Can't believe it, the G2 camera has that autofocus breathing issue like the Optimus G had and my G Pro had this but was fixed in a firmware update. LG never learn!
http://optimusforums.com/threads/lg-g2-auto-focus-breathing-issue-again.8850/
Not a phone to buy I think, unless lg fix this....Xperia Z1 will have OIS?
It's more an open or a closed problem?
I mean, with cyanogen, the problem could be fixed or not?

Like my Optimus G pro, a software update should fix it.
damn. the DNA was kinda like this. hopefully someone will create a camera mod like on the DNA where you can lock the focus....just like with the S4 (s4 does that stock, though)
I've seen this issue on so many LG phones now. Waiting for an update or worse, waiting for a third party to fix it, just simply terrible. How can something so blatantly wrong pass QA and be released, over and over and over again? If it was fixed on an older phone, why does a newer one have traces of it? Even if it doesn't have the problem on launch day firmware, I am really iffy about the rest of the phone's camera capabilities and phone features in general. Such a large corporation like LG continues to act like a small Chinese no-name phone knockoff operation with bad software that completely ruins the hardware.
Interesting, but considering every review unit is using beta software, I wouldn't jump to conclusions on this one.
Use other camera apps
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I wait for an update of course.
But so far I use the beta focal.apk ( Play store)
It makes a total pieceful video! No breathing focus.
Try also Super camera or snap camera.
So this auto-focus breathing has been really bugging me and I've been testing practically every single camera/video recorder app out there. Finally found an app that I think works better than Focal. It's called, coincidentally, lgCamera.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera&hl=en
The thing with Focal is that you have to make sure you change your screen timeout before you use it. Otherwise, your screen will turn off while recording and mess it up. lgCamera, by default, has focus set to auto, but not continuous auto, which is what appears to cause auto-focus breathing. When I set focus to continuous mode in lgCamera, it does the same thing as the stock camera.
A couple of minor issues. First, everything is setup for landscape orientation, although videos appear to record in portrait as well, although pictures aren't (but using this more for video). Second, when returning from the gallery, you get a black screen, although switching back and forth with camera mode fixes that issue.
Hope this can tide people over until LG fixes this issue.

Truth my friend is,that you didnt search before you ask.This is why he answered this way...Its not like there are tons of camera mods for this phone.There are only 2 and both are in the frond page of G2 android development.Its not like you need to search a million pages to find them.

lag issues? i'm not familiar with blade buddy or that touch screen app for galaxy.
i haven't done anything *too* intensive on the phone but i have rarely experience any type of lag on this device. the lack of lagging has been very impressive to me.
if you are on the stock ROM and kernel and still experiecing lag, based on my personal experience, you might want to look into taking it back for an exchange as it could be a hardware issue.
if you don't experience the lag on a stock ROM and kernel, it might be whatever custom ROM or kernel you're using has an issue or bug. if you're on a custom ROM/kernel, also good to check in those specific threads to see if anybody else has reported a similar issue so the dev knows to look into it and resolve.
hope that helps!
Yea when I first got the phone the xda east major laggy and that's before I rooted so I guess I need to take it back then cuz this sucks...since I rooted its been flawless but couple days later the lag would come back and now my screen is becoming unresponsive at time for like 2-3 secs!!!

yea. as a last resort test, i'd flash everything back to stock and run it for a day. see if its still laggy. if it is still laggy, find good examples of when it lags so when you take it back, you can show the person how laggy it is through the examples.
hopefully you can swap out for a device w/no issues!

lol yea, given the unknown area rooting a device currently sits from a legal standpoint, i'd avoid anything related to rooting the device as a prime example.
ideally, if you're experiencing lag on the device, it will occur frequently in common tasks like making/ending a phone call or moving between text messages or moving between menus in the settings screen, etc. it makes the best case for having an issue when you're able to demonstrate it lags during normal routine operations.
hope that helps!

hah yea. working on mainly two small apps on the market, root check and flashimagegui. pondering publishing the completely stock ROM with root, busybox and some developer tools i use on my personal device (as I did publish this on the evo and it was decently popular - might be where you saw my name). also, trying to help out (give back) in the q&a boards when i can!
if you find some good common tasks which cause the device to lag, post them back here as people with the same or similar issues might find this thread through searching and it'll give them some rough benchmark to compare against.
i've yet to see this device lag through any common tasks i run. previous android phones ive had would experience lag so this device has definitely impressed me!

i put mine back to stock and my screen well freeze or lag couple times a day and i have to hit power button to put it to sleep and wake it back up to stop it from doing that and that last only a couple hours.
Flashable Mod that does this:
Uncapped JPEG File size. Great photo quality.
Uncapped Video, recording 40MBPS.
Beta ISO 1250
It's on the front page of XDA, says it works with all Sense 3.6 ROMs.
Tried it, Works The new interface is pretty cool, and pictures do seem to come out a lot better.
We have a pretty good lens + sensor, and I think the software is the bottleneck for the amaze. Hopefully this will help our pics look a lot better!
Instructions:
Download file, Flash it in your recovery, I wiped dalvik cache just to be on the safe side, and fix permissions.
Works ez with 4ext (BEST RECOVERY KNOWN TO MANKIND SHOUT OUT TO MAX AND GLACIER GUY WOOOO)

i know how to do it from root explorer but I was wondering which file to do it on and what permission to set?....
anyhow, I flashed and it worked without fixing permission. thanks op
Will this work with the modified ROMs (which i believe are still technically still sense 3.6) ? If so, do we then have to use the stock camera?
lolz at Capt. Picard I about fell outta my chair.
Yes ahould work as long as the sense frame work is in place. worse comes to worst, restore your device from the back up you made earlier
And to fix permissions if you don't know how to do it do yourself a favor and download 4ext. Completely noob proof Even I know gow to use it

I'm not the biggest fan of this. Stock was perfect imo... Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a deal breaker and I'm still running CRCE, but I miss the stock ui.
I also thought my pics turned out better with stock.

with whatever NRG did in his GB ROM my pics turned out.. amazing! the pics were like 6mb each file and when i shopped it, it turned out around 10mb lol. with this mod i get around 3mb files, still better than about 1mb with stock. i can barely notice a difference unless i zoom in, still a difference though (for me at least)
Tried it on SpeedRom with 4ext and it works. I am seeing an option for ISO 1250, so I am guessing it did get updated. The interface looks the same since EclipzeRemix swapped the TMo Camera for HTC Camera in his rom, but I don't know if I had the ISO 1250 option previously. By the way, this rom is probably the most AOSPised, with almost all Sense element removed, so I am sure the camera should work with all the new roms that have come out since ICS dropped .
Pics come out looking almost the same for me, with very apparent bleeding on one side whenever the flash is on. Finally got done with finals, will have to check if the electrical tape hack helps with the bleeding.
Okay here's the deal. Using Energy ICS... The file flashes but doesn't do anything.
All I had to do was extract the zip and move the two apks to the system/app folder manually, then set permissions of course. Worked fine =)
Definitely (even) better than the stock camera. The focus seems to cooperate even better than it did before =). And the interface is seriously legit. I love it.
Glacier - here are the stock files. Just move them to system/app and set permissions normally. =)

Running Energy rom. Flashed it, camera works great...too bad no option to change the bitrate for recording. Also, any apps that used data connection could not receive data i.e facebook, gmail, games, all sync. Opera and the stock browser works.
Has anyone tried a Rom with the FFC working corectly? (camera shot not sideway, and the effects working) I've only tried 4 so far and no dice.

That'd be my guess and I probably would have never noticed without it being posted but I'm seeing the same issue on Elegancia 4.7. Image isn't sideways but effects don't work. Which brings me to my next question, do effects even work with the "FFC" on stock?

FFC is Front facing camera, and yes it works on stock, effects and all. You say your self shots aren't sideways in Elegancia? That's the last rom I tested. I'm about to try Hasson's dev base, and see what that's like, if not, I'll just RUU, then root, and leave it like that, till the devs have more time to perfect their rom's. Some of them are really nice, but maybe I'm just vain, I take a fair amount of self shots, and the effects isn't that big of a deal, but that sideways action drives me nuts.
Sourced from THIS thread by Reviewers, I downloaded and installed the S4's S-Voice and installed and it WORKED! I'm using SnowJB, so no guarantee it works on any other ROM or even that one, but hey, give it a shot. Driving mode seems to work, but settings will FC.

Friends, how about, I have a question regarding the HTC cameras, I own a HTC Droid DNA, and take pictures in low light, such as in the antrum or Disco. Focus when no LED lights and therefore go wrong photos, I have to take several to hit which goes well, otherwise a Galaxy Nexus (my previous smartphone). My question is: It happens to all HTC? With some mod or some application may fix this?
