Hi guys. I was wondering if someone with a rooted device could answer me this. So, since the A8 has no live focus on rear camera, I wonder if it's possible activating it just by adding the same lines of the selfie camera on the camera-feature.xml file on the rear camera section.
Maybe Samsung could have disabled this. Since like the S8 has just one camera and got the live focus. I don't know, maybe the software really don't support it and I could be wrong.

Nexus 5 front video camera is dark!
I never posted a thread so hello, but I have a major issue with my Nexus 5. I checked on Google and I couldn't find anyone else with this problem. My front video camera is dark, it's as if the exposure settings are at like -5. That's how dark it is. I also have the camera mod downloaded (my phone's rooted). If you have any answer can you please provide it? THANKS!
Edit: I tried other apps and it's fine, I don't want to use them because most 3rd party camera apps suck. Front facing picture camera is ok too. Therefore it isn't a hardware issue.
Seems like it's the camera mod hack, from the sound of it.
Are you on a custom ROM? It may be interfering with the hack (I'm not familar with the mod.)

I actually took it off to test the actual camera. I was feeling like returning the phone, but ironically the phone fixed itself a couple minutes ago. I have no idea how, don't ask me, but it did. I'll close the thread. Thanks anyways!

Solutions given here:
Use your warranty.
Change the camera.
Take a component out that doesn't let the camera focus.
Is the lens dirty? It seems worse if it is dirty.

I also have the focus issue. No rom, modem, or software update fixes it. It seems to be a physical issue. I can gently tap the side of the phone while in the camera app and the camera starts auto-focusing correctly again (for a little while). I'm ordering a new camera to replace it soon.

Hello lovely XDA forum.
So my big problem is when I'm recording a video my camera doesn't focus perfektly.. Watch this 2 videos than you will know what i mean. "Sorry i cant post the 2 video links because new here in this forum" It's just focusing when I manually focus it but it's always blurry when it try to autofocus. And yes I also try to reset my phone and this also doesn't work and I also go to the samsung store and all what they did was a software update and they really told me they will change the camera.. I hope someone can help me with this problem..

If they offered you to change the camera, DO IT ASAP! these camera issues once started will keep on incrementing day by day. So, either get your phone replaced or get your cam module changed! Cheers :good:

my front camera is taking blurry pictures this is happening from few weeks i considered taking it to service center but maybe you people can help
blurry pictures as in if i take a selfie,the face appears washed out or very cartoonish type if i zoom in it gets distorted and its lacking details its not taking as sharp pictures as it use to take before although rear camera is working fine... please help
I have a similar problem with my front camera. Pictures taken are really ugly, the look like they have a beauty effect on it, or some blur. I thought this is normal...
It is normal. MAYBE rooting can undo the beauty effect, but on stock, beauty effect set to 0 is not really 0

So you say your friends phone does not have this beauty effect??? maybe it is firmware related. I am on 5.0.2. This sounds like a software issue...
I don't use the front camera anymore because the result is terrible.
Are there any others with good pictures made with front camera?

yes his s6 takes better pictures! without the beauty effect unless ofcourse he turns it on and no i dont have any other friends who own a s6 but i just watched many reviews on youtube and it seems this is a problem with our s6 only
and i guess it is firmware related but im on latest firmare of 5.1.1(G920IDVU3DOK9) for my region
maybe it is hardware issue? lens problem?

Any help?
As many have heard or experienced, the stock Razer camera sucks. The Google Camera Port is awesome but does anyone know the optimal setting for the Razer phone? Those options are complex and I have no idea about really any of them.

I haven't tried that TBH. I just use the internal storage.
Here you go
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/....20_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk
That apk based off google camera 4.4 modified by B-S-G .
I had issues with recent 5.x update so do recomend just stick with 4.4
does it make any difference at all between the stock and this google camera?
it's the only thing keeping me from buying this awesome phone , that is the camera of course.
cheers !

Hey guys, I installed the Pixel camera app and immediately I noticed an improvement. The Razer camera seems to have a lag to it when moving it to different objects to take a photo. The Google app eliminated that. It's very smooth. Also, I noticed using the Google apk the photos don't look as grainy.
I can't wait for Razer to make improvements to the camera. It has potential. I will continue to experiment with this Google apk.

Hey guys, here's that link to the video comparison if you want to see it.
Google pixel camera apk on Razer phone.
Proves Razer's camera has potential!
The video compares the camera of the Pixel 2 XL to the camera of the Razer.
The video does not show the Razer phone using two different apps.

My friend, watch it again. He specifically says it's the Razer phone using the Pixel 2 XL ported camera app.
I think I actually prefer razer cam, the colour have a better depth and overall contrast - still dreaming of root and camera2 api for RAW capability, this phone will be a dream when that day comes!

When the lumia 1520 came out it was so horrible I stopped using the camera. Took a few months but they fixed the app, camera is still amazing even with the new phones coming out.
This is one area they're focusing on, they remarked they wanted to at least get basic functionality down, which you have to give them props on, Jan-Nov and they get a concept to market, and it doesn't suck. lol
Coming from years of Sony phones I have to say this is quite the piece of kit. Thoroughly enjoying audio and video. The camera is quite bad but I can wait for a fix.
Cool, right off the bat I can take pictures of text on my monitor without it going fuzzy like the pre-update camera app. Anyone care to try post-update razer camera app to take a pic of a website on their monitor? Does it go fuzzy?
i need the pixel camera to save to external sd card - is there a modded apk which offers this option?
obviously the reason it doesnt have that option off the bat is because the pixel does not have a micro sd slot

It should prompt you that's weird.
Anyway try launching the camera via the lockscreen see if that prompts you to change the default
