The scene is a picture, at night, with a single compact florescent light bulb in the background, which has a warm tint to it, and the object is a black on white bed sheet. This is my second e4gt replacement. In daylight, I don't notice any color artifacts yet. Here's an example of no flash, flash and daylight cloud. Would you return it, hoping for a "perfect" replacement or say to hell with it and keep it? It must be a hardware issue because it does the same thing with FL24 and GB27. I never noticed this from my original, bought brand new, e4gt. The first replacement, the external speaker went out. The second, the camera is making a greenish tinge, always in the center of the picture, in low light but no scene setting. When I go outside at night and put the camera into night mode, I don't notice anything abnormal so far.
Something I just noticed while playing with the settings and modes. If I leave white balance in auto or incandescent, I get the discoloration in the camera. It is less pronounced in camcorder mode. It does it in all resolutions in the camera. If I switch the white balance to florescent, everything balances out, even though it's the wrong shade. It's more orange-ish than what my eyes see. Can anyone test this and see if your original, bought new, phone does this? I tried taking the same picture with a different smartphone, all with auto settings, and it didn't experience this issue. I'm sure it could be that it's because it's a different sensor. Here's my examples.

Try turning on Auto contrast, it fixed some odd discoloration problems for me, might work for you:beer:

My E4GT does not do this, I tried in all different resolutions and settings and everything came out perfectly normal and as it should be. No discoloration or artifacts... I'd wager to say that you should exchange it or return it and get another one. Something is definitely not right about that first picture. Hopefully that helps. Cheers!
Did a little homework and found the camera module is replaceable. I don't remember if I read if the camera's firmware was on the mother board or on the module itself. The post I read had to do with s2's in general. I'll go Monday and see if the service center will order me a new camera module.

Is this a software problem? 5mbpx and 8mbpx shouldn't be this huge of a difference.
Did you let it focus? I've taken fantastic pictures.

Yup, manual focus by touching on "Toast".

What exactly is your problem with those pictures?
Focus point is different in both pictures btw, the darker pic has it on the "Lenovo" and the lighter picture in front of the cup, I think.
Both really. The camera module isn't all that great and better software makes a difference. I rested the MIUI camera software, camera FX and stock and stock software was by far the worst. That being said my old incredible took better pictures overall with the MIUI app.

Taking a picture of a scene with a lot of black and white can confuse the metering system of camera every easily. You would need to frame exactly the same scene to compare them. The camera is trying to average the whole frame to 18% grey, so if you have a lot of black in the scene, then black part will be closer to grey than black. A lot of white part will also be closer to grey than white.
From sample pictures I've seen GN's camera seems to lack some contrast, but gets more details out of darker area than other cameras, which also induces more noise in a poor lighting situation.
Not sure if this will do justice, hope it's not too compressed.

I think this picture also shows what I said. It shows more details from shadow areas than pictures from other phone cameras, but because of that it appears to be lack of contrast (washout look if you will). I think it's definitely correctable via software if they choose to do it.

thanks static and koolbon i think you might have nailed it. i will do another test on dark and light - this time letting the camera meter the same way as the NS. in my first test, the GN metering/focus was on the cup.
its hard to take the exact same frame, NS had the camera offset from centre.
I just picked up a 2013 Nexus 7 this weekend as an upgrade for my 2012 model. Seems like a solid upgrade so far but I'm bothered by one item and it's the yellowish gradient toward the bottom one or two inches of the screen. I need to tilt the device maybe 15 degrees away from me to get a more consistent color. If I rotate the device 90 degrees counter-clockwise (camera now on the left), I can still see the yellowish darkening on light screens on the right. My 2012 model has consistent color throughout. I found a number of posts regarding people complaining of about a warmer color to the 2013 screen but haven't seen anything describing the gradient I see. It's rather annoying when reading webpages or ebooks with a light background.
Anyone else see this on their Nexus? Did it improve with time?
I tried to take a couple of photos but my camera doesn't seem to be doing a good job of picking up the colors.
Common issue
I returned mine (because of it) and got a new one which had exactly the same thing.
I also checked out a friend's N7 and had the same thing.
So I guess it is a normal thing. It is hardly noticeable and only on white background.
(Most panels have some kind of uniformity issues. I checked an iPad 3 and had some other issues...)

Thanks for the feedback. This is actually driving me nuts and I'm going to take it back to see if I can get one with at least less of the effect. Mine seems to be worse than the display model in the store I saw today. If they can't give me something that's equivalent in color consistency to my 2012 Nexus 7 then I'll return it and just stick with that.
If I were you I wouldn't bother.
In the store there are other ambient factors that may trick you in believing the store's sample is batter. But it will not.
3 samples I checked are exactly the same...
My device have yellow tint to. How to fix? "Screen adjuster" and other not helped for me.

I don't believe that this is correctable with software. I ended up getting a different tablet altogether and even this 10" one has the same issue. Guessing these panels are all coming from the same manufacturer....
Searched, didn't see a similar topic.
If you had Android Wear 1.0 through about 1.2 on your phone, your Moto 360 had a much brighter charging watch face. That much brighter charging screen was actually causing burn-in on your OLED.
You can see if yours is affected by opening the Settings app. If you can see a ring of the charging halo in the background, your phone was damaged by this.
Fortunately, Motorola is honoring this as a warranty issue - you just have to claim it before your one year warranty is up. I now have a brand new first-gen Moto 360 - with an improved watch band clasp too.
Hi, where did you submit request for service?
I got mine warranty replaced (for this issue) by calling Motorola technical support. Despite being clearly outsourced, they seemed to be well aware of this issue - and processed it without too much futile troubleshooting.
moto 360 has an LCD Display , not an OLED!
I have burn-in too. It's most noticeable on white backgrounds as a yellowish ring. I only noticed it recently but I think my warranty might be up. Didn't think an LCD could have burn in, but there it is...
Could someone post a picture of the burn-in? I want to see how bad it actually is.
I took these with my watch at max brightness. Normally, it's more subtle. It's a yellow ring that's strongest at the 3 o'clock position, and decreases clockwise -- exactly where the charging ring would start.

In person, the white backgrounds actually look the worst. I have a nice white watch face that I simply won't use because of this.
I mostly use dark watch faces though so I don't notice it. It's invisible on black and most of the Moto stock faces (e.g. Dials).

how can LCD get burn-in? that's so weird
Anyone else experiencing this red after image thingy on the sides of the screen? It is most noticable when looking at a dark image or completely black. See image below and notice the sides.

I mentioned after images because the icons on the status bar sometimes shows an "after image" when for example I toggle the wifi off thereby the wifi icon disappearing, an after image is left behind but not that noticeable.
Any thoughts as to what it is and possible remedy?
I've noticed this also on mine. If I'm right , I get this red tint on the right side of my screen, after I play that football game on Messenger. It seems to go away after a while. It's noticeable on grey colours.
thats called burn in and thats a hardware issue.
That's a screen burn if I'm not wrong. Even I had experienced the same and the device was under warranty so got the screen changed and it was all fine until now, 10 months after the change, that it's back again. I'm thinking of switching to Nexus 6P now.

I was thinking of having it replaced since it is still under warranty but after reading your post, should I still go for it?

Here what happens with my device : When I shoot up the brightness to the fullest, those "red after images" kind of dissappear. But then again when the auto brightness is switched on it returns back (pssst... LG G4's are haunted! ?). I don't know what exactly the problem is, whether with the digitizer or screen. I would still suggest to get the screen changed as it's still in the warranty or if you don't want to take the pain switch to some better phone.

Like this one a lot. A lot of odd colors in the image and it balanced it well (the green and magenta in the backdrop).
I'm quite impressed by a quickly taken nightshot (on a fast moving train, approx 80km/h). OxygenOS 11.2.2.2.
Ultra wide
I just got my phone yesterday and i'm now testing how well it performs. First impressions is that yes it can perform very well even in dim lit situations. As i always shoot RAW this one is shot as such using the Pro mode and then processed in Capture One Pro.
Pics are really looking great! Can't wait to get the device...
One more shot, this one from inside a local church. Shot in RAW and edited with Capture One Pro. There were so little noise i didn't even bother to remove it, just a bit of sharpening and keystoning to straighten the lines and then the usual adjustments with exposure, curves and shadows & highlights adjustments.

Would like to see some pictures of faces (with stock camera app). With my op7t, I was VERY disappointed with the pictures of my kids (with the OOS camera), very blurry and smudgy. Switched to GCAM and totally fine.

What setting you used? The hand artifact looks weird. I understand it is because of the movement (or a hand of a ghost of dead movie producer?), but how the hell it created this weird edge/highlight is beyond me.
