Hey guys,
today i took a picture of my LCD-TV screen to show a scene out of a PS3 game to a friend. It took about 2 Minutes to save this picture and even then only half of it was saved? The upper half was normal but the lower half was grey. When i take a "normal" picture saving only takes 1 second...
I made pictures of the TV screen before with my old W960i and there has never been a problem.
Any ideas or could someone try this with his X1 and get back to me?
soft reset, try aggain?
Doesn´t change anything...
then u should try a hard reset. eitehr your software is totaly borked or u might have an issue with your hardware.
honestly ... it sounds more like a hardware issue but try the hard reset first. dont forget to abckup your data
But why does it work with "normal" pictures then? Have you tried it with your phone?
The image will be a too large file due to the lines in your TV. Try dropping the pixels count to 1 or 2mb.
Yes I already thought of that. It works perfectly when I am not too close to the screen. When I´m too close a lot of coloured stripes appear when the auto focus is working and you can see the pixels of the TV.
Even so, my W960i never had a problem with that. I will try dropping the pixels count when I´m at home.
But still...would be interessting if someone of you could try it!

good question!
try deactivating the "verify picture" inside the camera settings.
the Picture should be allready taken after the shutter sound and should just be written to the memory. so its maybe the "verify" function which borks it up and tries to repair it!?
up/downscaling teh qulity (fine, normal economy) could also help if its a problem with teh JPG compressor!?
just made screens of my LCD Monitor. no problems, even autofocus worx great and a distance of 5 cm
did screens of my Plasma at home a few days ago and here was also no problem.
Ok, I will try it! Thanks guys for your help!
Isnt the job of "verify picture" not just to show you the picture you just have taken?
actualy no idea
i just know that some digicam Firmwares have exactly this feature build in. Check if the taken image isnt corrupted and/or fix some colors
just checked it ... it realy only shows u the picture X-D
hey i just tried it (takin a pic of my laptop screen close up with marco mode on) and the pic took about a minute to save and when i checked it, only the top of the screen was saved and the rest of the image was greyed out....and i'm on the touch-it experience v3 rom
So, just disabled the "verify picture" option and it works perfect!

You mean automatic preview of the pic after taking the a shot??
can u please tell me where can i find that option?
where is this verify picture option?
Turn on the camera and press the "wrench" button down right, then press the "arrow down" button down right. Now you have a menu on the left side, select the "Picture&Video" button up left. It´s the third entry in the list.
It is not the same as the "automatic preview" mode!
i cant figure out how to switch back to the normal back camera (3.2mp one). it keeps on using the frontal one and i have no idea how to switch back.
does anyone know how to do it?

Open Camera
Tap Wrench
Tap Down Button to open up the three icons: (General Settings) (Camera Settings) and (Video Camera Settings)
Tap on (General Settings)...the icon looks like a camera and a film tape.
Where you see Camera Source, it should say front. Tap on front, and choose back.
Easy.
wow thanks poetryrocksalot!
i cant believe i missed the "down button" on the lower right hand corner
I have an HD2 and today found a notification icon that is not identified in the HTC manual, and I can not for the life of me, get it to go away.
It is a square with a tick that protrudes out of the top right corner and appears to the left of my WiFi icon.
anybody know what this is?
Thanks
is it the media uploader ? tap it and see
Is it this one? (see attachment)
If so, it is "Photo or video upload completed"
Might just be me being silly, but how can I use the front camera to take my picture, for example taking a photo for my user account. It just gets me to use the rear for a small icon and I don't really fancy finding a mirror so i can see what I'm taking the photo off much less find the capture button on the screen. I know it can easily,y be taken with the rear just seems silly if you can't take it with the front.

My tablet isn't in reacahble distance atm But when your on the camera, I think you want to hit the settings button (top-right?) and then hit the icon with a camera and arrows around it.
Launch Camera >> Press and Hold finger in middle of screen >> drag finger to the top left to the Camera icon with the arrows >> it will switch to the front camera >> repeat process to get it to switch back.
Top guys. Knew I had to be doing something wrong
I sometimes use the front camera for video but I have noticed that everything is reversed, both pictures and video. For example, take a picture of a book with the front camera and the test will be back to front. Why is this and if there a way to fix this?
Open your Camera app.
Go to Settings (topmost left gear-like icon).
Then under the Pictures section, go to Save options.
Find the ‘Picture as previewed’ option and use the toggle button to turn it off.
Thanks!!!
