W810i Walkman Phone Customizing
March 22nd, 2007 No Comments
After successfully modifying my Sony Ericcson W810i Walkman phone to reduce the unsatisfactory level of background hiss during music playback (Click here for more info) I figured I’d try updating the phone’s camera driver to see how the camera’s performance might be improved. I used the ZUZA v1 camdriver from here.
Here’s the before and after results:
Not good. Both pictures were taken with identical settings, but with the supposedly better ZUZA driver the JPEG was stored with slightly higher compression. Also, according the files’ EXIF information, the exposure time was shorter using the ZUZA driver.
Here are links to the original JPEGs straight from the phone:

Well, I guess this post is a cautionary tale…not all advice is good advice.
