Hi, recently acquired a Touch HD in Singapore and was excited about it. However, I've found that I have some issues witht he camera and video functions. Just wondering anyone have any experience in it and you counter it.
Camera: When I just press the only button on the screen to take picture, Touch HD will do the auto focus thingy and then snap the picture. By the time it snap, it's not the picture that I really hope to capture. Does anyone else have this issue or is there any "tips & tricks" around this?
Video: Tried taking a video clip but when I play it, thevideo clips kind of staggered. Every 3 secs of video, 0.5 secs of it are gone.
Hope someone would enlighten me. Thanks

I had a HTC Touch (original from Alltel, not sure if it is the vogue or elf or whatever). The videos it shot were pretty good. I recorded my nieces soccer games and it was never blurry. Now I have the Sprint Touch Diamond and the videos are horrible blurred with ANY movement. Even just normal (and slower than normal) movements there is an awful blurring effect. I tried adjusting the settings but couldn't improve it in any way. Is there something wrong with my phone, is there a setting I am missing that will fix this, or did HTC just for some reason screw up the diamond's video recording ability? Just seems odd that the Touch would have it better than the Touch Diamond. Any help is appriciated.
clean the lens on the battery cover. or remove it and it will look fine.

Thanks... but the problem isn't that it is always blurry... the video is blurry with any kind of movement.

Will be great finding a fix for these problem
try updating to latest htc camera software version.

Hi Guys,
i tried to search in the forums but could'nt find the answer to that.
When I take a pic with my HD, first everyting is alright. When the shot is taken the picture shows and the the small windows-thing appears in the middle of the screen and does'nt leave anymore.
After a couple of seconds (sometimes never) it's gone, just like my taken picture. Actually I can't take any picture with my cam, that annoying!
Has someone the same problem. It happens with all resolutions and settings in the same way.
Thanks

Yes! Something very similar happened to me just last night. I was using the video camera function to record my son's wrestling match. I had taken a few recordings of other matches, and then on the 4th or 5th match (a new file for each one) the recording suddenly stopped after a few seconds. Then after that the camera application was very slow to respond and had a black screen. I tried turning the camera program off and on, and tried doing a soft-reset. Nothing worked.
Then of course my son's match started and I figured I'd try to hit record even though it was a black screen and just hope that it was recording anyways. After 10-20 seconds of the black screen it suddenly turned on and was recording.
And this morning it's working find again, although I haven't tried taking more videos to test it out.
I'm using the panora Black Pearl 1.4 ROM.
me too, me too. It seems that this issue happens when I start to have many things in my phone (both in terms of software installed and taken photos). Waiting for a good explanation and solution to overcome this problem. I also notice that the videos taken are now not able to play, since I always have to use Core Player
I has this same problem.
If you have Advanced config installed make sure that you have
Encode photos in portrait mode set to : No under camera settings
This is funny because default value is YES and that freezes camera
Thanks a lot for the hint.
works perfect. now I got my cam back ;o)
You guys are just amazing!!!!!!!!!
I was about to hard reset (thanks to winnerzero who sent me here).
Saved me a hard reset!!
brilliant...
Thanks a lot to Kohozga
Your hint just saved me from hard resetting my HD.
I was at the beach with the dog the other day and found a defect with the video camera feature. It is obscure but...
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the stock video camera.
Record some video.
Stop recording video.
Use power button to turn off the screen. (I did this at the beach to conserve power.)
Close the phone.
Open the phone to expose the keyboard. (I often do this as it saves me a step compared to clicking power and then swiping unlock.)
Record another video.
Expected Result:
Camera would record video.
Actual Result:
Video application becomes unresponsive. Force close about 10 seconds later.

LOL that is a pretty well formated bug
Test software for a living? For what it is worth I can repro this. Nice find.
I think you should hit the back button after you are doing recording the first video so that your phone isn't idling/standingby with the video recorder/camera on.
exit out of camera mode when you arent recording then close your phone.
I cannot reproduce this with my G2.
neither can i. i tried over n over, it records fine.

Hmm, I reproduced it before and after the latest update. An office mate here reproduced it too.
I can't get this to happen on my Desire Z, if that helps
Not sure if the camera apps are the same (I imagine the DZ uses an HTC app not the stock one). Also I turned mine off after the live view started up again, not during the moment where you can view/delete/share the recorded video.
(Excuse me. Since I'm Nexus One user, I seldom visit this board, but I want to ask something, because of my brother)
My younger brother bought Xperia Arc after his Desire was broken and dead. He found this issue at the first day: When you push camera shutter button while you're watching any youtube video the screen becomes... sorry, how can I explain it? Well, watch these video clips he took. I hope someone can tell what's wrong.

**I haven't check 'question' because I just want to know anyone ever seen it.
It's because the camera shutter button (when pressed fully, for a second) opens the camera up, where ever you are in the phone.
I've never realized this until now! Thanks for the tip!
And you need a nail-cut immediately
