Camera problems

[methos123]

Hello, I just joined today. I activated my HTC touch pro on the 5th of Nov. I have to say that the battery SUCKS if you leave a bunch of applications going in the background and do not cancel them when done. My battery only lasted about 4.5 hours or so of not much use at all the first day. However, I am new to WM OS, and I noticed after about 4 hours that I had a bunch....about 7 or more apps in the background going. Today I had a full charge at 5:30am. I used it medium to heavy all day long and did not need to plug it up until about 7:30pm. That is still lacking if you ask me, considering everything that you can do with this baby. But, acceptable for now. I would suggest buying a car charger with this phone for sure. I love the phone, but I am having some issues with the camera.....it will not take a clear picture at all!!! A 3.2 MP camera is nothing if it will not take a clear pic! I hold the phone as steady as I possible can...no matter what it will not take an acceptable pic. It gets a little better with flash, but still not good. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks,

Had this same problem.. for me it was a problem with the auto-focus feature. When taking a picture, try resting your thumb on the circle d-pad (but don't press, just touch) and waiting until you hear a high-pitched beep and the square in the middle of the screen turns green. Then press.. I changed my auto-focus features so I didnt have to do this although the pics are slightly less sharp. Try fooling around with it.
