Anyone with a Snapdragon S10e experiencing selfies being saved sideway and Live Focus doesn't work for most of the time?
The first bug is easy to replicate. Try closing all apps in the background, open camera app and then take a selfie. The first selfie is always saved in landscape orientation on my S10e.
I know the workaround to the above bugs, but I am still thinking am I the only few having this hardware issue of a faulty sensor or it's a software bug that most people are experiencing?
None of these bugs on my G9700

Hello guys,
I don't know if it happens to you, but I've got some ugly bug on my front camera. Wherether I'm trying to shoot photos, I've some good exposure in preview, but after I shoot a picture, the exposure goes under or over exposure, but never the one I get on a preview screen (before hitting the button). Is this a known bug and is there any way to fix it.
I didn't see anyone complain about it, so I think it's not common. By the way, I tried to use different roms and diferent camera apps, it all the same.
The only thing I found on the internet is this site:

Yea, it's a common bug, that haven't been fixed.
To me it only happens in very good daylight and the photos end up overexposed, HDR doesn't help.

So I have this bug too, any pictures taken with the front facing camera outside during the day are almost entirely white, you can just about make out what the picture is of. But the preview and movies taken with the front facing camera are fine suggesting it's software. I have no screen protector, no case, unrooted, KitKat out of the box. Tried different camera apps with no difference.
I know this was posted a while ago but any updates on this? Can lollipop change anything? I have a moto g LTE in the US so no L for me yet. Can I adjust settings in the camera app (I downloaded the apk for the moto camera that has settings access)?
This issue, along with the multitasking problems that mean I can't even listen to music while surfing, have tempted me to give up on this phone entirely.

Dunno if it's fixed in Lollipop, but I can test. I just don't use the front camera much.
I got no such problem with multitasking at all, even on Lollipop, let alone KitKat that was way better in the memory management.

Thanks for offering to test it - I'd really love to know if L makes a difference. I don't often use my front facing camera either, but just knowing I don't have the option to use it is seriously off putting. Last week I ran into a friend of mine I hadn't seen in years, and after trying to take a picture together you couldn't see either of our faces. It was so disappointing.
As for the multitasking, it seems like some phones have an issue while others don't - all I know is that when I have Google Play open, launching Chrome causes Play to close after 30 seconds, no crash error or anything. Same with the home screen having to redraw after exiting almost every app I use, and Chrome tabs reloading every time I switch between them. I've gone as far as uninstalled the memory hogging facebook and other apps, but the problem persists. Painful is the only word for this phone at the moment.

Tested and I couldn't reproduce the bug on 5.0.2. It takes pretty normal pictures now.
Can you tell me if on KK you can enable HDR? On lollipop this is not accessible at all.

I have hope for the lollipop update then! Yes on Kk you have three options for HDR, on, off and auto.
Hi everyone, i want suggestions guys, my opo's main camera focus is acting weird since last update, it was working great on 44s and then i updated it and the camera stopped working, cell phone showed theres no main camera attached to board, like camera app opened with front camera on by default, and there was no camera switching button. So i decided to deassemble the device thinking that it was some hardware issue, but everything looked fine in there, so i just disconnected and reconnected the camera sensor ribbon/connector to board just to make sure, and restarted device, canera came back somehow, but since then camera focus lock became horrible, anything out of 2feet range is blurred and out of focus, when cell auto focuses, theres a perfect focus point but camera locks its focus after that on blurred image, yesterday i flashed back to 44s and camera focus became a bit better, not perfect but way better than before, so now i think it is not entirely a hardware issue, something in camera firmware or drivers, can somebody help me on this issue please?
Same as mine after updating to lollipop.
guys please help saw something in the youtube about nexus 5 having the same issue fixed by tasker app running shell script. killall mm-daemon-camera tred but not working maybe some dev can help us use this method to fix the issue.
I have this amazing device since last month and as I travel a lot I'm facing a strange issue with the selfie camera. When you take a photo with the front camera you can't select the zone to focus and so in places with a lot of light my photos resulted to be too overexposed with the background that was really difficult to see. Is there any solution with the stock camera app?

the fron cam has fixed focus so you can't change it manually. Try moving your hand and re positioning the camera. That generally helps me in fixing the exposure to light.
Does any of you experience the same problems with panorama mode? It's just not working. Results are unusable. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software issue.
Mine has the same issue, while Google camera port does better job, even that one has errors
I've the same with another phone when using to take pictures of the sea. To much movements of the ripples.
i‘ve the same problem with panorama mode. it‘s not possible to take a picture. process crashs at first segment. don‘t know if it‘s a hardware/software isle.
It's not happening because of the lamps above, it happens on natural lighting too. It happens when camera focuses to a new area where the lighting level is different. Is this a defect, or is it the same for everyone ?
Here are 2 example videos:
It's really weird because it doesn't happen on the photo mode or on other apps when i'm taking a video, it only happens in the camera app video section. It happens on auto fps mode too. I tried taking videos with other phones on the same condition, and they just focus normally without that weird flicker. Is this a software issue or is my camera defective ?
Would be happy if y'all can help, thank you.

Already a Thread here:
Video Flickering at 60fps
Anyone else notice this? I did find a small thread on Samsung.com so not sure if its a hardware issue or if all of them have it. -...
forum.xda-developers.com
@hyelton check this, the exact same problem. Hope it's not a hardware problem and they fix it with an update
Yep same issue here. Glad I'm not the only one to notice the issue

Do you think it's a software problem ? Wish other people checked this and reported here too. Did you report it to Samsung ?
Does it happen if the camera is held in the proper orientation, i.e. landscape? Portrait mode should never be used for video capture. Hopefully in the future *all* phones will properly capture video in landscape mode regardless if the user holds it vertically or not!

Orientation doesn't matter happens either way

What about a different camera app? I use Filmic Pro and have never seen this.
If I did, it would definitely raise cause for alarm!

Orientation and auto fps doesn't matter, it still happens. My post also says it doesn't happen on other apps.
I'm so happy to say that May update I just received (S908EXXU2AVDA) fixed this problem. Can you check if it's fixed for you too ? @hyelton I tried every specific condition that it flickered before and it doesn't flicker anymore, made me happy that it wasn't a hardware problem and they were aware of the issue.
Does it happen with adaptive refresh rate?
Because some apps flicker when this is turned on.

No, it was happening on 60fps video shooting, it's not about 120hz. It got fixed with the May update.
