3 days back I updated my HTC one m7 T-mobile to Sense 6 update (s/w ver 5.14.531.1). I realized the pink/purple tint issue is coming more than ever. I guess it was before there also but very less perhaps. But now i cannot click a pic. All the colours are like faded n blue-ish.
I read on threads its an h/w issue with HTC and they often replace the camera sensor form Omnivision to Sharp. So is mine also the same issue ?
Also can anybody help me know about HTC warrant, i brought this from US (t-mobile) currently i am in india . Do HTC india entertain these warranty cases ?
Here is a screenshot of my HTC-one in complete dark case.
Thanks a lot.
I got a question my HTC m7 was made in 01-03-2014 will any way suffer purple tint issue? I frequently use camera, is there any mod to avoid putting 100% brightness when using camera? Thanks in advance.[emoji4]
Hi,
As most of you know, for many people the HTC One m7 has a pink/purple camera issue, likely caused by overheating. Bearing this in mind, i opened up my HTC and replaced the camera with another original camera module and added some extra copper tape to conduct some heat to the middle panel and store extra heat as shown in the pink/purple fix tread. After putting my One back together the exact same issue was still present. Now to come to my actual question; is it possible to replace the m7 camera module with a non-original camera? i.e. the camera from a samsung s4? I have not much insight into the software and hardware possibilities. I am willing to try anything if you have a good idea, i can solder quite well and i can follow any software editing guides. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
Regards,
Morris

Whoa
Good and great experiment
It can happen as you can see htc m8 & m8 eye are almost same except camera software also twin just camera module libs are changed
Yes you can camera physically but i don't think you will get software support as m7 is old now for developer's
You can try thid one take m8 eye camera + software libs
Ask m8 developer's about porting that lib module to m7
Thats sounds like a great idea, i will look into that.
However i looked around and it seems that the HTC One mini 2 rear camera is a much better physical fit than the HTC One M8 for the M7
Also, the rear camera from the HTC One Max and Mini are the same. This camera seems to also physically fit into the M7. Even more likely so, because it is also a 4MP camera, if you look at the images you can see the M7 camera has some extra chips though, I'm not sure what those do.
I had inserted the images into this message to show you, but XDA-forums wont allow me to post links.
Please see for yourself.

I am looking into replacing my M8 camera with the M8 Eye camera. However, I am having a difficult time finding an M8 Eye camera sensor for sale. Do you have any idea where one would locate this part?

I would try Ebay, might also worth to ask in the correct forum This is the M7 forum. I'm sure guys in the M8 forum could help you find one.
Good luck
Haha good point. Thank you for the quick reply. Do you happen to know which lib files are necessary for camera operation? Furthermore, when "porting" lib files does anything special need to be done to them, or can I simply copy them from the phone that the camera was taken from and paste them in their respective directory?

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I just brought an HTC One M7 back to life after it having been dead for years, and it's got the purple camera issue.
I started looking for a replacement camera from another model, and went searching to see if anyone had tried this. Do you have anything to report? I'd love to hear it, if so.
Ive got a htc desire 626 and i am seriously surprised wit the back camera quality. It came in sealed pack so I couldn't check it. But it is not showing as a real 13MP camera, its all like a Chinese phone. Anyone getting this!
HTC Desire 626...Poor Camera Quality like Chinese phone!

I am also facing the same issue. The back 13MP and also front 5MP camera quality is really poor like Chinese phone. :crying:
Not sure if you have bad luck. I made some pictures and video test but unfortunately I cannot share them here since I do not have 10 post plus.
Anyway, they look really good to me. I will show them here when i hit 10th post+.

Yes but I think problem is with the app. Try A Better Camera in play store. It improved photo/video quality and had 13mp option.
Hello everyone, I own a sprint htc one and having purple camera issue since i bought it. So I'm willing to change the back camera.

As you can see there are 3 different camera types.... Which one is compatible with our phone? Or is there a way to tell the right type without opening the phone?
