Anyone else's preview screen when taking pictures or videos is black? Why doesn't it show the viewfinder?
Also, I posted this question 2 hours ago but the thread was removed? What gives? If a thread is deleted at least PM the poster and explain.
Thanks everyone, this has seriously been bugging me and I'm not sure if it's a problem with my Note only.

I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean that when you tap on the camera app, it opens the camera interface, but you only see black? But when you click a photo, it comes out fine?
If so, it seems to be an issue with the software.
Yeah that's exactly it! Anyone else!?

The new model of google smartphone.
they wirte on the selling page"Amazing Photo Sphere camera you’ll have to see to believe.
The first phone with 360° panoramas.
It’s like no camera you’ve ever seen. Up down and all around you, with Nexus 4 it’s more than panoramic, it’s like you’re actually there."
and can anyone show more about the : 360° panoramas about this phone
Check out some examples on Google+: https://plus.google.com/photos/110023707389740934545/albums/5808606988734372865
The images are only a 360°C sphere when uploaded onto Google+, on all other occasions they're just flat huge panorama-like photo's, made of 20+ photo's stitched together.
Has anyone actually managed a perfect picture using this 360 camera app?
If you check those examples. https://plus.google.com/photos/110023707389740934545/albums/5808606988734372865/5815232959605498370
This one ^ This is the similar to the result I get though mine are much worse. The bits where the parts don't match or doubled up....
When I shot a photoshere, it worked in my mobile but when I shared it to Google+, it was like just a photo, without sphere button on it. How did you do it? , sorry for the dumb question.

It's easy to get perfect if you shoot landscapes. I've got some great ones while hiking/snowshoeing. Close up objects are difficult to get right. There is a thread around here somewhere with tips on how to improve your shots. The tip I remember is to keep the phone in the same place in space and rotate it rather than you to get the shot.

This app right here. Has a bunch of awesome shots.

Yes, I completed the shot. It works in Gallery and if I copy it to PC and upload to G+ it works too. Dunno what went wrong with either Gallery or G+ in my mobile that prevented me from doing just that.

To get a perfect shot you need to rotate the phone about the lens, and not your body. Now do you see the problem? It's pretty much impossible to achieve without external devices.

I was replying to that post about shooting panoramas.
But that was a good comeback I admit.

It may have been more clear what he was replying to if he quoted the post but the point is far from nonsense seeing as it's completely true. The only way to achieve a perfect photosphere is to use the camera lens as the centre of the panorama and rotate the device around that point.
I have quite a few perfect 360° shots by rotating myself not the phone.

You can take some very good photo sphere by rotating your body, but they won't be "perfect" because you are using your body as the axis instead of the camera lens. When you view a photo sphere, you are viewing it from the center point of the sphere. If you used your body as the axis, there is going to be small amount of stretching because the photos are taken at a distance from the center point of the sphere.

Are you talking about the mini planet ones or the 360° ones?
Here's one I did rotating my body ad the axis, seems pretty close to perfect I can get.

Hi all! Has anyone else noticed when viewing photos or videos through the Gallery App that there's a noticeable difference in colour? Much like using Composite over RGB Scart, the colours appear to be washed out. It even affects other apps in Multi-Window too.
Anyone?
Go into Gallery, select any album, look at all photos within that album to get an idea of how they look, then start a sideshow. You'll notice the colours are a lot more vibrant during the slideshow (like they are when using any other app) compared to when viewing photos manually. Why is this?
Auto adjust screen tone based on images turned on in settings?

It was on, but there's still a noticeable difference. I'm using an unrooted GT-N7100, running 4.1.1. It's only when viewing photos/videos in the Gallery app and videos in the Video Player app, not navigating.

When you tap 'Start Slideshow,' you can actually see the colours change for a split second before the screen goes black and starts the slideshow. You can also see this in 'Crop.'

When i first got my Nexus 7 it had an icon for the Camera and when it updated to 4.2.1 it disappeared .......so this is a dumb question
where is it and how do i use my camera ? or i can only use it on apps that need the camera?
download nexus 7 camera launcher from market. works perfect.
i don't know why they removed it in the update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
First question, are you crazy? Probably, yes...
As for the camera issue, they probably removed it because you don't use it to take pictures and it would likely only be used with apps like Skype or whatever. However, as the other guy said, the Nexus 7 camera app from the play store works perfectly. I think there is also a 4.2 camera app APK floating around these forums somewhere too.
*puts down random dismembered limb*
Nope you are just as sane as the rest of us.
So wait, people really take pictures with this thing? Isn't that like, very awkward? Pressing a button on a screen that isn't even facing you and all..
Thanks found it works great ! you guys rock

Hey Guys!
I'm trying to make a collage using 3 photos in the stock gallery, I have made a few of them. I'm using all high quality photos to make the collage, however, when I make the collage, it shows up as very grainy on the phone and on PC. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

One of the most used apps is the stock camera app. But I'm a little annoying with it. For example. When I record I like to always have it on SMOOTH 60 fps video. When I exit and resume recording, it goes back to the normal setting. Is there any way around this?
I hate this too. Anyone have a hack for this.

It doesn't end there. When trying to take a selfie the front always reverts to best face shot too.

there is a modded apk which makes 60 fps recording default.. but it's only for n900 I think there is a similar one for n9005 too.. but for other settings I dunno, I hate this too
