Hello!
Recently I'v opened a thread on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510661
about having problem with camera that left side of pictures is a blurry and without colors, it's hard to notice, but it's noticable...
I'v sended phone in service center, they gave it back and said that they switched camera, and reinstalled software on phone.
Today I got it back and here are pictures with phone (nothing modded, tweaked, rooted etc...)
Some pictures are blurry because of my hand... but check the rest
also to view FULL RESOLUTION photos you'll see in right corner up a magnify.
I would really appriciate to help me:

The blur is mostly due to you moving when you take the pic. The Evo 3d doesn't have ZSL or even anything remotely close, the picture snap time is prob in the 100-200ms range so even breathing will blur pics.
Think so?
This is the picture taken FIRST day my E3D was bought:

So I noticed I received the firmware update to the camera earlier today, and also of course came the ICS update. Anyways, I started trying out the rear facing camera, it looks fine but when I go to take a picture, the picture saves as just the color green. Its as if you use ms paint and just color the whole screen green. There's no traces of the actual picture. Its just a green screen basically.
The camera was definitely working fine yesterday. Does anyone have an idea of whats going on. I also tried it with Camera ZOOM FX, it does the same thing. Front camera is fine as so is Video.
Was your issue look similar to this pic.

If so then you are not alone. It seem that we are in the same boat. Here is the link the post started by another member.

thanks its very similar. my view finder is fine. its after the picture is taken. I get a pure green screen saved. hope it was the update that messed it up and not hardware. waiting for an ASUS response.
I've seen this issue on two ROMs now where I take a picture and rather than ending up with the sharp review picture shown on the screen right after, I end up with a blurry image that was taken about 1/4 second later. I've seen this running both Euphoria and Slim. I'm wondering if it's a known issue that I haven't been able to find info on (I've searched but most people just seem to care about FFC) or if somehow I'm causing this.
If you aren't sure if you're seeing this but have a moment to experiment, try the following:
1) Get your significant other, family member or friend to stand in a brightly lit room.
2) While you're aiming your camera at them have them start turning in a circle. Doesn't have to be fast but shouldn't be really slow either.
3) Take their picture and remember the position they were in when the review still was displayed after the picture was taken.
Now compare your memory of what the camera showed to you with the result in the gallery.
I consistently see that the picture that was stored was taken about 1/4 second after the review I saw after taking the picture. It's also usually less sharp.

btw, the problem can also be shown by just panning the phone and taking a picture during the pan. If you end up with something recognizable in the review image you may find that the final image doesn't match.
Hmmm.. all seems well in ICZenwich
Hmm. Wish I had the luxury of installing ICZ just to find out if that camera doesn't have the problem or if this is a problem with my phone somehow, or how I'm restoring apps badly. I'm otherwise happy with Slim so I'm reluctant to install a new ROM since I just put this one on a couple of days ago.
If nobody else chimes in I'll try ICZ this weekend.

Here some sample of picture I took with ICZenwich, Just basic setting.
mostdef, I think you've misunderstood the problem. None of those images show motion. With the subject standing still you'd never see the problem I'm describing. It's when the subjects are in motion or the camera is in motion (panning) that you may see the issue.
I've also seen it on Slim and Zen.
Looks like the actual picture is taken a sec after the camera display actually clicks and show you the preview. The trick is to remain still after the camera says its taken the picture. You get a picture that is a sec after the phone assume you take it. However, if you move the phone right after the camera clicks, then the picture is ruined. Same thing as if you take a picture as your arm is moving.

I'm glad it's not just me or my phone but that's messed up.
The biggest issue is that the review picture the camera shows is not what you end up with. There's no point in having the review image show up after a picture is taken if it's going to be wrong.
It doesn't matter how still you hold the camera if what you're taking the picture of is in motion.
I can't believe more people aren't talking about this

Are you talking about moving the camera around that look like it jerky on motion or are you talking about moving object?
I installed the BoA mobile banking app. It came with a check deposit feature. That said, you need to take two pictures, one of the front another of the back. I had no issue to take the image of the front of the check, but had trouble to take the back side.
The back side of the check is relatively white/blank, so it's hard for the camera to focus, and I cannot just tap the check to change the focus point.
Any one experienced this and had a solution?

Have you tried taking a photo while it still appears blurry (maybe in camera app so as not to send a blurry pic to the bank) ?
I often take photos of things up close and while they may appear blurry, even after I tap to focus, they come out quite sharp... Anyway, probably worth a try!
Have you tried any camera apps from Google Play?

A long shot from my photography book ...
But the auto focus in the camera needs a contrast color as a reference point ...
As you know ...the camera ignores the white color as empty space ...and looks for solid base colors to focus against ...
If your bank will allow it ...you can set the check on top of a dark piece of paper ...as this may assist the lens with focus distance.
Or ..if you are allowed to sign your name on the back in black ink ...that would help also ..
And of course ....distance from the image is important too ...
Stay out at least 12 inches or more and zoom manually if needed to capture .
That's my .02 on the camera ....g

Thanks for your tips!
I actually have signed the check with black ink, but it's on top of the check, which means, when I tried to focus on the check, the camera by default always used the central point to focus. I cannot write anything below the line, which may void the check.
Currently the only effective way that I can take a sharp image was under bright light. That said, a normal 40w ceiling light won't work.

Also put the check on a black background and then take the front and back pictures. I had the same trouble until I put the check on my black keyboard and took the pictures and it works the first time.
Now that feature is crashing the app on version 4.2.55 of the BofA app.
I use B of A app to deposit my checks. My app has little corner guides. When u get them lined up around the corners of the check push the button. I dont even look at the focus or anything else. Photo comes out fine and bank accepts it..

I can say that the Chase App check deposit works just fine

Sorry if I'm reviving an old thread, but I had the same problem and got it to work at least for me. At first I was trying to line up the check's corners with the guide corners in the app when taking the picture. It kept having a problem until I finally zoomed out a little bit. I guess having the camera that close to the check wasn't allowing it to focus correctly. Hopefully that helps someone else.

Actually the root cause is that the camera always wants to focus on the central point. That's why it can focus the front side of the check - there are a lot of contents, but not the back side - it's all white and blank.
BoA seems to accept a pen on top of the check image and I successfully did it multiple times.
Zoom out seems to be an other solution, too.
Thanks!
Recently after working 100% fine my Unlocked AT&T HTC one x+ started absorbing way too much light when I take photos, I haven't changed any of the photo options and can't figure out what the issue is, do i need to reinstall the stock camera apk? Any help would be great first pic when focusing on an object inside second pic when focusing on the object outside third Outside daylight photo
Did you try another camera application? My friend has a One M7 and thanks to the Ultra Pixel crap after some time his photos got wrong colours. He sent it to the repair service.

I did. Still get the same results
Same issue here, I thought it was just me.
So as crazy as it sounds I had some luck getting better photos by cleaning the lens with tooth paste. It buffed out some scuffs and things. Not a complete fix but it helped. First pic focus outside Second pic focus insinde
Hello , so i have a pretty long story and i would like you to help.
First off, i went to a beach or whatever its not really important, then i wanted to kinda show off my phone to somebody, so ive put it into water. It was not deep, i didnt even stick the whole phone in it, and the flap was tight closed. I then saw it has kind of some condensation inside the lens of my camera, i was pretty scared, so i checked and made a photo with it which probably lead to the problem. The watersensitive thingy still remains white so the water didnt go trough the flap. But lets get into the problem after about 10 lines of text.
i wanted to dry it out and i were outside so ive put it into a pocket of my coat and the condensation went away after like 4h. But what i noticed, the camera was not working, it just crashed the app. Also the flashlight , it even disappeared from the quick settings menu. I wanted to wait for it to maybe work again and it did. But i couldnt switch to ANY mode besides auto. I took some photos which were decent quality, the the app crashed, and when i reopened it it was glitching out like hell, i reopened it again and it was fine. I wanted to make a photo again but when i shot it, i heard like repeatedly shutter sound from the hardware camera, not from my speakers, and i just quickly turned off the camera. And it went down again, no camera, no flashlight. I waited like 10 days more and today, like 20 mins ago its back, but i still cant switch the mode. It works and all but i dont want to shoot any photos yet. Is there any fix, did anybody experience that?
Edit: i have took a photo and it didnt look terrible but i can only shoot in 5mp max, also the front camera has all these red and pink pixels like a very low end one, even worse, but the post processing makes it look pretty normal
Okay, so some strange things happened, when i wanted to make some photos i first noticed the screen is on full brightness but when i go into the camera its still full but the brightnrss is lower until i turn off the screen, also when i changed to the front camera i noticed its better, but when i switched it back the camera crashed, and the flashlight setting disappeared for a second, i dont want to use the camera and let it chill for a while
now i can shoot photos in 23mpx, but still can't switch to any mode, this is gonna be a fun ride...
