Hi guys, the other day i was taking some pictures at the night, that day i carry with me, my 2 phones, the samsung galaxy s2 and the s3, so i take some pictures with the s2 and their front camera, the image looks really dark and i adjust de expossure, and that was fine, looks pretty clear, little bit of noise but nothing relevant, and after a while i took some pictures with the s3 front facing camera, and looks dark (like the s2) so i decided to adjust the expossure value, but nothing happens i only note a difference when i turn it down, but when i try to turn the expossure up i cant see any difference.
Today i made some test and with the s2, and you can see clearly the image in the dark, but with the s3 don´t, NOTE: the galaxy s3 camera recently added a low light function "premium suite" and as you may know, its amazing!, but only on the back camera, not the front, and the front camera of the s3 looks more natural, fast and clear than the s2 but in the night, the s2 wins.
and now its what im talking about, some comparison between this two cameras, that photos was taken at the same time.
OK this is a normal shot, with the expossure in the middle

}
then i turned up to the max expossure in both phones
OK at this point all is pretty close, the image in the S3 looks a little bit better, and the photo resolution is much bigger, but when i turn of the light, and only left the t.v. its a super difference.
this is the first low light shot
this is the second one
as you can see, the s2 take much much clear photos in low light conditions, i already set the maximun expossure in both low light pictures, so, probably you can see the S3 image in your device, but in my phone i cant see anything with the brightnes at maximun.
so, im really sad for this, because i use a lot the front camera, for videoconference, photos, etc. and in some places the light is very low, but the galaxy s2 works great for me in all conditions.
maybe you know whats wrong, let me know if this happens to you, or if i did something wrong, maybe i need a hack xD wheatever, please help me guys!

Is there a camera.apk around that can let you adjust the refresh rate of the Vibrant? It annoys me everytime when I'm shooting under low light condition with fluorescent light as there will be lines skipping across the camera picture...

It happened to me too once, I think it depends on the electricity frequency,
that may vary at different countries.
It's because you installed a ffc. Did you read any of the threads pertaining to the hardware mod you did? Wow. it is a very well known issue with the ffc
Sent from my Eugene powered vibrant
I did not install a FFC neither do I own one
If the camera is working correctly, and you suffer from this, one of the reason can be because of old style florescent lighting. It creates a rf that can cause this. Or, the camera mod could be defective. Or, using a ffc ehich uses a different freq format

Ffc banding does not look like that. Its worse
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I believe that banding is caused by inconsistent power the fluorescent fixture.
I work in video and see this stuff frequently when the light isn't getting the correct power from the ballast.
That'd be my guess. Banding especially bad if florescent is on a dimmer.
My "fix" is to change the fixture or use a different light source.
So far it's worked every time.
Just my guess. Willing to admit I may be wrong.
Good luck!
It is because of the electro magnetic waves emitted by some lights and most older CRT TVs you know the big glass heavy ones.
strange because all of my pics are low light leveled because it has no flash but that looks like how the light is emmitting from its source and the camera is just picking it up. have you tried replicating the same issue under different light sources?

You can tweak the "white balance" setting and cure this easily.
Tried out every preset in the white balance setting but none of them seems to solve the problem... anyway it's not my camera's fault, I'm having the same problem with my EOS 500D.
Thread moved to Q&A.
So I am seeing some color issues with my SII
Not sure if it's just the way it is (because I am coming from the LG G2x which had the most amazing display you can ever imagine), or is it just my phone.
The funny thing is that even though I am attaching a screnshot, obviously YOU will not be able to see the issue (since of course, the pic itself is fine, and it is the display that makes it wavey...)
I am not even sure I am explaining myself the right way.
Wavy colorts, uneaven, almost cartoonish-like, smeary.
It is most apparent with darker shades
(U can't see it here)

Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus displays exaggerate colors and shades, and that is it's key feature. Not sure about your phone, but if you think something's wrong with your phone, go check with your service provider.

Thank you!!!
Found some info here, i wonder if mine is one of these....
http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-screen-problems-trouble-in-paradise
I hope more members will have something to say, perhaps they have experienced this as well.
I was also thinking whether this can (hopefully) be a kernel issue or color calibration issue? I know that some kernels has effect on the colors, but I am out of my field here and completely wrong
The weird thing is that light colors are perfect. When GRAY or BLACK, it just looks bad.

I've got something similar to that.
It's not noticeable in a well lit environment but if I'm in a dark room and have a black screen on my sgs2, some blotches seem darker than the rest of the screen.
I wouldn't be too bothered about this if it was just one or two but there's one large one and a bunch of smaller ones scattered around the screen.
Thanks!
I wish I could upload a photo to show it, but (funny enough), my only camera is my phone's camera (a single student - what r u gonna do?!)
This is especially noticeable when I take a picture or when I use the Music app (pictured above), where there is huge smears of color going from the dark to the lighter.
I hate to even imagine it, but I think I will have to depart from my SII if this is something that isn't fixable. If no one else experience this, I will get a new SII
(i don't know anyone that has the SII so I have no one to compare it to)
Managed to take some pics
Hope U can see it:
Look at the bottom discoloration:
All menus with shades of grey and black present this issue (kernel problem maybe?)
NOTICE POWER WIDGET!!!!
I got a replacement phone because the headset speaker died on my original one. I don't remember having this issue on the original phone. Can you guys take a picture of a white wall or ceiling in medium light and see if you have this problem. Otherwise I might have to see about another exchange.
Also, it seems that this has been a problem since the i9100 was introduced but I don't remember it before.

that's a light issue, not a camera issue. turn your flash on. besides, when is there ever a time that I need a picture of the ceiling?
(by the way, I checked this on 3 phones, the ones in my signature, and it does it on all 3 phones. Then I turn on my flash on the gs2 (since the other ones don't have a flash) and it goes away. in order not to get it without your flash, you have to be in more natural sunlight)
You've never taken a picture of something white before?
The ceiling is just an easy example.

I have, but if it's outside I don't get this red spot. And if it's inside, I don't get it either if I use the flash. I don't see that as a bug in the camera. My wife is a photographer. This is coming from her. It's the light.
---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------
I also just took some pictures of things around the house that are on a white background. like pictures on our wall. I took some with flash, and some without. Now it appears that this red spot for me only shows up if the picture is completely white and I don't use the flash. If anything else is in the picture, it's gone - with or without the flash. Seems like a non-issue to me.
Read up on how to do a white balance for your camera.
As you go further out from the optical center of the camera, the angle which the light makes with the normal to the detector increases. This in turn means that, toward the edges, there's more chance that a light ray will travel through more than one of the colour filters, resulting in a color shift at the edges.
Here, it looks as though the camera white-balance has fixed a colour shift around the edges, at the expense of the center shifted to pink.
Phrases to google if you're interested: "pixel crosstalk", "bayer filter", CFA.
All smaller imagers are prone to this; they're simply too short for the optics to be close to telecentric (i.e. all rays hit detector at 90°). In a scene where there's a better range of colour and lighting, you likely wouldn't notice any problem at all. If you do, then cell-phone cameras aren't for you
AoN
Not sure if i'm not searching hard enough for old topics related to camera of sgs2.
i noticed that there are vertical lines/waves or whatever you call it when taking pictures. it appears on certain light conditions and surfaces. light brown/flesh and whites.
is this normal? if not, is it hardware or software issue?

anyone?
cant c the lines but may b lens is dirty or some thing on the inner glass
not me........... try wipe or flashing stock ROM and see again
Ya now I c it atifsh is right.an u can flash the camera firmware.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
i think the lines are caused when you're under florescent/CFL bulb regardless if daylight or warm light.
this does not occur under incandescent bulbs
i have the same issue...
I took the phone apart, cleaned the len and the cover and still get the same result. The lines wont go away.
Someone mentioned you can flash the camera's firmware?
I've tried different firmwares aswell... CM9, MIUI, Hydrog3nics... all of them resulting with the same issue... I should try on a stock rom...
I would apreciate it if someone with a stock rom can take a picture of a white piece of paper with flash off under fluorescent light and please post the result...
Thanks again
The one i posted is already stock rom, stock firmware camera (dxlp7) under fluorescent light (office lighting).
I tried to reproduce it using ordinary fluorescent lamp and dont have this.
i think, might be wrong here, the problem is the interference (electrical or something) that causes this waves. i tried taking picture vertical still under the same lighting and don't have this anymore.
i just want to raise the issue again. i noticed that this is also present in gnote. yeah this is sgs2 section but i havent found any fix yet.
images here are from s2.
what's surprising is that lumia 900 and 800 have this issue. common denominator: amoled.
Have it Note
Sorry, i know im on the wrong forum (or i have the wrong phone)...
I have been searching for a fix on this issue. It is also present on my galaxy Note. Those lines are irritating, most of the time when im indoor and with so many fluorescent lights around the camera lines appear.
Hope samsung get to notice it and give us solutions.
here's another
Hi everyone I have one question. Maybe my phone is bad?
So when I shoot pictures in a room that isn't that bright and the phone turns on night mode and I try to focus on my dog (he is black) the pictures appear blurry and my dog isn't focused but when I use the flash the photo turns out great.
For example when I picture with my old P30 Pro and use night mode everything looks good.
Did someone else had the same issue?
Thanks
Anyone?
I had to login to my, god knows how old, xda account just to report I'm having the same issue, which in my case is not tied directly to night mode but rather to all modes.
I don't know if this is a bug or a fault but my Ultra has a really hard time focusing on anything in dark rooms. It seems the autofocus when moving the phone works fine until I tap to focus on anything, then it just blurs and the focus no longer works until I get more light, restart the camera or switch lenses.
This happens on all camera apps I've tried so far. It only happens in dim environments. My lenses are clean and I dont use any lens covers.

I am having the same issue with my S23 Ultra. It probably started after the recent software update.
It was working good around a week before. Now it's not. I didn't change any settings or put any lens covers.
Yeah same thing here. When there is low light, focus is not working at best. Atleast compared to my old P30 Pro which has much better night mode indoors.
Since it happens to other people I doubt phones are faulty.
Same for me. I think after the last update.

Same problem here: s23 ultra isn't able to focus in extreme low light scenes, and pictures result blurry. But if I cover with a finger the laser sensor, focus works well. Very slow focusing without laser but it works.
This issue must be fixed by Samsung as soon as possible. As to mention, p40 pro was a beast with ultra dark scenes!.
Update: my s23 ultra has just received latest ota upgrade, and I can say that now low light environment focus problem is solved! Great job, Samsung!
