Every time I take a picture that includes white, the white looks like it is glowing.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Check your exposure settings, you might be set too high. You can long press on the shortcuts at the top of the screen (assuming you're on stock) and add exposure to the shortcuts if you want too, so you can change them easily. I assume you're not using a flash, right? That could be the culprit too if the subject is lit well enough.
Could be your case also. IF you have one of those clear cases they tend to cause the camera to do that when the flash goes off.....not with all but some...just an idea
Turn the exposure down.
Mine looks exactly like this if I haven't cleaned the lens in a while. All the saltwater in the atmosphere here depositing junk on the lens.
First try different camera apps..If you see the exact light spots in different camera pictures..I would pull back case off there's 9 little screws..and use a wedge tool atounf the chrome casing and the glass..pulls off easy..abd clean the back of the lens..very easy to do..sometimes dust gets in there from the speaker and blows around...

This just started recently. Anyone else experience this or know what it is? Pics without flash are fine.
I've searched and can't find any info on this.
PS...the circles are in every pic with a flash. They aren't a reflection off of other lighting around the area. I can take a pic with no lights on and these circles/rings are still there.
Thanks!
Can you see any physical damage on your lens?
Was gonna say dust but that's too big for a dust particle....
It might be them energy orbs when there's a ghost nearby like you see on all those ghost documentaries. And I may be right, on the right of the picture there is a figure in one of the circles!
But anyway, have you tried taking out the back door battery cover and take a picture then to see if the circles remain
take a picture with the flash on AND the lights on and see if it still happens. If it does then there is probably something wrong with your camera/camera flash (ex. flash leaking into camera lens somehow). Also try taking a 3d picture with flash.
Hope this helps.
Yep, happens in daylight as well. no apparent physical damage to lense or cover. guess my camera is borked.
Hello,
i am going to buy SXS just because of camera. And i know it is ridiculus, but i got an idea if white back cover of phone cant make photo too bright. Because the sun´s rays are all reflected from white back cover and it can lower the quality of photo by adding a too much light there. However black back cover absorb the sun´s rays, which are not subsequently reflected from cover.
I know that the rays are not reflected from cover straight into lens (it is not possible), but even though i rather ask you people what do you think about that. Dont treat me like a fool, i am just a person who is deciding whether to buy white or black SXS.
All in all, it is crazy theory perhaps. If it was as i say, mobile companies wouldnt make white mobiles. But can you tell me your opinion? I will appreciate it. Thanks.
It's a Joke isnt it??????
No need to worry. There is no way any reflected light can get in the lens. From the inside everything is shielded properly. The covers are quite solid, I doubt light would be able to penetrate it.
So no, the photo quality on the white and black one isn't different. It'll be exactly the same. Which means you just take whichever you consider prettiest
They're not talking about reflect sun light into lenses.
The effect here is with exposure and how black and white color reacts under sunny or artificial light.

Here are some photos of Nexus 10 with backcover removed, you can see the screen is fused inside a frame along with digitiser and gorilla glass, the screws you see is for holding the battery and have no effect on the extent of light bleed.
awesome pictures!
Hm.. Have you tried to turn on the tablet with open cover just to see of the light bleed is still there ?
So I wonder...does it just all snap together during the manufacturing process? If the only screws are for the battery then what is holding the screen assembly to the frame? I hope its not the frame itself causing all the problems...that could take Samsung while to fix if at all :/

i guess they are glued together
great photos
have you tried to press at some points to see if the lightbleed changes?
after some speculation i think the backlight on the N10s is set to high
i know that my old Samsung TV looked terrible when using max backlight.
as i dont have any N10 yet (picking it up on friday) im not sure if the brightness slider changes the backlight or the brightness(black level)?
my teory is that the backlight is set at max all the time and you only change the brightness.
thats plain WRONG!
thats why colors looks washed out when increasing the brightness
what you want is also a slider for the backlight
the brightness(black level) should ALLWAYS be the same
if you want a brighter display you should only change the backlight as the backlight doesnt affect colors/black level or gamma.
backlight only increase the white level.
you dont want to change your gamma right?
so hackers and kernel experts
find a way to change the backlight and most of the problems should be gone
i think
also you need to replace or add a slider with backlight setting instead of the brightness slider

I suspect a thin strip of double sided foam tape. Glue aren't typically used on screens as they create fumes which can haze the screen. Atleast not when we install touchscreens for ATM machines. Double sided tapes are easier to apply also. Same process as screen protectors where you have 3 layers with the center being the actual film. In this case center is the double sided tape. Peel one side, put it on the screen then peel off the other side to expose the other sticky side then lay the screen down on the glass. When its not on perfectly is when I suspect light bleed happens.
The huge problem is trying to remove it once its on. You can use heat to try to separate them. With ATM screens they're thicker so somewhat easier to pull them apart as you heat them but with newer phones or tablets they're so thin that if you do this they'll easily crack.
IMO if the light bleed is bugging you just exchange it rather than risk cracking the screen. Then you'll end up completely voiding your warranty exchange

Here's a complete tear down. There's no mention of any sketchiness in the way it's put together or components used.
Today we received and promptly disassembled the Google Nexus 10. In usual fashion we’ll release the take apart video next week, but wanted to go ahead and post the preliminary take apart steps and photos. The model we’ve taken apart is the 16GB Wi-FI model. Model # GT-P8110.
One thing that struck us about this disassembly was the complete ease of taking this tablet apart. Whereas Apple seems to be making it more and more difficult to repair devices by combining parts and using as much glue as possible, Google seems to be taking the complete opposite approach. The end result is a device that is extremely repairable. Go Google!
Another interesting note is how many of the components in the device are manufactured by Samsung. It appears that the battery, processor, and flash memory are all made by Samsung. Is this Google’s way of capitalizing on the drift between Apple and Samsung?
That’s it. The Nexus 10 display and digitizer are fused together, so that is where the take apart ends.

that cable that says "GT-P8110" is very interesting. Might help with Samsung support reps in trying to identify what the device is

Edit: Hmm, just looked at my N10 box and it has the number as well; not sure how I missed that before.

its usually the back light led whose brightness is changed thats y u save battery life when u reduce brightness, what ur talking about is the contrast and thats fixed on the tablet, brightness being led light intensity and contrast being each pixel allowing amount of light through it
ok time to get this tablet perfect
i have some slight lightbleed at the bottom right corner as many has.
if i press at the back of the screen at the right corner i can clearly see that the lightbleed gets worse.
so the conclusion is that is has something to do with uneven pressure at the screen when you can affect it with pressure from the back.
i report back how it went and if i found some solution
A little bit off topic here, in regards to thermal throttling, do you think it would be possible to fit a small blower some where up top where the cpu/gpu is located?
Something like this (16mmx16mmx4.5mm):
http://www.digikey.com/scripts/dkse...ewproducts=0&ptm=0&fid=0&quantity=0&PV46=5197
It would need to be hooked up to 5V, some where like the USB or HDMI port connections on the inside or on the board.
It looks like there is a small hole underneath the camera in the lid that could act as an exhaust, a very restricted one, and the usb/hdmi/3.5mm ports may help intake and exhaust too.
Everyone knows the 'pink spot' of android cameras ( seems like android's patent ).
But annoying thing is the pink/purple 'dust'/'dirt'/'ghosts'/... shapes that showing clearly at white/bright background with and without flash. mostly at the top or around the picture.
Here is a good sample (found via google) : http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonblack901/5969646528/
at the top middle of the photo you can notice a pink dirt, also at some other places of the photo, custom pink shapes.
You can see it sometimes at sky's photos if you look closer.
I found its happen at every smartphone (include iphone), could happen also when you take a picture of object with dark background with flash (the area of background have these pink shapes).
At some devices that I've checked seems like there are square shapes in different sizes, at some its looks like a random shapes...
Why is it happens? because the camera module? the lens glass? or its just a problem with firmware (even though its happens with every firmware) or a software problem?
Seems pretty weird...
You can see that effect on all kinds of cameras.. just google, this effect happens to stand alone cams too,

There is any reason to this effect? just curios why is it happens...
At each camera it looks different.
BTW, to experience - should you put a piece of screen protector on the lens glass ?
Will it decrease the quality of the photo?
Hey guys, I've never posted here, I mostly just lurk and try to learn things.
My question is a bit difficult to explain but I'll try my best. Do me a favor and take a photo while completely covering the camera lens, then view the photo in the gallery. Make sure youre in a dark room and viewing the photo in full screen, wait a second for the back and task manager buttons to turn off as well.
Is your picture completely black or are the outside edges and corners fuzzy and white almost?
My previous phones are Galaxy S1, 2, 3 and 4 along with the Note 3 (which I miss :/ ) never had a problem like this, I do believe some GS2s had a similar problem with the screen being spotty in black images.
thanks.

Hello there, I did a test for you on mine, when i was in my room with my lights on but completely covered the lens and mine came out fuzzy. It seems that the s5 camera is very powerful picking up the slightest bit of light !
Then I turned off the lights in my room and did the same test, this time it was pitch black.
Did you try turning all your lights off in your room?
Thanks for your input, my initial test was in a room with the lights off. Looks so bad :/

I noticed that with my camera too. The exact same thing happens to me too when I cover the camera, in both lighted and unlighted rooms. But I'm pretty sure it's normal. When your ISO is on auto, you'll notice that the camera turns up the ISO past what you can manually set it at (800). So since they're bumping up the ISO so high (probably ~1600 in dark areas), there's going to be considerable amounts of noise, even with very low light.
You can see for yourself that if you compare auto ISO and ISO 800 in a dark room, the latter will be much more pitch black like you expect it to be.
