It looks like a bad sensor. Is it happening consistently in different camera apps? What happens if you try a camera app such as Camera360 that lets you alter the ISO (in normal mode)?
If possible, can you upload samples taken against a solid white background under even lighting?

Please, anyone??? i have the same problem.... i've changed the camera, still fail

sounds like a hardware issue gents.

I had the exact same issue on HTC G2, it's indeed hardware. The great news is it's just a mechanical issue: Push on the camera, perpendicular to the battery case (straight into the phone). It will fix this issue.
Lots of success with this method at androidforums. I cannot post a link, but google "androidforums evo camera 152727"
Cheers

+1. I had this with all three of the G1's I owned, and I had it with my G2 not too long ago. Not sure why this keeps happening, but just put the phone screen down on a table, and push down on the camera. One of the strangest fixes ever but hey, whatever works!

Hey,
Tried to go back to Stock Rom? Maybe there is a Bug.
Or your camera is defective.. but i don't think so.

This might be a silly question but were these pictures taken with your One X wearing a GREEN jelly/tpu case?
This happens on AOSP roms sometimes. I personally faced this problem too. Its one of the reason I hate AOSP roms. Camera is very very bad. Go back to stock and you will find there won't be green light issue.

Change colour balance, see if that helps
Change that settings too tonight after many shoots in a raw photos was better and better that make me think that isn't a hardware problem.
I attach another photo now is yellow...but I think is better, but I want to say that without flash they aren't green or yellow they are normal.

My one x does that too. There was some thread with a 'fix' for it. Search one x general. Post it here once you find it.
See if this helps

Instagram problem, photo getting zoomed in after snapping

Im a huge Instagram user and I've been having a problem when snapping photos using Instagram.
Whenever I snap a picture, the photo will be cropped off 1/2 in on each sides thus ruining the composition. There are no issues on video though/
I'm currently on Omega v18 (stock rom based) and Im not sure if it's a ROM-specific problem or just issues of IG with the Note 2.
Can anyone else try this and see if after snapping a photo the final photo will get smaller or like zoomed in than whats showing in the viewfinder prior to snapping.
Thanks.
4.1 update doesny fix it.
Anyone kind enough to check? Im pretty sure most of you have Instagrams :/
No one has instagram to test this out?
No issues here, see.

Hi Chobie,
I have the same problem as you example. I took a pic of an apple, fit it into the whole pic and then when i snap, the end result is not what was seen before i snap. It sort of zoom in/cropped the photo such that you dont see the whole apple & the sides have been cut off. I'm also using Note 2 & i dont know when did this problem occurs. I searched all over the internet but it seems that no one is having that problem. My sister is using S4 but she doesnt have this problem.
Did you manage to fix it? I uninstall and install back the app, no help at all

Thanks. Nope still no fix for it. I even reverted back to stock ROM to see if it's a ROM problem but it produces the same problem.
I've reported bug to instagram's website so you can probably report it as well to escalate the problem.
Hi,
Yup. I emailed instagram. Hopefully they can advise..

Is that the exact composition and frame of the photo before you took it?

Ugh. That's weird. I wonder what's wrong...
Happening to me as well. The only solution I could find was to disable the option to "Use Instagram's advanced camera" under "Advanced features". This way it uses the phones camera and then asks you to crop the photo on your own.
I hope they fix it soon.

I have the same problem. Samsung note 4. Stock Android OS. Instagram and an app called "paper camera" both have this issue.
I have the same problem too. I take a pic & it comes out all zoomed. I emailed IG but still no response. Anyone know how to fix camera zoom bug? I have S5
I have the same problem. Picture is zoomed after a picture is taken. Very frustrating. Clearing app data repairs the issued for just a while. Reported a problem to Instagram via in app feature. No response. I'm using Sony Z5, Android 7.0
9 Aug: Updated to Android 7.1.1. The problem still exists in Instagram. Very dissapointed. What's interesting - problem does not exist with a front camera. Has anybody found a solution?
Hey
The same things happening to my phone (Smasung S6) and I came to Google hoping to find a solution. It hasn't always been like this but now it won't go back and it only happens to instagram :/

I'm having this problem with Samsung Note8. Contacted Instagram, but these guys are not responding. That's a shame because I used Instagram frequently in the past.

[Q] Defective Device??? Not sure.....but I do have a big problem!

Any Camera app errors when switched to front facing camera. Snapchat also become unresponsive when switched to front facing camera. After many months of trying to figure out why, I've come to the conclusion that I must not have a front facing camera! I found this ridiculous since the G3 was advertised with one and even states on the T-Mobile site that it has one. I gave up on continuously clearing the app's cache and switched to google camera. (Its easier to switch to front camera on stock app than google cam) so as long as I didn't switch into the front camera the app worked fine and pictures with the rear camera are beautiful! I don't even get the blueish tint that many others get. After the lollipop update I can't even access my camera apps without them erroring or becoming unresponsive. Why would I be having so many troubles with a much anticipated cell phone that I tried very hard to attain? I would absotutelylutely love some help with this! I kinda need this phone to last me in good condition throughout college. Any and all help would be appreciated!
Thank you.

are you running any custom roms?
Sounds like he's on a bad ROM with a bad camera app...that or a kernel with bad camera support

I am not rooted, stock lollipop update from T-MOBILE.
You were 100% stock and not rooted and took the update?....have you talked to tmo?

No, not yet. I wanted to see what someone here on XDA would know about it first. Maybe if rooting would be a good idea? But yeah I see what you're saying. I should probably check with T-Mobile.

Pictures of LED Lighting

Anyone else have this issue?
Taking pictures of LED lighting seems to have this effect.
Using the front facing camera does not have this issue.

I saw this before after an update to the HTC Camera app from the playstore. It was a while ago and I don't remember which rom I was on at the time or when exactly it got corrected. I am currently on FluentRom 3.0.1 Running the HTC Camera V.7.30.581119 from Jul 23, 2015 and I do not have it happening. I also have the Camera Mod installed from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/camera-tweak-thread-to-make-m9s-camera-t3219828, but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I do know that mine was not caused by a dirty lens though.
YES. I'm on stock, not rooted. Use Camera Zoom mainly but it happened across multiple camera apps so it's got to be a hardware interface issue
Tapatalk is crashing every time I try to insert an example pic, but it looks just like yours.

Interesting; also on Fluent on my non-test M9, where I haven't seen this, but I saw this phenomenon when shooting candles from an M9 running a test Marshmallow build.

Camera, very poor focus.

Hi all
What's everyone using for your camera app?
I find the standard camera OK for stills, but the auto focus is awful, I've not managed to take a picture of anybody's face without blur,picture gets deleted straight away.
Quite disappointed, my Nexus 5 could at least take a picture of someone smiling without blurring.
No issues here using the stock camera ...
Have you tried other apps? If yes, are results better?
Some people were reporting hardware related focus issues. Check different apps, if all have problems focusing it's probably hardware's fault. (but it's also pretty easy to fix).

I've tried a cold of apps(snap camera, and a old version of Google camera) snap camera seemed slightly better but kept crashing. How would a hardware fault be easily fixed?
Im running freedom rom latest community build.

Multiple people reported fixing the problem by stuffing something in the gap beside the sensor (the phone needs to be opened, obviously). There is a video guide, if I remember correctly (sorry, don't have links).
