Stripes taking photos on htc kaiser

I have a htc Kaiser and there is a problem with the external 3Mp camera. When you start the application to take photos, then appears two parallel stripes, one half yellow hald red, and other below half green half blue. This happens only in the external ( 3 Mp ) camera, not in the 3g one. How I can fix it ????

Clean the lense

I have the same problem.
Tried cleaning the lens, didn't work.
Hard reset didn't work either.
Seems like a hardware fault with the camera.

Wait, are you saying they appear in the "viewfinder" of the app, or the actual photos?
Post an example shot please?

Mostly, It's cameras bug.

Was that supposed to be an answer to my question or a response to someone else?
Really, it's not possible to say whether this is an unusual "feature" or a bug without more info. The way the original poster describes it, it sounds like it might be some unusual framing assist feature in the live preview. No one seems to be willing to say whether it is in the previews or if it is in the actual pictures taken. (I know I have seen the Kaiser pictures thread, and they look pretty good other than some obvious deficiencies in the debayering algorithm that cause "maze" patterns to appear in certain situations, which is a common problem with some of the older/simpler debayering algorithms.)

yes, good question. does it look like this when you view it on your computer, or is it only when it's sized down on your device?

I can see the stripes while taking the picture and they are also part of the saved image. Viewed on the TyTN II and on a PC.
The camera was working fine then all of a sudden just started showing stripes.
Attached are some photos.
Looks like i might have to send the TyTN II for repair.
I also noticed that when you take the battery cover off, it seems like the camare can be taken out, so it may have moved and not making a good contact.

lol my first glance and it looked like you were targeting things with a crosshair. yea thats different than the lines i hought you were talking about, you need to send that back for repair.

Yeah, definately something wrong there, likely broken hardware.

Also I have the same problemna!

This happened to mine too, after working fine for about a month. Seems like a common problem, interesting it shows up after time too. I sent mine in for repair/replacement but it may happen again....

Even my own, for a month everything was ok, then is the line appeared

Same Problem
My camera also did this. I changed the flicker adjustment in the camera settings to 60 hz from auto and it went away, only to reappear again. Again, I changed the flicker adjustment, this time to aut, and it went away again. Very strange. It appears I can paly with the flicker adjustment in the camera settings and make it go away, at least for a while. It appears to be a common problem, likely software related.

i too
hi i too experiance the same problem.......
is there any one to help us... please post a geniune reply to our problem

auto-focus problem with the camera

Hi guys... i'm new in this forum and i'm a brazilian, so sorry for my bad english
I've got my tytn some weeks ago, but i have a little problem... When I take any photos with the back camera (the 3.0mp one), it always ends up VERY blurred. I've noted that before pressing half-camera button, the camera image is nice, but when i take the photo or press half button, the camera image begins to blur. So, i think this is some problem with the auto-focus feature.
A curious note is that when i take/focus photos from very close (aprox 2-5cm from the camera), doesn't show any blur at all... but more far than that it gets completely blurred. And before doing any focusing, the camera picture isn't blurred at all.
The front camera photos don't get blurred because they haven't got any auto-focus, so the pics are shot instantenously.
Anybody has any idea of how fix that blur in the back camera? or at least how to deactivate the auto-focus so i can take some pic from distance?
Oh yes, i already cleaned the lens from inside and outside.
Thank everybody for the patience, and sorry for the bad english

try taking the battery cover off and take the photo and see how it comes off, they use cheap plastic on the camera cover and it gets a film of somesort on it and causes the pics to come out blurry

Yeah, i've tried that, but the photo still come blurred without the battery cover.
If you guys want, i can take some photos and upload them so you guys can see the blurred photos.

What ROM, or camera build are you using.

I use an original WM 6.1 rom, build 3.28.405.0 WWE from date 05/02/08
My radio is version 1.65.17.56
Just a note, this rom was flashed, my original rom was a 6.0 one with radio version 1.26.xx and rom build 1.7xxx from 2007 (i can't remember)
but even with the out of the box rom, the camera wasn't right, I think (I haven't used the camera until a little time ago)

BAD HTC autofocus
I have exactly the same problem with my Polaris Htc!! Please find a solution!!!I tried everything to resolve it but nothing worked. SOme people say it is a hardware problem, but i hope it is a software problem...
Please help me!!!
Thanks for all
Fishos

try updating your camera app to this one
Nadavi's Camera
make sure u install HTC album first or else the Camera app will show a black screen while taking pics.
Also make sure your environment is well light and hold the camera still while takings pics, HTC didnt exactly make the best camera for this phone.

i had the exact same problem with my htc kaiser.
after 1 1/2 year, i decided to send it back to t-mobile to have it replaced due to a hardware warranty issue. the knew about the problem. there seems to be something wrong with the lense/sensor the auto-fokus uses. dunno.
about 2 days later i got my replacement tilt (refurbished one), reflashed to a anryl wm6.5 rom i used before and now the picture are way better
so you might try to get yours replaced.

The point is: your autofocus does not keep its parameters while the image is shot. Try hard resetting Kaiser, then install Nadavi's patch mentioned above, add latest HTC Camera and welcome!
P.S. If you do really need a cam in your Kaiser, switch to Android. Some builds support the camera, but it is... manual. I mean, you focus with a scroller wheel: far from perfect, but in some 50 pics taken you'll be into it quite nicely.

set the camera button to take the picture immediately and not full press

[HELP] Camera quality dropped drastically

Hi guys, really need some help here.
The old shots are from around April, and the Current are from the past month odd (even though this problem has been around for the past 3 odd).
As you can see the picture quality is horrible - and the lens is clean. I don't know if this could be a software issue / setting - i did try do a full restore of my phone, but nadda! (Close up shots do look a little better - as you can see below)
Currently running CM6 RC3.
Please help!! Has anyone experience the same?
(First three shots are current, last three are old)
Thanks,

To me they just seem like out of focus. Might sound like a stupid question, but did you go through your camera settings?
Also, try reflashing the ROM without wiping. You'll keep all the settings, but if something is wrong, it might just get fixed.

I know you say that the lens is clean, but that looks _exactly_ like my shots when I had a smudged lens.
Clean it with rubbing alcohol, both the outside plastic on the back-cover and the lens itself.

Telephoto camera issue

Hello Guys,
I seem to have a strange "software" issue when taking photos with the camera in live focus mode or phtoto at 2x optical zoom, a strange mark seems to appear when using the telephoto lens, see attached photo.
I know there no stain on my lens as the mark seems to disappear when rotating phone downwards and would appear again once phone is rotated to original position!
Anyone else have this issue?
I am on latest july security update (noticed on June update as well) on UK firmware, XEU.

Issue resolved after performing a factory reset.
I can only presume that the issue may have occurred due to dirty flashing the monthly updates with substratum overlays?

I suspect a dirty lens more than that a dirty flash(lol).
you might have something under the lense glass... and it just went away. if you shake ure phone maybe it will come back?

As detailed in the original post, I called it a "software" issue as the mark would temporarily disappear if I pointed the phone downwards and re-appear in exactly the same spot.
Edit: first reaction was obviously to thoroughly clean the lens and issue was still there!
But anyway, all good now after the reset.

It's likely that your phone switched back to the primary lens due to a change in lighting conditions when you pointed it downward, which made the speck of dirt on the telephoto lens temporarily disappear from view.

i did say UNDER the lens glass so cleaning it would mean opening the device. but it really looks like some sort of plastic. the lense is actualy loose if you shake your phone a bit with the camera off, you will feel it move. so either the lense housing had some sort of plastic flake from the molding during fabrication that wasn't cleant properly or some other foreign object is in there and is moving around.if it would have been a digital thing, i wouldn't have expected a shape that is rounded like that and isbjustbin one spot instead of a whole line or lines. but anyways if its gone now then good. if it comes back consider you might have a floatie in the device.

I have had the phone for 9-10 months and only noticed the issue after the last two security updates.
I am convinced that it was a software issue. For example, if I am not wrong, the telephoto lens is used during 2x optical zoom and in live focus mode only. During testing the mark would temporarily disappear when pointing the phone in a downward or upward motion, and then it would re-appear after a few seconds (2x mode mode only).
Also, the mark would re-appear only after a few second when it was back in normal position in 2x optical mode.
Strangely, in live focus mode the mark would not disappear and it was there all the time.
I should have recorded a video to show the behaviour, but since I did not get any response initially, I decided to do a factory reset to confirm if my suspicion was correct.
Note: The mark disappeared straight away after a software factory reset which involved just holding the phone in my hands and going through the software process...prior to that the mark would not disappear no matter what I did!
Anyway, thank you for your responses.

Question Problem with purple-pink hue on the main Camera - S21 Ultra Exynos

Hi,
I've noticed pink spot/hue issue in the middle of photos taken by main camera my S21 Ultra (Exynos version).
I've checked that some condition must be met to recreate the problem:
- photo must be taken indoor when sunrise appear (but it should be dimm in the room not bright)
- photo taken outside when is cloudy (there is no sun)
- the light must be natural
- on gray and green (khaki) surfaces defect is more visible
Do you also have this problem?
I was send phone to service center twice:
first time camera module was replaced - unfortunately the defect remained
second time - the service stated that the phone and camera is functional
P. S. - laser AF is not a cause - I've covered up and hue still exists.
I've searched forums and found similar problem with xperia z3, htc, galaxy s5 .
I dont know if this is normal, or maybe software update will fix the problem or maybe this is hardware failure?
Really...don't know what to do anymore.

Have you tried to replicate the results using another camera app? If it looks the same, then it's not software.

Yes - hue was visible in other applications as well as in the service menu.

Definitely a hardware issue buddy... Keep trying with Samsung, print the images you showed us here and give them with the phone so they can see directly and not test it barely and not notice...

@nevellan
Good to see that you created this thread.
I've been noticing the same too from the beginning. Enquiring further, I noticed the same in two other units later. (All Exynos).
I did not /do not see the pink hue when the laser AF is covered.
However, my concern is why to have the pink hue in certain lighting condition irrespective of laser AF is covered or not! This is an issue.

... have also noticed that the pink hue disappears when focus enhancer is ON.

Pink Hue dissapers when focus enhancer is ON,becuase then is used wide camera not main (108 MP).

Try to hide the laser lens..if you still have this , it's a faulty main lens .

Not sure*.
Could be firmware.
Try:
Clearing the system cache
Clear cam data
Hard reboot.
Check cam settings; excessive contrast or saturation could cause it.
A factory reset will do nothing more than likely.
*test to see if it's purple fringing with some high contrast images ie backlit subjects

I did everything you suggested many times - it didn't help.
Covering laserfocus doesn't help either.

not at all...

I'm having a similar problem with a purple patch in the middle of the shot but only when photographing black objects in less than ideal light conditions, particularly black materials. The problem exists with the main camera and wide angle, Zooms seem ok. The problem also exists using GCAM. If I force flash there is no problem. Doesn't seem to be an issue in any other circumstances. Strange. S21 U Exynos 16gb.

I ve noticed this too, but only on the gray colors. I am up to date with the software version, july patch. Exynos 256 GB.

Plus, i haven t notice this thing until seeing this thread and tried to photo something gray, so i think this is not a big deal.

Ignorance is bliss

Looks like only Exynos devices are plagued with this defect, one more reason to pass on this problematic SoC.
