Samsung Galaxy j8 mobile Google camera not installed all versions
Thank you, it was really helpful. However, with v8.3b version 2, My photos still have a pink tint when I take a picture in normal condition with enough time for the camera to focus (a white circle appears). But when I quickly move the phone right before taking the photo, it doesn’t have the pink tint and looks normal (but blurry obviously). Same thing when I use Lens blur mode, It looks normal. I’ve followed all the instruction, but I can’t figure what is causing the issue :/
