My moto x4 takes the yellow photos, I do not know if it is the software or the hardware error, but when installing roms, it is very yellow and it depends on the clothes that are used, if it has fallen several times.
If you're using a GCam app, it could be setting dependent.
I haven't come across anyone having this issue yet so I don't have anything else to add.

Hello. I received my handset on Saturday morning from P4U and have been very impressed so far, especially compared to my experience with the One X last year where I had to swap 3 handsets before finding one without a major problem.
I have noticed however a possible glitch with the camera. When using the camera outside in bright sunlight I sometimes get glitches on the screen in the form of a jumping/rippling effect which is sometimes accompanied by a faint crackling/clicking notice. On one occasion it would not focus at all, with the screen rippling the whole time and refusing to focus. Following turning off and on again I have not had the problem to the same same degree, although it does happen occasionally with maybe just one of two ripples before the image on the screen settles down. The issue does not seem to arise in other scenarios (indoors, etc). Had I not had the situation where the camera could not focus at all I would just have put it down to the particular way that the camera focuses
Also I noticed that when the issue was most pronounced, I was standing outside our house in a bad/poor mobile reception area, just on fringe of out Wifi connection within the house. The phone was also set to auto update and was trying to do so. Could this therefore be some sort if interference issue interfering with the camera sensor or imaging chip?
Hs anyone else experienced anything similar? I am very pleased with the handset so if this is standard I would not exchange it. However if this is an indication that I have a dodgy camera module or imaging chip I would want to do something about it now.
Many thanks.
Just tried to use the camera to take photos at the theatre in combination of dark foreground and bright background. Camera struggled to focus on a number of occasions, with repeated clicking and pulsing/ripples on the screen as before. Never seen anything like it with a digital camera. Might be something to do with ultrapixel technology but it can't be right can it? Any ideas? Looks like an exchange may be necessary...
Reminds me of another thread...you should check out this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196059
Might be the same problem.
Thanks - I had seen that one too. Not the same effect, but I have seen that issue as well.
I called P4U today and got given a swap code to exchange the handset in-store, which I did earlier today. Not had a chance to test the new one, but hopefully it won't have the same issue as I have not seen anyone else complain about it before.

Do you have a video clip to show the ripple effect you have mention?
Good day fellow Butterfly S users!
I'm new to this forums and I was looking to expand my knowledge on this area.
First off, if I root a phone, what are the pros and cons?
Secondly, if I did root a phone will it get rid of the pink/purple tint with the camera? --Since I read somewhere that this is a software problem..
I notice a somewhat pinkish tint whenever I use the camera in lowlight. I tried reducing the ISO to 100 already with still no change.

I can't answer that because I don't have that issue and I think most of us don't

Rooting won't magically solve any problems with your phone. Rooting won't give your phone superpowers. Assuming it really is a software problem and a solution does exist (such as a modified camera app or firmware or kernel driver), rooting would most likely allow you to install that modified version on your device. Other than that, it won't affect your camera in any way.

AFAIK the generally accepted explanation is that the issue is HW related and caused by the image sensor's sensitivity to heat. I read about a user somewhere who performed tests and found out that the purple tint starts to appear on his device when the temperature inside the phone is >28C. His phone was a HTC One, but the same goes for the Butterfly S, too.
Personally, I did not run any such test though, as my device seems to be among the lucky few which are not affected by this phenomenon :victory:
I attempted to produce the purple tint using the following test after I purchased my phone:
1) 30 minutes of NFS Most Wanted, which "preheated" the device quite nicely ,
2) lights off in the room, so it is lit only the backlight of the screen of my laptop. (this ensures that a high ISO is selected by the camera)
3) camera on -> take some test shots
They were niosy as hell (due to high ISO), but thankfully free of any discoloration.
As for rooting...
If this is the only reason you want to root I would say: don't do it. By itself, rooting wont solve your problems. That is a fact. Rooting could enable you to apply a SW-fix though, if the issue was in fact a SW-related.
(Some say purple, and blue in my screenshot)
Anyone has this issue?
I just heard about this from the links below, and tested with mine.. Unfortunately Mine has purple spots too.
It's been a month since I bought it. Will I get a refurbished one if I ask for a exchange??
Anyone dealt with Verizon regarding this problem?? Any Suggestions?

I just went through the same exact issue with my wife's S4. Different phone I know, but the purple, pixelated artifacts on the screen indicate a camera sensor hardware failure. The phone was still under warranty so I worked through Samsung Help and Verizon Tech Support to troubleshoot. A few things they had me do before sending a replacement phone were:
1. Toggle between front and rear cameras to see if it's present in both.
2. Switch between camera modes and resolutions (if applicable) to see if it disappears in any. Go ahead and zoom in if you could and see if it goes out of view.
3. Clear camera cache and data using the app manager.
4. Start the device in safe mode and check to see if it's an installed app that's affecting it - safe mode disables all non-system apps.
5. Factory reset the device.
After all of that, the conclusion was exactly as I expected: cam sensor hardware failure and warranty replacement. I can't speak to whether you'd get a refurb or new device as a replacement. Probably have a great chance to get a new device if you exchanged it in the store.
I have a project in which I am encountering white flashes while running the application. These white flashes are momentary and rarely happen in quick succession. They also only happen when it's built out and do not appear at the same times across multiple test runs of the application. I've tried several methods of triggering the flashes such as looking into bright areas of a scene and moving the camera rapidly, but this appears to have no consistent relationship with the problem.
I have tried building out to multiple devices (Samsung S6 and S7) and the problem occurs consistently. Furthermore, there is no sign of these flashes when played within the Unity Editor itself (I'm using Unity 5.6). I have searched high and low for anecdotes of people having similar issues and the closest thing I could find refers to 'flickering' as a result of a low refresh rate due to low persistence mode, but the problem I'm having doesn't seem to be the same and hasn't led to a fix.
Has anyone experienced an issue like this and/or have suggestions as to how to identify the cause or better yet fix it?
Got my OP5 days ago, I found there is a constant black wave when I shoot in low light, like the attachment:
Anyone have seen this before? Is it a hardware issue?
Is this happening at any camera orientation and in light source?
I am asking because it might be some weird effect caused by a frequency mismatch (frequency at which the light bulbs emit vs frequency at which the sensor records)
Happening with every orientation, but only with light source. I have not seen things like this use my girlfriend's iPhone. The room light source is not complex, tried using a single light, still see it. So I wonder if it is a known issue or I just got lucky

Now I understand why it happens, I just assume the phone has some kind of mechanism to deal with that, afterall none of my previous device / my girlfriend's phone has this issue.
