Green tint on camera - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else have this? I've noticed this only happens when I take solid color pictures. This is my room wall you can notice a green tint. (its in the center)

I have the same issue. It is not much of a problem though, most cameras behave strangely pointed to a solid bright color.

I'm having this problem as well. It looks more like a sepia look to me around the focused part of image.. Your picture looks same as mine. My pictures before did not look like this. Did you ever find a fix for this or cause?

Just wanted to bump this thread.
My photos end up with a reddish hue in the center of the photo. I've been trying to figure out how to describe this/see if other people have similiar issues. I am not sure if I can get Google to replace if it is a sensor issue or not?
Crappy sort of out of focus photo of hue:

What do I do??

Long story short....Im in love with this phone.
But my first one had vertical lines that ran down the screen and I thought it was just the color scheme but I found out that it is Screen Burn in =(
I returened it and my second has screen burn in too!!
What's with Samsung giving this phone recycled or defected amoled screens
Should I return it and rebuy it in a month or send it into Samsung??
If there are alternatives please share .......

Have any pics, so we have an idea what you're talking about?
Damn it sucks but I don't have a camera buttttt if you pull your notification bar down look at the grey area.....you should see some sort of grid lines that are light
Mine has that but also there are a couple of dark lines that can be seen on everything including pictures.....

ive took a couple of pictures and it is mega bad against light backgrounds ... wonder if this handset is in fact faulty as i have pink tinge on my screen as well .... ive done a screen test and can clearly see pink on white ...

Nexus LED

So has anyone else LED turned blue? Mine is really, really blue.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Iirc the n1 has a teal blue led as well as a dark blue one. What seems to be the issue?
sent from the passengers side of my best friend's ride tryna holla at you.
Its the camera flash LED. It used to be pure white. The one day I noticed it had turned blue. Pictures taken with the flash on a blue washed if you will. That's the only minor issue. It doesn't bother me much. Just curious to see if anyone else's had done the same.

oohhh the camera flash LED i though you were talking about the led ball on the front side of the phone haha.
so when the flash activates for a picture, instead of flashing white it flashes a blue-ish light now? i havent experienced that issue personally myself, sorry
Yeah it flashes blue and in a darkish area when taking pictures it causes the pictures to come out bluish. Like I said, just curious if I'm the only one or if it is something others are experiencing. Doesn't bother me too much.

My Desire is the same now. I blame it on me using the flashlight on Death ray mode too often. I assume its half burned out.

Lol! That makes sense I do the same.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Rarely use it as a flashlight; instead I use a bright screen via 'Color Flashlight' app. Mine is still white.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
Well I found it hard not to use it since it is better than any flashlight I have owned and didn't drain the battery much for the amount I was using it. Better than worrying if your flashlight battery is going to die (no gauge on them)

Abuse the led and it will start dying, big surprise. I suspect walmart has better flashlights than the N1's led, but any decent flashlight will kill it on both flexibility (low to full output), battery life, and of course output.
Look up Fenix. Cheap, work well. Get a 10 pack of 123 batteries online for $15 and it'll last you 5 years or more.
I find the camera always worked better in well lit areas without use of the flash anyways so I don't blame the phone for the led burning out and it doesn't bother me that much. At least it still works.

Lol yeah same here. I got me a surefire 1000 lumen led flashlight now. Brighter than anything I've ever seen. But the blue led looks cool on my Nexus lol.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
After using it for a while and after the LED gets hot, its color will distort. It is a problem with the bulb itself and not any other hardware, such as the plastic piece that covers it. It is a result of age; therefore, there is no way to 'fix' the issue other than just to finally upgrade to a new device or replace the bulb if even possible.
I use my LED flash as a flashlight at max brightness and mine still is not blue yet, wonder why mines seems to be more durable...

Nexus 4 Camera bug

Anyone else experience a bug with camera where some photos taken have random white lines on the edges of the photo?

Here's an example of a photo I took with the lines appearing.

Zoom into the photo and you will see white lines a the right and at the left side.
My pictures don't have such white lines. Maybe it is just a bug of your camera app? Try a different camera app and look if your white lines are still present

yes i mean the two white lines on the edge of the photo. it usually happens when taking pictures in dark environments. i also have camera zoom fx on my phone and tried that and the lines still appear.
anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I am. It seems to be a bug cuz it happens randomly. Can't really replicate it. Tends to happen after messing with zoom.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I had several pictures get funky on me the other day after messing with the zoom. sucks because they were of my little boys birthday, no idea what happens
Same issue on both of my phones and it happens with my friend as well. I figured out a way to reproduce this. Turn flash off and take the image in low light. For example with the room lights off and just the lighting of your monitor will do it. The darker the better. Doing it this way seems to trigger it 8-9/10 times. My friend tested while at work with office, but was still able to trigger it taking pictures of a picture of the serial number on the bottom of his laptop. No zooming was used.
The lines that come up on the right are always 2nd, 3rd, or 4th pixel from the right. On some occasions I have been able to get it to come up as the 2nd and 4th at the same time. On the left side it seems to always come up between the 16th and 20th pixel from the left. I will have to look closer at all of the images to confirm it is always like this.
I am not even sure what to do now...
Thanks for bringing it up.
I just noticed it as well.
I'm also seeing this! bugs the **** out of me!
Mine as well

Kinda odd that since the 4.2.2 update I have begun to experience this bug for the first time as well.
Anyone notice this issue on any other camera app besides the stock?
I hadn't noticed, but mine does the exact same thing. I could always crop that out I guess...
What's worse is the blurring effect I get. You really see it on the hand and ear. Anybody have this or know how to fix? Stock, rooted. Happens on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2

Turn off HDR. Since it averages three images, it's not good for moving subjects
Just tested it on Camera Zoom FX app using TTZip's steps and was able to reproduce the problem there too. Could this be considered a hardware defect?
Also experiencing this.

Bad camera

I noticed that my camera quality is really bad. If you look close to that picture, there is much noise and all the borders are blurred. Even if I look at the spot I focused. The colors also are quite bad... My friends phone make better pictures, we compared them in the same situation.
A sample picture: http://db.tt/Ea3BQKwq
Can I do anything to make Google fix my camera or to get them do a full RMA?
I can't live with such a poor quality

There is nothing wrong with your phone's camera. However, poor lighting conditions and a shaky hand may have something to do with it ;P

All nexus 4 cameras use the same Sony sensor. RMA won't do you any good, as you can see Google's imaging software is garbage when compared to skinned uis like Samsung or even iOS...

I remember I read something about a better camera on all rev11 devices compared to the rev10 devices. Better satuation, less washed out colors etc. So I tried my friends rev11 n4 and the colors are better, the borders aren't blurred/noisy.
