Anyone find the camera lacking sharpness compared to the s4 in low light or with flas - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I love my s4 camera and thought moving to note 3 would give me the same experience but it's not. It seems in low light or at night when I use flash the pictures are not as sharp. On my s4 I can see good details when I zoom in like being able to read small texts or pattern on a fabric.

I dont have an s4 to compare to but I agree that the photos are not coming in that sharp... I wonder if we have defective devices? my note 2 takes better shots.

It's been noted in reviews.

Just noticed it mentioned on some reviews. I think the problem is so minor to samsung that they won't bother doing anything about it.

It seems that most models are missing a night mode. I can't find it anywhere on the T-Mobile one, so I assume that it's missing on here too. That would likely help quite a bit.

Samsung removed the separate toggle for it on the note 3 and implemented it into the "auto stabilization". But that doesn't help my issue unfortunately.

Here's a sample. You can see that on the note 3 it can't pick up the surface details on the plastic bezel compared to the s4. This is a zoomed in portion of the actual image.

Can you attach the image? Does it look too yellow on the phone's screen or on a computer screen, or both?
mmm i see let chek
Looks normal to me on a calibrated monitor. Whites are white in the second image; in the first image, the White Balance just might be off a little. And it's out of focus.
to yellow the pics or not ?
i think my camera it's bad

Youre not alone. I have the same yellowish tint on mine. Happens in low light/ indoors only

Yeah the zero shutter lag is pretty useless as it misses focus most of the time.

Sure its not the flash causing it? Most of my pictures look fine and I have beige carpet.

does the GN have white balance categories like cm7?
like auto, incandescent, daylight etc?
I agree with the person who posted earlier - is does seem to be something that only affects it indoors. It does come with different "scenes," but I haven't experimented with that yet.

lmao. dude. there seems to be a bit of yellow in your house. it called ambient light or reflections. everything seems to be normal. should definitely check the pictures on a better screen and not on the nexus to verify. people with blue ceilings, wal: and carpets can get a bluish effect or whatever is your situation.
Yeah, it's just an incorrect Auto White Balance. Just change the White Balance in settings. There's nothing faulty here.
User error.
Discuss.
I don't think its user error. My sgs2 doesnt have this yellow effect when set on auto.

Question about notification light area

The google play store sent me another galaxy nexus. I have seen the phone in person at two verizon stores and i have seen the original nexus the google play store sent me. With this new one i have you can see where the notification light bulb is, the circle and bulb while it's turned off and not in use. All the other ones i have seen it is invisible and you can't see it at all. has anyone else seen a phone like this?
this is what the new one looks like

Ditto on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I can't even see it looking for it.
I have to look really close with a flashlight to see mine. But it's very hard to see even with the flashlight.
another defect i suppose
I can see it on my Galaxy nexus but is slightly bur I can't capture with my 4S camera it looks like yours could be defected or something. Does it work tho? I and if does does it bother you?

I guess what is odd that its different in the first place, if you have a 100 of something and there all the same and that 101 is off it sorta makes you think why?
My first device has banding issues that aren't great at all, but i'm keeping it. I have seen worse in other threads. I have sent pics of all the problems i have had to google, this way maybe they can check out whats going on with qc over at sammy. I think the problem may be these devices are made in china and the international devices i think are made in Korea. but then again alot of people are having problems no matter which they have!
One thing i will say is googles cs has been great they are very nice and seem willing to help! i don't blame google i blame sammy! sigh but life goes on, there bigger things in life its just a cellphone!!
BTW, thanks everybody for the replies!!

[Q] Color Control for Note 2?

Hi,
I would like to know if it will be possible to implement Color Control (as used in many Galaxy Nexus custom kernels) in custom kernel for Galaxy Note 2?
Here's a link (it worked wonders on my old Galaxy Nexus!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521195
My Note 2 has a heavy green/yellowish tinted screen. The problem is much more pronounced than on my old Galaxy S3, which actually was quite bad, too...
Otherwise I have to return my Galaxy Note 2
This is a comparison between my calibrated LCD and my Note 2:

I got my replacement today. Still the same problem (at leaster better build quality). I've compared mine to other Galaxy Note 2, every single device I have seen had the same issue. So I guess there are many GN2 with that issue out there.
This is a screen shot from my note 2. Is there something I'm not seeing? What's the problem?

Mine doesn't actually appear to have any tint to it, but one of my hobbies if photography so I'm picky about colours

Do you have power saving mode on? There is a screen setting in the power save menu that tints the browser. Also try to use the "dynamic" screen setting instead of natural or the others. That fixed my tint.

One thing you are not seeing is that a screenshot can never represent a displays color reproduction. As you are eliminating the actual display and only looking at the image as it was rendered in the software. All screenshots from all devices will appear the same, however photos of the actual rendered image on screen will show variations. Using a calibrated display as a reference is the only way to have a solid comparison, just like the OP did. If you want to contribute, do the same.

Anyone else potentially a bad screen? - Note7 just got it

I just got it yesterday and I noticed on a lot of screens it looks like bad rendering follows it around. The most noticeable is under display settings, mid to low brightness. When you change the screen mode it shows it in some modes very clearly. Does anyone else see this? I will try to upload a picture.
I uploaded a video to youtube, you can clearly see the issue on the left side of the screen:

My phone does not look like this at all. Your screen may be defective, i'd suggest an RMA.

Cool, Thanks Let me contact Tmobile and see about the RMA
Both the violet streak and the lines that come up when you change the brightness points to a faulty display the exact same issue with the S7 and S7E
Can you guys check your tapatalk app in night mode. Mine looks washed out in the left bottom corner. Is that normal on yours too? My note 4 does not look like this.

It wasnt that, it was messed up colors showing up on the screen based on constrasting areas of the screen. THeres a video in the first post and another here where you can see the issue. This doesn't show up in screenshots I send to the computer so I know its a display problem.

My Note 7 had similar purple / pink hue on all around the edges. It's not so pronounced and I had to argue with the service adviser before the accept for warranty claim. Went in for RMA today.
International version. Sorry, didn't capture any video or images of the defect.
Thisis what i see a greenish wahsed out screen with dark gray.

Got Pictures?

Have been taking night time pics of the same objects, this one was taken using Note 10+ and the same pics by OP6 and S10e are left far in the dust behind. The steeple here is being illuminated, the bottom part only catches some light from the street but the monument in front is totally shaded by a large tree.
Huge improvement but it takes a long time for the camera to process. It won't be easy getting night time pictures of moving objects like friends at the club or on the street.
The picture looks amazing

It's nothing major, I was just messing with the camera. Tinkering around. But I liked it for some odd reason.

it's really something to have a phone camera capable of doing all this stuff and still, the race for the best camera/phone continues, who knows what they gonna come up with next and then after that etc...etc
Some "live focus" studies, these pics are heavily downsized here - the originals are about 18MB each. I should use the last pic with some superimposed text as my personal greetings card for the holidays:
