Anyone else get pics sent to them, that are thumbnail sized even when clicking to make them full screen?
never had this problem with my G1.
So far i've used
Chompsms
Handcent
both still have the same issue.
does the MT4G limit mms received?

Talked to my old boss in customer care a little while ago, appears to be an emerging issue.

You might want to check your settings in the stock msg app and handcent too.

handcent - i have mms set to 1.2mb and i've had it set to 1mb, when i get a pic someone sends me in a text, its just a tiny thumbnail, once i click the thumbnail..it does not open full screen, crips and clear. I just goes to a black background, with the thumbnail in the milddle.
Stock messaging app - all i see is a bar that says "slide show" once clicked, the pic opens up 90% full screen, and you can tell it is very distorted and not crisp and clear. Its almost as if the thumbnail was "blown up" to fit the screen. But at least the stock app makes an attempt to open fullscreen.
when i long press to save a pic that is sent to me, it saves just a thumbnail. and even when i open it on the phone from its saved location, it doesn't save the proper size. its still a thumbnail
I've tried using chomp, handcent and the stock app. I've also reset all data settings, and even wiped my phone. nothing has fixed the issue. so it can't possibly be my phone's fault. it has to be t-mobiles fault.

Well ive noticed this as well. I sent a picture of myself to one of my friends and then they sent in back.
The pic looks normal size in Go sms
sent My from my crappy mytouch 4G

I like the color/theme part about Handcent. MT4G's have black notification bars, and the fact handcent can be black just makes it more appealing to me. If the mms worked right, all would be golden.

Check your settings again in the stock app and handcent. Like I've said, all the pics sent to me are great.
If the pic youre getting is small or tiny, it may be because the sender had their pic resolution reduced by them or their system to be able send as sms. I know when I try to send some pics from MyT4G...it says some are too large and to resize them.

Nexus S FFC flash????

I was wondering if there is a app or someone can make the screen get bright right before you take a pic with the front camera kinda how there is a "flashlight" app for phones that dont have a led light and use the screen brightness just wondering if this would work for night time pics
searched around could not find anything on this at all so sorry if it was answered
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

i doubt it will work since it is facing you and not the real camera

Well what i was thinking is you take a pic of yourself with the front camera that the screen will get bright white kinda like a flash but just making it as bright white the screen can get for a second to see yourself better at night

I agree. That's very similar to my Mac desktop. The screen flashes right before it takes a self portrait. I bet an app can be created, but the issue might be auto focus. The front cam isn't all that great with auto focus so when the screen flash it might show a white blur.

On my nexus s it does not focus with the front camera justs takes the pic as is, is it suppose to autofocus? Im on nightly #31
Anyone know who we can talk to, to get something working?

[Q] Camera issues

Hello.
Dec 2011 - Here are a few camera issues that I've been experiencing with my new SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 Galaxy S II Skyrocket using the provided camera/video app:
Issue #1: Indoor photos.
Photos taken indoors (in "normal" lighting) typically look very dark. If the flash is engaged, the subject often appears with a blue tint.
Issue #2: MP4 playback audio/video issues.
After transferring video captures to my Windows 7 desktop pc (filetype is MP4), the video and audio are out of sync / not in sync / mis-aligned during playback. File size is a mere 30MB. This was true of Quicktime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc.
Anyone else having a similar experience?

I've had the same issue with the camera my roomate experiences the same issue. I haven't had the issues with the video though. For my camera quick fix I downloaded Camera ZOOM FX yesterday and the picture quality seems much better. Hope that helps, but I'm hoping for a legitimate fix too...

If you are getting the blue photos you have a defective unit. I traded mine in and the new one takes much better pics...no blue tint

Has it been verified that it's a defective unit issue? I ask because I get the blue tint as well. Pictures also seem to come out dark in well lit areas. Alhough, the little widget size image priview it shows in the corner after the picture is taken looks correct, the image itself when viewed anywhere else looks dark.
I'm sure this as been answered 1000 times, but how might one go about restoring apps/data when switching to a new unit? If I make a copy of my rom, can I just flash it to the new unit?

Same issue Here.
When I frame a photo it looks fine, but after the picture is taken it looks dark.
I'll try another camera program like Camera Zoom FX.

I had the blue tint got a replacement and life's good.

[Q] Autofocus

So im thinking about getting a nexus 5 but I want to know if the autofocus issue was ever fixed?? I love taking photos and videos but if the autofocus makes the camera not really useable in a lot of circumstances then I probably wont get it. Tried to find another thread to see if this problem was corrected by developers via a rom or a flash or if it is hardware related.

I have never had an issue. And I take plenty of photos.

+1 for photos. Not for video though. The autofocus is terrible in videos. It's constantly focusing every 2-3 seconds and it makes the video look really odd.
To OP: No, it hasn't been fixed.

The videos I have taken look just fine. I have a puppy and took videos of her running in the snow and they all came out good.

Not my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFxHkuAfj48
Notice the "pulsing" every 2-3 seconds? That's what I mean. If yours doesn't have that, that's good, but most of us have that problem. I guess it's only noticeable when you don't move the camera.

So based that it is feburary, I'm assuming this is a hardware issue. The video breathing problem is ridiculous and also happens on the Nexus 5. That's my concern. If it has been solved in a rom, then perfect, but if this problem is unfixable then thats a dealbreaker for me. I do alot of videos with my phone and I dont want to pay for a $600 phone if I cant do something basic as record videos on it.

If you are that interested in videos, you should consider in investing an actual video camera. Phones aren't really meant to meet the standards of camcorders and other video capture devices, rather than to just catch an interesting moment of someones live with a casual photo/video. I know it sounds rather inconvenient and superficial, but thats just my two cents on the subject.
Edit: I've never had trouble with the breathing video. But then again I don't really use that option that much.

I can't reproduce the refocus whilst holding it still / panning left or right. I can only reproduce it if I move the lens further or nearer to the object. Not a tiny amount that's analogous with a slight wobble or the human conditions rather feeble attempt at stillness - no. I have to almost exaggerate the movement to trigger autofocus

for me it refocuses evety time i move the phone, left/right, up/down, or further/closer. but it doesnt refocus at all when im moving.

not to be graphic but I filmed a video of some dirty deeds and quality was awesome. phone was not moving. I believe some roms have more issues then others. some roms the video is extremely dark and some roms when I take a camera picture with flash is snaps the photo to fast and just captures the flash.

Duo camera issues.

I keep getting a message about duo camera lenses being blocked. Does not happen in portrait mood but always in landscape mode it happens while I hold the phone by the very edges. I am inside my house could it be that there is not enough light?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Could there be dust or a fingerprint on one/both of the lenses?
Also if you're using a case, make sure that it isn't covering either lens as well.

No case and I don't see anything on the lens. I guess it's just mine. Contacted HTC and they said it's an app interfering with the camera because when they had me boot the phone into safe mode, the problem does not occur. I don't have anything downloaded that's camera related.

By any chance does that happen when you block the sensor next to the front camera?

Idk why would that matter taking a picture with the rear camera?

The issue has not been happening lately. I didn't change anything. Anyway I didn't really buy the phone for the camera.

If anyone can figure out what app may be interfering, I'd be curious to know as I'm getting this error also. I also don't have any camera apps.

I can cause the message to pop up in auto mode by getting the lens close enough to something where the top lens doesn't see the same thing as the main lens but I'm guessing you weren't very close to anything since you were in landscape mode.

This. I've noticed myself when taking a picture and something is closer to the left side in landscape mode.
The whole reason behind this camera structure is for depth. That is why 1 lens is slightly recessed to the other. Its provides better distinction making it similar to the human eye. Yes, one eye is slightly recessed to the other, allowing this to occur. We are smarter and faster at processing that information better than the phone can, so essentially, if something appears closer to the left lens, it will error out.
Fix, cover both lenses, move camera, uncover.

Duo Camera Blocked
I am also having this issue. My original M8 camera worked fine but I swapped it due to an unrelated issue. Now, whenever I load the camera app, it says "Duo Camera Blocked". Obviously there is nothing in the way and I have no third party camera apps installed. In fact I have the exact same setup as the previous phone which didn't have an issue.
I'm starting to think that this is a hardware issue and will need replacing. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

duo camera is blocked
First sorry for my bad english,
I got the same problem..When i open my camera app it says '' Duo camera is blocked blabalblaa '' even i ddnt cover the duo camera with my fingers..I sent it to Technical service to change with new one and im still waiting the results from service..And i think this problem will be a chronical problem like what happen to m7 ( pink camera ) last year..

This duo camera's on HTC One M8 GPe, right?

Yes my friend

Anyone help it ?

I just got my M8 today, played with it for a couple of hours before unlocking the bootloader. Restored titanium backup after unlocking, everything was fine until I opened the camera. I also keep getting the "duo camera blocked" warning, I tried taking pictures for an hour straight but the warning persists and I can't use U-focus or any other duo feature on every picture I take.
I'm on stock ROM and recovery and unrooted. Tried to restoring factory settings, no success. Just updated to the newest firmware (1.54.401.10) via OTA but still no working duo camera.
Should I sent it back for repairs (with relocked bootloader) or has someone found a solution for this problem?

Hey I started the thread, but I can not explain how my issue as just gone away. But I think I stated I don't use the camera that much but have recently been using it without issue. Strange. When in doubt I would just exchange if that's an option for you.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I know this is probably very obvious, but make sure your finger isn't covering the Duo camera at all. I've had that message a couple times and it was due to my finger blocking it. You won't see it on the screen.

I'm definitely not blocking the second camera. I tried taking pictures in portrait and landscape, inside and outside, with every possible grip, there is no dirt or dust on the lenses, it just doesn't work..
I just got on the phone with customer support, they advised me to sent it back for repairs.
After calling I just noticed something that might explain what's wrong with my phone. If I look very closely at the second camera lens, it seems like it's tilted sideways a couple degrees. I attached a photo taken through a mirror (I don't have another camera at the moment). Can someone confirm that it's not supposed to be this way?

Its hard to tell in the pic, but to me it looks like the Duo is aimed slightly up. Try taking the pic a bit farther back from the mirror and without the case. Also I've found it's very sensitive to fingerprints causing slightly blurry photos, and you have one on the main lens. See if you can get a slightly clearer one.

Here's a better picture, taken with another camera. I drew a red square to show how the lens appears to be tilted.
I'm sending the phone back for repairs tomorrow, I hope they don't make a big deal of the bootloader being re-locked.
