Photosphere doesn't do that one cool thing...

[leroyjenkins3000]

Hi!

My Nexus 4 Kit Kat must have updated the Photosphere camera or something recently. Before, I used to be able to click on a Photosphere pic I took, click the photosphere icon to go into viewing mode, and then click on the little recycle-looking arrows at the bottom to view the photosphere real-time (aka, wave it around my head and look in any direction to virtually see what's around me).

For some reason recently, I can no longer do this, and the arrow icon is gone. Just a bug or is it gone for everyone else? Is there a way I can get the virtual-effect back instead of manually scrolling through the sphere??

Thanks!

It should still be there. I suggest going into Settings > Manage apps, and clearing cache and data for the camera app. It should be okay after a reboot.

Another possibility: It's easy to confuse the Photosphere with Panorama. The immersion-mode ("recycle") arrow does not appear in panorama mode.
