View 3 RepliesMy current mobile phone is an LG/Sprint Optimus S, whose camera has 3.2 mpx resolution. My previous (and first) smart phone was an HTC Pure which runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and is perhaps better known as the Topaz, Pure being its AT&T edition. The camera on that phone does 5.0 mpx, so it's obviously much better. Even on just the small device screens, you can see the quality difference at a glance.
For a particular objective, I need to be able to take good pictures on the go, but have the Internet connection provided by my current Android device. In other words, I want to take pictures with the HTC, beam them to my Optimus, and then use that to send out the pictures. I was having a bit of trouble getting the devices to work well together in their native states, so I flashed a version of Froyo onto the old HTC. Having done that, I found that the Bluetooth connection between the devices worked quite well. But when I try to use one of the Android camera apps to take pictures on the HTC, it's not taking full advantage of the lens' capability. The photos show up on the screen about the size of a large postage stamp; in fact not much bigger than a thumbnail picture.
Do Android camera apps not work at any better resolution than 3.2?
Is there a way to turn off the flash and/or the shutter sound of the camera when taking a picture?
Flash Mode says auto under it, but the box is grayed out and I cannot select it to change it.
This is the same for the auto focus feature, I am unable to select that as well.
I got my X10 in Australia at last, can anyone tell me how to get the camera to use flash when taking a photo.
I can get the light to come on in video mode but just want to use as flash.
Is there an app out there or am I just stuck with crappy camera that cant take pics at night.
Since the Eris doesn't have a flash is there anyway to take good night/dark photos? All the good "kodak moments" happen at night.

I have a folder called 'Photos' on my SD card, but that only has photos I copied to it from my PC. (so I could use them as wallpaper). When I use the Albums app, it lets me choose the Photos folder on my SD card, or a folder called 'Camera shots' with 29 photos in it (that I took with the Eris camera), but I don't see that folder anywhere with Astro , even when trying a file search.

I'd love to get the Eris, or new N1/Passion when avail, but not having it operate internationally is a problem.
My camera won't take properly colored pictures any more. It started out as an intermittent problem but now it's just all the time and it really bugs me. The camera on these phones sucks to begin with but it did come in handy some times. This is the kind of pictures it takes now.

I installed the YouTube HQ .apk from HTC EVO 4G and it worked flawlessly.
Is it possible to port the stock camera app from the EVO for use on the Eris? I like the handy "on screen" shutter button.
Quick question on the HTC EVO, on the front facing camera isn't it suppose to have a flash when taking pics at night? i could of swore mine did.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written an application in android 1.5 to take a snapshot using SurfaceView. The image taken will have pink color fill at center. When we use a default camera application the photos are fine. I know there are some issues in android 1.5, also some hardware issues in some devices, however is there any workaround or settings to overcome this ?

is there anyway to make the flash stay on when taking a video? i tried taking a video in a bar that was dark and i was hoping that i could get the flash to say on and use as a spot light.

un-check flash in the settings, clear cache and restart the phone.
I haven't had any crashes or forced closes since I did this.
