same blurry isdue. compared images with iPhone 5s and one plus one

I compared images with iPhone 5s and one plus one for same events. Note edge had clearer pictures but many parts were blurry ruining the picture. Sad. Never going to go for Samsung again. Issue wasn't in any reviews. Shame.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
I started a thread/asked question about the auto night detection.. Anyone here with any suggestions?

Just curious if there is a viable option for videos in low light and no flash.<br />

<br />

When in auto mode and low light videos (and sometimes pics) and flash off the camera states "auto night detection cannot be used while recording videos".. Which I could care less about but it unfortunately makes the video or images MUCH darker (then what is initially visible and decent in preview) . <br />

What is visible on screen before recording is more then fine and I would be happy with that but as soon as recording it gives that message and goes very dark. Very frustrating. Just give me what's on the screen why don't you! <br />

<br />

Of course I can go out of auto mode but that does little.. Highest manual iso is 800 and I turn exposure up to +2 but this only partially gets better then the darker recordings. <br />

<br />

If the preview screen can show an image or video with enough light why won't it record at that? <br />

<br />

Anyone else seeing this and doing something to help?<br/>

Had the same blurry unable to focus issue with my camera that started to pop up a month after purchasing the phone. Turns out that if I tap the side of the phone, that would fix the focus right away. So definitely a hardware problem.

They are mailing me a replacement phone, crossing my fingers that this one is good
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
910G here, and plenty of non-blurry indoor shots of my 4 month old son.

due to crappy internet this has been compressed and re-uploaded to a file host, so the original was sharper

Now of course - baby. he was NOT sitting still and i took 3-4 images and kept this one, because he was non-stop moving and 'talking'

'crawling' (he can only wobble around a lot) drooling, smiling baby indoors on artificial light. zoomed in.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LoTableT:
I have this problem too with my son :D all of my photos are blurry.

That's really really annoying if i think i have spent a lot of money for this Note 4.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mussels84:
yours looks terrible compared to mine. so many things are blurring its like you were moving while it was taken
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Krieger0311:
Yours looks EXACTLY like mine. It is incredibly frustrating as I don't remember this being an issue until about a month ago. Outdoors the phone is great, rarely any blur no matter what is moving. Indoors I get what you see attached with even the slightest movement. Every single time. My note 2 never had this issue.

I'm also having battery and wifi issues with my Edge so I could just have a defective product. I have seen some say the camera issue is a hardware issue and to swap it out.... But those people never seem to post clear, indoor/low-light pictures and more seem to say the return made no difference. I hate how many pictures I've lost of my daughter do to them looking like this on a nine hundred dollar phone....

I haven't tried a reset yet since that seems hit or miss for some. I guess that will be my next stop before a replacement or selling it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] silverhunk:
It is because the camera app goes automatically to night mode when it detects low light
[Galaxy Note 4 General] beezar:
Try burst mode and delete the blurry pics. Been doing that on my N4 and seems to work out. Yes it's more work, but I get at least one good nonblurry shot
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slind:
Are we possibly mixing up two different problems here?

Some people complain about the phone not focusing correctly.

Others have problems to get non-blurry shots from moving objects.

I've been using the Note (Snapdragon Version) for about 8 weeks now. The Lollipop update that I received lately improved the situation a lot.

But I still get blurry people, even in relatively bright conditions. They don't even move very fast. I was under the impression, that this is related to the shutter speed the phone uses.

It's not a manufacturing default or software issue. It's just how Samsung utilized the OIS. It's absolutely stunning for low-light images without any movement. But it's not optimal for moving objects.

Coming from an iPhone 6, this is even more painful. It is hands down the superior point and shoot camera.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
You are correct. The blurry photos from minimal movement is from Samsungs decision to go with a very slow shutter speed in the firmware, which is not adjustable in kk. LP that changes with the new API's and good photo apps will then allow you to adjust settings like this to be much faster thus solving the motion blur but in turn lowering the light into the image.

But this single issue or flaw or whatever you want to call it is basically my one and only major peev about this phone.

Such great hardware and even great camera hardware but Samsung really messed it up with this and makes general photo shooting on this a huge disappointment in certain situations... But in great light and when your subject(s) are immaculately still, the shots are amazing!...but alas, the real world doesn't work like that most of the time.. For *many* who use everyday camera phones they are taking quick, candid shots often indoors or in less the sunlight of things and people that aren't perfectly still and most phones pull this off fine but this beast of a phones fails at this task far too often..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Exactly all of the above. It's this attention to detail under all circumstances, that makes people fall in love with Apple's consistency, than their older hardware. They maximise all the situations you can use their aging 8 mp camera, to get great shots with without fiddling. Lots of others got far better hardware, but consistency? Yea that's the name of the game.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] midreestaj:
For people who are facing issue in low light taking pics of *Kids* specially; Or want non-blurry shots from moving objects in lower light

Try Shot & More Mode

It reduces resolution to 8MP but it will take as good pic as an iPhone 6 in similar situation. Try and see :D

You will have a string of 8 pics per click and it is THE BEST to capture lovely kids' changing expression and movements
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slind:
I was hoping for that to happen with the Lollipop release. But afaik, none of the big manufacturers chose to implement the camera API in their first Lollipop releases. I worry that Samsung might use this new API features to promote the S6 and set it apart from the Note. At least for the first quarter of its release.

I bought an iPhone 6+ again yesterday and am testing them both for camera quality. Preliminary result: it is very easy to get blurry pictures in lowlight with Apple hardware as well. I might follow up on this with a direct comparison later tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
I and many have tried this and MUCH more.. Including sport mode, manual with high iso, etc, etc.. And can help a bit but still far from where it should be

---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

God I hope the official stock Sammy firmware for this has the api's to get around this or I just might ditch this phone... And I don't want to.. Love most everything else about it.. Have Nexus 6 too but use this more as I am so used to stylus and waiting for LP to get its few major flaws worked out before going full time LP.

I will be trying a S6 but doubt I'll keep as my daily.. My M8 is pretty sweet and the camera does just fine.. Had a one plus one for a month and that was really good too.. (I have good connection with dealer/distributor who gets me new phones at great prices to buy or sometimes to test for 2-8 weeks and give back or occasionally freebie demos or open boxes for return favours in pc tech work, etc... But this was one of the first phones in long time I dropped decent coin on to buy outright, actually most on any phone ever even at few hundred less then typical retail,making it a bit of a disappointment.)

Bottom line is most phones, even much older ones do general shooting in various conditions with practically little to no motion blur issue like this phone, heck my S3 I had for long time was MUCH better at this very thing then this phone and that's disappointing. Sure hope Sammy figures it out with LP!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] midreestaj:
I am well satisfied with this MOD shot & more as it fulfils my requirements removes blur and all. BTW camera is all the same in LP no changes in post processing as far as I have noticed. Sports mode is just not the right mode I have tested it specially for indoor environment for logical reasons
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slind:
I can confirm that on the official 5.02 Samsung stock firmware, Lollipop Camera API has not been implemented. That's what I was referring to. No manufacturer has implemented the API so far.

What you should absolutely try on your phone: limit the pictures to 12 MP or even 8. I was never really able to shoot fast moving objects (tried cars passing by the kitchen windows) - even in broad daylight and sports mode.. I just tried it out again, and it works absolutely brilliant. I am completely stunned as to what this camera is actually capable of.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] midreestaj:
This...

On 8 MP blur is almost gone in low light even with moving persons, kids, objects etc. and that is the iPhone resolution actually what we are talking about. The details are almost on par with 16MP. You only loose the ability to crop
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sublation:
I had spent many calls to support about it. Took it into a samsung store and doh, there were two plastic stickers on the lense. I had just taken the top one. The 2nd one was exactly the same size as the glass on the lens. And it was hard to get the edge up to pull it off.

no more blur.

I'm not saying that this is the problem everyone is having, but it's worth a double check.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Shot and more mode will sometimes catch a picture that is ok but certainly doesn't solve the shutter issue. In most cases I get 8 blurries instead of one or I get a picture or two that may be ok.

Btw what model are you using because the firmware will be different is Exynos vs. Snapdragon, etc. Even though I doubt they will implement full api access in any LP releases it is possible.

Stock LP firmware you are talking about has to be European and for Exynos models I assume, correct?

The NA Snapdragon variants could be different. Not likely but I'm hoping and I'm not sure if that has been confirmed yet but you're probably still going to be right and it won't.

So does this mean that we will probably never get proper manual controls or access to faster shutter ever? If so that is a major downer.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vprasad1:
Where did you guys find Shot & More mode? Was that an Android 4.4.4 thing or is it available somewhere in Lollipop 5.0.1? In the Galaxy App Store all I see are:

Default install only includes

Are there any competitor phones that don't experience "motion blur"?

Also, can the mods clear the thread of the broad daylight "hur dur works for me" photo posts that aren't relevant to this thread?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ZenInsight:
We bought S6's and Note 5's. Cameras on both are amazing (Note 5 seems slightly better in low light). The cameras on the Note 4 and edge sucked horribly.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vprasad1:
"Slightly better" meaning motion is still blurry with low light?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ZenInsight:
I was referring to comparing between note 5 and gs6. Compared to the edge, both gs6 and Note 5's are 10 times better in every light. No blurry anything. The camera on the edge (and Note 4) was terrible.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aaaqhaaa:
the note 4 camera is perfect for me, altough it would have been perfect if i can make google camera becomes my default app.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dedzdedz:
Well if you are not good at taking pictures with a smartphone do not complain about the camera lol

Process and info are updated.

apks updated to the last one

S7-701u and S7-702u these two models are exactly the same in terms of hardware, The only difference is that one comes with a clean firmware huawei (701u) and the other comes with bloatware and market operators logo (702u)

Firmware: The s7-701u firmware can be downloaded from huawei website here (617mb) but the s7-702u firmware is privative, and can't be obtained for free... Some pages offer it for money ( for example AssanFile )

A friend from Panama with a s7-702u paid for his operator firmware and share it to me here (617mb) but it comming with some panama operator bloatware and logos.

Note: inside the zip file is a pdf with install instructions, both firmwares are Simcard Unlocked

A )But, what if you want your s7-702u with a fresh and original huawei firmware without bloatware and with original Huawei logos? then you must install the s7-701u firmware inside your s7-702u:

0) Download the s7-701u firmare

1) The tablet need to be rooted

1.1) Install BusyBox

2) Download from attachments this app (English and Spanish) VRCB Changer to patch your tablet id from 702u to 701u. ( Grant root access to the app).

3) unzip you firmware and copy the dload folder to the root of your microsd. (See attached pdf guide )

4) Reboot your tablet and s7-701u firmware will install a fresh and wiped android without bloatware and with original huawei logos (You must backup your data before this)

B) Huawei Tablet S7-701u/s7-702u Hard Reset Guide

1. Press and hold the power button + volume up + volume down.

2. When you feel the vibration,release the power button.

3. When the Android logo appears, release the volume up.

4. You will see some running lines in the Android logo, hold still the volume down and wait for 10 seconds then release it.

5. Then let it reboot by itself.

6. Hard reseting done.

I hope this could help anybody who need this information.

So i was curious as to whether its possible to downgrade the note 3 (SM-9005) using mobil odin pro, as from memory it was possible with the S4 GT I9505 when no other method was possible. has anyone tried it? i was thinking about it but wasnt sure if i should give it a shot

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synesthesis:
So I feel like I've pretty much shat on my myself here so now I'm finally coming for specific help.

Brand New Sprint HTC one m7 from the store after a purple camera replacement.

I unlock the bootloader, flash recovery. Still S-ON Somewhere along the way I can't get signal after I install the new ROM ( I assume from the wipe)

Try to manually input APN after I had to install an apk because APN wasn't a choice. Doesn't save.

Try installing a different rom. Either I can get into the rom and no signal or it will install and reboot after 5 min into the OS.

Restore from twrp recovery I moved to my PC before I did anything. Still nothing. possible cycling reboot.

Now here's the tricky part. (for me anyway)

So going into fasboot and inputting "getvar all" it returns with a version-main: none and version-baseband: N/A. Now trying to RUU the situation. With the windows program it gives me an error and when I "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" it continually fails.

it says my CID is SPCS_001

RUUs i've tried:

1.29.651.10

1.29.651.7

4.06.651.4

:confused:I'm not exactly sure which one I'm meant to be using from this point because they all fail. I've them both locked and unlocked. And yes Inputted the flash command multiple times for each file.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick_fc:
what software version is currently installed in the phone? Post full pnone info

you must RUU the same version to get back to stock and eturn baseband if you are s-on.

I have had same situation. I was on 5.03.651.3. And i can only flash 5.03.651.30or newer (5.05.651.2), BUT NOT OLDER.

relock bootloader, enter fastboot usb, run AruWizard and wait. it may look loke process hangs while flashing, but just wait and be quiet. it can take 10-20 minutes
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synesthesis:
So here's my problem now. The newest firmware I can find 5.05.651.2 the exe file from the HTC site loads the install wizard and nothing happens or the zip file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 the ARUwizard file gives me the side by side error. for some reason even after repairing c++ redistributable it still pops up the error. flashing the firmware portion also from the above thread fails locked and unlocked.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick_fc:
nobody can help you if you will not post full detailed phone info and detailed error description
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
We still have no idea what version your phone is ... if it just come back from servicing i would guess the updated it for you

What PC are you running the RUU from (OS / age of PC) ? what is the error you get when flashing just the firmware ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
post your getvar all here, remove your imei and serial number before posting.

No one can help you until we know exactly what firmware you already have on the device? And what Operating system you have on your pc? What recovery your using? and what Rom you tried to flash?

The side by side error can be addressed by installing a different or updated version of Microsoft c++ and your version main is missing because you used a version of TWRP recovery with the misc partition bug. But that's all I can tell you based on what you've shared already.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synesthesis:
Ok to answer all the burning questions:

On the computer front I'm using a macbook pro with windows 7 Ultimate installed under bootcamp.

The phone is brand new. If it was serviced I'm not aware of it.

Recovery I'm currently using is TWRP 2.8.1.0. I was using 2.7 because I read a feint whisper in some other rom thread that the apn issue might be resolved that way. However since I was having intermittent OS cycling on reinstall to not have a mtp function during mount was frightening.

The first rom I tried to flash was ARHD 83.1 in an attempt to possibly s-off my device with firewater. Never got passed the rom flashing.

and for the big reveal:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
meh! I've no experiance with Mac, I don't know for sure but running Windows I assume as a VM could cause problems using the ruu.

Are you sure you flashed the Sprint compatible TWRP recovery. You can download them here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7wls

And here is what I believe is the root of your problem (hehe pun intended :) ) This Rom is definitely not Sprint compatible. Flashing this Rom would have messed up your partitions. It's for International Brand HTC one.

If your sure your recovery is the Sprint version. You probably just need to Format the device. With "Format Data" in TWRP then flash Sprint compatible Rom. Or if you think you need to, flash a TWRP from the above link.

Based on the fact your on Hboot 1.57 the latest Sprint RUU should work for you. But because your s-on you will need to relock your bootloader in order to flash it. Assuming you can get round the side by side error. But I think a proper Windows pc is whats required there. :good:

The Sprint Section of the forums here http://xdaforums.com/sprint-htc-one is where you'll find roms for your phone. In Android Development and Original Android Development ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synesthesis:
bootcamp is a separate install. not a virtual machine

Yeah I realized that later but I even tried installing the Nocturnal Lollipop rom, the badboyz sense 6 rom which was what was on my last HTC one, viper, etc. with no good.

going to try this part now. OK reformatted. so flashing 5.03.651.3 and 5.05.651.2 firmware full and modified gives me this:
