Hey guys!

Hey guys/gals,
I would like to ask someone or even a couple of you if you could do me a quick favor.
The HTC Thunderbolt has an 8mp camera. I would like someone, to put the camera on its best possible settings, highest quality in everything, with good lighting, and snap a picture.
You can even post it for me if you wish. All im looking for is the file size in which your picture is after it has been saved.
Im just doing a quick study on the 8mp camera phones available, and would like your help....and you help is very appreciated!
Thanks!!!

it is 1.1 MB

Mine ranged from about 1.4 to about 2.8 MB. HTH

Just a little insight I actually find that the thunderbolt has a great camera. My 5 mp camera on my Droid 2 was pretty bad. The pictures were grainy and usually not even worth taking. On this I find myself taking pictures all of the time.

Does the thunderbolt stock camera come with EV+/- control?

Just a heads up, file size will increase with iso.

Using the EV+/- control properly will greatly increase the quality of your photos. I have sample shots if your interested...not from your phones, but the feature would work the same on any camera.

[Q] Camera resolution issue

Hi all -
I'm using the latest nightly of Cyanogen 7, but this issue has been present for a few months now. I keep hoping the latest nightly will fix it, but I'm starting to worry that it's a hardware issue.
It's gritty and just very low quality overall. Is this a known issue? Or did my camera get messed up somehow.
Thanks for the help!
It isn't letting me post a link to the image, but I can shoot you a link if you're willing to help.

Try and install MIUI camera onto it.

I tried the MIUI camera, still seems pretty grainy

Oh how long have that been happening?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Just looked back to a picture I took at the end of February and its pretty grainy. It seems to have been getting worse and worse though.

Can you post a picture?

If your pics are grainy in low light, then that is normal. The camera in this phone is not the greatest in low light situations. If outdoor/brightly lit pics are grainy, then something is probably wrong with your camera sensor.

alright and have you tried a different ROM and see if that worked?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Well I started with Revolution (with Sense) and then moved to Cyanogen. I checked photos back to when I probably had Rev and they were still grainy.
I just checked some of the outdoor photos I've taken. The ones where there's ample light turn out pretty well, but when its a bit overcast or in the woods it's still pretty crappy.
Guess I just have to deal with it.
Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it.

I would suggest playing around with the White balance, ISO, and metering mode. I've been able to improve the low light quality of most of my pictures.
currently using MIUI Camera with nice results. might want to try using another camera app like camera360

[Q] photos/images never focus..?

Hello, I am using cm7 the photos in the gallary will no longer take that time to focus and clear up. They stay pixelated. I updated my gallary.apk to a newer version and I am fairly positive this is the culprit. Also the order of my photos has been reversed chronologically. Does anyone know of any fixes or where i can find another gallery.apk that works well.
Thank you!

what would the gallery have to do with how the camera takes photos? I've never used CM7 strictly just ROMs using CM7 as a base but if the cameras are the same, make sure in the settings you have either pre-focus turned on or long focus turned on.

Its nothing to do with the camera. It is when I bring up an image in my gallery or browsing the web they no longer autofocus with the full version of the image.

ooooh, I misunderstood your post...hmm that doesn't seem right lol..no idea..try asking in the CM q&a and see if someone else had/has this problem and if they have a fix for it..sorry dude!

Thank you.

The cm7 gallery kinda sucks. Use quickpic instead. 1000x's better.. free too, Give it a shot..
*Kingpin... get it?*

3D gallery from the market was my fix and it is the same as stock cm I think. Thanks guys.

Skyrocket aokp milestone 6 camera

I just installed the latest AOKP on my wife's skyrocket and the video camera looks like crap. It's pretty blurry, nothing like it used to be or how mine is on my AOKP s2.
Is this common with the rom? I tried switching to the instigator x kernel and it's still the same even with camera fix.
Weird.

Have you tried actually taking a video? The videos arent blurry

Well no I haven't. I will check it out today, it may just be how the screen looks while recording. I did try switching to different resolutions, switching from front to rear, etc.

You were right, video looks fine. Guess the camera just looks weird while filming.

Video Lag

i haven't really seen anyone complain about this?! i've been taking videos recently (1080p) and the camera is AWFUL! VERY laggy, especially with bright lights and lots of movement.
anyone else noticing this?! hopefully they'll release a fix. i could upload some videos if you guys want examples.

So I guess no one has been having this problem? Weird.

Lard slow? Nope, stock video camera was awesome.
