Can't take any photos of writing. I used to be able to use my phone to scan in documents for my business. Now it looks like all writing is very blurry. Camera doesn't seem to focus anymore when an object is close up. What should I do? Thanks all!
I have the same problem :crying:
The 3D scanning app is now available on the Huawei App Gallery.
initial impression is it's a PITA to try & scan something.
Uses the front camera and its "interesting" trying to read the on screen instructions as your trying to scan

Agreed first few goes were awful, takes a while to get the hang of it. The key seems to be to keep the phone pretty still and slowly rotate the object , easier said than done though. Took about 10 goes to get something semi decent and then half its head was missing!
I first tried with a doll and it turned out just fine. I then wanted to try with other stuffs but it didn't turn out so well.. Also I noticed that my hand too gets modeled along with stuffs other than doll, like a well decorated chinaware... Why hand?
If this software is well tweaked then it's going to be a mega hit coz AI will, or I hope it will get better at, adding lighting and shadow info into the ARed model. Lots of scope Huawei guys, just enhance them and don't stuff in kiddo games into your future updates.
Can some of you guys post screenshots for those of us who don't have the phone?
Is it possible to post apk?
Got an article with screenshot

Some samples lol
i would really need it to scan faces. it does not want to start
any ideas?
thank you
You can create a new horror looking toy using this app
I am getting frustrated with the 3D thing, it is capturing my hand as well (while I am trying to rotate the model to clear blue spots), besides the image is not highly detailed, specially of those of sculptures n figurines. Is the AI programmed to consider only fluffy dolls?
Anyone have the apk so I can try it on the Mate 20 X? Can't find it in the Huawei section
Here you can get the APK https://mega.nz/#!sfoRUIhC!GGwYBh2I6f6Ohj0O_Dbcspvj1k1O_ZmzpaToytdByro
My app uses the front-cam instead of the rear-one, without any UI to switch. Pretty useless.

That's how it's supposed to work

The scanning feature can't work on the rear camera, it's able to scan in detailed 3D by using this device's dot projection system. Only one other Android phone has a 3D dot projection system, the Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro. This is the first time it's been utilized for something else than face recognition.
Anyone know what format the 3D image is stored as?
Looking forward to getting my Huawei 20 Pro this weekend to try this!
I've played with the app last night and managed to scan a few objects in suboptimal light conditions.
It worked well with soft toys but I got poor results with hard objects (model cars).
The 3D objects are stored as OBJ files and can be shared in GLB File Format.

Hi,
It keeps hanging at 57%...
Will this work with the Mate 20 X, as the Cameras are the same specs.
I tired and it looked like I wasn't able to add anything with the + on the app. It just kept flashing
Is there any way to get the depth sensor from the front facing camera so that we get a face model?
I've tried 3d live maker but it's hard to do a full scan and even if you get one it will exit the app upon reaching 80% processing.
Any help would be apreciated.
The guys from bellus3d could have upgraded their app but don't seem to bother...
Did someone find a working apk of Google Camera for Android 8.1? I found several, but all of them crash.

Hi,
Sorry for asking, but what's the difference between the default YotaCamera and the Google Camera app?
@vevgeniev
Which GCam versions have you tried so far? Are all of them crashing? I would try first the versions for 8.1 and below.
@Yotafreak
The potential difference would be huge. Like night and day. The Yota camera app is quite bad. The image is always underexposed, colours are lacking and if it's dark, it's dark. The camera is also very slow. I found some 3rd party (paid) apps (e.g. Footej Camera and others) produce better images and shoot way faster pictures, but the images were not stabilized. The phone has good hardware and lens but the camera is not.
The difference factor would be whether Google Camera works and whether it works with Camera2API in Yota 3+. That is apparently the case so I came across this post and seems 3.2.040 works on Yota 3+. I tested on my Yota 3+ and yes it does work. So far I haven't seen any difference in quality though, but the weather isn't good to test these days, so I may have to dig further.

Here are various versions but the one mentioned above is not listed here, not sure:

If you have Yota 3 (not 3+) I wouldn't mess with that phone. You can expect Yota 3 (Chinese release) may not work the same way as 3+. There is some talk there about that ... "And after a patch to activate it, the camera stops working altogether." On the other hand, there are mods of the Gcam that enable the GCam to work on any any phone without Camera2API. "To Use Google Camera, the smartphone should have enabled Camera2API, if not then it should be rooted but now you no need to do these things to use GCam for your low end Devices because Google Camera Go Port is available for all Smartphones without rooting, unlocking bootloader or enabling Camera2 API on them." But you still could use either the mods of Google Camera or the Camera Go Mods.
Camera Go mods (unrelated to Google Camera) question here... https://www.cyanogenmods.org/google-camera-go-apk-download/
To check your camera, you can run app called Camera2 Probe to confirm if the phone supports Camera2API to verify.
Yota 3+ ... Hardware Support Level 3
Yota 3 ... would probably say Limited
The Google Camera 3.2.040 doesn't seem to have any of the features of the GCam app in later Pixel phones... e.g.
Portrait Mode on all smartphones, on front and back both.
Night Mode
Beauty (Face Enhance) Mode
Astrophotography feature
Blur mode (object portrait)
Flash Mode
Self timer
Video Mode
Translate Mode
4K video
My objective is to replace the Yota camera app, I am not so much concerned with the additional features GCal can offer. I just want a better picture that's all.
There are also number of mods of GCam so there is a chance there are some that work...

But wait, that's not all. Here are some more .. enough testing for whole year in case the quarantine is extended.

Somebody says this is working for better shots but some functions not available.
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.2_TlnNeun-1.apk
That's in-line with what I see with 3.2.040 is the pictures didn't look spectacularly different and it had missing features. Since better shots is all I care about, I may give it a try.. But too many to try.. As long as it doesn't brick the phone, I am willing to test the higher versions.
If you happen to find one that has good results, I would appreciate if you could share.
@itoldusoandso
Thanks a lot for the information!
So I found on a device without Camera2API and with a decent manufacturer's camera app already installed is the Google Camera without any effect. The only small difference I have seen is in night shot mode seems, it seems to improve the night shots in Google Camera slightly but not significantly enough. So unless you need to do a lot of pictures without flash after sunset.. makes little sense. The device I tested was Samsung A7 20017, so it's a low-mid range device. Samsung camera app is acceptable so I couldn't see difference between that at Google Camera.
I am trying to use a bank app, which wants to scan my face but only uses the selfie camera with no option to use a picture from the gallery - but my selfie camera has too bad of a image quality even under perfect conditions. I have a rooted device with lineagos.
Is there any way to: 1. Change the android kernel so as to use the back camera? 2. Use a hack/app that would hijack the JavaAPI somehow? 3. Disallow permissions for the selfie camera to provoke the usage of the back one?
I have never really worked in the android java API so I really dont know what can be done without for example knowing if the selfie and back camera have a seperate API call
