I've just noticed that I no longer have control of the flash in auto mode after the update. The flash icon is grayed out. I can't be sure it's related to the Nougat update but it the most recent significant change to my phone.
Has anyone else experienced this?
EDIT: never mind, I figured it out. I was in HDR mode, not HDR auto. I didn't realize this disabled flash control.

I didn't realise the HDR was on too until I saw your edit :laugh:
Thanks! I thought I was going crazy.

I and a coworker who also has a transformer have experienced an issue with the camera. When changing from normal camera mode to panorama mode the camera fails to initiate and doesn't turn on. It's just a black screen.
Anyone else run into this same issue ? It happens vice versa also, from panorama to camera or to video.

Hmm. Well glad me and my buddy aren't the only ones.
So how do we report this bug officially to Asus is the next question.....

Did you update using CWM? I don't have this bug and I updated from OTA.
Same here
Completely stock, B90, SBK2, OTA update. Panorama closes camera app.

Clearing the camera app's cache allowed me to actually use the camera again.
hope Asus (or devs) fix this, would really like to be able to use panorama mode
For the record, I flashed the rooted zip posted here.
It's fine for me. I used the Full CWM file along with a Format...not a wipe
Same issue here, stock unrooted, OTA update B50.

If the rest of the stuff works it's absolutely not worth it trying to fix it. The picture quality it makes is just crappy. Maybe it's the lighting or I am turning it too fast. This is how it looks like.
Same bug here.
B6O
CWM rooted ics.. wiped all
I never use the camera so happy to wait for fix from Asus..
think we need more detailed info to pin this down because i'm not having this issue with my tf. weird that several of you are.
Workaround Fix for Panorama Bug
The panorama camera bug is related to security>screen lock feature in ICS.
I did a full wipe to get the camera working and then I realized it only stopped working after I had set a pin on it.
Apparently if you set it as a pattern, pin, or password it will cause the panorama feature to lock up.
The only way to get it working is by setting your security>screen lock to "none" or "slide".

Wow, good diagnosis. I'll have to try that see if I can also replicate this fix. Unfortunately I need to use a pattern or some sort of lock code. Prying eyes lol. Oh well. I don't really use my tablet as a camera anyways. I just wanted to show off panorama to someone

confirmed.
I put a pattern and when switching to panorama the camera went black then crashed as I switched to normal.

I can confirm panorama worked after removing the PIN feature. I chose the security locksreeen option of None without issue. When I turned PIN back on, it was the same black screen. According to logcat, I didn't see much other than the camera activity being destroyed an activity pause timeout for the PanoramaActivity.
Such an odd thing to cause camera activity to cease. Why in the world is a lockscreen causing issues with switching camera modes? Oh well. Like I said. I can live with it, hopefully a fix is found and pushed to our devices

Hi there, I'd love to buys this phone cos of physical shutter button and battery life...
BUT!!!
The camera seems to lack full manual controls, so I've read that Manual Camera is compatible with the Z5 and brings control over shutter speed, manual focus and so on. But not RAW and I can live with that.
So, have anyone tried this app yet? Or could do me the huge favour to test the demo version to see if it fully works? A video would be great, but I would just accept a yes or no.
That's what i got.

Yeah I've seen that image. I was wondering if was really working
No the camera and the phone freeze while trying use any of the manual mode.

Although it says manual ISO and shutter, I am guessing it has to use the ISO to change the shutter speed?
So, this camera phone............kind of camera phone..........is totally useless to me. Let's get a Sammy S6.
I also want to know which app can allow me to manual focus, adjust shutter speed and change ISO. I have tried Camera FV-5 but also not working.
Just a securiy patch getting ready for 7.0.1
Only seeing BPI3 with the Verizon Upgrade Assistant Software on my Note 5 on the TotalWireless network. Updating now, maybe BPJ3 will show up once I finish this update.
EDIT:Wow, something is up, I just realized that I participated in the BPI3 update thread, now I'm wondering why it said I needed that update again, could have sworn I was already on it...Will check it out once the "upgrade" it is doing finishes. :?
EDIT2: It actually was BPJ3 that it upgraded to, I have the November 1 security patch now. Seems like the Upgrade Assistant Software is downloading something else now as well. It's about 30% done.
EDIT3: Guess it was a glitch of some sort, it downloaded the BPJ3 software twice, and now says I'm up to date. That was odd. Oh well, bring on 7.x.x!
Anyone has camera problems after the update? My pictures taken after the update in landscape mode are showing in protraits. On google photos they are also displayed in the wrong rotation. So the problem should be the camera not gallery. Really annoying...

Same on my phone, they do not automatically rotate. I took a video in landscape mode and copied it to a PC but it played back in VLC as portrait. The update also changed my brightness settings. I don't check auto anymore because it is always too dark.
I did some searches so I hope this has not been covered yet... but I am new to the pixel phones and I have heard how great they are... so I was excited to take some pictures of my kids and my cousin.. however most of them came out blurry... I thought maybe the skin that came on the phone may have been interfering but after removing it saw the same issue... so after doing some digging.
I found that the HDR mode slows the shutter speed and can cause action shots to suffer... so i've been turning off HDR mode... but I noticed that it always defaults to HDR Auto when i go into the camera app and I did not see a setting to turn this off...
QUESTION: Is there a way to change the default camera mode on the stock pixel camera app?
Thank you!

Very simple. Click on that hdr+ auto sign and choose hdr off after expansion
It's a stupid decision made by Google to make it default to HDR auto on the Pixel 1 phones. The nexus phones and as far as I know the Pixel 2 generation do not have this behavior. Do not know of any mods which have bit through this problem either.

could you explain this in more detail? thanks!
I turn off hdr+ and it stays off for me.
using arnovas gcam mod but iirc this was the behavior on stock.
so i wonder if that mod helps keep the changes.. mine still continues to default to HDR + Auto each time I go back into the camera..

My completely stock Pixel XL does this.

Same happens with the NightEnabled_GoogleCamera_6.1.013_cstark27.apk.
You can turn HDR off but when the app restarts the setting is AUTO.
This must be controlled by the phone I assume, not the app itself.
Has anyone fixed this?
Hi Guys, I am using stock camera and I am recently upgraded to Android 9.0 The problem I am facing is whenever camera detect faces, it automatically goes into Portrait mode. This is annoying especially in night time when shooting under artificial lighting condition. While taking group photos, its unnecessarily blurs the background and edge detection is also not good.
I would like camera to take normal photos not Portrait. I have checked all settings but there is no way I can disable it. Really hoping I get my working GCAM as it was working on Android 8.2, till then have to use stock camera
