Hello
I love the Photosphere function of the Google Camera.
Iit seems the camera have trouble to focus.
Every seconds "point" I capture is blurry. I think its something with the focus.
Its very frustrating.
You can see some blurry spots:

Anyone have a Idea how to fix it?
Is it maybe a Kernel Problem?
Once it was working properly...
Thank you
I have the same problem. Weird.

Now I Installed Android 4.4.4 CM11 (UB),
And Photosphere works very fast and great again. But the CM version is not very stable.

Works fine on my phone. It would have helped if you posted some sample photos here so that we could see what you are referring to i.e. full resolution pngs here or at least a direct link to a photo rather than a page on some third party hosting site. The EXIF information would also have been invaluable.
The two most likely causes would be movement or show shutter speeds. Have you tried a tripod in a well lit room? Did that make any difference? When you did a forum search, did you find anyone else reporting problems (and what keywords did you search on)? More information and in particular sample photos would garner more useful replies.

Hello
I have been using Photospheres for two years.
Now with CM11 its working as it should again.
It seems like the Stock Firmware was causing this problem on my S5.
Now it captures very fast and sharp.
Before it was impossible to make a photosphere. Almost every snapshot was out of focus and I had to recapture maaaany times.
Now the Photosphere is working fast and without focus problems.
https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/114377602391908907492/gphoto/6054044742624950402
I`m happy with this results.
But the Google Camera App crashes often now. Sometimes while rendering the Photosphere the camera crashes and I loose my Panorama.
Hope with further CM11 updates the camera will works stable.
I have the same problem, but it is difficult for me to switch to CM, is it possible may be to use CM camera driver with stock firmware?
I have same problem with Lollipop
Same problem in any ROM . stock 6.0.1 , cm 14 and RR 5.8.1 with any version of google camera 2.5, 2.7, 3.2, 4.1. focus blurry, in one photosphere 30% or more shots. that is BIG problem for me.
I really need help to solve this problem.

i dont have this bug on the officle rom..
any solution?
Our Heros baaaad camera? =)
no i think he means the 'cubes' on the picture, you can see it better when it is a bit smaller, http://hero.host-il.co.il/IMAG0001.jpg, click on that link and not make it bigger(so it fits in your webbrowser screen)
Dude exactly the same problem that I have with all 2.1 roms... I already reported:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6148051#post6148051
take a look at the next posts too... i think it's a driver/software problem, because with 1.6 i don't have the problem...
there must be a solution, any chance if we somehow replace the camera app from a 1.6 build ?
edit:
seems somebody is working on a fix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662436

Exactly .. These strange cubes..
any Solutions?
while they may be working on a fix, the issue will be fixed when we have an official rom and therefore official camera drivers in the kernel.
This thread had me puzzled for a while as I couldn't see the effect, until I followed some of the links & found a photo of someone's pc screen.
What you're seeing is a moiré pattern. It doesn't reflect a bug in the image creation software. If anything's faulty is the software you're using to view scaled images; it's making a crap job of scaling the image using an inadequate sampling technique, probably point sampling.
The reason you are only seeing it with certain image sources is probably down to dithering. Moiré patterns appear when an image is sampled which contains a very fine repeating pattern. In this case it could well be something as innocent as the camera driver using an ordered dither to improve the image. OTOH it is possible the driver is introducing an erroneous fine repeating pattern of tonal variations.
Either way, you won't see any issues if you use decent software to view or process your images. For example, I couldn't see any issues when viewing images in Chrome or XNView. Windows built in software is a different matter, no surprise.
Yeah, same here. I could not see the effect being described in post one on my MacBook no matter how long or how scaled the image was in my browser.
I do however see it on the link posted above of the computer screen. I have to agree that it is not an issue with the camera or the phone software itself..
It is a software issue of the phone...
How come older pics taken with Android 1.6 builds are being scaled OK?
Hello everyone,
I've started to notice that when viewing some images in the stock Gallery app a symbol appears over the image (and also in folder view). This seems to be related to images with a specific ratio between width and height, but I wanted to ask if anyone has a more detailed explanation of it.
TL;DR: Help, my Gallery app is playing tricks on me.

Click on it?
It looks like panorama.....or maybe the movie view thing in Apple products.
I've forgot to mention: tried tapping, holding, frowning at it, but to no avail. Doesn't seem related to any motion feature/eye control, etc.

it simply says that the pic is a panoramic picture
That's what I was thinking, since it needs a specific ratio between width and height, but it applies to any image with that ratio (not only panoramic photos taken with the camera). Problem is, it stays there all the time, and sometimes I have to zoom in and out and move the image around in order to read the text in it.
Can it be disabled? Or what's the purpose of it, really? I can tell by myself that it's a panoramic shot, no need for it.
Thanks.

You're on panorama mode. Click on mode and select a different mode.
Sent from my fingers to your face using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3!
No, I was talking about the stock Gallery app, not the Camera. Still, it's not in Panorama, but Auto.
That symbol appears in the above mentioned conditions only in the Gallery, regardless of the Camera settings.
But thanks anyway.
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...
(good in this)

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.

Hi! Thank you for this. Can you post some of the recommended settings, if any?
So how does this compare to the default Samsung Camera? Because I find that to be quite smart and awesome especially with the intelligent recognition of scenes...
Doesn't work for me. Whenever I enable HDR+ images will fail to process. The shutter button becomes unresponsive and images do not save.
Hmm, thanks. However, the test shots I have just made aren't as detailed as on the S-camera, is there a setting set that needs to be done? Any tips?
front portrait still not working perfectly

I think only S Camera takes such sharp images, GCam does not

No one has managed to get it to work on s9 so i guess we will have to wait a little bit
The Samsung cam's pictures are over-sharpened. Looks bad at 1:1.
Gcam is much better in that regard.

the quality of Gcam is terrible, unless if you're taking a bright scene under the sun, the pictures taken by Gcam just couldn't compare to the sharpness and quality of samsung stock camera. I've just uninstalled it prior of replying this.

Are there viruses in the file?
Hey, got my 9T today, everything seems to work fine all but the 0.6x camera which doesnt seem to do anything. I can switch between it but there's no difference to a regular 1x.
Tbh the whole default app is super buggy.
Example: I switch to 2x camera, then I take a pic but tapping the gallery button does nothing, then I try to take another pic and the whole app freezes. Then I looked into the gallery and there was no pic there at all.
Please tell me if this is normal, at first I thought the 0.6x camera thing might be a hardware issue, but its really not just the 0.6x camera that's buggy. The whole app is unstable.
Anybody else having these problems?
Also, if I try to use the "Portrait" mode in the default camera, the app closes with this error:

Only issue I have is when coming back to the camera app from the RAM, the viewfinder doesn't work unless I change modes
Well after a bit of testing it seems that only the middle camera gets used during the process. Even switching to 2x (whuch works btw) seems to only work from the middle camera.
Any input is welcome. Cause I've got no idea what's up.

No problem on my Mi 9T, switching between cameras goes smoothly and there's a noticable distinction for each camera. The stock camera app also works perfectly fine, the AI mode adjusts automatically depending on the ambient environment.
Have you tried hardware test at *#*#64663#*#* ?
I had the same problem with my mi 9t pro, two weeks after i bought it the portrait and wide angle cameras stopped working. I tried reset factory and it didn't help and the camera was like that for about 20 days until one day the phone was on the table and i accidentally dropped it, I don't know why but the first thing i checked to see if it was working was the camera and magically wide angle and portrait cameras were fixed!
I think your issue is GCAM
You should test on stock camera to point out a hardware problem.
I've got the same problem with the 0.6x and portrait camera on my k20 pro. Did a search online and found a few people with the same problems on their k20's/k20 pro's. I've tried factory reset and flashing a different rom but it still doesn't work, the hardware test doesn't work either. Hoping that there is a solution for this...

The 2x camera is only used when the scene conditions are just right. On many cases (for example, when there's poor illumination) the image is way better on the main camera.
It is an old thread, but any updated here? I got the same issue.
