Faulty Camera?

Noticed a white fading band at the top of my camera image. Here is a screen grab where u can see what I'm taking about. It fades son its hard to tell if its even all the way across as some sort of UI design or if its my camera being faulty/ shifted out of position . Any thoughts?

Wow. I see it. Took me awhile to figure it out. My phone has the same thing. It might be normal or a theme thing. Lets see what other people have to say.

I have this as well, it seems more pronounced when viewed on the phone but when you look at the screengrab on the pc, you can barely notice it.
Also i tried taking a picture of what was in the viewfinder and the picture comes out as pure black, with no fading band. I'm assuming this is a software issue rather than a faulty camera or bad camera placement.
Have you noticed when you take a picture in low light and then click on the thumbnail on the right and start moving the screen around the edges of the photo go all weird ?

I also have this, I think this is just a frame around camera app.

Taking photos with FLASH blacks out a part of the photo

I use an otterbox case for my Xperia Arc S, but this problem happens with or without the case, even without the battery back cover.
Whenever I take a picture with flash, there's a part of the camera that doesn't capture the picture properly.
These two pictures will explain it better
Without flash ---------------- With.

And it can take up to the half of the pic aswell
You see how a part of the screen blacks out, so yeah, if I flip the phone and take the photo, the black thing will appear at the TOP of the picture, so that's the way I know that it's just a part of the camera that has this behaviour..
An important thing to say is, this doesn't happen at stock ICS and hasn't happened before at any 4.1.2 ROM, I can take pictures perfectly well. I'm using Slim Bean 7, a 4.2.2 ROM with the @nobodyAtall 's cm10.1 3.4.59 kernel.. not sure what's wrong with this, but I'm sure that the camera is not damaged. I saw that @mikeioannina was modifying things with the camera at his cm10.1, so I don't know if it has something to do with this problem I'm facing.. :L

In addition to the details.. the camera preferences are the default stock ones.
and, the problem just happens when flash is put into AUTOMATIC, you know, when it gives a little flash before taking the pic like a digital camera, all phones do that. But, the picture comes out perfect when I leave the flash permanently turned ON, like a torch.
Auto Flash:
Torch-mode flash
Same pic, same position, same angle...

Need help....Washed out colors

I had downgraded back to KitKat and had it setup exactly like I wanted it and had been using it for a few weeks. All of a sudden my screen would become washed out. Kind of like it was stuck in reading mode or something like that. Sometimes it will correct itself on it's own or if I enable then disable grayscale mode. If that doesn't work, then I have to reboot. After being locked for a few minutes though, it gets washed out again. I decided to go back to Lollipop to see if that fixed it but it's still happening.
What could be causing it have washed out colors?

Can you screenshot what you're talking about? And why would you want to be on KitKat?

Do you have the adaptive display enable?, is the rgb sensor blocked?
John.

I was going to try and get a screenshot but it hasn't done it again. Anyway, I just traded it for a gaming laptop today so doesn't really matter much anymore. Thanks for the replies though!

So, I got my tablet back and I have some screenshots of the issue available. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I talking about.

I believe it's hardware related. I was holding it at the bottom right corner when it got the green tint. Grabbing the bottom right and top left corners and bending slightly on the back of it causes the green tint. Bending on the front reverses the green tint. Loose connection, a short, or failing screen altogether?
EDIT: I looked at those screenshots while my screen is normal and I can't see the green tint, so this is really weird!

Oneplus 3 camera and gallery wonkiness

Hey guys,
I've had the OnePlus 3 for a wild 2 days and its definitely the best decision I've ever made phone wise. I like the camera, though it does oversharpen a bit, but the thing that really annoys me is how they have done the gallery with the camera. I'm not sure if they have a consistent system for when you are able to slide to see photos and when you cannot, but it seems arbitrary to me.
Basically, they have chosen to only allow the user to look at the pictures taken in that app session, which I can understand for some situations, but its a strange feeling when I open the camera app (double click home or launch app) and swipe to see my gallery and it just keeps saying No Photo. Seems like a strange departure from previous camera apps I've used. But sometimes, I open the Camera app and can swipe to any picture. I don't get the differences if there are any.

Anyone have a good rationale for it? This is not just me, right? Am I missing something?
Thanks and I hope to OnePlus with all of you in the months and years to come.

This is done to secure your data/photos in case someone finds your device.
When you open the camera app without unlocking your device by fingerprint (pin,...)
it does only show you the photos from the current session.
If you unlock your device and start the camera from the hoemscreen it will show you all your photos.
This has been this way on all my previous devices and also on iPhones for example.
What is weird is that it also shows no photo after unlocking when you open the camera app by long-pressing a navigation button
or double-pressing the power key.
edit: ok, after reading your post again I noticed that I basically repeated what you already wrote... I'm too tired :/

Same here. I was about to say this.

Screen off memo bizarreness

Either i'm going crazy, or Screen off memo changed between the pre-battery-recall firmware and post-battery-recall.
I could *swear* the line thickness was smaller before the update.
Also, what's with the weird minus-shaped cursor when you hover?
When you start writing, it turns into a normal circle shaped cursor, but as soon as you move the pen away and bring it back to the screen, it's a little dash again, until you actually touch the screen and start writing.
I'm fairly certain it's a bug, i'm just not sure if it's just my device or if it's widespread.

I'm on the original Note 7 PH9 frimware everything is as described. Except this "line thickness" I'm not sure what you're referring to?

I can't say much about line thickness, but it does seem very responsive to pressure - maybe try using the harder grey s-pen tip instead of the stock one, which is softer?
The line is there to show you where you're lined up.

Weird, i'd swear i didn't see that line before.
So if it's there to show where you're lined up, why does it turn into a normal cursor once you touch the screen - and stays that way for as long as you keep the pen in proximity to the screen?
Re: line thickness - good point, maybe they changed the pressure/thickness responsiveness slightly, or this pen has a slightly different feel. I'll try the harder tip.

Just to be clear re: cursor, this is what i was talking about:

Sorry for the potato shots.

Looks the same as mine, US Verizon flameout-proof edition.
