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.

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.

Since none of the initial specs and hands on reviews have mentioned it, I'm guessing that the G2x doesn't have the noise cancellation feature that the Nexus One does. But it'd be nice to get confirmation. So, does this phone have a noise cancellation feature?
I have it in my hands now and it doesn't have noise cancellation. Call quality is excellent though.

if you don't mind me asking how is the camera quality? Are the whites and colors pretty accurate?
thanks
They are pretty accurate but sometimes the colors look a little washed out. I'd give the camera a 7 out of 10. Its just as good most cell phones.
what about gps?
GPS is fine

I find it slow to lock and has a tendency to jump around on my unit. For instance .4 miles(I know itis exactly that) comes out 7.2 etc. This is in Cardio trainer. I also find that certain apps like GPS test plus do not function quite right. I have had one hang up in Cardio trainer already and I have only had the phone for 15 hours. Also while on the line with CS I had weird noises in the line while speaking with them and they even called me back with same result. Haves no idea what that is all aboiut.All in all though I do like the phone.
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.

best camera ever
When i wave my phone around my ear holding the bottom near the beats logo, i hear something shaking around. Initially I thought it was the camera lens, but I really don't know and I was wondering if any of you guys had this.
Yeah got it too... But its not a big deal

My Captivate has always had a slight ticking when changing orientation as well, it's probably common to handsets that need to detect motion or orientation.
It may also be something in the micro-sim enclosure as well. I don't know.
this has been discussed in the international forum with pretty good depth...
Mine has the same thing- just noticed it last night actually...but it is nothing to worry about...has to do with camera or sim slot.
others say they have volume rocker rattle, which may be a recall
its one of the sensors, probably the gyro... or maybe the vibrator motor. It's fine... ignore it.
edit,
its the camera.
I actually discussed the clicking issue with a guy at AT&T who was speaking live to the HTC rep on his computer (I was watching). The HTC rep said it was part of the locking mechanism for the micro-SIM slot. We thought at first it was related to the focus mechanism for the camera, but the HTC rep said it was not.
I'll bet it's the volume rocker - take a look at it, you can probably slide it up and down ever so slightly with your finger - that is causing a rattling on mine.
It's not the sim card locking mechanism or the volume rocker. Its the camera and its normal. My iphone 4s used to make the exact same sound from the camera. Its nothing to worry about.
Beamed from my Rogers HTC One XL
same issue
Not sure what it is, but I have it too. it's a clicking-like rattle when shaken, from near the camera area. i've removed the sim and tray, as well as securely held down the volume rocker, and it still makes the sound. i was initially concerned until i read all of the comments in the Int'l forums and also stopped into the ATT store at lunch today only to find out that both of the demo models they had out made the same sound. either it's not a big deal at all or every single one of the phones is screwed. i'm leaning towards the former. that said, it still doesn't seem like this should be happening. whatever, as long as the phone keeps delivering utterly ridiculous performance, i'm fine with it.
It's the autofocus module. Every phone (and tablet) has it, if you open the camera app and autofocus on something, you'll hear it make the same clicking noise. It needs to be somewhat loose inside the phone for it to focus properly, which means if you shake it around you'll be able to hear it.

I have it as well. It's definitely coming from the camera region. And it's definitely not the volume rocker.
I just bought my HOX today from a local ATT store. I've been playing with it all day including late into the night when everything was quiet around me, and noticed a slight rattling sound from the top of the phone. After doing some further research, it looks like the camera shutter, the power button, or the volume rocker are possible culprits. I'm tempted to say on my phone it is the camera shutter, based on the concentration of the rattling within the phone body.
Out of curiosity, how many ATT One X owners are experiencing this rattling?
Yes I have the rattling. If you look into the head set jack, you'll see these balls (lol. It what's why look like) they lock the headset in place. That's the rattle.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Pretty sure its normal, when i had the iphone 4 it was the camera making the noise and it was normal. Light sensor?
It's the auto-focus module, it's normal.
Everyone's should rattle, most HTC phones do it and even the iPhone 4S.
I received my phone today, and while I'm generally quite happy with it, there's one thing that really bugs me; the camera motor is really, really loud while the sensor is moving. Could I please ask anyone who has the phone to confirm whether it's supposed to sound like this?
I've shot a video from another phone to try and capture the sound it makes here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/2HVQRVtiQVjEGnBk6
I moved the module manually by pressing and holding the camera switch button and moving up and down, but it also makes quite a bit of noise when just pressing it as well.
It's also very noticeable when capturing a video from the device itself: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1cQmbBMFjHEtnNfy5
Like above I moved the sensor manually, but I suspect things like motion tracking won't work very well due to it capturing the audio of the motor.
Wow, thanks for letting us hear what it sounds like. Helps me as I start to collect various "issues" from other end users.

They sound like sound effects used for alien invasion type of movies .
Hmm hope by the time it is released on the US it doesnt have most of the issues happening
yeah i had been using it the past month and noticed the same. There is a Flip Camera sound feature in the options but didnt seem to make a difference on my end.

Faulty unit
So I spoke with Asus support, and according to them these noises are completely normal, so yeah, I don't know. Because of this I've now returned it to the shop I bought it from as this really was a deal-breaker for me.

Thanks for the link! That does sound far more acceptable. I had a look at a few video reviews before ordering it, and none of them mentioned anything about the noises my unit had - that's why I was curious if anyone else was experiencing the same thing. But it definitely sounds like my unit was faulty, and that it shouldn't sound nearly as bad as it did.
I bet ASUS never actually bothered to watch/listen to the videos I sent them and instead just said it's normal and hoped I wouldn't mind.

Hello, my flip camera also has weird sound (alien) when I adjust the position using volume keys. However, I think that this is normal due to the motorized mechanisms.
Edit: I looked at your video and my unit has the same sound.
Just bought a used ZF6, my camera motor has the same loud Noises as the OP in videos.
It's when they stop making sounds that you need to worry...
