I have a problem with my Tilts screen, on some programs I can see a line running across the screen right where the bottom bar for the softkeys is located. When I am using the camera it appears to be green, and when i open up the tab for the options it is white, its not that visible to most people but I can clearly see it, and it and it is extremely annoying I will take some pictures of it later, just wanted to know if anyone has the same problem
looks a hardware fault to me...is it happening on landscape and portrait mode?
I have problem with horizontal line on the screen only in camera (3Mpix) mode. This line apper on the taken foto. I thin it must be camera ... I hope this will be fixed soon...
I send mine back for repair, because of the horizontal and vertical lines in camera mode.

it happens on both, the problem kinda reminds me of those old crt monitors where if you had the same thing on the screen too long it would burn in. the line is on the left side of the screen and looks exactly like the shiny part of the left softkey is.

Was it repaird or did you get a new one ? I now that it's diffrent in every country but how long were you left without phone ?
I'm still in the waiting, the TNT guy just picked it up. They promised me it will take 10 days max. This includes the time for sending it back to me.
So hopefully i'll get it back before 15 dec. I think they will replace my cameralens, since there is a white dead pixel on it. But who knows...
Im having the same problem.
I just received my MDA Vario III yesterday.
I installed the hardSPL and flashed with dutty's latest rom.
I also took a contacts pic of my dad, hehe.
But today, I started the camera and noticed a red line running across the cam.
So I took the picture, and checked the pic. It seemed the red line was taken with the picture. This does mean there's some hardware problem. Also, I found another topic on the internet with more people complaining about it:
Click!
I just called T-Mobile and they wouldnt help me cause the contract's on my dad's name. (A few years back when I wasn't 18 yet)
Anybody else who has experienced this problem?
i just took a pic of my monitor in low light conditions - i have a totally black screen with only the taskbar visible (light gray) i found that taking a picture in landscape mode, the night mode or some **** is causing all pixels along that line to darken (??) see this link for an example (3mp @ fine)
note: this happens in landscape mode probably because the orientation of the line of pixels is in line with the pixels of the camera (cant seem to reproduce it when the device is upright [ie the taskbar spans the 240, not the 320]) - this could either be the utterly _crap_ nightmode filter software or could be due to the ccd itself - i dont really know enough about camera technology to determine which is the cause (you think maybe the crap nightmode filter determines the gamma of horizontal lines based only on the pixels in that line? that would explain this effect and if so thats just plain ****)
My Kaiser has new camera. It took only one day to repair it. I've heard that camera in Kaiser is made by Samsung ... (it was mentioned in service report)
Now it's all ok. I wonder how long ...
I was wondering if there was any sort of camera driver for download yet, ive been looking all over the site and have yet to find one, and ive looked throughout the internet for one, but Im finding old websites not updated since january....pleeease anybody?
Is this what you are looking for?

that version is still slow videorendering...
Thanks, it seemed to help out alot in brighter areas but the dark places are still slow... its no problem to me ill just use a dig camera if I need a dark pic... thank you =D
A trick I picked up here with the "new" driver was to turn the camera on. After it comes up, press the power button to put the phone in "sleep" mode. Hold your hand over the camera lens, wake up the phone with the power button, wait 5 seconds and see if the frame rate is a little faster. Goofy trick, but it seems to work.

i found this trick a long while ago. it does seem to work but i dont think it has anything to do with the htc-ca or omnia drivers so even if you dont have them installed, it will work.
I'm using the Laurentius26 V10 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416278 ) cooked ROM with the HTCA drivers ( see http://www.htcclassaction.org ) and the camera is performing extremely well. There is no evidence of any lag when there is sufficient light available, it seems to still take a performance hit when it has to compensate.
Rob
ps. that trick that p51d007 suggested is completely bizarre! Even the lag with close up or darkness goes away.
i am using the hyperdragon iiir lite rom with the (recomended) radio 1.65.24.36
and the omnia 3d driver installed in it
and video acceleration is perfect!!
a small improovement i have see also in camera
From my point of view... the camera gets SLOW whenever it has to increase exposure to compensate for the dark areas. The power button somehow fixes te exposure... or disables it.
Point is.. although being 3.0 MP...camera quality is nothing like a 3.0 real photographic camera. So... my question is...
Would picture quality get that worse... if the camera would always shoot with a fixed (lets say 1.0) exposure... and then increase the brightness of the picture via software ?
And to be REALLY bold... and please realize that i'm sugesting with virtually or really NO KNOWLEDGE ... 3D graphics can have its gamma controled... at least in a normal computer... how about showing the camera image on a D3D or OGLES texture... and increasing it "exposure" via gamma control ?
(Am i nuts?)
Yeah that trick works, but the picture is darker and a lot grainier. Also if you point the camera to a bright light source, it "resets" and then when you point at dark areas again, it lags. That trick seems to "initalize" the camera to a dark setting, for lack of a better phrase.

Damn, you're right, it resets when you point it at a bright source...I was all excited for a minute, too...
I wonder if there is a way to make the camera behave that way all the time? I snapped a picture with the trick active and it came out pretty good.
Hi,
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH.
Already one day i bought my new HTC with software version1.29.595.2 (i tried to found a new update, but not available)
The CAMERA have a the problem
I tried to pick a fast photo with automatic mode with bad results. The right side of screen is impossible to focus (with automatic focus or touch focus), (if you rotate in 180° the phone the problem would are in the left side).

This is one of the stranger things that have ever happened to my phones. Been android loyal since eclair and always have had great luck with the cameras through the years. I felt that the HTC one S had an amazing camera. Now with my HTC One (M7) the past year its been solid. Recently, however, the camera does a real quirky thing. Pre sense 6, when i loaded the camera it would come on visually sideways no matter if i am in landscape or portrait. But when i take the photo and view it in the gallery it comes out perfect portrait. I literally just took the hit and got used to a sideways camera sadly. Today though i just updated to the sense 6 and the good news is that in landscape phone the camera works phenomenally. But when i turn it right side up to portrait the camera shuts off and the screen is just black until it move it back into landscape where it turns back on and works great. I'm happy to not have a sideways camera phone anymore but does anyone know what it could be that shuts off portrait now? It seems that the new sense update is handling whatever is wrong with my camera in a different manner. Any tips or solutions? If i put rotation lock on, neither portrait or landscape work and its just a blank screen. If i restart my phone, it works in portrait mode for about five to ten seconds and then just shuts off (in previous sense 5.5, it would be rightside up and then after 5-10 seconds it would just flip on its own sideways. Any insights or ideas what could be wrong? All info is welcome. Thanks everyone!
Is anyone having any trouble with setting screen mode to vivid?
When I switch to vivid, the entire screen becomes very orange, to a degree that something is clearly wrong. It looks like the blue light filter is turned on, even though it isn't. And turning on the blue light filter makes it much worse. It's like there is a single application of blue light filter permanently active, and then a full second layer being added when actually turning the blue light filter on.
This is coming from someone who generally runs Warm1 or Warm2 settings on my TVs and monitors. This isn't just a warm white, this is distinctly orange. Changing back to natural brings the white levels back to a normal level that I would say is pretty neutral, if not slightly warm.
When set to vivid, changing the white balance between warm and cool does almost nothing; the change is so subtle that you have to actually flip back and forth several times to notice it. And changing the RGB in advanced settings does absolutely nothing.
A couple other facts to note:
- I do not have any type of screen protector; the one that was on the phone out-of-the-box has been removed.
- This isn't just related to the angle at which I am viewing the phone; it is consistently orange from every possible angle.
- Blue light filter, night mode, and adaptive brightness are all turned off.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just on my end? I have restarted the phone several times. I would really like to avoid a factory reset if possible.
i find mine to be more warm in natural mode however is been known that the screens on the S10 are much warmer than s9/n9 due to the reduction in blue light
if in vivid mode - please access the manual setup maybe the red is setup to max or something
Check that you do not have night light also selected in the drop down settings, as the s10 already has blue light filter reduction.
Mine was like that originally. Had to install Play Books and then turn off it's version of night mode. Seems that even though I didn't install it on this phone, it's night mode somehow still carried over.

As I said in my post, it doesn't matter what I set the RGB values to, they make no difference. And the whites look just fine in Natural mode, so it's not the screen, it's a software issue.

As I already said in my post, the blue light filter is turned off. It's off in the quick settings and off in the actual settings. I can turn it on and it doubles the problem; turning it back off returns to the normal problem.

I've never used Play Books before. Installed it just now and there's no night mode in it.
So it looks like the bug is tied to setting a schedule for the blue light filter. This morning the overly orange effect was gone. It seems likely that the setting somehow carried over from my previous phone and stayed separate from the one on this phone. Unfortunately, this probably means I will need to factory reset because there is no way of accessing this second schedule.
I won't be the only person that has carried over data from a previous phone and used a scheduled blue light filter. I hope Samsung fixes this in an update so that others don't have to deal with it.
In Play Books, open any free book and click on
then disable the schedule and hit turn it off now if it's on
Edit: screenshots aren't showing up for some reason. Anyway open any free book, tap in the middle of the page to bring up the menu bar at the top, tap on "Aa" and then night light settings. Set the schedule to "None" and hit end now if your screen is currently orange.
My wife has never installed Play Books, and that still fixed it for her.

Good to know, thanks. If the issue comes back again tonight, I will try this.
I think there is some hidden night mode in android which Play Books ties into. My wife's old Pixel had a night mode setting in the settings app which she had set up, and the new S10 night mode looks entirely different. Think copying settings and accounts over brought the hidden night mode settings over, and Play Books is just the easiest way to access that hidden setting.
The Play Books trick worked. Thanks guys!
Exactly like @lightmastertech said, the vanilla Android night mode settings are hidden but still active, and it carried over from my Pixel 3. Play Books allowed me to access this menu (odd that it's still there, 100% intact) and disable it.

Google's gonna get a lot of downloads for Play Books now, lol. Only app I could find that accessed the system night mode an not its own filter overlay. Glad it worked for you man! ?

I have a s10+ and just noticed I have the same exact issue. I posted earlier on the s10+ forums.. Natural looks much cooler
Nevermind.. the playbook trick worked. I came from a pixel and had the blue light setting turned on much earlier than my s10+. Thanks @lightmastertech @Sevael
Wow, just wow. Ran into this tonight for the first time because I wanted to try out the Vivid colour mode. What an amateur oversight by Samsung to not prevent the stock night mode from running. For those that want to have access to this setting without Play Books, you can use Quick Shortcut Maker and just search for Night Light, then launch the returned result. It will put you right into the stock Night Light mode.

Can you now change the color temperature after play book trick? I cannot still change it.
I just had to bump this because of the absolute cavalcade of potential issues that can cause the screen to appear tinted. I've googled this for almost a year now after only noticing the yellowing of my screen when in Google photos. Then the random tinting was happening at sunset and every forum pointed to blue light, vivid setting, night modes etc... To find this elusive setting in play books of all places, to fix an issue that's plagued me through my last 3 devices, to the note 10 I'm on now, and it's finally fixed. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
I have only just bought an S10, and I have the same issue as OP. I have installed play books and followed instructions on this thread, but can't find in on play books night light settings set the "schedule" to "none" and hit end now.
Thank you so much ! Same happened to my FOLD - You solved it for me !

You are a genius - I had this happen to my new Galaxy Fold - it suddenly became warm and dim and I couldnt figure out what happened - Searched forums and found your solution - This must be pinned in all SAMSUNG forums
Thanks !
