Google Camera bug. - Moto X Q&A

Do you have problems when using Lens Blur? When I try to take a picture there's always an error that says that I move the device too fast. Do you have it too?

I do not get that error.

I tried lens blur on the Google camera a couple of times, I also got that error, with a few attempts and going slowly it worked some, I don't think I've tried it since the update(s)

[Q] alternative camera app

So based on you're experience which camera app would you suggest? I am kind of shocked to find that the camera app is so slow. My Blackberry Q10 is very quick compared to my Turbo.

I really like the Google camera app.

Unfortunately on the turbo it still does have some lag. Hopefully that will be fixed with future OTA updates.
The main thing I like about Google's app is the option to take photosphere images and panoramas. I know the stock camera app does panoramas but Google's app allows for much higher quality images.
I have taken some really awesome images using this app.
Lenovo Supercamera is great. Adds lots of effects and options, more so than stock camera on S5

Thanks! I tried installing but it wouldn't connect to the camera. Which version did you install to get it to work?

Latest, 3.6.7 with permissions removed. Definitely works for me. Maybe restart too - sometimes it seems like camera apps can lock another out.

Ahhhh.... I was going down to the second post and installing the other camera. Nice!! Going to have to play around with it more tomorrow. Thanks again!!!
Thanks to everyone who posted. I actually really like both of those options and will probably use both. Anyone ever try any fisheye lenses?

Do you see this as well on your install?
Yes, those resolutions are correct for the Turbo camera (even though they say a lower MP).
The 5248x3936 is the same as the full 21mp (Standard) mode, and the 5248 x 2952 is the same as the 15.5mp (Widescreen) mode. Assuming that this is what your asking?
Exactly what i was asking. I figured it was cosmetic. Just wanted to be sure.
I will the first update might have sped up my camera. When I left the store it was slow, as I read about. Next day I searched for updates and got one. My camera is normal now. The only issue I notice is swiping to pictures from the camera, it swipes right away, then the screen "blinks" real fast. Might try a different camera to compare though.

Maybe I'm crazy but this seems to speed the shutter up a bit.

Perhaps more tinkering in the ladybug settings could help, or the ability to reduce mp size further?
Let me know what works for you all!

Yep, other than the resolution displaying wrong it worked good too. I ended up installing the moto camera+ and taking a bunch of samples to compare the two, found it to not take any better pics than the moto camera + with the settings unlocked.

[Q] Does the L Camera, or camera2 api, work on the Nexus 6?

It would seem silly if not, but I haven't seen confirmation. I've just seen that it works on the Nexus 5 and not on the Nexus 4.

No problem, I'm still looking for a decent camera app as well. I wish I could use the stock LG one from my G3 on here but I don't think it will work.
Did you try L camera too ?
His git is here go into it and download the app
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/
Hit view code and scroll down it's Lcamera-debug just updated today

It opens and I can take pictures but it crashed after that. I tried to mess with the settings in the app but then it crashed again.
I want to use the moto x 2014 camera app but I need root to install it. It fails to install normally, are there any other good alternatives to a basic camera app like the moto one or the LG ?

There's no option for it as of right now. Also the photos look a little worse than the stock camera app when I compared them. The app has potential if you can edit the photos saved as a RAW format.

I see by the pics that there are a number of options that end in x60. Is that frame rate? What do the videos look like when you use those? The assumption is that the playback is still going to do 30 fps and if shot at 60fps then the playback would be slo-mo.
Also what are the grayed out options and the blue options, if you know?

In assuming that is the frame rate.
Blue is my selected option, grayed out are ones that I can't click (don't work on my phone)

Note 9 Camera lag/freezing

I have been having issues with the camera freezing/lagging on my note 9. It happens often, for example I open to take a photo and on the screen it freezes and I have to wait sometimes force close to get it to work, it happens while recording video too. I haven't seen anything online about this yet so maybe just my device.
Anyone, have this issue?
Others found by going to another launcher such as Nova their frame drops and freezing stopped.

My husband has been having the same issue. We tried clearing the camera cache and rebooting and it stopped for a while, but resurfaced. 512gb us T-Mobile blue. No sd card installed.
Are you saying using Nova launcher helps? Or it's causing issues? I'm not sure why that would cause the issue. I got a replacement from Verizon and it was doing it on the new one before I even downloaded any apps. Seems to be a issue that no one else has noticed or maybe I got the only 2 phones with the issue.
On a side note, where did all the other camera modes disappear to? Gif mode, etc... On note 8 you could swipe left for many more modes.

They said using another launcher such as Nova stopped their frame drops, hang ups. They were thinking it had something to do with Samsung's skin. To them once they used another launcher all their issues with it were gone. May not help your issue but worth the try..

Are your pic and video saving to the SD card? If so, it might be your SD card. Try internal memory to see if it makes a difference.

I use Nova and I had the camera temporarily freeze a couple of times today. The issue is with the camera software most likely. No SD card
I can confirm no sd card in ours either and also on Nova.

We just encountered a "Warning: Camera failed" also.... Just cleared the camera app data/cache and cleared the system cache. We'll see if it happens again.

Sorry to hear this. That's not good. Hopefully if this is widespread Samsung can do a software update that will fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am running an SD card though I have already tried it without. I have also got a replacement phone and it does it on that too. Sometimes it just freezes without taking a photo just on the screen as the viewfinder. Also, the camera freezes within apps most notably for me in WhatsApp and the front flash goes off but the picture is still dark. So far this phone is definitely sub par out the gate.
Same experience here. One working with no issues, the other without an sd card with freezing/camera failures.
I have the same issue with Camera lag or freezing. It doesn't always happen, but it happens enough to be annoying. I am on Verizon with 128gb. So not sure what's the problem here.. Is this a Camera issue? Since not a lot of people are reporting the issue it seems..
I was taking pictures earlier and noticed this too.
It lagged that the flash and shutter was out of sync. Got a nice white out picture.
Verizon, 512gb. Save to internal memory.

Same thing was happening to me. I just replaced it with a 128gb one from verizon today. SO far it seems a lot better and smoother. Not sure if it is the 512gb ones that are the issue or just a random thing with some
Mine freezes up before even recording/taking photos. I'm on smart launcher.

issues with Camera at Zoom

I have included a photo to show what I mean. But blocked out the personal parts. I was at a wedding yesterday and when using zoom the camera was buzzing/humming on the back of the phone. And was getting a wavey effect on the pictures and wavey effect moving around while trying to take the pictures. I also had weird colour mismatches which I'm not sure was because of the lighting from fireworks but never had this issue before when I have taken photos of fireworks before. It happened over alot of the photos but have only included these.
Also this has happened before when taken photos on holiday aswell but don't take a lot of photos so only noticed it a few times not just yesterday. Thanks

I've had this problem for a while and finally got around to doing something about it. I sure didn't have to look far to find a thread describing the problem. I'm hoping to get a warranty replacement before the next Note comes out, if there is no fix.
Please provide more info... Custom ROM? or Stock? Are you rooted? or not?... If you are on stock... Did you try to clear data of your Camera App through settings? and as a last resort.... Did you try to factory reset your device? ... just saying.. I might help and Others will help if those information are available in the main post

Note9 Camera Focus Issue

Hello,
So lately I've been having issues with my rear camera, I can't get it to focus no matter what I try. I've attempted to clear cache, reset the phone entirely, try different camera apps, basically everything I can think of, to no results.
I'm updated to the September 1 security patch, with hardware version 1.1, on Verizon.
Any ideas?
Are you referring to focusing in general or only when you use the live focus feature?
