Most of us noticed that the photos take from our s3 mini with flash are yellowish in color far from the true color this should be not the case:silly:
if you compare our photos from other phones our photos seems more yellowish then other phone photos....
Most of you know the solution for that:good: for those who don't know the solution
1)most of the time try to use camera in auto flash mode
2)and the most important thing is set the exposure value to the lowest i.e to -2.0 in our case if you are taking photos by using flash
And see the difference between the photos...
Good day fellow Butterfly S users!
I'm new to this forums and I was looking to expand my knowledge on this area.
First off, if I root a phone, what are the pros and cons?
Secondly, if I did root a phone will it get rid of the pink/purple tint with the camera? --Since I read somewhere that this is a software problem..
I notice a somewhat pinkish tint whenever I use the camera in lowlight. I tried reducing the ISO to 100 already with still no change.

I can't answer that because I don't have that issue and I think most of us don't

Rooting won't magically solve any problems with your phone. Rooting won't give your phone superpowers. Assuming it really is a software problem and a solution does exist (such as a modified camera app or firmware or kernel driver), rooting would most likely allow you to install that modified version on your device. Other than that, it won't affect your camera in any way.

AFAIK the generally accepted explanation is that the issue is HW related and caused by the image sensor's sensitivity to heat. I read about a user somewhere who performed tests and found out that the purple tint starts to appear on his device when the temperature inside the phone is >28C. His phone was a HTC One, but the same goes for the Butterfly S, too.
Personally, I did not run any such test though, as my device seems to be among the lucky few which are not affected by this phenomenon :victory:
I attempted to produce the purple tint using the following test after I purchased my phone:
1) 30 minutes of NFS Most Wanted, which "preheated" the device quite nicely ,
2) lights off in the room, so it is lit only the backlight of the screen of my laptop. (this ensures that a high ISO is selected by the camera)
3) camera on -> take some test shots
They were niosy as hell (due to high ISO), but thankfully free of any discoloration.
As for rooting...
If this is the only reason you want to root I would say: don't do it. By itself, rooting wont solve your problems. That is a fact. Rooting could enable you to apply a SW-fix though, if the issue was in fact a SW-related.
I have a problem with my camera if I'm using it in dark situation
It always catches somethings with unusual color - attached (example 2 photos taken with something stick at the camera which means without light)
and I attach 1 more photo taken with some range to the object(the same object), as you can see there's still not very clear picture
I've seen the thread about the problem like this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
But I realize that it's not a noise problem (ISO controlling), so is there anyone know how to fix it?

nothing different from that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507
send your phone to repair.
you have a bad st electronic camera sensor and they will change it for an omnivision sensor or any other brand, not sure which one they use now.

Recently just got a moto x, I have looked but couldn't see a solution to this. When I take a picture with the flash white objects just seem to go crazy white hue, then if I try to take a close up of something with flash on the resulting photo is just a white screen. Is this a hardware or software problem?
for some reason moto built this phone and didn't care much about the camera quality actually the camera is fine but the flash qualities crap mine flashes about a second before the damn picture snaps which renders the flash useless, I have two moto xs they both do the same thing. snap to take the picture the flash flashes then goes out than the picture snaps.. gonna have to put up with no flash until the chinese start putting better cameras in motos phones
The camera is OK in outdoor conditions, indoors mine has black wavey lines going across the screen which get captured when photo is taken. This plus the flash issue issue is just a joke, I know it's just a phone and not going to be like proper camera. Big mistake selling nexus 5 for this phone.
Hi,
I've noticed pink spot/hue issue in the middle of photos taken by main camera my S21 Ultra (Exynos version).
I've checked that some condition must be met to recreate the problem:
- photo must be taken indoor when sunrise appear (but it should be dimm in the room not bright)
- photo taken outside when is cloudy (there is no sun)
- the light must be natural
- on gray and green (khaki) surfaces defect is more visible
Do you also have this problem?
I was send phone to service center twice:
first time camera module was replaced - unfortunately the defect remained
second time - the service stated that the phone and camera is functional
P. S. - laser AF is not a cause - I've covered up and hue still exists.
I've searched forums and found similar problem with xperia z3, htc, galaxy s5 .
I dont know if this is normal, or maybe software update will fix the problem or maybe this is hardware failure?
Really...don't know what to do anymore.
Have you tried to replicate the results using another camera app? If it looks the same, then it's not software.

Yes - hue was visible in other applications as well as in the service menu.

Definitely a hardware issue buddy... Keep trying with Samsung, print the images you showed us here and give them with the phone so they can see directly and not test it barely and not notice...
@nevellan
Good to see that you created this thread.
I've been noticing the same too from the beginning. Enquiring further, I noticed the same in two other units later. (All Exynos).
I did not /do not see the pink hue when the laser AF is covered.
However, my concern is why to have the pink hue in certain lighting condition irrespective of laser AF is covered or not! This is an issue.
... have also noticed that the pink hue disappears when focus enhancer is ON.
Pink Hue dissapers when focus enhancer is ON,becuase then is used wide camera not main (108 MP).

Try to hide the laser lens..if you still have this , it's a faulty main lens .

Not sure*.
Could be firmware.
Try:
Clearing the system cache
Clear cam data
Hard reboot.
Check cam settings; excessive contrast or saturation could cause it.
A factory reset will do nothing more than likely.
*test to see if it's purple fringing with some high contrast images ie backlit subjects

I did everything you suggested many times - it didn't help.
Covering laserfocus doesn't help either.

If you can return/exchange it do so.
No need to suffer from the get go.
Had this issue with my Galaxy S6 long ago as well. I guess it's normal?

I'm having a similar problem with a purple patch in the middle of the shot but only when photographing black objects in less than ideal light conditions, particularly black materials. The problem exists with the main camera and wide angle, Zooms seem ok. The problem also exists using GCAM. If I force flash there is no problem. Doesn't seem to be an issue in any other circumstances. Strange. S21 U Exynos 16gb.
I ve noticed this too, but only on the gray colors. I am up to date with the software version, july patch. Exynos 256 GB.

Plus, i haven t notice this thing until seeing this thread and tried to photo something gray, so i think this is not a big deal.

Ignorance is bliss
Looks like only Exynos devices are plagued with this defect, one more reason to pass on this problematic SoC.
