Here's a photo I took with an HTC Inspire camera. I cropped and sized it down a little.
I'm concerned about the lack of detail, I mean, look at the blue car etc. Is it what you would expect with a phone camera? I admit light was not huge but there's generally a lack of detail.
That photo definitely doesnt look right. The colors are blotchy and pixelated. Typically that means the sensor is not working or the processor (after the photo was taken) isnt processing the image correctly.
Based on the off colors and pixelization I think its the latter and a sampling issue.
Factory Resetting your device can very likely clear it up.
When I look at these photos on my phone, at the default size, they look okay.
Perhaps we're expecting too much from these photos.
When I zoom in, I start seeing the weird blotchiness etc.
Yeah on a small screen they will look fine. But I can tell you, that even in daylight, you shouldnt be experiencing that level of noise. Its pretty bad even if you cropped it down.
I know HTC isnt exactly known for their optics, but even then. Do you have other samples that you can share. That would definitely help to identify.
Those appear to be compression artifacts, see if there is setting for "fine". Setting it to fine mode (or whatever they might be calling it) will produce larger sized files, note that isn't larger sized in pixel dimension but larger file size.

Yes, this. It definitely looks overly compressed.
The camera app has a setting for how much compression to apply before storing the file. Look for a "quality" setting in your options. It could be set for maximum compression/minimum file size. Go for max quality instead. If that slows down the camera app too much, or if you're getting low on free space, go for medium quality, and it will still be better than that.
Another possible source of compression is from the messaging app. If you're using the built-in messaging app to send these photos to your computer's e-mail, it might further compress the jpeg file before it sends the MMS message. Try using the phone's email app instead (send the photo as an attachment), or else hook up the phone's USB cable to your computer and copy the files directly.
