LOL, yea that 30 seconds to auto-focus is kinda ridiculous......

The POS camera is virtually worthless for taking pics of my 8 year old daughter.......

I think it takes decent pictures for a phone camera, but I hate that "auto focus".....taking a pic it's like "I just pressed the button stay very very still.....ok keep still....stay put.....oko it finally took the pic"......
Deffinately not ideal for the quick snapping of a pic that (I feel) made camera phones so popular. "Hey look at that funny thing on the side of the road....wich I had a camera...wait my phone." whip it out, snap, gotta pic....

Exactly.

My Wife has an old Samsung flip phone (it's at least two years old) that is simple to take a quick snapshot with (she uses it all the time). It is 1.3 megapixel, there is almost no shutter lag at all & the pics are just fine considering it's a camera phone.

The pics are slightly better quality from the TP, but who cares?? (If I want super quality, I have a Canon D-SLR I can use) It takes so damn long to focus with the TP that I don't even bother with it most of the tiime. There is NO WAY my 8 year old can hold still long enough (by the time it focuses she is making fun of it.....)

I know what you mean. I used to take pictures ALL the time with all my other phones (starting with the old Sanyo 8100 I had, it was the first camera phone I had)....but with the TP not so much cause of that damn autofocus. They should just do away with it, or put in the option to not use it....

I will look again, but did not see anything that helped with that dang 30 sec autofocus......I don't really need or would use some of the extra features/enhancements.....

At most my camera takes only 1-2 seconds to focus. If you are getting 30 seconds something is wrong with your camera of the program.

Hey guys, I have the Vogue but am looking at possibly getting the Touch Pro. Like many of you, I have no interest at all in TF3D. (I've installed custom roms on my Vogue which have TF2D, and functionally it just isn't as good as good today screen plugins like Pocket Plus)

So I played with a TP in a Sprint store today, and noticed the big "home" and "back" buttons. These seem designed around TF3D. For those of you who have disabled TF3D, are these buttons now useless? Can you remap them to be "start" and "close" buttons instead?

Thanks for any info!

Try setting the brightness at -2, that is similar to raising the ISO & gives a faster shutter speed that speeds things up a little.

Also, turn off the shutter sound (if you haven't already)

30 seconds was an exaggeration (it just SEEMS that long) but I have never seen ANY TP AF in one second either........

I don't run TF3D on my TP and the Home button takes you back to the Today screen.... and the back button (depending on how it's implemented in each program) will take you back.
I'm fairly certain they can be remaped with a reg-edit although I don't know exactly what the reg-edit is.
