My wife have a GT-I9505.
She seems to think that camera quality on Lollipop is worse than that on 4.4.2 - actually quite a bit.
Have anyone here noticed the same? Is there a thread in this forum that discusses the camera quality of GT-I9505 before and after Lollipop?

I used to own an S4 (I9505) when it was first released (4.2.2), however, after Sammy did a rear Camera Firware update the camera developed really slow shutter speed (lag), causing blurry pictures..
As Im now on WP8 (Lumia 920), Im thinking of buying an S4 (9505) as a backup when the mood takes me as I do like android, but sadly here in the UK, the 9500 is very rare and very expeensive, so question is:
Did sammy fix the shutter speed lag on the I9505, so pictures look like they do on the I9500.. crisp, clear and sharp with a fast shutter like the S3.
Thanks

Yup
Hello,
it might be asked a lot of times, but I, personally, cant find any info on how to improve Samsung Galaxy S4's camera.
I updated my S4 from 4.2.2 to 4.3 (and regret it deeply) and found that fantastic picture quality from 4.2.2 version is poor at best with 4.3.
I tried to change ISO, picture quality to 13 and then to 9.6 MP, update camera firmware but the picture quality is still poor.
I would like to go back to 4.2.2 version but because of KNOX Warranty I'm a bit scared (still have 1.5 years of varranty).
So I would like you to ask you all for help - is it possible to get picture quality to 4.2.2 version's or maybe somehow get 4.2.2 version's camera app. I don't know, my knowledge is very limited when it comes to Android stuff.
Hope you can help me.
Sincerely,
a new member
U cant come back to 4.2.2 without void the warranty
What do you mean by poor quality? I'm on 4.3 and i've realised a lot of my pics are blurry, i just assumed i've not been holding the camera still when taking pictures but it's happening quite often. When i think about it, i don't remember it happening when i first got the phone.
edit: Here's a good example of a recent pic that has come out partially blurry, this doesn't happen on every photo and it's rarely blurry across the whole thing, notice how the image is much sharper near the bottom, and how bad it looks towards the top. I'm sure this is a software problem.

Would different camera software solve this problem (or at least help me troubleshoot?) or is this something that needs to be fixed with an updated kernel?
Hey Guys,
I dont know if many of you have noticed this but.. I feel that nexus 4 camera now takes better sharper images with stock app then jellybean... Any of you guys still on older version so we can do the comparison?
I am stock unrooted.. by the look of it images look sharper and more detailed then earlier
I'm running Stock 4.4.2 no-root, no nothing. Ever since I updated OTA my camera sucks. Is someone else experiencing the same? It's just whole lot of awful pictures now
Same problem here - I actually found this thread trying to figure out why my pictures suck. They're grainy as hell and i get alot of blurry pics if the flash is off.

wow i have the opposite
i get more sharper and detailed images..
weird I find the camera quality much better with Kitkat.
I didn't notice much difference.. But I would say 4.4.2 is a bit better than 4.3! I'M under the impression that the camera'a auto-focus is a bit faster too
looks for Jishnu´s LG Camera, here in xda, you will be amazed.
was there any fix to the overly blue-purple tint to the photos? i remember when i first got my nexus 4 the pictures always had a very blue or purple tint, so bad in fact that i completely stopped using it for picture taking. but now that 4.4 has come out i wonder if there has been any change? or did anyone ever come out with a mod or patch for the bad camera tint?
bump
anyone?
Don't know about the blue tint, but I always find the photos kind of washed out. Just use Picasa to fix the white balance.
Guys.. Do you agree that the camera quality of our i9500 device sucks? It is very strange to notice that comparing to the iPhone camera it is a couple of time worse! How can the camera of the Galaxy S4 Active shoot videos and make photos much more better quality than this device? Is there any development thread here where people create patches or camera mods to uncrease the quality? I saw a video recorded on an S4 Active in a car at night with only the dim light of the car on... and the video was so damn stable and the lights where so damn optimized.... how come the i9500 camera be so low on quality? Can you advice me anything to rise up this thing?

Make sure your lens is clean! If it's not 100% clean, your camera will perform A LOT worse.

I use an I9505, and we have the Galaxy S6 camera, which makes our video very stabilized. Perhaps you have that too availible?

We have a port for that but the ROM it'self is soooo very unstable... What I am asking is maybe that there are some settings that are limited or some blocked ones, who knows...Because I read the cameras are the same between S4 models... so why should the quality be different?
For example if a light gets a little in the photo, that side of the photo will be very blury, but on an S4 active you never get such mess. On some websites they write that Active has a Back-Illuminated Sensor and i9500 doesnt. Is it because of this? Because other websites write that Active doesnt have and i9500 has... It is very confusing...
Anyway, if any Active user is reading now, let's post some comparing images for people to understand what I am talking about.
Even others say that their i9500 camera is very low on picture stabilization/ focus comparing to s2 and s3 models.... Why did Samsung make it like that?
Does anyone notice that camera quality after lollipop is worse than kitkat specially in low light
i compared between the two stock roms and im sure about this
any solution for this ?
