[Q] Camera problems

Hello!
I need some assistance regarding the HOX stock camera app.
You see, the photos i tace with the One X turns out really bad.
My old (old, old, old) iPhone 3GS kicks this one's ass.
The images turns out grainy and low res. It's set to 8mpx and all settings are stock.
Now i thought it was a hardware problem but when trying other camera apps souch as Camera Zoom FX they turn out pretty great.
The stock camera app pictures is about 1.5-1.7 mb while the Camera Zoom fx are at a natural ca 3.5mb.
Photo taken with stock camera app: 8mpx: http://oi45.tinypic.com/n2odar.jpg
Photo taken with Camera Zoom FX, 8mpx: http://oi48.tinypic.com/i5ver8.jpg
HOX stock: http://oi49.tinypic.com/21dizcx.jpg
Camera Zoom FX: http://oi48.tinypic.com/315cvg0.jpg
What could be causing this problem, or should I simply return it?

Do you have the stock camera app 8mp set to 16:9 or 4:3 format? I noticed with my own testing that the 16:9 format uses less of the sensor and you dont get full 8mp images resulting in lower image size. The 4:3 format is getting me 2.8mb+ image size.

You seem to have already answered your first question, and as to whether to return it or not because the stock camera app over compresses images, well, up to you.

Stock cam app compresses so you can have burst mode. Third party apps don't have the same speed as stock camera, but compensates with quality. And no, even with the stock app, the 3GS camera is worse.

harlz: I've tried both. 4:3 gives me a slightly better image.
I'ts strange thoug. Yesterday I rebooted the phone and took a picture, the screen was black for about 3 sek and then it took a photo that was just amazingly good. I took about tree more great pictures that ended up on ca 4mb. But now. I'm down to about 2mb and the images just looks like crap.
What could be causing this? Is anyone experiencing something like this?

Sounds like you were using the HDR function of the camera?

[Q] need help problem with main camera

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thx for helping

Is that in the stock camera app?
Try manually reducing the exposure to see if that helps. That's highlight clipping, but to see that in a photo out of a stock camera app is bizarre .

Strange indeed. Perhaps try a digital photography forum. Maybe someone can identify this issue . I'd hate for it to be a hardware problem. Good luck

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Moto E4 Plus come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Eshwar are you using the Indian variant? Even though the photos you uploaded are compressed they look so much better than the originals I took.

Yes Indian version.
Actual images are even better, however this phone is poor in capturing photos in low light. That can be improved

I'm not a big user of phone cameras. I never use any settings. I just open it, take a picture, and move on. If I can take a picture of what I want, and tell what it is later, and be able to enjoy looking at it, I'm happy. This camera does it's job well. No complaints.

I'm ugly, but I took this with the e4 on lineage.

Hi,
I have same problem with poor quality pictures and discovered and installed a new app from PlayStore. It is about FreeDCam and for me it makes a huge difference when taking pictures.
Also may be opened with double click on Power button.
Wish you all best.

Hi. I have this phone. It is from a family member. I've updated it to version 113. I've rooted it. all good. but in the rear camera, the maximum resolution is 5mpx. and in the front chamber, the maximum resolution: 13mpx.
that is, the reverse of what it should be. and in addition, the photos with the rear camera are out of focus.
I will try to go back to the rom stock, because before rooting and unlocking bootloader, it was fine.

magisk modules?

Hi, this isn't spam, anyone has an idea for magisk modules? Well, if you do, post down below, I'll see if I can build them!

Would it be difficult to implement a way for front-facing photos in Google camera to be saved as they are previewed in the viewfinder like in Snapchat, Instagram, etc?

It would be kinda difficult, but why do you want to take a screenshot of the viewfinder rather than using hdr+ which is superior to any other phone in every way, There is prob a camera app out there that can do this, lemme do some searching for you

I suppose I'm moreso looking for a way for my photos to mirror back to how they appear in the viewfinder. Not so much much a screenshot of the view finder, but an automatic vertical flip of photos taken with the front-facing camera. I was just curious, thank you

Why is my camera different from the others? There's a lot of noise going on. i took a shot of my front cam, and it shos a lot of noise. Even on my rear cam, it:s the same. I don't know what to do. ?

In my opinion noise or grain is ok on photos in certain cases. Low light and high iso settings can cause this for example.
I shot this pic on a bus, the vehicle was in motion, the light was not enough because of the cloudy weather and the windows of the bus was also tinted. As a result of these things the lower part of the photo is grainy as hell.
Made with stock miui camera app on xiaomi.eu weekly rom.
