Hot fix for Touch Cruise photo quality issue

If you zoom in on a captured photo and notice grainy, maze-like patterns within the image itself (this problem is caused by too much sharpness enhancement being applied in bright-light environments), please download and install this hot fix to solve the problem. Sharpness parameters within the photo will then be reduced with only a minimal loss of image sharpness.

Hmm, never noticed any issues myself I must admit.

Nor have I, but it is here for the few that may have.

True. Mind you as I use the Resco photo album it may not be an issue for me.

"The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable."

Any other links to the file?

The link is now working for me, it does get busy at times you just need to retry.

There is another hotfix which sorts out the blur of the images.

Noticed how it takes forever in low light for it to focus and then take an image? Its because the HTC phones apply a light filter to video and photos taken.

If you turn the light filter off it makes the htc phone perform nearly as well as it should.

Open up the camera app.

Put your finger over the lens and then press the power button to put the phone into sleep mode

wait 5 secs and then press the power button to take it out of sleep mode.

The only thing is that the colour temp of the images isnt calculated automatically. Ive not tested to see if you can set it manually.... ive just made do with the blue temperature.

Welcome to 4WM rikpotts- thanks for some useful posts

Which device do you use?

rikpotts · 22-11-2008, 11:33 AM

My main phone is an XDA Orbit II but have a Touch Diamond to play with too.

I should add that there is no way of automating or making permanent the fix I posted previous to this post. You have to perform that trick every time you want to use your camera.

Thanks for the welcome!
