[Q] Camera Orientation Problem - Motorola Droid Bionic

Hey guys,
I am using a rooted droid bionic with only programs on the approved list frozen.
When in the stock camera app, it now defaults to landscape mode, and will not change as I rotate the camera. It causes pictures to now appear as if I was intending to take them with the camera sideways, so I have to rotate them often to make them correct.
Rebooting doesn't fix the issue, and the problem seems to now persist when in skype (sending me turned on the side with front camera), and potentially google talk (I haven't tested yet). I would think it was related to frozen applications, but it just started happening a week ago.
Any tips or ideas to help would be great, let me know if you need anything more from me.
Thanks,
Cobalt

Play around with your resolution settings. I had a similar issue with the camcorder and found that unless I use 720 or 1080 resolution it always messes with the orientation. The Camera also has an option to use HD (6MP to fit the screen). I find using that is better then setting it to 8MP which messes around with orientation at times.

Tried. Didn't seem to affect anything. Both changing the picture resolution and the camcorder record setting, nothing happened.
On the other hand, I tried the fastboot and FXZ recovery method, and it seems to have worked, to some extent? It now correctly registers the orientation change when saving the pictures, but still does not rotate the icons when using the camera app. As an added bonus, it left all my accounts/programs intact, and just flashed the system files.
Technically fixed, I guess?

Does your screen act funny when exiting camera?

Yes, another camera thread.
First off, my camera seems a bit sluggish, like it pauses when I tap the gallery pictures, or settings.
Second off, when I exit camera, the screen like, re sizes itself, I have it in "8mp mode"
Does anyone else experience this?
I use Camera360 (free version) instead of the stock camera, but it tends to behave strangely as well... This may be completely unrelated since you're most likely referring to the stock camera. Anyhow, the camera will go to a black screen after I've taken a few pics and I'll have to close the app before the viewfinder will fully function again.

My camera360 does that too. I think the screen is funny there cause its not formatted for the qHD yet. The camera issue, I think is a update Camera360 needs, cause on my GFs Captivate, it doesn't have that problem.

[Q] Problem with 3rd party camera apps: Preview image is turned by 90 degrees

Hi community,
I've got a strange problem with most of the 3rd party camera apps on my Ace (GT-S5830i)
When using the default camera app everything worls just fine but when trying to use a different one like camera 360 or Pro HDR camera the preview image is turned by 90 degrees and the image looks somewhat stretched. The results look normal though (if I manage to turn the camera the right way around).
So the question is, has anyone else had the same Problem? Is there a solve for this?
Custom ROMs are no option because there are no working ones for the GT-S5830 with the I behind ;-)
One thing I just recognized: The Apps barcode scanner and barcoo are working properly.
Yes, i have the same problem, my celphone is the s5830m, this phone have a lots of problems, the games 3d dont work in this model. Sorry for my english
Me too
Same here GT-S5830C... some1 can help us?? Maybe is some secret configuration.. lol :cyclops:

Zoom not working correctly for some camera apps

For a while now, I haven't been able to zoom in/out properly using camera apps that I've found on the app store (particularly Z Camera and Camera360). The problem is that when these camera apps are open, the image you see does not zoom. So if I pinched zoomed (or even used the volume keys to zoom), the live view you see does not zoom. However, once you actually take a picture, then the zoom actually shows up. Here's an example to hopefully clarify the problem:
Using the Camera360 app, I pinch zoom to 8x but don't take the picture yet. The live picture view on my screen stays at 1x even though I zoomed to 8x. Then, I take the picture and when I view/open it, the image is truly zoomed in to 8x.
As you can probably guess, this issue is a bit frustrating since you can't really tell how much you've zoomed in/out until after you take the picture. The strange thing is that the stock camera app works perfectly (no zoom problems).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active-i537. This problem existed when I had UCUAMF3 (4.2.2) as my firmware. I've done a factory reset, and that didn't solve the issue. I just installed UCUCNE3 (4.4.2) in hopes of fixing the problem, but that also hasn't helped.
Any ideas as to what's causing this issue and how to fix it?

10bit HEVC Extreme Black Crush after using Camera App

Somthing I noticed a few times on my Note 9 was that some times my media files would play very dark. Now this would only happen with 10 bit Hevc files.
So I did some trouble shooting and found that whenever I start and exit the camera in "Photo" mode this would happen.
I have put a pic for a 10 bit hevc video paused on the phone, in both instances all settings are the same, the pic titled "No Black Crush" is before using the camera and the other after using the camera and exiting in Photo mode. From the pic we can see that one pic is significantly darker and details are lost (eg. White spots on the sign and some background stuff).
The only way to fix the black crush is to restart the device.
Would really appreciate if some one out there that is using an Exynos version and plays 10bit hevc videos on the phone would help in testing some stuff out.
Edit - Ok so I guess some more info is in order.
Device info - Note 9 Exynos (Model SM-N960F) on latest official build and NON ROOTED
To replicate issue download the video in the link (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QR-5JEWNOFI3nbvbLR_80Z7BgA37Dil_)
1. Restart phone
2. Play the video using stock video player (keeping Video Enhancer on makes noticing the bug easier as screen is brighter, Video Enhancer off should also work)
3. Open stock camera and make sure "Photo" mode is selected and then exit staying in "Photo" mode (switching camera modes wont let the bug show up.)
4. Play the clip again. BOOM everything is a dark mess.
5. Restart phone and play the clip again and everything looks clear again

does changing the the screen mode from adaptive display to amoled cinema or even basic help at all?
if you get inconsistent results then it would seem that is would have something to do with the "auto" nature of the display mode. moreover the ambient lighting in the room you are watching might also be a cause. adaptive brightness might produce different results and might be tied the the screen mode as described above.
so remove auto brightness and put screen mode to Amoled cinema or even basic if you really want to compare apples with apples.

Since I have been seeing this behaviour for some time now I have actually checked to see what was triggering it. Changing the screen mode does not help. Also in the pic I attached the brightness level is the same since adaptive brightness is off.
Now I understand where you are coming from but this is not a screen illumination issue. If I play a H264 file everything works fine no black crush even HEVC files which are not 10bit play correctly, the issue is only with 10bit HEVC files.
Oh and am not sure if you are aware as to what "black crush" is, it basically is the tendency of amoled panels to make dark areas so dark that u loose details in the video. In the pic I uploaded u can clearly see that one pic is significantly darker than the other even though all settings are kept exactly the same even the brightness levels are the same but dark areas appear much too dark when the bug is triggered.

ok well if basic mode dosent change this then how about video enhancer? that's an other peice of trash i disable.
btw its hard to help or replicate when you provide 0 info on your testing enviroment....
like what player are you using?

Ok, so you are right. More info definitely needed so I have updated the original post with details on how to replicate the issue and have shared a clip as well that you can download and play using the stock video player.

Below mentioned steps should work to replicate the bug.
Testing to be done on Exynos version.
To replicate issue download the video from the link in the very first post
1. Restart phone
2. Play the video using stock video player (keeping Video Enhancer on makes noticing the bug easier as screen is brighter, Video Enhancer off should also work)

so i forgot before leaving for home to do the test while having access to an other phone taking a picture of both scenarios so that i could analyze both pictures. but by testing it right now doesn't seem to make any difference.( picture seems ok.) but i am using a custom rom and kernel and system is heavily modded so who knows that might have had an impact. also when you do switch from camera to video, do you remove the camera app from memory( remove it from recents? i left it and no change)
for what's it worth im on a july build...
ill try again tomorrow this time taking before and after pictures

Ahh so I should have mentioned. Am on July official build, non rooted (still have 2 months on the warranty). I guess rooting and a modified system would have an impact on the issue but thanks for testing out. Out of curiosity what is your setup? Which custom rom and kernel are u using and what extra addons if any.

Question Bokeh effect

Hi gang,
I'm having a weird issue on my vivo x60 pro+. Sometimes I can't adjust the bokeh effect on the image I took in portrait mode. It seems to be a bit random. Restarting my phone does make it work again but does some appear to have had this bug?
Thx
For me it happens also. I clear data of camera and gallery app and the new camera shots can be adjusted. But the old ones never get fixed.
After you cleared the cache did it happen again?
The old bokeh photos didnt work. I couldnt adjust focus.but new ones worked. And after software update it didnt happen again
Does anyone know if there are apps for the PC/Mac that will allow you to adjust the bokeh of the photos we take or is it only the Album app on our phones?
I'd like to free up some space, but I won't delete the images if I lose that functionality
