Hey guys,
I recently replaced my faulty 3.5mm headphone jack in the Galaxy S2 I9100. Headphones now work perfectly, but when I take front facing photos using the stock camera app - the phone saves them as a mirror image (flipped horizontally). I know there is an option to flip the photos in the stock app (when set to 'off' - the phone flips the image... when set to 'on' - the phone does not). So basically I can just set the front-facing camera to flip the image and it works.
Generally, people would be happy with this solution. However:
1. The settings in the stock camera app sometimes revert to default for some unknown reason.
2. I have the SCEF02 camera firmware and hate the stock app for videos. I prefer to use lgCamera (app). After replacing the headphone jack, front-facing photos are rotated 90 degrees when saved by lgCamera. Further, in the preview (just after you take the photo), the image appears upside down.
What have I fiddled around with when installing the new headphone jack that makes the front-facing camera want to do weird things?
Thanks,
Jack.
Hello.
Could you please tell me if you found some guide or tutorial for replacing the vibrator? Is it terribly complicated? I am not that new in the art of reparing and replacing parts, but I would like to read or see a video or photographic tutorial for this.
Thanks!
First specs: Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) running rooted with GPE ROM.
The issue occurs on every ROM I have tried, including TouchWiz, and its driving me and my friends INSANE.
I've attempted to look into this issue and I can't seem to find a good answer on this. Whenever I take a picture in portrait mode, the image rotates in the message to landscape mode. Not only that, but if I take an image holding the phone with the lens to the right the image appears upside down.
The image displays correctly in the gallery. However, if its transmitted in any capacity, it will always display upside down unless edited to display the correct way.
To make matters worse, if I take an image with flash, the camera will flash, show the adjusted "flashed image" for a second, and then immediately show me a different looking image, almost as if it was a "pre-flash" image. Many times, the image will look completely different on screen but when downloaded or transferred, it will look completely different. Lighting and all. In other words, the image on screen looks different than the image that was taken, making it almost impossible for me to tell what the image looks like until its transferred. Sometimes the image on screen looks better than the actual image taken, which is why it infuriates me so much.
Does anyone know what is causing this to occur and how to fix it?
I am just noticing this myself. Super annoying!! Anyone have any insight on this?

Nope, I posted this awhile ago and no one has responded to it but you.
I've found some mentioning of it being reported on the Galaxy S3 dealing with the hardware and then some excuse about fragmentation. There were comments regarding "well why are you taking pictures in portrait anyways?"
I hope that someone else has some more information than I do at the moment.
Usually when you take pictures the camera detects the orientation and physically rotates the image accordingly, as well as saving the orientation data as EXIF metadata. Samsung have apparently decided to only include orientation metadata and to NOT have the camera physically rotate the image--probably to give the camera better performance. Some apps are smart and will read the EXIF data to rotate the images correctly...most don't.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a hardware thing. Unless Samsung release a camera firmware upgrade with this enabled, or there's a way to force enable it through software, we're stuck using landscape or manually rotating.

I'm on stock TW (ME7)...I haven't noticed the rotation issues, but I definetly have the before/after issue where the picture looks different. It is super annoying and my wife always complains that my photos look too dark. I asked my question a little while back in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421173). I would love to know how to fix this!!

Can you do me a favor? Take a picture in portrait mode, then download Solid Explorer, browse to your camera storage directory, and tell me if the thumbnail for the image you took in portrait mode is correctly rotated?
Sure. Once taken in portrait, the "preview" image shows as landscape in the detailed list of files, however, upon opening the image in SE Image Viewer, it displays the picture in portrait correctly. I also have QuickPic and ES File Explorer installed. QuickPic shows the image in portrait correctly as well, but ES Image Browser shows the image rotated to landscape (incorrect).
Thanks. Since you were stock I was wondering if there was a camera firmware update problem for people who didn't take the official ME7 OTA. Looks like not.
I ported some rom to my device (star 9770 mtk6577) but all of them have the same problem: front camera not working. As far as i remember by the first time it worked but taking photos at 3Mpx (it should be a 0.3Mpx) but now when i switch to it the screen becomes black as the camera was covered (but it isn't) and the phone becomes slower until i switch to the main camera. The problem is still remaining running a MIUI with the same kernel so i think the problem may be there. Is it possible that the high resolution could have broke down that camera and is there any way to revive it?
EDIT
That wasn't the problem, probably the front camera is detached from the electric contacts and it don't work properly. In fact sometimes when I press on the camera it begins to work.

Hi there,
I would like to have the camera turned off sound without additional app.
The following entry in the customer.xml has shown no effect:
Pic. left side
The renaming the sound file in the UI folder works well is not 100%:
Pic. right side
Although a screenshot remains silent, but the camera clicks merrily.
Has even one an idea?

Hi everybody,
I was looking to buy a gimbal for my phone, and to choose which one to buy I tested some camera apps that can be controlled by the gimbal (DJI and Zhiyun official apps, and Filmic).
I sadly noticed that although the LG Camera allows me to correctly focus from macro to infinite, on all these third party apps I can focus from macro to about a couple of meters far, not more.
Does anyone have the same bug? I'm running stock Oreo firmware with MK2000 kernel (necessary choiche, as Magisk breaks the flashlight when using the stock kernel).
I attach here my /system/vendor/etc/camera/camera_config.xml file, as it seems that playing with the TotalFocusDistance and MinFocusDistance values changes the behaviour of the manual focus wheel in the apps, but I still didn't find how to focus to the infinite.
Maybe I edited that file and I forgot about it?:silly:
EDIT: the problem only occours with manual focus. Autofocusing works great.
