I have a problem with my Tilts screen, on some programs I can see a line running across the screen right where the bottom bar for the softkeys is located. When I am using the camera it appears to be green, and when i open up the tab for the options it is white, its not that visible to most people but I can clearly see it, and it and it is extremely annoying I will take some pictures of it later, just wanted to know if anyone has the same problem
looks a hardware fault to me...is it happening on landscape and portrait mode?
I have problem with horizontal line on the screen only in camera (3Mpix) mode. This line apper on the taken foto. I thin it must be camera ... I hope this will be fixed soon...
I send mine back for repair, because of the horizontal and vertical lines in camera mode.

it happens on both, the problem kinda reminds me of those old crt monitors where if you had the same thing on the screen too long it would burn in. the line is on the left side of the screen and looks exactly like the shiny part of the left softkey is.

Was it repaird or did you get a new one ? I now that it's diffrent in every country but how long were you left without phone ?
I'm still in the waiting, the TNT guy just picked it up. They promised me it will take 10 days max. This includes the time for sending it back to me.
So hopefully i'll get it back before 15 dec. I think they will replace my cameralens, since there is a white dead pixel on it. But who knows...
Im having the same problem.
I just received my MDA Vario III yesterday.
I installed the hardSPL and flashed with dutty's latest rom.
I also took a contacts pic of my dad, hehe.
But today, I started the camera and noticed a red line running across the cam.
So I took the picture, and checked the pic. It seemed the red line was taken with the picture. This does mean there's some hardware problem. Also, I found another topic on the internet with more people complaining about it:
Click!
I just called T-Mobile and they wouldnt help me cause the contract's on my dad's name. (A few years back when I wasn't 18 yet)
Anybody else who has experienced this problem?
i just took a pic of my monitor in low light conditions - i have a totally black screen with only the taskbar visible (light gray) i found that taking a picture in landscape mode, the night mode or some **** is causing all pixels along that line to darken (??) see this link for an example (3mp @ fine)
note: this happens in landscape mode probably because the orientation of the line of pixels is in line with the pixels of the camera (cant seem to reproduce it when the device is upright [ie the taskbar spans the 240, not the 320]) - this could either be the utterly _crap_ nightmode filter software or could be due to the ccd itself - i dont really know enough about camera technology to determine which is the cause (you think maybe the crap nightmode filter determines the gamma of horizontal lines based only on the pixels in that line? that would explain this effect and if so thats just plain ****)
My Kaiser has new camera. It took only one day to repair it. I've heard that camera in Kaiser is made by Samsung ... (it was mentioned in service report)
Now it's all ok. I wonder how long ...
Anyone else having a problem like this I assume its the image sensor. In more than half of my pics and almost all my videos I have lots of noise usually green colors sometimes red but mostly green. Seems when the camera focuses it appears more or if you zoom in then back out you see the green specs. I can see it happening on the screen before I even take the pics. I've tried HRD on and off other settings and even other camera apps. I still have this issue is this something I need to send the camera back to Motorolla for and wait at least 3 weeks for a replacement?
Hi
When i took photos in very Dark place on Pro mode with Below settings there is some white Dots(Spots) on picture(maybe Like Hot pixel):
1- set exposure on 10 (sec)
2- set iso on 800
The spots place is fixed on all photos in this condition...
Is that nature?!
-The Attached pictures is zoomed in.
You probably already have done it, but, are sure your lenses are perfectly clean, I mean, cleaned with a good clening liquid and a proper cleaning cloth?

If lenses are clean, and it really is a pitch black place, and you had the flash off, and the dots stay in same place on every photo, then it has to be
1) micro scratches (from sand / grit)
2) Dust. They could be dust settling on your freshly cleaned lens (static) - I know if I clean my lenses with kitchen roll, it becomes a dust-fest
3) Fault in CMOS sensor. Though I wouldnt have thought the fault would be white dots, as white is after all ALL colours in the visible spectrum, maybe should be red or magenta maybe, but not white. There are different light sensors for each colour If my limited understanding is anything like correct, therefore, for white to be displayed, red/green/blue sensors at that very same point would ALL have to be faulty. Therefore, to me, a CMOS sensor fault seems unlikely.
4) Dust seal compromised. Unless you have had back off it, this shouldnt be so. Return under warranty if knox is intact.
Good luck.

Are you have Note 8?
I tested two other Note 8s and there was same problem too.
My phone is new and there is no any dust or scratch...
The lense is clean and white dots place is fixed in any photos.
Just test it with take picture in Pro mode with 10 exposure and iso 800 in very dark places without any light. Probable you can see this white dots when zoom in the photo too.

Yes, lens is clean.
I tested two other Note 8s and same problem exist.
Please just set the setting like image below and test it:

OK I'll bite. As much as I didn't want to I checked mine. I do have spots but they are only in the lower left (lower right on these pics because of the rotation) and vary from dots to lines. I suspect it's a limitation of the aperture seeing it only happens with a 10 second exposure and 10 is it's set limit. The first pic was in a dark closet and the second is with a thick cloth over the lens. It's not a deal breaker in my case because I rarely if ever would set the exposure to 10 seconds, I'm mainly a point and shoot person.

I think you didn't set the ISO to 800 in these attached pictures, yes?!

I did. Iso at 800 and exposure at 10 sec. Any other exposure other than 10 seconds and the spots are gone for me.
I took this picture in iso 800 and exposure 10, you can see the white spots clearly:

Yup, it looks like stars. Hopefully others will check as well.
My Sony dashcam does the same thing.

I tested the cam at 10 sec exposure and ISO 800, and yes, there are star like spots, but only visible when enlarging the picture, I had seen this happening with othe phones and cameras at no extreme seetings, that is, not entire seconds of exposure, no totally black pitch ambient, In fact I think that this happening only at 10 sec of exposure is not a big deal, when these dots appear, it is in a situation that almost nothing will be captured in the photo, if something appers in the photo, means there is enough light to be registered, and then, you would not notice the dots, as I most surely will not take pictures in these conditions, I am not worried, I take standard photos all the time
It's normal
Okay. Just tested mine. Same thing. However I do have to mention that I frequently take nighttime photos for astrophotography and typically you wouldn't want such a high ISO on a long exposure because it introduces noise to the photo. And 800 is the highest ISO setting that the Note 8 has. Any camera will do this to you. The long exposure will collect enough light by itself to negate the need for such a high ISO. Not really a defect in the camera, just the process of taking the picture.
Hi,
anybody having this issue as well?
The 5x zoom is useless for me as the camera is unable to get in focus. So a few milliseconds and only occasionally it gets sharp but then it looks blurred again.
10x produces sharp images.
Samples:

Thanks!
You have to keep in mind it is a lot slower to lock focus than the main sensor. Give it time to lock on target and then take the shot or else you will end up with unfocused shots.

Well it locks but then loses focus.

I assume this is not normal, I have asked for a replacement.
I have noticed this issue when trying to take a photo through a window. No matter how close you hold it to the window, it will try to focus on the window. Then if you wait long enough (5-30sec) it will focus out to infinity but then it will pop back to the window after a few seconds.
It should really default to infinity since that most objects you will use the 5X lens for will be far out.
Sometimes when it just isnt working, I switch to Pro mode and manual focus, but the interface is clunky and you lose some of the auto-features.
I've never had this issue before with other phones when taking photos through a window.
I also noticed that it is not as sharp, but I assume that is a limitation of the lower resolution sensor and maybe the OIS not fully compensating.

Mine focus perfectly through windows.
I know the title sounds really weird, but that's because this is a really weird issue (I think).
I noticed that when I use the front (selfie) camera, it was totally out of focus and blurry. Now when I take the phone out of its cover, the image is razor sharp again! I narrowed it down to just the corner where the camera sits. When I take the cover just a bit of on that corner, the image is perfect. When I put it back, the image if out-of-focus again.
To make this even stranger: as a test I decided to put my phone upside down in its cover. And behold! The image was perfect!
So it doesn't have anything to do with the cover pressing against that corner or something.
Anybody else also noticed this? And anybody found a way to fix this?
My wife's S10 has exactly the same behaviour. In the cover: blurry front cam. Out the cover, upside down in the cover, camera corner popped out of the cover: focus all fine.
Who knows the answer?
Time to whip out the Exacto knife!
