Photos automatically resizing after taking a camera shot - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have this annoying issue that when I take a shot with the stock camera app, the photos are automatically resizing. The issue happens not all the time, so I don't think it's a setting issue. I've attached a example of how it looks like.

I have the same issue on mine! It works fine at 20MP on superior auto but doesn't work well with 15mp and just squishes the picture!

I suspect you've answered your own question, try uninstalling 20MP superior auto. If that fixes it try asking the devs of the application what is going on, if not post again here.
In general if you have an issue I'd always suggest disabling / uninstalling any apps that could be affecting it, in this case leave just the stock camera app, and then enabling mods one by one until you identify the rogue app.

Red blur in main camera

Hi,
I have a red blur which shows when using my main camera.
I thought it was dust but wife a phone has same problem.
It is only really visible on white surfaces. But once you know its there it becomes annoying.
is a common problem. Are there any fixes available
Thanks

Known issue. Most smartphone cameras produce artifacts of one description or another on pics under various conditions. No fixes I'm aware of.
Thank you for the quick reply. Was sure the blur was not there when I first had phone.
Thanks

Some people say using 3rd party camera apps from Google Play (dont know specifics as I've only seen them mentioned on here & I don't use them) can reduce the artifacts in pics/improve picture quality, might be worth trying a few ?

Anyone using camera 360?

When running camera 360 the screen seems to be out of wack. The image seems tilted and distorted. However, I when switching to the ffc and back it fixes the problem.
Anyone else have this issue? I'm on aokp m6 and the same thing happens on devil toast 0.74

Try using an updated version because it may have compatibility problems if you are using ICS.
The app kinda sucks anyway. But I think it's free and probably one of the better free ones. I users camera zoom fx, much nicer. But I always go back to the stock camera for some reason, got cool mods camera mod installed so it's a big improvement over htc's

I flashed the cool mods camera mod and compared to the camera 360. The pics do not appear as crisp and clear as with camera 360 .
To the other post, I have the most current version of the app installed

I think UCam is the best free camera app. I'm thinking of paying and going pro! Try it out and see how it works. I can use the feedback so I can install it on my sisters EVO3D.

It just kept crashing for me when taking a pic
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I can take the pic just fine. However, it is the preview that is distorted. It happens with Ucam, Camera360, and sometimes with Camera Zoom FX
EDIT* I believe it was the aokp rom I was on. I flashed sense 4.0 and no longer have the issue.

Anyone use VuTalk?

I bought g2 the next day it came out, and did not know this vutalk feature existed until yesterday while playing around with both of my and my girlfriend's g2.
Now we doodle around with this thing whenever we get a chance and me like it ;p
But the sad thing is i dont have any other people on my contact list that i can vutalk with except my girlfriend...
Anyone use this at all?

It gives you the ability to draw stuff you can share with the person you're talking to. I've personally disabled it, as it uses some RAM

Press menu in contacts, u'll see vutalk setting second from the bottom
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
To disable it (and you can do this without root) go into settings - general - apps - all and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You will find vutalk there. Press on it and disable it. And yes it will remain disabled even after reboot.

We are getting off-topic...but, i'll answer
Viber needs only a few KB/s (or MBs for calls) . Other apps need more ( i don't use and don't know about what's up)
It doesn't need an account. (for hangouts you need to have your friends gmail / fb needs ...fb accounts )
And you can do some funny staff. Draw/emoticons/sound clip

YouTube has been playing up on me since 4.3.
Plays half a video then spaz's out and restarts the video.
Only way ive found to fix is clear data and reinstall the updates!
Pain in the ass.
Apart from that....all good in the hood.

Do you have recovery installed? If yes, wipe cache and dalvik.
Well for me I had a massive problem where trying to play certain videos on the stock movies app would stuff up and the app would freeze.
I had to wait it out for it to crash but after that, YouTube wouldn't open, Facebook wouldn't and a few other apps wouldn't either. But to fix it, just restarted the phone but the stock movie app was still not working so I just had to download MX Player and use that instead

Yeah, I think it's more the videos that stuffed up but now it made my whole movies app messed up, I haven't touched it ever since though so I guess it could have fixed itself?
The videos wouldn't play through MX Player either. But I can live without those videos lol

Can anyone tell me if there are any additional Screen Mirroring options under Xperia Connectivity in settings in 4.3 as compared with 4.2*?

Thanks.
Under the Xperia Connectivity option - there is an option called 'Screen mirroring'.
When you click on that, the only option after that is 'Turn on Screen mirroring' and when you press that it comes up with a prompt saying to make sure the output device is ready to connect and it starts searching.
In my case, it finds my Samsung Smart TV once I enable screen mirroring on the TV - but when it starts connecting, it says connected for a second and then a prompt comes up on both screens saying that the screen mirroring has ended - the connection never gets established.
Not that big of a deal, but anyone on 4.3 experiencing camera error once in a while, and then if you just re open camera, it'll work again?

Messaging app slow, crashes after Marshmallow update. Help?

To all the folks with bigger brains than I,
Ever since I updated the phone via LG AirDrive, the stock text messaging app has been slow and crashing a lot. It's not my phone service, as Hangouts works just fine. But once I jump into the stock text messaging app, it eats it and crashes.
I searched this forum, could find nothing specific on this problem, so I submit this to you awesome people.
I've turned off haptic feedback, I've disabled Swiftkey and am using the default keyboard. No difference.
Thank you.
Try to backup via lg backup then factory reset phone and restore again.

I notice a definite lag with the stock messaging app also. But no crashes. It opens very quick, but when I tap a conversation it shows the tap instantly, but it takes about 3 seconds to open it.

Maybe try going into Settings/General/Apps/Messaging then force stop, then click on Storage, Clear cache. Reboot phone and don't touch the phone and maybe wait 15 minutes then reboot phone again and see if it's still lags or freezes.

Same thing is happening to my V10. Started 3 days ago. It starts when I reply to a message. The app crashes and when I relaunch it instantly failed the message and I have to click retry to which then it works. Super annoying though. I did the marshmallow upgrade via air Drive when it was launched also.
Textra FTW
Hey guys, OP here.
Instead of messing with the stock messaging app in Marshmallow, I downloaded and installed Textra. Has all the same functionality as the default messaging app, and unlike the default messaging app, it works flawlessly in Marshmallow on my V10. You get a week of the full program for free when you download and install it from Google Play, and I believe it's $1.99 for an ad-free experience. A great investment, IMHO.
So, TLDR; Textra works where messaging doesn't.
Good luck everyone.
Google messenger seems to work flawless as well for me (now that T-Mobile finally fixed my mms issue)
But yeah Textra is a fine alternative if needed
