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

There is no way to get the original resolution on the camera after unlocking the bootloader?
I mean, after u unlock the bootloader, the photos that u take are not the same photos that u taked before, the photos have a really bad quality
so i cant take the same photos that i taked after i unlocked the bootloader? (i really lose all the point of the 20,7mp camera, cause a 2 mp camera take better photos than my z1 camera, i relocked the bootloader with the backup ta, and the camera is the same, cant get the same quality that i have after i unlocked it) (and no, nobody says that unlocking the bootloader will make your camera to have a really bad quality, the same happens with z2 and z3)

Disable Stamina Mode - it happens only when in Stamina. Or press Power Button before pressing Camera Button. That way it will wake phone from Stamina Mode and then it shouldn't freeze on taking pictures.

Rubbish. I don't use Stamina mode and mine still does it almost every time I try and use the camera.
Same here, started happening recently with no identifiable cause. I don't use Stamina mode either.
I'm using a custom rom freeze after 10 minutes of filming
yesterday my AR effect didnt want to capture picture, after reboot it was working fine.
I think there is something messed up in memory "cache" when you use a phone lot of time without shutdown or restart.

Hi i have the same problem with my z1's camera. Whenever i reboot my phone most of the apps crash, the camera will freeze and i cant open my album, im also having issues transfering files to sd card from internal memory. I really love this phone so i really need help about this, dunno what happend because it used to run perfectly.
Same problem here, Occurred today.
After restarting phone, camera works perfectly again
I have no idea what to do.
Best to provide a logcat or something that can help fix your issues. Use 'adb logcat > filename.txt' or google if you don't know how to logcat
☺
Hi, i Google logcat and i cant understand what it's for.. Im confused.. ? can you explain a bit about logcat.. If it's okay with you..
camera totally freeze...
Im using c6903 14.4.a.0.157 rooted... Before i root my phone, my stock camera was working fine. But after i root it, it just freeze every time i take picture. But when im using 3rd prty apps it works although it'll take me 5-10 secs before it take picture... I've been searching all over the web for a fix but cant find any.... Hope someone can help,me out here... TIA...
this problem appeared first on android kitkat, so if you want perfect camera, you have to go back to .290 jelly bean.
in kitkat it appears often on .757 but it got a lot better on .108 and later.
this freeze is caused by a wrong memory managment. if you choose the internal memory instead of external sd card, you camera wont freeze
P.S with .157 this problem should be fixed

Well thats a very common problem with 108.. The same was happening with me when i had 108.. All you need to do is update to 157. Even if you see the changelog for 157 it clearly states improvements in the camera.. Believe me this is what you need to do. Hope this helps
if i am not wrong , this problem has been fixed in .157. When i was on .108 stock , i had issues when i opened the camera from lock screen or using the camera button.
But after .157, i no longer face any issues when i open the camera from lock screen. sadly, the camera button still sometimes causes the problem u described above......

Understanding what one loses when switching from stock to AOSP

Hi there. A friend I'm helping out with has a Z3 Compact. She doesn't like a bunch of the bloat that comes with the stock experience. I was thinking of helping her install AOSP on the device, but have heard around the water cooler that you do lose more than just the stock bloat ware. So far it sounds like the main big points that are lost are...
- Better camera for night time shots
- Better over all power management/saving
Is there anything I'm missing?
Beyond that, I'm wondering if there's a prebuilt AOSP based rom that has the camera and possibly the power management stuff rolled into it?
Thanks!
Basically if you want to switch to AOSP, you have to unlock the bootloader. When unlocking, it's recommended to backup .ta partition (so you can restore it when locking the bootloader to get back all the functions that will be lost when unlocking), because during the unlock process, you erase DRM data and that means (as far as I remember): no location sharing on stock SMS app, no xreality, no warranty and also I've heard that the camera possibilities are much more limited than on locked bootloader... and maybe there are more things that you lose because of unlocking BL.
I'd recommend disabling all the bloatware that disturbs her. Well, you won't be able to disable all of them, some has "Disable" button greyed out but most of the bloatware CAN be disabled. Also I'd recommend flashing stock, non-branded ROM.
All my previous Xperias had unlocked bootloaders but now my new Z3 Compact has it locked and I'm definitely NOT planning to unlock it. There's too much to lose after unlocking BL, that's my opinion.
The biggest thing for me that brought me back to a stock (de-bloated) ROM was the camera. Quality is so poor. It's really night and day difference. Even worse, the camera relies on AOSP services and you end up with a "fish-eye" distortion. Photos with anything vertical look like they are curved and that's something i simply cannot live with. Quality of photos, maybe. Distorted photos, nope. If this were to be fixed.... I'd be right back to AOSP.

Need Your Help!!!

Hey Guys, I have a question.
I had no idea about DRM key loss and its results untill I unlocked my c6603
Now everything seems OK except camera. When I take picture, they too noisy.
Quality doesn't satisfy me. Do you know any solution to increase the picture quality?
P.S DRM restore tool doesn't seem to work for me(

if you had backed up your TA partition just before you unlock bootloader for first time ,then you could restore that backup using TA backup/restore tool and get your DRM keys back, this is the only way to re-enable sony noise reduction system.
but for picture quality you can use 3rd party apps in market like camera fv-5 but don't expect miracles.
press thanks if you find this helpfull.

How to fix camera after root?

I rooted my Xperia XZ1 compact. Now the camera is very grainy. How can this be fixed? I didn't backup DRM keys before rooting.
You can't. You lose some camera features after you root without restoring the DRM keys.
I've also rooted the phone but didn't do any backups of anything. I've noticed no difference in the camera quality before/after rooting. What did I lose? I've also read about photos turning green or something, what is that? What are DRM keys?

You will have lost some quality in your photos and lost access to certain features. What does your service menu/security screen look like? https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-android-pie-unlock-bootloader-drm-fix-camera/

What are losted after unlocking bootloader?

Hello all,
I know unlocking the bootloader will lost some functionalities but what are losted is a bit vague. Some say the camera will green screen and some say it won't. I'm very confused.
I specifically want to know if unlocking the bootloader will affect screen quality, e.g. color accuracy, white balance, HDR.
I also found out the TA partion can be backed up but had anyone able to restore it after?
Thanks in advance.
