Xperia Z2 with Google Camera Photosphere only produces Crap Pics Help or suggestions needed.

Hi,

I have the same problems with my Sony Xperia Z2

I hope somebody has found a solution for this.

I really like the phone and it would be a pity to have to sell it again because i use Photosphere a lot.

Actually, I was completely satisfied with the Experia Z2.
The camera also superb! Close-Up DSLR quality.

But the main reason for the purchase was the possibility to use Google Photospere for private and professional use.

Unfortunately, I have now found that my Xperia Z2 in conjunction with Google photosphere only produces images that are really not worth to be published .Errors and blurry spots and areas in ANY! Image.

I must say that I already tried all possible settings and resolutions .I have downloaded the latest version of Google camera and on the Z2 runs Android 4.4.4

I do not mean the normal error or is not appropriate Stiching but quite massive focus error.

For comparison, I previously had a Note 3 with an 8 MP camera.
The Note 3 I sold again only because of bad connection quality.
But the Note 3 has perfect spherical panoramas generated without the error occurring in the Xperia Z2.
So the app is not the problem.

My guess is that the Z2 camera focuses just completely wrong when creating some of the images.
And Google photosphere can of course also generated solely those blurred images with.

I would not like to have to sell the Z2 again because I completely satisfied bin.Everything else works well with everything outside photosphere.

If someone has had similar experiences or if someone has a solution for this I would be very grateful.

I have here some excerpts panorama link so that you can see what I mean.

This blurring spots and areas are common to all views and in a wide variety of lighting situations and settings.

And here to compare a Panorama from my previous Note 3 with exactly the same App (not edited )

If i sent the phone to the repair service most likely they'll tell me they are not responsible for any non Sony Apps behaviour.

But actually no other Z2 user i talked to so far had this problem.

Try to master reset the phone

This might be a simple solution but try it 

uninstall the app > restart your phone > install the app > if you experience the same issue, contact the app developer, in this case Google, regarding this, just like any other app or game, if it work with a phone it might not work on other phones, that could be a compatibility issue.

Hello,

Well i already resetted the phone.

Hello,

Yes i will contact Google now.I talked to other Z2 users and they didn't have the same problem with Photosphere.

So it must be my phone.

Unfortunately everything else works well with the phone cam, so Sony will not agree to an exchange when just 1 external app doesn't

work on the phone.

Sadly photosphere is the function most important for me and was the main reason to decide for this phone.

But photosphere its available for other Phones, not just Xperias. 

Here is something you could try 

repair your phone with PCC and then Do NOT install any app just photosphere and try again.

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

Hi I also have the same problem, I use Z2 Google Camera and Photo Sphere takes nothing but crap pictures. The image combinations are terrible compared to galaxy Note 3, blurs everywhere, chair split into two, door is cracked into pieces, table is Hot Wheels 'Trick Tracks',etc. Please give me the solution or at least tell me what is the problem. Thanks
