Seems the Nexus S suffers from this issue like many before it with this type of camera sensor ...
Try pointing your camera at something white, you should see what I mean.
Also on the subject of the camera, try taking a picture of something vertivcal and see if you have to tilt the camera to keep it vertical (ie the camera seems off centre) in its orientation. No biggy, just an observation.

I do not know how this happened, if it was due to TOMTOM5 what, but the screen resoluton has become completely blurred and even a hard reset won't bring it back? attached is a photo that shows the problem. This is not a camera issue as the same distortion is visible everywhere including cnn.com? any ideas?
Explain....
So, your display is blurred or the camera? If it's the screen at fault, posting apicture from the camera doen't help us as it isn't displayed on your screen.
the screen is at fault
it is the screen, not the camera that is gone. that is why I mentioned that this happens on cnn.com too. I don't know how to do a screen shot, so I had to use a photo.
This but is similar to what one might see on an overly mpeged photo, or if I take the colors on my PC screen down to 64 or 128 from128000 etc. so I think is a setting issue, maybe tomtom reset the scree somehow? who knows, but the fix lies somewhere in the registry, I hope
Again, it won't matter if you do a screen shot as the grab is handled internally.
Get a camera and take a picture of the screen when it's displaying the problems.
a bit of confusion here...
I don't have a pc here, so I could only see the photo through this screen, not realizing the camera and hence data/ photo uploaded were absolutely fine.
Lacking a means of showing the problem, all I can do is describe it, so here goes.
The photo and images look very square, some large areas that, for example used to a clear blue, with detailed tones and variations in brightness/ contrast, becomes solid blue. this happens everywhere, all contrast and detail flatening out and becoming solid/opaq.
It may be a screen resolution or color setting that has been altered and that cannot be changed back after a hard reset. Thanks for offering to help here,

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, I did a forum search but found nothing. Just like the title says, when I take a photo with my HD2 using the camera flash, the photo has a weird green tint. Photos taken without the flash look fine. I have gone into the camera settings and played with the contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings but this didn't really solve the problem. Strange thing is, right after I take the photo, it goes into preview mode and I can see the photo with the green tint...after a few seconds it goes back to the camera. But in the split second before it goes back, I can see the photo without the green tint and it looks perfect! But only for a second and the saved photo is GREEN
I got the same green effect on my 2.2 froyo. This happened only after upgrading to the stock 2.2.
Any ideas?

Ive had green tint in some photos when ive changed the camera iso to 800 and forgotten to lower it or put it into auto when going into a brightly lit environment. basically seems like the sensor or amps/ADC are being overloaded.
Check your iso setting, try it in either auto or iso100 and see if you still have the problem
Anyone seen or heard anything similar to this? I'll open the camera app to take a picture and the view looks ok. Once I take the picture it comes out discolored, sort of like it has a retro effect on it. It mostly happens when using flash, and once taken the view shows the retro look from then on until I restart the app. I've tried other camera apps and get the same thing.
Ive uploaded two sample pics, the first being an example of any picture I take with flash(and the view I see until the app is closed) and the second is a shot without flash. Even though that picture is of a lit tv, lights on in the room and the kinect sensor pointing at it, that picture discoloration happens in any room with any type of light.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, the green discoloration is from the invisible green laser the kinect is giving off, which has likely damaged your camera.
I've heard of this happening with DSLRs.
It was happening well before I put it in the same room as the Kinect though. The 2nd picture shown(without flash) doesn't have the discoloration, and was taken just seconds after the first. Is there something different the camera does when using flash that could be damaged? Seems to take pictures just fine without flash.
are you taking this thru the built in camera app..
Do you have any other camera apps installed are all the camera settings set to stock..
these are things that could effect camera / camera flash quality.. i had similar issue after installing a cam app from market uninstalling that app solved it.
dont remember what app it was sorry
If you are using a case, It may be effecting the flash; I know when I use the stock camera app with flash in a dark room it gives a greenish tint, over the whole photo, when in the case. Taking my tablet out of the case fixes the issue. Probably the thick case bounces my flash across the clear protective glass over the lens. Your picks look a little different though.
When you get the greenish screen, instead of closing the app, try toggling one or all of the three---white balance, color effect, or scene mode and see if the screen reverts to normal.
Just tried changing the settings before and after taking a picture. It seems the discoloration happens only when scene is set on auto and flash is on. Changing from auto to incandescent with flash on takes normal pictures and fixes the screen discoloration. Switching back to a different scene setting and back to auto fixes the discoloration until you take another picture. I'd say it's software related but its happened on 3rd party camera apps.

If you havent already,..... take it outside into Natural sunlight. Set flash to always on(just to test) and every other setting to auto. Take a few test pics. Some close-ups and some landscapes to test the colors. My guess is the outdoor shots will look fine.
hey
when I go in camera mode there are 3 screen artifacts, one blue one green and one red, they are about 4 or 5 pixels in size and are spread out across the screen.
when I take the picture and view in gallery, the artifacts are not there, so clearly they are not an issue with the censor.
When I view a picture or a solid screen, the screen looks fine so its not a stuck pixel or problem with the phones display.
this leads me to believe its an issue with the camera app, does anyone else notice this??
Wut?
So, I've been having some issues with the focus on the rear facing camera for the V20
This is a pic with the Wide Angle Lens:
imgur.com/EBu8tdN
It's crisp and clear (ish)
This is a pic with the normal lens:
imgur.com/fYDOhNd
It's blurry as hell, unless I'm like two inches away:
imgur.com/qJstB0X
I've tried in both Auto and Manual mode, and have tried the focus in both Auto and Manual.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
P.S. sorry for the imgur links, I haven't posted enough to be allowed links in side my post.
Nope. Just issues with longer focus in darker scenes but that is every phone. Lens clean?
Did you find any solution, I've the same issue.
#4
i have same issues
any solutions?
Tap to focus
I find just pointing it and clicking doesn't set focus properly with some scenes
It's a bit odd as the G4 would have zero issues with this and the V20 also has IR AF
Any Solution yet?
I am also having the same issue, the focus doesn't work, neither manually nor in auto mode. Sometimes, just sometimes, it luckily does work, but most of the time it doesn't.. i dont understand what the problem is..
Recently, the camera was acting way weird, like showing dark picture with green lines, and sometimes it wouldnt even open, it showed just a black screen, i cleared data of gallery and camera, which resolved the issue, but still void of ability to focus.
