Hey,
I'm just curious, is this normal quality for HTC One pictures?
It seems like my camera can't focus properly (especially in broad daylight), which is sometimes very annoying.
Do I need to trick with settings?
When I see pictures from when I first bought the One, it does seem like it took better pictures, but there has always been this "unsharpiness".
It looks like every other picture which I've seen in here, tests and such takes better pictures than mine
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
This happens to my HTC one as well,did you fix it ??

There's is an artefact of specific shape right in the center of the image, when objects of specific pattern are captured.
The artefact is most visible, when the vivid colour mode is selected, and almost invisible (but still existing), when shooting with normal colour mode. It's invisible in b/w, and I've never seen it on objects not having a textile-like pattern.
A crop of one my photos (vivid colours) is attached.
Other owners' photos (in russian, need to expand the spoilers via (+) sign):

Looks like the problem is software-related, because people haven't noticed any artefacts in raw images, for example.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
I've checked several patterns en direction of that pattern but it seems to be OK on my 10 pro. I also checked a hundred or so other photo's, all clear afaic.

Maybe, your patterns dont suite Anyways, at least 3-4 people did notice it. Its really hard to see, if taking a photo with normal colors, and easier to see, if using vivid colors mode. Btw, I've tried to take a photo of the image that I attached from my monitor, and in vivid colors its possible to get the mentioned artefact - though rather difficult.
Artifact?
You mean the red/pink hot spot?
Every camera has that more or less..

Did you look at the attachment?) Idk what every camera with multiple lenses has, but I doubt that lenses can produce an artefect having a rhomb shape.

Ah, sorry, misread. Anyway, the artefect doesn't seem to be normal and common to cameras.
I noticed the same artefact on my device while I was taking photos of a phone case for sale..anyone mentioned a solution or workaround?
The best thing would be to make Huawei aware of this asap. Tweet them, email them. Etc. It won't be fixed if they aren't aware it's an issue.
So i have been noticing this since quite a lot of days. The p20 pro has black crush issue in videos. The screen tester apps dont show it because the problem is only while playimg videos. The black shadows are never really black. To test this you need to watch a video with complete blacks in 0% brightness in dark room. You will see that there are white dots in the black screen. Its so much irritating, hope huawei fixes it soon as it is most likely a software bug like on s9
As an example if you see at the very start of the video where the helmet falls, the screen should be completely black whereas on a close look you can actually see white dots all over screen
I can see it in your video, but it doesn't happen on my screen in the same situation.

So you mean the blacks are perfectly black for you on zero brighntess in a dark room while playing this video?
I can see the white dots on my p20 as well as on my pc... I think thats what the video should look like... Its like dirt falling at the same time as the helmet.

Try it with this video. I don't get any white dots in the black using your conditions.

The background in this video is not completely black for me in the conditions i mentioned. It feels like the pixels do light up
Btw it must be some software bug because the borders which were not covered by video including the sides of notch are completely black

@mathab you cant compare with a pc. You need some other amoled display device because the pc will light up the pixels as well. Anyway also try the other video posted in next comment.
Edit: you can try this too
I thought where talking about the little white dots on the first video
In the last video you posted I can see backlight in every scene :/ just as you.
Dont have any amoled screen at hand to test (cause maybe the video does not have true blacks ¿?)

try this one, its very clear after 2-3 seconds that your eyes adjust to darkness that theres something weird going on, white spots are all over the screen.
FYI Ive got an L04 from Mexico rebranded to L29

Yes this is what i have been trying to say. And the weird thing is it only happens in video and not on sides of notch where the video doesnt play. So the issue is not with the screen but the huawei firmware. Hope they roll out a fix soon.
I personally believe there are many users with this problem but they havent noticed it.
I do see them to when the brightness is low! I notice that when you scroll on any page that got black content, a sort of purple shadow follow the black content. Anyone experience this?
After struggling with my S9+ and it's black crush problem (I returned it for this reason) I did really hoped N9 doesn't have such a problem.
Well, yesterday I tried my brand new N9 with Netflix (Luke Cage S2) and there's definitely a black crush issue!!!! Anyone else noticed?

He is in love with Luke Cage. I kind of have a crush on Rosario Dawson. ???

Last night I tried some more test together with my OP6 and sadly I can confirm it! You can see in the attached files, the upper phone is the Note 9 while the lower one is the OP6. Both phone are on 50% screen brightness. The Note 9 has even the Video Enhancement enabled and I tried all the screen settings (adaptive, cinema amoled, pitcure amoled and basic) without any positive result. I took these pictures with my iPhone X and I can tell you for sure that the problem is even more evident in person!
Crushed
Yes, unfortunately, I am experiencing the black crush problem on my Verizon variant. I also experienced this problem with my previous T-Mobile Note 9. The screen calibration app from the Play Store does help, but for a phone this pricey, this software quality control problem is unacceptable.

YES. That’s why I returned it. It’s incredible even considering that S9 had exactly the same problem when it was released. I really did think this time samsung could take care of it....but I was wrong.

Mine's going back today. And, unfortunately, I'm giving up on Samsung with these phones. It's too bad, beacuse everything else has been stellar, but my typical use case makes for this problem to be too significant and too frequent to overlook ?.

I don’t remember the episode number. It should be one at the end of the season. Anyway, you can see it by yourself that is dark. With such a problem when you look in a dark part of a scene (for instance someone's hair) you just see a black mess with no details in it. [emoji20]

cant you guys just slide the brightness slider a tad to the right?
or just remove auto brightness?
I don't think that having screen to 100% is the solution...

not exactly what i said either.
does removing auto brightness and adjusting it a bit more help?
because it just seems that's the issue.
edit:
i did tests with the note 9, note 8, and note 3
while there are slight differences between each device nothing like the pictures you posted.
all screens had auto brightness at off and brightness at 50 percent which was more than enough.
lets not forget 50% on a samsung and 50% in another brand might not have the same intensity/range.
and something obvious but i feel i must add in this case is that samsung phones when video is paused will auto dimm the screen a couple seconds after playback is halted.
in order to do your tests i figure you also paused playback. i just hope you didn't take pictures of when it was dimmed... because lol well that would be dimwitted.
when i compare one phone dimmed and one not dimmed i get the exact same results as your pictures. a brief touch of the screen restores normal brightness.
I have a little black crush on mine. But some people forget we are watching stuff on a mobile device that is packaged for small screens. The video is compressed and sometimes even the data.
I made sure to watch some high quality content, not just 1080p or 4k. Dim and well lit content. Also, a wide variety of YouTube videos. I experienced some black crush and many times brightening the luxury of the screen helped. To conserve battery some content I don't need to see all the details. Other times I knew it was compression compressing all the colors and shades out it.
The best way to test for black crush are contrasty pictures. I see many of the complaints about videos but sometimes it can't be helped as I'll watch the same content (same exact file for scientific reasons) on my JS9500 which is semi calibrated and Bam! there it is still. I've tested some with the camera and sometimes I will have slight black crush in darker pictures but it would be a challenging picture anyways. Sometimes black crush is non contrasty dark content and/or compression and codecs.

Now that i looked through a few episodes and even looking at the defenders since it had some pretty dark scenes i dont think i have black crush. I compared it to my iphone and the picture (black wise) is much better on the note.

You can see what you want to see. I don't care.
If you want to believe that I took pictures of two phones letting one dim itself just to waste my time here writing this post...well do it.
I owned all Samsung phones since the first galaxy...let alone the many other phones I owned...S9 plus and Note 9 have such an issue. I read that S9 was updated back in may to solve it (although some say it's not solved at all). I don't feel like waiting 3 months to see maybe this problem solved. I paid a lot of money for note 9 and as I did for S9+ I decided to return it for this reason. Nor I feel like crancking all the way up brightness just to be able to see some details in dark areas nor even up to 60 nor 70% (thus you feel better?!?) when my other phones don't have such an issue (nor even my s8+ and note8).
Maybe for someone else this is not a problem, especially if they don't use the phone to watch movies or series on Netflix or other streaming services. I do. And I don't waste a thousand euros for something that won't let me see a decent image quality.

Oh well....my others mobile devices packed for small screen don't have such an issue. And I can watch whatever I want...but one has it and the other one doesn't.
There cannot be compression when we are talking about the same video on two different phones one showing the issue while the other one don't. I mean I even posted pictures showing the issue. And believe me when I tell you that they don't make justice to the real difference between the two devices....it was really worst in person. I don't need to be convinced of the contrary thanks.
Maybe the most clever way to answer could be "sorry pal, you got a lemon". I cannot exclude it (although after owning S9+ with the same issue I'm a bit suspicious about it). But no settings nor codec nor compression.

Lol. Drinking orange crush and Bombay Sapphire.
that brightness slider must be really heavy. wonder which is more difficult:
- moan about it and return the device
or
- move it 1/4 of an inch to the right. (that's 6.4 millimeters to you)
so can you take a picture of the same scenario as before but with a bit more brightness? its for science
now take an other picture of both phones maxed out. its for the win
I got the p30 pro couple of days ago. So far nothing much to complain as i've used the mate 20 pro as well so there's not much of a difference in the UI and stuff.
One thing i noticed though, i thought the p30 pro was able to see in pure darkness from all the reviews and **** on youtube but that doesn't seem to be the case though. Not sure if it's a problem with my unit or the same for the rest. Also worth noting that im on the 9.1.0.124 firmware. I guess that's the latest
Would appreciate it if anyone else can share their input on this. Attaching snapshots below. Thanks.

It can’t be pitch black. You must have some kind of light source but it does not need much to make its magic. I tested and could barley see anything in my bedroom. The iPhone gave me a black picture and the P30 Pro took a picture like it was daylight
Mine also doesnt capture anything in the dark.
