i bought my galaxy note 2 like a month ago.. i am pretty happy with the phone. good battery life, good sound quality and the screen is so nice but recently i found out that i have very poor picture quality. i get a lot of noise in my pictures and with a little amount of zoom it is noticable that all the details are blurry.... .... my gf has a galaxy note 1 and her camera quality is way better then mine :S can anyone help me out why is this happening? fyi i always used to take photos on auto but now im trying out with different moods but with no satisfactory results. :S :S is there any way to know what camera you have with any app or something? please help me out :S..
i am attaching some photos that i took via my phone camera and uploaded them via instagram
have u clean the lens and if cover over the lens? try take some outdoor photo under sunlight, just to compare
before take those photos, clean the data and cache for camera app to make sure all setting is default
I have also noticed decrease in photo quality from note 1 to note 2 although note 1 was slower but quality was much higher.
Sometimes I feel like clicking photos from an old 2 MP camera.
Lowering ISO helps a bit but picture are darker. I am gonna try another rom today so I will check the difference in camera quality.

Goto settings/application manager under the 'all' tab look for camera ....there you can clear data and cache for an app.

i did that still no improvements thank you for your suggestions though.
I realize that too
I also feel that my girlfriend note 1 camera is much more clearer and better in taking photos. Much brighter in her screen when we take photos together under the same lightning. Why is our camera so bad? Im not satisfied with this camera. Any help on this devs?:crying:
Two things, as I kept saying and saying,
1- The default ISO of the stock camera application is too high. Result- blurry photos. So either manually decrease it or use third party app like Camera Zoom FX.
2- The LED flash is terrible. In dark you will notice that it ain't strong as it should be. Under low light you should use 'low light' mode, always, that'll cause higher ISO photos causing grainy shots however.
The quality of the Camera sensor is below average overall, so don't expect great results.
Personally I have my D90 and 550D for basic stuffs, that's why I don't give a damn about this crappy camera, but I feel sad for the people who are forced to use this camera often.

The above post is the truth.
Overall, indoors performance is not all that good, except from low light mode which works nicely, but I find outdoor shooting to trump all other mobile cameras I've ever tried, by a huge margin.

It's the Note 2's camera sensor that the problem, not the camera application. You could just use any application from the Play Store.

I agree that the camera sensor itself is a problem. Before I bought my n7100 i hade S2 and it's a huge difference between the camera quality of those two phones. The S2 camera was absoluttely amazing. Best photos ever taken by me with a phone. I was very dissapointed about the quality of note 2 camera, i tried a lot of "fixes" but no result. I hope Note 3 will have a better camera, at least same quality as S2, in fact, same quality as S2 camera will be more than enought.

I've tested it multiple times. I'll get a perfectly sharp/clear focus, take the pic with absolutely no movement, and as soon as I check the pic in the gallery, it's really soft and somewhat blurry.
I hope Google fixes this because the camera seems to be very capable. Before taking the pic, I can get it to focus perfectly and look very sharp on anything, but as soon as the pic is taken, it's all messed up.
Anyone know if a 3rd party app would fix this?

Not having any issue with the pics. Switching from the camera to the gallery lowers the brightness and also the pictures take a second to process. I showed a professional photographer a picture snapped with this camera and she was impressed. I'll post it, one sec.
EDIT: Picture was double compressed from Google+ so doesn't do it justice. Bottom line is, not having issues over here.

The camera does seem....blurry...if not grainy? It seems much more like a software problem more than anything though...hope it does get fixed.
I also hope there is a software bug with the camera
It always doesn't want to focus properly, only does its job well when macro shots.

This camera absolutely sucks in comparison to the atrix I just sent for repair.
Both have 5mp.
Nexus takes pics quick but they are very grainy and low quality.
I am not impressed.
with GN camera i think you need to properly focus on subject, i took great pictures yesterday in broad daylight and night, which is the best batch of pictures i've taken so far.
Download the MIUI camera application. Image quality is a bit better and the chances of getting a clear shot are much higher. You don't get the fast shutter speed thought. Its what I use for serious photo attempts.

hi there is there a way to make the camera photos less darker and blurry?
I remember seeing a thread either in the Development forum or the Themes & Apps forum about some edits that can be made to improve camera quality.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Learn how to take photos? Most problems are user-related, no offense.
In many situations its not the camera thats "causing" the issues.
thanks for the reply guys, actualy ive seen a review of the nexus vs s3 and iphone and it said that the camera had worst performance since the pics are darker and less stable so i believe the problem is not just mine
Yeah but the reviews early on used the old firmware with bad camera. Latest update fixed camera quality much better. Its still not superb but better and decent enough. Low light is worst part though.
is there any fix to that besides turning up the lights ?

They are less stable? Just use the focus, and don't move your hand much. I have great pics from my Nexus, they look nice to me, probably not as good as the 4S but still good enough to post on FB.
Like others have said, you can get great pictures from the stock cam if you are steady but try using Camera Zoom FX. It's free on the Play Store. It does a better job of auto focusing then the stock camera.

I read that after updating to 4.0.4 now we're able to press the shutter button and it (manually ) focus then we just have to release our finger from the shutter button and it takes he picture, I updated my nexus but I when I hold the shutter button it doesn't focus, the viewfinder, never turns green :/
Was this just a rumor?
Is there a way to turn auto focus and just use manual focus?
I know you just stand still and wait for the phone to focus but how can I know that the focusing was done correctly?

Some pictures from the nexus camera..the last of them being a low light shot...IMO this camera puts out pretty close IQ to the 4s except in low light where the camera is ****

Hi, I bought a Galaxy Nexus on august and it is a really good device, the only thing that I dont like about it is the quality of the pictures of its camera, is it just me or this device has a relly crappy camera?
Have any of you tried to improve its quality using the GNtoolkit or any other method?
If so, please advice...
Thank you very much
Lol the toolkit? really?
The camera performs poorly in low light, and nothing is really going to fix that except... more light. In well lit and composed pictures, the camera has the capability to produce good pictures. They turn out pretty well. This camera isn't the best, but isn't nearly as bad as people like to think. Just check out some of the pictures in the General section. Lots of great stuff in there. It's not impossible to take good pictures with the GNex.
Most issues with the camera can be attributed to the photographer, not the device. There are many camera apps that can help you achieve different affects with your camera (like HDR, scene modes and editing), and there are even some in the stock Gallery.
Don't use the 'zoom'
Beamed from my Grouper.
The best apps that I think produce good quality pics with the Gnex camera are Vignette and HDR Camera+. Honestly I don't ever use the stock camera because I feel they produce the worst pics.
I mentioned the toolkit because I saw an option there, so... Im pretty ****ed right? LOL

the camera is awesome. you probably need to learn how to use it correctly.
I think it is pretty decent. Again I don't compare pics with other phone because missing a few pixels isn't going to make huge difference.

Beats, and I mean beats the **** out of my Thunderbolt's 8MP camera. Low light, lots of light, magic, doesn't matter, Nexus wins every time.
Magic doesn't exist, just making my sanity clear.

I have found that the gnexus camera out performs my HTC sensation , lumia 800 iPhone 4s when it comes to low light pictures. They come out a lot less blurred and precise than the other phones. Day photos are perfectly good for a mobile phone. Want an amazing camera buy a SLR , Facebook photos it does just fine

I want to know what configuration for the camera is the best for the night. Because when i take a picture at night the quality is poor. Post your pictures at night taken by your galaxy note 2 . And the configuration.

I typically just use auto with flash and photos turn out pretty decent.
Otherwise i have found that the low light mode does petty well too
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Low light mode. Unsure what the outdoor visibility would do. Might be worth experimenting with auto contrast.

HDR is camera setting. It basically makes a better photo. Go to Camera then to Settings. Then somewhere there you can change the mode to HDR. Btw I use HDR and the rest auto settings for lowlight. It makes decent pictures. But the camera is way better in daylight. But that's every camera though, remind yourself it is still a phone!!
I absolutely disagree. HDR doesn't make a photo better. Why? I really have no time to write. Please Google.
Swyped from my GT-N7100
Hdr is high dynamic range. What it does is take 3 or more photo of the same thing, typically a normal photo, under exposed photo and over exposed photo. Then mixing this 3 photo together to create a beautiful photo.
Hdr doesn't really help in low light scenarios. Try using low light mode in low light situations. But take note that Low light means low shutter speed. Have your subject stand really still or it'll be a blur.

Hi all,
I have recently bought the Samsung Galaxy Note II and I really am disappointed with the camera quality of this phone. The pictures taken from my Galaxy S2 were much better compared to this.
General Problems:
1. Grainy,Shaky and Blurry images
2. Auto focus not effective all the time
3. Photos in good light conditions are also grainy.
Is there any mod or anything with which i can improve my camera "image" quality. Please help. I couldn't find any mod on the website till now.
I am using note2 from 6 months. But I have not faced any problem regarding camera.
Even its camera is much better then S2.
Check out this thread. All photos are posted from note2. And all are very nice.
There are many camera apps in play store. You can try any one and check.
sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..
what firmware are you on?
Maybe its because tou had ISO on auto. It tend to pock a high value for auto. Have you try manually set iso to 100.
Ofc it work best in bright conditions or else iso=100 will make the photo darkwr than usual.

Or maybe, just maybe, you tend to notice the noise and etc more now cuz of the size of the screen(?)

Post some taken pictures, maybe we can tell if we experience the same, or if it is something strange om your device (camera/focus broken?)
Try cleaning the lens before taking pics. ..it tends to get smudgy. .. silly but true

I was using Nokia N8-00 before I get N7100. Back in those days I can't stand symbian but god knows I miss the camera of N8. I can't say that there is a distortion or anormality on pictures taken from Note 2 but simply I can't satisfied. I hope that Note 3 would have better camera quality.
The biggest problem with our camera is that the cover over the lense is always 'smudgy', usually with greasy residue from your hands. Make it a habit to very gently wipe this clean on your shirt before taking any pictures, even the slightest bit of cloudiness will result in crappy pictures.
All phones suck at taking pictures indoors, outside they are all generally pretty good. If you want DSLR quality then pack around one of those monsters everywhere you go - otherwise, clean your lense and try to rely on adequate lighting.

I agree the camera quality and focus does not focus correctly and picture image is not sharp. My HTC Thunderbolt took great photos and it was more than 2 1/2 years old also had a 8 megapixel camera. Not sure who made the lens for Samsung and not sure if that is the issue. But I can tell you this some people think the images are great. They are not camera people the clarity and focus are not right.
