I know the OG's camera sucks, but what I never knew was that it would suck this much.
Almost all the pictures I take with the camera are blurry from the sides like the one attached, and are okay from the middle.
Is this the hardware's fault or do I have to replace the glass on the back, it has some scratches, but I dont think scratched would cause this much distortion in the image.

To confirm, take the back cover off and snap some pictures without it. When I bought my phone (used), it was enough for me to clean the glass from inside the cover fo fix the picture quality issues.

It was the glass on the back of the lens. I got it buffed after I removed the back cover now the camera works like a charm.. Thank you.

for this. Both the front and rear cameras are really having q bad resolution. Is this a common problem? and the front camera's resolution really looks awful Can we still fix this?

Does anyone else notice a degradation in picture quality after rooting and putting custom roms on? I remember when I was unroot when I first bought my evo and I thought the camera was great, but lately it's completely washed out by light and can't take a picture without blurring even in good daylight.
I've tried it on 3 different roms, flipz, damage, and nonsense. All fairly similar with being washed out.
Any reasoning or is this known? It's starting to bug me.
I've been on Fresh's ROMs for about a week now, first 0.3 and now 0.5. I haven't noticed a change, but then again I don't use the camera much. I never had really high expectations for the camera anyway since it's just a phone, but I have to admit that it's much better than I expected.

Hey, I have a Hero. I noticed the same thing until I cleaned the camera lens with alcohol and a q-tip. Picture quality improved greatly.

I have a feeling my camera lens shield may be throwing it off.I'm going to clean and remove it to see if that helps

Turns out it was the shield for the camera lens that turned it to crap. I took it off and wiped the lens and its 20x better.
i dont know why they got resized so small. you might not be able to tell at this size but the top one is much clearer
Ok, so the the title says most of the problem.
Basically, when I got my wildfire a while back I was quite impressed with the camera, managing to take some fairly nice high quality shots.
BUT!
Ever since I rooted my phone and installed CM7.1.0.1, the camera quality has become "washy". This has not been a problem until now, as I have not had to use my camera. But yesterday I did, and the results were.... poor.
So, what I was wondering is whether or not this camera issue is due to a Hardware fault, or a software fault... should I reflash CM7.1.0.1?
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: I will try track down some old photo's and give you a comparison of what has happened to quality.
there are some camera upgrades around that i have read but cannot find anymore if anyone could provide some links that would be much appriciated as i have a poor camera too. very dark and dull with not much definition or coulor and mainly out of focus.
and no i'm not just crap at taking photos lol i think.....

Thanks trying these now... Will update you.
Edit, It's made a little difference:

From the looks of it, I had a similar problem.
Try polishing the camera with some sort of alcohol or something similar, because the lens has some kind of protective layer and might get scratched over time.
So try to remove it, it worked for me
I'm just wondering what everyone that is leaving their n5 naked is using to protect the camera lens. I don't like putting a case on my phone and opt just to protect the screen but the camera needs protection on this phone. For now I just left the protective sticker on that came with the phone until I find a replacement.

The lens cover seems to be easily replaceable. My suggestion is to just buy a new one and fix it by yourself if it breaks/scratches.

I find that the plastic "ring" around the lens is raised slightly further than the glass. You can catch it with your fingernail. So the lens wouldn't touch the surface you lay it on which was my initial concern. This is of course expecting the surface to be flat.
I should have a case today, but have not been worrying about it otherwise.
Hi,this is very weird. When I took picture to "lights" like a lamp, or a screen, i have this problem. Is this normal? If not, is there any way to repair it..

Well, firstly, have you tried using IPA to clean the camera lens? Has the phone gotten wet recently? Looks like oil smudges on camera lens. Or water underneath camera lens.

Hi, no this is not a problem of water or dust, the phone take great photos to close objects, this only happens in low light conditions, or when taking a photo to a light
It's actually natural... very few cameras won't do this

All cameras behave like this
looks like extreme lense flare, generally happens when you point at a high light source.

Yes you are right but this was too extreme. So I could not believe it.
I used cleaning alcohol on the lens glass and now it's totally gone

Dude your pointing at the sun.... A very very VERY high and powerful light source what do you expect to happen......

No your camera is not defective. That is what happens when you point a camera at a very bright light source.
My Note 10+ dont behave like this if i shoot direct sun, neither all of my gadgets with CMOS sensors. This behaviour are very common on CCD sensors.
