[Q] Can you check your front camera? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Okay heres something weird?
Aside from the crazy amount of distortion on the front camera, I've noticed before that when using the front camera that things worked fine before. Meaning the front camera has no problems focusing on me.
I flashed ViperRom the other day, and have noticed that every single of my pics from the front camera is not in focus and tapping the screen does not change anything.
My question is, does your front camera focus?

Yep on that exact Rom too

Front facing camera problem

For some reason, my phone won't detect the front facer. I've checked this in the hardware information. It used to show a 1.3 mp camera, and now it doesn't.

Lu6200's picture is better than P880's.
P880 unable to focus,the focusing blur.

upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus
Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?
I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

Yes..
In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

Oh, it's a phone?? Naaah, damn, thought it was a camera....
Well, o2x takes better pics, even my transformer prime takes better photos.. but besides that, I love the phone!
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.
I love it too,i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:
I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

result is the final picture is blurry, and details lost although its tries to focus. its not just the visual part, seems to be a combo

Best camera app?

Do you know any good camera apps that have better image quality and autofocus speed than the stock one? I would also like it to have similar appearance as the stock. I tried hdr camera, and it did have better autofocus and image quality, but its a bit hard to use because there are no on screen buttons, for example for flash, and picture taking is very slow for some reason...

HDR camera take multiple contrast images when you take a shot, so it takes a few seconds to gather them and compile them into a single image. And you can change flash settings in advanced menu. It is bit slower but 5mp camera isn't great for quality.

Yes, I see. Any other camera apps you would reccomend? And what if i put it on 3,2 mpix in settings?
Sent from my GT-I8190N using xda app-developers app
All you can really do is set exposure change mode to fast.
I haven't tried many other camera apps, but this one works well.

Camera focus

Hi . Can someone tell me how close their camera can get to anything before going out of focus . As mine will not get any closer than about 15 cm before getting blurry . I cannot take pictures of any text close up .

Have you tried using the Macro setting from the menu?
EDIT: Yep, looks like you're right... hmmm... If it's just readability you're going for, you can always use the digital zoom slider to zoom in. The text looks fine, but the background's a little (a lot) grainy.
Have tried a few things to make it better. The macro shots I get are useless. Any object is totally out of focus until i move about 20 cm away .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Can anyone else verify this as macro mode is useless to be honest and need to know if it's just mine that is faulty or it is the way the camera is .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
With macro on i can get as close as 45-50mm
John.
It depends on what you're trying to get a picture of. Certain things with certain lighting will be easier/harder for the camera to focus on.
I just tried it for myself. From one angle I couldn't focus very close. Maybe around the distance the OP was saying. From a different angle, with the light bringing out details better, I was able to get much closer. If my first attempt was about 10-15cm, maybe my second attempt got around 5cm

I'll get some examples of how mine is over the weekend and post them . I'm not trying to push the limits of the camera. Just can't even focus on normal size fonts on say a bank statement for example .
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
This is how things come out about 20 cm away . I wouldn't say it's much better 30 cm away . Is this normal . ?

It just doesn't seem to want to focus close up but rest looks ok . Doesn't matter how I take the picture it happens .

Can someone please post some pictures to compare . Would be grateful for some to compare some close ups . Thanks

On mine it is no perfect but looks better:
This has been shooted at 5-6 cm of distance, mine can focus properly.. Someone decompiled camera.apk and the focal length is set to 5cm,over that will not focus ..
Done in artificial light, macro mode

here is a small test I did with my HONE and I'm kinda pissed, 5cm no focus, 6cm no focus, 7cm no focus, 8cm almost focus and then 9cm clear focus all on macro mode.
Perhaps my handset is defective?

I think I need to learn how to guess my measurements . Mine is very close to yours but maybe slightly worse. Sorry people for the rubbish guessing but it's still not very good . .

Yeah me too, did some tests with real mesurment and when I'm really close I get quite the same results as you Cynikal
I was right about 10-15 cm away . Just over did it a bit saying as far as 30 cm . But have had bad experiences at 20 cm at times .

Depends a lot also on rom
I noticed a important improvment on 4.2.2
The focal distance is 5cm,so is software related,and i can focus from that distance on 4.2.2
I have tried most roms on my phone with not that much difference to be honest . There is no way I can get to 5cm with any useable results . I know this may seem a minor problem but I need to use this for work to take pictures of part numbers . My one x and incredible s used to be able to handle these distances even in low light conditions .

Camera blur + focus problem?

I tried to take a picture of landscape and won't focus. Most of the time it focuses on areas on the left side and leaving like half of the picture blurry in random spots on the right.
I've seen some issues on XDA forum but I don't really understand...I also didn't install any modifications. The whole package is straight outta Ee-tmobile UK and still is!
I wonder what could be the problem? There is an example

Hey there, As I said in the other topic, your phone seems to be defect, I suggest switching it with a new one.
