[Q] Have you used your nexus 4 in a concert? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How have you used yor nexus 4 for taking pictures and videos on a concert? How did the videos turn out? could you post some samples? i found this on youtube and was pretty dissapointed , the sound is complete sh*t just like my galaxy nexus :crying: , have you had better luck?
Also were the glasses ok? i remember on the manual it says don't use your nexus 4 on a loud envirement, i only imagine the glass cracking because of the speakers blasting

Anyone ?

It's just as bad as the Galaxy Nexus.

How do you know that was done with a Nexus 4?
It doesnt say anywhere on the video...

it isnt as good an iphone 5 camera but better than g nex. I find taking the picture with HDR helps it out at concerts especially if the lights are flashing and moving around a lot. it will ensure that proper highs are captured since it takes multiple shots and blends them.

I've taken videos with my galaxy s2 international and the sound was absolutely horrible. I don't think mics on cell phones are designed to handle such loud and varying sound. Haven't had an opportunity with my nexus tho but I bet sound sucks.

I did, sound was very bad! So yes, that is the way it is!

I did take my Nexus 4 to a gig and took some pics (not videos). The results were predictably terrible.

It says so in the description on the video when you search for it in YouTube , but not on the video itself when you open it , weird

Camera samples?

Can u guys share some samples ? pictures and hd videos, one of the things im most concerned about atrix aside the glossy plastic body is the camera, my god my milestone's camera is horrible! im so mad that the droid bionic got an 8 mp camera
The camera is ok but not great. Compared to the 8mp one on the inspire it can't touch the inspire. I wouldn't depend on it solely but Like I said its just ok.

I absoluterly DO NOT agree with you. I had 3 inspires (for various reasons) and I thought the camera (like every HTC device I have ever owned) was thoroughly dissappointing, especially the flash. Once you figure out the Atrix camera, its very good. I find you need to push it one stop as it tends to underexpose, but some of the images I have taken have been great.
I also believe the quality is better under 5MP than it is on Widescreen

Yea, seriously...and that was VGA. For real, who cares? In reality I doubt people use their phone camera THAT much, or at least as much as they thought they would. For me it's nice to have one JIC. But overall, I HARDLY use it.

but they have either too much option or not fit for atrix screen res
it's a shame,...
camera is the only downside on atrix imo
leegoon84, try wiping the camera lens glass clean, I suspect you have a finger print or something on it to cause the haze. Also, determine where bright lights are coming from and use your other hand or something to block that light from hitting the camera - put a shadow over the lens.
You have to clean your lens before you take pictures silly willies!

I also wanted to restate that our lens tends to pick up fingerprints like crazy. The haze is mostly due to that issue... it's annoying but just remember to wipe the lens before photos...

Dead Pixel on Camera

I just got my Nexus 4 (16GB) after being in Limbo 2 since Monday and when I got it today and tested the camera, there was a black mark/dot on the camera. It appears on photos and anything that accesses the camera. I've already called up Google and placed an RMA, but I'm curious if anyone else has this issue?

I think it's probably something very small stuck to the glass of the camera. Can camera's even have dead pixels?
take more photos and we can make this into a game of find the black spot!
My phone has a rattling sound when shook, or picked up quick, tapped....
Then... i started focusing with the camera and the camera focusing started to make clicking and locking sounds....
Yeh it doesn't look like a dead pixel. It looks like a speck of dust/dirt..
looks like a dead pixel to me. i had the same on my Galaxy Nexus, but the dot wasnt as big as yours. Proceed with the RMA and get a new one
How about trying to take some reference pictures. Get a sheet of paper with a grid on it and take a photo then give the camera a good (but careful) shake, then take the same photo from the same place and see if it has moved. If so, you know it's dust.
Not sure how that helps cos you can't get at the camera to clean it out. I suspect you'll need to RMA it either way

Pretty much this, except my replacement hasn't shipped out yet it even though I place the order on Monday evening.

Good idea.. HAHAHHAAA xDDD..

Post your pics, home screens, battery life shots etc. Only thread for this stuff!

Here is the place for all those photos, home screenshots, speed and battery stats etc...all others will be closed...this is it! Have fun, be respectful....
Quick question for others about cam that have tried. How are your pics in gallery zoomed in? Mine seems to be blotchy, almost impressionistic when zooming in on taken shots, I thought there was an effect on at first. Worried at the moment as have tested in various light settings. Will post when i get a chance
Edit: seems to be a "raising of expectations" effect. I will test tomorrow in better light. Compared to my note 2 it is winning out by far in low light, which was my test at first
Slesh, have you moved on to the s5? My biggest complaint on the note 2 is the low light capabilities. I'll be interested to hear how this pans out with the camera. I've been due an upgrade for months but just haven't been won over really with any of the new releases..

Man, well this is Def the best camera I've used so far, hands down. Super fast, and really crisp. I'm not a huge photo buff, but i do take the occasional photos. Especially for work purposes.

last night did side by sides with Note 2 and s5 in low light, S5 blew it out of the water. At first I was upset at clarity of s5 in a certain lighting, then tried Note 2 in same scene and saw it was pitch black in that area by comparison. Was like a night vision difference. There still seems however to be a blotchiness/effect it seems going on in pics when I zoom in on the the pics. But it might just be me

Camera (video) suggestions

I like Cabrera on this phone photos with proshot are awesome.
However I've not seen many video camera apps, can you guys share which are your favorite and key features if possible thanks.
I'm using default video capture (on benzo ROM) for now but I've not figured out slow motion setting of camera

Cinema FV-5.... it has a lot of the manual controls that are available from Camera FV-5.. one thing I really like is that you can set it fix focus, then have the volume down set to refocus (or you can tap the screen). This will eliminate the Google Camera's tendency to refocus a little bit too often.
As far slow motion, not sure if there are any 3rd party video apps that'll do that.
To do slow motion on this phone its at the top right, right beside the flash icon. You tap it once for 120 and then again for 240 fps

That's the old version of the Google camera.. Not sure how or why you have that. I'd go update it from here.

I mean, it should've updated itself regardless of being stock or not unless you have auto updates off. But you should see the slow motion option now when in video mode, and you may noticed improve photo quality as well.
Proshot has a video mode with manual controls too.
Filmic Pro is great if you want to use your phone for more serious videos.
Does this phone have the ability to take photos while shooting video. My last phone was a htc max one and it was able to do that.
