Motorola Droid X :: Camera Permanently ZOOMED In OS 2.1?
Aug 26, 2010
on the camera in OS 2.1 the camera is permenantly zoomed in... if you want to take a picture you have to litterally back up a few steps.... 2.2 froyo has fixed this issue but ONLY for the camera... not the video... for example I took a picture in camera mode, of a glass that took up the whole screen and just fit in the picture... i then switched to video camera mode and didn't change anything else and the video then expanded across the whole screen and was zoomed in and only half the glass could be captured!!! I just want to point this out and any of you guys can feel free to give it a try... just wanted you all to know i'm not crazy! and this is not a hardware issue like i initially though this is simply a software issue... and when the camera is stretched across the screen this causes it to be permenantly zoomed ... so i'm happy 2.2 fixed this for the camera mode but disapointed it's still in the video recording... but it proves my point... now i'm going to try to upload my examples...

I thought it was just the screen being so large but now i've realized that this camera is permanently zoomed. Its not because the camera sticks out a few mm either... In order take pictures I have to physically take a couple steps away from what I am trying to take... Has anybody else noticed this? At first I thought it maybe a hardware issue with the camera but I think this maybe related to the software maybe permanetnly digitally zoomed in?

has anyone noticed that viewing picz while zoomed in displays really poor image quality? this only seems to happen in the 2.1 gallery. i noticed this way back when the apk for 2.1 gallery was released and i tried it out. double tapping to zoom in resulted in a very pixelated and low quality zoom while in regular 2.0 gallery, there was no problem. pics zoomed in still displayed crisp sharp quality. with all the custom roms nowadays, this problem is still there. I'm using sholes 2.0.6 still, with my camera taking highest quality pics with highest resolution. I'm pretty sure this is just isolated to viewing pics in 2.1 gallery because if i viewed the same pics in camera mode, there's no problem. no one else noticed this? is 2.1 gallery just broken like that or what?

Every time I press it to use my camera it keeps lowering my ringer volume and when im in the camera mode(from app) it wont snap any pics, it just takes me back to my main page and lower the volume. Can anyone help me out?

So I spent the last hour or more in my backyard in 107 degrees taking pictures of flowers at stock settings with both phones. NOT an easy task I will tell you that. My back hurts, but besides that... I did my best to show the best quality of BOTH cameras, because they are both great. I realize that not everyone will agree with me, or will think I messed with something in my pictures. But these are all completely stock settings, not messed with at all. I only touched the flash on/off button.
My decision is I like the X camera better, it is easier to focus, and much snappier. Plus designated camera button! I found on the Incredible while the pictures look great on the phone itself and in gallery, that as soon as they were uploaded the colours looked washed out and not as great. I know this is due to the AMOLED screen. But both overall great. My decision is the X though.
X FLASH:
INC FLASH:
NOTE: Inc would NOT focus any closer without being extremely blurry, tried a gazillion times.
X NO FLASH:

I recently dl'd google scoreboard... my buddy at work recommended it. He has incredible too. The icons didn't fit properly and some text on bottom was cut off so I told him it was crap. He showed me his incred and the app looked fine. I then tried all my apps and noticed that a bunch of games I haven't played in weeks were now showing up with this zoomed in look.... others work/fit flawlessly. These games did work fine previously. I'm assuming some other app is to blame but have no idea how to go about it.

Last year, I implemented a web application specifically designed to display large jpgs (approx 950px x 1000+px) in a magazine style format on WebKit for the iPhone. It works great there, as well as any other WebKit-enabled device - until Android.
On other devices, tapping zooms the image, then there is a momentary pause while the image is rendered and sharpened - so text retains clarity. The pause/render/sharpen never takes place on the Motorola phone or the AVD I'm running though Eclipse. Even taking the web app out the equation, going directly to the image in Android's flavor of WebKit shows the same issue.
I've tried outputting jpgs with a much higher density: 165dpi, up to 600dpi - there is some clarity increase, but not enough.
Are large jpgs just a lost cause w/Android? Is the render/sharpen on zoom something that just hasn't made it's way into Android's version of WebKit?

In web view, the overview mode method does not works in Android 1.6. Because of the API Level restrictions. is there any possible to show the web view in zoomed out completely? Any Idea?
WebSetting.Zoomdensity is available in API Level 7 only.

When I select a picture from the "My Pictures" menu, I then hit the right soft key to get into the "Options" menu and I scroll down to and select the fourth option, "Zoom/Rotate". When I am finally done zooming/ rotating the picture, it seems as though I'm left with no option to save it. I've pressed every button that I could think of and nothing seems to work. I can't imagine that this option is not available.

how can I get my fixed width site to always appear "fully zoomed in" on webkit (iphone and android) browsers? right now, it looks fine on an iPhone and "too small/zoomed out" on an Android phones that have higher resolution.i'm trying this viewport: <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=yes, width=device-width, target-densityDpi=device-dpi, initial-scale=1.0" />

My camera is stuck in the Negative Mode setting. I can't swipe from the left to pull out the camera options and the menu softkey doesn't bring up anything either.
I didn't notice this till about after a week or so using LFYv1.71. However, it seems that I am the only one using that ROM that's experienced this prob. Truth is, it could have been like that a while. I have a great 15mp camera, so I rarely need to use the mediocre-at-best 5mp camera on the Droid. But when I wanted to take a pic without the good one at my disposal, I found my prob.
While I'm searching for a fix to this it made me wonder, "Are there replacement camera apps, much like there are for the browser and messaging apps?" Well, of course there are. Many, in fact. Most seem to be paid apps, but if it's a truly better option, just might be worth it.
So what camera apps are you guys using, or could you recommend one?

So the default camera resolution is 6 MP and it says "widscreen." I know that 8 MP is "large screen" but what takes higher quality photos? I've heard lower MP doesn't always mean worse photos.

When I take pictures on the droid I like to slide out the keyboard to see the screen better. I use the center button on the d-pad to snap the picture, but was wondering if there was way to use the up and down keys on the d-pad zoom in and out?

I've had my Droid X since launch and been lurking here for awhile, I haven't had any real issues until now though...
Yesterday, my droid x started randomly opening the camera application without anyone or anything even touching the phone. It's maddeningly frustrating. It wakes the phone up when the screen is off, which kills the battery faster, it randomly pops up when I'm web browsing or writing a text. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, was there a fix other than taking the phone back to verizon? I haven't gotten the phone wet or dropped it or anything.

[Droid X 2.2 No Root] For some reason sometimes when I'm using the camera or when I try to launch the camera, It fails. For example, I try to open a black screen flashes or the camera opens for a moment and closes. Sometimes it works, others it refuses to even after all running apps are closed, the phone restarted, and after a battery pull. This is not a shutter stick problem.

I was really excited to be one of the 25 lucky ones to get a droid x today, but my camera doesn't seem to be working. At first it worked fine, just seemed a bit laggy, then allof a sudden the phone would restart wheni would open the camera app. Now the camera app just shows a blackscreen. I have reset the phone and restarted several times with no change.

What is the deal with the power and volume buttons all being chrome but they decide to make the camera one red? I really hope Verizon didn't think this was a cool thing to do for their brand color.

For some reason, my camera app won't open half the time. It will just go black for a second, then back to my home screen. Sometimes it works though, but that is less often.

The camera in the Droid is said to be a 5 mega pixel camera. I have a 5mp Kodak point and shoot camera that takes really nice pictures that sometimes I can fool people into thinking I used a DSLR camera. Now the camera on the Droid which is said to be 5mp looks like crap in my opinion. I've taken pics in the daylight and at night and it looks grainy either way. I have played around with the white balance but mainly keep it on Auto. I own a Nikon D90 so I will use that to take any pics of importance.

I am trying to make it so that when I push the camera (red) button on my phone, it launches Vignette rather than the stock camera. Does anyone know how to do this. I tried going to the "manage applications" and clear defaults on the camera, but the camera is not an application that shows up. I even reinstalled Vignette, hoping that it would prompt me to pick the default app, but no joy.Anyone know how to change the default camera, or else remap the camera button?

I noticed when I take a photo, if you look at the details of that photo, it has the GPS location of where it was taken recorded. Are there any apps that take advantage of that? Like something that shows the images on a map or something?
