Some have said "Change the ISO to 200"
HTC said "Go to settings / apps / camera / delete data" .. it actually seemed to make at least a little difference.
I put a new ROM on there with Android 4.3 and it seemed improved but still had the coloring issue you showed.
It seems like software could fix it, but it's hard to tell. Why are HTC replacing some of these if it can be fixed with software?

I understand people like taking photos of all kinds of stuff but why even bother taking a picture from 200 feet away in a dark room? Even if the colors looked better it seems like such a pointless photo. To each their own I guess.

Took that specifically for this post.
Almost seems that zooming in takes care of the lighting, but obviously then more pixelated.
Why is it a circle pattern too? I'm tempted to pull out the lens cover to see any different.
Was this an issue with original 4.2.1 release on other carriers?
Is this an issue on Google Play Edition?

its too dark and you are too far away. Maybe the lumia 1020 could handle that, but I doubt anything else would get a decent picture.
You could try my olympus OM-1 with manual shutter and telefoto lens... Got some great Northern lights shots with 20second shutter.
My point is that it just shouldn't be that grainy. I'm not looking to mount that shot on the wall. My GS3 AOSP would have done a lot better I feel.
Point is, camera sucks in low light. I'm not the only one having the issue.

This times 1000. People's cell phone camera expectations have gotten ridiculous over the last year or so. Want tremendous shots in any lighting situation? Go buy a DSLR, like Dark Jedi said. Simple as that. Not saying you can't be disappointed by how some shots come out, but let's be realistic. It's a cell phone.

Guys, quit flaming the OP. This is a widespread hardware defect on many Ones and there's a huge thread about it in the international forums here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
If your camera shows a bright purple/pink tint in low light, it's defective. HTC is currently trying to pass this off as a software issue and will roll out an update with 4.3 to lock down the ISO and do some color balance tweaking. It'll sort of mask the problem but probably isn't an actual fix. Wait until after the update, and if it still does this (which is more than likely), complain to HTC customer service and they'll probably let you send it in for repair.
Amazing. No flash.

I think one problem with the OP picture is that from what I can tell, the only lights in the place are those on stage. However, all off those are colored lights. No natural, white light. I think that is one of the biggest reasons for the tint.

Have you tried using HDR or Night mode? HDR is supposedly better for low and high light environments.
Go to the camera image adjustments, and try changing the exposure next time. You are taking a photo in a dark room where the lighting is illuminating only part of the photo. The camera's light sensor can't tell what to do for the light source.

I disagree about the GS3. I had it and it was really not that great. At that distance and low light expect grain and probably some strange colors if you are asking it to recognize strange lighting. Not sure if the purple tint is due to the lighting in the room or some other issue though. Photography is all about light whether you use the camera on the phone or a top of the line DSLR....still about the light. At that distance you are just not getting enough light to the sensor. You could try the max iso setting, but not sure if that would make a difference. Otherwise, you would need to leave your shutter open for longer which in turn would cause shake.
well I think we can say this is a software bug at least and not a physical phone problem.
I *hope*
Well I took a couple of photos at night using different settings. I think the photos came out alight and don't see the complaint some has with the camera.
First one was night mode
Second one was hdr mode
So very useable camera at night just have to take the time to set it up. I am sure I could get better photos if I used the manual settings.
I know anyone who are camera nuts will say auto mode never works right like you think it should. it's just made for people who can't use the individual settings

I've also read in a couple of places that HTC is replacing phones with the issue.
Has anyone had theirs replaced? What was the process? I just hit a Verizon store, and they said they were unaware, and therefore weren't going to be replacing them.
Also, spent a half hour on the phone with HTC, of which they took me through the *yawn* rudimentary steps of clear cache and data on the Camera app, wiping cache from recovery, etc.
They said they will NOT be replacing phones, and I'd have to wait for the 4.3 update, of which the guy "knows for a fact that it will be fixed then"
Oh well..

well, if you cant complain then ill do it for you, I wouldnt mind having the lag taken away BUT this was a feature, and if the feature didnt work, then its not a feature, so when I was excited about the phone last year, and I heard it was 5mp, I was let down, but then I was sold on 0 shutter lag, now the lag is back so we might have not even talked about the camera last year like it was special.
you cant sell a 1000hp car, first in the market, then after 3 months recall them to govern the engine to 750hp and still get credit for being a ground breaking car, so why should i give any credit to nexus for doing something special with the camera.
I used the time lapse feature today, what a JOKE! you need it propped up, and put it in airplane mode so that a text wont ruin your video, the screen stays on the whole time, you cant turn it off, and the smallest increment is 1 second, i washed dishes for a couple hours and had a 3 minute video that was a pain to watch because there was a window in the room that the camera adjusted for and me the focus was all dark.
I do like the built in photo editing, and the use of facial recognition, but when i saw the nexus get demolished by the one x, i cried, and now with 4.0.4 lagging more just to be a usable 5 mp camera, i think owners have the right to complain that a front page feature has been toned down for stability. though ultimately we want better pictures.
Focus once, don't move, take pictures in a bright area = insta pics.
I take them all the time.
Could you imagine how many EXTRA complaints there would be if it never focused?

This exactly. I take a lot of pictures of moving objects (my kids). Pre 4.0.4 they were *terrible*. They were so poor I bought an Xperia S for the camera. Post 4.0.4 they are now clear and of great quality (on par with the 12MP camera in the Xperia S which is no slouch). Let it focus and snap away. Move, refocus, repeat.
If you are rubbish photographer/videographer why blame the camera?
Like - I pointed camera at a window and everything else was dark. Doh.
Actually i was very disappointed with the camera i was like 5mp bullsh...

Almost certain you had a dirty lens. Happens everytime. Most of the time you won't notice it until you start getting crappy pics.
Watch out for case's altering pics with flash. Not sure if this is the issue but just wanted to remind
I think just like any hardware you're going to have some bad ones or in this case not as good. This isn't the first time I've seen this type of thing. I've had so many phones throughout the years and in some cases when I get a replacement the camera is not as good as the previous. I just exchange it again and hope the next one is better.
You sure you took the plastic film off the camera lens? I know, dumb question, but took me a few days to realize it was there.
How do you change 9.6 to the full 13mp?

This. Pics or it didn't happen. (a.k.a. User Error)
Just got my phone back from being S-OFF'd and decided to check my camera for a purple tint: http://imgur.com/a/NrAvJ#0. Is this what everyone's been talking about? If so, looks like I have a crappy unit.
What does the purple tint actually affect? I've noticed that my pictures with flash off turn out a bit blurrier, but I don't know if this is one of the side effects. I'd really like to trade in my unit for one that does NOT have this problem, but then I'd have to pay for S-OFF again.

This was with my phone lying flat down on a black leather chair. When I cover the lens with my finger, it just looks like the color of my finger because light is still getting in. If I cup the phone with my hand to block off the light, it's black and then I slowly see blue noise creep in after some time.

I'm really hoping this is the case, but I've read that it doesn't exactly make sense that it's a software issue since some units are on the exact same software without this purple tint? I'd hate for it to be a hardware issue that's simply swept under the rug by tweaking the software.

Not every phone is the same, there are multiple instances where one phone acts one way and another phone differently.
IF it is hardware I wont settle for anything but a brand new phone not taking a refurb on this phone.
I thought other people were seeing the purple tint in normal pictures. the images you posted just looks like low light noise. I normally see this type of low light noise when the sensor is pushed to hard by the software or the software is artificiality trying to add contrast in low light. I bet it is probably a combination of the sensor in your camera and the software. With any luck HTC can find a software fix for OTA. I know Motorola fixed the blue tint on my Droid 3 with a software update....

I agree, I sincerely hope that the VZW HTC One didn't use any cost cutting measures and this is a result of that and why it took so f*****g long to get to us.
and now I'm out $150 for being a loyal customer and buying my phone 1st day, had it been second day, I could have returned it but noooooooo.
I should have known they'd drop the price, but SO SOON!
HTC One Maxx must be REAL close..
Your phone isn't defective. That is the software trying to artificially induce contrast - if you take your phone and try some lowlight pictures you'll see it jump to a blue/purple/red tint as it tries to do its ultrapixel lowlight "magic". I can see this happen on mine too. The problematic phones are MARKEDLY worse.
I think a software fix will rectify the situation, and since HTC has acknowledged the issue, it will come in the next update. Unlike Samsung, whose sh*t Galaxy Nexus screens were so poorly made, yet they refused to acknowledge the problem.

The sensor is too good at what it does. Even with no light it is still trying to "sense up". Same effect seen on other ultra low lux cameras. Easily rectified with better software. It might just be that the sensors that exhibit this effect are actually better than the ones that don't.

Yep...this whole thread reminds me of my DSLR days and the Dpreview forums. Go take some real pictures and see what you get. If you still see purple casting on the picts then it is probably software. Now, you may see some purple fringing when there is bright light (ie sun) just off the edge. This happens with most phone cameras (and many regular). It would just be the bright light that would be purple though.
I am no expert but I cannot see how anything S-off would cause a purple tint/fringe.

Turn the iso down... What happens is the lens tries to open too much and is catching the ends of the light spectrum. Ex. Reds and blues. Other phones might not get these colors because the RF Stopper won't allow the lens to open up enough to start getting those colors

I saw at least one person mention that their camera wouldn't capture focus on anything further than 3 feet away. I was experience that problem too. This evening I was at a football game and was getting CRAP focus on the field. I was getting the people three feet in front of me in focus. I wondered if the lens was dirty. I wiped the lens with the camera app open and it forced a refocus and it finally grabbed focus out on the field. I tried shifting focus to other areas and focus was crap until I covered the lens and then let it refocus on the new item. Then it would grab a crisp image. If anyone else is encountering this issue, with the focal length not adjusting, I was curious what would happen if you tried the same thing.
Obviously this isn't ideal but it at least provides hope that software could remedy the issue.
I have and s4 that in considering swapping for an htc one. Only thing holding me back is the camera. I do use it quite a bit and overall the s4 is much better.

Did you have the purple tint to begin with? Just seems like they're masking the problem vs fixing it since the purple tint only occurs in low light settings..
Yeah. Mine was getting pretty bad. To the point that I wouldn't even pull my phone out and use my wife's s4 when we were in low light areas. I just took a picture of our guest bathroom with the light off while standing in the door way and there is no tint in it. If I hadn't reached 90% of my data last night, I would upload it. Maybe tonight when I get on Wi-Fi I will. But so far I am very happy with improvements to the camera.

Is it just me and I happen to have a faulty camera, or does the camera still sorta suck?
I mean, don't get me wrong, the pictures are sharper than ever due to the bump in megapixels, but from my experience, I can't get too close to a subject, or else the camera just won't focus. I have to pull back slightly to get a good macro shot. Not only that, but usually when you're in a dark room with a single light source, you have to tap on the light in order for the exposure to adjust to the light so you can get a clear picture. With my phone, its actually the opposite. You have to tap on a dark spot in order for the exposure to adjust to the light source. If you tap on the light source, then the exposure gets blown WAYYYYY TF (the ****) out. It's... Actually kinda weird.
Maybe I'm not camering right or something. Or maybe this is something that can be fixed in a future update and/or a different camera app. I will admit though, however, that before I got my N5X, I was using my Galaxy S6 for about a week, so I might have been slightly spoiled by that, lol.
