Before the photo is taken everything looks excessively grainy, but it seems that the dual LED's fix that right up. Unfortunately, video looks really bad at night.

It has nothing to do with the Dual LED's. Daytime shots in good light do not trigger the LED's so making statements like that only causes confusion. The grainy aspect is for quicker response times on the screen as you don't need high resolution screen quality to shoot high quality pictures. You just have to make sure it's in focus and what you want to shoot.
Videos looks really bad at night because you are using a PHONE CAMERA and LENS. Turn on the LED's with the Torch APP and light the way for a little better night video shooting.
Heck of a lot better than IPHONE right? No flash = no night time shots.

Have you removed the plastic from the camera? I have some friends who.didn't realize it had a plastic.

Screen quality issues

Anybody else having screen quality issues? First one(left) had a blueish tint and even though color representation is correct on the replacement, it has banding issues that are really noticeable when the backlight is low, so hopefully I have better luck with the 3rd.
Both phones are set to full brightness

I made a similar thread a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295438
Long story short, I returned it, got one that was slightly better (less overall streaks, but one bigger one in the corner) but that overheated constantly. So I swapped that one, and this one is perfect. Not a spot on it, it looks as even as an LCD.

Same here indeed. I see it as more of a grayer color but the banding is very visible, especially in Tapatalk.

Same here, I had some gradient streaks especially in the notification curtain with low light etc....bad display. Returned mine and the new one is perfect. I guess some are just better than others but definitely a defect.

What's your opinion on the camera?

One of the things HTC wanted to highlight about the One family is the camera.
Tell me - what is your opinion on the camera? Good, bad?
I personally think the 5MP camera is pretty decent, but I wanted a better focus on close up images. Not necessarily a macro mode, but the focus on stuff around 2-3 inches away from the camera is pretty bad.
Also, I think the shutter speed is great. The effects are icing on the cake.

It was the camera that made me get this phone. Limited budget, I was going to get a Samsung galaxy ace, but when I saw the quality of this camera I upped my budget by £5 a month. As for close ups, this was about 3 inches from the camera without me having to go into settings. If you want it to focus on a certain spot, just tap it on the screen.

I'm a little biased, because i own a 15 megapixel Kodak. But compared to my old optimus v, this camera is great.

I also had an optimus v. Still do actually, but compared to that thing, the one V actually takes pictures. The still frames during video is probably my favorite feature.

Yes it does. When you record video, there is a camera button on the interface.
Also, when you review the video through the stock gallery, there is a snapshot button for the video in case you missed it live.

Photo Thread - Post your best shots here

I'll be receding my Asus Zenfone Zoom really really soon, so will be doing my usual camera comparison tests but will use this post to upload some photos from this little gem.

Okay first shot using super resolution mode, handheld -

Got a number of other photos here

It's snowing at the moment so that doesn't help in terms of taking lots of photos. More soon though.

Thanks for these shots. Unfortunately it has bad post processing in low light, possibly even day light shots. My G4 has much better quality. I was hoping for this to have a superb camera but to be honest, it doesn't beat the S4 Zoom that I once had (which took superb shots).

Video optimizer on all the time?

Hey all,
I'm liking my Note 7 fine, but I'm not LOVING it, and it comes down to one thing for me: the screen just isn't as vibrant as past phones (Note 5 and S7). It seems that Samsung has dulled it a bit, the colors don't "pop" in that over-saturated way they used to. Playing with the screen modes it seems the Adaptive mode is the most vibrant but even there it's noticeably duller to my eyes. It's by no means a deal-breaker, but it's my one "complaint" at the moment.
Interestingly, activating the video enhancer works wonders - when watching a video! Which is nice... but I want that thing on ALL THE TIME! I actually mentioned this to a Samsung rep in the store the other day and his answer was "well, nobody's complaining about it". Well, nobody BUT ME I guess. And I totally get that some people never liked how artificial the colors used to look on Samsung devices, and it's why the screen modes were always a great thing. I could turn on the mode that made the colors pop while others could leave it off. I just wish I could do that with this phone, but I can't.
I know there's no setting for activating that video enhancer across the board but I'm just throwing it out here in case there's a hack or app or something I'm not aware of... and if not, maybe get some enterprising dev thinking about it For me, it's taking a nearly flawless device and bringing it down just a hair. Not drastically, but a little.
