[Q] camera quality? Want to buy today online

Hey guys. Tmo has this phone online for free, but the web only offer ends today. I'd like to buy it, but just need to know about the camera quality to replace our recently lost camera. My wife will only let me get it if I assure her we won't have to buy a separate camera. This would be our first android phones, though I have an Acer iconia a500 tablet.
How is the picture quality? Is it slow to snap like some of the honeycomb tablets? Does it have a flash?
How is the video capture quality?
Can someone post a sample picture and video clip here?
As I said, the free web offer ends today, so if the camera quality is good, I want to order them tonight.
Thanks,
EB
PS. Is music playing quality good too? My wife will be using it to replace her mp3 player that just died.

What phone? Did you read the specs? Most any phone with a 5mp+ camera should take really nice photos.

Sorry. The t-mobile g2x. Isn't this the correct forum for that phone?
The cnet review said the picture quality didn't meet their standards. Guess I'm looking for confirmation.

An 8mp camera should give you great pictures, and it records 1080p video. You can always use 3rd party camera apps too. Sounds like a good deal if they are free, imo.

Th G2x camera is pretty disappointing. There are a number of threads around here discussing the issue. I don't think you should choose this phone if the camera is a real priority.
Music playing is excellent, better than most.

Thanks for the info.. I was just about to order them online, but like the saying goes.. they screw you in the drive-thru.
I was thinking the Free web-offer (exp today) with the 49.99/line for 2 lines plan was an awsome deal. However, it seems you can't get that plan online, only in the stores, and you can't get the free web offer in the store..

If want to get a new phone, the way I've found is to go and look in a store. Use one, play with it, move on to the next. Try them all if needed. Then if you can find a better deal for the one you want online, you know exactly which one to order.

No, of course not. I was just trying to help.
Carry on.

LOVE my g2x camera, it's amazing. (with the back cover off, lol)
But a few modifications to the battery cover fixed that 3:-}

For what its worth consumer reports actually rated the G2X as having the best smartphone camera.
http://pressroom.consumerreports.or...-match-stand-alone-devices-in-many-respe.html
Mine takes fantastic photos. Haven't done much with videos but the still shots are awesome considering they were taken WITH A PHONE!!! Lol
Here are a couple I've taken with mine. The 2 cloud photos were taken with my G2X and then edited on the phone with Picsay Pro.

Nice shots!
I wonder if Consumer Reports still feels the same way after the GB update.
I'm not trying to bash the phone here, I honestly think the G2x camera is flawed. On mine every still photo is kind of blurry or soft focused, and with an overall hazy tint. Video at both 1080 and 720 suffers from obvious block pixelization, the more motion in the scene the worse the image appears. I have tried cleaning the glass on both sides of my cover and observed very little difference in still images.
If I'm not mistaken there was at least one thread here where this was discussed. Also, the consensus from those who have both seems to be that the Sensation has many flaws, but it's camera provides superior images to the G2x's.
ETA:It looks like I have grease or something on the lens in this video, but I didn't. I must confess I don't remeber if I was using the GB OTA camera or the 1.5 LG cam from this forum. I can say I haven't seen any better video out of my phone since I got it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNyepSKmyuI

You're holding it wrong

I've been telling people this for years - remove that glass on the battery cover! Its like a dirt magnet. Never understood why you would put glass over a camera lens... I'm using an exented battery without the camera lens glass cover. The pictures are night and day.

Trying to delete this post - XDA Prem App has gone loco.

Thanks for posting the consumer reports link. More proof that LG ripped us all off, whether or not we all realize it.
CS is praising the feature set of the G2x camera as much or more than anything else. Those features disappeared with the "update"

Yea I have to agree with you here. The camera app in Froyo was very nice and very useful at the same time. Too bad they didn't support it with their gingerbread release. Granted the camera app in 2.3.3 is more in line with their marketing the phone as vanilla android, but it does feel like they removed a feature, or at least downgraded it.

What should I do now with my crappy?

Well I upgraded to the sgsII. But I have mixed feelings about what to do with my trusty cappy. No one in my family wants it and none of my friends around here have atnt...
I dont know if I should sell it or keep it as a backup. It seems like just a waste to leave it sitting around in the box. Besides it's basically a brand new phone (2 week old 11.02 built/refurb) Never has been messed with. (Roms) No blemishes or marks at all. No sleep death or gps issues. I just got it replaced due to a crappy gps.
Should I be able to get at least $200 for it if I got the ebay route? I have everything it came with plus a otter box commuter.

ebay the puppy or donate it to a DEV .;-)

Does it mean they fixed GPS issues in newer/refurb captivates? Could you confirm what build is safe, or what to look for? I might pick one up for mom.

same situations except mines is older. mine just sits on my desk. thinking about using it like an ipod touch or something. how much would this go for anyway if we were to sell? no one has answered that except to give it to them for free.

Sorry man they run around 150-200ish. Yours with case prolly 180. Wasn't stallin or beggin just figured you could checkout ebay and craigslist yourself to find out what they are selling for.
Steve

sides most of us was suggesting someone we have no personal contact with or knowledge of other than the excellent work done to make the captivate a better phone,,and done without one

ebay is your best bet.

You can mail it to watsa so he can keep developing captivate roms

It's a refurb that I got 2 weeks before this posting. 10.12 built.
Ive been trying ebay with a $200 buy it now. comes with everything, and a otterbox commuter etc.
Only people that seem to be bidding are from Russia, Ukrian. They have fake ebay accounts with us address but they cannot checkout thru a non us paypal. It' seems to be a 99% scam. I might post it here in the market if this continues to happen. I hate it. I even have like size 7 font in red telling them not to bid etc lol

I would really love to see a developer that makes a media player rom. Basically what I'm thinking of is an ipod touch like u.i. so I can keep my cappy around as an awesome storage device/mp3 player/wifi only browser after my upgrade.

There is a thread somewhere that does that very thing. I think it was called Captivate Touch.

Just give it to LOSTLOGIC. All in favor?

talk to josh from mobile tech videos. he was looking for a captivate a while back to do videos with. im sure you guys could come to some kind of agreement.

New AT&T Atrix 2 User.

Hi! I just bought yesterday an Unlocked Atrix 2 from AT&T, it came with Android 2.3.6 (55.13.25.MB865,ATT.en.US) Pure stock, not rooted, brand new.. My question is.. What should i know about this device? Is it Getting an official OTA of ICS soon? I don't want to root it yet, i'd like to receive official ICS Update via OTA, then root and play with it. I'm in argentina, and sometime while surfing the web with 4G i lose network connection and reconnects itself after a few secs, someone has experienced that? The Screen is a little yellowish all over white colours, normal too or what? Thanks A2 Users!

Hi. And, welcome to the community..
It's a good device, but it has a locked bootloader which prevents us from installing truly custom roms or custom kernels. But, as you will notice, the guys around here can do some pretty cool stuff with what limited capabilities we've got. (The unlock you are referring to is the subsidy unlock for different carriers, I assume).
Yes, depending on your definition of soon, the official ICS is coming soon-ish (my guess is august for the at&t us builds). And simply rooting, should have no impact on receiving or installing the official ota update - it's the other stuff you do with root that screws up the install of the ota - but we have ways to fix up your system for the ota..
Never been to Argentina, but I have experienced bad data connections depending where I'm at.
The yellowish color is not normal. At least mine doesn't look yellow. And since yours came stock 2.3.6 (most come 2.3.5 out of the box), and it's sim is unlocked, so it may be refurbished or slightly used.. not sure what causes the yellow.. do you have a screen guard that discolors it?
Hope that helps. Good luck with everything.

I've never noticed a "yellow" tint, but I do have some darkish blotches in the center of where my keyboard would appear that may be from mashing the screen too hard while angry texting crazy girls...

Wow! So many replies in just Minutes.. Thanks a lot, i feel confortable asking here now. First of all its Sim Unlocked, you can use it with any carrier. About "Yellowish" tint all over, is hard to tell when it is noticeable, for example, when you surf in Google Play, while loads the screen of a selected app, you can see the background the yellowish tint is a bit noticeable, also in Wifi settings and others, but colors in photos and everything is perfectly normal.. Probably i'm a bit daltonic or paranoid. I'm happy to know that our phone will have ICS in August, i think the wait will worth, i saw Droid Razr running ICS and, OMG so smooth, so perfect..! The only i complain about is about the stock browser, wich provides a laggy experience -.- but overall performance is good! I like the build quality, its a very good looking phone, looks very professional and feels like a premium phone. Not like the cheap plastics Samsung GS2 i own, it feels like a toy compared to A2! I'm uploading photos of the phone right now.

I agree, it feels like a good quality piece of hardware. Oh, and August was just my guess, the official word from Moto is Quarter 3, which goes until like late September I think.. so who actually knows..
As for browsers, yup, the stock GB browser is horrible in my opinion also.. I'm sticking with Boat Browser - keeps getting updates and getting better. Also, Firefox is available for GB, and for ICS, you can get Chrome (but it's still pretty bare bones - plus the stock ics browser uses chrome parts I believe..). Just try a few out, and you'll find a nice replacement browser...

Is that Clean Master the Anti Virus or cache cleaner?

i wouldnt mind rooting mine, but i bought it retail so i could try out the phone and return it before the return policy ... im that guy. but nonetheless i will probably get it in a little bit with my plan since i am on a business plan. But when not rooted, battery it looks like, compared to those that are, just cannot compare. I am barely squeezing 4 hours of screen time on a charge that will last me all day. I would hope to do a little bit better.
Today i went from 10am and it is now 415pm. i am at 66% with 1 hour and 40 mins screen time ... personally, that's pretty ehhh My nexus 5 with Android L got better than that. sooooo anyone else that IS NOT rooted getting the same results as me or doing a lot better or worse??

That's about what I was getting before I switched to ART. Phone seems to run cooler on ART too.

I can confirm that phone runs hot when screes has been on for a while

Not rooted
Running Greenify
Auto-brightness at 60%
Always on: WiFi, BT, push everything
I am considering root to remove some apps and kill CIQ, and perhaps change the resolution all in an effort to get more out of the battery but I am not sure I will squeeze too much more out of it.

Checking on 5G and LTE speeds with T-Mobile

Got my phone today and really like the feel, features etc.
Working with the camera now to see how its working...
Biggest issue is 5G, coming from OnePlus 8 and get speeds in my house that keep getting faster.
But Edge is struggling! Motorola Engineers are looking in to it.
Anyone else having issues?

Stupid question from Germany...does the Edge works on 5G since the beginning in the US?
In Germany we're still waiting for the patch.

Edge is my only 5G device so don't have anything to compare it to, but here in Phoenix here is what I'm getting the last few days. Ignore the really bad one, that was at my in-laws place which for whatever reason has been really bad always and I'm thankful to have anything at all. Even though these speeds are plenty for my usage, it kind of stinks to think I might have even better speeds with a different device.

I haven't activated 5G yet but it doesn't seem to improve speed much on this phone. I think I'll save the $$ until Motorola addresses it.

Today I set my edge to prefer LTE and ran speed test then right back to 5g for test. The LTE in my area is much slower, so 5g does make a difference here. 48 vs 15 download speed as shown in screenshot

I see, in this case, I guess it's relative. It must be a location thing. The speeds I'm getting are more than enough for all my uses.
Edit: I know these were all done together but this is what I get at any time of the day or night generally.

I've never come close to 100 Mbps ever with any phone in my area, I wouldn't bother worrying about 5g either at this time.

Speeds improved today Tmobile said tower work was being done in my area...
I am in N Peoria but yesterday was 1st day driving around with this phone and it was all over the place in speed and some areas 4G was faster
So for now its really address specific.

Didnt notice mine till I watched a YouTube today and the kid said the case was super loose by the power button and sure enough I checked and its really bad.
Anyone seen any leather cases ?
Something like this open and easy
ALso anyone getting this when you do a voice search?
I am getting it once to twice a day...
Still working on Gcam pics

Nice what part of Tempe because Sat was over by the Pointe i10 and Elliott and it was average about 40 mbps.
Got to like that 114 better!

Yeah same area but think the 114 still gives hope!
I would still DM them on twitter just to see what they say.

Here is my Speed on T-Mobile in Chicago.

That was with the Released Chrome Version with the Google Speed Test Website.
