Snapchat black bars problem - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Hi,
Every time I make a pic on snapchat there are black bars around the picture.
Is there somehow a way to remove these bars? It gives a weird appearance
to the pictures.

Wait for snapchat to make their app somewhat decent, not much else to do

I do not have this problem in Snapchat using AOSP 8.1.

Interesting, you do have the camera zoom problem using snapchat?
The bug where the camera is zoomed in when you use it.

My camera isn't zoomed in, it looks fine (when compared to an iPhone 8 using Snapchat).

Are you on codename phenoix ROM. That ROM is the only ROM with issues with snapchats camera. Its a 18:9 pic for me on cr droid

[Q] Camera problems

Hello!
I need some assistance regarding the HOX stock camera app.
You see, the photos i tace with the One X turns out really bad.
My old (old, old, old) iPhone 3GS kicks this one's ass.
The images turns out grainy and low res. It's set to 8mpx and all settings are stock.
Now i thought it was a hardware problem but when trying other camera apps souch as Camera Zoom FX they turn out pretty great.
The stock camera app pictures is about 1.5-1.7 mb while the Camera Zoom fx are at a natural ca 3.5mb.
Photo taken with stock camera app: 8mpx: http://oi45.tinypic.com/n2odar.jpg
Photo taken with Camera Zoom FX, 8mpx: http://oi48.tinypic.com/i5ver8.jpg
HOX stock: http://oi49.tinypic.com/21dizcx.jpg
Camera Zoom FX: http://oi48.tinypic.com/315cvg0.jpg
What could be causing this problem, or should I simply return it?
Do you have the stock camera app 8mp set to 16:9 or 4:3 format? I noticed with my own testing that the 16:9 format uses less of the sensor and you dont get full 8mp images resulting in lower image size. The 4:3 format is getting me 2.8mb+ image size.

You seem to have already answered your first question, and as to whether to return it or not because the stock camera app over compresses images, well, up to you.
Stock cam app compresses so you can have burst mode. Third party apps don't have the same speed as stock camera, but compensates with quality. And no, even with the stock app, the 3GS camera is worse.
harlz: I've tried both. 4:3 gives me a slightly better image.
I'ts strange thoug. Yesterday I rebooted the phone and took a picture, the screen was black for about 3 sek and then it took a photo that was just amazingly good. I took about tree more great pictures that ended up on ca 4mb. But now. I'm down to about 2mb and the images just looks like crap.
What could be causing this? Is anyone experiencing something like this?

[Q] Problem with camera

Hello I'm using the HTC One V for some months. I've been having some problems with the camera. When i take a picture in which there is a human face, the face it has a redish color, it appears only in faces and hands, the face and the parts of the body looks red. But in every other part, like trees and streets the picture is ok. It has Htc Sense 4.0 and android version 4.0.3.
Please help me!
Thank you in advance.
mine is also have the same problem. try playing with your camera settings to get better pictures or use a third party camera app from market. I'm currently using camera zoom fx. It's way better than the stock one.
Same for me ahah I guess it's just the camera like this. Also when you take a photo of a white wall I get like many yellow and purple spots everywhere
I have that problem with every camera app.
Thank you for your answer. Any free alternatives of Camera Zoom fx?

[Q] Stock camera focusing

Ismerős?
I have the same question. Does anyone else have focusing issue?
In dark/bright situations, 8 out of 10 times, my phone either cannot focus or gets out of focus.
Were these photos taken under kitkat?
I tried both Snap Camera and stock camera under JB but I can't see the differences between the photos they took, I mean both of them lose a lot of detail.
seems same here with stock KK / romaur v2.1...

Hi, didn't try any 3rd party app yet, but yes I also started to think that some photos are quite noisy and/or blurry in details with Stock and now Stock-Romaurv2.1 (KK). ----> +1
How did you get your first shot ??
The zoom of "1-Better_20140320_153735.jpg" looks amazing!
This 3rd party app I would try first.... :good:
Thanks!

Poor camera quality in apps

Recently I got Snapchat and Instagram, when I use their built in camera, the quality is severely reduced. It looks like a 5 MP camera. But using stock camera app (or any camera app) the quality is great. The problem is with apps that do more than take pictures.. Here's two photos so you get an idea. Anyone else have these issues or know a fix?
I haven't noticed any particular image quality problems on my G3 with those apps. I do know that Snapchat saves images in same resolution as your screen, so in the G3's case: 2560x1440

I don't know if you can see from the pictures, but I don't get anywhere near that, or HD for that matter. You wouldn't happen to know a fix?
Instagram reduces filesize, so, they probably do this directly from the camera app.

I'm aware all apps reduce file size, but the images I capture are no where near up to par to a decent standard. The image quality with Snapchat on my HTC M8 was great, but on the G3 it's horrible
I'm having the same problem you are. I reinstalled Snapchat and the problem was still there. I even tried a camera mod (tweaks media_profiles) to no avail. It's a frustrating problem especially when I see my friends' high quality snapchat pictures and while mine are blurry.
Solution!
I finally figured out what was causing this, it somehow just came to me. All you have to do is hide the navigation bar in Snapchat (or any other app you're experiencing this in) and viola, clear pictures! Go to settings->display->home touch buttons. Hope this helps!

So it just looked blurry on your end until you removed the nav bar and on others' phones it looked fine even before your fix?
No it would be blurry to the people I snapchatted as well. I think it has to do with the fact that snapchat captures the image as a "screenshot" of what appears on the screen rather than the raw image from the camera.

Oh my, thank you so much man! I could finally Snapchat friends without feeling embarrassed, you're the best!
It bothered me so much before. Glad I could help!
My pictures are definitely better in snapchat after hiding home buttons

Snapchat camera zoomed in?

Hello,
I just received my Oneplus 5T and noticed that while using snapchat the camera view seems to be heavily zoomed in. I wonder if there is a fix for this as it makes taking pictures more difficult and pretty annoying.
Thanks.
same issue here
Same here, what a craptastic app.
This issue was also in a community forum, a oneplus member said it would be fixed in a software update/it's a bug with oxygen os. I think it's due to the 18:9 aspect ratio, go to the camera app and select that ratio and it just zooms in on the 4:3. I think the same is happening with snapchat.
Yep. I've also reported it to Snapchat as well. (shrug).

Was that guy really an OnePlus employee? I didn't see any real verified sign in their profile. That or I just haven't used OnePlus forums enough to know.

Also noticed it happens in Instagram. Maybe I owe a snapchat an apology.
Snapchat and all other 3rd party camera apps are using 18:9 camera ratio and apparently Oxygen OS Camera isn't optimised well for the 18:9 ratio. It just zooms and crops in the pic. Try changing the ratio from 4:3 to 18:9 in the default camera app, you will get same result as Snapchat, both in front as well as rear camera. This is a major system bug in Oxygen OS.
OnePlus has said that they're releasing an update in early December that will bring major improvements to the camera. Hope that update fixes this issue too otherwise this is a major deal breaker.
Another camera disappointment by OnePlus.

Yep, mine is back in the box until a camera update arrives, then I will see if it's worth keeping or selling. Until then, I am breaking the Note 8 back out.
how good is snapchat on OnePlus 5T
Hi, I noticed that android phones have a tendency to lag whenever a snapchat video is taken. It can be seen particularly when an iPhone is used to view the android's snap. I was wondering if this is the same if the video is taken by a oneplus 5t?
Such an annoying bug! Absolutely hate this bug. I hold the phone so far away yet it's as though I'm holding the phone right near my face

Yep it's a known issue. Oneolus has fixed it on their end and all that Is left is for Snapchat it fix it. They are working togethor
Snapchat announced that the want to improve the Android experience by rebuilding the app.
Currently the android snapchat is just a dirty copy of iOS snapchat which sucks my battery really hard.
The problem is fixed now isn't it.
