Hi guys. The camera quality on the snapchat app in really poor. Any reason why? Or how I can fix this. On the galaxy 3 or IPhone is way better.
Hi everyone. I think a lot of users use snapchat on the LG G2. The camera quality in snapchat is very very bad its horrable. However, in the galaxy s4 or nexus 5 is much better. I dont know why anyone noticed that ? is there any fix ? I have tried almost all ROMs and nothing changed. I attached a photo taken in snapchat. Can you see how bad is it ? is this issue just on the LG G2 ? I Really don't know. Compering to iphone snapchat is much much better
The LG G2 has a lot of camera issues at the moment. Hopefully the OTA will fix these.
Hey, I recently got my G2 and I love it. The only thing that really annoys me is the camera. When indoors in a fairly well lit room, it lags. I'm not talking about the focus, but the framerate is really low and what appears on the screen is behind what is actually happening, on both front and rear cameras. My old S IIIs camera performed alot better than this, and it's frustrating whenever I even open any camera involving app (stock camera app, snapchat, google camera etc.) Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this how all G2s are, or is mine faulty?
The g2 camera is a pos. It produces a ton of noise in fair to low light and it takes in not enough light to perform properly. You can try installing a camera mod which I did yesterday after I was *****ing on here about the same issues. I installed xdabbab's mod and it seems a hair better than the stock camera but it still sucks. The galaxy s3/4/5 iPhone 5/5s and all the Nokia lumias all perform better then the G2.
If you are tooted try installing the camera mods and see if they help you. I'm just spoiled by better camera phones .

OK so coming from an LG G2 with an awesome camera even in low light, my biggest concern is camera performance as I just bought a note 3 to replace a G2 with a screen defect. I must likely won't have root as I am sure the phone will arrive with lollipop already installed. I know the lenovo camera is pretty good and on par with the G2 if you hooks it stay on low light mode. I also understand that I won't have OIS either.
Is the sick camera app good in all conditions or its there something better I can use without root for now? Is there an S6 OR N4 camera port that doesn't require root? I ask that because it seems Samsung did a great job with image processing for point and shoot in those two asps. Thanks for any advice!

Either the Google camera app or VSCO Cam they're both really nice
Hello guys i need some help with my girlfriends lg g2 d802 (european version).
We bought this phone with waranty and installed stock lollipop rom.
Camera during the day is ok but with low light zooming is quite terrible, 8 out of 10 pictures are blurry and not zoomed corectly.
Im reading that lg g2 on kitkat is much better phone, faster and it has better camera app.
Is that correct, should i flash for examlpe cloudy rom (kitkat based)? which version do you recommend?
I didnt search but if someone is willing to send me some links and instruction for flashing LG G2 i would be grateful
Thanks in advance for your reply's!
No one ?

First try this. It's an advanced camera which is pretty good.

by zooming you mean focusing
no one with the common sense uses zooming on mobile phones
low light performance is average or bad whichever rom and camera you use... but it's can be a little bit better with Xcam and advanced drivers (on Cloudy roms - you can just install the Xcam app because the advanced driver is already in the rom)
there aren't many differences in camera performance on Kitkat or Lollipop - but Kitkat has an option of basic RAW photography if you use an app like Mi2raw...
Xcam + advanced driver + Xcam LG Settings app (optional and not free on Playstore) - gives you the best camera quality/options combo you can find for LG G2 (and it works both on Kitkat and Lollipop stock based roms, i.e. Cloudy rom or somboons stock rom)

Yes i ment focusing )). Thanks guys, i already installed xcam but without advanced drivers because i didnt wont to root phone, it had guarantee... It is better than stock, but low light performance is still bad. Not average, bad . 8 out of 10 pictures are blurry. Very dissapointing for flagship and how much it was paid. I was thinking about G3 or G4 but G3 has weak battery as G4 which also has bad motherboards and bugs with calling, my godfather boughte one before few months and he is very dissapointed in battery and bugs like this when he can not hang up, screen stays black, its not proximity sensor, many people complain.... So i think i'v done with LG for now. Thanks for your reply's i was thinking to downgrade to android 4 if the camera performance was better (focus) in low light. Thanks again for reply!!!
don't forget that G2 had the one of the best cameras 4 years ago... today - it's just mediocre...
if you want a good low light performance camera - start looking for the devices that have low f-stop optics (f2.0 or lower)...
G2 has f2.4 lens, which was good in its time...
cheers

btw LG G3 has exactly the same camera hardware as G2...
LG didn't upgrade the camera until G4...

Yes you are right, if one want low light performance he should be looking for f1.8-2, but, my old S3 had f2.6 and had quite good low light performance . I think driver is just bad. Heard that on G3 camera is improved... still g2 has very good daylight performance, similar to mine Vibe Shot. Camera is very usable. Just focusing in low light is very bad. Phone is great in performance and battery btw...
Thank you for your time/answer...

8 megapixels on 1/3" sensor size (samsung galaxy s3) is much better for low light than 13 megapixels on the same sensor size in LG G2... at least on paper
f2.4 and f2.6 is a little difference (a half-stop difference, something like taking the ISO down from 800 to 600)... the larger pixels on a same size sensor will always give you better low light performance... and as i can see - S3 has a digital image stabilization - maybe this option is crucial as well...
when you do indoor or low light mobile photography - make sure you hold the device without any shaking (due to decreased shutter speed in low light) - here is why G3 might be better because it has an infrared focus beam (and that is the only upgrade from the G2 camera)
btw why do you need good low light camera performance on a mobile device anyway? (or is it just me that doesn't take pictures in low light on a mobile device )

Yes you are right for pixel size, bigger pixels are better for low light performance because they can absorbe more light... Same is for sensor size. That's the reason why newer mobile phones have less mpx but bigger sensor and bigger pixels... There is no point to have so many mpx I think up to 12 are enough. Sony sensors are very good also Samsung isocell... But driver is of same importance... And camera software. LG G4 has phenomenal camera Sony imx234 with f1.8. pictures are just great.
G3 yes has infrared or laser autofocus I can't remember and I think that's the main reason camera has better focus in low light environment.
My vibe shot have Samsung isocell sensor, OIS and infrared focus. That really helps in low light...
Of course camera on phone has limitations. It can not be compared to DSLR in any way ))
