Hi guys,
Last night i installed stock 4.3 in order to root(locked bootloader) and update via ota to save root(i still didnt receive 18.3.1.c.0.21, so its 18.3.c.0.40). Anyway, while i was still on 4.3 i tried camera in dark and low light conditions, and pictures were much better than on kitkat. Colours were not washed, pictures were sharper, long story short, pictures were absolutely better than on kitkat, when it comes to low light conditions Then i updated to kitkat and i was disappointed again. Did anyone noticed that?
Is this fixed on 18.3.1.c.0.21? Or the same sad camera story continues

Anyone else notice the framerate in the camera viewfinder is kinda slow? Its immediately apparent when you move the phone in camera mode suddenly and you see the screen blur.
I compared it with my Galaxy Blaze and you can really tell the difference.
I have tried stock, ARHD ICS 6.6.4, and ARHD with the High Quality camera mod, all have the same problem.
Turning down the picture quality makes no difference (didnt think it would) since the viewfinder still displays the same thing.
Hello, i'm from Colombia and my english is not that good.
But i'll try.
27th Dec 2012 i bough and HTC One X at&t from Amazon, got delivered by Jan12 Saturday 2013 about 15:00 hours, retrieved, unboxing bla bla bla, i was testing the device, i came with ICS 4.0.4, Sense 4 and RUU 2.20, everything was working fine, data, wifi, screen, sound, but, when i was about to try the LED Flash of the Camera (to find out if it has AF Assist Lamp, witch it hasn't) i found a very weird artifact
This is it, i took 2 photos to a paper on a tablet.
The left one <-- was taken with LED Flash On (NOT AUTO, ON) and the right one --> was taken with it off (OFF, NOT AUTO)
This is so frustrating, practically there is no way to take photos with flash, is not a hardware issue (i think cuz when i record a video and take a photo while recording with LED LIGHT ON, the photo is fine, there is no such artifact), another way was changing the auto whitebalance to fluorescent and the photo becomes a little decent, and i thoght that i can handlet it, but no, when on Instagram, Facebook Cam, Cymera, etc. There is no sense Cam interface to take Photos while recording a video, neither the auto white balance option to get rigde of the "sephie like effect" so, i decided to change the ROM just to try:
Tried Vyper XL 3.0 and 2.4 and was the same ****, so i decided to reflash the device back to stock with and RUU 2.20, right now it has OEM ROM with Bootloader relocked and no root. and is in the same that was when i got it.
So, the Q are:
Is there another person who has experience the same issue?
Is there a way to fix it? Since i think it is a software problem, maybe yes maybe not.
Thanks.
I was thinking about sending back to LA for Warranty but... It will cost me $74 and a month of waiting.
i searched on Google and here but found nothing.
UP (?)
I don't think there is anything to "fix" here, and the camera is basically working as intended. It looks like just a matter of taking a picture of a completely white frame combined with the flash, which is throwing off the white balance. I'm sure there a plenty of other color/light combinations that will similarly result in odd white balance results. Its just a computer algorithm that is trying to interpret the lighting conditions and guess the "best" white balance, and its not going to be correct all the time.
You've already found the workaround, which is to either turn off the flash, or change the white balance manually. Or you might be able to fix the color after the fact with the built-in editing feature or 3rd party apps. I certainly wouldn't suggest warranty service, and don't think it will fix the problem anyway.
Flash isn't recommended for macro/close range shots, anyway. You get unsightly reflections like the one in your example. Even aside from the "sepia" tone, your second (no flash) example just plain looks better in every way. So why even use the flash, unless you for some reason have a need to regularly take photos of documents in low light, requiring a flash?

Wtf? xd
I have also a Infuse 4G, 8 Mpx too, LED Flash, and the results with the Flash on, no matter if it's needed or not, are as it should be.
But this? here are two more examples, and i just took about 50 pictures, all with the LED On, and the sephie tone is everywhere, from a bathroom with zero light to outside, with sunlight, and even blocking the LED light with the finger.
This is so frustrating. I hope that is there a fix .
Another factor may be that the white balance by default is significantly "over-saturated", presumably by HTC to make colors more vivid and "pop" more. This could be why you are seeing this effect on this phone, when you don't on other phones or digital cameras.
But the latest photos you posted look pretty funky. Also, I've also tried to duplicate the effect by taking a picture of a printed page, and can't get the sepia tint. In fact, my photos actually look more white with the flash (more of a yellowish tint with flash off). These factors make me re-think my previous statement that it is working the way its supposed to.
Does the yellowish tint happen with subjects farther away too? Such as taking a picture of a person or landscape?
Defect with the camera? Maybe.
A "fix" aside from repair or exchange? Doubtful. The fact this issue persists across multiple ROMs suggests it may be a hardware problem.

Yes, no matter what, if the flash is On, the "sephia like effect" persist

I have tried Viper XL 2.4 and 3.0 but not with CM 10 or AOSP ROMs.

Couldn't hurt to try a AOSP-based ROM. ViperXL uses a different camera from stock 2.20 firmware, although its a newer version of the Sense camera.
I´ve been testing CM12 beta 6 for 3 days and it´s great. Is the first time I install a custom ROM on a Sony Xperia device so everything is new for me in this device and the first complain about this is camera.. On stock the camara was ok for a 8MP device, very similar to my S4 Active(8mp). But now without the stock ROM the camera is terrible, very noisy in good light or low light. I´ve tried to improve the quality modifying the "build.prop" and "media_profiles" into system. But is not even near to stock. I know Sony has some drivers for the camera and some DRM in the TA partition, but by this moment my 5 years old HTC HD2 with 5MP is taking much better photos, the S4 Active I have also with CM12 is taking soo much better pictures and I think is the same or similar hardware 8MP.
Are some tricks for improve camera quality that I didn´t hear about Xperias devices?
Is this just with CM12 or with any Custom ROM?
Can I do something to improve my camera quality?

I know is just a beta yet, but before I Flashed that, I Flahsed LiquidSmooth 4.4.4 and the camera was the same, of course was more stable ROM but camera quality was the same. Too much blurry like if the lense was dirty compared to stock 4.2.2. I think it´s maybe because of the DRMs into the TA partition, same story with Xperia Z3 and others Xperias devices, so I want to know if there is any trick to improve camera quality to be similar to stock 4.2.2 o it´s imposible to do that.
someone says that varun is working on a new camera hal that maybe improve camera, we have a dead 4.2.2 device upgraded to 5.0.2 with near full completity (only need some fixes with framework, kernel modules like bluetooth modules and then the best part, battery improvements and performance, what at the moment without too much as kk have is a lot better than kk )
Camera stopped unexpectedly
Hi guys. I am really lost on what to do after flashing my C2105 with CM12 Beta 6. When i change the settings on Camera, everything can be done with the exception of when i try to change the resolution of the video from 720P to QVGA or the other one. I wanted to change to a smaller resolution so that the video won't be too large for sending through whatsapp. But when i press on QVGA, the camera has stopped unexpectedly. And i will have to clear data and cache and reset the settings again. Unluckily, the resolution still can't be changed :/ Ayone has the same problem or solution?
The focus on my camera died the morning after I got Nougat. I turned it in to T-Mobile for a refurb.
The refurb is garbage on so many fronts but worst of all the low performance of the main camera mode is atrocious. Even in shadows in decent light it is super dark. I can correct it with manual mode but if I take the same shot with the wide angle camera, it's super bright. The two cameras are night and day. It's a frustrating experience.
I'm trying to determine if Nougat screwed up the camera's low light or if this refurb just sucks.
*update*
Factory reset fixed everything. Not sure why factory reset fixed the low light performance of the camera app's automatic mode, but it did. Hopefully this will help anybody else who runs into this extremely random issue.
The camera takes great still shots, but even the smallest amount of movement results in terrible blur. Is this normal?
I just cleared the camera data do I'm shooting on default settings.
Here's a picture of my child simply smiling and jabbering to me. Is this normal?
Id say if I take 10 pictures of her, only 1 is clear (caught betwen normal bodily twitches and stuff)
With this camera like this it'd be near impossible taking pictures of my dog unless it was sleeping. Is this your experience as well?
Are their pro settings that make it better?
Yes because no OIS ?
normal after emui 5 terrible optimization & shutter lag...emui 4.1 didn't have this shutter lag problem
our terrible sluggish processor don't even support google cam which has zero shutter lag

yeah the EMUI 5.0 sucks in this regard, at-least and strange part is, Huawei was not even aware of this unless this was reported to them in recent fan meet in India. Hope we get fix soon for this.

I hope at least they fix it now after reporting in fan meet... No word upto now is disappointing... Not even a single update in past 2 months after b340?? added to this, wapp notification lag... It made me put wapp in deep sleep using greenify & open it once in a day & sync messages when i don't/can't use phone for 10 minutes...
I knew some people from our group that uses Huawei GR5 2017 (Honor 6x) and they have observed that the quality of the front camera (in photos and videos) are a bit grainy (or maybe too bright to be true). Build number is on B370. Anyone experienced this? Or any workaround? Thanks.

Disable the beauty mode and it should be bit better. This over exposed thing has been notified to honor officials and they said they will inform their R&D to resolve this
The issue was not limited to the images taken using the front camera. It includes the video quality of the front camera - which doesn't have a Beauty mode.
They received an update just now, but it is just limited to security patches and voLTE and they've advised me that there was no fix on the camera that came with it.
Hello ever since I updated to B370, the star track mode is not working for me anymore. Everytime i try to capture, it will all became white (overexposed). It used to be good when I was in B360. What could have happen? Or what could i do to fix it?

Seems a bug with the update..try clearing the data for camera app in settings. See if it makes any difference.
