[Fix] HOX dull camera images.. - HTC One X

Hello Guys...
I recently bought HTC ONE X and i love it, I saw that it has good camera and gives stunnig images
but after taking photos(espcially with flash) from my HOX i disappointed, Because it produces extra
brighness which makes the image look dull, even my older Xperia P gives better images.
I tried so many camera apps and tried to change the settings but also no result and i finally found a solution for this problem.
There are two methods one requires pc with ms office installed and second one on device with pixlr express installed.
Method 1:
1. After taking photos copy to pc and open with ms office picture manager.
2. Then click on auto correct, this option removes the extra brightness and gives the realastic image.
3. Then save the photo done.:good:
Method 2:
1. Install pixlr express from playstore which is free.
2. Open the captured image in pixlr express and select adjustment.
3. Then select auto fix and apply, after selecting this option the image will automatically adjusted and gives realastic image.
4. Then select on the save icon which is present on the right top corner > select gallery > orignal and done.:good:
5. Your image will be saved in pixlr express folder in gallery.
I have uploaded some images for proof:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

A better option would be to manually adjust the ISO.

You can order a new glass on eBay and easily replace it by opening the hox case and push the old glass out!
You can either use the old tape to mount the new glass or order new tape along the lens.

1. Smart focus area selection
Simply draw some lines inside a focus area and the background, then AfterFocus will automatically recognize the focus area. You can also select the area with traditional finger painting.
2. Background Blur effect
You can create the most realistic blur effect with various aperture styles just like DSLR camera.
To emphasize that certain things move, Motion blur effect is also available.
3. Filter effect
AfterFocus offers from basic effects to professional effects like Cross Process without looking artificial.
Also, you can emphasize the spot light on the background using Bokeh effect.
4. Double photo (Pro version only)
Take a picture of one object and move slightly to the right to take another picture of the same object, and it will analyze the images and recognize the nearest object, so there is no need to draw the focus area.
(Make sure that the background and the distance of the object are far enough and have clear texture to get a great result.)
5. Easy share
You can share through e-mails and SNS easily and simply.

Need Help for Camera !!!

Hii
i am using gnex slimbean 4.3. now i am facing little problem with camera. it is not a big problem. but i need some help.
here is the screenshot on camera view. ( i always hide navigation bar, and status bar )

}
But while i tried to capture img,.. it ends like this
both are not the same. captured image resolution is 2592*1944.
but actual screen view area is 2508*1412
is there is anyway to add a particular resolution in camera...because recently i took more than 100 images. but when i saw those images again i cannot get the same view, as i saw in the screenshot.
sorry for my english...if anyone knows how to do this, pls guide me how to do this. thank you
That is how the camera works on most phones. The camera app is full screen, and the phone is 16:9 or 16:10 ratio usually. However. The camera takes shots that are more square, probably 4:3 ratio. Instead of having black columns on the side it cuts off the top and bottom in the preview. If you want it to look more like the screenshot, just crop it down. Another option would be to try an alternate camera app. I don't know of any in particular, though, sorry.

Yeah stock camera does that. Install an alternate camera app like Camera Awesome or Camera Zoom FX.
Sorry to necropost, but the new Google camera in the play store now has proper 4:3 ratio in the preview(among other neat features). I think you need KitKat though.

[Q] Does the XperiaM camera still blue tint problem after two firmware updates?

Greetings, now that there is a new root method (towelroot) for the new firmware 15.4.A.1.9 (Android 4.3) for single sim Xperia M I am interested to update but ONLY if the camera's blueish tint problem has been fixed. Otherwise it's pointless.
I am on Android 4.1.2, 15.1.C.2.8 and the blueish tint problem under certain lighting conditions is well documented. But what is not documented is whether the newest firmware fixes this...
Can anyone help a brother out?
Questions go in the Q&A section and not here. Please post questions there in the future.
Darn, didn't realize this was gonna be such a hard question to answer. I guess this phone really is a low-use device
No I didn't notice anything blueish... It is fine by me

They were taken at 19:30 , at let's say low light. (Sorry for double posting. I couldn't attach pictures after editing the above post )
My Xperia M has a NyanCat boot animation
Yeap,still there.
Not sent from my Xperia.
Well, there's no more bluish tint in my camera in JB 4.3.
But, if it still bluish, try to use other camera software :fingers-crossed:
If it really still bluish, well you need to go to service center :silly:
Bug is still there but not so common. This bug can be easly "enabled" via few steps:
1. Find place with weak light source
2. Open camera - everything is fine
3. Cover camera lens with something for few seconds
4. Uncover it - everthing is blue
For me it happens with JB 4.1.2 with certain types of indoor light and background. Often I would be at a restaurant and take pics of my girlfriend with the white balance set to Auto and the whole pic is bluish. Changing the White Balance to fluorescent then fixes it. Have duplicated this blue tint problem at many locations and backgrounds. My girlfriend also has an Xperia M with the same problem so I know it's not my phone specifically plus this problem has been talked about many many times on this and other forums.
Using another camera app does not help (I tried at least seven different ones). But I chose Snap Camera due to the ability to place a quick toggle for the white balance (so not to get blue freakin pics all the time)

Stock Camera - Pro Mode

I think that the stock software attempts to boost shadow detail to the point that it sacrifices blacks and contrast. I also think the color temperature seems far too warm. While I'm sure Google Camera is the preferred solution, has anyone been using the "Pro Mode" with success? If so what tips do you have? What do your settings look like? What do you pre-set and what do you leave on automatic?
Here is how I have the manual controls set and so far I feel like I'm getting better pics. I still don't know the best settings for "metering" but I'm looking into it. Another note, I think that the images come out a bit less "processed" as well in Pro Mode.

Also interested, I tried using pro mode but noticed auto gave nicer pictures overall (with pro there was overexposure at light sources for example, or the overall balance was less good). But the auto/default pictures overall are a bit too bright to my liking, I also installed Camera FV-5 which has an RGB histogram option and the red seems overrepresented in there (I notice this mainly in house).
Might give it another try soon, it does remember the settings rigth?

Yes it remembers the settings. My initial issue was color temp. The whites on the stock software are simply not white. I made some adjustments and I'm much happier with the color temp a bit cooler. For example:

How about on an already taken image? Like for example an image you copied directly to your phone and not taken on the phones camera? Or even the one already took by the camera and then try to apply the filter? Thankss
