Can anyone comment on the stereo microphone hi gain clipping problem that was apparent in the stock 2.3.4 camcorder? Has that problem been fixed with the Amaze camera?
Thanks!

That problem is here. I believe it is because this is still Sense 3.0 Camera... (take into consideration the Amaze comes with Sense 3.0 stock)

Just wondering if this new camera fixes the over sensitive microphone when taking video in loud places ?

I can say that this mod works perfectly on ARHD 4.1.3 with stock kernel, however stock kernel makes that rom lag a lot so its a choice of performance vs camera function until we can get hold of a ZSL kernel driver :(

thank you for the great camera. However, please find some issues:

1. Picture quality is quite low - 600-900 kb photos compared to almost 3 MB with Sense 3.0 and modded camera
2. No bitrate select for 720 p
3. Panorama does not have any options - set maximum number of photos etc
4. HDR quality is surprisingly low - just slightly different compared to normal mode
5. Movie quality is fine, but seems lower than 3.0 camera with same bitrate

anyway compliments for achieving so many features for our stupid cameras :)

thank you very much

How to get better quality photos! (less compression)

The time of "unreal" photos is over!

After made some test, if you uncheck "Auto enhance", at camera options, you will get a clear photo and very detailed.
Obviously, whit this you will get a bigger size photo (usually more than twice)
This used to be a problem whit low light environment!

also can i ask a question, im finding for close up shots the camera focuses really well, but seems to just miss the focal point for things close to the lense, like an inch away, u have to hold it a good distance then zoom, is this the same for others? :confused:

    i know what the HDR

    is there anyone still using stock kernel ??

    this mod should working in any kernel !!

    and what the f*** you did for this community . you keep *****ing and *****ing.

    Is damn explained everywhere.

    With 3.5 htc updated the camera drivers, but we dont have the sources for that, so kernel devs have to work alot to fix it. not even with stock 3.5 camera you cant have burst mode or panorama when using custom kernel

    mate i suggest you get a nokia
