Camera - dust or dead pixel - Sony Xperia ZL

I just updated to .101 and checked the camera app. Suddently I found a black dot on tge left corner. I cleaned the lense, but it's still there.
Is there any way to remove the back of the phone to clear the camera? Or is it possible to test the camera for dead pixcels?
Edit: just checked some pictures I took a few days ago, those were without the black dot. Is it possivle those dots are related to the new firmware?

if that black dot still on the homescreen, menus etc, then its a dead pixel. if its only in the camera App then could be the camera lens.

This may be caused by Exynos Abuse app if you have installed. Go to the app and change the setting. I haven't installed it yet so dont know much but i read that the rear camera goes green when the exploit is enabled.
Go to the app and find a disable exploit option.
Disable exynos patch I.e. make it exploitable

[Q] Photos with blurred borders and focus at center

Hi,
my Xperia S in the last months have problems with focus.
Camera photos have focus only in the center and the borders are blurred. Like Photoshop blur filter.
No one have this problems ? May be the rom ? It's stock Rom ICS .55
Before i had no problems.
Thanks for your replies!
LL
ps this is an example ogt my problems. All photos are as this one. Changing scenes or settings doesn't solve problem.
Do you have any case on your xs ? Or something near the camera ?
"Sad is happy for deep people" Sally Sparrow
correct me if im wrong but i think you're using manual settings
now in manual settings dont set your metering to center, set it to average and take a sample shot..and set your focus to multi auto focus
post another sample shot with these settings
Something is disturbing the lens sight. Remove your back cover, clean the lens with a soft cloth and try again without the back cover or anything else.

First you must see the photo then you can try to help. This isn't macro. He has a problem with camera. Look at photo.
None of these ....
I've already cleaned the camera with a soft clooth, testing all focus modes , reset phone.
None of these test works. The issue is present from 2 months , before i've no problems.
I think it's an hardware issue ...
Probably i want to upgrade my phone to Galaxy Note 2 so i'm thinking to sell it... what do you think ? Anybody tried the note 2 ?

How much time Sony take for a warranty repair like this ? Sony Italy say me 40 days... It's too much !!

Anyone use the camera mod?

I just rooted and s-offed my brand new m8. I have seen stuff from the International m8 forum and on the Verizon forum about Jishnu's camera mod, and it looks interesting.
Has anyone flashed it on their T-Mobile device? Any reports back would help
Thanks!

I've had it flashed for nearly two months. It works exactly as advertised on my M8 running the ARHD rom. I doubt there would be any issue running it on a stock rom as well.

Flashed it on top of skydragon and everything seemed to go fine. The only problem is when I go to pano 360 I don't have a capture button. There's this Grey rectangle on the screen as well. I tried to take a screen shot but it didn't work. Do you have this problem?

What you are seeing is intentional, that's how the panoramic camera works. It wants you to line up the center of the shot on that rectangle and then you'll see the rectangle start to fill up red. Then you move onto the next shot and it auto captures for you.

Haha, I didn't actually know this until I opened up the pan360 camera to see if I got the same error. I was just moving my phone around when it seemed to 'lock on' and the rectangle started turning red. So I learned something new today too.
I flashed it on my stock Rooted T-Mobile M8, but the camera crashes. Restored a backup, and now my camera is working again but I couldn't test out the camera mod. Any ideas as to what might be wrong?
I was incorrect in my first statement, the modded camera will not work on stock. It has to be used on a deodexed custom rom. I tried to use it on Fenny's deodexed/prerooted ROM in this forum but it wouldn't work. I guess it was too close to stock. Asked in the camera mod's thread why it wouldn't work on a deodexed stock rom but received no feedback.

[Q] Missing "Crop-me-in" feature?

I've manually upgraded to the latest ROM, but for some reason, the "Crop-me-in" feature in the camera doesn't appear to be there?
I haven't found any posts on the interwebs about this and wondered if it was a carrier detected option (I'm on an NVNO) or if it just didn't ship/was pulled?
In the camera, from the demo's I saw, you click on the 4 small circles in the square and it should be an option there- but I only have 5 options and none of them are "Crop-me-in".
Any one else seeing this?
I was missing that feature too. I got it yesterday when camera app updated. It's fun to play with, though it's still a beta so it needs some polishing.

After multiple HTC app updates it suddenly appeared as "Crop me in Beta"-
BUT, after I take the picture, it doesn't seem to actually merge the images (just has the front facing pic in the corner of the back facing pic)... Pretty useless.

The HTC camera app in the play store does not appear in my phone. But if I click a link direct to the HTC camera app, it says its not compatible? Why is there an error? Should I update my gallery? I have not updated the HTC gallery because it removes the Zoe features built in . please help

Can't Find Google Lens

One of my friends who lives in USA recently got her Google Pixel 2 XL delivered. She got the unlocked 128GB version and is using it on T Mobile.
She can't find the Google Lens option which is supposed to be available in the google photos app.
She is getting the info icon in place of the Google Lens icon in her phone.
i have attached a screenshot from the photos app where you can clearly see what i said.
i have also attached a screenshot containing the software info of the phone.
Can anyone help?
Might need to update photos app? My Google Lens button is right where the "i" button is on your screenshot.

I'm on version 3.8.0.173617484 and it was updated on 10/27/2017, possible just not rolled out for her yet? I have no other answers. In fact, I just noticed that on my phone yesterday. Sorry, I don't have a better idea.

Negative, the website, APK Mirror, has the latest version of the Photos app if you want to grab it from there and install it, I would link, but I haven't posted enough to be allowed, lol.
Problem Solved Guys.
Updated the app and It's Fully Functional.
Thanks.
I completely forgot about lens, tried it on a few pictures and it seems absolutely useless. I had it look at a bottle of liquor, assuming it would tell me the brand, it labels it as "bottle". A picture of a church comes back as "landmark". Picture of the Williamsburg bridge "suspension bridge". Well, duh

Lens is available in at least two places. One is in Photos (not camera) and the other is Google Assistant. In photos, at the bottom of the picture of a picture already taken, from right to left you should see the share, edit, Lens and delete buttons. For GA, long press the home (center) button. When GA pops up, Lens should be in the bottom right corner. These have been present before 8.1, so maybe you were just looking in the wrong places. Read one of the many reviews on how best to use it.
Just sign in to photos app with your Google account, after signing in you will see the lens icon instead of info icon.
