppard Smith coverage the eclipse with amazing satire, I waited till it got closest for me to photo it. So I pulled over on the highway and I couldn't be anymore great ful that it was high clouds in the area.
So I rolled down my window around 2:40 pm to get a few shots while a cirrocumulus cloud was under the eclipse.
So without further ado... Here are the photos using the minimum light possible (low iso)

Nice... I tried to take several, with both the selfie camera and the main camera, and all I got was a ball of light no matter what I did. I am in Bismarck, ND, and we got 85% coverage but you couldn't tell from any of the pictures. Not even gonna bother to upload them.
Looks really cool
Awesome! You know what else came with the eclipse? Oreo! I knew I would get it on my 6P before the pure got nougat. I did take the pure for some eclipse photos. I figured if the camera burned out no real loss ?. Here is a pic of the total.
