[Q] Bad quality on photos even after the camera update

Hi
I'm having problems with the camera.
I bought a Moto x three weeks ago and noticed that sometimes (often), when taking pictures, somo red and blue stripes appear while and after taking the photo. Those stripes appear and desapear. The only way of getting rid of them is to focus the camera for a long time (like 5 or more seconds) and even if they desapear, sometimes they come back
I thouht my phone was damaged so I claimed my warranty and they gave me a new one last thursday but the new one has the same problem.
Is anyone experiencing this problem too?
I'm not sure if it's a general problem or if I should go back and claim the warranty again .
Here is an example of a photo taken on my room with the lights on to a white paper.
I forgot to say that sometimes the stripes are not red and blue. Instead they are gray like in the picture I attached.
Thank you for your suggestions.

Yes. It happens for me when I have a fluorescent light in the room. I tested this on demos at the store and same thing.

So I assume this is a general problem. That makes me feel realy upset with the phone.
I hope some update fix this.

Love the camera on this phone! Am I the only one?

I saw this at the Verizon store on two different Moto X's. I have also seen this on my Nexus 4, but only under some settings in FV5 (never with stock camera app). Guessing it is a software issue but it is definitely a little disconcerting.
For those experiencing the issue, make sure your a squeaky wheel about it to Motorola if you want to see it fixed.

Love may be a strong word here. I think the X can take some really good pics, in the right lighting. But if you are in a low light situation, pics are garbage...lots of noise. The camera is the ONLY reason I miss my Samsung devices, they took really good pics.

this seems like a banding issue to me, which i'm surprised the camera app doesn't include a setting to eliminate. try a different camera app, like camerazoom fx to see if you can correct the problem with software. if it doesnt go away, it may be worth replacing.

I take a lot of pics indoors and they are terrible. No complains about photos taken outside.
I would not care using another app if I could keep the twist to activate thing : /

New Nexus 6 camera wont focus

So I just received my new nexus 6 in the mail from a deal I got on amazon, I spent some time getting it unlocked and rooted and was just about to go down to AT&T to get a new sim card for it when I tested out the camera app. Now I know the camera in this phone isn't supposed to be great but everyone said its a great deal better than the nexus 5. The problem is mine wont focus at ALL. I cant figure out what is wrong, I didn't flash any custom roms yet nor have I downloaded any special apps. I just cant get it to focus at any distance on pictures. Does anyone know anything that could help?

There's something wrong with the ois module. It's hardware and you should get a replacement.

I have just developed an out of focus problem with the rear camera on my Nexus 6. I consider my Nexus 6 the BEST CAMERA I EVER HAD!!! I have tried everything - clearing cache, uninstalling updates, re-installing app, booting in safe mode, etc.. I searched for a manual focus camera app and finally found one in Google play to see if I could get the camera to focus manually. I finally found AZ Camera. This third party camera app showed me that I had only very limited ability to focus and only in the Macro range - like probably less than a tenth of an inch. I have come to believe that something mechanical in the lens mechanism is to blame. My phone was manufactured by Motorola which has given me very good service in the past. As much as I hate being without this phone, I will send it to them to have it fixed. The low cost of a replacement camera (you can find them for about $20) was tempting and I am quite capable of following the YouTube instructions to get the job done, but, I am also quite capable of screwing up by messing with micro parts, adhesives, and the miriad of connections and screws. I would rather that someone who is totally familiar with the device and does this kind of thing everyday for a living do it.
I will come back and post the results.
UPDATE: The problem went away, thankfully, all by itself. Not so good news, as I cannot offer a solution, nor do I know how to prevent it from ever happening again. I did spill coffee near my device but did not think it got wet. Perhaps it did get a drop inside and later dried out. For now, I am just so very thankful that I have my beautiful friend back!!!

I took this phone a step further and switched to purenexus 7.1.1 with December updates and only installed the mini gapps. It almost looks like the official google camera slows this beast down to a crawl...

Primary camera lens vibrates, buzzes and jitters

Hi All,
The primary camera lens has started making buzzy sounds, it vibrates very bad and because of these, the camera interface is all jittery and wavy now.
I guess its a hardware issue, may be adhesive for the camera lens is super weak.
Secondary lens is intact and works perfect and so does the front facing one. Its just the primary camera lens.
Need some expert opinion on what is going on here.
I am holding the indian tencent variant as everyone is calling it.
Thanks in Advance

Hmm well surely if the phone has a physically defective camera lens, it needs returning to the seller...

I heard Galaxy s9 had the same issue which was fixed with a software update. So I am trying to gain a second thought here.

Ahh, ok. :good:

I thought the Asus Zenfone 6 has the same camera module (excluding the selfie camera) and I doubt if there have been reports of such problems.
Hopefully, it can be fixed through software.
Have you tried using gcam to see if it does the same?

Question I NEED HELP !!!

My s21 ultra snapdragon was fine until i got an update of February i guess and the camera got blurry as shown in the picture. Only the 1x . I went to Samsung and they said they cant do anything for me they dont even have the camera . And my phone did not fall or anything. I really really need help

Nothing we could really do. You could try a factory reset or reflashing the official firmware to see if it fixes.

The weird thing is when u tap the camera from the back it works normally

Hey, have you tried cleaning the lenses. Normally I would attribute this kind of issue from having debris on the lenses. Wipe all the holes at the back of the phone including the black area where the other sensors are located (laser)

Looks like an issue with the Optical Image Stabilization mechanism. Could be software or hardware. Can't say with certainty. It happens to me occasionally (once a month or so). Seems to me that the OIS mechanism gets stuck in a non optimal position and is unable to lock focus by itself.
The Quick fix (and the only thing that really works for me) is to whack the phone around the camera island. This seems to reset the OIS back into functional position. I'm not entirely sure but I think I've noticed this happening after bike rides or long walks which keep shaking the phone in my pocket. Maybe that throws the OIS out of alignment? I'm not sure. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience. YMMV.
TL;DR
1. Factory reset your phone. If not solved, it's a hardware issue and need camera module replaced.
2. If can't replace module, tap/whack the phone before taking photos if you notice focus is off. That should fix it temporarily.

I'm guessing the camera is focusing on the closes thing to the phone which is that ground and the rock sitting near you... as objects get furthur it seems to get blurry... if you look at the details of things that are captured in the bottom segment of the picture they look to be in focus.
my guess is the AI processing gone wrong, or badly implemented vs what they intended to do.
reproduce the issue then report it to samsung using samsung members app > get help > error report share the detail as much as you can and be specific of the issue. Also share the original image if you can.

Yes they do. And it's terrible to see these failures in so called premium flagship devices.
If you're still in warranty period, start pushing for replacement. Otherwise try a local repair shop that might have a camera module from an otherwise damaged phone.
And don't buy a Samsung device next time, if you want to teach them a lesson. The only thing companies respond to is a spanking with their customers' wallets.
We can rant and complain all we want on forums like these but unless we stop funding their bad practices and poor quality control by cutting off the money, they won't have any reason to change.
Sadly, the number of people that will do this is probably insignificant and the majority will continue as usual, so this is unlikely to make a dent immediately. But over time, maybe? Nokia was once king of all phones...

Totally agree with u bro . Its always our loss. I went to Samsung official shop here in my country and they said they dont have the camera and they cant do anything and no one on my local shop have this camera all phones here are budget phones . I cant do anything right now i will keep the device or maybe wait for a software update to come out and maybe it will be fixed caus my phone never fell so this got to be software issue

Question Camera blur issue

When taking photos from main rear camera the edges get blurred and, camera cannot focus on edges manually as well.
Started happening since a few days. Same on different camera apps.
I'm miui 13.0.9 if that helps

Hi There
Same Thing Is Happening To Me.
A Few Weeks A Go i Noticed that main Lens is having issues when I'm trying to get photos! It was like blurry,the lens was making a Ticking/Rattling Noise!
Still Having The Same Problem!
I Thought Maybe It's The OIS Malfunctioning

OIS? Rn10p hasn't OIS

While the camera app is running, hit the side of the phone against the palm of your hand. Does it focus after hitting it?

Yes that worked and made it focus, but each time I close the camera app and open it again it goes back to the same issue.
Do i have to hit it everytime now?
Attached below one after hitting it
and another after I close app and reopen

Annoyingly, yes. I had to live with the issue for about 6 months. Until one day, I got fed up and hit the phone so hard, it fixed itself. I have not seen the problem since that fateful day. I have been using the phone for a year and a half now.
