Try this: open camera, take a picture, and when pressing the back button to exit the camera put your ear close to the phone and can you hear a little "click"? I can hear it from my device, and as much as I can tell, it's mechanical, not from the system or any software.
This doesn't make sense unless there are moving parts associated with the camera hardware.
yes....i can hear it... and it was there in my DHD too... something related to camera lens hardware.....i feel so
I heard it in my previous phone too (SE Vivaz, piece of ****, but the camera was awesome! (Also 8 MP)) It's something with the camera hardware (probably)

Have you never used a non-mobilephone camera in your life? It's simply the camera adjusting focus, or rather resetting it when you close the app. Older phones can't do this, the Sensation can. There is effectively a mechanical movement.
It happened to my Dell streak too. It 's not a problem I think.

Its the auto-focus relaxing

G2x has manual focus but sensation doesn't.
any chance to get that function in sensation ???
Lets take step one first before any talk about ports.
When you tap the screen the camera manually focuses. Is this not what you want?

I'm talking about the manual focus use the slide bar to control... Not the touch focus ..It's more accurate than touch if I need to do some micro adjust
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
U need root...which ain't available...

If you had to ask this I wouldnt suggest you do any rooting and you go do some more reading in the forum. no offense meant.

i got S-off and rooted... what now???
isn't like too early to port over something ? whereby roms and kernel havent been develop yet? i guess is a step by step process? unless you port the camera yourself and put it in the development area? just kidding ... who knows someone or some developer may port it over to the sensation ... cheers....
(the s-off that is being achieved by alpharevx and revolutionary is still in beta stages?)
is it possible right now???
Does anyone know if the camera is actually that different from the sensations or is it just a different camera app?

Couple diff lines in the script for the no shot delay, and the panorama shot. The camera has been somewhat ported over in our apps section. Some people report it working, others can't get it to work.

The slide has a better hardware camera. It has a f2.2 aperture lens. Basically it can let in more light. HTC says its the best camera ever on a phone which I say is BS. They probably forgot about Nokia's Lenses. They make the best camera phones.
Hi is anybody elese having problems with the camera in macro or auto focus. In that it will focus then go out of focus when you press the shutter button. So far it is just 8mp of digital rubbish. If this is the best it's going to get I am going back to my HD2 because so far I am far from impressed with it. HTC stop playing worm and leave apple alone and sort this device out.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I would imagine the DOF (depth of field) is very small and the slightest moment would make you're subject out of focus.
Sent from my HTC Sensation.
Maybe but the strange thing is if I get in in the right position and just tap the shutter button it will hold it, again not ideal. I use the camera to take pictures of small QR codes located on electronic assemblies.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I find that if I uncheck auto-focus especially on macro shots, it focuses better if you tap screen to focus.
Thanks, that is a whole lot better.

I'm also on ordroid, but, when I take a photo on instagram, all freezes and stops responding (non of buttons working on instagram or other buttons), when screen lights out and press turn on button (hope to go to lock screen) it boots on as switched on. Reinstall does all the same
Works fine on VI 4.0.1. Although personally I don't see what is all the hype about.

What's the benefit of using Instagram?
It's another 'cool' app to have for photo blogging - effects are quite nice
Just installed instagram.. currently using sense 4.0 insert coin rc1.. took some photos and upload it to fb.. one FC occurred when to choose profile pic.. the rest seems to be ok...

I cant really see an actual benefit of using it. It seems this app is aimed towards hipsters and females
I always try to take the best picture with realistic colours , why would I ruin it with lame filters that mimic old camera ?

Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.
Is sending it in for repairs an option?
Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.
My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

right i wish i didnt root this thing the day i got it so i could remember how stock camera was!
I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.
Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.
