[Q] Camera SCN gone! - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Sorry for the noob question but when I first turned on my brand new Z1, in manual camera mode there was a button SCN, for scene selection and HDR selection, ect.
After that, I updated both the camera software, and phone firmware to .257 and since I updated it, I don't seem to find the SCN option in the camera app anywhere.
Does anyone know if it was moved somwhere else, or the update wasn't done right?
Thanks

Official ICS User thread/Bug thread

Edit: MOD - close this thread. There's no point of this thread if people are going to start a sh*tload of threads anyway.
To start -
it is definietly faster than GB.
But there are some missteps
1. Camera does not have manual/touch focus anymore. There is just Automatic and Face tracking.
2. Moving cursor gesture (double tap on side) is not present there. It is insanely stupid move on LG part to remove by far the most useful gesture.

Agreed, if you compare stock ROMs. For example, Gueste Good-Bye and DM are definitely zippier than this, so I am hoping for some good custom stock-based ROMs to improve on performance. Bottom line is that for me the current ICS release is very usable as a daily driver.

Actually, Touch focus works in Auto mode.

I can confirm what kt-froggy said, it does work in auto mode.
Please look at what I posted in this topic. Also, I suggest closing this, its basically a duplicate of that anyway.

I am not having any problems with the stock ICS ROM, in fact every of the above mentioned features work for me. You can actually change the focus yourself while you are using Auto focus mode, the camera app also comes with possibilitiess to adjust the ISO value and white balancing. Wi-Fi works for me good as well, i am not having any problems and i must say the battery life of the O2X has been increased a lot with this update.

I am able to change the notification sound, just go to Settings --> Sounds either Volumes to adjust the actual volume of the notification sound or scroll down to Notification sound, you can choose between the same sounds LG provided on GB (a pity)

What is exact problem? Do your phone scan networks nearby or does it completely nothing?

Does your phone goes into deep sleep or does it just lock itself? Weirdly enough I am not experiencing any problems. I know that the update is not available yet in The Netherlands, so how did you flash this ROM?
Good rom

[Q] Galaxy Note n7000 camera problem.

I had a problem with my galaxy note n7000. The problem is on camera.
When using the camera in the dark flash turned on but when the picture is taken turns off right before the picture is taken. And leaving me with a dark picture. So I think the problem is on timing of flash.
??? Does anyone know, how to fix this problem?
is the phone rooted? you can try using the camera with an app like camerazoom fx.

I have tried !! Till now no luck.
Is there any application to switch lower microphone to upper one.

Is the phone rooted? Go to google play and download the app camerazoom fx. And then use the camera with that app. I do not know of any application for doing the microphone sswap

Try to use the option of torch flash (a type where the flash will be perpetually on) try such options. Is the phone rooted...answer this question!)

yes I have rooted. (I have told it on my second post)
On torch flash it works but it keeps flash ON until photo is taken. On any other option it didn't work.
I want to make it work on other options like auto, or flash ON option. Any idea?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Well u can try reinstalling the camera.apk in the /system folder. Else if the torch flash works well it's ok isn't it?

if there is no other option than flash torch than it is also enough. but I have noticed that on flash torch the flash is not much brighter...
AND one more question
will camera flash problem be fixed if I buy and replace camera?
thank you Varad297 for your help
Well it's true that torch flash isn't that bright. And i don't think a new camera can do it. But if your phone falls in warranty then you surely can unroot and send it to samsung service. Looks more of a software problem, and also a quite unique one too! Suggest u to private message some if the experts at xda for better help.

[Q] How to start camera app in manual mode instead in superior auto?

Hey
I looked into previous threads and didn't found a good solution to this problem.
Is ther any solution?
I have rooted c6903 with 4.4.2 and looked-bootloader.
thnks
from wat i tested out. the only way is to open the camera app through the homescreen. but provided previously it is in manual mode.
if u dont want it to switch to superior auto, than make sure u dont press the camera key button when screen is not locked.

The HW Button can be remapped and it's a common Mod on Android but it's not yet developed for Z1 as the functionality do not gain many users and request are small.
Somehow maybe it can be done, but I an not aware about that at the moment.

[Q] Manual focus app

Hello!
Anyone knows if it's possible to control the focus of the camera manually? Even in another camera app?
Thanks!

Try to tick something in settings, i don't remember right now and don't have the phone at my office to see where to set up this.
@R_a_z_v_a_n maybe you were thinking about zoom option, I do not remember that I saw manual focus on our phone. BTW if you guys find out I am curious to know.

I tried everything, but it just crashes. I even tried deleting the app's data.
This helped for me. Try to hold on the app and run one of the function: "Make selfie" or "Record the video" after that camera will work, but sometimes when i launch camera on the common mode, i have a black screen again.
How good is it? Care to share some side-by-side photos? (stock -> google camera)?
Does it enable cameraapi2?
Thanks in advance

In the other thread there are several comparison pics. I doubt you can get it working without canera2 api which needs root to enable. Without HDR+, whats the point of having gcam?

camera 2 api doesnt need root. just needs an unlocked bootloader. I would be better if we spam tweets to mi to unlock camera 2 api with next update as nokia 6.1 plus has it enabled out of the box.

Would be great to have. Also with a change of the raw image mode to get rid of focus dots as well.
