I put that piece of paper and the camera started to work just fine, dunno if you could solve another issue, the piece of paper next to the camera not the one with the battery

Could you please send me a photo? I didn't found the post where it's explained, in the thread you've linked
Oh, Yes, I've done it. No luck. Problem's still here.
Update: the problem got fixed for about 10 minutes, before appearing again.

Problem with screen calibration?

Hi All
I got my Desire yesterday and played around a bit with it. What I am noticing is that the screen seems to be a little bit uncalibrated. For example, when I want to click on App1, I am clicking on App2 which is underneath it. Seems like my click is effectively being hit on the screen lower than where I intended. Hope I made myself clear.
Can anybody tell me if this happens and if there is anyway to fix that?
Thanks

As there isnt a calibration utility on the desire i think that you may have to contact your provider or htc to find out whats wrong.
aww
provider you mean the shop I bought the phone from?

Yes or if its on a contract to a network like t-mobile you should contact them
ok thanks
Its not that bad actually, maybe I have to get used to it. Thought there was some setting to fix it. If it gets annoying will contact the shop.

It can be a bit different i felt like this when i first got my desire but i have now got used to it!
actually its not a fault in the touch screen cause everything works, its just when I have a list of apps and I want to click lets say on the third one, the fourth one gets launched, and not always happens.
As I said, maybe since I am new to it all so its maybe my fingers that have to get used to it.
I do not think its a fault with the device actually
I had exactly same problem, when I switched to FroYo no problems, so software issue
Hi Benko
thanks for the message. So I guess I will have to wait for the Froyo update, or else I have to root my device, however since I am a complete newbie, I am quite afraid to do that.
Hopefully the new 2.2 will also allow for SD card installations!
You can try the new ROM update from HTC, if you don't have it, personally haven't tried it but maybe it will help
Serch for latest official rom(I believe it is 1.21.405.2)
try calibrating the keyboard, I think it calibrates the screen for other inputs as well.
How do I know which ROM I have presently?

rear camera off center

I just got a G3 and the rear camera isn't centered. I can't tell if it is affecting ois or not. I'm thinking of returning it for a replacement. Anyone else have this issue?

Camera not focusing

Hey,
Anyone had or got issues with the rear camera not focusing?
It takes ages to focus and I mean 3+ minutes.
It won't do it when I tap on the screen either.
Using OOS or a custom rom?
I have the same issue also. Apparently it's a known hardware issue Contact OP for RMA
I'm using FreedomOS
i have the same issue OOS latest Beta.
Install the latest OOS stable and if it doesn't work, contact Oneplus and explain the problem. If it's a hardware problem they have to fix it (if you still have warranty).
****, I just noticed my camera has problems to start focusing. The whole picture strangely waves durning focusing. But it will focus after a couple of seconds.
I had this problem, and it nearly drove me to getting a new phone. It followed me through OS updates and many different ROMs. Not much help on the threads here, either.
My problem was that the camera would constantly try to refocus, and would never focus on the foreground...things in the background were clear, but nothing in the foreground. Videos were horrible, constant refocusing and blurring. Didn't work in 3rd party apps like check deposit on my bank app, Snapchat, etc.
I found a YouTube video of a hardware repair that seemed ridiculous, but it actually fixed the issue for me. It's not too hard to do if you don't want to wait for an RMA from OnePlus...but it literally involved sticking a staple between a magnet in the phone and the camera module. If you don't feel comfortable opening your phone up, I wouldn't attempt it, but my camera has been working perfect since I did this redneck fix.
here's a link to the video. Watch it first before trying, and if it seems like it's too much, you may have to do an RMA.
I didn't want to believe it was a hardware issues either, but this honestly did fix it for me.
Good luck!
Has anyone else tried @Redjax workaround. I'm going crazy. My camera focus problems are getting worse.
Also, has anyone of you tried a camera replacement. If so, which one, share the link.
I'm thinking on trying the staple mod first before ordering a replacement.

This problem drove me crazy. I replaced the camera 2 days ago and now camera focuses perfectly, I did try the staple mod before this but I would sometimes focus, but not all the time.

Yeah, I thought so. The staple mod is just a temporary solution. Guess I'll order a replacement. Could you share the one you purchased?

Thanks mate. Finally got my replacement module and just installed it. Although it took forever to arrive and tearing down the phone wasn't as easy as YouTube makes it look, my camera is perfect again and I'm on love of my OP3 once again :good:

I was facing the same issue from couple of months. It started after a system update, don't remember the version tough.
So visited the service center today, the people there already had info about this issue. They replaced the camera module free of cost, even after my phone warranty is over! OnePlus knew the problem and they are fixing it for free.
I got my OP3 serviced at Pune, India.

Persistent sound issue no matter what

I've done just about everything. There's a log cat below. EVERY ROM, EVERY KERNEL STOCK OR CUSTOM, this issue is there after the first reboot. Im only going to answer every question that goes like "have you tried...." With a full rundown of what I did and results. I will remind I've tried every custom nougat rom, stock or custom and I've tried stock marshmallow rom to. Also some roms haven't even had sound on first boot. Some roms will work for a bit then they will do a soft reboot that takes 30-45 minutes to complete. Then have no sound. I'm open to taking my phone apart since my screen is fu*ked up. Im begging at this point I love this phone, I've had it for 2 months, I don't want to have to buy another one.
Tried unbrick tool yet? That may have a slightly different effect than just flashing stock ROM (as it completely nukes the device and installs everything again).
Anyways, you may have a hardware issue. In that case taking the phone apart won't do much ... You can only check the connections, that's about it.

I did actually brick it awhile back trying to solve that damn sound issue. I used the mega unbrick guide to fix it, I can try again. Cause hell who knows it might fix it. Thanks for the recommendations.
Found out it is hardware i narrowed it to the aux port board which is what the fingerprint sensor, microphone, speaker connect to. I'm ordering a new part tomorrow for it

and what's the issue is it a software probleme or hardware !!
i will be appreciated for help me ✌
It's most likely a hardware issue. Many people are facing this. Just type in "pixel camera not working" and you'll see a lot of articles talking about it. Permanent fix is to replace camera module

No. You can check if camera is damaged using a strong neodymium magnet. Just google this.

I did google and saw that. I am hoping someone on here reads this and explain why freezing my phone makes the camera work
I don't know. I don't recommend doing this since the water will condense on the internal parts of the phone (warm and cold difference) and you risk shorting something out or you risk damaging the battery.
