Dear all
In all the Android builds that I've tried on the HD2, I can't seem to find one that will take 5MP pictures in a format that automatically fills the entire screen on the HD2 when viewing the said image in an album.
I realise that the Android builds come from the likes of the Nexus One (3.7inch screen) or the Desire (again 3.7inch) - and the HD2 screen is 4.3inches, but some of the Android builds come with the option of the EVO camera, and the EVO shares the same massive 4.3 screen as the HD2.
I've noticed however that the 5mp picture outputs from both the stock Froyo camera and the EVO camera app (as well as the Camera360 app from the Adnroid Market) all provide a 5mp output image that does not fill the HD2's screen.
I would be grateful if someone would shed some light on this subject - my searches have proven fruitless as no one else seems to be complaining about this (hence why I think I must be missing something incredibly obvious).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
(HD2 running NRG GTX Sept 14 and Bangsters 1.3b - but tried a whole load of Android builds prior to this current one! Radio 2.12.50.02)
Maybe it's because the HD2 screen is not 5M pixels and also does not have the same aspect ratio than a 5M pixels pic.... =P

No, HD2 is definitely 5mp.

The camera is, the screen isn't.
Thanks for the responses thus far.
So is there any way to get the camera on android to take a pic that fills the entire screen when looking through them in our albums (as it does on the hd2 running stock or cooked WM roms?). I would've thought the ported EVO camera would've done it as it was designed for a screen that's similar to the hd2.
Is there perhaps an app on Market that allows you to tweak the 5mp format to identical dimensions as those pics taken by the WM camera on the HD2?
Being a bit of a stickler for details, I find it annoying to scroll through my albums and see all the WM images filling up the screen perfectly, only to see an image taken whilst using Android (3 or 5mp) with black borders!
the picture's aspect ratio is 4:3, and hd2's screen is 16:9, that's why it won't fill the screen. You could use vignette to crop the picture to 16:9, but that cam app runs pretty slow on hd2.
winmo's camera has a wide screen option which crop the picture automatically.

Thanks for the info re widescreen, macoy - I did notice the widescreen option on the WM camera settings, but I would assume then the the EVO would also have a similar widescreen option as it shares the same screen dimensions?
Thanks also for the vignette app suggestion.
If anyone knows of any further app's on the market which have a widecreen option please do let me know!
I don't see the point of cropping pictures. Surely there must be a gallery app that zooms in automatically to fit screen?

Yes - there must be!
Or a camera app with widescreen options suitable for the HD2's 4.3inch screen (which is similar to the EVO's...)
I created a thread asking the same question a few weeks ago and have yet to see an answer to this. I have long wondered what it is, when I was using Froyostone v1 Clean the Camera had an option for widescreen but when selected it would still not take widescreen pics. Like the OP I am a stickler for the detail and I like the fullscreen view of the Winmo Cam. I only take pics in WinMo until a solution is found for this.

I'm surprised that this doesn't seem to be a big issue for most people - one of the "wow" features of the phone for me when I first got it (and indeed - it still impresses me) is scrolling through my photos at fullscreen, showing off the HD2's display in all its glory!
I can't believe that there's no way to do this on the HD2 running Android? Especially wih EVO and the upcoming Desire HD coming out (both sharing the same 4.3inch screen from what I understand).
I've tried searching as well using, and this, albeit not a big issue, is one of the cool things about viewing the pictures. Let's keep this going, hopefully someone may chime in.
Photos takin in wide screen are actually less than 5M.

hi all i have taken about 4hours today testing the camera to the end of my will, now i hope this thread will help other and i intend to include pics of every content and do a full review of the htc hd2 camera but here's a few samples while i get the review on the way
TIPS FOR BETTER PICTURES
- turn off wide-screen in the settings for true 5mp, if u have it on u get lower res Normal screen = 2592 x 1944 / Wide-screen = 2592 x 1552
- set white balance to the sunny settings in all condition not auto or u will get weird colors with most of ur pics (see samples below)
SAMPLE PICTURES UNEDITED - 5mp + very fine mode + touch focus + sunny (not auto whitebalance)
click for full res, untouched quality
the above pics where static objects great focus
now to compare auto whitebalance to sunny none auto setting all pics still full res, untouched quality
auto settings -------/------- sunny setting
the above pics where static objects great focus
auto settings -------/------- sunny setting
the above pics where static objects great focus
auto settings -------/------- sunny setting
the above pics where is moving objects focus had issues here
auto settings -------/------- sunny setting
the above pics where static objects great focus also high light levels
SAMPLE VIDEOS UNEDITED - 640x480 + MPEG4 + sunny setting + touch focus

Thanks for your samples....
...the pictures seem to show a great deal of sharpening on them. Did you apply that in post-prod, or is it done automatically in-camera?
Also, as soon as I get my HD2 (which has been stuck in a post office all week-end... grrrr!!!!!), I will try to take a reference picture of a netural gray card, and then subtract it from real-life photos using photoshop. This should really get rid of the magenta color cast in the middle of each photo, though it would be a pain to have to do this extra step for each picture one wishes to keep...
Purely amazing? For me these look barely usable, but then I'm coming from an i8910, so I guess it depends on what you're used to...
If those are unusable then I'd like to see the pics the i8910 can produce, as to me the top pictures in macro mode look pretty good for a HTC camera
EDIT: Ok so for fun I decided to look up what the i8910 can do and ....wow!
Oh well, I rarely take pics with a phone so the HTC camera will have to make do
Those who come from WM phones the HD2 produces some of the best images and videos. At least there is a substantial improvement from the predecessor Touch HD.
Coming from the best camera phones from Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson etc. the quality is just passable.

hi mate some pointers,
1) Samsung i8910 OmniaHD = 8mp camera and omnia camera are good
2) we need to see full unedited pics to compare noise
good pics though
For me it looks like the HD2 Camera-App uses very agressive noise-reducing. Thats why Pictures look more fuzzy with lack of fine details.
Some users tell that this can be avoided by increasing the sharpnes in the camera-settings.
Please, some HD2 retail user can do this and post some more pictures here?
Yes that is true but megapixels only tells half the story, it's mostly down to the quality of the lens. I could find you similar examples taken with a 5MPx camera from Nokia...
Anyway here are much larger images. They're not full size but I doubt you'll find much noise in these images.
http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=81427&page=31
Scroll to about mid point.
They might be a big improvement for a HTC device, but they are very much inferior to the photos from my old N95, or even my original Fuji 3MP digital camera.
Photos from an i8910 or a Satio are in a completely different league.
Still, I guess I should be grateful that HTC have made some improvement in this area, and I'm not actually buying the phone for it's photo taking ability.

Red tint in center
I notice a red tint in every sample pictures or videos taken with HD2 (I don't have one, seeing samples). Is this true or I need an eye check?
Amazing?
This pics looks like ****. At 100% have a lot of noise, bad colors and a constant pink tint in the center of the screen.
The camera of the HD2 is a really disaster like all the others of HTC.
Still though, they show improvement from previous HTC outings, for which I'm grateful.
geo tagging
Hi guys, I can't find the settings to turn geo tagging on when taking pictures, is it not possible with this phone?
Im talking about embeding location data on the image exif, I use to have nokia phones in the past, n96, n82, n95..
footprints is neat but I don't see it adding gps information on to the photo,
example of this use is when you upload images to flickr the gps location shows up on flickr.
any info on this appriciated
I think if you check the tweaks thread there is a post about turning on Geotagging.
If its not there try searching, I know I've seen at post on this in the last couple of days.
EDIT: Its in the tips thread (now stickied).
hi their focus is weird as touch focus is on which activates (spot focus) so u will notice because that the middle of the pics are focused and the rest isnt as the pics where at such close distance to the object, i will try and show the other focus modes soon

Absolutely FALSE. Pictures taken with TouchHD are by far sharper and with much better definition for details. Just take a look at those shots:

And then.. take a look at this picture taken by the HD2.. utterly blurred, just look at the trees..

I suppose, however, that part of the problem can be overcome by just removing the plastic protection from the front of the camera.. like we did with HTC Kaiser...

Hello DAMIEN123_666,
Please increasing the sharpness in your camera-settings (or set it to maximun sharpness)
And then take some pictures in good light condition with a lot of detail (maybe like the picture with the trees)
I would apreciate a lot if you would do that for us.

Well, thats true for the moment and the given sample pics - i cannot belive that the TouchHD cam is bether.
I hope it is only a question of the sharpness setting!
I've installed Mattc's great Android version on my HD2, and the first thing I notice is that both the camera and the camcorder work WAY (WAY) better under Droid than under WinMO. The bad white balance issues seem to be gone under Droid. Isn't that a proof that the camera problems were only a software bug, and not a hardware issue?
Please share your experience about this issue here - maybe it's just observer error from me.
Thanks.
Does the video recording also improved to do 720p like the Evo?
I don't know what was wrong with your windows install, but the camera/video on my HD2 is incredible under windows mobile. It's actually better than my $300 point and shoot camera, which is really a sad statement for my camera, but the HD2 is great.

No offense meant, man, but I seriously doubt this. I have two other camera devices, a LG Renoir phone and a reflex Sony digital camera, both take way better pictures than the HD2. It's not even a resolution problem, the colors are just totally ****ed up.
Sorry if I'm not the usual HD2 blind fanatic and know to recognize the phone's weaknesses - even though I like my phone a lot otherwise.
I'm an EE. I don't get excited about things just because I think it's "cool". The camera is actually very good on my HD2. Should I post some example pics? Maybe you have the first revision of HD2? I have the TMobile one with the yellow reset button (revision 2).
Obviously, when I need to take a picture of something far away, my point-and-shoot does a lot better because it has optical zoom, but the HD2 does really well at medium range. My wife, who doesn't get excited at all about technology even mentioned that she was impressed with its pictures.
Proof by the example:
Both camera software have exactly the same settings and auto white balance, and Windows Mobile has a very recent ROM with the latest versions of all software (Artemis).
Windows Mobile:
Android:
The difference is obvious. The Android photo has natural colors, while the Windows Mobile one has ugly shades of purple/pink and is generally ugly.
The Windows Mobile camera software is clearly still bugged at least on some versions of the HD2. It's definitely not the hardware, since if it was, Android wouldn't be able to take good shots either.
EDIT: And yes, I have an older model of HD2.

wow man, youre garden looks like mess
i have canon 500d other than hd2, so, its taking better pictures in every resolution option. i know, i just cant compare this two devices photographing performance, but like said before in the first posts, hd2's colors looks like mess, wb is awful. the only good thing is macro performance i think.
but its still better than wm 6.5. wm just, i dunno
Yeah, I also take way better shots with my Sony Alpha (and even with my LG Renoir), but at least in Android, the HD2 photos look "decent" for a mobile phone. The windows one just look... well... VERY bad.
Oh, and that's not my garden... well, that's only like 5% of it. The rest is behind the door at the back, this is only the "Tomato + a few flowers" part
hmm... in Camcorder mode, doesn't the auto-focus no longer work when recording? It just stucked at the focus point when the record button is tapped no matter where and what you're trying to aim at. Any fix for that?

So your camera in Android (that is capped to 3 MP) performs better then the camera in WinMO?(That has 5 MP)

Don't believe everything that is written in the still experimental Android UI. The camera also does 5MP in Android.
And it's not a resolution problem - it's a color problem.
Wildcopper,
You stated that the video recorder is also better.
Does it record 720p like the Evo?
So you are saying the Android picture in the example looks better than the WinMobile one? Personally, I think the white walls and the roof look better in the Android picture, but most of the other stuff, especially the brown, looks a little better in the WinMobile picture. I don't know, they are so close, I can barely tell the difference. This is really what you are complaining about?
Maybe just don't have any ability to judge colors.... I don't know the difference between purple and fuchsia.
Seriously, the image taken with Android is much better for natural colour balance. Get your eyes tested! A lot of the picture taken under WinMo has a purple tint.
I think it will be better if you follow this steps
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584765

It keeps saying "Please insert an SD card before using the camera".
Obviously MMC is in, there is whole Android system.

I totally agree with you on that point, I even think that the autofocusing part/algorithm is better on Android than on WM. Used to get a lot of "blurry" pictures just from pushing the "shoot"-button even though WM had everything into focus. This problem is gone with Android, dunno if it's only related to a different button layout, but it's clearly better.
So I was just wondering why all the Android builds are using camera's that don't pics in widescreen format like the Winmo camera does. I like to take pics of the kids and stuff and I prefer the wide pics using WinMo but if Im using Android I don't want to have to switch.
If anyone has a widescreen camera.apk they can post it would be appreciated, thanks
Which android build are you using? I'm using the one on my sig and it works great in portrait and land scape mode.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
So does yours take pics in full screen or is it the 640x480 ratio? Can you post the camera.apk you are using? I just switched to Bangsters today
I also want one of those .apk's. My camera shows the images in widescreen when looking through the lens, but then are captured in a different ratio, annoying...
It's a minor annoyance but an aannoyance nonetheless
So anyone have any ideas?
in my understanding the camera in winmo is 4mp in widescreen and 5mp in regular?
just use camera 360, that has full features.

Yes you are correct and it's not necessarily the 5mp I am after but just the widescreen angle that Winmo shoots in 4mp. And those pics come out really well for me at least, I am just looking to duplicate that experience so I can take that quick shot without having to boot to Winmo
Vignette has full resolution camera. Love it.

Hi
they are worse! thats just one thing!
the resolution of the android photo capture is 2MP (1600x1200) instead of the real 5MP (2560x1920). ant the light exposure whith the LED's in the dark is sometimes to bright... (white-balance)

the video recording is pretty good in image way: WVGA (800x480), but the sound is [email protected]!

Yes there is no arguring. Android photos suck compared to those in WM! I have tried to take photos with wm and android at the same time...
I noticed some diference. Forcing widescreen photo's does'nt matchup with the widescreen photo's taken in windows mobile. But nonetheless, i dont care. I just want a working camera on Desire HD build!!!! And I can't find a clue how far the developing is

I'd have to agree, all my android pics look so much clearer and detailed compared to the same objects/scenerys under winmo
I agree... photos taken with winmo always turnout better for me. But I can't complain ... atleast we can take photos with android. Most andrid ports for winmo phones can't use camera at all. We have a very good port for our hd2s.... but its still a port.
Alot of people seem to expect android to work as well as a native android phone. Amazingly our android port does function better than a native android phone with a stock rom in some cases.... but when you mod, root and put custom roms on a native android phone with similar specs, it definitely outperforms our ported android.

Are you folks taking photos in widescreen?
I found that, although it looks much nicer, when I use a camera app and make the camera take widescreen photos, and then look at the details of the photo, it is no longer 5mp. It seems it downgrades the photo to 3.2mp or something like that.
Is there actually a disadvantage in taking widescreen photos?

The same reason older phones navigate the web more artfully, or why the similarly-powered SGS2 and single core machines can run Full HD .mkvs and we cant, or why our camera (still) doesnt take 1080p shoots: because several parts of our software isnt optimized.
I have been wondering about the exact quality of "Widescreen" pictures myself, anyone can shed a light on that?

web browsing in GB is amazing, smooth as butter. still use dolphin browser though
My widescreen photo's (the default) have always been 3.2mp -- even on Froyo. It's because of the way the photo is cropped. If you set the camera to 5mp, the photo's do not fill the Atrix screen because of the aspect ratio.
Yep, widescreen appears to take the 5MP roughly 4:3 and crop the top and bottom to make it something like 16:9. I changed it to the 5MP setting and always use that.

So pretty much, even though the widescreen makes sense and looks proper on our phones, it is actually not a good option to use
i actually like it, looks great for landscape pictures, or long portraits. if you just want a normal picture then you should know not to use "wide"screen.
