Hello!
I need some assistance regarding the HOX stock camera app.
You see, the photos i tace with the One X turns out really bad.
My old (old, old, old) iPhone 3GS kicks this one's ass.
The images turns out grainy and low res. It's set to 8mpx and all settings are stock.
Now i thought it was a hardware problem but when trying other camera apps souch as Camera Zoom FX they turn out pretty great.
The stock camera app pictures is about 1.5-1.7 mb while the Camera Zoom fx are at a natural ca 3.5mb.
Photo taken with stock camera app: 8mpx: http://oi45.tinypic.com/n2odar.jpg

HOX stock: http://oi49.tinypic.com/21dizcx.jpg
Camera Zoom FX: http://oi48.tinypic.com/315cvg0.jpg
What could be causing this problem, or should I simply return it?
Do you have the stock camera app 8mp set to 16:9 or 4:3 format? I noticed with my own testing that the 16:9 format uses less of the sensor and you dont get full 8mp images resulting in lower image size. The 4:3 format is getting me 2.8mb+ image size.

You seem to have already answered your first question, and as to whether to return it or not because the stock camera app over compresses images, well, up to you.
Stock cam app compresses so you can have burst mode. Third party apps don't have the same speed as stock camera, but compensates with quality. And no, even with the stock app, the 3GS camera is worse.
harlz: I've tried both. 4:3 gives me a slightly better image.
I'ts strange thoug. Yesterday I rebooted the phone and took a picture, the screen was black for about 3 sek and then it took a photo that was just amazingly good. I took about tree more great pictures that ended up on ca 4mb. But now. I'm down to about 2mb and the images just looks like crap.
What could be causing this? Is anyone experiencing something like this?

Sounds like you were using the HDR function of the camera?

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Sony Ericsson Arc and the images taken by its camera look pretty good on the phone it self, but wen it comes to downloading them on PC the results are quite unexpected. the image resolution is poor 400xXXX pixels or less and size is about 600kb (same shown in astro file explorer) although its taken on 8mpx settings and same with using HDR camera. I use universal android suit (i dont know maybe i need original sofware?) The question is how do I fix that Resolution problem? what settings and where? pls help

i don't believe hdr camera supports full resolution even if it claims it. Take a picture with the stock camera and check the resolution on that. What's universal Android suit?

HDR camera does support full resolution, I have taking several pictures with both SE camera app, HDR camera and Vignette all at 8MP and compared them with 100-200% magnification, the resolution on each is exactly the same, there is absolute no difference in the details recorded.
HDR camera does after combining three pictures increase color saturation and contrast for the whole picture and fine details. This makes the pictures look like they have more details but up close it is easy to see the same amount of details and same pixel sizes.
I have decided to uninstall Vignette as it add some very weird "pixel curtain" all over the pictures which initially gives it a larger file size as it add additional pixels which is not supposed to be there. This could give the wrong impression that it contains more details which is not the case.
So I'm coming from an S4 which i thought had probably the best camera out there. While the One's camera is pretty good, I occasionally get blurry or not so great pics. I was wondering if another camera app might produce more consistent pics, or if it is what it is.
I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about the camera, it's just I'm trying to see if there are ways to get better pics.

Yeah, that's kinda what I've been reading. Don't get me wrong it's not horrible, I just wish it gave more consistently good pics.
Anyone reading this, have you adjusted any settings to get better pics?
I think it's software. For example, I sometimes get pink tint or a little blur with the stock camera app. But I also have vignette camera, and there is no pink tint or blur when I take pics with that camera. The only problem is vignette needs to update their app to work properly with the One, because it's only allowing 3mp pictures, not the full 4. :/

I also believe it to be software as not everyone has the issue.
I think it will be fixed soon with an OTA.
I 3rd party app actually may work better.
great thinking OP

to that end, I took one with the stock camera and another with Vignette. The stock one is bluish/purple. Vignette is not.

Both your problems can be solved by changing the camera settings.
The colour cast can be fixed by changing the white balance, and if you set the ISO higher, your shots should be less blurry (but slightly more grainy).
The "scene" settings can be handy, and if you pick the one to suit the lighting, it should give good results.
You could also practice holding the camera steady.
I really like the stock camera.

That's as may be, but the auto setting should automatically give you the right settings...It is on HTC to fix this, because we don't always have time to change the settings to get the one in a million shot of my 10 year old!
I have noticed that the Night setting gives me a better result...And I love to tweak my settings, but I wish it was easier to get to them. Maybe some "hot" buttons!
I taked some photos with different app. All apps set focus on infinite or landscape.
The stock (Cybershot) and Camera360 are clearly out of focus, blurred.
^^Hmm i have tried to compare the Pictures. At the end i only watched the dogs movement.

I have the same question. Does anyone else have focusing issue?
In dark/bright situations, 8 out of 10 times, my phone either cannot focus or gets out of focus.
Were these photos taken under kitkat?
I tried both Snap Camera and stock camera under JB but I can't see the differences between the photos they took, I mean both of them lose a lot of detail.
seems same here with stock KK / romaur v2.1...

Hi, didn't try any 3rd party app yet, but yes I also started to think that some photos are quite noisy and/or blurry in details with Stock and now Stock-Romaurv2.1 (KK). ----> +1
How did you get your first shot ??
The zoom of "1-Better_20140320_153735.jpg" looks amazing!
This 3rd party app I would try first.... :good:
Thanks!
There is another thread on focusing issue, but I don't know if we are talking the same thing since the OP set the focus to infinity, not auto.
Z1 Compact camera loses focus easily in dark/bright situations. Not only in video mode but in photo mode too, obviously. It happens all the time, even on far objects. Here I demonstrate with screen of another phone because it is a very good dark/bright object with a great contrast.
I've tested on stock, CM and Slim camera apps. This video is taken on Slim camera.
Do you have the same problem?
No one noticing this issue, or does no one care? I don't either since I mostly use camera to take photos..

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto E4 Plus come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Yes Indian version.
Actual images are even better, however this phone is poor in capturing photos in low light. That can be improved

I'm not a big user of phone cameras. I never use any settings. I just open it, take a picture, and move on. If I can take a picture of what I want, and tell what it is later, and be able to enjoy looking at it, I'm happy. This camera does it's job well. No complaints.
I'm ugly, but I took this with the e4 on lineage.

Hi,
I have same problem with poor quality pictures and discovered and installed a new app from PlayStore. It is about FreeDCam and for me it makes a huge difference when taking pictures.
Also may be opened with double click on Power button.
Wish you all best.
Hi. I have this phone. It is from a family member. I've updated it to version 113. I've rooted it. all good. but in the rear camera, the maximum resolution is 5mpx. and in the front chamber, the maximum resolution: 13mpx.
that is, the reverse of what it should be. and in addition, the photos with the rear camera are out of focus.
I will try to go back to the rom stock, because before rooting and unlocking bootloader, it was fine.
