Anyone else having issues with the Night Shot mode?
It seems inconsistent in that it will either crash or produce a terrible low light picture.
Seems the following occurs for me (MHA-L09 stock firmware):
- load the camera app up and enter Night Shot mode, crashes (see pic 1 of it "processing") - though can see it is processing the low light and the image looks good, but it fails to process the image and save (also had to use another phone to take pic of it as was unable to screenshot it
- try and get back to the app after closing (clearing from memory) and cannot enter it
- reboot, open camera, take a few normal pics and then use Night Shot mode. Successfully captures and processes but the resulting low light image is terrible - full of noise! (see pic 2)
- After trial and error it managed to take a decent pic (see pic 3)
Pretty dam disappointed with this brand new device performing like this...
Hopefully an update could solve this?
Running MHA-L09C432B138
Are you using an sd card?
Try clearing camera data from app settings.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have tried both clearing the app data and not saving to SD card - just tried that now and it saved (didn't crash on processing) but saved a low quality 'noisy' image.
It's strange though, as whilst processing the image on the display looks great - it's the finished product that lets it down!
In night mode did you changed the iso or auto?
That's weird shouldn't be bad,all you can do is a factory rest and try.
If it's still noisy something is faulty,need a replacement.

Will try that for sure. I don't believe it's hardware fault, must be software.

Why you didn't mention that u have unlocked bootloader and flashed ur phone with funky?
Anyway did you factory reset ur phone from settings menu?

Regrettably I missed out that detail! I think at the time of writing then I had restored back and so regarded that as 'stock', but I potentially suspect that restoring with Funky MAY be an aspect....
I am tempted to do a full system restore with HiSuite with pure stock (non-Funky) and test that out

As far as i know hisuite wont work for non Chinese phones.
Do a factory reset from settings,with stock recovery installed,it will do a low level format, could be ur internal storage is corrupted and this can help.

Ok yes that's a great suggestion, will try that out!
Many thanks
I have the same problem. I'm on stock (MHA-L29C432B138), SD-Card or internal storage, same result like in OP.
Edit:
I noticed something. When I take a picture and it shows "in progress" and wait until the lockscreen comes and relock the phone, the pic is taken. Sometimes the camera is still enabled, sometimes it's closed
I tried the same with my Mate 8 (NXT-L29C432B560) , it's the same result.
Looks like it is a Firmware (EMUI/Nougat) bug..
I have the same problem with night shot mode but after change the animation scale to 0.5 in developer option the problem solved. before that i set to off. sorry for my english.

Hi, thanks so much! It works! :good:
Solved it thanks!
are you using HDR mode?
if so disable it, HDR mode makes low light look bad.

Excellent suggestion. It also worked for me! I also changed the 3 animation settings (Window animation Scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale) and set the value at 0.5x and the camera is now fine.
Excellent, thank you so much!!
Thanks so much! I'm new here, signed in just so I could say thank you since this solved my camera problem. Anyone have opinions after owning the Mate 9 for a while? I just got it to replace my Nexus 6P with battery issues- not sure I love it yet.
I'm amazed how well smartphone cameras in general, work, given their size.
A typical 8mp sensor, should be able to print an A3 (11x17) image, but who prints anymore?
They keep placing more and more sensors in these things. More megapixels, typically is only
good for crop/zooming. Increasing the sensors can sometimes backfire because the signal to
noise ratio (crosstalk) increases due to the very small spacing between signal paths.
I wish they would just increase the SIZE of the sensor, put a real 5-10x optical zoom lens on the back
similar to the non phone Samsung Zoom a few years back. But with the trend still that phones have
to be "slim, sexy, colorful & stylish", don't see that happening.

When i switch to panorama on my phone and attempt to take a photo it says, "Camera: Unable to capture photo. Disk full." I'm using 3GB of my 8GB card, so I know there is room on my card. I also tried saving it to main memory with no luck. I also tried switching it to the lowest quality and resolution, all with the same results. Any help would be appreciated.
:Bump: ANyone know of a possible solution>?
Got panorama to take pics, but can't stitch. No ghost image comes up. It just allows me to take 3 pictures, or however many i have the stitch counter set to. Does anyone know which P# folder in the registry and which settings enable the ghost image to enable stitching???
Thanks in advance.
I just noticed that I have this same problem, I think its when I edited the P3 reg.
edit: I changed the settings back to normal and still cannot take panoramic pictures...
Ya i'm having this issue too. I'm not sure what I did to get to this point? I installed NATF v4, I did a radio thingy. I did some GPS tweaks.
Anyone do any of that recently? Maybe we can try to isolate the issue?
I also enabled the FPS counter in the camera, you guys have that enabled?

Yea I initially had that as well. I fixed it by going into the settings and adjusting the sound. Hope that helps at least.
For some reason, the Camera function on my G2X no longer works. It worked a few times previously, but now every time I launch the screen flickers and nothing launches.
Persists across reboot. Cleared data on the camera app, want to avoid wiping the phone if possible.
Anyone run into this, before, or know a fix?

Haven't run into this problem myself but you could try downloading an alternate camera app from the market to see if that works. If it does, you may have to factory reset your phone. If it doesn't, it may be the hardware(the camera itself).

I noticed this problem as well, after rooting the phone. I'm not sure if it was an issue before that or not. But what I found is that if you rotate the phone into landscape mode and then open the camera app it works fine. Only trying to open it in portrait caused me any issues. Hope this helps.

This is ridiculous.
Yet true.
I'll be resetting my phone tonight to fix the battery drain, hopefully this will be resolved at the same time. But this definitely worked, so I can test out this camera some more while I wait. Thanks!
I had this issue too. Try opening while in landscape. Once open switch to portrait then close while in portrait. You should be able to open on portrait after.
Edit: This only works some of the time
Has anyone figured out the camera issue? I had my camera working fine, I rooted the phone and now the camera just flickers around the button. Must have this camera working.
Thanks

Had same issue, as you noted the reset solved my problem, camera is working AOK. I would have hated to loose the camera function, it is a good camera.
2nd phone that my damn camera stopped working after about 15 minutes. I didn't root this phone to make sure that wasn't the issue. The camera worked after I did a factory wipe, got it all set up and was taking pictures while I was setting it up to make sure it wasn't a rogue app. Thought I was in the clear and tried to take a picture and nothing. Same problem everyone else is having. just wiped the phone again for the 3rd time and camera works, going thru same process, can anyone give me any advice on this camera. Very strange and getting real pissed off.

I use anylock to bypass my lock screen so when I get a text message (ssm popup) It will open up my screen automatic and display text message. This way I'm not always pushing my power button to gain entry to phone. Problem is the lock screen app is some how screwing up the camera app. Also tried no lock and same problem.
Just wanted to let anyone using lock screens what I encountered, maybe save you hours of resetting phone.

Mine was doing the same thing and I was about to blame it on Pauls patch. It turned out to be widget locker. I froze it in Titanium and then it came on with no problem. I was really close to wiping AGAIN. Really glad I saw this. Thank You
It"s a app from. Nextbit port by ninnix96..i found that it has manual camera mode.
Working:
In the Cross hair mode you can set your own focus point.
Other wise the Iso, Ev and White balance is working good.
Pinch to Zoom is working.
Bug: Manual Focus is no different then Auto mode.
the default resolution on back camera was set to 0 Mpixel. It was easy to just chose 13 Mpixel to get it right.
When restarting the app all settings is lost. No memmorh from last time used.
Thanks to xda member tissot for knowing us what is working and what is not.

Hey, does anyone else find that the camera on the P9 takes a good 5 or so seconds from clicking the app to it actually displaying the image(this happens randomly but not always)? I find it stays black for a few seconds before it finally displays what the camera sees. Every other app is quick to open though ?

I get this. I wondered if it started when I set the default storage location to SD card.
But, as you say, sometimes it is very quick.

Don't use Snapchat I'm afraid.
I have tested swapping the "priority to SD" flag but it is still inconsistent.
it seems that the problem fixed after disabled (priority to SD) and then take any picture. (so when open camera will load latest photo from internal storage not SD) .
I have this issue too. If the camera is still in the recent app cache it will open instantly. If I close it out and leave it about 5 minutes it can take at least 5 seconds before I can see the on screen image and take a photo...
I don't have the priority SD card switched on. I'm on the UK Vodafone SKU
Any ideas?
the problem is still exist after disabled the priority to sd . (it was ok for one day after disabled priority to sd but the problem back again yesterday) so it's not related to sd card . and it's really annoying when you want to take a picture you will miss it because of slow opening that happens randomly .
I tried the camera in safe mode and it seemed to work fine. Could be a third party app that is trying to launch at the same time.
I'll try investigate further.

ok . please keep us updated
So. Definitely looks to be a software issue. Either at the system level or third party apps. Most likely the latter.
I downloaded Open Camera and had the same inconsistent opening times. After I removed it from recents and opened a few other apps, Open Camera took around 3-5 seconds to be ready to take a shot.
Not sure which app is influencing it so much. So time to start disabling things and testing further. Joy.....

it seems that not everyone has this problem ? what do you think?
How fast does camera open from locked phone if you use the power button and volume down button with to take a photo as soon as it opens?
It tells you speed on screen, maybe we can compare this too? I am getting 1.1 to 1.5 seconds.

you mean double tap the volume down while phone is locked ?
Sorry yes double tap, I always forget how to it and takes me longer than the actual camera to open and shoot.
I just came from Windows phones and am used to having dedicated camera button so am still adjusting.
The ultra snapshot took 1.7 seconds. But immediately after that the camera app was frozen for about 5 seconds before the screen showed live what the lens was seeing and let me take another shot. Really frustrating.
for me it took 1.0 , 1.7 and 2.4. I think the problem with huawei firmware. can you share your software version ?
EVAL09
C02B133
I tired removing well known resource heavy apps. Facebook, Twitter etc but no change. I removed AL3 as my launcher and went back to stock. Seemed to improve slightly but still get the 5-7 second freeze every now and again.
so it's not related to my model eval19 . so Huawei must know about this problem to solve it in new update . but I don't know how ?
Hi everyone,
I'm facing an issue with burst shooting.
When I burst-shoot photos in mid to low light conditions using the HTC stock camera app, I can see that most of the photos (except the first 3-5 photos) are filled with colorful noise all over them...
I'm using an EMEA HTC U11 128GB model with 1.27.401.5 software and camera app v9.20.9740975.
Am I the only one that facing this issue?
Please refer to the attachments to see the problem yourself.
Left image is the third burst-shot and looks OK.
Right image is the fifth burst-shot and looks very grainy (all the burst shots from the 5th and on look like that)
There is nothing wrong with it. Burst mode does not have the noise reduction algorithms which are available in hdr auto mode. Therefore these shots are perfectly normal in bad light conditions. Mine does the same.

When I capture burst shots on the ported google camera app, all photos are looking just fine without all that densed noise so I think you are wrong. You can try it yourself.
Something is very wrong with this feature on stock camera app on my side, I'm sure that it doesn't need to look like that at all.
I see a clear difference between the 3 to 5 first shots and all the rest, it's like they were taken by a different sensor!
I thought you were asking if your phone has a problem or not, so I answered according to what I understood.
It's how the stock camera app is. It needs some updates to fix these issues, there is nothing we can do about it except waiting.
I do believe that google camera is superior to stock app with good settings in almost every condition therefore I use google camera.

Thanks for the clarification.
Meanwhile I will continue to use burst captures only on Google Camera app.
Hope that HTC knows about this issue and trying to fix this as we speak. :fingers-crossed:
