I just got an idea, somebody try this!

when youre low, on battery and you can't open up the camera app, press *#0*# and press either front cam or megacam, and see if it works!

Too late, I am charging and already much above the 15% border

I just tried it and it lets you take a picture with both cameras but it doesn't seem to save the photos anywhere.

tried it , couldnt find the file either.

Its just a test of the camera so no file saving. What it does prove (though kind of obvious) is that the battery limitation is a software thing rather than hardware.

Nice one, genius. How might this even be a hardware limitation ? Logical thinking would've rejected this supposition. Btw VilainTweaks includes a fix for this, so we already knew it was possible.
@op: nice try though.

Well yes it is the logical conclusion and also obvious to me but in the interest of avoiding a potentially patronising statement that's why I said 'kind of obvious'
The only possiblility (though disproven by the mods available now) was that although still technically not hardware - if the camera's own firmware rejected operation at certain battery levels then no amount of OS tweeks would get round it.

Lol you're saying yourself that it's not a hardware limitation so you know it and still you reply it.. I can't contradict you because you're doing it on your own.

WTF? I can only presume something was lost in the translation.

My rear camera lens has 2 scratches!!!!!!!!

I have the moto portfolio case and got my xoom from launch day and today I just noticed my rear cam has two scratches and I'm about to cry!!!!!
Does anyone knows if there is a way to replace it and how much would it cost!!! I hate the moto case because doesn't protect ****!!!! But am I hopeless? Any help would be appreciated (even people complaining about this post and redirecting me to the right one)
Thanks!

Yeah yeah, its a shooter,we call it 3VO and I'm not afraid to use it...

You should be OK. You probably rested it on some keys or something.

Thanks for the reminder for me to be careful with that lens. I hope it's not a problem for you.

Same here.
I too have an issue with my camera. The plastic covering the camera has a dent right over the camera opening. Any ideas on this seemingly simple rplacement part?

That's what I was trying to get but, anyways it seems to not affect the pictures at all... at least on mine...

Please keep to the open thread!
With some issues, multiple threads are not really too much of a problem, but if there are numerous 'photo' threads, then no doubt we will lose quality photos to the depths of the forum never to be seen again.
Many users place the photography quality high on their list when choosing a phone, so let's make it easy for them to see what a great job Samsung did with the camera.
Regards.

Camera Quality

Does anyone else have doubts about the atrix & utilizing the face unlock feature when available? Our front facing camera is worse than any other I've seen :/
Just a thought, so many while I highly anticipate ICS.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

front camera face unlock is a gimmick.
just like 3D photos.
imo.

Thanks exactly what I was thinking.
The Front camera on the atrix is HORRIBLE in low light conditions...... so yeah I don't think it will function very well for the people that would be interested in it.

I agree, and swiping the finger on the screen is faster than trying 5 times to unlock the phone with your face. I don't expect the face unlock feature to work very well.

Who here would actually want to sit there and look at your phone to unlock it? Much less in public lol. Plus I'm sure it's not instant and I like being able to get into my phone right away.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Haha I thought it was a pretty cool idea.. then I saw how much better other phones front camera is than ours, you'd have to be in direct light for it to maybe function, even then the quality is very poor.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

The front camera is actually not that bad. Take some photo and it comes out ok on the computer.
The problem is the crappy pentile LCD, which causes some 'burning' effect on red/dark areas.

This has been proven to be a gimmick and anyone with a photo of you can actually unlock your phone!
For me fingerprint reader works wonderful!

[Q] Panorama Available on GS4?

I have to carry an iPhone around for work in addition to my personal phone. The only time I use the iPhone is for Panorama shots, but I was wondering if the GS4 can do them as well.
I did a search (both on XDA and Google) and nobody states whether panorama capabilities are available on the GS4.
The only mentioning on Google is some report back in March stating that the GS4 could also do 3D photos. So obviously that's a lie too.
Does anyone know?

of course even my galaxy s2 can

Yep it can, there is an example of it in one of the camera photo threads in the main section.

Nice. Thanks guys. It looks like the iPhone panorama, right? Not the "Spherical" that I've been seeing.
