To OP...

But, you said this issue has been fixed in 4.0.3...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428001&highlight=camera

Now you said it is not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
No, it's not. At first I thought it was focusing/keeping focus better, but I was mistaken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulcheerio:
I have never had the issue you're describing...maybe its something wrong with your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
And my phone owe and the other people that agree. Wait are you actually zooming into the pictures ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
I get it, too. Maybe you guys just have steadier hands. Even if you hold down the shutter button to focus before letting go, the phone will push up just the teeniest bit as soon as you release. Unfortunately, that's the exact time the zero shutter-lag kicks in and things are just a wee bit unfocused.

An easy way to see the difference is to take a snapshot of anything with text like a document or newspaper. With the stock app, the letters are ever so slightly soft around the edges. With zoom fx, the letters are sharp. Mind you, I am able to take properly focused shots with the stock app on occasion, but that usually requires having my arms/elbows rested on a stable surface. I'm on 4.0.2 so I can't say if 4.0.3 stock app is better or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVOXGSR:
Wow! I'm so glad you brought this to attention. Luckily, I too purchased this during the .10 cent sale and never used it until I read this thread.

I've always ALWAYS had focusing issues with the stock app because, as everyone else mentioned, the slightest movement causes blurry unfocused images. This new work-around app is great and best of all WORKS with focused images!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoyohere2:
I feel so dumb. Using the stock camera app, I never knew you can touch anywhere to focus on that area.

I also didn't know you can touch and hold to focus.

My solution to alot of bad pics is too take alot of them really fast and delete the bad ones. One of them is bound to be a good pic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tom369:
Google should just update their stock camera app and add an option to disable instant autofocus feature and make camera behave like a regular camera if the user chooses so (touch to focus option or focusing before each picture is taken) because this is what makes the problem here: the camera focuses constantly and very often, at the very time you press the shutter, it's already out of focus. I don't think this shouldn't be very complicated to implement for Google.

BTW: quite funny the feature that's so much advertised by Google appears to be a bug in real use ;). To be honest: partially a bug, because the writing speed (the time from you touch the shutter to the time it's written in memory and you can take another photo) is still fastest on the market for me. Just give me that option above, Google, and everything will be fine (almost) :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
I thought the camera was amazing! My girl had some dental work done and I showed her how it looked with great detail. Was very impressed with the clarify?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
Man just used the zoom fx app and its true the image is so much nicer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Yupe, thanks to OP.

I just bought at 2 euro.

Made couple of test shots, comparing with the stock camera, and definitely the app made better photos.

I hate out-of-focus photo!

Again, thanks to OP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Very good image considering it's very cloudy. Hard to get good images on a cloudy day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KidCuda:
Does the app use the maximum resolution that the camera is capable of? I know other apps weren't able to fully take advantage of higher resolutions in the past...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbenson1226:
I too jumped on the 10 cent sale for this app but never really used it much.

I noticed two things:

1) When I used each app, the stock app produced a clearer/sharper image than Zoom when I was able to steady my phone with a solid object. The difference was very slim, but noticeable with close inspection.

2) However, when I shot free hand, the picture Zoom produced was absolutely superior to the stock app. Since this is how I shoot the majority of my pics, Zoom will be my go-to camera app from now on. Best 10 cents I've ever spent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cryptiq:
Yes, just tested and pic size was 2592 x 1944 = 5MP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
I noticed the picture quality is pretty much dead even when there is absolutely no movement using each app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbenson1226:
Settings give the following options:

5.0mp (2592x1944)

3.1mp (2048x1536)

1.9mp (1600x1200)

1.2mp (1280x960)

1.0mp (1152x864)

So, yes, Zoom takes full advantage of the possible resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdy2go:
Wow! It works! Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Waitzar:
Thanks for the tip! Camera Zoom Fx does take better pics for me. I can never take good picture (non-blurry) unless there is plenty of lighting. With this Camera Zoom app, I can take non-blurry pic even in ok lighting environment. I must say I am glad I bought this app while Google had it on sale for $0.10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
The flashlight turns on for seconds when i open Camera FX Pro, it is normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpowder1966:
I have also found that camera fx takes better pictures, especially when you are in a rush.. to capture that moment!

Thanks OP for the write up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
Tested the new version (9 jan) and the issue has solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
is there a way to make it the camera app when you launch from the unlock screen? rename the apk or is it more complicated?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rman18:
I use face unlock so I don't test it... but in FX there is a setting to make it the default... that might work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] columbo:
Has anyone here tried using Action mode in the stock camera app under Scene mode settings? The flash is not available in that mode, but I find that I seem to get much sharper pictures than Auto mode. It's also a lot quicker as it seems to use continuous focus, like you get when you are shooting a video. Someone might have already mentioned this, but if they did, I missed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
This works. And then the first time you open the camera from the unlock screen, set fx as default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
No go...any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
That works. Not sure what you're doing wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Also, in fx settings, set JPEG quality to 100%. Not sure if that improves picture quality or not (haven't tested it yet), but default is set to 85%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
I got it to be my 'default' camera app, but it ignores this when you do the swipe-to-unlock camera launch. This is what I am referring to (swipe left on stock lockscreen). Am I still missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Egoz3ntrum:
This is what I get when opening camera 360... the same problem with other apps, but i've read posts on this topic which say the app works... what happens?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
Go to settings>apps>filter:all and clear defaults under camera. See if that works for you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
Nope, there was no default set at all until i enabled it in Zoom, then i had to go to a text message and attach pic to get it to ask me which should be default (which is a bad sign it didnt ask me this when i did it from the unlock screen). I think it overrides any default when you do it from the lockscreen unfortunately. Appreciate the suggestions though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
That's what I'm talking about. I swipe left on the lock screen and camera fx opens now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
Zoom FX leaves the LED flash on when switching between no flash to auto flash... weird.

It does take good pics though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
That happened to me on 360 as well, just reinstalled it and now it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Don't know why you guys are using camera 360. It's terrible compared to camera zoom fx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reflekt2099:
or......you can just flash the latest version of ICS 4.0.3 which has a fix for the stock camera, in that it will automatically detect and auto-focus before taking the picture. if an image is already in focus, it takes the picture instantly. if it is out of focus, the camera will auto-focus, then automatically take the picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
Double post. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
The same here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt212308:
You can set this up in Camera Zoom FX...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Yeah, i don't agree. I like 360s effects and when autofocus and resolution are set right works well. It's a little slower with the autofocus. I like zoomfx too. I also use miui camera 17 for a lot of shots. All three have fast burst modes.

Truthfully, i see little differences between the different replacement apps on terms of visual quality. And stock camera does things they don't do. They all do things slightly different and all have their benefits and drawbacks.

With 32 gb on board, i have no problem using all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruimoura:
That's the "Always on flash mode". It works like the flash on the video stock app, you can have it always on to record.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slide83:
How do I make this my stock camera app? I tried using the setting in the app but that doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
I've tried everything I could think of, OP somehow got it working but no luck here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mayze23:
I can't get it to work either. I've tried every method that's been discussed in this thread but it defaults to the stock camera app from the lock screen every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
It's simple. I don't know why you guys can't do it. Maybe it's a 4.0.3 thing (that's what I'm running)?

Anyways, try this:

Go to phone settings, apps, go to "all" tab on the right, click on the stock camera, go down, click clear defaults. Do the same thing for the camera zoom fx app too just in case.

Get out of that, then open up your camera fx app, then make sure "make default" is checked in the settings of the camera fx app

Then lock the screen, then slide to the left to open camera. A box will pop up asking which camera you want to open. First, click the box on the bottom that says "make this default" or something like that, then click on camera zoom fx. From now on, it should open up camera fx from the lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
Tried all this, it must be 4.0.3 im just running stock 4.0.2 rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mayze23:
Been there done that. Doesn't work on stock rooted 4.0.2 :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
It's either a 4.0.3 thing or a custom ROM thing. And since all 4.0.3 ROMs are custom ROMs, we won't know till its officially released by google. You can't set the default camera unlock on stock 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peglegrook:
I was just able to get mine to work from the lock screen (running completely stock).

Basically I downloaded several other camera apps to see if I could get any of them to work.

I downloaded three camera apps with no luck. Finally when I downloaded Vignette Demo I was able to get the lock screen to ask me what camera app I wanted to use. Once that happened I just picked FX and I was all set!

I hope this helps!

** edit **

Apparently if I uninstall Vignette then the lock screen goes back to default... so I guess that is going to stay installed until ICS gets fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfdemicco:
Too bad Camera Zoom FX doesn't have a panoramic mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyald:
When i use the front facing camera on fx I get really fuzzy pictures but with the stock app the pictures are very crisp and clear.

Am I the only one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frazzle121180:
Downloaded myself and I can see an ever so slight difference, Camera Zoom FX does look marginally better

Nice tip OP thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Does anyone know if what size should I set the picture to in terms of Megapixel?

better to do 2 or 5 MP? Which looks better? Is 5 always the best?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn707:
Just bought it, thanks for the heads up. It really does seem to be worlds better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphicone:
haha nice, this worked. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdy2go:
plus +1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TSGM:
This is a half-year-old thread, but nobody answered your question or addressed this point.

One of things I know about image stabilization technology (at least from a few years back) is that when your camera and lens are on a tripod, you want to turn off the IS because it can blur your pictures. See here for some info.

If indeed Zoom FX uses some sort of image stabilization, which they do according to the website, then this might account to why you see more blur when steadied compared to stock, but less blur when in motion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krneki10:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decatf:
I upgraded from Overcome v2.1.1 to v2.2.0 and it is no longer possible to set the lock screen wallpaper. In the Screen setting when I select the Lock screen wallpaper it sets the Home screen wallpaper instead.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Nope, this problem use to be in resent versions but solved in 2.2.0, for me at least.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decatf:
I would but I don't have enough posts to be able to reply in that section.

The lock screen wallpaper can be set if I select an image from the gallery. When I did that it set the wallpaper but the device crashed and reboot itself when I rotated at the lock screen.

I did have Widgetlocker installed when I upgraded the Overcome ROM. I'm guessing it may have screwed up something with the Screen settings menu. I've uninstalled that app but it made no difference.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Look issues in @alterbridge post:

"Unable to set lockscreen wallpaper from android 3.2.2 launcher (use the TW launcher patch if you require this functionality)"

My question is:

Are you sure that you install twlauncher patch?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decatf:
It is possible to set the lock screen wallpaper from the gallery so I probably won't use the twlauncher patch.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't know other solution, sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ziesty:
Have you got this solved?

i believe the patch will definetely solve this. I had this issue with lock screen in 2.1.1 version and I had to install the patch and it worked fine after that but what didn't work was the calendar, social hub, ebook and facebook videos on facebook app. even though i applied the patch available then.

I am still looking for solution to the above and tonight I am upgrading to 2.2 . fingers crossed - hope it sorts out all the above.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ziesty:
experienced the exact same issue that you mentioned.

cant change the lock screen picture and when try to change from settings>screen> it changes the HOME screen BG.

This is a complete wipe OC 2.2 rom install.

I didnt want to apply the TW launcher patch and had no choice as I want to be able to change the lock screen graphics. After the patch it works fine.

But i want it to work without TW launcher.Any one would know if it is possible to remove the TW launcher patch and revert back to original OC2.2

btw the OC2.2 is perfectly smooth!!! :) love it and Big thanks to the dev team.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Again im really impressed with ICS and no errors for me. Im so impressed with the speed and performance.

The camera update actually made a difference to me. Panorama is nice. I got my HDMI working and wow. Im very pleased.

I had my doubts on what to do based on a lot of rough posts on here but also legit statements from Asus on the Bluetooth and GPS and Wifi with the Honeycomb normal errors.

My Wifi is great but I've decided for GPS Im going to get the Samsung Galaxy Note when it comes out. 5.3 inch screen with GPS and all the goodies. You then get the bigger screen and a built in phone. Just gotta hold out until spring.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
Good for you I'm glad your a happy camper like me

I have a SGII for GPS(navigation) and cant believe how upset people are over it.

ICS made me happy as well
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xzombiex66:
I too made the decision to wait for a good 8 inch tablet for my car, hopefully a nexus tablet. I love this prime but i still would like to be compensated for the gps issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willowave:
I was thinking the same thing. Has Asus commented on that at all? I really don't care if the GPS works, but the fact that they charged this much and it's supposed to have GPS, and it's NOT going to have it...then they owe people I think.

I'm seriously thinking of returning just because I'm kind of disgusted with the whole GPS issue and now I can't tether anymore since I've updated to ICS. I'm kind of fed up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Jerk.

I was just trying to give others who are really struggling the prime, another option. The longer I have it, the more I love it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
Except your subject is pretty damn misleading. GPS solved? How is that solved? Go buy another device is solved? When the GPS is working with the prime it is solved. When asus issue a refund for the device it is solved. Me spending more money to get GPS function is not solved.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PastorDroid:
I think there are many who would agree with you. I think my main question is, when people say "GPS" are they meaning specifically for navigation purposes? I think the fact that geotagging and weather updates are accurate proves that the GPS works in some form right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nxp3:
When you log onto a wifi network, it can determine your general location from your ISP by using the IP address. It's not accurate like a true GPS. GPS works anywhere globally, hence the global positining system. If you were to be off the network it wouldn't know where you are. GPS can be use for many things...navigation being the main reason for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trublu:
stupid thread.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Feel free to have it deleted. Not trying to be mean or poke fun. Dont know why people have to be asses
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
That GPS Chip had to cost money, they are not free. I am sure ASUS passed the cost of the GPS down to consumers, however, it doesn't work. You would think they would offer SOMETHING!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Yeah, it did cost them money, but i think they should be more concerned about future earnings that they will be loosing do to bad publicity. i know it has changed my view of them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indomfp:
Yeah, I am in the same boat... Even if the Prime's GPS did work, I think it would be too big to place in the car. Waiting on a 7/8 inch tablet for the car.

+1 on getting compensated and them owing us something for making it a selling point and then pulling that spec out from underneath us... Apple even offered covers when there reception thing came out.... Throw us a bone, Asus...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] minniecafe:
I like the ICS update and everything works better than I expected; GPS is not important for tablet since I will not put that in my car for navigation purpose, I will use my Galaxy Nexus, 4.6" screen is perfect to put on a phone holder. If you know this forum, I think you must own a Android or iphone, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ciddy:
I received an email from Asus Germany support yesterday where I had asked about switching to the TF700T, and all they offered for the broken GPS design was another 6 months of warranty. As I'm out of my 2 week return window, I've contacted the vendor to return the device as flawed or to get a partial reimbursement.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Nope. Mine doesn't even do that.

Theres a lot of primes with GPS completely and utterly dead.

Buying a device to get around the issue is not solving but avoiding.

The point of the majority of these roms is to remove the blur from our droid x. Blur as far as I have ever know has had a bad rap for being clunky and generally a step down from vanilla android. Hope this was a less rude response.

I bought my Gnex from Handtec at the end of November. I have been very happy with it Until 2 weeks ago. Battery life has not been great but has lasted 16+ hours each day and I always charge overnight so this has not been a problem to me.

I take phone off charge at 7am. A couple of weeks ago I started to notice that instead of 50% at 7pm it was showing only 20 to 30% charge.

I bought BetterBatteryStats which showed no WaveLocks.

I started to freeze apps using Titanium Backup.

The battery life did not improve. I noticed the phone was getting noticeably hot to the side of the camera and charges were taking much longer. Instead of 3 hours it was taking longer than 7 hours.

Last weekend I noticed a drop of 70% in 3 hours on 2 occasions.

So I decided to wipe the phone and install AOKP build 15 with Franco kernel 10. I did not re-install aps. I charged he phone after install which took all night and then reset the battery stats.

The phone has continued to be hot and discharge very quickly. Charging is very slow. If the phone is off - charging appears to be even slower or not take place at all.

My Gnex is now fully discharging in less than 5 hours when idle in flight mode and is always very warm without any use.

I have been using a Samsung galaxy s2 wall charger.

Is this likely to be a faulty battery or phone hardware fault.

Any suggestions for next steps or is it a Samsung repair job.

Thanks
