Latest update fixed the cameras green hue issue - HTC EVO 3D

So I decided to try out the deodexed version of the OTA here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223979
Now I cant reproduce the green hue no matter what. Another member already confirmed the green hue is gone but can anyone else that has updated to the latest firmware see any difference?
Here are some pics I just took.

I did but the thread title was off a bit. That threat title sounded more like a repetitive question/rant thats been asked over and over and majority might not look in there to see what I posted or found with the new update.

That's weird because I'm not experiencing the horrid green hue anymore because of this new update. Try doing what the guy above me said.

That's not the green shift. That's just image noise due to the poor (low) lighting. If you had the green shift, the whole couch would be green instead of a noisy mix of green and purple.

The green is gone on my phone also after the update.
Took a lot of test shots last night.
The only time I could get the green was in very low light trying to photo a distant object. The flash on the phone is only good for a few feet away.
Tried using different setting then used default with jpo instead of mpo file type.

Fixed mine too. Is anyone aware of a list that tells us everything that HTC fixed in this update? I originally thought that the icon issue was resolved too, but it's resurfaced.

Reflashed three times and its still there. I do , however, get an error when flashing. Something about format and blk dev/block/something something......
Any ideas?

the problem with threads like these is that it is mixed with people who know about photography/cameras and people who don't.
if you are shooting indoors -- this is always considered low light. you can turn on all the lights in your house, but it will be nowhere as bright as the sun outside. shots indoors are generally going to be poor unless you know what you are doing.
if you are getting green hues (without the flash), then set your white balance to the appropriate light (ie fluorescent if you are in the bathroom with fluorescent bulbs).

These are good examples of the green hue I was having before. One is taken outdoor with adequate lighting at about 6pm. There was plenty of sun out still. Sun didnt set till 8:30pm. Garage door is supposed to be cream and driveway your regular gray unpainted. The next image is indoor with a 60w flourecent lighting. That blanket is supposed to be brown, closet doors and my sock lol are white. The walls are green though.
This first one below at night with flash. After that is the same floor as my first post under my office desk with the power strip.
So you dont have to go back to the first page here is the shot after the update that I posted in the beginning. Same floor as above just different corner.

I understand the difference between indoor and outdoor lighting, but first of all: the auto white balance should already change it for, hence the name "auto". And second : my og EVO, my old mytouch, and my blackberry never had this problem. I've only seen it on the 3vo.
And I really would like to know if the update DIDN'T fix the issue for anyone else. Thanks.

Green pics in low light...w/o flash!

Anyone else?
Just got mine and every other issue is non existing except a greenish/yellowish tint with a purple hue around the corners in low level lighting. ( I guess it heats up a bit and there is a microscopic chip missing on the very edge of the cam lens), but other than that, the phone is flawless ......so far....

I've been pondering it, but I've seen so many other people with the green pic issue, that i figured it was widespread, and would end up with another with the same problem anyways. I have no other problems, except the light leakage, as you mentioned. Any other minor bugs I had at first went away after a factory reset or two. Anyone have any idea if the green pic issue is hardware or software related?

I've seen over 10 EVO 3ds (family,friends). Not one of then have a hulk tint to their pics...
I've see about 3 tilted screens
One that has a bad battery driver makeing reboot all the time
And all of them have pretty bad light leakage/bad seal at the bottom..
Kinda makes me wonder who the **** quality checked these phones.. and why they still have a job :/

All depends on the store manager one or two for sure... But they become kinda arrogant after that...
You do have a 1 year manufacturing warranty which you can use multiple times if needed (to get refurbished phones only). By calling sprint and asking to speak with "advanced device exchange/tech department"

I'm on my 3rd phone. My first o e had the green pictures. And one the pictures were blotchy and the camera lenses were not even close to being aligned right. 3rd one seems ok so far. They all had light leakage including the current one.

HTC EVO 3D Photo Gallery,

Post your pictures here and rate them
If you made any optimizations to the settings, tell them I think many people are eager to know what you did to get such a nice pictures.
Or some people can help you with those settings if your pictures are coming out bad.
Could you please upload it to a website like www.imageshack.us , www.photobucket.com or the alike?
Keeps the picture big if you use direct link + we wont use too much space of XDA and we dont need to manually shrink/cut them.
End result is that we have a nice gallery to look at when we scroll through it.
Well lets start :

What is Evo 3D picture quality?!?

Hi all!! I've heard that evo3d camera isnt as good as for example HTc sensation... I saw some samples and in fact they are not so good is there any way to improve them by software or the quality depends on hardware??
If you know how to take a picture they can come out fine.If you adjust the settings to your situation the Evo 3D can take phenomenal photos.Most of the pictures you see are user error more than a crappy camera.
Overall the camera is mediocre.But can take descent photos with the right user and settings.

No, but to be fair I have very steady hands. I shoot a lot of still shots at Auto Shows. I love the camera button vs the onscreen button.
This may help.

They both work fine. I take pics with the button instead of the screen but it does seem to have a lil shutter lag. Not really any different than any other phone really. I also have a nexus s that does the same.

It's not a problem with the button, it's just when I halfway press to focus, and then press fully, I end up just slightly moving the phone due to the movement of the button. (if that makes sense) if I really try hard to hold it still, I can take good photos, but I always get a clear photo from using the touchscreen. So, rather than trying my best to use the button, it's just easier for me to not use it.

check out the miui version. The camera is awesome. And for night pictures, the miui camera keeps the led on so the sensor can do it's focus.
I've been thinking about removing the protective covering over the lenses to see if I can get better quality pictures. Do you guys think it'll make a noticeable difference?

Simply because the evo is a higher grade of technology than the swnsation. HTC knows what they r doing. Example, there must have been a reason to stop at 8mp, now every phone company is maxed out at 8mp. Same for 3d, htc puts 2 5 mp camera followed by lg doing the same.

Works some of the time on mine. Think it has something to do with the xda app/tapatalk. Was fine before updated a while back. I found that if you rrotate the phone from portrait to landscape(or vice versa) with the blank picture frame on screen, the picture will appear. (last 2 photos).

[Q] Screen Issues (Pixelation) (Updated)

Hi guys.
I came to realise that some S3 also suffer from black crush like the Note. So I went to try playing the Glee video , the screen went very bad and almost the whole screen is pixelated from 0.36-0.38 (lightings). It's not really black crush but rather bluish white blocks occur on lightings.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cay2dnuhcs
When there's transitions from white to gray, gray to black and vice versa is bad, there are also pixelated blocks there. (last attachment)
Here are some example photos,

The bluish white blocks are too ugly to see. I've compared with the iPhone 4S and the iPhone seems to handle the lightings very well in full brightness(no obvious blocks)
Brightness does the trick too, when I lower the brightness to under 40%, the blocks are not as visible but once I go higher than that, ugly scenes show up again.
supercurio tweeted that there's already a solution for this but I must root my phone to get it fixed. I'm pretty sure that it's not a hardware issue because there's an app that temporarily fix this issue but it may harm my screen as the app itself warned me. The app is "Filter My Screen".
I hope there's a firmware update that will solve this problem so that I don't need to root my phone just to get this fixed.
Helps are appreciated.
Regards
See all the other black crush posts .

I looked through most of the posts about black crush already. I don't think that my issue is black crush, but I could be wrong.
Can someone tell me if the problem I'm having is black crush or this is totally normal?

Maybe you'd get an answer if your pictures actually showed up.... just saying..
Are the pictures not visible?
I re-attached the pictures to show the pixelation issue.
* I came to realise that the app "Filter your screen" does help with the Pixelation issue significantly, but not perfectly.

Hmm. No pixelation issues here.
Could someone explain about the bluish blocks? It's really ugly compared to the iPhone 4S.
For the gray image, you can see the transition from light gray to dark gray, the blocks are visible too.

It could possibly be a low quality version of the video. How is the screen when you perform other tasks? When using the phone to watch youtube check if HQ is enabled and if watching over 3G or HSPA network make sure that 'High Quality over mobile' is enabled.

I've tried all normal quality, HQ and HD quality, the pixelated blocks are still there, even on a 6000 x 4000 image, once there's transition from white to gray, gray to black or vice versa, ugly blocks will appear.
I've tested the gamma calibration with the "21-0 image", I am able to see a gradual fade from 21 to 7 only, 0-7 is pure black.
Help please?

Could be a defect with your phone. You could also try flashing a newer firmware and see if that fixes the problem.
I'm on LF1 now. It's already the newest firmware here in Malaysia if I'm not wrong?
Well, I'm able to get a significant 'fix' by using the "Filter your screen" app, but it's not perfect and it may harm my screen if I use it in a long time frame. So I guess it's not a hardware issue?
Is there any good solution for this?
Helps are appreciated.

The newest unbranded firmware (flashable via ODIN) should work fine on your phone. Yours is the first I have heard with this problem.
We could explain them if we actually had them.
I still cannot see your pictures =S

1. Upgrade your firmware. -OR-
2. Have the handset replaced.
Bumping your thread every 12 hours isn't going to solve the problem.

1. Is there any firmware newer than LF1?
2. Replacing phone here in my country takes at least 2 weeks and I don't have any spare phones.
