hello guys!
there's a thing that is annoying on razr hd camera... there's a green dot inside a green square... that sometimes get's white... when I touch somewher the screen it becomes the focus square... but when I move the cell it disapears and turn back into this square with the dot inside... and besides sometimes inside this square a lamp is showed...
anyone knows what the function of this thing and how to use it correctly? every time that I take a photo I'll have to click the screen to ajust the focus?
(to make things clear i took a screenshot of my camera and marked the square In question...)
thanks a lot!
I saw that too when playing with the Razr Maxx demo at the Verizon store... At first I assumed it had something to do with the camera not being in focus, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'd too like to know what that means...
By no means an expert here.
I believe when green, all the auto setting functions (Focus, Exposure, etc.) are satisfied & the camera is ready to shoot.
When not green, at least one of the auto functions are still adjusting the camera.

I found that there's a little LED at the earpiece of touch pro. Mine never flashes for wi-fi, bluetooth or miss call etc which my old polaris do. Is it a problem of my phone?
that is not a led, but the light sensor.
yes, that is the light sensor. the thing that flashes for messages etc is the dpad
Is that a light sensor? I found out that there is a light sensor alike thing beside the front speaker. What is that then?
btw, i am just guessing. Been looking at TP for few days. Still not yet if i should drop my samsung i780 to get this...
It is your front camera for video calls. if you have P9 (or P10, can't remember) enabled, it will show up as an option in your camera option menu, that means you can actually use it as a camera.
To Enable 'Video Share': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1

Does nobody ever read their manuals these days? Suprisingly its all explained on the first few pages, so you dont have to read it all. Manuals can also be found on the htc website - in case you have not purchased the phone yet.
On the back of the device, one "hole" is the camera, the second is a flash LED for taking pictures in low light conditions.

That that big rounded thing that i was referring to. I was referring to the squarish LED-like thing inside the same slot of the front speaker. It is on the left of the slot.
Anyhow, i just check the online manual, it seems like the bottom button is the reset button. I don not own any TP yet. Anyone can confirm?

Ummm, yes, the manual is always correct. It's not a button, but a little hole you press your stylus into to reset it. And yes, that photoresistor near the speaker is the light sensor, adjusts your backlight according to the amount of ambient light.

Sorry my bad
The light sensor is cool... it will brighten up should u be using the phone in the day with strong sunlight. Can be easily simulated by shining a torch at it and see the screen glow up and once u put the torch away, the lcd will dim itself...
in order for it to work u must go to the brightness setting and check auto adjust brightness.
I did several searches and have become numbed at the prospect of finding my actual problem here (though I cannot imagine I am the only one). Basically it is the camera, it is...sluggish, what I mean is it refreshes very poorly, and I cannot figure out how to set it to flash, ccording to the link below it has this ability. Anyhow, when I take pictures if the item/person do not stay absolutely still all I get is blur, and even if they do stay still if I breath I get the same results, anyone know how I can fix this?

Much Thanks :>)
Unfortunately, the camera in the Touch Pro is not very sensitive to light, so in low-light situations the exposure will be long, leading to blurry photos. The flash isn't very bright, so it doesn't help much except at pretty close range, but I can tell you how to turn it on.
When you are in the camera application, touch the screen and you will see a "gear" icon at the lower right of the screen. Touch it and the menu opens. The icon in the upper left of the menu that looks like a lightning bolt turns on and off the flash.
Just wanted to know if everyone is experiencing the same issues with their cameras.
1. When I open up camera, for a split second the initial photo image displayed is pinkish, then the white balance kicks in which normalises the image colours.
2. When taking photos in certain lighting conditions where theres a white background (such as a white sandy beach), I get a pinkish haze in the middle of the image.
**note** for (1) it must be the white balance, as it only does this when set to automatic. If I set it to a manual setting, its ok. Stupid phone lolz
I have never seen either of those issues...hmm...perhaps you have a bad camera sensor?
Never saw either issue on mine

Seems to only happen when I'm indoors under fluoro lights.
Yeah that happens to me, but I don't see it as much of an issue, because on the computer the images look fine.
Hey all,
When I first got my phone and was caught up in the bliss of downloading more camera (and other) apps than I would ever use, I found one camera app that allowed me to touch the screen of the phone, and whatever colour was in the position that I touched, that's the only colour that would be shown in the photo, everything else would be grey scaled. I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure pressing the screen actually took the photo, so there wasn't any 'real time' colour filtering.
I've tried going through the apps like FxCamera and Camera 360, but I can't seem to find that function in those..
Can anyone help? Does it make sense what I'm talking about?
Cheers
Denno
hello.
haven't been on this site for quite some time, but i am familiar with using custom roms.
i'm using an htc desire s with android 4.0.4, stock rom from htc site.
there are certain things i like about ICS, and other things that simply boggle me.
i've been considering using a custom rom again, but i was hoping someone could shed some light on specific features/functions.
in other words, i would be changing to a custom rom if one is available that has these features, otherwise i'll just leave it alone.
firstly: the camera.
when trying to take up-close photos (macro), the camera will attempt to focus, will succeed, then quickly snap back to being blurry. this happens less with "auto focus" turned off, but it's still frustrating (i can see the hardware moving the camera focus to where i want it, but i can't keep it there). turning on the Scene called "close up" will allow the hardware to stay in the focused range, where i want it, but it overrides the white balance, such that i can't adjust the white balance any more, and the colour is always -always- different from the colour settings in the "auto" Scene setting. very frustrating indeed.
that's problem one.
but the bigger problem (with the camera) is:
when taking a photo where a flash is required/desired (in low lighting), i have to take many -many- photos before i happen to roll the dice and get one in focus. basically, holding up the camera to the darkened scene, the screen is mostly dark. i can take a photo with the flash, but the camera uses the same moment of flash to implement the focus, which is essentially entirely useless. in other words: dark scene, dark screen, flash ready, click to take a photo, flashtrytofocustakepicture = blurry picture. the picture only turns out well if the focus happens to catch in just the right way at the right time.
in contrast, while the stock camera app behaves this way, when i use google goggles, the camera behaves differently. there is a simple button which turns the led light on and off BEFORE taking a picture, which means the focus can function normally on a fully lit scene and then a picture can be taken, in focus. funny thing about that: the photo result that shows as a preview (immediately after snapping a photo in google goggles) is the desired photo, however it is not the photo that the app recognises nor which is saved on the sd card. anyhow, that's a different issue.
the point is: it seems clear to me that the hardware is capable, and the software is capable, but they have not been married correctly in 4.0.4.
would anyone be able to confirm whether another rom or camera app has the macro and light-before-focus capabilities described above?
i have some other questions about the way text copy and paste is implimented, but i'll just stick with the camera question for now.
thanks in advance for any information.
