hihi
me and my girtlfriend got the HD2 since one week. I installed alle patches and BSB Tweak on the Phones. Everything is ok on my phone. But the Camera of my girlfriend does not sharpen pictures over 10 cm and longer away from the Object. I dont know, if the camera works good before. She only tried after i patched and optimized the Phone. A Hardreset dont chance the probleme. Same problem as before.
I dont know if it is a hardware failure, or any problem in the Settings.
Hardreset with 1.43 German doensnt work. Should i send it to repair the phone back to the company i get it, or do u think it is possible to repair the Focus, who sharpened the pictures via newer ROM, who maybe released the next few days or weeks?
what do u think.
thx and sry for the bad english

Your english is fine mate
If you hadn't tried a hard reset then I'd suggest checking that auto focus was actually enabled, as you can disable it from the camera settings (open the camera, open the options screen, press the setup icon & then go to advanced).
Since a hard reset hasn't changed it, I'd have to say it's a hardware fault. It's good that you've got another one there to compare it to so you know it should work properly. Just a shame that this one sounds faulty.
Hope you get it sorted quick. Good luck
Have you read and done what it says in the manual, page 240 in the English edition?

the one and only option ist "Touch Focus" i see on advanced options.
Do u mean, a rom updated doenstn work, when 1.61 is official or a higher rom?
on my phone, i hear a voice on the lensse when it sharpened the picture, on my girlfriends phone there is no voice on the lense, only the white quad moves, but there is no noise from the lense.
mayebe it is possible to destroy the Focus, when i update the camera patch and do optimices with BSB Tweaks?

thx
Ripperjack,
See this...
" ... • Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and
take a photo.
• Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and
start capturing a video. Press the button again to stop capturing.
To take a photo using Touch Focus
Touch Focus allows you to focus on a particular area of the screen by
touching it. Touch Focus is enabled by default and is available in the
Photo and Contacts Picture capture modes.
1. Set the capture mode to Photo or Contacts Picture mode.
2. Tap the area on the screen where you want to focus. The focus
indicator positions itself on the selected area.
Note If you tap outside the effective focus area, a white box appears to
indicate the area where you can use Touch Focus.
3. Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and
take a photo. You can also directly press and hold the area you
selected (that is, the area enclosed within the focus indicator) to
focus on that area and take a photo.
To capture photos in Panorama mode
Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and capture
the first photo. Press and hold the button again to focus and capture
each subsequent photo and complete the panorama....."

Full manual available here...http://www.htc.com/uk/userguide.aspx?p_id=297
PS: I just checked on my device. If yo go into the camera app>settings>advanced, make sure Touch Focus on the first page is set to ON.
ok, thx. Try this all. But have no effect. Onlyo the Quad moves, but not sharpening the Picture.
A new ROM maybe cannot repair this?
Hi Ripperjack,
If I were you I would move to the official ROM 1.48. Then BEFORE loading any fixes or software on (1.48 has most of them in it anyway) I would test the camera and see if it works according to the handbook.
If it does not then you might want to consider sending the device back as faulty and getting a replacement.
Cheers

have the original 1.48 ROM from HTC on my HD2. It was on my phone already, when i get it. Girlfriends phone also have 1.48. I wanna try to flash the 1.61 Custom on my phone, but when i do this, i loose my warranty?
otherwise, is there any Registry entry to activate/deactivate the Focus on Camera?
push maybe someone know it?
I was taking a few pics against a bright background so of course, i couldnt see the subject. It would have been a cool shot if i could have used a flash but the camera's metering only gave me the option of automatic and off. Is there a mod out there that gives me the option to turn the flash on no matter what?
i have 3 flash options, auto, off and on.
I have to agree with shak7i
when taking a picture, top right hand icon i have the X to close the camera and under the X is the symbol for the flash, off, always on and automatic, i just select always on which is the arrow, and arrow with the A is automatic but you probably know this already!!
rather strange you only have 2 options, I know when the battery is below 20% that it is disabled but that just makes the options grey, and does not limit the options,
I just put my phone to a very bright window and i still had 3 options so not sure how to help you now!!( i thought maybe when its a bright shot that maybe you could not select always on but i could!!
hope you get it sorted!!
Really odd, I press the flash buttons and its either auto off or on
Weird - found it
So i guess i just missed it somehow. I just tested it on myself. Note to self: the flash is SUPER bright, not flash it in your eyes....
Flash ON = Photo light?
Resurrecting the thread...
I'm curious about the Flash ON mode. Is there a way to use the "flash" as a photo light? When taking pictures in very low-light conditions, you can't see anything on the screen! Once I take the picture with flash, I suddenly see improper shots (either a subject is missing or I'm unintentionally focusing on something else).
Bottom line is: Does anyone know how to really force the flash on to use it as a photo light?
P.S. I know about using the flash as a torch and going into the camera, but that's a little low-tech and cumbersome, don't you think?
sorry if i might sound like a newb since this is my first post ever here but i think you can "force flash" by having the flashlight app in the background and then opening your camera, hope that helps

How do you do that? My flashlight app always stops the flashlight when in background.

That's true, with the exception of the camera. Just go into the flashlight app, press the hardware Home button, go into the camera, and the flashlight app will turn on again.

Hey, thanks for replying!
I did that exactly and the moment I go to the main menu, the light stops. BTW I'm on a TMO US HD2 with TMo stock ROM.

No problem.
Yes, it does that, but once you enter the camera, it should turn on again.
If the light will not stay on for you, search the forums for "torchbutton"
I know it works, just tested it ....

Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely check it out
just want to say that our roms have photo light behaving correctly
you press auto - it only goes off when necessary
you press on - the light goes on and stays on (until you change flash mode or exit the camera)
you press off - it goes off
Does it have to do with drivers?

So is it something to do with the camera drivers? Or can that be achieved by registry tweaks?
Something interesting: In my previous ROM, I was able to use the flashlight app and go into the camera, where the flashlight will turn on as a photo light. In the ROM I flashed last night (the one in my sig), I am unable to do that same thing! That's just weird!
Ive been looking for an answer for this too,
Ive tried several different roms & noticed that that the 'flash always on' option has only worked on stock European & roms without 576mb ram, (the last one i tried was kwbr 2.0 wm6.5),
The TmoUS based roms ive used the flash only activates in low light.
Hope some chefs can shed some light on this on... (sorry!)
If you switch to the video camera, there is an always on option ....
indeed it is driver realted, and not something that can be fixed via a cab either, it has to be cooked in.
all our roms (there are a lot) are 576 + tmous + flash properly always on
when i press the camera button or try activating the camera or video camera i get "the application camera(process.com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. with a force close.
it sounds like a software problem so i decided to root it and change the rom. same issues. i am using the cm01 kernal and the cute x rom from green curry . http://forum.sdx-developers.com/intercept-development/(virgin-mobile)-cute-rom/
is there a fix for the camera? i tried 3rd party camera apps and same issues.
I've been using the camera a lot lately and have always had a problem with the picture quality, mainly indoor pics. I would hold the phone steady, press the shutter button down halfway, wait for it to focus, then take a picture, but it would still end up a little blurry. Anyone getting problems like this? If not, what settings are you using?
Also, my biggest gripe is the fact that camera settings can't be saved. I would set it up so a friend could take a picture of me, but they somehow always press that search button, which then erases all my camera settings when they go back to the camera app. Did anyone find a hack or some sort of method to keep the settings permanent?
The main reason I have to bring all this up was biggest after taking blurry pictures last night, my friend's just bust out their iphones and with one simple click, they took an almost instantaneous photo with no settings to mess with and no blur at all.
I would also like to add that one of my friends was trying to take photos with his lg quantum as well, and he has the same problem. Is this a problem with windows phone 7 in general?
you could check out shcamera. It's a sideloaded app that was developed for the hd2 crowd, so it doesn't use the camera button, it's all screen rouc, and it doesn't have all the various settings/adjustments, but it saves settings and works pretty good. Tap screen to focus, press onscreen shutter button to take picture.

Same here. I owned an HD7 that didn't have this blurry issue. It seems the Focus camera is super sensitive to movement.
Thanks, at least I know i'm not the only one with this problem. I try to turn on anti shake everytime i use the app, which actually helps a lot. The problem is when I give the phone to someone so they can take the picture. They somehow accidently press the search button and I have to play with the settings again. Kind of a bummer, but I'll try to get used to it.

You might consider having them take more than one picture. I've noticed that when I take another picture after the blurry one, the results tend to be more normal. Maybe have them take a preliminary picture and then a real one. This seems preferable to messing with settings all the time.
Nice. The new NoDo update made the anti-shake option on by default. That will help a lot!

the nodo update didnt default the anti shake on by default on my focus .
The official nodo update for att focus includes a Samsung update that defaults the antishake on, helps lessen accidental capacitive button presses, includes an att hotspot sniffer/whisper that auto logins, and has a provision for transferring att phonebook contacts onto the phone

Me, too. Still have blurry pics, though.
in low light indoors you might want to try the setting photo quality on medium instead of the default hi setting.
Lately I've been having a weird issue with my camera, stock or modded on any rom.
When I open the camera and press on the little smiling emoji, it opens the screen like it should but there is nothing on it, no icons etc.
If when the screen is opened and i press the + button i get a message "unaable to find application to perform this action"
When I install a new rom I always do a full wipe
Any help appreciated
Help please

I'm pretty sure that the ROMS you installed are debloated. So they took off and unistalled certain apps, in your case: stickers for the camera app :/
You can ask the developer if he can give you the zip, but it's unlikely!
Hope I was clear!
