Are they in the same place in every photo you take?
If so it looks like you may have some kind of contaminates on your lens / sensor.
I'd send it back to HTC and they should fix or replace it for you.
If it was a DSLR you could use a Rocket Blower to try and shift them but I don't think it would do much good on the tiny DHD camera

yes they are. i'll send an email to the shop i bought it in and hear what they say about it
Most likely dust on the sensor. Was it like that when you bought the phone?

Usualy dust on the lenses appear as bigger blurred spots. Those sharp edges on the black spots should mean that there is something wrong with the sensor (dust or a faulty sensor). The fact that they appeared at a later stage is truobleing - it could mean that the sensor is not sealed properly. Have you tried to take a picture at a bright light souse (a lamp for example) to see if they are still visible. If they are that should mean sensor failure. Are they visible while taking the shot or while shooting a video?
Anyway, you should take it for repair, they have to do something for that, but if you are rooted, S-OFF and/or have installed custom ROM, be sure to return your phone to stock condition, because they will void your waranty if they see you have done these things to your DHD.

Hi,
Any news about your problem ? I have the same kind of spots on my Galaxy S and would like to know what causes it...

Hi tkolev! Thanks for the precious info. I have a similar problem with my camera. I see a black patch on a fixed position in images as well as videos. Its just there when I turn my camera on.
Here's my thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403912
FYI When i focus it towards a bright light source, it disappears..

The scene is a picture, at night, with a single compact florescent light bulb in the background, which has a warm tint to it, and the object is a black on white bed sheet. This is my second e4gt replacement. In daylight, I don't notice any color artifacts yet. Here's an example of no flash, flash and daylight cloud. Would you return it, hoping for a "perfect" replacement or say to hell with it and keep it? It must be a hardware issue because it does the same thing with FL24 and GB27. I never noticed this from my original, bought brand new, e4gt. The first replacement, the external speaker went out. The second, the camera is making a greenish tinge, always in the center of the picture, in low light but no scene setting. When I go outside at night and put the camera into night mode, I don't notice anything abnormal so far.
Something I just noticed while playing with the settings and modes. If I leave white balance in auto or incandescent, I get the discoloration in the camera. It is less pronounced in camcorder mode. It does it in all resolutions in the camera. If I switch the white balance to florescent, everything balances out, even though it's the wrong shade. It's more orange-ish than what my eyes see. Can anyone test this and see if your original, bought new, phone does this? I tried taking the same picture with a different smartphone, all with auto settings, and it didn't experience this issue. I'm sure it could be that it's because it's a different sensor. Here's my examples.

Try turning on Auto contrast, it fixed some odd discoloration problems for me, might work for you:beer:

My E4GT does not do this, I tried in all different resolutions and settings and everything came out perfectly normal and as it should be. No discoloration or artifacts... I'd wager to say that you should exchange it or return it and get another one. Something is definitely not right about that first picture. Hopefully that helps. Cheers!
Did a little homework and found the camera module is replaceable. I don't remember if I read if the camera's firmware was on the mother board or on the module itself. The post I read had to do with s2's in general. I'll go Monday and see if the service center will order me a new camera module.
My note 3 smn900t has a blur on the frobt facing camera ive always had a case on and there are no scratch or cosmetic damage marks on the camera i removed the case and it stilk occured i thought it might be a software issue so i wiped and reibstalled the rom i use....its stilk there...anyone know what this could be?

The blackened area is the "blur" i am reffering to .
That's a design feature. Just like if you open the built in browser, and close all tabs, you will see the same thing. There's nothing wrong with it.

Is there any way to remove it? ...it shows up on all pictures taken with the front facing camera and its kind of annoying.
I may of misunderstood you. I thought you only saw it when the camera was open, and not in an actual picture. Can you post an actual picture to see exactly what it looks like? Maybe your lens is dirty. Like something is smudged on it?
I double checked the lens is clean and there are no scratch marks or cosmetic damage anywhere on my phone...the picture above is what it looks like
Actually I have seen some people complain about piece of plastic inside a phone moves out of position and partially covers the lens, which does look like what you have. Look close under good light, maybe you can see it? If this is the case, either watch youtube video how to open the phone and DIY, or send it to Samsung for fix. If that's not it, then maybe some internal fault with camera, so again Samsung warranty repair or you could buy replacement camera for something like $10-$15 and replace yourself if warranty is not an option.

Ended up being covered by samsung warranty. Took my n3 into the t mobile store and they replaced it. Got a new n3 now. Thanks for the help.
Hi,
I bought my Nexus 5X in December, and i was using it with the stock software from Google (locked BL, unmodified, unrooted)(6.0.1 MMP29Q) because i didn't have USB C-A cable and everything was fine.
2 Days ago, i got the cable, and i unlocked the bootloader, rooted the device, and flashed a custom rom (namely Cataclysm)(6.0.1 MMP29P), and everything was still fine, but today, i was shooting some pictures with the camera, and i noticed a black dot in the view, i thought it's dust on the lens, and i tried wiping the lens (from the outside) but it didn't work.
I did some research on the issue, and i found out that many Nexus device users have faced the same problem with previous devices (Nexus 4, Nexus 5), and most feedback says that the problem appeared after updating the camera app, or updating the android version, but there's no actual solution to the issue, since most of the users chose to get a replacement phone.
Demo of the problem:

I posted the images in full size to notice that the dot isn't completely black, it's kinda transparent, on the blue wall, you notice that you can still see the pattern of the paint through the dot.
Things i tried
Wiping the lens from the outside
Uninstalling the camera app updates
Changing the resolution of the camera
Installing another camera app (Open Camera)
Unrooting/Flashing Stock Factory Image
Also, when i zoom in the dot goes out of the screen, it moves with the zoom.
Anyone has any idea what could be done apart from sending the phone back to the retailer? because my phone will have to cross countries to get there and come back :|
Probably there is something that stick to the inner sideof lens?

Could be a defect in production. Contact Google about an exchange.

Thanks mate, but i'm keeping that as a last resort (as mentioned in the post, the phone will have to cross countries to be replaced, and that will take a lot of time).
I still have hope in finding a solution, or for a miracle to happen and the dot to disappear suddenly just like it appeared.
and i still have till next December for the warranty to end, so i'll hope a little longer for now

If all else fails you could try to find just the camera flex cable, probably has more attached to it, and either replace it yourself or have someone do that for ya. They aren't too hard to replace but haven't opened this phone up yet.
I had the same thing happen to my N4. Although I couldn't see it, there was some kind of speck on the camera lens. I never did anything about it because it was outside of warranty, and I didn't want to open the phone up.
I returned my first 5x for the same reason, although I couldn't see it on the picture yet. This time, I could physically see the speck of dust just outside of the range of the lens. I didn't want to risk it migrating into view just after the warranty expires.
Most likely, it's coincidence that it happened at the time that you flashed a ROM. If you want to be 100% sure, go back to stock to see if it's still there. The issue that you were referring to that happened to others was more of a black bar, which happened to my N4 if I used the most updated camera app.

I resume this old thread because suddently many stains/spots appeared in my camera viewer.
One afternoon I took many ( around 20) pictures for work on a building site and they are perfect.
The next morning I opened the camera app and I saw this:

I can assure you the phone didn't take any hit, damage or anything else. They just came out like a ghost.
And the strange thing is that day after day the spots are moving and become less dark but more in quantity.
I ordered a new sticker for the back so I'll open the phone and try to clean the lens even it seems perfectly clean from outside and without any scratch

Direct sunlight??? freezer??? please help.
Help pleaseeeeeeeeee
Help pleaseeeeeeeeee
It's a known problem of LCD displays, it can and will fix itself over the time. Please stop being so desperate. LCDs cant be disected and put back together in one piece because of the layer topology and because the LCDs are assembled in a clean room, so a little bit of dust if it enters, then its going to be nasty. Don't be so picky.

Okay sir im sorry im just worried. i replaced my LCD as a whole, as a set. So putting in direct sunlight / freezer for cooling down not advisable?? ill just wait?
Putting it in a freezer is a no no, because it won't help with anything, and putting it in direct sunlight will, if you forget about it, damage the LCD totally. Get an UV light if you are so inclined or simply wait.
"and putting it in direct sunlight will, if you forget about it, damage the LCD totally." i didnt get this part sir.

Do NOT leave it in the sunlight. Just leave it as is and it will go away. Don't try to fix something that is not broken.
