Hello all (specially the developers),
i have a question regarding the camera of HOX. i had galaxy s2 before this phone. whenever i use its camera with flash on mode, its swithed on the Flash led during focus time and then it takes pics with flash ON again. ( this way subjects are focused properly even if is pitch dark in the room)
but in HOX, the flash led donot turns on During Focus. so when i am taking pics in dark (even with flash on mode) , the subjects are not focused properly and the pics become blurry usually.
Please developers can you make a patch [MOD] for HOX camera app so that it LED flash gets on during focus time as well.
this way pics in low light will be focused properly..
Thanks !

I'm running the M1 release of CM10 on my Galaxy S3.
With the stock ROM the camera was FAST. I could snap pictures of fast moving things and the phone would take a picture when I touched the shutter button.
With CM10, it is horrid. When I press the shutter button the camera spends a few seconds slooooowly focusing and THEN takes the picture. If, in advance, I do a touch to focus it will snap the next picture quick but then it goes back to dragging.
Any way to make the stock camera app not suck? I had this same issue with CM7 on my Evo, I was really hoping to not have it. Maybe I'm just doing something dumb??
Did you change the focus mode from Auto? I think it's the only one that pre-focuses before taking a picture.
I've cycled through all of the focus types to try and find one that works quickly. Continuous, Fixed, Macro, Infinity - they all spend time focusing whenever I press the button.

I think it is the flash firing. When I set the camera mode up right with the flash turned off I get crazy fast pictures (yay!). When the flash fires though, it pre-fires the flash (I'm guessing to judge light??) then does a quick focus, then flashes. So low light photos will suck, but photos that don't need a flash will be OK.
Any way to improve the flash situation?
Good Morning. I have 2 Xperia Arc S.
I have a problem on my camera
1ST ARC S:
- Camera's focus mode doesn't work. It doesn't focus on anything. They told me to clean it but moving the cam to this phone. The phone got an error saying Camera not available.
2ND ARC S:
- Camera's autofocus works but when I turn to normal mode then select Landscape and Night Scene the camera turns blurdish at any angle. When going to Infinity in Video nor Photo mode it turns all blurdish how do I fix this? Thanks.
Hi !
Do you have a recovery ? Try wiping cache. Or flash CyberShot Camera Mod that you can find under Themes and Apps section (only for stock ICS).
You can also try to use any other camera application from PlayStore. It should work.
For the Night Scene, it's normal as Arc S camera give quite bad results in low light conditions (it deals with its ISO levels).
You can just use it for a static scene after seconds of focusing.
Hope I helped.
Cheers.
In the latest update sony seemed to add some camera updates besides that audio setting.
(50.1.A.13.83)
It seems there is more color after you take the picture.
Also when HDR is on (manual mode), it seems it only does a hdr photo whenever it's needed, for example when im just taking a photo of an object it takes a single photo and does no hdr but whenever the background is brighter than the foreground it takes 3 photos and then combines them.
Anyone else noticed it?
Yes ! I was about to ask, if it's just me or the camera takes much better low light photos now ?
Before it was just bumping ISO to 12800 in real low light conditions, and the photo quality was like well, 1/ISO
Now not even the used ISO level is lower, or at least not bumped so quickly, but even the Superior Auto mode used for low light produces more detailed photos. And plain "Night mode" photos are really nice now.
Now I really enjoy my Xperia's camera (which I really hated before, tbh...)
Really, really good job, SONY !!
Hello.
I have a frustrating problem with my asus zenfone 5z 8/256gb version.
Camera performs well in good light condition, but when it comes to take photo in low light for example in home with bulb light or when sun comes down i got problem.
Cuz camera preview looks like have 5-10fps? And talking a photo takes a while I mean click on button and i have to wait couple of sec without any movement otherwise i will get so blured photo..
Also I have a second problem in low light i getting strange white/color lines, something like flickering...
I make post on official asus zentalk, but they said "Under normal light source brightness, the camera preview frame rate speed is 30fps; in low light environment, it will be reduced to 8fps, increasing the exposure time and increasing the brightness of the preview, so the preview may result in afterimage, which is the design behavior." - And its funny for me, because for example Pocofone F1 with same sony sensor don't have that problem.
Now i don't know, is that issue with asus software or it's issue with camera hardware and I have to go with phone to service?
Well if it's software issue, any of custom rom fix that?
There is few photos/videos:

What's wrong with this phone.. ?
Thank you for any help!
I have the same issue both with the low quality laggy viewfinder in camera apps (like Snapchat) and the flickering screen / vertical lines in low light. Focusing is also not as reliable in low light.
My main camera's focusing is defective and doesn't work anymore. I am attempting to get it replaced under warranty (I hope they ignore the unlocked bootloader, if not then there are replacement camera modules on eBay).
I don't think a camera replacement would help the laggy viewfinder in camera apps, but I will report back if the flickering/lines is improved in any way.
Same to my phone 5z. Video quality not good 8n low light condition. The slow motion video in low light also terrible
Just got my phone back from Asus with a replacement rear camera.
So far, the vertical lines and flickering have not improved. Focusing and taking videos (in the Camera app and in social media apps) still have a lot of flickering and lines.
Although, I did notice that Snapchat has much improved video recording. Not sure if it was the camera replacement, or the update to Android 10, but the viewfinder in Snapchat has minimal lag and takes much better videos than before.
Edit:
I can confirm MUCH better camera quality/smoothness in 3rd party apps (specifically Snapchat and Instagram) on the official Android 10 update. My snaps are very smooth and locked to 60fps, even in the dark (although the images/videos in general come out a little darker).
Some of the custom Android 10 based roms I tried (which are currently based on the Pie vendor) have significantly worse camera image/video in 3rd party apps.
Same problem here. That's very annoying because sometimes I'm recording in good light condition but background have some dark places then the lines are constant flickering in that part. This is ridiculous bad software problem.
MANY CAMERA FEATURES ARE INDEED REMOVED IN THIS UPDATE WHILE MAKING NIGHTMODE UNUSABLE
Night mode is broken, doesn't seem to work properly !
The images are now noisy & over exposed.
Problem :
Nightmode images are clicked instantly now, thus there's no improvement. Previously it took 2-3 secs to capture the images, thus giving better output.
Other Stuff :
• Normal Daylight shots seems to be marginally improved. Images are a bit sharper with less noise.
• Camera UI lag is considerably reduced.
• You cannot adjust brightness manually in wide angle lens now.
• You now cannot zoom in 25MP mode
> The previous night mode was much better, as shown below !
( Image taken before & after updating )
Using A505F - Indian Variant !
Anyone else facing the same issue ?
EDIT :
The phone speaker output is lil louder than before XD
To me it looks like first photo was shot in complete darkness and second photo before dusk..
True on my android 10.
Agree samsung been doing this more often. Maybe it woudl be better to get the stable android 10 update rather than a buggy one.

Yeah, half n hour after updating to Android 10.
Dusk or darkness, A50 never overexposed this badly in nightmode.
You should try yourself or did you ?
yes! night mode effect is very subtle and images are also washed out not at all usable.

Also you cannot adjust brightness in wide angle nor can you zoom in while using 25MP mode like you could previously.
Seems like a cheap move by Samsung.
