Disapointed with DROID X camera (photos inside)

The photos that come from this phone litterally sucks.. all my photos come out grainy and pixely. That is with flash on and off. Taking self pics come out even worse. Gets dark and stuff. Would not reccomend this phone for its camera.

You have to be a bit more objective than that.
I have come from an Incredible, EVO, TP2 and have seen the iphone4 pictures.
I think so far the X has better low light performance than everything aside form the iphone. You also want to make sure you have the phone set to 8MP as default it is at 6MP.
Try messing around with the ISO sensitivity, maybe on auto it is selecting too high of an ISO generating a lot of noise.
The device also does a much better job in macro shots as well than any of the other phones. We are not at point and shoot replacement category yet with any of the phones, namely because all the sensors are nothing more than small 10$ units. But they are light years better than a year ago.

I had the nexus one and the pictures that came from those were CRYSTAL clear! I loved them. Now these are all blurry and grainy. Im going to upload examples soon. As you can see none of them come out clear and all have a little grain in them

What error could it be? Everything is in auto..?

Try getting out of the house once in a while. All your pics are indoor, low low light. This is a phone, if you want an all purpose genera, buy a camera

i think it's safe to say anyone who comments on this forum hasn't bought a phone specifically for the purpose of "talking on it" in quite some time.
the real question is when can they create an app that has my phone making me breakfast?

I kind of understand what the OP is saying, but he should post pics side by side of the Nexus and X.

My DroidX has the exact same problem - black screen on all camera / video apps. I tried factory reset and all, but no use. I took it back to BestBuy and they said they'd replace it once they got their next shipment in (whenever that will be).

Here is a night shot I took with my X

I agree, the camera on this phone isn't all that great, I too get better shots with my N1.
I was aware of this before I bought the phone, seeing all the pictures & videos that've been posted over the past few days, but I decided to go for the phone anyway.
If a camera is a major requirement on your phone I'd get one of the Galaxy S phones, camera is amazing on that.

somehow i woke up this morning and gave it another shot(so to speak) and it worked. i did nothing to change it, just went to sleep. hope yours starts working too...

i bought it partially for the camera. i didn't buy it because it was the best camera on a phone but it is up there. for in door pictures of yourself, you aren't going to be able to tell if its auto focusing correctly. that is one of the issues with the phone is in door auto focusing. you might want to use a mirror to make sure it does it correctly. the camera button is used to focus then capture. you should see the in door quality on the evo, it is the worst lol. and of course the droid x rapes the nexus one on just about everything so finding one thing the nexus one is better at is no surprise.
the galaxy s phones are a good option but they don't have a flash, so who knows how well it will do depending on how dark it is.

6mp vs 8mp
Nevermind.

Pinkish-red tint on center of camera? (Please try yourself)

Replacement Epic... second screen protector used... and now this?
Please tell me it isn't a bad camera.
This is a white keyboard, yet the center area of the image appears very pink.
This is easiest to see in low light on something white.

EDIT it looks just like this:
http://www.gsmarena.com/a_hardware_fault_causes_htc_hd2_*pink*_camera_issues_confirmed-news-1276.php
which was(/is?) a software issue on the HD2. So is it my ROM/kernel?
...and here http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...-one-camera-issue-cloudy-red-blur-middle.html
Here's the Nexus in an OFFICIAL VIDEO and you can see it from about :10 to :18.
All phones? Are you serious? http://pocketnow.com/thought/clarification-the-pink-spot-syndrome
I've actually found a lot of topics on this, some say it is a software issue, and some say it is hardware... I just wonder if everyone has it, or if I've only started my adventure of returning phones until I get one that actually WORKS. If they are all like this, I'd be disappointed, but not nearly as disappointed as if I have to "roll the dice" again and wait another 3 days and buy another Zagg screen protector.
Changing the white balance to anything but Auto seems to fix this.

Nope. My camera seems to work fine. Took multiple pictures of a white envelope and no color variation at all. Might be your camera or even the lighting conditions of that particular shot that threw it off.

What kind of lighting? It only seems to appear in dim/indoor setting.
Here are three more... all are on Auto white balance, even though the colors seem to change a lot with the light:
Some sunlight (door open, keyboard on floor) - No pink
Indoors + Flash (same place, door shut) - No pink
Indoors (same conditions, no flash) - PINK!
It isn't incapable of showing a pure white, the conditions just have to be ideal.

It's actually the Happy Hacking Pro 2.

The Nexus among many other phone had the 'pink dot' effect.
I noticed this was most common if you have Auto-White on, and quickly open the camera and snap a picture.
The red dot would come up at first when the camera was opened, but once the camera focuses, the pink dot disappears.
Its mainly has to do with the focusing of the lenses I think....
from a epic Galaxy far, far away.

...so does anyone else see this on the Epic? The one site seems to think it's a phenomenon in all cheap digital cameras.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Red Spot Camera

Any solution yet? I changed my SGS2 and the problem is still there.

Try to change the white balance if on auto go indoor and use outdoor lighting to get more light.

Thanks dito33. Changing the white balance makes photo color looks not so natural (in my point of view). I know lighting will help, but not in indoor low-light environment. I just want my SGS2 to be my first perfect android phone. BTW, i am a bit disappointed with the Pink Spot issue on SGS2 which cost me over 500 pound, not 50 pound.
Still thinking whether looking into exchange my phone to other brand/model or just keep it.

I went looking through all my photos, and can't find that pink tint in any of them. The one thing on this camera that I find annoying is when shooting video, everything will get a green-ish hue to it for a minute, and then for no reason go back to normal.
Green:
Normal

Ah! This is software related.
We need to tell Samsung John about this.
Remember the HTC Leo pink spots in it's pictures? A software update fixed it.

This has been an issue since I got the phone
Also, before I make a video, I let the camera go for 20 seconds, then it'll say "recording failed", let it go for another minute or so to see if it fails again. If it doesn't, I'll then go ahead and make a video. This happens on queue every time.

A friend of mine has this exact issue on his fascinate since day one.
he's rooted, but has not tried custom roms yet.

My pictures aren't as good as domineus's, I have a shaky hand when holding the dvp camera (usually take pictures with a DSLR)
EDIT: I forgot, I took these pictures while traveling in England.

Soon (tm)
Haven't updated to mango yet, waiting on that at&t firmware so i dont have to spend a night reverting/re-updating. Can't wait to take non-****ty pics.

That's some nice shots for a smartphone.

depends on conditions
lower lighting I use iso of 4 or 8 depends though
surprisingly indoors, I just use tungsten or fluorescent
thats one huge reason why i liked in previous os versions you couldn't save settings. Ideally, because the shot changes, I would want a new set of settings (as long as it was default to 5 mp I'm a happy camper, samsung focus users on the other hand begged for the camera saving settings)

The camera is surprisingly more usable now, and really shines in outdoor photos. I'll try your iso settings when I'm inside.
One thing I hate, with all of my heart, is the white striping over the flash. It's printed on the plastic that is attached to the battery cover. It ruins pictures that use the flash, especially when the subject is medium-close. You just see these really ugly yellow-white bars over the image. It's a real dealbreaker so I try not to use the flash at all.
I've been planning my attack to remove it without removing the entire plastic piece. The stripes feel slightly raised, but i'm sure it can be sanded down and cleaned with a light solvent. Anyone got any ideas?

What's the use of the white stripe? Does it disperse the flash evenly to prevent harsh tones?

Not sure of its intended purpose. Plenty of other phones just have the LED under a clear plastic cover and they take pictures just fine. It's almost as if it was put there to intentionally ruin shots with the flash!

its supposed to act as a light "defuser" (sp), but it sucks.
Arc, if you manage to remove it, post a how to please.

more pics - dvp does have a good camera

on my way to the gym today i took a bunch of pix with the dvp... about 70% were crap. green, blurry, to dark... this was all outside in blasting 90+ sun i also took a few shots in the very brightly lit gym.. but it was a blur-fest.
here are some non-crap ones.
(i'm running mango beta 2 and 212)

I think the best feature relevant to the DVP camera is "tap to snap" -- being able to tap on the screen to take the photo instead of pressing that infernal camera button has led to less blurry shots for me.

hrmm.. never tried the tab-to-hopefully-not-blur
i'll try that tomorrow.
oh sea-ray! hurry the hell up!

Is "tap to snap" a Mango feature?

tap to snap pix, for me, are as good (bad) as using the button... oh well

then its probably how the camera is being held
steady hand on any camera, not just the dvp
also while the dvp takes good shots, you also should try some sort of editing too if needed. Autofix is a powerful thing
In darker lighting increase iso gain and play with the settings till you get a proper image. Also the nokia camera lense from the n8 is unbelievable

I wish Dell would add an anti-shaking setting to the camera like the Samsung Focus. When this setting defaulted to on in the Focus NoDO release, picture quality went way up. This, plus some better color correction, would make the DVP camera acceptable.

Major Camera Issues!

I am REALLY hoping I may just have a defective/lemon unit (as I could swap it out)... I need some testers willing to submit similar shots to see if this is actually a manufacturing defect/issue or just the unit I have currently.
My images are showing major image warp, almost like a fisheye effect but worse. Easily most noticeable when taking pictures of legible text. I have used both stock and Google camera, yielding same results. I took pictures of the Droid Turbo & my S5 boxes.
I am on Version 21.21.15.en.US for the record (latest update) in case this may have been cause by firmware/software...

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. I don't really see anything except slight blurring towards the middle, wouldn't call that major but I get what you mean. However, I took an image of the back of my box so you can compare it.

The majority of cameras have image distortion. Photoshop even has an option to fix it. Usually this distortion is fixed through post-processing but maybe Motorola isn't doing it, or not enough?

I hope you're kidding? Do you not see the text bending/waving all over the place? It is basically acting like there are multiple fish eyes in one picture...
I don't notice this on any other phone I own. Either a software issue or a defect with the lense or function of the sensor in the camera.

I think I get what you're pointing out. The text is clear where you point the focus to, but the further you move away from it, the more blurry it gets? I think that's just the way the focus is. TBH, I never even noticed it till now. Could be a software issue though.

Not even just that, the text itself is warped. It's not straight, it's all over the place. I'll edit a picture and post more specifically what I mean.

Not a problem at all. No "major" issue. Looks almost 100% fine. If you want great pictures get an actual camera. There is NOTHING major about this.
Edit: if people are having a hard time seeing your issue it's nothing to complain about.

I do see size differences in the text and the wavy you're speaking of. My assumption would be that when the megapixels is increased you see more of the paper not being perfectly straight or flattened so you get this affect? Idk. My guess. I don't see it as much but I just wanted to say I appreciate all the feedback on this phone as i haven't gotten one yet and am looking at people's reviews. Not trying to shoot you down.

I thought the same thing initially. Perhaps the box was not flat or the printed text itself was an issue, not the case. Which is why I took pictures of two different boxes. Same issues recurred.
I also took same pictures with my S5 and iPad 3. No similar effects. They take pictures with straight text, the tops do tend to warp a tad, but nothing in the centers. Nothing close to what my Turbo is doing.
I'm asking others to take pictures to see if it is something to do with the lens, glass, sensor, idk? I am on the latest firmware/software and all apps are up to date.

Also, it seems to provide worse results with HDR enabled. This may be software based...

can it be related to the 4:3 ratio instead of 16:9? try 15mpx mode

Hmm you could test maybe to see if it's hardware vs software. I'm thinking maybe hardware would be more likely to give a consistent distortion (I.e. in same location and to same amount), whereas a software defect may cause distortion but more randomly across various tests. Try getting grid paper and set up the phone (so its securely in place) to take pictures perpendicular from page. Then compare several pictures by examining the deviation from straight lines of the grid and see if they happen consistently in the same spots or randomly with little to no consistancy.

I would agree with the OP - that this is an issue in his phone.
A strong driver for me to upgrade from my Droid Maxx to the Turbo is the 21 mpx camera. And if that one has issues, then I stay put with what I have for now.

put a straight edge on the line of the box, third picture I think.
To the naked eye it looks bent all over the place. I lined the edge of a sheet of paper against it, and it's straight. Probably just the font and an optical illusion, some people are more sensitive to this type of perception than others.

HTC ONE m9 Leaked

I guess that HTC went with the "if something isn't broken don't fix it" moto, cuz the only major improvement is the camera.

Another leaked video from Upleaks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGvnyii8xlc
I think it's a fake... Look at the M9 when the guy is taking the photo to the girl: the phone has got a thick black stripe under the screen, while the one over the screen is very thin. Now watch the rest of the video: the upper strip is bigger, while the other is thinner... Oh cm on! And sorry for my bad english
Also these advertisements are really bad made... I'm not really sure they are true!

Really hope this isn't the m9. The black bar is just awful.

ho my god
it s an M8 again :crying::crying::crying:

I really dont get why all negativity, the M8's design is great and better than the competition in every part of the build. So why would HTC Change what yes ain't broken, the Camera is meh on the M8, so its now been improved, the performance if the M8 is anything to go by will be fantastic. There will be other things I'm sure that will change that mindset.
I honestly wasn't expecting huge changes in design and that's cool with me. I would safely assume the M10 or whatever the 2016 model may be will have that change.
I'm sure you'll all be happy when you purchase

I'm a bit disappointed in HTC, banging on the internet doors that they are bringing new things to MWC, just to show us a refresh/fix of the M8 (Yeah I know they will bring more stuff).
They better be calling it the HTC one 8.5 or something, because this isn't a number change worth.
I still think the M7 is a better looking phone then the M8, just because of the radius on the corners, and because the bottom and top speaker have the same width.

what a disappointment

Its not that bad lol I didn't mind how the m8 design was.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app

I'm not convinced this is the final version of the m9. With the leaks in the past few years, it's possible HTC is creating their own leaks to generate buzz. Regardless, I still love my m8 and am getting the m9 when my tax money arrives.?

I agree. I'm not sure it is real. Look at the poor editing, the screen images are not correctly aligned with the phones edges. Not the professional video I'd expect from HTC.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys but shown is known to do this, they are restricted and prohibited to release or leak the actual images of the up and coming mobile phones, it would defeat the purpose if unveiling it at the MWC.
Look what they did with last year's Galaxy s5
They thru everyone off on purpose to think Samsung had finally ditched the home button....
But no..
Right after the unveiling they quickly replaced the image with the accurate one. After all, all they really need are he sizes and the shape of the device, the font doesn't matter, it could look like mickey mouse and all they talk need to do is show off the case... the front has nothing to do with the case, the front camera or speakers have nothing to do with the case.... Nothing...

Hmm.... they didn't put attention to detail in this one. Check out the differences..

Well, what might actually be the case here is the picture on the left (the camera app) is actually taking the photo, the picture on the right is viewing the photo in the gallery app so the space on the top which would be the supposed bezel would simply be extra space as the picture isn't full screen.
Take that with a grain of salt, because that whole commercial doesn't really feel that 'professionally done'. It could just be graininess but when watching the screen you can almost tell that some cgi work was done on it.

Based on the this link from amazon the black bar with the HTC logo is gone

if it is true, is a good step forward!

LOL i don't think thats the phone, and well spotted with the difference, the smile and no smile on the phone screen, fail

Get real guys that's the M9,not saying there won't be a ultra version also but that's the M9

We're talking about the photo being different. The photo they zoom in on has obviously been retouched and was not taken with the M9 straight out of the camera.
