Majority of my photos are blurry.. any tips? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

A large majority of the time I take a photo, it is blurry. I have default settings on. I make sure I am still also... I've used CameraZoom+ and it was a lot better than the stock camera.
Are there any kind of settings or tips I can do to decrease the probability of a blurry photo ?
Thanks !

make sure you removed the plastic coating. I swear it wasn't on there when I looked the first time but there is a deal you peel off the camera just like the screen.

Yeah, I have settings on auto.. still blurry a lot of the times. The only thing that has seemed to work is to have "Tap to take pics." set to on. I tap the screen and keep as still as possible and that usually results in a better pic, rather than hitting the camera button. Even so.. this still isnt 100% a fix.
I may have to resort in going back to camerazoom+

Have you tried going back to stock? It might be software related. I have used just about all the settings, manual and auto, and I have yet to have a problem yet.

Maybe it was something you removed thinking it was bloat that caused this. I know with the s4 if you delete Samsung hub auto rotate breaks (so stupid, what one has to do with the other idk). Did you have this problem before debloat?

This problem has been solved with the latest original update, i.e. V10h Open Europe.
My concern, however, isn't about the auto focus, but rather the image quality when talking pictures in low light condition. The result is often disappointing. When there's adequate light, the picture generated is great
I include some pics taken with this phone so you can see for yourself

You can say that again. But I once had HTC Sensation and SGS2, the camera did quite well in low light settings.

Unlocking the bootloader removes certain system apps, among them being the calculator, flashlight, sound recorder, etc. You can find the link to the calc apk over in this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243839).

Your bootloader is either locked, or you've installed the separate calculator apk.
Not sure if this is the case on your phone but over on the AT&T side a few of the guys lost the calculator app after unlocking with HTCdev

Save yourself the head ache..download the app above..it looks Exactly like the one that comes with the HTC One except for the color of the calculator itself..But this one gives you more options..And just so you know I too didn't have the calculator app when i bought the phone..Even before i rooted I did not have it so at least I believe you

So your bootloader is locked, then. There are a few (5?) apps that get REMOVED when you unlock the bootloader, and the only way to get them back is by installing the packs or flashing a ROM with those specific apps included. Your phone straight out of the box will have those apps, but if you unlock the bootloader, they will no longer be there and you will have to re-install them.
Glad this has been answered. Thank you for the post. I know I am not going crazy and was a bit perplexed that people were asking for the cal apk.
I dont root or do any bootloader unlocking--i am typical joe Q public...

Not a huge fan of the update- MMS won't send on WiFi calling mode, calls won't connect, and HD Voice kind of sucks- it makes the volume about 1/3 of what it typically is. Anyone else sharing in these frustrations?
How do I get rid of this? I have tried to take this update but it does nothing. I am still on DV6 and this update is DV7. I think the reason that it doesn't take is because I have uninstalled some system apps. Do I have to go back to stock for this update to take?

I concur. While wifi calling is nice for really weak signal areas it's apparently useless for areas with NO signal. I've read that you need to connect to a tower in order to use the wifi calling which seems pretty stupid and backwards.
Also, I'm having trouble receiving SMS while the wifi calling option is turned on. Did anyone test this at all before pushing it to the masses?
