I just purchased the HTC one for sprint a few days ago.
I have been taking mostly indoor vidoes/pictures under normal lighting conditions.
And all the pics are awful. They are blurry , not focused properly and the photo just looks horrible - like one taken from a bad camera phone.
I have tried messing with the settings...tried HDR mode...zoe mode. Still...pictures come out very grainy or just plain out of focus.
Is this a defect or what? Im hearing all these great things about the camera , but the pics don't come close to what my 4 year old HTC Evo takes.
Should I try to exchange it out for another at sprint store ? anyone else having this issue?
Is the lens dirty or covered by anything? Try tapping the screen to focus. Do you have a sample to show us?

The photos are grainy because of the ultra pixel system that they used in this camera. It is sort of a trade off really....in order to get those nice low light shots they had to devise a camera with larger light sensitive cells. It is like in the old film days when you used 1600 speed film for low light conditions but ended up with pictures that were super grainy. Same concept but now in digital form.
I know what the OP is talking about, this is a different issue than just having grainy pictures. Mine cannot seem to focus on anything more than 10 ft away. I'm attaching an example from a graduation last night. The focus was so bad that I will not using any of these pictures for anything.
And yes I tapped on the screen multiple times to get it to focus, this is what came out. I can replicate this basically anytime when taking pictures of anything kind of far away. It freaking sucks.
This is not due to not focusing or pics being slightly grainy
Im saying the pics are awful.. Way out of focus and look distorted, phone is only 3 days old so it's not a dirty lens
Taking this back to sprint today... Will update you guys on what they do for me..
I've had time where the front camera is blurry from smudges on the lens taking it out of my pocket. Wiping off the lens helps. It happens pretty frequently actually.

I went to the sprint store yesterday and they exchanged it out for a new HTC one.
Same problem with the new one. Blurry images, out of focus objects, when you zoom in the images, they are too grainy/fuzzy.
I'm now beginning to understand that it's not a hardware problem, but just a bad camera on the HTC One.
I have been comparing pictures over the past 3 days from HTC One vs my 3 year old Galaxy S2 phone.
The galaxy s2 phone pictures are significantly more clear, crisp and more detailed.
The HTC One pictures are routinely blurry, noisy and just plain out of focus in certain areas.
The HTC one pictures look good when you look at them zoomed out...but when you pinch n zoom in, you begin to see fuzzy edges and blurred focus. This does not happen on my S2.
The S2 images are 3.5 MB with resolution of 3264x2448
The HTC one images are 2.17 MB with resolution of 2688x1520
So, clearly, the galaxy s2 pics are going to look better.
I love everything about the HTC one , but the camera is a total disappointment. I wish it was a hardware defect so I could swap it for a better unit, but I suppose that's just how it is
I am on badseed rom and I opened zip and replaced the camera.apk with the new one found in international roms and wiped and reflashed and my camera is 1000% better . The one I used is from cleanrom 2.0
Mine has been the same way and I use it a lot for work. I will try the different apk.
Is this an effect of running custom roms? Isn't all the after picture stuff done via image sense?
HTC ONE! Everything your phone isn't.

Not sure all I know is ever since I've had the phone (I've used stock, Viper, and badseed) it's been that way.
I replaced the camera apk and reflashed my rom and the issue is still there.
It's like it only focuses in the center of the picture... everything around the center is blurry even if i touch the screen outside the center.
Here are some examples:
I'm using the xda app which doesn't handle pics very well, so it's hard to tell for sure but it sounds like you're complain about the depth of field - area of importance in focus, background/foreground blurry.
Photography 101:
The HTC one uses a camera with a f/2.0 or so lens. This means it can allow lots of light in. The lower this number is, the more light passes through the lens. There's a catch, this extra light isn't as sharp. Parts of the image fall out of focus. This is called shallow depth of field. The lower the f-stop (f number), the shallower the depth of field. There's a distance from the lens that's the sweet spot in focus, adjusting focus repositions where the sweet spot is, but the sweet spot is smaller on lower f-stops

Still don't really understand the issue... Never had these problems with my GS3. And it really has nothing to do with background/foreground... Everything that is the same distance form the lens that is outside the center is blurry as %^#@.
I took another look outside the app at the pics. I think it's a shallow depth of field. Our camera is capable of a much lower f-stop than most others. The average consumer camera it around 3.5 f-stop for example. Until the HTC amaze, android phones never had an f-stop this low. I'm not sure what the galaxy's used though.
The pic of the signs tells me a lot that this is the case. Most people like this effect as it's artsy. The sign on the left is in focus and closer to the camera, the sign to the right is further away and not in focus. This is what depth of field is. Shallow depth of field is a smaller area in focus.
Now, I don't want to make excuses for HTC. The f-stop isn't a fixed number. It's supposed to be adjustable in cameras, we just may not have the option to. Try using landscape mode. That should keep everything in focus. This depth of field shouldn't be for every pic

If you reflashed the rom after installing the new camera apk then the old camera app will still be there since you relfashed the rom. If anything flash the newer camera apk after not before.

I replaced the APK inside the ROM then flashed it. Simply replacing the apk from within android didn't work and it wouldn't let me just install it either..

Dear all,
I am a proud owner of this phone for a few days now, but I noticed that the camera stretches the picture on the top. Let me try to explain, so when I take a picture of a person then the forehead is abnormally stretched... of course not only with the head, but everything...
Is it normal? or Faulty camera?
you can see it on the attachments..

It is a tradeoff that happens with the choice to go with a widescreen lense (maybe their is a more accurate way of saying that?). If you compare the One with any other phone (that I know of) you will see that it gets much more into the picture when held horizontally. The tradeoff to this is that pictures look stretched when taken in portrait mode. So what you are seeing is normal.
I agree that I don't like the stretching, but man is it nice being able to get so much I to a picture when you hold the phone horizontally.

Not anymore, I took back the phone and got an s4 at least I can find out now which one is better
Thanks for the help
Check out this picture as an example. I was the only one in the room that was able to get this picture. Maybe if the wall went back a couple feet, someone else could get the same picture without cutting people right next to them out.
So, sucks a bit to stretch pictures out in portrait, but this is pretty damn cool.

I have to say that I checked my camera and I don't see anything like in zimilaci's video. So for me it actually doesn't look normal.
I don't know why my wide angle photos show a fish-eye type distortion where only the part where the photo is focussed is clear and everything else seeps into a slight blur.
Feature not a bug. It *is* a wide angle lens. Wide angle lenses start to exhibit fish eye distortion the wider they go. Anything in the corners of the frame is not going to be orthogonal. End of story.
If you think it's bad on the back camera, try the front facing camera lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260286

I am not quite sure anymore... a friend mine told me that she did not encounter any distortion.... I will check today other devices as well...
its not that annoying...or mabye ? its only the front camera, and a bit with the rear....
HTc online support told me it a faulty device, but both cameras?
Come on...
Go over to Android Central. They mentioned this effect in their review of the camera.

Then my question is, how come that the official HTC support said its not normal?
or its only one of the technicians?
Just got my HTC one (blue best buy version) and aside from the top of the screen being a hairs width higher than the top speaker grill, it seems perfect. No camera issues (pitch black laid on a table), no apparent gaps in the plastic surround, and no other defects I can find. Anyone else care to sound off with hardware version and any defects you have?

I was almost positive there was a 0003 but I could be wrong.
0004, Mine is from launch
0004 and the only complaint is thecamera. That was against my hand so its purple but at night, especially outside, it is a very noticeable blue. Plus the very noticeable "blocks" are pretty disappointing. I also have a problem with most pictures coming out blurry, has a small focus area that is clear and everything else seems faded.

4... I have the red one. No camera issues and everything fits like a glove.
Well seems like there's probably only the 0004. So much for my theory that maybe that had anything to do with anything. I wish there was (or maybe there is) a way to see more detailed build date information. Maybe that would shed some light on things.
Got mine about three weeks ago.

Not to discredit your complaints. They're real issues. But are you sure the focus issue isn't related to depth of field? It's especially exaggerated on the f/2.0 aperture of our camera. But there are others too that confirmed it's a real defect, almost like the glass is out of place in the lens.

Have 0004 and have a very tiny gap, screen isn't flush with the grill, but not by a lot and my camera has the annoying blue and purple colors in darkness but I'm not complaining. 4.3 is supposed to fix the camera issue so we'll see what happens.
The picture is the camera pressed against my palm.

I have 0004, and I don't have any camera problems. I do have the bottom-speaker-louder-than-top-speaker issue, though. I've also noticed that the bottom right of my screen is slightly warped inward, because the plastic on the bottom-right of the device tapers its width down slightly. But that hasn't caused me any problems.
I do have some of those aluminum-plastic gaps that some have complained about, but those don't really bother me. I keep the device in a case most of the time, anyways.
Every other little flaw (lackluster graphics performance, popping sound when WiFi is enabled), I feel, is the fault of software, which will ideally be corrected, if US carriers ever give us non-rooters 4.3.
Got mine on launch day and it's been perfect! No rough edges, no gaps (at least from what my naked eye can see), no sound or connectivity issues. My experience had been excellent. This device will encourage me to keep buying and supporting HTC devices in the future. Attached a pic of my camera held up to my palm. No odd coloring at all.

I've only seen 0004.
I was showing my friend some of these pictures, and he said that it looks kinda like a pinched/damaged LVDS cable. With the way everything is packed so tight inside modern smartphones, and especially the One in particular, this sounded plausible to me. It does go against HTC's theory that it is a software issue, and I hope for the sake of those with issues it is just software. What do you guys think?

Was this happening before OTA? When you take pics, make sure your finger isn't covering the LED flash; that may be the issue. Otherwise, your only choice is to return it D:

I didin't see before the OTA, bacause when I turned on the device, appeared the update...
Mi finger didn't touch the lens when I took the photo..
Does it happen All the time or just with these photos? Looks like the light is reflecting off the cars, and in such a small space, it may make the auto light sensors go haywire... Just a thought.
Try taking a photo with the flash in a wide open space and see if you can replicate it.
I have no issues with photos coming out like that with the flash.

Oh, I wasn't talking about fingering covering the lens. I was talking about finger covering the LED flash so that the light would bounce off your finger and into the lens, thus causing the blurry and purply and bright picture. Try taking a picture in the exact same spot with none of your fingers on the back of the phone.
Also, perhaps you might be using a case that is deflecting light into the lens as well?
This may be a very basic suggestion , but I mention it because I have been guilty of this in the past . Did you take off the little piece of plastic film that covers the lens?

This makes a lot if sense, if the plastic cover was still on it would take the very close light from the led and transfer it through the plastic, thus illuminating the plastic like fiber optic. And that little plastic cover would be easy to miss and may not be that noticeable with non flash photos.

The camera is okay on the moto X, I have done a lot of post edits because of this phone lol. Thanks to snapseed and picsay pro. Pretty much every time I take a photo in gonna be spending 5 mins or so editing it. IMO it's a good trade off for touchless control and active notifications.

If you looked at the film that covered the lense, it didn't actually cover the lense center. There is a hole in it for the shooter even if you don't remove it. That wasn't the cause. The shooter is just wonky on finding good contrast for focus, especially anything less than 6"
I have also the same problem.

Source, because no. This rear camera is not a wide angle in the strictest sense. By your logic it would take pictures of its own bezel if the small film would be in line of sight. That's not the case, the front camera is an 88 degree wide for close field (selfies and such) the rear is not.

Im sorry but I had the same problem with the s4, s5, and so did a whole bunch of people. If you dont know what your talking about then why are you still arguing. It clearly messes up the focus because A: Dust and hair start to collect over it and B: it keeps trying to focus while its on which causes blurry pics
And if OP could chime in I bet removing this made his camera better
I wasn't arguing, I stated its not a wide angle, it isn't. The front lenses is 88degree for wide. I also still stand(with no sticker) that the rear shooter isn't the greatest at focus. These sensors are still just over hyped webcams. My bias towards specific detail comes from photography experience.
Further, I hope OPs problem is solved too.

Like you, I kept it on my S4 for a long time and it didn't cause any problems either. However, like I mentioned before, not all of these phones are alike. It might not cause a problem for some while it does for others.
To the OP, the best thing to do is remove it and see if the problem persists. If it does, exchange the phone until you get one that works right.
It still effects the focus it happens on the s4 and on the s5 you must have a bad camera
