Is it just this model phone? I'm running viper ROM and using stock kernel. It just seems very grainy, could it be from the ROM?
I read on the HTC sight that it has bad quality when taking regular photos..not for sure tho...check it out yourself

Upload a photo to see. In a dark shot it will look alil grainy on screen pics come out fine tho.
No, it's the phone. The camera stock settings are crap. In fact, the whole design of the camera is not up to standard with the rest of the phones.
They dropped the ball on that part when they made this phone. It is now up to the community to correct the companies error. Hopefully a good camera port will come soon.

I will agree on some of the phones there were camera issues. So far I haven't ran into any yet. The phone does take some excellent shots.
The amaze camera port is great.
The Amaze Camera works completely on our phone? Holy crap.
Yea I second the Amaze camera its really good. Now we just need a kernel base with no shutter lag.

Thank you!
I will test the Amaze Camera!
I also think that the camera pictures aren´t good
mine takes great pics... just saying.
Yep, the Amaze camera is not too shabby. I'd recommend it.
What's your favorite thing about the new EVO? Dedicated camera button? Sense 4.0 with Android 4.0? NFC? Let us know

Possibly NFC...but I have never used it before. I am thinking I am going to like this feature though.

I like that the phone has no shutter lag (supposedly), and will let you take photos while videoing. I also like the screen size, along with the resolution. In the reviews, people always seem to comment on how awesome the screen looks, so I am really looking forward to that. NFC sounds cool too.

Im excited about the camera as well. Looks like good quality (from samples ive seen) and no shutter lag. Just an overall fun camera.apk
I hate AMOLED displays for the viewing angles and hue, so I returned the E4GT and didn't even bother with the GNex. I refuse to upgrade to a phone that has less than a 4.5" screen. (Spoiled). That said, assuming the camera is on par with the E4GT, what I'm looking forward to the most is the camera. My son is very active these days and I have a daughter on the way, so being able to get good pics of them whenever and wherever is a big deal to me, and let's face it, the OG EVO camera has always sucked. Quick shutter speed, high aperture, wide angle, BSI sensor, dedicated imaging processor, stills during video capture, dedicated camera button. Hell, even as a gimmick feature, the slow motion recording sounds fun.
The camera easily, after playing with the One X's camera , I look forward to it.
XDA Since 2007...
I'm in for the faster cpu, larger screen, and more memory. Although I have all animations turned off, the original evo is lacking in the cpu dept.
I chose this over the One X and SGS3 because of the dedicated camera button, kickstand, micro sd card, great screen, and slim profile... coming from the original EVO 4G. But... if i had to pick one.... the camera button. Why doesn't everyone have this?
S4 chip, kickstand, real ics. Those three are making me upgrade from my og EVO

Yeah, other than the pre-order drama, I am really excited to use the camera button. I didn't have an EVO 3D and I have been taking more and more photography lately with my EVO 4G. Can't wait to see how the camera button affects this new hobby of mine lol.
Camera was the big one for me. Honorable mention goes to the screen, camera button (wasn't a fan of the round one on the E3D), slimness, and KICKSTAND!!!!
Anyone know if the cam button can be used as a shortcut button to open the camera?

Yes, hit the shutter button and the camera app opens. Not when it's locked though.
The camera button is the big feature? Has no one ever had this before? I know my EVO 3D, does, but it isn't new to that device. The PPC-6800 had it back in 2007 and I think my PPC-6700 did too. The Evo 4G is about the only phone I think I've had recently that didn't have the button. It is like they were trying to mimic Apple too much.
The Nexus s 4g, G2, HTC Hero, Galaxy Nexus, T-bolt all phones I had. None had a camera button. I had a ppc-6700 too but I wasn't trying to take pictured with that. The camera was horrible. Oh I had a EvO too.

Hey people first off all I would like to say that I recently bought myself a new shiny S3 and so far love it. The one thing however that disapoints me is the quality of camera. I had an iP4s before this phone and I must say that it took much much better quality pics than S3 especially in low light situations. The difference in quality cannot be unseen, the pics are supernoisy even without zooming. So I'm asking, is it possible that I maybe got a defective camera on my phone? This fact really annoys me because I tend to use camera on my phone quite often.
I took this the other day - would you sat it is poorer quality that what your iPhone shot?

theres been huge comparisons between the 2 cameras. Theres a thread on here that compares them in a bunch of different conditions and if i'm not mistaken the S3 edged out the 4s (sorry i dont have time to link it right now) .
GSMarena did a camera test S3 vs 4S vs OneX vs PureView and the results were (from best to worst) Pureview, S3, 4S, OneX
I guess it just depends on the way you take the pics but i have heard of some models shipping with bad camera modules... Could u post some pics maybe so that we have a comparison
Check the "pictures taken with your S3" thread.. if yours isn't taking pictures as well as the pics in that thread you may have a faulty camera. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera!

I checked that thread and it really looks like my camera is worse. I'm uploading a picture I took this morning and it really looks mediocre at least. The road is super noisy and the sky looks lie it's finger painted. Plus the overal detail of the buildings and cars is below average from what I seen in current smartphones.

basically i just turned anti shake and auto contrast off. that limits the max iso to 800. then you gotta play around with the scene settings~
Hello. I haven't used the camera much yet but i would have the iso off auto and set as low as possible. Image size at 8mp and quality set to superfine. That would be my starting point. The few photos i've taken so far didn't look rough like the one shown by op. Play with the settings and see if there's an improvement.
Some phones have Sony camera (Perfect, better that iPhone's one), but most phones have Samsung camera (Korean ****)
I was pleasantly surprised about the picture quality my SGS3 produces.
Then again I don't expect too much...

my camera is fantastic. granted it wont take the place of a standalone. even videos in the house. people are like dude. its so clear. i think they did a great job :good:
the s3 camera is ok. i still think my htc sensation took better quality pictures. the htc sensation camera has more setting options than the s3. i do a lot of photo touching in post for print ads, with photos, using a professional camera but touching up photos from the s3 vs. my old htc sensation, i would have to say that photos taken with the sensation was much better to work with. the s3 is better with video recording. i do plan to shoot a 5min short film with this phone...just cause.

This forum got some good info on the s3 camera firmware, when I got my s3 and took some photos I thought the s3 camera was crap, then when I started reading some of the review and looking at the pictures I thought something must be wrong, I flashed a custom ROM(fox hound 1.4.4 with Franco kernel) its Seemed to have fixed the the problem...

BUT the 4s'S one is better

Same for me. The pics look fine on the camera but zoomed in or on a PC they all look grainy.
Could it be a setting, maybe they are too big and don't translate well on lower res?

currently im using the note 2. I want to upgrade my contract with rogers! So now im going nuts! Cant decide between the htc one and the s4!
What I mostly do is browsing the web, texting, email, pictures. That's what I mainly do. And yes I watched all unboxing of both! I freaking cant decide. Most important to me is the keyboard while browsing or texting. My bb10 has by far the best keyboard. I do like the note 2 keyboard with the extra row of numbers.
You guys tested them and know more! Please help me deciding! The one should launch here soon in Canada.!! Witch and why? :highfive:

Do you want a device with premium quality that is built solid and has natural colors on the screen (like iPhone colors)? But don't mind the battery not being removable and no sd card? The HTC is for you.
Or do you want a light weight phone with a bigger display that is usually pretty easy to customize with removable battery and sd card slot but have more cartoonish colors on the display?
What won me over to HTC is the screen and build quality but it is different per person... The things you mentioned can be changed with a mod or app from the play store(go pro, chompsms, handsent, swiftkey etc). The only difference would be camera

Are you considering that either phone is going to feel small now that you've been using the note 2? I believe its gonna come down to personal preference . Both phones will do the things that you have mentioned and will do them very well just on a smaller screen.

I played with the phone for 30mins at the store. The keyboard impressed me with how quick it was and the swipe ability was flawless. Camera was very fast at shooting. The pics look real good and it also comes with a bunch of editing effects. Like any other phone it's not gonna take DSLR pictures but is gonna be very decent for FB and such..

The swype ability is already implemented in the stock keyboard. Its very useful for when your using one hand. And the auto correct woks like any other android keyboard. If it don't satisfy you I recommend perfect keyboard from the play store. It has the best auto correct I have seen on android. And a lot of customization like choosing from 5 different click sounds when typing.

So, I had the Note II for a little while, though went back to the S3; the Note's are just too big for me personally. Build quality, HTC One wins hands down. Camera, HTC One wins, I feel like the Samsung camera's over saturate the colors, and the exposure is a little off. Stock keyboard on the one is way better than the Note II. Screen, goes to HTC One hands down. Samsung screens over saturate and don't look like natural colors. Sound, goes to HTC One, both with headphones and the speakers on the phone. I honestly grew to love Sense 5 over Touchwiz. I am sick of Touchwiz. I have been with Samsung since the Galaxy S, I'm sick of plastic, and sick of Touchwiz.
Honestly, if I were you, get the HTC One. You won't miss the Note II, well, except for the screen. But the ppi more than makes up for it.

I played with it in stores, even the bloated AT&T model was extremely smooth. I've never felt a phone faster. My eyes couldn't see any flickers or frames lagging. Though, idk how HTC is with updates. Personally never owned one, only borrowed friends. If its not carrier branded I am sure you'll see good updates come reasonably quick. Though someone with more time with HTC devices may correct me.

HTC is just as bad as Samsung with updates.. Then the carrier takes their time with the update.
Don't expect updates to come quickly and you will be fine.
