HTC m8 exposure problems - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Hey do you guys think HTC will eventually update the camera to fix its red I cultus exposure problems? In daylight, it overexposes and in low light it underexposes. This is my only real problem with the camera( aside from res)

Enough complaints should do the trick, every review you read online clearly states it. Let's hope so..

Terrible video recording on one x+

Anyone else having a nightmare of a time with video recording? Compared to my original one x it's very choppy and loads of picture noise. Very very disappointed. Think I might sell it. I don't find anything else, apart from jellybean, worth the upgrade to be honest.

Hmmm i thought they might actually have tweaked the camera at least on the software side of things to make it better than one x but this turns out to be just the opposite ! Anyhow thanks because these days only real user opinions can be trusted not those reviewers !
I don't know what's going on, my HOX+ records very well... I have to guess if
1) users do something very wrong
2) there are some faulty devices out there
3) the want to troll the HOX+
Don't forget it's a smartphone and no DSLR, so you will need enough light for pics, but that's the same with all similar decives with this small sensors out there...
Mine is very very fast, get's warm but never in any way hot, battery life is great and recording of stills and video is excellent compared with other smartphones...

+1 for this.
No issues for me at all.

I love my one x camera. Stills and video are great. The one x+ stills are not quite as good but I can live with it. It's not bad by any means but the video recording is very poor. Can't live with it like this. Going to do a factory reset and see if that helps. If not I'm going to try and exchange it. I'm thinking I might have a faulty device.

Maybe a third party video recording app can fix this?
Any suggestions for 3rd party apps?
I shouldn't have to rely on them but it's worth a shot.

You might want to try this one.
Thanks. Will check it out. And report back.

Just checked the app you suggested. It's definitely better. Love the fact you can alter the bitrate. It seems to solve the blockiness and noise. Although im only checking on my phone as I'm not at home to try it in my tv. Unfortunately the chopiness is still there. Most annoying. Will have to check more when I'm home. You guys who are having no problems, what are you comparing the video recordings too? Which phones?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Just an update.
I've exchanged the phone for a new one and the stock video camera is still definitely far inferior to the original one x. Not sure if it's just a software problem but I assume it is. Can anyone else with both phones confirm this to save my sanity please.

I'll try it tomorrow and report back.

Almost guaranteed to be a software issue. HTC just looooooves to compress the living hell out of everything without giving an option to remove compression.
Thanks. Try and compare on a tv if possible

I have the same problem with poor choppy video. I did a side by side comparison with the original HOX and the video is much better than the HOX+.
Anyone else having disappointing video recording on the one x+?
And also has anybody got any 3rd party camcorder apps to recommend? I'm using LG cam at the minute but it seems a bit buggy.

Any problem for my part, j 'ai having made a concert of the group " the cranberries " and my videos photographs are splendid
Are you looking at the videos on a tv or just the phone?

Agreed...mine is terrible too. Most certainly the software. Trying Procapture, as the app listed earlier in this thread just crashes when I click on the advanced options.

Thank god I'm not going crazy. Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I'm a bit worried that not enough people have noticed this to bring it to HTC,s attention.
Hope they fix it soon or I might just keep my one x and sell this.
Shame because I love everything else about the phone.

From my recent trip
Wow...I have no pictures to show because I have yet to get the DNA, but these look amazing! Much better than my Droid RAZR camera. Even more the reason to switch!
Here's mine.. could post fix the pic a little but still pretty respectable for a camera phone .

How are finding color reproduction? Do greens look a bit too bright, with a yellowish tint?

Please post picture taken at night or at low light. thanks in advance
these pics are great, guys! what camera settings do you tend to use? i don't like the fact that auto enhance is always on with the DNA.
Can't you uncheck Auto Enhance?
I love the camera on this phone. Definitely one of my favorite features of it.
I like the camera as well. My only (small) gripe is a strange green color. Below are two pictures, both from DNA. The color on this one is great:
And on this one it's questionable (it's December and the color is like fresh young grass that just sprung up in May) :

Strange glow in pictures?

Just curious, the pictures I take with my one x+ are incredible, no doubt, but whenever I use flash in low light it produces a strange glow on most surfaces, is that normal for most cameras? and I know the hox+ doesn't have the best low light ability... Anyone else see this?
Oh and also, anyone know what's up with 1080p video? It's at like 15 fps!
Thanks!

Same with me...but mine the problem is with my case..just try open the case and shoot...see if the problem still exist
If the problem same...change the case...or you can make bigger whole for camera

Anybody having bad photo quality?

Just wonder if my Butterfly is having camera faulty or I'm just being too picky?
The picture came out of the camera looks a lot diff then wat I see on the screen b4 the shoot. And most of the time the picture is wash out and has less contrast.

It'd probably be best to post this in the section for your phone.

Ate you using the sense camera or the aosp 4.3 one? The sense takes good picks make sure your settings say full size and make sure you took off the camera lens cover if your phone is new (a lot of people miss that lol). The 4.3 camera takes horrible pics but makes great photospheres.

Using the Sense camera, and nothing stick on the lens.
But the photo does looks wash out...

Here do this before you take the pic hold power of plus volume down or will take a screenshot then take the pic and post both in this thread so we can compare, is it in low light?
Sent from my VIPER DNA EDIT: o god just got on my pc and saw how horrendous that looks lol. What i want you to do is hold power and volume down at the same time, to take the screen shot.
Will try and get a subject to shoot and post here.

Any simple ways or apps to improve camera quality.

New to this forum but love the phone hate the quality of the pics.
I understand its set for 4mg pics but can be taken up to 8m.
Has anyone had luck with apps or fixes to give you over all better quality?
Thank you
Isn't the 4MP limitation due to the hardware?

It sure is! Have seen some mods to get it back to 8 but looking for more of a simple fix.
Then to that add a major marketing campaign that 4m is going to create a better pic...equals terrible pictures, focus and blur..
You must have a faulty device then. Because my quality is excellent. Picture was taken in auto mode.

I've been very happy with my picture quality. Sometimes it's like higher resolution for more zoom, but everyone I know has been impressed with how my pictures look.
