Any way to reverse front camera?

So when I look at myself using the front facing camera it looks right. Then when I snap the picture it flips. On my EVO it did not do this. I looked in the settings to see if it was something I could change but I did not see anything. This is really annoying to me.
Am I missing it or is there a workaround out there?

The flip is to adjust it like a mirror.
Have you not figured it out?

What? My previous phone did not do this. I just want this phone to exhibit the same behavior.

The front camera shows a mirror image, but when you take a pic it takes it as the camera sees it, so you are actually taking a self portrait.
IIRC, the Evo would always take a mirror image with the front camera.
So are you saying you want to take a pic with your front camera and see it as a mirror image? The camera won't do this that I can see, but you can easily flip the pic with the photo editor app that comes on the E4GT.

Why do you want such a feature? O_ o.... that makes absolutely no sense to me, when you can just take the image you took, and flip it with any or current pic editor, i understand that you might want it automated, but..er.. what i don't get is why would you want such a feature lol.

Look for my fixed camera in the apps and themes forum. The international galaxy s2 has this as an option. The zip I posted will give you what your looking for.
This bugs me as well...

Thanks.... Your modified camera fixed it! Also, like that when selecting the focus point, the flash lights up to capture focus. I didnt see that feature in the stock camera but its nice for taking a picture in dim lit areas where it can be hard to focus.

It appears that 4.0.3 has fixed the camera issues

You know how everyone is complaining about the camera, mainly because photos come out blurry/not sharp. The thing causing that was VERY slight movement when clicking the button to take the pic. It seemed to come out of focus very easily.
Now, with 4.0.3, I can get sharp pictures even with more movement. It's not so "touchy" anymore and stays in focus.
Anyone else notice?

If this is true, then it's awesome.

I hope it's true. There's more than one camera bug.

Im surprised how well it focuses in low light with out flash.

You know they could offer a shooting mode that used the phones sensors to detect camera (phone) movement and hold off the shutter until motion is minimized to improve sharpness. You might want a mode that does this but other modes, like sports, that don't delay the shutter.

Good to hear, what about the white haze when near a window. Now, can anyone recommend a 4.0.3 ROM without any visual mods?

You can change the boot animation yourself. Here's a link to a 720p version of the default ICS animation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380655&highlight=animation
EDIT: I've found the 720p version of the original Galaxy Nexus boot animation lags a bit, so if you're not happy with that one here's a link to a compilation of boot animations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364044&highlight=nexus+s+boot+animation
My personal favourite so far is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764

wish google would add an option for the instant shutter or delayed snap after autofocus. 90% of the bad pictures are taken because the person did not either tap to focus or held down the camera button for it to focus
Same goes with panos, I wish they gave you an option for auto panning versus the snap then move, like sgs2 did

Switched to redemption a 4.0.3 ROM and now pics are a lot better. Very impressed.

I get a pink center when taking pictures in incandescent light. Hear it's pretty common though.

I think it might be my camera, but I don't want you take it back. I think I got one of the good screens,I can't see the blobs or lines on the screen at the lowest brightness. Only when I really look at it in the dark but there's still barely any lol.

If you have a good screen then great haha. However the best way to test is with full brightness and a completely black image. You should see a green tint along with the lines and blobs. If you have a white SGSII, you won't really be able to see them until the soft keys turn off.

Still in the picture with or without flash. Do you guys think they will exchange it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

If its a new phone they should because its a manufacturers defect. There should be no charges either for that.

[Q] Camera app with face detection.

Is there any third party camera app which has face detection? The Ace's camera does support face detection in Smile shot mode but not in other modes. So an app which can detect the face in will be useful for capturing faces better!

Oh sorry, i cant find any more apps which have the feature, you would have thought popular apps like camera zoom fx and camera 360 would have this feature.

Camera cannot focus near objects !!

Hi all
I've been using this device for long. Recently while taking few pics i realized that camera couldn't on near objects. It can only focus on near objects upto a certain focal length and for lesser distance it focuses on far object and hence subject is blurred while background becomes focussed.. Anyone else having this issue.??

I've just taken a picture of my mouse.
The spot I marked is the spot I let my device focus, its nearly exactly 6 centimeters from the camera away.
http://i.imgur.com/kMDewJW.jpg
I think that's a decent result... I tried to place my mouse a little bit closer, but then the focus couldn't handle it anymore.

If you are running older OS yes it happens, but newer version after 253 closeups are pretty good. 244 takes flawless closeups

Which camera mode are you using..
Yes i am using 244 firmware still it doesn't focus sometimes

It works fine here at 2-3cm, but not with button - You need to tap the screen on the object you need to focus. Try, maybe it will help.

Yep, the camera button doesn't try to focus that closely. If you touch the object on screen it'll focus just fine.

Thanks. I tried but it works much better with Normal mode. superior auto cannot seem to focus

Frankly speaking superior auto takes lit of time to set itself and fails its purpose that is to take pictures in hurry. Custom settings does fantastic job.

Any idea if this behavior can be tweaked? What's the point of a 2-stage shutter key if the focus doesn't work as intended?

Unless most of your shots are macro i'm pretty sure it works.

I think you can use "macro" setting when you take a close up photo.

I never use auto. Always select area and focus manually. Sooo much better
