Hello All,
I've searched the forums and found other instances of people reporting this, but no clear solution.
Pictures taken in 'normal' lighting seem to come out fine, however pictures taken with the camera's flash, tend to come out with a blue tint to them. See attached sample.
Tweaking the settings doesn't seem to resolve it, and others tend to think its hardware related (and to replace the phone).
Does anybody here have first hand experience with this? Is this a common problem with the skyrocket and similar model phones, or do I possibly have an issue with the phone itself?
Thanks in advance for any information and/or suggestions anybody can provide.
Best Regards,
G

I have never noticed a problem with any pink spot on my camera (recording or pictures) and I have owned the phone for about 6 months. Yesterday and today I noticed a clearly visible pink spot in the center of the phone. I was filming at the beach and I could clearly see it. It was very bright out but I know ive been in similar conditions and never had a problem or at least it was not as visible.
Not sure what to make of this issue. I did update to the latest update that T-Mobile has pulled for now but I never noticed it after the update but now I can really notice it. I love this camera and I use it regularly for my Youtube channel.
I would appreciate any information or feedback. If you would like to see an example of what I am talking about it is located on this video ( bright lighting conditons) :

Also the one from the day before located here ( dimmer lighting conditions) :

Are there any suggestions?
Anyone else notice this problem?
what are you talking about? i don't see anything wrong in the videos
If you look close you can see it..... Its there.... First link look 0:40 to 0:45 also other places...
Second video link look 0:30 to 0:35
Its clearly there
...it doesn't look that noticable to me...but if it really bothers you take it to a tmobile store and get a $20 warranty exchange
I live in Ireland and I purchased the phone new from Ebay.
There is obviously a problem with the camera as you can notice. I did the editing on these videos to try and cut out the spot as much as possible but there is clearly a problem.
Has anyone else had an issue?
If you google pink spot camera problem you will notice it is an ongoing issue with many phones but I was unaware of this problem affecting MT4GS.....

Avoid lacking the light, and never use auto white balance mode when capturing image. Hope can fix your problem
Hello. I am new to the forum and a bit of a shutterbug. I have been having trouble discerning between variations in colors on some of my outdoor shoots. My friend gave me a few websites where you can take color tests. He gave me this one in particular eyesocialeyes.com/color-quiz-plus/ and I seem to be deficient in the color vision department. Has anyone ever had this problem and do you have any tests to try or tips to help? Thanks
I suggest you go to see an eye doctor. They can give you a proper diagnosis and go from there. Since this thread has nothing to do with mobile device development, I will now close it.
Hello XDA,
Tryin to keep it short & sweet, bare with me please. I’m having this weird contrast dissimilarity across the display of my Galaxy S7. Some regions of the display are having dark contrast level and some being relatively high (making it bit white-ish), especially noticeable in dark colors or any grey shades.
Of course I did research around a bit before posting this and found lot of people having the exact issue and I don’t mean to create a duplicate thread.
Just want a little help from you guys, fellow Galaxy S7 users. I’ve linked to some images below which can easily show this issue if you have. This was used by someone else and was able to easily spot it without displaying a plain mono color image. So those who are even confident about not having this issue at all also can go ahead download & display the images on your display.
Please post the results here preferably pictures. Because I really doubt whether this issue is normal with AMOLED considering this is already my 3rd replacement but it disturbs me a lot seeing this with a 700$ phone.
**I have also linked my condition with an illustration since it’s hard to capture mine in camera.
Thanks a lot <3

Here in China, was about to buy the phone.
I have seen several reviews mentioned the lense flare issue.
wondering whether this is a software problem or a hardware issue. Will it be fixed sooner or later?
Appreciate your comments.
Seems likely to be hardware related. I have only seen it once or twice and it has to be in the perfect lighting arrangement to really see it. I think it is being blown way out of proportion, it isn't anywhere near as bad as the internet would have you believe.

I've never seen it happen on my pixel and I take a lot of photos. Any camera will show flare if you're shooting towards the light... even my $4k DSLR..

I've seen it often but it doesn't look too bad. I'll attach a picture where it's caused by the backlight of my computer screen
I can reproduce it in certain conditions. For example, I can reproduce the halo on my phone when the light source is facing the opposite direction of the camera and I angle the camera precisely the right away. Aside from that, I've never had it affect any photos unless I'm intentionally trying to get it do so to see what's causing it. I've never had it show up in any of my outdoor photos yet.
It is definitely blown way out of proportion by people on the internet, IMO. It doesn't really happen to me unless I'm shooting right at the sun or a bright light source (which is kind of a bad way to take photographs in general anyway).
I have received my blue Pixel yesterday and thought that Google possibly did something to fix it and didn't expect my unit to have this. An hour ago, I was trying the camera out and was in the kitchen. When the light source was on left from me, then halo appeared, tilting/moving the phone closer towards the left(to the light), then halo started to diminish and after 15-20 degrees it was no longer affecting the shot. The halo thing is easy to spot and user is just able to turn a little and have a perfectly nice shot. I am personally not concerned about this unless the issues would be very severe and would appear in multiple angles. I think the back glass panel could be the issue.
Well noted, thank you guys for your response. will try to buy one from goole, ship to USA, then transfer to China.
Hi all, I've been searching around but can't find anyone else having this problem. I only got the phone a few days ago, and the first time I tried to take a photo in mixed lighting conditions I thought I was doing something wrong, as it was metering really badly and the shot just looked all hazy. Then I tried again and again and every time it would just give me a hazy image. I tried taking my case off the back, no change. I compared shots to my wife's Galaxy S4 in the same scenario and her's were miles beyond mine in terms of quality, they metered perfectly. I'm beginning to think the phone is a lemon, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas. I've tried stock software as well as a root, and both give me the same issue. As I'm a new user I can't post a link but I'll try and work out how to show you all what's happening (you could try searching photobucket for user mattrico, then it's the first image of the lot - the kitchen picture).
Anyway, this is the icing on the cake because I have already been having issues with hotspot (it's not installed on this phone) and data roaming (can't find that either), I bought the phone from the USA and I live in Australia so I've already gone through issues of getting here and the extra cost, I really don't want to send it back but I'm thinking I have no other option.
