at least I expect the issue to be with camera sensor: there is a really bright pixel or something resembling that, only visible in the camera app on the left side of the screen. Of course it is much more obvious when shooting dark scenes. Fortunately it doesn't show in the pictures but still bothering me.
Is there any way to fix this?

Hi
Recently in seeing red spot on pics I'm taking using default camera like ones I've uploaded. Is it any hardware issue or is it just because of the light from the object. Any idea?

Since it's not in the same spot, i guess it's the light. If it was a hardware issue, it would occur most likely in the same spot on every picture. Try taking photos in different lighting, with flash etc. and check if it's still there.
So I've received my HTC One and I am extremely pleased with it, there's just two questions that need clearing up for me.
The camera lens cover is a bit tilted. I have no idea if the actual sensor is also tilted or if it isolated to the glass. It seems off to me but does not seem to impact image quality, but should I get it replaced?
The camera also seems to make some sort of a click noise when I start it. Is this normal or is my One further defect?
Thanks!
U not the only one man..till now I still don't now is it a factory difect or what.

That's not right. Get it replaced.
I always have this purplish hue surrounding the edges when in the camera app. It's specially noticeable when I'm taking pictures in low light.
Plus when I cover the lens with my hand, rather than going black. It becomes red :/

I have the exact same issue in low light. Would be great to hear if that's normal for most or not.

It's an already known issue, has to do with the sensor being extremely sensitive. No need to worry
My brother has the One as well and it doesbt happen to his one. Plus when I do side by side shots of the same thing, his Camera takes better crisper pictures :what:
So my camera has had some weird issues with the pictures it's taking. One is that when I take pictures, some of the pictures will have a lot of yellow tinting towards the left side of the screen, and some will even have entire yellow bars across the bottom left of the screen. Also, when I'm in the camera app and I pan over something that is black, red pixels start to flash all over the area. Does this happen to anyone else? Anyways, here are some pictures of the yellow tinting and bars in the pictures I'm taking. What can I do to fix this? Should I go use my warranty and tell them that I have a faulty camera? Thanks for your input.

bump. does anyone else notice the yellowness on the left side of the pictures?
So I might be getting another replacement One, and I'm wondering if the new Omnivision modules that they've started using are any good.. I was reading the specs on the website (model: OV4688) and it seems that it doesn't offer OIS, it says Electronic Image Stabilization on their website. Also, I read somewhere that they're very poor in low light.. Anyone got proof to back these up? Any pictures to show the differences between these? Also, any difference in the mic audio quality between the old and new batches?

So I wrote about this in one of the purple camera fix threads. First I'll see I haven't noticed any puple/pink hues in any pics in lowlight. It seems to be performing well in that area. I also don't have a pink spot in the middle.
Occasionally in the outer edges I might notice some green tint in low light - particularly in rooms that have a shade of green in them already. It doesn't however grow and get worse. Its just the outer fringes. When I switch the camera from wide to regular crop it pretty much goes away. If not, its easily fixed with a quick touchup by adjusting the saturation with a custom effect in the gallery or just using aviary and the one click color fix. Also you can avoid it all together by adjusting saturation down a notch in the camera settings before taking a pic.
However.....what I have noticed is that in indoor lighting, even good lighting, the video recording frames per second maxes out at like 19-20. This is kind of a bummer. I mean I've turned on a all the lights in a really well lit room and could not achieve what I could in fps compared to the old sensor. I've tried different camera apps and they all max out at 19-20 in these light conditions, which tells me that its most likely set in the kernel. I wonder if this sensor has not been optimized fully by HTC yet. I think they've worked with three different sensors so far: ST electronics, Sharp, and Omnivision. Perhaps its hard to accomidate them all in the kernel - but I'm just speculating. there.
My compromise is to shoot indoor video at the 60fps mode, because that caps out indoors at 40fps.
I've fully tested video outdoors and even this morning indoors when there was no artificial light source and it recorded at a full 30 fps.
If what I think is true - that its not fully optimized at the kernel level it could be something HTC can push out in an update. Perhaps its hard for them to try to support 3 different sensors and find a balance...But this is just speculation on my part. Now I've lived in the same house and conditions for the past year and the old sensor had an edge up on fps than the Omni. I looked at some old videos shot indoors last night and fps was hovering around 29-30. So far this is my only gripe.
A note about the Sensor:
Early on Brian at AnandTech when he reviewed the One talked a bit about the Sensor HTC used when building the first Ones, and he also compared the ST sensor to the Omnivision sensor, because that Omni made its debut at the 2013 CES. Here is his review:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6747/htc-one-review/5
I find it interesting that 2 companies made identical sensors, ST and Omnivision according to Brian.
Overall I'm happy I sent my device in and had the sensor replaced, because in the end, no amount of quick photo tools or photoshop would help the purple tint issue.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info!
I've been enjoying my Note 4 for a day now, until I tried to take photos tonight. I can get sharp focus on objects closer than 3 feet consistently, even in low light. All camera apps are behaving the same, so I'm testing in the Instagram app since it has a red/green focus confirmation indicator. Anything farther away and it's out of focus. In bright light, you can't tell, since the lens is stopped down (increasing depth of field), but in dim light, focus is obviously blurry on distant objects. Has anyone experienced this? Most likely I have a defective camera, no?

You did peel the plastic off the lens right?. Post a pic .

experiencing this aswell, anyone got a fix?

I'm almost certain it was defective. I returned it and got another and it does not have this problem at all.
Taking mine back too. Doesn't focus even when I tap on screen.
