Welll, having used my O2 Orbit to take some pictures outside recently (for the first time) I can only say I am disappointed with the results. Every photo appears to be blurred and out of focus around the outer edge of the photo. Is this the best I can expect of the built in camera? Or am I driving it wrongly? As far as I know, the settings are default and I am set for the best resolution. Is this how they are, or do I have a faulty one?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.
Tony
Im suprised that no-one has commented on this. Does it mean my camera is faulty, or has no-one tested their camera?

reply to camera problem
Artemis has a 2Megapixel non-autofocus camera it does good taking photos outside. Picture is quite good but dont expect photo like a autofocus camera. Artemis camera as good as other non autofocus camera's out there (including iphone camera is same type camera with no autofocus camera).

lol, that sums it up quite well
My thoughts exactly. How can anyone make a device as good as this without giving it an excellent camera? Now it seems iPhone are about to do the same silly trick!
Tony, I use Artemis T-Mobile version. With the original rom, I really liked the quality of the camera. However, after moving to the Artemis ROM 3.0, I have exactly the same problems with the autofocus and the blurry image quality.
The camera can definitely do better.
Unfortunately, I have not found anything helpful so far.

there is no auto focus... there is no focus at all lol
Might be. But it does not change the quality at all. With the original ROM the picture quality was absolutely ok for a mobile. With the updated ROM, it is not even worth to press the camera button anymore...
I'm just surprised that there seems to be nobody else complaining in the thread of meschle.

i havent tried his ROM, i'm still on the original T-Mobile WM5 ROM... so i cant comment. I wouldnt have thought it would change the quality. Can you find out what resolution the photos are from Meschle's ROM?
the camera is just the same with the original or Meschle's Rom 3.0
i don't see any difference

I agree that this camera is crap.
With my wm5 I had good pictures outside, I hadn't tried since.
I am now running on tom's 4.3, before I had official wm6 rom and the both are the same. Blurry, out of focus and has a type of wellow orange filter...
Myself don't ever bother to presse the camera button anymore....
Orbit XDA from O2
Hi guys
I use this phone to take photos and to me the picture comes out perfect. I was taking photos last Sunday on a grey rainy afternoon. I think the pics came out really well.

and the pictures that I took were with the Orbit XDA from o2

pretty much the same quality as the pics i can take on mine.
The quality of your photos look like the ones I had before the ROM update. As a comparison see one of my current photos. And yes, the lense is ok
well, I thought, but I ain't sure, that my camera and in particularly my video mode , was better on my TMobile dutch WM5.... which had a camerasensor in the extended rom... Not sure if that bettered the process...
as i was saying that i'm not sure if it was worse in the beginning..cause of daylight nd night nd was't paying much atention cause I thaght is was 2 MB...
but then i XDA developers nd start Xploring... found this forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302293&highlight=camera
about the sensor-thing ,.. that way i found out about the sensor cab that is installed in the Tmobile Dutch...
and i found this forum, about framerate,...

owyeah 4got 2 mention,... I've tweaked it little by little,..and at first you don't see anydifference,... but i think after several min it differs.....

hi!
i am new to this forum.ihad a qtek 1010. now iwant to buy new ppc with camera(xdall,xdalls,xdall minin). can anyone give me suggestion.moreover i'll be thankful if anybody upload pics of their ppc camera
all pda/ cellphone cams are toys imho i've never seen a
a cmos camm which made very good pictures or video clips they are good enough for mms and take a fast shot of elvis being beamd up in his spaceship and such but little more
thanks brother! i knew it but what should i choose pda2k ,xdalls ,xda mini.which has better camera result.and i,ll be thankful if u send me a pic taken from ur ppc and dont forget to write your ppc model
I want to see the picture of Elvis being beemed up. :lol: I bet he was all shook up. :roll:
I've got a Qtek2020 that I am selling that has a pretty good camera of course its only 640x480 but it does do movies as well. I would rate the camera functions and mov functions a 5 out of 10. They aren't anything that you could make a feature length movie or award winning pics but they are pretty clear and work fine for web pics and MMS apps.
Let me know if your interested in it and we'll get together. In case your not familiar with the Qtek2020 it's exactly the same as the XDAII and that line of PDA phones.
ok guys, we are talking about ppc's here - not digital SLR's... I mean the camera quality is all pretty much the same, i dont think you gonna notice much difference between them, but if you want good camera quality, you would better off buying a digital cam... The camera is jus an extra function on the phone, its not really what you buy it for, know wat i mean???
Hi guys,
I really enjoy above mentions WM6 ROMs, but both produce nothing else as green noise in the cameras for Hermes 100.
Is this known?
Any solutions?

Dear All,
No answer, the problem is fairly obvious.

I have used 3 sleuth ROMs and i have used the all of the black ROMS (2.5->Satin), i can verify that i have had a camera in all of the ROMs used and nothing funny going on.
I have O2 XDA Trion
does that answer your question? (remember its sunday and you prob wont get fast answers today, just before you start getting pissed no-one is answering you straight away!!!)
i've got both an xda trion and spv m3100 (both HTC hermes)
and have never had this problem on any ROM

I have no issue with either Black MAJIK or SATIN but I have a Hermes 300. Are you implying that the camera issues might be the fault uniquely of the Hermes 100? There are people that have issues with their camera sand I have seen a post implying that they are potentially hardware (loose connector) issues.
Sorry I cannoy help more - I notice that none of the other people responding to your post say what Hermes version they have.
BTW - for anyone that wants to know look in settings-Device information-Identity (top entry = Model No).
Regards
i have a cingular Herm 100 and have no issues with my camera its better with the newer build than ever before. still sucks in low light but outside on a sunny day its amazing how good it is.
I've never had a issue with my camera in any build, which I've used all of the Black variants....
A mate of mine bought a rhodium and kindly uploaded pics, have at it
I must say, it's pretty damn sexual.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmnnn, that's one nice phone. Thanks for the pictures.

Damn you Oli - looks pretty damn nice.
You happy with it?

NIIIIIICE pics !! thanks for the upload..
I've had a bit more of a play with the device and as a previous Blackstone owner (Touch HD), there are some pretty noticeable differences in the UI which I'd thought I'd share for those who are interested and havn't yet got their own to play with.
Firstly, the start menu has now been totally replaced with a HTC version, which can be disabled it seems by browsing this forum, but TF3D offers no in-built method to disable it which is kind of annoying (see attached image).
Secondly, the TF3D menu style is extended into almost all programs. For example even in file explorer, opening the standard menu from the soft key shows a 'finger friendly enlarged menu' (see attached image).
Also the Bluetooth UI is completely different (see attached image).
Also a welcome change from the Blackstone is vibration feedback when using the on screen keyboard, and it also shows a button preview above the buttons when pressed (similar to the iPhone). Although this will be less useful since the device has a full QWERTY keyboard, but I'm assuming the Topaz (Diamond 2) has the same feature improvements, so it will be a welcome change for users of that device.

Could you load Skyfire and see how it performs? Someone else mentioned that Skyfire was slow and i got the feeling that he just didn't want to do it.
How is the redraw in Opera, and most importantly how is the battery life?
Great pics
Thanks!
What does it use for a notification light on the front? I can't really find one...
I wanna ask, is there a proximity sensor or no? Cuz when reading some specs, some say it does have one, some don't say anything. The HTC website doesn't mention anything either.. So?
The more pics I see of the it , the better it looks! Can't wait to get it in the States!

Can you clarify what you mean by redraw? Do you mean when you scroll around and have to wait for the page to be displayed in the newly visible area? As for battery life, no idea yet sorry. Havn't done much testing in that area.

There aew two LED's on the top of the unit on either side of the speaker. The one on the left seems to indicate charge with an orange LED and notifications with a flashing green LED. Not sure what the other LED does yet (See attached image).

I can confirm there is. If I make a call and hold the phone to my head, the screen dims, when I bring it back down it comes to life again. Pretty cool .
What I will add though it the CorePlayer movie speed seems to be a bit better than the Touch HD (well from my experience anyway). I have only tried one 350MB TV Episode so far, but it managed 90.34% in a benchmark with a framerate of 21.7. Although there wasnt a lot of 'action' in my test video so it might be worse with other videos.
3g?
does the phone have 3g but for the US, specifically AT&T??, ohh and nice phone can't wait to buy it.

This is probably the ambient light detector for automatic control of LCD brightness under varying light levels.
I haven't seen the keyboard quite that close up before. Looks like there are Caps and FN LEDs at the top.
Thanks for the pics

There are two versions of the phone, one that supports 850MHz UMTS and one that does 900MHz UMTS.
My phone is the 900MHz version, which is what the networks in Australia use (EXCEPT for Telstra Next-G which is 850MHz in regional areas).
I 'THINK' the US uses the 850MHz UMTS band but since I don't live there, I can't really say for sure. But I do not know if the 850MHz version will be released at the same time.
would it be possible for you to take some pictures with the phone and some video so we can see the quality? Thanks!

Damn, I realized now that there is no front facing camera on HTC Desire.
So, no video conference as well
There is a special photo-reflective device that can be used for teleconferencing with this type of handset. I have one in my bathroom, but the name escapes me....
I have only ever used video conferencing once in my life just to see how it works, though I know there are many people who do use it.
Some have reported the "trackball" is actually a camera. So maybe the developers might somehow make it happen.

Every optical tracker like in an optical mouse works as a camera, but they have incredibly low resolution.

Hello to everyone.
I'm starting this thred as i'm very concern, after comparing pictures made with hox to any other sources.
Picture seam to be over exposed and behind a cloud of mist. It can be observed with video or photo capture...
Does anyone have the same issue?
Is it not the driver fault?
I had similar issue when on htc hd2 installed windows mobile 7...
Please put your comments.

are u living in a Hot place? (no im not kidding"

The phone was like this synce new.
I've sold it now. to many down sides :/
when HTC will do something with battery drain, wifi antena problem (i had it also), and camera (it is not isolated issue) mabye i'll come back to it.
For a flagship device... i'm very disapointed.
