Hello,
YES!, YES!, I know I'm noob....my first post yeah...OK to the question, when I take pictures using my HD2, and send them to my computer, the pictures don't like as neat and high def as the samples on the phone. I was just wondering if there is way to make it at least a bit more crisp and decent looking than the poor quality and blurness that i get now. The resolution is set to the highest..contrast normal, etc..ANY TIPS...Thank you...
get your hands on BsB Tweaks. Simple .cab install. It has a few options for 'hidden' settings for the camera and camcorder.
I'll do thanks...will that me it sharper??
Honestly I've not done a lot of comparisons, but it does add a SUPERFINE option to the camera, so that has to be worth something!
Finehood, what's the highest resolution setting you see in your camera menu? There should be a 5MP (2592x1552) setting available on there...it's on the second page of resolution options so make sure you didn't miss that.
If you don't see it there, then the BsB option jimbonics mentioned will add that in addition to the "superfine" mode. It also adds a couple of other modes you might like, so it's worth checking out. If you can't or won't use BsB, then they're available as just a regular cab too.
thanks...guys..
thank you guys....and yes I do have it in 5mp, but still the quality looks awful, but I'll be getting the bsb tweak...that sounds like it might fix my problems..any other suggestion is welcome!!!!THANK YOU

(the last one on that list is what we've already suggested above)
thanks again...
good tips...I'll keep you guys post it if it gets better!!
Are you having a lot of noise problems ? Unfortunately that's not going to go away. If you're expecting some quality pictures like what a real camera would take you'll be quite disappointed . I've tried tweaking it myself left and right and every which way possible. I've seen some sample pictures from the EVO and even with it's 8MP cam it does not look a whole lot better.
good to know..
actually, u know what..i kind of knew that it would never be close to a regular picture cam, but with the high megapixels at least i was expecting something decent...but thank you...I did the bsb tweaks and got a bit better...the hidden tricks are all right...thanks everyone..
the fact is HD2 cam is poorer than HD's. I have both devices, HD in default (auto) settings takes very well pix, and HD2 (even after tweaks) takes puctures "ugly". The overall temperature of the shot is in grey tones domination, while HD take very realistic, closer to simple digicams. If anybody has an answers, please comment. Would be great if we will be able to take pix even just HD does.
When you take a picture and look at it from your computer is the size of the picture the same as the HD2's screen?
I'll usually just right click on the picture and send it to paint, click on image, then stretch/skew function. I'll reduce it to at least 50% / 50% and work my way down from there. That usually increases the image quality for me. I don't need a picture the size of three of my computer screens. Hope it helps.
When in doubt my friend photoshop is your friend
right...
photoshop will do the fixing for us....jiji...but like i said before i was just wondering if there was a way to make it better...like a tweak or a .cab, etc. bsb is not bad, but it doen't make the image any better in quality...but good tweak really good tweaks..

What we have here folks is a hardware problem not a software problem. Well actually a little bit of both . All the software tweaks out there does help a bit compared to the stock camera but that's as far as your going to get. Software can only do so much and there isn't a magical software solution when you are coupled with a lousy quality camera lens. The fact is HTC has probably cheapened out the quality of the camera lens compared to earlier phones but regardless the HD2 is a phone first not a camera. Short of replacing the whole lens there's very little software can do when the hardware isn't up to par.
I've had my HD2 since June 30th and believe me this thing takes MUCH BETTER pics than my Blackberry Bold 9700 did at 3.2MP and that phone took some really nice pictures.
I think it depends on the environment your in at the time. I took a few close up pics of my Wife and kids and those images came out beautiful. I also took some scenery shots in landscape and those images came out awsome as well. I took some pics inside the Tennessee Aquarium and had mixed results. As long as the lighting was good the images came out great. In darker settings the images were not as sharp.
I do use BsB Tweeks and I also have my resolution set to 5MP. I'm not sure why your camera is producing such awful images but I'm very pleased with mine.

Is it awful? He never posted any samples of his pictures. Are you really pleased because I'm not. How good the pictures actually look to an individual are highly subjective. I would hardly consider the pictures I've taken pleasing but I'm just going to have to settle.
I think the problem here is that finehood is really picky and had high expectations. I'm assuming what he had in mind were quality pictures closer to that of a real camera.
Sounds like user error to me. Try wiping your lens before taking pics. . My HD2 takes great pics.
Pop...
Take a picture at max resolution. Then copy that picture over to your pc. View that picture at 100%. You'll see it looks like ass.
hey guys...
i was reading some of the posts, and it makes sense, believe me I never got the wild idea of a phone cam being equal or better quality than a normal cam... but even with the 5 mp and the tweaks and considering light issues or environment surrounding your pics is not even close to a decent quality that's all I'm saying, the pictures look BEAUTIFUL on your phone, really neat and crisp, once you transfer your pics to a computer and see it in full scale you'll know what I'm talking about...blurriness, blur edges, sometimes pixelete images mainly in the face, I'm happy with the phone....and all it does, but I WAS JUST WONDERING if there was a way to make it a bit better...BSB Tweaks did some adjustments...thanks for the feedback guys, I'll be posting some pics shortly..so you guys get the idea....
I may have missed it if it was posted in a different forum/thread, but how does one import or send pictures from device at the full quality taken? I'm noticing that when I e-mail or MMS photos I took on this 5M camera, they are being resized and converted. I suppose this is fine, but I can't find an option to send them at full size and quality. Also, I've tried importing photos to my computer using iPhoto and just Zune->copying to my computer, but in both instances I am finding that the files are 1.5-2.5MB. Anyone having this issue, or know what I'm doing wrong here?
Images are always compressed, so a 5MP picture will be around 1MB or less. You have to look at the dimension of the pictures, I am seeing 2560x1920, which is roughl 5 million pixels.

Do you mean images are always compressed on WP7 or in general on mobile phones? I should have clarified, I was aware that the resolution was the same, but it does seem to be lower in picture quality. Maybe my eyes are fooling me...but anyway, I'm pretty sure I've taken pictures on my previous phones and was able to import them one way or another uncompressed.
Well, I agree the pictures kinda suck. I've had better luck with turning on anti-shake. I am surprised, because I left a captivate for this, and the cap's pictures were much better, and I would imagine it is about the same hardware.

I actually quite like most of the pictures when viewed on the phone...the problem is viewing them anywhere else. On SkyDrive, they're compressed, and when syncing it to my computer through the two methods I mentioned, they are also somewhat compressed (though not as bad as SkyDrive). I'm sure somewhere on the phone they exist uncompressed...I just don't know how to get at them. I imagine this phone will produce great pictures once the software is fixed a bit. And while this isn't photo quality related, it would be fantastical if they fixed it so our settings saved...
Zune syncs the "full quality" image. Your eyes are probably fooling you. It's also a difference between the SAMOLED screen and your computer's LCD/CRT.
All images are compressed on pretty much any/every camera unless you're shooting in RAW with a DSLR (or one of the few non SLRs that can shoot RAW). JPG is a compression format.
Here are some pictures I took tonight in St. Augustine Fl. to test out the different settings in the camera on the phone. Several pics of same thing, but with different settings, so the colors may look different.
I really like the apterture feature, where you can refocus the shot after the fact. You will notice maybe just a couple of pictures that look exactly the same but the focus is in different places. It is the same photo, but having changed focus in the camera.
Beautiful pictures ??????

Thanks.
I was just wanting to see the capabilities of the camera. I'm real happy with it. Even in the dark. Of course, to get good ones in the dark some type of tripod equivalent would be needed.
The photos on Google Photos are not original full resolution, but thought it good enough to give a feel for folks of the pics the phone would take.
Here is an album with photos shot is FULL AUTO mode. No tweaking settings, focusing or anything. Just letting the camera shoot a photo from the same spot. I know this is not great for the pros out there but it is the way most of us shoot pics. Anyway, I did not take a ton of photos but here are the ones I did take. With the LG i did not do "portrait mode" but did include shots from both the regular and wide angle lenses in the comparison.
I was overall impressed by all cameras. Just click "info" icon at top right to see photo details which list the camera model.
For me results were
Color - iPhone X - yes, oversaturated like Samsung, but I like that.
Detail - Pixel 2 - even though colors did not pop as much the detail in textures and such were better in most of the photos for me
low light - Pixel 2 - just grabbed better detail in the photos (The one with the helicopter was VERY low light, just a crack in the door letting a little light in)
Anyway, I know everyone has different opinions so thought I'd put an album up so people could see and compare the original untouched photos.
I give the win to Pixel 2 because I can always fix colors and make the photo more vibrant. I can't add detail.

your link doesn't work
haha, sorry, forgot to turn "sharing" on for the album. Fixed now
Look great but which one is which?

Yeah they're not labelled so I am just guessing as well. But if you click on the info button individually, you'll be able to see the model of which camera.
If you click the info button, it'll tell you what phone took it.
No guessing needed. In photos just click on the black info icon and the window stays open showing you the photo settings as well as the phone that took it as you go from photo to photo.
OP, just curious, how do you like the x compared to the pixel overall?

Well, I like android over iOS for one. But I do LOVE the gestures on the X. I so wish android did something similar and of course the animations on iOS seem to always be smoother.
The X feels heavy but nice in hand. I really think the phone looks awesome but I don't care for the notch.
Face ID is hit or miss. I don't like the implementation of look then swipe to actually get to your home screen.
I much prefer Pixel fingerprint sensor.
Phone is just too small. It is basically the size of regular Galaxy S8. The Pixel/V30 screen dwarfs it in so many apps since most are not optimized for X's screen

Overall, this is the best iPhone I've ever used and really liked it but doubt it is enough to truly switch ecosystems over. But it is fun to play with for a week or so.
Even in G Photos they don't look the clearest. Simply zooming in I can see the jagged edges, even though I know the photo's quality is good because I just opened it on a computer and could zoom in a lot more without noticeable quality loss. It's like I took a 720p screenshot of it, then zoomed in on that.
I just flashed the dotOS ROM, and all the images look so much clearer. Doesn't seem to apply to videos, but I could be wrong. Is that a bug on Motorola's end? It seems weird that such a fundamental thing hasn't been noticed yet, I just searched the forum and couldn't find anything about this.
Has anyone else noticed this on stock? How would I go about fixing this (short staying on a custom ROM).
I never had anything like that. I'm on stock and my pictures look just fine. Sounds like something in your particular setup.
