Hey guys, how are you?
I don't know how to explain the issue that I'm having with the camera when I use it on Whatsapp, but I'll try my best: when I open the camera inside whatsapp (front or back), I point it
to what I want to shoot but when I take the picture, the image saved slightly moves a bit to the side, as if I move the camera when pressing to take the picture.
I'm sure that I was not clear enough explaining what's happening, so I'm gonna attach some files to show it to you (idk if it's allowed, if it's not, sorry ^^').
The screen recording shows exactly what happens. The first image is a screenshot when I have the camera opened and the last image is the actual picture that I took, without moving not even a bit the camera.
I already tried the basics as search for app updates, clear the cache and app data, uninstall and install again, etc. PS: it happens only on whatsapp, the other apps is working fine.

I seem to have this problem with most apps that prompt the camera to be used. For example, the program "A World of Photo" (you send a random photo from your location to someone else in the world, and they send one to someone, etc) will automatically prompt my camera to come up so I can take the said picture, but after the pic is taken, it just goes back ready to take another pic as if I had opened the camera app. It doesn't go back to A World of Photo as I am assuming it should.
I am on CM 5.0.5.3 (wasn't feeling 5.6) and using the desire camera. Is the desire camera the problem, and how might I fix?
thx

Try reverting to stock camera and see if the problem persists.
Is that as easy as pushing the stock htccamera apk back in the system app folder or do i need to do something with the existing desire app? Sorry, still getting used to android.
edit: and why do I keep getting read-only filesystem errors when trying to do so?
edit2: ok just needed a remount - got it copied over. Now I have two camera apps lol.
edit3: yup it was the desire camera apps fault... well I have dual option now I guess so it does "work" with the stock camera app. Work in progress!
thx
Hi guys,
Using stock ROM and camera (.257) on the Z1. I have a weird issue with the Timeshift Burst feature:
As I understand it, it is supposed to take 30 images, then let me choose one to keep.
Instead, it takes 30 images, lets me choose one, and then keeps all 30 images in my gallery!
They all get uploaded to Dropbox and G+, and they all clutter my on-device gallery. How do I make it stop? I want just one image, not 30.
Thank you!
you can do this.
DCIM\XPERIA\TIMESHIFT, then delete extra files before uploading

Both Dropbox and G+ auto-upload... Having to manually delete files is really a workaround - is there no "sane" way to do this? I expected a setting I missed or something.
Discovered the same annoying issue today. Hope the will fix it or at least give an option...

It's not an issue, Sony made it like this so you can later change the picture you selected. after you take a picture in timeshift burst, select a picture, then if you go to the gallery you will see one image. there is 3 buttons in the bottom right corner, the middle one is to change the picture, if you click on it you will get back to the screen you chose the picture from (as if you just took the picture right now and it's telling you to choose the picture you want to keep in gallery).
Probably the issue you're having is that G+ uploads all the 60 (they're 60 pictures, not 30) and shows them in the gallery. if you can remove G+ pictures from gallery, You'll be good to go.

yea its pretty annoying. i havnt tried to figure a way around it yet but maybe you could use foldersync to watch the folder where the timeshifts are saved, and get it to move them to another location, one that G+ doesnt listen to.
tasker might be another one to use. pick the photo you want to keep and copy it to the dcim/camera folder, then have a shortcut (swipepad is a handy way to launch tasks without leaving the current app) to get tasker to delete everything inside the timeshift folder
Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I've searched and can't seem to find this issue anywhere so am in need of help.
Issue:
Open camera (stock) on the P9 and take photo, shows up in the gallery box in corner, if I exit camera photo is fine. The problem arises if I then try to take another photo straight after the first i.e. person didn't smile the camera won't take a photo and when I exit and re-enter camera (or gallery) the photo is just green lines.
I've played around with settings and changed memory card but am still getting the same issue, is there something I'm not doing setting wise or is it a fault with the camera?
Thanks in advance.
You mean like the one below? I've had it happen to me a few times - primarily during low light shots. If I exit the camera app and come back, the next set of photos then seem to be fine.
I think it's a software problem - I recollect seeing a change log for build 136 which indicated there was a fix for it. I'll try to find the log and post the relevant details.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes exactly like that one, however it's during any kind of shot not just low light ones. I have had the problem since I had the phone and initially the problem did go away if I exited the app and came back but now it's every time, the only way to not have that happen to the photos is if I exit and renter after every photo - which kind of spoils the spontaneity.
Thanks I'd appreciate that.

Here's an image showing the relevant content for the B136 update.
Thanks for that, I've tried downloading the B136 about 5 times now, from different locations and following different instructions, unfortunately it either fails or once downloaded the extraction fails or the software install fails.
Just to say thanks again, I downloaded it to PC and copied it across instead and it's updated and solved the issue.

Glad to hear that 136 fixed your issue. What version of the P9 do you have? And what build have you downloaded?
I'm on the 134 build for my P9 L-09 - still waiting for the update for my geo (C636).

Remember to activate camera2 API before trying the app.
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?act=search&source=pst&noform=1&username=B-S-G
It appears bsg have release an ARM32 apk of an older version of Google Camera HDR. Should work on the G5Plus. Can't access the link to download though.
anyone able to help?
Focus doesn't seem to work
HDR+ port by defcomk
Here is something that works for me:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4UT4dU4LpjJZFZnbGJ1TXVJN2c/view?usp=sharing
Make sure CAM2 API is enabled.
If you are on stock ROM it can be done by adding this line to build.prop:
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
If on a custom nougat ROM use this module: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4UT4dU4LpjJRWY1dzBBUTdHbm8
If on Oreo custom ROM, cam2 is enabled by default.
To use the camera it follow these steps:
1) Open the app, change video resolution of back camera to 4K (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
2) On the camera menu you'll notice it's not focusing, so switch to video mode by swiping left on the screen.
3) In video mode tap on the subject you are shooting to focus on it. ( May need to be tapped more than once, Zooming in with two swipe finger gesture helps to get perfect focus)
4) After you are happy with the focus switch to photo mode by swiping right, this will maintain the focus that was set in video mode, if not repeat step 3.
5) Do NOT press shutter yet. Lock AE/AF before taking shot by long pressing on the finger to form a circle on the screen. (VERY IMPORTANT, else there will be FC)
6) After you have long pressed, take the photo. A circle will be shown which takes 30 shots in one second.
7) Shutter will be grayed out until the photo is processed which happens in the background, you can check progress by taping the thumbnail.
8) You can take as many shots you like with the present focus lock, also repeat the from step 3 for changing focus.
That's it

You need a 4pda account to download from their forums, the 404 error only happens when you are not logged in.
I can't get to register on 4pda, any russian fellow around?

I created a 4dpa account by using this guide to solve the captcha and I managed to install the apk. I found out it wasn't working as well as defcomk's port cause it couldn't auto-focus lock the image. The only new thing I saw was it supported raw image capture
If any of you, for some reason want to create an account and try it for yourself, follow this guide to solve the captcha: https://doorsgeek.blogspot.com/2015/08/4pdaru-loginregister-captcha-tutorial.html

WOW!! I thought the Google camera HDR+ was all hype. I had HDR+ on my Nexus 5 but apparently that was the old version not using the new API. I thought that took pretty good pictures but this new one on this phone is incredible. Every single thing I tried, every camera mod I could find, on any ROM other than stock, every picture looked over softened and blurry, or super grainy and still kind of blurry. Now it looks better than stock, impressively so. The color balance, focus, and sharpness is top notch. Amazing what a change in software can do to a piece of hardware.
A quick tip for people, the camera opens up with the focus set at infinite so if you take a picture of something 5ft+ away, there's no need to swipe to the video to focus. Just open the camera, long press to hold focus, and snap the picture. The camera also works in 16:9 if that's your thing.
Edit: open camera is finicky for videos, giving me reboots. Use Footej camera for quick non HD photos and videos.
Edit2: After messing around with it a bit more, it's not the just HDR+ that makes the pictures so much better, it's the new camera API. Install and use it with any camera app supporting camera2 API and the photos are much better all around.
Thanks a ton for posting this, both you, and OP.

can you post some sample shots? I am really curious

wow google has some magic algorithm...
Since a couple weeks the camera isn't working as it should. Well, the default camera is OK but changing to the wide camera can give problems. The camera seems to capture the image (shows up in the preview) but after checking there is a green image. Or just no picture at all. Sometimes the camera even freezes and close after a while. restarting the camera gives an error: Camera Error - Cannot connect to the camera.
Behavior is not always the same, but problem keeps coming back, also after rebooting and killing the camera. Also deleting the cache didn't bring a solution. Anyone else with the same problems and maybe a solution?

Have you cleared data for your camera app? If yes, i encourage you to try resseting your device (don't forget to backup your data before) and if the problem perssist, than you should take to a service center to check it up.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I cleared data for the camera app. Hope I don't have to reset my device as it will take a while to get everything back to how it is now. Would have been easy with titanium backup. Isn't there an app to backup everything.

Yes, i miss too backup using Titanium
If you cleared data and there' s no change than perhaps you can try installing different camera apk (Google Cam apk or anyother from PlayStore) and check if it has the same problem.

That camera (also Open Camera and FV5) aren't supporting the wide camera, so unable to check as the error occurs only when switching to the wide camera.

Then i'm afraid to say it, but you might take in consideration resseting your device ?
This way it looks that the camera itself has faulty connection to motherboard, maybe return it ?
