Hey I am on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition with Android 4.3 and my front facing camera is exactly like yours that you described. It looks like a painting and its quality is terrible, even though it is still 1920x1080. Did you eventuall fix your camera?

Are you using the stock camera app, or going to the cam from another one?

Sometimes its easier. However, I can safely say I've taken maybe 5 pictures since I purchased my first android phone using the FFC. There should just be an option OP, just like the OG note

Display washed out?

I just bought the tmobile note. Ive noticed that the display isnt as sharp or vibrant as the intl version (I have both). Anyone else notice this? Or is it just my imagination?

[Q] is there a similar app to the at&t messages app for sprint?

I'm curious about this. I really like the idea of everything threaded together.
Do you have a photo or video?

Are you sure you have a sprint S3? You're posting from the international version so I'm a little doubtful. If you're rooted it may also be a big with your rom, or maybe a common problem with your phone (if referring to int'l version)
I made a mistake.I have int version and it is not rooted l.maybe is a common problem who knows.

Low light photos tend to be grainy and don't look good, unless you have a very good camera. There is not really a cell phone out that takes low light pictures really well. You don't see the spots or grainy ness when you use the flash because there is more light. Take some pictures in sunlight and they will look great.

Yes i agree with you.When i take pics with more light they look very good and dont have spots.You think that is not a big deal?or maybe is a common problem for s3 and only i noticeed it,i cant belive

This is a problem with all phone cameras. They just don't have good enough sensors and what not to take good low light pics. If you want a great camera for low light images get a real DSLR camera.

Yeah but why spots appered?

I love DSLRs and use them quite often, so I might be able to shed some light (pun intended) on this situation.
I won't go into too much detail about it, but the low light performance comes down to the CMOS image sensor size. This article and this article do a good job of explaining what the camera sensor does, but it boils down to the following: a smaller sensor will be able to absorb less light than a larger sensor. This is why phone cameras will never be as good as (high end) DSLRs. This is also why, for the most part, size does matter when it comes to cameras (not 100% foolproof of a rule, but it stands).
Now, when you're taking a picture in a low-light area, the sensor picks up what it can. This is where software takes over. There are algorithms that cameras (both in DSLR and phone cameras) that interpret the sensor readings and compile them into an image. When the sensor can't read enough light, it's output to the algorithm won't contain enough information to provide an accurate picture. This is where grainy pictures come from and sometimes, artifacts like the ones you've been pointing out.
I'm not sure why it's happening primarily with low-light Red pixels on your phone, but it won't be fixed by getting a new phone. It'll be fixed by getting a $2K DSLR. Even though our cameras are 8MP, they will inherently be worse than a high-end camera. These cameras are nice for snapping a pic of a friend or relative or your favorite dish at that new restaurant, but if you're trying to blow them up to a poster, good luck with that! Having realistic expectations of the phone camera will help you be more satisfied with it.

I should also state that my previous post mainly applies to low-light conditions. Given adequate lighting conditions, this phone camera is phenomenal. The problem with the small sensor is that it takes more light to get adequate lighting. Hope this makes sense.

Gs4 camera in gs3

Is it possible to actually install the gs4 camera in the gs3? I know people are working with putting the apps in here but I'm talking about the actual camera.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Is it possible? Probably. Has it been done? Don't think so.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
NO.
The camera is not an huge improvement over the s3 and even if it would be possible it wouldn't be worth the hassle

That's a nice opinion you have there.
I think the GS4 camera looks ace and I've wanted on my GS3 since it's been shown.

It is good and looks good design wise I agree however I think the s3 can do enough as a camera on a smartphone.
if I'd needed to take pictures each 2 seconds and needed detailed/good pics I would have definitely bought the Samsung galaxy camera.
