Galaxy S4 Panorama is king - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Don't know if anyone knows this but on the Galaxy S4 you can do endless panoramas. That can't be done with my Note II or my new LG Optimus G Pro. They only let you take like 4 or 5 shots and then it pieces them together but the S4 goes until you stop. This was great on my trip to DC last week. The Panoramas came out awesome.

I noticed that aswell.

cool, i didnt even know, thanks

Which do you like more the galaxy S4 or your Optimus G Pro?

It's a feature of AOSP 4.2 called photo sphere. CM10.1 has it too.

Tough one. I would say I am really liking the LG except for the back button location. Right now the S4 is the one I am using but that is because I don't have a case our screen protector for the LG yet.
Funny thing though, the LG Geekbench 2 scored a 2300 vs the S4's 3200.

I haven't been able to do "endless" panoramas, but a full 360 degrees anyway. I'd like the Photosphere feature from stock Android rather than the somewhat hard to follow onscreen guide of the Samsung. Another plus of the Photosphere is that that immersive viewing function when you look at your panoramas in Google+.

how about the GPS?
is fast locking system? when using GPS
Well the gps is horrible on the galaxy s or at least it used to be because they were supposed to use skyhook I think but Google disallowed it. My buddies galaxy s won't even gps lock most of the time. I'd go with the optimus. But like they said the galaxy s is a much better performer in everything except gps.

Specs are fantastic, quad core CPU ticking at 1.4 GHz, included stylus pen, etc.

maybe a 12mp camera??
Cant wait to see what it does. For me the bigger the screen the better. Cause i really dont mind having it in my laptop bag or in my hand all the time. Used to run a weird european rom that made me have the phone app on my galaxy tab 7". Now with the Note its the perfect size. But it could have the specs of the S3 i would enjoy the speed.

Phone size will be the same, screen size will be increased. It is obvious, hardware buttons will be gone, replaced with soft onscreen buttons. So more space for fullscreen videos, browser, etc... i hope the resolution is also increased and better screen manufacturing. Better camera with optic stabilization would be awesome! Probably DAC sound chip is replaced, from s3 or new, because current from s2 is piece of ****

The Missing Photo Sphere / Samsung Orb

In the retail firmware the 360º photo sphere is deleted by samsung.
What do you think the reason guys?
Maybe there is patent related thing? I'm sure the hardware is more than capable to take photo sphere.

I have had the AOSP version (photosphere) on my nexus s since 4.2.2 came out. If this phone can handle it surely the s4 can.
It really is more of a novelty feature anyway. Don't get me wrong it is pretty cool, but it is something that I can count the number of times on one hand that I've used it. Most of those times were just to show how it works to people. It is not a feature that I will miss. YMMV...

Photosphere is actually a Nexus exclusive thing. It's not even included in the source code for AOSP.
That's why you don't see the photosphere on CyanogenMod.
So Samsung is developing their own photosphere and they are making it exclusive for Note 3 first.
Yeah I know that. Same reason that the nexus swype style keyboard doesn't come with vanilla AOSP. I had to install both of those separately. Most people just associate nexus devices with AOSP

Goodbye S4...

I know most of you won't care, but I want to say goodbye to my S4, all of you on the AT&T Galaxy S4 forum and Samsung in general.
I won't be buying another Samsung phone until they finally realize that they need to badly optimize their software. I am finally sick and tired of the lag and slowdowns on this phone regardless of rom and kernel combination. And the Note 3 videos show the signature Touchwiz ui lag once again, snapdragon 800, 3gb of ram and all.
I will be getting my LG G2 on Tuesday and will be selling my S4. Good luck to you all it has been real and there are a lot of great people here! Hope to see you all again one day.

Umm, are you serious? You base your statement on what? I bought a LG Optimus G Pro for extremely cheap to check out the LG software and ui and then I flipped it for a profit.
There was zero lag. As in none that I could find. And look at the videos of the G2. The thing looks screaming fast and can only be faster than he Optimus G Pro with the Snapdragon 800. That is scary to think about because the Optimus G Pro is scary fast.
Compare that to the Note 3 videos and you can see lag all over the ui which is standard for Samsung lately.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
I ran an LG OGP numerous times before getting the S4. No lag--I just didn't like the 5 inch size. Good Luck--
Still say the s4 is better and nicer. The screen is outstanding and mine with the mf3 update works great. Every android phone lags a little. Also 4.3 is coming to the s4 in October because they need to update it for it to work with the new smartwatch.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
To each their own. Before owning the S4 and note 2 I had the optimus G and with the S4 pro CPU and andreno 320 GPU the phone was very fast and fluid. LG has been stepping their game up IMO.

Thanks bro, but 32gb is plenty for me. I put several albums on locally that I really want on my phone and then use Google Music for the rest of my collection. And I don't put or watch movies on my phone.
But as you know, everyone has different needs. I can't wait for this phone, I think I will enjoy it based on early reviews and videos.

Hmm that's funny because my touchwiz rom doesn't lag after some simple optimization and my cpu even goes down to 81mhz, in fact its snappy as hell.
P.S. Have fun with LG, the worst quality electronics company ever. With a list of horrible products in recent and past history I could make a whole forum about.

[REQ] Better câmera app

Hi friends,
The only thing that I dont like in my moto X is a câmera app.
I want an app like the "focal câmera" from cyanogem. But the focal câmera of playstory have a lot of bugs.
There is a app with more functions than stock ?

The ONE thing that Samsung has done well, the camera and camera software. Just in the last 6 months I have went from an S3 to HTC Droid Dna and now on the Moto X and I have to say, the S3 camera was FAR superior to any phone I have had in the past(I have had a lot of phones). The wife has as S4 and it is absolutely amazing. I will say though, I prefer the Moto X camera over the rest.
