Selective focus file issues - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was playing around with the camera today and took a couple of photos using selective focus. When I view the files in the gallery, there is an icon on the photo showing that it is a selective focus photo. If I click on that icon, I get an error message that says "all actions associated with this action have been turned off, blocked, or disabled. I have disabled some packages, but didn't think I blocked anything that should affect this. Can someone let me know what happens when they click on the icon for a selective focus photo? Thanks in advance.

You disabled com.sec.Android.ofviewer (out of focus viewer). Re-enable it.

Stop highlighting my photos!!!!

I cant get the phone to stop automatically selecting photos it deems highlights from any album on my phone.
I uncheck the highlight from custome albun it was moved to, delete it from highlights album... Within the hour the phone has added it back in.
Please God someone help... This is a GIANT PRIVACY ISSUE

If I'm correct it highlights the pictures you click on (view) the most it's not a privacy issue since it doesn't even transmit the data to HTC or anyone else. It happens to me too from time to time.
So a highly connected device moving files from a protected location to a shared location by itself is not a privacy issue?

It doesn't move the location of the picture, it just links it to a folder in the gallery for quick viewing access. That's all.

I see what big is talking about though. If someone is looking at his phone, someone might see pictures they weren't intended to see that would otherwise be hidden from view.

Then un highlight them? If you say it keeps highlighting photos you don't want to be highlighted then it'd probably be a good idea to go into settings>apps>all>media storage and clear the data from it, as well as the gallery app. Then do a reboot and let the gallery settle
This also drives me crazy. I'm constantly un-highlighting my photos and there's no way to turn that feature off

Then hide the highlighted album?

BTW I completely deleted the highlights album. 2 days later it had rebuilt itself, and pulled photos on my phone again from wherever it liked.
WHAT IDIOT DEVELOPER wrote this code?

This.
I did this on my first day. In the settings of the gallery app, go to hide albums, and check the albums you want to hide.
This is actually a cool feature and it's even cooler that you can opt out of it. I see no privacy concerns at all. If someone is looking at your pics, your entire gallery is there for them to flick through.... unless you are seriously concerned with someone knowing which pictures you look at most frequently... in that case, don't let people get to your phone.
EDIT: I just realized how angry my post sounded... that was not intentional. I hope I didn't come off as a jerk!
Does the highlight album take up storage space?
This is a privacy issue...My highlighted photos go up on Twitter. I don't even post any personal pics on Twitter, or face book.
I'm very pissed with this auto feature. If I wanted someone to see them I'd post them.
How do u permanently turn it off. ????

[Q] Keep the LED on for taking pictures??

Alright, so I can't find the answer to my question anywhere so I am posting here.
Is there anyway to keep the LED light on for taking pictures? I hate how the LED only turns on when the picture is actually being taken because the pictures are always out of focus or over exposed. I would like to either have a way to keep the flashlight running in the background with the camera on or some other kind of mod to do essentially the same thing.
I am on rooted 4.3 with S-off. If you need any more details, let me know!
EDIT: Alright, I found a flashlight app that keeps the flashlight on without being in the app or the screen being on. The problem, however, is that if it is on, the camera app says "Unable to start camera" when I try to open it. Perhaps the stock camera app needs a mod to allow the LED to be on when launched?

You could always start videorecording and keep the flash on during the entire recording. Meanwhile you can tap the photo button to take pictures. Delete the videoclip afterwards. Thats the only way I think. Or maybe with an app, but I have no clue which one would suit your needs.

While that would work if I really needed it, the pictures would be 1920x1080 instead of the 4mp. I'm really looking for an app or mod to allow the flashlight to stay on without the app being open.

Virtual Tour Shot Camera Mode

Anyone have any idea how to use this? When I select this mode, I get the pop up window that explains what it is and the message at the bottom to align the circle with the pointer, but the screen shows a blue dot inside the white circle no matter where I'm pointing, which orientation I'm holding the phone and there's no option to activate the camera....it's grayed out, and the settings are for the video only. I can tap on the video button, but then it just records video.
Anyone have any idea how to actually use this mode?
Follow the information on the screen. It'll tell you what to do. The dot will be your focal point and the Circle will eventually pop up. You'll need to go either left or right or straight.

The circle doesn't do anything. I have it pointing down a hall way and nothing happens. ..
once you start panning or moving forward a new circle shows up, you just match the dot to the new circle, very simple
Is it supposed to automatically just detect the "scene" and start? Are there some other settings that, when activated, disable this functionality? Do you have to activate the first shot by hitting the camera button (because if so, mine doesn't let me tap on it).

I swear I tried that! I started walking down the hallway, and there are doors visible that are open along the hallway, and NOTHING happens... :crying::crying::crying: I WANT THIS FEATURE TO WORK! LOL
Here, watch a video of me TRYING to get it to work....any ideas? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105678/MOV_0040.mp4
Ok, after 30 mins with Samsung tech support and then booting up into Safe Mode, we determined that there's some 3rd party app that may be inhibiting the VT Shot function, because it DID work in Safe Mode. I even uninstalled the google camera app.....Although that didn't seem to be the issue.....with this in mind, and knowing that this phone is not rooted, what's the best approach to help identify which app could be the culprit here? I don't want to wholesale factory reset and slowly add one app at a time....any ideas?

SOLVED! I FIGURED OUT THE CULPRIT! On my old S4, I was using the app "Moves" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protogeo.moves) which was a Pedometer app. But now that S Health is so integrated with the phone, I actually don't need it, so when I removed it, Virtual Tour Shot cam mode started working. Makes sense that the app would interfere with the motion sensor.....

i bet you feel soooooooo relieved. its one of the best feelings in the world to go through meticulous trial and error and finally find the problem. congrats i really know how you feel haha
For sure! Especially because this is my first Android device which I have NOT rooted (victim of circumstance, not elective), so I knew it wasn't because of some weird rooted circumventing process. On the plus side, with s health's built-in pedometer setting, there's no need for Moves anymore.

I can't find my raw photos

I have the rear camera set to Save RAW and JPEG files. I also have the camera app set to save to SD card. However, when I take a picture, I only get a JGP. I've looked in the DCIM subdirectories on both the SD card and Internal memory. I only see the JPGs on the SD card.
I've got to just be missing something stupid. Any ideas what that may be?
kbanes
Was about to ask the same question. Where's the raw???
did you switch your camera into Pro mode? I think it won't shoot RAW in Auto or burst mode. Otherwise you'll have 2 pictures next each other, with JPG and DNG extensions.

Shooting in PRO mode did the trick. Thanks.
So, where do I turn on "Pro" mode?

I don't know why that was so hard for me. But I appreciate your help.
Another awesome and useful (for me anyways) tip, when recording VIDEO with the flash on, you can tap centre of screen and drag the flash brightness adjustment up or down to adjust. I've been wanting this feature since my Note 4 and it finally exists.

You can also say "Open camera in Pro mode" with Bixby
Still, where is the RAW copy saved? I can't see it anyhere with "My Files" neither in gallery. Adobe Lightroom shows nothing if I only leave the "RAW" option checked. Yes, of course I have tried in Pro mode and the RAW saving is enabled.
LE : Problem solved. You can't use custom color tone. Only thing is, i didn't get the error when i switched into Pro mode.
Sorry, how can I turn custom color tone off.

This has been a really helpful discussion for me, pretty much a neubie, though only realised this when I hadn't tried swiping right in camera in over a year of use!
Could someone be kind enough to share how can I turn custom color tone off. I'm not exactly begging, well actually I am.

Sorry for the really late reply. I hope you found out by now.
If not, you just have to open the "Tone" tab which is in line with the other settings like ISO, exposure time etc and just reset the setting
hi guy, are you ok with a problem? Can you check saving raw file => switch to camera pro mode => reset filter to Standard mode => take picture (raw,jpg)

background access

So I've been getting notifications that Google allo has been using the camera in the baground And screen over lay, I'll add a screen shot as well. Anybody got an idea as to why it would be using the camera in the background? I haven't used the camera on the app at all, and I can't remember the last time I did.

Did you try to attach any pic? That might gave it camera permission.
Anyway you can disable that permission in settings/apps/google allo.

I did end up going in, and disabling the camera permission. I was taking pictures around that time, but with the camera app, and not sending them with allo. I just stored them on the phone. Its just my paranoia that makes me feel like it's taking a peak at my pictures even when I don't use the app, which it probably is doing.
