Few questions to users - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi moto e2 users
I'm interested in buying of this phone and I have few questions:
1. Is gps working fine? Does it work good as track recorder?
2. Has it got light sensor and gyroscope (i don't mean accelerometer)?
3. Can it save photos to SD?
Thanks for answer

1.GPS works very well on my device, but it gets a little crazy when I stay on indoors places.
2.I can't say about this because i never looked at this.
3.With the Moto Camera it can saves both photos and videos on SD Card.
Hope it helps, and it's such a nice device i must say.

Have you tried to record your track (using my tracks for example)? My current phone is horrible with that (recorded line is not straight, there are empty spaces) and I need update. About 2, can you install cpuz and give me screen shot from sensors tab?
Thanks

[Q] Camera LED flash way too strong

Hello there,
I think the camera flash is way too strong on the SGSII. Every photo I do with it make people close their eyes (I do it too) which is a pain is the ass.
I searched before for this problem and found several threads from 2011 like this one but no apparent solution.
Since then, is there a way/an app that can fix this ? I'm running cm-10.1
Thanks
I don't know of any solution that would help you, I only know that most phone cameras have that kind of problem. My hint is turn off the flash and try making the pictures with minimum exposure in party or candlelight mode. Normally pictures with flash suck anyways ^^ so try working without it. :good:
hey man, don't go making people blind!

Sometimes the flash is pretty much needed. Thank you for your answer anyway !

[Q] Anybody knows about external camera Flash ?

Came across this kickstarter for an external light source,
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iblazr/iblazr-the-led-flash-for-smartphones-and-tablets
does anyone know of anything else. I know this device already has a pretty decent flash, but this could make it even more awesome..
any other possibilities would be appreciated if anyone knows..

U don't need that.
on s4 , we can easily use additional flash light in trigger mode.
all u need is a regular flash light for DSLC, and plug in a light sensor trigger in the hotshoe.
I have on cheap made-in-china trigger obtained in HongKong, cost < US$10. so that we can have more than one flash light, in various direction.
Have fun.

Not needed on the S4 zoom as the xenon flash works very well.

No it does not for video. But then again who videos stuff in the dark? I.E. gigs have illuminated stages, any sport activities are well lit and so forth. Still suppose it could come in handy on rare occasions.

try recording in 30fps instead of 60fps, it is better.

Honor 7 - Not the phone for you if you take photos

Damn my phone! Using the camera is a joke. I want to save my images to the SD card as I bought a memory card for it as I shoot lots of images and I don't want to max the phone storage out. Forever it will take a photo and you think all is good but then when you go to the gallery there is a grey square instead of the image. Clicking it grey square brings up a dialogue box saying there is no thumbnail. Trying to use it via Flickr upload, Facebook etc says the image is corrupt and can't be used.
Now, it's only the images taken with the camera that is the issue. Whatapp album, downloaded images album, Flickr download folder are all fine, the issue is just images I take with the phone?
So annoyed. Wish I had not cut a corner and bought the Samsung instead.
What a [email protected]#[email protected] title for thread. Talk for yourself.
I'm perfectly happy with H7 camera, can save pics to SD, quality is good..
You having problems with H7 don't means all users have it.

No, what's [email protected]#[email protected] is your reply. No one made you read my post and no one made you comment so if you don't like it then close the door behind you as I am entitled to my opinion and to voice it. Plus you say talk for yourself. How do you know I am? For all you know it could be an issue that most people are facing?
Today I was baking with my 3 kids, something that I don't get the time to do and thought it would be a nice bonding thing to do with them - father and children. Not wanting to ruin the moment and go for the DSLR I used my phone. All the images that I took, that was about 15 or so of each child mixing their ingredients, preparing the cakes, getting them ready for the oven, capturing their beaming smiles (which with my twin 4 year old boys is no mean feat), and then for all of them circa 45 or so images so all be ruined and not one recorded properly just sucked so excuse me if I vent a little steam.

Again, this is just hearsay
Getting back on track, looking at the image files on a PC, not one gives me the option to view, they can't be opened and again there is no thumbnail. Looking at the EXIF data and none is recorded. Trying to import one into Photoshop and it says "could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete."
Now in the past I faced this issue with the camera (this phone) and I would go straight to Flickr and upload the image before it went mental and stopped playing ball with the image so at least I had a copy. Then I would then download it back down from Flickr and that image file would be fine, unlike the original that would do dolaly.
Please feel free to keep arguing with me if you like, we're both entitled to our own opinions but its kinda pointless as it doesn't solve anything
Did You cry long after my last post ? :laugh:
How do I know You speak for everybody?
Look at title of your thread: using statement like 'for you' clearly says, that you try implement your opinion on someone else, possibly make some people not to buy this decent phone.
Could be an issue most people are facing ?
Well, nope. After this long after premiere of this phone there would be houndreds of posts about it. There isn't.
Tried to bond with the kids and camera didn't obey ?
Sad story. So sad that your life is rubbish if You don't have enough time for your kids. Maybe change of life style ?
Money isn't everything.
Feel free to argue ?
Yet again you say to someone what he can do or not? Déjà vu of your thread title.
Thank You for bit of entertaiment That would be my last post in this thread as you are clearly to touchy to continiue. Don't wanna make you cry again
Yet ' feel free to argue ' , others would have some fun reading it too i belive.
Sorry for all inconvinience I made to You
Let's try and be constructive. I'm not having this problem either. Try a faster sd card. Class 10 are the fastest, I have a samsung class 6. Also turn down resolution (here I use 8M, who need 5000x3000 resolution?) Because it affects file size.
I'm not having this problem, I save to sd card and thumbnails are created and all camera images are viewable in the gallery and editable when transferred to pc. You have a problem specific to your phone/sd card.
Can you see thumbnails when you save to internal memory?
I bet it's something with sd card. Try another one. Never had problems with camera app and photos. Please look also if you enabled to save location with photo - perhaps it can't get the position and that's why it don't save them correct ( just a try to find the error)
Good luck
I disagree. I love the camera on the H7.
Paired with Google's Snapseed, I get some pretty good photos.
Also, I have no issues with SD cards and saving photos onto them.
I'd tend to agree with the original poster, in day to day use the camera is more often bad than good.
There is a huge delay when taking the photo,and most annoyingly what gets saved is different than the image that flashes on the screen when you press the shutter! What gets saved is often out of focus and with motion blur.
I find the camera very disappointing for all but well lit rock-steady slow shots.

I never have the issues mentioned by the OP, like mentioned I would hazard a guess at the SD card being at fault here. Overall I'm happy with he camera performance.
The only thing I would have liked is image stabilisation as I have quite shaky hands but I will just have to try and use both hands and lean against something for support where I can I guess.
im also pleasantly suprised by the camera. its nice n snappy and takes good photos. I dont have the issues mentioned in the OP>
Maybe a bad sd card??

I had similar problems when using Snap Camera & photo quality 100% & save to SD Card, With stock camera I never had any problem. So it is definitely a problem of write speed of SD card. Try another one with higher "Class" and pictures will be ok.
I've had none of the issues op is referring to. However i've had issues with phone crashing after taking full hd video. However it is a separate matter and belongs in a different thread.
just got my H7....more than happy with the camera and the photos (set to 20meg)....i won't talk about the speaker phone part
Im too happy with the camera of Honor 7. The issue mentioned here might be bcos of SD card low speed (or) higher RAM utilization.
EMUI should really fix all the RAM management issues.

Mine only shows 8M and 10M in settings, the description says it should be 20M. What am I missing here?

If you are using standard photos, you should get 20MP.
Try to clean the cache/data of the app in the phone settings.

LG G5 Camera issues

HI. I'm new to this stuff so sorry if there already is topic where I can ask my question, and sorry for my bad english, I'm from Croatia. I have my LG G5 for less than a month, and I just cant seem to get a great video. When I take pictures, they are perfect, but when I record a video, no matter what the surrounding is, its okay, but its not great as I expected... For example, I was in Vienna last weekend and I was recording beautiful park, it was normal sunny day. The video seems to be okay, but when Im moving left or right when recording, the sky which is blue in the video, is blurry, every time when i move camera left or right, the bright things in video are blurred I dont know what to do, is anyone else having this problem? Maybe I have to do something in the camera settings to make it better. Thank you for the answers.
post an example
I will post the video as soon as I come home from work. Can I upload it here directly from my phone? Its 52 megabytes big

Broken camera module/software bypass

Long short, dropped my phone which broke the rear camera module. On android 6 the phone correctly detects a disfunctioning rear camera and only allows the front camera to be used.
This issue happened on Sony stock rom, shortly after an update was released for Sony stock android 7.
Since then I have flashed a large number of roms, both stock and custom. No luck finding a fix.
On android 7, the cameras cannot be used at all. Any app that tries to use a camera hangs and crashes. Doesn't matter if apps try to load the front or rear camera, or the flashlight.
This includes settings apps, quick toggles, apps like Skype and snap chat cannot even be opened. Google apps constantly crash, Google translate takes forever to load.
Is there any way I c an separate or mark the camera not to be used at all? Would like to have front camera functionality as is in android 6.
Currently using lineage OS 14.1-20170809, android 7.1.2
Happy to mess around in root settings, suspect I might need to edit the kernel. No experience in coding or programming but competent in backups and twrp, flashing, fast boot.
Logcat indicates camera every time there's a hang or crash.
This issue has been super frustrating and I'm not quite willing to purchase a new device just yet.
I'm not sure if it's permitted, but I'm quite happy to provide litecoin (ltc, bitcoins little sister) as a way to accommodate your time and show my appreciation..
Thankyou!
Why not purchase a camera module and replace instead?

I am ashamed to say I did not think of that..
What size soldering iron will I need? Best option to purchase from NZ? Possible to upgrade while I'm at it?
No soldering my friend, just purchase the right part and stick it in there. No way to upgrade, best case scenario the new camera is as good as the old

Good to read that it's working fine again
Can you elaborate how you replaced the camera module ?
Did you follow ifixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Sony+Xperia+Z5C+Rear+camera+&+Earpiece+&+Front+camera+Replacement/53287) ?
Or did it someone replace it for you ?
Heya zach! Actually neither. Pulled apart an m4 that I have which suffers from the battery issues, to check on camera compatibility before deciding to open my device. You know what the problem was? A ****ing loose connection.
In saying that, I had some interesting success with removing references to hal and restoring a camera apk and data from an Android 6 install
