Pink glow in camera pictures on gingerbread - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I'm using Android Revolution HD 5.1.3 which is based on the gingerbread update from htc.
Someone noticed a pink glow in middle of the pictures and I'm seeing this as well (no I'm not high).
Anyone having this problem too on ARH and/or on stock rom?

I have this pink veil in the center of the image only if I am shooting something plain white like a wall, when shooting anything with colors it wont!
Also I found that playing with white balance can increase or decrease the pink thingy
So it looks like a HTC lens problem (hardware)

I have the that bug too . But in pictures it's gone ?! Lol

This is known to be present in many HTC cameras. Stock firmwares with HTC camera apps usually don't have this issue (i'm not 100% sure).
I had it in my WinMo HD2 (there was a hotfix), my Google Nexus One, and also on my girlfriend's Desire HD.
When shooting an even white object, a pink circular gradient appears in the center of the picture. I think one would need some photoshop or other post processing to remove this gradient.

I think you said that you downgraded your rom and are having camera issues. Are you sure you flashed a rom for the correct phone? I would try to flash the latest rooted stock rom and see if that solves the issues. If not, I would try to flash an RUU to see if that solves the problem.
It isn't spam if Ur asking a q anyways try gently pushing on the lens I I heRd that works cause the camera coma loose

[Q] Bad quality pictures and wallpapers CM7

I have a problem with quality of several pictures and wallpapers on my HTC Wildfire. Picture is fine and smooth for about 1-2s then it sharpens and become grainy, pixelized and generally speaking bad quality.
Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop. There are several white pixels. I was trying to use quick pick as well as stock gallery viewer and some other what i cant remember - still with no satisfying effect. On stock htc sense it was all perfect and smooth. I have found one matching topic on my local android forum and one on some english language - still no answer.
If anyone had simillar problem and solved it i am begging for reply it is very annoying. The worst is that picture is perfect before it will fully load (like i said 1-2 sec.) so it can be viewed perfectly. Is there any option to turn rendering/sharpening/or any other photo corecting effect in CM7?
HTC Wildfire
Android: 2.3.7
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1. BUZZ Stable
Kernell: 2.6.35.14-nFinity
best regards
Kuba
Try using a different gallery (e.g QuickPic) and wiping the camera with a piece of cloth.
"Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop."
I agree with you on this one man. The quality seems to degrade when pic set as wallpaper.
I am going to check out custom-sense rom (either WildPuzzle or DK Custom ROM). Probably this might solve our problem.
Plus i am facing a few other problems like laggy status bar, laggy animations. Hopefully the two aforementioned ROMs will give a better experience.

And about wiping the camera it is not the issue of taken pictures only also when i upload some photos to my phone.

Yes it might be only way i didn't try... I like CM7 anyway so i thought here i will find the solution.

Known Bugs & Issues

Hey guys
A lot of you seem to have little issues with the HTC One X so I decided to make a thread where we can gather all those issues to find out if you are alone or not. Which is important to know if the problem is related to your specific device or rather some software issue.
Bugs
Screen stops turning orientation, even in settings menu G-sensor no longer moves. - POSSIBLE FIX : Go to taskmanager and kill all tasks - All credit and thanks go to casca
Calendar widget crashes if more then 20 appointments - TIP : Just remove the widget since it will keep crashing until you remove it...
Other HTC widgets seem to be causing lag too.
GPU Rendering can't be forced.
Live wallpaper stops on switching between screens
GPS issues - Possible fix : Download gps status on the market and clear the a-gps data - if this works all credit and thanks go to matmar
Screen starts "jumping"
When browsing/camera/other Sense 4.0 related tasks -> It looks like there is "noise" on the screen. Like this
SIM card stops working/restarts/no connection
The three dot menu button appears in some ICS native apps, like the YouTube app for example. - Fix for this in Dev section (requires unlock)
Tegra 3 games (and some others) lag, this is probably connect to some video driver bug. (Hardware is fast enouf to play it without lag)
Screen reactivating after using the lock-button (only 1 click ofc)
When opening the Clock app (just by pressing the clock on your homescreen), and moving to the Timer-tab (the one on the far right) it always adds one hour, one minute and one second to whatever time you set it to.
Issues
Lag in Multi-Tasking window and other elements - TIP : Go to Dev Settings - disable animations. This improved the speed a lot for me (even thou most animations keep on running, only the excessive ones get turned off) [This lag is clearly a software issue, other launchers are lag-free; should be fixed soon]
A lot of people are reporting signal problems. (No clue what's causing it)
Yellow spots on the screen
Always try to Factory Reset your device if you have a problem. Most of the time this fixes it. (Last resort)
Post your bugs and issues and if they get posted frequently I'll add them to the list.
Note to people who are planning on buying an HTC One X :
The device is still a great piece of technology, every software has bugs in it at the start! Don't get dissapointed because there are some minor glitches in the software, most of them will be fixed within 7 days from now (Update).
Live wallpaper stops on switching between screens
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Can't turn on GPU 2D Rendering.
Can't turn on Animation once unchecked.
heating issues..? over heating of device, turning off sim/phone services after certain temperature, not letting charge, etc... many guys complained about this.. very sad...
When i use the power button to turn off the screen it occasionaly turns on to the lockscreen after 0.5 seconds; Not always, normally when the screen was on for a longer time.
Glitches all over the place...
backlight not stable on light grey picture. (With my device i noticed it when i searched a grey pic on google, and zoomed in, the backlight flickered 1 second to "settle" after that it was good). On full birghtness i didn't had the probleme.
I am not satisfied with that phone.
It is not fast and laggy sometimes.
Multitasking button is not responding a lot.
When open some apps with black background, the resolution of the black color background sucks and shows blurry lines. It appears when adding gmail account.
I tried talking Tom and i found that it is working slower than in sensation and lags a lot.
I hate sense and i like to see AOSP Rom soon.

I'm glad I didn't buy this phone yet. Every day that goes by, I want this phone less and less seriously. I think I'm gonna wait for the Galaxy SIII. I'm sure I won't be disappointed with it. I refuse to spend money on a high end phone to see many glitches and lag at launch, even if it is fixable with ROMs and kernels, you shouldn't have to do that . Come one HTC

HTC better not play any silly games with these OTA and keep pushing the date back, this dire battery life isn't fit for purpose right now.

Yes you have be be glad because u didn't buy it.
Sense 4.0 really looks ugly except the clock and it also consumes the battery life.
The dialer also looks very bad.
Why does HTC love this old green color over the awesome blue one released as default by google?
I hear what you guys are saying. The only issue i've seen that really concerns me is this glitching i keep reading about. Although I did see a review from netbooknews.de that had this issue with noticeable lag in the multitasking button and screen taps.
I would love to say that you don't have to worry about it but the reality is that you probably won't see a fix till CM9 is released or some other AOSP build.

Instead of slating it immediately, how about trying to use it as stock/unrooted, like the way you received it. Your sig says you've already rooted and flashed a different ROM - how do you know it's not the alternative ROM giving the grief.

Sadly this isn't the problem in most of the cases. Until now only Sense 3.0 costum roms are available, the issue is however that all this roms are BASED on the stock rom (because devs don't have acces to scource code of Sense 3.0).
A lot of issues you experience in the costum roms are caused by bugs in the code of Sense. But this isn't always the case ofcourse! Let's hope HTC fixes them soon.
I agree that this phone isn't as snappy as I had hoped, its much the same as running sense 4.0 on my sensation.
That said, I got the DHD on release, and there were plenty of bugs, same with the sensation.
In the end, the hardware is top notch, the software will get sorted over time. It's the price we pay for being early adopters of a new model.

I lol'd... Well just go buy your sgs3 or whatever then. Why did you choose this fone? Had you not experienced sense 4.0 in your previous fone? Maybe you hadn't rooted that one, who knows. Or maybe, just like my wife, your not happy unless you got somethin to ***** about.

Amen to the above.
One more thing: the annoying menu button also appears on some native ICS apps, like the YouTube app...

Original JB 4.1 and HOX green pictures?

Hey all,
i have a little problem since the world wide update for 4.1 JB - when i take pictures the flash causes the picture to become green! i know its a problem with Custom roms but mine is an original update from the server. the pictures looks like it was taken at the Matrix..haha
well its nice for effects but for real its annoying...how do i get rid of it??
BTW uploaded a pic when i tried to snap shot the cover for a friend of mine
thank you!
Another one confirming same problem as i have, and i have seen people with HOX+ also having this.
Problem seemse to be KERNEL related. ICS works great on my phone with flash but when i load any version of JB Sense i get greenish images like yours.
This is a REAL PROBLEM but apperantly no-one is noticing it besides me and some isolated users. Either people dont notice ( how can you not?) or they dont use flash that often.
I realy hope the .27 build fixes this. If i get official JB and this problem persists i realy hope HTC gets around fixing this.
Btw. this seems to be a problem with handsets all the time, small problems but still something in particular HTC have a issue with.
I can confirm this is NOT a HARDWARE issue, changing kernels fixes it so it has to do with post processing - a B/W image looks just right but with the green boosted up way to much.
Try change sarturation to max/min aswell as iso 100/800.
tnx for your answer!
its obviously not HARDWARE problem, because the regular pics goes perfect!
i tried it all - non worked its still the same...
i guess ill be waiting for a new update to come or maybe go rogue and install an unofficial ROM...
the same Something with software.
thats not fun \=
well i have posted a new question for help on HTC main Facebook page, and showed them this thread i hope we all get final answers for that itchy bug :cyclops:
Same problem
I have the same problem with stock JB...
It's software and to do with the flash bleeding, on SLR you get a florescent filter but try this.
Go take picture again this time press the cog and go to white balance, change that from auto to florescent.
Let me know if that works, I can't get mine to do it to test.

Aosp camera exposure problem?

Hello, I've been trying aosp roms for a little while now (I hate touch wiz so much =.= but the camera keeps me here). Anyways, I'm having an issue with all the aosp roms i've tried. My camera can't change the exposure levels, even manually. So I can't take any pictures of slightly dark places =( without using the ugly flash lol.
Places where it's visible with human eyes and touch wiz camera is 100% pitch black on AOSP camera.
Is this a common problem? If so... do you guys just flash everything

+1 to this. I've noticed the same thing thought I was going crazy. I've just been flashing everything. I did notice that tapping the screen to auto focus before snapping the pic works a little bit to brighten the pic up
