picture on my phone
is it the phone?..if not can it be fixed?

If the phone's screen was bad, then the screenshot wouldn't look as bad. That's because the screenshot app doesn't take a pic of what's on it screen. It's taken from the rendering coming out of the GPU.
So don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your screen. Its probably the ROM.... or maybe someone somehow screwed up your GPU .

Seems to be a problem with the gallery app. I have/had the same problem. I wanted to have a specific picture as my wallpaper and the endquality looked horrible like in your screenshot. I read somewhere while googling, that the gallery app downscales the pictures in some way (correct me if im wrong).
If you want to make that picture as a wallpaper and want to keep the quality i can recommend the app "Crop Wallpaper". It lets you crop your pictures while keeping it's original quality and sets it as your wallpaper.

360 photo...a clarification needed....

I was just reading the review of the SGS 4 on GSMArena for fun and came to see something weird (according to me). Maybe am just completely missing something.....any help would be good
My SGS 4 seemingly lacks the 360 panorama mode. but on the review, it indeed had the 360 panorama as a mode to choose from.
take a look at the screenshot of the different modes from the review.

also I quote from the review...
"Let's go over the different modes. There are standard modes like Rich Tone (HDR), Panorama, Night and Sports. Panoramas are pretty impressive, they go a full 360° circle or more and can be as big as 60MP (note that if you hold the phone vertically, the panorama image will have nearly more than twice the resolution). "
"Then we get into the more interesting shots. 360 photo is Samsung's name for Photo Sphere, which creates a spherical panorama, similar to those in Street View. "
am using wanamlite 1.8 with many many modifications of my own,but personally I have never ever seen that 360 panorama mode on my S4 ever. am using it for some 6 months or so....
awaiting answers, please don't bash

[Q] Note 4 camera imposing tilt shift?

Is it just me or does it seem like the Note 4 camera app is imposing a sort of tilt shift effect on every photo?

This appears to be happening on every single photo I take... even after the latest update. I'm using stock settings on the stock camera app in auto mode.

That's just the depth of field effect you get from having a wide aperture. A wide aperture means more light hitting the sensor, but a narrower depth of field (only objects near the focal point will be in focus). It usually means the part you're focusing on will be sharper and brighter though. I prefer this look as it's closer to what you get with an actual camera. Haven't played much with the camera or settings, but if you can manually adjust the aperture (bigger f number means smaller aperture) you'll get more in focus but potentially less sharp in low light due to longer exposures. Everything in photography is a trade off between exposure time and depth of field.

Problem with front camera GCAM

Does anoyone know why I'm getting photos like this in low light on front camera when i turn off hdr?
Photos are messy with colors, desaturated.
I try different versions but every time i get this color deformation.
When I turn on hdr I get good quality, but I don't want hdr.

Did you try turning on "improve in low light"?

Same **** with +hdr turn off hdr and works fine

Try another variant of gcam
Some of them have this issue and some don't
Try what works best for you

I tried more than 5 main versions of gcam, (arnova v6, v1.6, cstark,...) But all of them havee same problem.
In versions which have option to turn on improve low light I checked this, but problem was still here.

Try this
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam_5.1.018_by_SerJo87_1.6RC2_test4d.apk

same issue on my mia1... I m using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-08-25 version. When I hdr off, front camera take dark photo as your photo.

Go to fix camera api2 and disable Remove Green tint on front camera.

Most out of MI A2 stock camera app

Just wanted to share way I found to get most out of MI A2 camera without rooting and installing Gcam.
First of all use HDR with contrast at lowest, other 2 settings should be best kept at normal. This ensures you get every detail retained in the photo, for some reason Xiaomi did awful job with adding contrast to photos and crushes all blacks.
Then I played with snapseed way too much to create filter that I can apply to all photos as a default, filter that brings back contrast without sacrificing detail. Lowest contrast setting also reveals some indigo noise Xiaomi tryed to hide by crushing blacks and I found good compromise with that too.
Just go to qr looks in snapseed and scan image below, then you can find filter in styles menu and apply it.
So here it is, so happy with it.
