So what is your question or is this just a statement?
From what I feel before and after this update, white balance issue seems to be fixed, photos taken isn't too warm anymore.

I hope this update for the S20 plus 5g exynos will arrive also this week...
I have a simlock free German device.

It was a statement officer.
I can see more improvement to autofocus, less over sharpening effect, better image quality when zooming.
One bad thing I noticed regarding stabilization magnets. They seem not to hold the sensor when using the phone. Lens makes a lot more noise [rattling] even though I'm not using the camera. Very annoying.
Not sure if it's a defect on my unit or something that this update caused.
I'll try to shoot a short video in a different thread about the issue.
new firmware already released in China ATD1 with more improvements
waiting for it in EU.

That was noticed by a number of people as soon as the phone was launched, it's annoying to have that rattle if you shake the phone but it seems standard and not a fault.

Yes totally aware about the rattling noise due to IOS. But after the update it seems louder than before. Is it due to the zoom improvement via firmware? Not sure.
In any case I think it should be easy to develop a tiny app to activate the magnets at all time (same as when opening the camera app). Might drain the battery a bit but that rattling is very annoying. I'm ok to trade 5% of battery drain to suppress the noise.
Those of you who got the ATCT fimrware update on exynos, can you try something out?
Pls take a pic of a white wall, indoor, dim indoor lighting, using night mode. Does it come out darker than it is or looks normal?

its not a defect. dont send back the phone, its obvious now its jsut how the camera is. I dont really care that much (in fact i dont care at all) because im not a big camera person and when I do take a picture with my phone im not going to expect studio quality anyway.

Released a hot fix since they said it was a software issue...
Seems now it's not
HD2 issue: http://www.gsmarena.com/a_hardware_fault_causes_htc_hd2_*pink*_camera_issues_confirmed-news-1276.php
Try turning off auto white balance.
No change.
lol i just noticed on engadget review, in the photos they took with the nexus one they have the same pink tint towards the middle
so everyone's nexus is having this issue?
So the N1 has pink eye?
I haven't received mine yet...we'll see here shortly...

The hot fix fixed my HD2, i took several photos of white walls and it had completely gone but it was VERY clear before the fix.
Mine does it as well
Someone tell Google and HTC, lol... No seriously..do it.
I just submitted a support ticket to google. I suggest you guys do the same. I linked this thread in the ticket.

Good man.. I'll do the same when I get my phone, lol...
it seems like a low light issue, not as noticeable with bright lighting.
Could just be the camera straining the ISO to a point where it makes the colors get weird. hopefully they can hot fix it

My HD2 did it in bright light, but the hotfix removed the issue.
Do you guys experience the same ? Pictures are not sharp, colors are mixed up.
only in darker rooms. outside with sun pictures are looking quite well.
look here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/29/htc-trophy-review/
Horrible quality.
As usual with HTC... always these "orange-pink blurry" images.
Nothing compared to the great Omnia 7 camera unfortunately.
Quality is indeed very bad:
Here's a picture taken with my Trophy:
http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/8599/wp000050.jpg
You can cleary see the pink/orange circle in the middle.
I hope they put a better camera in this when it comes across the pond to the us. I don't care about mp I want better quality
Yeah camera quality is quite awful. subpar when outside and when inside it's just horrible.
On another note are any of you noticing the 'GSM radio' sounds on video files you've recorded with the device?

i was in quite cloudy conditions and photos still looked good. i think it's just night shots or dark places that it falls over.

Too much noise. They are OK for a low budget phone, but I don't think that the Trophy is low budget (at least I payed more than 200€!)
Thanks for sharing
I'am having the same issue, only outside with clear weather it makes nice pictures. Also the flashlight is horrible, if you try to make a picture of a person it will always look away from the camera
I'm thinking of getting a trophy but I'm really put off by this pinky orange circle issue - does everybody experience this? Is it a hardware issue or could it be fixed by a future update?
Cheers
I have the red colorisation in the centre of the image also, not too fussed as I never use the phone to take pictures I use my Canon D450, if its that important that you need to use the camera for images then you can fix them images in Lightroom.
I got my HTC 7 trophy (australian stock) and think the camera is outstanding. Definitely the best non-iPhone camera phone I've used. Don't understand what all the fuss is about, really.
I have one and the camera is like my old htc p3600 in outsides when I use the flash the quality of the photo is bad with too much noise and blur.
I hope it is a software poblem and MS correct that in a future version!
Hy 4 all!
I have CM6.1 with Froyo on my Legend and I use the built-in camera app. My photos are always blurry and like so they were taken in a foggy, cloudy place. I have tried to increase the ISO, Deblur, decrease the lightness, increase the sharpness and etc... but nothing has helped. I think the LED flash is too strong. I dont know what more can I do. Has somebody else this problem? Is there a solution?
Thank you forwards!
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Unfortunately, the camera sensor on Legend has it's limitation, if you do care the quality of photo you shot, you better carry a DC or a DSLR to solve this problem.
Yes, the flash is way to strong and built too close to the lens I think. The only thing this cam is good for is well lit day time shots. The flash will destroy any picture if used.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
The flash is good as a flashliht though...I couldn't live without that...
I'm using Stock-like ROM with the original app and the quality is just bad too...
I don't find the Legend too bad, though I've never owned a really good camera so that might be why. I'm happy with the quality tbh, I used the app Vignette with the quality set to 'superfine'.

Well, yes, it can do a good picture while taking shot on a sunny day, although the shot is too light and unbalanced...Also the quality is good because of the resize - look at it in original an you will be surprised
Oh, come on, boys and girls.
What do you expect from a lens as big as a pinhead, a focal distance of maybe 4 mm and 5 mm sensor behind it?
It's good for a snapshot but you woulnd't want your wedding picture being taken with that.
Yeah, I use both Legend and Samsung Fascinate, the Fascinate's camera is much much much better, and flashlight mode is really good. I believe I can take wedding photos with my Fascinate. HTC's camera is never close to "good", always causes pink area on the photo.
Actually none of HTC's phone produce good quality pictures. NONE. I find the quality is acceptable for a phone. If you want the picture perfect quality then I don't think phones will cut it. It is good enough for my use though.
I'm using Note 4 Duos N9106W. Its camera is not perfect but ok.
Here the problem of my friends. Some of them face this problem with N910C model. How about you?
Condition: daylight and indoor!

It is well known problem of Samsungs, starting from Galaxy S II if I remember correctly.
It is hardware issue, difficult to remove due to lens build.
I've been in Sonoma this week for a wedding. I've taken over 250 pictures in every possible lighting condition. I've been nothing but impressed with the camera. Really low light isn't great but it's better than other Samsung phones. Low light can still get you some impressive results.
Macro shots are impressive too.
I'm sorry you're having an issue but it's definitely not universal.
It is visible in plain scene mostly, maybe you can't see such effect. Conditions must be met ^^

I'll check the next time I find the need to shoot a white wall in a dimly lit room. I don't participate in threads that require replicating conditions I'll never or rarely face to create a problem. It's kind of a 'If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound'? thing. If I'm not in the forest I don't care.

Hi,
Is there anyone who saw image overflow of bright areas like this before?

Hi, the inside camera in my new S6 Edge+ from UAE (G928C) is misaligned Well it looks like it. I have attached a picture for your opinions. Is this a defect? So far after taking 3 or 4 pictures the quality is good as expected.

Yup. Same here.
Same here. Maybe its intentional? Either way my pics come out great so no worries....
we all have that. relax
The camera has hardware image stabilization in such the lens is supposed to be free moving. If you shake the phone you can hear it rattle. Start the camera app again and shake it, rattle is gone. This is due to a floating design that can move the lens to counter your movement so motion blur is reduced and is especially noticeable in lower light conditions when shutter speeds grow longer.

You are absolutely right. One can try shaking the camera in selfi posture and notice that camera hole alignment changes with phone positioning.
