Hi Guys,
I bought the unlocked S10 Plus from Samsung US and use it on Verizon. I don't seem to have an option of Night Mode or anything like that camera app. Am I missing something?
Also, does anyone know the trick to consistently prompt for the "Scan" feature when taking pictures of documents? It's so flaky that it probably works like 5 to 10% of the times...
Thanks!

Night Mode is meant to arrive to North American phones in a future update. Samsung is not telling us when, no estimated time frame. But it's meant to arrive for us eventually.
For scanning documents, I highly recommend this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intsig.camscanner&hl=en_US
It's served me very well.

Got it, thank you for the education bud. I know about the scan apps but the one baked in the camera is neat, but it rarely fires... ?
Any reason for the exclusion of night mode for the US?

Samsung probably used EU for testing purposes, so US customers will have a bug free experience
I use the scan feature all the time, in my experience the scan feature wools 95% of the time, sometimes I have to try a second time to get the whole document in as it only scans most of it. As long as you scene optimiser is set it should work. I am in the UK with an unlocked S10 and although I have the new night mode I still don't have May security patch. It appears Samsung are updating all phones with May update before the S10's which is their flagships.

Well that app seems to have better features compared to what we have stock. More capabilities.

Aren't the exynos camera sensors different to the snapdragon models? That's my hunch.

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 I was looking through all the current GCam builds, by that I mean all those modded ones, and I think I found the best one for Snapdragon phones. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.6.apk
The Pixel2Mod one is the best, but requires a device whitelist to work. So, you know, it takes time.
@Arnova8G2 could you please add starqlte, starlte, star2qlte and star2lte
I think those are correct.
The one you posted crashes completely on my S9 Snapdragon. It works on yours? It won't go anywhere past accepting permissions.
The one I have that works is named gcam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_SG7Exy_V8.2.apk. Looks like it's for an Exynos, but at least it runs.

Link?
I did a quick spin around looking for Gcam.... man, there are a lot of options! (and opinions)
This thread here has a 'stable' one with HDR+. And an additional one which is the 'best' for portrait.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/pixel-cam-hdr-s8-exynos-nougat-t3729169
The v8.2 one I referred to specifically is from the S7 forums, here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/google-camera-portrait-mode-t3736859
I just installed a few but haven't had any opportunity to really test them out much. Phone is not my daily driver (yet?).
I installed one that is working but makes the phone very hot. Uninstalled it with away.

Odd this doesn't work on my S9+. Wonder if the telephoto lens is screwing it up? Is everything working for you including portrait? So far the only thing I see wrong with Samsung's stock app is in low light, it gives off reddish tint.

this INSTANT crashes on the S9+. It also crashes my phone. I am not sure why.
So it works on s9 but not s9+ for you too? @mweinbach. Check my gcam thread for s9+... also pm me your google hangouts ID if you have one
Hope someone ports it soon. I loved the GCAM on my note8. Sold it and bought the S9 thinking that the GCAM port would work on this too. Samsung stock camera is nowhere near the colors and the dynamic range of the GCAM.

Did u get my message? The miniuser work but is heavily tinted in various condition, especially day light it goes blue. I was able to fix white balance settings to take great pictures in low ambient lighting.
I will try it
No option in camera? Where is it?
do you have the phone already?
I already pre prder it and i'm just watching all the reviews from youtube.
Bright night is baked into the AI functionality not as yet a standalone
Bright night is actually under scene optimizer -> intelligent features. There's suppose to be a visual prompt of some sort. I used a retail unit in a bright setting, which might be why it didn't work on the S10+.

I may be wrong but I believe that is coming in a software update sometime after release. Should not be a problem.

still hoping that they will add this like in pixel 3, i really don't know why samsung didn't put that feature.
Hello,
So far I noticed I am missing:
vibration sound for incoming calls
Call vibration pattern the Sync with Ringtone option
Also, I dont see anything for animal photos as it was listed on the new features.
Still checking what else my ultra may be missing.
Thanks
Quite a few features from the advertised feature list are missing in the final OTA. I don't know if these will be coming later on but it's highly doubtful!
The animal pictures is present, but is not a function you can switch on of off: it detects pets/animals in picture, while earlier only persons were recognised. A tracking gate is shown in camera.
This can helpful for auto focus and tracking of the pet while filming. Not a mind blowing feature IMHO...

So a bracket is supposed to come up automatically when it detects an animal? Cause right now I have to tap on my puppy so that it stars tracking it but I can as well tap on an object and it will keep track of it as I move the frame around.
Just want to make sure I understand how it works.
I hate that the recent apps shows a bunch of stock crap at bottom now. Actually about to put my SIM back into old iPhone.

I see from your tag that you are in the US. I am in the US and have the SD S22 Ultra and with the current ROM, I have all those features. So do you mean they are missing or not working?

The first 2 missing. The pet recognition, I cant tell for sure if its working or not. I dont see anything special.
Strange. All that is present and working on mine. If I go take a picture of my dogs, the screen frames them. As you can see from the attached pictures, the settings are present on my S22 Ultra. Also, the phone places a box on my dog when I go to take a picture.

Your signature claims you are on an S22, this is the S21 Ultra forum. No one is debating the S22 having them, we are talking in and about the S21 Ultra.
OK, just wanted to let you know that on my S22 they are all available. Never had the S21. Went from an S20+ to the S22 Ultra. Take care.

Me too
FWIW, I complained on Samsung Members but I'm not very hopeful. They have acknowledged the complaint but nothing has progressed since...bloody losers
Here's an update from the Samsung members app...don't be so hopeful anyways
I got an extra update today and it added the pet camera tracking for me!
Hi,
I'm looking into buying a S21 Ultra or S21+ Live Demo unit for multimedia use only, the seller told me there is no software support since may 2021, is it possible to flash the rom of a "normal" variant to get the latest update ?
Thanks you a lot
bump please
Demo units are not for sale, therefore almost always illegally obtained. Expect no support.
My advise is to stay away from demo units.
Standard international, up to date rom, can be flashed using odin on these device

Expect some issues. If you are looking for multimedia, remember when you do any unofficial mods to any Samsung phone. You will lose HD Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.etc. Unofficial mods dumps Google's Widevine keys. If it's not very cheap then normal S21U stay away from it. If it's like half price, It looks like a deal.
But as myself, if I was planning to buy demo unit I probably choose OnePlus or Xiaomi because they are more easily modable.

once you learn the ups and downs of flashing, you will realize alot s possible.. live demos should be no exception.
just about every samsung i believe is mod -able- in some fashion
and just remeber if it powers on.. its not completely bricked. samsungs are stout
Happy Flashing and GL M8

Except, you can't enable OEM unlock on the device, and the download mode screen is totally different to the standard S21...
Theory and practice are different. So I guess your response is not first hand experience?

There is only a few limitation like some benchmark that can't be installed, you can't connect to Samsung account but overall is very well usable, I guess I could go more in depth in rom flashing, rooting and so on but I don't really care right now
It can be OEM unlocked, I have the warning message at each boot that my bootloader is unlocked.
Also, I don't think it can OTA update, it's running the april update and it says that no update is available.
