I have recently used my camera for a picture but I noticed that my screen look like its burning up like pixels are burning. So I took some picture of it. I'm not sure why it show it like this but screen look very bad in camera mode beside this picture was taking at half 7 at night. And while recording I did not see very great quality even my cousin Samsung wave 2 5 megapixel looked better on picture and video. I just want to know if any1 else has felt the same. for some reason i could not upload the picture and i will try again to upload them.
the first 1 is just in the camera mode and flah is not on and the second is flash on but you can still see bad colours. and in video just forget it i can see sort of light on the screen going up and down and it is very disturbing while recording. i have tried to take a picture at day time and the quality looks good still not better than my old htc hd2 because of pixelated.
i had to cut some part which was due to privacy but this is the picture i took at my collage and this was the assisemant i had to write it and i took picture of it rather than writing it down. but you can see the collage picture looks alright but at night it just look messed up. and the settings are same all the way through everything to set with custom level set to middle all of them and picture is set to 8 megapixel.
please feel free to write about your experience you had with your camera and your screen and i have watched youtube and i dont see anything wrong this is i think camera problem. other than phone is 3 weeks old no drops no nothing still in brand new condition.

Do you have a camera mod installed?
What ROM are you using?
If its stock rom and you haven't changed the camera, then take it to the store you bought it from, and demand an exchange because that camera is obviously messed up.
my experience with my sensation, and about all mobile phones, is that in low light conditions the quality is really poor.
Need to say I did not experience the bad quality you're showing. With flash it should have been better if the distance of the photographed object is not to big.
I'm using revolutionary 3.1.1 rom and I did not use any mod or anything its the camera that is showing the quality like this.

I cannot take this back to store because I have bought this phone from gumtree and when I bought it the box was sealed and there was nothing wrong with the seal.
Everything was brand new and I have uploaded a picture of day time the camera look ok but night time it quality goes crap

As I'm a fresh user of this forum I am not sure if I can post any pictures, but I'll give it a try.
I took this first picture in sheer darkness. I could not see the model car on the display. With the flash it shows on the photo. It's not sharp because of that.
The second one I took with a little light so I could just see the modelcar in the phone display. This picture is a little sharper but still not good.
The third I took under a halogen desk light and is clearly sharper.
Hope it helps!
Also took a daytime picture for you. Well...it's a bit cloudy and foggy outside so the pic is not 100% clear, but think you can get the "big picture" about the overall quality.

Hey Dude,
1. As @Speedy72 said, either smartphone or regular phone does not take good photos due to physical optic parts limitations.
BUT
2. Some time ago I had similar problems with pictures also with ARHD roms. ROM is genuine but problems were obvious for me. It also gone bootloops once a day. Now changed to Virtuous Sensation XE 2.1 and both mentioned problems vanished for me.
So, my advice - try different ROM (if U like ARHD then Virtuous XE will be just for you).
Good luck!
Im actually having the same problem with the camera... hopefully thats just the way they all are when it comes to a red or orange color
Try hitting the menu key and messing with the image adjustments to see if you can make it normal again.

In low light, the camera blows. One thing that seems to have worked for me was to disable the "Auto-Enhance" feature. Pictures were much better. I now run ARHD 4.1.5 with Amaze Cam v7 and it takes great pictures, even in low light.
With mod, low light
Without mod, auto-enhance enabled, daylight
Notice the major blotchiness of the daylight picture.
Hope this helps

this is what i mean the camera is ok in day but at night this is what makes me mad.
can you see the right top corner all those little pixel they look disgusting
As far as the really bright pixels, did you try disabling the auto-enhance and take the picture again? Let me know how that works.
In the really dark photos, those pixels are called noise. Even top of the line DSLRs have that (to some degree) in low light. It's a phone camera. It's going to happen. Go check some Apple forums and you'll find out that the 4S has this too. I'm afraid its something you're going to have to live with my friend, or carry around a light

i have took the auto enhance off but still those little pixels are sticking out beside i looked up for camera noise and this is how my screen looks all the time before taking picture.
i hate this noise thing so bad because it only happens at night and this is the only time when i rarely use my camera.

Have you thought about backing up your apps and anything else you need to keep and trying Android Revolution HD 4.1.5 (I think 4.1.6 is out now actually)? It has Sense 3.5, then you can flash the Amaze camera mod v7 (v8 causes problems for some). The newest InsertCoin ROM also has Sense 3.5, same with RCMix. Try them all. It will produce less noise, but like I said before, you'll never lose the noise fully no matter what camera or software you go to.

What's up with the camera? it seems pretty crappy compared to the Droid Incredible that I just replaced. It doesn't seem to rotate when you take a landscape as opposed to vertical orientation. Uploading pics to the by text keeps the picture in the wrong orientation. I'm hoping the camera gets an overhaul at some point.
I Donno about all that. I just think it takes crappy photos. Side by side comparison of the Thunderbolt, Continuum, and the DX, show its image quality is worse than all of them... by far. That's indoor, outdoor, resolution and white balance.
Its the worse camera on a phone I've owned since my OG Droid. Even if memory serves me right, my BB Tour had much better image quality.
I can upload some cropped comparison photos of the aforementioned phones if there's intrest.

Very odd complaints considering that every single professional review i've seen talks about the camera being one of the best, if not *the* best they've seen on a phone. Mine comes today, will be curious to see how I do in this dept...the camera quality was one of the things that sold me on it.
I've found the pictures taken with my Charge to be on par with my old Incredible--which is to say, very good.

The picture quality on mine is better than my HTC Incredible and it had a awesome camera compared to the competition!
Video quality on the Charge is also better than my HTC Incredible, it's smoother and the image quality is superb!
Only annoyance is the case design allows easy fingerprints on the camera lens that I frequently clean off with a microfiber cloth to keep it from messing up pictures or video.
*If your camera isn't taking good pictures, clean the lens with a microfiber cloth.
**Also to note, the El' cleapo supplied Class 2 SD card is too slow to take good quality HD video. I changed mine out for a Class 10 card and it's silky smooth and fast.

Are you still within the time frame to exchange? I took some shots with mine today when I got it and they came out just as good as the reviews promised. Easily the clearest and cleanest pics i've gotten from a phone, ever. There has to be something going on with yours. Even a warranty exchange might be worth it.
+1 on camera being great. Worlds better than my thunderbolt. The incredible had an awesome camera as well.

I think the quality of the pictures is good. It's just the camera software I think that sucks.. Just seems to be clunky and hard to take a good picture. The Dinc was just easier all I was sayin.. Is there a setting or something that will auto rotate the screen when switching from portrait to landscape? I'm going to just buy a cannon rebel for good pics, but this is handy when backpacking or something you know..
Guys, could you check something on your sensation: whether the front facing camera pin hole is perfectly in the middle of the lens circle? On my sensation, it sits slightly above the center of the circle. Don't know whether it's designed like that or just a fluke .

Slightly above on mine. Non-issue. Everybody got their panties in a bunch over it in MT4G forums back in the day too.
Damnit it looks like HTCstill has ****ingQC problems. This and now the screen too, **** my luck

Well, good to know that their's other also like this. I mean its no biggie, and who knows, maybe it was designed to be like this. Folks, please let us know how your front camera is.
Wow.. Just wow.
Mine is off center high and to the left but the camera view doesn't seem affected by it.
they put mine on the back
its the same on all the phones, looks slightly higher from the normal viewing angle. just know it doesnt have an effect on your cameras ability to capture images/video so there is no cause for concern. just more ocd phone owners, but i guess we all tick like that
Yeah..same as mine. Slightly up side..
Anyone figure out how to take good quality pictures or video in the dark with this phone ,even with my flash on it looks gritty video looks horrible. I go outside i take breathe taking pictures and videos seems odd .Indoors its the opposite. Any suggestions i don't have a case covering the camera and no plastic protecter over the screen its just gritty looking when i turn camera on indoors.I called tmobile tech support and the person i talked to said they checked there sensation they got and noticed it looks gritty too

have you tried playing with the scenes in settings all my pics are crisp
Hello,
If you enjoy taking macro (close-up) photos with your phone, but always have trouble getting the camera to focus properly, I put together a quick video guide with a couple of tips and tricks that may help you.
I found this method particularly useful for subjects that are not perfectly static (like insects or flowers blowing in the wind).
Here it is: http://youtu.be/vDMXcWffQJs
Let me know how you get on, and feel free to post any macro shots you have taken in this thread (ideally taken with the sensation of course).
Bugsy.
Reserved for further info
Nice explanation, i know nothing about taking photos ( i just point and click and hope for the best, so the more vids/tuts the merrier!!!
Thanks for this. It's just the thing I've been looking for.

Pretty simple! Thanks for the quick vid! I can happily snap pics quite quickly!
Great guide.
Definately helps on closeups! cool
Wow, thanks. I've gave up before while trying to take close up pictures before.
Well it maybe because I've been trying to focus in low light but my camera doesn't seem to be focussing properly.
I have tried focusing on my hand even in daylight but it doesn't work, it looks for focus but nothing happens after that
Someone mentioned before that it maybe because of the colour contrast and the camera doesn't recognise anything there... Any help would be appreciated

In the video, you'll see that I used the text of a newspaper to establish focus lock. If you're outdoors, look for something that is relatively flat (not smooth or reflective though) and has some features. Rough concrete, old tree bark -even cut grass and soil can work surprisingly well at times. The most important thing is to fill the entire frame with something that's easy to focus on.
Finally - the poorer the light conditions, the more important it is for you to keep the camera still for the initial focus. In the video I used my finger as a distance guide, but it can also be very useful for resting your camera against.
I know I'm a noob to XDA... but here's a quick tip I've got, for nearly the same thing but in low light.
Use the camcorder with the flash on. Focus, switch back to camera, and snap the pic.
That method is useful when there's almost no light in the room, and the phone won't focus correctly.
Hope this will help someone some day.
Also, great tip!

That is an extremely good tip for low light. With autofocus disabled, switch to video mode> enable video light> tap to focus> then switch back to camera mode for the shot. I like! I might even update the video with that one

You're welcome man! I've been using that trick for years now. I started doing that with my MyTouch Slide, then the MT4G, and now my Sensation. (I'm at HTC guy)
Name's Chris btw
I use the Camera360 app. It includes the 'photo light' option in addition to 'flash on/off/auto', so no need to switch to video for focusing.
Thanks for the tip though.
Cheers, Jp
does anybody else get fuzzy pictures? i just noticed it happening. espically when i zoom in. and the focus seems to be louder than before. but im not sure if thats just me worrying about it.
When you zoom its digital zoom essentially cropping it to look bigger, and the camera noise its a sound played by the speaker. So if your ringtone volume is louder the sound will be louder.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
even without zooming its seems that it is really fuzzy. and its the sound of the actual camera, not the noise coming from the speaker. i have the volume all the way down and when it is focusing it makes a lot of noise. i think that the focus may be broken.
Oh ok, mineakes no noise, other than the artificial sound, you most likely have bad hardware, take it back to where you got.it and show them the issue to get a replacement if possible.

Pretty sure its normal for the camera to make a faint "click" as it auto focuses. Try pointing the camera at different distances (to subject being photographed), or slide the zoom all the way from one extreme to another. Its pretty faint, so you have to listen closely, and if there is any background noise you may not hear it at all. It also doesn't seem to make the noise all the time. Sometimes it also clicks when you exit the camera app.
At least I hope its normal, as my phone does it! :-O
Agree that if the noise has gotten louder, and the camera is not focusing, the camera hardware may have failed.
It's very faint I should have said.

A lot of my photos come out blurry as well, but thats because my hand shakes and whatnot. While the HOX takes beautiful photos, it is VERY easy to blur them if your hands arent steady enough.
On the other hand, my video keeps freezing up every time I hit the record button. I have to reset the phone to solve the issue. This problem didn't come up until after I rooted my phone. Perhaps theres a correlation there..?
now that you mentioned it i didnt notice it until after i was rooted. i just updated to the newest ruu (which is annoying me with my contacts) and im gunna see if it still happens. thank you for the responses everyone.
This is probably the 10th thread about this subject. Its normal and its coming from the lens itself.
How is unable to record video "normal?"
My HTC One XL pictures also look pretty shabby. Take any picture and zoom in after to see just how fuzzy and blurry they are. With the iPhone 4S they are much better. Not nearly as much blur or fuzz in pictures taken by iPhone 4s.
