So, I was playing with the photo sphere app, but I can't manage to get it to be a full sphere. There are 2 black parts on the floor and sky. I don't get an option to take a picture to cover those parts. Does anybody know how to? The ones I have seen on Google+ are a full sphere
Thanks

When you move the camera up it shows blue circles where to shoot

Just played around, in portrait mode you can do the full sphere, although in landscape mode you can't do a specific region on the top and bottom

I'm having a hard time getting my spheres to stitch together properly. Am I just moving too much from my original position or what? How are you guys managing to spin around in a circle while not moving off of the fixed starting point? My best results have come from sitting in a spinning chair at home, but that is highly impractical when out and about.
Move YOURSELF around the phone, not the phone around you, as if you were to place it on a tripod to take better photospheres.

i know a camera app is not natively installed,
but can anyone of you lucky folk to be playing with your nexus take a reasonable light level typical picture so i and others can get an idea of the image quality?
be much appreciated.
cheers.
p.s i'm thinking of bodging up a little mirror attachment to 'convert' the camera to (at least) 'upwards facing' or in other words, if the tab is held flat, forward facing...
i like dodgy things like that...
Arstechnica has some pictures taken during their review. Also they take them from both within Skype, and using a Camera App built for the N7 on the market. Huge difference, but its still a low end camera.
Here's a pic in my house with only the 4 kitchen lights on. http://www.imgur.com/u06De.jpeg
cheers, i guess its 'ok' for its purpose.
I got used to my ipod 4th gen camera for the odd snap when out and about, it seems it should do that job ok, and sure app thats aren't compatible will get an update to optionally use it. kind of kills 'augmented reality' though doesn't it? was the new big thing, and now, uh, nah sorry google says no.
worse cam is about the only loss of selling my 'pod i think, but will probably upgrade my phone package which should have a reasonable cam as they do these days.
cheers.

amusing contrast in the two pics there! -
i'm imagining you winning the pink mac girl over with your nice gadgets & N7 in the cafe or wherever then taking her back to... uh flash-beezy's room.
"oh... "
but maybe she'll won't care by then. my room is also a tip but my gf is past noticing, worn down.
anyway with a bit of natural light the pic isn't too bad, indoor is as expected, but for snaps to msg to folk or make note of things, seems ok.
thanks - keep the 'what N7 owners take pictures of' coming...

Lol. Haven't been able to put my Nexus down
Plus my Fiancé is suppose to clean her crap from in front of my TV LOL
just to mention, i see that instagram has updated their app to be nexus7 camera compatible, as it wasn't before apparantly.
so you can make those dodgy pics more presentable.
in other news, initial tests of my 'angled mirror attachment' idea seem ok using ipod as a tester. just need a little mirror that is less scratched than the one i've got at the moment.
i think being able to have a 'forward facing' (when tablet held flat) cam meaning you can visually frame things up would be handy for alot of folk.

Zoom into the photo and you will see white lines a the right and at the left side.
My pictures don't have such white lines. Maybe it is just a bug of your camera app? Try a different camera app and look if your white lines are still present

yes i mean the two white lines on the edge of the photo. it usually happens when taking pictures in dark environments. i also have camera zoom fx on my phone and tried that and the lines still appear.
anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I am. It seems to be a bug cuz it happens randomly. Can't really replicate it. Tends to happen after messing with zoom.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I had several pictures get funky on me the other day after messing with the zoom. sucks because they were of my little boys birthday, no idea what happens
Same issue on both of my phones and it happens with my friend as well. I figured out a way to reproduce this. Turn flash off and take the image in low light. For example with the room lights off and just the lighting of your monitor will do it. The darker the better. Doing it this way seems to trigger it 8-9/10 times. My friend tested while at work with office, but was still able to trigger it taking pictures of a picture of the serial number on the bottom of his laptop. No zooming was used.
The lines that come up on the right are always 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pixel from the right. On some occasions I have been able to get it to come up as the 2nd and 4th at the same time. On the left side it seems to always come up between the 16th and 20th pixel from the left. I will have to look closer at all of the images to confirm it is always like this.
I am not even sure what to do now...
Thanks for bringing it up.
I just noticed it as well.
I'm also seeing this! bugs the **** out of me!
Mine as well

Kinda odd that since the 4.2.2 update I have begun to experience this bug for the first time as well.
Anyone notice this issue on any other camera app besides the stock?
I hadn't noticed, but mine does the exact same thing. I could always crop that out I guess...
What's worse is the blurring effect I get. You really see it on the hand and ear. Anybody have this or know how to fix? Stock, rooted. Happens on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2

Turn off HDR. Since it averages three images, it's not good for moving subjects
Just tested it on Camera Zoom FX app using TTZip's steps and was able to reproduce the problem there too. Could this be considered a hardware defect?
Also experiencing this.
Hi,
I recently received an i9505, I previously had a HTC One X. Today I was taking some photos indoors and the pictures are so noisey. They are worse than my One X and my inlaws S3. They seem to lack sharpness, the videos too - very soft. Im loving the phone but they camera in general is dissapointing I find.
Also, the lens seems to have a sticker on it that I cant remove. It doesnt cover the middle / lens but around it. Is that normal??
Thanks

It was a sticker eventually got rid of it thank god..

Get a real camera.
Or set ISO manually to 400
Hey guys
My S5 is just 5 days old and on my camera app it appeared today a black halo like black circle just in the middle of the screen (pic attached). I tried restating the phone, cleaning the lens and nothing. As you can see, the circle is visible in the actual picture. Have you seen this before?
Just note that I left in the plastic that wraps around the camera lens because I still don't have a case and wanted to avoid scratches to the lens. I just took it out after noticing the halo but is still the same.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Can you try downloading Google camera or another camera app of choice and see if it is still there? I would probably try a factory reset if that does not work, and then return it if a reset doesn't work.

Just tried Google camera and same results... Will return it tomorrow... Hopefully the won't give me a hard time because it's rooted

I've had this phone a couple of days and taking outside or inside photos near a window is a nightmare! Photos have a bad blur around the window or outside! Maybe it's just me but I'm really not impressed with it! Photos look a bit misty! Is it me or is it this camera?

maybe you've left the stock transparent sticker on your lens...
btw even dslr cameras struggle in taking clear pictures without good polarizing filter glass on the lens... so...
being a dslr camera owner - g2 has one of the best cameras i've seen on the mobile device... i was stunned with the image quality, sharpness and color...
if you're rooted and have custom recovery - try xdabbeb's camera mod
Thinking it could be the lens cover!!! If so might just sell it lol

Hi Again
I caved in an bought another g2 to see if my blurred pictures were a hardware fault or just due to a crappy g2 camera, looks like my new g2 takes pictures of simular quality to my s4
Sorry to say but sounds like your g2 camera module needs replacing or the phone itself.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
This was my old g2 with the same pic. I think the glass scratches on the lens had something to do with it.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
Although, i still think the s4 is crisper and cleaner (but a bit dimmer) at indoor shots with incandescent lighting.
