Lately i start using Cinema-FV5 which captures videos with manual ISO values etc (just as the Camera FV5 app that does with pictures).
When i turned my screen down to a black surface i noticed that my camera ccd has dead pixels.
I've tried it a couple of days and they are always at a consistence place.
Has anybody else having this problem too?
Fyi i dont see the dead pixels with stock camera.
And can i take it back to the store to let it repair under warranty?

Yes so long as you didnt cause it through opening the insides or the phone or installing non stock software it should be fine
Installing any non-stock software definitely shouldn't cause a hardware defect

Hi everyone, recently i noticed that when recording video there is a white stuck pixel in the viewfinder that shows up on indoor or low light conditions...also shows on the camera ( i am not talking about the red or blue hot pixels that show up when you cover the lens completely) and the interesting thing is that when i snap a picture it wont show up but if i record a video its there, after some testing i found out that it dissapears if i enable image stabilizer witch is very strange..and it leads me to beleive that this can be fixed by software update, i have tested many Arcs and read many forums and it seems every single one has this to some extend, some worse some better but all do. Now i know that Droid X users had this problem a while ago and it was fixed with an software update, also i know that even some of the most expensive cameras have this as well and it is fixed by pixel remapping so my question is this: does anyone have any knowledge of modding the camera driver on the Arc and is it possible to somehow fix this? Other than contacting SE about the issue since this will take forever until they do anything about it (develop a software fix etc.)
Anyone? Any info about modding the camera will be helpfull. Few more things i found is that if i enable sport scenes the white blinking pixel is gone both on cam and video and will show again if i max the exposure...

My phone recently started displaying everything with like a cartoon effect where you can see all the pixels being thick? & I copied some images to my pc & they display correctly so I decided to take a screenshot of a picture, please look, any help?
Thanks in advance
hi does it do it when your on the se home screens and app draw or just with photos youv taken ?
Looks weird. Like the screen is only able to display a very little amount of colors which results in heavy banding in gradients. Or heavily compressed images.
Like the previous poster said, are only the photos affected or everything like homescreens too? If only photos, you haven't changed to camera quality settings to the worst (though I heavily doubt it could be that bad even if you did)?
Ooops you said they look fine on the computer which is weird. Maybe your screen if faulty somehow. Don't know. But if only the screen is faulty it should not show on a screenshot. Very weird problem indeed.
Its just affecting when I take pictures, or even when I download random images the same problem occurs, so just viewing images really
So just viewing images, It may be your image viewer.
Is that the stock photo app or camera360?

It's the stock gallery app.
If it only affects images I would try and download another gallery application like Quickpic and see if the images display fine.
Maybe if you replaced the app with the one fro system dump?

I used quickpic & it works fine its just gallery & some games
Wow, I found out what it was.... It was chainfire 3d, I accidently selected the unroll to 16 bit & when I uninstalled it it worked fine!
Hello!
I need some assistance regarding the HOX stock camera app.
You see, the photos i tace with the One X turns out really bad.
My old (old, old, old) iPhone 3GS kicks this one's ass.
The images turns out grainy and low res. It's set to 8mpx and all settings are stock.
Now i thought it was a hardware problem but when trying other camera apps souch as Camera Zoom FX they turn out pretty great.
The stock camera app pictures is about 1.5-1.7 mb while the Camera Zoom fx are at a natural ca 3.5mb.

What could be causing this problem, or should I simply return it?
Do you have the stock camera app 8mp set to 16:9 or 4:3 format? I noticed with my own testing that the 16:9 format uses less of the sensor and you dont get full 8mp images resulting in lower image size. The 4:3 format is getting me 2.8mb+ image size.

You seem to have already answered your first question, and as to whether to return it or not because the stock camera app over compresses images, well, up to you.
Stock cam app compresses so you can have burst mode. Third party apps don't have the same speed as stock camera, but compensates with quality. And no, even with the stock app, the 3GS camera is worse.
harlz: I've tried both. 4:3 gives me a slightly better image.
I'ts strange thoug. Yesterday I rebooted the phone and took a picture, the screen was black for about 3 sek and then it took a photo that was just amazingly good. I took about tree more great pictures that ended up on ca 4mb. But now. I'm down to about 2mb and the images just looks like crap.
What could be causing this? Is anyone experiencing something like this?

Sounds like you were using the HDR function of the camera?

I wish I was. But if you look at the picture Its not. Niether is any of the other bad pictures. I made a thread at swedroid and people are experiencing this as well.
There is another thread on focusing issue, but I don't know if we are talking the same thing since the OP set the focus to infinity, not auto.
Z1 Compact camera loses focus easily in dark/bright situations. Not only in video mode but in photo mode too, obviously. It happens all the time, even on far objects. Here I demonstrate with screen of another phone because it is a very good dark/bright object with a great contrast.
I've tested on stock, CM and Slim camera apps. This video is taken on Slim camera.
Do you have the same problem?
No one noticing this issue, or does no one care? I don't either since I mostly use camera to take photos..

same problem here
Recently I got Snapchat and Instagram, when I use their built in camera, the quality is severely reduced. It looks like a 5 MP camera. But using stock camera app (or any camera app) the quality is great. The problem is with apps that do more than take pictures.. Here's two photos so you get an idea. Anyone else have these issues or know a fix?
I haven't noticed any particular image quality problems on my G3 with those apps. I do know that Snapchat saves images in same resolution as your screen, so in the G3's case: 2560x1440

I don't know if you can see from the pictures, but I don't get anywhere near that, or HD for that matter. You wouldn't happen to know a fix?
Instagram reduces filesize, so, they probably do this directly from the camera app.

I'm aware all apps reduce file size, but the images I capture are no where near up to par to a decent standard. The image quality with Snapchat on my HTC M8 was great, but on the G3 it's horrible
I'm having the same problem you are. I reinstalled Snapchat and the problem was still there. I even tried a camera mod (tweaks media_profiles) to no avail. It's a frustrating problem especially when I see my friends' high quality snapchat pictures and while mine are blurry.
Solution!
I finally figured out what was causing this, it somehow just came to me. All you have to do is hide the navigation bar in Snapchat (or any other app you're experiencing this in) and viola, clear pictures! Go to settings->display->home touch buttons. Hope this helps!

So it just looked blurry on your end until you removed the nav bar and on others' phones it looked fine even before your fix?
No it would be blurry to the people I snapchatted as well. I think it has to do with the fact that snapchat captures the image as a "screenshot" of what appears on the screen rather than the raw image from the camera.

Oh my, thank you so much man! I could finally Snapchat friends without feeling embarrassed, you're the best!
It bothered me so much before. Glad I could help!
My pictures are definitely better in snapchat after hiding home buttons
