Noticed in cm11 that when I take photos in the dark it uses flash to focus when I first boot which is normal but any time after using the torch app the flash no longer comes on to focus and will only flash with the photo resulting in terrible night shots and white washed out photos? Everyone else experiencing this as well?

What happens, if you go to your recent apps button, is Torch still there?
So scenarios to test.
Fresh boot, Camera, do photos flash?
Fresh boot, Torch, Camera, do photos flash?
Fresh boot, Torch, Recent Apps closing Torch, do photos flash?
Additional, repeat the above but do you actually have to only open Torch, or open Torch and switch on the LED to use as a flashlight and then switch off the LED.
If you run through those tests that would help determine if Torch is the issue.
Fresh boot camera works perfectly normal
Fresh boot torch open toggled on/off camera will not use flash to focus but only during the actual shot.
Fresh boot then closed in recents im gonna flash back to cm11 now to test.

I've been finding myself in many situations where I would love to use my camera in dark/dim places while on a phone call, however, I get a message saying:
"flash light is disabled because of low battery power, cold weather, or phone call."
I tried using an app called LED Desire to take pictures, but it will just shut off during the snapshot. However, it does work well with the video camera on call or off call (pretty nice).
Is there a way to have the flash light work for the camera during phone calls?
Thanks.
Guessing this is a no go?

Download LED Light from the market. Works greats for the camera and video
You must be on the phone a lot o_o.
Try LED Light.
get flashlight alerts forgot where i got it.. Ill post all my found apps sometime soon.
it is designated app to flash LEDs when sms and calls come in even in vibe or silent.
Thanks for the replies, but like led desire, led light does the same thing when taking pictures while on the phone.... the light just forcefully shuts off after snapping a pic causing a black pic. Haha and yes I talk a lot and like to share my surroundings while on phone

I'm using the Motorola Triumph on Virgin Mobile, but for some reason whenever I open my Camera application (or any app that uses my camera I.E Yelp/Google Goggles) the camera is blue and green, much like a thermal sensor, and the front view camera's color spectrum is normal. I'm running a beta version of CM7 and its worked properly for as long as I've had it, and now I can't find a way to reset it back to normal. I've tried resetting the camera to default settings, looking at the other apps and seeing if I've accidentally changed any settings that could potentially cause this situation. On a side note, all the color effects on my front-facing camera have never worked, just wondering if that's due to the beta version of CM7, or something else I can fix. Either way, it'd be great to have an answer!
Try backing up your apps, texts, and data (if you want) then doing a full wipe with CMW and reinstall CM7... Also if you aren't using the newest version (B.08 or Cm-tg-reloaded) Then you may want to try those out and see if they work any better.
it randomly fixed after a reboot and then I just upgraded and everything works besides the color effects on the front facing camera

Hi folks, it seems to be a rare issue but it is drving me crazy every time I use the camera.
I am on stock not rooted kitkat 4.4.2, the issue is only seen after update the google camera to the latest version with the new ui change.
Now every time I launch the camera app, the phone could hang up for 1 to 3 seconds without doing anything (low possibility). There is a guarantee (100%) that the phone will lag for more than 2 seconds when I take the first two photos in normal mode (the screen just freeze at the time when the photo swiping animation takes place after hit the capture button). Also, it is very often to see the similar lag when I browse the recent photos in the camera app.
I tried to reinstall the latest update; clear the app data + cache, but neither works for me. Now I just go back to the old camera, all the freezes/lags are gone!
Please can anyone suggest some possible solutions? I really like the new camera ui. Thanks!

My new camera app is pretty buggy too actually, random freezes, etc...
I think it'll get better with time.

Not sure if its just me or if anyone else is experiencing this issue
As you can watch this video, it takes forever for the camera to take pic and then processing it..
If I close the camera app before it thumbnail goes to the top right corner, it seems to just delete itself..
BTW, Im on CM11s rom, running franco kernel, in case anyone wants to know...
Thanks for any help..
You're using HDR mode that complies multiple exposure settings to get you the best pic. It's always slower than non HDR mode.
That looks horrible.
HDR mode on my nexus 4 works a lot faster.

First pic was in auto mode.. you can see after I focused on the car, I hit the shutter button... 3 secs later, sound and then another 7 secs later the pic gets taken.. I then swiped to the different scene modes
but regardless which scene mode, does the same thing... really annoying.. tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times but same thing...
not sure if theres a similar topic, but Ive noticed an issue with saving photos after they are taken, it takes couple minutes or more for them to show in gallery.
if I take a photo, and go out of the camera app and enter gallery, the most recent photos wont show.
But if I go back to camera app and swipe right, it will show them there.. wth?!
Try downloading the latest version from play.

Hello
I have bought a new OP7 Pro and I updated immediately to Android 10 beta 2.. no my smartest move apparently.
When I'm trying to focus in the dark with the main camera app just by tapping the flash does not turn on at all.. and if I try to take the picture the flash turns on and stays on like a torch not by flashing for a fraction of the second like a normal camera on any smartphone.
First I thought it is a hardware based problem and I should return the phone / I still have 10 days to do so.
Then I've installed a different camera app called LG camera and surprise! Tap to focus in dark environment turns on the flash and the camera manages to focus also when I tap to take the picture the LED only turns on to .1 seconds and works normal.
Tried a version on Gcam and it doesn't work either..
I tried the following:
- cleared data and forced stop the main camera app
- factory reset
Thank you in advance for any ideas.

Hello, I also have the same problem with my op7pro I don't have a fix for it yet.
Does it work with the latest stable?
