HTC One Google Edition Camera Issue (Low Light) - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
First time poster. But I had converted my AT&T HTC One to the Google Edition HTC one following the thread on this forum.
I am currently experiencing an issue with the camera where in low light situations, I seem to see some sort of ridges in the image (see image). These ridges look like smears on the camera lens, but when I wipe the lens with a microfiber, nothing changes. So it's something with how the software is reading the exposure inside of the lens.
But when I use a flash with these ridges on the screen, the image develops normally. So it is an issue associated with low light exposure.
This issue has been ongoing for several weeks now, and I still haven't found a viable solution.
I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this, or an idea as to how I can trouble shoot it. Thanks a bunch!

There's a thread here about the camera low light problems/strange wavy pattern problem, as well as other camera low light problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
Only way so far (as this particular issue is a hardware fault (as are most)) is to get a replacement camera module fitted under warranty in a service center.

HTc HD 7 Camera Issue

Hi
Got my Hd 7 from o2 pay as you go
Am quiet happy with it, but has anyone noticed that the camera is a bit rubbish or is it jjust me
Camera snaps close up are super brilliant. but the moment you try to snap far away subjects its all blurish
Its seems to have a digital zoom which just blows up to picture to distortion
I have noticed that even the zoom function just blurs it up as well
feed back would be appreciated
It's indeed not the best WP7 camera but it's not too rubish also. It should be no more than decent (while to video recording with continued focus is ace) . Can you provide a sample so we can judge ?
There was also a pink-camera isue with an earlier HTC device (can't remember the exact model) and problem was solved with a quick update.

camera on hd7 does suck... tend to bluish every single shot unless u play with scene mode .... thats one of the reason im trying something else .. maybe focus
Hmm.. do you think that it will be possible that they release an update for this?
Not too keen on getting it if the camera is useless.
I have the awesome pink hue issue with mine... and for the other guy... the other phone with the pink problem was the HD2.
anyone know if this is just the software or is the hardware?
ive noticed too that on long distance shots its horrible on keeping focus of the picture. Though i think that maybe because metering is set to center and it cant focus in that much in the distance.
Though your every day snaps are usually ok for me. No problems with tints or anything and i find the video quality to be decent
I haven't had any problems at all with taking photos on my HD7 - no focussing issues, near or far.
Are you guys half-pressing the camera button to focus first, before pressing it the rest of the way to take the photo?
This seems to be the biggest cause of issues, people not realizing it's a two-stage shoot process, just like with digital cameras.
Note to the OP: Metering is actually light metering and has nothing to do with focussing. If you have metering set to centre, the camera will adjust the exposure according to the brightness of the object in the centre of the shot. If metering were set to "average" it would work out the brightness of the whole frame and set the exposure to that. Nowt to do with focus.
Incidentally, don't forget to ensure the lens is free of dust, fingerprints and other crud as that will obviously make your pics look mushy.
nope i always press on the first stage and let it focus and then press

[Q] Dust on image sensor

Hi,
today I saw a black spot on my images from camera and also on my videos. It seems like I have a dust on the image sensor. Does anyone know is it easy to clean this? I disassembled the phone following a guide in YouTube but then I have no idea where the sensor is. So I just blew randomly around the camera with a "blower bulb" but no change. I also tried a few hits But that didn't help either.
I refer to the back camera.

[Q] Broken camera?

Hi,
My camera shows a very clear lighter rectangle on every picture taken and also live in the viewfinder. It's very visible on darker or HDR shots and less on pics taken outside.
I posted an example picure below. It also seems to be related to the temperature of the phone (e.g. long in use or not). It looks like condense, but it's not because the shape is alway similar and it's been on every pic for a week now.
I'm very hesitant to send it in for repair since I just got it and don't want to wait weeks for the phone to return, but it's very annoying!
What is your opinion, can it be a software bug the will be fixed soon or is it a broken camera sensor? Have you ever seen something like this before (the repair guy from the shop didn;t...)?
Thanks.

Blurry photos after taking them

Hello,
Received my Z3C today after much debate and the camera is proving to be the biggest gripe.
First and foremost, mine has the dreadded 'pink spot' issue that seems quite common with others - with a difference in that the blob is actually yellow/green and then becomes pink towards the edges. So, can this be resolved? Or is it a hardware issue?
Secondly, the actual quality of the photos taken.
If I take a picture, the image will look nice and crisp when i take it, but then the resulting image is blurry?
I've changed all kinds of settings and e.g. with and without I.S, face detection, face focus etc etc. but it still happens, I'd say, randomly.
Has anyone else experienced these issues and found workarounds? Or is my handset faulty and should I therefore send it in for a replacement.
Model info: 14W44
Here are some example shots;

The cabinet shot is an example of the image being blurred upon capturing.

Doogee S55 camera issue

Hello,
So I have this rugged everything-proof ip68 standard android phone Doogee S55. It has not had any major impact or anything, just few casual drops on the ground (these should be nothing for such a smartphone, right?)
Anyway, out of sudden, I have noticed that the rear camera photo quality seriously deteriorated and it can not focus anymore, for example a picture of a passport has unreadable text which was perfect some time ago.
Also, you can see this random ticks on every photo shot by it. Please look at the attachment.
My question is (assuming it's real hardware damage and I cannot fix it at home)
whether it's possible to programmatically disable one of the dual rear cameras and only use a single one? (Hopefully just one camera is damaged)
Other ideas are welcome as well
