I want to change my phone shutter speed. What should i do?
You cannot. Shutter speed and RAW shooting mode are supported on the S6 Active 6.0 Marshmallow, but Samsung did not provide them in the built in camera app. All the other galaxy s6's and the Note 5 got it.

You can use open camera, it supports raw as well. Get it on play store, and it's free. Great camera app.

The Samsung S6 Active has an issue where Camera2 API does not function properly. It's limited to 8MP and doesn't focus right.

I think I figured out whom I need to contact to have this fixed. Re-reading one of many support emails I have received from Samsung, I believe the issue is not something they handle. I believe it is AT&T's. I am contacting them right now, and so far my support experience has been 100x better. Maybe this issue will be fixed after all.

I hope so, and thanks for taking the time to push for something we all will benefit from. Hopefully they will fix this issue. We deserve the same options as the the other S6's.

Welp... I'm a good half hour in, and now they are telling me to reset my phone, and do a bunch of other stuff.
Code:
REDACTED: I believe the issue is just an error on the developer/team who manages the S6 Active's software updates.
AGENT: Probably.
AGENT: But I want to keep looking into this for you and see what we can do

It seem's AT&T actually doesn't manage the updates. I clarified my issue and the manager of the person I am talking to and I will contact Samsung about this issue. AT&T is just as confused by this as I am, so the manager of support will be emailing me directly so we can resolve this with Samsung.

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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
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.

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

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.

There should be a download link on the post, it's right above the interview with the developer. Yes, I have them both installed on my home screen and they both work fine. Just install it like a regular apk.
Seems Note 8‘s camera works as well as google camera?
Is there somewhere that explains the differences in the various algorithms? I searched around but found only bits and pieces.
Also, it would be nice if someone could post which settings actually work for the Note 8. I tried a few and some wouldn't save and others
(I'm not a big camera buff and really don't use my phone's camera that much, otherwise I would.)
I'm seeing people state that the Google Camera is a bit better than the Stock Samsung one, but my experience is the opposite. Google Camera is giving me bad low light performance. I even used setting from the forums and was still subpar. What settings are you guys using?

Not correct. Works on Exynos too but if you try to make any changes to settings it'll crash. Only way to revive is by clearing storage from settings!

Yea, for the selective focus to not work at all on selfies is odd. I'd imagine we start seeing more people complain of the issue before too long.
I haven't tested the live focus mode much. I came back to Android from the 7 Plus and it took quite a few updates before portrait mode worked very well. I'd imagine Samsung can dial it in with some updates too.

Yeah, usually there's a warning message that pops up saying there's not enough light in the shot. I was messing around with live focus in my bedroom under some tv lighting only and saw the alert. Makes sense.
Any updates to this? Anyone do more research? I have the same with the front camera when I gave more than 1 person in the photo. It will not focus and selective focus doesn't work either.

Yes they did! I was cursing and saying the exact same thing.. It's just like the device manager that they took from us for well over a year.. They are always messing with something and taking it something.. And if you look at the date on the kernel, they took a good month to pull things. They're not trying to make sure anything works on their silly network.. They are just trying to remove features in the frail "hope" that it will make people upgrade to the new models.
Same thing for security patches.. Notice we didn't get one at all for 3 months, while Samsung had been rolling them out every month steady. All you have to do is either read here in some of the other threads, or simply sammobile. The latter always tells when they're is an update our patch to any Samsung device. And I just sat, read, and observed. They do this every year, with every single new devices far as Samsung is concerned.
They let Verizon do that to us. But yes, Verizon is as crooked a carrier, as a bent telephone pole.. I feel you what though, it makes me feel just the opposite. Why in the world would I, as a consumer keep investing money in a device that isn't cheap by a Longshot as far as cellular devices are concerned, when all they're going to do, is disable features, that the device was designed for by the manufacturer..
It really, at this price point to me is simply sickening.. And I really and utterly refuse....
