[Q] HTC One mini 2 Screen Issue - HTC One Mini 2

Hello,
So I just noticed some fine horizontal lines on my phone display.
They are more noticeable when the brightness is high and on monochrome colors especially on shades of grey.
I started to notice after a firmware update (from 2.16.xxx.x to 2.18.401.3).
The phone is locked (Orange Romania).
I tried factory reset, wipe cache partition etc.
Strangely if I rotate the phone to landscape (the picture is not rotated) then they are barely noticeable even unnoticeable.
I tried to reproduce this effect, so please take a look at the attachments.
To see the issue please view these pictures in full size (Right click on the pict and click View Image then zoom in)
What do yo think guys?
It's a software or a hardware issue?

Hello,
Thank You for your feedback.
Yes, I think I need to send it to repair, but I heard some horror stories about HTC repair center here in Romania (Regenersis).
My phone is just two weeks old and I like it very much but these lines are annoying.

Problems with display? Or normal

Hi guys,
Just bought this wonderfull device but i'm having some question about it. it seems that the right side of the display is less brighter then the left side. I tried a few images but it looks like the lights are just not brighter. I adjust the contrast and on the highest setting the screen seems to be ok .
I have included some pictures, in the last picture it's very noticable. As you can see the left Agenda and the right Contacten, Agenda is really bright Contacten not. What is your idea about it? Do you guys have the same?
See the difference?
The device is brand new 1 day old, can i return it or ask for a new? Thnx for your support...
Many thanks for your feedback!

Is your backlight on full? If not try it and see if you still have this 'issue'
Try to Change the backround.
looks like a pattern of the backround.

If you just got it today does that mean you applied the screen protector today? Sometimes it takes a bit of use to sit flat on the screen and so could give such an effect.

No didn't applied it yet. Thought I wait so I'm able to return it. I will try a few new patterns. But you don't have this problem?

Whenn having it full it seems to be less. When having it on less you really see the difference.

No, just checked mine. I can't say it's obvious from your pics and unfortunately your last pic seems unavailable. If it is darker over the "Contacten" word then I can't see that this is a wallpaper issue, since that is a toolbar.

Hi
I thought this for a small while.
Try turning your screen to landscape, has the slight difference down one side changed with rotation?
If so it is probably just the shading applied to some screens by Microsoft, for example the contacts list and email lists have a colour graduation, white on the left and then a slight blue tint towards the right.
Open up pocket Word, this is a completely white screen, no graduation, do you see the problem now?

Stripes taking photos on htc kaiser

I have a htc Kaiser and there is a problem with the external 3Mp camera. When you start the application to take photos, then appears two parallel stripes, one half yellow hald red, and other below half green half blue. This happens only in the external ( 3 Mp ) camera, not in the 3g one. How I can fix it ????

Clean the lense
I have the same problem.
Tried cleaning the lens, didn't work.
Hard reset didn't work either.
Seems like a hardware fault with the camera.
Wait, are you saying they appear in the "viewfinder" of the app, or the actual photos?
Post an example shot please?
Mostly, It's cameras bug.

Was that supposed to be an answer to my question or a response to someone else?
Really, it's not possible to say whether this is an unusual "feature" or a bug without more info. The way the original poster describes it, it sounds like it might be some unusual framing assist feature in the live preview. No one seems to be willing to say whether it is in the previews or if it is in the actual pictures taken. (I know I have seen the Kaiser pictures thread, and they look pretty good other than some obvious deficiencies in the debayering algorithm that cause "maze" patterns to appear in certain situations, which is a common problem with some of the older/simpler debayering algorithms.)

yes, good question. does it look like this when you view it on your computer, or is it only when it's sized down on your device?
I can see the stripes while taking the picture and they are also part of the saved image. Viewed on the TyTN II and on a PC.
The camera was working fine then all of a sudden just started showing stripes.
Attached are some photos.
Looks like i might have to send the TyTN II for repair.
I also noticed that when you take the battery cover off, it seems like the camare can be taken out, so it may have moved and not making a good contact.

lol my first glance and it looked like you were targeting things with a crosshair. yea thats different than the lines i hought you were talking about, you need to send that back for repair.
Yeah, definately something wrong there, likely broken hardware.
Also I have the same problemna!
This happened to mine too, after working fine for about a month. Seems like a common problem, interesting it shows up after time too. I sent mine in for repair/replacement but it may happen again....
Even my own, for a month everything was ok, then is the line appeared
Same Problem
My camera also did this. I changed the flicker adjustment in the camera settings to 60 hz from auto and it went away, only to reappear again. Again, I changed the flicker adjustment, this time to aut, and it went away again. Very strange. It appears I can paly with the flicker adjustment in the camera settings and make it go away, at least for a while. It appears to be a common problem, likely software related.
i too
hi i too experiance the same problem.......
is there any one to help us... please post a geniune reply to our problem

Camera Scrambled

So the past few weeks I have been having issues with my camera on my rooted G1 (SuperD 193), and the problem existed before I flashed to super d (using cyanogen latest before). The camera kept going from looking normal to casting everything in a purple hue.
Now everything is scrambled, like old cable for a channel you didnt have.
Anyone else experience a problem similar to this? If I can get a picture up I will.
Did you wipe? If not, you should do it. Or do it even if you did before.

Came from "complete eclair" to fasttest and got the same weird purple scrambled look.
I will put Bart from Complete eclair back and see what happens. I suspect the drivers are not getting wiped.
I put Complete eclair back and now it looks like crap to. I think the camera is borked.
Have the same problem. Its not the ROM its the actual phone. The Camera Lens and wiring is malfunctioning.
I find that if I take a few pictures the camera will go back to normal. I tried getting a scrambled pic last night, but it seems to only be doing the off-color hue thing. Now if I take a few photos, it will return to normal coloring.
Very strange.

Just took 20 pictures of my keyboard. No change. Found a thread on this from a few days a ago and it looks like the same problem. Why is all this hardware failing at the same time?

I also took pictures out the window, then back inside. I wonder if the exposure adjustment might have helped?

Mine is still messed up. I called Tmob and set up to swap it out. I will have to figure out the un-root thing before I send it in. I have a month of warranty left and don't want to find out after that the camera just dies.

they are stuck pixel sometimes working and sometimes ... and won't destroy other pixels (it s usual issue on lcd displays)
But if they are not annoying for ur eyes leave them cause fast flashing the screen and such solutions don't solve anything.
but sony will replace if it has warranty
:good:

it s used phone and i don't know what did happened for it
maybe last user modified it or was working not properly
so best choice is to take it to official service
however u can first use PC Companion app to repair firmware if these problems be in software this can solve all of them
:good:
if it was helpful hit thanks

Question Problem with purple-pink hue on the main Camera - S21 Ultra Exynos

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.

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.
