As you all probably know, when taking a picture with this phone the camera takes about five seconds to actually take the picture after pressing the button. I did a search and read that I could go into the registry and change a couple things, which I did. However, that did not change the capture time. Does anyone know a fix?
its not neccessary to edit the registry, just search around the options
menue->advanced settings
should be the first entry
greets
Thanks but the first entry is the review time after the picture is taken, used to see what the picture looks like. Not what I was looking to change.
Same problem here, 5 seconds of lag, it makes the sound and the people move thinkink that the picture had been taken but oohh surprise .... so I always get a ghost picture LOL
Same here .... Is totally imposible to take a photo ghost-free
can we use another app to take picture? I know that coolcamera works beautifully with my HTC prophet. Does coolcamera work with touch diamond? Anyone tried? Or any better apps for the camera? HTC camera never respond quickly no matter in what devices. I guess we need to replace the HTC camera with something else.
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 I think I have a working camera here...

I know where click sounds and review time are. But How do i get to capture delay, key delay, ect. I know you said use advanced configuration tool. Does that come on the phone? If so how do i get to it? Or is it only on the diamond. Im new to xda and I dont see a thread for the HTC Touch Pro. Which is the phone im using. So I assume anything in the HTC Diamond threads would work with my phone.
Oh I think i just came across it by mistake while reading through threads
is this what you were talking about that i need to have.

The Touch pro is the Raphael. Here's an article on Advanced Configuration: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=203
You should check out the tips/tricks at fuzemobility.com as well. The Fuze is a variant of the Touch pro and they're identical except for a few things like a push to talk button...

Download Regedit for HTC or whatever register editor and go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/ there you can edit and modify the timer, with all these tricks the camera is working a little bit better, but Im still getting ghost pictures... I give up with this phone ........
to tek: i had the wrong advanced config. the latest one does have all the camera things. and it works. the lag is only probably about a second and a half know.

Hey there
I have learned that the HTC Dialer is pretty slow compared with the standard WM dialer. It will not only speed the phone up by disabling it, but also free up around 10 mb of ram! However, i like the dialers visuals, and the feature that i can flip the phone if i want to mute a call, which is disabled to if i disable the skin.
I saw the other day in some thread that by converting images from png to jpeg you could spare some ram and space, but can't remember if it was the dailer the topic where about nor where i found this topic.
So my question is. Is it possible to boost the performance of the HTC Dialer ? I do not care if it should take up 10 megs of my ram, all i wan't it to is to get quicker and more responsive, like the traditional wm default dialer, as i want the layout and the "flip to mute" functionality..
Is this possible in some way?
~D

Havent tried it myself... but if It has all the fetures that HTC Dialer has I might give it a try..
Yup!
I'm using that manila VGA dialer, and it doesn't use more than 5.5MBs!! Thats pretty sweet.
And personally, I feel it looks better, with the black/white combination.
One thing to note though.. It takes like 0.8secs to launch the dialer from the moment you press the call button.. BUT, when it launches, it refreshes up your screen instantly!
Compared to the original diamond one, which may get activated quick, but takes a little more time to draw up to the screen.
Overall, it's a keeper for me. Try and.. if ya don't like, you can uninstall.
Cheers.
i found in the new advanced config 3, you can set the dialer hang up time from the default 3 seconds down to pretty much instant. i dont understand why in the world the default time from pushing hangup to actually ending the call would be 3 seconds. but im also a retard.

I've installed this one ... I like it very much...the 0.8 sec problem is ok for me... but I have another problem... when somebody's calling me ( I have the option to Vibrate and Ring) , after I press Talk ( Answer ) the phone vibrates for about 2 seconds.... very annoying... any ideas?
Go into the phone app and then menu -> options -> advanced and uncheck 'Vibrate device when connection is established'

That is when youre making a call.
But what vibecatalin is saying is when youre picking up the phone, as it when it is vibrating/ringing. When you pick up, the vibrating doesnt cut off instantly.
Yea.. I got that too.. but somehow bearing with it.. heh.
But that sounds like 'vibrate on connect' to me

No, not that vibration... .... the person who speaks with me can hear too that my phone vibrates for about 2-3 seconds... very annoying ... so I had to unistall the dialer ...
Hey, I was having some trouble with my TyTN's camera where taking a picture is really really delayed, it was taking a picture literally two or three seconds after I pressed the button.
Now, I inquired about this and someone told me KaiserTweak has an option under Camera to set the camera delay, but in the newest version of the KaiserTweak this option has been removed.
It seems like it would really help and I think I just need the old .cab version but I can't find any older versions of the tool.
Does anyone know why it was removed and/or where I can find an older version?
Cheers.

It was the version from june which had this option, i'm not aware of a newer version than that.
Also, is there a reason you didn't post this in the kaisertweaks thread?
sounds like you got the camera set to full press. you'll need change to half press and maybe turn the shutter sound off. you do this in the settings that are available while the camera is use uses

Thanks, I did this but still it gives a 2 or 3 second delay where if I move my phone the slightest it will capture a blurry image..
The shutter speed is soo damn slow, this has to be the worst camera tool I've ever used on a phone..
Is there no way to reduce the massive delay?
thanks again.

KaiserTweak's Capture Delay setting works for me on every ROM that I run. If you set the camera app to Half Press, and the delay to 0 seconds, but it's still not working, then it sounds like you've got some registry corruption going on there.

The thing is I have no option to set the delay to 0, which is what I need.. The current version of KaiserTweak does not have this feature so I need an older version if anyone has a copy??

KaiserTweak was originally written by Chainfire, but updated XML files are put out by Nikagl. Check out his thread here.
Anybody know if there is a cab or reg tweak I can apply to disable zooming in messaging when I hit the scroll wheel? I keep doing it by accident and it's really getting on my nerves.
Thanks!
Edit: Solved, see post #12 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4594396&postcount=12
I have this problem as well...really sucks.
Someone help? lol
haha, yah same here.
it gets annoying after a while...
I too would like a cab for that.
yeah i'm game for a solution...
maybe a quick reg hack or something. sometimes it goes haywire and i can't fix it unless i soft-reset.
omg this is driving me crazy!
is there a known fix for this f** functionality??
in for 1 too
i honestly don't see how this hasn't been addressed before?
I'm not sure if there is a better solution yet, but for now I have simply disabled SmartTouch entirely.
Grab a copy of FdcSoft TaskMgr, go to the Services tab and find the SmartTouch(SMT0) entry. Tap and hold, select Stop, then Set Manual, then Disable.
I don't use the scroll or zoom functionality for anything at all so this works for me. I found this info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462662
i dont think you would want to kill smarttouch all together. maybe just find and delete the registry entry for text messages. i think it is hklm\sofware\htc\smarttouch\outlook email. i dunno if thats really it but who knows.

No, from what I can tell, it doesn't. I'm not going to test though because I finally did find a good solution.
After digging around the registry for a couple hours to no avail, I decided to start playing with programs that use SmartTouch. Lucky me I found one that disables zooming in SMS, is customizable, and doesn't mess up any other zooming functionality (ie: Opera). Yay!
My thanks to demosten for creating SensorScroll which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466377
Just install and soft reset. I had to play around with turning the service on/off (can be done from the start menu shortcut) and testing the zoom in SMS until I had the right size and zoom was disabled.
Hope this works for you!
The Kaiser was able to crop photos and rotate them around, and I cant for the life of me stand to believe that this phone isnt capable without spb mobile shell. It wouldnt be so bad if the camera didnt store the photos upside down and sideways , no matter which way you hold the phone.
I have G sensor disabled for camera in G-config and can hold camera straight up and down and the pic store upside down one shot, and right side up the next. same problem if held horizontally. and take a pic. its becoming quite aggrivating lol. If I have missed something somewhere please flame me in the right dir .Thanks
I was a bit disappointed I couldn't find a decent app for this. As far as I know, cropping is limited to looking at a picture in Album, zooming to whaty you want then hitting menu and save screen, which will save what you see on your screen. Haven't seen any rotation or anything of the like anywhere. Perhaps whatever app you used before could be found or packaged as a cab and someone could provide that?

you can rotate and crop with the regular pictures and videos app
The tool you want to use for editing your photos is \Windows\pimg.exe (even most "cooks" don't remove this...I think it's the system's image rendering tool).
if you're like me and you really hate the reduced functionality of the Album app, just edit the file associations with Schap's Advanced Config, so they all open pimg instead of album.

Hi Guys
From where i can mute /disable the camera shutter sound, its so loud, i want to disable it.
My 2nd question is, whenever i take the picture from Xperia, the camera is so slow in all the means, why is that so? Either i start the camera, it nearly take half minute to get ready, If i take the snap after pressing the camera button, the snap is caputred after around 10-15 second, so for the meantime i have to keep the camera in still positon, otherwise if i move it i get the blurr kind of image.
And in the end if i fortunatley able to get some clear picture, closing the camera or to take another pic, i still have to wait for for 20 seconds.
Is there some software/ patch which can remove these problems? or i will appreciate the guidance of experts.
I am using Xperia( Made in Taiwan), with latest ROM version from Sony Ericsson.
Thanks
Jade
in your camera settings
shutter sound click "snd.1" and change it to off
your camera settings also include various other settings you can change
to make the camera more like you want it
like many people get confused by the while click on screen where you want to have it focus
turning that off would prob help you
maybe all autofocus if you want it to take pictures fast
Rudegar,
Thanks alot the 2nd problem seems to be exactly what you pointed out. I never knew that before ,
But for the first question i asked about that Camera Picture Capture Sound, i am able to found the option for it, but i cannot found the option to mute it, infact i found 4 sounds option over there, and there was no option for "No Sound" or Mute , neither browse option to select any other sound file.
THanks
You can always make an "empty" sound file and replace the default one for the shutter. It is somewhere in the Windows folder IIRC.

Everytime i press the camera button to click a photo, the screen turns up blank(dark grey).
I have to do a soft reset everytime i have to snap a pic or take a vid. It stays good for sometime, and iam not sure when the bug steps in.
Is this a know issue, any solution to this please?...

The only way I've found is to turn the sound off on the phone, before activating the camera.

I am facing the same problem, but it never worked again.
I installed some ROMS such as UnOff and Touch-it. Up to this moment the camera was 100% OK. After that, I installed the original Brazilian Portuguese software and the camera stopped working...
What do I do? DOes anyone had such a problem? How to solve it?
