Hey Guys,
Saw an article on 9to5Google today about a shaking issue with the camera. I opened my camera app and sure enough I have that issue too. I didn't notice it until today.
My personal experience with this issue is when I open the camera app and place the phone in a stationary position, the image moves around slowly like the phone is being moved.
Mine isn't as bad as the video here.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Looks like a hardware issue. I don't have this issue on my P3XL. I am running Q Beta5 though. So, I don't know if its an issue with Pie.
i remember seeing more movement when i tested my device when it was new. figured thats how they got the extra pixels for high zoom

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) :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MExfsTTMVA
Also the one from the day before located here ( dimmer lighting conditions) :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F574TME0hn0
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
My nexus camera seems to be broken. The lens constantly moves and shifts around, making non stop clicking. I can't take videos because doing a simple pan results in a shakey video that jumps up down or shakes sideways.
Has anyone else experienced this with their nexus? Is this a hardware problem or the camera focus issue people are talking about? Because this is really bad, worse than just getting unfocused photos..
Edit: I'm thinking my image stabilization is picking up wrong input and trying to correct the lens for no reason resulting in the constant shifting.
From my understanding IS is either working or not, so if the OIS controller was broken I'd get no image stabilization, so it could be software (not just the camera app, something in the internals of the system)
Does anyone have an idea what is wrong and how to fix this?
Is the cell repair shop using oem products to replace?

I 100% agree with this. Mine is completely clean with no problems - no sounds or anything.
I have had my N5 for a few months now, and it has been great. However I opened the camera app the other day against a white wall and noticed there were darker circles.
I took a picture of a brand new sheet of printer paper, in the camera app itself it is very noticeable but when you transfer it its not that bad. It does this with all camera apps I have tested. I cleaned my lens but that didn't solve the problem...thinking about RMAing it before the problem potentially gets worse, but wanted to see if its a common problem.

Thank you!
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.
Does anybody else notices that the foto's taken lately are not sharp anymore on their note? I think it came with the latest software updates definitely foto's have gotten worse just not sharp anymore when zooming and focus issues
I also have one brand new unboxed snapdragon version with similar results so it must be software !

I have the same problem. Autofocus are not stable, photos are not sharp.

I've noticed it too. I thought I just had smudges on the back of the glass or something, but it has happened way to often now. It happens even after I thoroughly clean the glass or if too much sunlight hits the lense.
However, I've noticed that if I switch to a different camera mode, like going from portrait to photo and then back to portrait, the lense seems to finally focus and usually I'll lock onto the subject and the photo is sharp again.
I usually notice the lack of focus when I'm in portrait mode starting off, right after opening the camera app. It does happen from time to time opening the app, starting in photo mode too, but not nearly as often as starting in portrait mode. This is on a Verizon Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon variant.
I read a few forums and came across one comment where a man says he had the same problem and was told at the service station that his camera module had broken down. He made a camera module in service and now there is no more problem with that ... my licbo opinion is that everything is related to a software error...
Only way I can solve it is shut off the auto stability. On everything. Antishake. I've been messing with it complaining for months

How does one make a camera module?
Has there been any movement on this?
I have a Note 20 Ultra, and I've noticed that my main camera does not focus anymore. I cannot get a sharp picture of text or my kids, or anything that's less than about 20 feet away. If I move back far enough and then zoom in, the telephoto lens can focus better.
Another test - the barcode scanner in Walmart/Target apps cannot focus on a barcode either.
I suspect this is hardware failure of the main camera. It can't focus anymore.
Does anyone have any experience fixing this?
I bought the phone "eBay Refurbished" and it came with a 1yr Allstate (SquareTrade) warranty... but that has been a mess so far, too.
There's a new option, can't remember where, that supposedly processes your images. Think AI moon debacle. Turn it off and take it raw.
I think it's activated by default after the update.

FWIW... I can't get it to focus even BEFORE I take a photo. So, it's not post-processing or anything that's messing up.
Additionally... the Walmart, Target, Amazon (etc) apps that have barcode scanners can't focus on a barcode to scan them most of the time, either.
Before I make a claim on my phone insurance and end up with a non-OEM camera replacement... I want to eliminate any possibilities that it's something software-related.
Thanks
That is odd, if it can't focus and it's not post processing it's a hardware issue. I have no problems with them right now. If you shake the phone near your ear do you hear the OIS rattle ?
Seems a warranty claim right there, it sure as hell is not software if it can't focus beforehand.

Bro from 5X it switches to that periscope lens of the camera, OFC the quality will improve
