The autofocus on the sensation is not working for close items you want to photograph.
An example:

Anyone other experiencing this?
Did you use the close up mode?? Mine focuses just fine..

I've had the opposite problem (tried to take a video of some paragliders), close ups are really sharp though. The automatic settings are a little bit unpredictable, might need to set the mode next time.

That makes it even worse. I called HTC and they suspected a firmware issue.
Im running 1.28.401.1
Yeah, I've had some issues with autofocus with close-ups, with the camera set to macro mode. When you tap on the object to focus it will go through its range of focal lengths and miss the subject. The only remedy to this is to move the phone further away. So it seems that the phone's lens/es are more capable of macro shots than the focussing system currently allows.
I called HTC and they said it might be software related and will probably fix this in next update. Let's hope so!
Having the same issue. It manages to focus fine but locks focus at the wrong moment. Glad to hear they'll fix this.
I definately not. Close up works better for me the autofocus does take a little patience but is worth it after its taken. It blows the g2x cam out of the water that's for sure!!

dude get a can of compressed air & clean out your PC. it'll thank you for the cleaning
I've got a similar problem, it appeared like 2 weeks ago, I cannot focus up close objects I've tried everything, it's as if the focus is stuck on something and never changes no matter what I do. I have changed the mode (close up or macro) different light and so on .. but I can never get a focus It doesn't even attempt to focus. It used to work before when I played around with the setting if I would switch on/off some of the things the camera would magically "wake up" and start focusing, any Idea ?
It's one of the things that HTC broke in the 2.3.4 update. Macro mode worked great before that (i used to use it for bulk barcode scanning, but that is impossible now).

Mine is same thing I saw a thread before suggested to put a post-it note between the phone and back case. It helps a little, but it's not a permanent solution.

I honestly think its a combinstion of the way it opens and the heat warping the case

It's because it's a case full stop - things always get loose after a while. Not a lot you can do about it tbh. Doesn't bother me
Can this issue be fixed?
I had it since I bought the phone.

take the back cover and sqeeze it in a little on both sides top and bottom not to hard though
That's what happen when you open and close the back cover too much. The back cover is made for one purpose only. To insert your sim card, SD card and battery. Once its insert, it should stay insert and no need to access the back cover anymore, unless if really required such as your phone hang which need to take out the battery. Others than that, you should not open the back cover. If you continue too much open and close the cover, of cause eventually, wear and tear will happen!! >.<

You can always contact HTC and explain what is happening and request that they send you a new back cover. many people on here (including myself ) have done this..
I did the post it note thing and that worked for me. 1 tiny piece was all it took. Lower right corner.

Just call HTC and tell them the problem they will send u a replacement back cover for free but u need to return the defective one or else they will charge u for the cost of the back cover. It also happen to my phone and I did call them and they sent me a replacement back cover now I don't have that creaking noise or whatsoever. I've been using it for a month now. Try calling and take advantage of ur warranty instead of doing a quick fix that someday the problem will come back.

I have the same problem.
From what I've heard:
-It will eventually stop after a while.
-Some cases can prevent this from happening.
-A Larger battery can help this from happening.
Mine comes and goes but its not doing it as of right now so im good for now if it happens again ill either try the post it or the little bit of bending its not a big deal
Hi friends pretty much looking for advice. I dropped my HTC one s and the screen had colors leaking everywhere. I had a case on and screen protector. Anyway T-Mobile sent me a replacement in the mail. I went to the store the representative activated my new SIM card. Turned the phone on and started having signal issues. The signal randomly drops and stays off both cell signal and data. It takes a long time for it to start back up. I turn on airplane mode and when I do this temporary the signal comes back then airplane displays and cuts it off. Then I turn off airplane and the signal comes back. Have to keep doing these steps. I installed a custom ROM flashed a different radio and still the same issues. So does this maybe sound like a hardware issue ? I'm going to give T-Mobile a call tomorrow would really suck having to send this phone in and wait for another but that's looking like what I'm going to have to do.

Try removing the bottom cover, making sure the antenna contact is clean and maybe bending the prongs up a little bit. Worked for some folks.

Yup...do some searching. Might want to invest in a pry tool. There's a guy around here who just replaced his whole body due to scratches and I'm fairly sure you need to remove the bottom cover to access the screws.
EDIT: PM this guy and maybe he can point you to a guide

You know T-Mobile sevice really pisses me off sometimes... I called they told me they're going to send another phone to see which ever works better.. going to take another week and a half to come while I'm stuck with this phone. I'm pretty upset. So I'll flash back the T-Mobile ROM and send it back. Do you think I'll have issues since they're going to see the boot loader relocked

This worked for me the first time I used my new phone 3 months ago. I couldn't find any wlan signal (i was near the router) too! I carefully pushed the prongs up and it worked
So I got the bottom open. The first time I adjusted the prongs I got a much more consistant connection but really really slow speeds. I'll post a picture. Then I went in a second time I adjusted the prong more but s small gold piece from under looks like it broke off. I still get signal I'll report back on speed.

The speed has improved its a lot.though it doesn't look like I'm getting hspa+ speeds. My connection dropped once since the last time I popped it open. T-Mobile is sending another phone out for me this one def has some sort of hardware issue. Thank you guys so much for the tips at least now I have a pretty decent connection and at least consistant. I really hope though that It's okay with me sending them a relocked bootloader.

I keep getting a message about duo camera lenses being blocked. Does not happen in portrait mood but always in landscape mode it happens while I hold the phone by the very edges. I am inside my house could it be that there is not enough light?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Could there be dust or a fingerprint on one/both of the lenses?
Also if you're using a case, make sure that it isn't covering either lens as well.
No case and I don't see anything on the lens. I guess it's just mine. Contacted HTC and they said it's an app interfering with the camera because when they had me boot the phone into safe mode, the problem does not occur. I don't have anything downloaded that's camera related.

By any chance does that happen when you block the sensor next to the front camera?
Idk why would that matter taking a picture with the rear camera?

The issue has not been happening lately. I didn't change anything. Anyway I didn't really buy the phone for the camera.

If anyone can figure out what app may be interfering, I'd be curious to know as I'm getting this error also. I also don't have any camera apps.
I can cause the message to pop up in auto mode by getting the lens close enough to something where the top lens doesn't see the same thing as the main lens but I'm guessing you weren't very close to anything since you were in landscape mode.

This. I've noticed myself when taking a picture and something is closer to the left side in landscape mode.
The whole reason behind this camera structure is for depth. That is why 1 lens is slightly recessed to the other. Its provides better distinction making it similar to the human eye. Yes, one eye is slightly recessed to the other, allowing this to occur. We are smarter and faster at processing that information better than the phone can, so essentially, if something appears closer to the left lens, it will error out.
Fix, cover both lenses, move camera, uncover.

Duo Camera Blocked
I am also having this issue. My original M8 camera worked fine but I swapped it due to an unrelated issue. Now, whenever I load the camera app, it says "Duo Camera Blocked". Obviously there is nothing in the way and I have no third party camera apps installed. In fact I have the exact same setup as the previous phone which didn't have an issue.
I'm starting to think that this is a hardware issue and will need replacing. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
duo camera is blocked
First sorry for my bad english,
I got the same problem..When i open my camera app it says '' Duo camera is blocked blabalblaa '' even i ddnt cover the duo camera with my fingers..I sent it to Technical service to change with new one and im still waiting the results from service..And i think this problem will be a chronical problem like what happen to m7 ( pink camera ) last year..
This duo camera's on HTC One M8 GPe, right?

Yes my friend
Anyone help it ?
I just got my M8 today, played with it for a couple of hours before unlocking the bootloader. Restored titanium backup after unlocking, everything was fine until I opened the camera. I also keep getting the "duo camera blocked" warning, I tried taking pictures for an hour straight but the warning persists and I can't use U-focus or any other duo feature on every picture I take.
I'm on stock ROM and recovery and unrooted. Tried to restoring factory settings, no success. Just updated to the newest firmware (1.54.401.10) via OTA but still no working duo camera.
Should I sent it back for repairs (with relocked bootloader) or has someone found a solution for this problem?
Hey I started the thread, but I can not explain how my issue as just gone away. But I think I stated I don't use the camera that much but have recently been using it without issue. Strange. When in doubt I would just exchange if that's an option for you.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know this is probably very obvious, but make sure your finger isn't covering the Duo camera at all. I've had that message a couple times and it was due to my finger blocking it. You won't see it on the screen.
I'm definitely not blocking the second camera. I tried taking pictures in portrait and landscape, inside and outside, with every possible grip, there is no dirt or dust on the lenses, it just doesn't work..
I just got on the phone with customer support, they advised me to sent it back for repairs.
After calling I just noticed something that might explain what's wrong with my phone. If I look very closely at the second camera lens, it seems like it's tilted sideways a couple degrees. I attached a photo taken through a mirror (I don't have another camera at the moment). Can someone confirm that it's not supposed to be this way?
Its hard to tell in the pic, but to me it looks like the Duo is aimed slightly up. Try taking the pic a bit farther back from the mirror and without the case. Also I've found it's very sensitive to fingerprints causing slightly blurry photos, and you have one on the main lens. See if you can get a slightly clearer one.
Here's a better picture, taken with another camera. I drew a red square to show how the lens appears to be tilted.
I'm sending the phone back for repairs tomorrow, I hope they don't make a big deal of the bootloader being re-locked.

There's a YouTube video available for that but it's going to require you to heat up the back in order to get the glue to loosen up so you can remove it.

Did you make sure the glass was clear before putting it in? If it is then I think the camera itself got messed up. Or try removing the glass again and see if it's blurry without it too because then you'll really know if the camera is messed up.

It seems like it's clearing itself up. Strangely. As if it needed to refocus or something. Not as blurry now. I'll see how it is in the morning.
