Hey its me again, I still didnt solve my pervious problem and here is another one!
I have hot pixels on my front camera sensor! I attatched a picture of me hanging out with a friend and you can clearly see the hot lixels EVERYWHERE! It doesnt hapen in indoor shots nor with the back camera. Should I take it back (the phone)?
I am starting to think that I bought a crappy phone I mean it get hot as hell, I have cellular issues, and now the camera? WTF! K should have bought the One X
That's Normal,the front camera have a low resolution sensor.
Use the back camera.

No no no. It cant be a low resolution problem. In lower light conditions, the photos ale less crisp of course, but dont have theese white dots all over them. I think the sensor might be oversensitive to light or something
Front camera is always bad quality.
It has been designed for HD video, not clear picture camera for every day use.

Yeah, I gues you are right... Should have fought about it a little sooner... Sorry
Front cameras should't be so noisy.
My girlfriend iPhone 4S makes bit noisy and blurred photos, but no hot pixels.

hello guys, i need to know for sure if my camera is defect or not since i need to exchange it by monday.
the pics are attached.
i have taken the pics with and without night mode. the ones taken with night mode are much brighter and have much more severe flare.
is that normal?
Its all good.

Totally normal.

Nightmode increases the iso hence the lighter pictures. You should notice either more noise in the picture or loss in sharpness as the built in noise reduction kicks in. The flare you see is lenses flare from the bright light sources in the picture and us a result of the increase in iso. Its all basic photography stuff, and no your cameras not buffered.
Better quality cameras and lenses can reduce it to some extent but mobile and compact cameras are very limited which us why people pay thousands for dslr's cameras and even more for quality lenses.

how can u say, daytime pics are great, video too. but night and low light is not as good though. u know any other better camera on the market?
Camera lens might be broken
My camera suddenly had problems with focusing and the pictures were terrible/not as good as they used to. Inspecting the camera lens closely did not reveal anything odd.
When I disassembled the back of my phone (removed the battery cover, removed the screws and gently took apart the back of the phone housing) I still could not see anything wrong with my camera lens/cover. The lens/cover is part of the back of the phone housing.
However, then I held the lens/cover up against a really bright light and looked through the lens/cover, I discovered that there are several layers in this lens/cover and that one of them had cracks (looked like a snowflake). It was impossible to see this without disassembling the phone housing and holding the cover up against a bright light looking though it.
Trying to take a picture without the cover everything was perfect. Ordered a new phone housing from ebay the same day...
Your pictures seems to have the same characteristics as mine; not focused and a bit blurry. Try to remove the back of your phone housing and see if that helps. If it does; order a new phone housing.

A camera that only works properly in daylight is a terrible camera, regardless of how good the daytime photos are. Tbh I'm just a bit mad about the night video focus crap.
btw, with the old rom my lens was moving out hitting the glass making a clicking noise, xxkg1 (XEF)
now updated official poland version
( http://www.android-hilfe.de/origina...aki3-i9100xxki3-i9100xxki3-kies-offiziel.html )
and there is no clicking? is that normal?
Also, with the new version (Poland) that has no cliicking, when i change the scene to text (i guess its macro in english) i do get a small clicking sound again - the lens moving against the glass.
quality of the front-facing camera????
Wish I could help you out. All I know is I am stunned at how great the front camera Is in this compared to the sensation.

Hi there, I am wondering if my amaze's front -facing camera has a problem.
I found out that the quality of the front-facing camera of my device is really bad. I am not sure if its normal or it's my problem.
I compared to other devices (samsung gs2x which has 2mp front facing camera), my AMAZE is so bad. See attachment. the color of the pic taken by AMAZE is so yellow/orange and dark ,however, the pic taken by gs2x is in while (which is the wall color).
Do you guys have to same problem too???? the pic taken by front-facing camera is too yellow/orange and dark???
HELP~~~

I am not an expert on this subject, but to me, it looks like the photo you took with Amaze is showing the truer color than the one taken with gs2x.
What is the type of your light source? Did you adjust your white balance according to the source? My walls are white, but it looks yellow under room light. So I would think your Amaze is capturing the true color.
On the other hand, if the photo I take is white(ish), I would assume that it is because the camera is not getting enough light and trying to overexpose, washing away the true color and coming out looking like a black&white photo. Your photo from gs2x looks like that.
In any case, the front-facing camera is optimized for taking close-up snapshot of people facing it. The target must be lighted with external light source because there is no flash light for the front facing camera, and you should adjust the white balance if you need good results. You should compare photos taken in this condition to see which camera is better.
Other thoughts:
You can download and try different camera apps from Market.
You can wipe the data in 'settings/applications/manage applications/all/camera/clear data'.
Go to a T-Mo store and compare with the store demo machine.
etc.
Sorry my comment became so long. I was just gonna say 'try white-balance', but thought it better to explain why I think this way.
My front camera is very dark and can not be used for anything other than showing your silhouette when putting your head infront of a bright light I will post pictures of a bright room. Taken from the front camera and the back. Is any one else having this problem?

I have the same problem: images from the front camera are too dark. Useless for video chat unless the face is illuminated directly by a strong light source.
Luckily, I don't generally use video chat, so it's not a deal-breaker for me. But still, an annoyance.

Yes, I agree, got my S yesterday, n checked the front camera n the image is blakish until u put light on face.
Its gonna be very difficult for video chatting.
It's strange this is from a natural source of light. And it is a lot better. Maybe it could be something to do with the type of light. I'am glad it is not only me.

The front cam is ok wen it is focussed on natural light even I to face the same problem...
The cam is dark wen I take it to my room for video chat but its absolutely fine when I take it out to sunlight
So it depends on the type of light and the brightness of light
So in short dont worry your tab and cam is ok there is no defect....guess since it is 0.3mp. It dosent have the ability to capture dim light perfectly....

I agree on that, its dim and dark only when inside room, but in natural bright sunlight or where there is more light, it acts normally.
I don't have this problem when video chatting with my friend using QQ, but they are all during day time.

Here is a picture with the front camera (the dark picture)
And the other is a picture using the back camera (the light picture)
It is not an exaggeration they are both in the same amount of light. The light is artifical light.

Hey.. I've looked so hopefully its cool that I post about the Tmobile galaxy s 3 front facing camera quality issue... when I aim the cam at myself, the quality looks great until I take the actual picture and then its kinda washed out and looks like its been edited with the smooth option.
Anyone aware of this or find it annoying? I wonder why it reverts to a horrible quality after you snap the pic.
Unedited pic just now

Try taking pictures in well lit room or outdoor sunny pics come out crisp the sensor on the camera dosn't do to well in low light you can try to turn up the iso on in settings but it over saturates the pic in my option . Btw Hyper X has a nice mod that dose improve overall image quality and Video quality on the S3 however i have had very little success trying to get it to work on the US variant past 720p mode in video mode i swapped my phone for I9300 and the mod works perfect. check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691145 hope this helps .
try not expect too much from a 1.9 mp camera sensor
This is not only with the front facing cam, but also with the one on the back.
When I take the picture, it looks great, but when I view it... it's washed out and looks more ugly.
Looking for a fix for this.
YZ.
I think I found it out.
When you enter the camera app, you phone sets the brightness level to 100 %, but when you view it, if your brightness is lower than 100 %, the picture looks washed out.
Try setting the brightness to 100 %.
YZ.
I will recommend use to use Camera360 instead of stock camera app. It has significant improvemance. I have tested many and Camera360 DOES make difference!
Nope.. its the camera.. again, when aiming at myself (front facing) the quality looks great on the screen but when its taken, the quality looks less than vga quality... why does that happen?? I may return the phone

I'll say this front facing camera isnt all that as well. Hell, the camera itself doesnt look too good either. I pulled out my rezound and took pictures side by side, flash/no flash, and the dna has a lot more noise and grainy over the rezound. Front and rear camera...
Its been like that since the EVO LTE came out the grainy effect . I actually likev the ffc but it is off putting to see that much its new to me but I see your point I think mods will clean that up like with the EVO hopefully
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
The issue is probably compression and higher ISO, people said the same thing about the One X until camera mods came out to fix the issues.
I'm considering buying the DNA for my girl for christmas. Any of you mind throwing up front camera pictures so I can compare with my One X and GN2?
Garbage? It shoots decent quality 1080p video and 2.1MP stills. It's better than the iPhone 5's front camera in every respect. What did you expect, a full frame dSLR sensor? Images are extremely better than the front camera on my old Thunderbolt.

I would hope the Italics are true.
I have the DNA as well and can say that the front-facing camera (with good lighting) is excellent. Colors seem a tad bit washed, but that is a very MINOR criticism.
However, I would not go as far as to say it is better than the iPhone 5's. I despise Apple and its stranglehold attitude, but the front-facing camera is not superior.
