[Q] Pink tint in pictures

Anyone else having an issue with pink tint in the default camera app? If I knock the saturation back one level it seems to be fine. But set on default saturation it makes anything with even a hint of red in certain kinds of light turn bright pink.

Try this

Ok try this turn camera on focus on something white to see if u have pink spot . If so wave you hand slowly in front of the camera and let the camera focus on your hand and repeat until pink is gone

Gave that a shot. It appeared to help while I had the camera focused on the page. Using the camera again though and on default saturation it's still coming out pink. I'm wondering if this is a software issue or a hardware one. Have to decide by the 28th if I should go back and exchange this phone for another.

From my experience every HTC unit I have used does this in low light situations . But you can try to exchange and see if it helps.

That was what I was wondering. If this was an issue with my unit or if other people were having the same experience. When the lighting is good the tint does go away, for now keeping the saturation down one level seems to do the trick.

I have the same problem taking pictures oudside, with bright lighting. I take pictures of my chickens, and their heads look magenta, not red. I just lowered the saturation and took a test photo inside, and it seemed to help a bit. I have only had the phone for a week, and with the exception of the magenta chickens, I like the phone.

Mine does it too. My hunch is that its not a defect, and its never actually occurred to me that it might be. So I haven't compared with other HOX's to see if its a defect or not. I seems like its intentionally oversaturated by HTC to make the colors look more vivid. It usually looks ok. But sometimes it makes people's faces look like they have a ton of pink blush on their faces. I don't personally think its a low light issue. Seems to sometimes appear in sunlight too. But bright sunlight tends to wash out colors, so the pinks and reds are often not there to begin with (especially on faces), so there is nothing to oversaturate.
I remember in the sample photos taken with the phone and released by HTC before the phone was even released, and thinking they all looked really artificially oversaturated.

light bleeding issue

I have bought an asus infinity a week ago and it was the most exciting device i have ever had untill a white dot poped up in the middle of the screen .
Im afraid now that more dots will apear and it gets worse. so,do i have to exchange it specialy ,that i dont face any other problem with it.
ps. iam using stock rom and serial no starts with c8.
exchangeing it is very diffecult for me if it is not impossible

Could someone who has had "Bleed" problems describe how these actually look? I would like to know what to look for. Is it ambient light from the outside washing out the picture, is it blotches where the black colors are washed out, or is it something else? I notice a slight degradation in black/white transition quality when I boost the brightness to 100%, but I would consider that a normal affect.
Based on the complaints here, I feel very much in the minority of people who are content with their tablets, though I suspect the content folks have less to talk about. I am not crazy about the "looseness" of my power or volume switches, but my screen fits, the software moves within normal limits and everything else is sound.
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can offer about the "bleed" issue.

Light bleed is a little hard to catch at times.
What to look for are bright areas around the edge of the screen.
If you hold the tablet at a low angle when the screen is presenting a gray or an off white color it will be visible (if it's there.)
Light bleed is most visible when cold booting (tablet all the way off-then powered back on) and screen is very dark.
Just about any device that has an LCD screen has varying degrees of light bleeding.
Some tablets have bleeding at all times, some just during boot and others none or it disappears after warming up.

I have sometimes noticeable light bleed from right edge, luckily it goes away after warming up..

[Q] Horizontal Lines while recording video in low light

When I try to record video indoors I can see horizontal lines of noise in the video. It generally is only visible in solid brown colors. It looks similar to regular noise from low light except it is in lines. Sometimes it even purple hues. Unfortunately, I upgraded to Lumia Black before taking any videos so I don't know if this is a software glitch in Lumia Black. Anyone else with Lumia Black seeing this problem? Thinking of getting mine replaced as I also seem to be getting the Mura Effect on the screen and want to see if maybe I can solve two problems at once.
Thanks,
Craig
So I just had my phone replaced. The screen has some other defect, no Mura apparently but it was something else. The new one doesn't have the screen issue nearly as bad but now the horizontal lines anywhere are still there. I also tested before and after Lumia Black. Amber, the lines looked different but they were there. This does appear to indicate a hardware issue with some refurb phones as the lines are in a different spot on this one. The first had it on the the right side only. This one has it milder on the right side but also has it across the top.

uneven camera capture color. help. RMA?

if I could apply a simple filter that would be sufficient.
I don't know if my old camera had this. this is an RMA I got after internal sensors like light, prox, and accel stopped working. new box, I presume new. don't see why it wouldn't be.
the phone has gotten hot before when using Qi charger. I know heat affected the HTC One m7 sensor, could it be doing so to this one?
you're looking for a roundish oval shaped tint to the photo. its roughly in the middle.
I'm getting into Instagram more and this is really bugging me. what do you think i should do? I hate to be such a pedant but...

I don't think it used to do this
older videos I don't notice it

Weird red LIGHT!

Hi guys. I have just now received my XZP today. While I am using the phone, a faint red light is glowing constantly on the top right corner(on the right side to the Sony logo). Does anyone know what that means? And while I take photos with my rear camera, the picture taken seems to be soft. Is this a serious problem. Should I return my unit or can it be fixed with a software update? Thanks in advance guys.

Its a sensor.

It's a proximity sensor. You can turn off adaptive brighness and it won't turn on unless you call someone.
It's absolutely nothing to worry about. The sensor uses infrared light and, maybe, you're a bit better at detecting it than other people.

I can only see it on mine when in the dark. I do use adaptive screen brightness.
