different camera software - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Is there other camera software. My camera is barley passable. There is way too long of a delay till it actually snaps a picture by the time it does the subject has moved and most of the time just comes out blurry. With video if you pan even slowly its also blurry. Is this a hardware issue in which case were stuck or is it software in whcih case is there an alternate. Ive searched and found none. I read the posts about the plastic piece and was thiking of removing it because there is an improvement but what about dust getting into other plastic part on the lens which seems harder to clean. Thanks for any help.

Which version of the Rhodium have you got?
I have a European GSM version, and the back cover has a hole in it and there's no extra clear plastic piece. Dust does sometimes get in, but nothing that a quick wipe with a microfibre cloth doesn't solve.

I have the US sprint cdma version.

Does that have the plastic on the back battery cover? I think the T-Mobile version had, but not sure about the Sprint one.
Anyway if there is a plastic piece on the battery cover, then removing might give you a bit of a better picture.
Also you can try the advice here:

It works for some other HTC models (Fuze and Touch HD) and the brightness tweak seemed to work on my Touch Pro 2.
Finally, I don't know of any alternative camera apps. I've flashed a custom ROM on my phone which has an updated HTC camera app. The response is fine, although pictures can be a bit grainy (which is a kind of pay-off).

thanks for the reply. im not sure about taking off the plastic altough i knoow it would help. im nervous about dust getting stuff getting in. Ill have to read about what others said about that. I read the link you sent and it seems to have really helped. Im not sure about one thing though:
To enable the frames per second on your
camera just make this tweak (click for original posting): HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/
Common and change EnableFrameRateInfo to
1
What does he mean and how do i do that?
Thanks again

Wow my first post...anyway, both BSB Tweeks and Advance Config let you adjust your camera settings without having to do any registry changes. Hope that helps, I love my camera now

It means change a registry key, but registry editing can be messy if you're not sure what you're doing, so always back-up if you do make changes. As cgonzgo says there are apps that can do the changes behind the scenes for you.
The thread on xda-developers for the Advanced Configuration Tool is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
As to the specific key for displaying the frame rate information, this can be useful but not strictly necessary. As the article stated, just waving your hand in front of the camera to check for blurriness can be a quick-and-dirty way of seeing the difference.

thanks. I downloaded advanced configuration and made the changes and there is an improvment.

No problem. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Hardware problem (buttons), please help.

over the past few weeks some of the buttons (namely left soft key, up and left) have stopped working, i've tried numerous roms just incase but it's definatley a hardware issue, now, i've dismanted the phone using the diamantos guide to see if anything jumps out at me, gave the phone a damn good cleaning whilst i had the chance, put it back together....but nothing, everything seems to be in order, all components in their rightful place but i still cant work it out, does anyone know if this is a common problem or if theres a fix as i've been unsuccessful in my searches.
actually, i just found the solution and it worked a treat, thanks anyway people.
btw, if anyone would like to know what i did then i'll be more than happy to share the solution.

I'll be more than happy
please share your solution with us, I have the exact same problem
ok, no problem, heres what i did.
before you start please be aware that this is a very delicate procedure and you should take care as this may naff up your beloved trinity.
ok, i first disassembled my trinity using the dimantos guide located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311463,
now, when you get to the keyboard / button pcb take it out if, you look closely you'll notice theres a thin adhesive plastic cover covering the metalic buttons, very very carefull peel this back (i used a sharp knife to get to it), making sure not to completely remove it, try to only expose the underneath of the buttons in question, you'll see that the buttons come away with the plasic leaving the underneath exposed, now, using a cotton bud and some lightly applied alcohol clean the contacts then when all is done, replace the plastic and make sure its firmly pressed back down you may notice it making a different, kind of sharper clicking noise when depressed than before meaning its worked, repeat for all buttons.
i think whats going on here is the gum or glue from the plastic film has "leaked" if you will, onto the plates meaning theres no contact from the buttons, this would also account for the very slight change in sound when you now press the button.
i found this info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-289737.html
i have the same problem with the front hardware keys. They last around 1 year, i had them changed under warranty the first time but now they are failing again.
Thank you! now i just have check for tools and some courage because i fear damaging my good old trinity.

....hi to all dear friends!!after half an year of very hard work my trinity has the same problem....only central botton working but,the superior two,works if I do an hard reset!very strange!changing a lot of different roms,from w 5 to w 6.5 the problems doesn't solve...!
- I'd like to make your same operation but I'd like to know first if you too have they working on hard reset before trying....
thanks a lot and merry christmas!
yes, even after a hard reset they work for me, its as if it was brand new, bare in mind you may have a different problem so if your gonna try this, TAKE YOUR TIME.

I tried doing this but found no plastic cover above the metallic buttons. Maybe it's because mine went for repair with this problem before, dunno.
I don't think i can mess with the metallic part so i guess i'm stuck with this unless i buy a new keyboard.
it's more of a very very thin laminate, like sticky back plastic than a cover, it should definately be there unless they replaced the PCB with a different model, otherwise the metalic buttons would just fall away. Again, they may have used a different version of the PCB. You can actually buy the PCB and replace it yourself. (here http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600dopod-d810-keypad-p-1825.html )

Secret to Soft Resets?

Hi.
As much as I like my Tilt 2, it's driving me crazy. Why? Because somebody decided to put the reset button underneath the back cover on a Windows Mobile phone!
Because of all the software I have installed, I find that I have to do frequent soft resets. When the OS is running, I can do this through software. If the OS freezes up, however, I have no choice but to remove the back and do a physical reset.
I am currently having major problems with Wunderradio causing frequent freezes and I'm afraid I'm going to wear out the back, snapping it off and on so often. Am I missing something? Can anyone tell me if there's another way?
Thanks!
You didn't tell us wich rom you run. What you could try is this.
In this thread there are different options of soft resetting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585813
Or you can download quickmenu and set it to you're start button (the hardware one). If my sense freezes I can always get quickmenu to start and it has an option to soft reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340352
I have used this to great success: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544016
Basically it gives you four choices when pressing the power button: Sleep, Restart, Shutdown and Cancel. Look through the thread for several really nice skins.
These days I use the cab attached; it gives you a WiFi on/off shortcut and a Reset shortcut. It was made for Sense 2.5, but it might work anyway. No harm trying.
I understand what you mean. I've found my device doesn't lock up as much so it hasn't been that big of a pain for me. But when the device first came out i read on some winmo news site about someone that drilled a hole in their case.
Here's one example that i just found from a quick google search. I'll probably do this pretty soon with my dremel.
I used a micro drill, and measured and drilled a hole in the case of mine. Looks like it came from the manufacturer, but I built scale models for years, so it was no big deal.
wow im gonna have to do that, i hate having to take my clear plastic case off, then the back off the phone, just to sr. never thought of drilling a small hole. last thing i woulda thought of is defacing a really nice looking (and expensive) phone. but this is gonna be a must-do for me. please post any tips or techniques that will help me and probly a few others from screwing it up (how to pinpoint exact hole location on back cover, how to avoid crappy lookin jagged hole, etc anything maybe learned thru doing it)
thanks for sharing!!

Tmo was smart enough to put the reset hole on the outside of the case on their version of the TP2...but forgot that on the HD2, and I miss that even more than I miss the hardware keyboard!
For those of you who are interested in drilling a hole in the side of your case to get access your reset button, I might suggest that you first mark the exact spot you need it drilled, and then take it down to your local hobby (model) shop...they will most likely have (or know) somebody that can drill you a nice clean precise hole exactly where you need it, if you slip them a little cash. As MustangBond (p51d007) mentioned above, model-builders will have both the tools and the expertiese to do this much quicker, easier, and with more professional-looking results than the average Joe could make happen
Solved...Thanks!

You're right. Guess I forgot where I was! I'm running the stock ROM for now; I have enough problems, without adding yet another variable.
Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. Of course, a hardware button is the obvious solution. I own a copy of AE Button Plus and actually had the PTT long press set to soft reset, but it wasn't working, and I'd forgotten about it. However, I'd downloaded Rhodium Keyboard Controller a while ago, so after reading the comments here I decided to give it a try. I now have a working soft reset without having to drill a hole in the back. (Yes, I had considered that. However, I'm NOT a model builder and it would be a big deal for me!)
Some of the suggested applications look very interesting as well, so I'll be looking into them.
Thanks again!
For me the issue is even worse because I use a transparent plastic shell snapped onto the back and front of the device for protection. It is not all that easy to remove.
I just used Keyboard Controller to make the device soft reset upon triple clicking the power button.
Obviously does not work in all cases, but most of them.

My Back camera is taking weird...pictures

i have attached a picture i just took... it looks kinda infared,.. kinda with the colors blurried... front works perfectly. running baked snack but this also did the same thing on fresh rom.
i dont see the picture!!! lol
lol just fixed it
hmmm, I was trying to recreate the problem on my phone. It almost looks like a low light shot? Have you tried in other areas of the house with different lighting?
By the way, is that spatula part of your tools or cooking utensils
Edit, also have you made sure your lens is clean and all that?

yeah it's all clean, if you could see the picture on the phone... it looks like 1 of those weak heat showing cameras... where theres red,yellow,orange and then coolest is blue. i dunno wtf it is. i did just get the invisible shield put on it yesterday... but its not covering the lens
lol, you dont have one of the camera effects on do you? while in camera press menu and select the paint pallet thing
there is a clear difference from the front camera to the back camera is the problem. no effects. normal.
hmmm, I said that because when I was messing with mine, the solarize option made it look like the photo you took, different colors depending on light intensity. Maybe try toggling it on and off just to see. Other than that though, I have no clue so I am sorry I could not help!!!
i'm thinking about taking it into best buy and having it checked out, should i flash it back to stock with the RUU before i do so? i can just see one of the geeksquad retards saying "oh it's because you've rooted it" or some BS like that
To be safe I would. Most people say, and I believe, that hardly anyone would notice but I'm paranoid like that. Plus doing an ruu will ensure it wasn't something during the rooting or flashing process.
i have wiped cache,delvic etc.. etc... reset to default settings. still doesn't matter, doesn't matter what rom i use etc.. i am going to flash back to stock and see... i never looked at the camera on stock heh
im thinking the problem is with the invisible shield u installed, it looks like the solvent that comes for the shield might have sipped through the glass covering the lens and gotten directly on the lens itself.
Any recommendations if indeed this could be a culprit? i am assuming the glass on top of the camera just doesn't come off...
i cant think of any solution off the top of my head..i'll try poking around my phone to see if i can find any way around it for you
That picture looks creepy though. Like something from Saw, perhaps.
No you just got the only thermal imaging HTC evo made.... ill buy it.,jk

sorry for bumpin an old thread. but this happened to me tonight. would sprint give me new phone under warranty?
I'd just unroot if rooted, being it to your local corporate store, and they should replace it under HTC warranty
Sent from my Premium MikEVO...yep McDonald's is jealous
I'm having problems with my camera on MIUI too. It either isn't recognized or just force closes. sucks real bad.
The camera is broken, you'll have to unroot, and take it to sprint, or live with it.

It doesn't make much difference with other software either. Day photos are manageable but photos taken at night are as equal to some vga quality images.
Can we have… the sample of images taken at daytme and night??

Hello
I was having almost the same problem, but thankfully I was able to be resolved today
Simply problem
First, is there is dirt on the lens Alcamrh unclear Ptndev do a very good lens.
Second: Take a piece of transparent adhesive tape, taking into account Ndhafah piece OBTAINED and paste it on the lens Alcamrh so completely stripped it from the air by pressing the adhesive tape so careful with all of the external lens Ateixr
For it from the plastic and then open Alcamrh you will notice the difference immediately.
Third: Increase adhesive tape, taking into account the good Cleaning Units to the lens.
With thanks and appreciation

could you explain this with images bro?

I have the same device and had a similar problem. Simple fix for this. The lens is just dirty it has a film build up on it. If you clean with toothpaste and a quetip it will clear right up. I know this sounds odd but worked great for me.
Let me know if this hlps

White frost on the front camera

I know this is outside of the usual Q/A the forum presents, but I'm hoping you guys have some answers?
Recently, my phone suffered some water damage when a bottle leaked in my bag, and it failed to boot for 18 hours, but works successfully now (after putting the battery and phone in rice).
However, now, my front-facing camera has a sort of "white frost", or a white covering on it. It means photos are now of a bad quality, and it's basically unusable.
Image showing this: http://i.imgur.com/NnaLpfB.jpg
Any ideas on how to fix it? Would I have to remove the back cover, and manually remove the front-facing camera like on the S4? I'd rather not do that, but if needed.
(This is also the International LTE GT-19195 version of the phone)
EDIT: If you encounter this problem, wait at least a week, it could go away naturally!

Must be the calcium etc that was dissolved in the water that is left when it evaporated, I can't think of any other way of getting rid of it other than taking the phone apart, I'm sorry to say. Though I've not taken the S4 apart it shouldn't be too hard as camera should be quite accessible. Though the sub assembly is a sealed unit (quite likely) that may be a whole different story .......
PS. Could it be related to this?
