Not sure if anyone notice but if you are taking videos in a dark room or at night there is what appears to be a dead pixel (green dot) just above the center of the phone. However this might be a software issue because I do not see this dead pixel while taking pictures in a dark room in camera mode. But in video mode especially when the settings is at full HD 1080p you can see it clearly. If you set video settings to 960 by 540 then it is less noticeable but still there. Since it doesn't show up on camera mode I believe it could be a software issue. Could someone else try testing to see if they are having this problem also or is it just me. Just go into a dark room or place your hands over the lens and switch to video mode and set it to full 1080p. When you record in the dark you should see the dead pixel during playback. If I'm the only one then I probably need to get a new phone.
It would be incredibly helpful if you could post one more thread in relation to this matter.
Thanks,

Hi,
My camera is very very slow. The quality seems good but when filming and moving the phone everything is very blurry. Is this normal / common issue?
If I take a picture of something it has to be absolutely still otherwise the picture is blurred.
When I direct it to a wall which is 1 color the camera if very fast, but when I move it to a colored area with lights etc, it flickers 1 time and then it goes very slow, as if some filter is applied in areas which are lighter.
I get this also and upgrading the radio has not solved the problem.
I've noticed that it seems to be fast in daylight?
Theres a camera trick in the forums - kaiser I think about switching off the phone (sleep mode by pressing the power button) whilst the camera is on and switching it back on again improving the speed but I have not been able to make it work.
The Polaris camera is very good in daylight conditions! If you try to take pictures in low light conditions the fps will drop so that it seems like it is very slow.
Try this little trick for videos or pictures in low light conditions with max fps:
1. Activate camera with camera button
2. Put your finger on the camera lens and hold it there
3. Turn of Screen / Put Polaris into sleep mode and wait 5 - 8 seconds
4. Activate Polaris screen again with power button
5. Now you can take pictures / videos with max fps!
But be aware of the fact, that with this little trick the iso lightening won't work anymore and the pictures will be darker and have lower quality!
After using the camera in better light conditions, everything will be as before the trick!
WOW! and that actually DID work
thanks for tip friend, I can live with the lower quality if I can get a decent video recording... The ones I've done before were rubbish. I would have been embarassed to show them to anyone... except maybe at a 60's convention..the blurryness was a little psychadelic!
The trick seems to work! Isn't there a way to modify the rom to always disable the light filter?
The other front camera is always working very fast, it's just the one on the back.
Thanks!
Maybe UDK might build it into his v9 release? (hint, hint!)
As far as i know there is no chance to tweak some software or a rom so that the problom won't occur again. When starting the camera it's hardware will always activate the iso lightning and therefore there will be those fps drops in low light conditions.
It has something to do with the lack of hardware drivers which could keep high fps rates also in low light conditions..... BUT i'm not sure because of the diamond!
If you compare it with the diamond, there ARE some video drivers but the performance of the camera is nearly the SAME as on Polaris.... in some situations even worse and less fps rates!

It has absolutely nothing to do with drivers. The phone's night mode isn't simply adjusting the ISO. The phone is allowing more light into the sensor, thus keeping the shutter open longer. Doing so blurs the picture if you move around. Any phone with a night mode does the same thing. In fact any digitial camera with a nightmode will also do this.

OMG, it works! thx a lot!
Can I ask how to modify this trick via a .reg file?
As said above, this cannot be done. You'll have to do it manually each time.

Ok, but how about setting a value for nightmode, so it wont be used in mediocre lit areas thus increasing performance?(maybe to finally allow to make some nice, steady pictures) I think HTC overdid it a little.
And how can you explain this trick, fooling phone that it's complete darkness, so it decides to turn nightmode off? Kinda weird.
Also what LightSensorHz(50) registry value does?

Well as you may know the automatic brightness does not work properly under bright sunlight.
And the 3D camera does not take the pictures in the resolution set (check file size) if you access to the camera by the 3D application icon. (If you change from 2D to 3D it does work correctly.)
So I am open this thread to let you know about this, hopefully some developer give us any solution.

same thing happen to me.. my auto brightness censor is not working. Also my 3d cam have problem. But i can still take shots in 3d.

For the brightness, I had the problem for a long time because I was dimming the screen to the minimal possible: but when i once held the brightness button I found out automatic brightness was on at the same time!
So automatic brightness on and yourself dimming the screen at the same time must go wrong.
Have you checked that already?
guys may i ask this question here..images after ics always seem out of focus,or at least 90% of the time (digged through settings,tried different camera apps,still nothing)
and some says the 3D pictures not at the same altitude in ics, making the user dizzy , but it was fine in GB, so they have to stuffed two systems both GB and ICS in it.
luckily my P920 works fine in 3D picture shooting.
I have taken 20 pictures in 3D over a period of a month since upgrading to ICS They all display OK but the resolution is 320 x 240. The phone has been re-booted several times, the battery changed in this period so it is not a settings malfunction. This is not a size listed in the settings menu and is really useless except for viewing on the phone screen. I don't know how this setting happened but just tried taking a 3D photo by using the 3D camera app icon as I had before and it took a full size picture 2048 x 1536 as set in the menu [default]. I seem to remember that a camera bug affects the camera when the battery is low, but my battery was at a good level for all the pictures taken and 3D and 2D videos worked fine. From now on I will check the file size after every photo taken to make sure no more are useless.
I just noticed this myself.
The Thrill 4G forum noticed it, too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50990556
I'm trying to reproduce it manually, but not getting much luck.
Stock AT&T ICS Rooted and a ton of stuff deleted. I've completely wiped and reformatted different ROMs since then, though.
I think, somehow, that Dropbox is the culprit. I want to blame that, or some kind of auto-sync...

I think I'm right. I've seen other reports of this.
Hi.
Since the first time I tried to make a slow-motion video, I notice that the camera can't capture enought light, like it's always in the dark, but the regular photo/video works great.
The next day instead, one time when I open the camera app a toast appeared: "unknown error" and the camera wasn't open; in the second attempt instead it worked normally, even the slow motion video.
But sometimes, the 480fps video are "laggy", and sometimes not.
I'm pretty sure, at this point, that is a software problem. I already tried to delete the app's data, but nothing changed. Anyone have this problem too?
All high speed cameras ever made, especially stupid high framerate ones like 1000FPS+ (just gets worse the faster they get) needs bright light. You're not going to be shooting high framerate video on any device in dim lighting situations any time soon unfortunately.
Maybe turn on the improvement program data sharing if you want help with the errors, that would most likely be something the phone sends info to Oneplus about.
Already enabled. The bright problem in the slow-motion wasn't the low light itself, because I tried outdoor in the day, full of light. This disappeared after a while, but I can't replicate anymore. Have no idea.
Hi guys,
Can you do a quick test on your Pixel 3a for me please?
Everytime I try to record a video with light on, the device cut off the light very quickly. It's impossible for my Pixel 3a to record a video with light more than 2-10 minutes.
I thought it was normal, but.. I am worried because I try to do that just in standard video mode at 1080p/30fps (not even 60fps or 4K), and I tested on another device (Nokia 6.1 Android One) and it can record a 1080p video with flashlight with no limit, like forever...
So, can someone just test that for me please? Like just put the light on in camera, record a video and put the device on your desk face down and wait if the flashlight turn off? It's not a long test, it should turn off very quickly (if my device doesn't have a hardware issue...)
Thanks again guys! :good:
In my 3a XL in 4k 30fps after 2 min led turn off and message "warning device is to hot" or somehthing like that
Same result as bioly87 with me Pixel 3a shooting at 1080P. It'll shut the LED flash off with a heat warning.
So, good news for me. Not only my device.
But bad news for us... Why Google allows us to use the light if it turn off just after. When other phones can do it with no limit... It's weird.
Anyways thank you guys for doing the test.
Hello to everyone, new user of the Xperia 5ii and I have two problems
1)Has anyone observed a slightly change in the colour of the screen between 60 and 120hz? It's very obvious if you have dark mode and sit in a dark room. When you toggle the selection on and off, you can easily see it
2)I was trying to upload an Instagram story and the quality drops significantly. You literally can distinguish pixels. It's only on Instagram, on Facebook there was no problem. Also I tried to upload the photos from another device, and the same problem exists.
Any help is most welcome

This is true and if being honest, quite expected. It most noticable when the screen brightness is somewhere 5-20%. You can clearly see it when toggling the 60 or 120hz. The panel itself is great, many oled defects are gone or very minimal. This green tint issue is quite common on other 120hz panels too (mostly Samsung made). That might also be one reason why the new Iphone 12 phones don't have 120hz, too much quality problems.
So yes, there is a green tint. But luckily it is very minor and only on certain screen brightness. Haven't noticed it when actually using the phone.
Not sure if this count as a defect to get a replacement (the replacement would probably have the same issue).
Attached few photos I took.
I have the same issue in low-brightness and 120Hz activated
