Hey Guys
I want you to ask some Questions about the G2
- How good is the Camera?
-Is the OTG Feature great?
-Is the Internal Storage sufficient?
I think that was all
Thank you

I am very very happy with mine, camera is awesome (sometimes a bit slow though), The phone is very snappy, wireless storage is amazing, sound is the only thing that disappointed me, hoping KK fixes those issues.
Thank You
Nothing that is Bad? (Yes, Sound is bad, i have heard it )
Like some freezes etc?
I really like this phone. It's really fast with kitkat. It's the only phone that I use with stock rom because it's really awesome.
For the camera : outdoor pics are amazing, indoors they are just fine and low light pics are fine too (but if you want to take pics of you with your friends at a party, they will be crappy cuz if somebody moves during the shot, there will be blur on the person that moved so...)
Didn't tried otg but some people even managed to plug a 2.5" hard drive and it worked.
I have the 32gb version and I have some big games (real racing 3, most wanted,...) around 5gb of music, some pics and i still have 16gb free. For me it's enough !
For the sound issue, LG apparently made some changes in the production line because mine is even louder than a Galaxy S3 or Xperia S, I bought it 2 weeks ago ( production date 02/2014 ). I don't know if they changed the hardware or software, but for me it was really good out of the box.
And that battery life... It's amazing ! I have 1h of onscreen time with wifi on, 4h of deepsleep and still 100% battery ?

Everything about this phone is horrible, Im trading it in for a S3. Yes S3 because 3 is my lucky number.

The camera is decent. Great in daylight, terrible in lowlight/moderatelight situations. Shutter speed is too long and will blur photos with the slightest movement. If you root the phone, theres a camera mod that improves IQ of pictures. Also gives you 4k video recording and [email protected] Pictures still not as good as say the S4.
Dont use OTG very much
32gig decent but could use more. I find myself having to delete alot of videos I take but thats personal preference.
1 > There is about a dozen threads that range from 1 to 30 pages that answer that question.
2> It works.
3> It depends on you. There are 2 different versions depending on carrier and depends on what you want to store on it. For me, 16 GB is plenty. For others 128 GB wouldn't be enough.
The camera is pretty good, but there are far better smartphone cameras out there.
Over all this phone is a really good choice.

So I'm guessing its the device being slow but I wanted to see what everyone else had experienced and if there is a fix.
Basically I find the camera terrible. The only way to get a decent shot with less than perfect light is to use the stabilizer, which as many of you know slows down the pictures as it has to process the picture. This is VERY annoying to me. My iPhone 5s takes a much better shot and instantly without processing.
Has anyone found a fix for this be it prop settings or alternate camera apps?
I have to imagine there is a fix for this...
My last iPhone was the 5 (had the 4s before it). Apple sure has the whole "just works" thing down. That said, I REALLY like the Note 3 camera and the screen - I think it's better than the 5 - but in low light, the processing thing is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. For a phone with this hardware, you'd think a 2 second "processing" bar would be a thing of the past.
Yea, so anyone find a fix? I want to take pics of my kid and don't have time to wait between pictures...

I am also interested - so "bump" --- I can't stand the "processing." I remember the 4.3 roms had a mention that prevented this. I wonder if the 4.4.2 roms will get it?

yah it's right but i think it can take a very nice picture. for this it take much time. i knew an apps like as capture it. but it will not good for note 3. thanks

I mean seriously. Are these two accounts just for straight trolling or what? I'm so confused.
A Fix!
Hey guys I found a fix!
After poking around on my rom (Beans) I noticed they had the option for the CM 11 camera app so I grabbed it...
BOOM instantly better quality, speed, the works. :good:
So seems like the stock camera app was just terrible. CM got it right and now I'm really happy with the quality.
I compared both cameras and in almost ever case the note 3 was on par or even better than my 5s.
If you guys want some compare shots between both android cams and vs. iphone 5s let me know and i'll post some.
If you want the CM 11 camera I'm sure a little goggling will get you the APK. :laugh:
I'd also love to see what your experiences are and if you found the CM camera app to your liking.

If it's the Google camera you can get it from the Play Store also.

I really miss a macro mode. I take a lot of close up detail photos for work. Now I use an eye loupe over the lens and it actually works better than before but.. you would have to carry it in your pocket...
On a side note I find the kit kat camera faster than the jellybean camera.

The CM11 camera has macro mode.
Can anyone provide a link to a legitimate download for the CM11 camera? I'm always a little worried of an apk from a Google search. Lol. Unless it is from a reputable website.

Not a problem, hopefully you like it.
Is it true that an app can make all the difference for picture quality? How good is the stock camera app that Ph-1 comes with? I'm not photo expert, so there may be a go-to camera app that everyone uses but I don't know about so I'm stuck using the generic stock one.
Thanks.
Use Cstarks Google Cam port. Much better performance, IMHO

Cstark 3.6 is the one to start with IMHO. The others may or may not work
in low light the difference between the stock camera app IQ and one of the GCam ports (I use Arnova's V6) is quite noticeable, I use the stock app for monochrome shots, and the GCam port for everything else, as the IQ is just better.
I installed the very top/latest APK from that page (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk) on this PH-1 running Android P beta and photos look pretty great. I'm comparing it with the camera app that came with the beta, and it's much better. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I tried the same and it is really great. Even with latest update, I was very disappointed with the burst mode of Stock Camera. Most of the shots came out blurry when taking moving objects like kids.
This one does a much better job. Pixel and One Plus 6 are very fast. They take 20 pics in 2 seconds. PH1 takes around 5-6 seconds.
I am yet to test anything else.
Every version of the gcam apk I have downloaded scans as malware. May be a false positive but is enough to keep me away.
I am wondering if any camera apps in the play store offer improvements?
@arsenal74 what are you scanning them with? Where are the dls from? Have you read the security statement on the site linked above?

I use Nvisio https://apkscan.nviso.be/ and also virus total. Scans as malware/pup
As is noted on the site. It's up to you but a pup is only highlighting something if you didn't put add it yourself.
Your scanner is full of Bull. I use Malwarebytes and no issues with gcam apks.
It is an online scanner that uses multiple services, for this file only 1 of the services flagged it as suspicious, go to the link above and try it on the apks that you have.
I have no idea what Babable PUP.HighConfidence means but it is enough for me to think twice about installing.
Read the security notice on the gcam APK website... That's exactly what it says!

Never saw that, thanks!
I have seen a similar warning when looking at similar versions of this port before so have steered clear.
I am using nova 3i for the last few months. But unfortunately I cant becoming satisfied with the camera performance. I am thinking weather it's a software issue or just my mind set up. Can any one suggest me a good camera application and it will be best if any one give the link of a Google camera port for me...... Thanks in advance..................

I found a port for another Huawei device that worked but to say the truth, I think that the Huawei cam was better but very marginally though. What aren't you satisfied with? I know bad lighting photos are crap same goes with port.. Can't locate it right now, will try later an link it.

Unsure what thread I got it from and I think I renamed it too but here is the apk linked below.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Aw2YZXgU9um3IYmySaow8PmZQzzM-OGo/view?usp=drivesdk
This is the GCAM from Pixel 4/4XL/4a ?
Well on my crusades of random youtube videos tonight custom of the pawn of video talking about g cam 7 and Astro photography. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in a newer g cam APK but I found one of the newest Google camera that works on our devices. My only suggestion to get rid of some green tint this to go into settings and change your viewfinder to the one beginning with YUV. Link posted to save y'all the trouble of going through the pop up process.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Download the first one. 7.2.010 it's by Xenius9
Also in advanced settings is where to turn on Astro photography. All modes seem to work, what I've listed is tweaks I've done. Hopefully I've helped someone upgrade their GCam because Lord knows I love to stay in top of things with what's probably the best camera app on Android ??? cheers. Any questions you have let's work it out together and he'll each other folks.
Update: I've discovered that this set up actually gives me the best images. No discoloration blotches or anything. They've all come out crisp, great toned and all.
This only works on pixel devices...what about rooted android(samsung) handsets!?

Well I did say I've only done it on a snapdragon since that's what I have.
After a bunch of tests I find that the stock camera is much better than this port. I don't see the need for the scam with this phone. But it does work well so I guess there's that

do you have any astrphotography sample shots ? i was looking forward to exchange my pixel 3 for a note 9 but the camera was holding me back. If there is a working gcam with astro i might actually pull the trigger on the note 9

I'm using the one above and noticed every night shot is ungodly noisy. I don't remember older versions being this bad so it's probably a setting I'm missing or something, but it's unusable and I saw ISOs of 5000+.

Im using this version also (N9600). I have tested a couple gcam versions and this seems to be the best one yet.
16:9 is not working (not a big deal for me)
Astrophotography takes a regular Night Sight picture. (i really hope they fix this since I LOVE this feature)

Have there been any updates since this post?
I went here to track what updates have appeared: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/#apk1625
Downloaded this release which was published on June 20 2020 https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk
It seems to work just fine. I have some use cases where I've been missing my Pixel .
One thing I do find annoying about this gcam is that motion photos are on by default, both versions I've installed have been in that mode and I had to disable it.
