Panoramic shoot unusable at 400pixel resolution - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why the photo resolution in Panoramic shoot mode is just 400 pixel?
It must be a mistake in some .ini file because even Samsung Wave S8500 with a less powerful HW can shoot panoramic photos at 800 pixels...
It's a shame Samsung haven't fixed this problem yet (official KI4, A2.3.5).

I absolutely agree. That was a disappointment to me when I realized the low res of the panoramic picture. I'm hoping that ICS will bring high res panorama picture taking by standard though..

Take a couple of high-res, max-res "normal" pics and stitch them together with PanoStudio (PC App).
You'll NEVER get panos like you get that way with any built-in panoramic feature, even the panofeature of my "real" photocam suxx compared to stitching normal shots with PanoStudio - not the mention the resolution you're gonna end up with
Just saying

Camera Panorama Issue - SGSII
Eventually Pano mode sucks in all modes in SGSII, when i compare pano's with Samsung jet the quality is far much better.
Although the picture seems good on the phone, it not the case when you look at it on a pc full view!
Attached there's a re-sized sample. You could clearly notice grains.
Don't know whether you have the same issue.

Out of curiosity I just tried the pano-mode of the S2.
OMG, what a bad quallity

Original Samsung software is excellent: is fast and attached pics are near perfection, and saved in standard JPG format.
There are no good alternatives on the Android Market (= they are slow, bad quality, they save pics in custom panoramic format...), nor I want to use an alternative external app since the option is already built-in!
The only problem with GS2 is they forgot to change the 400pixel resolution (probably for low-end Android phones). It's actually UNUSABLE at 400 pixels. A real pity because for example Samsung Wave S8500 can do much better and uses the same internal software (I guess), but is set to 800 vertical pixels!
Here is a quick comparision between GS2 unusable 400 pixel resolution, and Wave S8500:
Wave:
GS2:
As you can see the poor 400pixel version of Gs2 is unusable. A picture quality worth a 6 years ago cheap phone (below the old VGA standards), without reason.
What really surprises me is that NOBODY's done something to fix this problem. They are all hardly working in customizing fancy video effects and custom roms but nobody ever took a look to the Panoramic camera shoot and released at least a mod-fix for this phone....
We have a powerful and very nice option we can't actually use, because of a Samsung mistake.

The difference is alot !!
I always use the stock camera app for best results
So many updates recently and still haven't been solved...I hope that one day we can notice that it has been fixed because using panorama at this stage is totally useless...

Still the same after more than 1 year?????
Nobody in Samsung even noticed this?

Do we look like Samsung to you ? Complain to/ask them. Nothing will be done about it if you moan about it in a thread on XDA. If you really want something done about it, go straight to the source.

Isn't there a mod fix for this at least?
By the way, FYI, reporting something in a forum may wake up also other users and move much more than a useless single mail to the Samsung support center that will reply with the usual form "Thank you for your interest... bla bla" and stop.
Forums exist also to discuss about problems and bugs. Oh, and I've reported to Samsung the problem with poor Panoramic shoot resolution at least 12 times already...

[Q] Camera Panorama Mode Resolution

So,
Can anyone tell me if the SGS 2 suffers from crappy panoramic photo resolution like the SGS 1 ?
It's such a nice feature working so well, but capped by resolution....
Cheers!
All camera in the market even dedicated ones doesnt use the full resolution in panorama modes.
Galaxy S2 is the same, low res.
might be best if you want full res to take multiple pis and place them into Photoshop panorama. not the quickest but the best results.
yah, it does indeed save it with poor resolution (go to the camera section of this review, there's a sample panoramic shot). I agree with NIK516, you're better off taking manual pictures and stitching them together in a 3rd party app if you want good quality panoramic shots

Aww Shucks! was really looking forward to some awesome and great mindblowing high res panorama shots. With the processor that Samsung put into this baby, thats not too much to ask, or is it ??
Nice thing about panorama mode (with Samsung Infuse at least) is that it utilizes both the built in compass and accelerometer to align the images correctly. Very nice! I have taken many panoramas by hand and stitched them together with 3rd party software but results are mixed when the camera is hand held.
So I also was bummed to find that this very nice feature in my Infuse is limited to minimum resolution. Hey, I used an app on my old HTC Touch Pro to tweak camera presets and increase resolution. Isn't there something similar for Android??
Maybe someone could make a mod on that feature ?
So it will have a better resolution.. that would be great!
PUSHING!
I really would want to have this feature modded in one of the camera.apk's
PLEASE!
I remember back in my Windows Mobile days there was a registry edit that would allow each image of the panoramic capture to be set to full resolution. Is there a tweak for Android?
Yeah that's the 2nd thing lacking from the SGS2 for me, hd panorama mode and notification led
i see panorama on sgs2 not bad..
Please, someone do something to increase resolution.
It's useless at 400 vertical pixels. The mid-end Samsung Wave have a much higher res for panoramic photos. It's an absurd shame on Galaxy S2!!
Here is a comparision (Wave S8500, Galaxy S2):
Wave (800 pixels):
SG2 (400 pixels):
There is no mod or hack to change the miserable 400 pixels resolution?
+1
Great feature but the resolution is TERRIBLE.

Someone is working to find a solution to this problem and increase Panoramic photo shots?
LPQ ICS 4.0.3 from official KIES update and Panorama shoot still sucks with a ridiculous 368 vertical pixels resolution!!!
They even reduced it from 400 to 368!!! Oh my god...
And still won't save changed prefs on camera quit.
Still nothing to increase ridiculous vertical resolution after almost 1 year? OMG
Apparently still nothing...
hopping for a better resolution
where are the gurus on this? I wish I could learn how to do a MOD.
Just waiting for a change on the resolution, thanks.
Also noticed this on my gs2, but what makes me wonder the most, is that on my dumped old Samsung wave, on bada, I could make high res panorama pics, while this cam and processor is better.. So all we need is a developer who knows bada and Android to make a mod I hope

Galaxy S2 camera..bad or perfect ??

hello
i want to buy a new android phone and i love capture photos..so which one have a better camera..SGS2 or MyTouch Slide 4G or iPhone 4..i don't care about video recording
Best camera I've had on a smart phone yet; had an iPhone 4 for a bit before this and that had the best camera imo till the GS II, the GS II takes amazing photos and can't forget the 2mp front cam vs the less than 1mp vga camera that you get with almost any smartphone these days...
Theres a post on the GS II general here that says "post the best picture you've taken with the gs ii" or something, id check that thread out as people have some really amazing photos taken with the phone up.
Edit- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139591
There we go, check that thread out. If you are a skilled photographer or even just a point and shoot guy the gs ii takes great photos.

Well to each their own, from my personal experience i prefer the GSII camera 10x over the iPhone 4 camera. Then again I'm not really a photographing enthusiast I'm just a point and shoot type of person nor do i know the technical stuff about cameras to actually inspect both cameras technically and say which is better. If you are a "pro" photographer id google the specifications of each like the sensor or w/e and read up on it before making a decision.
gs2 camera is excellent..
sent from my galaxy S2.
I'm actually disappointed with the camera, I'm struggling to take any decent pictures with it, although that's probably my lack of talent.
I remember the iphone 4 camera being better, but without having them side by side I'll never know.
On paper the galaxy is better though.
It doesn't replace my 50D, but it does replace my 10 megapixel Sony TX1. Having an 8 megapixel cam on a phone is perfect for most uses.
Wait for iphone 5 or gs3

edit: wrong thread, was meant to post into the "best photo you've taken" one... somehow ended up here...
Anyway, definitely it is much better than my SGS1, esp in lower light. The front camera is unreal also, I take a lot of pics with the front camera when I am out and about (so I can see what I am framing with me in the pic ;-). The SGS1 front camera produced distorted, messy blobs, the SGSII one is quite a bit better. Good enough for facebook uploads, anyway.
But friends took a pic of a group of us with an iphone in a poorly lit telephone exchange, I was amazed at the clarity of the image, my SGS1 was never capable of such an image in those light conditions (my old old Nokia N95 on the other hand, I was nearly always happy with those pics). I reckon (but will have to wait and see till I get to the same location again one day) that the SGSII might just pip it, thanks also to the flash.
Came from an iPhone 4, it definitely has a better camera and it's not very picky when it comes to lighting and focus. In contrast the SGS1 camera was pretty meh compared to the iPhone 4's shots
sgs2 has one very good camera.but the best camera smartphone is the nokia n8.
I agree, the camera is way better than the one the SGS1 had.
First time I can take decent pictures with my phone in a bar - without a flash. Great
I do think the s2 camera is slightly better than iPhone 4 but it does have a slower shutter speed (my mate and I have tested this) and sometimes its hard to get in focus... overall though not bad. Just my 2c
Its not the best camera around but it can surely rival the N8's 12Mpixel camera. The only downside is that there is a pink/green spot depending on the light conditions ( even out doors ) and some users have frame drop issues on low light when capturing 720P. 1080P video is extremely zoomed so this is only good as a 720P video capture. Putting aside the defects, the image quality is very acceptable, altho it still cant rival my very old Sony DSC-P200 ( roughly about 7-8yrs old )
if you use true hdr apps to take pics of the sun you'll be fine
regular camera for the rest
those are (true) hdr from the sgs2:

(accept cert)
dont be fooled with camera apps claiming hdr and taking a single picture - its just image processing and the result sux
im listing that because the iphone4 uses hdr for pics and this kind of pic look a lot better that way
gsmarena has good comparisons of different devices' cameras . It's important to see pictures taken under similar conditions and the same test scene .
One shouldn't expect wonders from such a tiny sensor . Anything not shot in daylight / lowest ISO/ is a compromise.

Camera Tips and Tricks

Does anyone have any tips/tricks for how to take better photos with this phone? Like a 3rd party Camera app, or settings or something?

focus first. then take pic. especially when using the led. the gs2 has the best camera of any that were released prior to the hox. it doesnt really need anything else.
if you must have a new camera app... head down to the themes and apps section and do a search for 'camera'.
ICS camera has better clarity than Stock Sammy one
IMO, the stock camera app or sammy roms is not as good as the ICS default camera app that comes with AOSP/AOKP roms. I feel that the touch to focus(in generall any kind of focus) works better on ICS one.
Apart from that clarity of pics and videos just depends on the skill of the person shooting and the sgs2 camera h/w is in manner inferior to any smartphone camera's out there.
So, I'd suggest that if you are on stock firmware or using a samsung based rom , then try app called "Camera ICS" and see if you feel the difference.. especially in the details captured in the shot.
Hope this helps !!!

They still compare phone cameras to the Galaxy S II camera today, a year later. Its a great camera, one of the best still.
I agree to focus first, frame the picture, focus, and snap it. Let the phone do everything else.
For video, I use 720p instead of 1080p. For whatever reason the 1080p mode zooms in, and you can't zoom out. I also use the wide-6 option of still shots instead of 8. Most of the time I am viewing my shots its on my phone, or over MHL on my TV, and the wide-6 are full frame instead of 4:3.
I like the options and features of the Samsung camera vs the AOPK/CM9 camera, but have taken the same quality shots in both. Anytime I try an HDR camera or other apps, it just takes longer to shoot pictures and I don't see any better quality.
The only issue I occasionally have is foggy shots. If I get fingerprints or other grime on the camera lens it makes the shots foggy (shocker, I know). But, just wiping that clean on my shirt gives me back the crisp vibrant shots I am used to. I also occasionally get the whirring sound, and have since October. That goes away once I focus anyway.

yeppers. i would say you are spot on. i should have added that i am on aokp and using the ics camera. so the focus first is even more important i think. and thats because it is capable of lowering the intensity of the led. but it will not lower the led if you just take the pic without focusing. the sammy apk may do the same. its been a while since i have used it.
i also like the samsung apk all around a little better. the layout is hands down better than the one on aokp. i hate it that aokp doesnt fill the screen when scanning through pics. and just like you... i have found that 720p works best.
In all honesty, get camera zoom fx and enjoy. Supports button mapping, which was an important feat. for me, else works like a champ.
Is there any way to get the ICS camera apk? I'm running task650 and team go **** yourself's 7.3.2012 AOKP rom. I think in an earlier release there was a camera app with a lot more features, but now it's pretty bare bones. A lot of my shots come out blurry.

Running that same version of AOKP, no blurry shots here.

I can get that type of quality when I'm outdoors. It's the inside shots that don't come out too sharp. I thought that I saw that ICS was going to have better camera software like the iphone's. Not saying I want to get an iphone again, but my wife's takes really good pictures.
No problem with indoor either.
The Galaxy Nexus has the zero shutter lag, but that is a hardware thing not software. The Galaxy Nexus camera is terrible compared to the Galaxy S II.
The included camera with AOSP based ROMs does have less options, but I don't see any difference in the quality of pictures regardless of what version of android or AOSP/Samsung based ROMs.
Do you have an example picture with issues?

Thanks for the response. Most of the pictures that don't turn out are due to my daughter moving, so it becomes blurry. It doesn't seem like she's moving so quickly that it would make a difference. I remember my photos being better quality before, so I was thinking it was a software issue. Do you use your flash on auto? Most of the time mine is off.
BTW - cute little girl you've got there.
Thanks, looks like you got yourself a nice little bundle of cute too.
I just use auto flash and wb. The only thing I change is size. Sometimes I get a little motion blur (see attached), but overall my wife is jealous of my camera vs her iPhone 4.
I just use my phone for those spontaneous moments of fun. We have a point and shoot and a DSLR for expected moments (as much as you can with little ones).
I will say that I noticed quick the AOKP camera does not show you the actual picture preview, but the samsung camera does. The preview I get is always blurry, until I go into the gallery. At first it felt like all my shots were bad, placebo effect I guess.
If you do find a camera in the market that works better let me know. I just have found they don't work as fast as the included one, and they didn't seem to be any different on quality.
Sent from my Galaxy S II
I think I need to put the auto flash on from now on. The same thing will happen on our regular camera if there's not enough light, but it will warn you when taking the picture. I've tried other camera programs and they didn't impress me too much.
Thanks for your help.

So the HTC One takes amazing close-ups and low light...but atrocious normal shots.

So I've been using my HTC One for a little over a month now. Tried many different ROMs, currently running the leaked 4.2.2 stock ROM.
I've noticed since day one the camera takes really fantastic close-up (3 feet or closer) and macro shots (few inches from subject). It also takes really great low light shots, again close up and macro. These shots in these situations rival my point and shoot Canon.
Once you go outside and take a "normal" shot in great daylight of a group of friends/family, scenery or a building ect. all hell breaks loose. We're talking like one of the worst camera images from a smartphone I've seen recently. Heck my Galaxy S2 and iPhone 3GS took much better looking "normal" shots from a distance.
Images become instantly washed out, details are completely lost, the picture is injected with a super dose of noise everywhere. What is up with this? Is there anyway software will be able to fix the camera in the future? Is it a hardware limitation?
I owned a Galaxy S4 for a few weeks and that phone took brilliant "normal and close up shots" but was severely lacking in low light where images would just be too dark or too blurry.
I'm really quite bummed because the HTC ONE with the new 4.2.2 update is nearly perfect, amazing battery life and performance, much smoother and faster than the POS Galaxy S4. I'm just really pissed that the Camera can't perform in normal situation with great lighting, I would think any Camera would excel in those condition over any other scenario. That and that stupid 5 minute time-out of the LED notification really holds back the HTC One from becoming the perfect smartphone for me.
I wouldn't go as far as saying the camera is atrocious in normal situations, however, the details might not be as good/clear as some other phones. I know the international version got a software update where it addressed many problems such as noise and exposure (issue with pics being washed out ect)... As for the noise issue i think if you go into the camera setting and make sharpness -1 or -2 it will help, at least it did for me. A big issue sometimes for me is that the auto focus is off so it makes the whole picture become what you described, but i guess its probably because i dont have the most steady hands when taking pics lol. I know tmobile pushed a software update a week and a half ago, but i dont think that it did anything to the camera. Apparently, some people say that when you first buy the phone it already comes with that update installed for the camera... but who the hell knows! Tmobile's, AT&T, and Sprints software versions are all different so its hard to tell

8MP Camera not 8MP?

Sorry, I seem to bombard you guys with questions (and seem to answer them myself ), but that's not the problem. The problem is with my HTC One X+ not taking 8MP camera (and apps not recognizing the camera as 8MP)... including the main stock HTC One X+ camera app... or so it seems. I've tried Camera Zoom FX which recognizes up to 8MP and it went up to 5.1MP for my camera... a different app went up to 6MP, but mostly it's 5MP (as the best quality for my camera).
All my pictures that I take are very noisy and not clear (file size anywhere between .6 - 1.2MB)... that is not good. Resolution is 3264x1840 (or vise versa if it's vertical).
I don't know what the deal might be... is the camera failing on me (Camera on my previous Samsung Galaxy S3 failed completely... wouldn't open at all)... don't know how the cameras seem to die on me... I do take a lot of pictures, but most of the pictures I've taken are bad quality and very noisy... really really really disappointing since I value the camera a lot... I chose this phone for the 8MP (was afraid of the 4 UltraPixels of One so I went with regular 8MP)... now I regret, seen I'm getting a terrible quality 5MP pictures. (I've seen 5MP phone cameras take MUCH better photos then my "8MP" camera).

What rom are you on?
Also the noisy pictures thing may be caused by the fact that the back cover of the camera has a coating that gets scratched really easy and you should remove it, search in the Q&A forum on how to.
The "8MP camera bug" is one of many annoying bugs introduced in the only HOX+ update. The problem is that HTC messed one file in which there are available photo size options. That way NO external camera app will use full 8 MP. Only 5, 5.1 or 6 (square) MP. However, the stock camera should take full 8MP pictures, I can prove it. Check camera options.
This bug can be fixed if you have root access. I found a tutorial about this here at XDA, but after many, many google searches and I have no idea where it is now.
Install zero compression mod, lyaporta camera mod, 8mp photos are in 4:3, pretty sure widescreen or 16:9 option is only 6mp, as it crops the top and bottom instead of making the sides wider.

Sorry, I can't seem to find the lyaporta camera mod anywhere on XDA... I found a few posts that refers to it, but can't find anything else.
Is this the zero compression mod? If so, how do I flash it? Just put it on my sdcard and install it VIA TWRP? Also, how could I make a back-up of the current camera library? (I use sense 5 and the stock one that they offer there is for sense 4... or does it not matter and I can update it back to be compatible with sense 5?)
Thanks for your awesome help so far!!! I'm pretty new at this.
Zero Compression
Well, I tried that zero compression mod thing that I linked above and it does make the file size larger (also changed crop to regular and resolution to 4:3) and the image seems to be a little bit better but if you zoom in it's so noisy, it's just bad...

Flash the zero compression driver that disables the noise reduction rubbish that HTC implements (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339226). Camera Mod is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221815, it`s in the modpack , you can install without other mods, it improves image quality by a good deal. How old is the phone, my phone started developing hazy, blurry photos that had a ridiculous amount of bloom in any lit area, I noticed how scratched the lens was, the fix, simply put a small dab of tooth paste and a drop of water on a microfibre cloth and rub the lens in a circular motion for about 5 mins, don`t use too much water cause it can get under the lens, now my lens is as good as new and the camera takes some darn nice photos.

Flash the zero compression driver that disables the noise reduction rubbish that HTC implements (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339226). Camera Mod is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221815, it`s in the modpack , you can install without other mods, it improves image quality by a good deal.

The lyaporta camera mod breaks my phone... it's just stuck in the start-up HTC One logo screen and that's it... I restored to the backup I did before installing the mod, but it doesn't seem to work... maybe I just have to wait a little longer... I waited for like 1 minute on the logo screen before going back to the backup...
