Hi all, I have been noticing a constant problem w/ my stock 3D EVO -- The camera takes great pictures when in 2D, but the "right" lens for the camera always produces a very "blurred" image, almost like one is nearsighted and needs glasses. I just bought the phone a week ago, and has been like that with every picture I've taken. I've cleaned both lenses multiple times, and still have that issue. Looking at a 3D video on my laptop, it's drastically more "dull" than the left side. It's this way on the phone as well.. Anyone had this issue or know what could be causing it? Any fix? Unless I missed something in search, didn't see any complaints.

Hey all.
I just got a new HTC Titan, which I originally thought to be fantastic as a shooter, however having taken sample pics over 3 days, to say I am dissapointed would be the least.
I've attached some images and I was wondering if you can determine if there is some problem with my Titan or if this is just the expected Cameria quality.
Even zooming in a tiny bit shows that everything is blurry. Looking at the keyboard, you can see all the writing on the keys are fuzzy (the top row is incomprehensible). At the building, the giant words are almost unreadable.
All shots taken with default Automatic 8MP settings. Good natural lighting.
Is this the normal quality or is something going wrong?
I don't see anything bad in these photos, except wrong focus.
I don't think so..
Never had much issues. Ofcourse not the best cam out there, but not bad either.
got vodafone-branded Titan (Europe)
compared to other WP-Devices before the Titan takes best photos...
No problems here
My camera seems to be working just fine =)
One of the big selling points for me with this phone was the camera. I am finding the pictures to be a little underwhelming. I find that half the pictures I take are out of focus, and when i try to manually focus on a target, it zooms in and out trying to figure out the image, but ultimately ends with a red square and an out of focus image. I was really hoping for a smarter camera with better results. I dont remember ever having issues like this with my last phone (HTC Rezound). I use my camera a LOT (mostly taking pictures of my kids). Should I try downloading another camera from the app store? Anyone else experiencing these issues?
I should note that outdoor, long range pictures seem to come out much better than indoor relatively close (5-10 feet) shots.
Any tips/tricks as far as settings go?
Also, when I hook up the phone to my pc and view the pictures, they are all rotated to the left 90 degrees.
So far life's good. The battery life is solid, fast charging is unbelievably impressive, screen quality is great and the speaker is impressive. Being new to LG coming from the M9 I'm not sure how to do the following with the camera: Bokeh (blurred focus shots) and Macro shots.
These were options on the M9 as camera settings.
Does anyone know if these are settings or how to set great bokeh or macro shots in manual mode? Any help would be huge. Also if anyone knows how to turn off swipe on the keyboard that would be a bonus too. Thanks in advance.
Can't help with the Bokeh. Macro shots seem to be pretty easy to take on this phone though, point and shoot.
As for the keyboard, go into keyboard settings, and turn off "Path input"
The Bokeh effect isn't on the LG Camera (yet I'm hoping) and it doesn't work on the Google Camera.
I've had a problem with the camera not focusing properly on the regular lens, not on the wide angle lens. It's happened a couple of times now. I thought the lens was just dirty but no matter how much I cleaned it, the lens just couldn't focus properly. I tried focusing on multiple items, near, far, single point, multiple points, etc, but pics were still blurry. Both times I just rebooted the phone as last resort and it seemed to fix the problem. Must be some kind of software issue. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix without having to reboot every time it happens?
Google camera work with the front camera...

Yes same problem. Is this only in Google camera for you? It was in every app for me. I had to exchange it.
It was on the built in camera app on the G5. I've since cleared the cache and haven't had the issue come up again.
In the new camera app, it appears you can't set the normal camera to take multiple pictures if you hold down the camera button. This functionality is something I used literally all the time, it is the only way to get a good not-posed picture. Also, although the light wasn't good this morning, the quality of photos seems to have become worse.
seems to have been replaced by some near useless sub-app called Time Shift, but those pica A) aren't full resolution and B) force you to pick one picture out of the 30 or so it took right now possibly missing another pic.
Does anyone know how to get a useful camera back.
I don't know it works with front facing camera, but holding down for multiple shots is still there.
So I'm a little disappointed in the camera on this phone for a variety of reasons, but when I first got it at least the portrait mode seemed pretty great. But I tested it again after having not used it in a while, and it's consistently terrible now, anyone else notice this? I've posted the first I took with what I feel are good results, and one that I took a couple weeks ago and is consistent with all of my attempts since (I've tried in full sunlight, so I don't think it's lack of light causing the issue).
The portrait mode now seems to just be a digital punch in of the wide angle lens, and lacks a lot of detail. Is there some setting that I messed up accidentally?

The first pic is taken with the front camera and the second with the rear one. Different cameras will produce different results...
Both are with the rear camera
