My friend has the same phone as me, the Galaxy S2. His phone and mine are both running 2.3.4 gingerbread and are on T-Mobile. He bought his a few months after I bought mine and the camera is much better than mine, they both are on the exact same settings and his pictures are much clearer. when comparing pictures of the same thing he can zoom in on pictues he has already took with unbelieveable quality while mine blurs when zoomed in. Does anyone know why this is? My picures aren't bad quality but his are immense. Thanks in advance, Harry.
Edit: We were both on the exact same settings and compared photos almost identical to eachother, taken specifically for comparing. I'm currently on Lite'ning rom v6.1 but even before i rooted his camera was better.
Are you sure you have same camera drivers? I think that might be the case. I'm not an expert, but by reading people problems with camera I guess that might be the problem that you are having.
Check the settings between the 2. Maybe you have it set to macro focus, like my cousin did.

have a look where your samsung was made china or korea and your friends one check em both... im pretty sure therewas a problem with the china makes... if so go to samsung apps store and download camera upgrade
Firstly check that the lense is clean,finger prints on the clear plastic cover cause problems.

Both pictures taken by ensuring the GS2 is on a stable platform? Camera handshake might amount to something.

We have taken a lot of photos making sure they are fair and his phone is always MUCH better when we zoom in on the pictures.
i have similar problems. my photo, taken outside, is quite blurry and smudgy. this is one of the example.
i'm using the international version.
i havent root or change my rom.
my lens are clear, they have no fingerprint on it.
this is one of the example

But yes, I'm another person who is having the same issue. Same settings all throughout (not dynamic or movie, no macro, superfine etc.). Looked at the screen and it was clearly different. Zooming in looks terrible.

Let me describe about this case.I have used samsung galaxy s2.When I am in the dark,i touch on the touchscreen and flash of camera will be light.At this time,camera will focus on something and i only need capture what i want.Pictures captured from samsung galaxy 2 in the dark is so nice.
With HTC Amaze 4g!When i touch the screen,flash led of camera never to light so camera can not focus anything until I touch capture button.Because camera can not focus so pictures captured from HTC Amaze is so poor.
Sorry because my bad english.This case is happening on everyone or only with me?And why best camera phone can not do something like samsung galaxy s2?
Having the same issue, may just be within the software, but more than likely its just the camera.

I flashed Fouth Nexus Bar and some cm9 rom but useless.
I have the same problem. Its so disappointing.
Try cm10, not as your dd, just check if the camera works the way you expect it to, last time I checked all devices worked the same on cm.

I dunno if anyone else is having my problem, but ever since I got the ICS update, my cam won't focus for ****...its very frustrating.

He is saying use [ROM]CyanogenMod10 to test if the camera works better, because the CyanogenMod10 ROM works the same on other phones / tablets. Only use it for testing and not for your daily driver (as in not for daily use). Once done testing flash a fully working ROM that has no known issues, so you can use it as a daily driver.

Thanks you.Sorry because my bad english skill :good:
Hello, I've checked quite a few threads looking for someone with an issue close to mine, but I haven't found anything, so here I am, posting it.
Phone specs:
Model number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9100UHLPF
Kernvel version: 3.0.15-I9100UHLPJ-CL35254 [email protected]#3
It's basically a stock ROM from my carrier, it's called Personal and it's from Argentina, a very ****ty ROM to be honest but I'm quite scared of rooting and flashing a new ROM to this phone due to previous experiences doing so with my HTC Sensation.
Every time I take a picture with the default camera app my Samsung Galaxy S2 comes with, it applies some kind of odd filter thing that basically kills the picture, it's like, it takes the picture with no issues whatsoever and then suddenly applies some kind of green olive layer on top of it, sometimes it covers the whole picture, sometimes there's none, and sometimes it covers half of it, give or take a few pixels. This does not happen with other camera apps, I downloaded Pudding Camera and it does not present those issues.
Now, even though this does not occur with other apps, I'm quite upset about it because I find this specific app to be very good at taking and setting up photographies for a mobile phone, and any help would be appreciated if it's a mere configuration issue, although I've already done configuration resets and nothing changes. It looks like an app issue more than a hardware issue but I'm not really sure.
Thanks for taking your time to read this.
If your happy with the "pudding camera" then whats the problem.
And Id look on sammobile and see what firmware is available for my country to see if the camera works properly.
Theres also a rumour people on here use custom roms.......lol

I've used many custom ROMs, but I wanted to know if it was a hardware issue or not.
It seems that my s2 has issues taking pictures on the highest resolution which is 8m and it's 3264x2448, I can't fathom how this is happening since the camera is supposed to be 8 Megapixels so I can assume I was ripped off and given a camera that isn't 8MP.

Compared to my S4 I gave up it's horrible inside. All the images are fuzzy. Makes it so hard to take pics of kids. Trying to get it to focus takes so long and always comes out fuzzy. Enough so, I'll leave this device for the next best thing.

I've noticed the same thing. Now I need to decide whether to keep it or return it inside the 14 day window. Ugh. I like everything about the phone, except the camera, but being a photography hobbyist, it's fairly important.
Here's a photo from a concert Sunday night. The worst quality I've seen in years.

It's the camera app, not the phone. I installed the Super Camera and it's great. The gallery is worse, but you can still use the stock gallery and the other camera app. Hope that helps.

This is true. A software update is needed to fix some of the photo and video quality issues.
The problem is with the too agressive denoise algorithm LG is using.This is why they came out blurry.We do need a dev to off it until Lg offers a better algorithm...Also,NEVER use night mode,its useless...use inteligent auto either its day or night...in pretty much all photos except HDR.

i can do that i do see a denoise off option in the libs according to the libs this sensor is the sony imx 135 same as xperia z how does quality compare to it so we can see the software diff.
Hm my model is the F320s tho...will it be the same for me too?Is it easy to do btw?We dont want to be a burden to you.
I will soon give the link to check it out.

Can people confirm though that using a third party camera app does indeed provide way better quality?
If it's in the camera firmware/drivers from LG then third party apps wouldn't really matter...
I didnt saw a better quality with any so far....especialy in low light shots that we have the bigger problem.

Hey so I got the Galaxy S6 Edge on release as my contract was finally running out right before. I liked it a lot, other than the crap that is Touchwiz and it has started to run super slow as of late. I've been running Nova Prime which speeds it up a bit but I have to constantly wipe everything from RAM so that it doesn't lag just to go from Youtube to texting and back (and even then it still slightly lags). Lately it's been getting progressively worse and I haven't downloaded any new apps in ages or anything at all, just the usual social media and texting - that's it. We're talking no apps multi-tasking and I go to open Play Music and it just shows a black screen and 20secs later it shows the app.. I've pretty well had enough especially with waiting so long for 5.1 that a phone that's so expensive has issues much cheaper phones don't even have.
This is probably the wrong thread to post this but I was wondering if anyone else has gone through these problems and if so did you find a way to fix it? Other than that I'm wondering what phone would be a better choice for me. The typical flagships come to mind but what phone seems to be the best to you as of late? Thanks!

My phone started to lag but ive rooted mine on 5.1.1 and a few days after i deleted some bloatware it started to lag but its not too bad. When it does get bad i power it off for a couple minutes and power it back on and unlock it and let it sit there doing nothing for a few minites and then it returns to its normal speed.

Nope. I really loved my z3 and while the camera was able to take great photos it was no where close to s6. Especially when needed to snap and shoot. With z3 you had to do manual controls and even then results wasn't always great.
Everything else (except the design) I liked z3 more than s6 edge

They'll ignore you like nothing. Eventually, you might get the standardized reply on their support center, and in the end, you'll realize that nothing they told you will "Fix" the issue because the issue is not device specific here, it's their horrible post-processing which impacts EVERY S23 series device.
Want to get rid of their trash post-processing? Start using Gcam.
f/1.7
exposure 1/6s
iso 2000.
This is agressive even for a dslr, don't expect more from a cell phone .
It's not a secret, that most if not all cellphone supplier rely mainly on post processing, and from I saw on your picture this is normal.
Nowadays, is less dominant, but I do remember when we had older sensor on S2 , S3 and so on, those artifact were there soon as the light was a little bit low.
