Hello Xda Members,
I found the following problem. If I want to take a photo with the stock camera at night, both LEDs are activated and then looks very bright.
However, when I make a video recording the problem is not because only one LED is used. When I used the Gcam also no problem, it is only photographed with an LED and the pictures are perfect.
Is there a solution to use only one LED with the stock camera?
Thanks for your answer

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, I did a forum search but found nothing. Just like the title says, when I take a photo with my HD2 using the camera flash, the photo has a weird green tint. Photos taken without the flash look fine. I have gone into the camera settings and played with the contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings but this didn't really solve the problem. Strange thing is, right after I take the photo, it goes into preview mode and I can see the photo with the green tint...after a few seconds it goes back to the camera. But in the split second before it goes back, I can see the photo without the green tint and it looks perfect! But only for a second and the saved photo is GREEN
I got the same green effect on my 2.2 froyo. This happened only after upgrading to the stock 2.2.
Any ideas?

Ive had green tint in some photos when ive changed the camera iso to 800 and forgotten to lower it or put it into auto when going into a brightly lit environment. basically seems like the sensor or amps/ADC are being overloaded.
Check your iso setting, try it in either auto or iso100 and see if you still have the problem
I upgraded to the latest ROM version 3.14.831.3 couple of weeks ago, after that I found the camera flash light does not work when switch to always on mode. The flash light would be not on until I take a photo which acts the same as the auto mode.
I have tried the factory reset, which seems it only restore back to the latest ROM with clean settings, but the problem is still there.
Any one has same issue?
Yes, it's the new software version that does that.
I was thinking if we could take the files from the old camera software and put them in this version.
It's annoying not just if you want to use the phone as a flashlight (solved with torch app, but not that handy) but the picture quality in low light conditions totally sucks, because it won't focus when the flash is on.
This is by design... it's SUPPOSED to behave like that! The way the flash illuminated constantly like a torch/flashlight in the old ROM was very annoying... it wasted battery power, blinded your subjects and was distracting for everyone else around. You won't find a conventional 'proper' camera exhibiting this behaviour (actually, they can't anyway due to the way xenon flash tubes work).
The new flash behaviour in the new ROM mirrors how a conventional camera would behave and, IMO, is a big improvement.
As for focusing, I've never had much of a problem and think the HD2 does a very good job in low light most of the time. The only real solution to accurate low-light focusing is an IR focus-assist lamp.

If it is by design, HTC should disable the option in the camera mode to have the flash light always on. And also disable the flash light in the Camcorder too, it works totally fine in the Camcorder mode.
Plus they do not mention this change in the ROM description.

I think you're misunderstanding how the camera app is designed to work... when you select the option to force the flash on, you're telling the camera app to always fire the flash, regardless of the ambient light level. The flash LED is not supposed to stay lit the whole time that 'force flash on' is enabled and using the flash LED as a flashlight to see where you're going has got nothing to do with the camera app. By modifying the behaviour of the flash LED in the new ROM, HTC have replicated the behaviour of a regular camera and have enhanced the camera app in doing so. Having the flash LED constantly on has got nothing to do with taking better pictures.
When in video mode, of course the LED should be constantly on as its purpose in that mode is that of a video light. This is correct functionality.

I think you're right about this. What would be nice is if there was a way to have a little more control over it. For example - if you're in reaaally low light and want to take a picture you can't even see what it is you're trying to take a picture of unless the flash LED is on - so I understand the op's frustration. What would be ideal is if there was a way to tell the HD2 to activate the LED flash X seconds prior to taking the picture. That way you could make it come on for a second or two before it takes the pic so you can actually see what you're takin a pic of.
or, for those rare times when the light must be on when taking pics, you could always turn on the torch and then start the camera.
Any recommended torch app for HD2?

on my device that results in overexposure
Hello everyone. in my moto g I noticed that when I take a picture with the front camera (any app) the frame that is saved is that this one or two seconds before the time when actually shooting the photo. with the rear camera does not have this problem. only if you use the hdr the problem disappears as the latter tends to delay the capture, the problem is that the app I use does not have the option to use the HDR.
someone has a possible solution?
edit: I realized that the problem is in low light conditions. When there is a lot of light the camera works perfectly
So, I've been having some issues with the focus on the rear facing camera for the V20
This is a pic with the Wide Angle Lens:
imgur.com/EBu8tdN
It's crisp and clear (ish)
This is a pic with the normal lens:
imgur.com/fYDOhNd
It's blurry as hell, unless I'm like two inches away:

I've tried in both Auto and Manual mode, and have tried the focus in both Auto and Manual.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
P.S. sorry for the imgur links, I haven't posted enough to be allowed links in side my post.
Nope. Just issues with longer focus in darker scenes but that is every phone. Lens clean?
Did you find any solution, I've the same issue.
#4
i have same issues
any solutions?
Tap to focus
I find just pointing it and clicking doesn't set focus properly with some scenes
It's a bit odd as the G4 would have zero issues with this and the V20 also has IR AF
Any Solution yet?
I am also having the same issue, the focus doesn't work, neither manually nor in auto mode. Sometimes, just sometimes, it luckily does work, but most of the time it doesn't.. i dont understand what the problem is..
Recently, the camera was acting way weird, like showing dark picture with green lines, and sometimes it wouldnt even open, it showed just a black screen, i cleared data of gallery and camera, which resolved the issue, but still void of ability to focus.
I bought this phone yesterday (it's actually second hand) but the only problem I am having with it is the camera. The camera captures photos in green colour. The front camera when it's flash light is on. It makes the whole picture looks green. I don't find anyone else complaining about this issue so does this mean that it's a problem with just this particular device which is in my hands right now, and not with all the GM 5 plus?
Please tell me what should I do?

Try to settings/apps/camera/storage/clear storage
Also check if you have the latest update of the os as well as the latest version of the camera
