Anyone know how to fix this? Using the stock camera, the front facing camera looks fine.. but using WhatsApp it looks as though it doesn't have the correct drivers/doens't have the correct api and quality is so much worse.
Thanks

The front camera seems to give really grainy pictures along with some color distortion. Are you guys experiencing the same with your front camera?
Me too
I think I am facing a similar issue. Here are some samples from my phone. can you/others upload some samples from their front camera ?
I think it may depend on the lighting in the room I have had perfect pictures and grainy ones with the front camera

Guys I use HTC Explorer/pico... I wanted to know that if a front cam can be installed in our device as it certainly lacks one...and if it can't be installed then can the back camera be used for video calling??

From a hardware point of view it would be pretty easy to install a front facing camera. All you would then have to do would be develop some housing (casing) for it. But you would need to create a rom with or add to your current rom, coding that allows the use of the camera. Like a driver.
In short, it's a mission creating a front facing camera. I would suggest updating.
Same issue with my xperia x8 though. I might get a samsung nexus or s3. Also about the back camera thing, you could easily use this for video calling but it would be very inconvenient to video call someone if you could not see them.
Sorry if this is not what you wanted. Please thank me if you appreciate it.
Wow thats in depthv :laugh:
Yes it would be quite hard installing a front facing camera.
better buy a phone with front cam rather than fixing it on the explorer:angel:
So I searched the forums and looked up few threads and saw a couple people complaning about noisy cams and pink spots. But didn't see anyone with a purple front cam problem and couldn't find examples. My problem is with my front cam it is normally a little bit grainy and not so good but I am not complaining. But when I cover the lens with my finger it is bad, really bad. I mean look at it, is this supposed to be black ? Now I am thinking it is not a software problem because my back cam does not have this. So I think this is a hardware thingy. My question is, is this how the front cam works or is it a defect ? Can you guys please post some front cam photos with lens covered?
I have the same problem and idk how to fix that problem, i tried manual and superior mode and same problem :/

Do you also have it only in your front cam or do you have the problem in both back and front cams ? Can you post a pic from your front cam while your lens is covered ? Because I am starting to think that this is the way front cam supposed works. If we can see pics from some other Z3's, we can conculede.

Front camera is not normally bad in default app, you must have software or hardware issue. This is a Snapchat issue, you should probably email developer.

I mean against the main camera. front is not so good. i tested it with 4-5 devices at same quality level they are all slightly better in terms of front camera. i dont know my device has problem or not but, i couldn't take clear photo in close-up. it seems little bit blurry

Of course the rear camera is going to be better than the front camera. You can not take close up pictures with the front(selfie cam). Phone needs to be at least a foot away(arms length is better).
Threes definitely an issue with Snapchat and the front camera on this phone. The photos are ridiculously grainy and much worse than front photos taken with the stock camera app.
Yes it is. Snapchat team needs to fix that on their software. But I don't think that it will be soon

Interested to buy this phone but the front camera is a turn-off for me since it lacks any stabilization. will any camera app able to solve this problem?
no
