Camera performance indoors - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello I was wondering if anyone has problems taking pictures indoors? My phone camera seems abnormally dark compared to my friends who has the same phone. I'm also on blazer ROM going to try to Odin back to stock see if it helps. Will report results.

Noone huh?

Nope. I'm on blazer as well and my camera is the best out of any phone I've every used/seen. Try looking at the brightness settings of the camera. Or completely restore your phone and reflash

Do you have a case that can be affecting the camera

This is a well known issue and documented in all the ICS roms.
Ahh my bad so i assume sooner or later itll get fixed

It's definitely on the MUST DO list along with the GPS, random vibrations, exchange sync, wifi and a few other things. But considering the steady and overall complete feel of the leaks I think we are right on the verge of an official update.
I thought fb27 was official

Works fine for me on Codename. Have not had a single problem with it.
think its a size issue cause it either f/c or says size too small ...
mine will fc whenever I go into the actual picture taking part of the app. The social parts of the app work perfect though. Running the goodness rom

I am having the same issue. When I try to take a pic, it force closes. I am running MIJJAHZ rom. Any ideas?

I have CM9 alpha 2 with the FC02 kernel and I can take the pictures fine. Where I run into problems is if I am listening to music or podcasts and snap a picture, Instagram mutes all audio until I force close it and then all my sound comes back. I'm pretty sure it is muting it for the shutter sound and then won't un-mute so it has to be killed. Anybody else getting this? Any possible fixes or workarounds?

In Instagram's settings turn off Advanced Camera

In CM9 alpha 2 you have to keep Advanced Camera on or it will crash after you take a photo and accept it.
I actually just wiped my phone and it works fine now! Made a backup of my important apps first though : )

Sounds like the issue lies with people on ICS? I've been experiencing the same thing with calkulin's 1.3a rom.
Latest update fixed it for me!

[Q] Camera glitch?

Folks,
Recently when I've started my camera app I've heard a "buzzing" out from the camera. Very strange behavior.
It doesn't seem to affect quality that I've noticed. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm running Cm9 alpha 2 and FD05 modem.

Buehler? Buehler?
Mine did that the first time it opened Instagram but only made the sound for maybe 20 secs then stopped. IT happened one more time after that but I think it was the stock camera. And once again it was only for a short time then nothing again. Think I just reset my phone both times.
What ROM? What version? This was happening a few versions back on Blend ICS and Calks E4GT 2. Newer versions have fixed this.

Mine has done that a few times on both stock roms and Calk's roms. Always with the stock camera app. I've generally found that a "strong tap" around the camera stops it. Probably not the right method, but it seems to do the trick.

I had that weird hissing/buzzing come from my external speaker when the panorama photo option in aokp Kang 040512 attempted to stitch the photos together, but it didn't save the photo after it buzzed while stitching. only did it the first time I used it and now it works, weird huh?

Gameboid/Snesoid problem?

So on stock rom I would play both these emulators and the games looked fine on landscape and stretched settings but once I switched to CM9/AOKP, they now look very pixelated using the same settings. I took screenshots but the problem doesn't show up. Has anyone else noticed this?
I have not noticed a change. Then again I just rooted last night and have not had a chance to look for the little flaws yet. I'll check after I get off work and get back to you

Bump
It's probably a rendering bug on cm9. It's definitely rom related because I'm on blazer and it's fine.

It looks like it's a problem with cm9 and aokp because I just installed cm10 and the problem is gone.

AOSP 4.3 discussion

What are things you've noticed so far in the alpha/beta builds of Android 4.3?
As of 8/10,
- (Cosmetic) I like the addition to the LTE signal. On cm10.2, the 4G icon has been replaced by "LTE". (Does not apply to SlimRom.)
- Device appears to be much, much smoother and consistent.
- AOSP keyboard no longer opens a window to save a word to the dictionary. It just does it once you hit save. (This one is a big plus for me.)
- LTE, while speeds haven't necessarily matched my Touchwiz experience, I can safely state that LTE, even with slower speeds than Touchwiz is loading pictures/videos a lot faster. It's much more noticeable how LTE connectivity has improved when going to a 4.3 rom on this device.
- Required to enable root via developer settings prior to using any application that requires root access. (This is a security feature but for someone that flashes ROMs on nearly a daily basis, it can become a bit tedious since it's just an extra step.)

Things are loading faster on LTE even with slower speeds? Interesting! Is your ping lower or something? I need to try a 4.3 ROM tonight.

Speedtest results yield ~10mbps in most instances but the overall browsing experience is much smoother. Perhaps something with the routing and such.

Some people have mentioned that there is a battery drain in early builds. Is this still true?

After two hours and 36 minutes of screen time, I'm at 89%. Been on 4G LTE the entire time.
Edit: I do have a 3000 mAh battery, though!
Battery has been great on slim it's also noticeably faster than 4.2 ... Camera is buggy as !-!311, that's really the only thing wrong with it though... My friend did just send me a file to flash to fix the camera, haven't flashed it yet so idk if it'll work or not

Check pm
Really digging the aosp implementation of dialer completion. It's spot on! CM10.2 feels noticeable quicker than CM10.1. That's just from my p.o.v. though.
Hey bthorne did the zip work? If it did can you pm me?

It didn't
4.3 is running pretty smooth. Had it running about a week and really only issues are the damn camera... but that's not too big of a deal. I rarely use it anyway.

It's fidgety, but it will work. Clear data in titbu. Select folder, force stop, restart. Soon enough it'll pop up

Is camera still buggy? what exactly is buggy about it? I havent tried an AOSP rom in like 6-8 months because first time I flased one my sd card got corrupt. I believe it is formatted correctly to where IT wont happen now and thinking about finally making the switch since touchwiz development has kind of slowed down recently and im starting to get bored. Main thing keeping me on touchwiz was the camera. I take a lot of pictures. Are there any other issues that would keep me from using an AOSP ROM as a daily driver? Bluetooth issues,random reboots,freezes ect...
I never had the luck of running a 4.3 build perfectly. Phone ended up crashing and getting stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 boot screen.
Latest carbon runs quite fine 8-29 nightly. However, I noticed Bluetooth doesn't appear in the toggles nor can you enable torch in the power widget. Anyone know a work around to fix this?
