Before the photo is taken everything looks excessively grainy, but it seems that the dual LED's fix that right up. Unfortunately, video looks really bad at night.

It has nothing to do with the Dual LED's. Daytime shots in good light do not trigger the LED's so making statements like that only causes confusion. The grainy aspect is for quicker response times on the screen as you don't need high resolution screen quality to shoot high quality pictures. You just have to make sure it's in focus and what you want to shoot.
Videos looks really bad at night because you are using a PHONE CAMERA and LENS. Turn on the LED's with the Torch APP and light the way for a little better night video shooting.
Heck of a lot better than IPHONE right? No flash = no night time shots.

Have you removed the plastic from the camera? I have some friends who.didn't realize it had a plastic.

[Q] Focusing Issues?

So, is anyone else having focusing issues when you get nice and close?
I've moved over from a Nexus S, which could get reasonably close to objects when taking photos and still manage to focus on them... but I'm finding the auto-focus on the One X simply refuses to latch onto the things I point it at.
Is it just me, a software issue, or can the camera on this thing not get that close?
A couple examples below. Red = where I touched, green = where it focused.
The remains of my SIM to micro-sim conversion.

My colleague's horrible banana (simultaneously less and more gross than you're expecting, but sfw)
Ugh, I'm not allowed to post outside links. Hopefully those images worked.
Edit: Score, they worked!

I have the same problem with mine. I can't get the camera to focus on close objects, even when setting it on macro mode.
I hope it's only a software bug that can be fixed.
JP.

Macro mode?
Hmm. Maybe I should look for that.
Yeah, I'm hoping it's something that gets sorted out in 1.28... whenever that comes out. Soon, please.

Me as well... Tried it today with no luck... It refuses to focus when I get really close... Tried turning on Macro "close up" mode and it still didn't focus...

I also just gave it a shot, no good. I'm going to be really sad if this is not a software issue

I've seen a ton of macro close-ups on the web shot with the x, look in the best pictures thread...there a bunch of nice macros...I agree though, the field of focus is rather small and inconsistent in some...others look fine. hopefully it does get worked out for all.

it should be due to the limitation of the F/2.0 lens

Are you saying the limitations with close-up shots is because of the F/2.0 lens?

What's your opinion on the camera?

One of the things HTC wanted to highlight about the One family is the camera.
Tell me - what is your opinion on the camera? Good, bad?
I personally think the 5MP camera is pretty decent, but I wanted a better focus on close up images. Not necessarily a macro mode, but the focus on stuff around 2-3 inches away from the camera is pretty bad.
Also, I think the shutter speed is great. The effects are icing on the cake.

It was the camera that made me get this phone. Limited budget, I was going to get a Samsung galaxy ace, but when I saw the quality of this camera I upped my budget by £5 a month. As for close ups, this was about 3 inches from the camera without me having to go into settings. If you want it to focus on a certain spot, just tap it on the screen.

I'm a little biased, because i own a 15 megapixel Kodak. But compared to my old optimus v, this camera is great.

I also had an optimus v. Still do actually, but compared to that thing, the one V actually takes pictures. The still frames during video is probably my favorite feature.

It does that? I haven't tried!

Yes it does. When you record video, there is a camera button on the interface.
Also, when you review the video through the stock gallery, there is a snapshot button for the video in case you missed it live.

Is this picture quality normal??

First of all, I've been meaning to make this thread for a very long time. I got the M7 about 3 months ago, and I noticed that the pictures don't come out very good.
I'm rooted, using a Google Play rom (4.4.2), and using the new Google Camera app to take these pictures.
But my problem is, most of my pictures come out like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And what I noticed happens is:
When I'm looking through the camera, the picture LOOKS fine.. and then as soon as I hit the camera icon to take the pic, the images automatically just blurs itself out. It seems like it wants to focus, but it ends up just becoming super blurry.
Then I can click ANYWHERE on the screen to focus, but then the rest of the images becomes blurry.
Any suggestions please? I don't even enjoy taking pictures anymore because of this.

Definitely not normal. My phone takes phenomenal pictures. Only downside is occasionally in really dark areas; the white balance is off a little. Here ill attach a few in a minute.

Examples

Defiantly not normal. I would try a different rom before saying its the camera.
attached is a pic i took with the Google Camera app but running Bucks AOSP build 4.4.3
you might want to try his rom, it's like GPE but without the bugs that follow from a port sometimes.

OP may wanna try updating firmware and maybe try 4.4.3 GPE posted here, instead of 4.4.2.
It has improved quite a bit in my opinion.

Make sure you aren't in lens blur mode

Oh and another thing; although I'm sure you already tried this; wipe your lens with a clean t-shirt or microfiber cloth (comes with glasses). Sometimes Ill touch my lens; and even if i don't have greasy fingers, a slight smudge can really destroy a photo.

Some cloudy on camera sensor problem

what is the best i can do about it?

Show more shots, is it always in the same place ?

Does it show this in pictures of other things as well, not LCD screens?
Your picture looks kind of like it might be showing something related to a moire pattern.

You have two "screen door" type devices, the LCD screen, and the camera's sensor, both in-play together.
What about a picture of something else with small details across the whole image? Like a rug, couch cushion, something like that.

Have this on my note 4. Blemish stays in same spot. All of my photos have it

Piece of dust on the lens inside the phone. Get it exchanged.
