    Definitely something going on over there that shouldn't be. That looks as if it was taken by an old VGA digital camera :eek:

    BTW it was formatted like that in the mail...hard to read!
    So they want me to do a hard reset after I just finished setting my phone up the way I like it :mad:

    Won't help at all tbh.

    You need a different/newer ROM. Are you running 2.2?

    Here's a few from mine. I always found the quality decent once you take a steady shot. Must be a hardware problem. As you can see from the filenames, 2 were taken with CameraZoom and 1 with the standard camera.

    I think you've just proved the point there. The difference between Camera Zoom (which appears to activate the auto focus) and the camera on the phone (which appears not to) is simply light and day :eek: in those shots

    I tried emailing and calling HTC this morning, but if a reset is their solution I'll give up. Meteor shop said I can return it to them (10 working days), or drop it into the local service centre. I think I'll do that next week.

    HTC emailed me back, they want me to drop it into the repair centre here.
    They better give me a replacement phone while they're fixing it.

    For what it's worth

    I noticed the same [blurry] problem with mine, but there wasn't the same problem with the phone back off. I'd tried cleaning the lens cover but couldn't clear whatever it was off it. The glass was cloudy somehow... anyway, I poked it out with a pen and I'm back to to clear [as they get] photos now.

    I tried that, the battery cover can cause some blurriness but not as much as we are getting. Definitely an auto-focus issue as macro shots are near perfect.

    I found that my pics on my Desire were deteriorating after three months. I had a closer look at the clear plastic on the rear cover that protects the camera. Seems that there were small scratches there so i took a small amount non abrasive polish and buffed the clear plastic and removed the scratches, worked for me.

    Got a Galaxy S today. Photos are pretty much equal when it comes to quality but focusing is a tiny bit better for all but Macro shots.

    Yup €99 on Connect €25.

    Not for me exactly, it's an upgrade for my father. But he's left it to me to get it all set up and for me to install some apps e.t.c.

    CPW, I think they sell it cheaper (Somehow) than Meteor themselves. I went in expecting to pay €179 so it was a nice surprise.

    If you're wondering about what I think of the phone relative to the Desire check out this thread

    Have you sent yours yet?

    I sent mine a week ago today, it arrived on Monday (GLS tracker), and confirmed (after making an enquiry) yesterday but told it will take up to another 7 working days to repair... :rolleyes:

    In the meantime I'm using a Nokia 3120, it's ridiculous. :pac:

    I seem to have this problem but it appears to be a dirty/greasy/scratched back cover causing it.

    I took the back cover off my Desire and took a picture and compared it to the same picture with the cover on.

    Thanks, but it is 100% a hardware issue.
