Yes, i want to know if anyone else have that problem? Well i live in Turkey so i couldn`t try it on 3G network, but when i use coolcamera app. i see that the picture is very very fuzzy (i couldnt even understand where it shows on the screen) and it is rotated 90degreed as default. Is that because of the under quality front camera that htc uses on hermes or is it that my front camera is broken?
It is (both the quality and the rotation).
The pictures shouldn't be completely fuzzy. It should be relatively sharp depending on the lighting. The issue is probably the focus mode the lense is in.
On the back of the phone, next to the camera lense, is a little slider with a dot and a picture of a flower. You might have it in Macro mode. Adjust the slider so that it is next to the Dot instead of the Flower. Macro mode is for taking pictures of up close objects.
--EDIT:
I just re-read your post and noticed you are talking about the front camera, not the back camera. Sorry!
When I change the camera and I go from the rear one to the front one it's clearly possible to hear a click, like there's a physical switch...
I noticed my back camera lens is slightly lower than center and sometimes it moves to center.... I understand OIS must be the reason but it's unacceptable when camera is off. OIS and consequently camera slight movements must be active when you use camera!
Has anybody else noticed this?
So...do you have a real problem with the camera when taking pics ... or not?
I noticed some noise, not software relating, whenever I leave it on table, bed or something else, ( I do not throw it) I noticed a slightly noise coming from camera and sensor area. I thought that the side volume button, which is a bit loose, does the noise, but I pressed both of them an the noise is there.
If I tap slightly on camera/sensor corner I can hear some kind of like something is loose inside of it.
Has anyone noticed? Or has the same problem?
Thank you.

Probably the phone vibration motor. I noticed it too, mainly when I put my phone down on hard surface. It was more or less present on my previous phones too, so I guess it's normal.
Thanks for reply. I thought that in might comes from the lens.
You are right, noise comes from around the lenses. I've just checked the tear down photos and vibration motor is located near the usb port on the opposite side. So...I don't know what could be the reason
The sound is due to the Camera Lens Barrel required to operate the Auto Focus function. So basically, there are moving parts in the lenses, which are adjusting focus depending on how far the object is from your phone so the pictures are sharp.
Camera module is fitted with a “Stopper” to limit the Lens Unit movement within the space for the Camera module. When the Lens and Stopper touch, when shaking the phone, a slight noise may occur.
That means it's perfectly normal

I was not wrong thinking about Camera Lens.
Thanks for making clear and detailed explication.
I am experiencing clicking noise when I shift between front and rear camera, changing between modes for rear camera. It's a fairly loud noise, at least the loudest I have heard for all the smartphones I have owned since a decade ago.
This is weird because the noise seem to start on my 2nd day of owning the phone. Don't think I notice it yesterday.
Any of you experiencing the same?
THis is completely normal. It's just the aperture opening and closing quickly.
If you look closely at the middle camera while switching between front and rear camera (just swipe up on the screen while looking at the rear camera), you'll see the aperture quickly close then open again. That's the sound you're hearing. Nothing to be worried about.

If camera aperture closes n open hundreds of times per day will it cause physical damage? As it has physical components?
Coz i use snapchat a lot
And whenever i open snapchat it ll open close the aperture shutter.
Yes, the aperture operating sound is unusually loud.
