Explain
The iris (inner most center) is not in the with the outer circle.
Mine is the same way, I'm not real worried about it. Seems to take pictures well.
Geez... it bothering me..
Holy crap, I didn't notice it until you said something! Now I want to throw my phone away. J/K about the throwing away part, but I really didn't notice that until you started this thread.
They probably couldn't fit the camera module perfectly centered on the main board but figured they could fudge it by centering the housing without too many noticing. Little did they know you'd be buying one! (Ha ha, J/K again...)
haha... coz my S2 is perfectly centered...
Need to buy another one... or spend the money to cure my OCD...hahah
If the pictures you take look good and not off-center, I guess you shouldn't worry about it.
No, it is towards the right side of the circle. It is not centered with the outer circle. I believe this is part of their design (perhaps some technical reason too)
Mine is also more on the right side...?
Any thoughts WHY they do it technically ?
Thanks
Guys, not to worry, this is just a minor parallax viewing problem.
Center your eyes, you should see the camera lens centered now..
I was looking at a demonstration Note on display yesterday, and I thought the lens didn't look quite right. Now I know.
It took fabulous photos though!
is this a joke thread. mine is exact center.

you're not looking hard... I checked 3 units today but all of them have varying off ctr..from .1mm at the best...
so I cant replace mine since all of them are same
mine is centered (lens).
the outer part is not, in fact, it's not even secured as it moves around but never actually blocking the lens, so the camera works fine.
Looking at other camera...Galaxy Tabs etc.. most of them are not exactly centered..
I dont know why I making so much puss on this...hehehe
Really need to fix my OCD..
Mine is centred to the right. Damn, it's going in the bin now!!

Yup, mine's the same. Nothing serious though, as it's not noticeable and I also can feel it if I move my finger around that edge.
i noticed that too, mine is too at the top left corner of the screen
but i think its normal / tolerable

Actually i did return 4 phones already, dead pixel, loose back cover ( tried a different one same thing so exchanged), next one light leak on screen edge, and another one with what appeared to be dust under screen or underneeth the protector. Dont think i want to go trhough all this again and get another faulty one, like someone said all devices have some imperfections its just to get somthing that you can live with, i think this is not so bad esspecially if most Arcs have it.

Same here. .. just noticed anyway. .. not so evident but true. ..
Great. I'd never noticed that before and now it's going to bug me! :-S
Sent from my LT15i (with a slightly raised screen) using XDA App
Yeah, I had two Arcs, both had the same problem. Everyone told me their screen was completely flush so I exchanged the first. I googled a bit and didn't find a single picture of the Arc were the corner is not raised, so I guess most Arcs are like this.
Mine was flush, but now the top sticks up a couple of mm. My finger keeps getting caught on the screen protector.
this maybe a really silly reason, but i think it maybe due to the 3.5mm keadphone jack present there and they didnt design it properly???
Yeah, I guess it could not be glued properly with the jack beneath it. It's a very nice looking phone, but they definitely had to cut some corners because of the design...
Has anyone noticed that the is a few small black lives it something when the screen is dark. I've noticed this on two different devices already.

Or exchange it...it is very common on GS2's and Galaxy Nexus...I've seen people post, they bought a Nexus from Google and they have gone through like 5 getting one that doesn't have the dark blotch problem. Some GS3's have it too, mainly international versions. If you got a bad one, take it back...run LCD Test and show it to them, they have to exchange it.
It's something with the glue not drying inside the digitizer/glass assembly
one of the reason why I have not bought a galaxy s3. I don't want to play the exchange game.

Oh crap.. i was thinking of exchanging my unit because it came from factory with a small hairline nick/scratch on the area above the line sensor. Everything else is mint except this part and it annoys the hell out of me. However, I don't have any small black marks nor blotches on my screen. I just tested with LCD Test and it is perfect. Now I don't know if I should exchange it now for risk of getting a bad lcd :/
Would you guys exchange it if you were in my position?

You have to use lcd test on black with maximum brightness, you have to be in nearly complete dark, and you have to let your eyes adjust to darkness. Otherwise, you won't see them. Even the capacitive key lights are bright enough to wipe them out.
It's really a nonissue, unless your phone is defective. Some people's phones are really defective, and they are even able to take photographs of those.
Normally, there's no way to see them in any real world use.

Afternoon all,
So yeah I'm loving this phone greatly, but I've noticed something horrible for a phone so well made.
If anyway else owns one can you please check if your headset has a tiny gap ( Im really do mean tiny gap) between the front metal casing and
the cream looking plastic band around the phone. So were the headjack and on switch is . . . .
I noticed it last night and if I press the back and front together the gap closes.
After speaking to P4U they said no one else has rang in with such problem and they said they would exchange it wen more arrive in stock.
I ended up going in store were I discover they ave one there but is a pre ordered handset. The guy did open it up and checked both handsets.
They new one did also have a tiny gap but not as bad?
Bit shocked as I havent really used the phone alot as Im still using my S3 till I pay my contract off.
Anyone else got this?7
Cheers
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I have read somewhere 2 weeks ago it is a problem for some demo set. But seems it existing on retail phone now. Also I heard iphone5 has such problem but people think it acceptable.
So maybe other users can give their view.
And you would better to have a clear photo upload others can judge.

Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I got mine today, have looked but not used the phone yet. On both the top and bottom, I can squeeze and a hairline gap will come together, but I don't think this is a problem really. It is negligible and it probably won't have any impact at all, the phone still seems premium and solid in the hand, and it is not like they advertise it as being waterproof or anything in which case this would be an issue.

If that was my phone I would send it back but that's just me.... hope mine is ok when I get home later on.
This gap may be engineered to provide for thermal expansion differences between glass and aluminum
Definitely looks like a defect to me. Lint, dust, water etc could all get in there very easily and cause problems down the line. I'd get it replaced.

My mates htc one had zero gap all the way around.
Yeah I maybe abit paranoid on this matter. After seeing the other newly opened htc one and seeing that also had a little gap then I though maybe
its just the way its made. I will see hopefully thursday if more come into stock.
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
If I'm looking at the same thing is u on top of the phone theres a very very small gap between the metal casing and plastic filler.
Can't see I'm bothered about a gap of 0.25mm though. I don't think I'd ever want a replacement.

I can definitely confirm such behavior in my One X, it expands a little from heat
but by design? i don't know, HTC promised zero gap didn't they?
Thread title is misleading: please change it.
I just noticed when taking a picture with a beige background that I have a sort of smudge looking spot.
I cleaned of the lens area and visually it is spotless. There aren't any scratches either.
Is this a defect or does everyone else see this as well?
See the attached picture. The smudge is in the left.
I never noticed it before as it's faint enough to not show up against darker backgrounds.
I definately do not have something like that, so most likely faulty camera, the best way would be to exchange the phone.

It just looks like they might of had a spec of dust or something go in when they put the phone together. I would take it back and ask for a replacement, if they argue saying they dont see it then complain. If not and they are being fuddy duddies, either do it yourself (if you know what you are doing) or water damage it and send it off for insurance (I know, I know, not a good thing to do) but... if they are incapable of being decent, then you have to do what you have to do.
Good luck. I love my photography, and that would get on my tits. lol

Iv got exactly the same issue with my camera. It looks identical to yours but I have it in the top left corner. Not sure if it's worth exchanging for a new one just because it might be branded and SIM locked this time.

Well when I take a picture in portrait mode like yours is, they're actually pretty close in position. Mine appears more in the top center than yours does though.
The first picture was landscape.

The 6T just arrived yesterday, it felt really good 'cause I was coming from the ages old OnePlus One.
And boom! I had this feeling that the camera on my phone is misplaced. Both rear cameras are not in the centre, they're a bit above the centre.
Could anyone please help here? I just got one friend out here who has a 6T and comparing the two I do see some difference.
Should I care about this misplacement? I'll get a replacement if I report it within 10 days so yeah, do tell me if anyone knows about this and if I should really care and report it or is it not a big deal and just fine. The phone is perfect - those cameras work perfectly, I tested them individually by the tests in *#808# and both work.
Attaching some images of my phone and also one that I found on the internet (which I feel has the same issue?).
I've marked the cam in yellow and the asymmetrical hollow space around it in green.
(It's the 256GB model by the way)
isnt that what OIS does?
the camera moves inside its aperture
i thought it was by design
Quick visual assessment of my device appears the bottom camera is up a tiny bit and top is down a little. If I get a chance I'll throw my phone on the metrology imaging device at work and verify if my eyes are playing tricks on me. Regardless I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.
Checked mine they are very close to centered as you can see in the picture. The dots in the center of the circle represent the center of each circle. Probably hard to see though.

At first glance I thought you were probably seeing things but after looking at your pics it does seem pretty clear that the camera units are not 'properly' centered in the frame...
It's really up to you as to whether you want to RMA for a replacement. I had to replace mine for different reasons and am glad I did but if they are functioning properly, as you say they are, I might just not bother with replacement.... Definitely weird situation though.

If not, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Ah, yes. I know that the 16MP camera above the flash does move 'cause of OIS but I've seen the top one exactly centred on other phones. Looking more precisely, I saw that the rest position of both the cameras is a bit above the centre (of course both, because they're mounted on one board).

There's absolutely no change in the image quality. The cameras are not broken or anything, just misplaced.

I showed it to multiple local repairers and all of them suggested to not go for replacement if I had to use the phone for important things, back then. I spent a lot of time testing both the cameras at the back thoroughly and they had no problem at all. I didn't do anything! I did not get it replaced. I can still see my cameras are misplaced but there's no issue at all. Top class photos and videos, used a lot.
So I can close this with : If you're concerned about your camera's positioning, go get your device replaced. If you're concerned about it's functioning, don't. They're 100% fine. :good:
