[Q] Huge camera problem - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I'm having a great problem with my D855 (16 Gb). When I bought the phone, I had some camera problems, like a lot of colored pixels all over the picture (only rear facing camera). It disappeared suddenly, but now it has returned. I don't know how to solve it. It's a pity, because I can't take any decent picture. How can i solve it?
P.D: I'm running AndroidNow 7.2, but I'm having this problem with any kind of ROM (Stock or AOSP)

Might be noise, caused by high iso settings. That is perfectly normal. Are you shooting in low light or high iso?
It could also be that the camera sensor is suffering from hot pixels, but those don't usually appear in high amounts.

If you'd upload a sample picture it would be easier for us to judge.

It's more clear in low light situations, but it's too obvious in low light situations. I've tried even factory reset and ROM change, but it doesn't work

As you can see, it appears in "stripes", so I think it might be a problem with the camera controller (you're saying it's not depending on the rom). I'd contact LG to get the device replaced.

I tried but it's only happening with the ROM I'm using (AndroidNow)
Would you please help me? I need the camera for work T.T

Earlier you said it was happening even with stock. It's def a camera driver/hardware issue. You'll need to have it looked at

It looks like a bad sensor. Is it happening consistently in different camera apps? What happens if you try a camera app such as Camera360 that lets you alter the ISO (in normal mode)?
If possible, can you upload samples taken against a solid white background under even lighting?
Please, anyone??? i have the same problem.... i've changed the camera, still fail
sounds like a hardware issue gents.

I had the exact same issue on HTC G2, it's indeed hardware. The great news is it's just a mechanical issue: Push on the camera, perpendicular to the battery case (straight into the phone). It will fix this issue.
Lots of success with this method at androidforums. I cannot post a link, but google "androidforums evo camera 152727"
Cheers

+1. I had this with all three of the G1's I owned, and I had it with my G2 not too long ago. Not sure why this keeps happening, but just put the phone screen down on a table, and push down on the camera. One of the strangest fixes ever but hey, whatever works!

[Q] Running alterROM and Mms sending low quality pics. Help

Trying out a new Rom and I love it. But my friends are only getting low quality picture messages from me...and this can't fly.
I sent myself a picture in an email and it was high quality just as it shows in my gallery. Grr...
Any remedies?
Check the format of the picture, pngs have better quality of jpegs from what I know.

Thanks but when I mean low I mean low. Like all pixelated.
And it wasn't a problem until I changed Roms. But I HAD to change. And aside from this issue its awesome. It's definitely high quality and 8m in my camera settings. I even tried sending pics I took with the last Rom that I knew were high quality and the same problem occured.
Okay.. hmm... I'm thinking if the problem persists, you could try a fresh install of the Rom. Restart entirely. Sometimes that helps. If that doesn't help, you could talk to the Rom developer himself and discuss it.
thanks

Tried both, still waiting on a second reply from the dev but his first response he had never heard of that problem.
I use my phone to send higher res pictures all the time. This is kinda torquing my banana. Haha

[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 ?

[Q] Xperia S photo focus issue?!?!

Hi guys...
There's one stupid and annoying issue that happens in my Sony Xperia S when taking photos!
I don't know if it's global, but i don't think so, because i didn't see anyone else claiming about it.
When i'm taking photos with close focus (like 20cm distance), i press camera button to focus and it shows green, but the image is a little blured, and i press the button all the way down to take the photo even with the blured image, and then the pre-visualisation of image is well focused...
I have already tried to focus again like 20cm distance, and then move the phone so the image gets not blured, like with excellent focus, then i take the photo, and it gets with really bad focus... -_-
I have already tried different camera mods, like advanced stock camera, cybershot mod, all the same.
Any one with same issue? Any way to fix it?
you can fix with root
you need to edit build prop though
Ill paste some things for you to put in your build prop later

I have centered metering, ISO auto, auto-focus i have already tried single, multi and touch focus.
I've also tried taking fotos with original camera, camera FV5 and Lenovo supercamera. All of them with the same problem.
Taking photos with flash at night, preview is really fast and i can't see if it do the same like without flash...
I have to try to record with my brother's Honamy, maybe it's visible while recording that way, since i can't capture screen while taking photos...
The worst problem is when i try to take macro photos or taking photos with super macro lens. Being really hand-stable isn't enough. I have to get used to this focus issue :/

I just don't know where to find the original camerra app... I've searched but i couldn't find it for JB...
I have stock ROM with DoomKernel, 96FW Rooted and unlocked.
I have only moded notification bar, Home.apk, and Camera (cybershot)... and build.prop but only adding lines not related with camera.
Maybe it's my phone's fault... Thanks anyway for your help.

[Q] Snapchat - Unable to Record

Hello everybody!
So I flashed Liquid Smooth v2.37 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150911) on my Note 2.
Upon use, I noticed that my Snapchat is unable to record anything for longer than a second unless it is literally just recording darkness. Covering the camera allows me to record for the max amount of time or until I let go of the camera and have it record anything other than darkness (which ends it).
I would like to know if anyone has a fix for this or if this is just something that will have to be fixed by the Snapchat Devs themselves. Thank you!

Okay never had that happen. I'll flash it, trouble shoot it for myself and get back to you.

Sorry about the late response been kinda busy. I'm on the ROM now and if I change camera quality to low it takes a full video but changing it back to automatic or standard results in a shortened video still. Still working on it
