[Q] Blue haze on camera, is this normal? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This happens on either roms, stock or cm7. So with the camera on and covered to show a black screen, I get this blue haze on the corners of my screen. The haze isn't present on the photo but I was wondering if anyone else is getting this haze. Is this normal?
Check out the attached photo and let me know your thoughts on this:

I can replicate this on mine running cm7. Iv noticed it before but never really thought it could be a bug or anything.

Yeah it doesn't bother me, but I wondered if there were others that had the same issue.

I noticed it on my camera the other day. It is definitely a bug.

Mine doesn't do this.

Hmm then maybe its just a cm7 bug. Muffin what are you running?

Any other cm7 users wanna chime in?

I'm getting it too. CM7 Build 26, running on Netarchy 1.3 @1ghz. It was hard to notice, but I think it might just be the camera itself. I'm thinking that anyone who says they're not getting it simply don't have their screens bright enough to notice it, or aren't covering the camera up enough. I've had digicams that do the same.

Happens on mine too. Stock 2.3.3 rooted. Screen brightness on 0%, 50%, and 100%.
It could be a bug, but I think it's just the low-light detection. So, that means it's software, not necessarily a bug, but just something that they overlooked.

I definitely don't have it, my screen is at 100% brightness and is laying on a flat surface. Even if I cover it with my finger I don't get this blue haze.

I have this issue on cm7 build 28

Sweet, I honestly just hate the white status bar, I want gingerbread black lol

Cant wait. the white status bar is killing me too.
you guys know that when you switch to black bar the bleeding will show up more...
Not too worried about it, besides mine doesn't bleed at all, at least not that I have seen

Hopefully the mediocre battery life time is due to bloatware that we currently and will see improvement with cm7

Request for a picture from someone who does not have backlight bleed

Okay, I know we have lots of threads with people posting pictures of their bleed screen. I want to request one member atleast who does NOT have bleed to post a picture of his screen here. I personally am getting a second G2x and since this is like my first phone in over 5 years, I'd like to have a picture ready for comparison when I get my replacement.
You could use this as a test page.

Alternatively, telekNesis has made a wonderful app for this exact purpose. Use that.
http://teleknesis.net/Android/APKs/ScreenBleedTest.apk
I've attached 2 images of my screen. One from far away, and one in close up. The camera brightness gets wonky when its far away, so a closeup is most recommended, and I'd like to compare this.
I would but my phone is the only camera I have at work
can post one in a couple hours
EDIT: See new pic

I used SketchBook Pro and painted the screen black, set it as my wallpaper, used LauncherPro to hide the Navigation Bar, then took a screenshot in a dark room. As far as I can tell, I don't have any unusual backlight bleed. True, it isn't the deep black my Nexus One would have had, but considering this phone is backlit, I think I'm OK.

Mesmerize has a dull screen/whites aren't white?

Any ideas why this might be happening?
I've compared it several new smartphones and the whites are definitely way off. Blue tint kind of thing.
its the only problem to the amoled display.. try using a voodoo kernel, they seem to fix some color issues

I've compared it to a blank Web browser on an iPhone 4 and the brightness and clearness of the whites don't even come close on this Mesmerize but I know the Galaxy S's screen is just as bright as the iPhone 4 screen, so I doubt it's an AMOLED issue. I feel it's a software issue.
I've made sure the brightness is up full so I believe I'm doing all I can in that respect.

There are roughly 5 different voodoo kernels available for froyo. A good place to start would be the stickied thread about kernels in the dev forum.

Bug @ ICS LOCK SCREEN

After placing the ICS through the ROM and other nexus BEAM, I have a bug that I will not know what u do to solve-I did a re install ODIN back by sticking my phone in 2.3.3, and in this nothing happened ...
I have tried other KERNELpara alé of GLaDOS .4 and 2.5 that of the user and in the same eugene .... I think we just have not had the bug with the kernel source and gigerbread ICS officer who had ...
Does anyone know a solution?

How can i do it?
I saw another forum that I go, there are more users to the ICS officer, with the same problem ...
Here is what I noticed, It does it on my phone to. Any app that does not run in the background when I lock the screen does that same flash, including just having the homescreen open. But, if I have a app that runs in the background when off, it does not happen, like using my tracks.
My initial thought of this is apps that go dormant when locking phone cause that screen flash during that go bye bye process.
I would like to see this fixed. This is just what I noticed, I could be way off track.

Brief Flash After The Screen Locks
Hey i did see this also but only when Live Wallpaper was on, Changed to standard Wallpaper all is good
I have this issue as well, very annoying! If I set governor to performance it stops doing it, but that drains my battery fast
This and poor usb file transfer speed are keeping me on GB.

Voodoo colour does not work on the i9023 sclcd, any other option?
Bumping this, its really getting on my nerves!!! Any fix for i9023 users without voodoo colour?
Please guys, any help with this, does it not bug anyone else?
This really bothers me too. The only thing I can find that stops the bug is turning off the animation in developer settings. I tried changing voodoo color but it still happens. I tried changing my governor but it still happens. I tried widget locker and new launchers but nothing fixes it I do miss the screen off animation.

Thanks Esteway.619, flashed Eugene's and it is much better, but still happens from time to time, guessing its a kernel problem then, it even happens with the stock one!

Yeah, just set the Window Animation setting to 0x for now until Google fixes it in the next official ICS release.

All those satisfied with g2x GTFIH

Now i know LG abandoned this ship. I'm just as pissed off as the next guy about that one. I wouldn't mind an official jb or at least an ics update. But either way, I'm honestly quite satisfied with this phone and its performance. I'm running standard cm7 nightlies (latest) with Trinity t15 kernel and wolf script mod. Battery life is decent and bad when i whore wifi but that's the biggest iissue with my g2x. With all the hate threads around this forum there have to be others who have positive experiences with this device.
This phone is awesome. Since I started carrying around my portable nuclear power plant all my battery issues are gone.
Seriously though, if you use the phone the battery will drop. That is a law of physics you can't avoid. My problem with this phone was that with stock ROM the battery dropped a lot even when I did absolutely nothing. CM7 solved that, so I am happy.
I still don't get sufficient standby life so I am working on fixing an old HTC amaze (fixed bootloop, now waiting for screen to arrive). My wife's amaze can get over 4 days of standby and I just noticed that she has not rebooted it in close to 400 hours.
-- The noob says:
Believe you me... Apple suggested LG for Nexus 4
4 days of standby time? Sorry this is the g2x forum I don't know what that means.
Lol that's crazy!
I have about six months left until I'm available for an upgrade. Thinking the new s4, razor or nexus.
I agree this is still a pretty slick phone. I'm loving the dual boot setup with CM7/Trinity ELP as my runner and CM10.1 as my gaming/test platform. I'd probably be way more disappointed with the phone if I was stuck with stock software, but thanks to the awesome devs and their work I'm very happy with this phone.

I am currently running cm7 with Mazout360's kernel and wolfscript. I have themed my phone to be as similar to ICS/JB as possible, as that was the only way I could return to GB. I am very content with how it turned out.
In the end, I have accepted that I will probably never have fully functioning ICS or JB on this phone. But, I guess all that I was really looking for was that updated look and crisp feel, which I have since obtained!
Although I will move on to some sort of Nexus when I have better funding, I am satisfied with the g2x.
The only problem I seem to have with cm7 is this noticeable static flicker that appears very quickly after turning on the display. It only seems to do that with cm7 roms.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but is it possible to get the jellybean notification bar on gingerbread? Like with notifications you can swipe away and quick message replies to texts and all that. That might be the only thing keeping me on jellybean right now because I love the way it feels so intuitive and such.

I can swipe away notifications, that's something GB can do already I think. As for quick replys to messages and emails and such, I don't think so.
At least as far as I know.
I miss those features too, but I guess we can't have everything.
There are apps for pop up notifications though.
I can also swipe away notifications. Actually i found that out on mistake, had a few too many whisky cokes and tried responding to a text and swiped it away lol

Oh I went straight from Froyo on my old Optimus V to Jellybean on the G2X (I rooted and installed Paranoid Android right away) so I thought swipe notifications was a Jellybean thing. I'll install a Gingerbread ROM when I get back from work and try to make it look and feel like JB.
On topic, yes I'm very satisfied with my G2X, but that might also be because I wasnt expecting a high end phone when I bought it from eBay a few months ago. Also I have a Nexus 7 for any apps that I use that require a hardware accelerated jellybean.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
AFAIK swipe notifications is a CM7 thing in GB ROMs.

For those of you who are content with cm7, even though it is old software, I am working on my "Speedster" rom. It is still quite alpha but my goals is to optimize CM7 for our G2xs. I am also doing a bunch of software updates inside and using Mazkrnl to have speed and stability. I use the latest ADW launcher in it and JB sounds so it really gives CM7 new life and gives it a great CM10 feel. I can't do anything about play store, still limited to 2.3 aps. No google keep/now
Pie, I'm willing to flash your rom whenever its out of the alpha stage. Or let me know if you need a tester
I use this for the theme.
