I just checked my front camera and it displays the picture in dark contrast and its discolored. Im running CM7.0.1.2. Any clues as to how to fix this?
Your camera is broken...you'll either have to live with it/not use it, or unroot, and take it in to sprint.
Thanks. I guess ill be going to the sprint store for a replacement.
Never a problem.
I had the same problem on my old evo, then it got stolen. -_- But it does suck, but you should be good on the replacement.

Ever since a few roms ago my camera started acting funny..
I have checked to make sure there is no crack i the lense.. and to see if it is the ROM.. but it is not..
My camera preview on MIUI and CM7 and KINGS all show the same.. its like the screen is split and changes to pink, magenta.. and then when i take a pic the phone locks up..

Yea ^^^^ he is right that has happened to me before is not a software problem but a hardware issue... you should unroot your phone and take to Sprint and if you have insurance they will replace it but if they ask you if you dropped it tell them no.. just say that you were taking piks or something and you started to get random reboots and your camera started to fail.. I don't knw if their new policy would cover that since people be saying that it has changed but hey it doesn't hurt to try.
Good luck
Push Lightly On The camera
My camera lens fell off and I didn't worry about it for awhile. I noticed the similar thing on mine, and i pushed the camera and the color went away. I did unroot take it to sprint, with the lens and they swapped it out. Now of course my replacement has a bum speaker and dust under the digitizer. ugg....
Hardware... But not camera....
I had the same issue (pink screen/pink pictures). The repair center put in another camera. I watched them do it. They even tried two cameras and the pictures still were pink. So, its hardware related, but its something other than the camer that needs replaces. They gave me a brand new EVO on the spot.
It is a known issue.
Ok, so let me start off by saying that my original Nexus had a burn in problem.
So I called Verizon and ordered a replacement, which I got yesterday, however, the replacement has what seems to be a screen calibration error(def. not hardware). I know I can fix it by rooting it, but I dont feel like going through all that work, nor I dont think its my responsibility to fix it.
Anyway, the issue on my new screen is that it has a blue tint and it is too over saturated in some areas and washed out in others.
So should I send the replacement back for another one?
If its bothering you send it back until you get a good phone. You are keeping it for 2 years. Or you could get a newer phone.
Im really annoyed that I have to write this...I had to get a replacement Galaxy Nexus and when I realized that my original one had a screen burn in problem...the replacement had a really bad blueish/purplish tint to it and so I sent in for a new one...and I got a new replacement that has the exact same issue as the last one.
Im seriously at a loss of what to do, because this is really annoying.
Should I get another replacement? Or is this screen issure normal?(I didnt have this problem on my original)
My friend told me to go down to the store and demand a brand new phone straight out of the box...he said it work for him once.

get the phone replaced again if its blueish purple under 30 percent or so, or try franco's kernel and app and adjust the gamma + contrast down, fixed it for me
I was sent a replacement refurb that had the tint problems, they then sent me a new boxed one which has been fine...
There's a huge conversation about this literally two threads up. Keep exchanging until you get a good one. Be ready for many arguments over the phone, since Verizon and Google refuse to acknowledge that this is a problem.

How were you finally able to get them to give you a brand new one...the guy at the VZW store was hassling me and he said there is nothing he can do about it....then I called Verizon customer support and they told me to call samsung...Samsung told me that I have to send my phone to them for repair...but then I will be without a phone for a week
NONE OF THEM ARE LETTING ME GET A NEW PHONE!
This crap is so annoying.
I guess Im going to try to get one last replacement -_____- since they wont budge on giving me a new phone....the last option I have after that is sending it to Samsung for repair.
I just went to take a picture and noticed this white line across the screen. It appears on the screen and in the photo. It appears in portrait and landscape, camera or camcorder. It only appears when using rear camera, front is fine. I tried changing the camera settings, rebooting, all the basic stuff I could think of. I tried using a camera app from the market and ended up with the same result. I am rooted, but still stock. I did update to MA7 using something I found here at XDA, but I don't recall what it was. The camera was fine after I did it, I did it around a month or so ago.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or know of a fix?
I also would like some advice on what I should do regarding Sprint if I can't fix it. I've had Sprint for 10 years and never took a phone to be repaired or replaced in that time. I was wondering if it would be okay to take the phone to a Sprint store to have it looked at while it is still rooted? If taking it in rooted isn't a good idea, would this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 be a viable option to unroot it to take it in? Lastly, rooted or not, any clue to how much it would cost? I don't have the TEP stuff.
Just found out it is still under warranty with Samsung, so I guess the same questions regarding Sprint I would like to find out about Samsung.
Hi, weeks ago i got a problem with my rear camera, so i send it for repair and they change the camera, but since i got he phone when i launch the camera it say that something is blocking the lens, when i check there is nothing.

Well, considering the situation it looks like they may have done something wrong. Did they repair it or send in a refurb?
