Help Blurry Pictures

I recently got my Note 2 and am not impressed with the camera picture taking abilities what so ever for indoor shots. When trying to take pics indoors they are coming out blurry and have to take multiple pics to hopefully get a good one. I came from an iphone and no matter the setting my pictures were always good. Is there something I am doing wrong? I know this is a phone and not a camera, but this is very annoying.
 
Good advice NSA Sailor........ mine takes super photos also make sure the lens is clean a fingerprint smudge can easily be overlooked
 
Haven't messed with it much, but if you tap on the screen you can choose an item on which to focus. Photos that I took were often focusing on items in the background. I just had to tap on a face or on an object of interest to get the images to focus properly. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that I just need to change, but I haven't bothered to look, yet. I know next to nothing about photography.
 
Mine takes crappy photos, unlike my old Droid Charge which took great ones. Not sure what to do here; the anti-shake setting is grayed out.

it's grayed out if certain options are chosen. from what I can gather, anti-shake isn't the same as Image Stabilization.

It was grayed out for me when all the camera settings were default (no changes from brand new phone).

go to settings and hit "Reset" in the camera app. then tell me if you can now choose anti-shake (be sure to set Storage to Memory card if that's what you want, following the Reset)

I resolved blurry pictures by going into "Applications" and selecting "Settings", then selecting "Accessibility", and finally, unchecking "Negative colours".

I haven't seen anyone recommend cleaning the lens. :D

Actually, post #4. :D;)

But good thinking.


I'm using Photoblur on the new Google Camera app and it's great on my Note2. I need to experiment more but for an amateur photographer, I did alright
