[Q] How to troubleshoot depth sensor ? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I ve just got a used HTC ONE M8 and i was not aware of the features and functions of the phone. But after going through the reviews I came across duo effects but couldn't use it In my phone .

Check out the below article, explains the functions and features.
What is it you're trying to do exactly and what happens?
http://www.htc.com/uk/support/htc-one-m8/howto/473767.html

Actually it is just saying that "duo effects is unavailable for this image"
For every image I take.
I know what are the procedure to take photos for duo effects so thr is no problem in that.

Duo effects are not compatible with manual camera settings. Its likely that you changed some minor & inconspicuous thing that's preventing you from applying duo effects.
Try the following:
- Clear the camera app settings.
- Make sure you don't change any setting, not even the flash.
- Make sure your fingers aren't blocking the depth sensor, and that its clean from greese (a simple wipe will do)
- Test drive the camera and the gallery for duo effects.
Cheers

Ya I did everything said above but it's not working.
I guess it's a hardware problem :crying:

Download an app called HTC Guide. It has diagnostics and other features. Might help figure it out.
Some pictures I've taken say the same thing. Not sure what causes it.

We're still not ruling out the software side. So, next step: clear data + cache for Gallery, since its responsible for using the depth sensor data to apply effects. Then, when that fails, you still have the tedious task of hard resetting. Then its either a bad rom flash or hardware fault

What about resetting the camera app settings to default?
The option is on the settings menu when in the camera app itself. Do that then just open the camera and take a normal photo without changing any settings and try editing it from the gallery app.
These options need to be set so that duo effects can be used:
Scene Auto
Flash Off
Filters None
Aspect ratio Wide 16:9
Zooming Zoom slider should be at the minimum zoom level.
Continuous shooting Not supported

you're not alone,i too am having this problem after updating the gallery app from the play store..If I take photos i get the duo effects unavailable for this image..If I roll back the gallery update to default by uninstalling the updates i can add the effects to the picture i took so the duo sensor is working..But when I install the updates back to the gallery app no new photos can work with duo effects..
Did you get this resolved? If so,how?

Fixed mine.

I got mine fixed just now. I had done everything previously as suggested without luck.
I had to go in to setup then apps then the gallery. I cleared cache and uninstalled updates. My gut feeling is that it was a gallery update that broke it.
Good luck,

Well yeah that works but you're missing out on any of the latest features and rolled your gallery back to stock from March or April. There have been features added between then and now.. Such as the slider for uFocus

You're right. I'm new to this phone from the M7. I just switched carriers. I re-installed the gallery update and the Duo functions still work. I'm not sure what happened to my phone before then but it seems good now.
It's only a little over a week old.

Ok, I think the issue is with the update to the HTC Gallery App. I have the exact same issue, but if I go into Settings > Apps > Gallery > Uninstall Updates everything works fine. As soon as I install the update for Gallery again I get the same error when applying Duo effects.

I found a good camera for CM11 & SlimKat

Camera KK this looks like it was built with CameraNext and has had the best results from any camera app on Fire Phone I have used. Even with flash!
I attached some unaltered shots outdoors and indoors with lights on and off in my server room.
Free has ads and $1.99 to remove them. So try it and let me know any tips you might find.
Still has flash issue in low light. It's going to take more than an app in the store to resolve the issue.
Nice, good find, flash pic quality looks similar to the ones from Snap Camera... I found the post I was thinking about:

No, but I do.
I tried reducing exposure -1 and that did a little but the flash normal was also pretty good. The pic from the op was in a completely dark room so have to see what low light looks like.

Oohhh very nice, that's a very solid result for basically "default settings"! Will download it and take on a "test drive" tomorrow.
Compared to the pics taken with the new Huawei Mate S, why are we even complaining... :laugh:
(...added the quote about the Snap Camera settings in my previous post, SC requires a little more work to yield good results...)
HDR freezes the app... sigh...
... and so will * every other app when using HDR. I don't need it, some people can't live without it (looking at you, russy23 ^^).
Camera KK is a solid alternative to Snap Camera or Camera MX, and easy to use because of the stock Android look & feel.
*almost
Camera Zoom FX
I tried taking HDR pics using Camera Zoom FX and it didn't crash.
I also found a good camera app that works great on the slimcat rom: cymera. Flash works and great filters are integrated. Couldnt find an option for HDR though...
Could someone try Simple Camera, it went free in the amazon app store today. Didn't know if maybe being from the Amz App Store might make a difference in getting a good flash... I'm back on Stock Fire OS right now so I can't try myself...
Thanks,

Thanks for mentioning (It's free in the US store, in Germany for example, they want 74 cents, hehe)
But sadly, being from the Amzn Store means nothing. A lot of "Devs" (more like "copy paste coder" ^^) publish their apps on multiple portals to make a little more $$$. This app is the exact same version as on Google Play Store.
It's based on OpenCamera, it even creates the "OpenCamera" subfolder in the "DCIM" folder. ^^ Default settings: flash pics are overexposed...
edit: Also tried "Cymera" on the weekend. It's, uhh, very "girly". For people who love filters & gramin' it's a feasible alternative, I'll stick with the "functional" ones, like Camera KK.
Can't you use the camera apk from Fire OS? Or does that require all the Amazon framework, kernel, our HAL stuff?

Correct, source code for the camera HAL is needed. Highly unlikely that it will be released by Amazon.
Oh wait, we're all getting bootloader unlock codes for Christmas when they put the developer version under our trees.
LOL Camera KK force closes on me. Cymera works though.

I bought Snap Camera, it has a good amount of options for people who want to customize their photo settings.
Quality is good, flash pics work too, you can correct the exposure if needed (other apps have this as well, ofc.)
Right now, I'm still using Camera KK (free version), because I just need a simple "shooter", just like the stock android app.
Anyone found a decent camera to take pictures when light is low without using flash? My pictures are always too dark even if I try to change light exposure...

[APP] Modded Google Camera

After trying many versions from the main thread in op3 forum, I found a version that works best for the nextbit robin. Considering it's running on an 808, decent performance with HDR+ even in low light.
Credits to B-S-G at 4PDA for the mod.
Settings: screenshot
APK: mirror

You probably copied it wrong. Blame xda for not allowing links to be posted. Excluding http prefix seems to work around it.
The version from this post seems to work as well on the latest LineageOS. The "Config camera HDR+" setting should be "Nexus6 (Max = High)".

Can the HDR+ parameter actually be set to High though? Several versions I tried could only do Medium. The version I posted came directly from the thread on 4PDA.
Yes, the "High" setting works in that build.
Works great so far on AOSPA. Thanks for sharing.
Does this camera have slow motion? I have been trying to find a camera that offers slow motion for the Nextbit Robin. So far I've been unsuccessful. Currently I am stock, but would be open to flashing something like RR or Lineage if its stable and I dont lose any functionality...i.e.. fingerprint reader and everything else works.
I haven't yet seen a version with working slow motion on the Robin. 60fps works, though.
The latest 5.1.016-based mod from B-S-G seems to work as well, using the "Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto" setting. Unfortunately, I've had no luck getting any of the 5.1.018 versions working.

Can you please post a screenshot of your settings page? Thank you.
Any other setting you changed/tried that work well?
The settings I'm currently using are:
Code:
Model: Nexus 6P
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto
HDR+ parameters: High
As I understand it, the "Model" selection tweaks certain algorithms that affect the final image, though I haven't seen any definitive explanation for that.
When installing updates to this app, it's often necessary to clear all data for it, or else it may crash.
EDIT: Oh yeah, running latest LOS.

Settings I was using
Mode : Pixel XL(corr)
HDR+ : Nexus 6 Hdr+ Auto
ROM : OmniROM
This was working fine for about 10-20 photos in 2-3 days. Until one day(yesterday) suddenly while taking a photo it crashed the app after clicking the image (image wasn't saved). And it kept doing it even after relaunching the app. Odd thing was the same thing kept happening on all camera apps. A reboot fixed it for other camera apps but didn't fix it for this app.

After the above happened I cleared the settings before uninstalling and reinstalled this app and used the settings you suggested. Now it doesn't crash but it won't finish the Processing HDR+ thing and never save the image
I have tried changing to various models. I guess I will have to try a few different versions with different settings.
Any suggestion as to how to make the process of finding the right setting & version by trying various versions quick and less time consuming?
Interesting. The crash you described sounds like a hardware or firmware issue. I've not used OmniROM, so I'm not sure what camera APIs they've implemented. I know that there was a period of time when LineageOS had a lot of camera API work done, so that may have affected overall app compatibility. Also, while I hate to suggest this, you might consider doing a factory reset via TWRP, because it sounds like something might have gotten into a bad state since reboots aren't helping.
The best way I've found to play around with the settings isn't particularly great. I pin the app to my home screen for easy access, and do the following:
Launch the Camera app, test it out
Make settings changes
Go back to the main camera screen
Kill the app by hitting the Overview (square) button and swiping it away
Go to step 1
Hope this helps!
I am not sure if its a firmware issue or not because after the reboot other camera apps work properly.
Ha! I guess there is no other good way to test it out.
btw were you able to get burst mode working? I never was able to get it working even when it was working.
I've never seen Burst mode work on the Robin.
I guess for burst mode I will have to go back to my usual camera app.
Anyone got this working on stock?
Nexus 6p would probably be a better choice for the config, it has a 64 bit snapdragon 810. Seems to capture faster than selecting the pixel 2 or nexus 6.
Although I took a comparison HDR shot between open camera (on camera2 API) and this modded camera, open camera had better HDR post processing and didnt take as long to apply the changes. Ill probably keep this modded camera for the panorama though.

HDR+ parameters: High
I have not tried to play with any other settings, nor tried it in stock 7.1.1.

The focus is definitely much faster on point & shoot than the one I linked (total amateur here,my photo needs are rudimentary at the most, LOL)
Unless I'm missing something, seems you have to exit the camera & go to your file app of choice to view the most recent pic. Not sure if this is a known issue, or, user error on my part......

After Samsung update today, Gcam stopped working????

Hi,
For some reason, got an update from samsung this morning, latest One UI 2.5.
After updating my Gcam stopped working, tried several different apps but
still stops and closes when opened. Any ideas???

That's a little concerning. Can you download Camera2 API Probe from the Play store and see if the camera still supports RAW capture?
Also try this specific gcam to see if it works for you https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/NGCam_7.4.104-v1.4_snapcam.apk

Samsung must have done something in the 2.5 update to OneUi that caused it for me.

Lol clearing data for the app should get it working again. Bigger question though is do you remember which options you changed that broke it?

Nope, maybe reinstall later and try again,

So I tried Hypercam. When I switched to the telephoto it completed crashed. Wipe data and got everything back. Front-facing camera just hangs.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying different GCam versions. Some partially worked, namely some HyperCam versions and TrCamera versions. Couldn't seem to get the front camera working on any versions, however. No matter what RAW and Viewfinder format I chose, the front camera would either hang, or cause the app to crash. I rooted through as many settings as I could think to change around to get the front camera working, but nothing was working for me. So I would imagine that the versions that are closing immediately may have some sort of front camera configuration that is now not playing nice after the 2.5 update.
Definitely very strange, hoping a dev can nail this down, because I have been trying to use Samsung's camera app and, boy it's just not comparable to GCam, especially the front camera.

I have attached the camera info.
It looks like the front facing camera is not giving RAW.
Also since I didn't mention it previously I am using a Snapdragon USA unlocked S20

Looks like both those IDs on the update don't allow RAW capture. That must be part of the problem. Do you know if it is fixable?

Thanks guys. Super useful info. I don't know if it's fixable but I'm passing the info to the gcam testing group that I'm in so hopefully one of the devs will see and know what to do about it.
