WhatsApp default camera is UltraWide? - Sony Xperia 5 Questions & Answers

WhatsApp camera is using the Ultrawide lens, everything is barrelled (curved). Instage uses the main camera and other apps do as well. No way to tell WhatsApp which camera to use, unless anyone knows how too fix this?

It's not a Bug. The Facebook Company just has the worst Developers so far. WhatsApp mimics that pretty good... All they had to do would be Reading Out the Camera ID's correctly. Other Apps don't have that Problems. Check Open Camera for example which can Switch an Show all Camera Moses/Sensors... You could leave a 1 Star Review on the Play Store Like i did plus contacting the Support. That could Help...

I fixed the WhatsApp Camera issues with MARS_SOM BETA4. Flash also works fine now with the Camera (Timing works now).

Snapchat and instagram

how is snapchat on the honor 8 , i heard that its very buggy but i would like to know how it preforms and the video and image quality on snapchat? also heard that instagram is buggy please let me know your experience with these 3rd party camera apps.
I can tell u that snapchat don't work on my rooted H7, and it's the root part that is the problem.. So i think it's Like that for many phones, if rooted No snapchat
It came preinstalled with instagram for me. (LR09 in Belgium from Vmall) Uninstalled it immediately so can't speak about performance.
I assume it works decently since it came preinstalled.

I haven't had any issues with either Snapchat or Instagram on my phone, and I use both apps often for some projects I'm involved with. Both apps push out updates often enough that issues are usually resolved fairly quickly, so any issues may have been resolved before I got my phone.

Go to settings-->More settings-->Applications-->All-->Whatsapp-->Permissions and see if camera permission is checked. If not, just do it !
Cheers~
I have global version and front camera not working.
I also have the global version with the latest update and all possibles permissions, but the front camera does not open on Whatsapp. If someone has a solution it's nice
Global version, latest whatsapp and firmware. Front camera is coming up nice and smooth. I gave all permissions when asked for.
Maybe re-install whatsapp?
Go to settings / more settings /applications /turn on the front camera. And it's working tada ?
I just discovered that
Thanks you!
Thank you so much. Also managed to set chrome as default from here. The 2 biggest gripes of my Vivo Nex are now addressed.
Thanks and God bless.

You need to go into settings---more settings---applications---turn on the front camera and check it out.

Question Gcam with third party gallery

Hi,
is it possible to use Gcam with a third party gallery because I kind of dislike Google Photos?
And if it is not possible by default, is there any workaround or even a Gcam mod for the Pixel 7 which is staying as close as possible to the original but just allows me to change the gallery?
Cheers
Kind-of.
Basically, you need a "google-less" build of Android, like GrapheneOS.
You then can install "gcam-services-provider" (photos release from github, not basic).
The gcam services provider will create a "fake" google-photos that can be launched by camera, which then launches your selected gallery application.
Alternatively, you would have to find a way to fully uninstall gooble-photos and create your own shim.
So this means, I uninstall the Photos app from my Pixel, install the "Gcam-Services-Provider Photos" and install a different gallery app. Afterwards, Gcam will open the third party gallery?
Or do I need to uninstall more than the Photos app?
I know that some of the Google Camera Mods, which were called Camera PX, had an option in the settings to use a different gallery outside of Google Photos.
You can try random versions to see what works, but keep in mind, if I'm not mistaken, the Pixel 7 version of the camera is a version ahead of the older Pixel phones. If something doesn't work correctly, just know that everything works fine on the stock camera app.
Another thing is that normally, these mods were to get Google processing and whatnot to work on other devices or bring newer Pixel features to older Pixel phones(this is the version by MWP). I'd recommend trying the MWP version first and checking the settings after that. Idk which version of the camera by which developer had the option, but it does exist.

Question Google Photos alternative, with faces/objects recognition on the phone (not cloud).

Hello
I'm looking for a gallery app, that can recognize faces and objects, without needing to enable cloud backup like Google Photos.
I have too many photos and don't want to pay extra storage on google one.
On my previous OnePlus 5, everything was local, and that was enough, and misses me.
I tried to install every manufacturer gallery app (OnePlus, Oppo, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei...) but none can be installed or is working (probably due to dependencies / external libraries...).
So do you know a great third-party gallery app that can do that locally ?
Thanks.
Probably not what you want but you can install the xmlpak Magisk module, it'll allow you to download and install vendor apps from other manufacturers, no guarantee of it working tho.
Interesting module, I didn't know, thanks.
But I had tried by downloading APKs directly, so it won't help...
The Huawei gallery is really good (I prefer it to Google photos) and offers facial recognition too but I cant get the APK working on my Pixel 7 pro. It has some great build it photo edit options too & a decent video editor. If anyone knows of a way to get it working i'd be really keen to know.
