Foggish photos using Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody!
From what've read, I understand that Nexus 4 is based on LG phone, LG Optimus G.
One of my acquaintance bought the LG Optimus G a couple of months ago and one thing that he noticed was that the photos present some kind of "foggish" effect. It's like some kind of smoke in the picture and from he's research, he concluded that the all the Optimus G phones had this "facility". He looked at lots of reviews and he saw this problem.
So, my question: does the Nexus 4 has the same problem?
I found a site which compares the Nexus 5 camera with Nexus 4 camera here:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nexu...exus-4-spot-the-differences_id49020#3-Nexus-5
Look at the first 2 sets of pictures, especially the photo with the keyboard.
Is it me or the Nexus 4 photos present the same foggish effect?

In fact the N4 camera is really bad.

2. It is NOT my display. I tried a lot of settings and camera apps on my N4 and compared the photos with other smartphones on ONE display. You should really check your eyes. Even in good light you can see a lot of distortion and the auto-focus does not work properly.

Not mine, but good luck

The nexus fanboys all received a different device from the rest of the world that includes a magical camera sensor!
But to the OP, the nexus 4 includes the same camera as the 8mp Optimus G model. If camera performance is important to you, stay away from this device.
But the again you're looking a 1.5 year old device that launched at a starting point of 300 bucks.

First it's you're.
It's nothing about being tough or whatever other nonsense you're going on about.
When anybody denies reality because of a brand on the back of their devices. They're fanboys
The OP is asking about the foggy picture look. And the device does often produce images with it in various lighting conditions.
Oh not mine! It's your screen... Pure nonsense. It's there.
And now somebody is upset because somebody says something negative about their brand of love. R people.... Get a job / money.... So yup. That's a fanboy alright

I am also thinking about this for a long time. Getting a N4 from US isn't tough. But looking at all the problems of N4 including the famous buzzing sound I am not too interested. Again the GN price isn't coming down in India as well.

For me N4 sucks, just because of LG manufacturing.
While buying a new Gnex isn't worth, as our situation demands. So it would be better to find and buy a second hand (used) Gnex either from Ebay (I trust ebay) or from a local store and use it for around an year and then may be go for a brand new latest nexus, when they release one.

Not just on Play Store, within 24k you can simply buy and import N4 to India incl. all the taxes and duties.
But Gnex is worth the price, N4 shall never reach the heights that NS and Gnex attained. :victory:

[Q] Replace the Nexus 4 back camera with LG Optimus G camera

Hey all,
I'm not quite sure how camera software works with different manufactures. But since the LG Optimus G camera is made by LG and have the same connector, would it be possible to put it in the Nexus 4? Basically is it possible to put another phones or manufacturers back camera in another phone if it fits physically and the connector is the same.
Thanks.

Wow! great find. Does anyone know if swapping will work? Or is there some type of firmware limitation, etc etc.
That looks great, but I would love to see the Camera App. I mean the stock one looks great, but I think it lacks in features. Is that possible?

It will not be that easy, I don't think lt will work just by plugging it. But it will not be difficult for a developer to adjust the parameters or drivers to make it work with a nexus 4 rom.

It would require modding system libs and others. Is it really needed?

If it would make you feel better you can have the only $400 held on your account for me if u want ..I can't understand how it could be such a huge problem to not have $400 just extra.
