[Q] CM9 Camera Distortion - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 3 touchpads. I installed the latest CM9 build (cm-9-20130127-NIGHTLY-tenderloin) on all three with the same problem. The camera does work but using the stock camera app, it seems distorted. Stretched in portrait mode and widely distorted in landscape mode. The pictures come out looking normal however. Additionally, in Skype, the person on the other end of the Skype video call sees my video from the Touchpad with a green tint. If I use other apps such as Ucam, I get the same distorted image. Other camera apps do not have a distortion issue but do not rotate correctly. Is anyone else experiencing issues such as this, am I doing something wrong? I switched to another nightly and had the same results. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Subscribed, same issue here.

They never fully implemented camera support. Its broken completely again on the latest.

Problem with using One and auto recorders like dailyroads voyager/autoguard blackbox

I just purchased the One and tried both dailyroads and autoguard black box. I notice that it gets REALLY choppy when it's dark out. This did not happen with my nexus 4.
I notice that when i'm in the htc camera app, the viewfinder is also choppy when it's dark out, but when i turn on video recording, it's smooth like butter.
It's almost like dailyvoyager and autoblackbox are recording from the camera viewfinder rather than going into the camera's recording mode to record video. Does anyone experience the same thing? Is there a fix?
Try VideoReg. I prefer it over the two you mentioned. I have noticed that often when it starts up the preview will not be automatically in focus for some reason, so go into the settings screen then back out and it works. The developer is getting a One and has a beta that makes the One's HDR video mode available. Should be some good stuff on the way in a month or two.

[Q] Extreme stutter on front camera

Anyone else experiencing this?
Back camera is fine, but on Google camera, stock camera, camera apps like Snapchat- incredibly laggy front camera. Like 1-2 fps. Video and picture mode. Tried HDR on and off. Starting a video recording will kick it back into normalcy, but as soon as it ends recording, the preview goes back into stuttering. On Snapchat, the recording is stuttered.
Im having the same issue

My back camera is great. But when it comes to using the front-facing camera its absolutely awful. A few frames per second and relatively delayed. Very grainy as well. I got much better quality on my s4....
Exactly! But then sometimes it's perfectly fine. Can't find any specific reason for it. I did notice that the stuttering improved when I was in a bright environment...? I'm perplexed. Never had anything like this happen with the S3 I was using.

I've noticed the same thing. Front camera works fine with lots of light but the FPS drops to **** as soon as it gets a bit dark. Not even too dark to see, just not super bright. I think it should be able to get fixed in a software update. Wishful thinking at least.
Wait till 5.0 drops we will probably have to just deal with it till then
On my Moto Maxx XT1225 i had the same issue.
On kitkat and even now that I'm trying soak lollipop, very very laggy
Only happens on low light conditions.

Slow Camera Capture on Whatsapp

I noticed that my Oneplus 3T camera is very slow at taking picture from Whatsapp. The camera doesn't capture instantly after I press shutter button. There is a noticeable delay after I hear the shutter sound, sometimes up to 2 or 3 seconds! I have tried same Whatsapp version on different phones and they seem to capture instantly after I hear the shutter sound.
However if I am taking picture using camera app there is no delay at all. I am experiencing this problem since the first time I am using this phone.
I am using OxygenOS, rooted, stock kernel/franco kernel (doesn't matter, happens on both kernel).
Is there anyone having this problem? Or is this a known Oxygen OS bug?

So I've updated to OOS 4.1.6 few days ago, still not getting better.

Whatsapp Camera issues following Oreo update

Hi Guys
Updated my Moto G5S Plus to Oreo 8.1 a few days ago using the commands on XDA. All is working great however I have an issues with WhatsApp, isolated with its Camera.
When I try to do Video on the Rear camera for video it seems to "zoom" in and I cannot zoom out. Its like jumping to max zoom and getting stuck.
With the front camera it seems to be VERY dark, the preview I see when recording video looks good, however when it plays back before sending its almost 100% dark, as if the light was never on?
Ive tried disabling the default camera, reinstall whatsapp all the usual stuff. I would assume if this was a widespread issue with the Whatsapp or Oreo update there would be more threads on it however I cant find anything.
Anyone else had this issue?

i have this problem too
The problem I have is that messages do not arrive unless I enter the application. The camera thing happened to me only in a couple of occasions where I recorded and it seemed that I had zoomed but it happened to me in the camera application not in wasap.

Camera can't record sound when taking video

Hi, I recently baught a tablet Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 plus. And there is a strange issue with it. After installing some communication and chat software no matter what, everything is working perfecly with microphone, Camera can record video etc. But at some point (sorry can't spot the exact problem), when I plug headphones into the tablet or something else. When try to record video from normal camera or Open camera software the sound is gone. It seems like no microphone is present or something else suppress it. Every other app is working perfectly fine (skype, viber, messenger...), every of installed applications has full capabilities for talking with and without video. Camera and microphone are working fine there. Since I reset the tablet with factory settings all goes normal and camera can again record audio without issues. But at some point camera no longer can record audio. I also tried to change some app permisssions from settings but it doesn't help. So do you have any idea what can cause the problem?
Best regards
