B&W Front facing camera. - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title states, the front camera has no color, it came like that right out of the box. Using root, it seemed to work fine, but I do not have need for root, and it didn't work 100%. Any fixes/others with this issue?

It's just the quality of the camera itself. If you look really closely, it's actually just very faded color, not actually black and white

Agreed. It's just a CRAP front facing camera. Guess they figured games would be too jaded to notice.

Okay, thanks!

I think it might be my camera, but I don't want you take it back. I think I got one of the good screens,I can't see the blobs or lines on the screen at the lowest brightness. Only when I really look at it in the dark but there's still barely any lol.

If you have a good screen then great haha. However the best way to test is with full brightness and a completely black image. You should see a green tint along with the lines and blobs. If you have a white SGSII, you won't really be able to see them until the soft keys turn off.

have you tried cleaning your lenses?
or taken out the protective plastic that was there when new?

Still in the picture with or without flash. Do you guys think they will exchange it?

If its a new phone they should because its a manufacturers defect. There should be no charges either for that.

Dirt under screen?

Guys I noticed something really annoying where as when there is a white background application like play store, WhatsApp, even xda I could see some particles that are not moving when I'm scrolling. I thought it was screen protector so I removed it, cleaned the screen and I could still see these particles which I guess they are dirty. Our are they something else maybe screen is damaged? And if it's dirt how did it get in there? It's only a month used.
If you could try it with me on your note 2 that would be great.
Put brightness on maximum no auto. Open play store and look closely and scroll to see any stable Black dots.

If you mean that white things aren't really white like other devices and somehow has black spots, than thats normal I guess.. I have the same thing.. that annoyed me for a while but I became used to it.
It might be something to do with non-Pentile amoled screen.

Yes. And not only the whites any other bright colour like here in xda u can see black spots, very tiny but plenty that they are obvious. I just want a confirmation if that is dirt and not my screen is faulty somehow.

How to fix pink pixels

I had a pink line running up and down my screen on the right side which was awful on white screens. I noticed a lot of people have also been complaining of pink blotches or something of the sort.
I did a little something most commonly used on TV.
go to dialer and press
*#0*#
it'll take you to a test screen.
press on red, blue, green on the top and see which pixels need to be re learned.
keep the phone on each of the 3 color screens for a few minutes each.
it should start to fade the pink away
if it doesn't, repeat.
normally it's the red where the pixels are most noticeably out on.
give the process and repetition some time. it should seriously help get your pink screens right again!
my pink line is gone!

Ive got a pinkish hue across the bottom. and this doesnt appear to be working on cyanogenmod for me ("Connection problem or invalid MMI code")
Is there any difference to just leaving a full screen pure red, pure green, or pure blue (255,0,0 , 0,255,0 , 0,0,255) image on the screen, or does it do some fancier other things in the background?
Alternatively, is this hardware or software based fixing/learning? If I revert to stock, run this, then return to cyanogenmod will it still be fixed?

Just flash a Stock Based ROM (much easier then Odin) and then run the codes. Yes it should fix it when you flash back to CM hoping that this fix is a true fix. I am also guessing that the codes do a little more than just holding a colored image on the screen. Might be wrong on that but who knows.
It's proprietary Samsung service mode. Only works on touchwiz roms

Glad to hear you were able to fix the issue! I had a vertical pixel width line on the first gs4 I got before I exchanged it. Although I am pretty sure that mine was a hardware problem because it was always there, even when in the bootloader and startup animations.

yeah so was mine. this is a lot like the color code pixel reset on plasma and LCD TVs.
and yes it must be touchwiz because it's a code for that software. I am not sure if Cm has one yet

pink pixel when you get a screen problem then you just think its display problem and change the display with same model so you can solve pink pixel.

Weird camera color issue

So I was about to take a picture of some dried fruit that I purchased at work to a buddy and I noticed that the white desk that I'm on look like it had a red tint to it. Then I moved the blue packaging out of the way and the color went back to white how it should be. I asked my coworker to let me her iPhone 5 & I open her camera and when I try to reproduce this effect on her phone hers got the colors right. I took pictures screenshots during the shots in the same position one with the blue packaging and one without so you can see the difference of color that happens. This is extremely disappointing for me for a camera so good supposedly. Take a look at the attached picture to see what I'm talking about I know it sounds a bit confusing.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
And just to clarify moving the package of the fruit to the right to the point where it's almost not on the screen what caused the coloring to go back to normal as I would move the packaging back towards the left the color would get worse

Brown screen

Why does the screen look brownish when turned off? (Under direct sunlight or lots of light environments). On other phones it looks all black when display is not on.

Sorry I forgot to mention that you can see that during the day when outdoors or under direct light source. If you are in a dark room at night it looks black but if you have it in your car during the day and driving around, it looks brownish when off. I will take my other phone with me and take some pictures to show you.

I just tested it out with direct sunlight on the screen and my looks fine. Just plain black.

A little lighter (logically ), but in no way brown, reminds me of the look like my old Galaxy S4
ALL Screens with AMOLED look brownish/dark greenish when off and when looking from an angle.
Totally normal.
Thread can be closed.
I guess we have different eyes then
Never noticed this in a few years while using Samsung Galaxy S (first gen.) and I still don't notice any color change on OP3 no matter how hard I look. Even if I put it side by side with my previous phone with IPS.
Will wait for pictures, now I'm really interested to see that tint.
And will also try taking some pictures of my own to have something for more objective comparison (different color value of pixels).

I've got a similar issue I guess, the right side of my screen shows dark colours lighter than the left side of the screen. The left side looks normal.
It's noticeable when you have dark mode enabled and you pull down the quick settings toggles, but it kinda messes with me sometimes ????
