[Q] Camera Problem: Dead or stuck pixels - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have noticed that i have few dead or stuck pixels on my htc one camera. There are few pink or purple pixels that are shown on my screen while i use camera and they are on photos too so i am thinking that there is problem with camera senzor. Is there anyone else who is having this problem, and would HTC accept my claim and give me new headset.
Here are the pictures that are showing my problem.

Definitely a hardware problem. Set your device back to stock (unroot, S-on,..) and send it back to HTC!

interestingly, I was posting about a similar issue yesterday. However, in my case it's a bright pixel, I think, that only shows on camera app. Just make sure your bad pixels really show in pictures as at first I thought that that was my case too, until I discovered that, camera turned off, the bright pixel slowly fades away..

try to zoom in to see if pixel moving, if do means is a defective camera

The pixels are moving so it's definitely a hardware problem but i want to know would HTC repair my phone or give me a new one because i don't want unibody phone that has been opened.

With Amoled, is it possible to have a lit dead pixel

Hello everybody.
As said in the title, my question is :
With Amoled, is it possible to have a lit dead pixel ?
Thank you for your answers.
Have you tested on your phone for dead pixels ? or just speculating ?

Dead pixel means permanently unlit.
Stuck pixel means permanently lit.
is there any way to fix stuck pixels?

By running an app such as Pixel Curer or Dead Pixel Detect and Fix located here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.xllusion.app.pixelcurer&feature=related_apps
Or
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect&feature=also_installed
Though removing the dead/stuck pixels is not guaranteed it's worth a try running the above programs.
The only other alternative is buying a new screen.
Best of luck.

I am speculating because I'm planning to have my screen changed because of banding issue, but I would not like to have a stuck pixel on the new screen.

I personally would not risk it....bandings are not as bad as dead pixels.
Dead pixels, sure. But I wouldn't expect an AMOLED screen to be able to have a stuck pixel, in the traditional sense. It it had a pixel that stayed on, I would expect that to be an electrical issue, via a short somehow causing a pixel to get charge when it shouldn't. Stuck pixels on LCD screens are essentially a mechanical issue. The apps that fix them do so by switching those pixels rapidly until they get "unstuck". There is no mechanical action to an AMOLED screen. If a display somehow had a pixel that was always lit, I don't see how any app could fix that.

Banding is generally a software issue, not a hardware issue.

[Q] Bad quality on photos even after the camera update

Hi
I'm having problems with the camera.
I bought a Moto x three weeks ago and noticed that sometimes (often), when taking pictures, somo red and blue stripes appear while and after taking the photo. Those stripes appear and desapear. The only way of getting rid of them is to focus the camera for a long time (like 5 or more seconds) and even if they desapear, sometimes they come back
I thouht my phone was damaged so I claimed my warranty and they gave me a new one last thursday but the new one has the same problem.
Is anyone experiencing this problem too?
I'm not sure if it's a general problem or if I should go back and claim the warranty again .
Here is an example of a photo taken on my room with the lights on to a white paper.
I forgot to say that sometimes the stripes are not red and blue. Instead they are gray like in the picture I attached.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Yes. It happens for me when I have a fluorescent light in the room. I tested this on demos at the store and same thing.
So I assume this is a general problem. That makes me feel realy upset with the phone.
I hope some update fix this.
Love the camera on this phone! Am I the only one?
I saw this at the Verizon store on two different Moto X's. I have also seen this on my Nexus 4, but only under some settings in FV5 (never with stock camera app). Guessing it is a software issue but it is definitely a little disconcerting.
For those experiencing the issue, make sure your a squeaky wheel about it to Motorola if you want to see it fixed.

Love may be a strong word here. I think the X can take some really good pics, in the right lighting. But if you are in a low light situation, pics are garbage...lots of noise. The camera is the ONLY reason I miss my Samsung devices, they took really good pics.

this seems like a banding issue to me, which i'm surprised the camera app doesn't include a setting to eliminate. try a different camera app, like camerazoom fx to see if you can correct the problem with software. if it doesnt go away, it may be worth replacing.
I take a lot of pics indoors and they are terrible. No complains about photos taken outside.
I would not care using another app if I could keep the twist to activate thing : /

[Q] [camera] pink spot

hello guys, is anyone experiencing this issue with both the z3c cameras? i've noticed that the problem seems to be partially related to the white balance and exposure and it's also a common deal with many other smartphones and tablets cameras (not just sony branded ones). i've tried with all the shooting modes possible and with 3th part camera apps as well but the pink spot at the center of the picture is still there.
i was wondering if it was a common issue (software maybe) or my unit was damaged,in this case i will give my device back to sony.
here some samples:
Looks exactly like the pink spot in my Z2 tablet's pictures.
Here is your answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/questions-belong-t2868300
I'm having the same issue and apparently Clove doesn't cover return shipping costs which is pretty frustrating.
EDIT: it also seems to disappear later in the day.
Got my Z3C today, no pink spot on mine.
I'm getting the Pink Spot too, but I think it only started happening after I dunked my phone in the water...
degraaff, can you take a photo of something white? Thanks!

This is a common "problem" the camera app and post-processing will almost remove it. To see it go in diagnostics (you have to switch the developer mode) and thn camera, so you see unprocessed camera picture. I don't think it is a defect, most smartphones suffer from it.

Hoping that Sony will fix it somehow, as I am planning to get a Z3C too..
Have it on HTC one too. It should be the ISO value in dark
Questions dont belong in General discussion

But it is related to the design of the sensor, iPhone also exhibit it some more than others but it is normally corrected by the software as it is normal.
Apparently mine does also have a pink spot, ever so slightly in my test picture:
I'm also getting the pink spot.
Has Sony officially said anything about this issue yet?
I just bought the phone 2 days ago...I'm gonna see if I can get it exchanged.

Htc One M7 blurry camera

Ok guys, so after 6 months of a use my rear facing (back/main) camera started to take really blurry pictures.
Until now it worked like a charm, taking some amazing shots. But all of a suden, today, it takes awfull pictures.
Close ups aren't bad, but that distance pictures...
How can i fix problem? I tried factory reset, updating camera app, using 3d party camera app, cleaning the lense... and nothing worked... any suggestions? Thanks...

Yes, it looks like it's hardware issue. Replacement cost 20 euros where i live, says the guy in the store. Im just sceptical about opening the device, will he damage it because these phones are sealed and any force used into opening them can cause damages..
This ultrapixel technology really iritates

I feel the same about giving the phone to some random guy to open it up. As for ultra pixel - I just love it. My other M7 has amazing camera. I wouldn't change it for anything

Not really. Try to to reflash stock firmware or if you don't want to waste time just buy a new camera it is 10-15$

Phone is still in warranty, so probably will get it replaced
Service centre folks agreed it's hardware issue and mentioned lot of guys are facing it.
Replacement on the way now.
Really concerned about the quality of the components on this flagship device.
Within a year i have got 2 hardware replacement, first motherboard now camera.
