I am also facing the same issue. The back 13MP and also front 5MP camera quality is really poor like Chinese phone. :crying:

Not sure if you have bad luck. I made some pictures and video test but unfortunately I cannot share them here since I do not have 10 post plus.
Anyway, they look really good to me. I will show them here when i hit 10th post+.

Yes but I think problem is with the app. Try A Better Camera in play store. It improved photo/video quality and had 13mp option.

My Perfect HD7

I am looking to buy this but I am disappointed that the hardware has not progressed since the HD2. My perfect HD7 is as follows:
Lovely Aluminium Case and processor from the Desire HD
Screen from the Samsung Omnia 7 (have you seen the comparisons of the screens here: http://wmpoweruser.com/engadget-previews-the-htc-hd7-htc-mozart-and-samsung-omnia-7/
The camera from the Mozart
I don't like the form of the HD7 as much as the HD2.
I am not happy with HTC on this model - probably still end up buying one but I think they could have pushed the technology a little.
Don't forget the SD card and front camera.
Man, that would be an awesome phone.
Why can't they get it right... I totally agree.
I like the chrome edge, but the back needs to be some monochrome metal unibody as well.
HD Desire HD is absolutely fugly... I have a Desire and i'm sick of the brown! Why waste aluminium by making it brown... the plastic panels in it look horrid too...
The big ugly TFT LCD is horrid too, at least give us a good enough panel that doesnt discolour from the tiniest angle change... i'm gonna compare build quality of the HD7 with Omnia 7 tomorrow and get the sexier one...
As above but with 8mpx camera and DLNA.

I didn't quite understand why they didn't put in an 8 mpx camera in it as most HTC top end phones come with that as standard.
If you read the reviews for the Mozart Camera - the quality of it is very poor! when will people understand its not all about megapixels - its the sensor and the optics that make a great photo. HTC have ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been poor when it comes to camera performance on a smartphone - The reviews of the windows phone 7 are saying the same with very poor pictures in anything other than glaring bright sunlight. Google Omnia 7 vs HD 7 photos and you'll see.

thats if only there is a omnia 7 out there! i have been chasing the networks up all day and some said they are releasing the omnia 7 on friday 22nd and some possibly next week onwards, my problem is i want to buy it sim free and they are only offering it on 2-year long contracts
htc hd7 youtube videos
hey guys!!! i was trying to watch youtube videos in my new tmobile hd7 but the quality of the videos is very poor! someone can help me to this matter?
I was having the same issue with my HD7. I am not sure if there is a way YET to change the quality of the video. I did notice a few videos allowing me to click the HQ version when browsing through •m.youtube.com•. I could not find any other way to watch high quality youtube video. Hopefully there will be an update SOON which will allow this feature through the YOUTUBE app, which I jealously watched my friend use on his Samsung Vibrant.
There is no need for a bigger camera than 6 MP on a phone. And I said 6 , not 5, because as on N8 it gives you that fancy panorama view which I love for pics. 4:3 is so 2005 .. oh well I'm not into camera quality chase on mobiles but I'd love to see that. And no more than 720p recording, make those 720p crisp with awesome sound quality and it's more than enough !
If I want to take HQ pics I'll buy a camera which I intend to do soon enough.
Yeah
Must say a bit dissapponted with the camera.. actually wanted to buy the desire HD but Tmob didnt have stock so went with 02 for the HD 7
But Boy I love the sexiness of the phone Im sure they will update the phone for sure and since htc wont update it .. the updates will be instant the moment they roll out
I think Microsoft has done a good job by taking the best of both apple and android
I don't see a reason for a 8 MP camera. 5MP is just perfect. Remember, by the end of the day, this is a phone. The network should have the capability to transmit pictures to where ever you want to share them, email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The More MP, the bigger the picture and longer it takes to share them.
guys u will never be happy... even if HTC put in all the fetures in the phone u will come out with some thing different...
if u think 8mega pix camera is good then why not buy a 12 Mega pix cam it self or 1 15 Mega pix DSLR... i guess ppl will say why not 3d screen, or 3d camera...
to some ppl SLCD is not good then the other option is dell venue pro or omnia7...
just bear in mind all the device have there pros and cons... u will never get a perfect device...
Thread closed,use this one for WP7 and HD7 opinion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847822.
Thank you.

[Q] Optimus 4X PANORAMA MODE

Hi everyone
I just bought myself an LG Optimus 4X, upgraded it to V10f...I am from Europe, and perhaps I will root the phone. I have not decided yet. I changed this phone and went from my old Apple 3G, which became very slow. But the main reason why I was looking for a new phone is because I have a 3 year old daughter, and I do not have my camera with me all of the time. And some of the pictures from iPhone could have been better. I was thinking of buying iPhone 4S, afterwards wanted iPhone 5, but the line was just too long. Also, I was a bit disappointed by Apple not making the iPhone a tad bigger at least 4,3 inch. Which I think is the right size. Anyway while looking at Samsung S3 from my colleagues at work, to which I had to configure all those Galaxys I decided to buy something a bit different. And I really liked the Optimus 4X simple design. I liked the Optimus Black before, but decided not to buy it because of 5MP camera. I have my 4X now for the second day. I haven’t transferred around 800 contacts from my iPhone yet, since I am looking for the best and pain free way to do that. But I will find a way that does not bother me. The main issue so far or complaint I have is that in all the reviews on the web, YouTube...No one mentioned that PANORAMA mode is limited to VGA resolution. What is up with that LG? The phone has four-4 nVidia cores, and all we get is VGA? Any ideas how to change that? Also taking pictures one by one while pressing button repeatedly has some lag.
Does this mod do anything?

You bought a bad phone, you should have waited for nexus 4. Just return it if you still can

The O4X camera is very "poor"... lenses I guess.
10X better the KU990 Viewty 5MP camera than this one of 8MP...
The mod can improve a little but, don't expect for miracles

The phone is not bad, camera is!
I get pretty ok picture quality. Isn't a S3 but hey the 4x is around half of what a s3 cost and less then a one x and still offers all the goodness. So i think it isn't a bad deal. But there are always people never happy about anything.

The matter is that a 8MP camera should have the quality of a 8MP camera...
They just put some s*itty piece of "garbage" there!
It's like anounce a 800hp car that don't goes further than 100km/h

It really do... Need to know more about cause a lot of people think that "our" is good and, for me is the worst camera I ever had since phones starts to have 5MP at least...
To the OP,
I personally use JB Camera+ (it is $1.99 from Google Play) but it works really great with Panorama shots and it shoot in full 8MP.. Best thing, is that it also comes with the JB Gallery app. Very much worth it in my books.
Give it at try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.camerajbplus&feature=nav_result#?t=W10.
IDK how much this will cost in Europe tho.

Camera

Hey there!
Has anyobe found a qualified report about the camera?
Are pictures good? Maybe comparison to XZ or S3?
Thank you!
can't understant well! but if u mean aboutcamera quality or pics taken whit one camera u can search web or gsm-arena hands-on theres a lot! here's link
AW: Camera
Thanks for the quick reply! In the link you posted the camera is only described, there are no details about pictures taken with it. I want to know if pictures are really that good, or if it's just another marketing-thing...
there doesnt seem to be any official reviews yet with actual pictures taken on the phone, all that is said is that its only 4mp camera but the resolution is meant to be much better and lets a lot more light in than previous htc phones
HTC camera's are usually decent, can't wait for a real review!

(XDA won't let me put down url's )
Here are some photo sample between the Lumia 920 vs Htc One.
If you look in the general thread, i've linked one where it is vs the iphone 5 but it shows you image quality, click on the article link and it'll tell you more.
Hello guys first of all may I just say I don't expect anyone to trust me especially without my own evidence (I would have had some if this crap bb didn't die on me while I was down oxford street).
However though after seeing those images vs the iphone btw I thought the images on the one were better than the iphone but inferior to the lumia 920. I decided to hunt the one down again to do some camera tests.
On tuesday on the launch of the one, i went to phones 4 u oxford street (bond street) played with the one for about 3 mins and decided it was better than the z, had better audio, camera/video which is the main things i use on the phone. however that was without side by side comparison.
after seeing the images online posted by the one, i was thinking to myself when i played with it the images looked better than that, so i headed down the whole of oxford street from tottenham court road to bond street in and out of carphone warehouse, three stores and phones 4 u and vodafone like a mad man. finally I went back to the phones 4 u that did the launch and as I walked in i saw they had the one on display however it is bolted down, with both cameras and headset jack covered, so i was disappointed as i though i wouldnt be able to do camera tests. Absolutely gutted i walked out and futher up the road to the three store (opposite selfriges).
walked in and saw they had a dummy of the black version of the one, i asked the staff to they have the real phone one said the rep came earlier and will be back tomorrow about 9am, i thought damn man then one of the staff said hold on ill check if we have the demo phone in the back. She said by the way it is a pre production unit and not final retail unit, anyway she went in the back and came back an there in her hand was a silver one, totally deprived of any restrictions what so ever, so i got a feel of the phone its far better to hold in the hand than the z due to it being smooth (the egdes of the z are rough), also feels and looks smaller than it is and it looks thinner than 9.3mm aswell.
I know audio is better than the z so i got straight to work in comparing front and rear cameras on both phones side by side. I got the staff in the three store to judge which has the better camera aswell.
these are our findings and truthful findings. z was on superior auto setting and one was on its normal auto focus setting i didn't tamper with anything else.
sharpness, colour accuracy (more natural colours), auto focusing and camera speed all favoured the one not to say the camera on the z is rubbish but The z tended to lose focus on objects (same issues that plagued the xperia s/t last year that annoyed me so much) and also letters looked more blurry on the z (i got one of the booklets and was focusing on the letters, the one was far sharper than the z and even just on general objects the one had the sharper camera.
Video (both phones were in 1080p mode on auto focus setting) again was the same story the z was struggling to focus at times, while the one always maintained focus and showed the sharper image and better colour accuracy also better audio aswell.
Even the front camera had clearer more detailed images and videos than the xperia zs front camera, also i tried zooming on the rear camera of the one again it showed more detail on zoom than any other phone I have seen bar the Nokia N8, 808, Lumia 920.
Personally in my opinion and the guys in the three store the camera on the HTC one is remarkable the staff in the three store didn't even know the one only had a 4mp camera they thought it was 13mp it was so good.
This is one of the reasons I rather go hands on with things myself than look on the internet or at reviews and I am urging people to do the same.
You will be surprised about this ultra pixel 4mp camera thing today really showed me and the three staff that its really not all about the megapixels because the ones 4.3mp camera was overall better than the xperia z's 13.1mp camera.
Hey Guys everyone keeps asking about the HTC ONE Ultrapixel camera, so while I was at the London launch I took a couple photographs!

Lastly if you are looking to buy one of these great phones why not join us at the HTC ONE Users Group over at Flickr to share your photos and discuss all things 'ONE'! http://www.flickr.com/groups/htc-one/

Not now, hahahahaha. Needs a better model
I went to three store at oxford street and pretending to know nothing about HTC one and a black sales person told me it comes with 16 gb and I disagree but still he keep saying its 16 gb but when I denied he went backdoor and come after 7 min. (dumbo) after some quick research on the net or ask senior employee and confirm its a 32 GB
never ask for any advice or technical stuff to people working in store, they can advice you on only one thing how many model of certain phone they sold and how many and which brands models they got in for repair as faulty full stop

Htc One M7 blurry camera

Ok guys, so after 6 months of a use my rear facing (back/main) camera started to take really blurry pictures.
Until now it worked like a charm, taking some amazing shots. But all of a suden, today, it takes awfull pictures.
Close ups aren't bad, but that distance pictures...
How can i fix problem? I tried factory reset, updating camera app, using 3d party camera app, cleaning the lense... and nothing worked... any suggestions? Thanks...

Yes, it looks like it's hardware issue. Replacement cost 20 euros where i live, says the guy in the store. Im just sceptical about opening the device, will he damage it because these phones are sealed and any force used into opening them can cause damages..
This ultrapixel technology really iritates

The camera you found is not for your exact model but since the G2 variants don't differ that much, especially in the camera, i think it's safe to buy. If it's wrong. it's just 6 dollars

I had the fuzzy and shaked pictures problem too, but I figured that the problem is the magnet of the speaker... The camera has its own magnets to control the lens, but the speaker magnet is very close, so this "interference" causes that the camera dont focuses properly... My fix was put a layer between the camera module and the speaker, and now the camera works like new!
