Missing 3D Camera App

alexisc — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 11:05:26 GMT

I have a four-day old Xperia TX. I cannot seem to find the 3D Camera app in my app drawer, but it appears in Settings -> Apps. How do I use my phone's 3D Camera/make it appear in the app drawer? The 3D Album is missing too. I have upgraded my ICS shortly after my phone purchase.

Same here... I never was able to find this option... never since the first day I got the phone.

That sounds a bit strange. Let me check and get back to you.

if it helps, I remember it dissapeared when I updated to 195 firm.

When I got the phone I remember that I saw this 3D camera. But I updated as soon as I got it, so...

On the xperia p this is how to use 3d camera on ics, this will probably work on TX too i guess.

On the xperia p the sepparate 3d camera app is removed as well.

The normal camara should have 3d capability.

Tap the Icon in the upper lef corner of the screen (SCN auto by default) and select 3d sweep panorama. 3D support is probably merged into the standard album app.

I hope this helps!

Nope...

3D Camera is totally lost on the Xperia T firm 195...

No 3D panorama, just panorama... the 3D options is just gone... sure Sony took out this option that was supposed to be one of the main things about the camera.

Anyways, if the pictures without the 3D are terrible, I wont imagine gow they'll look with the 3D

Any idea of where is the 3D option?

I know... I did read your post.

Well, I am still missing some answer regarding my post called "About the camera"...

Looks like all the big troubles on this phone turns around the camera.

Perhaps they will fix it some day.

Not much confidence about that.

@johan can we get sphere camera with Jelly Bean

and also an angle free panoramic camera, that way the panoramic will stop when we release the camera button and/or tap on the screen or the on screen button, that will help a lot to avoid the gray areas in the pictures.

I noticed we still have this in the 'Apps' section of Settings... yet no way of using it.

Re: Missing 3D Camera App

Same here.

They said that probably it will be fixed in the next update (that they don't know when it will be released)...

We'll see.

Unfortunately the 3D camera is not supported in Xperia T, TX and the instructions in the users guide are unfortunately a mistake and will be corrected. The app exists in the system but unfortunately it's not supported by the phone.

But the phone supports viewing of 3D images on a TV. Too bad that older models support shooting in 3D.

Thanks for the wonderful new from Sony... you sell a product with an information that it's not true, because one of the most impressive about this phone was the camera and the 3D camera.

One of them, does terrible pictures, and the other one it was a fake. How nice... this is a good way of selling, isn't it?

1).... maybe a CFW will fix what Sony is totally unable to fix

2).... time to explain this fake on the net.

I'm no expert but surely to shoot 3d you'd need two front facing cameras anwyay like the HTC Evo?

Re: Missing 3D Camera App

Daloch — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:27:15 GMT

I would say that this phone support 3D camera. Just search on the net.

Obviously, if sony wishes to fix this issue and other ones that the camera has, like the bad qualiy of the pictures.

I think the question is... will sony fix this, and add the 3D again (like other firmwares on the net) and fix the camera to get decent pictures or will not listen to the costumers?

what a bummer, any word on adding this feature to the T/TL/TX

Re: Missing 3D Camera App

Daloch — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:09:22 GMT

It is unreal, they sell a product with a feature that then, after they sell lots of phones, they say that it is not supported!!!, that is called LIE TO THE COSTUMERS.

As I said before, thanks God, there are people making good work with this phone, not like Sony.

With a few more time, we will see REAL GOOD PICTURES and other things that for Sony are "not supported" in this phone.

Come on!, they don't even know all what this phone is able to do!!!

Anyways, would be REALLY GOOD if they learn from other companies.

I'm almost certain that this phone it's more than capable of taking 3D panorama and 3D multiangle pictures, it might not be added so that feature could be add it to another phone (as a selling point)
