[Q] Best App to Correct 'Pink Spot' - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of an Android App that will correct the 'pink spot' issues generated by the Galaxy Note camera (happens when taking pictures of 'light' areas in low daylight)??
....it looks like a white balance problem so I am looking for something that can adjust this correctly before taking a picture (standard camera settings do not work) OR can correct the problem through editing after the picture has been taken.
Many Thanks in advance

I would rather not as that makes the whole picture out of balance rather than just the spot that needs correcting....am looking for a software fix or a non-flash workaround

Havent had it all roms. Change from centerweighed to matrix solves it a little lol

Thanks for the reply...I will try the light metering options... Do you know if changing the ISO settings would also help?
Do you also mean that the problem is less on custom roms? If so, have you found any that work better than others in addressing this issue ?

Havent tested ISO settings, you can try, I am curious.
Not necessarily custom roms. I am now on lc2 rom and noticed it, on lci dbt csc I did not notice it. I dont always see it on all roms, thats what I mean.
I do notice differences in picture quality across roms, stock and custom Cm9 for me are hazy, stock ics not much better. Stunner. 19 was good, 26.1 again not good. Havent a clue why I experienced that, others dont experience it, so it for me is rom dependant, for you it could be different

thanks again....I will have a play around and see what I can come up with....given the number of people that seem to have this problem it seems worth some 'digging'

Your welcome, and Yes definately,
My findings are inconclusive. I did track down rom relation, even updated camera app from one rom to another, didnt work, in that one instance.
Havent tested kernels thought, they could also be different.
That centerweighed to matrix worked for me, but changed the yellow circle to a matrix lmao
Good luck bug hunting

[Q] Dialer FC's all the time

Good evening everyone.
I have been using ICS ROMS for the past 5 or so months and I am generally very happy with my Galaxy S. However, there seems to be one issue that i assume many other people probably face.
The Stock dialer FC's a lot! And I mean A LOT. If I leave the t9 function on, it FC's every time I reopen the dialer to make a call. If I disable t9, it crashes every 10 phonecalls.
This bug exists in all the ICS ROMs I have tried and it makes me wonder whether I am the only one this is happening to, or if there other people out there.
BTW I am currently using Tiramisu Rom with Semaphore 0.91 kernel.
Thanks for any help,
Tepes4
I can join to this question, and that its not related to kernel.

I know it is not the kernel, and also it is not the ROM. I have tried all the ICS variants that exist and this issue is present in every single one of them.
I even tried switching to another dialer but that is not a solution obviously...

Black border on the screen

Hi,
Today when i check my phone the display was not filling the entire screen. there seems to be a black border.. .i.e the display is 1 mm shorter than the actual screen size.... i dont think it was there before today... but may be i dint notice...
can u guys confirm if u too have the same kinda display ?
erhm,yes,same here.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
Are you getting this in all the apps and even on the homescreen as well? If your not getting it.. then I would suffice that it is just that app that your running now that might not be optimized completely on the screen grids/borders of your Note.
Now if your getting this as well in all of your apps including the homescreen/lockscreen.. My second question then would be... are you on stock ICS ROM or on a custom one?
Some custom ROMS have some light blue border that is faintly visible when your trying to look at it. Nothing of a big deal though (to me in particular) as I know this is just a ROM (and therefore a software) issue and not on the hardware one (which would give me much more of a headache if that really happens)

[Q] Pink spot on photos

With ICS my photos end up with a pink/redish sphere in the middle of the photo.
With GB no!
I have view same problem on others phones (Sansung Note, Galaxy II), all have ICS!!
I think the problem is in google camera's code
Does anyone else experience this?
I experienced that also in cm10 camera but mine is purple color even on focus/out-of-focus
I think it's in the flash because i tried to take photos with and without flash
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2
I have downgrade my phone to GB and the photo back to normal, i try to install GB camera on ICS but it's fail.
Of course it will fail we need to wait someone to modified cm10/ics camera
I think it's over exposure because of the flash
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk 2
It could be the heat from the CPU which is causing this.
No, i haven't any problems with gingerbread, it's a bug software!

I have the same issue, and I would agree with you, because the problem is evident with any of the 6 different camera apps I tried, not just a stock ICS camera. It looks like some OS component providing the sensor data to a camera app is buggy. I am not a developer, so I have no idea what part of code that would be, but to my understanding camera apps don't talk to hardware directly...
And, BTW, this issue has nothing to do with flash overexposure, as previously suggested, because it's clearly visible on photos taken without flash...
Edit: Forgot to add one thing that I find a bit weird... In my case, this "pink spot" is only visible on photos taken in average natural light (like on a cloudy day, i.e. not bright). However, if I take pictures in a bright sunlight, or under artificial lighting (incandescent or CFL), or with flash, they turn our great, with no such artefacts. Go figure...
I tried other phones with ics and seems to be a common problem in low light, does not happen with sunlight.
Should compare the code jni between gingerbread and ics, i think.
I'm a Java developer but i'm develop j2ee/flash web applications.

D4 Carbon ROM

I saw this in another forum
http://goo.im/devs/carbon/maserati/nightly
I have currently have 6 ROMs on the root of my card and this one as of late has been my fav. Since I didnt see it on XDA for the D4 I figured I would post something about it. Here is the link to the page the has the specs about this rom and it has a link to Carbons page on GitHub.
Hope everyone in this community enjoys this rom and happy rooting.
The only place I saw this (at the time) was on goo.im.
Thanks for this, it's better then vanilla cm but with a little extra.
Hopefully now this will get more attention.

I saw an option to send at a different interval...
try increasing it to say 4 messages or 5 messages
... this way you will send more text instead of MMS.

I have never had an issue with this...
Although users with GSM will...
It is sent out differently I believe.
Liquid is ok, although I do not use
anything higher then either 2.2 or 2.4.
This ROM so far is the best Ive run on my D4, after trying AOKP, Liquid, Avatar, and CM. The only issue I've run into, and I have never encountered before, is that my google contacts don't sync. Also on that note I can not edit, or create new contacts in the "people" app. I've downloaded another contact manager and am unable to edit or create in that one too. The contact editor will pop up then disappear in a matter of half a second. I have tried flashing the ROM on top of itself again, and also reinstalling gapps after wiping delvik cache. The rom is installed in slot-1 and I only have an AOKP rom installed in slot-2. Has anybody else experienced similar issues and had it resolved? I really don't want to go to another ROM after trying this one.
thank you for reading!
It is a shame this doesnt get more attention. This is a superb rom. I have more stability and functionality with this than CM or AOKP. Loved pacman's options of everything, but it was not stable either. This one just works! People really need to try this one out

I'm using Carbon and I'm loving it. No problems with flickering here. Did you do full wipe before reboot? This is the first thing to double check if anything is wrong.

what is the difference on this page?
you have the carbon zip file and then the 2nd link shows 4.2.2.
in the 2nd file (4.2.2) there are about 15 other links.... what are these files? are they updates for the carbon zip file?
Do you know if Carbon has to be installed on rom-slot1?

I think it does. If you flash it, there is a warning in the flashing screen about ROM slot 1.
Anyway, one of the most stable ROM I've ever used.
There is an annoying bug with setting CPU maximum frequency (not sure if anyone else experiences it) but it can be fixed by using "profiles" on SetCPU

Hi Folks,
I'm running Carbon too and I'm loving it. Believing that it's not available on Goo anymore (as AFAIK Goo.im folded), you can grab a copy from my Google Drive:

Hi there. I'm looking for the Carbon ROM and tried your google drive links without success. It would be great if you could let me know if they are still active and, if not, where it is possible to find the Carbon ROM for a Motorola Droid 4? Cheers. Bernard
I believe I have it ...
I'll upload it tomorrow.

[Q] Fix for Asylum CM10.2 screen flicker on web browser

Hello
I just flashed Asylum's CM10.2 build and i noticed i'm having terrible screen flicker or sometimes this big black bar blocks the entire top of the browser. It's remarkably annoying. When i scroll, the screen flickers as well. While i can browse, the experience is ruined. I didn't have this problem with 4.2.2. While i could go back to 4.2.2, i would like to know if anyone has this problem or if you had it, how did you fix it? I tried looking for solutions online but no luck.
Thank you very much

This is a known cm10.2 issue and affects all 10.2 roms. Browser and certain apps turn black and flicker etc. You can try chrome, it doesnt flicker at all. Else u might want to switch to 4.2.2 until this issue gets fixed.
Go read the cm10.2 thread in general section. There are fixes there

Didn't really find the fix, but I was triggered by someones remark in that thread.
In Developer Options I had Disable Hardware Overlays untagged. I tagged it, which solved the flicker-issue for me on both Xperia Z and Xperia Tablet Z.
Not sure if it works for you since I have a Sony instead of a Samsung, but worth a try.
