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

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.

yes i think i do ...y?
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???
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.
Htc Sensation XE, ARHD 6.6.3
Folks, I've a question.
Am I the only one who misses the good old days when phones used to have proper hardware camera keys on upper right corner (in landscape) where they're supposed to be?
I've searched and searched but can't find the reason or inspiration to get rid of that. Is it just that we're going towards a fully mechanical keyless device evolution?
Not happy about that!
What do poeple think?
My sidekick 4g has one and it came out only a year or two ago.

My G2 has one and it is very useful, but just recently flashed a rom that has touch to focus and lately haven't use the hardware button that much, the one x, s, and galaxy s3 will have the option of taking pictures while shooting video so there is an excuse of not having the button
Atrix doesn't but atrix 2 does. I like camera buttons. It feels much more like a camera.

Sorry to piss in your puddle but the Maxx doesn't have a physical camera button.

Seems kind of pointless to have a hardware camera key these days. Because of the touch screen. And also the size of my One X plays a big role in that too.

You bastard! ooh well. I thought the review I watched showed one. Thanks.
My Dell Venue too has a hardware button
If you still have buttons on your phone you can remap them to be the camera key.

Rather than having a specific camera key (after all, not everyone uses the camera) it would be more useful to have one or two wakeup keys, for which the user can target whichever apps he wants.
There are MODS for that. Example: HERE for Droid Charge.
sony xperia pro, not even a hardware camera key, also hardware keyboard. Feel's so good when you can actually USE the display, and don't have to use half of it for onscreen keyboard.
I use to like using the hardware camera button on my G2, but for some reason when I do use it the picture comes out blurry due to the force needed to depress the button. I found it much easier to use the touch screen to take the picture. But that's probably user error? I'm hopeful.....
SE Xepria X10a- Has one
Samsung Captivate (i897)- Nope
Motorola Atrix 2- Has one
HTC Vivid- Nope
But I do miss the actual hardware key, though touching the screen to focus is cool, somewhat miss that "click" feeling.....
I wouldn't mind a hardware key. It makes it a lot easier to open the camera quickly from any app which is good if you only have a few seconds to capture a shot.
Sent from my VS920 4G using XDA
imho
in my opinion when the screen gets bigger and the phone has less hardware buttons, like the new one x it is more than useful to have a f'king camera button.
thats the thing i really like on the windows phone 7 phones and missing on the android side.
I want to replace my DHD, but Im not sure whether to choose a one x or galaxy note2.
Personally I love the design of one x and im fantastic about its UI, but after so many problem exposed im not so sure now.
galaxy note2 seems like a powerful phone, no interest on its UI but maybe a good phone.
I want to know if the problem with one x on the web is true and how good its performance is. i saw someone in DHD forum go back to DHD from one x, and not sure why.
Sorry for my messy expresson( maybe because im in mess....) but I do need some help
Hi. I do own both a DHD and a HOX. Since I bought a 64gb SD for the DHD and installed ICS on it I felt in love with my DHD again.
Don't get me wrong, HOX is a great phone! It's fast, makes great pictures and so on, but it has no place for an external SD card. I do want to have everything on my phone, from music to videos to games. With my HOX I have to watch carefully it's space.
If I were you, I would buy the galaxy s 3.
Press thanks, if it was helpful.

Lol there is an internal virtual SD card, of course it's possible to transfer stuff to and from a pc, leaving out such basic functionality would be ridiculous

better than iPhone; you do not need any iTunes like prog to transfer files, you can use OneX int storage as an usb storage as usual, mine is 32gb international model, I had also similar thoughts and hesitations as well at the beginning but this is not really a problem. I can easily transfer my camera shots, videos etc without problem.
The only concern, with my OneX, is wi-fi policy; it goes sleep when screen off, and this turns out a problem if you use it for ex. as remote control for other devices like tv, stereo etc in your home network like me, because reconnection to network is required each time you wake your phone, also the same issue makes streaming music via home network through your sound system unusable, just due to that. Otherwise, if you will not use your phone in that way, no any matters at all.
Note: in some custom roms this is already fixed afaik.

I think that the hox is the best phone on the market. My wife ownz a sensation, which is much better that the desire hd and the one x blows it away! The screen quality has no match and it is really fast. In the initial roms the hox had some problems but with that latest update from HTC everything works great.
I also use a custom rom which makes the one x to fly...
Buy the one that you like, all your options are great phones.
Get a Motorola razr maxx or wait and get a razr maxx hd.
Battery life is almost double, it is made by Google so you will get quick updates and there is an sd card slot.
I wish I knew it existed before I bought my one X.

Google bought Motorola for patents, they aren't in charge of their software updates.
Only Nexus devices get quick updates. No Motorola device (apart for the Xoom which is a Nexus) has got JB yet for example

Thanx for your pationt help,man.There's another thing coming to many mind that how much space we can use as Rom to install apps? If there is some storage work like the tf card, it cannot work like Rom at the same time.am I right on this?

It really depends on your network provider. I am living here in a deserted place in U.A.E and i haven't face this kind of problems yet.
If you pick One X, i am sure you'll not regret it, besides from its simple and good looking design, the phone itself is a beast, especially if you unlock your phone and install a custom rom, battery life will surely increase as well.

LG opted to have less bloat so that's why. I think the camera is fine how it is, although options are always good.

Try this ... A Better Camera
I also recommend A Better Camera. It's what I use and I can confirm that even the free version allows you to control the ISO and White Balance settings (along with lots of other things too). I haven't seen anything about the stabilization settings, so I think you are out of luck there.
PS - you can change the stock action of holding down the volume down key when the screen is off and it can start A Better Camera instead of the stock camera if you want. That's what I do. I think I'm doing this with the G3 TweaksBox xposed module.
Image stabilization.... it's hardware, you can never turn it off

Try the stock Google Camera. I did several shots using it and the stock and favored the Google shots over the stock in 2 of the 4 comparisons. It doesn't have a lot of settings but ISO is one of them.
