Below is a shot I took and posted a while back that I have increase the brightness to show the diff in picture quality I have been experiencing since the 2.2 update. The Orangish one is pre froyo and the blue one is after froyo. I can tell this by looking at the date one, and the file name format two.. For some reason google changed from date and time format (2010-05-03 22.36.05.JPG) and switched to a more stupid one (IMG_20100606_215314.JPG) Sure the info is the same just more stupid to look at. Anyways here are the pics.

Anyone else experience this and can this be fixed?
Also I am unrooted and stock, but I have been thinking of rooting.
Thank you in advance!!
do you have negative on?
Nope this is the pic in normal mode but I have increased its brightness so I can show how bad it is. When its dark and I turn the camera on I can see the same lines in the blue pic moving around and when I snap a pic they are there.. They also replicate the color that is the brightest in the pic. I never had these issues before 2.2. I dont think it is a interference problem as it does not change and when it does it changes only to the color of light.
Daytime I cant see it. It almost appears this things ISO is SUPER high... But not sure. I have played with all settings and it only happens in the normal setting.. If I change to mono.. Black and white... IT all goes away.. Same with other modes.. Its clear as a whistle... Just in normal color pic mode do I get these in low light scenarios.

I think its a problem with your camera, even before froyo my pictures at night wasnt that grainy. Total speculations though of course
yeah it must be your phone because my night pictures come out looking much better than that like 10x better
I sent a support request in to HTC with the picture to see what they have to say.. if it is my cam I would like a replacement. I will post with a response if I get one. Ty posters!

I have taken low light pictures that have the same grain and lines,I'm very disappointed with low light picture quality.
Edit: no froyo here, its a desire of course but they are the same same.

ive noticed this too as of lately
were you possibly zoomed in on the second pic?
I wish it was that simple. I don't use the zoom as it does not work well on any photos I have taken.
Also I contacted HTC and they told me to contact Google. :/

I know this is an old post but I also get lines in my images since upgrading to 2.2.
Both of these images were taken inside the exact same light box which is white. I've cut out a strip from each image to show what's happening.
2.2 Image
2.1 Image
Notice the banding in the 2.2 image and the overall blue cast? At least with 2.1 I could adjust the images in Photoshop to give them proper whites and color. With 2.2, it's impossible to do anything with the photos to make them look better due to the crazy banding.
Here is mine, except I'm on the latest nightly of CM6. this is resized with paint.net from 2592x1952 to 800x602
So, is that how it's supposed to look or? Was that a pic of something white?

I also wanted to note that the banding is visible on the screen before the camera even takes the pic. So the images are true captures of what the camera is seeing.

yes, i was trying to reproduce the banding of something white, like your images using cm6 which is based on 2.2
just did some "testing" and i was not able to reproduce that banding.... a no light and a light picture is posted below

I believe my camera has faulty sensors. It seems to have a purple tinge in darker areas. Compared it with my brother's One and indeed, color on mine looks weird as hell around the shadows and darker areas.

So time to send it in to change a new camera module?
Are you rooted? Maybe you could try a different rom. I remember this happened when Chad (dev) was switching the rezound over to ion memory management.. Long story short the cameras had a purple tint which he said could be memory leak. So given that experience I think it could be software.
I talk to much lol. If it were my phone id exchange it.

Make sure you have not set a certain non auto white balance, and make sure you are not applying a filter to all photos (the camera app can apply filters before photos are taken, the button at the right bottom). If they all checked out, then it's probably faulty sensor.

Thanks lol. Everyone has been praising how good One camera is. Looks like I've got the jackpot out of the masses there and that was what was troubling me lol
Reminiscent of the HTC one it seems that my unit has a blue bleed onto the sensor from the backside illumination. Look up the m7 low light issues. They get worse over time so I'm thinking what will happen is it starts out very mild as it is now and gets significantly worse as time progresses. Here is an example.
You really have to look for it to see it. Crank up brightness and such. When taking low light photos the outer parts must be dark. But really this bs from a flagship. I'll be returning this phone. LG g3 here I come no more bs knox!

Then clearly progresses into a full blown bad sensor. Looks like you completely missed my point of find it now, see if it's a widespread issue like the m7, track it to see if it gets worse, and fix it under warranry or replace if it's within return period like me. Above was my wife's htc one she never sent in(otterbox) next to an htc one we sent in and got back with a good sensor.
So it only gets worse... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595534 and the main reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
Again I only made this thread because this is exactly how my wife's m7 started before it turned horrid. I played xcom on my phone which made it pretty hot for extended periods and ad the first thread states apparently gets worse with heat.

I was thinking the same thing
I made a test taking a picture with the lights off and the phone agains my bed.
ISO 100 --> a very nice black photo
Auto ISO (a very high ISO, i can't remember the value, but it's extremely high) --> you can see at the center of the photo a perfect black, but in the corners you can see some purple tint. It looks like noise, but it's a strange behavior that just the corners are affected.
why is it assumed that since you have the faulty sensor thats just how the S5 was made. maybe you have a faulty device and it needs excahnged. try a second device and see how it is. if its similar thgen this maybe an issue. but one thing from one device isnt "bs from a flagship device"
It gets worse if you enable picture stabilization. Mine has quite a bit in low light, but as FarKeld noted, it all goes away at low iso settings.
with picture stabilization ISO goes up to 2000
btw: I'm getting an annoying error "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" every time I try to see my photos

Depends on the lighting so not much can be done.
I've had the problem with my X once. It was in Hershey Park Arena (the old one) in one of the halls, taking a picture of a logo on a wall.
I've never seen it since. So it may be related to specific lighting conditions.
What happens at home, under low non-florescent lights?

Under non fluorscent lights, it is fine.
why i am worried is, i am using this phone from 5 months, and recently this change is observed and
at the same place , with the same model (moto x) doesnt show this lines/this behaviour.
so i thought this is problem my handset itslef.

from what you are describing it sounds like the issue only arises in just the right conditions. that means your camera hardware is probably fine and the problem can be seen as software related. Moto X camera software doesn't give you much in the way of settings to mess around with, so you should try third party apps that do have more settings. Maybe a more photography enthusiastic user can chime in here, but I'd think trying an app that has settings for different lighting conditions, stuff like white balance, etc might help.
I use stock camera myself, and not that much at that, but I do notice you can get completely different exposure of the same scene in the same lighting if you change something like the manual focus or the angle of your shot.
I have a Moto X and was facing a similar problem. Using a third-party camera app named CameraMx solved it for me! I dont know why or how but it worked for me! That app seems to correct those black and white lines in some way! Hope it works for u too!
As you guys probably know, this port of Google's Pixel app has been doing the rounds on XDA and various users report much better quality photos with it on Snapdragon devices.

Has anyone tried this on the Nokia 8? Does it work? If yes, could you post some sample photos and comparison with Nokia's own default camera app? I'm especially interested in low-light situations.
Thank you
yes, hdr+ is giving me awesome photos.
sadly we need to edit media_profiles.xml to add profiles for slow-motion and HFR.
can't alter the system for now as there is no bootloader unlock (thus no custom recovery or root).
Thank you.
I mostly care about HDR+ so that's great to hear.
Have tried the Google camera app and I believe at the moment I get better results. The Nokia software algorithms need some work I think.

I will update as further messing with the camera that the night shots with flash on with the pixel are shockingly bad. The flash is not working correctly. Pictures are not being lit up enough. It's a dual tone flash on the Nokia but with pixel APK, it's not firing the brighter flash

This was a good post to get the history and to learn about the different versions.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552
I'd say start with the 3.8 (linked in post above, without any letter after it) version but 1.4-version will probably be fine as well.
Note to others downloading the file: The Android Download-app doesn't open APKs, you need to install a file manager app to open it.
So next question, which are the recommended settings in the app? In the 3.8 version there are tons of values you can select. HDR+ isn't enabled per default.
I tried on Nokia8 and I think no one notice that it has small color dots and line in every photo that process HDR at the bottom of picture. I tried every setting and still can't figure out how to remove. It's also appear in skip24ftlb's photo.
Seems ok the shots come out slightly better than nokia stock but the bottom of the photo has these blue and red bars (looks like some graph lines) on every photo that you point at a bright source of light and reduce the brightness on screen to absolute minimum. Happened on all photos that I took of the sunrise with heaps of bright orange clouds.
It stickout more when the bottom half of the photo is darker down the bottom.
Cheers

What kbrn is talking about (green cast while in manual focus) is a feature called "focus peaking", and, yes, the Note 9 does do it (as does the Note 8, and my wife's S8).
(But that's not what we're seeing in the OPs post since the pics are in Auto.)
