[Q] Potential camera problem? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive been using the camera without any issues so im not sure if it is related only to a couple apps or if its a possible problem with the camera that may get worse over time.
When using redlaser or att code scanner, after the item is done being scanned, the camera itself makes an audible click which is not a shutter noise. You can feel it, its not as strong a feel as the haptic feedback so i believe its the camera.
Is this something i should be worried about? Should i do an exchange on it?
On a side note, this click does not happen with the normal camera app or with any others ive used, just redlaser and att code scanner so far.

try factory restart

How to make the HTC logo a home button

I'm just posting this information for anyone who might want to use it. I'm not sure if it works on our version but maybe someone will be daring enough to try it:
Android Central says: " ...there are two versions of his package -- one uses the Home button to wake the device and the logo to turn off the screen, and the other allows the logo to act as a menu button.
Things are still a little shaky on some versions of the software, but if you read through the entire thread there are a couple of solutions to get everything -- including an audio routing fix for earpiece volume issues -- working, at least for the GSM versions. "

[Q] Poor Camer Quality

Very recently I have been getting poor quality pictures. They look just OK. The are not really sharp and clear. Here are some samples. Any ideas? I see the dimensions are still 3264x1840 but the file sizes are also under 1MB in size. My settings haven't change and I haven't installed anything recently. I do not have any camera or picture add-on application installed either. I've uploaded the originals here: http://imgur.com/a/7Q3RS

Silly question, but have you checked the lens cover for dirt or misting up internally? If the camera is not focusing correctly then the image file size would reflect this as it is not capturing any details, even tho the resolution is set high. If your phone has for example been in na air conditioned area for a long time, then gets thrown into extreme heat you may get misting internally until the phone warms up.

Not at all a silly question, but I cleaned the lens cover profusely - to no avail. There are no scratches on the cover - it looks pristine - as the phone is not that old. I live in Abu Dhabi, and do have that issue with the heat and air conditioning. But it hasn't been that hot yet (remarkably). it even occurs indoors...
Also congratulations on joining XDA!

Crumbs, do you know when this started? Was it after such a condition with the cold/hot environment, is your camera permanently taking photos like this and does the image in the view finder (screen) before you take the shot look out of focus too???
Easy to state, but you may want to try a soft reset of the phone in case the software is playing up.
Thank you.

me too the same thing happened, but I realized that it was after I updated the firmware 1.30 to 1.35. All the photos I take are like the ones you are taking. I also have no idea how to change it, because I reset the device, already changed my rom already updated to firmware 1.40 and nothing worked.
I even went back to the factory mode with a RRU and nothing!
If anyone can help us ... would be great! : Confuso:

Looking around the web there does seem to be a few posts about this issue, so here are a few things to try:
Force close the camera app - clear cache/data,
Try touching the screen while in the camera to see if it will auto-focus/make the focus sound - Does it focus? Or focus and then looses it?
Check for a firmware update for the camera,
See if you can uninstall any firmware updates on the camera to see if that caused the issue,
Finally - From what I have read it is most likely to be a hardware fault - return the unit.

I've done all this and not solved. I do not think it's hardware because this only happened after you upgrade the firmware, I believe there must be some source code that would solve it.

Entirely possible,not sure if the OP updated his firmware. But if the firmware has broken it then you have a right to send it back for repair. After all, if they do not get any reports back of camera issues it is unlikely they will rush out a fix.

I live in Brazil and here there is no HTC store. I bought this device in the U.S. and I can not eviar the device there. So I'm trying to solve here, asking for help from our colleagues who are hackers cell.
Ah, that would make things rather difficult then. :/
I am thinking this is a hardware issue as well. My camera version is 4.0.522443. I remember updating the camera as soon as the update came out, sometime in January I think. It has been taking great photos since about a week ago. I haven’t installed anything new – just an update for ES File Explorer, which I uninstalled but it hasn’t made any difference in the quality of the pictures.
I may have to bite the bullet and send it in for repair.

I believe that there is a hardware problem, because the pictures are of a size less than 1M. Does your scripte media_profiles not solve the problem? I'm trying to copy and replace the orginal file, but by not giving Filexpert.

If u have this smudged or blurred issue with your camera my config won't help.
Best factory reset your phone but I doubt that will help either.
To copy over the media_profile you need root access first by unlocking your bootloader and installing super user rights, then just use copy over with a root enabled file browser like root explorer and reboot.

Calls dropping out

On my Verizon LG G3 sometimes people I am talking to complain that it sounds like I am getting far away and then they can not hear me for a second before the audio for them comes back. When I researched this other people with the Verizon G3 have had this issue and I am wondering now that custom recovery can be flashed, will custom roms/kernals fix this issue? it seems like there is something off with the noise cancellation and that is why it cuts out if not held just the right way.
Having the same issue, wondering the same thing.. Hope it'll 'get fixed' though.

What problems u having
Same problem here. Have found no solution so far...
Only started happening to me when they started rolling out VOLTE in my area.
I have always had it. Drives me nuts, but it's just hear and there. More annoying than anything I guess. Figured coming from T-Mobile it would be better voice. Boy was I wrong....
I disabled two items like call enhancement and background noise suppression or something like that and in call audio
issues went Away. I froze all vzw apps and lots of others and was thinking the combo may have been issue

I have voice enhancement unchecked but,I don't have an option for background noise suppression/cancellation. Is that an extra option that you need root to access? My solution for this issue is to sell my g3 and switch to a new phone.

Well I was able to install g3 tweakbox without root and saw the noise cancellation item and it was unchecked already. Not sure if it was because I was not rooted and maybe if i root and install exposed that when I go in it would be checked off for noise cancellation so that I could then disable it.

Software upgrade?

My phone's showing that there's a software update for our phone - download progress shows it to be about an 89mb download. Anyone have an idea what it's for?
Thanks!

I have the same bug and are some many people with this issue.
To test, try typing some words on the keyboard on the extreme of screen, like "que", it shows uqe or something else, the keyboard can't recognize fastly typing words.
I tried all the fixes posibles, used gboard and switft. The same problem.

Exactly thats the issue
But iam able to type que fast?
same problem. if the speed is fast it is unable to recognise which alphabet was pressed first.
Let's all report this! maybe the devs could fix this
It's soo annoying.
Same problem, if I try to type fast it felt slow down & left & right area of keyboard seems slow to me. PS : tired Gboard & SwiftKey
I had been writing about these issues but people have insulted me.
This is indeed a touch related problem, a lag in touch.
Since the touch digitizer responds to touches very late, fast typing confuses the device as to which letter was typed first. This is really funny that a device with SD845 is not even capable of recognizing what input came first.
This problem is also related to the multitouch issue.

Q&P?
Did you guys enable full screen gestures?
Try switch back to buttons? And see if the problem persists?
Make sure you guys disable slide three fingers down screenshot too
I think this gestures are causing some issues...
If I'm correct then disable full screen gestures should solve Q&P bug...
If the problem still persists then sorry.... Let's wait for the fix update...???
