sanju_barc 51 Report post Posted September 29, 2012 Hi friends, I have electrify and have feeling that it has worst camera. It is an excellent phone otherwise in its class. Even battery is better than photon. Please suggest some solution for camera improvement. I am still on gb. Whether ics will improve camera. Please share ur experience.

mujeebrehman 78 Report post Posted September 30, 2012 Afaik they both are same and just tht electricfy doesn't have wimax radio. I also agree the picture taken from mopho doesn't look tht great on phone but it improves when you copy it to a pc and view it. Maybe it has something to do with the pentile matrix display.

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) ^^^^^^ Yes... The photos taken using Photon's camera is pretty BAD, when seen on PC screen... But it will be awfully fugly on its PentileLCD display... Even the videos that look lovely on EPIC (AMOLED-Pentile) and Incredible-2 (LCD) looks fugly in Photon's PentileLCD screen.. Thats why I changed my Photon in one month to CapGlide (Samsung AMOLED)... Edited September 30, 2012 by KanagaDeepan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

::: VA ::: 531 Report post Posted September 30, 2012 I am planning to get my hands on lapdock 100. Its selling for 50$ on verizon retail stores. Part of clearance sale. It would be great to enjoy tapatalk, whats app, gtalk on ten inch. Reading my ebooks would be easier too. Photon will become charming all over once again.

::: VA ::: 531 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 Wait for the stock ota ics. Flashing custom rom would stop the ability. Unless you revert to original. Btw you get best deals on most electronics in usa. Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 If they can give a legitimate reason for this, I'm all ears. They surely cannot blame the hardware as the specs are still respectable - Dual core tegra 2, 1Gb RAM... It's a good thing that I sold my MoPho last month.

kundalus 24 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 To me it seems as if there is a halt in entire Android development in last few months. So many phones on GB which were expected to have ics soon are all delayed for some or the other reason. won't be surprised if Motorola and HTC will make similar announcements for many other phones. May be there is something cooking up.... Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cooladitya007 41 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 i guess its nothing else but their business policy. if they update the android version of mobile like photon i think user dont need to upgrade to a new mobile for atleast 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 It is very BAD as Photon has received NO SINGLE Major Android OS update.. It came with GB and died with GB.. I can remember Google saying "each capable Android phone will minimum get 3 major OS updates" and now they (via their sister concern Motorola) has NOT even given SINGLE MAJOR OS update, even though the phone is very very more capable... Eg: AT&T Captivate Glide [with same Tegra2 + 1GB RAM] of Samsung received ICS update [via kies only though + more buggy, but still] and further ICS + TouchWiz is much much heavier than (wrt resources) Moto's latest ICS skin... Hence hardware can never be blamed here... Even though operators are the main culprits here, I hate to see Motorola behaving like operators's b!tch, comparing to Samsung and HTC...
