After a few months of owning my s3, the camera has developed blue dots under low light.

Quick question are the dots always in exact same spot? I'm thinking it's dead pixels in your screen not the camera or picture itself. If you look at the picture on another device or computer screen is the dot still there?

Only when I open the camera not on the screen if its really bright the dots fade away.I think its the camer senser it self.

So it doesn't reflect in the actual picture once taken?

Yes I see what you mean. It does seem to be a hardware issue. Maybe you can take the phone in they may replace the phone or Samsung will fix the camera or replace your device, you do have 1 yr manufacturer warranty from Samsung direct. But check with Sprint first they might just swap it out for you right there in the store.

Wierd notification bar color in Jellybean

Hello all I just installed the official yakju jellybean update and my notification center does not have a smooth gradient at the part where the top joins the rest (unlike all the videos I have seen) :

Is this normal? :/
Its not very clear in the screen shot but the part where the top joins the rest of it has a purple part about halfway through the time (going downwards)

By the way what app did you use for the power controls up top?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda-developers app
"Power controls". It's free in the play store, and its worked flawlessly on every JB ROM so far.

From a desktop computer I don't see the purple at all. Maybe you just have the purple tinted screen? I do, and very very dark greys come out looking purple.

Camera on Galaxy note 2

Idk if I have a faulty camera or not but it seems like the photos I take on the phone seem very blurry. Is it just me, or is the screen just to big which is making the pictures look a little pixelated?

Man, I noticed and have been thinking the same thing. My pictures turn out really grainy. I try to hold it perfectly still but more than half my pictures turn out looking like crap. I've tried messing with the settings but I've got nothing...
Are you holding it still until the picture is clear on your screen ?
This happens to me but only when I do not hold it still.

It might be the size of the phone, but I'm going to take it to the tmobile store and compare it with the demo unit.

Uninstall your current one

It's not all the way done yet, a few image tweets to do and a couple text colors.

Did you completely remove your current one. It usually means the signature is messed up. What one are you trying?

Evo camera purple dots/marks

Does anybody have some type of purple pen marks on the inside of the camera lens?
I just noticed today that my cam has those marks, looks purpleish and kinda foggy.
Anybody know how i can fix it?

Foggy usually means moisture. You can just wait a few days and see if it clears up or replace the camera. Parts are super cheap for the OG EVO and its an easy replacement.
Is it the Purple looking marks that are the concern ? Or is the Camera not Functioning properly ? If the Camera isn't functioning properly, you may want to try applying gentle pressure to the lens itself. Looks like the Device has been dropped. When that happens sometimes the lens unseats. Applying gentle pressure on it till it seats itself again sometimes corrects the issue.

Tried it...but I like the touchwiz lock screen and it interferes with it. Phone flashes briefly like normal then quickly turns off...then active notifications activates.

Yeah I know what you mean! It's for those that want those type of features is all!! It's kinda like some like pop up SMS. And Which I dislike. That's all!!
But it's still actually a cool app!, not sure how it'll be on battery life..

Well, I presume using the AOSP lockscreen you won't have that issue. But I enjoy the touch wiz one. It should be fine (battery life) as long as its an amoled screen. Wouldn't recommend on an LCD/IPS screen.
