i think its time to send a clear loud message about the camera issue with z ultra, and ask sony for a clarification of whether this issue with the camera is a software issue or a hardware issue, can someone please take the lead to roll this petition to the attention of sony
Or you guys could just return it and get the Z1? Why do people care about the camera which aren't even what the phone is about?

I don't know.. Last time i used the camera was in september.. and before that when i used my Note i would maybe take 20 photos a year. People who bought the ZU and thought that the camera would be great, didn't do enough research. BUT still, the camera is fantastically bad, and Sony should correct this so it's possible to use it without being shocked every time we use it. It's currently on the same level as my old Game Boy camera. Fine, it's not but it's close.
And about the "petition". Forget about it. It's the least effective thing in the world. Contact them directly and talk to a human being. It works much better, and you'll know that your message has been received. If possible, try to get transfered to the dev section.
When I bought this phone, I knew I was getting a dismal camera. I don't know anyone that bought the phone thinking this was something that they were going to use a lot. It was the screen size...

I like where your heads at... however Lord is right. Partitions don't do anything.
- What is it now 700,000 about not getting GTA5 on PC? LOL... I'm sure the 500,000,000 dollars they would lose not releasing it for PC would be worth a smile on 700,000 faces.
email/ messages/ written can be look and moved on.
Voice and calling is more personal and will get more attention. I don't mind the camera for quick snaps. My DSLR will always win in a shoot off..
* Random info *
When I first got my device, I called my mobile provider to enable 3G connectivity, and had to quote my IMEI number. The guy at the end of the phone didn't have a clue what device it was. He did a google, and almost sh*t himself. How did you get that? I've never seen it before... I want it!..
Suffice to say I had to do it myself.

Precisely. The camera I knew was average having done my due diligence before purchase. The rest of the phone is by far the best I've ever had for screen size, light weight and battery life among the other features. If you buy phones to take pictures then this isn't meant for you.

sorry mate. I did have a chuckle, but only because I've now been 7 days without my Ultra.
Apparently reports are in about removing the OEM protector, and replacing with your own one improves display and colour quality.
But the pain and time to do it is quite intensive. If mine does this, I think I will remove it.

Pal, we aren't getting any Software improvements. Chromatic aberrations shows clearly the use of a very simple and compact.camera module with reduced optical compounds to fit into less-than-six millimeter space (6.4mm less the fit case support) but we didnt get the xzu expecting stunning camera performance, as long as Sony never promised onit. Right? There is much far other cool stuff on the device..

I totally agree that the camera of the XZU is a waste (especially the low light performance) but whilst I sort of knew this from the review and the fact that it has no flash, my reasons for buying this phone are totally different-it is my 1st true Phablet.
Is a Petition needed to bring this to the attention of Sony, I think so considering how much money we have all paid or are paying through our contract deals via our network providers. of all the things annoying is why not put a bloody flash of some sort into this beast, you idiotic product designers in Sony. At least they should have the guts to learn from budget Chinese brands like Oppo, HDC, Zopo and UMI.
I have heard that a kickstarter project by the name of IBlazr is soon to launch an 4X Led embedded external flash unit for Mobile Phones and I will get this when it is released but why should we rely on external accessories to complete a faulty design.
To help you all make the best of your camera app, I strongly urge everyone to download the leaked Camera app of the Nexus 5/Android Kitkat 4.4, I installed this and I see that it makes a real difference. Hope the mods will customize it for better usability on the XZU as when I use it the controls of the camera appear to be partially hidden behind the Navigation Buttons of the XZU, whilst this is annoying, the app is very useful and can be used as the daily camera app replacement and to those that want to praise all other replacement apps, I tried all and if you want near stock experience, this is currently our best hope.

guys please lets not start creating a false xperia z ultra fan boy base like iPhone fan boys that cheer anything apple does even if its crap.
Anyone who does not agree on a petition or find a better way to solve this, or at least find a way to get us the knowledge if its hardware or software issue, then please get out of this thread. This thread is for creating a petition to voice our voices loud to sony to solve this problem if it is a software issue, if its hardware related then we must learn how to cope with this crap camera

better stick with the stock 4.3 camera, same quality but can do photosphere ( 4.4 crash when combine photosphere)
Its a hardware issue. Period.
3rd party app helps but marginal. If camera is really a big issue, I would suggest getting a Z1 or wait out for XZU2.
The XZU is marketed as having a good camera.
QUOTE
Stunning shots in any light — 8 MP camera with Exmor RS™ for mobile
The 8 megapixel camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras. Exmor RS™ for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, we’ve created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise – even in challenging lighting conditions. You’re now also able to reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces in stunning clarity.

I bought this XZU because I thought that aside from it being big and fast, it has a good "stunning" camera. The image quality is crap!
Sony should resolve the camera issue, otherwise, it is DECEPTIVE advertising.

Have fun with your pointless petition, do you honestly think Sony will do anything when the Z1 is out?
If the camera is that important there is an easy solution.

what is with all these people who seem think its ok the camera is this bad? and giving Sony a free pass...
the device is marketed as having an amazing camera yet its about as bad as phones 3-4 years old.
that is not an excuse.
its not average, its crap.
and it needs to be fixed.

Maybe because those people didn't buy it for the camera because who would? Some people apparently.
Still makes me wonder why people went with Z Ultra if it matters so much?
Yes, the phone is large and nice but come on, use some common sense. If the camera is that important that you need it then the Ultra is clearly not for you? I took some photos, they were watchable.
Have you guys even tried other camera apps? I just tried this and the pictures aren't bad at all :s.

No.
I'm trying to understand but I'm just thinking you're rather pathetic.
I don't even give a crap about the camera, I just think this is interesting.
Soooo, why do you still have your Ultra? Why aren't you complaining about the lack of flash as well? You could always glue one on.
Hi all,
Lately my eyes have been set on the galaxy s6 edge as my next phone, however I am somewhat concerned about all the issues I've been hearing about it. Having a look through the comments and threads, it would seem that there are issues in regards to scratches appearing on screens, dead pixels, the edge not responding correctly, bending issues, etc. Are these issues really that widespread, and would I be better off in just getting a normal S6? Unfortunately, from my experiences, phones are very hard to replace or get fixed in my area, so I really dont want to be stuck with a phone that has issues right out of the box.
I've got the edge and I have zero problems with it.

I've never heard of bending issues on the S6's.
As for my Gold Platinum 64GB S6E, it's perfect. No scratches, no dead pixels, no connection issues (Sprint), no weird battery drains.
Don't be afraid of buying the S6E if that's what you really want. If something is wrong, just exchange it at the store or get your refund.

Well, its nice to hear some stories of where everything is completely fine. Are the defects a widespread problem, or has it just been bloated up to be bigger than what it actually is?
Also, I would love to just be able to exchange it, but from my experience they will just say its your fault and then do nothing about it or pay to get it fixed.
When you go to the store check it our really well in the store and when you get back to your car. Pretty sure you have 14 days. I have 30 days because of my discount on my account. If concerned about it wait a month or two. All new phones when released usually have some quality control and bugs. Also remember that the issues are blown up on here.

Unfortunately we do not have a 14 day return day policy over here (would love to have one though). They usually give it to you in the packaging and once its opened its usually your problem, but I'll try opening it the moment I get it at the store so they know it wasnt my fault - hopefully if it is defected they will exchange it. And yes I did think about waiting a couple of months, but the carrier im on is currently offering an extra 2gb data free per month if you get it soon so I'd rather not wait!
I think I will just get the edge and make sure its not defected before I leave the store!
Dont let 100 people on a forum decide the phone purchase for you. Fantastic phone, any issues will be ironed out soon, IM sure.
If worried, just buy at shop.
So far mine in great condition.

Regarding bending issues- this is why I recommend keeping your Hydraulic Presses and chainsaws in a different pocket from your Phone .

Hi, Let me assure you that if you read any forum on earth regarding any product manufactured you wouldn't make another purchase of ANYTHING, shoes, socks cars, hot water bottles, toasters etc.....
There WILL be lemons in all man made products. It is the nature of a forum where we come to generally moan and groan about what we buy. If you take it seriously or to heart you would never leave your house.
I am a complete certifiable tech junkie. I didn't need to go buy the SS6Edge. I still have a new IPhone 6, Sony Xperia Z2 and the Ultra. Not to mention a few others during the past year like the nexus 5. There have been stories about all of these devices, forums are full of negatives.
I have no doubt there will be S6 Edge lemons, there has to be in a production this size. Point is 99.5% will be fine. A tiny percentage will drive their owners to distraction, for me this came in the guise of an Asus Transformer some years ago. Considering the gear I purchase in a year though I really cant moan and you should buy what you desire with confidence. Buy from a decent retailer with a known reputation who will refund or replace IF a problem is found, now that is a genuine concern more so that what we buy but from where we buy it.
Such gear is not cheap. I am sincerely questioning my own sanity this evening after realising I have paid out 1100€ on a mobile phone, THAT worries me. :silly:
If you are of a nervous disposition keep well away from these forums or consider some facts. There have been sales of the iPhone 6 in the millions world wide and the bendgate silliness has proven to be just that, silly.
Please don't flame me if you are one of the genuine unfotunates to have bought a lemon BUT that is what they are, an exception to the rule.
Kind regards, Ryland

so lets say they sold one million for instance 2% is 20.000 units no way is there 20,000 people in that thread lol
and it seems to be affecting the black version and not the white or gold so that so it does sound plauseable that there 2% of over all sales of the handset not just on the colour could be a bit more than the 2% of the black handset sales could be closer to 10% as it is affecting black version and seems a bigger seller

May I respectfully ask how and where you arrive at the number 2%?
Hey for those who have purchased a faulty mobile its not a joke, not at all BUT seeing as the unit was released in America on the 10th? in some European countries on the 17th I would suggest it would be absolutely impossible to arrive at any accurate figures regarding faulty devices.
There is wide spread shortage in Europe as Samsung Europe just cant get the stock to ship out to the stores.
I would like to know how you researched this figure of 2%? The importer in this country is in such disarray due to demand they don't even know yet accurate figures for sales especially returns.
Before I am accused of being some sort of Samsung fanboy I have only returned to Samsung after my last purchase of the Note 3, now how long ago was that? I went Sony also Apple. All three have threads on this very site full of scare stories and some genuine horrors.
May I suggest you don't use unsubstantiated guess work to support some theory that as yet cannot possibly be quantified or known.
Regards,
Ryland

I was quoting the 2% estimate from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60203785&postcount=12
For the record, I don't believe it's 2%. Scratches is probably 30% and pink screen is probably 50%, but many won't notice it.
We have a poll for scratches, should start one for pink screen as well, and that's an issue with regular S6 too.
Hello everybody,
I purchased RN 7 Pro on very first sale on flipkart , after using it for about 1 month I noticed few dirt particles under camera flash glass.
Initially I ignored it , but it kept growing day by day. While xiaomi bragged how sealed shut this phone is I didn't expect thing like this to happen.
and by the way my phone was very carefully used without a case.
So , Am I alone with this issue or anyone else is facing it too ??
Kindly check yours and let me know.
Thank You

Yeah sure, the Q&A section exists for a reason, but people like you clutter this section..Users looking for Guides are instead met with posts like yours which don't help them in any manner whatsoever.
Seriously Bruh? This issue seems to be quite specific to you, and noone has reported anything of such sort.
Maybe if you knew how to access the forum correctly you would have figured that out.
Hello, All! I take a lot of low-light video of my musician kid performing in small clubs. The problem I'm having is that the brightness is always at max when I start recording. So, I move the slider down and it's great... until I touch the screen again. Then it returns to max brightness, so I have to keep adjusting it throughout my video clip which is visible in the final product. I often need to touch the screen while taping to snap a still photo or zoom in or out. This issue is maddening and is making me consider buying a different phone which is too bad because I still really love my S9+ otherwise.
Is there maybe a setting somewhere I'm not aware of? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, everyone!

this is a recurring issue throughout all of the last 5 or 6 Samsung phones. The only way of getting around it is to use a non-standard app. I dont video live shows nearly as much as you do, in all likelihood, but i was at Armin Van Buuren on 2.1.20 and i had the same issue. Same issue with Slayer a few weeks prior to that, concert prior to that was outdoors and during the late fall with plenty of light, so that wasnt an issue then.
Try out some different camera apps in test conditions so you wont be let down at the next event.
The cameras on the S9 and S9+ are very good, but i will tell you that some friends of mine at the aforementioned Slayer gig had far worse seats than me and had FAR better pictures and videos with his S10. The difference was striking.

No worries. I tried to add an avatar for my profile, but it wouldn't take.
That's it, not much else to add...anyone knows/heard anything on this, an update would be grand. I've not been able to dig up
nor waterboard anyone on this topic! Lol (ty)
p.s. I'm aware that many patrons of our Pixel 6 series are still plagued with ongoing issues, but a friend inside said that's not necessarily it (the cause for delay)?
No idea. Sadly no communication from Google as well apart from "coming soon" since beta 1.
GSI is showing in "DSU Loader" but we are not able to boot into that.
I am pretty disappointed with how the updates are being handled for p6 series.
I am having a Samsung kind of experience, w.r.t. software updates, after buying p6

Me too, and I'm one of the lucky ones that's not having any issues other than G-teams lack of information & timing on their updates!

Lucky you.
Not even rainbow effect on screen (if viewed at an angle) and green tint when viewing the screen in a dark room with dark mode enabled?

Nope, had to ck on your specifics, but negative.
I haven't found ANYTHING, that's odd in this case & I know it?

Impossible.
All pixel 6 have the same screens and all suffer from rainbow effects and green tints on gray backgrounds.

makes sense, & I'm very colorblind so not something that's been catching my attention.
It depends on your ability to spot or ignore these details but it gets on my nerves tbh
This is probably the worst amoled panel I've had in my entire life..

Every OLED panel I've ever had has had green tint in a dark room with dark mode.
People really need to stop going and looking for issues. If you have to tell someone how to look for it, it's not an issue.
What is the purpose of starting this thread when there is already a thread on this subject?
Just curious, because I try to read all threads in the Pixel 6. And it gets annoying with this type of nonsense.
Seaching and reading benefits everyone.
Would you be signing up for android 12L beta? Why?
Given android 12L beta 1 is due in few days would you be giving it a try on your P6? What would be your main reason for this? For me: Dynamic color on boot animation :P May be better dynamic color on UI. Just like to stay on top of updates :D

That's complete bs dude.. Don't try and justify your purchase.. I've NEVER had the green tint on any amoled device. Period. Maybe some light bleed on back lit devices. But nothing like this. I'm sick of everyone's bias at trying to defend this bs. "Well other phones have had this n that problem before too", like how low are you gonna lower the bar for Google?

Can you post a screen shot or a link of the issues that you are having. That way someone can help you sort it out.
And I thought I was Nutz.
There are people in this thread causing trouble and do not even have a pixel 6.

My $1099 12 Pro Max has a green tint if I put in the exact conditions you describe. So does my Pixel 3 XL. The only *OLED device I've ever had that I'm certain didn't have it was my Samsung Captivate.
My point is that I'm sick and tired of seeing people tell people to go look for issues. If they didn't see it before, it wasn't an issue until you made it one.

It doesn't matter if I have one or not, I'm going to call out stupid BS when I see it. Having people check for insignificant issues they didn't even know about just makes people who were previously happy with their purchase unhappy because once you see something, you can never unsee it. People need to stop spoiling other people's happiness. Like this thread wasn't even started about the "defects" of the device, they were brought up to someone who just finished saying they were happy with their device! It's ridiculous.

Absolutely not. Don't act like I'm the exception here. Just go to both the pixel 6 and p6pro forums right here on XDA and you'll see endless threads with the same problems over and over again. How am I supposed to show you a screenshot of my awful signal, color banding, green tint & other defects etc? Don't be ignorant

Insignificant issues? These are MAJOR issues. All our problems are VALID, who the f are you to say otherwise.

I'm sick of people like you who can't be objective and see the issues for what they are and have to push your little self conscious bias on us who ARE having issues. Just because some may not be having issues doesn't mean the rest aren't. And who's to say those that "aren't having issues" really aren't, or maybe they just haven't noticed OR just prefer to ignore it. Of course there's people like you and vandy who completely deny that there are issues. "Uh the green tint is a sweet feature, what you mean"

I'm not denying that there are issues. My problem is people like you who think it's your job to tell someone who's happy with their phone about the issues it likely has. Stop ruining people's enjoyment of the device just because you demand perfection. You came into a thread that wasn't about device issues and told someone who just finished saying they were happy with the device that it's likely defective. Just knock it off. Keep your misery to yourself and threads designated for it. I'm not going to reply to this any further because I don't want to make work for the mods but it's just not cool to ruin other people's experience with their devices.

Ruining people's happiness lol. Grow up dude. If there's an issue with my device I didn't know about, I sure as hell would like to know about it, whether it affects me or not. If the problems don't bother you that's great, kick rocks. But people should and have the right to know that these issues are prevalent and widespread. If they aren't affected or choose not to care, that's great. But at least they have the information. Your argument is weak sauce
