    Camera Distortion- Is this what I have to live with?

    Good looking pics. I decided to use GIMP to see how it would do. Filters > Distorts > Lens Distortion. Changed the main slider to +40. Wow, what a big difference! People look normal now. Portrait or landscape. Thanks for the directions. Definitely a pain in the butt. Maybe our cameras...

    Camera Distortion- Is this what I have to live with?

    Wow, somebody else that has the same issue here...oh well, gotta see the new Pixel when it comes out. Possibly switch to iPhone or change the camera unit.

    Camera Distortion- Is this what I have to live with?

    This is mine on Verizon. Definitely carrier dependent, I suppose. Although I have not updated to the latest security patch yet due to complaints on this board. I always wait and there is no description of a camera fix.

    Camera Distortion- Is this what I have to live with?

    Best thread I saw about edge distortion. Two thirds down talks about a switch for shape correction. I'm assuming they are talking about the rear camera too. https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/4i4319/major_image_distortion_in_the_corners_on_the_s7/?st=iqypopzb&sh=2b08321e Here is one...

    Camera Distortion- Is this what I have to live with?

    There is only shape correction for the front camera. I have read that there is an update for other versions of the S7, but nothing for the Verizon version

    Camera Distortion- Is this what I have to live with?

    nahoku, thanks for the reply. I guess nobody else has issue with the camera, 1 total reply. I tried to duplicate it with other phones at the Verizon store. Seems they all have something to that effect in the corner. It seems silly that I wouldn't be able to compose a photo by the thirds rule...

    Camera Distortion- Is this what I have to live with?

    I have a Verizon Samsung S7 that was purchased in April. Didn't buy any insurance. I have been noticing distortion from the rear camera. I've been Googling it and there are not many posts. I saw one on Redit and nothing ever came of it. I've been told in the photo thread that it is part of...

    Photos taken with the S7/S7 Edge

    Not as obvious as yours, but more pronounced in the close up second image. The upper right corner is where I notice faces being dragged towards the center. I think the second image is rotated. Sort of like the troll meme of the third picture. I need to find a picture of anonymous people...

    Photos taken with the S7/S7 Edge

    Wow, that's interesting. I took that same exact picture with an amsler grid on Sunday to investigate.I have been noticing that people will be distorted when I take a picture if they are on my right. I never noticed this with the s5. It bothers me because it's usually my kids faces. I tried...

    [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep (legacy) Unlimited Data on Verizon

    Re: [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep Unlimited Data on Verizon I'm going to get a S7 tonight on my wife's TDP line through a 2 year upgrade. I have some questions. I still have UDP with the S5. How long do I have to wait to switch this new phone over to my number after activation...

    Verizon rolls out Stagefright patch for Galaxy S5

    Am I correct to assume that one has to be already up to date with lollipop to get the stagefright patch? I'm still holding out on kitkat. Unrooted. I didn't see an answer anywhere. Thanks.

    Minor update for Verizon S5?

    I wonder if Verizon is still going to drag their asses with 5.1 since T-Mobile has already put it out. Verizon was first with 5.0, but it apparently sucked. Does this light a fire under Verizon? Probably not....

    Minor update for Verizon S5?

    Great find. I hope more people chime in and report that it's more of an improvement than what is on Verizon's website(bloatware). Considering how much people ***** and moan its been very quiet. The download must not be in full swing yet.

    Minor update for Verizon S5?

    So does this mean that it is only a label that it's OD5? No other improvements based on other changelogs throughout the world? Ironass' other posts have suggested that lollipop has really matured on the latest version in the wild. That's sad that they would only change those certain things and...

    So who hasn't upgraded?

    I'm still holding out with 4.4.2 on Verizon until something potentially more stable like 5.1 is released. There has so many issues posted on here. It might be a long wait.....
