Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my wildfire's camera. When i take a photo, the photo is all blurry as on wildfire's screen as on computer. Picture looks like you would take it under water. And no effect is turned on. Can anyone help me please and tell me why is that and what can i do.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have the same problem with my Wildfire. Autofocus is working but only in small distances. Now the phone is in garantee service. I think that the problem is hardware, bad series.
L.H.
Yeah the wildfire camera is always like this blur.. not a good camera after all..

Camera is fine, barely use it
Sometimes the camera lens cover on HTC phones becomes cloudy. Try removing your battery cover and taking a picture with it off. If the pictures becomes clear you have the cause off the problem.
You can then either order a new back cover (HTC will say it's damage on your part and refuse too send one for free! Cheek) or do what I did and carefully pop the offending lens cover out with a match stick.
Some people have also had success using screen scratch remover on it if you don't like the idea of having your actual camera lens exposed.
the back cover does not cover the camera, it has a hole where the camera goes.
mine working fine. I don't expect more from low end phone+without carl zeiss. I use camera 360 to take picture. its better than the stock camera
What's camera 360?

there seems to be some sort of coating on lens cover, if you look closely it appears to be an oily colour, i simply polished with a silver polishing cloth ( silvo infused) and about 20 seconds of gentle polishing removed coating so now my lens is crystal clear. hope this helps
My picture quality quite good.
Camera 360
Have you guys tried Camera 360 on Wildfire?
It's not on the market so I got an internet apk and it crashes all the time instead of opening. Is it my version that is wrong or is it the app?
[Edit]Answer to myself and the others, I was on build 0.9.74, now that I found the 0.9.76 it works like a charm \o/

Is anyone having problems with the camera? I have played with the settings a little bit, but all of my pics seem to be foggy like when I send them to my pc. Any help would be appreciative. Thanks.
the camera is a joke in my opinion, color is horrible, focus is non-existant and it's super-grainy even at the best settings possible... it's not just you.
I think the camera does a fair job. Outdoors is much better than indoors but I can live with it for quick snapshots.

what settings are you using? at 2M, super fine, I get nothing but junk that looks like my son's fisher-price camera took, nothing like what you linked to.
I are what settings are you using. I have tried everything and my pics dont look like that.......
I meant I agree...sorry
the thing that I have found that helps the most is not using auto white balance.ill try different ones until I think the color looks correct.the picture I linked to was using the sun white balance setting.also I found that the lens gets dirty fairly easy.I use a q-tip with a little bit of glass cleaner on it and wipe off.
I have gotten great results from the camera...Can't complain at all.
But foggy pictures usually coincide with a very dirty (fingerprints?) lens.
Unfortunately to keep the phones so small they don't have the room to put in a lens shield to cover the lens when the camera is off. And it is easy to get a greasy finger right into the lens.
Get yourself a good lens cleaner paper and fluid and try cleaning it good. It will be difficult to get the edges so use a Q-Tip on those.
If you don't get those good you will find a fuzzy halo around the pictures edge.
You really have to play with the settings to get the best quality. And it takes a very steady hand to get good pictures because the unit is very slow to react.
as on others devices (S2),also on Note i noticed that autofocus is not perfect.
On macro it works well,but on normal photos and expecially ZOOMING....i can not get a good focus.
Try to zoom 4x ...impossible to get a correct focus..for me
a personal problem...or firmware problem....?
i have last firm ...upgraded on line 2 days ago.
Regards..
You should never use digital zoom on a phone camera the results are always terrible. Also I noticed my SGSII had a tough time auto focusing during videos. It was always freaking out trying to focus on the center object.
on HTC HD2 autofocus works well also zooming...
samsung optical software are very bad...
No solution?
Have you guys noticed a tiny piece of protective plastic over the camera lens? May or not be obvious, but have you removed that?

OOPS
Mine has the plastic still on. It has a round cut out for the lens already.

Look again. I Missed mine even with my spectales on. My nephew with young eyes spotted it.
I took the plastic off but i cant see the one you are refering too. I can see some sort of faint line around the lens but i dont think its suppose to come off

are you on 2.3.6? On my note (2.3.6), I just tried what you described (4x zoom and focus) and it had no trouble focusing.
This was indoors, with some light coming through the window blinds and it's almost sunset outside. So not really bright inside.
Granted, digital zoom is always (and I mean always) a bad call compared to taking an unzoomed photo and cropping/enlarging yourself, but at least the phone had no trouble focusing while zoomed in.
its not just you
Its not just you. I have the same proplem now, but did not when i recieved it. The problem is just more aparent when zooming in the phone but you also see it unzoomed on the full photo on the PC. Auto focus just does not do its job and everything is really blurry. I think the problem only came up after a firmware upgrade, but i may be mistaken.
I already tried downgrading which did not work (maybe an even older version is required?) but then noticed the CSC code wrongly set to KOR. Stetting it to the for me correct DBT did not help either.
Anyone has this without having upgraded? Anyone solved it?<
Update: Looking back at made photos... If this is a software issue, it was not present in firmare KK9. I got a photo mentioning that firmware that was ok. However I have this version installed now, and focusing is not ok.
However i still see it possible that some changed from more recent firmwares like a camara firmware change made it in that was not reversed when installing the older version.
I'd appreciate if we could work together in narrowing down this problem by comparing situations.
My phone's auto-focus was working fine until I did the KKA firmware update. Now it is crap. I've been hoping for another update to fix it, bit no dice so far!
I have the same problem. I was considering sending my Note back or trying to find a camera replacement until I figured out my first few pix (pre update) were very good. I just hope an update comes soon because I'm working with a Mac at home and have failed to root or flash one of the updated roms.

The camera in the Galaxy Note has about 8 million photosensors. That defines the resolution you're going to get. Digital zoom only enlarges the pixels, interpolating, it's the same if you shoot without zoom and then enlarge the picture on the computer.
For me the camera on the Galaxy Note is pretty capable, better than a compact camera I had 6 years ago.
I don't know who you're responding to with the post of your image sample, but I cannot get anything close to this at the moment. Only in macro mode. The problems is auto focus, it has nothing to do with zoom.
I decided to ask for a replacement or repair from amazon.de and was in luck.
Due to an extended cristmas timeframe in which you can just send it back or get a replacement I just sent mine back and they sent me a new one right away.
The new one is fine now. The camera photos are really good.
Plus, now the screen on this new one is nicely even compared to the slightly uneven display brightness in some areas of the screen (especially on grey color) on my old one.
Also got the latest firmware on it without a problem.
So I'm really happy now
Im sure you guys know in photos you can touch the screen to set your focus point.
Digital zoom will just give you crap results, avoid this and just zoom and crop in editing which will give you a much better image.
Hi
I have the lg g2 for a week and I have to say that's find it very hard to get good pictures, the colors are not great (seems like the camera is not taking the light well) and it is very hard to get non blurry images with any small movement in general and specially when starting to work with the zoom
I read in this forum that I should check if I have some bluish/purple coat on the lens (looks like a sticker) and I actually do have it but I did not understand if this is the cause of the problem and I should remove it or.....
I have to say that I am worried that this coat/sticker is to protect the lens from scratching.
Please help to someone that bought the camera because he read good reviews on the camera capabilities.
Thanks
Take the protective sticker off, it's only there to protect it while in transit. No major manufacturer would put something so flimsy on a device and expect you to keep it on there full time.
I don't know if that's what is causing your problems for sure though. My G2 takes some great pictures, I'm really impressed with how well it does in low light. Then again, I'm coming from a Droid Bionic, so camera technology has had a couple years to improve.

Blurry images
Veapot thank you for the prompt reply.
Before I am removing the coat I am attaching an image of this coat to make sure that this is what you are talking about before I am removing it.
Did you remove the same one? Because I have to say that if it should be removed the manufacture did not make it easy to remove ...
Thanks again
FWIW, I just looked at my g2 and it looks exactly the same so I just tried to remove what does look like a blue/purple clear plastic protector with no luck at all, I think the color is the colour of the body surrounding the lens! So I have not tried anymore as damage is the only likely outcome!

Ok we all have the same phone and the same lense front and back
This is specifically for the FRONT camera ... we all know the pictures are distorted ... its squashed from the center and appears long at the edges...
owing to the fact that it has a Wide Angle Lense
Which looks very bad during selfies
We cant change the lense as its a hardware part.
But is there an app .. or can we develop an app that corrects the distortion created by the wide lense and give us a straigt propotional shot ?
Im uploading a picture from another website showing the distortion of the lense. its not my own pic.
As im into Bodybuilding and also i take a lot of selfies ... my pictures look weird on my phone compared to my friends. My body looks normal on friends phone whereas it looks out of propotion on mine.
Lets discuss this ... cause im seriously considering a iPhone 6 over this phone now. but obv im falling back cause of budget issues.
its weird No one else hates the Distortion during selfies ?
a small bump up
I doubt there will be any way to fix it if it is the lens itself, if it's firmware, custom ROMs might be able to do it, Xposed Framework etc
No idea how though, I had noticed I looked like Bruce Forsyth a while back, but never took much notice as I don't use the front camera for much more than daft pics on whatsapp anyway
Hi all,
I am also interested about the resolution of this feature: there's no way to disable the wide angle? you have found a solution?
thanks in advance
I have a Samsung galaxy s5 and I'm having issues with front and back camera, the quality is too low same in the back and front camera I'm even getting watermarks on the front camera as you can see in this photo. The phone is not fake it's original the screen is quite scratched and the back camera case is also very scratched but I don't really think that's the reason I'm getting the quite-like 3mp camera quality lol.
Is there anyway I can fix this?
Marks on the camera lens would cause the spots all over the screen, they'll likely be tiny and maybe hard to see on the lens
Have you set the MP quality to max in the camera settings? (Cog at the top of your image)

Yes of course I did, it's 16MP.
I don't get the watermarks on the back camera, only on the front one.
The phone also has one problem: Sometimes it turns on normally, the sound of booting can be heard but it doesn't show any sign on the screen. Can this problem be fixed without changing the whole digitizer?
Well that's pretty obvious, if there are watermarks using one camera and not the other, then there are watermarks on one camera lens, and not the other... (Or a faulty front camera)
