For some reasons, my 8525 camera's pictures have been looking faded. I've tried resetting everything, but still not better. It's almost like the autobalance is messed up or something. Can someone take a look at this picture and give me a suggestion or something? I'm a realtor so I use my camera on my phone alot.
looks better then what my cam give
was it always like this or did it start out better
commen that cmos cams that pda's and phones and webcams use
are light sensetiv == easy to get overexposed and
grainy when under exposed
Started out way better. Never had a problem then all of a sudden all the pictures look dull. Just can't figure it out.
Thanks for the help Mike. Would a ROM upgrade do the same thing as a hard reset? I've held off on upgrading to the latest because honestly everything has worked fine on my phone since I've had it. But it upgrading will do the same thing, then I might go ahead and do it.

Had it about a week now, camera initially worked but pictures were very poor. Now all I get is a grainy screen when in camera and video mode, no picture at all, nothing, all black, doesn't matter which mode of brightness, night, day, auto all is black, unless I switch to negative and then the screen goes white!
Done soft and hard resets, tried all variations of settings, does this mean my camera is completly ....dead?
Any advice welcome.
LOTS of posts on this subject in these forums...take a look.

Funnily enough searched loads and found gripes about poor quality pictures, grainey pics, etc. etc. but nothing regarding NO PICTURES.
In fact searching the net on the subject brought me here to these boards. So thanks for the advice, but you might have been more helpful?
Most people here will know I'm always helpful if I can be, though at the time I posted that I'd just read about 10 posts that had ALL been answered before. I was a bit miffed.
Sorry I tarred you with the same brush...repeat or lazy posting is my pet hate on here.
If you've had the camera for only a week and the camera doesn't work, even when you return all the settings to default, and have tried hard / soft resets, I'd send it back to o2 and get a replacement. Hard resets should mean default settings, and mine worked fine after the last reset I did. I presume you're using the o2 launch rom 1.10?
Cheers and soz

Bought new and boxed on ebay, but no warrenty
However, camera now working fine
Why don't I have a gold star? I donated bigtime!!!
I don't know if I'm doing this completely wrong, but I can't, for whatever reason, take a good panorama shot with the N5 (or with the N4 either, but let's forget about the N4 camera). I hate to bring Apple into this, but the iPhone's are incredible at panorama images that are as crisp as any other. The N5 camera is great but all my pano's are blurry and choppy.
The way I attempt to take one seems pretty straight forward: keeping the phone as still as possible, moving slowly across the subject(s), and trying to keep the phone on a "swivel" as if it's on a pivot.
Has anyone taken many pano's and how are they done efficiently?
Got my Z3 a couple of days ago (wife as well) and when either of us take a picture in an indoor, low light situation the picture is always foggy looking. In fact, even in very low light if the flash goes off, the picture is foggy looking. Anyone else experience this or have any thoughts? Really irritating. Pictures are great looking if no flash though (on both phones).
Yep, same here and tried everything...this camera is why I bought it, and it sucks compared to my Lumia 920

I haven't used flash yet but I read somewhere that manual mode reduces this fog effect. i'm guessing it's some sort of lens flare? Try playing with the different scene modes and settings.
Same issue with mine. Been working all week on it and cannot get a good picture inside
Same, swapped first one out only to find this has the same issue, thought i was the only one

Need some examples, really. Are you using a case on your phone? Try without. Try a few different modes (auto, manual etc) and see if there's a pattern.
Manual mode and changing iso up seems to allow for better pics.
Sent from my D6603 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes same problem already talked about in depth, try manual mode, keep the ISO as low as possible with the flash, in fact if the object is more than 5m away, then the flash will not really do much, turn it off and increase the ISO
I had the same Problem, and after testing if it was the case or the Glascover, because sometimes the
Pics were foggy and sometimes not.
Some of the Glas Cover makes Reflextions on to the Lens but the worse
are the Fingers on the left Side of the Phone, when you make pics in landscape.
The Finger on the left Top makes so many Reflections to the lens that the Imgages becomes
foggy.
When you make a Pic and hold the Phone in the middle, than all the Pics with Flash are good,
You can test it by yourself in Automodus or Manuell.

Same issue
Has anyone managed to find a workaround for this??
I'm having the same issue and not sure what to do.
Thanks,
Hi all, I've been searching around but can't find anyone else having this problem. I only got the phone a few days ago, and the first time I tried to take a photo in mixed lighting conditions I thought I was doing something wrong, as it was metering really badly and the shot just looked all hazy. Then I tried again and again and every time it would just give me a hazy image. I tried taking my case off the back, no change. I compared shots to my wife's Galaxy S4 in the same scenario and her's were miles beyond mine in terms of quality, they metered perfectly. I'm beginning to think the phone is a lemon, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. I've tried stock software as well as a root, and both give me the same issue. As I'm a new user I can't post a link but I'll try and work out how to show you all what's happening (you could try searching photobucket for user mattrico, then it's the first image of the lot - the kitchen picture).
Anyway, this is the icing on the cake because I have already been having issues with hotspot (it's not installed on this phone) and data roaming (can't find that either), I bought the phone from the USA and I live in Australia so I've already gone through issues of getting here and the extra cost, I really don't want to send it back but I'm thinking I have no other option.
I just want to start off by saying , YES i know there are multiple threads about the G5 and having the main camera not focus. I found that if i shook my phone, that eventually it would focus. Most people seem to fix this problem by replacing the camera. So i went ahead and bought one from ifixit, and when it arrived, the camera was DOA. They sent me another and after 1 day, the same thing happened. The phone refused to focus. So they sent me another replacement and the same thing. It wouldn't focus. They agreed to refund me. I then bought one from ebay and after installing it today, IT DOES NOT FOCUS. I have checked/cleaned the lens area , so no there are no smudges. There is 1 scratch but it does not cover the lens itself. The secondary camera has about 3-4 scratches that cover the lens, but that camera has no problem focusing. Does anyone have any ideas? I have had this phone for over a year, and apart from this issue it has been bullet proof(ignoring the screen retention problem that seem to also affect phones like the s7). I love it so much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not going to help much but I'm in the same boat. I can hear the camera rattling when I shake it, and with my original camera, the focus mechanism trying to to its thing. Tried a few ebay ones labeled as "New" and got ones that are pulled from old phones and won't even try to focus or simply not work at all. I would think that ifixit you wouldv'e had the best luck with and thats pretty disappointing to hear because I was hoping pony up and just go with them next. All I've heard is that you just have to keep trying until you get one that works, then be super careful with it. Kinda sucks, at least we have the wide angle though and thats what I use most of the time for actual pictures but most apps only go through the regular camera.
I am at a lost on what to do. Its so frustrating. The wide angle camera is nice, but not as a main camera. I have to zoom and crop quite a bit since I use Fb messenger(which kills quality) and the wide angle is such a hassle. I literally gave up. I'm tired of "trying" other ones. I really don't know what to do. I guess I either live with it or, sell it for cheap, then buy a s7.
