Dear all,
I am a proud owner of this phone for a few days now, but I noticed that the camera stretches the picture on the top. Let me try to explain, so when I take a picture of a person then the forehead is abnormally stretched... of course not only with the head, but everything...
Is it normal? or Faulty camera?
you can see it on the attachments..

You should try with a full wipe and see if that persist... I Don't think that it is an hardware related problem

full wipe = factory reset?
The front camera does the same tho.... it seems like a filter, for distorting..

It is a tradeoff that happens with the choice to go with a widescreen lense (maybe their is a more accurate way of saying that?). If you compare the One with any other phone (that I know of) you will see that it gets much more into the picture when held horizontally. The tradeoff to this is that pictures look stretched when taken in portrait mode. So what you are seeing is normal.
I agree that I don't like the stretching, but man is it nice being able to get so much I to a picture when you hold the phone horizontally.

Not anymore, I took back the phone and got an s4 at least I can find out now which one is better
Thanks for the help
Check out this picture as an example. I was the only one in the room that was able to get this picture. Maybe if the wall went back a couple feet, someone else could get the same picture without cutting people right next to them out.
So, sucks a bit to stretch pictures out in portrait, but this is pretty damn cool.

I have to say that I checked my camera and I don't see anything like in zimilaci's video. So for me it actually doesn't look normal.
I don't know why my wide angle photos show a fish-eye type distortion where only the part where the photo is focussed is clear and everything else seeps into a slight blur.
Feature not a bug. It *is* a wide angle lens. Wide angle lenses start to exhibit fish eye distortion the wider they go. Anything in the corners of the frame is not going to be orthogonal. End of story.
If you think it's bad on the back camera, try the front facing camera lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260286

I am not quite sure anymore... a friend mine told me that she did not encounter any distortion.... I will check today other devices as well...
its not that annoying...or mabye ? its only the front camera, and a bit with the rear....
HTc online support told me it a faulty device, but both cameras?
Come on...
Go over to Android Central. They mentioned this effect in their review of the camera.

Then my question is, how come that the official HTC support said its not normal?
or its only one of the technicians?
Hey all, I just got my Moto X Developer Edition in the mail today, and I've noticed that the camera is not centered in the lens. It's not way off, but it's not where I think it should be.
If you look at the back lens of your phone, is the camera module centered, or is it off a little?
I just want to know if this is a defect or not so I can take the appropriate course of action.
Thank you!

mine looks centered but i didn't measure it. if it is a defect i believe that means the cover and the HW attached to the camera would both have to be off center, so i doubt its a defect.

The glass itself is obviously centered. The camera hardware behind the glass appears off center. If it is, and nobody else is experiencing this phenomenon, then it would be a defect, right?
Hopefully it isn't.

ya mine seems centered to me. didn't realize thats what you were talking about, but yes that seems like it could be a defect. wait for others to comment (assuming they will) because i could just be wrong about the centered stuff.
actually just looked at it a little harder twisting it around and stuff, thought for a second mine was off centered, then realize it was just how i was tilting the phone. It caused a really dark shadow that made it look like it was off center even though I don't think mine is, but now my eyes are just tricking me. so im stopping. just thought id say this in case you are holding it weird like i just did.
Mine appears to be perfectly centered.
Phuck.
The camera module might somehow be moved a little under the glass. It shouldn't affect performance though, unless maybe it doesn't point straight.
Thanks for the input everyone. This baby is going back.
Love the phone, though. The only thing I hate is the ABYSMAL camera. Luckily I don't use phone cameras often.

take a pic before you send it off. and post it. i want to see what you are talking about.
I have a T-Mobile model (XT1053) and the camera is slightly off centered. I don't notice any performance or quality issues.
I have a Moto X with an off center camera as well. I attached an image of what it looks like. No performance issues, just a little ugly.
I have the exact same problem!!!
That sucks let me tell you. It's a new phone I just receive because my previous one had a gyroscope problem!!
So I'm going to put back my sim card back in my old Galaxy S1 and return that Moto X back again!! Unless Motorola doesn't want!
I'll try to post a picture too before returning it... and let you know if I was able to return it.
Thanks
EDIT: Motorola accepted to replace the phone again, at no shipping cost...
I don't know why but the quality is better from my Google+ post: https://plus.google.com/+MathieuLaf...6054695484721010610&oid=118106640376957666598
Anyone figure out where this green hue in the center of the frame of the camera is coming from? I have one of the galaxy gears with the hole covered up so its not moisture i don't think.
I don't have a green hue. Post a picture please!

Here you go.
That sure is a green hue! That sucks man, I'm sorry. Have you taken any pictures of the Sun, or bright like a welding arc? It's defiantly not moisture.
If you recently purchased it, try to get it warrantied where you got it. Otherwise you'll have to send it to Samsung for warranty repair.

Nope never taken a pic of the sun or while someone was welding. This is actually the second one I have had do this.
Wow this is the second time it happened? That really sucks! I've had mine since Xmas and no problem here. I've only seen this happen on old ccd cameras. Usually happened when exposed to bright light. Or a burn in from viewing the same thing for a long time. Like a security camera with a window on view. I'm sorry you found 2 bad apples in the group.
i have similar issue, but it comes and go.. there are days when pictures are taken normally.
i won't return mine for warranty, i think they would replace it with the new product!

I took a picture outside and this is what i got. Now, I am confused. That chunk missing was an edit i made but the hue is gone.
Alright everybody does anybody know how the moment case and lenses are going to work with a dual camera set up?? Curious if it will only work on one camera?
Pre-Order Link just came out today for it
https://www.shopmoment.com/shop/photo-case/note-8/black
If you look at the photo, it looks like there are mounts over both cameras, so I would assume that it will work with both cameras.
Thanks for posting this, I missed the announcement and was wondering if they'd make a mount/case for the Note 8.

Yeah I also noticed that but did not know how it would interact just wondering if anybody knew anything or had video of it. I mean note has a wide angle already will the wide lens make it like double that? LOL sorry just trying to figure out if i should order!
And no problem I have been really wanting to try one. Was going to get one for my pixel 2 xl but screen was too blue for me so guess I will try on note!
From my experience the lens screws into the case and sits flush to the camera. The Note 8 "wide" lens is actually not extremely wide, so there shouldn't be any vignetting or image quality problems.
The optics of the Moment lenses are superb, and yeah, the wide angle lens will make the view super wide!
I've had the Moment lenses since they were introduced and their customer support is always good and willing to help.

hopefully so the wide will become an impressive wide, wider then other phones out there. i guess i could probably watch youtube video on the dual camera iphones i am sure somebody has a review of those on there
Hello, everyone,
I've had my Moto G6 for about 2 days and everything is fine, but I've noticed a strange issue with the LCD panel.
There appear to be small, green/red pixels all over the screen as if someone poured glitter all over it. These pixels are noticeable on darker colors and even more so on black. Some of them are twinkling as well. There are thousandd of them and they seem to be increasing (but that could just be my imagination). Now that I've seen them, I can't unsee them.
Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me? Any solutions? I'd hate to have to return this already.
EDIT: I went back to Best Buy today and exchanged for another one, and the new phone's screen doesn't have any bothersome imperfections.
I havent' seen this problem. Do you have another camera that could capture what you're seeing?

I'd try and take a better picture, but since they're so dim, I had to be really close. You can still kind of see them around the middle. It's a lot easier to see in real life.

Hmm... Yeah I don't think that's normal. I'd contact Motorola and look into getting a replacement.

I already went back to Best Buy to exchange my old G6 for this one and it doesn't have that issue, so it's all good.
