Do you think the camera drivers or software will get updated???? or is the problem more with the hardware/sensor??? I am using Camera360 app and can get around most of the lighting issues but I was just wondering if there would be something official maybe.
A lot of people have been complaining about the camera, so I don't think an update would be unlikely.

Has anyone tried any of the non-stock camera software? Does it make a difference?
Answered my own question... at least I tested it, the answer is up to you.
Attached below are 2 photos as nearly identical as I could make them. One with ZoomFX and the other with the stock software.
I think that the ZoomFX one is better... now all I have to do is see if I can figure out how to get the ZoomFX one to be widescreen.
Hello, I new in this phone. I now I use camera Zoom fx for take a picture, its very good quality of pictures. But in stock camera I am able to film just a 30min in HD quality... I want to film more then that. Can Anyone suggest me good filming app that I would be able to film much longer? Like till my memory is full.

I have CM7 nighties, so there is camera app, so you suggest me to use that app for filming? It film pretty good, but I am able to film just 30 in HD quality. can I extend that time? like one hour or two hours?
I tried LG camera pro app. it has a lot of options to capture picture and capture video. But I notice that when I capture video auto focus is not working, not on lg camera pro and no on camcorder (stock cm7) , just focused at beggining and then no focus ;( could it be cm7 bug?
It's not a bug of cm7 is a bug of the app.. However are you sure that with stock camera you can register up to 30 minutes?

i really ot tested but in quality section is written HD (30m)
Those written have nothing to do with the maximum recording time, the only limit is the free memory in your device

ok then But I still looking for solution about autofocus... because its not working for me while I taking video
For autofocus I don't know.. maybe is a cm bug, you should expect a fix for your rom or flash a stable version (7.2)

If this has been posted already, my apologies! i've been reading in the forums for months now and haven't seen it posted yet unless it came and went down the list faster then i could see it.
so the main issue seems to be, after taking a few pictures over time the camera app just freezes with the LED on like a flashlight and won't take another picture. until i found this google code submission
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=40996
i've always had to reboot my phone just to take pics again. it's been embarassing when in public with friends i've bragged to about this phone... its a good laugh thats for sure, but not what i expect out of this phone. has any of you experienced this? do you guys on custom roms have this issue? is this a google code issue only or are all roms experiencing this issue? i haven't rooted yet as i always wanted to take updates automatically and stay up to date, but with this camera issue i'm in the process of rooting right this minute but want to make sure its worth my hassle.
discuss.
I've had this issue as well. It only seems to affect the stock app though as other camera apps continue to function. A reboot is the only way is been able to fix this bug.

It happened to me for the first time on New Year's Eve but happened three times. The app reset when I either closed it from the recent apps list or switched to video camera and then back to regular camera. Not sure what caused it and hasn't happened since.

So what you're trying to say is whenever you try to repetitively take photo, camera freezes with led light on? Never happened to me. Then again, I barely use my camera
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've had this happen as well, although I don't think I needed to reboot, just closed the app and it stopped. But I've had this happen several times, not recently though. I'm very disappointed with the camera on this thing, it seems to take lack luster photos and the app is very fritzy and the rotation animation awful, as well as this occasional glitch.
It's a bug and has been reported. You can star it here:

that's exactly what I'm saying. I take a lot of pics especially when we go out. it does it all the time... it just freezes with the led stuck in. I can hit home but when I reopen it and take a pic it gets stuck in again. I just read I can switch to video and back and it should work, but that's annoying. my girlfriends gnex just works and she always laughs at me when it happens.
question, does this happen on anyone's rooted nexus with custom rom?

Happens to me all the time. The camera app on here is pretty disappointing. I don't get it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I just got it to produce that problem and I see what you mean by annoying. One easy solution that I heard people using is using a third party camera app. Try a free camera app and tell us how it goes. Tried to reproduce the problem with camera zoom fx and couldn't do it. Also I believe this is a problem with terrible auto focus of nexus 4. Because when this happens the focus ring looks like as if it's still trying to focus into a object. Hopefully this gets fixed with software update. Cheers
BTW, using a rooted stock nexus 4 with Franco kernel and camera mod that'll increase the quality of the image and video.

Me too and I've now "Starred" the bug.
Hopefully everyone here has too so it gets noticed by Google.
Same issue. Experienced it for the first time on New Year's Eve. Both my Nexus 4 and my wife's had the same thing happen. Only happened to mine once. Happened to hers about 3 or 4 times.
Used the camera the most on New Year's compared to any other time so that's possibly why I never experienced it until then.
Happened twice when asking strangers to take pics of us too, which was extremely annoying and embarrassing.
The LED flash stays on and you can't take any pics. Closing the app and swiping it from recents and reopening does nothing. The same thing will happen on the next try. Need to reboot the phone. It's the only fix.
My phone did this on new years eve too.

Happened the same to me more then once. I don't use the camera that much but when I really need it doesn't work.
This is embarrassing when everyone around you is taking pics with their iPhone.
Had numerous android phones before and never had one 100% reliable.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Had this issue also!
BTW while messing around just now, I got it to freeze , but noticed it was out if focus , so I moved it around and it eventually took!

Try the Camera Zoom FX app. When I say amazing control, I mean AMAZING control of the camera. ISO, tap to focus and shoot, programmable hardware buttons for shutter/gallery etc...
The ability to control ISO means you can get rid of noise for stills/landscapes in almost any light. It works great. Furthermore, the pictures appear to be better from this app. When I started the app, I played around with it and thought "hey this is great, I have control over each shot, but the quality of the picture in auto mode appears the same as stock." Then I found in somewhat hidden "All Settings" menu a SAVE menu which was defaulted to 85% for jpeg output. I put it on 100% output and the pics look very good if not better than stock. The hardware is decent in this thing so the pics should be good. Take a look at the app and try it out for a few minutes to test it.
Disclosure: I have NO financial or personal interest in the company or developer of this app. But I do have a personal interest in photography.
Okay this thread should be in all android phones forums... My brother have the htc sensation xl and he installed the nexus 4 camera app on it (without root and everything just install.. and it have the 4.3 camera interface) so today I was shooting some pics from the app and I Received a viber massage and when the viber popup showed up the camera closed and I entered the app again it says "can't connect to camera" just like the n4 tried to enter the stock sense camera and even not working until I restart the.phone please get another camera app because this stock app cause hardware problems to my n4 And the front camera is not working... Thank you for reading...
It was probably your phone's hardware problem, not the camera app, since it is just copied from s4 GE ROM.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
works perfectly here, and the new 4.3 camera app has been working without a single issue. the htc sensation would need a camera app developed for it to work perfectly on it, the sensation and n4 do have different hardware. plus its not a hardware problem for you, its a software problem if a reboot fixes it.

It is working fine on my N4. I have been using it since it was leaked. It is not surprising to hear of issues with the Sensation due to the HTC framework. Remember, as it is, it was pulled from a Samsung rom.

i dont know, he said.. "and even not working until I restart the.phone", which is a typical way to fix a camera software glitch. deleting the data from the gallery app works if its a data corruption issue.

The interface for "4.3 camera" was first leaked on the N4 running 4.3, but when the GE devices came out, they had the "4.3 camera" preloaded
Did you try a factory reset before returning?
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!
Same happened to me on AOKP latest nightly, but with stock camera.
On previous phones, and various ROMs also happened once or twice, so i guess it's just some litlle bug, and definitly not hardware issue, but maybe Android itself
The app crashed and it was still connected to the camera. If you'd gone into the recent apps list or the application settings menu and killed it, it would have fixed the problem. The Android OS only allows one app to connect to the camera at a time as outlined in the SDK Documentation. Even the stock camera apps do this from time to time with third party apps (like Instagram) that also use the camera. No big deal.
He's probably worried it's related to prism wanting his smurf pron, spying on him randomly.

Well I had too many of apps that use the camera and in the beginning the can't connect to cam it was not a big deal to me but when it started to show up every time I open the cam from the lock screen... And when I switch to f-cam it not working I tried fac reset
and another rom and it still ...but my question. Is when I get back the n4 which camera app do i use... I'm afraid from the stock ...

I'm talking about bringing it back to total stock. Make a nandroid back up first then use easy nexus toolkit and bring it all the way back to stock. It could be a driver issue or something like that or some kind of a conflict caused by an app or something.
Hello,Xperia SP users are welcome...

i will list the problems experienced with SP:
i) low call volume on speaker. in noisy places i simply cant hearing anything.and i have perfect ears.
ii)apps frequently killed due to some RAM issues.This is the biggest problem with this phone I think walkman gets killed sometimes when opening chrome tabs on chrome X(
iii) for me, battery life is not as expected.

Will the battery drain?
I'm using sola now with JB rom drains 1~5% for a night.
Do you use ram booster or any apps killer?
I never heard people got this problem...
Low call volume?This is not important for me,i always use loudspeaker.
Does the loudspeaker loud?
How about the camera quality?
FHD video recording lag?

nope i don't use any apps killer or something like that. but after this problem went annoying i installed supercharger script. it solved launcher redraw issue, but still could not solve apps getting killed without reason.
i don't use camera that much, the quality is good for me, but the pictures taken are having much noise. never recorded video at all

For the RAM issue, you can set a lower minfree value using SuperCharger V6, or you can use RAM Manager Pro and set to Hard Multitasking.
For me, I use lower minfrees and now I have no launcher redraws, and apps keep in memory for longer! :thumbup:

The loudspeaker is loud and clear and I dont experience battery drain unless using the wifi the camera IMO is kinda slow in taking pic and too saturated. The shutter sound is seriously loud.
I bought this phone this week and I'm happy with it.
I had Xperia X10 before.
For me the cons are:
- Only 1GB RAM (I can live with it)
- Camera pictures - low quality in low light conditions, noise (hope to be improved in the next update)
- Front camera resolution (I don't use this camera)
The battery drain depends on the ROMS and APPS you are using. Look good to me.
Never recorded video.
Games runs well.
GPS works fine.
Screen is good.
Performance is great.
Sound/volume is normal.
Illumination bar is nice.
No lag at all.
For a mid range device I think it's great. :good:
