Hi,

the same issue here: blurred photos and videos on the left side.

The DHD is an unbranded german vodafun device.

I sent my DHD the first time to the official repair partner of vodafone (its the same repair partner for HTC). The flashed the firmware again and replaced the DHD's cover:

No improvement - same bluriness like before....

So I sent it back on monday and I'm looking hopefully forward that they will replace the camera module. This time i wrote a really detailed error description and put a sample photo to the packet - if they don't replace the camera they will be a very bad repair partner.....

By the way, I have tested 6 DHD's the last time and 3 of them had the bad camera issue on the left side...I think this will be a production error on a bad charge.

I will post the result when my DHD arrives here.

Greetings

[Desire HD General] Stormingsoul:
when i see the pictures the DHD's take after repairs, i'm starting to doubt if my pictures have it as well... (a complete blurr then)

Could someone take an independent look at it? :P
[Desire HD General] krogoth:
It seems that mine is also defective, it's not really visible in macro photos but very strongly in landscapes...

Does anybody from Poland tried with our beloved "regenersis" HTC service?
[Desire HD General] mariog9:
I'd say your camera is perfect, same with mine(I think...), at least, I haven't encountered any problem
[Desire HD General] urkee:
A little bit off topic:

Is just me, or all desire HD devices have this "click" sound from lens when focusing/taking a picture of a close object, e.g PC monitor?
[Desire HD General] krogoth:
Yes, lens is moving and You can notice this sound in every camera with autofocus.
[Desire HD General] urkee:
Ok, thank you!

I had desire, omnia 7, N97 and a few more, but the sound was not so loud like desire HD... The first time I heard that i tought i broke the phone or something...
[Desire HD General] tuningmania:
Hi,

I have the same problem with my "HTC Desire HD" - annoying blurriness in the left side of every photo :( I connect (by e-mail) "HTC", they aks me to send some photos from my "HTC Desire HD" and after that, told me, to go to the local service, for repair :( I am very disappointed from "HTC". I will try to ask for exchange the local dealer, but I thing - this is "Mission Imposible" in my country - Bulgaria. Here, in country of Europe (what a shame), we must pay the price for good quality products, but receive defective ones :( I will make a complaint agains this injustice in every institution that comes to my mind. If any changes happnes with my problem, I will write here, to let you know.

And something els.. Sorry for my poor English (shy)..
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
I have little circle smudge mark on the in side of the lens glass , also the camera is not aligned. I've spoken to HTC yesterday and I have arranged for them to pick it up on Thursday .. UK
[Desire HD General] arjunr24724:
why dont I see the bluriness on any of my videos???

Another thing is that photo looks fine on screen an instant before the shutter clicks. then it becomes blurred.
[Desire HD General] devabhishek:
solution ----- but not sure

when you are taking images the phone automatically focuses the camera ....

hence the targeted area becomes sharp and the sides becomes blur..

it is called auto focus... if you disable this feature (auto focus) then you will get

pictures with even focus.. that is it would not be targeting any area..

so i think you just need to disable auto focus for pics of scenery
[Desire HD General] juliush1:
works pefectly on my DHD!!! :D
[Desire HD General] aliveanddead86:
I also have this problem. Just emailed orange and HTC about it, asking what they can do to fix it (uk), to be honest I never really noticed this problem until I went on here! However, now I look through my pictures, I can see every single on is blurred on the right.

Matt

Edit - They admitted that there is something wrong with the camera, so that's a good start... Hopefully I will have mine back to normal soon enough. 7-10 days without this phone though, think I'm going to go mad!
[Desire HD General] AndriodLover:
I'm sending line back on Thursday .. I think I will totally got mad like u said without my phone :( ..
[Desire HD General] aliveanddead86:
Yup, mine is being collected on friday.

I'm tempted to put in a few pictures so they can see the blur for themselves, along with a sheet detailing whats wrong. At least then it has less chance of being returned without anything done.
[Desire HD General] Dutchship:
Could you or anyone else that has had work done please put up any before/after shots to show the difference.
[Desire HD General] AndroidLEK:
Take a look on page 11 at post number 109. This is my before & after the repair which was carried out on my DHD for the faulty camera.

[Desire HD General] aliveanddead86:
My phone is currently being tested, apparently, and has been for the last 2 days...

Probably just flashing the new firmware... I bet nothing will be done regarding this issue until I jump up and down about it all.

Matt
[Desire HD General] anaskr:
no issues wid mine lol
[Desire HD General] NiarkMAN:
No issue with mine to
[Desire HD General] arjunr24724:
I found that disabling auto-focus makes a major improvement in the pics. In fact, most cases I dont see any blurring at all.
[Desire HD General] georgito:
Have to agree, without autofocus pictures looks better, sharper..
[Desire HD General] jaaystott:
right side of my camera is blurry.
[Desire HD General] krogoth:
After warranty repair i've received new camera module. Now my photos are SUPERB in quality... BUT - new module is 4,9mm instead of 4,6mm , macro photos needs AT LEAST 15cm to focus and video quality has drastically dropped.
[Desire HD General] Calamity88:
my desire is clear :D
[Desire HD General] aliveanddead86:
Same as mine... It is still being "tested", apparently they have relocated their service centre, and just didn't tell me when I booked it in for repair... Useful

Matt
[Desire HD General] jpinky:
no noticeable issues on mine and it even has a protector over the lense which I would expect to cause some blurring.

Running CM7 final with Lordmod kernel
[Desire HD General] modlar:
Problem solved !

Guys,

if is picture blurred Your camera module is bad.

HTC now confess this.

Go to Your service and new camera modul will solve this problem.

JUSTLIKETHAT...
[Desire HD General] t-bon3:
This is the problem I have. Close up / macro works fine but other photos over ~4m are blurry, even if infinity focus is set.

We shall see....
[Desire HD General] stezo2k:
Mine are blurry to the side, turned off auto focus and all seems ok
[Desire HD General] humbi83:
Clear desire

No problems here but it happens that I get the finger too close to the flash and I get the pictures watered out.
[Desire HD General] aliveanddead86:
Well mine was eventually sorted out last friday. HTC Ended up sending me a brand new Desire HD as they took so long repairing mine, and constantly saying it will be ready in 5 working days...

Here are my before and after images, shows how long they took with my phone as the tree outside has bloomed quite nicely! I am aware the lighting conditions are different, but just look on the right hand side at how clear it is now to before.

There really was a fault with one side of the camera, and now it is perfectly clear!

Matt
[Desire HD General] :
I didn't notice this problem. To be sure, I captured some pictures, but I don't see anything wrong.
[Desire HD General] DubelBoom:
nothing for me.... i have sand on my camera :D
[Desire HD General] terence0103:
dont see much differences :D
[Desire HD General] aliveanddead86:
Look on the right hand side, especially the darker picture, the window frames which are white are blurred, and look at the silver car, it starts off ok, then blurs the further right it goes.

If HTC were trying to repair it (but awaiting the camera for 4 odd weeks) then they must've seen something wrong as well :P
[Galaxy Tab General] cwakerly:
Hello there

Have searched here but can't find any similar posts.

I have an unlocked uk tab rooted with z4root.

I think I may have incorrectly added a US flash clockwork recovery. When I open rom manager it notes that I have clockwork mod 2.5.1.0. Before I used to be prompted to pick a flash work recovery att etc

I am worried that if I create a backup of the rom via rom manager it will cause problems. I am very keen to flash cyanogen mod when available.

I am I right to worry or should it be ok to backup using rom manager and then flash a euro rom when available?

Tab details are

Model gt p1000

Firmware 2.2

Base band version p1000xxjk5 recently upgraded

2.6.32.9 root@se s611 #1

Build number froyo xwjj7

Any advice is much appreciated.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] qman66:
this phone better ship with gingerbread since its not even due to come out till q2 especially if theyre gonna lock the bootloader again. if this thing ships with froyo which would be nearly a year after froyo came out it could be a deal breaker for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] raydm:
True .. Or may be honey comb.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] infazzdar:
Honeycomb would be nice, but I don't believe that Motorola would have any interest of using it on a phone.

Although, recently I have seen that Honeycomb has some sort of seperate 'mode' for use with phones instead of tablets.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] BlackOtaku:
They're already shooting for Gingy on the Droid X. Moto has a decent track record on their Droid phones, so I'm not worried about updates. Well, as long as Verizon doesn't rush them... *coughcoughDroidXandBugInfestedFroyocoughcough*
[Motorola Droid Bionic] erismaster:
It doesn't really matter what this phone ships with imo. Google is already close to finishing android 2.4 also named gingerbread. If I'm not mistaken android 2.3 cannot fully take advantage of the dual core or something related to dual cores. I guess it'll be a major minor update haha. I guess well see.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BlackOtaku:
The Bionic will most likely have an SMP-enabled kernel like the Atrix (meaning, it will support the dual-core processor fully despite running 2.2 from day one).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] erismaster:
I re-read the article I got my info from and I guess the 2.4 upgrade is for dual core apps to run on single core phones.
[Android Apps and Games] miticogiu:
Hi,

I newly installed ADWLauncher, got a theme and was customizing it.

Then when I changed a folder name, it crashed (The application ADWLauncher EX (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly).

It crashes as soon as it is launched. Worse, because it is set as default launcher, it restarts when I "Force close" it and crashes again.

There is nothing I can do but to press the Force close button.

Can't do anything from computer because I can't turn on the USB debugging mode...

Any help?

[Android Apps and Games] jackiechan8:
He can't go to settings because the launcher is crashing. Press the search button, and search for market, and launch it from the search. Then download another launcher and then when pressing the home button it asks again which launcher to set as default.

If you don't have search button, you can try long pressing the home button, and going to last used apps. If there's either settings or market you can download another launcher, or delete adw from settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Vanquiz:
Hmmm, I think you can start the phone in safe mode, turn it off, hold the menu button while turning back on. Then go to setting, manage application, adw, and clear default.

Or you might have to take off the battery to completely shut it off if you have Fast boot mode on. Reboot like usual to exit safe mode.

If you want it to flip use a Sense HD/Z rom or look if this thread is what you want, the normal Desire rom's don't have a flipping clock.

[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
I thought it'd be good if we had a centralized thread with all reported prices from various retail/online locations.

Store - On Contract/Off Contract

Amazon.com - $149.99/$599.99 with FREE Shipping and NO Tax

AT&T - $199.99/$399.99/$499.99 ($100 rebate)

Radio Shack - $149.99

Wal-Mart - $129.99 (new contract before 2/24)

If you see a price somewhere, make sure to report it below!
[Atrix 4G General] LockeCPM4:
I am willing to bet it wil run $199 from AT&T stores and att.com.

Also, I would caution people about buying from sites like amazon.com, letstalk.com, and wirefly. They charge their own ETF for things as simple as changing your plan too much. Just be careful.
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
I'm also thinking AT&T will do it for 199.

Duly noted on the other sites.
[Atrix 4G General] g0at:
Support this thread. Will you also be updating OP with EU / UK prices?
[Atrix 4G General] kennethpenn:
Sure! Let's do it!

Any Europe prices leak out yet?

I know Bell (Canada) did their official announcement, but they left out pricing.
[Atrix 4G General] telder:
I've been with AT&T since it was bell south mobility TDMA (before Cingular), so suffering an ETF seems unlikely for me. However I've always either gotten hand me down phones or bought directly from the ATT store/site.

If my plan is stable (it is) and if I return the phone it is within the warranty period, what is my downside for saving $50?
[Atrix 4G General] shady_lanem:
any news on atrix gsm version price?
[Atrix 4G General] vido.ardes:
No one has a officially announced it outside out of AT&T (It was said Orange UK said they would get it, but I couldn't find anything from them directly), but I think it is because Motorola technically only announce the Atrix 4G, which is a AT&T specific version. The Atrix is on their website, but no one has announced it yet.
[Atrix 4G General] borguesian:
Friend of mine (AT&T employee) told me $500 for the bundle... laptop dock and phone.
[Atrix 4G General] stoli412:
If that's true, then it's seriously overpriced and will keep people away. Even if they throw in the multimedia and car docks, it's still $200 for the phone, $150 for the laptop dock, $60 for MM dock, and $40 for the car dock. That only comes to $450.

I suppose the phone could go as high as $250, or the laptop dock to $200, but I doubt it.

[Atrix 4G General] ydgmms:
anyone konw the Shack's offcontract price?

Also, to get the 400$ off contract price at att.com...can someone dumb down the requirements a bit? it still sounds to me you need a contract to get the rebate?

OR does it mean you have to currently be IN a contract (they won't extended/renew the contract).

ie) I'm currently going into my 2nd year of a 2yr contract. And very much want the phone off contract. Will getting it off contract nullify(read:etf me) my current one. Or just keep going just with a new phone.. all @ the $400 price.

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] IceManiac88:
You can do an early upgrade with ATT and pay approx. $350 - 400 at any BestBuy or ATT store ($200 more than the upgrade pricing)
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
That's odd, I paid $199 at the Shack for my Evo the first weekend it was out, as a new customer.
[Atrix 4G General] thatoneguy247:
An hour on the phone with AT&T and I'm getting the atrix for cheaper than on a new 2 year contract, plus I'm keeping unlimited data with 4g for the same price as my old plan. AT&T is really delivering on customer service :D
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
so... how much are you getting it for?
[Atrix 4G General] matt11601:
Can someone explain to me how buying from a third-party works? I do not understand how & why Costco/Radio Shack would charge less than AT&T considering you're still an AT&T customer after the purchase. Plus, are there hidden fees I need to worry about when buying from a third-party?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've always bought phones from an AT&T store and wanted your guys' opinion. I am currently an AT&T customer and I AM eligible for an upgrade.
[Atrix 4G General] thatoneguy247:
$233 + expedited shipping and whatever account charges or something

$269 total
[Atrix 4G General] Bigsam411:
Third party retailers get a bounty for activating phones. This means that if they activate a phone, the carrier gives them money to cover the cost of the subsidy on the phone, and have a bit left over for profit. Sometimes the third party retailer uses that profit to make the upfront cost of the phone even less. They then try to make back that profit by selling marked up accessories/warranties.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
The 150 Radioshack price is really tempting; if.it does come out at that and I do happen to just have the cash on me... I might just spend it for the phone.

I really wanted tthe Captivate 2 but there's no telling how long until that comes out.

Also I have the Captivate now and I might get bored of the Galaxy S 2 later down the line....

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Atrix 4G General] sdlopez83:
So here's my question. I convinced my step mother to give me her ATT upgrade for Xmas. She has a regular plan, regular phone(not a Smartphone).

I see you have to get a internet plan with it. Was wondering if I get her to get the plan, can she cancel it next month?

Endgame, I put my ATT unlimitted sim in the phone and get an Atrix?

what do you guys think?
[Atrix 4G General] matt11601:
Ahhh I see now. Thank you very much for the explanation. Are there any downsides to buying from a third-party? I expect everyone would rather pay $150 than $200.
[Atrix 4G General] [DT]:
When I bought my Captivate, I wasn't able to work out moving my unlimited plan through a non-AT&T Corp store (including online), not sure about the Atrix since I went directly to AT&T online.

What I *was* able to do, was get the upgrade/contract, $199 (free delivery) even though I'm only 7 months into my current contract. Don't know if it was a glitch, account status etc., but I'm happy I'm getting the phone I originally wanted (in terms of features) and only "losing" 7 months of contract time.
[Atrix 4G General] Battleship:
Depends on the third party. I bought my Captivate via Amazon for $45.00 and the only downside is that whatever plan you attach to the phone has to remain on your account for 6 months, so be sure you add what you're sure you want to keep for that long. You can go up - for example, you can buy the smaller data plan and trade it for the larger one - but you can't downgrade. After the 6 months are up, you can do whatever you want.

ETA you can downgrade, but Amazon will hit you with a huge fee.
[Atrix 4G General] jjm3175:
I'm curious to see what the "add a line price" will be from RS. On the ATT Premier website it's $199....$150 would be great especially if I trade in my iPhone & X10.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
would be nice to know the price for off-contract to non-att users like myself. I live outside the US so i would need to buy it online to ship it to one of those export companies that will later ship it down here.

If i can get it for 500$ or less i will buy it. 600$ is too much
[Atrix 4G General] matt11601:
@[DT] @Battleship

Thanks for the explanations. I feel more comfortable buying from Radio Shack now.
[Atrix 4G General] clockbox:
AT&T Upgrade Advantage

I checked on AT&T's website and I qualify for an AT&T Upgrade Advantage discount of $50. This means that I can get the Atrix on contract for $150 rather than $200. Does anyone know if this discount will apply if I go through a third-party like Radio Shack to get the phone? Getting the phone for $100 would be a pretty sweet deal!
[Atrix 4G General] LaZ8787:
AT&T Upgrade Advantage

I've been a member of AT&T for about 10 years. I'm still using my iPhone 3Gs that I got on launch day. Was anybody else offered an additional $100 off (any phone other than an iPhone) to renew?

I was able to pick this phone up for $99. Anybody else able to take advantage of this?
[Atrix 4G General] LaZ8787:
Probably not. For some reason they gave me $100 off on the Upgrade Advantage, so I placed my pre-order as soon as possible just in case it was a glitch! Good luck!
[Atrix 4G General] lost2030:
Radio Shack will be selling the Atrix with laptop dock bundle for $329.99 for anyone that is interested sounds like a great deal!

[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
for those that were waiting for wirefly to sell the atrix, they just fought with at&t and won't be selling their phones anymore starting march 1st. Since i don't think they would sell it for just a week, that would mean wirefly won't sell it.

I need amazon to sell this phone, only way for me to buy it and send it down here.
