Ok so I decided to try out the macro of the camera but...
It's so hard and annoying to keep a focused while the camera keep refocusing every single second!!
Why can't we just MANUAL focus?
I hope there is an app for this or anything.
Is there?
I think the ones that don't make phone calls still do that

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).

Has anybody every tried to port the htc sensaton camera I'm asking because I like the fact that it takes a instant picture meaning as soon as you touch the capture button there is no delay as with the LG camera

Not sure about porting the sensation camera but try turning off the Auto Review in the LG camera settings. It GREATLY speeds up your photo taking.
Thanks for the tip, phburks, but where is that setting? I'm not finding it (guess I need more coffee).
If this has its in thread please delete it i just can't find it via the mobile app. I'm noticing that this phone has a hard time focusing the camera. I've turned off face detection but I still find the picture taken is usually out if focus compared to what's on screen.
Any setting fixes or is it my phone or do we wait for a fix or is it just me?

Is smile detection still enabled? If so, disable that feature too.
With face detection off it automatically disables smile detection.

Smart stay app from the GS3 is very interesting and something that we need for our beloved G Note.
Many apps from GS3 have been ported to Note like the Svoice but I have not seen any single thread where there is a mention of the Smart Stay.
Are developers working on porting the Smart Stay to Note ??
Please this is something that will surely improve our experience with the Note
I am sorry but what its all about
i thing GNote have not sensor .
I bet it makes use of the front camera, so no special sensor is required.
@deadlyheart4u it's a feature that will prevent the screen from turn off (sleep) if the system detects your eyes are busy reading something on screen. Clever huh?

It's using front camera, after timeout settings time is reached, you will see a short "blink" of the screen, and the camera sensor takes over "timeout" function.
check Engadget's review of the phone (the video).
I tried the phone myself and it is not using the frontcamera, since this would use too much battery. They have placed 2 sensors next to the camera that are using low power/battery compared to the camera.

It can't be the sensors, as those 2 are proximity sensor and light sensor.
Even on the release they said it used the camera.
it is indeed the front camera that checks ur eyes...
as i saw..it works from browser...maybe the browser has this feature?
It does use the front camera. It works in a similar way to face unlock.

Front Camera + Blink Detection !!
So now that we have how it works is someone working on porting this application to our note.

Well i am expecting smart call also, that is only gesture based, If the msg client is open and you turn you're phone straight means phone should make call.....hoping a quick apk
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
+1 on that
I would love smart stay on note as well
Yes... Smart stay and smart call.are both great features to have on more.

Common developers, I am sure you guys with your great knowledge will be easily ble to crack it.
Another one i miss is the pick up the phone to your ear to answer a call without touchng the screen
I was quite impressed when I saw / read about this feature. I like to read while on the go (one of the reasons why I got the might Note) and having to switch on the screen every now and then just annoys me. Hopefully somebody will be able to port it or create a replica
I don't know why but people were fast to port the tw but no one seems instated in porting the most useful feature to note.

Why port a small feature when you can just port the whole rom? Still, it doesn't seem like anyone is willing to start porting it.
I've tried many different roms....custom,stock ... everything. When i`m touching the screen camera seems to focus but after the image becomes sharp, the blur is back.
It's possible to be a hardware problem ?
Yes, it could be.
Try cleaning the lent.
If you touch the screen when taking a picture, does the phone try to focus?
How do you see the screen when takin the picture? Is it focus

Once in a while that happens to me. What I do is exit out of the camera then reopen it again and everything works fine

yes it`s trying to focus .....but for a very very little time ...and then it`s back to unfocused
I don't remember exact settings, but can you uncheck auto focus, face detect, etc in settings and then try? I've done that in my settings so I have better control of what the camera focuses on.
