Desire camera issue - fotos fuzzy in the middle

I seem to have an issue with my desire's camera.
Fotos are always fuzzy in the middle, when the focus is farer than 5 meters away. no matter which resolution or setup i choose. The autofocus dosn't work like it should - only the edges are correctly focused.
Please tell me that it's just a software bug... is there a chance to solve this?

Is there anything on the lens or the cover? Could be a smear or other obstruction

Thanks for the answer but no. It's clean.

my first desire had to go back and be replaced as the camera wouldn't take pictures that were in focus (even though the autofocus feature would appear to work), so I would recommend swapping this for another device

Light on Track Pad?

This is a dumb question but it seems to me the track pad should have a light. Just wondering I'd it is supposed to but I have a bad phone.Does the dinc have an lcd for the track pad?

The track pad doesn't have a light. The notification light is next to the ear piece if that's what you were looking for.

I understood what he meant...there isn't a light there...your notification light is at the top of the phone.

my trackpad lights up black? No one else has this function?
But seriously, umm, there's no led or "lcd" in our trackpad. The optical trackpad was the replacement for the trackball (which on several devices..nexus one, g1, hero light up).

Ha ha. Maybe mine lights up black also. If so the problem is that the light is stuck on

Seriously??
The trackpad uses light to devtect movement so obviously there couldn't be a light in it. Think of it as a eye

I wear a lantern helmet to look at my track pad.

It uses an infrared light, can't see it to the human eye.

The droid incredible does have a light. Thats Why Its called An optical trackpad. Their is a small infrared light in the center of the track pad that reads your finger movements. Kind of like the red light you see on the bottom of some modern computer mouses. If you are in a dark room and start using the track ball; you tilt the phone at an angle you can see a red light inside. You can also see it as you are unlocking the locksceen.

The glass dome that makes the center of the optical pad is a very very dark red tint, the same that remote controls have covering their infrared leds.

I know Its dark red. I said that their was an optical light inside. That is what tracks the movement. You cant see it when the phone is off. If you are in a dark room and look at the track pad while unlocking the phone, you can see it. You can also see it right after you use it, then it dims when not in use.

Concentrate harder

Infrared light is not visible to the human eye so maybe ur seeing a leak of light from the screen

That's a possiblility. But I'm still most posative that I see a light stemming from a small optical diode slightly below the trackpad.

What actually tracks the movement is a bad quality video camera and not the infrared light itself... The video lens reads the imperfection of you're skin and that's what makes it work if you took something really smooth against it you wouldn't see any reaction.... But yes there is infrared light because video lenses can see infrared light.

If I rub my eyes real heard for a minute I can see my track pad light and my wifi signals.

For what it's worth, the infrared emitters in both the trackpad and proximity sensor are not perfect and do bleed into the visible red part of the spectrum. It's not beyond belief that somebody might be seeing this.

LG Optimus/Swift 7

Does anybody here use this phone?
SOrry for noob question but does it support video calling?
Or WP7 does not support it ATM?
And what are these 3 sensors in front of it?

No WP7 device currently has video calling. The lens you're seeing is probably the proximity sensor, which detects if your face is up to the phone and shuts off the screen so you don't accidentally press something.

Yeah but there are 3 there. Two similar and one deeper looking like camera.....

I have the Optimus 7 and it doesn't have a camera at the front. None of the WP7 devices out there has a front facing camera and I guess that's because video calling isn't supported.

One will be a proximity sensor, one will be a light sensor for automatic brightness and no idea on the third.

Light sensor

Where is the ambient light sensor on the desire amoled
I fear i might be blocking it with a shield cause it acts stupid.

You can see pic here. Left one should be proximity sensor, and right one light sensor (smaller rounded one).

Okay does a thin screen proctector damage the effect of sensor?

I have a zagg invisibleshield, but no problems with the light sensor.

okay thanks then.
Might be my rom not working properly

I found that the light sensor did not function properly under the stock ROM.

led..?

okay.. i looked through the manual when I got the phone and. it says theirs an led to the left of the speakers.. and I'm like no? lol its obviously to the right.. well I called someone on accident tonight and was looking at my phone and a little light lit up to the left of the speaker..anyone know what it's for? lol i is it only calls or what..
seems pretty useless =/ ide rather have a multi colored LED like the evo or evryother phone instead of two red leds lol

I believe those are the camera & light sensors.

Yeah dude those are totally you FFC (front facing camera) and the proximity sensor

Woah wtf CONFIRMED. Seriously just checked and although its very dim, there IS a light on the left corner of the speaker. Its a dark red. I called bull until I tested it. Here's how to see it:
Make a call in the darkest area possible ( the light is very dim) and look directly over the S in SAMSUNG. Interesting!
Edit: ok not an led you're right its the proximity sensor glowing red. If you cover it with your finger, the screen shuts off during a call

the sensors right next to it if look at it in a very well lite environment like outside on a sunny day. the light that glows red is to the right of the sensor

The one that you can see is actually the proximity. The other is the ambient light sensor for the auto brightness. Get over it.

Actually that's not totally correct. The hole directly to the right of the front-facing camera is a photodiode. When a call is in progress it acts as the proximity sensor, and all other times it is the ambient light sensor. To the right of that is an infrared LED - these cast a dim red glow that you can barely see in dim conditions, but if you were to look at it through the lens of a camcorder or digital camera (which are sensitive to infrared light), you will see that it lights up brightly - indicating a large amount of infrared. Skin is very reflective when it comes to infrared. When the infrared light coming out of the LED bounces off your skin and back to the photodiode, the system knows that the phone is against your head and turns the screen off.

Yeah somewhere in the back of my head i knew they likely worked in tandem. Obviously the proximity sensor needs a reciever to pickup the reflected wavelengths. Good info.
