Everyone's Flash Pictures Green Tinted? - HTC EVO 3D

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
I even placed it on a green place mat
Left no flash, right with flash

@OP it might have been your light source at the time?
or is this constant. try setting your ISO at 800.

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.

I know this has been discussed in another thread
I have the camera pink spot issue and I am curious as to how widespread this issue is...

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...

For those interested, includes pics

Within the first week of the evo3d launch, I decided to return my telesales EVO3D to sprint retail store due to lockups (battery pull). The Encino, CA Sprint store employees were a bunch of tighty whitey types, but nonetheless, they exchanged it out after 20 min of going back n forth.
The new phone at first glance appeared NORMAL, but once i started setting up my evo to the way i liked it (within minutes), i noticed a brown/yellow hue to the screen, specifically towards the whites. At first i thought my eyes were playing tricks and i was tripping out,.
Long story short, I couldn't get over it. I dealt with for a few days and decided no effen way, is this the epson vs novatec bull all over again? So i posted and at first, nobody really noticed, even those with multiple evo's... But recently, I see more and more threads about this very exact thing.
With term.emu, i decided to go through all the evo3d's in my possession, total of 4 (returns for locks, and 1 for defective charge input)..
what i found is that Novatec is building screens for sharp or in some fashion assisting. 1 Panel Type appeared as NOVATEC === SHARP NT or something.. and the rest have all been SHARP.
2 out of 4 EVO'd has the yellow hue affect and the other 2 had the bright white or fake white effect.
side by side comparison with brightness @ 100% showed the yellow hue screen to be somewhat more realistic as opposed to the bright white (Fake white). But, that doesnt mean, at least for me, it looked better. The bright whites were more attractive to me.
I also noticed 2 different MircoSD brand. SANDISK and KINGSTON class 4. Testing showed the both performed the same, read/writes up to 15MB/s per the windows file transfer of a 1.6 gig movie. (how accurate windows is not important bc it simply is the baseline as they both performed the same)
now for the pictures. .. my camera couldn't pick up the fine color difference like the naked eye, but here is a peak.. in real life, the yellow is much much more apparent.

Thanks for this..I was upset with the yellow-ish tint with my 3vo but after having it for a week it seems easier on the eyes.Then i used my wifes evo4G with the bright fake looking whites and im happy with the warm tint.
But now we have some better proof with your photos,thanks.

I have a H/W 0002 with "PANEL_ID_SHR_SHARP_NT" and yellow looking whites. It is annoyingly yellow, however the white balance is very natural. Human eyes are easily fooled into thinking things are "whiter" when a blue tint is applied, so it's only natural we feel the blueish tinted ones are better. However I'd take accurate color reproduction over my immature reaction of "yucky", so I'm happy.
Its apparent that others are not happy with the phones they have and are replacing them.
My 4th seems to not have any defects, no freezing or locks yet. Seems like 4th time is the charm here. It not suppose to take 4 phones to be happy though.
Thanks to all these posts I have now noticed that i have a yellow screen. Thanks for giving me something to be obsessed about.

[Q] Galaxy SII blueish tint on screen, anyone?

Hi,
Just got my Galaxy SII today.
Compared to my old LG Optimus 2X, the screen is very dim, although very colorful. The whites are incredibly blue, as can be seen here:

The Optimus (to the left) is with automatic brightness enabled, and the SII (to the right, duh!) is with brightness set to max, manually.
The screen seems VERY blue compared to the Optimus.
Is this normal with the SII?

There's definitely color variations across different examples of the phones ranging from cool to warm. The warm seems to bug people more than the cool. In this long and painful thread you can see some pics of other phones side-by-side to see where yours falls.

I had a G2X, the O2X's bastard relation. I liked the G2X display but thought the contrast was just OK and it didn't perform well in daylight. The SGS2 screen because of the black-blacks and exaggerated colors took some getting used to. After two months, I look at an LCD display now and go ewww. You'll probably feel the same way when you get over the shock. Watch a movie, that'll make you feel better

I appreciate your input, although the blue is so bad, it gives people in the vids a kind of smurf-ish look.
And besides that, the off-center viewing angle makes the blue tint even worse. The reviews praise the wide viewing-angle, which is as arrow as about 30-40 degress before the colors gets distorted.
ammm,,,i dont think that that much bluish tint is normal,,,,u sure u dint get a faulty handset??i mean yeah super amoled plus has a bit of a bluish tint,,,,but man! thats too much blue....(ps-i compared mine to some lcd screens so dont tell me to place it beside one)

yes,,Amoled technology alwayz had this issue,,,its very slight,,,u can not notice it that easily,,,but that much blue is not normal...
It actually seems as you'll have to look at the phone from a very straight angle, as only a few degrees will result in the blueish colors. And the weird part is - going a few degrees further will result in normal-ish colors (yet still very dim) - and afterwards turn into blueish again, "the rest of the way", if you catch my drift.
I'd go blue over yellow any day. But that's too blue and whoever you bought it from would have to be blind to not see it; return it. I hope you didn't buy it off eBay...

Got my galaxy s2 couple of days ago from expansys, it has no blue tint or yellow left side, the only thing it has is on lowest brighness setting on grey background bottom right corner you can barely see some kind of ring like shadow . Good thing you can only see it under that situation only.
Feel bad for others with blue tint and yellow side , get replacement ?
My captivate(SGS 1) and SGS2 both have same even whites.
Hard to see even harder to photograph shadow ring.
The ring thing is called the "coin syndrome".
The service center wouldn't acknowledge the blueishness as a defect, even though my phone compared to a demo GSII was an electronic smurf.
The blue tint is probably from the Gorilla Glass coating.

Surely this can be fixed with an update to give an option for colour temperature though...
Make sure yours is not in econo mode. It takes all the pretty colors away and places a pee looking filter on everything. (but hey it does save some power )
According to one review I read, the prime is "Brighter, blacker blacks, decreased glare, and less backlight bleed on the Prime."

My screen isnt that yellow... The colors are ok but my touchpad is on par with it. Backlight bleed is still an issue with the Prime, just hope your one of the lucky ones with no bleed.
I have backlight bleed but its not too bad, i can deal with it.
I usually just run my prime with the lowest brightness setting with super ips mode turned on... Looks good and also saves power (i get good battery), plus i can perfectly see the screen in any condition unless im at the beach...
Could someone make some screen pictures of the 1st gen Transformer next to the Prime? I'm really curious how these compare colour wise.
Hey, this is really similar to the issue the iPad and iPhone had in the beginning.
iPad 2 News: What’s That Yellow Blotch On The iPad 2 Screen
Put simply, that means the glue holding the glass together is not completely dry. So if your iPad 2 is suffering from a case of yellow fever, don’t rush back to the store and try to exchange it. (Good luck with that, since waiting times for delivery of new units are now 2-3 weeks.) Just use it for a few days and the blotch should disappear, just like those on the iPhone 4.

I did took a few pictures but coz I'm a newbie I can't post links in my reply, if anyone wants to see it I can PM you the link or helping me post the links.
I was able to get two Primes. One from gamestop and one from Adorama. The grey one from amazon had a yellowish tint and made the gold one from adorama look amazing in comparison . They both have light leakage but I can only see it during bootup. imo if you are unhappy with the colors of the screen then send it back and pray for a better one. I think from now on I'm going to buy more than one and keep the better of the two. I also think the wifi is a little better on the gold one, but both are weak in comparison to my galaxy 10.1. I do find the prime to be a bit faster and smoother than the Samsung . I think the first thing anyone should install is thumbs keyboard best AP by a long shot.
I might be going crazy, but it does seem like the yellow on my 5 day old prime is slowly going away.
Maybe its the same issue the iphone 4/4s had where the glue has to dry? I know my 4s was yellow when I got it but now I dont see any yellow.
I think it has more to do with color temperature than anything. I get headaches staring at overly cool temps, so a yellow tint actually ends up being a bit of a plus in my book...
Make sure you are on balance mode... the colors are much better and less yellow.

Agreed. Samsung is notorious for very cold screens. The screen on my Epic 4G Touch is downright blue, particularly noticeable when reading ebooks. By contrast, the screen on my Motorola Photon is much warmer and hence whites are better. Given a choice between a bit of a blue bias and a little yellow, and I'll take the latter any day.

Is the screen made by multiple manufacturers? With my HTC Sensation, Sharp makes some of the panels, and AUO makes the rest, and the Sharp panels are by far better than the yellowish AUO panels. Just throwing out a possible explanation.
Got my 32gb champagne Prime today. And also noticed the yellow screen. Don't know what store it came from because I bought it for ebay.
Coming from a Galaxy tab 10.1 and can compare them side by side the Prime is yellow and Galaxy tab is white.
Had a Motorola Xoom before and that also had this yellow stuff, not as much Prime but it was there.
Maybe I noticed the yellow more now because I coming from Samsung white screens.
Hopes it gets better with time because I have no chance to go and change it because it bought over ebay. Maybe it's the clue hat someone mentioned, may tab has been out on a journey over the seas and is cold and tiered so maybe when it have got som warm and rest it will perform better

Thanks for the PICs, does not look good though... (here they are):
Left is ogT right is TP
SCARY! hope mines not like that!

Can someone confirm about bleeding light on the left edge/corner of the 2nd screen?

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!

Doing that in a store will make you look very suspicious
It'll look like you're trying to steal the phone lol :laugh:
Anyhow it's there but it's really not a big deal
I switch off the second screen at night, I set it to private mode anyway :good:

well it's literally a hardware issue, I think I will just go to a store and test it, If it is not a big deal, then I will buy it or wait till LG fix it because I saw some look that pretty bad on youtube
Mine has it as well but it doesn't bother me one bit. One of the perks to having a backlit screen but the trade off is great for direct sunlight viewing

Well, you could let the store associates know about it first. [emoji13]

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.
