Hey everyone
I have the HD2 with the brand new official 1.66 rom and have only fiddled with a couple of icon changes and HD wall background. I have only noticed this since yesterday night, but my camera will now not focus. It doesnt matter how long I leave it to focus it just never happens, hence all of my pictures are blurry.
No other application seems to be affected, and I have looked at the camera lens and it looks clean.
Anyone have any ideas?
(Edit: Thats meant to say Camera Blur in the title - couldnt figure out how to edit it!)
Edit2: Yay I figured out how to edit the title!
Bump: Anyone got any ideas? I have a feeling that me mis typing the title will stop people viewing!
Well can you believe it. It has fixed itself. I have no idea what i have done though. It wouldnt focus on anything for nearly a day now, but i jsut checked it and it seems fine. How odd!

how come the camera on the XDA is horrible, its grainy and dark... i tried adjusting the settings but then after i closed and reopened the camera quality was back to being bad again. is there a fix for this or is that how the camera is.
I mainly use the night mode indoors and save the auto mode for outside. Make sure you work out the settings with your computer; the best pictures on the PDA aren't always the best on the computer and vice-versa.
Oh yeah, I don't think you can make most of the settings stick other than the auto/daylight/dark etc. mode.
I have another problem with my camera...
When i take a shot, the image displayed in the viewfinder before capturing, is perfectly lit with the right brightness-contrast etc.
But when i capture an image, it brightens it up until the image bleeds, and its terrible....I tried to adjust different settings, but it still did the same.
Its good for night shots, but during day time, i get 80% of my pixels completely white!
Not too bothered, as the camera is actually pointless for me....and besides, i'm not the "take pictures often" kinda guy!

read my camera tweak topic.

i found turning off 3g, and using gsm has helped a lot with all aspects of my phone. the camera looks a LOT better compared to a week ago when it was on 3g. back then, i thought it was completely unusable..thats how bad the quality was. and i had tried night time mode indoors, and it all jjust came out blurred
where's the camera tweak post? i'm starting not to like this phone, there is way to many tweaks and changes that have to be done to it just to make it an 'ok' usable phone.

What ROM version are you using? We are all referring to the latest I-Mate and QTEK ROM. You might be using the old version of O2 which does not have those pixel dots.

In these days i'm using camera and i have this problem, is there a solution???
If anyone is still there I havve a problem. When I tried to update it. i think it failed and got stuck on the serial v1.00 botloader. Luckily I found a way to fix that. May one of you please supply the 1.30.79 WWE QTEK-TMobile rom please I cannot find it. Also I ahve a 4gb that's not working with my device. Could it be possible that my rom is to old and the update for 4gb cards haven't been set in place fo r that rom? This the only time I've heard of a 4g card not working. Please help. I think its a 2005 rom
Hi all,
I have had HTC phones right from the XDA (1) and i've had all the different range. I must say that either i'm a slow learner or just a little stupid. I can't honestly think of why I always go for this line of phones. even to the point of having 4 different tele numbers in the last 6 years just to keep up (swapping between O2 and Orange more than a few times).
.....well, still have not learnt my lesson!
I had my M3100 the day it was released. even drove a 2 hour round trip to (parcel-line depot) to get it.
After playing with my new toy I found that the camera can cause a few problems with the phone. on all occasions I get one of three happenings (in equal measure)
1: the camera function takes the image and displays the image (as is normal)
2: the camera takes an image of nothing, complete blank (no i'm not blocking the the lens)
3: the camera takes the image and them closes the program rendering the camera useless.
I've done all the usual - resetting and hard reset. nothing helps and the phone has done this from new.
Orange have already sent a new one out - I get it tomorrow! I would like to know if this is a one off?
Why am i stupid - well because maybe i'm unlucky, but i have never had an HTC phone that has not needed to be returned at least twice!!!
It maybe because I get them as soon as they come out, or just, as i said, just plain bad luck.
still I've got another 25 days where Orange will replace with new.
will I need it?
Let me know if anyone eles has problems with their M3100 camera?

Hi
As you can see in my previous message i have same issues with camera.........I dont know what to do
Camera Problem M3100
I also have the problem of taking images that are blank. The problem appears to occur less often at lower resolutions.
Is it a hardware or software problem?
The problem with blank/black pics can sometimes be resolved by removing the micros sd card, putting it back in and soft reset. It worked for me.
Good Luck
I had the same camera problems you have been experiencing (camera app crashing -> unusuable until next reboot) or taking blank pictures after a few successfull ones. I traced the problem to the Super Fine quality setting, having changed it into Fine I have not had a single problem with the camera application. Seems like there is a memory buffer overflow problem or something like that when using the Super Fine setting.
Anyway, I have not noticed any quality problems with the Fine setting compared to Super Fine, so this should solve the problem you have.

Thanks for that nAmCE. Just looked at my default settings on my varioII. It was set to 'Fine' and worked with no probs. Adjusted it to 'Superfine' and it resulted in blank picture, so have re-adjusted to 'Fine' and all's back to normal. Well done for finding that one out. :lol:
Thanks 4 the feedback. I was using 'superfine' setting. I've now changed to 'fine' and no problems so far.
Thanks again.
Thanks for help - now I feel a little bit guilty over the 2 other phones replaced by orange (must say excellent service when reporting a faulty phone, next day delivery of brand new phone with a new 28 day replacement warranty)
Still I guess Orange should test the system better as even the latest phone still does it. However, going into fine mode is ....fine!
Thanks once again!
Hi, Ive only recently found the wonders of the cooked Rom and for the most part I have been hugely impressed with the speed and features of many a great build.
However I seem to be experiencing a problem with my Hero's camera with whatever build I use whether it is Cronos's or Froydvillian. Every now and again when I open the camera application the phone forcibly reboots. This never happens the first time opening the app after booting up but always after ive been using the phone for a while and have opening up the app before.
Does anyone have any clue whats causing this? I got rather annoyed today when I missed out getting a pic of what I believe was an old spitfire being hauled through London on the back of a truck due to the phone rebooting!
Ok, so I'm the same guy who had the torch/camera/camcorder problems a couple weeks ago on CM7.
I thought (for some reason) that a new nightly would fix my problems...so I've patiently waited and finally nightly 96 came out. Didn't fix it.
Unfortunately, I just SBF'ed and then checked my camera...which now doesn't work on stock either.
The thing that makes me think it ISN'T hardware related is that my torch doesn't work either.
Also, the camera application doesn't even attempt to take a picture (as it does on CM7) it simply blackscreens...and if I press the camera button (either physical or on-screen) it either locks up or does nothing but act like it took a picture. Nothing shows up in the gallery either.
Again, my torch/camera/camcorder worked FINE before. And I'm pretty careful with my phone...I haven't dropped it or anything like that.
HOWEVER, The camcorder seems to record sound...and a pitch black screen.
Odd.
So...
As a potential fix, I flashed the maderstcok340.zip after formatting system and wiping cache.
Still no camera/torch.
SBF'ed AGAIN...still no camera/torch.
Possible fixes from my prior thread that were never fully executed:
Init.mapphone_umts.rc <---is this file able to be swapped from phone to phone?
Or is it safe to post the file here for ya'll to verify that everything is how it should be?
Duplicate .lib files were also mentioned.
Where should I be looking for those?
I just downloaded "alogcat" from the market since my symptoms don't match up with the usual problems we have...
Here's what it spit out:
http://pastebin.com/SGLsneFv
In case it's needed...
I started alogcat.
Pressed the Hard Camera Button.
Tried to take a picture.
(Had to back out of camera app in order to switch to camcorder)
Toggled Light to *on*
Recorded a couple of seconds with the camcorder.
Edit:
After me and razorloves_DX from rootzwiki went on a spamming session of toubleshooting...we've decided this is definitely a hardware problem.
Feel free to ignore this thread, as I'll have to send my phone in to fix it =/
First, my quick boost setting still works. This is not about that. Before taking the latest update, I could hit the shutter about 5 times a second and it would react just as quickly and take pictures. After the update, it barely takes 1 picture every 10 seconds.
Is there a shutter speed setting I'm missing somewhere?
Has this happened with anyone else?
Thanks.
Anyone? TIA.
I dont have the sprint phone, i have the att, however, i had this issue after an update. Im not on stock anymore so i cant recall what setting it is, but one of the quick settings is for a type of smart camera....where as the camera actually takes multiple shots, but only keeps one. It does this to try and get the best picture. Find it and disable it, see if it helps.

I have gone through all of the settings and don't see anything like that. What you are explaining sounds like exactly what could be causing this though, so I am intrigued. Can anyone chime in?
