Hey guys,
My wife and I have the same phone.
I've noticed something odd since getting my.s7 (exynos) . The white in the photos I take often have a yellow tint whereas the photos my wife tales of the same thing are more natural and have no yellow. I've tried messing.with the camera setting and brightness slide from in the app, And it helps a bit. However, I feel that my.wifes phone tales better photos. Has anyone else had a similar issue with the camera?
I tried uploading some photos but cannot do so from I the app.
More details please. ROM, kernel, etc? Also this is a wrong place to create this thread

Well I was rooted on nougat and was using superstock,superman rom,helios (I think that's the name of the rom) and the issue persisted. I went back to stock mm . Issue was there too. Went back to stock nougat and kernel and issue is there sometimes. It almost seems like my camera is over sensitive to light but not sure .
I have images but again cannot upload via the app .
Here's an example
The chairs are an egg white colour but in some of the photos they come off as being yellow in the same light. I really don't get it .
Especially here
Ps-where do I put the thread?

if the chairs are white and show up yellow.....how come your shoes aren't showing yellow?
can't possibly be your camera.

Not sure man. tested it again last night against my wife's camera and she noticed it too. Its only specific things under lowlight. We can reproduce it on hers if the ccamera trieds to focus on an object in the foreground , then the background becomes yellowish, but mine does it alone. Ive messed about in rpo mode and it seems to go away, but I dont wanna have to manually set the camera preferences everytime I take a photo.
Final update. Took it to my retailer and they wanted to send it in for hardware check. Sold the phone instead and went back to Nexus 5x .

EDIT: Sorry, title should be grey* spot
Hey guys, so I just noticed when I take a picture using the new camera or Instagram there's a grey spot in one corner. I tried wiping the lens to see if was dirty and nothing changes. Its actually darker on Instagram. I tried rebooting and nothing happened. Interestingly enough, it seems to disappear during video recording. Here's a sample when taking the picture. Its in the top left corner. I noticed this today and it had not occurred before today. I had my phone since launch. All camera options have the spot except video recording. anyone have ideas?
Also, I just checked snapchat and that has no grey spot.

It could be an issue with the sensor (dirt / damage).
Video recording uses a much lower resolution. A camera pic is 8 mpix. Video records at 1080 which is about 2 mpix... So this will only use a small (central) section of the sensor. . Which marries up with the fact the spot is in the edge.
You could try reducing photo resolution too to 1.9 mpix . I bet the spot is missing again
Also given its location, I would suspect any app that shoots 16:9 photos at almost any resolution would cut the spot out as it looks to be where the image sensor would "crop" to get a 6 mpx widescreen photo

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, the spot is still there at 1.9 mp. I can try still wiping it down with a microfiber. Do you have any suggestions if it is indeed dirt? Snapchat does take fairly low res pics so it could still be that.
Odd.
If it is dirt, I've no recommendations. Sorry

And to conclude what rootSU said, if it is a spec of dust or damage, then your only option is getting it repaired or to RMA it. Software won't fix this issue.

Maybe I'm wrong about 1.9 being central like video :/ I jus always assumed it would be.

Thanks guys. I'm just not sure how it would be dust on the sensor? How would it get in there since I have had no problems with it before.
It just can. All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again

I called up Google and was told that I should wait out a few updates to see if the issue is software related and if not I can RMA. I think I'll wait a few days lol
Oh and also, he told me that a couple of updates are coming out real soon. I asked him about 4.4.3 since I was already talking to him and he said he didn't hear much but it should be out really soon. Fairly vague, but I thought it was interesting he said a couple of updates. In either case, I don't think its a software issue since multiple apps have the spot.
Do you guys know anything that I can try though to rule out it being a software issue?

A thorough wipe and a bunch of pictures with different resolution settings. But honestly I think RMA is your best bet. I've read a few threads in the past about the same issue and they all got it RMAd.

I would have already told him I wanted an RMA. The only thing that im curious about is why it doesn't show up in video recording/snapchat. I know rootSU said that it was because of the difference in resolution, but I checked the resolution of snapchat and it was 1080p. Also, when I switched to 1.9 pixel image it was still there and I feel like that's already a very small resolution.

Your testing indicates that pictures taken with different resolutions still use the whole sensory field of view and that rootSU could have been mistaken.
Does Snapshat clip the pictures i.e. into a certain shape (Instagram does squares for example)? If it does that would explain why you can't see the grey spot. If it doesn't, then I really don't know.

Well instagram does clip pictures, and the spot does appear on instagram. It actually looks more prominent for some reason. or I could just be seeing things. I don't think snapchat clips. both video on instagram and and regular camera don't have the spot.
Black spot

Same problem here as well with my new Nexus 5.Very annoying !! I noticed a dust spot in all my photos that seemed to develop in the last week.
I called Google's support line with the same problem. They are sending a replacement device within 48 hours. Very impressed.
But, I'm doubtful about LG's clean room for manufacturing.

I still stand by my theory. Actually I've just discovered the new camera no longer does 16:9. The old camera did 2mpix widescreen (16:9) so I assumed that the 1.9 mpix was the same which would cut the right and left edges off the sensor like the video does. Obviously because it's using 4:3 unlike video, it didn't prove my point and looked to disprove it but actually it doesn't.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So, I'm not sure if this new finding supports your theory. But I went into the camera app info and was able to uninstall the update to bring back to the old camera. In the view finder the spot was gone but it still appeared in pictures. For the video though, it doesn't even appear when watching the recording. So I guess it cuts it off? Regardless I'm just going to factory reset and if its still there (which I think you're right and it will be) I'm calling back and asking for RMA.

So looked for photos and found this link

Problem with imgur is it strips out exifs as well as compresses images.
So use a site that doesn't do this. flickr is a good option very easy for people to browse and link on forums for discussions.
google photos is another option but its difficult to link. So use flickr.
I just added them to flicker. Here is the link http://bit.ly/1jsOlIg
it's crazy to think that we are now able to do manual long exposure on a phone!
I was playing around with it earlier, and was pretty impressed with the quality. At ISO 50, 4 sec exposure.
All my photos have a yellow tint. See the attached. If I focus on bright light then focus on what I'm taking a photo of the yellow goes away. Is it just a sensor thing or do I have a defective unit?

Seems like that's just the cast from the type of bulbs in your room, dude. If you're wanting to tweak that try manual mode and playing with the white balance.

So you're saying, even in daylight/white light or other scenery you're still getting the yellow tint? What happens when you adjusted the WB?

I haven't messed with manual mode much. Yes. Even in daylight. If I point it at the sun then back to whatever I'm taking a pic of once it focuses I can see the yellow go away.

This was at a little before 6am this morning. To my eye the sky was dark but the GS7 really does have a KILLER low light camera (it's practically like having night vision). I am impressed in every way by this phone so far.

Yep. There's noise but it was very dark and every other phone camera I have ever used would have only shown a couple of blurry street lights. There's detail there that I couldn't see with my eyes so I'm impressed even if you aren't.

I realize this isn't going to win any photography contests. I was just impressed because I couldn't see the clouds in the sky, most of the pond was an inky black spot, and most of the ducks weren't visible. Standing there in the dark looking at the scene then looking at the picture was a stark contrast.

Yes, that was on auto. I was out for my morning run and got curious as to what the GS7 would do with such a poorly (and oddly) lit scene so I pulled it out of my pocket, double tapped the home button, and took that picture in a matter of about 5 seconds. I am sure that someone who knows how to adjust the settings properly in 'pro mode' could take it much better.
As for the guy from the first comment.... I have now seen some of his other posts. I have had some pretty spirited debates about phone choices with my friends (IOS vs. Android) but to seek out a forum full of people using some other device just to throw shade is a special kind of odd to me.

To be clear I like the S7E's camera, but I don't like the post processing Samsung does. It won't let me save a RAW image yet otherwise I could easily correct them in Photoshop CC2015. The 6P might have slightly darker images in areas, but it captures the true colors of things which I like. I'll post them up tonight/tomorrow because I have an exam at 1800-2000 as I mentioned.

I cannot put this beautiful phone down. My desktop background pops so much that it looks like I printed a picture and glued it to my screen. It is amazingly fast and responsive.. I am a little worried about scratching the ceramic back. Sure, it might be stronger than aluminum, but is it more scratch resistant too?
My only big gripe is with the camera, I have about 11 more days until I can return this to BB, and if the camera software doesn't upgrade and make this as good as my previous Nexus 6P camera, I will sadly have to return it to BB. Why isn't HDR default? Why does the flash always default to "on", even after turning it off?
When will the green model launch? That thing is sexy as hell and might be easier to find in a dark room.. I have never owned a phone other than black or gray before. But that might be my first.

Try the Google Camera port for now and if you still don't like it return it
If I'm counting correctly the 27th will be 14 days since I got this phone from Sprint... which is judgement day for me. Decisions... Decisions..

The google camera port basically makes the camera a non-issue for me. I still use stock for the monochrome photos though but seriously, just use your flash for low light photos and problem solved

I had to try it myself after seeing those images from @badadam
I experienced the same thing, and you can even see the purple tint in the view finder without taking an actual photo so it can't be because of some post processing on images.. But it's only concentrated to the middle for some reason.
I got this answer from a support guy on the Lenovo one vision foum:
This looks like a limitation of the hardware under very specific conditions. I suspect attempts to tune it out were determined to cause other side effects, but we will report it.
I´ve now asked if my device has to be returned/swapped if it is a hardware issue or if a future update can fix the problem.
I recieved the following answer to the above question from Lenovo:
Yes, that's what I mean. My personal recommendation would be to use the Night Vision feature, as previously suggested. Flash always leaves some kind of visual variation. Replacing it with a new motorola one vision won't make a difference.
I then took the attached photo (taken with night vision, indoors, not in low light) and sent it as reply asking if it is a general problem with the one vision or I and others that have experienced the problem have faulty devices.
I am tempted to returning/swapping the device in the hope of the latter.
Otherwise I will probably return the device to buy another phone. Which would be sad as I am otherwise very satisfied with the one vision. But I can't live with a phone that can't take perfect indoors photos.
That's only last update
This is before update.
Only SW issue
