Hi all,
S I downloaded another firmware update from Samsung apps - with date 11.06.2011.. Updated the camera and pink spot is gone, not even visible. My camera firmware is - OCEF 02 OCEED 11.. I had KE2 when i bought phone, updated via odin to KE7. Before this update i downloaded and installed all other updates that samsung apps offer..
Samsung made it!!
I downloaded the cam update from Samsung Apps today, my phone shows:
Cam FW Ver: OCEF02
Phone FW Ver: TBEC28
Pink spot still present. Posted pic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14965006&postcount=190
Guys, its mostly because of the hardware.. but possible software issue too.
try to clean the lense of your camera.
I noticed, that I sometimes had a big pink spot and most times nothing at all.
And after I cleaned it very good, it was gone most of the time, but for some reason not allways.. really strange, but it helped alot to clean the cam lense!
try it and post, if it helped!
hmm, thats strange.. I also had photos like you.. Are you on KE7? I installed one previouse update, i think it was something like firmware OC.. But i dindt install previouse camera samsung firmware 2 update or something like that..
I can see now clearly that phone is managing the white balance totally differnt than when pink spot was present..

It's 100% a software problem but there are different cams out there so not all might be affected. To workaround and prove it's software just change the white balance to anything other than auto and the pink spot will be gone.

Yeah, i know, would be nice though if cam would be usable with auto balance though Hopefully sooner or later there will be an update to fix that. Does your camera make 2 slight sounds when opening it and when switching to video mode ?
now you say it it used to but not anymore since i am on kf1
edit: it's back

cool, didn't know that about the white balance.
I was really wondering about this pink spot issue.
The pink spot is part a hardware issue anyway, because the camlense glass (the one that protects the cam) is little bit of lila/pink if you look at it from different angles.

Sorry to disagree, but it can't be hardware as cam works perfectly if you don't use auto white balance mode. Pink spot appears only when you take photos of white things indoors with no flashlight or other source of light.
I even got the pink spot on my front cam, so it's got to be a software issue
The Samsung apps app said i have an update for my camera , the date is 22/06/11 , today, so i am currently flashing it i hope it does not kill my camera
Ok, maybe.. but check out the cam glass i talked about above.
It's a little lila/purple right ?

don't know, can't check really nor if the firmware update fixed the pink spot, it's too dark
Depends on how the light reflects in the glass, now in my room with my light on i see it green, other times looks like a rainbow of colors.
Well the flash went OK, but i will not be able to test it till tomorrow as the pink spot appears to show up in daylight, I saw it against my white refrigerator
I don't know if this is a new update or not, as the Samsung apps app is still saying that there is still a update for my camera
The camera firmware update 11.6.01 went on fine. Not sure about the pink spot yet but have noticed when zoomed into a picture through the gallery you can now scroll left and right to the next picture without having to zoom out again. Is this new, if so it is much better.
There is still no mute shutter sound option though :-(

Check your cam firmware version, if it's OCEF02 you have the latest update installed.
Do you guys notice with the latest camera firmware (SCEF02) when filming the framerate drops massively when focusing?
Just check it`s OCEF02

KF2 doesn't have any shutter sounds if you flash it. I just downloaded the camera update but battery is too low to test it, will keep an eye on any differences.

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.

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 you all,
I would like to ask: almost everybody has this pink spot on camera. Could someone confirm that KE7 upgrade solves this problem? or KF1 ? or how to get rid of it without always changing white balance, auto contrast etc?
Thanks
nope, got pink spots on both my front and rearcam on ke7and kf1 (latest cam firmware)
So where about`s is this pink spot , does the photo need to be dark or lite to see it or what?
you will only notice on white backgrounds such as ceilings in the light.
I can see it now , I have had enough of this phone it`s going back

This is the best camera on a mobile phone I have ever seen and the pink spot is barely noticeably and most likely just a bug not a hardware problem (since both my cameras are affected)
It's an Android bug, we have it too on DHD and N1
don't see it on my desire (running 2.3.3 w/ sense)
what pink spot?? I dont see it when using camera..
EDIT: crap..i do have a pink spot..damn!!! I was feeling good for a minute

Ive got KE7 and both the camera firmware upgrades, and testing indoors and outdoors, in great lighting conditions and bad ones, I do not have a pink red or any other colour dot or area on my photo's.
I have very good eyesight and spotted this on my HTC desire, but it is not present on my SGS 2. Photo's and video's on it are absolutely spot on.
I'm on O2 Galaxy S2 unlocked.
You only get the pink spot if you set the white balance to automatic, so if you are bothered with it change it in the camera dropdown menu

well for some this upgrade dint do anything,,,while for others it almost cured the problem.....it only appears while taking pictures indoors...
go to scene mode and select indoor while taking indoor pics,,,,hope this works for u..
Godspeed.
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?

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.
Hi XDA,
I just bought my Xperia Z2 yesterday and i went to the batch numbers topic and checked for Issues reported by people there. Fortunatelly i dinot have any issues but today i noticed the front camera quality was very poor. There is a Yellowish reddish tint that appears on the front camera however the back cover is fine. The picture is like thousand of small dots flicker on the screen and if i keep it very close to my face then i can notice it. If I click the Picture the picture seems to be completely fine.
Can any one of you please check and let me know if you are also facing this kind of Issue?

Yes the finished picture is fine but while taking the picture it has a lot of noise. I have checked it with service center guys and they have called me tomorrow to update my firmware to see if issue is resolved otherwise they would replace the phone.However, talking to few people here in XDA it seems that noise issue is there with Sony camera and if the finished picture is fine it is not much of an Issue. So, I am thinking to get the software updated to latest build and then dont take replacement and keep using it.
What is the batch number of your phone ? Mine is 14w19

Yes I agree. The video has hell lot of noise. But the picture comes out clear. I took the phone to service center and they reflashed the firmware and issue was still there. He told me he can replace the phone for me, but i refused as this is only the problem and i dont want to get a newphone which is of a different batch and has hell lot of other Issues.
Yeah, I've had this problem since I got the phone. I made a thread a couple weeks ago about it being an issue. I'm not updated to the current software, but I didn't think it would help, lol.
And it is very important to me as I'm a SnapChat whore in every meaning of the word, and, for some reason, the final image when taken in SnapChat is NOT made better as if it were taken with the Camera app.
I also have a 14w19, and I see what you mean. I don't mind so much as I don't use the front camera a whole lot (only with SnapChat, and the video quality isn't always the nest there anyway). I'm not bothered.
I'm bothered that for $700, the hardware and perhaps software in this case is so obviously flawed. I mean they really advertised the hell out of their camera prowess. But the front camera looks like the whole screen is dipped in sand.
It is clearly a software issue and I think it dosnt matter what batch you have, mine is 14W18 and in with really low light I have this issue but if there is some light left there is no problem at all and also the back camera did not have any kind of this issue in my case.
I'm sure that it's a software issue. Why else would the picture be correct after actually taking it with the built-in Camera app?

It's hard to tell what you mean exactly here. Are you saying the display on the screen has small dots on it or the picture it takes is not good.
is this something that comes across in a video chat or not as in the other person sees the same as well.
Can you post a screen shot so we understand better what you mean ?

Actually i wont be able to post a screenshot of it. I am talking about the front camera, when you start it the preview window that we see it is full of noise and it seems as if it has sand all over it. But the final picture is fine.

I have this too (and I suspect everyone does)
The front camera is quite simply not very good. The reason the captured image comes out slightly differently is most probably because it's a longer exposure (than realtime preview) and there's also some noise reduction in the post processing)
Hello,
So I've been keeping this to myself for awhile since I don't really use the camera on my phone that often, but it's starting to annoy the living hell out of me so here I am.
My i9301Is camera sucks. Specifically, the autofocus. It barely ever works. On the rare occasion that I want to take a photo, I am greeted by a a blurry viewfinder and I have to touch literally everywhere on the screen to find the green square, and even then I usually can't get the camera to focus on anything. This usually happens when the object is at a distance of 1 meter or further (macros are generally fine). Light conditions don't matter, it's always the same. Should I turn my phone in for repairs, or is every s3 neo like this?
Oh, it's the same on both stock and cm. Also tried several camera apps.
tl/dr: Focusing on the camera is iffy. Halp plz?
To clarify, I did drop my phone a few times so that might have something to do with it. Rest of the phone seems ok though.

Update: I noticed that this problem mostly occurs when I'm trying to take a photo of something that is on or near objects that have some fine detail on them, like the tiles and plants in these photos I took today. Objects on smooth surfaces usually turn out fine, but not always.

Sure thing, however I'm unfortunately abroad on vacation at the moment. I'll take my phone to the Samsung service center when I go back, mid-September. I'll keep you posted.
