Is camera broken?

I have this flickering when neon lights or in doors lights are on. Is this normal ? On video recordings its even worse..
I usually have this problem on artificial light.
So camera needs replace?

You can flash miui 9 global dev rom it's pretty much fixed in it. (95% better than in miui 8)

Yes, your phone's absolutely normal. Plus it doesn't flicker much in miui 9 as compared to miui 8.

Google Camera Port by miniuser123

Hey there,
I used to use the @miniuser123 Google Camera Port for Exynos on my S8+.
Since the original port only supported snapdragon devices this guy figured he might aswell port it for other chipsets (exynos).
Surprisingly this version also works on my Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29.
The HDR+ although has a blueish tint, maybe this will work in the future since the pictures (portraits i took) look a lot more detailed.
Its like Googles post-processing utilizes your sensor much better. Especially when zooming in I can see a lot more detail in my hair and texture on my jacket.
Go check it out, maybe he will release a fix for this blueish tint if we ask nicely.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/google-camera-app-portrait-mode-rear-t3732762
PS: I like to take portraits with the rear cam since its much better quality on any phone... check it out even though the color arent right, the quality is much better imo.

Can you please specify the version you used and the settings please.

It also works on Mate 10 ALP-L29 except the blueish tint issue.

not working on mate 10 ALP-L09C432... dont even finish installation

V4,
Settings are the standard ones, recommended by miniuser123.

Hi, how do you verify its taking pictures in hdr+?
On my previous phone where its fully working once I take a picture and switch to preview, there'll be a processing time of about 5 secs and it will say "processing" on top of the screen but I don't find all these in this version.
Thanks for any help

+1 here. But I also noticed that its the case with any other app apart from the Huawei stock camera app.
If you try taking a pic with flash on WhatsApp or Viber you will notice the same issue.

@miniuser123 would you be able to take a look? Thanks!

Hey, just wanted to share some samples. since i do not want to show my face i simply zoomed in on the hair, you can see how much it differs.
Left gcam, right stock cam
also the lighting is much better and you can actually see the texture (pores etc) of my skin. The stock cam makes my skin washed out (beauty on 0)

Any update about this camera? I tried v4 but I really don't like the blue tint on portraits... Except that, it works fabulously!

As I said, in gallery I adjust settings, skin tone up, saturation up, color temp up
Seems a lot of work but I only use it sometimes for portraits so I can live with it.

Change to Selfiecam and than back to the main camera.

Yeah, finally found a version that works partially on my Mate 10 Pro (Kirin 970).
GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-2.apk is amazingly fast.
So far the Portrait Mode is already working on front an back. But it lags a bit of saturation, i don't know, maybe because of the secondary monochrom camera.
The other problem is the pink tint in the highlights.
And i can't find a way to enable the hdr+ toggle in the interface.
@Arnova8G2 Do you think there a way to fix that? It would be so awesome, it works as fast as on Pixel2XL!

Bad sound quality on videos

Hi,
I have a MI8 with MIUI 9 Global, the 9.5.13, and i recorded a video today on a loud environment, and the sound is really bad, if it is too loud, you can't really hear anything because i assume it tries to remove background noise and ends up messing up everything, even my Redmi note 3 pro has better results. Is there any software fix, some custom camera app, or anything that i can do to try and fix it? Is it even just me?
Thanks.

Hello,
Can you share the video? I wanna hear if it's like on my redmi note 4 when I record a video in loud concerts.
Thanks

Just update to miui 10 and the sound will be great. It was a bug on miui 9

MIUI 10 does not resolve the issue. He is most likely talking about how it picks up ambient noise and seems to amplify it. If you have a standard in door house fan or an AC on, you will hear it in the video, something that most other phones don't really pick up, or at least not nearly as much as the Mi 8. It's annoying and was one of the main reasons I was going to purchase the Mi Mix 2S instead. In the end I chose the Mi 8 due to the better battery life. This was one of the videos I watched to compare the cameras, and you can really see the difference between the two.

Question Rear display use

Hi Friends , Have anyone idea about rear display use?.
I can use for it for selfie but nothing else. I want use like front display in rear display

Xiaomi has not released that feature yet to their global rom It is currently only available in their beta version of the China rom, which Xiaomi.eu is based on, so it has that feature available now in their weekly rom.

It's not pratical to be used like front display. you can use it to answer/reject calls or change music, but i can tell you the number of times i place the phone on the table facing down by the fingers in my hand
It could be used as a light source(bright white) for close up shots but then again you can do it with flash as well.
I wished they had replaced it for one of these Macro/microscope/nightvision/thermal/blackandwhite camera
and add a mirror that does square so you can see yourself instead of a amoled screen
I would also like to see somethings like on OPPO new continuous zoom lens.
Oppo introduces true continuous zoom lens for smartphones
It should be sharp at every step from 85 to 200mm

However, with the Xiaomi.eu weekly rom you can also use it as view finder when making videos and using the rear cameras.

Still in beta, so we can't expect everything at this point. However, the majority don't use pro mode anyways. Just like most people don't shoot in RAW, so the fact that a small minority of users aren't happy, doesn't really matter in the larger scheme of things. Patience grasshopper.

Im sorry, there's nothing anyone can do about that. The rear display combination with the rear camera is still in beta and whenever they release it to the general public, no one knows and whether or not it includes pro mode, there is nothing I can do about that, otherwise you can take my advice and download Xiaomi.eu weekly, which is based on the beta China rom to be able to use the rear camera with video features. BTW, who needs pro mode for selfies anyways?

Faces details are soft with auto mode
Pro mode has sharpness control
And has no xiaomi beauty mode that includes with auto
Try it with yourself
Go to pro mode
Increase sharpness
And shot
So faces and indoors photos are way better with pro mode
Colors are accurate too

I think there is more frustration with this particular phone because it was expensive ( by Xiaomi standards) and a lot of people who bought it are inexperienced noobs who want it to work like an iphone 12 pro max but even though the hardware is stacked the software is atrocious
Combine that with the low international sales count compared to the s21u etc and you're not going to have a lot of development going on
If I wasn't able to get the 12/512 for China mainland price I also would have bought another phone
The camera simply isn't as good as it should be and you will notice the 108mp cheaper regular mi 11 camera often takes more detailed pictures ( except zoom or night shots )
, if this camera was actually good they would have used it in the mi mix 4 and the mi 11t pro but looks like even Xiaomi know they dropped the ball here and tried to sell it on spec alone without the necessary software to back it up

OK, does that mean you are incapable of flashing another rom? I merely am telling you that there is a possibility, whether you use that possibility or not is your choice. That doesn't require an answer that makes it out like it's an impossibility.

So am i right with MIUI Global 12.5.6.0 i can't get notifications on the rear? In None of the Global Versions?
I'm a little bit confused

Question Stuttering and frame drops while video recording

Anyone else having frame drops and stuttering issues while video recording in Xiaomi 12 Pro ? I've already got the motherboard replaced from service centre still having same issue.

It mainly occurs if my device is overheating or close to it. Also when I zoom too fast while recording. Though it's not so much of an issue that I'm upset with it or anything. Machines have their limits.

Each and every video I came is full of stutter. No clean videos are coming out. Even it's not hot not do I zoom. I'm totally upset with it

You are not alone. Me and my significant other have both 12 regulars. Video recording is set on 4K30 nothing fancy. Each and every video has some dropped frames or some sort of stuttering. Really annoying.
Thinking about switching but there is nothing with same or comparable specs in this form factor. Really like Xiaomi though, would like to get this fixed

Had this issue too on my xm12pro (china). I figured out that it was WAY better when I switched from Xiaomi.eu rom to the official Xiaomi global Rom.
Anyways, it reads like you are on the official ROM, as your Mainboard got replaced, so I don't know if this is helpful for you - but maybe for others

We're on EU official ROMs also. I've tried everything. First approximately 5seconds a f video recording is stutter and frame drops. Switched both phones to performance mode bit that didn't help also.

I don't have this problem, what are your settings?

4k30 with phone running on performance profile. MME +3GB enabled as default, tried to disable that once to see if it's a memory issue, but nope.

Whether with a stock rom, Miui 13 A12, Miui 14 A13 or Xiaomi Eu rom never had this problem and the same with 8K.
Could be a faulty series..
What I would try to be sure and certain that it is a Hardware problem, use Miflash and flash a Stable Global rom. (V13.0.9.0.SLBMIXM) be careful if you have a Chinese version.
EDIT:
Have you tried setting the screen refresh to 60Hz/and lowering the resolution(FHD+)?

Just got the 13.2 and same thing. Two phones with the same problem? That's not very probable
The two phones are purchased different times.from different vendors also.

Something with codecs then perhaps? Also, Gcam might not have full API access but it definitely makes better photos during low light.
But yea, all videos uploaded or send to different devices are totally useless in my device, no matter the ROM. Only videos recorded with Gcam are okay. That is all I know.

The service engineer first changed my camera and gave me the phone to test but the results were same as before hence I asked them to change the Mobo. But still no difference. So I guess no hardware issue only software.
