Well if u have rooted, i suggest u "unroot" and relock ur bootloader. Send it to htc if u still got warranty. They should fix it considering it is hardware, not software.. If u havent rooted, and still got warranty, send it to htc and they have to fix it, as long as u havent ruined it urself. If u havent got warranty and u are rooted, u could take-apart the phone urself and try to fix it..
Keep in mind that i do not take any responsibilityfor anything that happens. Whatever happens good or bad is ur fault

small blue dot only on camera

hello everyone. had the one for 3 weeks now. I just noticed a very small blue dot almost at the center of my screen when taking pics or recording videos. I could only see it on camera mode though. on home screen it does not appear. ran dead pixel test and did not find anything. I been searching forums and found nothing similiar . I'm debating on returning it or is there a fix for this. I'm completely stock, unrooted for now.

Is it in your photos?

Yes. I just tried it.

If u look at the same spot where the dot is and compare it to the app drawer, u can't see it.

Just curious here but does it show on both front and back camera's or just one?

Just on the rear facing one. I hope it's a software issue, not hardware . I don't want a refurbished one.

At this stage, you likely won't get a refurb.
That said, it looks like your camera actually has a dead sensor. Not sure what, if anything, you can do to try to clear it up short of taking in the phone.
It obviously isn't the screen.

Ya, I am no genius on this subject by no means but that pixel would be considered stuck instead of a dead pixel. If it is on the software end of things then going through the various colorize settings in that particular camera mode and taking snapshots may release it. Maybe even a factory reset may release it back to normal.
Then again it may be a warning sign that that pixel is about to go dead too I guess. I really hope you get this cleared up for sure and I for one would be very curious as to just what is going on here. Thanks.
Edit: referring to the camera may have a dead sensor as said above, I would have thought that it would have shown that way with recording too. Maybe not though...

Thanks guys I'll try to take it back as soon as I can

My HTC One has the exact same issue but it's on the very edge of the screen so much less offensive then where yours is.
It's a hot pixel on the camera sensor that only shows up when the ISO is cranked up. For DSLR's, software (at the factory or even on camera) is used to "map out" these hot pixels. Perhaps we have something similar on our phones that can be accessed.. have you tried a hard reset?

Blue dot
Yeah I recently purchased mine but unlocked and I have the same problem, seems to happen when it is on high ISO. I was reading into the hot pixel thing which happens in other cameras, but they say they go away but can persist. I am debating to wait or exchange it, but these phones are back-ordered :/

Considering that your hot pixel is near the center of the screen, I would consider exchanging it (if possible). While it's true that they can sometimes go away on their own, my experience (with DSLR's at least) has led me to not rely on this happening (I have a few hot pixels on my DSLR that have appeared and NOT gone away in the last few years).

I have a similar problem I have a little green dot on the corner of my screen

[Q] 4.3 Update camera fix

Hey guys. I have the VZW HTC One and was curious if any of you have seen the purple hazing camera issue fixed with this update. HTC said the update would remedy the problem. Can anyone verify the fix?

I can verify that the problem persists. HOWEVER, it has been slightly reduced. I can take pictures now on the dark and it is possible to take better pictures. It changes ISO quickly to reduce the purple tint.

The main update wasn't included with the ota yet

Still appears to be a hardware issue (even though it has been reduced, it still is there for some), I would return to your carrier and ask for a new one.

What?

I can confirm that problem is still present with the update although it's been reduced as others are saying.
Also, what's this about the main update wasn't included with the OTA?

It seems to be a firmware issue. I did not have any purple problems until I updated the firmware. Now I have them. I've heard that downgrading to an older firmware fixes it for people like myself who didn't have it before but now have it. My boss had the issue(GSM version), updated his firmware, and no longer has it. Seems the fix for it causes it for some people.

Purple tint is still there, pretty sure it has been confirmed as a hardware issue.

I doubt it as it's there on devices that didn't have it prior to the update now.

Running flex 2.03 and my camera seems to be fine, no purple haze..

I have to agree with you. I'm one who never had the purple problem untill the 4.3 update. Also Flash set to auto doesn't seem to flash when it should be.
Might try the firmware downgrade next weekend.

definately a hardware issue, although i'd like to know what caused it.
never had the problem until a few weeks ago, then all i got is purple tint in my photos in low light.
this phone used to take the best photos in low light compared to other phones on the market, now its just crap.
latest 4.3 roms dont fix it either.

Looks like it's getting too hot which somehow shows up in the pictures. Bad units for sure.

Purple haze came with 4.3
My HTC One has never had a purple haze up until I updated last week to 4.3. It doesn't seem possible that this is a hardware issue when mine was perfect until the software update. That doesn't make any sense.

I don't think it's a hardware issue directly. It's a post-processing issue. That points to firmware more than anything to me. If I had to guess, I'd say that they sourced the camera hardware to multiple vendors. As a result, the different vendors have slightly different sensitivities. So the post-processing that works fine from Vendor A-G may cause the purple issue on Vendor H and I. The firmware update that fixes it for Vendor I breaks it for Vendor E. It's a balance of slightly different hardware using the same firmware.

Agreed, mine is not fixed but when I updated to 4.3 without firmware it was terrible, now with the newest firmware almost perfect, though still a slight amount of purple tint. Good enough for me to keep it.

Grayish camera after 4.3update

I observed that since I update my HTC one to 4.3, the camera became grayish purplish. I have done all I can think of to get the camera to be as clear as it is supposed to be, but no solution, I need help as it have taken away the fun in taking pictures with my phone.

This is a very known hardware issue, not related to the 4.3 update. Send your phone to repair under warranty. They will replace your camera chip with an improved one.

Question about camera tint

Hey, the purple tint is beginning to become unbearable on my htc one m7. Would the issue be resolved if I replaced the camera myself?

Its very risky. I would absolutely discourage you from doing it yourself. My suggestion is to send it in for repair. I got mine in 3 days

How risky? I'm not the original owner of this phone nor am I in the country that it was purchased in. so I don't think I can send it in.
