Hey guys, I just bought my Sony M5 and one of the reasons that I bought it was because its front camera.
But checking now the quality of the front camera I'm very dissapointed. I think the camera of my phone has a defect.
It doesn't focus. All the pictures are blurry and has no details.
In the picture above I pointed to focus the keyboard. As you can see the letters are all blurry.
Anyone already had or saw this problem?

I had a Xperia Z2 but it was stolen. I didn't say that i used to have better picture quality, but ok.
I'm returning my M5 to the store to exchange for a new one.
Looking on the internet the picutes taken with m5 is obvious that my phone came with a bad camera.

I have the same problem and I have already changed device thanks to the shop in the UK. Not sure what do next.
Both have focus problems. Neither can focus very far away. The front one focuses about 6-12 inches away the rear no more than about 5-10m away.
Close up the photos are razor sharp, otherwise they have increasing levels of out-of-focus issues.
If this is a common fault then maybe we swap to another device. If this is the batch, maybe get Sony to fix?
Did you guys tried manual settings,i was playing a little bit with those settings and i got a more detailed front facing camera pictures...

@pren22
What do you mean? This phone does not support camera2 APIs so there is no manual focus.
If you mean did I try something other than "superior auto" then yes I tried other settings and other apps.
But if you have some samples that you can share, that would be excellent!
I had a back camera focus problem so visited the store to check if it is specific to my device. Demo device on the store had no problem and my devices was replaced. It was not a setting issue cause I tried in every setting. Google camera app also took blurred pictures. Now, the new device has front camera problem, repeatedly focusing making "tik" sound while focusing. Store staff agreed about the problem cause their demo devices' front camera are working fine. But they refused to replace since 5 weeks passed after my purchase. I sent it to the Sony. They refused the problem and said it is normal!. I insist and now waiting for refund. I also purchased a Z5 Compact together with M5 and it died after OTA update. Sony accepted refund for Z5C. These two will be the last Sony smartphones I will ever buy!

My front camera also used to make a "tik" sound when i tried to focus.
Now i'm waiting the store send to me a new device. Almost half month without a cell phone.
had my phone back from Sony UK, they did not replace anything, however said the fault was cured. However this is not the case, the pictures are not in focus if held more than a foot away.
Not pleased with Sony at all!

Just FYI, this "click" noise in front camera seems normal. My unit also makes this little noise on front camera and despite that I can safely say that 90% of time I get perfectly focused photos, regardless of the distance, both cameras working very well...

Good morning,
in a german forum android-hilfe.de there is a thread with pictures taken by a lime z1c with led light - all of the pictures have a yellow shine.
For me this looks like an hardware issues on ALL the z1c devices of the first charges but maybe in the black one the problem is not easy to see.
What do you guys think about that?
Here is the link to the thread with the pictures in first post:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/sony-xp...ei-der-verarbeitung-kamera-bilder-inside.html
Could the be a major issue of this brand new device?
GSMArena complained about some issues with their review model. My white one doesn't have any of these issues, seems fine to me
What the !?

I sometimes get a slight blueish shot but that's because of the.auto mode and not a hardware issue. Transfer the image to snapped and increase the warmth. Problem solved

It is a hardware issue. The problem is the back of the device. It reflects the flash light which then hits the camera lens.
I can create pictures under the same conditions with my Xperia T - but I don't get that fog-effect.
took a shot yesterday from that...."thing" that used to be a snowman. Can't see any fog there? (taken w/ z1c black)

Flat glass can't reflect light into the.camera lense. But just out of curiosity I tested your theory. Covered the back in a matt vinyl. Same effect

Tried various settings, all the same. I still think this might be resolved by new firmwares in the near future. If it would be some kind of hardware issue, wouldn't this also affect pictures taken from less than 3 meters distance like those?

Huh.. Seems that I was wrong. Took some automatic "sky at night" pictures - the pictures were blueish. Then I changed into Manual mode and got nice black pics. Seems the reflection is not really strong, but superior mode creates a superior reflection ._.

I don't expect full quality pictures at night, but you can definitely see that this is a hardware related problem (reflective back) - this is not what I expected from a 500€ phone. (I still like it, but I hate the fact that the camera fails so badly)

This is not the point. Even a weak LED flash must not (!!) mess up the pictures taken.
at least, Sony seems to be aware of the problem now. I'm curious how this will work out. Still thinking of a software related problem. (e.g. better controlling of the LED might help, like changing the time between shutter and light etc.)
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ison-shots/td-p/541415/highlight/false/page/3
Can confirm this issue on mine, though I think its impact is exaggerated. The only normal situation (i.e. not covering the flash with your finger) where you see the issue is on long range dark shots, on which you shouldn't really be using the flash anyway
Edit: took a few example shots.. (ignore the overall quality, didnt bother focusing properly)
Without flash: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6953585/DSC_0050.JPG

And for completeness sake, flash covered with finger: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6953585/DSC_0051.JPG (should stress that my finger is not visible over the lens in the viewfinder, the colour here is purely reflection)
Guess what seems to fix the problem....

I installed the newer Motorola camera from my Droid Mini onto the M. Everything seems to work for the most part, except the screen gets jumpy and glitchy when scrolling the settings wheel. It takes photos much faster. It was taking several seconds to take a photo with the original camera, so the newer Moto camera is a huge improvement in that regard. I don't know if the image quality is any better or worse, looked kind of bad to me, but I thought the photos looked kind of bad with the original camera ever since KK anyway. Might just be because indoors and not enough light though.

The Razr M's camera/sensor is terrible. My pictures come out foggy, grainy, and ever since KitKat...pinkish. Using Moto's new camera or Google's camera, my pictures don't come out with the pinkish hue, but there still terrible. My Galaxy Nexus takes better photos, and that camera sucks... bad.
Not as good as my iPhone 4S or Droid Mini. I just took a few indoor pics and they look out-of-focus and grainy. I don't know if they would look better with the stock camera since the new Moto camera replaces the stock camera app so I can't try both easily. Stock camera was just too damn slow to be useful. Moment is gone before it takes the pic. I feel like once upon a Jellybean, the phone used to take decent pics, and stock camera wasn't nearly as slow. I have a few pics that came out pretty decent that I was sure were taken on the M long ago, on JB. Granted, they were all outdoor pics.
I think even on KK, the pics it takes might be better than the Kyocera Hydro Elite I had (surprisingly bad for 8MP) and way better pics than the LG Lucid 2 which had the worst 5MP camera considering its speed/performance level was close to the RAZR M. Usually you only see cameras as bad as the Lucid 2's on cheap plastic single-core prepaid phones that come in blister packs.
thank u all very much i pressed it
Well after bith of your opinions and the revuews i read i think i will be looking else were for a phone fot work i need a cheap phone with a decent camera oh well thinking aout a used s3 or a used 4s thanks again guys if i could just strech for a used droid dna hope to see you all in anither forum
Hmmm, well, I guess the pics are not TOO awful.
Took a couple pics of my car with the newer Moto camera (don't make fun, it's an antique, lol). One in the morning, one in the afternoon. I think old camera probably took better pics, but was unbearably slow and the newer one takes pics instantly. I had HDR and spot focus turned off.

anyone know where to buy the replacement for the camera of HTC One M7 Sprint version ?, I have understood that the 801E is not compatible with the Sprint model .
I found the secret place where you can disassembly your M7 so easly.
1- Take the sim tray out
2- put your tool between the sim tray and the screen and go all the way down
I will try to upload pictures this week

Hi Guys,
I need some advice on the subjected problem. I have an HTC One m7 801s handheld device. After 2.5 yrs the battery was bleeding out and I had the pink tint problem as many other early devices did.
So I decided to upgrade those two parts of the device since the rest of the phone was pleasant for me.
I ordered an alleged 2800mAh battery from Aliexpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...NE-M7-802D-802T-802W-801E-801S/526641029.html) and a replacement camera module.
On a quiet Sunday morning I did the operation and the patient survived however the camera module did not work as expected.
Please see the attached pics. After I started taking photos the edge of the pic remained blurry then as I tried to focus on closer items I discovered the camera did not go back to its original position and finally it ended up only making macro photos.
Do you think it could be the problem of assembly or simply a hardware problem in the replacement camera module?
It is new camera module broblem. This issus not having your pink problem camera?
Could be the settings or try a camera app see if it takes pictures normally.

I picked up a 2014 manufactured version of The developers Edition after alot of complaints about the pink tint in the 2013 early versions. Even though this is a developer's Edition I was hit by that bug.
Right now I think the battery and camera are what I need to replace. Where do you suggest we find these parts? Author of this post pointed out a camera module from AliExpress, what about the battery? And like hell I don't want to open the case up, I messed up my iPhone doing that a while back.
Camera replacement
I didn't do it myself. Nor would I suggest anyone to do it at home or makeshift repair shop. The M7 has very beautiful build design and it would be a shame to ruin it.
I gave the phone at the HTC Pune service centre. Got it back without a scratch. They charge you extra for non India specific device... I don't know why.
Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Sony Xperia XZ Premium come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Bar Beach; Newcastle, NSW Australia. The XZP takes a darned nice photo.
the frustrating thing is, the hardware is capable of so much more, its really just the post processing that lets it down, a finer degree of control would be more useful or even allow RAW so we can do the editing later.
low light shots are a different matter, that's probably an optical limitation more then anything else. a CMOS / CCD is only ever as good as the optics the light passes through.
I'm very disappointed with the low detail of the camera.

Oh wow the 3rd an 4th ones look great. I dont see how people can complain about the camera on any mobile device honestly. I came from an Xperia Z2 which had a phenomenal camera I was really impressed with it. The fact I could flash cyberian camera mod just made it even better. That gave me the ISO sensitivity equivalent to our XZP. The mod allowd for the Z3 to support 25600 ISO which I believe is higher than out XZP.
Just check out some of the photos I took on my Z2 here on my G+ page: https://plus.google.com/116272109758114321506
Completely satisfied with just that and I know the XZP will snap photos better. Lets just face it though, the XZP and ever other phone are just phones so youll never get anything like a DSLR but maybe something close. I think alot of people need to appreciate what phones are capeable of now. Especially those at dxomark. They also need to realise that they are just phones once only able to call.

Amazing mate, the colors the blur the contrast, thumbs up!
Oreo update helps immensely in low light, my xzp seems to be using 2000iso now instead of cranking it to 3200 or 6400. More grain but less smearing. Burst looks to do a good job as well, although you cant use it in low light for shutter speed reasons.
Pictures arent perfect or anywhere near note 8 level, but they are more than useable now in low light.

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------
As an ex owner of Nokia 1020 I am quite happy with the new SONY IMX400 sensor performance as I am with my older IMX300 sensor in Xperia Z5. The later still does superb pics in daytime with 23MP manual mode.
Didn't expect to see it this soon after the beta reports, which were not numerous.

i got it too, very smooth
Got it, but having a problem with no data,. Great
Got it today. Noticed that I can no longer record in anything above 1080p on the camera though, and the new camera UI (specifically switching between the 3 cameras) is worse.
Edit: I am dumb lol. It defaulted to AI cam mode. That is why everything was different. Well, even in regular photo mode, the 3 camera switching is still worse (one button that cycles through them all, instead of being able to tap the one you want out of all 3 like before).
Yes It's amazing, even if a very similar to Samsung . Today I got the update

You can press and hold the button and move left or right is much better than touching the trees. :RE

Yeah not a fan of that, because I have to cycle through them to be sure what it is currently set to.
It comes down to opinion!
So far so good. I'm enjoying the Android 10 update! I think think opinions on the new camera overpay are gonna be widespread (I personally like it), but can totally understand where others wouldn't. I have a question I thought I'd throw out there cuz I have not seen any info about it. is the Sprint variant Lg v50 dual screen recognizable after the update? That the one thing I was hoping for in the update so if anybody knows, id love to know, thank you
Been having issues with the alarm app. Seems like when the alarm goes off I see no notification and the screen remains on the home screen instead of showing the alarm screen to snooze.

I hate this camera. Takes 2 clicks to start a video recording. Super crappy. I tried installing an old apk of our old camera app and it failed. Anyone know how to uninstall the old carmera apk? Thanks.
Agree. Old camera was truly amazing and the best camera app on the world. New one is similar to Apple camera which is inversed version of amazing. I can't understand why all Android manufacturers copy Apple. If I would buy iPhone I will buy genuine iPhone from China. I bought v50 because I preferred Android experience from LG. If all Android manufacturers will keep copy Apple more and more I don't see any reason to buy poor copy of iPhone instead of proper genuine iPhone. Fakes should be at least half cheaper otherwise there is no worth loose money on that products. I believe if Apple will announce smartphone without wifi all chinese manufacturers will release asap their smartphones with blocked wifi in soc. It's externally silly unfortunately truly enough.

Any chance you can post the OTA file?
New camera app is really terrible. Any solution or workaround how to revert old camera app?
Hi, my sprint lg v50 was lagging and decided to restart it to refresh it but it's now stuck on 5g logo screen yesterday. I just found out this morning that there is a March ota update and not sure if it was trying to download as I was restarting my phone. I believe maybe the OTA update soft bricked my phone to where it's stuck on logo screen. I am able to access recovery mode, but see no wipe cache partition. So now I'm hoping I can "re-update" the previous security patch to get my phone running again without losing data. I checked my SD card, but it hasn't saved my recent work which is crucial.
