Camera Issues

Hello,
I've tried to find this issue in the forums, but can't.
I have a problem with my camera on the AT&T Tilt (8925), it really slows down in low light settings. Unless it's really bright or sunny it takes horrible pictures. The preview mode jumps and skips.(I'm using the ROM it came with)
The 8525 that I had before would take pictures and video no problem in semi low light situations, but the Tilt is not even close.
Please let me know if other people are having the same problem or if you think I have a defective unit or something is wrong with the ROM.

I don't think anyone has ever had a problem with their camera in low light. It must be just your phone. I would take it back to ATT and demand a refund and a free phone for your troubles.

i agree, i think not a single person in this forum has any issue with using the camera in low light conditions. In fact, I'm pretty sure that if you look in the kaiser wiki, you will see nothing about low fps in the camera at all.

Haha, that was sweet. No one was suggesting that you check out the wiki and you totally did not get the hint that they were not hinting.

Oh, which reminds me, I was going to bring this up after I tested it as working or not.
I had a webcam that had the same problem as this phone's does.
Point being, I was going to install the latest camera software because that one (the 5.xx version) had different registry settings than the 4.xx one did. And I THINK, that there was a registry setting that defined the different increments available for the lighting scenarios.
EG: you should be able to deactivate the camera's ability to auto adjust to light, or at least increase the time before it does to some unholy number.

How can you say you couldn't find the answer? There are tons of threads and a classaction law suite (or something like that) with this problem stamped all over it.

Trackball light

Hi,
I have a crazy idea
I see that the Htc hero, is very beautiful when the trackball light is switched on ...
It's possible to leave it switched on always, and make it flash on the notifications ???

Agreed, it is pretty,... But my battery life is poor to almost none existent at the moment,... I wouldn't want it any worse!
But I reckon there are apps for that already,... I think its Handcent that has the option to make it flash more,... there must be others.

I think it would be a better idea to use the trackball light as the Nexus One mod if we can. That mean you can have multiples notifications types according to the trackball light color I don't know if the hero has a multi colors LED unside the trackball, but it would be really great too, much nicer than just let it on

Nope its a single color led

Since its an led, it would actually use very little power. It's worth a try if anyone can get it to work

it WILL make an impact on your battery life if it is light up all the time.

it would be nice to have this led to blink like nokia E52 or N78 joystik button. It looks like "breathing" (also like Apple Macbook pro led does when laptop is spleeping). I would like it

We on covedesign are currently working on such a code where you can turn on and off all the different lights on your HTC Hero. Its currently an alpha but here is a little sample, however it requires root access and it is tested on eclair/legend based roms. We will release the full source code soon when its all done.
Try it out

Front flash on Snapchat?

I've noticed the front facing cam takes terrible photos in low light, even with snapchat flooding the screen with white to take a photo. However, using the front flash in the Camera app producing excellent results. How do I make snapchat use the physical front flash?

Ok well 1. I don't even see that option, and 2. I think that would toggle the "flash" that just lights up the screen since most phones don't have a physical front LED flash like this phone does. I want to use the actual flash.

As if Snapchat would listen to their Android users thanks for your help though!

It's probably not ideal and I dont know if it will stay on if you switch apps or turn off camera, but if you open stock camera app then switch to front facing click the flash icon, you can select torch and it stays on continuously. Don't know if that may work, and if it does it's a sloppy solution...

What troubleshooting steps have you taken?
How do you know it's not as bright as it should be?
When did this start happening?
How long has it been going on?
Just saying, "this doesn't work, please help" doesn't give us any information. Imgaine taking your car to the mechanic and just saying, "my car doesn't work correctly. Fix it." Then just walking off.

I have compared my note 7 and note 8 led flash light with other phones, And yes, compared to others it seems to be less bright, but, the intensity is adecuate for the camera, the light intensity is designed to work fine with the camera's parameters it is not meant to be used as an illuminating lantern for other purposes, the important thing is to check if your dark enviroment photos using flash come out as they should

Question Camera Auto Flash Issue

I bought Mi 11 ultra yesterday and I found that in-camera app when I enable the auto-flash option and take photos in dark/night scenarios, flash doesn't work at all, even if it's complete black or pitch black, and works normally when it's enabled. I'm not sure whether it's a hardware issue (I hope not) but I started to feel a little concerned about this issue.

If you turn on lantern do they light up?

Doesn't work, it shows Night3S when there's dark and takes up to 3 secs to click a picture without flash.

LOL, this thread and responses are a joke. Before starting a thread about help for some app, you should at least first check settings of that app for a solution. Just go to camera settings and disable "Enhance image quality". It says in description that in low light conditions it will turn on night mode if that option is enabled and that is what you do not want, you want normal capture with flash light. Yes, you can argue that this design is not logical, but that is MIUI for you. Still, no excuse for not checking settings.

Firstly, you can be a little more respectful when you're actually trying to help someone and not joke about it because it can happen to anyone.
Secondly, normal capture with auto-flash still doesn't work even after disabling the "enhance image quality" option in camera settings. I don't know if it doesn't work the way it should then IDK why that option is still there in the camera.

When it is easy solution, jokes are with justification.
And normal capture with auto flash works when you disable "enhance image quality". Just tested it myself. Flash turns on in low light scenes only. Try to cover your camera with hand to make it pitch black. It should display yellow flash icon that tells you that it will turn on flash when capturing that scene.

Like I said earlier, It isn't working for me I tried covering by hand and in the complete pitch black room with no light at all. I'm talking about the icon which displays flash with the letter 'A' beside it.

It's kinda weird but yeah I tried.

Most covers protect also the camera lenses and might also cover the sensor or at least disturb it.

in the worst case scenario, backup everything and do a factory reset. then you can be sure which is the issue to your camera.

I have noticed one thing, when I switch to 5x then auto flash works and it also works in dual camera mode but doesn't work in 1x or normal capture mode.
