I feel this has always been a problem on my Sprint Galaxy S3 and I am finally getting around to trying to figure it out. The preview looks very crisp but when I actually take picture it becomes faded and bit blurry.
I know it's not motion from the tapping the button because it remains clear if I take a screenshot of the preview which is more shaky than just pressing the screen.
I took a picture and a screenshot of the picture to show what I am talking about:
Preview / Captured image (click images for larger variants)
In the preview you can clearly see the texture of my shirt and the freckles on my face while on the captured image it is just a solid blur.
I asked this question on the Android Stack Exchange too but no one seems to know there so I thought I'd try here.
I am running completely Stock 4.3

Well i had a play with my uncle's iPhone along side my THD and the bigest issues was how unresponsive the THD was at the Picture scrolling and Camera response.
Has anyone tried/started to fix the camera Application and HTC Album?? there is a second wait between pictures on scrolling and about 5 seconds on taking a photo.
I'm almost afraid someone will have to do a total rewrite of the phone app to get it to a normal response time from pressing the button to taking a shot. It's rediculous as it is now; the cam is totally worthless for taking anything but still shots of non-moving things like buildings; taking shots of people right now is just ...worthless.
Which sucks
We did 2 shots and a slight movement blurs. the iPhone doesn't but you clearly can see the camera is better quality on the HD.... as to the picture viewer is there anything that can replace it???
picture viewer: well, there's xnview, but I have to say that Album works better, IMO...as long as you realise you zoom in by drawing different size clockwise circles on the pic, zoom out by drawing different sized counter-clockwise circles and pan by touch-and-holding the screen.
I was testing out the FFC on my Telus Galaxy S II and when I take a picture with it, I see the animation and the picture go to the bottom left corner, and then the little preview of the picture becomes flipped. When I tap on the picture to view in the Gallery, the picture itself is mirrored.
Is anybody noticing this? Is there a setting to flip it back?
Thanks!
Lol. I noticed this also. It actually "corrects" the pick. I took a pic and the saved preview pick flipped. But I noticed I had writing in the background. It is fine in the flipped pic but in the main display it's backwards this the flip.

Not exactly sure how to fix this, if it's even possible to fix it. Haha.
I've noticed that every pic I take while holding the phone in portrait mode is sideways. I think Samsung intended for people to hold the phone sideways to take pics, which I find dumb.
That's really odd.. I wonder if there is some sort of photo software for the phone that can be used to flip them back?
You can rotate photos with the built in gallery app, if that's what you mean...

I know you can rotate them in the stock Gallery app, but I wonder if you can flip them on a horizontal axis, if you know what I mean. That way, an "inverted" photo could be flipped right side up.
It works ok, when it flips it corrects it, when using the front camera its like looking in the mirror, like your right hand looks like its ur left hand, but once you take the pic it flips it and fixes it

1. How do I disable the notification (sound and vibrate) while I'm in the middle of a call?
2. I use Google Images a lot at work, On my original Galaxy S I would look up a product and the pictureson the results page would be decent enough quality that I wouldn't have to click the image to blow it up for a better look. Now On my Note 2 it's different, When I type in a product code all images come up in perfect quality for less then one second then they get this grainy blurred look to all of the pictures. Now I know the phone has downloaded all these pictures in good quality because it just showed them to me for a sec but why is my phone dumbing all the images down?
This is suuuuppper annoying!
Thanx for any help!!
My wife has a Note 2 and she's addicted to Instagram
But she is having a problem like since forever.
She uses the Instagram built in camera (since it catches what she wants), but she points the camera to an object for example and when she takes the picture it comes out cropped below. In other words, what she previews in the camera doesn't get photographed. There is a side (smaller cut) and bottom (larger cut) offset from what she sees and what she gets in the final picture.
Any help?
Can someone test this? Thanks!
Anyone to test this, please?
Bump:crying:
AFAIK , Instagram camera works that way . There's nothing that can be done for the moment .
However , I often use this method
Capture an image
Use Photo Grid to resize it ( It will automatically resize the entire image so that it can fit into Instagram )
Hope it'll helps
It only does this in Note 2. I have LG G3 and image is not cropped. Neither my previous phones.
Thanks for you answer!
1. So I wanted to report that I've encountered glitching YouTube videos, no matter the resolution. Unlike the "white flash" or "white screen" glitch, it appears it only happens during a scene transition. Most of the time, after a few seconds after starting the video, even audio glitches occur. But it's not like the audio gets distorted, it's more like it gets mixed up. So when YouTube Person says "A-B-C-D", the glitch makes it sound like "A-C-D-B". Of course in such a short time it's barely noticeable.
2. As seen in the attachement, on the live preview objects that come close to the edge of the viewfinder become washed out and blurry and sometimes even colours are distorted. It's doesn't look like a simple "out of focus" to me, but again, I'm not a professional, hence I'm asking you if this is how it's supposed to be.
3. Taken Images and the viewfinder appear to have a slightly shiftet aspect ratio. It's not a recurring "phenomenon" and I'm not even sure if it's just me. I notice this only when taking images on large sceneries with big depth.
EDIT; Ohh crap. Samsung and its stupid image rotating issue... Sorry guys, no matter how I rotate the image, it always ends up upside down.
EDIT: The YouTube issues are gone. Looks like it was a problem of the app itself. The latest update solved it.
On your attached picture, I see the little green box that indicates which part of the image will be in focus. Unfortunately, it seems you took a picture of a subject that is angled toward and away, so the portions on one edge of the screen will be further away than the portion corresponding to the focused green box, and the other edge of the screen will be closer.
So I'm unable to tell from your attached picture whether that's just being out of focus. Do you have another example picture showing the issue, but using a subject that is photographed evenly so that the edges are at the same distance as the center?
