Black lines on the camera? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if any one else has experienced this problem where occasionally black lines appear across the screen on the camera? Seems like a battery problem to me.. any ideas?
*You can see it the most just after I take a picture

I couldnt see any black lines in the video

Watch it again maybe it was hard to see if you're viewing the video from a phone because of the orientation on YouTube

Compare these 2 screenshots taken with a half a second gap in between( look at the edges of the screen)
Only seems to do it on the Samsung camera app, I downloaded jb camera from playstore and no problems there but the camera sucks in comparison

That looks remarkably like Interlacing. Using a US model, by any chance?
It's probably just the software re-rendering the live view.

It's the European model I bought it within the UK no one else seems to be having the same problem, it totally ruins video capturing as it shows on the videos :/

And it doesn't happen on other camera apps? That's peculiar.
Have you tried emptying the data and cache of the camera app? Cleared the phone cache? Factory reset?

All of the above, plus do you have any pending software updates available to you? Does it do it everywhere you go? I thought I had a problem with my N2 camera once, but it was actually the florescent lighting in the room.

Omg i just cleared the data/cache in applications manager and then started the camera up again and it's perfect no sign of any more black lines /flickering!
Don't understand how but it worked thanks!

I see the lines in the original video! Can I ask what did you use to take that video of the screen? I'm still waiting on the AT&T version, but as soon as it gets in, I'll be looking for that issue as well. The Camera app is probably the most important to me.

Flash LED fluctuations

My flash led fluctuates when I take a photo or use it as a flashlight. Anyone else facing the same issue?
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Not for me...tried both camera and flashlight.
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
Yeah I experience this also when I'm recording video while the flash is on.. But it works well when I'm using this on my flashlight app..
I've had the issue before.... I thought I was seeing things cuz of the quick flickerings
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
Yes I have it too.
I haven't taken any videos with flash but the flashlight does it, sometimes it's steady but I notice it half of the time.
Gosh. Too many problems. I wouldn't have spend this much for a defective phone. I'm disappointed.
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
Every LED flash does this. There's nothing wrong.
I think you didn't understand. It flickers while using the flashlight or while it's in use. I know that while taking a photo it will flash once for autofocus. I'm not referring to that.

Well clearly, thats not normal. Return it....

It is normal. The LED flash for every phone I've used does the exact same thing, jittering and flickering a little bit when keeping the flash on like when using it as a flashlight. My X10 did the same thing, but it's only slight flickering, nothing major. 100% normal, they aren't meant to be kept on for any large amount of time.
Mine does the same thing if I leave the flashlight on for more than 30 seconds
Sent from my R800
Hahah mine does the same thing but I suppose it was never supposed to be a flashlight.
I was thinking it was something to do with the quick succession flash it is supposed to deliver normally.

Go to Settings\Accessability and disable talk back or something similar. This features are for disabled people, dunno how you enabled it by mistake.

that's the proximity sensor, which you can't see with your naked eye but you can film it.

Display of black weird

Anybody an idea whether this is a display damage? Black appears not normal.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Black crush
Well,this is called 'black crush' or 'black clipping'. It is still there a little bit,but nothing serious. The first Note was horrible... Don't worry,nothing is wrong with the phone,it is a software issue,and (I think) it will be fixed soon.
Im very confused as it really distorts the display of the black.
In the settings the search field has a deep Black. Rest is more or less grey.
In the toggle menu the bottom bar has weird stripes.
It's not just a small issue. ...

You posted screen shots. No one can tell anything from those you need to take a picture of the problem using a camera. The phone's been out for over a month now. If what's happening to you were wide spread I assure you it would have been brought up (numerous times) by now. If whatever you're seeing was like that out of the box (before you loaded any apps) it's probably a h/w problem with your specific device.
I have the same issue too on my Note 3!
I'm from Singapore here.
I didn't notice that the pictures appear perfectly normal on other displays.
I did some shots with a camera.

That isn't normal - I'd you are running a custom ROM I'd take back to stock to see if the issue persists, and send it back if it does.

Mine too. Isn't that supposed to be the way the display looks? Just kidding.
A display that looks like this isn't normal and if there were a lot of them people would be going nuts.
It's either something s/w related that's fried the graphics drivers or a h/w problem unique to specific phones. If it remains after a hard reset than it's h/w and the phone needs to be exchanged.
Tried the hardware reset but didn't change anything. Bad luck this time.....

That is really something wrong.
It suppose no strip at telco area.
Beside search bar, the rest bottom part is suppose black also not grey.
I believe your screen is defective.
I've factory-rested and it's the same.
Re-installing exactly the same J1 firmware (in Singapore it's the latest) via Odin also yeilds same result.
Another friend of mine is facing the same issue.
However, the ambience at the Samsung stores are so bright, and it's hard for the customer service officers to see
Well I'll see what Samsung After service Germany will say... the point is that the screen looks ok if you test the blue, green, red and black screen test under *#0*#. But during normal use I'm faced with the problems as shown above
I'll keep you updated.

Ya i guess will do that, but a little later. Phone works fine otherwise and honestly i don't even think i will use any of this features, maybe wait for a few months and then get a new one in exchange
It won't work in dark environment, you need to be in good light.

ah right, yeah i tried that dont see much of a difference, would the camera MOD help?
It would depend on which Mod. I always suggest making a Nanroid and then try flashing several Camera mods till you find on what works to your liking.

The camera is rather annoying on this device.
Camera MODs will improve the camera; It focuses faster, removes the "lag" in the viewfinder and massively improves the AI mode. Unfortunately, the "painted" effect is still there when you zoom in but it does make a noticeable difference.
Shame, because the camera is the only thing letting this device down.
Here's the mod that I applied - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548974
I couldn't get any of the files to work but the dev recently posted this test version which worked for me - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48688463&postcount=703
