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.
Hello guys!
It was raining cats and dogs today here and I decided to take the HD2 for a spin. Here are the best pics of the lot.
Straight outta the card without any modification or PP done (except the first pic for which I have changed the contrast and WB a bit)
Please post some of your pics taken with the HD2 camera...
Have a good day!
very nice.
even after the patch instalation, pictures still have pink circle in the middle, so no need to show my pinkie pics...
IMHO the pink tint is pronounced in images with a whitish center. As you can see from my pics, it is not that big of a deal otherwise.
This phone has a great quality camera.
Haven't taken many pictures yet, but here's two of our cats:
okay, here are mine. as I don't take many pics by Leo, these 2 are the best I have
my friend's F355 F1 Handling Fiorano and a bird from the Zoo
.
Another day in the office !
Not the best ive taken, just picked a quick one.
Taken at work, dark room. The front bar of lights were on pretty bright so thers some overexposure going on. For some odd reason the bands tourmanager wanted it that bright. I bet the band loved the heat. Personaly i thought it looked **** being that bright as it washed out all the other colours on stage
Here is 3 pics of mine - I have not put extra effort in these pics but will do better job next time when it's raining... I like all rainy pics
... pics were taken in Chicagoland area... (dunno why 3rd pic is displayed smaller than other two...)
Here's one i took today.
edit - Sorry - not sure why its zoomed in massive...
is there any possibility to reduce the flash light?
if i take pictures from faces in, well not really dark places, but darker than daylight, the flash uses his full power and messes up the picture. there is an example:
On my Sony Ericsson K800i the kamera did send out a light to get the focus and took the picture with the flash light...
anyone knows good settings to take pictures at darker places?
also the hd2 has a quiet bad image stabilization. did someone experienced something difrent?
here's from my HD2
okay guys i did extensive searching amongst these forums and have yet to stumble across the answer to my problem...I recently flashed enerygy may 31st rom cookies home tab..everything was going amazing speed,res,audio video...BUT THEN!!! today my wallpapers have all become blurry icon and text edges are nowhere near smooth in face when the weather app shows the sun rays on my screen it looks almost as if i had been swimming in a chlorine pool all day with my eyes open then tried to look at a street light lol you know like that weird aura...so basically overall what im trying to say is the resolution has gone from brilliant to absolute horror in a matter of a few seconds.....BTW... i had not messed with any settings or tweaks PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Talk to the ROM chef
Do you think if i just task29 and re-flash shipped rom ill be good??? cause when i flashed the rom my phone was still super vivid high res super sharp and now the screen looks like im using a blackberry
Someone please help
as on others devices (S2),also on Note i noticed that autofocus is not perfect.
On macro it works well,but on normal photos and expecially ZOOMING....i can not get a good focus.
Try to zoom 4x ...impossible to get a correct focus..for me
a personal problem...or firmware problem....?
i have last firm ...upgraded on line 2 days ago.
Regards..
You should never use digital zoom on a phone camera the results are always terrible. Also I noticed my SGSII had a tough time auto focusing during videos. It was always freaking out trying to focus on the center object.
on HTC HD2 autofocus works well also zooming...
samsung optical software are very bad...
No solution?
Have you guys noticed a tiny piece of protective plastic over the camera lens? May or not be obvious, but have you removed that?

OOPS
Mine has the plastic still on. It has a round cut out for the lens already.

are you on 2.3.6? On my note (2.3.6), I just tried what you described (4x zoom and focus) and it had no trouble focusing.
This was indoors, with some light coming through the window blinds and it's almost sunset outside. So not really bright inside.
Granted, digital zoom is always (and I mean always) a bad call compared to taking an unzoomed photo and cropping/enlarging yourself, but at least the phone had no trouble focusing while zoomed in.
its not just you
Its not just you. I have the same proplem now, but did not when i recieved it. The problem is just more aparent when zooming in the phone but you also see it unzoomed on the full photo on the PC. Auto focus just does not do its job and everything is really blurry. I think the problem only came up after a firmware upgrade, but i may be mistaken.
I already tried downgrading which did not work (maybe an even older version is required?) but then noticed the CSC code wrongly set to KOR. Stetting it to the for me correct DBT did not help either.
Anyone has this without having upgraded? Anyone solved it?<
Update: Looking back at made photos... If this is a software issue, it was not present in firmare KK9. I got a photo mentioning that firmware that was ok. However I have this version installed now, and focusing is not ok.
However i still see it possible that some changed from more recent firmwares like a camara firmware change made it in that was not reversed when installing the older version.
I'd appreciate if we could work together in narrowing down this problem by comparing situations.
My phone's auto-focus was working fine until I did the KKA firmware update. Now it is crap. I've been hoping for another update to fix it, bit no dice so far!
I have the same problem. I was considering sending my Note back or trying to find a camera replacement until I figured out my first few pix (pre update) were very good. I just hope an update comes soon because I'm working with a Mac at home and have failed to root or flash one of the updated roms.

The camera in the Galaxy Note has about 8 million photosensors. That defines the resolution you're going to get. Digital zoom only enlarges the pixels, interpolating, it's the same if you shoot without zoom and then enlarge the picture on the computer.
For me the camera on the Galaxy Note is pretty capable, better than a compact camera I had 6 years ago.
I don't know who you're responding to with the post of your image sample, but I cannot get anything close to this at the moment. Only in macro mode. The problems is auto focus, it has nothing to do with zoom.
I decided to ask for a replacement or repair from amazon.de and was in luck.
Due to an extended cristmas timeframe in which you can just send it back or get a replacement I just sent mine back and they sent me a new one right away.
The new one is fine now. The camera photos are really good.
Plus, now the screen on this new one is nicely even compared to the slightly uneven display brightness in some areas of the screen (especially on grey color) on my old one.
Also got the latest firmware on it without a problem.
So I'm really happy now
Im sure you guys know in photos you can touch the screen to set your focus point.
Digital zoom will just give you crap results, avoid this and just zoom and crop in editing which will give you a much better image.
Bought it from EE in UK and they will replace it.But i have to wait a couple of days till they get another one in stock.

By distortion you mean the sudden fuzzy blurry parts in every picture sorta around 9-10 if looking at clock and then stuff around it is in focus?
Yeah you've got a misaligned lens there.

Oh yeah I did notice that, it's so subtle that sucks. Wonder if that is an issue with HDR or HDR+ processing screwing up. (software would effect all pixels)
I guess it could be the lens on that edge. Either way I'd get that unit replaced.
