ROM 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE still has a huge pink spot in attached pictures. Looks like it's definitely a hardware problem with probably the low-quality plastic lens. Possible chromatic aberration?
yup, my phone has it too. I took some pics of a blank sheet of paper and there was a nice pink hue in the middle of the paper!
Wasn't there a software fix for this?

The released hotfix is only for 1.66 roms and LOWER, and assuming this 2.10.x rom has all previous hotfixes rolled into it.
I see.
For the record, I have the same ROM as you and I don't seem to have the spot.
Camera
I have taken probably 100 + photos and have yet to notice any spots.
In fact, so far, I am very pleased with the quality of the photos the HD2 produces. By far the best camera on any phone I have owned, and thats been quite a few...
Stock rom installed.

take a pic of a blank sheet of paper in daylight and see if any pink shows up, or anything that's white will do.

Just tried it, and no spots. Someone mentioned the lens cover, possibly a lens to lens problem. Others are not effected by this problem as well.
fhaines
let me try to upload mine.
how do you get the pictures to show in your post?

I'm having a problem with green tint in my pictures. And sometimes the flash makes the pictures too bright. There should be a way to disable one of the lights in the flash. You don't need it all the time in my opinon. I called tmobile about the green tint in my pics. They are sending me a new phone. Hopefully it works out ok. Has anyone else experienced this??
I'm not having this issue. I would have to say it's probably a manufacturer's error.
Have you contacted T-Mobile or HTC about it?
BTW, this phone's video and picture capabilities are actually better than my $200 Cannon, LOL!
i only get the greenish-yellow tint only when it's a picture taken with flash, lol, pick your poison, no flash for pink, flash for green-yellow!
yes i did...they are going to send me a another phone. Wish me luck
I still have it after manually patching the phone. I think it has to do with shooting outdoors in sunlight though.
I've checked my history of FUZE/Touch Pro pictures and they have a pink spot too (visible in the histogram in Picasa)!
It looks like it's common HTC camera problem that I can date back possibly to the TyTN II which explains why it still shows up in TMOUS HD2 after all the European HD2 hubbub. So much for Quietly Brilliant.
That's unfortunate for ANYONE who has experienced this "apparently" still existing issue with the camera. I have had NO such trouble, whatsoever. All of my photos have been insanely crisp, and absolutely gorgeous.
Then again, I did perform a registry tweak to increase the maximum resolution that the camera is capable of outputting.
now that you mention it
Heres some pictures i snapped all of which have a slight pinkish tint to them i didn't notice it till today. Anyone working on a fix? Or should i see if T-mobile will trade me out phones?
Normally i wouldn't care but I take a lot of pictures like all the time and this is gonna start bugging me
HHHMMMMM Interesting
Look what I found
http://pocketnow.com/thought/clarification-the-pink-spot-syndrome
let me go take a picture with my Nexus see if it does it too
Edit: Ok Im back and so i guess HTC FTL!!! lol j/k oh well i guess I'm gonna have to settle for pink.
I'm gonna try my Dads 3GS next time I see him.

So that's why I see it in my Touch Pro too! So it must be camera optics.
It can't be sensor/uv burn-in because TMOUS HD2 is brand new less a week old spending most of its time in indoors and in pouches. It's very apparent on histograms.
If it's a white balance issue, it is contradicted by the fact it's a circle and not an overall image issue. It's also NOT present on DSLRs and other normal cameras that I've used.
Hi All - had my Note for a couple of weeks now, hardly used the camera but just tried it and there is a pink tint/hue at the centre of the camera view area which shows on taken pics too. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I have the international/UK white version of the Note.
Its normal all to do with light note and s2 has issue

Yes Ive seen the problem with the S2, however its really noticeable and it seems that Samsung have not fixed the problem at all. Really quite disappointed with it on such a high end device.
i saw it happen once recently with low light and low screen brightness on one camera app. but didnt happen with other camera apps. dont remember which app though. so try other camera apps to see if it is an app problem. turn up screen brightness and see if issue resolves
this problem is very common (the HTC devices i owned had the same issue) and there is not really a solution to it for now. the reason for this problem is within the optics, it CAN be compensated software-wise, but there is no 100% compensation possible. also this occurs only for specific wavelengths, therefore the light-source is important too!
All due to cheap sensors. The sensor isn't big enough to let sufficient light in so the darkest part (the center) gets the weird pink effect. You won't see too much of this when you're out in a sunny day.
This is just the nature of the game with cellphone sensors.
hmmmm... it seems blue on my phone. not pink at all
mine is green..... :s

mine is a perfect mix of VIBGYOR pattern (white!)
mine is sometimes green.
but its seams to be problem with the AWB (auto white balance) and artificial light sources. If I change my WB to a daylight (or what ever) the pink/green spot is gone. When i switch back to AWB most of the time the pink/green spot is also gone
i would appreciate if you can test this
Anyone got a purple overlay on their front camera when there is no light?
I get heavy purple or blueish vignetting with the front camera in low light, but only with the stock camera app.
First pic is from stock app, second one is from Google Camera.
Does anybody else see what Fuzalert2k sees when the camera is covered, i.e. dark? That means the image enhancement algorithm goes crazy in low light conditions. Does your camera work normally otherwise?

Yes, the purple hue is also apparent in not-so-low light as you can see from my sample.
No, it's not the same phenomenon at all. This effect is only visible in the end result picture and it's the entire picture rather than just a spot within it. This is also not related to white balance, just seems to be a problem in the post-processing of the stock camera app specifically.

Yeah definitely not the same thing.
Look's like I'll be using Google Camera in future.
I must say Sony really dropped the ball on the Z3C camera software, and have yet to fix it or even acknowledge it.
I come from the HTC One.
The "pink hue when dark situations" was a well known problem there.
For soem time HTC used faulty camera sensors, which caused this problem.
If you experience sthis problem with your HTC One you can send your device in and get a replacement.
I hope that this is not the same wit the Z3Cs.
I for myself can't reenact this behaviour with my Z3C.

You are trying it with the front facing camera, are you?
It wouldn't make sense if it was a faulty sensor because it only happens in the stock camera app.
Now went into a completely dark room.
You are right, with the front cam, there is little bit of pink hue on the edges.
Yes, it is very "good" that it's only visible with the stock app.
Therefore the sensor should be okay.

Hi all,
I just wanted to start a new thread regarding galaxy s6 camera issue, particularly about the pink tint/flare at night shots.
This is well known issue for HTC M7, and I did not expect the same issue from Samsung.
Basically, the camera is fine at daylight shots, but at night shots it will produce pink tint or flares around the corner edges. Sometimes the whole photo will just look pink.
See the attached photos for example.
I have taken a photo at the same location with iphone 6. As you can see it is so much better reflecting black colour sky. The s6 camera fails miserably at low light shots.
Even in the pitch black room, it will produce this pint flares.
I am wondering whether this issue is going to be massive one, just like for the HTC M7 handset (its thread on XDA runs very very long).
I hope this is not the case for s6.
I have returned mine for replacement. I'll report back whether the replacement unit is faulty as well.
This is going to be my 3rd replacement. First two times had a bad screen with yellowish tint. I have to say I am very disappointed with Samsung's QA.
By the way, my phone was 64gb, ISOCELL camera.
Today, I have visited many different network stores and retailer shops to to see if I can replicate this issue on the display models.
When I covered the camera lens on the display models with a cloth so that it shows total blackness, none of them exhibited the issue I have. Same experiment on mine will produces these pink tint.
I have checked more than 15 display models, galaxy s6 and s6 edge, in different stores and it surprised me they all had Sony sensors.
They were all 32gb models.
A friend of mine has a 64gb galaxy s6 gold colour as well and he's experiencing the similar problem, but not as bad as mine. This leads me to believe, perhaps the issue is only with ISOCELL units.
If you are experiencing the similar issue, could you please post what sensor you are using?
Thanks
I only have the pink tint issue in the centre of the screen. All my s6s have it in the centre,whether Sony or Samsung
I forgot to mention that all settings were set to auto.
Even in the pitch black light condition, I get those pink flares around the edges of the photo.

I have the Isocell and I see NO pink at all. I did have the M7 with the pink issue and I know exactly
what you are talking about. Absolutely NO pink cast in any low light shots.

Looks like amp glow or noise coming from somewhere, turn the ISO down and it'll stop that, perfectly normal when the ISO is being boosted to stupid levels.
What do the image properties say on the originals? What ISO are they set at?
These things aren't all built equally either though, maybe yours is getting more interference from somewhere.

Every photo was taken with auto mode setting. Tried different locations at night to see if they all produce this pink cast and they all did.
I don't play with ISO or any other camera setting on a smartphone. For a smartphone, I just want to take it out of my pocket and then take a shot.
I tried lowering the ISO and it does reduce the noise and pink tint; however, the photo then becomes all dark. What is the point of having a F1.9 camera sensor if you can't even take a brighter photo at low light conditions compared to an iphone..
Also, when I do that covering the camera lens thing with a cloth, mine produces this pink cast whereas the display models did not. Display models produced pitch black photos without any pink cast like the one Aletheia posted above. All settings were set to auto mode for this "experiment".
Since Aletheia's camera sensor is ISOCELL, I wonder if this pink cast issue is not related to camera sensor types. Mine could be just faulty.
I would like to find out though how many people are having this problem and what percentage of these people have got ISOCELL sensor.

This is what I got from the display models (all setting set to auto) and no pink cast at all.
MIne is just un-usable at this stage at night. Every photo gets this nice pink cast..

Okay I tried it for you and get a little of the pink stuff. I think it's normal because the ISO is boosted above 1250.
If someone is willing to do the same with Sony to compare, that'd be great.
Here's a shot at ISO800. No pink ****.
I still see overall pink cast on the photo to be honest.
Can someone with Sony sensor take a photo in the pitch black condition with setting set to all auto and see if it produces any pink cast.
The display models I tried with showed no pink tink whatsoever.

Here I have compared s6 vs iPhone 6.
Both phones had all settings set to auto.
Left is s6 and right is iPhone 6.
I don't know if s6 is having trouble with auto iso or something. For me I have to decrease the iso significantly to get the pink cast effect to minimal but by then whole photo becomes darker than iPhone.
Look at the difference when you take a photo in the pitch black condition.
Clearly something is not right with my s6. All settings were set to auto for both phones..
Sent from my SM-G920I using XDA Free mobile app
Took some photos with iso set to 100 and pink cast is still present (more obvious if you turn screen brightness to max.)
I am concluding this is sensor related issue at this point.

If you're colorblind, please disregard this thread. Rate this thread to express how you deem the color saturation and accuracy of the Huawei Mate 20's display. A higher rating indicates that you think that color accuracy is very high and saturation is excellent.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Hi, has anyone noticed that the half bottom of the mate 20 display has yellow tint compared to the half top? A Huawei warranty agent had already checked my mate 20. And he said that i could exchange for a new one if it does not have the same problem as my old mate 20 had. I have watched some Youtube mate 20 unboxing clips and I thought some of them had that yellow tint issue too. My two previous LCD phones have light bleeding but not the yellow tint like this. How about yours? I'm a little worried right now!

sr but it's very hard to notice that yellow tint by looking at the pictures, in spite of seeing it very clearly with bare eyes at top and bottom of the screen with all-white apps or pictures. And I have exchanged it for the new one already.:fingers-crossed:

In the first picture the defect is exagerated , the second one is a iphone XR wich seems to have the same problem and the third is the mate 20 original picture.
I think huawei lcd screen technology is bad, the new exchange phone of me still has that yellow tint just not that much like before. Do you know why is that happen?
Yes, same goes to me. I visit service center once and talk with the technician. Seem the problem occur is quite rare in my country. (malaysia). But, he ask me to keep update if the yellow tint become worst.
I have the same a slight warm white on the bottom, and a slight bleed, sometimes is difficult to see, it depends of light and brightness conditions.
So I was thinking in exchange it, so what is the odds of getting one better?

Why didn't you go for replacement, if is uncommon the odds would be great to get one perfect.
This is what I'm asking my self is it common this issues or very random.

That is what im thinking but currently they still fixing mate 20 pro bleeding issue. So, i don't think its a good time to replace due to waiting period will be longer than it should. ???
apparently the phone panel has a strong yellowish tint and to remedy that choose vivid cool .. this will make whites whiter not yellowish .. with colors set to vivid cool i still do notice the yellow tint in the lower screen and bleeding light but they are very minimal and i am called a pixel peeper .. at least this will make whites whiter not yellowish
but the other problem is the over-saturated red color .. not only that when you tilt the screen and videos is full screen contrast is enhanced and colors becomes over-saturated automatically and this makes a lot of videos looks overly saturated in landscape mode
I haven't noticed that. Seems perfect to me.
Little update, I'm in a second unity, and the screen is more uniform, but white is more a warm them the first, even trying to compensate with vivid setting and adding more blue, the color temperature is diferent.
Regarding the backlight bleeding is less visible also than the first unity.
So I think is kind of lottery having a perfect screen.
