Is this a hardware flaw? I was messing around with the phone and switched the camera to the front camera, the screen showing the picture output looks discolored, blurry and somewhat pixelated.
Should I be concerned?
it will be a bit more pixalated because the camera on front is lower quality and I have the same issue with the picture being colorless probably a bug or something .
I think the front camera is 0.3MP VGA or something so pretty low quality, but glad to hear it's not just me with the video showing really faded colors!
The front facing camera is a piece of crap. You gotta wonder why they bothered to put it in there when the rest of the phone is so nice. It's like those cheap Chinese knock-off tablets.
The rear facing camera, however, does a pretty decent job. I don't even waste my time with the front one.

i have a problem with the camera quality. I don't remember doing anything to the camera setup.
now
and before - before
any ideas??
maybe you could turn off automatic light compensation? 2nd soft button on the right downside in camera view.
Butt notice that the quality of all the htc inbuild camera's is not that good.
my problem was the glass that protects the camera lens, i've fixed it and now the picture quality is back to normal
Awesome pictures though, what country are you from?
I'm from Bulgaria
this is with the fixed/cleared glass
I love my Vario2, to an almost unhealthy degree, but the awful quality of pics taken with the camera is such a let down. I had a SE K750 with a 2mp camera and the quality of those snaps were amazing. Part of the reason I waited for the Vario 2 was so that I didn't have to trade down camera quality. It doesn't matter the lighting or settings I use - everything comes out in really bad quality
Is this a software thing or a hardware? Is there maybe a better camera application out there somewhere, or a way to modd it?
Any help appreciated!!!

bump - sorry I hate it when people do this.....
I thought the camera had bad quality at first--until I read the manual about the position of the little switch by the lens. One position is a macro zoom position for shooting extra close range shots. If the switch is in that position, normal pictures will look blurry.
Anyone else have this problem with the front camera on their Epic?
The front camera on my Epic appears to have some kind of dirt underneath the glass. It looks like some kind of white lint or haze or dust or something has gotten underneath the screen/glass and in front of the front camera. If I turn the front camera on, it looks like I'm looking through a thick fog. If I look at the front of my Epic, the front camera lens shows up as a little white dot.
I can't see any possible way of cleaning short of taking the darn thing apart.
My dilemma is that I don't use the front camera, so I don't want to go through the trouble of un-rooting my phone to take it into Sprint for a replacement (I heard they won't honor any warranty work if your phone is rooted/rom-ed). But on the other hand, maybe I'll need the front camera at some point in the future.
Any similar experiences, suggestions, remedies would be appreciated.
I think its just cause its a ****ty camera.. really though I've only used it like twice
Cd's or tapes?
The front-facing camera on other Epics are noticeably better than my own, and I can see dust/dirt/something on my front camera that is conspicuously absent on others.
Edit: there are a few youtube videos showing complete disassembly. I hate video guides, so I had ignored them previously, but they do a good job showing the details.
Only slightly improved pictures after cleaning, but worth it. It does take considerably effort and much worry to disassemble. I also did not disconnect everything the videos show (like the ribbon cables - too risky for me).
Does anyone else here have poor camera quality, specifically the front facing camera? I feel as if the focus is set wrong, I cannot even get a clear picture of myself or anything.
I may be wrong, but I think the FFC is fixed focus.
I tested it in the store where I bought it and it was okay even though the definition was poor, but at home in the evening with low lighting it's pretty much unusable.
IMHO, manufacturers should scrap the back camera in tablets and only put a single, good quality, front-facing one.
Has anyone also the problem with the front facing cam, that it only delivers sharp pictures while holding the cam no too far away? If I hold my arm fully streched, the image is never 100% sharp. The view finder shows a sharp picture but the result is blurred. I really start to worry that my front facing lens might be broken. But if this was correct, the preview was also blurred, right?
Hi,
I've been experiencing the same issue. Any subject beyond arm's length appears blurry. Not sure why this is. Were you able to solve this issue in some way?
The front facing camera probably has fixed focus so moving the subject further away will result in a blurry image. There's also some very aggressive noise reduction processing that really softens the image regardless. I don't find the front camera to be particularly impressive despite being optically stabilized, wish it still had the same sensor as the m9 as that provided better shots anyway.
Any solution to this guys on the selfie camera. Could it be a defective sensor of the selfie camera? If I am the object it works fine beyond one feet turns out to be blurry. I just got my 10, two weeks back. If anyone could solve kindly reply
Thanks
Any solutions for this. What I am currently doing is holding the camera close while taking selfies as this is the only solution I could find. Other then that it's a great device.
Did also not find a solution yet.
