Anyone know of a tweak for this? On my sprint TP it is automatically turned off if I take picture while on a phone call, so there must be an option somewhere to turn it off for good.
i would really like to know this as well

Strange that it gets turned off during a phone call. Can anyone else confirm this?
yeah i tried it during a call and it does get turned off during a call.
i want to turn it off because the autofocus takes so long. especially when i need to snap those quick pictures...
Same here, no autofocus during a phone call... I'm using original ROM.
I'm very interested too in a solution for that strange behavior.
I would like to know how to turn it off as well because it takes too long to snap the shot! Would be great if there was an option to turn it on or off!
May no be EXACTLY what you're looking for, but go in to camera->settings->advanced and on page 3, there's a Shoot Option. Change this to Full Press, and no more AF.

I have it at Full Press, but that still is auto focus. As soon as you hit it, you will see the camera try to focus on what ever you're trying to shoot before it actually takes the photo.
I too am curious as to how to turn it off.
there's gotta be like a registry tweak????? someone? anyone? haha

Even i m in dire need of this tweak........sometimes its impossible to get a good snap, bcos of the delay caused by auto focus.......
i was using UIQ 3 phone earlier, where a half press would lock the focus and full press will immediately click snap without a delay.....
can someone make sum tweal on similar lines
please someone. haha
BUMP.......
Turning off Auto Focus
Anyone help !!!!!!!!!

This is very odd. I guess that even HTC knew that the camera program was either not optimized or demanded to much resource so they cut off the autofocus mid call.
From my own experience, its really hard trying to figure out the system calls coming form the dialer, i dont think this is going to be an easy fix.
Bump!

it would be nice if someone could do this? i would donate happily )
also id really like a auto lfash - which i think is in development
but this is a good idea as i agree it takes so long to focus that you hardly ever get a good shot
I'm interested in this. Have missed many pics due to the focus being so slow!
why does nobody want to reply to thread with an answer? strange seeing as there is so much demand
I use AutoFocus and have no delay in taking a picture.
If you have a delay in taking a photo just change the settings using the Advanced Configuration Tool. Under the camera options, capture delay should be disabled, key delay disabled and capture key delay set to zero.
Also, try this:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/
and set
CaptureTimer = 0 (old=5000)
Two more things to do - go into the camera advanced settings (in the camera itself) and turn off the click sounds and set the review time to no limit. With those changes above I think I have a working camera here...
While we're at it, if your photos are yellow change the white balance settings: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=951
When i switch to panorama on my phone and attempt to take a photo it says, "Camera: Unable to capture photo. Disk full." I'm using 3GB of my 8GB card, so I know there is room on my card. I also tried saving it to main memory with no luck. I also tried switching it to the lowest quality and resolution, all with the same results. Any help would be appreciated.
:Bump: ANyone know of a possible solution>?
Got panorama to take pics, but can't stitch. No ghost image comes up. It just allows me to take 3 pictures, or however many i have the stitch counter set to. Does anyone know which P# folder in the registry and which settings enable the ghost image to enable stitching???
Thanks in advance.
I just noticed that I have this same problem, I think its when I edited the P3 reg.
edit: I changed the settings back to normal and still cannot take panoramic pictures...
Ya i'm having this issue too. I'm not sure what I did to get to this point? I installed NATF v4, I did a radio thingy. I did some GPS tweaks.
Anyone do any of that recently? Maybe we can try to isolate the issue?
I also enabled the FPS counter in the camera, you guys have that enabled?

Yea I initially had that as well. I fixed it by going into the settings and adjusting the sound. Hope that helps at least.
Taking photos with the TD2 sucks a**.
options like brightness oder ISO dont change anything. all the pictures look the same.
but especially when its dark id like to increase exposure time. or how about taking quickshots with focus to infinity instead of waiting to infinity for the autofocus to adjust?
is there any application able to do that?
edit: just saw this thread. missed it on first search. sry.
but still nothing new?
Hi laureus,
I don't know the settings about ISO or changing other things but i have extra camera capture modes, and i attached the cab for you.
The limitations are more down to the hardware in my opinion, no app is going to make much better pictures. In good light, with low ISO, the TD2 actually takes decent pictures (in my opinion again), as good as you have a right to expect from a phone/PPC.

This isn't going to happen. You can't preset such a cheap lens/focussing mech to infinity, it just hasn't got the accuracy to go back to the same place every time. Autofocus every time is unfortunately essential for sharp pictures.
I know its not exactly what he asked about . BUT
qik freeeking rox on the htc pure .. ive used it since my blackjack and i love it . if ya need a video streaming to web app .
thanks for your answers.

yeah, im quite happy with pictures taken in normal light situations. it is just when you get to the evening hours some more exposure time would be nice.
even my old nokia n70 could do that. why not the much newer td2?
well, you cant have it all.
What I'd like to see in a camera app is something that lets me flip it over and use the volume buttons as a camera switch. Perhaps, using the left button (volume down) to autofocus, and the right button to actually shoot the picture.

this can be done with key remapper.
i mapped the "back button" to shoot a picture when the camera is active. if camera is not active it still works as a back button.
Can you tell me how did you do this???I did not understand how it works.
dark photos
I too have the same problem of dark photos,
are also the owner of a diamon and photos in dim light is much better than the diamon2,
where you could change the registry for this problem?

Hey, does anyone else find that the camera on the P9 takes a good 5 or so seconds from clicking the app to it actually displaying the image(this happens randomly but not always)? I find it stays black for a few seconds before it finally displays what the camera sees. Every other app is quick to open though ?

I get this. I wondered if it started when I set the default storage location to SD card.
But, as you say, sometimes it is very quick.

I disabled the "priority to sd" and will check if the problem fixed and report back .
btw do u have problem when recording video using snapchat the camera automatically zoomed in ? can you check this for me ?

Don't use Snapchat I'm afraid.
I have tested swapping the "priority to SD" flag but it is still inconsistent.
it seems that the problem fixed after disabled (priority to SD) and then take any picture. (so when open camera will load latest photo from internal storage not SD) .
I have this issue too. If the camera is still in the recent app cache it will open instantly. If I close it out and leave it about 5 minutes it can take at least 5 seconds before I can see the on screen image and take a photo...
I don't have the priority SD card switched on. I'm on the UK Vodafone SKU
Any ideas?
the problem is still exist after disabled the priority to sd . (it was ok for one day after disabled priority to sd but the problem back again yesterday) so it's not related to sd card . and it's really annoying when you want to take a picture you will miss it because of slow opening that happens randomly .
I tried the camera in safe mode and it seemed to work fine. Could be a third party app that is trying to launch at the same time.
I'll try investigate further.

ok . please keep us updated
So. Definitely looks to be a software issue. Either at the system level or third party apps. Most likely the latter.
I downloaded Open Camera and had the same inconsistent opening times. After I removed it from recents and opened a few other apps, Open Camera took around 3-5 seconds to be ready to take a shot.
Not sure which app is influencing it so much. So time to start disabling things and testing further. Joy.....
Hey hamud. What software version and SKU are you using?

it seems that not everyone has this problem ? what do you think?
How fast does camera open from locked phone if you use the power button and volume down button with to take a photo as soon as it opens?
It tells you speed on screen, maybe we can compare this too? I am getting 1.1 to 1.5 seconds.

you mean double tap the volume down while phone is locked ?
Sorry yes double tap, I always forget how to it and takes me longer than the actual camera to open and shoot.
I just came from Windows phones and am used to having dedicated camera button so am still adjusting.
The ultra snapshot took 1.7 seconds. But immediately after that the camera app was frozen for about 5 seconds before the screen showed live what the lens was seeing and let me take another shot. Really frustrating.
for me it took 1.0 , 1.7 and 2.4. I think the problem with huawei firmware. can you share your software version ?
EVAL09
C02B133
I tired removing well known resource heavy apps. Facebook, Twitter etc but no change. I removed AL3 as my launcher and went back to stock. Seemed to improve slightly but still get the 5-7 second freeze every now and again.
so it's not related to my model eval19 . so Huawei must know about this problem to solve it in new update . but I don't know how ?
Anyone else having issues with the Night Shot mode?
It seems inconsistent in that it will either crash or produce a terrible low light picture.
Seems the following occurs for me (MHA-L09 stock firmware):
- load the camera app up and enter Night Shot mode, crashes (see pic 1 of it "processing") - though can see it is processing the low light and the image looks good, but it fails to process the image and save (also had to use another phone to take pic of it as was unable to screenshot it
- try and get back to the app after closing (clearing from memory) and cannot enter it
- reboot, open camera, take a few normal pics and then use Night Shot mode. Successfully captures and processes but the resulting low light image is terrible - full of noise! (see pic 2)
- After trial and error it managed to take a decent pic (see pic 3)
Pretty dam disappointed with this brand new device performing like this...
Hopefully an update could solve this?
Running MHA-L09C432B138
Are you using an sd card?
Try clearing camera data from app settings.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have tried both clearing the app data and not saving to SD card - just tried that now and it saved (didn't crash on processing) but saved a low quality 'noisy' image.
It's strange though, as whilst processing the image on the display looks great - it's the finished product that lets it down!
In night mode did you changed the iso or auto?
That's weird shouldn't be bad,all you can do is a factory rest and try.
If it's still noisy something is faulty,need a replacement.

Will try that for sure. I don't believe it's hardware fault, must be software.

Why you didn't mention that u have unlocked bootloader and flashed ur phone with funky?
Anyway did you factory reset ur phone from settings menu?

Regrettably I missed out that detail! I think at the time of writing then I had restored back and so regarded that as 'stock', but I potentially suspect that restoring with Funky MAY be an aspect....
I am tempted to do a full system restore with HiSuite with pure stock (non-Funky) and test that out

As far as i know hisuite wont work for non Chinese phones.
Do a factory reset from settings,with stock recovery installed,it will do a low level format, could be ur internal storage is corrupted and this can help.

I have the same problem. I'm on stock (MHA-L29C432B138), SD-Card or internal storage, same result like in OP.
Edit:
I noticed something. When I take a picture and it shows "in progress" and wait until the lockscreen comes and relock the phone, the pic is taken. Sometimes the camera is still enabled, sometimes it's closed
I tried the same with my Mate 8 (NXT-L29C432B560) , it's the same result.
Looks like it is a Firmware (EMUI/Nougat) bug..
I have the same problem with night shot mode but after change the animation scale to 0.5 in developer option the problem solved. before that i set to off. sorry for my english.

are you using HDR mode?
if so disable it, HDR mode makes low light look bad.

Excellent suggestion. It also worked for me! I also changed the 3 animation settings (Window animation Scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale) and set the value at 0.5x and the camera is now fine.
Excellent, thank you so much!!
Thanks so much! I'm new here, signed in just so I could say thank you since this solved my camera problem. Anyone have opinions after owning the Mate 9 for a while? I just got it to replace my Nexus 6P with battery issues- not sure I love it yet.
I'm amazed how well smartphone cameras in general, work, given their size.
A typical 8mp sensor, should be able to print an A3 (11x17) image, but who prints anymore?
They keep placing more and more sensors in these things. More megapixels, typically is only
good for crop/zooming. Increasing the sensors can sometimes backfire because the signal to
noise ratio (crosstalk) increases due to the very small spacing between signal paths.
I wish they would just increase the SIZE of the sensor, put a real 5-10x optical zoom lens on the back
similar to the non phone Samsung Zoom a few years back. But with the trend still that phones have
to be "slim, sexy, colorful & stylish", don't see that happening.
