[Q] 4.4.4 Camera Lag - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have Sony Xperia Z2 and I know there have been lots of threads regarding this issue and i know that this camera lag does not affect the photo quality. However is there anyway to flash or install or modify the old camera app which was in 4.4.3? I hate how the camera is laggy and not as smooth.
Any help or reply is much appreciated. Thank you all.

If you use Existenz then the most recent version (4.5.0) has it.

Thank you so much! I'm currently using 4.0 and I didn't know about the 4.5, thanks for your help!!!

Now in z2 , the camera is very laggy ...ok...but we have now a very good quality in photos! I try a photo with 4.4.2 and another photo with 4.4.4...same place,same object.The sharpness,colors and quality is very very very superior in 4.4.4
Infact in 4.4.2 some photos are with a strange blue bounce in objects,people and animals. In 4.4.4 the bounce disappear . I heard (but i'm not sure of this) , the photo quality with z and z1 is very bad with sony camera. Now z2 with sony camera is really ok in my opinion :good:

I agree with you that the camera is taking better photos, however don't forget that 4.4.4 exaggerates the colours of photos in album app, I don't know if you can notice that.. When you look at the photos on pc or print anything, they come out terrible. I was really happy with the old camera. I think would be great if someone can find a way to get back the old camera 4.4.3 running on 4.4.4.
Thank you

It's supervivid or (sometimes) x-reality feature on screen settings if you activate....it exaggerate colour in certain situations on phone...in PC, the photos are great for me... i test that i advice you to settings the white balance screen with : R=0 B=177 G=177 to have more natural colors on screen .Then use manual camera to take better photos Or 3rd party app (like snap camera or a better camera ). You can try :good:

Yes that is right. I agree that it does a decent photos but I think I was happy with a smooth camera that is all. No my pc is fine and I also tend to copy photos to mac and I use mac book pro retina. I want the 60 fps back!!
Thanks for all the ideas and support guys

You're welcome ! Sadly the fps has reduced due to camera overheating,but eXistenZ 4.50 have 60 fps but only in recording video. I believe in lollipop for new camera feature

Yeah hopefully in the new update can't wait for 5!

[Q] Camera of X10i

Hello dear XDA members.
I find the camera on the Xperia not as good as other phones, such as the Iphone. I mean when I bought the phone it was the HD version, did they mean that it is able to watch movies with HD quality or does it take pictures and videos in HD?
The camera has an 8.1mp, and it aint that good as I thought it would be, I mean the photos should be really smooth and good.
Am I the only one that has these kind of thoughts?
Yours
the camera on this phone is better than the iphone. Mp arent whats important when its comes to quality. The problem with the stock se camera is to much compression/noise reduction. This causes a blurry picture....or at least not as clear. Also, make sure you turn off image stabilzation if you have it on...this ruins quality even further.
Try downloading alt camera apps from the market....vignette is one of if not the best to download from the market. This app allows you to set your own compression settings.
Also, alot of people like camera 360 ultimate....try them all and find which you like best.

Yea I find the blurry very annoying cause the smallest move I make the picture also get blurry. I compared the camera with a friend of mine that has an Iphone and It looked like the picture was better on his phone.
However, I will take your advice and download new camera apps. Thank you =)

[Q] Camera taking lousy pictures...am i the only one?

i have the settings for the camera on the highest res and auto focus, yet i still get sub-par pictures. we took my Note on vaca to the beach in the Mayan Riviera in April, and the pictures were lousy quality. my old iP 3GS took better pix that appeared of a higher resolution.
am i missing something?
i just turned on the anti-shake setting. could that have been the culprit? or is there some camera app that will "fix" my camera and make it seem like the 8 MP beast i thought it would be.
(BTW, my wife brought her 8MP Galaxy S and her pix came out way better from our mexican vaca...)

I too have noticed a lack of sharpness in the stock cam. I just dnldd the other and didn't see much difference if I compared the two test pics side by side but since I am in a dark room...I then changed settins on both to night and then took one each and the Camera ICS shot was MUCH sharper and had a much better white balance.

Lets talk HDR Apps

The one thing holding me back from flashing cm10 is the fact that I lose the TW camera. The HDR function in it works _so_ well.
I've tried a few free versions of various HDR apps and they all suck compared to the TW one.
Does anyone have experience with any of the ones on the market and can maybe share their settings?
HDR/MDR
I don't consider any mobile camera good. Any cheapest point-n-shoot will punch it in face. If u got SGS3 for camera - u r wrong.
I heard Photoshop can do HDR - so look into that. Also PlayMarket is a good source of information.
I disagree. The camera on this phone is more than adequate, and HDR is impressive

meh, camera is great for my neeeds.
as for ps doing hdr, you need an hdr image first for ps to be able to manipulate the exposure and b/w settings.
what is PlayMarket? Something that reviews playstore apps?

Any recent cheap point in shoot will do better in terms of IQ.
Having said that even cell phone cameras vary in quality and if you use them then you'd be silly not to take that into account if it is important to you, even if you've got another camera that is better.... nothing wrong with buying the S3 for the camera. Not sure how that would be "wrong".
the camera was like 70% of my interest in getting the S3. I have a nikon d7000 DSLR and know that the cell camera will never be able to get close to that beast but sometimes I don't want to lug around my dslr and having a cell that can take great pictures is a huge plus especially if you don't want to carry a point and shoot and a cell phone at the same time.

I had previously used PRO HDR on the OG EVO, and it worked great. The EVO 3D didn't support HDR apps at all. The GS3 has a great built-in HDR option, and tried PRO HDR again - the native one is better!
So for now I'm sticking with the stock camera (I'm rooted, but running stock until CM10 has a semi-stable build..).

Get Camera360! I love this camera, its free and so many effects and you can actually choose between a couple different HDR modes.

just got my xzu oh god the camera

Oh god the camera is bad, all I ask for is a decent camera that can snap pictures of words on maybe a whiteboard from a distance when I'm in a meeting and god does the image look horrible when I zoom is, there is no detail at all sort of like an over sharpening of a blur image. God even the nexus 4 has a much clearer image than this although that's plagued by its far I share of focusing bugs

Hey mate. Don't despair. Just load a 3rd party camera app. I'm going between Camera Zoom FX and Camera FV-5 at the moment. I think FV-5 is going to be my choice.
There's not much wrong with the optics on the Ultra just too much native compression from Sony's own app.
So with a better app I'm seeing much better results.

Trust me, ive tried. They look more or less the same, ive tried it all. The paid verions for fx, fv5, focal, motox camera, ics camera+ and hdr camera. They all look more or less the same, the details seems to be like a chalk painting when zoomed in. Even in the thread, the leaves edges seems to be like chalk smudge, i just need a fix that will let me take a goddamn picture of my office notes on a projected screen ahh
after root i threw in the gallery app from aosp and it included the camera app too. works fine. lets me to those photospheres too

Hi Beerope.
I'm with you on this.
I get the feeling that camera apps on google market still use the same sony provided codecs for compression when using a stock rom.
Sony ZU codecs and camera force a file size of under 2mb which is why the definition when zoomed in is so crap...
I have a theory that if you use a rom like CM10.x or AOSP that the picture quality will be greatly improved when using third party camera apps or even the native camera apps as those roms are using the standard android codecs.
This will also be evident in the file sizes generated by those camera apps.
Unfortunately I cant test as I need my phone for work purposes (so it remains on stock) at the moment and haven't got time to experiment with custom roms yet.
I'm currently on 510 and refuse to got to 526 or 532 due to the weird SODs I keep reading about.
My previous ZU had 526 and had so many problems with random screen clicking.
My current ZU is on 510 and I've had no problems at all - rock solid no random clicking but obviously the picture quality from the camera sucks...
---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------
Also we may be able to improve the quality by using methods similar to those described in this thread...

Obviously we'd need to identify the relevant files first.

CM10.2 (flavours) are a little better. The file size is an issue as image artifacts are greatly reduced. It is a problem Sony needs to sort out. 3rd part apps can only improve so much. its up to firmware.

what a bad camera this phone have !
My Galaxy S2 Camera is much better than it
especially the front facing camera is really too much bad is really unusable for Selfies ! even when i use "power selfie " app with "smooth" mode its three much BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAd !
I'll post some photos later
how can i check the specification of the CPU
"hardware info" app shows 1.3 GH & 8 Cores !
is the 1.3 CPU is the main one & the 1.8 CPU will only Run under heavy load ?
How to Make some App running as floating window ? rather than multi-window thing ?
I DON'T THINK THIS PHONE WILL REMAIN WITH ME FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS .... CAMERA IS IMPORTANT THING FOR ME
the speed of copying to the internal storage is super fast tho.
the performance for is device is generally Very Good
Stating that the S2 camera takes better pictures than the alpha's means only that you may have:
1) a fake alpha;
2) a defective unit.
For me, I can say that alpha's pictures impressed me much more than the S5's and that's why I changed my S5 for the alpha. By the way, I had the whole S series (except for the S6) and none of the S series is better than alpha! You should do some research on your unit. See what may be wrong with it.

I saw them before, great looking but if you zoom any phone a bit , even less than 70% you'll see how much detail are missing , & things i can't describe because of my English.
But its accepted anyway, but the front camera is a disaster
Actually my battery charges pretty fast.
From 5 or 6 % to 100% in just over an hour.

Tomorrow I'll exchange my unit (hopefully), with a golden one (mine is scuba blue). I like it but I kinda like more the look on the golden alpha.
I hope that it matches the performances and picture quality of the unit I own right now.

Galaxy Alpha takes better pictures than iPhone 6 and z3 compact, except for lowlight but those two competitors doesn't take better image in dark either.

Sorry , New Edit,
The Phone Charge obviously fast with the Samsung charger that comes with the box of the phone
but incredible slow charging with on my laptop via USB ! while my S2 is charging within the normal speed on both the USB & The laptop.
also the charger of the alpha is 0.15 Amber , i think the USB is even more than that !
& Yes , I dealt with some android devices, S2 & S3 & S advance & S7562 & S5360 & one sony device

but I'm disappoint somewhat with the rear camera where the photos really seems to have no details when it is zoomed a bit , while me s2 shows a lot of details (both for near shots, less than 40 cm or even 30 !)
& For the front camera for alpha its look like the S3 or a VGA stupid camera & poor quality ... but i started to accept it with "Power Selfie App" with "smooth" effect.
I am still at my opinion, S2 front facing camera is better than S3 & The Alpha :\ except that the last two capture more light , more surround ...

Actually it would be much more reliable for the guy to try to boot into recovery.
If he used recovery on a Sammy before, he'd notice if there is any difference.
