Turn flashlight together with Camera - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
sometime ago i noticed that the option to turn on the flashlight while the camera is on does not exist anymore!!
i think it was after the last update, but does somebody know how to enable it back? this was very helpful for me..
thanks!!

I bought "a better camera" for this very reason.
Not as good as the stock cam but better when you need the flash.
Why other cams do not allow the flash option is baffling

T-Mobile Dash Camera APP?!?!?!?!

You know i been wondering... the camera application in our phone is after all a program that runs just like any other program in our phone right? thus being said... with all these applications made for the dash why has anyone yet to make an upgrade for the camera app? even tho the application is set to manufactures default settings so was the T-Mobile rom settings, but people were able to upgrade roms so why is it that we cant upgrade the camera app? maybe there is someone smart enough out there to think of this app. i mean all in all it would be nice to have some extra effects options or a brightness option you know... something to that effect would be a cool thing to have.
There are many Camera applications, I personally use the "stock" camera in conjunction with Cool Camera

yeah its kinda screwed up this app... maybe if you provide the settings you have set on your phone that way i can try to set the same thing on mine and then see if it will work or maybe you can guide me to a website that has more then one camera app on it that way i have a few apps to choose from cause you mentioned there was more then one. thanks so much.

[Q] Android 4.4.3 Manual Camera Mode Slow

My phone is fully stock and has never been rooted. I updated to 4.4.3 a few days ago, and notice the manual mode in the camera is slow. Even if I use the fastest shutter speed, it takes a few seconds to take a picture. Auto mode is quick as usual. Anybody have a solution?

I'm glad I'm not alone with this one. Hopefully there will be a fix for this. I deleted the app data. It didn't do anything

Well you are not alone.
In the topic regarding the pics taken with the M8 we were discussing about the fact that now you can't see anymore what you shoot when using 4 second shutter speed (very annoying ) and also I've noticed like you that now in manual mode it's incredible slow.
I don't know I'd we are in the right place to discuss this matter...Personally I'm upset because I don't understand why they did this mess. I'm not fan of the UltraPixel camera and neither a fanboy, so I get used to the m8 camera, but now with this change HTC left me very disappointed.
I don't think they will revert back to the old camera...For them this is an improvement...

Man, that's crazy. The only improvement the camera needed was HDR mode (I use the lock focus trick, but I wish that wasn't needed), and removing the purple fringing if that was possible to fix in the software. Oh, if HTC added a fast shutter priority mode, that would have been nice.
But yes, they need to fix manual mode.

need help please

my phone does not flash when I take a picture even with the flash enable or in auto.
Can you try using a Flashlight or similar app to check whether flash turns on as torch?

Cool. Then its not a hardware issue. You can try reinstalling the camera app (If u have not already tried it).

Lumia 920 with W10M latest build 10.0.15254.249
How long ago did it stop working, was it after a update?
Just double checking. The flashlight works every time.... and if not you tried the hardware test right? This was a known issue on the 920's

the material does not have problem, it is at the level of the capture of the picture that it does not flash since in video mode it works perfectly.

yes I have done uninstall it and then reinstall.
You are basically taking shots in the dark on this (no pun intended)
Maybe list out all the things you have done, what OS version, and update the issue started occuring....not sure who can offer help on this or what you are willing to do.
Go back to 8.1 if you cannot figure it out. Swap the back cover just to see...
I can think of only 3 scenarios:
-OS update caused
-App udpate caused
-Signs of Hardware degredation--meaning to turn torch on takes different voltage/amps then a burst (camera flash), or is triggered differently. Maybe something on the board is not working right in conjunction with the app. If you rollback to 8.0 you will know for sure on this.
it was after a update.

And where did you get this apk?
Apk site, here you can download camera app
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Nokia
Apparently there's a fix for that
Simply disable the location in the camera settings. Im not using my 6.1 right now but can someone confirm either way that this works?
which version is the best to use with Nokia 6.1? any bugs to notice?

After Samsung update today, Gcam stopped working????

Hi,
For some reason, got an update from samsung this morning, latest One UI 2.5.
After updating my Gcam stopped working, tried several different apps but
still stops and closes when opened. Any ideas???
Ken
That's a little concerning. Can you download Camera2 API Probe from the Play store and see if the camera still supports RAW capture?
Also try this specific gcam to see if it works for you https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/NGCam_7.4.104-v1.4_snapcam.apk

Hi,
Thanks, I'll try it.

Please download the Camera API2 Probe app and take a screenshot of what it says. I've attached what mine says and I'm still on the July release before OneUI 2.5.

Strange, your screenshot looks like mine so camera api2 hasn't changed? Hmm, how about trying a gcam version that doesn't work for me on the old update.

Ok,
Thanks, I'll try it tomorrow. I've been trying different developers versions to see if I get lucky.
Samsung must have done something in the 2.5 update to OneUi that caused it for me.

Haha yeah I've been trying to get people on that reddit thread to try things as well. It seems a person in the Note 20 Ultra thread confirmed this version works. Can you try? https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/HyperCam-RaizenA-10.apk

I'll try
Ok,
Tried HyperCam, it actually opened for a while, I went into setting to
change a few things and bam, closed and never opened after that!!!

Lol clearing data for the app should get it working again. Bigger question though is do you remember which options you changed that broke it?
Hi,
Nope, maybe reinstall later and try again,

So I tried Hypercam. When I switched to the telephoto it completed crashed. Wipe data and got everything back. Front-facing camera just hangs.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying different GCam versions. Some partially worked, namely some HyperCam versions and TrCamera versions. Couldn't seem to get the front camera working on any versions, however. No matter what RAW and Viewfinder format I chose, the front camera would either hang, or cause the app to crash. I rooted through as many settings as I could think to change around to get the front camera working, but nothing was working for me. So I would imagine that the versions that are closing immediately may have some sort of front camera configuration that is now not playing nice after the 2.5 update.
Definitely very strange, hoping a dev can nail this down, because I have been trying to use Samsung's camera app and, boy it's just not comparable to GCam, especially the front camera.

That's actually very helpful. Can you guys download the Camera API2 Probe app and post screenshots of what it says for Camera ID 1 and ID 3? This is mine for my Camera ID 1 on the older build.

I have attached the camera info.
It looks like the front facing camera is not giving RAW.
Also since I didn't mention it previously I am using a Snapdragon USA unlocked S20

Looks like both those IDs on the update don't allow RAW capture. That must be part of the problem. Do you know if it is fixable?

Thanks guys. Super useful info. I don't know if it's fixable but I'm passing the info to the gcam testing group that I'm in so hopefully one of the devs will see and know what to do about it.
