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.

Does anyone know how many mega pixels the FFC has? I know it's VGA, I was just wondering if there was a MP count attached to that as well. I can't seem to find it in a Google search.

Ya the FFC is VGA = 640x480 which is 0.3MP.
Thanks! I make the BIOS boot animations for the MT4G and I wanted the camera info to be accurate!
NP, I just looked in to your project as you know jeckyll I used his on HD2 as I just got the phone like week ago I might later put your splashscreen it looks good.
Thanks! I'm just finishing up one for CM7. I have to go back and fix up the one for 2.2 to match this one. I'll also be uploading a matching splash screen for the newest versions.
PS: Sorry to thread-jack!

Apart from the visual effects and animations, sense 3 is the first version able to read html emails from the old exchange. The performance and screen resolution are also important improvements. It is using the last generations softwate and hardware.

now thats a relief.
I never had a issue with cell signal but I did have a issue with the WiFi dropping off when holding it in landscape view until I went into the WiFi settings and pumped WiFi performance to the max. After doing that, the WiFI stays strong when holding it in landscape.

Let us know if you have the deathgrip issue, or any other comments comming from an HD2 to S4G. I just ordered mine last night and already got rid of my HD2, so I'm stuck

I have no death grip problem like I do with my HD2.
BTW: the biggest change I notice last night, besides speed and sense 3.0, was the camera. When recording 1080p, the zoom works. On my HD2, I can only use the zoom before I start recording, not during recording.

Cool beans! I hated having the fixed zoom durring recording. So you're saying that your HD2 has deathgrip but not the Sensation ?
Thanks in advance for sharing.
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
Happens on all HTC devices since the diamond
hello everyone.
i'm an x10 user and i'm planning to buy a sensation this sunday.
about the sound u hear is due to the camera auto focus relaxing and i have the same thing on my x 10. try getting someting hard to focus on with the phone'c camera and u may hear it trying to fucus and sometimes feel it as in my x10.
cheers

Hi all,
Got a slight issue here, not sure if i'm not doing it right but i have tried all kinds of settings and nothing worked.
Anyway, heres what happened...... A butterfly flew into our work and was bugging everyone pretty much all day it eventually landed pretty much right next to me and i wanted to test out the macro on this phone, so i switched to close up and attempted to take a picture but it just came out all blurry, so i changed to different combinations of settings, always getting the same results, it kept focusing past perfection to blurriness??
Either way it was really annoying, I don't actually give a **** about butterflies i just wanted to be able to take a pic up close?
I'm running coredroid at the moment however i believe the camera is the native Sensation one. ??
Any ideas?
I notice that too. It focuses amazingly, and then instantly goes blurry. You have to be a couple of inches away before the macro works.

Is there a decent guide for the sensation camera? I find this to be worse than the desire hd. E.g. if I take a picture of my dog with flash his eyes are always glowing (flash reflection) on the sensation, but never on the desire hd

The camera is good enough for a phone. Buy something dedicated for that kind of work. And never use flash for making pictures, ever.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
Poor close up photographs is a general photography issue. Having trouble avoiding blurry photos up close goes for any type of photography when you're taking shots handheld. That said, I just tried the close-up setting on a wireless mouse and a pen, and at about 4 inches away I'm getting clear shots even though I'm in low light right now.

But my point is flash works great on the desire hd and it's shocking on the sensation. That's not how it should be!

You obviously don't know anything about photography. Flash is absolutely needed in cases where there is insufficient lighting. Otherwise the output will lack detail and be noisy. If the direct flash is too intense, you can always use a reflective surface to produce a softer lighting.
Are you using the macro setting for the camera?
Ever since i flashed cm7 to my phone i noticed that the camera was different and was wondering if there was an app to either replace the cm7 camera or let me use the HTC camer. Its my first post so if im in the wrong section please tell me and i will repost this there.
