Hi Guys,
Twice now, when I went to use the camera the display was distored as though I had applied effects or incorrect gamma settings. This fixes itself when left alone but this is unrealiable.
Has anyone else had this issue? and if so is there a fix or is this a warranty issue?
Many thanks
Howard
Camera picture distortion
Only for a few seconds- or maybe just a second or so, it apperears as if the camera software is a bit slow adjusting gain when the application first loads.

I wish, unfortunately, this lasts for days. Everytime I use the camera app it's the same.
Do you know of a way to completly reinitialise the camera?

Hard reset your device by pushing on/off button (top left) and pinching the softreset at the same time

I have a problem with my IMate JASJAM. The camera app sometime behave weird and shows scrambled. After several reboots, it goes to normal. This has happened several times. I have tried hard reseting but so far no luck. The issues remains.
I am using the latest ROM version for IMATE JASJAM.
Any suggestions?
I have the T-Mobile varioII for only a few days.
The camera screen is displaying a line in the same position of the line just above the battery icon in the today screen. This seems to affect the use of the ok icon and button, in that it won't consistently save the settings. The line does disappear, but as soon as I use any buttons, it comes back.
Soft reset sometimes removes it until it reappears.
Do you have anything similar to this, or anyone comment please?
sorry, can't help there but here's my own camera problem:
After having to send back 3 tytns with screen alignment issues my 4th handset's screen works perfectly however on all 4 units the camera is crashing frequently, or sometimes just taking a blank, grey picture. I obviously want my camera set to best quality: 2m, superfine. When i take a pic where the light is good (mainly outside on a nice day) the tytn just switches to the today screen. If i try to access the camera app I get a "camera in use" error message, if i go to the running apps screen the camera app is not there to close, only solution is a soft reset, take a pic and it happens again.
The only workaround I have found is to set the camera to L, fine quality but i'm not happy with this - why have a 2mp camera that only works when it is dumbed down?
Surely i'm not the only one with this problem as all 4 sets had the same issue.
I'm loathe to send this one back in case the 5th set has the screen issue.
I faced the issue that my camera screen show scramble. And when I take the picture, the phone returns to the today screen, and when I tried to start the camera again, it gives me an error that the camera is already in use.
My problem of the camera having a line on the screen may not be the screen.
The line is appearing in the captured image. I didn't realise this until I rotated the image. So, it may be the camera/lens at fault.
I had the identical camera fault as described in the original post. Soft resets cleared the screen but the fault re-appeared after activating the camera. I had to pester the network into replacing my 1 mth old voda version. I have to admint the fault only started after I dropped the handset though.
lol well might as well add mine, my zoom doesnt work! Just will not shift from 1x
Schooleydoo, you know there is no zoom at 2 mp. It only works at lower resolutions and in increasing amounts the lower you set it..
Any solutions??
Hi,
Has any of you found the solution to the original problem? My phone's camera shows scrambled screen continuously and doesn't get back to normal.
Any ideas??

I have a scrambled screen too. It started when i was too low with memory, after 3rd warning phone turned off itself 3 times - it never happened before, some of the programms crashed for good, and camera shows camera menu but picture that camera sees is scrambled, so are the pictures taken. When I tried to take a video it showed that I am missing some codecs. After Flashing I can record videos and make pictures, but I get only this results...
:/ .... anybody have an idea?
I don't know what exactly happened... I flashed phone with the same WM6 and installed Webcamera plus v1.051, and TCPMP v 0.72 RC and camera still wasn't working, then suddenly it started to work a day after .. i don't know if it will help anybody, but.... i think that some codecs from those programs in some way overwrited phone codecs...but I am a new, so I may be wrong
Hi all,
I am absolutely loving my Leo but have noticed a problem with my camera. it takes about 30 seconds for the shutter round and for the photo to be taken. immediately after taking the photo my phone freezes with the camera shot on the screen. I have altered a few settings like disabling widescreen and have tried putting these back to default with no success. my camera has been working previously.
also I am seeing that red stripe in the photos that I have read about on here before. any help is greatly appreciated.
Have you tried a hard reset?
If that doesn't help, it's likely a hardware fault of the autofocus mechanism.
Hi all,
I've had my HD2 since around Christmas time and I love the device, but I've always had a problem with it's camera. This is not the usual "Pink cast" problem which I know is well documented, but rather a problem with the autofocus. Sometimes when I'm just playing with the camera it works fine, but most of the time (usually when I really want or need to photograph something) the camera cannot focus. It TRIES to focus, I can hear the lens moving and the image on the screen goes from very blurry, past the point of focus, back to blurry again and then the camera takes the photo blurry. It seems to be able to focus on my hand or anything else I hold very close to the lens, but anything else and 9 times out of 10 it will not focus properly. I've found that usually if I reboot the phone it will work for a while but then I've missed what I was trying to photograph in the first place. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this problem with their HD2?
Here's a few points I think are worth mentioning:
The handset's ROM is the standard one that came installed when it was new, I have never upgraded it or patched it (I know there was a patch for the camera but as far as I was aware this was to try to fix the pink cast problem, correct me if I'm wrong).
The problem occurs in all lighting conditions.
Touch focus is enabled but touching the screen results in the same problem, it tries to focus but fails. I feel that this is very likely to be a hardware problem but then on the other hand, why would restarting the phone make it better if it's a hardware fault?
Any help, input or shared experiences will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hey i have the same problem! i wanted to send my HD2 in to get it replaced but they said it was a software problem i dont really think so tho.
It would be really nice to see someone dev an app or a new rom that fixes this problem.
If i hear anything i will post what i know.
Hi,
excuse my poor english.....
I had the same problem with original italian ROM (1.66) until this summer.
On my device I have two applications that can increase the picture sharpness (BsB Tweaks, XTHackBeta2).
In these apps I enabled the "increase picture quality" but my pictures were always blurred, especially when there was plenty of sunlight.
I tryed to contact HTC Costumer service, they told me to have an hard reset but it did not solve the problem, also without no one applications installed on device.
It might seem stupid but, after that, I cleaned kindly but strongly the camera glass and I set the resolution camera to 1 Mb, making pictures and check how autofocus was working, then, step by step, I set to 5 Mb on camera configuration with Super fine quality pictures.
And I disabled any increasing picture quality on every apps (BsB, XT Hack)
It could be a miracle but I had never had the problem of autofocussing and pictures became very detailed and brighted
Same problem for me. Have a german 1.72 t-mob ROM.
Reducing the picture quality is not a solution for me.
In my case the problem occurs every time I try to make photos of any documents inside rooms, but with good light conditions. I need about 5-10 trials to make one well focussed photo. It's equal if I use autofocus or not.
If I go outside I can make very good photos from some natural objects, even when they are very close.
I enabled camera Superfine in BsB Tweaks.
A good amount of the time when I go to access the camera it loads the camera app and for a split second it shows a black screen and jumps right back to the home page. Sometimes resetting the phone will fix this but often a reset doesn't help. Is anyone else having this problem? Any fixes?
Thanks
sounds like a bad camera . I would take the unit in for warranty.
I'm having a couple of issues / annoyances that I cannot seem to find fixes or work arounds for.
Are these normal things that everyone is experiencing or is it a problem just with my N4, and may need to be replaced?
My phone is stock, and un-rooted.
1. Camera (main) continuously refocuses when in camera app. It only locks for a few seconds after taping the screen. A bit annoying but workable. The problem arises in Skype (and I guess in any other app), when using the main (back) camera it continuously focuses and refocuses every couple of seconds which makes it almost useless when trying to use the main camera to show the person on the other end something.
Is there a way to lock the focus, or tweak how often it refocuses?
2. Light sensor sensitivity: When brightness is set to auto, the brightness bumps up and down every minute or 2. The sensor is too sensitive or the software is too aggressive. I'm stationary and lighting in the room is constant, but I guess slight angle changes in my hand are causing enough fluctuations to initiate an adjustment. And the adjustments aren't smooth, they are steps, so they get annoying after a while.
Besides switching off auto brightness, is there a way to tweak sensor sensitivity?
bump.
no one else has these issues or is annoyed by them?

I have the focusing issue too. In Camera if I tap the screen to focus on something, it stays there for 3-4 seconds and then re-focuses at the center of the screen. Very annoying.
For the light sensor, I found that the automatic brightness was awful so I changed to manual brightness. Easier than tweaking I guess
about the camera, i've got the same issues as you
Ok thanks for the replies. At least I know I'm not having a one off issue particular to my unit.
Both of these issues should be software related, hopefully they will come to someone's attention and get sorted out. They're not deal breakers but annoyances that shouldn't be there in a final product imo.
Google is working on a patch for the camera right now. Sit tight and we should have a fix coming soon
