WM Camera Verse Android

[bilago]

Ok so I keep feeling that this question is being ignored but I think we might be able to fix this annoying low FPS problem on the Kaiser. Many are convinced that the actual camera hardware is causing this low FPS problem or that the lack of 3d drivers is the culprit.

If this is the common consensus then tell me, why when i Boot into Android the Camera FPS is 1000 times better. (of course using the camera is still buggy) If Android's protocol or what ever you call it to access the camera can increase the performance tri-fold, why can't we achieve this same effect on Windows Mobile?

You can make the windows mobile camera as fast as android... here's the trick:

- Start your camera.
- When you get image, lay you cellphone on your hand, covering the lens completly.
-switch off the cellphone (press 1 time the power button, not hold it)
- wait 3 seconds.
- press power buttin again (wake up)

you'll get a camera as fast as in android, with extremely fast auto-focus, but very dark.

Plus agains android:
-Auto focus
-correct color hue
-full focus length (i think android is limited)

Plus agains WM:
-No mambo jambo to get this (start camera app and you're set.)
-Manual Focus (comes handy some times)

You choose....

I am more then aware of this "fix" of covering the lens, however I dont consider that a fix more than a work around.

Also, does not work while Slide to unlock is enabled.

What I'm asking is why can this work without covering the lens in Android but not in WM?

What resolution is the Android camera app set for?

I've noticed that turning down the resolution on the WM camera gives me better FPS.

(or is that just my imagination?)

placebo... at least on my side :)

bilago, my thoughts exacltly! Is it possible to program a new camera app for kaiser which increase the FPS? or maybe some plugin or fix! or Maybe its ignoreable for developers coz they are concentrating on more important stuff? :)

But when your not a programmer yourself, its not fair to just ask for something, not thinking of all the hard work involved! So lets just keep hoping!
