How is the Camera, in particular the video recording and focus?
This was one of my top phones to watch and I hope it pans out. The focus issue mentioned in some reviews is of minor concern? Certainly not a deal breaker like both non removable battery and no micro sd card like the ONE X.
A third party app can fix this, and I think an update is coming to address this issue.

Excellent, I only heard rumours of a fix from LG. Third party app would be good. Let me know if you the name.
Then I thought about it, even if all these don't happen, XDA devs rock and would work something out.

My camera works meaning it opens but the image looks off colored. Its like all the colors are separated. I have checked the modes on the camera while it is open. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this. Posted a picture I took and it had all the basic settings but pictureis still off. Running fasttest 2.9 and its freakin awesome.
I'd wish people would stop posting non-android development stuff in the android development thread...Most likely a hardware issue, you can prove me wrong though. I want to really punch someone in the face right now...Imma punch my own, STOP POSTING IN THE WRONG SECTION D:
would attempt to help if you posted in the right sub section.
new to xda
I didnt know there was a different place to post. What is it?

ya, i had the same problem too, and no switching roms does not help.
its more likely a hardware problem, and i just sent it to t-mobile and got a new one back even though the phone was rooted........

I apologize in advance for asking a question that has no doubt been asked on here before and posted but I cant find my answer. I just recently came to Motorolla from HTC because I needed to switch to Verizon for work and the D3 was perfect. After looking around on here and on the CM site Im still very confused...Is there a CM download (preferably CM7.1) for the D3 or are people just trying to make something work on it. Im not even rooted yet because if I cant get CM Im not sure I even want to. If anyone can answer this for me and direct me to a download it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all and I apologize again for asking a dumb question.
Yes Hashcode has a cm7 download in the Droid 3 developers forum....it's still got a few minor bugs but overall it's awesome I've been running it for quite sometime now...I don't have a link but look in the dev forum...good luck.

There's a somewhat 7.1 port posted, but hashcode is mostly focused on bringing the 9 up to being usable.

It, most certainly, is good enough to be used as a daily driver. I have been using it since he was able to work out the audio bugs. Around 11/15. It does take some setting up, but well worth it. Just read the thread and Hash's blogspot, you should find everything you need there. Good Luck!

If we got everything working the d3 could get official cm7, I think by the time Hashcode is done we'll have an official cm9, think it depends on the code he uses and the cm guys
the only that doesnt work is the camera i use it as a daily rom its great
I've read the external SD also doesn't work. Is that true?

That's fine with me, the camera isn't that great anyway but it would be nice to have. How about wifi and GPS? I had CM7 on my G2 and there were a lot of issues with that stuff. Bith are a big deal for me. What's the best bet as far as getting root? Is Psouda's one touch pretty fool proof? I would hate to brick my new baby!

Both SD cards are working in both CM7 and CM9. It's their naming convention that throws people off:
/emmc is the internal emmc storage area (called "/sdcard" in the stock ROM)
/sdcard is the actual sdcard (it's called "/sdcard-ext" in the stock ROM)
And actually the camera will work. The hardware camera does not, but there are a couple software cameras from the market that will. I use camera zoom fx. With very little problems. If you're like me and the camera isn't that big of a deal, these soft cams will work good enough.

What do you mean the hardware camera doesn't work and software camera does?
For any camera soft to work the hardware has to be working...
Do you mean, you can't take pictures with the inbuilt camera app, and can take pics with camera zoom fx?
If so, then the camera works, just the default app does not...
Is this what you mean? If so, then great... If not, what're you sayin'?

Thanks for this information, very important.
What are CM9's shortcomings in usage on the Droid 3 in your opinion, based on experience? Drawbacks, when compared to the default ROM, any?

xt860, android 2.3.5, Eclipse 1.1.1
so which camera to install.. all thirth party stuff i tried really suck.. some dont work at all some others have terrible quality some others only show half of the screen....
I like ProCapture. You can either buy it from the market or do some Google searching to "try it before you buy". (But I really suggest buying it if you like it.)

Eh the Galaxy Nexus had THIS EXACT problem when it first came out. Software update fixed it.
I'm not worried.
I would suggest not testing if you don't notice anything. So many people discover issues they wouldn't have cared about otherwise because of threads like this. The screen separation issue is one. How many people wouldn't have even noticed? I wouldn't have, especially once I got my Nexus in a case.
So far I have no issues at all with my tablet. Have been using it since yesterday and working perfect. But I hate chrome browser even though it's better then it was on the a500.maybe I just need to get used to it. Also I get lagg in resizing text auto.
We have been discussing this issue here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789450 the multitouch test shows the bug even if you didn't play, you only need to put the tablet on the desk and it will happen ;(

Not that's been highlighted in the reviews at this moment. I doubt this will be something available when the device launches, but we can be hopeful that HTC will add this feature. I doubt it will happen, but it's good to be hopeful.

I'm sure it's capable, but there's the interest of doing it that the developers need to have before something like this takes flight. If you could find a developer that is interested in making it happen, then it could be possible. But to be honest, it's really too early in the game to start worrying about it. Still need to start with S-OFF, rooting, custom recovery, ROMs, kernels, etc. If any developer on here could chime in and give their input???
Why on earth would one want to use both cameras simultaneously? I'm not sure there would be a real world use for this. Can anyone think of any?

My sentiments exactly, that's more of a novelty feature than it is useful. It's just something for the manufacturer to day the can do out. Just like 3D cameras and dual screens it's a novelty. In glad sprint decided top keep the phone as it was designed. All I hope for is for HTC to do a better job of realising sources on a timely matter an a quick upgrade to 4.2.2
something clever goes here...

Why not? Say im in a really cool place and i want 2 send u a pic like a postcard. It would b cool 2 take dual pics or video 2 share. I dnt think its a novelty at all. I actually like that idea and would actually find it useful unlike a stupid 3d camera

Seems like a hassle more than anything. It would just mean you have to line up a shot on you and on the other person at the same time. It's something I'd never use. Now, the EVO 3D. I loved using that camera. Good thing my wife still has my old one.

Whatever floats your boat.
I'm sure some app developer will create an app that mimics Samsung's functionality. It just seems like a farfetched idea so no one has thought of or even undertaken the development of such an app yet.
Keep your eyes on the play store and the forums, I'm sure one will pop up soon (If not already).

Not to mention, only a handful of people have the devices. I don't think any of the Sprint models are even in developers hands.
Perhaps a quick photosphere?

Hi. I am interested in getting this phone.. But most of the camera tests I see online, the images are too dark. Also, strangely, although images are generally underexposed, they still somehow manage to blow out highlights sometimes.
I am very impressed with the camera quality apart from the issues stated above, but surely they are software issues and can be fixed with a patch or alternative camera app?
Thanks

Everything can be fixed and by far improved using the GCam. Search the thread for examples.
Thanks
I saw some pictures but they didn't seem hugely better to me.
Plus most apps need a root to install?
I wouldnt wan't to buy a phone and risk installing an app and then can't send it back if I'm not happy.
Do you know a link for some good picture and video samples?
Thanks

There was one where the Stock camera was better I think.
But all the others the Gcam looked quite a lot better.
And does the Gcam also give better video recording?
