tried under the different lighting positions , all were good with SGS3.
have been using for 2 years IncredibleS , pics were much better than HOX .
any ideas agree or disagree wit me ?
Hox has very good camera module, you need to play a bit with settings. On auto sometimes it's crappy.

You shouldn't use widescreen mode in widescreen mode you don't have 8mpx you will have just 6 mpx set sharpness to -1 and iso to 100 and this should be the best config for the hox

Use some camera tweak and then you will see some changes.

Personally i'm using sharpness -2, iso & exposure depends on situation and after photo is taken i'm correcting white balance (not always) in editor (because in camera options htc didn't include all AWB settings :<). Photos are grainy but there is a lot of details... overall it's a decent shooter with really clever interface.
I'm a real photographer in real life.. and I always play a lot with my toy camera a.k.a LOMO that still using negative as module.. and what I saw here is modern people style thinking.. my friend, my sensei(teacher) tell me this.. 'a good photo come from a good photographer, not a good camera'.. just use iyapota mod..
and here is sunny day configuration,,
exp = +1
cont = +2
Sat = +1
sharp = +1
ISO = 'it sunny, so test it with low iso 1st and make sure when you are using camera, turn you phone brightness to max so you can see if the photo failed'
Hope this help a little.. For night or dark.. we need a better sensor to focus.. so I always bring torch with me so I can light up subject for focusing before I snap.
shouldnt i select widescreen ?

It all up to you.. it doesn't matter wide or not.. I always use wide.. just make sure you shooting with correct light sources.. that actually what every photographer should know.. low light will giving you a great picture sometime with our f2.0 aperture but any picture still need correct light value to light up photo.. So keep try to find a good and compatible setting for you need. And don't compare picture when it still in phone.. better use pc to see the real quality of a picture. And you need to love the camera so you can learn to use it. Here some sample.
Auto Mode
Sunset Mode
Low Light Panorama
HDR
Or just head to this Thread to see how great our camera if we know how to use it well
Hope it help you.

Are you sure about this? The many comparisons I have seen online always show the One X having deeper colours and less noise in low light. Pictures taking on the S3 seem a little... bland.

My last phone was an IncS and I have to say the HOX outperforms it. While the megapixels are the same, the quality of the lens is better and the image chip in the HOX is better and produces better photos.
Regardless, if I need to take any photos, I use my dslr.

Yup! Correct! It actually need to base on our purpose 1st before saying it is good or not.. Let me give you a situation.. You need to snap 100 of people in one picture.. And you'll need to use a higher mp so when we try to zooming closer when viewing in pc or media viewer it will not have distort face..

Exactly. All that matters is a bigger lens to capture more light, type of sensor and focal ratio
Desire hd camera IS THE BEST HTC has made to date it leaves the hox dragging behind faraway with it image processor and fast shutter ( nobody cares about how fast they take the shot HTC but rather the end result picture quality)

Is there another market camera app or something else to replace the one on CM7? I cant shut off the camera click noise and there is no tap to focus and a few other things.
I for one would like to have the HTC camera app on CM7, but I doubt it will happen due to the possible framework differences.
I was looking for exactly the same thing. Installed CM7RC2, and the only thing I've found lacking was the camera app, which just doesn't come close to the one on the stock HTC rom.
I've just tried out Camera360, and been looking at reviews for Camera ZOOM FX, but both seem to be focused on applying a wide range of effects rather than improving the actual process of taking a photo. To my knowledge, neither had tap-to-focus.
Anyone know of a different app that might do the job a little better?
You can try the MIUI Camera app. The only problem is it doesn't have the ffc, but it's so much better than the stock CM7 one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984279
I'm trying to figure out how to install the MIUI one and keep the stock one (to use the ffc when I need to).
I use vignette.. Set the resolution to 8M and superfine quality.. Man, that thing takes a photo at 4mb.. Really good image quality.. Definitely first choice..

Second vote for Vignette; costs a couple of pounds and is well worth the price. A ton of brilliant effects, and the image quality without effects is outstanding. I don't think I've used the HTC camera app once since I got this.

First thing I noticed when I bought the phone was it's powerfull 8.1 mpix camera with eXmor sensor and other cool stuff, but thing that really upset me was picture compression thing, it doesn't matter what picture I take it doesnt go over 2MB's, the hugest photo I've taken is sunset photo it was 2.44Mb, but it was only once, I ask just for some modification to the camera or any application that would help me push the phone camera to the limit, any fix for colors they are not saturated enough sometimes, thanks in advance!!!

Yeah, I know thank you anyway, I dont lose hope
Just happen to find this thread and looked into it and made the needed adjustment... But I loaded the same picture in Photoshop with the compressed version VS the uncompressed one and there is an increase in the quality. It's nothing much that you can really see but it's there.
Cheers.
Second day on my HTC One X, I feel its very good in terms of everything but Camera. I had an Amaze 4G before. HOX's camera is way too noisy compared to Amaze's. Does any one else feels the same? I have a UK model HOX bought off eBay. Please tell if i am wrong regarding the camera. It might be my personal issue. If you think that, please suggest any way to get rid of the noise. I somewhat experience it in the day light too.
Below are the two images one from HOX and other from Amaze. (Sorry for these pics, that is my hukka coal)
From left 1st one is from HTC One X and 2nd is from Amaze.
You can definitely see the difference of noise and resolution.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Lets start with the most basic question, did you focus correctly and did you hold your phone steady without too much movement?
Agree on some points that the picture captured with amaze was better with less noise. Had Amaze before SGS Note. Also, the dedicated camera button was excellent with Amaze for caps.The video quality was superb and lot smooth.
Good thing about One X is the shutter speed. The Full HD capture with One X is not smoother like Amaze also with less bitrates.

@Op,
Deleted my post as I don't want to start a flame war.
To my opinion you opened this thread in the wrong forum, start reading the forum rules.
Amaze, never heared of it, don't care neither.
This is HTC One X forum, and not everybody jumped from Amaze to One X.

Let's not exaggerate, the One X camera is at least 400,000 times Better than that on the DHD (yes, intentional irony)
But, the DHD had a CRAP camera.
And the One X, has one of the best, albeit with too much compression.
Absolutely not. My One X pictures are extremely noisy, while the DHD pictures are nice and crisp. The DHD pictures are far more superior, its not even close.

Tip, change ISO to 100 and make a picture during daylight with your HOX.
Bye bye noise.

Ok so people agree on the noise problem. I wanted to hear that. I thought my phone problem. Did any one try the HTC Amaze 4G Camera Application on HOX? I am not rooted currently and not willing to do the same until I figure out a way for bad photos, then i can decide whether or not to sell off HOX. Please can anyone do that for me?

I know it's not even close...
the DHD has an Atrocious camera.
While the One X puts out very impressive pictures, crisp clear and vibrant, while being realistic.
Are you using the camera right? You aren't holding your hand over the lens are you?
no problem with mine, no noise for me, but I do know how to take photos with a camera...

If that's really the case and you're not just trolling, either you have a faulty HOX or you are completely clueless when it comes to using the camera. I've come from a DHD to a HOX and the improvement is staggering.
We have enough existing camera threads. Please use on of these instead of creating a new thread.
Closed.
Since both devices have the same HTC ImageChip DSP, they both should perform the same, right? Apparently no. According to PhoneArena, "The HTC One S takes slightly oversaturated photos with good contrast and amount of detail. The colors are colder in the case of the One X, and it has more accurate color representation with white balance a bit off in some shots." To me, the shots look better on the One S. You can check it here: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-One-X-vs-HTC-One-S_id3005/page/3
Any idea how to improve the one x's cam?

Hi mate, I havent heard the One S is better before, but shall take a read of that link.
But I have asked this question before, and didn't get an answer. (NOT HERE ON GOOGLE!)
I wanted to know, surely theres some tweaks etc you can perform to get the most out of the camera, but I'm no means a camera nerd and havent got a clue what makes a picture better, apart from MegaPixel and ive been told thats nothing to do with quality, just how big you can blow it up.
Anyone have any tips for improving the HTC One X cam?
**edit** : looked at your link.
I definately agree the HTC One S pictures are alot better. What gives?

Thanks mate, taken a look but I'm not on a custom ROM :/
I think im going to HAVE to root my device soon, once I get over the nerves of no warranty !!
Actually, I do know for sure that this is due to crappy JPEG compression. (You can use a third party app like Camera Zoom FX) But still if it is because of that, and the One S is using the SAME camera and software shouldn't it be about the same?

OK, I don't know if my hox is faulty or this is a bug in all of them,
so I ask,
How close can you focus the camera on your hox ?
On my device I can't focus less then 0.5-0.7 meters
and that seems odd couse my old nokia could take
great pictures from even 10cm ...
Well I can easily takes pictures of spiders and stuff like that, pretty close.

I've managed to take a picture of a sushi menu from about 5-7 inches away from the surface? I'm a freak for properly focused images, so was pretty happy that with the JB update, the camera seems to be able to focus closer than on ICS.

It's possible, but the camera sometimes seems to go nuts and not focus properly, focusing the background and not the thing you want to take the pic of. Even with touch to focus ^.^

For Macro there is a Macro mode given in the camera scenes, beside that after JB update this has been fixed, and focus is like a charm + touch to focus nd shoot is also added. you'll simply love your camera

Every phone I've had has taken good close pictures without a macro mode. But ok, I put macro mode on and still it can't focus well. I just did a test tonight...took a EVO 4G, a one s and my HOX and they all took a great picture of the ingredients of my coke. My HOX had it all blurry, even in Macro mode. It sucks.

Was on purpose, the leaf is not parallel to the phone only half of it is focused. Let me search another pic that looks better.
But is still tricky, it does not always focus perfectly in Macro.. and when it doesn't work I just close the camera app and try again.

It does makes me angry, because I got specifically the HOX for the Quad-core, 32GB, great screen and camera...Although, I works like charm, and I got JB already, the camera is disappointing. I take pictures everyday since I manage social networks and my phone isn't living the expectations. I need to see if it can be repaired somehow and how much would it cost me.

I believe it must be a bug in software ...
When I try to focus on something close, the phone
IS ABLE to get focus for a moment and then losses it.
(Can't lock the focus)
Any chance it's fixable by some software update?
