Try giving the lens a clean with a cotton bud. It makes a huge difference.

Try cleaning the lens.
This made a huge difference for me.

After:
I also bumped the contrast and sharpness by one notch.

dip the tip of the bud into alcohol, squeeze it so it doesn't drip and clean again...it'll get better

Any particular alcohol?

Just for your information
when I open my device I notice there was a front camera lens protection and it get damaged quickly.
it looks like a cheap Chinese one hahaa loll

The front camera module is very poor quality compared with the S3/ S2 and iPhone. HTC really cut corners with that one. The design is pretty flawed too, as every time you put the phone in your pocket it grates lint off the fabric of your trousers and you eventually end up with a load of fluff lodged in the hole. After three days mine is already saturated with dust and grime to the extent that it effects the picture quality.

Q: bad camera on desire

I have leedroid 2.2f rom, and 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_
0A radio version and my camera is very bad can you help me?
Bad in the sense what exactly? Plz give more details..is the pic quality bad or is it some software prob related to camera?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
pic quality is very bad, software is fine
I guess your camera cover is damaged..try taking pics with the back cover removed and see if tou find any difference...also see in camera settings about the pic resolution size..it should be 5MP..hope dis solves your prob...

Yes, your camera cover is damaged. It may have scratches on it. I also had this problem. The Desire camera cover shouldn't have been made the way it is. Because when you place it on any surface, it can get scratches on it and most of the times it does. What I did, and what you can do, is that you can have your camera cover "buffed" so the scratches on it would go away and you will have good quality pictures.
Buffed means what exactly?BTW my camera cover was already damaged beyond repair,so what i did was removed the circular camera lens cover and replaced ot with a glass of same size..thnx to da watchmaker who agreed to make the glass of same size for a mere $1..i then stuck dis glass on my desire's cover with instant adhesive...camera images are now as crisp and clear as before...now i hav learnt from past experience and bought a pouch from my desire...

10x optical zoom lens for Arc

As I'm about to order it, I wonder if SO has it, or have used it, because I have some questions about the quality - is it blurred or blackened around the corners of the pictures, is the zoom adjustable, or 10x fixed. If anyone has sample photos I'll be thankful - with and without.
I don't know if it's OK to post the link to the shop, so just pictures. You know it anyway...

I think this is a stupid accesory. Better to spend the money in a camera..........
Yeah. I can buy a phone for 20$, a laptop, dslr, video camera and a watch. Why do i need a smartphone with a stupid accessory, as i can have a trailer loaded with things tbat do almost the same...
Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk
I've bought one, I'll post some photos during the week =)
i bought one for my X1 a couple of years ago... it was garbage from day one. very impractical. the lens wiggled on the plastic phone case and so the build quality is just what you expect.
your $20 is better spent on a real point-&-shoot camera if you want the zoom capability.
any progress here? Just curious

DealExtreme usually get their hands on new products first. So if no one has bought it from DX, no one else have it.
here are pics using the lens [=
i got it after waiting 7 weeks for it to arrive from DX to usa.
its very nice probably more for outdoors which i havent tried yet but here are pictures with and without so you can see how it zooms in at 10x. the only downside is that you cant control the zoom its 10x fixed.
i zoomed in on the picture with the mushroom [=

Cleaning white htc one x

How are guys cleaning the one x?
Mine already have some black marks on the back, I've been using my fingers and wet tissues.

Thats probably the only way.....I'm sure you could get a wet cloth or napkin and wipe it.
Saliva with fingers probably works too
Will the printed text on the back erase if we use wet tissues to clean the one x back in the long run .
No offense intended, but I think I made the right decision to get the dark grey version.
Were you successful on removing the marks on your white One X?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
I've been avoiding wiping the label just in case it does fade.
Marks are pretty easy to clean, but its even easier to get the marks back on. Fingers with even a little bit of dirt will make visible marks. I can just see my phone turning yellow in a years time.
Definitely recommend a case. Mine still haven't arrived yet.
yea I took out a white one out of box to check it out before I delivered it to its buyer, but man in 5 minutes the thing collected every conceivable dirt and speckle, the back doesn't smudge however unlike the grey
I use a mild detergent or diluted dishwashing liquid, some cotton balls and a bowl of water.
works well.
Edit:
Got the idea from this at the launch.

Fisheye focusing problems

Hi there!
yesterday i bought this wide angle/macro and fisheye camera lenses for my Galaxy N7000. The problem is that i can't focus anything with them
I tried with my galaxy s2 and it works perfectly
I'll be really glad if you guys can help me with some info
Cheers:good:
:c
I have used the fisheye, wide angle and macro lens, the one with wide angle and macro screwing into one lens.
They focus pefrectly well on the note for me.

Fisheye:
The lens:
I also got a fisheye lens for a few bucks from ebay and at first couldn't focus. I figured out that the problem comes from the magnetic attachment that distorts the focusing mechanism. It helped for me to use two of those metal rings between the phone and the lens to make the magnetic force on the phone smaller. Do you understand what I mean? otherwise i can maybe take a pic...
OMG Thank you! I had the same problem. This helped a whole lot! Thank you very much!

After I saw this post I went to ebay and took a look, not expensive at all.
Just search on ebay for: Fisheye galaxy note.
i have the same problem
i have the same problem with my S2, and it seems that using two rings helps, but since they're both the same polarity, i can't align it.
weird thing this is only happening to few of us.
i'm not sure if it's the magnet, because i think the autofocus works with light, don't know what the magnet can do about that.
:silly:
Yep. I had the same problem on my Epic II 4G Touch. An extra ring solved my problem, too. Been using these cheap fisheye lenses for a long time now. They are addictive! Jelly lenses are very useful, too. Their wide-angle/fisheye lens makes the ring around the photo a bright green. Very cool.

I've also been using this protecting case for some while now,
the only adjustment i made was to replace the (in my opinion rubbish screen protector) with a Zagg HD one, it's awesome now, the belt-clip also comes in handy!
thanks
why would someone put this onhis phone? its massive, looks damn ugly, kills the dimensions of the phone and design.
only if u r a mine worker or something like that.
horrible.
good review :good:
That's the exact point. To protect your phone against a rough environment. Not all phone geeks work in an office. Some of us actually do some hard labor

Well that's your opinion, it looks like it's an ok case, I still think the ballistic offers a better level of protection.

Bleh, chubby and ugly case. I can see it protect your phone from a nuclear strike though so that's at least a plus. Any field tests?

It's survived light rain, some mud and grime and paint. LOTS of drops and an accidental throw. It's dropped face down on pavement and been fine. Corners bounce it to safety.

Yeah it's necessary to certain person to use this case
That's why I choose to review it
