Im currently running a touch Hd (blackstone) Now i want to update it to the HD2 leo
the info i need is did Htc update the camara in this phone.. as the current Hd (blackstone lense) quality is just dreadful and also lags in video mode.. !!
The camera isn't great. I reckon it's actually a little worse than on my Touch Pro. The flash is brighter and more useful in low light situations.....

I had a hd and the camera in the hd2 is 100 times better.there's a flash for starters, the camera is a lot quicker and much less lag in camcorder mode. I never used the camera in my hd because it was dreadful but have really enjoyed using it in the hd2
p.s. I have the Telstra version...not sure if that makes a difference anymore
Can't comment on the HD camera, as i have never used one.
I had the Tytn II before and the camera on the HD2 is a thousand times better.
I actually think it takes pretty damn good pictures for a phone.
It's the first phone that i am actually really using the camera.
Though I can't compare to the HD1, I have to agree that the camera on the HD2 is certainly usable from the playing around I've had it - more so in fact. The touch auto focus works well, flash is bright, it's very very fast (Jesus, taking pics on my Hermes whilst running other stuff...) and produces decent looking results.
Check the camera tweaking thread here at xda, where someone's found how to up the resolution further via some registry tweaks. There are lots of example pics in there for you to compare to what you'd get on your previous devices.
Hi Guys!!
I installed Hyperdroid Cm7 Android Rom on my device about a week back.
Everything is working fine except the camera
I mean its working but it is not taking pictures as clear and sharp as WM 6.5 used to take
I didn't find any fix or patch for this and also tried some apps like HDR and Vignette but still quality aint that great .
Is there any method or solution to the problem ??
Or do i have to live with a below average camera??
agree
Yeap I agree with you. WM6 pictures seemed to look more sharply and with android it's hard to get as good picture as WM6 took. Pictures are a bit blurry when taken ( I know that there is a potion for sharpness and that stuff but still, pictures are not as good quality as on WM6). It's hard to get clean picture, just a little hand shake and pictures would be nasty, that didn't happened on WM6.
I think that there is nothing you can do unless some dev gonna fix/produce new libs etc. Well you could try different builds, I have also tried WM7 but for me pictures looks even worsen than on Android.
Agree - I have the same experience :-(
has anyone compared the picture quality of hyperdroid cm7 and typhoon cm7 ??
cuz i was planning to try typhoon cm7 just to check the camera but if someone has already done that, i wud be nice to know !!
in typhoon pictures are better, also in miui builds pictures and camcorder are good.

i get installed android 2.3.3 on htc hd2 tmobile usa
but my video camera is not working at all. it just gives error.
camera - it view mirror image.
here is installed s/w info on my mobile
android 2.3.3
baseband 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
kernal 2.6.32.15_r9-gd0fb339

cpu info-armv7 processor rev 2 9v71)
mod ver cyanogenmod-7.0.2.1-desire[typhoon_v3.1.3-Magldr]
build no-GRI40
I had that build too and if i remember well the camcorder was a little buggy now and then. Now i'm happy with typhoon 3.4.0 magdlr.
As for the pictures i often use Camera 360 Ultimate, it has some amazing features like burst shots and anti-shake mode.
Just try out the contrast, saturation and sharpness settings of your cam.
I take definitely better pics with Android than with WM6.5.
(Have atm no better pic on my HD2 )
Try WP7 and you gonna cry for its camera handling software. I loved WM 6.5, I even loved more Android (I had a few) but WP7 rulez when it comes to camera.
And 720p recording is just awesome.
Too bad there is no android which can handle it so far. :S
Dear Dev's , thank you for all your hard work making Android work on our beloved HD2 devices.
At the moment I have Hyperdroid CM7 v3.0.1 , best rom in my opinion, but still missing 720p recording...
I would like to know what, how, where and all the stuff that needs to be looked at
in order to bring true HD 720p recording with autofocus and hopefully zoom while recording.
I know that it might sound a lot but for me that is the most important thing I would love to have fully working in my phone as so many others users I'm sure.
If some of the recognized dev's will give me a hint where to look and how , etc I would like to try and get it working, using my own device for testing purposes.
Knowing that HD rec works in WP7 , can we create drivers that will work with the WP7 ones to get it working under android?
Thank you all and hopefully someone will be able to help me and others.
Try a JW MIUI rom instead ;-)
It has HD camcorder, though no zoom while recording...
That one has only 800x480 which is 480p not 720p....Hyperdroid CM7 has same resolution and almost all android ports have it, but so far no 720x1280 with 25-30 fps.
Cheers.
Ehi guys.
I've Noticed that with this camera, also if it has 5mpx is not so perfect..
My old Lg Optimus ( **** ) But with 5mpx camera was working really really better..
Anyone know why?
Is maybe cause of android?
Thank you.

Because some manufacturers are using camera's that might be less powerful as camera's in other brands of phones. I can place any phone/smartphone that has a camera, next to my sony ericsson C905, and the C905 will always win. always...
I must say, that with a lot of Android builds, the pictures I take are just as good as with Windows Mobile 6.5.
It can show for some people, that it looks not as good, but we have to keep in mind, our device was not designed for Android, causing DEVs to edit or completely write new drivers for the camera's.
A lot of mine look great on the phone but when I upload to Facebook or Picassa they look like they have been taken through a window screen.

What I have noticed is that uploading will sometimes reduce image quality through compression to create a smaller file upload.
As for the op, yes there are some Android cameras that suck and some that take great pictures even sometimes equally what this phone takes natively in WM6.5. Like said drivers are created so results will vary and you can only hope for so much without getting a native Android 5mp phone.

Most gingerbread ROM's without sense have camera application working flawlessly and taking very nice pictures. In addition, you can install the MIUI camera .apk for full screen and fully optimized picture taking

I had the C905 as well! great camera.
yeah, I feel the image quality on the HD2's camera isn't perfect, but it isn't bad either; just that sometimes I get really underexposed photos. serves its purpose

Some builds have better camera than others because of their different camera libs. Miui rom has much better camera libs than the cyanogenmod 7 nightly does..
the camera in HD2 is perfect for me. i tried it in several roms by several softwares and just satisfied with it.
Hi. I notice jellybean ROMs all have camera problems to some degree. I use camera ICS from market and it works fine for me on every jb ROM I have tried. Perhaps someone with knowledge can find out why this app connects and uses the camera OK while the jb camera app does not. Its a little bit laggy I guess but very usable. Camera jb from market does not however work.
Regards
I tried your suggestions. However the video camera still doesn't work for me. Still camera works normally.
I am using [ROM][4.1.1] Jelly Bean | CyanogenMod10 [BETA 0.36][26.09.12].
Are you saying, that you have video working?

Illusion Video Camera is working for me on Nikez Lente pre-alpha10
The video camera is working with some glitches on p11.
I use FxCamera for camere alternate, Video Cam Illusion for video.
Hope Nikez / elk759 fix the Camera issues in future JB ROMs..
I hope so too, i don't want to change my desire...
Miui camera works fine
I am looking for an alternative too. Let's just hope these camera issues will be resolved soon. I am using CameraFX for taking photos, even though the stock camera works with minor glitches. Video recording doesn't work at all
Most of the market cameras is that they are either 4:3 or take lower resolution pictures. Still looking.
