Hello there !
I'm one click away to pre order this beauty.
One thing that is stopping me (and it's the only thing that actually) is that I've seen several videos shot under low light conditions that were clearly showing frame drops.
So, what is your experience on this with the HTC One for the lucky ones already owning it ?
Is it a bug that will be fixed soon ?
Thanks a lot !
Can you provide some examples?
I dont noticed any drops and it works smooth till now...
Hi,
Starting at 00:37 here : youtube.com/watch?v=K10ZB6kGo5M
It's clearly visible.
I believe this is a problem that happened with the HTC droid DNA where there are frame drops and audio lags behind video alot, not sure if it got fixed yet
I will test it tomorrow and report if i can reproduce it

That would be awesome !
Can you also please take some picture at 0 & -2 sharpness in order to see the difference ?
Thanks a lot
Made some videos today, and was not able to reproduce it. At least not while making ~1-3 minutes videos.
Will try to do it in the evening, when its dark. Also i can imagine, that first videos were done with pre release versions, which may have "older" Software on it.
Added pictures taken with DHD and One for comparsion
Sharpness 0 and -2

As you can see, HTC One makes muuuuch better pictures
Wow, perfect !
Still, I don't get it why people say that pictures look better at -2 sharpness. This 0 sharpness pic looks totally fine !
Say, you wouldn't happen to have a window nearby in order to take a picture of the outside, with the same settings ? (0 & -2 ) If that's not too asking too much of course :laugh: :good:
Well i have no idea, why people say that.
Also i took this picture purposely, so you can see text to compare sharpness.
As you can see sharpness 0 is way better.
Even if it is not that sharp at all, it was cold and battery was to empty for flash light.

Hey thanks a lot. Very nice details for a 4mp camera at sharpness 0.
I can see the picture is a bit blurry on the bottom right, but that might just be the focus who went a bit crazy on that particular picture :cyclops::good:
Thanks a lot.
Well i think it was because i wasn't holding camera in position, as i said it was cold

Have a look through JimmyMcGee's link, then look through here. There are some stunning pictures. If you still can't take good photos it's probably you and not the camera.
isnt this what dutty runs on his rom?
its not like im displeased with the quality of picture... the lag is just ****ing unbearable and makes me want to never use it and the fix posted in the wiki doesnt seem to work for me

out of curiosity what are those pictures of?? water .. stacked in a nice looking room ... ??
I hate to tell you - it's a PHONE!
It is NOT a:
1. computer (although it works well to get email and short messages sent)
2. gameboy (although you can waste a lot of time playing games on it)
3. Nikon/Canon (although you CAN take some nice pictures on it)
It is what it is...
Best you can say - you need better get a phone that has a better picture taker on it - will you sacrifice something that is on your Tilt? Yup - most likely you will then say the phone is not good enough or the email is not good enough - or you need GPS...
Your picture actually looks pretty fine for a CELL PHONE!
Bill
Well, I have a Tilt as well and I must say my Tilt takes better pictures than that. Have a look at the thread where everybody posts pictures from their Kaiser. Compare them and see what settings they have things on.

Is it a stock rom or a cooked rom? What camera version are you running? Have you tried the photo quality cab floating around? Need a little more info to help.
But remember, it's a phone first. All the other stuff is just that, stuff.
Ok here are a couple things to do to improve Picture Quality. Remove the Battery Cover. Take a Picture. Did it Focus Faster. That Plastic piece in the Battery Cover is a Picture Destroyer.
Secondly Install Navadi Camera Fix. Also set the Shutter Sound Off and Set to half Press. Try those things.
did no one read my second post? the picture quality is not the problem... the lag in low lighting situations just turns me off from using it because its just such a pita... im currentily running duttys 6.1... so im assuming everyone just deals with it?
Bingo. We jsut deal with it.
You know what they say, "Jack Of All Trades, Master of None."
The Kaiser can do a lot of stuff, but it does none of it well.
hi there everyone. I got my kaiser a couple of days ago of a friend's friend and its a great phone. i am having a problem though with the camera as i understand its 3 megapixil, but my quality is realy really bad. It is very blurry to the point where the picture is just ugly.
my camera quality is really bad i have one of the newsest camera software installed. i dont mean the lag or anything i just mean the camera quality is so blurry and unclear i have sharpness on high and styll :S
when i press the camera button to take a picture and it auto focuses, before the green thing comes for juss half a second everything is clear buh then becomes super blurry when the green part comes and the pictures turns out blurry (so much for the moment of clarity ). any suggestions or is it jus broken
It would be nice if you would post a pic of the blurrieness so that we can compare with our blurrieness. Oh and the camera is known for being ghetto.
Take the back off and take a picture, most probably it is the plastic cover over the lens, to which can be removed
Like the guy above me said...take the cover off when you take a picture...I finally just got tired of always having to take the cover off, so I just got an exacto knife and removed the plastic piece on the back cover that "protects" the camera...and now my pictures are true 3MP quality =)
A known poor design issue
There have been many threads about this here already so a search will reveal more. What you're experiencing is probably known as Chromatic Aberration which as you can read is associated with the design of the lense and its cover. As mentioned removing the cover helps (as does making sure it's kept clean - not an easy task considering it's right where your fingers go).
hole
i did a hole for clear snapping pics...lol..

OMG! You're right. After reading this thread, I took two pictures, one with the cover on, and one with the cover off. The difference is remarkable. I didn't know my kaiser was capable of pictures like this
Here is the proof.
And just think, this is a really old subject that has been covered before. You could have been taking pictures like this earlier if you had found those threads.
thnx everyone it actaully is working amazing now . i had some plastic clear sticker on top of it and when i took it off the camera started taking crystal clear pictures. its BOOOOOM! now
Hi there,
i had my HTC one 2 days ago

Impossible. Night will always try to reduce the ISO but in return uses a slower shutter speed. If Night Mode isn't doing that, it means it isn't dark enough for Night Mode to use it's full capabilities.
Take a picture showing the problem, post it here.
Is it like this? If yes please mail or call HTC about this problem. HTC already recognized the issue they just need more feedbacks and is collecting some more info to narrow down the issue.

Here's a quote of their response.
Hi everyone. I'm going to do my best to raise this issue, but in the past I've been told that unless something is a "call driver" (meaning people are calling into tech support about it) the issue doesn't always get enough attention. My suggestion would be for everyone affected by this issue to call HTC tech support in their local country and file a report on this problem. I wouldn't suggest sending in your phone for repair (I agree with the notion that this is a software issue) but get it on record as being a problem.

It's seems that I have a problem with Auto-iso cuz at night it always took a picture at 1600 even if there is a street light . I'll install ARHD Rom maybe it's a software problem.

Hi everyone,
I think I might have a problem with my cameras or maybe they're just not as good as I hoped. The image attached is supposed to be a close up but as you can see it wouldn't focus close up. I was around 2" away from the object. Previous phones handled close ups like this without a problem, so what gives?
How are you close ups?
I've already tried cleaning the lens and changing cameras settings etc

A quick solution
Please refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77804957&postcount=51. Although, from the screenshot you have attached, it seems that your phone is simply too close to the subject. The minimum focusing distance for your P20 Pro is 10cm, so you will need an external lens attachment to photograph anything closer than that. I hope this helps.
Exactly. It even tells you that you're too close. Just back off a little.

I might try what is suggested in the other thread. As for being too close, my 2014 S5 can take close ups at this distance no problem so I expected this "beast" to be even better.
I love the phone but I think the cameras were definitely over hyped
Well it's no secret that the minimum focus is 10 cm. But I agree it would be handy if closer focus could be achieved. Occasionally I could make use of it, too.

Then you guys are in luck. Your p20 Pro comes with a 40MP sensor. So zoom in and crop away at your hearts' desire, my friends .
With all my respect, but that is not the same. Far from it.

Yes, I know. Just trying to put a positive spin on a bad situation I have actually been curious to try out one of those macro lens attachments from Amazon.
I guess they will work okay. I sometimes photograph through a loupe, just holding the phone close to it. Doesn't look as good as a true macro shot, but good enough if you're lazy and don't want to get the DSLR out (I am the queen of laziness ).
auto-focus macro would ask u to go further away. If you'd like to do really closed-up photos, you can do it 2 ways.
1. switch to 3x zoom, then point your subject and take photo. the magnification is quite near to macro.
2. switch to "Pro" mode, then, click "AF-C" to choose "MF", there u can switch the focus slider to get your desired focus. That way, I can get up to 4 or 5 cm closed instead of 10 cm as in auto-focus mode.
Hello! I have noticed that my device is changing color when tilting the phone in different angles. It gets a slight pinkish/reddish tint and I wonder if everyone has this or if my screen is bad and if I should get the phone replaced? I took a video of it but it doesn't really show as much in the video as it does IRL. It's much more noticeable IRL. I can't add the video here due to XDA rules.
So, is this normal or should I get it replaced?
My s10 plus doesnt do this hmmm, do you run it on wqhd? See if that makes a difference if not I reccomend taking it back

It happens no matter the settings I use. Tried vivid turned to cool, tried to turn down the red color etc etc. It's only noticeable on a white/grey background. Like in the Gmail. I guess I'll try to get it replaced.

Seems like it's a common issue. Not sure if it's actually normal tho? A friend of mine has almost none of this issue on his. I also took a picture of it showing quite a lot of the issue.

I can see green edges if I tilt the phone.
