[Q] Camers: Photo preview dissapeard - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just a few days before after I took a photo on my nexus 5 a small preview popped up in the right top corner for a few seconds to preview the photo but it doesn't show up anymore.
I can;t figure out why

Have you disabled Google+ or photo auto backup?

Yess, I disabled that because it takes too much battery. But I'm pretty sure it was still there after disabling that. Maybe not?

I have Google+ disabled and still see it. Maybe turn off HDR+ if on...

Tried that too, still not there ? Very weird

[Q] New camera and HDR+

Hey people,
I really like the new camera but I have one issue which really annoyes me.
I always use HDR, and in the previous camera when I enabled it it out would remember my selection and HDR was always the default setting, but now it always resets and I have to enable it almost every time I open the camera. Sometimes it stays on, didn't really understand why (even after closing the camera from recent apps). Is there a way to have HDR always enabled?
Mine persists even through a reboot. Try wiping data in the camera app.

i think those custom rom's can not have hdr+ active out of the box for closed source or something. i have seen a lot of posts about that already. you have to flash certain gapps first. look into the camera thread in general section.

Lockscreen notifications

Is there any app that adds lock screen notifications and pocket mode as Mahdi ROM has implemented?

That looks like an awesome app. But WTF is with the music they put in the promo video haha
These look ok, but they don't seem to have pocket mode as well like Mahdi rom does...
And they're not the same. The notifications don't start as icons on the right that you can slide to view.
Use Mahdi ROM, or even AOSPAL. Even the other Roms with it as well, because I don't think you will find an app with the exact look, or pocket mode at all. It's seems to be more of an Internal type of feature.

Cool, sounds like a Samsung feature.
Is there any increase in battery drain as a result of using it?

Barely any, only about 1-3% from a 100% charge to 5%.
The Gravity Screen app in the Play Store is similar but works slightly differently, you can use that if your ROM doesn't have pocket mode.

Cheers bud, I'll check if Purity supports it but if not I'll check out that app :good:
Is it possible to cherry pick the notifications and add them to cyanogenmod?
Not that I could do either of that (i've tried) just wondering is all.
I've used NILS for a while but it still has that SMS app bug where the app becomes unresponsive if using swipe to open

I know that Carbon, Paranoid Saberdroid and Mahdi ROM has it, along with lockscreen notifications. Also, note that the battery drain that Gravity Screen would show is negligible across time (most I ever saw is 5% from a 100% charge), but if you check your battery only after a short period of a few minutes it'll appear to use around 25% battery, so don't worry if it appears to use a lot in the first few minutes. Also recommend to have Wake by motion and Keep screen on by motion turned off.

Purity doesn't use it. Neither does Slim. I wish I knew how to cherry pick port it, I'd love to have it on stock/slim.

Yes it has but I've tried it and it does not catch all notifications for me. And when clicking some notifications it would stay at the lockscreen so I would have to manually unlock after pressing the notification. It worked very inconsistent for me. Worked much better when I was using the Mahdi-rom.

Resize Photos In Gallery

I searched the forum and didn't find anyone else ask this so I'm posting. Question is, is it possible to resize the photos in the gallery? I could on my S5, but I don't see the possibility on the G3.

hmm, so when you click the pencil (edit) button what's the first option? as you can see for me its the "shrink" icon which gives you the resizing options. you rooted but didn't install a rom right?

I'm rooted and I don't have a shrink option either. infact the whole edit screen is completely different, and what's that icon in the top left of your screen? it's almost like you've installed a different editor or something.

I just took a picture and posted it to instagram without issue.
I imagine something like this would work in a pinch https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xnview.XnResizeLite
I don't have any issues with posting either, but if you want to include the entire image you can't.
I think it's safe to say that rooting messes with some things.

I doubt that. nothing changed when I rooted it.
as for posting the whole picture, instagram seems to require square pictures, which means you're going to crop them or distort them to make it work. There's nothing to be done about that, if you resize the whole photo you're going to distort it, if you crop then you lose the sides.
I would suggest framing the picture properly so when you crop it you're not losing the focus of the image. The other thing you can do is trick it with an app eg: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.artyapphouse.squareit&hl=en which adds white borders to the image to make it square

Thanks for the reply. I knew that about Instagram, but I'm telling you, the edit functions disappeared after rooting. Look at the attached screenshot. There's no pencil (edit icon) if you remove Google+. Unless that is the only option provided to us for editing, which it may have been as I didn't pay attention to it until I rooted, then something is missing.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of if rooting removes some editing options out of the gallery app. I'm going to use the flashtool and see if anything changes when I'm back to 100 percent stock.

Well, I did the FlashTool and still no editing capabilities without Google+ and their Photos app. Apparently LG is using Google's software to edit photos. Very limited choices and I'm a little disappointed.

then dont remove them? they dont really do anything if you dont use them, they just sit there, and atleast youd be able to edit your photos.
on the up side it offers free backup of all your photos if you do use it... pretty nice perk if ya ask me
try installing another app that's for editing images and see if that works?

[Q] Camera Auto focus issue

I have the n915fy version of note edge. When i turn on the camera, it take about 15 -30 secs for the auto focus to respond/start working. I upgraded to lollipop 5.0.1 few days after purchase but did not take note of this issue before upgrade. When i clear camera cache and data, the problem gets fixed for the first time of camera use but problem comes back after first use of camera. What could be the cause and what is the suggested solutions.
Same problem here, not fixed yet. I noticed that autofocusing is instant if the phone is very hot...

Rightly said, i guess its a hardware issue, since updates did not fix it. The only way i get quicker focus is by tapping the phone close to the lens. Could be weird sometimes.

What does that have to do with edge lighting...
Anyway,
Edge Lighting > Manage Notification
Select apps you want edge lighting on, it is not restricted to "crappy built in apps"
A more useful thing to say would be, ' I wish edge lighting could be customised on a per app basis and show be useful for more situations such as if screen recording flash around edge of the device red or something to show you that you are recording with your device or camera or whatever, or they could use the notch LED ring to do something like this.

Tried Goodlock + Notistar to enable "Eclipse effect" for camera cut out. It broke deep sleep and my phone went from 50% to 0% in 3 hours with screen off. The effect only works for a few seconds with no option to set a recurring reminder. Uninstalled it, but other features in this Goodlock update are great.

Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Even with aod always on, edge light set to always, edgelight+, notifications enabled. If I get a message on hangouts for example, the little icon appears on the aod screen but edge lighting does diddly. Same for the other non Samsung apps I've tried, not that there have been many I've tried thus far.
Now if I happen to have the phone unlocked and happen to be looking at hangouts and receive a message, edge lighting works as expected... but if I'm already staring at the app it kinda makes it pointless.
