Camera flash issues - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having issues with nexus 5x, with flash on & HDR off a the flash is pathetic in a Dark room the flash goes off but all the photos are dark? Or when there is a little light with flash forced on the room is no brighter??? Help.
In a bright room if I force the flash on the photo goes dark? This makes no logic?
A your else having problems?

Think I have found the problem, when the battery goes below 20% the flash looses most of its power.

Same problem here, when battery goes below 15% and i take a picture of near subject, the photo is almost all black. Does it happen to someone other?
I think however is a simply intrinsic energy saver...

Here's another thread with the same issue:

What have you guys done about your flash issues? Warranty?
I'm in the process of warrantying now along with garryboy. Just waiting for Google to send me the refurb unit before I send them mine.
Sent from my annoying Nexus 5X

Here is a solution
Hi guys i have a solution for this
The problem is android optimize the camera app for battery life
go to configuration->battery->battery optimization
then select option "all aplications", search for camera app and select no optimize
try again and compare

It may sound stupid, but use the WhatsApp app..
I tried every other app than the stock camera and it doesn't take the photo after/before the flash turned on..
Tell me if it did work to you ?
*** EDIT : another solution that worked the best for me :
Use the camera nx with the zsl ! It works great with the flash unlike the stock camera app..

it work like a magic for me ! thanks

Re. camera restarting phone - it's been reported that when on autobrightness, the camera will reboot the phone sometimes. Using an alternative camera app (like Camera 360 for instance), or not using autobrightness for the display, will help.
I also had this problem, and since switching camera apps it hasn't happened.
Changing that and now work fine. Thx @rafithegreat .
And Video Recoring in 720p now is very bad. Even if I play in MoboPlayer it's not so smooth.
Now recordingin norma.
One more question: how to turn on Time Stamp when I'm taking photo?

dawpuc, I've your same problem.
I've tried to change some radios and rils, but the problem remains.
I don't want to use an alternative camera app, because I like the default app.
I also would like to continue to use the autobrightness utility, because I need it.
Can anyone help me?
P.S.: do you know how can I add the timestamp to my photos directly on the photo in one of the corners?
Why would anyone want time stamps?
On a digital camera, it is the very first thing I turn off.

Hi, I have the same problem using Insertcoin CM7 V1.1.2 . The problem has gotten worse since Insertcoin 1.1.1. Back then only the camera would crash.
Since updating to Insertcoin 1.1.2 the camera freezes the whole phone. I have to take the battery out to reboot manually.
I've used a card gparted with ext3 and ext4 both.
At one point the camera kept working but images were not saved properly. Windows then detected problems with the card and some images were placed in the found folder during the check.
The crashes also happen with the separate Sense 3 camera zip linked on Insertcoin's blog. To be honest that one does not look different from the bundled camera and I have the idea that the problems started with the Sense 3 camera.
Hope this makes more people aware of the issue and perhaps attracts the attention of a dev.

GS3 Camera Issue:take picture but when shows up in gallery much darker

I've tried to change the settings including the mode and exposure but same issue. Like I said when I am about to take a picture and looking at the screen, lighting is great, I take the picture but then when it hits the gallery it is so much darker.
Any ideas? I changed over from the nexus s which always took awsome pics and this is supposed to be better so any help would be appreciated.
I have not gone to a custom rom yet fyi.
appreciate the help
I notice that too. I think it's because the phone automatically turns brightness all the way up in the camera app, then it goes back to the brightness you set to when you exit the camera app. So that makes the picture turns out to look a lot darker.
try wiping the app data

bit of a novice so if you might explain the steps involved would be appreciated thank you in advance...
seems like the first suggestion helped the gallery show up brighter. what I did was go in and uncheck the automatic display and just set at a higher brightness.
any other suggestions always welcome
go to setting>apps>all>scroll and tap camera app>wipe data

thank you I will try that. low light shots seem to pose some challenges...and the flash washes out..gonna have to play around a bit with this to see if I can improve. Doesn't make sense that my nexus s seemed to take better shots but sure if I tweak some things I can get this on track

Problem with video camera in Xperia ION

hi i have a problem, when i use the camera of my cel in the places where there are Light of day/White light (example street, school), my cam and video cam works 100%, and takes nice photos, the problem is when i use my cam where there are warm light/ yellow light (example my house when i have turned on the light) the video cam has got lot of noise and i checked the isos, mensuration,focusing, and nothing, and the problem continues
I think that the problem appeared when sony upgraded my cel from 6.1.c.1.105 to 6.1.c.1.111, i dont know if this is the problem but i did not notice that the camera never has had noise in the version 6.1.c.1.105
Any Help?

Hi again, ty i gonna try it, i have 1 question, if i install that camera mod cyber shot and then i dont wanna use anymore that cam, can i uninstall it going to settings, aplications? and replace it for the original camera with titanium back up ?
tyty
Just make sure you have a backup before you flash it. If you don't like cyber then delete it and restore the stock one. Though as stated Cyber shot is a big step forward and once you get the settings correct it works great. The one thing I have noticed about the camera in general is the auto mode is not that great. Whyle cyber shot's superior auto is better I tend to use manual mode for crisper shots.

nvm i solved this, ty!
Sorry
hey infraa sorry i didnt respond xD i had my highschool sophmore finals xD mah bad haha and its good you solved it
Its a system app so you need root to delete it. I was just saying you could use Titanium Backup for the old one so you would have the option to replace it easily. Glad you got it working.

Flashlight [ON] Running in Background

I know there are apps that provide the flashlight option.
My main goal is to have a constant flash on as I take pictures, not taking pictures with flash on.
I want to already provide light to an object in a dark space from my phone, and take pictures without flash.
I know before I switched to the Galaxy Note 3, I was on a rooted HTC Sensation, and it had a flashlight option in the quick menu, which allowed me to do what I'm trying to do.
Does anyone know how to do this without rooting yet?
There are apps for that
There is an app that is a flashlight that gets really really bright and is adjustable. It does require root though. It's called adjustable torch. I actually use it for the same purpose. Hope this helps.

just curious as to what you are shooting that you need light on to find it then the ligh off to take a pic!
Sure the explanation will be funny as heck in a Ron White show.

alright, i'm definitely not explaining this correctly.
how do i keep my flashlight ON, on my phone (running in the background), while I do other stuff on my phone?
You can't keep your flash light on, and use the camera at the same time. You need to have it off, and use the flash capability through the camera settings.
I don't like the flash, but if my flash light on my phone can run in the background, I could take pictures in the dark without using the flash action.
Am I making sense? I hope so ? ):

Ok Gotcha. Only way i know to do this is to take pics from the video camera. Then you can go back and delete the video file.

[Q] Android 4.4.3 Manual Camera Mode Slow

My phone is fully stock and has never been rooted. I updated to 4.4.3 a few days ago, and notice the manual mode in the camera is slow. Even if I use the fastest shutter speed, it takes a few seconds to take a picture. Auto mode is quick as usual. Anybody have a solution?

I'm glad I'm not alone with this one. Hopefully there will be a fix for this. I deleted the app data. It didn't do anything

Well you are not alone.
In the topic regarding the pics taken with the M8 we were discussing about the fact that now you can't see anymore what you shoot when using 4 second shutter speed (very annoying ) and also I've noticed like you that now in manual mode it's incredible slow.
I don't know I'd we are in the right place to discuss this matter...Personally I'm upset because I don't understand why they did this mess. I'm not fan of the UltraPixel camera and neither a fanboy, so I get used to the m8 camera, but now with this change HTC left me very disappointed.
I don't think they will revert back to the old camera...For them this is an improvement...

Man, that's crazy. The only improvement the camera needed was HDR mode (I use the lock focus trick, but I wish that wasn't needed), and removing the purple fringing if that was possible to fix in the software. Oh, if HTC added a fast shutter priority mode, that would have been nice.
But yes, they need to fix manual mode.
