Man, this is a very well known issue. The WP7 needs a 2 stage camera button, and HD2 camera button only has one stage. It's not a setting issue. You can another app to the camera: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942605
Good luck

use the sh camera app ........or another way is to press video mode,let it focus and then toggle to camera mode and snap photo

Nice one! Thanks guys :-D

HTC Camera Geotagging

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way of geotagging pictures shot with the htc camera. I currently have wm 6.1 and htc camera version 5.07. I tried the reg hack in the p9 folder setting enable to 1 with no gps camera option appearing. Any advice would be great! Thanks

screen going white when taking photo

Hi,
After you press the icon it autofocusses and then the screen dims white and then you can hear the click. The photo is ok.
If I do this in panoramic mode it seems ok.
Anyone ever had this issue or a fix?
thx
Yep, that's how it works! Think this started from the camera software port from the Topaz or Rhodium devices so I assume you have a custom rom?

Hi PiLoT, you saved my ... nightrest.
Checked out the forum but guess my keywords did not make it.
I wonder why they changed that since it makes it look .. weird and uncomfortable.
IMHO its slighlty fast autofocus
well i seem to get faster autofocus anyway
Yeah, I always felt the new camera software was faster when taking snaps. Not to bothered about the white screen personally.

Try this cab
What's the difference between the 2?

thanks,
tonight I will try to install the cab on my ROM and will let you know if it works
The difference between 6.28 and 6.15 is to autofocus.
In 6.28 comes into operation when you do the photo, while the 6.15 is "continuous" so the shot is faster and pictures less moves
this is my experience
yeah ive found the same, with the later camera it takes ages to focus, you end up trying to stay still for what seems like forever!
Did the cab work ok? If so i'll install it too.
MOD EDIT - Moved to General Discussion forums as not related to Rom Development

How to check the version of the camera?
in Options/Advanced/Info On
Hi works perfectly for me thanks.
is there any camera that has zoom? I use energy roms and the camera is kind a lame...
Is there any way to change the camera orientation using the regedit? I have updated my Touch HD camera from 6.6 to 6.15. The photo in portrait mode is landscaped.
I have Version 6.16
Is this a positive or negative?

You right man, I tried 6.15 instead of 6.28 and it's faster, AF looks really better.
Thanks for the thread.

Camera issue on af
Hi users of Touch HD, I've recently acquired a Touch HD and was very pleased with it. However, I got an issue with the camera.
To those parents out there who like to take candid photos of our children would understand what I meant. I try to take photo of my 2 year old daughter who is always playing around. When I press the only button, it will take a while to focus then "snap". By the time it "snap", it's not the picture that I wanted. Anyone has this issue or any ways to counter this problem? I know dedicated camera would not have this issue as the button would have 2 actions " focus" then "snap". Hope to hear from the pros here.
hello!
i have a stock ROM with 6.6 camera, i am now going to try the 6.15 in this topic, but i would also like to try the 6.28, can someone by any chance post a cab with the 6.28 camera?
i have another question, with the 6.6 camera the autofocus only works after i press the shot button, and in other rom i had the camera made the autofocus before pressing the shot button. how does the 6.15 work, and the 6.28?

Hi,
When I used wm6.1, I was able to zoom on a picture by making a circle on the screen.
Now I have the wm6.5 energyrom and I would want to be able to zoom again but I have no idea what version it used to be and where to get it.

Skype mobile - video calls with REAR camera

Yesterday a friend of mine showed to me how he uses iPhone 4 and video call features with BOTH front and REAR cameras!
Yes REAR camera...I was surpised. iPhone 4 has an internal application which allows for video call using both cameras.
Now I wonder: is it possible to customize skype mobile (or other similar chat applications) and force it to use our HD2 REAR camera (due to lack of front camera)?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo866
If anybody knows about a chat application (for windows mobile) which uses rear camera, please can he submit?
Thanks a lot!
S.
any idea?
I will appreciate
Saulo
In my many years of using Windows Mobile I have never heard of an application like this. Sorry.
I'm interested in this question too.
What about the "Video Share Mode" (Tip 14)?
Using the rear camera it would be possible to have video calls (using a mirror).
Skype for WinMo is not supported anymore. The last Skype-version for WinMo 6.5 has NO videocall-feature !!!!
And there will never be, since Skype will not be updated for WinMo any more .........
BTW: use search function and You will find all answers
Hallo Troed
Thanks for your suggestion...but I really tried the search function on many key words...
Can you please be more specific? Which search keyword did you input?
Or which apps/products did you find that might provide chat and video call features?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
Hallo pdahunter
In my opinion if such a chat application does exist, it does not need a mirror: in fact the mic is omnidirectional and the speakerphone capability of HD2 are awesome, so I would simply turn my HD2 180 degree (on vertical axis) and use as it is, pointing the rear camera to my face.
Thanks for your ideas!

So how do you see the other person who is taking to you
simply I do not see the remote party (mostly my mother and my brother).
What I want is to have my mother (which is far away) capable to see my kids.
I would be satisfied for that.
Thanks

Videoconferencing friends this could not be done with fring or nimbuz. This already happens with the iPhone 3Gs??

Back when i had my cingular 8525 (hermes) i was
also obssessed with trying to find something similar.
Eventually i did find something that Microsoft was working on
it was fairly old, WM2003 i believe and i remember on the website
it had a PPC with a camera attachment on top (very old looking website).
i never downloaded the app because right around that time i killed my data plan and nor longer saw a need for it. I think it was compatible with windows Messenger.
Microsoft Portrait - http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/portrait/
for videocalling, I just use skype on a laptop. Not really interested in using it on my phone.
Since skype is NO more supported, which are the best chat applications (with video call) that can compete with skype for windows mobile?
Thanks
Saulo
deal all
Any more updates? Any WM compatible video calling application, besides skype?
Thanks
Saulo

I would also like to know....
Please some one help us out
I got some hints about nimbuzz and fring, but do they have video call capabilities?
Can they run on WM 6.5?
Thank you
Saulo
Maybe this thread will show no more additional contributions...but I wish to try again: any feedback about Nimuzz and fring, as skype replacement?
Any idea if they can use the rear camera of HT2?
Thank you
Saulo
