I noticed this especily when theres no much light. This is only part of taken picture. With room light, flash...
Also on display, when I wanna take pics those stripes show, dancing going up and down if you know what i mean.
Is this normal for HTC desire camera? I know that quality is not like on real camera offcourse.

I very rarely use the flash, even at night as it's only of any real use on fairly close-up facial images in poor light, and even then it's far from great. I find that a bit of messing around with the settings I can get great pictures in low light conditions.
The best thing that you can do is set the cameras 10 second countdown and sit the phone somewhere in a suitable position to capture the photo. If I'm unable to do this then I'll hold the camera but rest it on a balcony or wall. It's near impossible to get a good shot in low light without doing the above.
Thanks for reply.
I just wanna know if those pinkish lines that showing on display when taking pics are normal? When wanna take pic (doesnt have nothing with flash) on display i see moving lines, espacialy on dark places?
Know that quality of camera isn't great..
Mine doesn't seem to suffer that from what I've seen.
Try cleaning the lenscover. It's not normal really. Could be the CRT's updatefrequency but I doubt it.
I cleaned lenscover, even take pictures without cover. And problem stays.
On bright day , you can't see those lines, maybe it's to much light for them appear.
But when its dark, they shows.
I noticed that those pinkish lines dance more on bottom of the screen , where is mic for talking, and buttons.
Its probably something to do with the kernel. I had something like this when I used Insertcoin Sense 2.1 & 3.0 hybrid.

What you mean about kernel?

I didn't do anything to the phone, i bought it this way, so i don't know if anything was installed.
Is it fixable? And how?
If need any more information, im here
Okay, looks like you are using the stock rom and kernel that came with the phone so I don't really know why you would get this kind of problem. To tell you honestly the first thing I did when I got my phone was root it and flash a custom rom so I never really knew how the stock camera performs under low light conditions.
I do however experience this when I used custom Sense roms before.
I bought this phone of seller who sad that he didn't do anything to the phone. And then i found out this
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-off
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

It's not rooted (don't see superuser icon?, i think thats how you know it's rooted )
Maybe this have something with camera??
It does say S-OFF so maybe you should reflash the stock RUU just to be sure. You never know what the last user did with it.
But you have to flash downgrader before you flash RUU, because you use one of alpharev's r2 hboots (probably CM7r2) and these ones have an overwrite protection against RUU and OTA.
I had this problem when I flashed a ROM with Sense
As soon as I flashed the CM7, I had no more problems with the camera.
I had this problem when my Desire was stock. I broke the screen and had it replaced. The tech damaged the flex cable when he was replacing the screen which resulted in the funny lines and other camera issues and screen hangs. Luckily another tech seen it when I returned and it was replaced again.
I'd say your trouble is hardware related.

Thanks for answers.
So you think is fixable that way?
But unfortunatly I can't do downgrade, and flash RUU, because my computer restarts sometime (something to do with motherboard), so I'll have to wait to get other computer for about month and then try do downgrade.
I'm afraid that will restart in middle of process, and brick phone or something. If phone can be broke that way???? If not I'll do downgrade right away..

I don't have any other problem with display. As i read, you have?
Only when I start camera it show those moving lines, on taken picture when there is light you almost can't notice them.

Yes but only when using the camera. Lines, image off centre weird colours and sometimes just freezing when running any camera app.
It could be software related bit I thought I'd share what my problem was in case it was useful.

Hey, have you checked the ISO on the camera settings? Very high ISO can cause that problem...try Auto or 100.
Yes i tried to change ISO settings. Problem stays.
I also found out when sometime i take close up photo with flash, i don't see those lines, photo is clean...

i have gotten two black dots on every picture i take with the camera, and they are getting very annoying! does someone know why they are there or how i can remove them?

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

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 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..
Hey all,
I'm new to the forum. Did a search for this but did not get any hits.
I had an issue with one corner of my screen perpetually displaying a yellow tint while using the main camera that also translated onto the actual pictures.
Didnt see this on the front camera. So I assumed this is a one of hardware issue.
The dealer had the phone replaced 2 days after I bought it with a new piece (Part of their 7 Days - No questions asked guarantee). So far the issue hasn't surfaced.
I've tweeted HTC, but haven't got a response yet. Here is a pic with the tint in the top right corner - pic.twitter.com/epsvQRlP
Has anyone experienced the same issue. I know I've already got a replacement but in case this crops up again. I just wanted to make sure that this is a hardware fault.
Awaiting your thoughts / experiences.
Cheers.
well the yellow tints appeared on mine after 3 days of use. I replaced it with a new one. Thats all i can say, Some other people faced the same issue but told me that they waited for another week and the tints seemed to dissapear after some days.
Can you post a photo indicating the issue?

Compare the top right corner near the couch and curtains to the bottom left. The room was evenly lit.
I had yellow tint when I used the flash, but this only happened withthe flash returned and got a replacement still yellow not as bad but had gps probs so replaced that on 3rd started off yellow with flash but now when I wait for the metering to settle down seems to be ok so seems third time lucky for me

Lets hope the second times a charm for me. And if there is a recurrence, it happens before the 7 days are up....
I'm interested to know what the experience was like from someone who had the issue go away after a couple of days. It kinda sounds like a break-in period for the camera sensor (similar to buysing a new car).... Has it completely vanished after repeated use ?
Can you take a picture of pure white background e.g. like wall, sky?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
need a couple of pictures to see the problem! one picture doesnt help
My newest one x has this problem, any improvement with the latest ota?
I only see a yellow tint with shots taken indoors. Outside they are just fine.
My One X got the yellow problem when using the led flash. Comparing to my old desire, the flash in one X is more yellowish. It may be able to be rectified through software updates, setting the correct white balance for the LED flash. Hope HTC will solve that through the next update
try camera options, image adjustments, saturation set on -1
got the yellow **** when shooting with flash me too... without flash the pic looks ok, but when flash is on, skin become yellow, very ugly
I think your problem is linked to the white balance which is ****ed up.
I take some screenshots of the camera app phone with different white balance option like bellow:
The photos is taken without flash in front of my wall which is normally white.
Only the auto option is OK for me, the other options shows my wall yellowish or blueish.
I don't know if it is caused by the Eternity's kernel in my phone, have you have the same issues ?
Edit: No I didn't painted my wall in yellow or blue
same problem for me ... when I use flash it shows yellow photo ...I asked in service station but they say this phone is not to take pics in dark.. not ready to change phone.
Ok, I took some pictures outside and I can conclude the white balance option should be used at outdoor condition.
There are a few differences on the white which can be colder or warmer between the photos but not as strong as the screenshots above.

Hi, I posted this issue at this thread but Im having doubts now if my HOX is experiencing the same problems with those in the thread
My problem is also no display, but I have a crude fix, that is to drop the phone from about waist high and then the display works for the entire night or so..Last night I "fixed" it by dropping the phone, now I get home from work, no display again, so again I dropped from waist high and now it works..Yes it may be a coincidence but earlier I tried pressing to wake it up to no avail..Now that I dropped it, display lights up again
Here is my phone's situtation ( I posted this yesterday)
1. Phone is rooted, installed AOSP 4.2.2
2. I broke the screen last February and had it replaced (the center said its genuine HTC screen which they ordered from their contact from HTC, I've no way to check though but the quality is as good as the old one so no complaints there)
3. About a month ago, screen wont diplay when I unlock/wake..its just black but it can receive messages, play music etc..I can even answer calls (blind swipe of the screen to answer)
4. I gave up, and bought a new phone as I dont want to spend another S$200 bucks or so to repair it (initial screen replacement cost me S$240).But, out of curiosity, I booted it up last month (charged it to retrieve some pictures) and the display showed. The next morning, again it wont turn off.. As I have it encased in an otterbox commuter, I decided, WTH just do drop tests see if the otterbox was really able to protect.
After a few drops, I decided to wake the screen..And yes again it worked LOL
Now this on and off thing happens a lot..sometimes I'm able to wake it sometimes not (after a long period of the display being off)..
Just now, it wont turn on again, and again I dropped it face down (for the lulz) and the screen turned on again
here it is now, charging

If it is a shock turning your display back on you likely have an intermittent electrical connection inside the phone. Rotating the phone is likely breaking this connection aswell.
Return for repair.
same thing here
same trouble here! cant figure out what causing it.... i might buy new lcd from ebay in august to try it, if it doesnt help, then return it back to seller. want to return it to life! as this is great phone! have got new SGS4 for 3 weeks now... i cant justify that ist alot better device! same as HTC one... BTW SGS4 13mp camera sux as well... lol... no image stabilizer, and these 13mp turns to 2mp or worse when low light, slightly higher ISO gives so much noise that u dont want to zoom in taken images... also HTC One's camera has alot more wide angle lens!! compared to my friends HTC one vs my SGS4.
cheers

Yes I have auto rotate off for that reason.
And upon further ivestigation, its dropping the phone, even at knee height, that fixes it. Do you guys think its still motherboard related or is it likely a loose connection inside that may be easier to fix?
Good morning,
in a german forum android-hilfe.de there is a thread with pictures taken by a lime z1c with led light - all of the pictures have a yellow shine.
For me this looks like an hardware issues on ALL the z1c devices of the first charges but maybe in the black one the problem is not easy to see.
What do you guys think about that?
Here is the link to the thread with the pictures in first post:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/sony-xp...ei-der-verarbeitung-kamera-bilder-inside.html
Could the be a major issue of this brand new device?
GSMArena complained about some issues with their review model. My white one doesn't have any of these issues, seems fine to me

It is a hardware issue. The problem is the back of the device. It reflects the flash light which then hits the camera lens.
I can create pictures under the same conditions with my Xperia T - but I don't get that fog-effect.

Huh.. Seems that I was wrong. Took some automatic "sky at night" pictures - the pictures were blueish. Then I changed into Manual mode and got nice black pics. Seems the reflection is not really strong, but superior mode creates a superior reflection ._.

I don't expect full quality pictures at night, but you can definitely see that this is a hardware related problem (reflective back) - this is not what I expected from a 500€ phone. (I still like it, but I hate the fact that the camera fails so badly)

This is not the point. Even a weak LED flash must not (!!) mess up the pictures taken.
at least, Sony seems to be aware of the problem now. I'm curious how this will work out. Still thinking of a software related problem. (e.g. better controlling of the LED might help, like changing the time between shutter and light etc.)

Can confirm this issue on mine, though I think its impact is exaggerated. The only normal situation (i.e. not covering the flash with your finger) where you see the issue is on long range dark shots, on which you shouldn't really be using the flash anyway
Edit: took a few example shots.. (ignore the overall quality, didnt bother focusing properly)

And for completeness sake, flash covered with finger: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6953585/DSC_0051.JPG (should stress that my finger is not visible over the lens in the viewfinder, the colour here is purely reflection)

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:

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?

But the phone wasn't opened, and it wasn't there before, where could it come from?

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.
