Problem with flash and night camera pictures? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, got my XZ few days ago and i noticed problem with my camera. When taking pictures with Night Portrait light from the flash enters the picture at the right side as shown here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and
So that's only case with pictures where objects are far from my camera, this is also Night Portrait but with object nearer camera, looks like there isnt that light from the flash at the right of the picture.
Anyone else has the same problem? Is this normal?

If you have a cover, take it off and try again
If not, then I don't know

Yes, i do have, but it's same when cover is off. :/

Q1) Do you have screen protector for the back? if yes, go to Q2 else go to Q3
Q2) Does your back screen protector have a opening for the LED flash too? if yes, go to Q3 if no, then it is because since there is no opening for the LED flash, means that the flash is reflected by the screen protect to the camera....
Q3) Is your finger very near to the camera? This could cause the light to reflect back to the camera as well... Else i am not sure...

Camera with Pink Screen. PLZ Help

Did this happen to any one. I was using my camera to record video in the dark. Suddenly the screen of the camera turned a pink color. If i turn the light on it goes away, but when i turn the light off, the screen goes pink again and it takes pink pictures in the dark. Its only happens when I have the camera on and only on the main back facing camera. Did any one else deal with this and was able to fix it?
Here is day and night pictures.

There's already a major thread dedicated to this problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507

I'd be more concerned with the lack of focus in your pictures. I've just sent mine back because it took blurry shots like yours all the time, unless I did a close up/Macro.

Not the charging / notification light.. I have another one constantly on!

Any idea what this is? Top of phone has that orange and green charging / notification light which shows up as a tiny dot in one of those little holes.
My phone has a green light that's constantly on for the past week or so on the bottom in one of the little holes directly below the H in HTC.

Got a photo?
Well, no.. because I only have my cell phone camera. I could have a relative snap a photo tomorrow while I am over for Christmas, but just as easy to draw the dot on myself:

Look under the H at the bottom. I'm pretty sure I've never seen this on until this past week or so. It's on constantly. That's the exact hole the light is in.
Glitter? No LED down there

use the front camera and hold your phone in a mirror to take the pic
I doubt it would be glitter. I doubt it has anything to do with the screen as even when the screen is off that light is on. I will try taking it in the mirror later, I'm just not sure if you'll see it as the holes are so small.

It would be easy enough to tell if it is a light or something stuck in the hole. Turn off the device. If it is still there, it's not a light. Or the lights in the house (at night), if it is there, it's either a light or glow in the dark glitter.

Smidge on camera lens. How to fix this?

Hello all,
I just noticed a dark spot when I'm taking a picture. First I thought the lens was just dirty but after cleaning it is still there.
Anybody experienced something like this? And more importantly how to fix this.
Sadly, I have no warranty so I cant send it to Sony.
You can change the lens, which means changing the back cover, which means you'll loose waterproofness if Sony doesn't do it.
The lens is plastic and can't be fixed, you can also remove this plastic lens with a needle apparently and continue using the camera, though this will also compromise the waterproofing.
This has been discussed in another thread if you want more details.

Yeah i've seen the other threads but those where more spots in the lens. I naively hoped that my situation was different. Oh well there goes the waterproof part.

You can buy some third party stickers to glue the back cover to the phone. They look like this:

}
I'll also glue mine with silicone gel along with said sticker when the time comes.

Oh wow never heard of that. Thnx for the tip!
This is unbelievable, I changed the whole backcover and the smidge is still there see http://imgur.com/XbUDQsA
Edit: I opened the phone again and took a picture without the back cover and it appears that the actual camera lens is causing the smidge.

Pinkish tint when tilting the phone?

Hello! I have noticed that my device is changing color when tilting the phone in different angles. It gets a slight pinkish/reddish tint and I wonder if everyone has this or if my screen is bad and if I should get the phone replaced? I took a video of it but it doesn't really show as much in the video as it does IRL. It's much more noticeable IRL. I can't add the video here due to XDA rules.
So, is this normal or should I get it replaced?
My s10 plus doesnt do this hmmm, do you run it on wqhd? See if that makes a difference if not I reccomend taking it back

It happens no matter the settings I use. Tried vivid turned to cool, tried to turn down the red color etc etc. It's only noticeable on a white/grey background. Like in the Gmail. I guess I'll try to get it replaced.

Seems like it's a common issue. Not sure if it's actually normal tho? A friend of mine has almost none of this issue on his. I also took a picture of it showing quite a lot of the issue.

Rectangle on my screen after removing the screen protector?

Hello everyone! This morning, I removed the screen protector that came with my replacement display which I have been using for months now because it had too many scratches. After removing it, nothing was out of the blue until I noticed a large patch of uneven pixels in the shape of a rectangle. Can someone explain to me why this happens and the best way to solve it?
I've read some others had luck by just leaving it alone and letting it disappear on its own (usually within a week or so). My screen does not show any signs of screen burn-in and only shows image retention when watching 16:9 content for long periods of time (~usually 40 minutes at most)

This is an image of my phone with the said rectangle.
App: OLED Tools
The rectangle is mostly noticeable when viewing dark images or gray backgrounds. It is also noticeable when looking at dark greens.
Mine did the same thing after removing my glass screen protector (Dome). Took a good 3 weeks to a month to fade enough that I can just ever ever so slightly notice it. I was really bummed out because the phone is flawless, and I wanted to change to a new protector.
But yeah, it faded away. I just looked again and I can't see it anymore.
I don't understand how the screen protector has anything to do with that or why it wasn't visible before. Disconcerting...
It's really very odd. First phone that has ever done something like that.
All I can say is always use OEM parts with these devices. That includes the adhesive strips.
I've repaired Canon pro cams before and having the exact parts makes the difference.
I hope it works out for you.

It was replaced by an authorized Samsung Service Center I know the parts are legit.
It's been a few weeks now, and it's not as noticeable anymore!
