Another captivate owner brought this to my attention and i wanted to see if I could replicate it. I didn't notice it on my own or with my pictures so I wouldn't say it's a big deal but wanted to see if anyone else noticed this as well.
In low light, taking pictures of a white surface shows a clear red tint/blotch in the center of the picture. Not sure why this would be, but it seems more evident in low light conditions.
Here are some samples.
Same issue here. It definitely shows up in the camera preview on the AMOLED

This is because the camera over-saturates the images. If you can find a camera app that lets you change those settings it would be fixed. The reason it shows up more on the AMOLED is because the AMOLED is already over-saturated.
I'm not sure that makes sense since the problem is visible on my computer upon export, which means that it's not just a problem while viewing on the SAMOLED screen.
Hello all,
since a couple of days i own a HTC One X and i really like it.
What i noticed when using the camera, when i am outside i always get a purple veil, when changing the AWB it gets green.

magezinepublishing.com/equipment/images/equipment/One-X-4692/large/HTC-One-X-trees-IMAG0070_1340963256.jpg
Now i want to know, has anyone else experienced this? (i have seen lots of pictures with this purple veil even from professional testers)
Is this generally on the HOX or is it a failure in a couple of models?
I read "purple vein" and had to come in here to look.
I was expecting something else...
This is what happens when bright light shines onto the camera lens.
Worsened when the camera sensor is overloaded with light.
It happens on any camera but it's pretty bad on this camera.
Try to block bright light sources with your hand, or better yet, avoid shooting into the light.

Ok so it happens on all devices of the HOX?
Hey, I have a Moto G XT1033. Running 4.4.4.
The only problem I am facing is with the front camera. In bright light the camera's quality is hood. But as soon as I am indoors/in slightly low light, the colours fade. Like, they literally fade. Its all black and white. When I move the phone around I can see some light on my face/subject as if its a bad LCD. I don't think this has got something to do with the camera itself but rather the software. Because in proper lighting, it's excellent.
So, should I use another camera application? I am currently using the Google Camera and the stock one.
Or is this a problem on everyone's phone?
Waiting for help.

Yes, they returned to some extent when my phone was on 4.4.2. On 4.4.4 it's worse.

My first question would be what kind of lighting conditions was that? Almost reminds me of what my Nexus 6P would do under certain fluorescent bulbs.....

I can't describe it so specifically. I have uploaded videos. Only saying it's not incandescent bulbs, all are LED and fluorescent.

Artificial lighting of any kind produces "light pulses", and I think fluorescent lighting is probably the worst. Under the right circumstances, it can adversely affect any video camera, with Frame Rate & Shutter Speed being the primary ways of lessening or mostly eliminating it from recorded videos, short of actually changing the lighting conditions. I know when I first noticed it happening with my Nexus 6P, there were certain conditions it was quite pronounced but, much as in one of your videos, if I adjusted the camera position or angle I could get the automatic settings to reduce or eliminate the effect. Maybe I just lucked out; but it didn't seem to happen nearly as often with my Pixel XL.
My Galaxy S22 Ultra has a really bad color shift when looking from the top. The screen gets a green tint even when you are looking only a few degrees from the top. You can see it here:
https://imgur.com/gUDFh2Z
(It's more apparent in real life than in this picture)
Looking from all other angles than the top the display looks fine. But it looks like the screen is shimmering if you turn the phone a little. I tried to caputre the effect on this video:
https://imgur.com/e7PghPU
I have my display set to WQHD+, adaptive refresh rate and vivid mode. The brightness when I took the photo was around 60%, but the problem occurs at all brightness levels.
My previous phone, the Galaxy S20 5G, doesn't suffer from this problem. The screen does not change color at all when I look at it from a slightly different angle.
https://imgur.com/H2S3KwV
So I'm wondering if other S22 Ultra users have had the same problem or if my phone is just broken and I should replace it?
Thx for your help
I have to admit I don't "see" it. I think the brigthness and the rounded edges may cause a somewhat "dark" line depending on viewing angle but I don't think it's a defect.

I also do not think that it is a manufacturing defect because I checked all the devices around me and they were the same degree of green, do you think it is because of the new type of glass Victus 7 Plus
I had the Note20U and it was common to see that on the edge on white backgrounds, which is why you can't see it in "flat" phones like the s21U and S22 non ultra series. I think the same applies to foldable phones when viewed in a certain angle with white background.
Mine does the same if I look at the screen from a very off angle. Had not taken note of it though until you pointed it out. Guess I was just not expecting a good quality view from such a steep angle. Just out of curiosity, I looked at a similar angle at my computer screen, TV, Kindle, Tablet, and an old phone. They all have various degrees of imperfect display when viewed from a steep angle although the shift in color was most noticeable on the S22. But still, I guess I would not consider it a defect.

I am a user of all versions of Sam and all devices have different Vision angles, but the Galaxy 22 Ultra is annoying and I expect because of the 1750 nit brightness
Mine has the same issue. I bring it to the Samsung center. Their demo device was the same. So i assumed it wasnt the manufacture defect. And most of the time, no one will look at the phone from the top down like that. So that was not a big issue at all. We should be thankful that the grey uniformity is much better than those from Sony or LG. The grey uniformity in low light on those phone were abysmal
It's not a manufecture defect, this is "normal" to curved screen on some viewing angles, same happens with the flip and the fold and the N20U, the flat S21/S21+/S21U/S22/S22+ do not have this issue as there is no curve

I did not have this problem on the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and it was not that bad as is the case on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the color of the screen changes to green, which is very clear for the simplest tilt of the screen

This is a problem, which is defined by the bad viewing angle, and it may be worse than the uniformity of the gray color, which may appear only in gray and in weak lighting conditions, but this problem is annoying because it accompanies you with all light colors, and it is a problem that appeared in the first batches of the Galaxy S21 Ultra and was referred to by some reviewers and it was widespread in the days of the Galaxy
It's faulty. My 1st S21 Ultra behaved the same way. Meaning it had a very aggressive color shift with the slightest of viewing angles. I understand OP fully.
I have the same green shift as well on my S22 Ultra. It was not there on my S20 Ultra. It is more likely due to "improvements" in the screen, what you gain, you lose elsewhere. While the green tint is there, it doesn't affect me as I look at my phone directly. Others trying to peep over my shoulder can enjoy the green shift.

Return it and get a phone from a different manufacturer or stop worrying about it.
Those are your only two options.
