Hi All,
Are there any cameras around that will allow you to zoom. It does not look like the stock one has that ability. Same thing for video.
Also, anyone have a good way to clean this damn screen? Its a real fingerprint magnet! LOL

Hey mobi, I think it's something that just has to be switched on, because on my stock ROM I have zoom on both the camera and the video camera. It's not great, but it's there, it appears when you hit the little slider icon right under the shutter button.
It's possible that I have it available (where you don't) because I've activated all the "extra" camera and video modes with BsB Tweaks, and I guess the zoom is apparently one of them. I thought it was there all along, but if you don't see it on your stock ROM, then that's probably how you can turn it on
Thanks for the info. I do have it I guess I just needed to look harder. Seems like there are a lot of hidden things on here.
I was looking through the manual on the HTC site the other day and even some of the settings that they were talking about were not on there.
An example would be the conference call feature, the landscape mode (which I've somewhat fixed with the landscape cab except even in landscape I have to flick up and down and not left to right on images, etc) and a few others.
Oh well, it’s a learning experience. Just wish they'd enable everything and let us decide what to leave on or turn off.

I think there's a lot of people here who would agree with that sentiment
However, there's probably exactly the same number of people here who would say, "Just wish they would disable everything and let us decide what to turn on or leave off" LOL

Of all the rotation features why do they disable it in mms? Every picture I have forces me to view in landscape mode. Pictures originally taken in landscape mode come out fine and the portrait seem to be on the small size. Is there any regedit or "hack" to fix this?
Save the file(s) and view in the Photos and Videos tab?
Tis what I do.
That is absolutely obnoxious... plus the pictures come in small for as large as the screen is.

i don't quite know what you are referring to as obnoxious, I don't exactly see people bending over backward to help you, and as I said that is what I do.
Rotate Screen might work, I don't know I don't have any MMS's since I last hard reset.
Search the forums for MMS fix.
It'll fix the small picture size real well.

Tried all the fixes and they either remain the current size or smaller. I looked at our demo HD2's and all my buddy's HD2's and they are all the same. If the picture was originally taken in landscape mode it is considerable larger than one taken in portrait. Maybe I'm being just too picky I figured a MMS would come in full screen but that isn't anywhere near the case.

I appreciate the input... I mean having to save the picture to get it to rotate is the obnoxious part. Do all MMS pictures play as a slide show? What happened to the old days where someone sent you a picture and it just displayed no fancy slide show. I feel the slide show time indicator as well as the play and pause is what is causing the issues... it takes up like 1/4 of the screen if not more
I have this problem as well, and I don't think it's the same as what the others have posted about small mms sizes. I have tried enabling rotation for messages and albums app using BSB Tweaks, but it's a no go. Also, is anybody else having the same problem as me where an image mms file will play as a 10 second video clip when opening from messages?
EDIT: jvcjbl I think I am experiencing the same problem as you where it plays as a 10 second slide show. No clue how to fix this.
Hey guys, I've searched around but didn't find anything useful.
I'm trying to figure out a way to always have the camera in GPS Photo mode. For obvious reasons that I want to geotag all the picture that I take in the camera...kinda like the iPhone and many Android phones. In those phones, there's an easy way to just enable or disable geotagging.
Any ideas??

Hmmm...once I put the camera in GPS mode, it stays there until I manually change it, even through closing the camera and reopening it, and through soft-resets too.
See that's exactly what I want but it keeps switching to normal mode. btw I'm using EnergyROM 23569 Cookie - May, 28th release, if that helps any.

rvashi, what method are you using to put the camera in gps mode...are you doing it through the footprints tab? If so, there's actually a tweak to unlock that directly in the camera's settings, that's how I turn on geotagging.

I start Camera and then select the GPS Photo mode from the settings button at the bottom. I think that's the same way you are doing it. But mine is not sticking to GPS Photo mode for some very odd reason.

i'm not a developer but i had an idea for a tweak/app that would be useful to me and hopefully a lot of other people. I just came home from a vacation and took a ton of pictures with my Evo and grew frustrated by the lack of a dedicated camera button. i was wondering if it would be possible to make one of the volume buttons take the picture. I would want this only when the camera app is open of course. I know the volume buttons can be re-routed because of how they are used to scroll up and down through web pages in the Dolphin HD browser. Can anyone tell me if this would be possible or if its already been done? i've done some research into this and didn't come up with anything. I thought i would ask the great group of developers we have here at PPCG. Thanks everyone!!! (HTC Evo)
+1 Was just looking for something like this.
Searching everywhere for this. Alot of people would appreciate it!
This is a great idea! I'm surprised it hasn't been done on the EVO yet. At least I haven't seen any App/hack that can make the EVO do this. I hope it's possible and I hope someone can make it happen. Fingers crossed.
I like the idea...but have a slightly different motive. I'm on an X which has a dedicated camera button, however, when I'm using it as an audioplayer in my pocket, while it's possible for me to turn the volume up and down with the rocker, I can't actually pause the audio...so I plan to find a way to re-route one of the buttons somehow to be a play/pause button...

This is already available via the Camera Zoom FX app on the market. Not free, but is there. However I have found that it is buggy as hell.
Bugs I have noticed:
1. Pictures won't save. It's like they are stored in the cache. You take a picture, go to gallery to view it and it won't be there. If you reboot the phone it will be.
2. The "FX" don't always work. There are several effects that come stock with the app. They frequently don't do what they are supposed to or won't load at all. I have found that you can exit the program via the back buttons and then start it again to get the FX to load, but even that has stopped working.
3. It actually asks you to download Task Killer the first time you open the app. Going on about camera apps using memory and all. So in other words it has a memory leak and instead of fixing it they want you to manually kill the task.
It does what some in this thread are asking for. However I wouldn't suggest you buy it.
Pictures taken in PORTRAIT (with just holding the phone straight up) do not save EXIF data correctly, and are shared as LANDSCAPE when "Shared" to Messaging, Gmail, etc. This is ****ing embarrassing.
You can try out Camera 360. I love that app and use it as my default photo app, I have the paid version. It might resolve your issue. Since I have not gotten my phone yet I cannot test to see if it works.
Link to free version.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/vStudio.Android.GPhoto
You sure it's not just your web browser, or Gmail? I haven't checked in a while, but Exif rotational data was rarely used in browsers in recent history. Try opening your photo using the new version of Picasa to see if it's rotated correctly.
No, it is still screwed up. Take a picture in portrait. Then click "Share" to Messaging, Gmail, Facebook, whatever. It will preview as a sideways (landscape) photo, thus looking stupid.
It does preview that way, have you confirmed it sends that way?

Yes, I've confirmed that it "shares" that way to Messaging, Gmail and Picasa, and of course Facebook.
Interestingly enough, the original Droid has this problem. It doesn't seem to bother anyone. This is a huge bummer. No idea how to fix this.
Also after taking a photo, and previewing it, the whole screen orientation is in Landscape, no matter what you do. Keyboard open, keyboard closed - all the same. That's frustrating as well. Anyone got any ideas or insight?
Try using a photo editor such as PicSay and rotating the picture into landscape. Then maybe when you send it, it will send the right way
That definitelyorks, although I prefer Photoshop Express. But that is an honest unecessary hassle.

Bugs the hell out of me.
As far as I can tell there is no portrait mode on the Epic - that's why all of the controls are locked to landscape mode and rotating the phone doesn't do shiz.
I really hope they fix this.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The EVO 4G used to be like that, but in the Froyo 2.2 update they made it so the controls will auto-orientate to portrait mode. But, when you used to take photos pre-Froyo, they would always rotate correctly.
I've been rotating my photos in Photoshop Express but holy **** it compresses the hell out of them, making them go from 1MB~ to almost 30kB. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe our Froyo update will fix the whole shebang. I really hope that Samsung didn't just frak me over with a crippled crappy phone that doesn't get bug fixes like they did with my Intrepid (the bastard child of Windows Mobile and Samsung) - Galaxy S is their flagship and they need to get on top of stuff.
I am not getting this issue. Can you give me the steps to duplicate it?
I pressed the camera button.
I took a portait picture.
I went into gallery.
I shared with both Picasa and emailed via gmail to myself.
In both it was displayed as Portait.
I noticed this last night. It's extremely annoying. Have to go on photoshop express as well.

Again, I am not getting this issue at all. Can someone detail how to duplicate it?
This could be a usage pattern thing. I detailed how I did it, and it works fine. What are you guys doing differently? If needed I can make a video showing that it works for me.

I am doing the exact same thing as what you're doing, and still getting pictures showing up as landscape, when they were taken with the phone held straight up.
Do you notice after you take a picture and click the PLAY button from the camera UI, the whole "preview" mode is in landscape?

No, in preview they are also correctly in Landscape. Perhaps you need to have the phone in portrait when you start the camera application?
Even while the camera app is loaded I took one picture in Landscape, then Portrait. Both displayed correctly in preview and after emailing.
I can feel your frustration though, that would be lame if it didn't do that. I will make a video tonight, not sure if it will help, but it might give you hope. As a last resort maybe you should try a hard reset back to defaults? I hate to recommend that, but it might work. Seeing as mine works and I have not tweaked anything camera related.
p.s. This might not be related, but I did not get the OTA patch after starting my phone, my GF's epic did. So my phone shipped already patched. I will test her camera tonight as well.
Settings > About Phone > Hardware Version = D700.0.5
my phone does the same thing and it annoys me A LOT
Hi guys
I know it is mention that when you take pictures with the flash on, it has a green tint.
But even the normal camera (Without flash) has lots of exposure, is there some camera software or something, to try and enhance the camera quality?
I must say, on WM 6.5, the pictures was outstanding, but there has to be something one can do to try and get the complete camera functionality back?
Thanks!

This does not get rid of the tint. Unless there ia some new update to it. I never understood the purpose of this app.
Use foto enhancer

I have the same problem and the only fix that I use is "Foto Enhancer"
is a free aplication and you can downloar from market place. When open the foto tap in the three dots and open "extras" then "photo enhancer" will show up and use it to change the appeareance of your photos.
Yeah, I gotta agree. The camera & this second app take the same pictures with the same green tint?! So the app is useless for me. This is the only "real" problem I have running WP7 on my HD2. Other than that it's pretty flawless, for me.
The tint is driver related.
The Second camera app fixes the issue of auto focus, and it saves your previous settings, so their is plenty of points to use it instead.
I second that...I´m deeply impressed by the usability of WP7 (didn´t think that it will be that smooth ). The one and only thing I´m really disappointed with is the camera. At this moment I can´t say that I´m missing something from Android except for Vignette, which was a very useful camera app that makes me made outstanding photos!
I really hope that there will be an opportunity for devs to get a better driver from somewhere... (but where should this somewhere be? )

I am with you on that one, i was sceptical upgrading to WP7, but i must say, it rocks. I love the automation of the software, contacts integration into Facebook....
Fantastic, the camera tho, is not good at all.
Hope some of the Devs, get a fix for the driver, as the Camera was untouchable on WM 6.5....
Where to get the build?

The camera is the only reason I had to go back to WP 6.5 and or Android. My wife always has me taking pics when we go out and uploading to FB lol. The green tint is unacceptable. Can't wait for a fix so i can reinstall 7.

I must say, foto enhancer works quite nicely.
It does not help for the green tint on the flash, but for the rest of the photos, it works wonders.....
All my fotos has over exposure........... that fixes it with the auto enhancer.
