Samsung Vibrant Camera Firmware Update, Direct From Samsung...

I don't think I've actually seen this floating around anywhere, so I figured I'd share. Its the Camera Firmware updater from Samsung. I've had mixed results with its use on different firmwares. My only issue being FCing on an older Bionix build, as well as a few older Voodoo builds. I've had little to no problems with more recent voodoo builds, just used it on Trigger 2.9.2 with no problems, I've even used it on a phone running Gingerbread without issue. Yes I play with allot of phones...

Downloading now.. will test on stock and modded FFC version and report back.

Said I had the lastest version and then automatically gave me the option to uninstall

anything noticeably different on this over the standard stock FW?
I have an FFC so I doubt it's worth my time to test if there's no FFC support...

Does anyone know what this firmware is supposed to update?

no idea however if you go into settings on the camera app, then go to firmware, then click on the second option firmware update
its downloadin and updating now on my phone i can report back later

I do not see any appreciable difference. granted i do not have an ffc so i cant comment on that. If you arent having any problems with your camera id say leave it alone.

Got this from Samsung apps. Nothing at all noticeable. Switched to captivate camera apk

Anyone with a FFC (2nd gen) comment on this?

I've just installed it and tested it with the ffc (1st gen). There is not much different in my opinion. There seems to be a little less banding in low light condition and that's about it. 720p recording works well. I will test it with the 2nd gen camera tonight when I get home.

I have tested the new firmware on FFC v2. Its having different issues with the camera. When I record on 720p I get a white screen. Its recording but I see nothing. Once I stop it crashes. I than go to gallery and my recording its there @ 720p or at least it seems that way.
I have been testing with different camera.apk files... some be have differently than others. All for the worst I am afraid so

I install the file.
Using Bionix-V 1.3.1
When I open the file it tells me I am running the latest firmware.
It didnt do anything for me.
Edit:
Which camera apk are you using?
Edit Again: Now it just reboots in 720p
Another Edit wtf!: lol ok If I set the permissions on the filr to -r- only the file crashes. If I set them to rwx-rwx- it gives me the white screen while it records.
Any ideas?

I got my update right now through the camera app and it takes about a few minutes to update. Required for me to reboot. Really don't notice a difference but the annoying message of you need to update do you want to continue is gone now.

[Q] Big Camera problem - Xperia V

Hi!
Camera in my Xperia V does not work properly. It can take pictures only in sunny day, in the dark does not turn on. I tested all the official systems (including 4.0.4 4.1.2 4.3) and CM11, everywhere the same bug. In the pictures , where a very strong light, purple stripes are visible (see the Attached Thumbnails). I thought it was hardware damaged, so I bought the camera, but unfortunately nothing changed
So anybody has idea what is wrong?

Unfortunately no.
Interesting is the fact, torch turns on using flashlight applications from google play, but each of them get freezy and FC after 1-2 min. When I turn on the default application for torch in custom ROM (like Carbon, Lovins) everything is ok.

Try flashing stock 4.1.2 firmware using flashtool and do a complete wipe during the install (tick all three boxes on the right side: data, cache and something which I don't remember the name of). You might've messed something up when flashing custom roms and flashing back the stock one should fix it. Also check if your camera lens is scratched/cracked. If none of that helps. I'm afraid it's a hardware fault then. :/
Btw: I remember people talking about the camera bug which you have in 1st picture in some 4.3 rom (not the latest one). But it's the first time I've seen a bug like you have in 2nd picture.

Camera lens look perfect on both camera modules. I am surprised that after the exchange of the camera is the same problem.
I'll try flash tomorrow or later (you know, New Year) and and I'll answer.
Thanks for your support and Happy New Year :highfive:

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped
Flashing to stock 4.1.2 via flashtool nothing has changed. In a small service near me, they said that the fault of the driver on the motherboard, and there's nothing they will do.
I'm sad, because photos in the sun and underwater is doing great.
 @finac94 Thanks for trying me solve this problem

Green line photos and camera freezing!!!

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I've searched and can't seem to find this issue anywhere so am in need of help.
Issue:
Open camera (stock) on the P9 and take photo, shows up in the gallery box in corner, if I exit camera photo is fine. The problem arises if I then try to take another photo straight after the first i.e. person didn't smile the camera won't take a photo and when I exit and re-enter camera (or gallery) the photo is just green lines.
I've played around with settings and changed memory card but am still getting the same issue, is there something I'm not doing setting wise or is it a fault with the camera?
Thanks in advance.

You mean like the one below? I've had it happen to me a few times - primarily during low light shots. If I exit the camera app and come back, the next set of photos then seem to be fine.
I think it's a software problem - I recollect seeing a change log for build 136 which indicated there was a fix for it. I'll try to find the log and post the relevant details.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes exactly like that one, however it's during any kind of shot not just low light ones. I have had the problem since I had the phone and initially the problem did go away if I exited the app and came back but now it's every time, the only way to not have that happen to the photos is if I exit and renter after every photo - which kind of spoils the spontaneity.
Thanks I'd appreciate that.

Here's an image showing the relevant content for the B136 update.

Thanks for that, I've tried downloading the B136 about 5 times now, from different locations and following different instructions, unfortunately it either fails or once downloaded the extraction fails or the software install fails.

Just to say thanks again, I downloaded it to PC and copied it across instead and it's updated and solved the issue.

Glad to hear that 136 fixed your issue. What version of the P9 do you have? And what build have you downloaded?
I'm on the 134 build for my P9 L-09 - still waiting for the update for my geo (C636).

P20 Pro Camera app version

Hello everyone, I created this thread to help anyone that wants to update the camera app version through apk,
Thanks to an user from this forum I found it, camera version 305 to 312, if you have a newer version of this camera's app you can contribute with this thread sharing the new release, thanks
Enjoy https://mega.nz/#!JRIzHCiR!NJNfCfI5_IJ418EWO0kNQrI7UyJ8mrcEOw_l3uLcaxM

Thanks big time!
just need to know should i need to place the other arm folder somewhere or not as i cant find the document scan option within the camera app after updating and it says in the more tab that its already downloaded

That's happened in my camera app too, maybe you can try to move the add-ons from /data/camera folder I didnt try for now,

Hello, can you please tell me how to use these files? In the Android/data folder I can only see "com.huawei.camera" folder and inside it there is a folder called "files" and inside that one is "cameraplugins". Do I copy the folder from your archive into "cameraplugins"?

its simple dont panic, just go toCamera app info and click the 3 dots in the top right corner, then click unistalls app updates, and its back to the older version.

Can anyone please tell me what's the difference between the current ( EMUI 9.1) camera version and this one? Does it offer 50x zo etc?

Only 10x zoom max with last fw. Apparently they only let the same camera do 30x zoom on the Mate 20 series. Probably artificial limitation to make the newer phone more appealing...

Someone knows what's more in the version 9.1.0.319 and 9.1.0.323

I'm in 9.1.328 os version and I have the 318 camera version.
Sent from my CLT-L29 using Tapatalk

Need to tell you all I`ve got CLT-L29 with 9.1.0.328 - and the camera got Terrible! Night-mode is atrocious, and day-time shooting worsened. Night mode now makes flat, ugly, no-life-basic photos (doesn`t matter if vivid or whatever colour mode is used), day-time pictures are dark, with worse dynamic range then before. I tried everything to go back to previous version - not possible in my experience. If anyone succeeded in downgrading the camera app version, or installing an older one, PLEASE let me know how. My phone is not rooted - cant find a way to unlock the bootloader. (I read about a possible way with disassembling the phone, but I wouldn`t do that to it).
Cheers,
P.S. - If you have a P20 Pro with older android version - do not update! - it will destroy your camera (basically the only thing you bought the phone for).

I have no issue with 328 firmware emui 9.1 and the cam, how I am in 345 firmware with a new version of camera app, working fine, you can make a factory reset or simply reset the camera app settings

You haven`t noticed. They made it gradually worse - with 8.1 it was so much better in regards of color depth, dynamic range, contrast setting, night mode contrast, light sensitivity - everything, by the time they made 9.1... it is nothing of the kind. BTW this issue is noted, A1 representative I spoke to, said Huawei were "aware" of the night-mode problem, and "wold fix it" in the next generation of updates. But I as a very keen photo-maniac, who bought this phone precisely for the camera, noticed it getting worse by every update, so I don`t truly believe they will fix it. When with 8.1 p20pro was hands down the low-light monster and had outstanding color depth, which the p30pro couldn`t reach because it lacks the monochrome camera (same goes for the nigh-mode). So even if they do something about the night-mode in future updates, for it would be made so that the camera will be smudged to produce p30pro-like (but blurrier) photos.
Otherwise - I made factory reset, probably 10 times since then, even found a way to delete the camera app with adb run tool, installed the latest version from apk-mirror - still the same (of course). Then I factory reset the phone again and again and again...
So please, when citing me, please cite me only if you found a way to answer my query and you personally managed to install a workingly-run 8.1 camera version, please. Thank you so much for your understanding and willingness to help!
Cheers!

My camera is ok too. I use night mode even during the day, sometimes, for the dramatic effect.

Interesting. What is your p20p model: C432 or C7..?

I answer you in the right way with the typical issues with the software and the cam, I don't care how many times you made factory reset, I see improvements in the cam with emui9.1, maybe your cam or phone is damage, or whatever,

Hi,
I'm new to this community anyone got problem on camera of V40 at Android 10? seems mine when I open it freeze for 10-15seconds then its fine but when I change to video the camera freeze again. But switching to front cam doesnt have the issue. Any solutions for this? btw my version is LM-V409N (korean variant) and I tried clearing cache, data, reset app preferences even factory reset.

Just checked and no problem, the stock camera app opens and is ready in less than a second. The current rom I have on my (originally) at&t model is the korean open 409N also.
Maybe check the lg sites for a newer (or even older) version of the camera app? If it's not the app, and everything is pretty much stock, it may unfortunately be a hardware issue...

Hello, any reference where and what exactly firmware I needed? I mean I am fine on downgrading to pie but didn't know the process of doing it. Btw here's the image of my version of my V40

I think you've misunderstood. I'm not suggesting you change the firmware (I have the exact same firmware you do (well I have 30d and u have 30e - a security update), and no problem with camera app).
I was suggesting you try a different version of the CAMERA APP. LG makes changes to the camera app and makes the *.apk available to download, you'll have to search for LG camera app to find it.
It does seem very unusual you'd be experiencing such a lag when opening the camera app though. You'd almost have to bet that something else you've installed (not stock) that is causing the delay.

Well, in the interest of helping you narrow it down, I can tell you I just used lgup to install the latest korean open kdz (the one you're on, 30e). My camera app opens as it always has with other roms, in less than a second.
so, anyway, I think you can rule out it being anything to do with the specific rom...

thank you currently downgraded to pie but seems the problem exist. It's a camera hardware fault.

I had a verizon V40 and the camera went to crap with the A10 upgrade. Viewfinder was laggy, very similar to what you describe. Also, I think it was telephoto that would show parallel lines across any bright \ white objects. This was a stock rom, stock cam app, and the problem continued after multiple factory resets. Found it hard to believe it was a hardware issue, as it happened immediately after the A10 upgrade. I second year promised the phone...while I did get a brand new phone, it was the US unlocked version. So, as you know, that means no advanced calling (video) within the verizon dialer app and no vvmail.

Found that this GCam mod works. Install the app, then copy the XML (you have to remove the ".txt" at the end, xda wont let me upload it otherwise) to "/internal storage/GCam/Configs/" (make the folders) and then open the app, double-tap the black space to the right of the shutter button, then choose "restore". The app should then work perfectly, with all the cameras available, and no lag in the viewfinder.

hello the problem is solved by replacing the camera. its a hardware fault
