Auto flash does not work properly on the XL - Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion

As you can see by both images, 1 was auto flash and one was flash on, they both fired the flash even the auto one but for some reason it's weak and looks crap, I do not recommend using auto flash on this phone, it seems in auto mode it fires at the wrong time!

I avoid using the flash on a phone if at all possible, they never work well.

I've never had a problem on any phone when using auto flash, only when I've used some third party camera apps it's not fired correctly but not with the stock app, i even got an update for the camera a couple of days ago and that hasn't fixed it either.
I've just sent feedback to Google, does anyone know how to attach images for Google to look at with feedback reports?

Looks to me like the blue, relativley bright lights behind the toy threw the camera off. The ones that look like lit computer ventilation fans. Try a bunch of different situations and see how it does. You've picked a tough shooting situation. I actually try not to use the flash myself for indoors since phones seem to do pretty well in dim light now. But now that taking pictures is basically free (no film to develop) I take it both ways when I can.

I thought that it threw it off but the flash fired so it should have been as bright as the flash on image, i did try other scenarios and it's the same, it seems the flash is out of sync in auto mode.

Regardless of when the flash went off, to me, the slightly darker image when it was in auto looks more natural.

To be fair any image with more noise certainly does not look natural

I think he's saying it's more natural in terms of color reproduction. Noise is noise but the color does look better probably cause it actually didn't get the flash at all. If I do use flash (just way too dark of a situation) I do flash on anyway.

That's just the point i was saying, I've never had to flash on by force manually on any phone I've owned and I've had quite a few, it just seems odd it's flashing but incorrectly, just adds more fuel to the fire of Google making so many mistakes this year if I'm being honest, i love Google phones but it seems this year they have made some rookie mistakes.

Just tested auto versus on and the pics look the same.

Dissapointing camera :( With example pics!

Last night I went to take my first picture in dimly lit conditions ( I was in the Pub DJ'ing), and am hugely dissapointed!!
Firstly you cannot see anything on the screen when trying to look at the subject about to be photographed, for a second I thought the screen had tuned off it was that black!!
So I then took the photo (blind) and this was the result.......
Asside from the fact that it is blurry which was probably down to me not holding the phone steady as I was in shocked disbelief that I could not see anything, it is a terrible picture, he looks like a ghost because of the white out effect from the flash!
It really was a bad experience which is a million miles away from the day time photo taking pleasure that see results like this....
Although it is still a little washed out.
Does anyone have any tips for better quality pics?? Or a tweak that actually allows you to see what your about to photo when it's pooly lit (like in a Pub)?
Cheers!

Cheers but it's not the pink splodge i'm dissapointed with, I cant see that in any of my pics.
It's the fact that you cant see anything on the screen or focus when your in low light conditions, shooting blind, and then the white out effect!
i have the same problem too! you cant change the flash settings as far as i know. but the flash is way too bright(makes a great flashlight though )
I find that if you turn the assistance flash on before you take the photo, the light levels are better adjusted.
Theres seems to be a problem with the flash timing/sync etc..!!!
its a commoon problem, ive contacted HTC(as have others). Check out this thread to see their replys.

Any updates on the flash adjustments
I agree. It seems crazy for you to be expected to frame a shot properly when the screen is pitch black ,the light should come on on its own when the light sensor detects that it is dark!
The best thing to do for now is to manually turn the flash on using the flash button before you take the shot, at least thats an easy work around.

Peace gardens!! You live in Sheffield?
Sadly I don't think there's much you can do here, that's just the nature of LED flash; it's just useless (and that's why you never see it on normal cameras). And this thing has TWO LED flashbulbs xD
They should have just used xenon flash like a normal camera?? But I think they use far more battery life.

Not everyone takes pictures during the day!!!

I made a huge mistake as I was scouting for a new phone, coming from my rooted G1 I was just so happy to be getting a new phone and I really had my eye on the Vibrant although I would have preferred a qwerty phone. For some strange reason I had it in my mind that the Vibrant had a flash and I did not find out otherwise until I had already ordered the phone just before the 15th so the phone had already shipped when I discovered the horrible reality that the Vibrant had no camera flash.
Has anyone found a that allows the camera to take decent photos in say a restaurant with only candles burning on the table or a night club? I really want a work around because I have been getting pretty attached the little guy and this is making me very sad.
Curses to the Tmo boob that said "its only a phone, it doesn't need a flash!"
Any ideas would be fantastic. Sorry such a long story.
PS already thought of the 3G slide but want to try with the Vibrant first
idea = chill.
try the camera when you get it. you've got 14 days, and if you don't like it return it and wait for that hspa+ htc monster coming this fall.
Night Mode setting on the camera?
Click Night Mode, and you are good. Stop complaining about Flash, LED Flash barely makes a difference.

OMG thank you, I was so convinced. I checked my mode and picked night then back but I did not hit the night mode again to confirm my choice so by not confirming it it would revert to regular mode hence the horrible dark/red picture. Now my problem is its really blurry so I think i have to play with it more but yes the pic is actually pretty bright, still would prefer a flash but this is good. Thanks all !!!
So I guess this means you haven't tried, let alone simply seen the night mode pictures this thing takes? They are a bit dark, but defined with good contrast... I turn my grow lights off and use night mode to take pictures of my indoor plants and they look great...

No problem. And yeah with night mode you have to have a pretty steady hand.

No you are right though I never seen any photos that were taken with the night mode and I was not in night mode it kept going back to regular mode so the crappy pics that came out was all I know but hearing from all of you really showed I was just not getting it right but now I got it and you all are right the pictures come out fantastic, funny because when you are actually taking the picture the screen is soooo dark but when the picture is done and you view it its like the sun is out, wow!!!

Yeah, my first attempt to use a different mode had me confused... I figured the confirm button wasn't what it was... at least that's what I assume it is now...
I must say I still wouldn't mind having a flash... but I doubt I will use it as I think LED flashes tend to white wash everything and I either find a way to light it more naturally or use a night mode even on my dedicated camera... I agree though, they did a good job on the camera...
in addition to nightmode you could use picsay pro to remove the graniness and adjust each pic, very nice app

Do you have issues with the Gingerbread camera and dark pictures

Hi,
Since going to Sense gingerbread ROMs, my camera has been horrible in low light pictures. It seems like the flash is firing just a little bit too early. By the time the shutter opens, the flash has pretty much done its thing, and the picture comes out very dark. I have tried every single combination of Sense GB ROM and kernel that is currently available, and I get the same result with every single one. I have also tried all of the cameras available in the Market. I get the same poor results with every single one of them. The only way that I can get a decent low light picture is to flash back to a Froyo ROM, or over to an AOSP ROM. The pictures taken in any Froyo or AOSP ROM come out good and bright in all conditions. I think that there must be some sort of incompatibility with Gingerbread ROMs and the camera in my phone.
But of course just like every other thing with these phones, not everyone is having problems. But there are quite a few people that are. I've been trying to work out whether it is some sort of software issue, or hardware. We all know that there are four different hardware versions on the Evo. And from what I can determine, there are two different types of cameras in use. I started a little survey in one of the ROM threads in development. But I thought that I'd move it up here so that more people could see it and participate. I am hoping that if you know for sure that you are having the dark low light photos problem or if you know for sure that you're not having the problem that you could post information in this thread about the ROM you're running, your hardware version, the camera that you have in your phone, and whether you're having the problem or not. To determine the camera in use, do the following:
Using root explorer navigate to sys/ you will see android_camera and android_camera2. Android_camera is the rear camera. Go into that folder, hold over sensor until you see the options menu. Scroll down to View As Text and that opens the file with Camera brand and model number. Post that information to the thread, along with the other information requested above. I'll start:
ROM: Classic 0.0.4
Hardware: 0003
Camera: samsung S5K3HIGX 8M
I do have the issue
Thank you to anyone that responds to this.
To my understanding its software. Gb causes flash to work improperly causing overexposure dark pics etc...

Right. Not everyone on GB has the problem though. I am trying to find something that everyone with the problem has in common. It's not the camera itself. Maybe it's the camera and hardware combination. That's what I'm hoping to determine with this thread.
Tried everything you have tried above with no good results. Sprint store is a waste of time don't bother. I hope ICS makes things better.

Probably true, but I think that I'll give my Sprint store a try anyway. Who knows. They might be able to come up with something. Just wish I had more info to give them going in. You and I both have the same issues, but different cameras. The only similarity is the HW 0003.

I took it to two stores, one said my flash was going bad they replaced it so they say, but that wasn't it. Another store said my camera was loose they fixed that but still the same problem. This one rep was pissing me off because he was taking pictures in the bright ass store telling me my camera was fine when i clearly told him it happen at night or in low light places. And i told him to duplicate the problem he will need to go in a dark room or somewhere low lit but clearly they didn't do it. But you may have a different experience, good luck to you. please post what happens at your store.thx. Oh, also i wanted to tell them so badly about asop and froyo roms working but couldn't.

I plan on telling them about it working well on Froyo. I restored my nandroid from right after I rooted and took a few pictures. Then I went back to Classic and took the same pictures. The difference is huge. But yea, cannot mention AOSP at all.
Also, I'm not unrooting my phone. I installed the latest stock GB ROM. Hopefully they won't dig too deeply into that. I've had really good luck with this non-corporate Sprint store down the road. Hopefully my luck will continue today. Though I'm not exactly sure what I expect to get out of it. I mean I really don't think that the problem is fixable on the phone. But I'll feel better once I've exhausted all possible options.

Sounds like he was trying to avoid addressing your problem by making it look like a non problem. I'm guessing possibly in front of other people so it looked like you were just wining. If they can't replicate it, it must not be happening right?
That is exactly what went down in the store, exactly!
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
The Sprint store guy admitted that he could see the issue. He had an older Evo around with Froyo on it and he compared and sure enough, there was a big difference. He said that the only thing he could really do would be to order a replacement, but that the replacement might have the same problem or some other problem. So at least he was honest with me.

Multiple threads on this topic, but posting here since this is the most recent.
First, the basics:
Evo 4G rooted
still running standard Sprint Rom (basic tweaks, nothing serious)
Camera Zoom FX 3.2.2
Yesterday I realized that I'm having this issue as well... pictures are certainly coming out darker than before. This isn't the first time it's occurred, but up until now didn't realize it was reoccurring thing. It's further exaggerated when shooting from a lower light area towards a brighter area (example: from inside a car of something outside). No big shock there.
I installed Camera Zoom a few months ago in hopes of increasing the quality of pics (over the stock camera app). Overall, it was very successful. However, for the most part I take pics indoors or under a decent amount of overhead/ambient light. Thus far, no problems. But it seems that the increase in pic quality with Camera Zoom has also brought an increase in darkness to these pics in certain situations. Not so good.
Will try to find an answer.

Screen flickering in direct sunlight?

Hello,
I picked up my GS4 about a week ago but haven't really used it in direct sunlight until today. I was outside, and the sun was shining brightly on the screen. Home screen was fine, and darker images were ok, but if I were to go to an app with a primarily white background, or open up something which used the keyboard (texting) the screen would flicker pretty noticeably. Brightness is all the way up, and auto tone was off.
Has anyone else seen this?
yup this is normal esp when using the keyboard.
Im not sure if it will be fixed.

I guess my question is, is this a hardware issue with many GS4's or a minority. I came across a thread on the Tmobile GS4 forum where people were experiencing it, but it seems not everyone is.

Its a hardware thing, but also its only in touchwiz so a developer might be able to turn it off so to speak.
It adjusts the color and tone no matter what to save the display from overheating and or burning in...
Does it a lot and I notice it cause im weird about those kinds of things.
If you use CM 10.1 or AOKP its gone.
ive made some progress with the RGB light meter on this; hoping a friend can write up some code so we can test out a 'smoothed out' transition and sampling rate and one that is sped up, averaged faster, but will take up more CPU and RAM and battery but more accurate.
here is another thread regarding it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280715
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284726
Maybe if someone who is using CM10 or AOKP could test it to see if it is a software issues and not a hardware issue?
edit: slade and jet replied while I was writing this...thanks for the info. looks like it is touchwiz related.
edit2: just went out in the sun again to test a lot of different options in the display settings (which none worked) but is seems it is only happening when the keyboard is enabled. I am using swiftkey.
yeah TW and that sensor communicate; i believe the sensor itself probably works better ALONE, but TW changes it and throttles it for either battery or screen safety.
It is always dependent on what is being pulled up on the screen, though it can be mitigated quite a bit if you disable all power saving and screen auto features, and leave brightness under 80% or so.
yea anything under 80% in direct sun is basically black. all power saving and screen auto modes were disabled. i covered up all of the sensors too and it still flickered....

Not just a sensor thing per-say.
It's hard to explain, they most likely did it because they didn't want the amoled to burn in.
Its the same reason why the brightness goes up another 34% or so on auto above the max brightness. Only uses it when needed to save the screen and battery.
Does it on youtube too btw, bring up a video on wide screen then tap it and you'll see the drastic color shift
I noticed this thing when I got my phone also. I thought I was just imagining it but I guess it's an actual problem

Did they remove the night mode option on android N?
I've just updated and wasn't able to find it.

Unfortunately yes they have removed it. They said it on a interview a couple of weeks ago.... Sucks

That's sad. Did they remove the color calibration too? I want to correct the yellow tint but I don't feel like rooting right now.

If you want accurate color...use sRGB. I've taken photos on my phone, edited them on my phone, then printed them out, It's almost dead on accurate in the actual print. Doesn't get much better than that. I was against sRGB mode at first, but now I can't use it any other way, knowing that's how pictures will look if I decide to print anything.

Not actually, I have problems on both sRGB and the regular setting. My problem is with the yellowish screen and white reproduction.
