Looking at trading my Omnia 7 in for a HD2,
the omnia is amazing and I will miss the screen but the extra screen size and better audio of HD2/HD7 is really enticing me.
I have installed W7 on a few HD2's for people, my only concern is the camera, how does it auto focus with out the camera button with its 2 press process.
surely this will just create very ouot of focus simple snaps.
besides this im all up for swapping
I was wondering the same actually as any pics I have taken are blurry enough. Doesn't autofocus like it did on WinMo 6.5
if you switch to video it auto focuses, then switch back to camera......works well. Hopefully in future roms maybe a focus button can be implemented.
Hey guys/gals, while chatting about the constant autofocus on the camera yiancar suggests we try other camera apps.
He installed "fxcamera" and said it has an autofocus toggle. And suggested I try it.
So I download and loaded it, selected the normal camera, it started autofocusing even without tapping the screen or selecting the autofocus toggle.. Making that focus clicking sound.
His does not... I remember there being mentioned somewhere that they were having issues with quality control with the cameras, don't know if this has anything to do with it.
So if you have a chance, could you please download "fxcamera" and test your camera's autofocus and report your findings here? (mention if your unit does or does not auto focus click constantly, which model, and rom version you're on)
Thanks in advance!
Hi clockcycle
My camera does the continuous autofocus only in difficult light situations, for example in a dimmed lecture hall. When I have enough contrast in the picture it just perform the autofocus when I moved the camera/tablet. This happens with the standard camera app and I also tested fxcamera - the same result.
Can you find a light scenario where your constant autofocus stops?

Hey all!
I normal only get one long autofocus unless light is really low (very similar to strahl actually) and fxcamera makes no difference (with autofocus turned off and on)

Please excuse the awful spelling on the above. I'm too new on this forum to be trusted with the edit button yet!
hi CC,
Just want to report to all that I m using EdenX 2.4 rom which is based on latest NI rom 040811. And in this latest rom NI has fixed the constant refocusing of camera issue. I have tested it and camera stops refocusing after few seconds of delay.
now some hacker/developer might want to take on this.. to help us..to get a toggel switch in camera app for manual and auto options...
@clockcycle I would second whatever strahl's mentioned. Seems to work the same for me too.
On a separate note, one bloke in a thread at tabletrom opened up adam, disconnected the auto focus motor of the camera and he's put up a video after doing it. The camera is now fixed focus and works well for him.
I report 3rd then as someone whose camera will keep focusing in bright areas such as a classroom or when pointed upwards towards any lights.
I can also report that while pointing into dimmer directions the camera stops auto-focusing.
While I think that opening it up and disconnecting the wire is cool, I don't want to have to do that to mine.
What files/drivers work with the camera, can we not just replace the ones that are in the working updates with our current roms?
I read a lot of threads/posts about the HD2's camera not focusing due to the lack of the 2 stage camera button.
However, one can focus the camera by double tapping and holding on the second tap to initiate the auto focus and take a photo soon after.
Hope this works for everybody!

Ok i own a GTi9505 with current rom from sammobile google edition/stock all fine except when using the stock camera if i select HDR mode the focus icon, occasionally after taking a few HDR's wont work it seems to stay focused on whatever it was previously even if i touch to focus on an object at a different distance?
any ideas?
Hello, guys,
My rear camera is completely out of focus on the Skype app, so it's unusable. It is focusing ok (I suppose, I read the circle should turn green but mine is always white, but it seems focused) on the camera app and other apps (it struggled a bit once on genius scan but then it worked fine). I really dont know if its a software bug or if I should try to return my phone (you know, its a hassle).
Thanks a lot
