Help Received 4.2 Update Photosphere not Working

I received 4.2 this morning from Verizon. I went to check out photosphere and I'm not getting any blue dots like I see in all the screen shots and videos...I just have an arrow and moving the phone does nothing

here's a screen shot...does anyone have a clue why?

before the ota did you mess with any system apps? For example, I'm still on 4.1.1 because I installed photosphere already, so I have to go back and change back to stock 4.1.1 camera before accepting the OTA, and even then, it's probably going to get screwy and I'll have to do a factory reset or flash the factory image (once it comes out).

One thing to try might be erasing all data for the camera app and/or gallery app. Of course, you might want to back up all your photos before doing that... not sure if that would actually delete photos from your sdcard, in theory it shouldn't.

what this guy said. if all else fails, do a factory reset. its a pain, but its worth it to get photosphere working 100%.

i can't stop using it!
