The flare appears while taking photos of bright objects in the dark, like candles. It can ruin a photo. I've never seen a flare like this in any smartphone camera. Does anyone have the same problem?
An example:

The candle in the upper left corner should not be exhibiting this purple flare. Really annoying.

J.J. Abrams secretly helped design the LG V30 camera.

Well, that's charming. Apple simply told it's users to point the camera at a different angle.
Still, it was in 2012. I've done a brief comparison with my girlfriend's Galaxy Note 4 and seen no flare there.
I would greatly appreciate any LG V30 user's opinion on this topic. I would like to know if it's the same in every V30, or is my unit especially faulty.
I think i found the answer.
The camera seems to be very susceptible to IR light. LG is using an IR lamp to assist autofocus, so naturally the camera has to detect it easily.
It just so happens, that a candle flame is quite hot. Because of that, it emits extensive amounts of IR light. I was able to get the same effect during the day, but it is best seen using an IR remote.
Well, nothig can be done with that as it seems. Every other phone I've used wasn't that susceptible to IR light. It certainly is a novelty to me.

Just noticed that the Galaxy S is one phone that found a hack for a front facing camera. Of course it's a different device and everything, but I was wondering if there have been any tech-savvy members here to have looked into the possibility of a front facing camera for the HD2.

The HD2 doesn't have a front facing camera. How can software change that?
what are those two little circle lenses at the top of the phone... on the left of the ear / listening grid?
proximity sensor and light sensor
ah ok awesome!

hardware hacks Means modding equipment physically NOT via software.
With the huge screen and as thin as the HD2 is, I doubt you could find room for a front cam. From a software perspective, it wouldn't be a huge leap. But hardware-wise, it's like trying to jump the grand canyon on a ten speed

Bought a RAZR off craigslist today for repair. Its really weird. Its like TV fuzz on the display, but its green specs with blue and red in it too. Still pets on just fine, and everything works behind the scenes, just no picture. It also gets brighter like its warming up our something.
Any suggestions?
I already opened it and cleaned the terminals with alcohol, then re-seated the terminals, no difference. Also, no signs of water damage. The internal stickers were not activated, and no rust anywhere, not even in the USB port.
Buying a new screen to see if its the problem. Still up for suggestions though...

I have no idea but mine is similar to this when say a game is loading and the backlight is dark green but I see black splotches in it and I don't know why?
i have little to base this on, but just guessing: my guess is that it is the video "card" (chip) hardware, and that the display itself is fine, requiring a new "motherboard" or whatever it is called inside the RAZR.
Hi guys,
I've seen a serious bug with my White AT&T 920, and I'm about to send it back as defective, but I wanted to see if anybody else was seeing this error as well.
Basically, when I'm holding down the camera-shutter button halfway to allow for focus, the Optical Image Stabilization kicks in, and the image on the screen wobbles left and right. When I press the shutter all the way, the image is far from stabilized. Most of the time, the image is caught in motion-blur. Occasionally, the image is relatively sharp, but that's pretty rare.

And, yes - I was holding the camera as still as I could, elbows on the table, and squeezed the shutter slowly. Images like the one above are way more common than really sharp images. I can't keep this thing if this is what I should expect. So, defective phone?
Defective. I haven't gotten a picture even close to that, ever.

Yeah I would be using the warranty and getting that fixed or taking it back for a refund/replacement. Never had a problem like that on my phone.
Wow! Something is definetly wrong friend.
Sent from my SGH-I747M
LOL! That thing is surely defected!
Replacement works great
I got the replacement from Amazonwireless today. First thing I did after powering it up was snap a picture. Crisp and clear! Thanks for the feedback, guys! Glad it was just a bad phone.:highfive:
Mine did it once after my factory reset. But the picture is not as bad as this one. Soft reset and back to normal. But the picture is not as clear and sharp as shown on those websites. Trying to replace now. Unfortunately, mine is cyan and is really hard to get a replacement.
Will a willing G5 owner use AIDA64 and under devices identify what camera sensor LG employed in the G5? I want to buy this phone but want to know the camera is at least a small upgrade over the G4 like the S7 is over the S6

Didn't have the type of sensor listed and yes, the app is set to scan sensor info

If the G5 sensor is an upgrade over the G4 like "the S7 is over the S6" then I will not consider the G5. From everything I can see of the S7 it is most definitely a downgrade next to the S6.
Interested in this topic though
I think it's a better device than the G4. I never really loved the G4 but love this G5
Phonearena has both as 16 megapixels, Aperture size F1.8, Camera sensor size 1/2.6", Pixel size 1.12 μm, laser auto focus.
I played with the GS7 and Nexus 6p, MUCH better for dark scenes and the only time 16MP looks better is bright light. And only at full resolution zoomed in, if you upload it to FB or anywhere for that matter you will loose any advantage the 16MP camera has other then using digital zoom.
Hello, I just got my S9+ (less than a week ago) and I discovered after 4 days of use, a very strange mark on the screen that has no depth.

It's very noticeable when I try to clean the phone with a bit of water. The droplets pattern changes:
I haven't exposed the phone to any miss-use and I'm baffled by this, is hard to see when the screen is on but it's forever in my mind now.
Could this be the oleophobic coating or am I looking at something else?
Do you see the line when the display is turned on? Try to dial *#0*# and test the display. It seems like the oleophobic coating, because of the water, but I never seen something like that before.

It's very hard to notice when the screen is on in most conditions. I'm returning this phone and hopefully it will pass Amazon quality checks, wish me luck.
In all 10 years of having smartphones, I never had a phone with this kind of flaw.
Hello I am having the same reaction on my phone. Did you find out what it was?
Same issue here
Only visible with screen off in direct sunlight or water is on the phone
I returned the device with an attached letter to it where it stated what was the problem.
I got the return, no questions asked. I would recommend reaching Samsung or your retailer to get this fixed or another device. If asked, just explain that the scratch has no depth, so it couldn't have been your keys or something in your pocket, also stress your phone is new.
Similar issues were reported for the Galaxy note 8 and I found a YouTube video with an S9 and a similar problem.
If you don't return the device, I would expect the problem to get worse.
