This might be an obvious suggestion, but try cleaning the camera lens.

I seem to remember there being an issue with pink spots in the center of photos in some phones. I'd take it back to the store & exchange it if you're within your 2 weeks, otherwise call T-Mo & see about getting a warranty replacement.

too late to exchange? If not.. I dont know why you're still online and not in the store lol

it's too late i have had this phone for a month now,and just noticed this problem ,
been distracted with the faulty screen (vertical lines and blobs) for that issue i had to send the phone to samsung repair,
and now i have to deal with this issue,I don't even like to use this phone anymore !
so disappointed with samsung

so Does everybody think that it's a hardware problem ?
I just found out that the 1st device i got which i had to exchange because of the screen blobs had the same camera issue(pink patch at the center of the picture)while i was reviewing the pictures taken by that phone !

hehe. Me too I have the same problem.

I only notice this issue with a reflection of natural light and no flash. Are you taking the picture with flash?

That's the white wall with Auto everything, no flash under fluorescent lights.

the reddish picture is no flash with fluorescent setting for white balance.
The one with bright spot is auto everything with flash on a white wall under fluorescent lights. I think the problem is with the software tries to adjust the white balance.

Deng you I just took a picture against a white wall and I have that issue also good thing I just got the phone a week ago,

Try the miui cam.apk on your phone and see if it makes a different.

i just performed a test and think others should try this. I noticed you guys took a pic of a white background or wall so i did same thing regular lighting no flash, and aimed at the wall i also seen the pinkish spot but as i panned my phone around it would fade away then come back as i panned. so then i took a still shot with flash off and had the same result as op. then i did the same thing with flash on and no pink spot at all. so i definitely think its a lighting condition that makes our phones show this weird shade or color. more light = no pink spot. but its weird cuz it seems to only happen on lighter backgrounds like a white wall and such. because that is the only time i ever noticed this anomoly. and ive took a **** load of pics of my 1yr old boy, and girls
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------
i honestly dont see it as a big deal as this phone takes great pics

I used the miui cam still there , idk the issues on this phone are small and idk how I really feel about it haha I've only had this phone a week so far, came from a non issue g2x wich I was lucky

I see the pink spots at the center of the pictures under the day light ,and those spots turn greenish with the florescent light at night !
I think that affect the pictures quality ,
not sure what to do

Look here: http://pocketnow.com/thought/clarification-the-pink-spot-syndrome
Also note that sometimes it's green instead of pink.
I'm much more concerned about the blobs and lines.

The key difference is this camera issue can most likely be fixed in software, but the blobs/lines is probably a hardware issue.

It would help if you could provide us with some pictures of your phone.
I think it's a common issue with SuperAMOLED. I had a screen burned with Galaxy S top bar, where the battery icon was. You just have to live with it...
took some pics but its not very obvious on camera - guess i'll just live with it didnt realise it was a problem with super amoled screens tho!
I would return the phone to get a warranty-replacement.
Never heard of screen burn with AMOLED-screens before. I have my Omnia7 since November and there isn't the slightest hint of a screen-burn yet.

Go to Samsung Galaxy S i-9000 area and Search "Screen burn". Theres plenty of threads and posts about screen burn. Also Wikipedia confirms OLED displays burn in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_burn-in#Plasma_.26_LCD_.26_OLED
You can always try to replace it, but doubt it they will...

Oh...I just knew that blue colour will fade with time, not that it can burn in. But this happens when something like a logo is displayed for hours every day. I doubt that this effect is meant to happen with a phone display that is off most of the time and when it's switched on it displays a lot of different pictures and apps.
Hmm...I would definitely try to get a replacement -I won't accept a burned in screen.
Blimey this is like Plasma Display burn-in all over again....
Glad I have an HD7 then
Returning a phone for repair is so much hassle tho it can takes aggess and may even lose all my data on the phone (hmm unless latest update has that backup thingy) i'll leave it for now see if it gets anyworse! Other super amoled people beware!
Bought my Omnia 7 in germany and have also experienced a small form of burn in when I am surfing the web.
The 2 circles leave a burn in when I slide up the IE options bar. This fades away over time and is the same type of behaviour as on plasma TVs.
I wouldnt worry much about it if it fades away. Turn off your phone and check if the marks are still there! I am certain that they wont be!
But if they are ... get it fixed.
Hi, just a suggestion... Try to enter LCD test via samsung codes.. Search on this forum for samsung codes..
Yes, screen burn in is common with Super AMOLED screens. However, you shouldn't have a problem unless you leave your phone on (set to the highest brightness with a static image visible) for hours on end.
I've seen a large number of Galaxy S screens with imprinted icons on them, and the reason for that was because they were left on for hours.

I see you are on orange. Any warranty claim i have had with orange has resulted in a new handset being at my door the following morning. Pretty quick service.
I saw this on the Display Focus at my local AT&T. they have the demo mode going, so when it's not being payed with on top it always says Windows Phone and it got burned on.

Burn-in is actually the end results of some pixels faded more than others. So, yeah, blue color will easily have burn-in effect since it only lasts about 2000 hours.
I know that retuning the phone for repair will cause you wait for ages but there is not another way for it..So you should copy your private data in your laptop or any other storage device .So it will be kept safe with you...
Well i had the worst combination then because i had the blue theme setting and i decided to keep my brightness on full! so thats what caused it then!

Exactly. On my Captivate (Android), I found most of the wall papers on Android are blue themed. In early days of Nexus One, it was reported that using a red theme not only saves your blue pixels but also saves battery.
In comparison (2,000 hrs of Blue pixel life), modern plasma TVs typically has 80,000 to 100,000 hours of phospher life. So, AMOLED/OLED screen is way to easy to get burn in. The only saving grace is most ppl already move on to new phones well before all these panel life span issues show up.
I've uploaded some pics! One is not much use, i was amazed how microscopic my cheap webcam was!!!! but still it woulds seem the dark patch is growing and hmm i didnt know that about the blue pixels! wont be using that again!

Camera Fault - Yellow tint in corners during the shot and in the pics ?

Hey all,
I'm new to the forum. Did a search for this but did not get any hits.
I had an issue with one corner of my screen perpetually displaying a yellow tint while using the main camera that also translated onto the actual pictures.
Didnt see this on the front camera. So I assumed this is a one of hardware issue.
The dealer had the phone replaced 2 days after I bought it with a new piece (Part of their 7 Days - No questions asked guarantee). So far the issue hasn't surfaced.
I've tweeted HTC, but haven't got a response yet. Here is a pic with the tint in the top right corner - pic.twitter.com/epsvQRlP
Has anyone experienced the same issue. I know I've already got a replacement but in case this crops up again. I just wanted to make sure that this is a hardware fault.
Awaiting your thoughts / experiences.
Cheers.
well the yellow tints appeared on mine after 3 days of use. I replaced it with a new one. Thats all i can say, Some other people faced the same issue but told me that they waited for another week and the tints seemed to dissapear after some days.
Can you post a photo indicating the issue?

Compare the top right corner near the couch and curtains to the bottom left. The room was evenly lit.
I had yellow tint when I used the flash, but this only happened withthe flash returned and got a replacement still yellow not as bad but had gps probs so replaced that on 3rd started off yellow with flash but now when I wait for the metering to settle down seems to be ok so seems third time lucky for me

Lets hope the second times a charm for me. And if there is a recurrence, it happens before the 7 days are up....
I'm interested to know what the experience was like from someone who had the issue go away after a couple of days. It kinda sounds like a break-in period for the camera sensor (similar to buysing a new car).... Has it completely vanished after repeated use ?
Can you take a picture of pure white background e.g. like wall, sky?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
need a couple of pictures to see the problem! one picture doesnt help
My newest one x has this problem, any improvement with the latest ota?
I only see a yellow tint with shots taken indoors. Outside they are just fine.
My One X got the yellow problem when using the led flash. Comparing to my old desire, the flash in one X is more yellowish. It may be able to be rectified through software updates, setting the correct white balance for the LED flash. Hope HTC will solve that through the next update
try camera options, image adjustments, saturation set on -1
got the yellow **** when shooting with flash me too... without flash the pic looks ok, but when flash is on, skin become yellow, very ugly
I think your problem is linked to the white balance which is ****ed up.
I take some screenshots of the camera app phone with different white balance option like bellow:
The photos is taken without flash in front of my wall which is normally white.
Only the auto option is OK for me, the other options shows my wall yellowish or blueish.
I don't know if it is caused by the Eternity's kernel in my phone, have you have the same issues ?
Edit: No I didn't painted my wall in yellow or blue
same problem for me ... when I use flash it shows yellow photo ...I asked in service station but they say this phone is not to take pics in dark.. not ready to change phone.
Ok, I took some pictures outside and I can conclude the white balance option should be used at outdoor condition.
There are a few differences on the white which can be colder or warmer between the photos but not as strong as the screenshots above.

Premium suite freatures already on my GS3?

So the rollout for the premium suite has started in the UK at the end of december, i didnt get it yet but i did realise that some of the features of it have been on my phone since the JB update, those features are "smart rotation" and "low light camera". I'm not sure but i thought low light camera has been on my phone for quite some time.
There were a couple of Premium Suite features that made their way to the GS3 with the 4.1.1 update. Not any big ones though.
Alright, can't wait for the full premium suit!! hopefully it wont have to go through carrier check

I'm not seeing a low light camera option in my stock i747 camera settings in 4.1.1. I only see the option for taking "night shots", but it sounds as though you are describing something different.

Why i posted those pics is really how the low light mode takes great pictures without flash, in the upper picture, the only light is from the tiki hut and the pool, as in the second, the light is from the lights on the wall and the 2 lights on each side of my door.

Is there a hardware issue with the z1c camera and LED flash?

Good morning,
in a german forum android-hilfe.de there is a thread with pictures taken by a lime z1c with led light - all of the pictures have a yellow shine.
For me this looks like an hardware issues on ALL the z1c devices of the first charges but maybe in the black one the problem is not easy to see.
What do you guys think about that?
Here is the link to the thread with the pictures in first post:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/sony-xp...ei-der-verarbeitung-kamera-bilder-inside.html
Could the be a major issue of this brand new device?
GSMArena complained about some issues with their review model. My white one doesn't have any of these issues, seems fine to me
What the !?

I sometimes get a slight blueish shot but that's because of the.auto mode and not a hardware issue. Transfer the image to snapped and increase the warmth. Problem solved

It is a hardware issue. The problem is the back of the device. It reflects the flash light which then hits the camera lens.
I can create pictures under the same conditions with my Xperia T - but I don't get that fog-effect.

Flat glass can't reflect light into the.camera lense. But just out of curiosity I tested your theory. Covered the back in a matt vinyl. Same effect

@GR36 as far as I remember my physics classes refelctions can occur between every material Change, eg led-glass->glasscover->air
So a reflection would be possible, see my example:

Close Pictures are fine for me, too. But move away 1 or 2m. Please try again.

Tried various settings, all the same. I still think this might be resolved by new firmwares in the near future. If it would be some kind of hardware issue, wouldn't this also affect pictures taken from less than 3 meters distance like those?

Huh.. Seems that I was wrong. Took some automatic "sky at night" pictures - the pictures were blueish. Then I changed into Manual mode and got nice black pics. Seems the reflection is not really strong, but superior mode creates a superior reflection ._.

I don't expect full quality pictures at night, but you can definitely see that this is a hardware related problem (reflective back) - this is not what I expected from a 500€ phone. (I still like it, but I hate the fact that the camera fails so badly)

This is not the point. Even a weak LED flash must not (!!) mess up the pictures taken.
at least, Sony seems to be aware of the problem now. I'm curious how this will work out. Still thinking of a software related problem. (e.g. better controlling of the LED might help, like changing the time between shutter and light etc.)

Can confirm this issue on mine, though I think its impact is exaggerated. The only normal situation (i.e. not covering the flash with your finger) where you see the issue is on long range dark shots, on which you shouldn't really be using the flash anyway
Edit: took a few example shots.. (ignore the overall quality, didnt bother focusing properly)

Flash covered with a few layers of paper: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6953585/DSC_0048.JPG
And for completeness sake, flash covered with finger: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6953585/DSC_0051.JPG (should stress that my finger is not visible over the lens in the viewfinder, the colour here is purely reflection)
Guess what seems to fix the problem....

Who else has backlight bleed?

There have been a few reports on Reddit of backlight bleed in demo units. Personally, one of my Raspberry Rose units has the backlight bleed (between the home and app switcher buttons, aka circle and square) and the other does not. I created a form to get an idea if this issue is widespread (like the G2x) or if maybe it's just an early batch problem or it's really not a problem and just a few flawed units. Please contribute to the form either way, the more data the better.

For reference, this is a bad case of the backlight bleed:

I have a slight bleed at bottom that I would never noticed without you pointing it out.
I have it as well right in between the circle and the square button...not cool for a brand new phone to have this problem right from the start...time to have Verizon send me a new one

Sorry! It's not noticeable on certain screens, seems like solid white/light gray is most prone to showing it. My G2x didn't have much bleed, but that had a whole class action lawsuit against it.

Light bleed is a complaint on a lot of devices even tv's.
I as well have the light bleed in that same exact spot. Yours looks a lot worse than mine though. To be honest, I think it's mainly an LG thing to have something slightly wrong with their displays. I've had their v10 and every flagship after that besides the v30 and they always had that slight light bleed issue

Yeah, but at least the V10/20 had a secondary backlight with a weird screen design to blame it on. I'd actually understand it more if the bleed on this one was around the notch, the bottom doesn't make much sense.

I think it does since the bottom is where all the ports are.
There's a tiny amount of backlight bleed on mine. Right at the bottom of the screen, just like in your picture. Just not nearly as bad. In fact, I didn't notice it until I went looking for it. Picked up a gray one from T-Mobile yesterday.
Just exchanged mine at TMobile. Exact location of bleed

Did it fix it?
I had a small mark at the exact same spot as the OP so I will be exchanging mine at Tmobile when they open in 2 hours.
In my experience, bleeding does spread over time. I am on Jump on Demand and will probably only keep this for less than 6 months but still, now that I have noticed the spot, it will drive me nuts.
Yep, new one is flawless
why is that more with the gray one ?
Well, thanks for that. Just realized I have one in the exact same spot, too. I don't think it will drive me nuts, but now I know it's there.
im on HK/SG set. my screen is perfect.. no such issue
I have the light bleed as well, I bought mine off craigslist and now I can't even walk into a store to exchange. So looks like I'm screwed and can't even exchange. And I don't know if LG will do anything if I contact them. They rejected my LG promise registration for 2nd year warranty since I didn't buy directly from an authorized retailer.

you should still have manufacturer warranty. you'll have to sent it into LG, but they'll have to fix it.

Thanks hopefully they do since I can't unsee the light bleed now.
