My Ameo,s main camera started by showing blurry and distorted image, then the camera does not start all together at time and the last issue is that when it finally started nothing was showing on the main camera as of now but the inner camera is working good... tweaked all settings, NO WAY! could this be as a result of a corrupt camera application in the extended rom or a manufacturer defect?
If it is an application problem, can someone please post the appliaction .cab file.
thanks

do you have the same problem? how do you know that?
The problem I have been having soince flashing to the newest WM6 Rom
is that ever now and then the picture taken is just a solid grey.. The Camera
app works as normal, but the resulting pic. is just all grey.. It seems to happen once every 10 or so pix, sometimes more.

I have this problem, only when I place it extremely close to the screen of my laptop to take pictures of the screen.
Mine happens at all times.. Inside, Outside, still subjects, moving subjects..
It happens at random times.. 10 pix will be good the 11th is screwed then the
next 7 work, then 1 bad.. etc.etc.
hi guys.. same here. this is my first dopod.. i've been using my old xda ii and the camera is at least quite decent.. i would have thought that with the high cpu speed, refresh rate would have at least be similar to something that a nokia phone can produce.. but in a indoor setting, the main camera is like so damn blur and in sloow motion... and the result is that if i am taking a picture of my kid, it is like an artistic picture.. i see nothing!!! haha.. but with a nokia phone, at least the picture is ok.. what is wrong!?!?!
how can we improve our picture taking or it is doom???? PLLEEAASSEE someone with any solutions, please help.. i tried to download cool camera but it does not work on the u1000.
i bought the phone also to capture my kid and post the pic online.. so i m not expecting super high quality shots.. but at least something decent.. and i mean decent like at least i can tell the features of my kid.. now i see blurness.. haha
Ok I have the same problem. Does anyone have a manual on how to open up the device. I think it isn't fitted corectly and want to see if i can fix it.
Hello,
This kind of problem ?
It's coming after WM6 french version upgrade...
Fred, waiting for a solution, and searching...
Its a bunch of different results... I have not had the prob. since upgrading to the latest HTC WWE ROM.
For the moment, my main camera does not work anymore...
2 hard reset and 2 installation of the french WM6 update, nothing better...
Is-it possible to make a copy of the WM5 and WM6
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera keys for me ?
Thanks a lot.
Fred.
Try the PK2 ROM, or the latest HTC ROM

I think like you. My 7500 will return to the store.

I have the X7501 with the latest HTC USA ROM. I have only taken about 15 pictures and I have seen the green distorted image and one grey frame as well. My device was locked up so I soft-reset and I have not seen the problem since. I will post here if I have any more trouble. We may be onto something here.

The first problem with my device was the green distorted image. The next level was the pink noise (1 color missed), and finally my main camera did not work anymore. The softreset and hard reset did not help me.
You should be lucky!
just a quick rehash about the topic on camera quality indoors.
i have noticed that if i lower the brightness to -2, i get really smooth video on the screen when i am trying to take a picture indoors. now if only we can have this smooth video but increase the brightness...
i don't know if i am asking too much.. is this possible? is there someways we can do this by adjusting the HKEY?
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this - when I take pictures sometimes, they are all blank - i.e. just a grey canvas.
It only seems to happen in bright outdoor conditions...
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Yes that used to happen to me when running black 2.5 but it didnt matter if i was outside or inside the camera would just not take a picture and it would be a blank black/grey if you look close when you take a picture that works it takes a second or two to load up and be put into the memory with the blank ones they load up right away almost like the hermes is not storing the info of the picture properly
i had this happen a couple of times too, usually restart and its fine.
This occurred on my device when using the 2mb pixel size(the largest) with a deep field of focus...like outdoor pictures. I fixed it permanently by installing the latest firmware/os from my provider---cingular. Your mileage may vary.
As long as it's not hardware, I don't mind
I'd hate to have to try and convince the guys in the shop that yes really, t-mobile have released a WM6 ROM and it's official and still under warranty ;-)
Smiffy.
I had the same problem. I think it was comin' from an RSS software. It happened even after a soft reset.
After removing the software, it happens once a long time. Which is ok, just close the camera and start it again, it'll work if not.. poke it on the underside, u know which hole
It's the Super Fine setting on the camera that does this in bright outdoor conditions.
Switch to a different quality level and I bet it won't happen again.
Hi,
I experienced it too, but I catch the issue, because my camera said that my memory was full... but it isn´t full. I just closed all apps but camera and it magically started to take good pics again using 2M resolution and super fine quality.
Regards,
Taguapire.
Hi folks.....,
Anyhow, I have several questions for y'all about the phone. I was wondering, can anything be done about the pink hue in camera shots? I've noticed that in some pictures, it's not so evident, but in others, it's clear as day. Is there a trick to this? I know that changing phones don't really work as it seems to be something to do with the tech of the camera itself + the housing of the lens or something.
Also, since this is my first time using WM 6.5, is it normal for the Start menu, to segment in terms of scrolling? Like, instead of a smooth drop all the way to the bottom, it goes in "pages" almost, if this makes any sense. Also, is there a trick to using capacitive screens? Whenever I try to use my fingertip to scroll, sometimes it registers, sometimes it half-registers. Is angle an issue here? Do you get better with this over time?
I'm running stock ROM right now, with a yellow-reset button if that matters, with 2.13. Having said that, what are some of the common things I can check for in terms of manufacturer's defects, etc? I want to try avoiding flashing until I've checked for these common issues first to save me the hassle of flashing back again, etc.
Thanks everyone! But boy...the phone is snappy.

I can't answer your question about the pink hue. I haven't noticed it in my pictures, yet.
Yes, the page scrolling in the start menu screen is by design. It's so you don't go way farther down than you wanted to. I think it's retarded.
The touch issues you are describing could be for two different reasons.
1st, I hope you aren't using your fingernail? A capacitive screen requires skin contact.
2nd, the 2.13 ROM has serious touch sensitivity issues. There is a sticky in the "T-Mobile USA HD2 General" forum up top that gives you a .cab to install that fixes the registry for much more responsive touch scrolling.
Since you posted this in that same forum, I'm sure you will see it up there!
Thanks for the reply. I actually tried the cab above by zim or something, and it made my touch scrolling so much worse in SPB Mobile Shell. So I don't know what's going on.
Anyhow, I spoke with a T-Mobile rep, and we went through the usual rigmarole, and he told me since I can't get rid of the pink hue, I should just go back and get an exchange. Anyone think I should do this? Or are all units likely to have this problem? How many HD2 users here do not have this problem for the T-Mobile HD2 version?
A good number of the units have the "pink hue" problem. You can see several videos people have made on YouTube about this.
I have a bit of it as well.
My contention...live with it because it seems as though you have about a 50/50 chance of getting another unit with the same problem.

Is it normal to see the pink hue even through the screen though? Like, you start up the camera, even just at looking at the screen, I can see the pinkness in the center already. Is this normal?
That's my worry too. Everything else with the phone works so far. No dead pixels, no manufacturer's defects in the physical case....my worry is that by exchanging, I'm increasing the risk of obtaining one of these other problems.
Edit: Also, I have to mention that the pink hue is without flash.

Mine...on occasion it does have the pink tint but when I take the picture it is not there. People said to try to take a picture of a blank piece of white paper and see what it looks like. I tried with my phone and it looked white and my friend tried it with his iphone 3gs and it was fine as well. I read somewhere about it being an issue with a number of cameras not only the HD2. That being said a lot of people have including myself have taken really good pictures without a hint of pink?!?!

don't use your finger tip, use the pad. the conductance of the tip is lower than the pad. my left index finger simply won't work at all!

Yeah, I figured as much now. I realize when I use the pad of my thumb and scroll, it's so orgasmic and makes me jizz in my pants. And to see the scrolling without the icons being rendered as you go is.....just ....how it was supposed to be.
Funny enough though, I can't seem to hit the corners as easily. This is apparently evident when for example, you're in the Phone settings, and you have the two arrow keys on the bottom right. It's almost impossible for me to use my right thumb without hitting 10 times while my left-thumb needs about 2 ~ 3 tries. The screen seems to register the touch at the center of my thumb-pad, so to speak. Is this normal? Or does it just register the area of the thumb that gives off the most "signal", so to speak?

The pink spot was addressed by an HTC-issued patch for the euro Leo, which is still available on the HTC support/updates site for that model. But, the patch states that it's for builds prior to the ones used in the Tmo models, so I don't know that it will make a difference, but you're welcome to try it. I think the same tweak is available in all the HD2 tweaks listed in the sticky on the main page...in the list of all the "touch-x" cabs smaberg posted, there's one there for the "camera fix", I believe that's the same thing.
I haven't noticed the pink spot on my HD2 at all, and I did a test or two with a white paper...but I honestly don't remember what lighting I used. If I were you, I'd just test it several ways (indoors/outdoors/flash/no flash) and compare the results.

It's much more prevalent in indoor shots without flash. For outdoor shots, it's hard to notice it, but the farther you go away from the picture, the more noticeable the pink blur is. The radius of the pinkness get larger as the darker the ambient surround gets, at least for me.
Im still debating whether it is worth the hassle to argue for a brand new one, knowing that the reps might be reluctant to shell out a brand new HD2 over what they'd probably deem as a "minor" discoloration or something.
i noticed the pink hue on my hd it started after i had the screen replaced and then added copilot i beleive its from where the video driver has an issuse and it maybe to where u hav to get the device replaced dude if u hav a custom rom try task 29 and then add a new different rom so that the rom is fresh on the device now so far on my hd2 i see no pink hue but i hav one of the first genration of tmous-hd2 i ordered it the first day,,, hope info helped

Hmm, but I've read online it's more to do with the low-quality of the camera parts and nothing to do with software really. Seems like a hit or miss really. Still fidgeting at this point whether to get it replaced or not since everything else works perfectly.
Anyhow, running SPB Mobile Shell on this monster results in 0 lags/freezes.

Yeah, my understanding is that the root of that issue is hardware based...the fix that was released was just an attempt to improve the way the software tries to compensate for that. But yes the only way to 100% eliminate it is to use higher-quality (and therefore bulkier) hardware components, at least from the references I've read on the topic.

What would you do Phunkee? Live with it or try your luck for a new phone?
Also, does anyone know if enabling Wireless N increases your drain when using Wi-Fi? And if you'll see a speed increase on Wireless G networks? And does enabling Wireless N count as "voiding" the phone's warranty?

If it's noticibile enough in your own pictures that it bothers you, I'd only try for a replacement phone if they can guarantee you a new one instead of a refurb (might want to take it into a store). I still can't seem to recreate the issue for sure, at least in any pictures where coloring isn't already kooky overall because of lighting irregularities.
Keep in mind too that it looks like new/replacement units are now being shipped with the 2.13 ROM from the factory, so also decide if that matters to you or not.
EDIT: I don't know about the wifi-N drain or performance improvements...I have it enabled on mine but my work and home networks are still G-only. I'm 99.8% sure though that it does NOT void your warranty to enable that.
1. There is a CAB file for the pink spots, have you tried it on your model?
2. Wireless "N" seemed to drain my power more also. And no it will not void your warranty because after a hard reset it will turn the registry tweak off. Hard Reset brings everyting back to stock except for your call timers. (unless you HPSL'd your phone).
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. Right now, I've noticed that outdoor shots, it's hardly noticeable on the computer, so I think I'm likely to just stick with this phone. Everything runs great after all.
Anyhow, I wanted to ask, how do you guys use your screens? Do you use the base of your thumb? I can't for the life of me get scrolling to work when I use the tip of my forefinger. Not my nail, just even towards the tip, it's choppy. I test it out on the Notes program and I try to do a flick and I can understand why. Instead of a single vertical line being drawn, it's being split into 3 ~ 4 smaller lines, as though the screen is not able to register the touch continuously. Is this something to do with my personal body charge and how my finger is shaped? I only ask because I've used an iPod Touch before and I was able to scroll just fine with my finger tip. Is there anyway to improve the sensitivity even further?

There has been some sensitivity issues with 2.13; not saying that's it but a good place to start looking. There are also some registry tweaks for the flicking of your finger (how far it flips up/down). I don't have the exact link, but a quick search will get you in the right place. I personally use the end of my index fingers, thumbs, whatever finger is closest to the key I'm looking for.

by pages I wonder if you are describing lagging. Lagging should not be normal. I suggest you notate how much free ram you have and how your program screen behaves (smooth or laggy)by going to >start menu>settings>system memory. After, run clean ram and repeat the above mentioned steps. You should have more memory and a smoother user interface.

I also noticed that the button used to end the call, it seems
orange and not red as it should.
I restored the settings but not solved the problem. I'll try to flash the rom again to see if it works, but seems to be a hardware problem that appeared out of nowhere

That do not sound so good. Looks like a hardware failure to me. Do you have the screen on full brightness all the time? Perhaps you could try changing display density in build.prop and reboot. How long do you have your sgs?

Galaxy S screen problem fault
I am having the same problem. Vodafone Australia stock.
The screen has lost its clarity.
Actually, it appears as though every 2nd horizontal line has been lost - this is quite evident when you scroll through a list that has dividing lines (Eg. Scroll through settings - the separator lines alternate visibly as you scroll).
I've had the i9000 for just under 4 weeks and this fault occurred without any reason (not dropped, no water damage, not exposed to heat, etc). The phone was fine one minute and then the next, it became blurry.
The colours all look flat, the background is no longer crisp black, it is light black/grey as if the LCD that had its brightness settings turned up too high.
Also, tried upgrading Android to 2.2 (from 2.1) and that didn't help. This fault appears to be a hardware fault - you can see the loss of resolution when the Galaxy S logo appears when you first turn the phone on (before Android boots). Look at any curved text/lines and you will see that it appears with jagged lines.
Don't waste your time doing the factory reset, upgrades, etc... It is a hardware fault. I spent a bit of time running the screen through the LCD tests " *#*#0*#*#* " and downloading DPI checkers, etc.. The LCD test shows the solid Red, Green and Blue are ok, as was the dimming test.
The image looks grainy as if it was displayed in the wrong or low resolution. It looks like an old school CRT screen at VGA resolution - almost pixelated.
I have installed the Aries bootloader and the small font text displayed also looks grainy and very hard to read.
Have a look at the two images I've attached.
Real shame, I was starting to get attached to this phone.

Don't waste your time. If you got warranty, you are going to get a new Screen or perhaps a new phone. Go for it.

Did you changed kernel? which kernel are you on?
I had a similar experience (not so bad) when trying some kernel with sharpness and color fixes.
You could try flashing hardcore's speedmod k13c Kernel, it also has some sharpness and color fixes but his work very good.
i don't have thi problem
I have the same problem, just purchased a i9000 four days ago, and it fail after 30 minutes of use .
It si very strange, because if i zoom a image, it will also enlarge the banding gradients (like if the image was low quality)
THe problem only appears wirh dark colors, strong colores dont have any problems.
this sounds like a display problem

Hello everyone,
Got a problem with my Galaxy note 3 amoled screen. Couple months ago some lines appeared on that, look like artefacts or dead pixels or something, not really sure. Didn't drop/drop in water the device before that. No idea why that happen. But, they don't go.
Tried some dead pixels apps from market with no success.
Due to certain reasons cannot give the device to repair service, so, need to try to fix that by myself.
OS version is 4.3, if that matters.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Will attach the screenshot. The line in the middle. Have few of them already. Background is green, to make it more visible.
Thanks!

Will attach the screenshot. The line in the middle. Have few of them already. Background is green, to make it more visible.
Thanks!

Looks more like heat damage to the screen adhesive than a software/electronic defect, to me. I'm just guessing here, but could it have been left in a spot where a beam of focused light could burn the screen? Mine has a few little defects on the screen from where a water bottle on a window ledge focused the sunlight onto a point on the screen.
factory reset.
Flash stock rom and see .
Thanks for replies guys,
One more thing I probably should mention,
The line on the attached pic is maximized, the real lines are quite small, like 3-5mm length. Really small. But anyway visible...
Jaitsu,
Hmm tried to recall but don't think something like that happened. Sometimes I use my phone as GPS when riding bike, means it's outside under the sun (but not a focused light or something), max. 1 hour per time. Could that be reason?
Also, did you find any way to fix that, by yourself?
I read about several ways to fix screen issues, including leaving phone without battery for some time, or even placing it into the freezer. Tried battery method yesterday with no result, but kind of worry about the freezer...

Yes factory reset is a common advice but you really think it might help? Looks like a hardware issue to me. Can a software glitch damage the display? Also, lines are everywhere on the screen, not like one certain place.
Will give it a try if nothing else found, just, sounds uncommon...
Agree probably hardware but a factory reset rules out firmware .
Thats the first step for a service tech sheet .
