I haven't had this problem till yesterday, and I'm getting very angry by it not because I love taking selfies, but cause I bought this phone for $600+ and a month later its a defect?
How is this possible? I wiped the cache in the power+VUP+Home screen, I went to camera app settings and cleared data/cache, I don't know how it got there and it's VERY annoying
The ONLY thing I can think of his it got there due to heat, I went to the pool and I left my phone in my wife's purse under a shirt so the son wouldn't hit it but I guess it was still hot inside. because for a month and a half I never had the dot. and yes I've read about the "only shows in low light" ive taken plenty of low light shots and never saw if there prior to 2 days ago
The front facing camera produces a purple line through the top middle of my display and when I snap a photo it remains. Is this hardware? I tested it with the google camera app as well. This is a Samsung Galaxy S6
The camera on the back of my phone recently developed a reddish-purple spot in the middle of the lense. I tried cleaning the outside of the lense really well, and it does not appear to be scratched on the outside, I'm wondering if dust somehow got inside the lense. all of my pictures now have a dot in the middle of them. Can this be fixed, or can my phone be replaced?
So close to being done with this phone as much as I like it. I've had so many problems. I now have purple dots on my selfie mode camera. They don't go away and Ive done a hard reset, too. I backed up using smart switch and when trying to restore I am getting an error and can't get my stuff back from smart switch. So frustrating. And even with the reset I still am having the small purple dots.
I bought samsung galaxy s5 and everything was alright but yesterday i saw the black spot in the center of camera it stays on the pic and videos. I hard reset my phone twice i have few scratches on lens glass but I don't think that's the problem why i see that grey, black circle in center its the same size and its in the same spot as focus on cam ?
Today i updates my galaxy s2 through Samsung Kies. Everything went well and it took about 10 minutes to complete. There is one small problem though i have a pink spot now on my camera!!
So about a month after I received my Galaxy S6, my front camera, the selfie camera, became very blurry. There is a small circle in the middle of the screen that is crisp and clear. The rear camera is as amazing as it should be. I don't have a screen protector covering it and it's been cleaned multiple times. I've tried everything and looked up everything I could.
I know rogers will be carrying their version of the Galaxy S starting in September, but as of now, do any carriers in North/South America have the Galaxy S with a front facing camera? If not, I may just jump on the captivate.
I've had my S6 for nearly two weeks now, and I've noticed a strange trend when taking photos with the front camera. Things that are relatively up close such as my face end up being a tad blurry whereas everything in the background is nice, sharp, and detailed. No matter how I position my face in the shot, despite it recognizing my face, it just won't bring it into focus. After a few more shots, it doesn't look like the front is auto-focusing at all. I've checked all of the camera settings, and everything is defaulted except for Beauty mode which I have set to 0. How possible is it that this is a hardware defect?
When you have the front facing camera on with no effect, it is very laggy and choopy , however when you add an effect like black and white for instance, the picture is much smoother?
I believe this may be an issue on all devices. It seems like the issue is prominent when taking close up photos. The issue affects the top ~15% of the screen and the bottom ~15%. The only purpose of having a front facing camera is for the ease of selfie shots.
I've noticed that the front facing camera on my S6 will not focus on my face if I try to take a picture. The rear camera is wonderful, and I've looked at the front camera on a friend's S6 and it was fine. So it just seems to be my phone. Otherwise, I love it and think it's great.
Actually i dont know how to toggle off the beauty mode on the front camera and its causing a lag in the camera. Secondly how to enable touch focus while using the front facing camera?
Recently got galaxy s6. I am facing one issue, my front camera lags in no effect mode especially in low light. As soon as i click wkde mode lag goes away. With 3rd party app front camera is not lagging.
I just bought a SAmsung galaxy S 6 smartphone. While I am recording a video i cannot by any means change the camera to front facing.There is no option no icon only the capture icon on the left (in order to capture in a pic what i am shooting at the moment), the square icon to stop the video and the pause icon on the right corner.
So I have my galaxy s5 for about a year now. So just today I noticed that when I switch to my front facing camera a faint green line shows up across the top of the screen. My rear facing is fine and my screen it self is fine. Why this is happening. It's even on snapchat and my stock camera app.
I got the galaxy s6 edge about 2 weeks ago, and noticed that when I tried to take pictures with my front camera the pictures look very weird. Like everything is too bright and my face looks like i have a ton of make up on or i have been airbrushed or something. It is just very weird. I have tried turning the beauty setting to zero and turning HDR off. Still has not fixed the problem.
The back camera does not have this issue, it takes nice pictures. Also, my s4 front camera did not do this, it was a very good front camera. So i feel like the s6 front camera is a downgrade, what happened?
So I just noticed something weird about an hour ago. When using the camera, I find a small, subtle, deformed line. When I zoom in to the area, it gets bigger.
I've tried other camera apps, but it's still there. As far as I know, I did not scratch the lens in any way. I took a video yesterday that doesn't have the line on it.
It was there on the Verizon 12a update, and did not disappear when I got the small update. If it gets to the point, I can easily replace the lens, correct?
Okay, so camera always worked perfectly. Yesterday received KitKat update 4.4.2 and now in low light conditions my camera has a purple hue.
This is not a hardware issue. It is clearly a software issue and the 4.4.2 KitKat update appears to be garbage. My girlfriend has the exact same issue since updating to 4.4.2.
I have noticed of late, when using my camera that sometimes I get purple lines going across the screen. This only seems to happen when using the camera via the native Apple "Camera" app. Â
I got my Xperia pro yesterday, and when I tried testing the camera I found photos taken with it had huge translucent purple bars across them. This happened with every photo I attempted take. I then exited the camera app and went back in, and when I tried to take another photo it simply displayed "unknown error" and the app closed. It now does this every single time, meaning I cannot take photos at all.I cannot find any other reports of this issue online, and I have myself tried formatting the SD card; performing a factory reset on the phone itself and reinstalling the software using the PC Companion. None of these have worked and appears to have actually made the issue worse; now it will sometimes refuse the start the app altogether and display "Camera not available".
I have an Xperia Z2 updated with android 4.4.4. When I try to take pictures at night I just get purple photos. This started just a few weeks ago out of nowhere. Let me say that the lens is not dirty nor blocked by anything. I don't have a case. I have just restored the phone today with Sony PC Companion and still the same issue.
I've searched and can't find an answer to this. Lately (more and more) my Tour is taking pics that are purple and half-screen. Anyone know why? Is there something I can do to fix this? I pull my battery every morning and charge my phone every night. Please help, I have a 2 year old who has finally decided to let me take pics of him and now I'm missing the cuteness..
While I'm not a huge photo taker, I find it really annoying to snap one and have this purple tint above it. I've noticed that my camera cover has tiny scratches in the center. I'm pretty sure that's what is causing the purple tint maybe the reflection of the light.
I can see a black spot on screen when the camera is on. Its not there when the front camera is on. I got my phone serviced 2 weeks back from an authorized service centre.
I just got my z3 less than a week ago, today I notice pink spot with the camera and all the photos I take. Is this a software issue or should I take it to sony a.s.a.p? Sample photo:
