I have the dark camera problem too. Any ideas?

weird. maybe you guys are using something thats the same, causing this?

Hmmm... I wonder if it's because I'm not on stock rom?

Had this problem too on stock 4.4.2 and honestly I still have it. I have camera tweaks active tho in build.prop.

I think it's because the camcorder doesn't change the exposure so dark scenes are terrible but those in the light are actually the same as the camera. Go take your phone somewhere that is pretty bright and compare, they will be the same. Then somewhere dark, the camcorder will be terrible.
It's probably not because of a custom ROM.

Does not happen to me, on Carbon 4.4.2. I flashed the 4.4.3 factory image to test it too, and it didn't happen in low light nor bright conditions.

I got the same issue but I'm on slimkat 4.2.2

Problem that I have is that with the change of versions, I no longer have movies and books
If I replaced the stock play store ...how I can bring it back
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Why would you want to bring it back? You'll get it sooner or later.
I encountered a bug in UK though, main screen is empty, I am not sure if this is a screen resolution issue or country based issue but it's surely a bug.
This is not my screen, but this is exactly how I see it.

Yes exactly like that! I think I have to return my phone, but I don't want. I don't know how match is the battery drain because of that led.

I'm still waiting for my phone but are you sure thats not the default way it should be?
My girlfriend has the same phone but the white version. And here led on the phone isn't giving any light! So I think it isn't the default state of the phone!

Tbh, I really don't think it's affecting battery life much, if any. I'm reconsidering getting a replacement after using it for a while and seeing what the battery life is like, but that may change.

Agreed.
Someone have any solution ?
Call Google and get an RMA started.
Yep, there is no other way than replacing it.

Cut a small piece of used screen protector and get a hole puncher.

This puts just a bit of space between cameras to keep it from getting scratched.

Just a warning, I did this mod and it really reduced low light performance of the camera.

FYI. Tried this methid on my screen and dramatically reduced screen brightness.
Psh, why bother when you can just..
Simply use a case with a rim around the camera and be done with it. I use the original Samsung case and didn't look back. In the picture the protective stuff is still on, removed it shortly afterwards.

I never got that to work, only double tapping to turn on, it must be sensitive. Also that's why I'm not a huge fan of the camera :/
I upgraded from the DNA as well,and so far I don't have any complaints. The camera isn't the best but I knew that going in.

You can improve the camera a lot by the custom settings.
.
^this was a bit over saturated
The cameras not really bad. It's a 4 'ultra pixel' but it's good in low light and all the effects I.E 3D makes up for the la lacking pixels. I love the phone coming from a note 3. The build quality,display,size,speakers,and speed is what I favor most.
I'm not a real fan of sense but I took care of that with nova launcher and the viper1 Rom? I recommend that Rom if you're thinking about rooting ?
HTC ONE M8?
After a little over a week of use my experiences with this phone has been nothing but positive... Of course the camera leaves a lot to be desired but other than that, smooth sailing.. After a day of use on a full charge I still have 50% + left. It almost lasted 2 days that's a lot more improvement over the droid DNA.. I haven't rooted yet, I'm actually kind of scared and hesitant to. On another note I feel like I made the right decision over and S5..

Yeah it stinks.. hopefully it's no t hardware
I also have that ....
Heard from others that it's a hardware problem and the only fix is exchange. Other carriers seem to send a new device. How is the verizon?
It seems that we are getting refurbished one after 14days of purchase according to
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/device-replacement-program/#defect
Anyone tried to talk or chat with Verizon Customer service?
