After the Android N update i took a lot of photos out of focus and a lot of noise.
I have this phone ftom the first day it went out in the market and ALL the photos i have taken so far are great.
I have serious thoughts to roll back to Android 6.....

When I first received my GTab with the stock ROM the camera quality was pretty good and clear. When I switched to gingerbread the camera quality deteriorated and is really pixilated and just bad. There is no feature to refine the photo quality from low to medium to fine etc that you see on other tab cameras. I had a really cheap tab from China running on 2.1 that had better camera quality. I read somewhere that the issue may be that there are no drivers in Gingerbread for the Gtab camera. Is this true and is there a way to get back to the original stock camera quality that came with the Gtab out of the box? Thanks, I am new to this, tried to read a lot but can find no clear answer to this issue.

All of the Gingerbread roms suffer from poor camera capture, it's a known software problem, it should be resolved (according to a few developers who have posted) in not to far off revisions/releases.
If you want fully functional video acceleration and camera, stick to any of the Froyo (non-gingerbread) roms that are more closely based off the stock ROM, while waiting for the gingerbread rom kinks to get worked out.
Camera fun free works but reads the rotation sensor wrong so the display is 90 degrees off
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's because we are don't have the nvidia drivers for gingerbread so the camera and video playback is sub par

Well blow me down... it does! Thanks. I could never find any that were happy with any Ginger rom.
Hello everyone,
during the past days I was at home and there was a guy who had a Nokia Lumia Phone with Windows on it. I need to say if there would have been Android on the phone I probably would have ordered the phone immediately. The camera on the phone was so amazing I was really impressed!! The pictures were clear and sharp, colors very nice and the best thing was he could set up everything I know from professional cameras: Exposure, Shutter Speed, ISO-Level and even MANUAL focus. It was probably the best mobile phone camera I have ever seen.
Now I really want a phone like that. I really even thought about if I could arrange myself with Windows but I can't. So are there any Android phones that can nearly the same? Is there any phone offering such settings?
Thanks!!
Cheers

I don't know about Shutter Speed, but LG G2 has Manual Focus feature. :good:
Exposure and ISO-Level is almost available on every android phone these days.
Thanks
My Optimus 2x has manual focus (when running official Gingerbread 2.3). It worked really well, but I think that would be too old for you.
I got the HTC One Max in Feb and I liked it even though I knew the camera wasn't that good because it was missing ISO (hardware, not software). Updating to 4.2.2 with Sense 6 pretty much broke the camera for me. When trying to zoom onto an object at close range, it'll focus and then distort and the camera keeps making a buzzing noise like it's trying to keep auto focusing but it passes the point of a clear picture and never fixes itself. I never rooted, unlocked bootloader, or S-off this device--everything is stock. It's frustrating that I'm spending so much money on a phone for it to just mess up like this. Any advice or something for a fix? Can I install the old camera APK from a previous version of android?
RMA it....hard ware issue it appears
agree, sounds like an RMA to me too. I have had the one max since launch day.
the camera is great. I dont use the stock camera app because its limited in what it gives the user, but i have taken good images with this camera.
Feel free to scroll past the first paragraph if you don't care for my story of data loss - I wouldn't blame you one bit.
Also, to the forum moderators: feel free to move this thread as you see fit. I've been having trouble organizing my thoughts in the months since my last post on XDA, so I'm less sure about which category this falls under. Thanks for bearing with me!
I traded my Nexus 4 for a Sony Z Ultra GPE last month, and normally I'd have plunged right away into my typical Android experiments of dual/multi-booting with Ubuntu, Sailfish, and other Linux distros, among other things. However, several major data losses recently stole my attention - all the pictures I had taken on my Nexus and a few other things I don't care as much about were backed up to my laptop's SSD. Of course all these backups were stored on a compressed and encrypted btrfs partition that Windows went ahead and irreparably corrupted for me. It doesn't help that my laptop is my only computer now. Lesson learned I guess. Needless to say, I'm cutting down on unnecessary projects now, like a 50GB Android source tree, which is probably a bad idea for a laptop/SSD anyway.
Okay, so this isn't really a question thread - it's more like a request for feedback. I'm on CM11 nightlies right now, and I backed up my TA partition in several places (thank God for that - seriously!) so I'm currently on an unlocked bootloader, but I've been contemplating relocking by restoring my TA backup and upgrading to Lollipop. The main reason I was all excited about Lollipop is the camera might be better. Worryingly, I haven't heard much chatter about how great the camera is after the Lollipop upgrade. I realize there isn't really a way to do a scientific, side-by-side comparison unless you own more than one ZU, but any improvements with regards to low-light performance or noise reduction, even slight, would be great to hear about.
Please note your bootloader lock state with your comments - I'd like to find out whether I need to give up CyanogenMod for camera improvements. If the camera isn't even slightly better (I don't care too much about auto focus) I may consider selling my ZU and possibly getting a cheap Nexus 5, despite it almost being a downgrade since I love my ZU's huge screen. I knew what I was getting when I bought this phone, but I've been avoiding posting any pictures to social media for the last month out of embarrassment.
So yeah, let discussion about the camera post-Lollipop commence! Thanks in advance for your contributions!
First off LP (for now) won't drastic improve the camera. We need updated drivers that do RAW for the big improvements, like on Nexus 5 & 6. That being said get a decent camera app (FV-5 paid or 'a better camera') that allows S and ISO and set the ISO as low as you can ie 50 or 100 and the photos are much improved.

Correct. Unfortunately, as of now, we are unable to change the iso sensitivity on the camera. Photos do appear better, just noisy since the auto iso kicks in...
I can safely say that camera is slightly better on the L probably due to better drivers but raw image still unavailable on the Camera fv5 latest update.

Hi everyone,
I am a happy owner of a Sony z3 tablet (aka SGP611, aka scorpion_windy).
Last week I installed cm12 with the help of this excellent post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-...t/root-root-locked-bootloader-sgp621-t3013534
Everything goes well and the device runs stable, but for the camera.
The cameras auto-focus appears not to be working. I tried different camera software but the problem persists. Front and back camera only produce blurry images. Is this normal? Googeling suggested that the camera quality will be reduced due to the missing proprietary drivers from Sony, but nowhere it is mentioned that the auto-focus is not working.
Is this a common problem, can this be helped? Any help will be appreciated.
I have the same and didn't get any info on that, even though it works just ok for some people
same here. sgp621.... I want to sell it just because of that....
I have the same issue with my Z3 cell phone.
Installed CM12.1 which is awesome, but the camera quality got completely messed up.
The Z4 camera port install causes my phone to get stuck in the CM loading screen forever. And the Z5 camera port doesn't work on CM.
So, this blows.
Same problem here. I have Sony Xperia Z3 compact tablet (SGP611). I installed CM 12.1-20160126-NIGHTLY-scorpion_windy.
My front camera focuses OK but back camera is blurry and won't focus.
Same here. Any solutions since last post?
