Camera Processing Message - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am sure there is just a feature I am not aware of that I need to turn off, I would say about 30% of the pictures I take work fine, and the other 70% say "processing" for about 2-4 seconds when you take the picture. The picture doesn't actually snap until the end of the message so if you move your phone at all you are losing whatever you were trying to take a picture of. Maybe lower the quality of the image resolution? Any suggestions?

Try lowering the resolution of the image. See if that helps.

Turn off smart stabilization?

It does not take the picture after the message disappears, it takes the photo right when you press the shutter. Just tried it out.
Changing resolution did not make a difference for me. Seems like it happens more often in low light for me.

I'm assuming that it's trying to focus then.

I read somewhere it has to do with lighting conditions. So either night mode is enable or similar. Mine does not do It, and I remember when the Indian reviews first started coming out I was concerned about that. So it's either night mode or smart stabilization, both of which are off for me
Edit: mine does do it if subject is too dark.

It's the smart stabilization/night mode dealio causing it.

Camera in app

Trying to use Wells Fargo's mobile app to deposit a check, and every time I take a picture of the check, it crops off both sides and the amount and payer's address get cut off. Any ideas? I've tried all the crop settings in the stock camera app to no avail. I'm guessing maybe because this camera takes widescreen shots, it's having some affect on this.
And how exactly do you use Zoe?
I am having the same problem on the HTC One with Wells Fargo mobile check deposit as well. Any solution?

This is something Wells Fargo would have to fix. Their app is assuming a non-widescreen ratio, when they shouldn't be. Just take the photo further out.
I agree It took me multiple attempts..I finally got it to accept it by taking a picture from two to three feet above the check

BUT! if you hit sport mode or any mode, flash wont work? wtf?

Your kidding me right? The camera is amazing, its not even comparable :what:
The quality is outstanding and the colors are just so vibrant. Completely wrecks my S3.
Well think about how would flash work with the modes that take multiple shots and/or combine them? Obviously those special settings wouldn't be optimal in low light settings where flash is necessary.

The number one reason I upgraded over my HTC Evo 4G LTE was for the better camera in the S4, specifically outdoor/daylight. And I've been testing the heck out of it. Takes spectacular pictures! I'm very happy with the camera. Sport mode works great for non-blurry images of fast moving objects, too. Flash only works in a couple of modes, but that makes sense given most of the modes it's not available in.

I found it slow at first, then i turn on Sport Mode and its pretty fast. I think it all depends on the configuration of the Mode you have ON.
Man I haven't touched the settings at all, besides in noticed that it wasn't set to 13 megapixels at first. Which I thought that was strange. But I think the camera is the best I've used so far.

Dumb question to the Op, but you did take the sticker of the lens didn't you? It comes shipped with a stupid (hard to get off) sticker on the lens with a cutout circle that partially occludes it.

The One's camera is 4mp ultra pixel. It's specifically made for low light.

You're close. The pixels are actually twice the size and the sensor itself is the same size as most 8mp and even some 13mp sensors - it only has a maximum 4mp resolution output though which makes it a 4 megapixel camera.

Which makes for great smaller pictures, but once you start blowing them up is when you start to notice it's downfall

My thing is after us finding out that the camera is not defaulted to 13 megapixels, I question the validity of any of these comparison reviews because for all we know they are shooting pictures while still on 8 megapixels
Dumb question but how do we change the mega pixels in the camera. I am struggling to find this setting.
Duh. Nvm found it.

I am going to leave some shots using HTC one default settings for you all to compare. I do agree that the only benefit HTC one camera is low light pics. Don't have any low light pics I can share.

small blue dot only on camera

hello everyone. had the one for 3 weeks now. I just noticed a very small blue dot almost at the center of my screen when taking pics or recording videos. I could only see it on camera mode though. on home screen it does not appear. ran dead pixel test and did not find anything. I been searching forums and found nothing similiar . I'm debating on returning it or is there a fix for this. I'm completely stock, unrooted for now.
Is it in your photos?
Yes. I just tried it.

At this stage, you likely won't get a refurb.
That said, it looks like your camera actually has a dead sensor. Not sure what, if anything, you can do to try to clear it up short of taking in the phone.
It obviously isn't the screen.
Ya, I am no genius on this subject by no means but that pixel would be considered stuck instead of a dead pixel. If it is on the software end of things then going through the various colorize settings in that particular camera mode and taking snapshots may release it. Maybe even a factory reset may release it back to normal.
Then again it may be a warning sign that that pixel is about to go dead too I guess. I really hope you get this cleared up for sure and I for one would be very curious as to just what is going on here. Thanks.
Edit: referring to the camera may have a dead sensor as said above, I would have thought that it would have shown that way with recording too. Maybe not though...
Thanks guys I'll try to take it back as soon as I can

My HTC One has the exact same issue but it's on the very edge of the screen so much less offensive then where yours is.
It's a hot pixel on the camera sensor that only shows up when the ISO is cranked up. For DSLR's, software (at the factory or even on camera) is used to "map out" these hot pixels. Perhaps we have something similar on our phones that can be accessed.. have you tried a hard reset?
Blue dot
Yeah I recently purchased mine but unlocked and I have the same problem, seems to happen when it is on high ISO. I was reading into the hot pixel thing which happens in other cameras, but they say they go away but can persist. I am debating to wait or exchange it, but these phones are back-ordered :/
Considering that your hot pixel is near the center of the screen, I would consider exchanging it (if possible). While it's true that they can sometimes go away on their own, my experience (with DSLR's at least) has led me to not rely on this happening (I have a few hot pixels on my DSLR that have appeared and NOT gone away in the last few years).
I have a similar problem I have a little green dot on the corner of my screen

Camera Blurry In Dark

I was at an old asylum last night on a flashlight tour and trying to take photos in the dark.
My photos came out unfocused and terrible compared to iPhone and Galaxy users when attempting the exact same shot.
Any ideas? Do I have a bad censon? I was using stock firmware as I just completed the htcdev unlock yesterday before I left for the asylum.

If it's still new, I would get it exchanged. The camera on the one has major issues, and it looks like you might have a bad camera module.
Two months old. So I can't just exchange it anymore.

Sucks dude. Then the big question is can you live with it? I would try and send it in for warranty. If you don't try and address it now, it's just going to piss you off more and more as time goes on. My opinion anyway.
True. I'll search for a guide to get it back to full stock so it doesn't say tampered.
I love this phone and I don't want to just give up on it. Done some Google searching and this seems to be a problem that's all too common.

Pretty much sums it up.
Ultrapixel is a gd gimmick. Your camera is actually better than a lot of people's.
Blurry photos in dark are because it can't see well enough to focus and if the shutter is slowing down to allow more light in, it'll blur due to movement - even from your hands shaking
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
So, I flashed a 5.5 rom and my camera was working GREAT. The flash went off the instant BEFORE the camera tried to focus and boom...no more blurry photo's.
HOWEVER, this morning (after the phone was charged 100% overnight) I was sending a text.... the phone gave off a MASSIVE vibration and then went dead. I mean dead. Completely unresponsive. Won't turn on. The LED light won't even flash when plugged in.
Traveling to PA to see if it can be "repaired".
We shall see how this goes.
Its a hardware issue/Defect. I just got mine replaced for free and purchased it in June. My new camera purple haze is gone. Unfortunately sprint sent me a effed phone with an inverted power button and no vibration. Now I got to wait another week or so for another refurb.

Screen goes berserk underwater

So I recently got to try to take pictures with my phone underwater.... But one problem I came upon is that once my screen touches the water, it goes berserk and basically exits the camera app. I know I'm suppose to use the physical camera button but I can't even do that if the phone exits the camera app. How are people able to take videos and pictures under water???

I'm not sure what else you may be expecting. The phone can't tell the difference between your finger and water. That's why there's a hardware camera button....
Also, you'll notice that if there is water on the screen and you turn the screen off then back on, it learns to ignore that water and the touch works well. Obviously this doesn't work underwater or with water constantly falling on the phone.
