Hello guys.
I need your help.
I bought my SGS2 in 01.08.2012 but today I was taking some shots with it, and after I take a photo to a polish i poited the camera to the ceiling and the camera just went crazy.
There are a bunch of pink, green, blue all over the place, it's very strage.
I upgraded the firmware to ICS a few days ago, so I tought it could be a bug problem so I downgraded to Gingerbread, that didn't solve the problem so I went to this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098834 and tried the camera upgrade... but still nothing.
I'm very sad with this, can anyone help me? Or at least let me know if its a hardware or software problem?
Let me just say the white balance is selected as AUTO.
Here are two pictures of it.

My friend and I both have sensuous black x10i, both bought from the same carrier and when we got updated to 2.1 (hers first, because i bought mine this year and she had hers since last year) the phones didnt get continuous AF on video mode. I used to have an x10 mini that i bought factory unlocked, and when i got the 2.1 update it did get it, and you could easily see the video refocusing while recording a video. however, none of our x10s can do that. we got the first 2.1 update but to get the multitouch update i flashed both of them to a generic kit and STILL we didnt get continuous AF in the video.. we have both searched in the camera settings menu for a setting to turn it on/off but without luck.
is it possible that some x10s didnt get this? because if it was just mine i would have thought that it was a mistake with mine but its weird that it happened to both.

Hmmm....very weird indeed. Ive had auto focus working since 2.1 was released. I would say maybe it's a hardware problem on your phone, but since its both of your phones, that would seem really strange.
I just checked my phone right now, and auto focus was snappy good.
I guess all I can say is try reflashing the firmware on both phones...unless someone else has a better idea???
Are you 100% sure AF isn't working??? Is the lense clean on both phones???
there are few factors that auto-focus could fail(software/hardware):
1. the subject is too close or too far.
2. the subject or environment is not properly lit.
3. the subject does not have enough contrast(since the autofocus is based on contrast detection).
4. your moving the camera too fast(even before the initial focus lock comes in), try waiting for it to lock.(if possible).
5. check the metering(though this is for whitebalance and scene detection, it might help to play around it)
6. or worse the camera of your x10 is damaged, dirty(inside, but i think it more likely not).
I went to the house of the girl i sold my old x10 mini to to check something out.. we tried shooting the same thing from the same angle, gettign closer and further from it to see if it would refocus, and the mini did it right away and you could easily notice it in the screen and you could also see the lense moving back and forth inside the phone (and feel it in your hand as it moved), but again my x10 didnt do it. and also today I saw someone i know that has an x10 (not my friend from the first post, another girl) and also had the same problem and she also bought it from my carrier (hers is still branded but mine is unbranded)
so its safe to asume that this happens to all the x10s of my carrier (orange, dominican republic)
have you noticed that the subject in your video is in focus or is there no focus at all? it may be working better then you thought. remember, just because you can't see it the focus changing, doesn't it's not continuous auto focus, maybe it just rocks...?
sent using my wicked awesome premium xda app
it doesnt focus on things that are closer to the camera at all. and the x10 mini i mentioned before DOES focus on the same thing at the same distance.
Hello XDA Developers,
I would like to know how to get the purple fringe issue fixed for my xperia neo v
i mean to say that when i take pictures in night with flash on i get the purple fringe on my screen which is also visible in the picture, kindly help me in this issue
Regards.
Turn Autofocus -off!
Autofocus, when trying to focus- focus it-s own 'glass" from camera and you see that "ghost"...
Purple fring problem Solved
Dear nitin19288,
Purple fringe comes because of leackage of flashlight into the back cover . Put a piece of black paper or something else between camera and flash then close the back cover. Then bingo... Problem has gone... I have tried it. You also try it and tell me if it solved your problem. Sorry for poor english.
Well f..k that if you have to do your own hardware modification...IT is A HARDWARE MISSTAKE of camera and it HAS to be removed or changed...Go to your service and INSSIST them to solve a problem....
Wright now, today, I went back my neo-v because of this problem...They said "it;s probably a software problem", bat I told them not to lose time on flashing etc, it's a hardware, feleric camera!!!
They said if it's hardware, they will replace just camera lens, not all phone...Will see what they could do next week...and how much will I have to wait...
And definitely if they replace it with good working one - PHONE GOES TO MARKET...And bying newone, NEO with 8mp witch as I see dont have any problems...
Hi,
I've seen those purple shodows too. I'm on neo v. Just take of backcover and clean lens, worked for me.
Will try this blck-piece-of-paper workaround.
Thnx and greets

Does anybody known how to fix the pink spot issue?
yES! Take it to the service where you bought it...We gave a lot of money for this telephone, so dont be silent, fight 4 your money...u dont need feleric phone, take it back...
well I don't think that this is a hardware problem becuse I have it too BUT only on roms based on FXP sources on stock roms I just don't have that problem so I would say that this is software problem
Mine is STOCK rom, bootloader locked,,,everything STOCK, just rooted and thats all...And I have this problem from bying...
EDIT- Today I contact service and they said that is a hardware problem, and new camera modul comes this week, maximaly in monday...
Hello again...Service center FINALLY solve this problem.It is a feleric LED FLASH, not camera module...They changed several times just camera and problem still exixted...And then they change a part of board with LED diode for flash and that was a problem...
So everyone, if U have warrinty, go to your service center and solve it
Facing same problem..will try that back cover thing..
Can't get it...a feleric led flash..haha..its a diod and like a bulb..how can it be feleric..it either is giving u bright light or not or even deemed light but feleric..haha..good joke.

I faced this issue when i bought it from Store, the next day i went to store and told about the problem. They said its a hardware problem and they gave me a new neo V!! In the new one, i dont have that problem.
Hi guys,
I'm not usually using my front camera, but today i realized it has a big green-pink pixelated stripe.
What do you think about that? It might be a hardware of software/firmware issue?
What should i do?
Thanks!
I attached some photos taken with the camera and the stripe doesn't appear when it's too dark or bright..

Have you power cycled the phone? You gave us only a little information.
Z.
I forgot to mention that i tried few android versions for my phone (it came with 4.0.4, i flashed 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and then returned to 4.1.1). I'm currently on 4.1.1 i9300xxdlib. The phone was resetted even to factory settings..
did it show up on the other versions? try putting CM on it or something and see if it shows up then, or try a different camera app from the play store
I don't remember having this issue on 4.0.4 version since i didnt use the front camera then.
Yes, the issue persists in other apps too.
I am trying to flash 4.0.4 now and see what happens. Does the root have something to do with this? 3
Hardware problem. You dropped the phone? The camera lens might moved from its original position and it's giving refracted beams in the sensor. You might claim your warranty.
Hello,
it's about 2 months since I've had this problem with my camera. To be honest my phone falls alot but rly didn't ahve any problems with it so far. Until this problem occured. I had omega 44 when this suddenly appeard on my back camera. These vertical lines just appeared and when it's darer it's easier to notice them. My front camera works normally and I don't have any problems with it. I've thought about ordering new camera from the ebay but I just want to be sure that it's rly hardware problem. Now I'm on this new omega 8.1 version and this problem still persists.
Does anyone knows what is the most probable problem here? It would help me a lot in making my decision here.
Thanks

obviously the problem is with your camera hardware. get it replaced from service center.
Ok thanks. I think they'll charge me to much for that simple replacement. I want to change it by myself but I saw there are a lot of cameras on the ebay and I'm not sure which one to order. Don't know if there are different editions of cameras for s3, or some kind of regional key so if someone knows what should I look for I'd be grateful. Thank you

try using camera apps like camera jb+ if the proble stills maybe it s the hardware
I've tried using many other softwares and the problem is still there. I'll be ordering new camera, it's jut that i'm not sure if there is some kind of regional lock or version of camera. Just don't want to give money for a wrong camera
I made a post here, but no one has really given a response as to if the camera is defective:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...mas-lights-t3268758/post64263406#post64263406
I have tried changing settings, reinstalling firmware etc. It just cannot take pictures of any blue Christmas lights. Can anyone please confirm that their camera is able to do this so I can maybe make a warranty exchange? Pretty annoying trying to take holiday pictures!
Thanks.
