Question about Camera app - Xperia Arc General

Hi, I was having a play with one earlier - and it appeared that when you take a picture there is no way within the app to see the picture you just took? You have to exit out and go into gallery?
Is there a way around this? Ta

There is an list of latest taken photos on right side... You can even expand it & then it shows all files in image-folder...
Take a look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanks, I thought it strange there was no way to do this. Buy the model I was playing with (three uk branded) definatly didn't have it - must be different rom versions?
Thanks anyway

Remember that you can flash a normal non-messed up rom from the dev section,
like my orange uk version, is now a on the global rom minus the orange bloatware

If you swipe the thumbnails to the right, they will disappear... if you swipe from the very right edge of the screen toward the centre.. they will come back!... same with the menus on the other side (but in reverse!)

Is it possible to remove compression from our phone? Try to take a picture and the size only around 700kb when i use 8mp setting.

you can use vignette off the market - but in the tests I've done it doesn't really improve the image quality very much at all.. and actually in some shots I preferred the stock camera's results.

yeah, i like the result of the stock camera apps. But when i transfer the file to my PC and zoom it, the quality still not too good because of the compression. that is why i'm trying to remove the compression.

Wait for my MOD once we get root
I will add photo preview too

Is there any way to have multi shots option???
To press camera button and take 3-5 pictures in a row...
I miss that capability....

Google Maps resolution

Anyone noticed that the detail/zoom level isn't as good as it could be?
e.g. try to find Piccadilly Circus in London.
I am told that the HTC Touch 3G and the iphone shows better res.
I believe the HD is having same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532745
Is this device specific?
Anyone have ideas?
The search is great is a great app so want to keep this.
Have upgraded to 3.2 - no change
low resolution??
Got to be kidding...
Just take a look at these printscreens:

I think the OP is referring to the amount of Zooming In which can be done on Satellite view before GoogleMaps stops displaying the view and shows blank screen.
I agree with the OP, I've noticed the same thing. I don't have any answers but would love it if someone has some insight.

Hi
The zooming level hasn't changed at all, it is just the high resolution screen in a small area that means when you zoom in things don't seem so magnified than they would on a computer monitor for example.
If you take a screen crap and display that on your monitor and compare with the zoom level via a PC and I think you will find them the same.

I think it's true to say you need very good eyesight to use the TD2 screen to the full

You joke about it, I'm seriously considering reading glasses specifically for when I'm surfing on the TD2, to save using the zoom bar all the time! OK, I'll need them soon anyway, but that will be the main use!
Google maps zoom level
I don't think you understand my problem - maybe you don't have the same problem?
See the 3 screenshots. 2 taken from Opera and one from Google maps.
The Google maps is at least 2 or 3 levels of zoom less than that from using the browser.

[Q] Night Mode photos?

my phone hasn't arrive yet, so i can't check it myself
Can some one check in the stock Camera software to see if it has the Night Mode option?
if not, we should get a port over of the SGS camera App.apk which offers very good Night Mode even at near dark conditions
Thanks!

Nope, no night mode. I did love that feature on my Vibrant as the flash will only work a certain distance. The camera app is the same (or at least looks it) as the stock builds for N1 or Cyanogen Mods. I would love to keep my stock camera, but add the SGS camera as a secondary app.
thanks! for the confirmation.
okay, time to dig out the APK and files related to the stock SGS camera

and that is exactly the reason why i prefer the Night Mode, than a flash
the only use i have for the Flash is to use it as a flash lite to look for stuff in a dark room

If you're gonna pull it, any way for you to name it something like SGScamera and post it up here? That way perhaps we can get it working in conjunction with the stock. I also loved the tap to focus, which stock doesn't have unfortunately.
I think you'll get the same issue as when trying to pull the browser from the i9000; it won't run due to incompatibilities between froyo and gingerbread.
There are a few bits Samsung put in later galaxy s roms that would be nice to see in gingerbread. Its open source so why not?

HUH? THERE IS NIGHT MODE.
Click the right most (or upper most) button, scroll down to "scene mod" and select NIGHT.
Only issue is, the camera preview slows to a crawl, but thats probably normal.
this camera/phone has some of the best low light and night pictures i have ever seen from a phone
Wow..hot damn. I'm sorry for the misinformation. I tried scrolling down in that menu the very first time I opened it and it didn't work, so I figured that was all. Thanks for the correction!!

[Q] Desktop Screenshot Problems

Hi, i had the Xperia Play (800a) for 2 days now, it's rooted and with busybox. Today i was trying to take a picture from the phone desktop with PicMe, but the image was very bad! Like a transparent image with a pink or red color.... I try ShootMe too, but i obtained the same result. The last effort was making it with the PC with the SDK tools (ddms) but the same result shows up.
Bad photo

Anyone with the same problem?
Can anyone help me with that? or just tell me what's the problem?
Thanks!
I can’t believe there is no way to do a screen shot with a stock phone. What the hell is wrong with Sony? It is so easy on the iPhone.
Not used it myself but I see lots of people using MPE to take screen grabs.
I'm rooted so just use a screenshot app from market.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12701006&postcount=3 just connect phone in usb debugging to pc open the asm.jar. Worked for me
I just use screenshotit
I've used screenshot with proper results. Still, it's a bit stupid to have to root the phone in order to get a screenshot. The Galaxy S, for example, allows you to do without.
I am not a fan of having to root to screenshot.
Ok, thanks for the answers, i try Screenshot It and it works, but it's not a free app, so i really don't want to pay for taking ss of my phone. Screenshot works well too, and it is free. I'm going to try the asm.jar solution today, later i tell you if this work too.
Thanks

Please explain.
"ScreenshotIt" and "screenshot" are two different apps.
@ Logseman & @ matknny . Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12701006&postcount=3 no need to root and if the screenshots colors are wierd you can just right click on the screen > adjust color
I have my phone rooted and I can use DDMS, but thanks anyway
Mozza2k11, thanks for this unrooted tip

[Gallery] Disable Photo enhancement?

Hello people. Is there any known solution to how to disable automatic photo contrast corection in stock gallery app? Its really anyoing, especially when you edit your photos yourself and then gallery change it anyway. Maybe its just about to change some value in apk file? Could someone please look at it? it would really help me, thanks people

first i didnt know either, i was wondering why some photos looks so weird, too much contrasted even i knew that i the light condidion was good, then i noticed, when you press edit in gallery, the gallery disable enhancement in preview, look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
sometimes the pictures are to much colorful compared to original, it just makes the photos look bad. Now im using piktures app, but i would like to stay with with original, but i cant yet.
PS. Maybe you havent noticed the feautre similiar to Qualcomms "Assertive display", you can read about it there https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapd...ay-power-efficient-technology-thats-easy-eyes , huawei has it too, its useful and interesting
but dude this looks like when you press edit it THEN applies somekind of effect. not until you press it. or is it.. well ill be damned.
just saying maybe it doesent DISABLE it when you press edit, maybe just than it enables some kind of effect.

nope, when you look on your pics with another gallery app (im using pictures) you can clearly see diference, i tried quickpic too, no difference, huawei used some kind of weird "enhancement" to theri gallery app, i dont understand why...

Camera starts to blurr on increasing distance after 30cm from object

Untill i was using MIUI everything was fine but after I flashed lineage OS 14.1 camera quality is decreased but still it was fine. Then i tried different gcam mods and flashed a couple of zip files in hope that camera will became better but it's quality is totally low now. Even i reverted back to MIUI to see if that fix the issue but still its persisting. I have tried Miui Stock Camera, Bacon Camera, Open Camera all having the same issue.
About Issue : On taking a picture from distance it becomes blurry the more I increase distance more it will become blurry. Picture starts to blurr after moving the camera away more than 30cm (i know it's hard to believe)
Check the screen shots and plzzz help me...

I think, thats your camera problem Not the rom / apps problem.
Yes your camera isnt using focus just flash some zip files for focus and it will work again thats the cameras focus problem
It happened with me, i had to disassemble my mobile and adjust camera module a bit to get the focus right.
Follow this guide on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcLhQtdzY4A, its not for our device but you can have a loot at it for a reference.
