Hey,
So I noticed something interesting with my S7 edge camera. Take a look at these two pictures. The lines are all parallel but the camera warps them and makes them wavey. I tried THREE other brand new S7 edge and 1 S7 phones and they all had this issue.

Can someone else see if this is happening on their phones too? Post pictures please!
It's your eyes. In reality they are straight lines, but your brain makes them wavy.

I kind of noticed the same thing, especially at the top.

The lines are most definitely wavy. Just pull a ruler across the screen and you will see how the lines are no actually straight. As for why? I'm not sure but it's probably due to the nature of the lens. It's not very noticeable in every day use though.
Could be a flaw , but also an illusion
Tell you a funny store from the goood old days
At rolls royce in england they had old craftsmenn doing the welding job on manufacturing the grill on the rolls
they were the only ones that could make them so they lokked straight elgeangt lines ,, but.. take a ruler and they are bend so ever slightly to avoid your eyes seeing them as out of line ( your lens in the eye is curved too )
Guys,
I've taken multiple photos. These are only a few. I have tested with 5 devices total. Put a straight edge up to the image and you will see that they are distorted. The distortion is static - always distorts the same way in the same place for each image.
Can anyone else test and post pictures?
Thanks!
You can clearly see there's some barreling distortion near the top of the pic but there's another type of distortion in the middle, the level is flat, dont worry about the bubble.
Plastic f1.7 lens! Even my expensive L glass has some barreling, especially wide open, but I can correct for that in my DSLR body. I think that as smartphone lenses get faster, this will become more apparent.

Even in the middle? I can understand some barreling on the outside.
Definitely visible here with both the sony and samsung sensors.

It's barrel distortion, you can fix this during post processing, should not matter unless you use your phone on architecture stuff.
Anyone every find a camera lens profile for this?

There is a shape-correction or distortion connection setting that may fix this. AFAIK it was affecting only selfies on s6, but this one also does sth to rear cam.
I have the same issue on my S7.
Look at the white strips. Should be straight.
Sh**ty camera.

There's a shape correction option in the camera settings, turn it on.
I know it. It doesn't work.
the exact same problem with my s6 rear camera
Guys same exact problem for me, I can confirm you it not only affects s7 but also s6 since mine is an s6 non edge. Just waves all over the horizontal axis of the image, almost embarrassing, and this should be supposed to be among the best smartphone cameras? really?? and no reviewer noticed that??? Incredible, a real shame....

I can actually say I haven't been able to take 1 clear picture with flash. Is there something wrong with my phone? I have a fairly steady hand, I used to be a DSLR photographer and never had any problems. What gives to this? here are some examples, not even a moving object. These pictures are taken stabilized on my knee

R.I.P., Left Shift key.
As a rule, indoor pictures with the Evo are just poor quality. Outside, they're crystal clear, but even with the flash, when you're inside the camera is adjusting the exposure to the ambient light, which means grainy, blurry pics. There are some tweaks you can do to minimize this (white balance, exposure defaults, etc.) but in general it's just not that great.
Same with video: If you're inside, the camcorder drops down to, like, 8-10fps capture. Outside it does much better. It's all about the ambient lighting.
the lighting looks bad, and plus you gotta click in the pic to focus it and then hold down the shutter button untill you see your pic, thats the only way i can take pics
Look closely and see if your lens cover is cracked.

Why would that matter?
Check out this article, it is a good demonstration of how the lens (or in this case, lens cover) really has a very minimal effect - if any - on image quality.

Are you using the netarchy kernel? I have had similar issues with photos using flash with fresh and the netarchy kernel. Switching back to stock fixed it for me.

Because mine is cracked and it true focusing on the crack, rather than the subject.

i cant beleive, or i missed, no one pointing this out.
you are friggin shaking in the picture dude.
no picture will look good when there is movement.
but i side with you, my camera compared to my wifes camera is garbage.
my wifes takes consistantly better video and stills than mine does.
mine will show the camera focusing and all it does is focus near then far, then stops, it never stops on the right focus point, you can see where it focuses right on past it.
if there was a hack to allow a slider for focus that would be kick ass.
after some time and practice it would be easy to use the slider for focus.
but my shots such ass, big time.
if i Zoom in it will focus much better than if it isnt.
so i am not sure where the focus point is compared to where you place your finger but it isnt where you place your finger thats for sure.
It sounds like a problem my phone seemed to have in the beginning; it would focus and then stop auto focus a little blurry. I don't know what fixed it, but after I had the phone a few weeks, the issue seemed to go away. Now I can take pretty clear and amazingly focused photos.
As for the iPhone troll, I ignored him as I was on a website viewing some flash content on my phone just after I got done with a video conference on 3G . I then made a phone call and held the phone with both hands without dropping the call.

Just wondering why you would post on the Evo forum only to say that the iPhone is better, especially when it's really subjective to say that. You must admit, that is rather troll-ish.

You do know that the camera tech is almost identical? Only thing that is changing the "quality" of the pictures/video is software + compression.
Another typical oblivious iPhone user...
So I, like many others, am looking to buy a nexus 4 for Christmas. The lack of LTE means nothing to me as I'm in the UK and can't afford it anyway, so it seems like a pretty sweet deal, however one thing is bothering me...
Many reviews have shown that the back glass can crack relatively easily, and while usually I wouldn't call this a deal breaker, I had a horrible realisation. The nexus 4 is designed in such a way that the back glass acts seamlessly as the cameras lens cover, so if the back cracks, there is a fair chance that the crack could go right down the middle of the camera. Furthermore, like the nexus 7, the back cover actually has components on it, so it may not be a cheap or easy replacement.
I would hate to have my camera ruined because of a poor design choice. So has anyone seen anything around that may reassure me? Is the lens cover a separate piece of glass and it just looks continuous? Or does this seem like a real issue?
The strange seamless camera cover looks cool but may turn out to be a problem.
Good point here.. I really hate putting covers on my phones but in this case... I think I should..
The phone is fairly large as it is, a case just to avoid the camera cracking because of poor design is really disheartening for me
I see what you mean. They should've put a rim around the camera lens separating the two, as they did for the flash...

I wouldn't worry - that glass isnt the camera lens, its a bit of glass *above* the lens. The lens is the little round thing you see underneath.
It a crack goes straight through the middle of it, it would make minimal, if any, difference to photos, except maybe some loss of light gathering.
Wouldn't be the lens that cracks, only the lens front element. In photography in general, front elements can be quite beat up without producing any visible clues what so ever on the resulting images. Check out this web page: kurtmunger.com/dirty_lens_articleid35.html

Apologies I should have made the thread title clearer, I meant the lens cover.
Nice to know it shouldn't make too much difference. I guess if the crack is thick enough to make a difference then I'd probably get a replacement under insurance anyway.

Thanks for the link! Again as with above I should change the title, I didn't mean the lens I meant the cover. I didn't realise it makes such little difference though. Thanks
I was thinking of a similar issue for the screen. I read somewhere that the glass and the digitizer in this phone aren't two different layer on the actual pixels, but one. Thats make the screen more vivid as the pixels are closer to the glass.
So if we crack the gorilla glass, automatically the touch screen will be unusable. Am I right?

that's exactly what happened with the verge's review nexus - in the video they say the back cracked after a fall, and the crack is very close to the camera, pic here: linky
in this case the camera was not affected but the rim of the flash probably makes that area of the glass weaker.
Just don't drop it, I guess

I'd have thought they would for the Nexus 7 to be honest but that hasn't happened yet. At least not easily. But yeah, if it does become a problem hopefully there will be enough pressure for them to start manufacturing and selling replacements.
Didn't even notice that. Reinforces my thoughts of getting a good case.
Any phone can be smashed, that's what's insurance is for.
FYI, the reason they have the rim around the flash is so that it doesn't cause the "flashback" problem and interfere with your pictures. If you've had an iPhone and didn't have a case with the larger camera/flash cutout or the black ring around the inside of the cutout, you know what I'm talking about. The flash can actually wash out pictures. The rim around the flash on the Nexus 4 solves this problem by isolating the flash from the camera lens.

I guess that HTC went with the "if something isn't broken don't fix it" moto, cuz the only major improvement is the camera.
Another leaked video from Upleaks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGvnyii8xlc
I think it's a fake... Look at the M9 when the guy is taking the photo to the girl: the phone has got a thick black stripe under the screen, while the one over the screen is very thin. Now watch the rest of the video: the upper strip is bigger, while the other is thinner... Oh cm on! And sorry for my bad english
Also these advertisements are really bad made... I'm not really sure they are true!
Really hope this isn't the m9. The black bar is just awful.
ho my god
it s an M8 again :crying::crying::crying:
I really dont get why all negativity, the M8's design is great and better than the competition in every part of the build. So why would HTC Change what yes ain't broken, the Camera is meh on the M8, so its now been improved, the performance if the M8 is anything to go by will be fantastic. There will be other things I'm sure that will change that mindset.
I honestly wasn't expecting huge changes in design and that's cool with me. I would safely assume the M10 or whatever the 2016 model may be will have that change.
I'm sure you'll all be happy when you purchase
I'm a bit disappointed in HTC, banging on the internet doors that they are bringing new things to MWC, just to show us a refresh/fix of the M8 (Yeah I know they will bring more stuff).
They better be calling it the HTC one 8.5 or something, because this isn't a number change worth.
I still think the M7 is a better looking phone then the M8, just because of the radius on the corners, and because the bottom and top speaker have the same width.
what a disappointment
Its not that bad lol I didn't mind how the m8 design was.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
I'm not convinced this is the final version of the m9. With the leaks in the past few years, it's possible HTC is creating their own leaks to generate buzz. Regardless, I still love my m8 and am getting the m9 when my tax money arrives.?
I agree. I'm not sure it is real. Look at the poor editing, the screen images are not correctly aligned with the phones edges. Not the professional video I'd expect from HTC.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys but shown is known to do this, they are restricted and prohibited to release or leak the actual images of the up and coming mobile phones, it would defeat the purpose if unveiling it at the MWC.
Look what they did with last year's Galaxy s5
They thru everyone off on purpose to think Samsung had finally ditched the home button....
But no..
Right after the unveiling they quickly replaced the image with the accurate one. After all, all they really need are he sizes and the shape of the device, the font doesn't matter, it could look like mickey mouse and all they talk need to do is show off the case... the front has nothing to do with the case, the front camera or speakers have nothing to do with the case.... Nothing...

Hmm.... they didn't put attention to detail in this one. Check out the differences..
Well, what might actually be the case here is the picture on the left (the camera app) is actually taking the photo, the picture on the right is viewing the photo in the gallery app so the space on the top which would be the supposed bezel would simply be extra space as the picture isn't full screen.
Take that with a grain of salt, because that whole commercial doesn't really feel that 'professionally done'. It could just be graininess but when watching the screen you can almost tell that some cgi work was done on it.
Based on the this link from amazon the black bar with the HTC logo is gone
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen®-MET...TF8&qid=1424885797&sr=8-2&keywords=htc+one+m9
if it is true, is a good step forward!
LOL i don't think thats the phone, and well spotted with the difference, the smile and no smile on the phone screen, fail
Get real guys that's the M9,not saying there won't be a ultra version also but that's the M9

We're talking about the photo being different. The photo they zoom in on has obviously been retouched and was not taken with the M9 straight out of the camera.
I think maybe the clear plastic on the camera was effecting my pictures. Well I hope so. LoL. It's not easy getting off especially the flash one. I did it carefully because I didn't want to scratch them. I guess if your pictures are fine then you can leave them on but damn Samsung you should put tabs on them so it's easy to take off. I would think all S6 Edges come like that. Mine is from T-Mobile. Darn you can't see it. I'll post a bigger picture.

Good call, i have always known about the stickers and remove them for customers usually (i sell phones for a living) but i didnt notice the flash one! gotta check it out now, thanks!
Thanks!!! I hadn't even noticed them.
Can you guys see in the sky what I'm talking about? If so do you think I might be right about the picture protector being the issue? Guess I should take more pictures now but stupid rain all week. Lol. Just want to find out if I have a issue with my camera.
A girl with nails might help getting the stickers off. LoL. I think I just lightly put my finger on the corner of the bottom of the flash and moved slightly up. I then noticed that it was on. I wonder if it's on my Note 4. LoL
The first thing I did is taking them off with the plastic cover of the phone
Thanks for the headsup + :good:
I"ll be damn, I missed those also, thanks.
I used a piece of strong packing tape to get them off. Just touched and pulled. Much easier than trying to get your fingernail in there and risking a scratch.
This makes no difference to the camera picture quality whatsoever. Tested this so many times on my

You can still scratch the lens regardless if it's on or not. Having a $700+ phone I've very careful with it. Plus a case could help raise it a tad so the camera isn't flush.

why is that?is it better to just use the default brpwser?
Heh, I was so annoyed with this that I even took it off the demo unit at my local BestBuy when I was playing with it. First thing I did when I took mine out of the box.
Each to their own
Funny how so many of these youtube tech reviewers forget to remove it.
By the way I took them off but they don't have effect on the picture quality as the lens over only covers the edges not the lens itself as u can see so it doesn't matter u keep it or take it off

Hello everyone!
About a week ago I noticed a very unpleasant issue on my Galaxy S7 Edge. There is a major light leakage at the place where curved part of the display meets with the body. It is clearly seen when you're in the dark environment. It is extremely annoying, and looks like you've ripped off the display and placed it back gently. It doesn't affect waterpoofness though. I went through various shops and checked other phones. This issue was present on them also. Shop consultants were very surprised when I showed them this. Do you guys have the same problem? If you haven't heard about this yet, please check, and reply. Pictures show the issue I'm experiencing.
Mine and my wife phone's have same issue.
It's not leakage it's total internal reflection from the cover glass.
This is due to the curved surface acting like a fiber optic cable. There's no real way to stop this from happening. Notice how the edge is brighter where you have bright rows of icons or search bars. They all come out horizontally out from the side like this.
Just checked, and yup, it's the same thing here. Funny how I haven't noticed it until I read it here. I hate you. Nah, it's no big deal, but I'm not sure what to call it. There's really no gap there, and the distance between the edge of the screen and that "gap" is so so tiny that I can't see how the could've made it completely perfect? I guess the only way of not having this issue is to have a unibody construction?
I only notice it when the brightness is cranked up to max in a dark-ish room btw.
Edit: Yup, so I can't see it in a dark room with auto brightness enabled. I can however see it if I crank the brightness to max, but what mad man would use a screen at max brightness at night??

Edit: Yup, so I can't see it in a dark room with auto brightness enabled. I can however see it if I crank the brightness to max, but what mad man would use a screen at max brightness at night??

Sorry man, I just wanted to make sure I'm not alone with this issue. It looks like it's normal, so not much to worry about.
I have owned 3 s7 edges all with same thing only reason I noticed was when I was getting dust build up in the gap. I have since accepted it. I'm just not putting it in water. For those who think it's a fault try sliding a single sheet of paper between it and if u look closely enough you can see the connecters around the buttons. I have been reassured many times by other users and Samsung on this that it's normal even if I think it's not.

You mean it is totally normal?

It's not only normal it's dictated by the laws of physics, you can't get rid of it, and it has nothing to do with the gap.

Hah, that was a joke. It doesn't bother me, but it's just so typical that someone mentions something, and then I notice that I do have that issue! It's like a buddy mentioning "Hey, am I the only one seeing our reflections in the TV?" Yooou son of a bi.... lol.

Yeah, seriously, the Edge is built with many many different parts, and there's not even a tiny chance that it won't have a "gap" or five. It's still water resistant though, and it's most likely just some glue in the "gap" that we're seeing. Photons are like... tiny, man, so yeah, 'nuff said.

Photons, how do they work?
TL;DR: It's normal.
