Hi,
I am just not able to get satifactory pictures from the phone. I have played with the settings and everything and read about the White balance and all but still no dice.
The part that bothers me the most is that I have it set on Max resolution and the picture size is still 500 kB. What gives?
I dont think ROM makes a difference as I have the same results on Sprint stock as now on Juicy R10.
Anyone care to share their settings in the camera settings if they feel they get good results from their camera.
Thanks
One thing you should make sure of is when you select "3M" for the large picture setting, click "done" and dont go back to look at the other settings on the resolution menu. Doing that may revert is to whatever was last selected on that first page. My white balance is set to auto and widescreen is on. I personally dont think the camera is that good on here but if you are in the right light and setting, your pictures should be fine. What is actually happening with your pictures?

Hi,
Thanks for the advise. The pictures are just too yellow in my case. I have played with the white balance but they dont seem to pop. What is the file size of the pictures you are taking? Mine is 500kB set at 3M resolution. Doesnt make sense.
I think my TP1 took far better pictures than my TP2... odd..

did you try the lightbulb icon white balance setting (indoors)? that usually fixes the yellow for me...the Auto is useless, you need to set white balance for each situation. My outdoor shots are usually too blue so I use the Tungsten setting sometimes.
I have noticed that pretty much every rom I have tried (juicy, energy, S3) all have had very poor camera quality, even when on the highest settings. If I revert to the stock rom, the quality is good again.

now that is interesting. why would that be? I am curious to learn what the differences might be.
I do agree that the tp1 did take much better pics than the tp2 has managed so far, but then again, it took a while for me to tweak tp1 before I was satisfied with the picture quality.
Anyone care to share the size of the file it produces for each picture?

I was pretty disappointed with the camera feature (thought it was an HTC thing) but after flash MR X's latest 3/5/10 and going back to 2/18/10 ROM, the app he puts in makes my camera pretty snappy.
At whatever default setting is there I get 300-700k size files.
Hope that helps someone.
JPG uses compression, so picture size is determined by the amount of detail in the image. The more detail, the larger the size. A picture of a totally blank surface will be the smallest.
The auto whitebalance is horrible on this camera. I get better results manually choosing whatever white balance mode makes white actually look white.
I've also been disappointed with the camera on this phone. Older Blackberry Curves and Pearls take better photos (even though they are at lower resolution). I will say the autofocus is nice and allows the camera to work with close things like taking pictures of written information and barcodes.
I had this fix on my Touch Pro. I applied it to my Touch Pro 2- worked great.

What all does it do?
what does that do? I tried the old panaramic cab file it crashed out the phone and i had do a full rest of the phone as it kept giving me errors in services.exe
I got rid of the program since it did not work with windows 6.5
I am not a photgrapher by any means, but I have been very pleased with the clairty of my TP2 pics. I set it to 3mp - widescreen - quality to superfine - storage to card -thats it. I agree it blues a little sometimes, but this is helped (not completely) with white balance changes. I think this cam is much better than my TP cam, but again I am no pro. Also keep in mind this is a cameraPHONE - you will get way better results out of a devoted device but for point and shoor this thing is more than adequate for me.
PS - over time the little clear plastic window of my back panel hazed up - I popped it out so the camera lens inside is exposed and the clarity of my pics POPPED! - unfortunately now my lens is exposed and I am guessing dust can now get under my cover, but it works well for now.

Doesn't work on 6.5? Dang....
Turn off widescreen photos if you want to get maximum resolution. You'll get 2048x1536 (3.14 megapixels) instead of the widescreen res of 2048x1216 (2.49 megapixels).
Maybe (probably) I am just crippled but is anyone else having issues sending pictures via text? My previous phones would re-size the image to fall under the 1000k limit. Now i have to select the lowest possible image resolution (640x368) to send a picture at all.
I tried in both stock and GO SMS.
I purchased a new 16GB Nexus 5 phone a couple of weeks ago. I'm quite impressed with the phone overall but there's one particular problem I've noticed which concerns me. If I take photos of something light-colored (such as a light switch on my wall) in a room that uses compact fluorescent lighting, there is a faint but visible circular, ring-like artifact in the center of the photos. If I take similar photos in a room that uses incandescent lighting, however, there are no visible artifacts in the photos. I emailed Google about this to troubleshoot the problem and they took me through some routine steps (a power cycle and clearing the camera app's data and cache) but even after a factory data reset did not solve the problem, they ultimately suggested that I exchange the phone for another one at the retailer where I bought it from. Seeing as this problem does not happen in all lighting conditions, I'm not so sure that it's a hardware issue but I'd like to hear from other users as to whether or not they have experienced this. The software on my phone is Android 4.4. I'd like to try out 4.4.1 to see if it addresses this problem but that software update has not been made available to my phone through OTA as of yet. I've experimented with different camera settings and the problem seems to be most noticeable when HDR+ mode is on but it's still there (albeit to a slightly lesser degree) in the regular auto mode. Is it just my unit that's affected by this or is it a more common problem? I tried attaching a photo to this message to show you what I'm talking about but it doesn't seem to upload because of the forum's JPG file size limit.
I side-loaded the Android 4.4.1 update for my phone and took some new photos to see if this problem still exists. I'm disappointed to see that it's still happening and definitely noticeable with HDR+ mode enabled. There's also a link below to a photo I just took which demonstrates the problem. Do you see the circular / ring-like artifacts on and around the light switch? It's easier to notice if you zoom in.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has taken indoor photos in a room that uses compact fluorescent lighting. Can anyone here quickly take a similar photo and see if the same thing happens or not? I've even gone so far as to buy LED bulbs for my room to replace my CFL bulbs but I'd still like to know whether or not my Nexus 5 phone has a defect.
The same problem with photos taken under CFL bulbs still exists in Android 4.4.2, unfortunately. There are no such problems under LED or incandescent lighting, however. I'll just have to hope the CFL lighting problems with the camera get addressed in a future update because I'm reluctant to exchange my phone over this if the exact same thing happens on another unit. Has anyone else here encountered this?
Hey there, I have a new Verizon Lg G5 with a frustrating issue while receiving images via MMS.
After setting up my phone and installing all my normal apps, I noticed that when I received an mms picture, the image quality was so low I could barely read the text in the photo. I did some fiddling with the texting app, trying out Textra, Google Messenger and Chomp, but the issue persisted. I then tried running my phone in safe mode and sending myself some images which came through great. Leave safe mode and text myself same images, back to super low quality.
So this morning I reset my phone and started fresh. Using textra, the images were coming through great for awhile. After installing a batch of apps, I tested by sending myself a message and the low quality issue was back. I then deleted the GroupMe app and the images were full resolution again. A few minutes later after no changes, the images went back to low quality. I tried installing GroupMe again, then tested an image and it was fine for awhile, then back to low quality. So I tried uninstalling Snapchat, but leaving GroupMe installed. Again, the image resolution increased, but about 5 minutes later, back to low quality.
Not really sure how to troubleshoot this as I cannot narrow it down to a single app, and it doesn't seem like a Verizon issue since it does, at times, send full resolution images.
Any ideas? I find it very frustrating to be on a new phone and have my image quality lower than my G3.
Thanks in advance.

Dear ,
I really love the panorama photo mode, the pictures are very high quality, but i have a very annoying problem: sometimes the transition is not smooth and vertical lines can be seen on the photo. Does anyone else noticed the same?
Thanks and regards
Turn the phone slower and those lines will go away. The faster you move the phone the harder it is to capture smooth images
