Camera issues: Circle-Ring in the middle - anyone came accross this?

So I have few issues with the camera. All in this album. Sorry if its already
reported.
2. This I noticed by accident. It actually doesn't show well on the original picture 7 picture in the above posted album. But I noticed that circle to be present in the preview everywhere even if very very very difficult to spot. And you need to have really good eyes to see it. However when saving the pic, the circle vanishes a little, but with little tinkering I was able to make it show. In the album is the original also to see. I tried another applications like ZoomFx or Camera ICS, and they didnt show this circle in the preview. I do not want to experiment with the pics taken from them so I can think this is just the original camera issue.
HOW TO: Just open the HTC Camera app, and look on the screen, right in the middle, and focus on near objects, hand, wall, 10-20-30-40 cm away, the ring shape should reveal itself when moving the phone. You should notice the shape always the same.

1. I had no effect on. And I wasn't reproduce this since (also didn't do so many pics since as well) Is this some effect or an issue?
3.
How to get rid of the pinkish, violet hue? When changing it to daylight its too much yellow. You can see how it should look like in the picture nr. 2 in the album. I took that picture (2), I focused on the tree/sun up , moved the cam quickly down and took the picture before it changed to the pink like you can see on this pic.
Thanks for any help.

I have seen that also on a few occasions, I have except once noticed the problem and closed the camera app and reloaded it and it solved the issue. Only once has the image saved like that.

Which of the issues ? 1.2.3 ?
That 1. might be temporary 3. might be solved by settings I hope
but the 2. seems to be strange. Also I have the feeling its not only mine HOX having this. It was really hard to spot. But its present everywhere, even if extremely hard to spot.
Next week I will check out 3 other HOXes to see if its there as well.

Issue 1 only, not the other two.

Kinda think that the 2 is actually and as I wrote up, more ppl will have it.
Can you try what I wrote? Just make the camera on, try to look on near objects through it. your hand, wall, table, something red-yellow, when you see a shape that's not changing and its staying always in the middle.
Best to make the grid option on, and it will be directly in the middle grid quadrant.
Its big so it fills it out actually, so not needed to look for something tiny 1mm.

Last bump.
I still think, many can see the 2 if they try. Would like someone who could explain or address this.

I have experienced 2 once, I am sure this is a software related bug.

I would say you don't "experience" this, you might "notice" this once. I believe its always there, maybe the software just filters it out to some extent but on some pics it will be visible nevertheless. Btw as I said the 2 I had to filter, edit till I could make the shape visible like that.

[TEAM XPOSED] Various options unlocked (EnableCameraInCall, JoinMoreThan5Contacts)

Hi guys. Some of you may not have known this but there are a TON of configurable options on our GS3s without even touching or modifying any system files. You've gotta hand it to Samsung for making things so easy to customize with their /system/csc/feature.xml file.
Join More than 5 contacts:
Navigate to /system/csc/feature.xml and open with editor:
Add this in under <!-- Contacts -->
Code:
<CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>_INSERT_NUMBER_</CscFeature_Contact_SetLinkCountMaxAs>
You can put whatever number you want there. I chose 15 because it seems like a good number haha.
Save & close.
Enable camera while in call:
Navigate to /system/csc/feature.xml and open with editor:
Add this in under <!-- Camera -->
Code:
<CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>true</CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>
Save & close.
Shutter sound (currently doesn't work on some ROMs but the option appears):
Code:
<!-- Camera -->
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Simply changing this line to TRUE will get you a shutter sound option in your camera options. This file contains a ton of different configurable options for your phone, but beware, changing something in here could have a very negative impact on your phone without you even knowing it and may leave you scratching your head in the future if you completely forgot you've changed something here.
Is this file executed/parsed on every boot? Yes and no. I know it is on first boot of a factory reset device. It is also set to run on boot, but I haven't changed anything in here since my first boot to test it out.
If you do try this on an already setup system, please report back with results. Thank you and enjoy!

Hah....What do ya know..you're right lol

I should say I'm running NoWizAOSPmod 1.3 in case that's relevant. I don't think the shutter sound is disabled by default on this ROM, but I can't say I tested it before modding the xml file.

What MMS options?

This worked perfectly well for me. I've rebooted the phone numerous times and the setting sticks and there is no sound. I even tried taking pictures from within different apps and there's no sound.

How do you get it to save? I've edited the file but it won't save.

OP you may want to ask to move this in general. I just tried this on Verizon and it works perfectly. Great find!
Also you can remove unremoveable bookmarks in the browser by editing /system/csc/customer.xml and changing the editable "no" to a yes. Keep in mind you will need to close and wipe the browser data from the application menu.

You answered your own question.

This just isn't working on my phone. Yes, it added the menu to turn it off and on but I still get the shutter sound no matter what it's set to.

Those look rather nice any chance of links to them in full resolution?

HDR Auto / Other enhacements ON.
Will use VSCO camera in the next days to see how it's behaving - as the default app seems to me that is getting oof even in the easiest situations.

@Allewar that looks a nice place, where are your pics taken

Good image quality, better than reviewers had made me believe.

Camera quality looks better than i have been hearing :good:

The three pictures here are from the stock camera (host: flickr... You're adviced!)
The quality is not that good using the stock camera. Using the Lenovo Supercamera or Focal they look much better as you are in control of the manual adjustments.

It would be great if you could post some low light pics as well.
I plan to buy the Moto G as soon as it is available in India.

Now that is an interesting tip.

Did some research on Camera apps ... looks like Ultra HD Camera app takes impressive shots in low light with Flash ON, however in normal indoor light (bedroom lights) Default Camera app takes slightly better shots

Well, if you downloaded the latest version (3.5.5) I am afraid to tell you it didn't work with me either. Just the first version (release) did.
Some of its features give force close in almost every device though. For example, Panorama cannot be used properly. The same happens to "Magic GIF" and some filter options as well as the "Super Gallery". All the other Configuration options work superb by the way, even normal GIF and a few filters.
The thread where I (think) got the first release from is the following:
[App][Share] Lenovo k900 Camera
I'm not 100% sure, but check that out. I'll try to re-upload the one I have.
UPDATE: Here's the link to the one I am using:
Lenovo Super Camera.apk (Host: Mega)
UPDATE 2: This is another thread with the original and 2 other updates. The latest (3.5.5) does not work for me, but the first release as well as the first update (3.1.3) do work.
[APP][4.1+] ●Lenovo Super Camera v3.5 for all phones 4.1+ w/o phone calling perm●

Advanced Professional Camera App

What's going on guys?
I am looking for an app that I can get that will control aperture, exposer, shutter speed, white balance, ISO, and focus. So far all the apps I've tried, none support aperture except one VERY basic one that was made for long exposure shots. But that was the only thing I could change. Any ideas?

The bottom line is you will never get a better shot from hTc 10 than with HTC Pro Camera 1.90.401.5 (as of the moment of this typing)..

Better off using RAW mode and do everything else in Adobe Lightroom. No aftermarket camara app can do better than the official one now.

I really just want aperture control

anyone know of an app that can control aperture?

I might be wrong, but there is no way to control aperture on a phone camera. Phone cams have fixed apertures. 'adjustments' on apps are just simulating it via gain etc...

hmmmm im trying to do something like this, but i need a slow shutter, but lowering shutter to 16s allows WAY to much light in even with the ISO down to 100. what can i do/how can i make it so that less light comes into the sensor at 16s shutter speed?

What I did was to stick a ND (neutral density) filter to the lens.
I tried this with the M8, to achieve this photo
Now with the laser focus, not too sure if the filter will cause an error in focusing.

hmmmm, filters are the only method you know of to produce this?
thats an awesome pic BTW!

Using ND filters is also the way to go for dslr photography. ND filters are basically dark glass to limit the amount of light reaching the sensor.

what about this app?
it does what i want an i can change aperture. its just a crappy app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.longexposure2
if you click, not light trace, but the other one, and choose aperture and save the photo, it comes up in details about the pic as different aperture that you set in the app.

I have the paid version of this app. Limitations is that it only saves photos at max 1920x 1080.
Its not true aperture adjustments too. Basically it's overlaying parts of the photo with light traces.

photos disappeared

i was looking at my photos this morning and noticed some were not loading properly or were just blurring looking, and then when i went to send some via text nothing was loading. I then restarted the phone and all the photos were gone. I dont have backup and synced enabled, i went to look in the DCIM folder and there are no files in the camera folder. I am on pie, and am not rooted. I also tried another gallery app and that did nothing. Is there anyway to get the pictures back?
any help is appreciated.

That's super strange. What's your storage usage say? Is it showing something like only 16 GB used as if it's been all deleted?
This is why I do use Google Photos backup. It's unlimited full quality AND free. Sorry but I had to say it.

Check January 1, 2009 in your album
Did you ever find a solution to this? I just got this phone and was really upset to lose photos of our vacation in the middle of nowhere. I could find the thumbnails, but not the high quality images. I could tell they were somewhere because the photos app was making stylized images with them. One of them was titled New Year's Day 2009. My phone thinks it's Jan 1 if I turn it on where I don't have service. A lightbulb went off in my husband's head, he told me to check my photos by date and go back to 1/1/09. They were there!! An annoying problem I hope Google fixes, but I'm so happy to have my photos!
