GN2 Camera Query - wrong resolution - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The issue is photos that are taken sometimes end up being 1280 x 720 in resolution using default setting.
Not always, as the default setting is single shot with maximum widescreen resolution. You can imagine how infuriating it is when you have been to a special event only to have crappy low res pics, and when you check the setting it is correct.
Anyone know whats going on? Also, do certain settings reduce the resolution like anti-shake, face detect etc. The user manual is absolutely useless.
Thanks

Just checked several of my photos. All of them are at 3264x2448. Are you sure you set it to the right resolution in the settings? I have image quality set to superfine as well, I dont know if that makes any difference.
As far as I know antishake and face detect wont reduce the resolution

[Q] Watching Videos On YouTube

Hi guys, I'm sorry if there is any solution for this problem into the forum, but I didn't find it.
What can I do to solve the problem with watching videos on Youtube. I mean, they are seeing too bad, pixelated with a very low quality and that's annoying
BTW, I'm using 4.2.2 stock rom.
Hope you can help me.

Maybe your internet connection? Is it unstable or slow?
Low screen resolution (only 480x800) means you're limited to 480p or lower, because more than that you can't tell the difference... of course resolution is not everything, there is also codec and video bitrate. A 1080p with low bitrate may look more pixelated than a 480p with a slightly higher bitrate.
I am facing this problem in CM 11(4.4.2) too. You are on stock 4.2.2 then it is possible that bug is in Youtube App.
I am using Tubemate to watch videos from youtube.
Attaching Samples from both Apps. See the diffrence for same video.Same quality (720P).

They're not the same quality. HQ is not the same as HD. HQ in this device is the highest resolution the screen and GPU can render (480p). When you turn off the HQ button then it will scale automatically to your internet speed (144p, 240p, or 360p). 720p is considered HD, just like 1080p.

Thanks for clarification buddy.You are right because I tried to play that video in 480P mode in tubemate and it came up with "not supported".
That means it is pixelating due to downscale/upscaling to 800 X 480 . NOT A BUG.:good:
The YouTube app is displaying videos on 4.2.2 GPU libs in crap quality
Thats why even CM11 and all KitKat ROMs have the same prob

Ok.
Thank u all about the information, now I'm very clear about the problem.
BTW, I'm using Instatube and works fine.
Try see vídeos in Browser its more clear and good the app its really really BAD
Just install the old youtube apk ver 4.5.17 ... it will solve your problem
Just keep in mind ( dont allow play store to update the youtube app to new ver or else u will again see pixelated video).

Help with resolution..

Hi all, I recently picked up the 10.5 inch model of the tab s, and I think I may have a problem with my screen resolution.
I was looking for and downloading different HD wallpapers, when I noticed that none of them really fit the screen all that well or looked as good as they should with a screen like this. So I searched around different sites to find my screen resolution and every one of them said my screen was running a 1280x800 resolution. That's WAY below the advertised 2560x1600 resolution this screen should display. Naturally I was a bit concerned and couldn't really find anything related online, so I thought I'd come to you experts here and see what you make of it.
Any help or info you guys/gals could offer would be greatly appreciated!
download CPU-Z software from playstore and check...
the resolution in pixel are usually the 2560x1600 resolution. and in dp resolution as 1280x800

I didn't take into account that they may be talking about dp. I suppose that makes a bit more sense. Not with the tablet right now so I can't check cpu-z, but when I have the chance, I'll definitely check it out and report back what I find. Thanks for the help, and quick reply!

So I checked cpu-z and it does confirm the 2560x1600 resolution. I guess I'm still a little confused though as to what resolution I should be downloading wallpapers at? Every site I go to says my resolution is 1280x800, even though they have 2560x1600 as an available option. Downloading both shows clear superiority in the 2560x1600 resolution, but the sites continually direct me to download the 1280x800 options.
Is this normal? And if not, what should I do?
I just usually download the biggest size... and crop it during choosing wallpaper...

I also usually do what edan does, either look for the correct resolution for the tab (2560x1600) or highest one available and crop/resize/stretch. No need to be confused with auto-detection, since it is a tablet and detection may not work correctly.

Yes it is, since your browser tells the website that you are using 1280x800 resolution.
For full resolution use this app (find it in live wallpaper):

I've used this app on my nexus 10 for a while. Best way to set your wallpaper for sure
I suggest you try going to interfacelift.com it's the best wallpaper site out there with natural taken shots from powerful cameras or edited digital ones and it automatically detects your resolution and sticks to it.

Camera app question

So I was messing around with my can app and just looking at settings when I noticed these two options aren't on. Naturally I tapped the icons to see if they could be turned on. Now I know there are some modes they won't work with but so far no matter what I do they went turn on. Has anyone else experienced this? I have the att variant.
Turn down the video resolution and the stabilization should become available.

Yeah I would have thought so as well but I have gone through every res setting from the UHD down to QCIF with no change so nto sure what I may be missing.
Have you tried going into settings and clearing cache and data on the camera app?

Photo size too big

I notice recently that each jpg photo is over 5 MB. The photo is pretty good but I would like to have a smaller size for each model, such as 2 MB max. 5 MB is very difficult in transferring and uploading. I did not find any adjustment on the phone. Any possible way to accomplish it?
Lower your resolution.
There are three choices: HD, FHD & UHD. Now I set to FHD - I believe 1080p only.

Those resolutions are for the video recording,not for taking photos...
For photos:
16:9 - 5312x2988

I wish LG would allow the camera to have JPG compression settings, so you could adjust the compression setting as desired, while keeping the high resolution.
But another alternative is to use a utility to open the JPG, and re-save it with higher compression but keep the same image resolution. An automated utility to intelligently do this is called JPEGmini.
Piktures gallery app can lower the size when sharing. I use it quite a bit. Open Camera app is an alternative as well that has several resolution settings.

Those are aspect ratios - no resolution setting at all - even worse!
LG should not have such serious mistake without the resolution adjustment on a flagship smartphone. Where can I feed this back to LG for improvement?

Nearly all app reduce the resolution don't bother about the size and also keep in mind, the smaller the photo the worse is it and it would be a shame not to take advantage of our great camera

How do I set the camera so the photos are 8x10 or 7x9 at 300 dpi?
I download them and process them in pshop and despite setting up an action I wish they could just come in at 300 dpi

Camera Modes - what does HQ actually do ?

As they title said I tied to find out but am at a loss in trying to find out exactly what is happening when we use the HQ mode in the camera app.
In night scenes it seems to produce a better photo but the shutter speed is the same. One plus have not really said what they have changed since the HD to HQ update so wondered if anyone could let me know ? Is it an extra stop in exposure maybe ?
Just watch this video:

Thanks for the video but it didn't really answer my question as it was only a comparison.
That video just compared the 2 options of HD (which has slightly changed since they renamed it to HQ) and HDR. It does not explain what kind of post processing happens apart from staying it used a de noise filter. I wonder what "exactly" is happening with exposure, contrast, saturation etc when you use this HQ mode ?
If anyone knows that would be really helpful.
Crap. I read it wrong. I thought it said HQ recently got changed to HD. And does anyone elses HQ lag like crazy?

Mine is rooted and running the Elemental Kernel. So I guess that's probably it.

@jdawgg21 Nope, that's not it.
When using HQ in lowlight, it automatically reduces shutter-speed even more compared to the already lower speed in auto-mode.
Lower shutter-speed = lower framerate
1/30s = 30fps
1/10 (mostly when using HQ) = 10 fps
When others say they don't see the lag, it must only mean they did not test this in the same lighting conditions as you did.
It "lags" here too and so does it on every device which will use 1/10 or even lower shutter speed which shows you a real-time preview of what the image will approximately look like when taking the shot.

Finally a sensible answer. Thanks man. I had been asking around and Juan Bagnel said it's probably doing something like a dslr de noise function so what you said makes sense I have only used it indoors with artificial light so probably had no lag but so is what is displayed on the screen if it is leggy is representative of the shutter speed ?
I have heard from a Carl Pei interview that the camera is the reason for the phone having 6gb of ram because it snaps 4 photos at the same time we snap one photo. The phone then automatically chooses the best one photo of those four photos. I reckon that is also a probable answer due to the lag you are experiencing.

No, this is not the answer for the "lag". Why doesn't it lag in good lighting then?
I already gave the correct explanation for this.
As an example: I don't know if you have experience with the OnePlus One. It also started lagging much heavier in lowlightconditions due to the low shutter-speed.
Eventually, Sultan released his modded camera hal which forced the camera to not go below 1/30s on the shutter-speed.
The result was a perfectly fluid viewfinder regardless of the lighting conditions.
I am only talking about the fluidity of the viewfinder here. (Shutter-speed and video-framerate is a whole different story not to be mixed-up here...)
I've seen this interview too,
but I don't agree with him that it takes the best of these 4, instead I think that it somehow combines them into one.
This often results in more blurry pictures, even in good lighting!
Check this video I did on this issue:
http://www108.zippyshare.com/v/KidtanPE/file.html
As you can already see in the video, all images were taken without HQ or HDR. You can clearly see this when taking a picture and quickly swiping to the gallery.
For an instant, you will see the unprocessed picture which quickly changes as processing is being applied! Sometimes to the worse though :/
This gets more pronounced the more the ISO level goes up on a shot.
I was holding my phone as steady as possible and you can see that the shots which are displayed first look sharp before postprocessing.
So how can this be explained when, as Carl says, "the camera takes the best out of 4 shots"?!?
I first thought that in HQ mode, the camera is doing Dynamic Denoise
Grainy pictures are a thing of the past with Dynamic De-noise, which takes several photos and compares them to reduce noise and improve clarity.

However GSMA review says that the Denoise function gets activated automatically when there is minimum handshake and is not dependent on modes.
A few other things I have noticed.
1) On 3.1.x the noise suppression was very aggressive, almost like a water paint effect. On 3.2.x, the photos are more natural. Still less noise that normal mode.
2) The minimum shutter speed in HQ mode is 1/10 while without HQ it is 1/17
3) RAW is disabled in HDR as well as HQ modes. This makes me think that the HQ (like HDR) is using multiple snaps to filter noise that is Dynamic denoise. If you quickly switch image preview after clicking a pic, you can see the transition from normal to HQ happening. This is definitely not normal noise reduction.

This is exactly what I said in my post right above yours and it even happens when HQ and HDR are disabled.
Check the linked video. I bet this is what you mean.
I hate this behavior, often faces are smoothed out because of this, even in perfect lighting conditions.
Hi, it seems the HQ mode does not generate RAW file, someone He checked?

A raw file is a photographic negative without any processing applied to it.
So even when the app would generate a raw file in HQ mode,
it would not look any different than the raw file created with HQ disabled.
My best bet is that the app is saving its resources for the HQ postprcessing,
thus completely skipping the raw part intentionally.
