Here is an example picture taken of a white piece of paper in indoor day light with no flash:
Oh i see, Mine looks like a green spot, but iv only checked under florescent light.
Can't use the poll, but I have it. I can only see it on a white background though, Samsung needs to release some makeup for this problem

scratch that ... its still there pink while taking the pictue ... but the actual photo can vary from still being slightly pink to slightly green dipending on light levels.
Only under certain conditions. The same conditions produce pink spots on most camera phones. I saw a celebrity tweet a picture of his new kitchen worktop the other day (dont ask), it was taken with an iPhone 4 and had a big juicy pink spot..
After the HD2 early pink spot issue, which was rather extreme and showed up all the time i learned to counteract it in photoshop, so the rare occasion it shows itself now doesn't bother me.
Does this affect video recording too? Or just taking pictures?
hi guys,
I posted this 5mins ago in another thread, but thought i'd post it here as it may be of some use to anyone coming here, especially with an aptly titled thread such as this..
''for anyone experiencing the 'pink issue'... when you notice it, try changing the white balance setting from auto to the appropriate for your current lighting conditions...
there was a thread i started on the subject, and after numerous tests between myself and others we decided it was down to the auto white ballance setting not keeping up...
for example, if your indoors, with room lights on, and you have the pink area when looking at a white wall or carpet, try switching to incandescent white balance mode... the phone seems to have issues judging the correct white balance level...
mine disappears as expected, so i feel it just requires a little more intelligence behind the auto algorithm on samsungs behalf... if its feasible...
after talking to my friend, a photographer, he explained he's seen this in dedicated digital cameras before in the past, although not so much now, but that is why when taking quality shots you always use the correct settings for the subject and lighting...
sorry for the threadjack, just don't want people feeling like their hardware is letting them down, software can/may fix the issue...''
my thread was posted in a matter of days after the first SGS2's were realeased in the UK, so it been long forgotten now.. lol
heres my old thread, i hope this will be of help to some of you...

Nicely said, nice to see someone do some research before posting something and starting mass histeria.
Here is an example of the pink spot with my old HD2, which was very bad for it initially, until a patch was released.
The first is the original, the second is a quick 30 second correction in photoshop.

As you can see, its easily corrected. If anything i went a bit too far correcting it, but it literally took 30 seconds from opening to saving.
i have green spot on auto and incandescent white balance modes.
In other modes i dont have a green spot.
Is there a known fix for it?
I have the pink spot too, on auto white balance. Maybe it will be fixed in future cam firmwares, i'm bothered more about the 2 clicks that my camera makes whenever i start it or switch to video mode. Do you cameras click twice when you initiate them and when switching to video mode ?
I clicked yes for the poll, but tbh it's so slight that I only get it when taking photos of just white stuff. I can't see that happening enough to bother me. (This is with the camera settings reset to default.)

I noticed that, but i don't know if that's normal behavior, as some users say it isn't and that their cameras don't do that One guy said samsung reps told him to get the phone back for repairs or replacement.
Out of the box, I had this issue and another camera defect: Black spot on the lense
I must be really unlucky that Samsung QC failed in detecting dust specks on the camera... It's really extremely obvious... Sent it back to the service centre for repair...

Does everyone have this issue?
Has any work around been found?
I am a published photog and while I surely didn't expect anything of consequence out of the camera on the phone, I did expect that I could at the very least take decent indoor flash pictures for my regular job.
Have adjusted the WB and tried all other types of settings which should affect it and it's still rather green.
It would be great if someone had a resolution?
Yes I read through the threads on other phones which are experiencing this issue...I only care about the 3D however as that is what I own...for the time being.

Here is a close-up of my receipt i posted in a thread yesterday in a dark room, inches away, flash on, of a reflective white subtrate...it should be so goddamned white that it washes out the printing....
I'm currently have mixed feelings. I'm clearing off and boxing up my EVO3D as we speak...the phone is just boring stock. Thank god I kept my 4G.
If and when it gets unlocked I might get another...I might get an SGS2....or I might just stick with the 4G. It already does _everything_ I need very well. I only wish I could say the same of the 3D currently.
...sho am gunna miss dat resolution though.
I in no way expect the EVO 3D to produce what my Nikon equipment does...I'm not that naive.
I do at least expect to get something remotely the correct color when using the flash however...otherwise, what the heck good is it?
The example posted above shows exactly what the green looks like..on mine, my sisters and my friends 3D as well. We all got ours from different corporate stores.

Just took a bunch of shots like the other guy. The first one was about half as green as his, second was half of that, third was only slightly green, 4-8 were perfectly white, but bluish green color of a real object was more bluish than greenish as it should have been.
That tells me that the problem is in the flash light itself. Is it possible that the flash is reflected off of the back door, maybe even off of the red ring or something?
eek ..dimly lit room(no not the bathroom ) shot a roll of white tp ..greenish hue like a nightvision effect...hmmm
It absolutely is not the flash unit itself. It is a software issue.

It makes sense to me that it's the color of the flash light.
1) The white turned slightly green, and the bluish green was ok.
2) Then the greenish white was corrected to be white, but the bluish green became bluish.
But it's difficult to tell without more testing...
Yes, the white balance is sometimes WAYYYY off when the flash is used.
ya my pics are greenish with flash as well
WOWWWW!!!! Just took a few pictures and I also have a greenish tint to all of my pictures. Not as green as daneurysm's but definitely green. Took pictures of the same paper with my Epic & the flash totally whited out the picture. So another chink in the mighty 3D's armor. I don't know about the rest of you but I am bored to death with this phone and tired of waiting. I'm with you daneurysm, I'm returning mine first thing tomorrow. So glad I never got around to putting my OG Evo on Craigslist! Back to the Evo 4G forum I go. Flashing the new MikG as I type. Wish you guys luck with root and everything but I for one can't wait around anymore.
Would this be greenish? Its nothing like the pic of the receipt.

I've been saying since day one that my indoor pics were either GREEN or BLUE and outdoors they're YELLOW! THE general consensus towards anyone who has issues with this damn phone is we either don't know what were talking about or don't recognize the awesome value of this phone.
By no means did I intend on opening a photography studio with this phone but I did intend on having better pics than the 4G and compared to the 3D, my 4G takes amazing pics..
I cant get this to happen to me

It's a done deal man and I don't regret it. Though, ironically, the only thing I miss is the 3D that I talked mad **** about. But that's not biggy.
I never realized how bored-to-death I was with that phone. I'll happily buy another if they fix the 3G through a radio update and unlock soon...but...I'm not holding my breath...in fact I'm not holding my breath for anything at this point. Though I did play with an NS4G and, well, it is a sleek little phone and hauls major ass for being barely an upgrade from the evo4g.

Hi,
I got my S2 a couple days back and was watching a movie in a completely darkroom and noticed that the screen wasn't truly black when the title were playing. I initially thought it was an issue with movie so I tested the screen with a pure black screen (*#0*#) and noticed that the screen glowing a tad lighter than black and I had several black patches on the screen. This is extremely annoying when using apps that have a lot of black or when watching movies. the dark patches and streak is also noticeable in the clock app in the dark grey patterned lower area. I have seen this issue mentioned in another post but there is no definitive answer as to whether this problem can be fixed or goes away after some usage. I would just like to know if I should send this in for replacement? What are my other options?
I also noticed that my 3 day old phone already had slight notification bar burn ins and even my google search widget seems to be burning in to the screen. Honestly I am extremely disappointed with these QC issues and this is my second unit as I had the first replaced for other screen issues.
I'd return it now for a NEW replacement, before the time expires. After a certain timeframe, only repair warranty most likely available, and that will probably take longer.
In some cases, it could be only 1 week.

ya I have a 30 day replacement offer so I guess I will be using that. Hope I'm lucky the third time around.
You may already know this, but;
If you send it back and your phone is rooted, custom rom etc, ensure you flash back stock firmware and get a usb jig to reset the samsung custom flash counter and remove warning triangle.

Edit/update
Im on Gingerbread 2.3.3 XWKF3 (India)
If someone could please try this simple test and let me know their results, I would be very grateful.
Test Procedure:
- Find a completely dark room (easier at night)
- goto phone keypad and dial *#0*#
- tap the button that says Black (Vibration)
- now look directly at the screen for a few seconds and let your eyes adjust
At this point do you see?
a) pure black (cannot distinguish btw bezel and screen),
b) an even mild glow, sort of like a backlight
c) a glow along with patches/blotches of pure black?
I see option (c). Could some of you pls do this test and let me know your results. This problem can also be seen, under the same dark conditions, if the clock app is opened. If you have the same problem I have, then you should see dark patches in the grey area.
I tried out before my last reply, but in dim (not dark) conditions, seemed ok.
Now tried as you suggested, and let my eyes adjust for a few second, I can see what your saying.
Maybe this its part of the super amloed + screen?
So in short , I'll take answer C

Maybe more users realise they have through same (or to a degree) , but i suppose if there is no noticeable difference during day to day use (including movies etc), i wouldn't even bother.
In your case, i'd still go with the return for new. No guarantee though...

Photo
Well here's a photo to better demonstrate my issue. It is a little exaggerated by the camera but still pretty accurate. One can also see that the glow has a reddish tint. It was taken with a DSLR in hi res. You can see just how bad it is. Yes this is not that noticeable if the room isn't really dark but it's pretty damn bad in my room with all the lights out. And thats how I usually read at night. I wouldn't even mind an even glow but the splotches are unacceptable.
Ok your screen is clearly a QC fail. Go and exchange it ASAP. The screen does have a faint glow because it needs to be powered, but it should be a VERY faint and even glow perceptible only in pitch black conditions.

Do you use a screen protector? It can be because of that also. Try taking a screenshot by clicking home and power button then looking at the pic on your pc or laptop.

They're artifacts of the screen so you will never see them on a screenshot.
I don't have spots like the picture posted above but there is a line along the screen's perimeter. Is that it? I am getting it all. Whether to ask for a replacement or not.

this really pisses me off, SAMODLED+ is a complete fail
I noticed last night that my S4 has three spots toward the bottom middle part of the screen that show up lighter than the rest of it under dark backgrounds. Now that I saw them, I can't really UNsee them and it's annoying every time I look at it. I was going to try to take it to Verizon and exchange it for another unit and hopefully test it out before I leave. I think for $688 I should have a perfect device. I tried to take a picture and highlight where they are:

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has this problem and what you would do? I'm waiting to get in a chat with Verizon to see what they say before I call the store.
I guess there's only two of us then.

Known to do it or not, if there are devices out there without this problem I'm going to try to exchange it. I did Google it and saw other people talking about it from different devices and they all ended up exchanging it. For $688 the screen should at least be uniform. Though now that I'm actually Googling OLED mura, I'm seeing that they all do have it. That's part of why I wanted to post this, to see how many others had it with this particular phone. Odd that everything I'm reading says it appears on black screens and you can only see it in the pitch black, yet mine is only visible on gray backgrounds and it doesn't matter how bright it is.
Here's another version of my picture, I tried to bring out the three splotches a little better. Just making sure this is in fact mura.

It doesn't look anywhere near that bad, just focus on the three darkest splotches. That whole darker circle is a result of the burn tool in Photoshop. It looks very similar to the first picture when I actually use it, but even that picture makes it look worse than it is... the second picture it just to bring out the three spots in case anyone wasn't sure where they were. I'm actually going to edit the second picture again because it makes it look much worse than it really is.

I'd exchange it for that reason too. Maybe it's just me, but for the price I paid I'm going to try to exchange it until I get something I'm 100% happy with. At least until they tell me I can't just take a new one from the inventory anymore.
Well, went and got it exchanged an hour or so ago, this one doesn't seem to have the smear/splotches and doesn't appear to have any pixel issues either. Camera doesn't lag, buttons are good, I can't think of anything else to check. I think I'm in the clear though.
I always download the Dead Pixel Test from the market and check my phones before I become too attached. It's free and works great. I hate getting a phone all set up only to find a dead pixel or screen problem. On my S4 I can't find any light/darks spots, or any dead/stuck pixels.
Im about to buy a V10 but I has heard about bleeding light on the left edge/corner of the 2nd screen. Is it happen on all the v10 or just some and I can exchange for a new one if it happen to me?
It's all of them...is only noticeable really when the screen is off in a dark room....not a deal breaker for me...this phone is awesome!
Well, its an issue on all v10s, and personally I don't mind it. It winds up looking like a gradient from the top right corner that occupies roughly 5-10% of the main screen, with no line or anything between the first screen and the second screen. I would take a pic for you, but I don't have a camera that can pick it up. What you could do is go into a store and cover the phone with like a jacket or something and look under there while its off to see if you have an issue with it.

Mine definitely has the light bleed that people are talking about but sometimes when i turn the screen off it isn't as noticeable. Doesn't really bother me though
Why is this an issue? It's kinda like just trying to find something wrong!

As the others have said, it's definitely there. It all boils down to personal preferences - it's definitely there on mine and it can be a little annoying at times but I love the phone enough to overlook it. Just basically becomes what you're willing to look the other way on.
Mine has the light bleed ... but it's only noticeable in a dark room when the screen goes dark - then for the next 30 seconds the second screen stays lit and you see the light bleed. Once the 30 seconds passes, the second screen dims and the light bleed is nearly impossible to see.
3 of my associates have this phone and 2 of them do not have any light bleed at all. It doesn't seem to matter if it's an AT&T or Verizon version - some have no bleed, some do.
It shouldn't bother you. Then again, if you're anything like one of my OCD associates, it might make you insane, as he returned 2 of them till he got one that didn't have any bleed.
Mine has it too. I don't think it's a deal-breaker but you will notice it in a completely dark room.
Here's a photo showing it.

This was taken in a completely dark room with a 10 second exposure, at pretty much the worst angle for seeing the bleed.
I can see it on mine in a dark room only. Doesn't bother me one bit
I've gone through 3 devices. The first two were both from an 11/15 batch of phones, and had very noticeable light bleed, with one even having some on the upper left of the main screen as well. On these phones, you could notice it even with lights on as the icon on the left of the second screen was noticeably brighter/more vivid than the rest of the icons, which looked pale and washed out. The third phone is from a 12/15 batch, and is much better. It shows a slight bit of bleed like the picture in the post above, but none on the main screen. The light bleed it does have is really only able to be seen at night in a dark room. Otherwise you can't tell at all and that screen's blacks are just as inky black as the rest of the screen.
LoL. yea i noticed it too. reminds me of my very old CASIO watches when u press the light button to see the digital screen at night. However, not a deal breaker at all. i barely notice it every now and then

how do you know the batch of the phone?
i also notice the light when i looking direct/normal at the screen should I get replacement? i just got it today kind of sad i talk to LG about it they say should I get new phone at the store apparently is a known issue for them
Mine has it also but it is visible only in completely dark room with main screen off and second screen is bright. If both screens are on or second screen is dim (i use auto brightness so this is the case most of the time) it is not visible. It does not annoy me at all. Now i use nillkin leather quick cover case so it is not visible at all because main screen turns on automatically by opening the cover.
Tonight on my way home, the sky above the mountains was a beautiful blood red and for some reason it comes across as orange / pink from far away and pink / white when zoomed in.
This is not the first cellphone camera to have taken photos where the reds didn't come through. My Galaxy S4, S5 and 7 were not able to take pictures of red either, it always turned out orange.
What am I doing wrong to not be able to get reds to translate.
Here are pictures from the different phones. All the red LEDs i used were from the same rolls I bought and were all supposed to be dark red, not orange in anyway. The closest i ever got was the lat photo and it's still only about half way there.

Having a greater understanding of digital cameras and the software used to process the image as well as how they work together will help... I'm no expert, but suspect this link will help...

Could be you need to be using more manual settings when you want to focus on a specific deep color or turn off any automatic processing. Could also be the relatively cheap sensors they're using in cell phones vs "real" camera sensors being used on the higher end in full body shooters.
Looks like you're over-exposing the parts you actually want red by exposing for other parts of the frame. In the mountain shot, there are other spots that are red. The last shot with the clock and hazard button, the hazard button is close, maybe migrating a little into the pink or magenta shades. (Can see a bit of magenta cast in other parts, so a WB adjustment needs to be made.) Shifter photo I can see a bit of red reflecting off of the upper shifter shaft but the actual lights are overexposed if they were red or orange. The bed frame you have some red at the bottom of the frame but as you get closer to the light source it washes out. So overall, I'd say it's an exposure issue that isn't really the camera's fault.
The sky with mountains you're running into a dynamic range issue and that'll be a problem for just about any camera. A scene like that would require more than just a couple of frames blended together. You're looking at a background that is essentially still extremely bright compared to the rest of the frame as it is "indirectly" lit by the sun. The foreground is the next brightest as it is close wide spread light sources. The mountains themselves and band of town directly below them are the bottom end of the exposure and where your reds will get to be reds.
The other issue is that sensors all tend to have a bias towards a color that they shoot well and one they don't. For a VAST majority of sensors, red will tend to blow out first. This goes for large pro sensors all the way down to cellphones. It's just one of the many things you learn when you dive into when really getting to know your tools. That's why high end cameras have had RGB histograms for the longest time, so you can keep an eye on reds clipping. The Camera FV-5 app has the ability to show a live RGB histogram. At this point in my shooting though, I just shoot then look at the overall frame and the areas I feel really matter. If I like it or know I can work with it, I keep it. If not, then I readjust my settings and reshoot.
you miss to take a photo with google camera, on v30!

I think he's saying that you should have used the Google camera app, word is that it takes far better shots on auto, particularly in situations like this where HDR/HDR+ would be on.
It seems it was posted a while back, try giving it a go.
Yes, thank you Septfox. I'm sure that Google Camera app will bring much more DR and overall improved results on V30. Don't forget to come back with conclusions!
Example here (V30 vs Pixel 2, and after V30 with Google Camera vs Pixel 2)
There seems to be a lot of variance on the different versions of the Google Camera app. Even different versions of the same port can be a bit hit or miss. I've had a mixed bag of results with it. Last port I used a couple of nights ago, I ended up using the LG camera app shots instead of the Google Camera app ones.

Reds blow out first. You have to underexpose to prevent that then brighten shadows and the rest up in a photo editing program. Take it with EV -2 say or less as required. Do that and you will be able to do better than the pixel camera
YMMV, a sunset might be too much to get due to difference in the sky and the ground. So help the camera. Take it when its darker but still red that way the difference between brightest and darkest will be less
It always comes down to one thing, silcon based computing can't keep up with carbon based ie. YOU
Thanks everyone for the thoughts and i will try the google photo app.
Update - So I tried the Google Pixel photo app (had to download the APK) with HDR on still doesn't seem to do the job with reds. The elevator button is a solid red, and again looks pink.
Again, you need to dial back the exposure. Just switching apps isn't going to do the trick.
Yep, try using EV -2 as a quick workaround. If that isn't enough you might have to speed up the shutter to go further.
The idea is to expose it right. Red should appear as red in the photo. Never mind if the photo appears underexposed. It can be brightened later.
You are taking a photo of a light source. The elevator button and everything else is darker in relation. This in itself could be tricking the camera into thinking the scene is too dark and it brightens it up and blows out the red.
Cameras still don't know what they are taking photos of. They need guidance
