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...

Are they in the same place in every photo you take?
If so it looks like you may have some kind of contaminates on your lens / sensor.
I'd send it back to HTC and they should fix or replace it for you.
If it was a DSLR you could use a Rocket Blower to try and shift them but I don't think it would do much good on the tiny DHD camera

yes they are. i'll send an email to the shop i bought it in and hear what they say about it

Most likely dust on the sensor. Was it like that when you bought the phone?

Usualy dust on the lenses appear as bigger blurred spots. Those sharp edges on the black spots should mean that there is something wrong with the sensor (dust or a faulty sensor). The fact that they appeared at a later stage is truobleing - it could mean that the sensor is not sealed properly. Have you tried to take a picture at a bright light souse (a lamp for example) to see if they are still visible. If they are that should mean sensor failure. Are they visible while taking the shot or while shooting a video?
Anyway, you should take it for repair, they have to do something for that, but if you are rooted, S-OFF and/or have installed custom ROM, be sure to return your phone to stock condition, because they will void your waranty if they see you have done these things to your DHD.

Hi tkolev! Thanks for the precious info. I have a similar problem with my camera. I see a black patch on a fixed position in images as well as videos. Its just there when I turn my camera on.
Here's my thread.

FYI When i focus it towards a bright light source, it disappears..

[Q] need help with a strange screen problem

I have an HTC Desire Bravo and it suddenly developed this screen issue.
I uploaded images of the phone to my flickr. It seems that perhaps the lcd oil has leaked or maybe water has gotten in. I'm sure it was caused by pressure on the screen as the LED backlights are more visible round the sides now and the inside screen (LCD) seems curved outwards but the outside (digitizer/touchscreen) doesnt seem bent. anyway here's the links to my pictures, If anyone finds a way to fix it without sending it off to get a new screen please let us know!

In order to fox the screen yourself it literally requires you take take apart the ENTIRE phone from back to front. I'm sure you can find a guide on Google, but you'd be really putting your phone at risk if you haven't got any experience with this.

You can't fix this yourself.. needs to be sent for repair, you'll only make it worse mate

I kinda figured. I was hoping to see if it was possible to open the phone and just blow air between the screen and digitizer.. that way i could theoretically pop them apart with like a bit of surgical tubing and an industrial strength blower.
But if the screen isnt connected with a ribbon and is just silicon stuck on then i'm not doing it. HATE that silicon ****.
Oh and thanks bortak

I had the same problem on my Samsung jet. It's a LCD leak. U can fix it ur self but it is very complicated and requires you to dissassemble your phone ..

Cheapskate's DIY Macro Lens

Inspired by this thread.
Since it's raining outside today Imma stick indoor and carry out this small project that I've had in-mind for quite sometime
What I used:

-A cheap PnS camera, in this case I used a Kodak Star MD300 but I guess any camera is fine.
-A screwdriver.
-A scissor.
-3M foam tape.
-My N5 with Nilkin case on.
Disassemble the camera and take this little plastic gem out:
Put two stripes of 3M tape on the case, close to the lens:
And then just put the lens on top and push it gently to secure it:
Make sure the lens are aligned by get a blank image and look at it through the N5 camera, of course there will be darkened corners (vignetting) but make sure they are even:
And that's it, your are good to go.
Here are two samples:

Congrats for your project, the result is impressive!

i tried to do it with this camera http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news/articles/story_5706.html but it didnt work.
I dont know if its not the right lens but all i could see from N5 was a blur picture.
Maybe it dont need to be a digital camera?Can you help?

What we did here is actually putting a close up lens on the N5 so you have to put the phone very close to the subject to get a sharp picture.

The blackened area is the "blur" i am reffering to .

That's a design feature. Just like if you open the built in browser, and close all tabs, you will see the same thing. There's nothing wrong with it.

Is there any way to remove it? ...it shows up on all pictures taken with the front facing camera and its kind of annoying.

I may of misunderstood you. I thought you only saw it when the camera was open, and not in an actual picture. Can you post an actual picture to see exactly what it looks like? Maybe your lens is dirty. Like something is smudged on it?

I double checked the lens is clean and there are no scratch marks or cosmetic damage anywhere on my phone...the picture above is what it looks like

Actually I have seen some people complain about piece of plastic inside a phone moves out of position and partially covers the lens, which does look like what you have. Look close under good light, maybe you can see it? If this is the case, either watch youtube video how to open the phone and DIY, or send it to Samsung for fix. If that's not it, then maybe some internal fault with camera, so again Samsung warranty repair or you could buy replacement camera for something like $10-$15 and replace yourself if warranty is not an option.
