Anyone else noticed the camera shutter speed and focus issues since the JB update?
I use to be able to take fast, focused snaps. It takes seriously longer to get a good crisp shot.
Any pointers?

I haven't noticed that issue. Are you on stock or custom ROM?
I'm on Omega JB ROM.
I'm stock all the way. Have had my JB for about a week, played with all the camera settings & it still sucks!

I can see your point about the focus issue but the shutter speed seems similar to me.
Me To, i'm on ARHD 13 and the foucs got quite slow.
on ICS it was perfect

I think the S3 camera is Ok, but just so... OK... nothing special.
I think my neo takes better pictures by far...

Really? I think the S3 takes some of the best pictures out of most android devices.
I'm getting very blurry pictures even with anti shake enabled and also poor focusing

I have tested with s2 S3 and neo on big TV and the neo pictures where sharper. The only thing that was good was filming with full HD. But get the same results from s2.

I'm using completely stock.
Noticed setting storage type back to phone from SD fixed the lag. Think it needs a defrag somehow.

Although it doesnt help you. I actually found the camera to be much better in JB. Most of my shots previous would either not focus or blur and the only way I could get a decent shot was to use the Best Shot feature. Now it snaps well each time.
I hope we get the PhotoSphere in the 4.1.2 update that looks ace!
Camera is not worse. Its more grainy for videos thats what i noticed. But i prefer it that way. More noise and looks like blu-ray video. I can use deblock later if i wanna edit the file

Check out pro capture in the play store, its a much better alternative. Which is a shame because its obviously not the hardware thats letting this phone down.

Have you made sure your lense is clean?
For the Price Samsung could do better. You have Xperia s with 12 MP and good lens. For a top device. ..

Still, I'd go with Nexus
I did too. In 2 weeks with luck my phone arrives :3

As said in the title...
Here are my results... https://plus.google.com/108758880122370937236/posts/8jbVpuv3M7m I don't want to use the tablet as a camera but at now it's my only Photosphere device and I'd like to get something better.
Have you had any luck with camera quality?

I don't think the picture is bad at all. Remember, it's only 5mp.

I didn't expect a lot, so I'm not disappointed. I did do a comparison of cameras on old and new Nexus 7:

The back camera certainly seems to be a lot redder in the same light as the front camera.
Considering the size of the lens - those are pretty nice pictures. You might need an SLR with a big chunk of glass for what you want.

It's what I expected from a 5 megapixel camera. That's why they still cameras .
I'll assume you are right
Not a big SLR, compact cameras would do the job

It's alright with good lightning. Other then that, I agree the camera is horrible. Keep in mind it's 5mp, you should of already knew that before you bought it.

At least Asus & Google had include the back camera unlike the first generation.

Lol. It's a tablet. If you want a great camera sorry but like I did... You have to buy a camera! The camera isn't bad for it being a cheap tablet that does a billion different things and also has a 1080p screen.
We all know that N4 has a very bad camera..specially in low light photos..photos have very much dots..They seems good on mobile but when zoomed even a little its pathetic.
Was anyone able to find out what the issue is..? is it software or hardware..?
If its software related than is there any solution..?

Low light noise, no tap to snap picture, horrendous flash photos.
It's just not as good as the Galaxy S2+ I was going to sell.
The camera is the biggest disappointment for me as a one week N4 owner. I'm seriously considering selling the phone.
I tried the Moto X apk, which seemed to be a little better on the noise front, but I can't live with that aspect ratio. "Focal" was even worse than the stock camera.

No We are just expecting a decent camera..coz i think its a make or break feature for a smartphone..accept it or not..camera is not good enough on N4. And please i was just asking a question, its not about what i expect.
Just FYI i have a DHD and its camera is great..even in low light
agree camer not good..but it depends on what u use most..it is subjective..for me this is a perfect phone for daily driver

I just wanted to know whats causing this Low light Noise..i love the phone and i am using it from last 6 months..but if someone could figure out the root cause than i guess it could be solved..
I don't in any way think the N4 has a terrible camera. The pictures of takes for me at least are clear and sharp.. Way better than my S2 and honestly look just as good as my brothers Optimus g and NY wife's Note 2..
Not sure what your talking about..

Yea, I concur. I'm able to take great pictures with this phone. I'm not sure what the issue is. I mean I did come from the Evo 4G to this though, that phone had so many camera issues so I guess anything is better.
After reading around the subject, the only thing I've that gives me any hope is someone suggested using Snap Camera HDR app and fixing the ISO at 100. I'll be giving it a try in the hope of reducing noise in the pictures my N4 makes. Ta-ta, PmT
I am not expecting a 5DmkIII quality but I was expecting the camera to be as good as the one on my Galaxy S2 Plus (also 8MP).
My camera works great for a phone.

I think the camera is not bad but not the greatest either. What I hate about it is that you HAVE to tap the screen to take a pic. Is there a way to enable one of the volume buttons to take a pic or something?

Have you not upgraded to 4.3? On 4.3, you can use the volume rocker to take pics.

you dont have to tap the screen. long press the shoot button until its focused, then release. or in 4.3, you can hold down the down volume button then releae when focused.
btw some recent photos..
This phone sold for $200, of you want better camera you're going to have to shell out more money for other phones with better camera.
If you want less noise in low light shoot with iso 100. Or get n HTC One.

I have been running 4.3 since it was leaked and have had no issues. I did have a couple of apps that were misbehaving, but once the devs updated for 4.3 compatibility, they were fixed.

Hi, I'll be switching from my gs4 to this phone soon. Can anyone give me a few pros and cons of this phone? Also I'm seeing this thing about "TF" files. What is that or is it just the file format specific to Sony phones?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Tft file is the actual rom (not custom rom) u can flash to ur device using the flash tool which is mentioned a lot on here lol.
Pros:
Would take too long to list lol
Cons:
For me to be honest non so far except that using the camera heats up the device which im not too bothered about.
-Also could be louder was expexting more from stereo speakers not saying it's not loud lol
-headphone volume output is not the greatest either a lot better on iphones n samsungs (not only z2 same was on my z so i guess sony is limiting the volume for our safety lol)

I'm not seeing any "cons" either coming from a S3. It truly is an outstanding phone.
The battery life is simply awesome!

Lots of pros, such as amazing battery life, clean UI, nice design and much more. The cons though for me is that I could think of nothing for a con.

To me it never was, i previously used Z... Why do you need remowe battery? The only reason could be if the phone lags (stopped working) but this have easy solution by holding volume+ and pwr.button you can force restart the device from any case

Not an issue. I'm getting home from 12-15 hour days with 65-75% battery left. I know that battery life is subjective, but compared to Nexus 5 I was getting home with 25-40%. Nexus was on PA with a kernel that helped improve battery over stock.

Hi, It is probably more productive for you to write what you need from a mobile phone.
ALL the flag ship brands at present have very decent handsets be they Sony, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia and Apple. Three different operating systems. What is your preference? Then take a look at the UI, again what is your preference. The options run from the highly specified UI of Samsung and some HTC's to the Google nexus range of vanilla OS.
Signal strength is a must for me.
I prefer Android OS
I like a light UI so Sony if my preferred UI.
Camera doesn't even come on to my list.
Quality of materials and construction rates very high on my list, to that end Sony and HTC are good also Apple but Apples OS is not my choice.
HTC make very VERY nice flagship mobiles BUT signal strength is their weak area, I live way out in the country side with very poor connectivity.
Nokia has had the best signal strength of any mobile I have owned BUT I don't like the OS on present day Nokia.
I listen to music, that is my area of expertise. Nothing to date can match the Sony through headphones for a sound experience.
So..........It's not so much what we like but what fits your needs, Good news is you are spoiled for choice. :highfive:
