I've noticed that when using my Skyrocket camera indoors, especially during the day, that there seems to be a slightly reddish hue around the center of the photo. This is noticeable in the display while I'm viewing the scene, and in the final photo. I am using auto white balance. I also notice that when I view a scene under incandescent lights using auto or incandescent w/b, the center has a greenish tint while the surrounding area is slightly reddish.
The following photo of the off white wall was taken in the early afternoon with ambient daylight. I was wondering if others with a Skyrocket have noticed the same thing. I just want to try to figure out if this is a normal condition with this phone before I go back to the AT&T store to demand an exchange. Thanks.

That wasn't Kool-Aid, that was wine. Lol.
After doing some experimentation, I have discovered that the light pollution from my LCD TV and my PC monitor in a room with ambient daylight seems to be the culprit here. I am somewhat of a photography buff and understand the effect of different types of light on digital photography, so I tried turning my monitor and TV off, and the reddish tint disappeared. My real cameras don't have this problem, but I guess the camera on this phone isn't quite up to the task of properly adjusting to different light sources at the same time. Anyway, I'll just have to be aware of this whenever I take photos indoors.
I'm still interested in hearing about your results, though. Thanks.
Oops, spoke too soon. I tried it again this morning and got the same red splotch. Maybe the lighting was different earlier. Anyway, I did some more searching leaving "Skyrocket" out and came up with several threads about this in the Galaxy S2, and other forums. Seems to be a common problem with the white balance in a lot of phone cameras, so I guess I'll just live with it.
reddish hue in middle of scene in camera
Sorry to bring up an old post, but I recently purchsed this S2 Skyrocket and have seen the same issues. I was about to call AT&T for an exchange, but could I be safe to say, i just need to adjust white balance?
There has been no other replies so either you and I are the only ones and need an exchange or others are just not replying.
Hope others can chime in.
Thanks!

Hello all, i have myself an 02 XDA Exec, but during the light of a soft reset
the screen is now working with fault
it looks like there is some sort of high contrast or the in could be bleading on the inside, but the touch feature works, will display pictures
Notice how the screen has different shades, but also patches in the corners of the screen, as ive mentioned the touch sensetivity works fine but the screen looks to be a bit pixelated and and in a different sort of contrast (i am currently reading up on the dis-assembly of it so if its something internal please say something about it)
and no i havnt banged it, smashed it, tried beating it up etc, i honestly dont know whats happened to it.

this is my today screen after a hard reset, basic windows mobile default, look at the different tones of colouring, the sort of slashes across the screen and the shades in the corner of the screen, and im not sure why, although i dont think it really can be ink bleading as when the phone is turned off the screen is as it should be, just off.
Now i will try out the camera on both sides, from the phone and from my camera
Camera's Side
Notice how the screen is in a sort of negative/contrasted style, not one im enjoying thats for sure, but coming from the phone the results are different
Exec Camera
notice how the camera still processes the image properly
which leads me to believe something is wrong with the screen
maybe some part of the frame is being pressed against it or something like that
i will be monitoring this thread closely and please help
With Many Thanks

Does it have this pink tint in reality too? (not only on the shots?)
If it does (and a hard reset doesn't help), then, one of the color transfer wires may be dead or have "only" developed a contact error (or, plainly, they have just been removed from their socket. This happened a lot with other models.)
That is, I'm pretty much sure it's a cheaply fixable problem. Try disassembling your casing and try to rearrange the wires.
pink/purple tint, but the screen apears in perfect shape
any guides on getting into the screen,
thanks very much.

there are several; see the "smashed my Universal screen" threads; some of them link in the official HTC disassembling guides
I have read in a few place that the Sprint cam is better because ATT added some kinda film over the lense to protect it and its yellows our pics.
Here is a picture with stock settings from the Fuze.

Now if you go to the setting menu, chage the White Balance of of Auto and put it to the light bulb. Now you get a picture that looks like this.
I thought it would be cool to add some pictures from other sources I think the Cam on the Touch Pro (Fuze) is amazing.
Here is an 8.1 Megapixel Digital Cam.
Here is a pic from my Cingular 2125 (Tornado maybe?)
Here is a picture from my ATT 8525 (Hermes) 2.0MP.
I just figured this out as well. I know on my Tilt and my Vogue (with Sprint), I had to put it on the moon to get rid of that yellow tint.
I went through and tried all the settings and I think the light bulb one is the best.
EDIT: I think someone should add this to the WIKI.
Agree that the camera on the fuze is really good. I took my Kaiser to SEMA a few weeks ago and that did pretty well, but the fuze camera seems far superior.
I usually just run everything through photoshop, but I've been using photoshop for almost 10 years. I did notice the response of the Fuze camera is MUCH improved over the Tilt camera.
Yeah I got mine also on light bulb. I remember the Tilt had the same problem too.
As always, these HTC cams are not "one setting > all". The reason there are different options is because some are better for different lighting.
Auto stinks, I'll agree with you on that. For standard incandescent lighted indoor subjects, the light bulb would be the correct option (as you have stated noticed here). However, in other indoor-situations as well as larger lit areas the fluorescent (looks like a rectangle with light beams) is a better choice. I found that outdoors, the light bulb option is worse than any of the others.
In fact, my personal experience (at least with my current phone, HTC Titan 2mpix) is best results are acheived with the flourescent setting, but first aim the camera at a bright light source (sun, light bulb, etc) so it automatically lowers the auto image gain and give you more realistic color.
Here's a pic I took near Boston using this method:
Now, I know the image isn't the sharpest, but that's a function of the titan camera quality. I'm talking about the color balance. Its damned near perfect. You can probably get the same results with the fuze.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm having an issue where even the slightest movement creates a blurry picture like the camera is on nightshot (shutter open longer). Is there a way to fix that?
Phone cameras are usually horrible i never bothered with them. But my digi cam just died and i was looking for another when i decided to try the fuze cam. WOW, it is not bad at all, so much so i am deciding if i even really need to buy another digi cam.
Of course a 10mp sounds great, but without spending a dime i can have near perfect 3mp photos
I just got my Nexus 5 in the mail and have some questions about its screen
First, what's the material used for the screen?
Second, is anyone having some serious yeloow hue going on with their screens????
I own both the Z1 and the N5 now and will decide to sell one off in the near future. The Z1 was notorious for their yellow hue screen and comparing the N5 side to side with the Z1 the N5 is even worse when it comes to the yellow hue. Can anyone else confirm?
Want to post a side by side comparison pic but the only cameras I own are on the phones haha

Do a search on the forum, there are a number of threads about the yellow tint. Some N5s have it, some don't.

Finally got around to taking a photo with my friend's 5S
On the left is the N5 and Z1 on the right.
The yellow hue is definately more noticable when viewing screens with slight hints of blue
The comparison of both white screens came out decent in the photo with slight yellow on the N5 but in person it's much worse. (keep in mind my Z1 already has a yellow hue problem)
Definately feel like my N5 has serious screen issues I will contact Google and see what they have to say

Yes, it's very difficult to photograph the issue because the device used to make the photos has its own impact. I've found that you can take whatever the photo shows and multiply it by a few times to get a real indication of the difference.

Hey guys, I got Galaxy S7 few days ago and I noticed somewhat strange white shadow/outline under black (most prominent with bold) text on white or gray background (can be easily seen in Messenger).
I wasn't able to Google anything similar so I'm wondering if it's just me or what.
Here are two examples:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and
It's more noticeable when normally looking at screen, but I wasn't able to capture it with my S3 Neo, so I had to zoom.
Sorry for posting images like that but I can't use links yet.
Hi,
as I mentioned in PM, I have the same problem. It is visible bellow dark/white edges. Partial circumvention is to lower the resolution, which unsharpens these edges. Simple way to replicate this with the attached image. Are we really the only two with this problems or the other S7 owners didn`t notice/don`t mind this? I`ve seen another S7 in a shop which has the same problem. All in the Czech Republic (if I guess correctly based on the images above).
Thanks for any information.
pAn
One more info on what is going on - a detailed photo. For some reason are red and blue pixels on the edge more bright than they should be.
I don`t know if anyone is reading this, but I start thinking that I have some super sensitive eyes. I saw four S7s and three definitely had this problem. I am not sure about the last one since I didn`t have enough time to test it.. I also found this article http://phandroid.com/2017/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s8-tips-tricks/ with photos of S8 and this (d)effect is visible also there. I took a look on my wifes S3 and it is OK. The display simple looks better - well the resolution is lower, but no weird effects and the colors are not shifted to red like on my S7 (I haven`t noticed before, every display has little bit different colors). On the other hand this thread is the only one notice I was able to find about it. I don`t know how differently ask google, so native speakers - how would you call this (d)effect? I cannot believe that there are only two people dealing with this.
I`ll see what Samsung service says to this.
Btw - I remember something similar on really old (like previous century) LCDs but the other way round - the light leaked from bright pixels to dark ones, if they ware next to each other.
I`ll be happy for any related information.
Thank you.

Good day Sirs
I would just like to ask if there are any of you guys that has encountered this issue/bug on s8+'s back camera using Pro mode and high shutter speed settings (as you move the shutter speed to high)
the issue usually presents itself when I go to Pro mode and use high shutter speed settings which is 1/500 and up and usually indoors
got to test this on two demo units and only 1 also has this
could you any of you guys post your images with the said settings or if you guys had it replicated...
the issue/bug is already right there at the preview screen
so what you see on my images is also what i see on my screen... the only difference is the dark lines are moving sideways on the preview screen
please help me on this Sirs
will bring my unit at the service center this weekend
btw, I have the S8+ exynos version
here are the shots

I just visited Samsung Service Center this weekend and they have replicated the issue on one of their demo units and told me that they will forward myconcern in their main office...
And hopefully could hear from them ASAP...
Any of you guys has replicated this bug/issue?
I think its a normal limitation isn't it? Light level is probably too low which is why its more prevelant indoors as well. I'd venture to say all of the s8's do this (including mine). Don't panic mate. Just enjoy the phone.

been doing that since day 1... hehehe! thanks! all i'm thinking right now is that I'm not gonna use that setting indoors or in low-light anyways
Looks like a pattern very typical of fluorescent lighting + fast shutter speed - I think it's called "banding". Pretty sure I can see flouro lights in a reflection in a couple of photos. Find a constant/non-flickering light source like an incandescent bulb and try it. Notice how it isn't doing it on your laptop display?
Your camera is not faulty and it is not a bug.
50/60 Hz flickering?
My bad, the last two posters are correct. I think that's exactly what the problem is. The banding is caused by the frequency of the lights.
Yup, I but these pics are all being taken under fluorescent lighting.
