When do we get our camera quality back ?

Hi
Do you know why I bought 2 Lumia 925 units ?
It is because I saw the photo quality on my friends Lumia 920 !
Very sharp pictures with true colors - really incredibly good.
My Lumia 925 units did however not offer the same quality.
- My friends 920 did not have AMBER when I saw his pictures
- My 925 came with Amber installed ex-factory
My friends 920 got the AMBER update some time after I purchased my 925 units
- And now he lost his picture quality too - AMBER degraded the picture quality !
Now we both have the BLACK updates installed (on 920 and 925 units)
The picture quality of the 920 prior to AMBER did not come back !
Hence my questions:
- What happened with camera/picture quality in the AMBER update ?
- Can this dreadful degradation of picture quality be undone ? How ? When ? By whom ?
Anyway, I cannot go on with my 925 units this way.
I bought them because of the said Nokia/Camera quality which is absolutely not present.
My guess is that something very wrongly changed in the jpg-processing of AMBER.

Pre-Black the Camera  algorithms made for more saturated colours. While you say you perceived those as more real they are in fact not. It's much like a lot of people today when doing a blind test seem to still prefer the sound from vinyl records over CD because it's perceived warmer while it is in fact much more coloured.
The current settings actually produce more natural and real colours. Since the JPGs are generally of fairly good quality you can use tools such as paint.net to adjust them more to your liking.

  • How to get my camera roll back from iCloud?

    I restored my iPhone and now I need to get my camera roll back from iCloud..please tell me how to do that..Thank you

    That's true. You can only restore complete backups.
    I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
    - made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
    - restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
    - My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
    - Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
    The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
    I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

  • How do I get my camera icon back on an iPhone 4S?

    My camera icon is missing from my iPhone.  It must have been accidentally deleted.  How do I get it back?

    Camera app can't be delete its a built in IOS.  I would try searching your apps folder and see if its in there. 
    If you still can't find it go to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout - WARning doing this will remove all your apps from the folder and you will have to redo it, but at least you get your camera app back.

  • How do I get my camera roll back following iOS 8 upgrade?

    how do I get my camera roll back following iOS 8 upgrade?

    Then Apple should tell owners about this before the upgrade, so we know what to do. This is very typical of Apple, who assume owners are geniuses and can get themselves out this kind of issue. You say I should be importing pics to my Mac, why should I? I import the pics I want for the longer time and don't import others that I want to keep on my iPhone. What I don't expect is for an upgrade to delete stuff without a clear warning. I will be taking this up with Apple. I remain pretty fed-up.

  • When are we getting the Camera Raw plug-in version 7?

    When are we getting the Camera Raw plug-in version 7 to export from Lightroom 4 to Photoshop CS5?

    well imo that is nick picking.. as i payed for the same ACR 7 functionality when i bought LR 4.
    it´s just to annoy the customers enough to make them upgrade photoshop too.
    you can twist and turn it .. in the end it is a great leverage for adobe to push people into buying a new photoshop version.
    customer support is something different.. at least in my view.
    imho ACR should come with LR. so no matter what PS version you have they will be compatible.
    ACR is a plugin it should be possible from the technical viewpoint.  i work with way more complicated plugins in 3D max and when i buy one i normaly get different builds that work for the latest 3-4 program versions.
    but as jeff schewe wrote in another thread, for adobe it is a lot of work with zero benefit (income).
    they make AE compatible with 3D max. but to get full support between adobe products.....
    . But then you're really talking about new ACR functionality, which you don't want to pay for.

  • How do we get our security deposit back?

    now that its almost been a year, i was just wondering how we go by getting our refund back and if anyone knows if we can just use that towards the 3g iphone? thanks

    That is up to AT&T as they took the deposit to cover their uncertainty towards your credit. Upon making the contract and giving the deposit, that should of been laid out to you. Details differ per person based on what their credit was and how much they had to put down.

  • When will I get my security deposit back, $125 to start service?

    I would like to get my security deposit back of $125.00 that I had to pay when I started service. It is my understanding that after 350 days of uninterupted service, you get your deposit back by check, including interest. I was also advised that I could contact Customer Service and request for a hardship return of my deposit, my account is in good standing and I have not had any interuptions in service.

    It is a year not 350 days. You also needed to have made your payments on time for 12 consecutive months.

  • When Will I get my Ipod Touch back??

    Hoping that somebody who has had their ipod fixed by apple could answer this.
    I sent my Ipod in the box they gave me on Wednesday last week and arrived on Thursday at Apple according to UPS. It is now monday and when I check the status of the repair, it says they haven't received it yet.  How long does it normally take to get your ipod back repaired, or for them to send you a new one?

    My friend sent it in around thanksgiving, and got it back just in time for Christmas. So it might take a while before you get your iPod back unfortunatly. Hope this helps!

  • Is it possible to get your camera roll back on am ipod touch if itunes swiped it; from restoring it?

    if so how please help there is alot of important things on there!:( its an ipod touch 4th generation!

    I do not understand everything you are saying. What is "itunes wiped it; from restoring it" mean?
    If you synced your iPod after you took the photos the photos should be in the iPod backup and you should be able to get them back by restoring your iPod from backup.

  • Our hard drive on our 27in Mac crashed and was replaced. Is there any way to get our music/movies from our iTunes account back?

    Our hard drive crashed (it was the one that was recalled) and Apple replaced it. Is there a way to access our iTunes account and get our music/movies back? Or do we have to re-download everything? What about music we purchased?

    Perhaps without a lecture level 10, it has long been a basic requirement to backup one's computer. Of course who would have thought one would have to backup something that is downloaded from a premium service like Apple's iTunes with the iCloud.
    Much of the media purchased from Apple appears to be redownloadable, except for things that are arbitrarily not (because of licensing or whatever, but these reasons are not apparent to us, the lowly customer).
    This is hard to understand until one has a problem, and finds the article listed above, or tries to enter a support ticket and ends up in the forum with someone who has obviously answered too many questions.
    So how about we ask that a product manager at Apple consider a novel new feature - provide an online locker for movies purchased with real money through iTunes.
    Let's call it iCloud and tell the world about it!

  • Camera quality get worst after unlock bootloader

    Hi, I unlocked bootloader on my z2, after that I realize the Xreality mode not working, also the camera quality got worst. Is there a way to go back? I tried relocking the bootloader but got no luck. I may not need the xreality, but I really want the camera to be as good as before. Please help, thank you!

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I'm afraid it's not possible to go back. When you unlock the bootloader, the DRM keys are permanently deleted. This may affect advanced camera functionality as stated here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

  • When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    When trying to open iphoto I get the error message "You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete." How do I fix this and get my photo's back?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
