problem no. 1 :- when i am video calling on whatsapp my video is totally laggy (check problem no. 2 ) and my face is always out of focus.
problem no 2 :- when i am clicking videos with snapchat or instagram or facebook in indoor light or low light, the video is a total crap , it is so much laggy that it is not usable ( seems like the camera is trying to drop the shutter speed to compensate with low or mediocre light.)
This should not be the case when using camera with 3rd party apps .
the video should be smooth ( as in iphones) no matter how dark the video comes out to be because the low light claim of s9 series should be in its native camera app and it should not spoil the camera in 3rd party apps like snapchat / insta / fb .
sounds like the issue with 3rd party apps and not samsung
if everything work ok with samsung camera app then its an issue with the apps that need to be updated
unless you the only one having this issue then try to reset phone (i dont use those apps so i cant check)

i just made a discovery and was wondering anyone else who has the same programs can check this out....
i am running damage control latest and the kernal modified for damage control for the novatek panels..so i get about 44 to 46 fps consistently now. HOWEVER when i use the stock camera application it behaves exactly the same as it used too before the fps kernal, basically in low light the frame-rate drops to something less than 19fps (19fps is about what the human eye can distinguish as "movement without blurring or choppiness") and the camcorder works the same way, so even though the camcorder is supposed to be recording at 24fps, in low light it really isnt. i bought the app "vignette" and its a neat camera app that has a bunch of really cool filters, well anyway BEFORE the new kernal it basically behaved the exact same way as the stock camera app, it would get blurry and choppy in low light situations (fps would drop below 19) however something interesting happed AFTER i installed the kernal! the vignette app actually performed better than the default camera app, it seems that vignette actually didnt drop below 19 fps as even in a very low light situation i could move the camera around and the picture wouldn't blur or get choppy. so this leads me to conclude that
1. something is holding back performance of the stock camera and camcorder that the fps kernal doesnt fix (which was already known)
and most importantly 2. it seems that maybe third party apps are NOT affected by whatever is holding back the stock camera!
so my theory is that if there is a third party app for video recording perhaps we can get proper fps video recording in low light situations....!!!!
I made a video showing the differences with my flip mino HD and its currently uploading to youtube i will edit the post with the youtube video once its done.
but if anyone else has a the modified fps kernal and can test this please let us know what you find. if you have vignette then try vignette if you have another third party camera app then try that. perhaps by comparing the code between the two apps we can see what might be holding back the performance of the stock camera.
EDIT for video
Very interesting discovery... I hope you are on to something here. Thanks
i just tried taking the cam with vignette... gorgeous!
what third party app uses the video camera? i want to test that out too.
this app is great, just downloaded it n i like it alot. gotta find a thrid party video app now n we would be set.
That would be sweet if an 3rd party app could fix it.

I have been through 3 different custom roms and 1 stock untouched rom, and NONE seem to work correctly with video chat apps and the front camera.
ooVoo doesn't see front camera at all (even though O3D is listed as supported device)
Tango front camera is EXTREMELY zoomed in, even holding phone at the length of my fully extended arm its hard to get my entire face on screen
Fring doesn't see front camera
Qik for T-mobile (from market) works, but at about 1 frame per second and its a grainy pixelated 1 frame at that
Skype doesn't see the front camera
I don't even KNOW of any other video chat apps... I'd love to find something that WORKS, thats cross platform since all my friends have iPhone's - or the greatest would be to find something that is FACETIME (iPhone) capable/compatible.
I'm currently using the RushDroid v21b GingerBread rom (fyi)

Camera JB+ :good: Try it. A good app but paid.
Try switching on Image Stabilization and put the Focus Mode to Single Focus. This ought to remover blurriness to some extent.
If you're complaining about unclear detail when you zoom in the photo, then I believe you'll have to change the camera sensor, no app can help that
Suffering the same.
blurriness is not the problem to me. But the photos are extremely noisy and have pale colors with low contrast. In addition, the camera without HDR has a very low contrast ratio.
Sony should build in a Sigma X3F sensor. :laugh::laugh:
Hi guys,
I am using latest global stable rom (7.5.1) and i noticed something wrong with instagram. As you all know instagram released new update and you can use the instagram like @snapchat which you can upload your story. I liked the app. But the problem is when you upload a story you have to take a picture or record video inside of the application. When i try to do that simply the rear camera picture or video quality is amazingly poor.
Any other one faced the issue? And any solution you you can provide?
Btw I tried global developer rom latest version as well (6.7.29) which came back to same issue as well.
Waiting for your feedbacks. Thanks.
After few tries..
Well ok what i found out after few tries is quite funny and simple. The problem is not the camera drivers or device specs.
Instagram app is automatically selecting the lowest quality video recording option. What i am trying to say is; since rear camera has recording options ( sd, hd, full hd, 4k) the app is making the lowest quality selection by itself. When it comes to front camera since there is no option to choose the quality of front camera video recording then instgram takes the fixed one which is already full hd ( you can find video recording settings inside of camera app for both rear and front cameras) I believe this is done due to decrease the data consumption.
So now the case is if we can simply remove the option of 'SD Video Recording of the back camera' then we can post good quality videos on instagram
So if someone know, how the camera recording quality can be removed from the system please let me know
Thanks in advance
Can we fix the quality of snapchat camera ? I have an Honor 8 which makes beautiful photos but with snapchat it's totally ****ty... Can we fix this or help Snap making good app on our device ?
Yes, I want an improved app or solution for this too.
Sadly ,No dev will touch the third party apps
