Hey, I am worried about my camera quality. Can someone please check my sample pictures and tell if my camera is broken. It has been taking pictures like this since I bought it. All settings have been on auto or default.

Two pictures are in attachments.
It's like camera is not having a focus point or something?
Thanks!
Somethings out of wack here. Some piece of the pictures, like the leaves on the forest floor, and the arched concrete you were sitting on in front of that palace, are very detailed, yet, the backgroud is all fuzzy. I dont know whats wrong, but i dont think thats normal. Maybe someone else who knows more than me on the camera will post and help out.

Thanks for your anwser, I also think something is wrong. Any other opinions?
Take some pictures horizontally and with far distance.... If it's blurry(my was on the right side), it's camera hardware problem.... I had same issue, I was looking around on xda and found out it's broken ... I sent it back to HTC for repair, and they havent found any issue, so I have called insurance instead and they did swap ... It's fine now

Yes, but it is blurry already in the middle, taken from far, or close - the girl picture. Okay it is vertically taken but still. I'm thinking of going to my operator and letting them send it to warranty, I was just trying to see if there really is some problem, because all this warranty thing takes time and if they say it is working properly then all this time would be just for no reason.

In my opinion it does look that something is very wrong with it.
I have taken more than 500 pictures with my phone and just some taken with almost no ligh have some fuzziness like yours.
The ones with good light or moderate light are excelent. Even 90% of the ones I took at near no light are better than yours.
Let me show you some random pictures I have taken so you can compare.
These are not even messed with settings like sharpen -1 or anything else, just plain settings.
The second picture was taken with almost no light at all (seriously, the image is nothing like I could see with my eyes, way brighter in the phone).
I would take to a store and complain about it if I were you.
Thanks for your feedback, I will take it back and let them send it to warranty. Now I need to make it stock again

Check this out, this will give us a front facing camera in a snap. Has anyone tried one of these for the Incredible? My concern is the clip... it looks like it's designed for iPhones so I don't know if it would work on an Incredible.

you would have to modify it to work. our camera isnt mounted in the same place as the iphone.

You're right; it's pretty close though:
I was thinking of taking the plunge and buying one just to see, but was hoping someone else on here already did. Bump for hope?

looking at the amazon site it looks like you could do it. idk the thickness difference from our phones to the iphone so i dont know how well it would clip on.
I don't think it woudl stay on. It looks like that one clips onto the iphone by the earpiece and the contoured back - our phone has the earpiece in a different spot and the back isn't curved it's just different levels. Might take some modifying.
Updated to MIUI 1.5.6 tonight that bring gtalk voice and video chat. Im going to buy it in at the end of the month. Ill let everyone know how it goes.
Haha as if using video chat in public wasn't weird enough.

Awesome, thanks for taking the plunge! Looking forward to your results.
That doesnt look like it would fit, and an eye sore to boot.
Has anyone tried this yet on our phone?
It seems like you lose the main camera but gain a front facing camera with the same megapixel camera on the phone.
This just started happening on my phone...there is a portion of the screen (near where the predictive words would appear) where the sensors do not recognize my touch (see below):

}
In the above screenshot, I scrolled from bottom of the screen all the way to the top, but notice the gap in the middle.
Do you think the sensor is damaged or is it something else? I.e., do youthink it's a hardware issue or a software one ?

I'm guessing you already tried reflashing your/another ROM...
Good luck mate, that looks nasty
It seems the rom/kernel combination I was using wasn't good. It's back to normal with a different kernel.
CORRECTION:
No, it's not back to normal. Now I'm fairly convinced that it's a hardware problem. I don't know why or how, but the problem is back.
Maybe the touch sensor is sometimes working and sometimes not. It's strange though that it's always only at that section and no where else. Maybe the problem is only localized to that particular area.

At the worst case it might be your digitizer.
Revert back to stock through nvflash and test it again. If the issue is still present and its till under warranty, send the bad boy back.
Or alternatively, you can replace the digitizer yourself. Hope all goes well man

Thanks LarsPT & Supupa for your replies and kind wishes.
Unfortunately, it is conclusively a hardware issue since going back to stock or any other rom didn't make things any better.
And I'm out of luck and have no warranty on this (since I got it second hand).
I guess I'll just have to pray that it will last me a few more weeks until the SGS3 comes out here in the States.
Thanks.
You can fix it yourself?
The digitizer is only like $50 not original but it will last for ever. If you do, get one with the frame. It will make life so much easier.
Secondly its quite easy to replace, no soldering just screws and un clipping things.
I did mine myself, very simple. Good luck bud

Thanks for the tip! I'll give that a try.
By the way, I love the Android comment in your signature. So true.
After a few weeks of waiting I received my Nexus 7 today. I'll admit, I can be pretty picky about these things. I noticed what I first assumed was a crack in the top-right corner of the bezel. Upon further inspection I noticed a similar mark, although less pronounced in the top left corner, in the same spot. There's a third, (even less noticeable but still visible mark in the bottom corner of the bezel, [not pictured]), and the remaining bottom corner looks completely fine.
Question is, am I the only one with these cracks/defects, and while it may seem too picky to some, I'm very tempted to do an exchange. Pictures below.

Molding seams. They're all like that.
Mine was like that too... not as pronounced but visible.

Uhh, no they aren't. Mine doesn't have any of these visible. If its on all of em then some must look worse than others
Odd. Mine doesn't have this issue.

Very interesting, on the most prominent seem (top photo) I pushed it together and it did close up. If they're all like this then it will save me the trouble of returning, cause what's the point.

Thank you for taking the time to take those photos and posting them. It's good to know they're not all like that. Looks like I'll be returning my N7 after all. (If only I wasn't so damn picky.) lol
after checking mine, I only have one corner (corner above where the power button is) shows something similar. It's not a crack for sure, more like a uneven paint line.
Seems like a pain to return anything purchased online. I spoke with Google's customer service after being on hold for 5 mins, (which by the way, they need to change the on-hold music.) The rep, nice guy, made a note of my issue and said I'll be receiving an email in the next 48 hours. I assume after the return, and another few business days to credit my card back, I'll be able to try to buy one locally. (If I can even find one.)
All my picture are out of focus Happened some times ago. It tries to focus, it believes it does so, but all pictures are slighty out of focus. No sharp lines anywhere.
Is this water damage? Or could it be something else? If water damage, is there anything I can do at all about this?
welcome to the club... I think it's "camera damage" but from factory... I tried all camera apps but the result is the same almost.

Oh that sucks! I hate leaving it on repair. It takes forever and often they don't do jack ****... and you have to return 3 times before it's actually replaced by a new one. They first try software updates...! When it's been 2 months you've given up and bought a new phone.
Apart from that, this phone is the best phone I've had... and I've had many!
What version are you on?

Take it easy...
I complain about photos when the light is not great, besides that, when the light is excelent the phone do very nice pictures, sometimes its hard to focus but it works.
The problem of the phone camera is manage the light, I think... and for me its a question of lenses or some other hardware, cause I tried all the versions, all the apps and the blur or the light issue remains...
Apart of that and the back speaker (lets forget the bootloader for now...), the phone its great.
Try Camera JB+ or Camera 360 Ultimate, lot better imo.
I have no problem with the auto focus both day and night, please see these pics:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866677&page=2
But there is red center issue when taking pic at close range:

There's no difference in broad daylight, if any it's a very slim difference. It's most likely water damage, sadly.
I'm pretty technical, but wanted to ask a question towards users of the LG phone incase this might be a common issue.
I have version: 10f (latest version available)
I've done a bit of searching on this but couldn't find any examples quite as extreme as mine. It seems to have happened to my phone at some point within the past couple of months, only noticed recently when I transferred some photos to my laptop. What basically happens is similar to the 'tilt shift' effect on Instagram. Only part of the photo is in focus. It's usually the middle which is in focus, but if I tap to focus elsewhere, it will shift the focus to there and the blurriness shifts (see photo number 4, where I tapped to specifically focus on the building on the right). I also tried the multiple autofocus option, but it unfortunately makes no real difference.
At first I thought I'd accidentally turned on some sort of hipster photo mode, but having scoured the options, I can see nothing of the kind which is making me think it's likely to be a hardware issue. The camera lens itself looks fine from the outside, no obvious cracks or damage.
Pictures below, just wondered if anyone had experienced this issue or had any ideas of any settings I may have missed, or anything else which could be causing this? I want to make sure I've tried everything I can before I send it back to Sony for repair.
Photos below, first photo was taken in manual mode, 2 and 3 were taken in superior auto. The 4th was specifically tapping the Focus onto the building on the right.

lens cover is probably scratched or melted. Its plastic so its easy to ruin.

Thanks, I've had a browse of that thread, but visually, to my eye at least, the lens cover on mine looks unscratched and undistorted. The case I have has a reasonably thick back, so the camera has actually been fairly well protected from scratches. Are there any other tests I can do? I'll try to get a close up picture of my lens later.
Just to update this, the phone is currently with Sony. Hopefully they'll be able to fix the issue, will update again with the end result, hopefully I'll have it back next week at some point.
Final update. Got the phone back last night, they've replaced the camera which has fixed the issue. Excellent turnaround, took 4 working days from sending it off to getting it back.
