What affects how fast the camera takes a photo? Is it software (app or possibly rom?), hardware(camera, ram, cpu), or something else? Just wondering, because I noticed my friends s3 take photos much faster, especially in regard to auto focusing (iphone as well). I have an HTC Sensation, and my camera takes much longer to take a photo.

I have a Q:
I am coming from the graphic design and Photoshop and I knew few things about camera and image processing and after looking in the camera app on android I cant find good app that can just take a pic without processing! (sharpening, noise redaction, etc)
I wonder why no 1 made such app that gives the user option to take the natural photo prom the sensor without the stupid image processing algorithm!
I want the natural photo and edit it later in pro software (Photoshop)
I'm looking for a camera app that can be triggered via audio, but also take pictures at a SUPER fast rate.
I've found Sensor Camera. This, as the name suggests, allows for capture of photos through a variety of different sensor methods. Light, Sound, Motion, etc. It has great control over the audio input levels but takes way too long to process each photo between shots.
I've also found Fast Burst Camera. This is perfect!! From what I can tell it uses the video camera in order to get the frame rate up to 30fps. Setting this to single shot, with no image review, allows for amazing speed & control over capture.
Any app that combines the two? Or if not, would it be easy to make?
Has anyone else experienced a strange problem with the Milestone (running 2.1) camera - in every photo, the right edge shows a thin vertical strip of the next photo! Shows in both Gallery & Media Gallery.. but don't have a similar issue in a video.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe all had these moments when we just had the opportunity to take the perfect picture, but the camera app slowed us down and we missed it.
Thats why i came up with an idea which will allow you to take photos from your homescreen / anywhere with one of the hardware buttons without opening the camera app first.
Is this something you can achieve with the app tasker?
Im using the galaxy s2
i flashed my a13 tablet t730 mainboard all things goes right but i can't take a photo with the camera it said your sd card is full??
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been feeling the need for a cam app that would have the record button and the button for shooting a pic on screen. So many times i have recorded a vid instead of taking a pic making the poser like a statue artist. Is there an app that would be compatible with gingerbread 2.3.6? (i have a gs2 btw) .

I haven't messed with anything as far as I know but this is pretty annoying. By the way, the camera still makes its startup noise.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk, my camera is slow! It takes a couple minutes sometimes to open, if it even opens at all! Everything else on the phone works fine, but this slow camera is very irritating. Any ideas on what I can do to get it running a little quicker?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2.1 OTA, but I noticed camera lag with 1.5 as well. I'm guessing everyone else has this problem too. Is there any fix anyone has found? I've made sure not a lot of apps are running when i go use the camera app, but it still takes 4 seconds or so for the camera to take a picture after I press the trackball.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGot my SE Xperia Mini Pro last weekend. This week's been pretty interesting with some delightful discoveries, and a few rude shocks too.
I've a few queries about my Mini Pro.
Is the battery life for the mini pro generally this sad? Or is it just my piece that's rubbish? I've noticed that my battery charges pretty fast. Sadly, it drains just as quickly. I'm yet to do a proper test on how long it lasts, as I haven't been able to keep my hands off my phone I'd hazard a guess that the battery, by regular use, wouldn't last 12 hours! I'd charged my phone fully last night. I woke up 8 hours later to see the battery indicator show 80%. 20% discharge for doing nothing? Seriously? I downloaded the Bluetooth File Transfer app, and I'm now able to send files via Bluetooth. Still haven't figured out how to receive files though. How do I send a contact from my phone to another phone? Why would Sony Ericsson not have digital zoom on it's camera?
i have an apk app which can take photo and take video with a button.
I have first device running the app and I have 2 button, take photo and take video.When I click take video in this app and it works well but when i click take picture from the button, the app always "force closes".
this is my error logcat

Does anyone know if you can shoot a panoramic photo with the Droid X if you are using the Camera 360 app? I've looked through the settings & different shooting options, and can't find where I can?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a little application where I use the Android Camera class. Everything seems to work but the result is a black picture. I think I forget to set a parameter. Do you have any ideas on which parameter I must set up ?
The code:
public boolean takeIt() { ImageCaptureCallback iccb = null;
try { String filename = "photo.jpeg";
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Media.TITLE, filename);
values.put(Media.DESCRIPTION, "Image capture by camera");
iccb = new ImageCaptureCallback(new FileOutputStream(new File (dataMgr.getRoot(), filename)));
} catch(Exception ex ){ ex.printStackTrace();
} camera.takePicture(mShutterCallback, mPictureCallbackRaw, iccb);
return true;
}
I have 3 days into this and my mind is melting oozing out my ears...
The end result is that I want to upload selected photos from and Android phone to a php website.
I can display the images from the camera and get the filename that I want to upload. However I cannot use FileInputStream on the file name because it is not private to my application. Use FileInputStream generates an error that the file contains a path separater.
Does anyone know how to get the filestream running? Do I have to copy the file into a private file store?
After 3 days of googling this I am amazed I haven't that answer.
Just a small problem I have with my files when trying to use the camera, apologies if this has been dealt with already but don't fancy trawling the forums whilst on my mobile When trying to use the camera I get the message "unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions"
I am also unable to view a lot of my photos on the SD card through the gallery where as previously I didn't have any such problem. I am rooted and have bog standard 2.2 with sense UI
I have 1.0 r2 and it takes garbage pictures, and crashes when trying to view any saved image (I've only saved images taken from the emulator's "camera" so I don't know if it shows images that were pushed via adb properly.)
I'll try the 1.1 SDK, and failing that, an earlier version.
Is this a known issue, sort of a "well, if you're really going to work with pictures, you should be using a G1 anyhow..." kind of thing?
I have not noticed this posted yet so just adding here for those that have not found it. The new camera/video/gallery application supports cropping. After taking a photo or viewing in the gallery, press the Menu button and Crop. You can resize the crop box by touching the edges or move it by touching in the center. Using this feature I was able to create and share panoramic images that were much more interesting. Clicking Menu and then More reveals the "Show on Map" command which displays the location the photo was taken.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI Love my HTC Droid Incredible. I have no problems using the camera or moving images where I want them (Facebook, Flickr, or my PC). As I take photos, they are saved as a file name like "IMAG0029.jpg". They sequentially increment. I am fine with that.
What I would like, is, a way to re-set the embedded number to zero; either when the camera is empty (after a download), or manually.
I'll keep this one short - I just want to know if anyone has tried some of the available camera apps, and actually noticed better Incredible photos with less noise, brighter indoor photos without flash, color rendering, or better focus. If you could explain any theoreticals on how software interacts with the hardware to produce such improvements, that would be appreciated too.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to make an Android app that lets a user apply cool effects to photos taken with the camera. There are already a few out there, I know, but I'd like to try my own hand at one.
I have been googling and stack-overflowing, but so far I've mostly found some references to published papers or books. I am ordering this one from Amazon presently - Digital Image Processing: An Algorithmic Introduction using Java
After some reading, I think I have a basic understanding of manipulating the RGB values for all the pixels in the image. My main question is how do I come up with a transformation that produces cool effects?
By cool effects I mean some like those in these iPhone apps:
I already have quite a bit of experience with Java, and I've made my first app for android already. Any ideas?
I got my X10 in Australia at last, can anyone tell me how to get the camera to use flash when taking a photo.
I can get the light to come on in video mode but just want to use as flash.
Is there an app out there or am I just stuck with crappy camera that cant take pics at night.
I am trying to iterate through all the photo images (produced by ADP1 camera), held on external SD storage in an ADP1. I want to extract the binary data for each image file, determine image size in bytes and send the image data (possibly after compression) over a network conection.
My code is generating an exception when I try to generate a Bitmap based on Photos taken by the ADP1 Camera, stored physically on External SD Card Storage. It looks like the image size is exhausting VM for my application.
I attempt to extract a Bitmap via android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap() static member function. Code...
Camera app or organizer app that actually moves pictures instead of just displays them differently via a viewing app?
For example it would be great to have photos automatically go into pre-set albums or quickly and easily reorganize them afterwards etc. I know I can manually move them via file managers but looking for a dedicated app with different options/filters etc.
I need to push an intent to default camera application to make it take a photo, save it and return an URI. Is there any way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen at the home screen and then moving two screens to the right I get to what looks to be some type of image player in the middle and it has the Media Share, Blockbuster, Camcorder, and Gallery at the bottom.
While playing around with the camera I just took some random photos of junk and have since deleted them. But now in the middle of the screen I still see what seems to be the last image I took. Yet the file isn't actually on the phone or card. The round button in the middle (with the square around the 'play' icon) is selected but red (when I touch it it turns green and used to scroll through the photos before I deleted them).
How do I get this ugly blurry test image out of this screen and back to the way it was before?
I had developed a simple game for android, and just published on google play.Problem is that I can't find it anywhere, I had search for the name of the app, and it doesn't give me any result, how much time does it take until my app is visible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a USED S4 Active, and I am having an unusual problem with it.
I will leave my house in the morning. ALl during my drive to work, my data does't work. It's on, it just doesn't have "4g" at the top, and I can't use the internet, etc. Toggling the data does not work, neither does resetting the phone. About the time I get to work (after about a 15 minute drive), my data pops back on.
Today, at work, my phone connected to a stray wifi connection (One that I have used before, so my phone remembered it) just for a minute or two. Once it disconnected from the wi-fi, my mobile data was gone. Just like when I leave my house: It was gone for about 15 minutes, just like before, and then just popped back on like everything was OK.
I don't THINK this is an issue with my particular phone, but if it is I need to know so I can return it. I've searched high and low, but no one else seems to have had this problem. So I figured I would turn to the best!
Model: Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Android version: 4.2.2

My thunderbolt is acting up. It keeps losing signal and takes a long time to boot up. Will Verizon allow me to upgrade early even though I'm not due til November? ADR6400L
