So I've seen an issue occur when taking selfies, note only on the system camera app. It's as if the color saturation and brightness are way off. Three of the photos were taken in selfie mode, the clear photo was taken while I was recording with the front camera. Recording is fine and looks as it should, the wide selfie also looks normal. I tested selfies in snapchat as well and it works as it should, I also tested the system camera in other apps like the google messages app and it will take front facing photos normally. I'm not too sure what's going on here and want to see if anyone else has had this issue and if they have resolved it.
I am going to just rewipe the phone as clearly this is a sort of system bug.
Things about my phone:
Originally ATT S7 Edge
I flashed the latest U firmware on this device and the TMobile modem firmware.
I didn't have any issues occur until now.
The attachments are too large for XDA to host so heres a link to the photos I took, hosted on drop box.

Anyone notice this strange problem:
After updating to Froyo, about 1/4 of the time when using the camera flash, I get a dark picture. The flash goes off every time it is supposed to, but the camera sensor takes the picture after the flash goes off, resulting in a very dark picture as if the flash was disabled. Take another picture and it usually works.
Happens in stock camera app and 3rd party apps too.
2.2 rooted, stock rom, etc. (Happened before I rooted 2.2)
I've noticed this. What else I've noticed is that the photo may be dark, but it's still very high quality. It isn't grainy and rough like a photo taken without a flash. It leads me to believe that the camera is adjusting the settings to take more of a "true" lighting with high quality.
It's not -- I often take pictures inside a dark bar at night and you care barely see anything on then and it's a noisy mess. I did some more test shots yesterday and it really is really is funny the EXIF data shows the flash being used, even though clearly it wasn't synced up properly.
I also notice that it is usually the first pictures or so when you start the camera. If you take many successive shots, it doesn't happen........
I tried switching from 3mp to 2mp to see if that helps. I find the lens to be pretty low resolution that even 3mp is pushing things.
Does anyone else's camera seem overly grainy?
Mine appears incredibly grainy before the picture is taken and still doesn't come out as well as many sample pictures I have seen online.
Edit: I looks like my camera is permanently zoomed in...is there a way to zoom out that I am missing?
Mine only looks bad in low light. Maybe make sure its not in macro mode. In the camera app go to settings and make sure the focus mode is set to auto focus.
I have the same exact issue.
Mine is grainy too. Any tips?
Grainy or noisy? Pics please.
I have the ATT Galaxy Note 3. I've noticed that my pics are a mix of focused and blurry even when I get the green square.
Yesterday, I went to take a picture and it focused very clearly and offered up the green square. When I tapped the screen while holding it very still to take the picture, it went to focus again and snapped the pic at one of the worst blurry moments instead of waiting another second to get clear again.
It does this on AUTO setting and HDR setting and whether stabilization is on or offer..doesn't matter. It still happens.
A second question, why would the auto-focus leave me with a red square instead of a green one?
Are you using the standard app or another one? I use Camera Zoom Fx. Might be worth a try. Also, for whatever reason, a red box would indicate not in focus, if green indicates focus. I found the Samsung camera app to be terrible.
Don't use the stock app. Use another camera app. ZoomFX, ProCapture, FV5, Shotcontrol... Anything but Stock. Stock is rubbish.
1 problem with stock camera, it doesn't has the option to select macro focus.
So, I've been having some issues with the focus on the rear facing camera for the V20
This is a pic with the Wide Angle Lens:

It's crisp and clear (ish)
This is a pic with the normal lens:

It's blurry as hell, unless I'm like two inches away:

I've tried in both Auto and Manual mode, and have tried the focus in both Auto and Manual.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
P.S. sorry for the imgur links, I haven't posted enough to be allowed links in side my post.
Nope. Just issues with longer focus in darker scenes but that is every phone. Lens clean?
Did you find any solution, I've the same issue.
#4
i have same issues
any solutions?
Tap to focus
I find just pointing it and clicking doesn't set focus properly with some scenes
It's a bit odd as the G4 would have zero issues with this and the V20 also has IR AF
Any Solution yet?
I am also having the same issue, the focus doesn't work, neither manually nor in auto mode. Sometimes, just sometimes, it luckily does work, but most of the time it doesn't.. i dont understand what the problem is..
Recently, the camera was acting way weird, like showing dark picture with green lines, and sometimes it wouldnt even open, it showed just a black screen, i cleared data of gallery and camera, which resolved the issue, but still void of ability to focus.
Has anyone been having this issue with Snapchat? The front facing "flash" is supposed to flood the screen with bright white light to illuminate selfie pics. At some point it has stopped working correctly and only produces a dim grey light that illuminates nothing (see screenshot). I've tried uninstalling/re-installing, Wiping cache, even tried older versions from all mirror. All produce the same results. Now, the actual camera apps front flash works perfectly, so this problem is specific to Snapchat. I'm wondering if it's hardware related. Or a setting somewhere that I messed up. Anybody else having this issue with their S8?
Here's the screenshot
