camera pics come out green since froyo

Hey
I am using the rooted standard froyo and since i upgraded to it im noticing that any photos i take with the flash ON come out green. very very green. If it take the photo without the flash its fine. Ive tested this in several different places under several different light sources and the pic always comes out green when i have the flash on. I terms of settings, i can confirm brightness, contrast, sharpness and saturation are all set to 0, and effect is set to none. White bal and ISO = auto and all the rest of the settings are also default i beleive
Does anyone know why this is happening? It makes my camera unusable :s

Do you use a rooted or stock ROM? For this rooted Rom there is a fix in the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775

I experienced this issue *once* before the Froyo update with the video recorder: half of the video ended up bright green. It happened one time after the update as well, but with the regular camera. No idea why, bizarre behavior

This is hilarious.
Somewhere in Japan, An HTC developer has won 10,000 Yen from his colleagues for this.

[Q] Touch screen acting weird

When I press on the very bottom of the screen (edge of the glass), it acts as a click to about 1/3 the way up the screen. This is annoying by its self (and doesn't seem ROM related) but also my screen sometimes locks up, with a point at about 1/3 the way up the screen, and horizontally in the middle, and I can't do anything until I lock the screen and leave it off for a second. More recently, but related to this issue, the keyboard when typing hasn't been accurate. I've tried to type 'a' but got caps or 'q' instead, and I get letters I didn't press.
This is not ROM related, as it started happening on CM6 about a week ago, and I've flashed Ava V9, Myn's 2.2, FrEaKy Evo, and CM6, and I have tried stock kernels, and Kings. It seems to lock up more when plugged in also. I've been watching the forums and I haven't seen anyone else post about this, is it just me? It seems very hardware related, but if there is a fix for it that someone knows about, please let me know.
If I get around to it I might take a video of what I'm talking about, but probably only if it's requested.
I'm currently running Myn's Two-Point-Two with King's CFS #11 and am still getting the issues. I've rebooted, and wiped cache/dalvik, flashed new roms, reflashed, nothing.

I am having the exact problem, except that the spot that keeps getting phantom clicks is at the very top of the screen, so the drop down bar starts freaking out. I downloaded the program 'dotty' and it is showing that a touch is being registered in the expect spot, so I'm pretty sure it is just an issue with the screen hardware. I want to take it to a sprint store and see if they can replace just the screen instead of getting a brand new phone because I have so much stuff downloaded on it and I don't want to lose data/settings.
It happens a lot, but then I will have days at a time that it stops happening...its just very strange.
Its good to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Currently running rooted stock froyo. unrevoked forever. Original June 7th release device.

same here...was happening witht he W/q as well...but when your viewing a white page you can see a light on the screen brighter than the rest...

W/q? what are you talking about there?
also the light bright spot is completely unrelated: evo developing a light spot in middle of screen
Screen burn possibly due to overclock
Bright spot in the lower right of screen

I downloaded dotty, and it's saying my spot is at:
X: 159.6
Y: 363.5
and P which I'm assuming is the size of the area being touched at .937.
I tested P and it does seem to be how big of an area you're touching but the biggest that I could get using my thumb was only .235, so it's a huge area and constantly in the same spot. Some times it gives me two points or one a bit up and to the left.

Is anyone having issue with the screen (horizontal lines) since 4.2 / 4.2.1?

Since i've did a flash from yakju to takju 4.2 (and got ota to 4.2.1) i've started to have annoying horizontal lines on my screen.
I'm pretty sure this was not there before. Also, turning on screen take from 1-5 seconds after i press the power button. It's only been less than a week since my last full wipe....cache is clear....
I'm also having the well known random reboot from time to time (on gnex and on N7).
Compass seems to have calibration issue (i'm far from electro magnetic fields and did the "8" loop to reset it)....
Anyone having my screen issue? Anyone know a fix?
I remember on my old Galaxy S 1 having screen issue on a custom Rom because there was a bug with the custom kernel. SO COULD THE STOCK KERNEL FROM GOOGLE 4.2.1 AND 4.2 HAVE A BUG THAT IS CAUSING LINES ON SCREEN?
ps: those lines are not white or colored, it's more like brightness+ /brightness - they are small (they vary from 1 to 3 pixel wide and goes from left to right). From far you can't see them but if you look closer you see them. They are not visible on screenshot. They don't move

Nope just the kind you said you weren't having.
Colored flashing lines (seems to be green, mostly) 1-3 pixels from top to bottom going all the way across the screen. Had it happen on I believe 3 custom 4.2/4.2.1 ROMs as I have a toro, so nothing official.
It's why I am back on 4.1.2

Weird screen dimming on bright screens

So in the last few days I've noticed something strange. Anytime I have a bright image like a white screen or the sepia or white backgrounds in Kindle, the entire screen dims and brightens randomly. Its an extremely small change, but it is noticeable. I don't have content adaptive brightness or auto brightness active, so I know its not that. I tried different bright levels and get the same result. If the screen is a dark image, like dark mode on Tapatalk, I can't see any flicker whatsoever. I have tried a clean install of PA 3.57 with AK SKL 256, and its still the same. It also doesn't seem to matter if I just picked the phone up or have been using it a while.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what's happening? Should I start looking for a new phone cause mine is dying, or is this normal somehow and I just never noticed, or could it even be an app specific thing?
Thanks for any help!!
PS: I just saw it flickering minutes ago on Kindle and Chrome (imdb website which has LOTS of white) but right now typing this post on Tapatalk I don't see any flicker, and as most of you know that's a white background.

I too have noticed this when using my phone on minimum brightness. I used since the last 21 days PA ROM, always the latest and AK SKL 256. I noticed it on websites with alot white on the screen. I do have content adaptive brightness enabled, and auto brightness disabled.
And please, just keep your phone till it's dead Mabey everyone has this but no1 has ever noticed this untill just now

So it seems to be getting worse. Now pretty much as soon as I open a white screen it starts flickering and seems to be dimming darker as well. I've been using PA, what are the odds its a ROM issue? Nobody else has reported it but I think I'm gonna flash to stock and see what happens.
Also, bump.

I "think" its fixed now. I flashed back to stock, had a totally clean phone, then flashed PA back and copied over just what I needed to the sdcard and I haven't seen the flicker come back. The clean flash made the vibration much stronger on the phone so I guess it's conceivable a screen problem was fixed too. I must've had something really messed up in there.......

Greenish tint on display

I am having this display issue for a while now. My whole display is a little greenish. I have to set rgb to 100%-92%-100% in color calibration to have a normal display. This issue has been there for over 2 months. This happened suddenly after I installed one of the nightly ( I cant remember which one, 2 months ago). I hoped it'd get fixed but I still have the issue. I tried many fixes I saw on forums like set colors to 50% and then switch off display and other stuff. Nothing helped! The colors work fine on stock.
The cyanogenmod boot animation looks fine. When the homepage loads up, colors get screwed
Any help is appreciated

Clean install fixed it. My bad!
