I have the latest CM 10.1 d2spr nightly and I'm noticing that when I take a picture (either with the camera app or another app that has camera support), I have no preview of it after it's taken.
For instance, in the Facebook app, once you take a photo, you're given a checkmark and an X to decide whether or not you want to accept or reject the taken photo. With mine, I take the picture, the screen flashes to indicate the photo's been taken, but the on-screen image continues in camera mode. So I have no idea what the picture I've just taken looks like.
Is everybody's like this or just mine and there's a setting I haven't noticed to change yet?

I have the same problem, apparently the solution is to use a custom camera app for those in-app photos and use the native app to take regular pictures... I'm still trying to figure out how though
Hi.. maybe i'm missing something (very probable), but i can't seem to find out if it's possible to have both buttons on the camera screen at once, for taking a photo or starting a video recording.
I've attached three pics to show what i'm on about.
1st shows M8 camera screen. Only button is to take a picture.
2nd shows M8 dual shot screen, on here it's possible to do both, take a pic or start a video.
3rd is from the One X camera screen. On it it's also possible to do both from the same screen.
Is it possible to get both options on screen on the M8? or do i have to keep switching between photo & video mode in the menu? which is a bit annoying if i want to quickly take a picture but have forgotten to switch to photo mode!
Thanks in advance for any help. :good:
That'll be a no then
By going to video mode (press the 4 circles in bottom right of the screen and select video), you can start recording video, and after you record a while, 2-3 sec, a camera button (that captures images while recording) appears under the stop button.
I don't know if there is any other way to get them both simultaneously.
The second pic is dual capture mode. This mode allows to use front and back camera at the same time not take a pic and video. You can see the red box in the corner which is the front camera image.

What i meant is that the buttons to take a picture or start recording a video are both on screen.
What i hoped for was a way to have it like the last pic from the One X, so that as soon as you start the camera up you can have photo & video buttons on screen.. but it seems as if that's not possible, maybe because of the two cameras on the back of the M8?

What about the Zoe option? You can take pictures with it or you can hold the "capture" button in for 3 seconds or so and it starts recording a video.

There already is that option in camcorder mode. As soon as you start recording the camera button becomes available for taking pictures.

This isn't exactly the best option since you lose any ability to use the duo camera effects if you take pictures with Zoe. Does anyone know of any mods that bring back the photo capture and video capture buttons on the stock Sense 6 camera UI screen at the same time?
On my Moto 360 i can change the watch face colors around. Im not seeing that on the Smartwatch 3. Am i missing something? I dont see a sony app either for this phone like motorola has for the 360.

You need to download Android wear from the play store...you can change the watch face by long pressing the face of the watch...there are not too many things you can with it at this time
That's a Motorola thing. All other android wear watches you can only choose the face.
Try the facer app. Lets you create any face and colors as long as you put some effort in images or downloaded samples (facerepo.com)
When you take a selfie, the picture that gets saved is flipped and not what it shows you when you are about to take it. Every other phone allows you to flip the selfie, but there is no option on the Pixel. Any mod to get this working? I know there are apps to flip it, but it would be much better if it did it automatically.
Any third party photo editing app can do this.
Snapseed is my editor of choice
I know I heard that night sight isn't available yet, but where is auto focus tracking, top shot, and live lens? Just got my white 128gb Pixel 3 XL and none of those features are present.

They all work on my phone.
Lens, is in More. To be honest, I'm not sure how to get top shot going, nor auto focus tracking in video...
You do the updates...go to camera app and select more?

auto focus tracking is done by tapping a subject on the screen.
night sight already works, check these forums.
top shot: Open camera app in your Google Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Now take a picture with your device, Now open the picture you took with your Pixel 3 & Pixel 3 XL, Swipe up the screen until you see photo details, Now move finger left or right until you see recommended. You can pick the recommended one as the best picture.
Lens is supposed to work in the regular viewfinder for the camera, not as a separate mode. Top Shot does not work. Super res zoom does not work. Anyone know what's up with these features?

Night sight is in a modded camera apk. I know all about that.
Interestingly enough, auto focus tracking only started working in the stock camera AFTER installing the modded camera apk (CameraP3) .
But still no super res zoom or top shot in stock camera on the Pixel 3 XL.

Top shot works. Make sure motion is on (not auto). Like someone mentioned above, after photo is taken view the photo and swipe up, you'll see a bunch of photos taken with the top shot selected.

top shot is those motion photos it's a circle on top it'll say motion off/motion auto/motion on turn it on and when you view the pic swipe up for the details and that's where you fine the different shots

With motion set to on, it works, but isn't anywhere near as intuitive as other videos I've seen. I have to click on the preview, then swipe up, THEN click on recommended shots, then I'm able to check out the top shots. I thought you just swiped up from the viewfinder and it immediately took you to the top shot of the last photo you took.

Yeah, I've seen several videos where they show just that; they take the picture and it's there, they don't leave the camera for the preview or any of that. Some editing going on there I guess. At any rate I had expected to find it in the camera app. Same with adjusting the bokah on portraits, I expected a slider in the camera screen, not having to switch to the preview and then fiddle it from there. In other words some reviews have led me to believe I could do it both during and after taking the photo. IMO opinion thats most def how it should be. Overall the camera app isn't as easy to figure out as with a sammy where you can figure things out just clicking around. I had to do an internet search to find out how to do the top shot.

yup "motion on" is not the same thing as top shot for me.
So where is top shot at

Except it is. Make sure it is on and not auto, take a picture, click on the picture on the bottom right, then swipe up. You'll see a bunch of pictures from left to right (pretty small), you can either click on one, or slide one way. Trust me, it's there. I used it last night.
From what I see, the best quality overall picture is the one you initially see (the clearest + people smiling). However, I selected some different ones because I liked the way my kids looked better in some other shots. Overall, I really dig.
Yeah, we understand it's there, the comment refers to the idea that if you have to resort to an internet search to figure out how to turn on a headline feature in a camera app the camera app GUI needs improvement. Why would I expect I need to turn on a seemingly unrelated setting called "motion on" to turn on top shot which itself has no switch enabling it anywhere in the settings? Not exactly intuitive.

Ah, true. I didn't know until this thread myself. They need to add a button that says top shot I think.
