Droid 3 camera problems - Motorola Droid 3

I have a Motorola droid 3 from Verizon everything is ok.. Its with stock rom on it
But the quality of the pictures indoor and outdoor is horrible they are very blurry the settings are to 8 mp ... but the pictures look like something i would of taken with a 1.3 mp camera out of focus blurred just very poor.
Did anybody else have this problem? is there a solution.
I am on stock android 2.3.4
Is there an update that i can make that will fix this problem ?
Very rarely some pictures turn out OK but i mean its like 1 out of 10 so this is how i know that the camera is capable of taking ok pictures.

Whats your system version

It sounds like you need an update.

ok an update i bought the phone brand new never used by anybody before from Verizon... i connected it to my wifi and it told me he has updated to the latest version available for him and that seems to be 2.3.4 gingerbread.
Do i have to manually update my droid 3 ? Now it tells me that there are no updates available and my device is up to date.

It may be then. Look at Settings and go to the bottom option and see what version of software you have. Also, do you have the plastic over the camera still?

The newest version is 5.7.906. Note that this is still android version 2.3.4.

this is with my photos too... i think its just kinda started to get outdated as a camera... But it gets the job done.
I have a friend with a prism and his 3.2 megapixel camera looks the same if not equal as mine.
Im selling a phone on ebay and this is the pic from the droid 3

Have you tried any 3rd party apps? On one of the roms I was running I had that with the stock app, I use camera zoom and I love it.

Would it be safe to update this or does it also possibly patch a hole in the bootloader? Would you be able to bring the Droid X back down to a previous update if necessary?
i'm pretty sure its safe up update
Downloading the update! Let see if this fixes the ability to copy and paste from the moto email client.

Still no copy paste
I think u need to think before you post "safe". It probably is not "bad" but it very well could patch a possible exploit making your phone harder to root later on.

http://www.wjddesigns.com/2010/07/20/droid-x-ota-update-out-commercially/ I figured people should know it broke my cam and video camera but found a fix for it - it was fring
THe update was to fix a variety of things including the Screen issue.
http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/07/21/verizonmotorola-issue-fix-for-droid-x-screen/
Article says it all.
I've heard DX users report that bluetooth tethering works OOB w/o the wifi hotspot package, and the improvements list for this update includes "updated bluetooth connection for enhanced video sharing experience". Does this update remove said tethering functionality?
The update doesn't break bluetooth tether.

Ice Cream Sandwich Update?

Does anyone know if the Captivate will receive the Ice Cream Sandwich update? I'm talking about officially getting it and also via xda. I'm asking because I've heard that the origional Nexus S will be receiving the update so shouldn't this phone as well?
Sent from Captivate
The nexus s is getting it because its by google so it gets the latest update first, nexus one might get it as well, I don't see the captivate officially getting it but supposedly any phone running gingerbread will be able to run ics

Your best bet will probably Cyanogenmod or a AOSP, doubt samsung will release ICS on this phone. On that note stop with the asking. No one really knows and what is known can be found already....
posted it from my phone lol couldnt see any of the others have a mod close the thread idc lol
You do Understand that Cyanogenmod just recently got a actual release for our phones. Took all this long to get a GB release.... Who knows how long it would take for ICS, not to mention that they would need devs to actually port. Alot of people leaving Captivates now a days since most are renewing soon.

4.2.2 camera w/photosphere on Bionic?

I found a zip file and installed the camera w/ photosphere but am having no success taking pictures with it.http://d-h.st/ac5
Does anyone know if Bionic supports this? I've never been good at taking panoramas so I'm not sure if its me or the camera?
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium
Bionic doesn't have the hardware required to take photo spheres.

I suspected as much. Thanks for the info.

Any idea what hardware is required that we don't have for this?
I'd assume you'd just need the camera and accelerometers, but that's just an assumption and obviously a wrong one.

Gyroscope I believe but I'm not 100 percent on that

Yes. Bionic does not have gyroscope.
..
Sorry, i don't mean to drag this topic into oblivion.. But the bionic does have 3 axis tilt sensors. Is that not the main purpose of a gyroscope? Or is it that picky that it only wants to read from a gyro? I understand no one here built the app, but it just doesn't add up in my head

Still, if you try the apk you will see where it just doesn't add up to a photosphere picture....posted back @Post 1. Unfortunately, I really for wish that it worked.

Just wanted to let anyone here interested know, there is a ROM with working photosphere for Bionic.

I haven't loaded it up (I'm still on ICS, this is a stock based JB ROM), so I haven't tried it at all.
May be worth a look. The ROMs pretty like-able from what I skimmed over as well.

Camera problems, seems like stuck in macro mode.

I am having problems with my camera.
I can't focus on objects that are far away.
But I can focus perfectly in close objects.
:banghead:
This is a pic taking from far. Tried to focus on the car outside.

Once again tried to focus on the bookshelf.
Here I try to focus on something close. Works perfectly.
Again
I tried everything. Restored, erased camera data etc. Nothing seems to work.
Is it a software or hardware problem ?
I can add more pictures if needed.

Google image search didn't help unfortunately.
I wouldn't expect new wallpapers with the 5.1 update.

Pretty sure I saw that wallpaper in the Zedge app.......

Def on Zedge, just search 'blur'
Edit: nvm just searched and nothing similar, sorry
So it's not a Lollipop/Nexus exclusive wallpaper? Gotta find the origin of the image in the OP then.

Are you saying that it is included in the 5.1 build for Android One?
Wish I could find that one too. Or the new one they're using on the Google Store!
There is an app in the Play Store called "Wally" that I have been using now for a couple of months and I just came across this thread and decided to go to the app and type on "City Blur" and came across some wallpaper somewhat similar to what you all are looking for here if not better!
Give Wally a try and see if that helps any
Which one is it exactly?

Shoot it?
Why not just go outside during sunset and shoot one like that and blur it yourself? That way it would be to the exact specification you'd like. Maybe I will try this tonight to see how it goes.
Sure, if I had a DSLR.
But thanks, i hope it will work.

Not needed
A DSLR isn't required to make beautiful pics, If I get the opportunity today Ill try and shoot something similar and upload it.
