Umm...with details like that, one could guess anything. Maybe your settings are wrong...maybe dust....maybe anything. Tell us your settings, lighting situation, etc.
Thanks.

did u try to take pics with the half press?
The above advice about setting to half press is good. Also remember that the camera has auto focus so the picture is not taken for a second or two AFTER the button is pressed. So keep it steady for a while after taking the picture.
Also the lens cover on the back of the case needs to be spotless. and also clean the lens cover inside the casing near the top of the battery. Cleaning these makes a big difference. Some folk have actually removed the casing filter, but I'm not suggesting you go that far.

I already removed the casing filter....
What do you mean by half press....?

The camera button is a two position switch. Some folk find that if you have it set to full press for taking photos the finger press has to be so hard (or deep) that the camera moves just as you are taking the pic.
To change this so you only need a gentle press half way down:
Enter the camera menue. Tap on the spanner/wrench symbol and choose half press in the Shoot Option menu.
It might be an idea if you posted a pic here so we can see just what quality you are getting.

Atached,,,90 % of my pics are like this,
I know that this might sound like a stupid question but did you take off the sticker on the inside of the back battery cover. I know I was taking blurry pictures for a couple of hours and finally noticied there was a tiny sticker on the inside of the battery cover. Just a suggestion.
Adrian
I already removed the casing filter.....
Well, that is badly out of focus! So assuming the lenses are clean and no stickers are in place etc then I would take a picture with the camera sitting on a firm surface. Just to rule out the possibility that it's caused by camera movement. If the pictures are still blurred then I would load up the nadavi camera version. If things remain the same then it is most likely a hardware problem. (As it stands there could be a theoretical software issue with the camera using an excessively long exposure time - something it does a bit anyway, but not as bad as to give the effect you have.)
Mike
It looks like its movement plus it appears that the picture was taken inside and is using the auto lighting.... that can easily slow up the camera.
If you want to add to any of these lists, reply with your suggestion.
Handy cool random features:
- If you flip over the TD when someone is calling, it mutes itself (but does not reject the call).
- The stylus is held in magnetically (it gets sucked into its slot if you start putting it in).
- When you take out the stylus during a phone call, it starts up the note application.
- When you take out the stylus while the device is off, it turns the device on.
The buttons below the screen are real buttons and touch sensitive. This is capacitive Touch sensitivity, so it can sense the proximity of skin and, for example, focus the camera in preperation for the taking of a photograph.
- The circular thing on the front has fancy LEDs that flash in different patterns when different things happen (e.g. new message).
- The charger itself is a USB socket, and a mirror black finish, once plugged in a small HTC logo glows white to indicate it is on.
- The video recording at VGA is smooth, and clear outdoors with the autofocus working really well. It records in MPEG4 and H.263 with a 2 second, 10 second or unlimited record time.
- The Camera can turn business cards into a contact.
- The backlight also auto adjusts with the light sensor located in the earpiece.
- The case is lined with a microfibre-style material that will clean both sides of the handset whenever it’s put in and taken out.
- There is toughened glass between the touch surface and the LCD screen, meaning it's pretty hard to break.
Contents of the box
- HTC Touch Diamond (with stylus).
- Diamond-style power adapter.
- Diamond-style Headphones (with fluffy bits, and a builti-in microphone and FM antenna).
- Diamond-style USB cable.
- Screen protector.
- Spare stylus.
- Getting started CD.
- Application CD.
- HTC Care leaflet.
- Quick start guide booklet.
- Accessories booklet.
- Another random booklet.
- Warranty card.
dont understand first feature..
if the phone is ringing on yoru desk for instance and you turn it over, it will stop the ringing but not ignore the call. So based on your microfibre comment we can assume this comes with a case? Good post by the way.
the unboxing of a release device, not pre production, on slashgear shows no microfibre case.
mark please edit your post to be factual. [it says about the case in random features, but not in whats in the box]
or make this wiki, it seems more suited to wiki if the diamond has a wiki yet

Like you said, the case doesn't appear to be in the box. However, it's still a random handy Touch-Diamond-related-feature.
I see you have not got in there that the stylus is held in magnetically, and that it gets sucked into the slot automatically when placed inside.
Surur
Indeed, I have not. I shall add it.
I'm always slightly wary of magnetic styli though...
Plays music and does the "BUMP"
I was wondering if there was any sort of camera driver for download yet, ive been looking all over the site and have yet to find one, and ive looked throughout the internet for one, but Im finding old websites not updated since january....pleeease anybody?
Is this what you are looking for?

that version is still slow videorendering...
Thanks, it seemed to help out alot in brighter areas but the dark places are still slow... its no problem to me ill just use a dig camera if I need a dark pic... thank you =D
A trick I picked up here with the "new" driver was to turn the camera on. After it comes up, press the power button to put the phone in "sleep" mode. Hold your hand over the camera lens, wake up the phone with the power button, wait 5 seconds and see if the frame rate is a little faster. Goofy trick, but it seems to work.

i found this trick a long while ago. it does seem to work but i dont think it has anything to do with the htc-ca or omnia drivers so even if you dont have them installed, it will work.
I'm using the Laurentius26 V10 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416278 ) cooked ROM with the HTCA drivers ( see http://www.htcclassaction.org ) and the camera is performing extremely well. There is no evidence of any lag when there is sufficient light available, it seems to still take a performance hit when it has to compensate.
Rob
ps. that trick that p51d007 suggested is completely bizarre! Even the lag with close up or darkness goes away.
i am using the hyperdragon iiir lite rom with the (recomended) radio 1.65.24.36
and the omnia 3d driver installed in it
and video acceleration is perfect!!
a small improovement i have see also in camera
From my point of view... the camera gets SLOW whenever it has to increase exposure to compensate for the dark areas. The power button somehow fixes te exposure... or disables it.
Point is.. although being 3.0 MP...camera quality is nothing like a 3.0 real photographic camera. So... my question is...
Would picture quality get that worse... if the camera would always shoot with a fixed (lets say 1.0) exposure... and then increase the brightness of the picture via software ?
And to be REALLY bold... and please realize that i'm sugesting with virtually or really NO KNOWLEDGE ... 3D graphics can have its gamma controled... at least in a normal computer... how about showing the camera image on a D3D or OGLES texture... and increasing it "exposure" via gamma control ?
(Am i nuts?)
Yeah that trick works, but the picture is darker and a lot grainier. Also if you point the camera to a bright light source, it "resets" and then when you point at dark areas again, it lags. That trick seems to "initalize" the camera to a dark setting, for lack of a better phrase.

Damn, you're right, it resets when you point it at a bright source...I was all excited for a minute, too...
I wonder if there is a way to make the camera behave that way all the time? I snapped a picture with the trick active and it came out pretty good.
Howdy...
I love this watch (had it 2 days now)... but many reviews I've read say 'reading even in direct sunlight'...
So, I have the screen cranked to full brightness, and I find it hard to read in the sunlight, even with no sunglasses on... The 'ambient' screen is barely visible, and the fully activated screen is not much better...
Am I doing something wrong here? Why are reviewers saying 'perfect in bright sulight' and I can barely read it...?
Thanks!
Best,
Ben
Well it has been overcast here last few days so cant really comment too much.. but the couple of times the sun was out it did wash out and made the display a little bit hard to see... my brightness was set to 4. There is a "brightness boost" in the pull down menu .. have you tried that?
You can download apps for brightness boosting but I doubt it would help
You know, I haven't tried the brightness boost, mostly because it seems like too much work to get to it if I just want to glance at the watch to know the time and such...
Best,
Ben
Yes exactly, the boost is too much effort for its intended purpose when you can simply cup your other hand over the watch in a fraction of the time but I would go further, the feature has a ball dropping feel to me. Shouldn't someone have figured out that having the solution to not being able to see the screen be nested multiple screens into the on screen menu system of the screen you cant see as being a bad idea? I would like to see the boost attached to something like a triple tap. As to it working in bright sunlight flawlessly I would say no but I've not had any device that ever did and wasn't expecting it to be visible in the brightest sunlight. I would say it can be seen in most sunlit situations in "on" configuraton and that compared to similar devices it is relatively good.

Ah, thanks. It never occured to me to try multiple actions on the crown.
These shortcuts first appeared with the Android Wear update in December.
Before that long pressing the button would take you to the settings (this keeps working)

holy crap I never knew there were shortcuts with pressing the crown!
Thank you!!
I felt that some up closer objects made my head hurt, so out of curiosity, I closed my left eye then my right eye. I expected them to line up on the horizontal axis, but they were offset vertically by a significant amount.. many times it was 45 degrees and closer to vertical.
Keep in mind you have to make sure your head is absolutely level, and if there is anything in the background that isn't exactly aligned, your brain will be comparing the foreground object to that. You can try this out in real life.
From some tests in the home screen it felt offset, but I'm going to take a break from the gearvr and try it again. Again you have to make sure your head is aligned with the home screen orientation (e.g. hold back and select reorient, then try this test without tilting your head anyway except up/down).
edit: after some more testing, it seems like sometimes it is calibrated well, if I take the phone out and re-insert it, the stereo alignment is a lot better. But it took several times of re-inserting to get a good one. 3/5 times it's bad for me.
Also, does anyone else's not say charger connected anymore when connecting it?
