bad rectification and high rms returned by stereoCalibration

Hi, i have some problems while computing rectification of stereo pairs: stereoCalibration returns an high rms error and i obtain bad rectification pairs. I tried both my rectification program and the stereo_calib.cpp provided with opencv. They both returns similiar rms errors. Plus, i ran my program with the sample stereo pairs in opencv/sample/cpp and i got correctly rectified images. So i believe the problem is in the way i take stereo picture, is it possible?

I use the stereo camera of an Htc Evo 3D (a 3D smartphone) taking pictures of a chessboard pattern. I tried to change the number and the set of pictures used as input but the littlest stereoCalibration rms i got was around 1.5 and the rectified images are totally wrong.
Is there any "suggested" way to take a set of pictures for calibration? Thanks, Andrea
