Improving image quality / HTC Desire camera tips and trics - Desire General

Stumbled on this video today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K0p-73vL1Q
Tried removing lens protection myself, really improved image quality A LOT!
Maybe there are some similar tricks to make HTC Desires camera even better?

nice find, it certainly improves quality, depending on how abused your camera cover is

It has protection for a reason.

A "protection" that needs another protection to work...
Removed and it doesn't seem that this "protection" did anything at all besides f*cking up photos and videos..

It wasn't even scratched, abused...

Tried myself, and you are totally right, quality is much better.

Would this not cause a problem by bits and things going inside thru the hole?

Nope, it's even better because it's hard to touch camera lenses or dirt to come through tiny hole lite that.

Still, I prefer to leave it on and just remove the battery cover when i want to take a good picture.

The htc hero doesn't have this stupid cover, I removed mine a couple of months after a bought my phone. It does nothing but good!

A while ago I read somewhere that you could greatly improve your photographs by removing the small plastic lens cover on your Desire (as suggested above) and replacing it with a cut-out from a photographer's lens filter - these can be really cheap (less than £5 for a 77mm diameter UV filter) and can be cut into several lens-cover-sized pieces. If you get a scratch, you just replace it.
It could also do some interesting things for your photographs, especially if you experimented with different filter effects - polarising, UV, ND etc... could be good fun if you're feeling artistic.

I removed my plastic lens cover a couple of weeks ago, phone spends most of it time in my pocket. No dust build up, and images are so much clearer.

Before you take the lens out try polishing with Displex or similar. Mine was badly scratched and there seems to be a layer of lacquer or something like that that can be removed by polishing.
This has been mentioned elsewhere in the Forum but if you are planning to knock out the lens anyway try it first.

why bother.. Just order a replacement and pop plastic thingy on the old one.

It does seem to have some coating. There's no scratches on mine, but looking through it, it's awful - explains why the camera can be so bad.

Is there a difference in picture quality on different roms, i.e. sense vs. aosp-roms like oxygen?

I had heard that it improved the quality but taking the case off everytime I wanted to take a picture wasn't something I wanted to do but after seeing those comparison shots I had no idea it improved it that much, will definitely go experiment with that.

yes, Open Desire 3.x is probably one of the better few. Has a lot more camera settings, better auto white balance and autofocus in video mode. 720p recording of course too. Though it's a pretty old ROM based on Android 2.2.
On the other hand, there is no ROMS with a decent camera app on Android 2.3 yet.

{Review/Pics/Unboxing} Phone fisheye lense, Works with any phone!

Hey so I got this today, And seeing as it works on pretty much all phones I decided to post here, In the first post I will have pictures of it / boxing, and in the second pictures taken with it,
It comes with 2 metal rings which are sticky on the back, these can attach to most phones camera's, The lens will magnetically attach to the ring, it's a strong hold but dont go shaking it around, Mine fell of onto concrete earlier, not much damage done but I tiny chip, Unnoticeable on the camera however so that's good One of the rings has a small indent on the side, this is for the Flash on an iPhone 4 so that the ring doesn't cover it, If anyone wants pics of it on an iphone 4 just ask, I have one on the iPhone and one on my SGSII, Now pics! (Also available are A macro/wide angle lens whcih will fit on the same ring, But fisheye is more fun , Just search ebay for Phone lens)
Many of these pics are self explanatory so there won't be too much text

And that's it for now, I'ma just reserve 2nd post and start to resize some more images If I've helped you out y'aknow.. There's a thanks button *hint*hint*
Thanks for reading
Now for pics with it
I may add more, Or maybe make a thread for people to show off theirs Either way..
(Me, It was early ish, I will try get a better picture of it on)
(A bit blurry)
(If you know what this show is, I'd like to say I don't watch it, It was on and I was too lazy to show, But as you can see it makes TV's look awesome )
And this is it for now, I'd like to mention as well, the image quality is actually very good on all of these but they may not look as good due to a resize from several thousand pixels in width to 500, also they have been re-saved as a jpeg, If there are any you would like full size (For any reason.. lol) PM me or post in this thread, Now due to Milads request I'll take some of the phone with it on.
Thanks for reading

Illumishield screen protector

Just received these today and totally pleased.
3 to a order. Easy to apply now stupid water spray or "special secret application serum"
Looks like glass acts like glass.
Not some rippled thin piece of Syrian wrap.
Easy to take off and get the damn dog hair I didn't see while applying and reapply . (use masking tape to remove hair)
http://www.illumishieldstore.com/iL...archPage=1&searchRank=salesrank&searchSize=12
Mine arrived today, and installed without a hitch.
Fit was good, but could have been a tiny bit larger.
Just finished installing mine as well. I guess the three holes on it aren't that bad. One for only the camera would have been better. I'm pretty sure you don't need holes for the sensors.
Also if you can get this thing installed on your first try, that is best. Otherwise you have to keep peeling it up with tape to then use tape to get the dust. I was being OCD about it and it took me a while.
Using the 'hinge' method it's perfect just about every time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMPqDwVZzzM
Thanks. Hinge methods looks good, I'll have to try that next time. Anyone notice the touchscreen acting up a bit after installing this? Not always responding.
Nope.
Zero problems...
Love this as well with only one thing. Only gripe for me is that it is NOT as smooth as your naked screen. I guess it depends on your fingers but mine isn't. Stylus works well through it though. Overall an excellent value for the price and # of pieces you get. I agree that 2 additional holes are not necessary and makes the screen more noticeable. In fact, since I hardly use my front facing camera, I'd wish they give an option to not have any holes. I'm sure the camera can still see right through it without too much degradation.
I have some of these coming in the mail...would one of you be kind enough to post some pictures?
Here you go....

I sent Talkie Tech a message via Amazon regarding the additional 2 holes. I wonder if they do this for all of their protectors for other phones, tablets, etc.

You'd be surprised. On my Razr M at least, any film on either camera makes the shots look like Vaseline was all over the lens. It's really, really bad. Nigh unusable.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys. Ordered a pack for - as of now - a temporary means of screen protection while I wait for some more tempered glass options. Hopefully. 3 for less than $10 shipped is alright in my book, and I certainly won't mind the additional cutouts. :good:

I have thought a lot about this and, although a nice idea if you don't own a decent camera, it is (to all intents and purposes) pointless.
The beauty of a smartphone camera is that it fits in your pocket and is always there. Given a choice between carrying around all that extra junk, knowing I was off taking some serious photos, or just taking the SLR and do the job properly guess which would win out?
Face it, this thing is a geek toy (and there's nothing wrong with that, I've been a geek for over 40 years) but as a serious replacement for an SLR? I think not.

Watching the video of the iPhone version it does work pretty well with obvious softening around the center focal point. The different is price though, an SLR is easily in the hundreds or thousands not including extra lenses. While this lens is under $30. Totally get it isn't going to match a SLR in any way shape or form, but for that extra zoom at a concert or something having the phone in your pocket and the lens in another, I can't complain. So, I guess I agree with you in a sense. lol

Exactly my thoughts.
I don't own a professional or even midrange camera.
The last digital camera I bought dates from 2002.
Since mobile phones came with a camera, I been relying on those for my snapshots.
Snapshots taken on a day out to the beach or museum. Even if I had a "real" camera, I'd still be tempted to use my smartphone because of how small it is and easy to put away. I'm no professional photographer by any means.
And for someone like me, a zoom lens is actually an interesting idea.
Just like you said, going to a concert using this thing if it really works well, is a really nice thing.
Last time I was at a concert, the footage I shot was rather disappointing simply because of the distance between me and the artists on stage.
Of course the question remains if stability wouldn't become a problem then using such a gadget if it zooms really far.
This also troubles midrange digital cameras, lol. I saw a review of one of these pocket HD cameras. It had incredible zoom, but without a tripid and a stable surface to put it on, it was nearly impossible to shoot a video you can actually watch.
Mmmm...I've been spying one of these for a little while.
...but I'm not really interested in the 12x lens...but the case for the phone, as it has a threaded hole around the camera opening.
I'd like to adapt a screw-in fisheye lens, just because I'm not a fan of the magnetic ones. that and the fact that the magnetic ones don't really play well with my current case.
One of my friends has a few spare screw-in fisheyes from his iPhone because he keeps breaking his cases, and buying new ones...so hopefully the thread on the screw-in part of the lens is the same as on this 12x case.
Will post my feedback if I decide to "MacGyver" this setup.

Be sure to leave an opening for the flash so you can still use it when the lens is off.
Clearly this isn't an SLR replacement or even a super high end lens, however..
Outside of raw pixel count, the One has pretty much the best low light and pixel to pixel sensor (1/3" - the same size and similar MP res you'd find on prosumer/professional minidv/dvcam/hdv videocams not too many years ago), not to mention the fastest (or at least same as) aperture stock lens (f2) of just about any skinny jeans pocketable camera in existence. [Keep the lens in your other pocket ] Not to mention solid manual controls and on-body OIS.
Learn all the kinks of the lens and put it in some capable hands, you could really do some high quality damage with this thing. This really isn't all that different from mini35 hacks to attach focus screens and film lenses to consumer cameras. The camera is basically just being used as the ccd/cmos and storage device.
Video could be tricky, but doesn't seem any different than any other rolling shutter camera.
(as long as you don't have the red sensor issue)
$20 meh, in for 1.
Throw a small enough circular polarizer on the end and that would be even slicker.
Don't you think this would be a better choice??

For the price of that Sony wifi camera, one might as well make the jump to a fully functional digital SLR.

Difference in 13MP camera and "Selfie" Camera

I don't know if this issue has been brought up yet or not, but I have an odd bug. When using the 13MP shooter, the picture looks extremely grainy and the blacks are more like grays. The line of trees around our house don't look black, they look an ashy smoke grey. And the grainy-ness is so bad it almost looks distorted at certain points that my son was walking around.
And yet when taking "selfies" the front camera produces crystal clear, beautiful pictures. It seems like it should be the other way around.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if I need to return this to TMO and get a replacement?

When I broke the camera lens cover on my G2, I installed a replacement. After installing the replacement my pictures were like the one posted here.
Upon closer inspection I noticed a plastic removable film on the lens cover. When I took it off the pictures were great..
Check and make sure you don't have a protective plastic film left on your lens cover.

Good suggestion, but there is no plastic film covering the camera. I'm fairly certain if I take it into TMO they will just exchange it. Might just go for that and see if it helps.

Dang i've noticed that it helps a lot but it's still a bit bad. Mine doesn't seem to be quite as bad as yours.
This can be easily solved (for me at least) by rubbing the lens with a soft cloth in a circular motion rather than linearly.

It may look clean but shine the lens at different angles and you'll see oil streaks. For sure that's what it is based on the glare. The same exact thing happens with glasses.

I'll give it another whirl but I'm not used to that much glare from any device.

Glass is always like that and every camera or item with glass whether glasses, shower doors, windows will always do that. For example my glasses and DSLR do that if you touch them. It's normal but strange that many HTC owners are raising awareness on that like LCD and polarization.

Because it's not just the glass causing the issue.

But it is. Unless other phone manufacturers are making some kind of glass with enduroshield that even camera brands like Nikon and Canon aren't using.
Check out my sample and example in the camera thread.
Do you have the latest updates installed?

Unless it's exactly the same glass as the m9 which had the exact same issue then i'm not convinced.
My Nexus didn't have this, my S5, infact pretty much none of the below phones did except for the 3 new HTC devices.
If it's glass, then how does that happen? The vast majority of these were glass, the 10 just seems to be hazy, especially in low light, bring the device outside and it's crystal clear, feels like dejavu of the m9 to me.
Might sound like i'm bashing HTC here, i'm not, i'm a bit disappointed, i've always put a lot of faith in HTC and they always seem to drop the ball on something. Suppose that's HTC's way of being unique.

Seems to me you got a bad copy of the HTC 10. You probably wanna send it for an exchange.
