I have noticed a line through my SAmoled display in camera use. point camera into dark area then look at screen area level with the bottom of volume rocker. Does anyone else see a line right through screen horizontally? Now i see it in all screens and apps :-(
To show what i mean i must take a photo with another camera.

Sounds like software bug , if It's only in camera mod .
Unfortunately I dont think it is software, its very feint but its there. I see it even in lock screen but it is very hard to see.

Upload a photo with your screen showing the line

Ok I see . Maybe It's some pixels that's got stuck u can try some of pixels repair apps on the marked .
Yes, mine has a similar fault. It's faint so very difficult to get a photo of it.
*#0*# into your keypad and run the RGB tests.
Mine is a row of dead red pixels. I'm waiting on O2 to send out an exchange.
I had the same issue, seems to be an issue with the screen. I swapped mine out at Phones4U.
Hi,
When I am using the flash indoor and it is dark , my pictures have a blue tint. I can see it already when the flash starts, just before taking the picture, that my screen has a blue tint.
I have noticed that , if I don't use the flash indoor and it is dark, I still have a very very little bluish tint but negligible.
When I take a picture indoor , but it is bright, , and the flash is set to on ,my screen doesn't become bluish and I have a "normal" picture"
Any idea what to do?
Daniel
Hi,
could it be that the blue tint comes from the LED being kind of blue? Not to sound sarcastic, but I think this could be the answer to your problem. Because when you look at the LED when switched on, you will realize that it is not pure white, but just a little bit on the blue side, that's at least my impression...
Check the white balance option in the camera settings, it's probably set to daylight or something, change it to auto or flash. Obviously the latter if you are using flash at that moment in time.

No, it is not the white balance option because it is always set to auto.

Does the problem show if you transfer the photo's to your computer?

Thanks for your advice.
I have transfered the pictures to my PC and there is no blue when viewing the pictures on my PC.

I had a thought that if it wasn't the white balance then it might be whatever colour setting you have the phone's screen set to. Try changing the display mode to something else then view the photo's again.

But except the brightness level , there are no other settings you can change
Daniel
Settings -> Display -> Screen Mode
Try changing it from whatever it's currently on to something else, then check the photos again, repeat this with all the screen options. There could be a screen calibration problem with your phone on one of those settings.

Thanks but I have tried this already before and there is no difference between the 4 modes and the blue tint.
I think that my S3 has a little blue tint because I have compared it with a friend and there is a difference when viewing an application with a white background.
Daniel
Sounds like a faulty screen then, take it back and ask for a replacement.
And you are absolutely 100% sure your finger/thumb/whatever is absolutely no where near the flash? As that is by far the best explanation for this and common reason for this. Just check anyone on Facebook and look at their mobile uploads... You'll see lots of photos with blue tints and it's because people take photos with their fingers to close too the flash reflecting light back at the lens.

I am sure my figer is no where near the flash. And like I wrote earlier, on my
PC the pictures don't have a blue tint
yea ive tried all the above suggestions but it doesnt really work
the tint happens when there is another light somewhere in the picture

I find that is the issue for me also, I've noticed it happening when in a room with a TV on for example.
The GS3 has a hard time picking the right WB, it would be nice to have a WB setting for the cool White LED the flash uses.
Maybe a simple piece of scotch tape placed over the flash (with a light yellowish tint) will counteract with the blue tint.
I tried this with some painters maskingtape, the yellow paperbased tape. The pics aren't so blue anymore.
The only problem is finding the right yellow tint.
Maskingtape is a tad too thick and it interferes with the range of the flash.
ahh yes, my friend vs my sgs3, we did a flash light comparison. my i9300 version infact has a slight blue tint to it compared to his neutral tint (att version). I can confirm the blue tint is in fact a real thing

rosco swatchbook on amazon. just ordered the small one; i'll experiment and pick what works best on a neutral white sheet of paper. i'll cut it out and sandwich it between my phone and it's case right over the led.
ridiculous oversight on samsung's part not to white balance the flash's led. pisses me off that i have to resort to this on a flagship phone.

I am on yureka . i can easily confirm pic is bluish because flashlight is bluish. How to solve this. Some other camera app has two type of flash one tourch and other is default flash. Tourch light gives good pictures. How to make a tourch flash by default.
The bluish tint could possibly be how you perceive the image on the screen of the phone.
For example, I just took a photo on my i9300 and can clearly see that it is in the blue spectrum when comparing the photo on the i9300 against real life.
I sent the photo to my HTC M9 and on that screen it looks more like the original real life with no bluish tint.
Therefore I know the camera is good and taking colours correctly but my screen on my i9300 is what seems to be giving it the blue hue.

Just bought my S3 and i can see some dark/grey tiny lines (almost like dirt) on white/grey backgrounds. Is this normal? You dont even have to look that hard to spot it.
In chrome i can see it very good. And in the grey image before play store opens fully.
Anyone who can please tell me what this is?

Any pics? I doubt if a screenshot will show these lines.
Hmm... Dont have any pics no. They will not show up on screenshot.
You can compare the marks with some kind of bad printer ink marks on a white paper (tiny tiny and very faint)...
I think i have the same i ssue, but is only visible on greys tones. Not in whites.

Yeah it's worst in grey tones... and in whites when in low background light. When backlight is in full the lines almost disapears in white tones.
Could this be a pentile issue?
Well if I am thinking about same thing they look likr "uneven" color (darker and lighter lines) had them on S1 but never noticed em om S3 yet

There are present on all SuperAmoled screens.more or less. It's not a faulty unit.

I don't have it. Not one bit. And I'm a nitpicker about screens. I think pentile looks bad in the first place, so imperfections are not tolerable.
The problem is mentioned in the title. And when taking a photo with my Z2, the photo looks a little bit pink. But after uploading it on fb or the laptop, the photo looks fine. So I guess the screen is the problem. The screen looks pink especially when taking picture with the dark and white background. Anyone get the same issue (screen) like me? Sorry for my broken english. Thanks.

If your pictures look fine on other devices then problem is, of course, in your device.
Cases and screen protectors could cause problems and reflections but that's not it
(it would be visible on all devices)
You can try to calibrate white balance, maybe that helps a bit.

Sony has introduced Live Color LED technology on the Z2. This uses green and red phosphor with blue LEDs to create more uniform and brighter color reproduction. Hence the backlight seem to be pink to blue when viewed from an angle.
Its a normal behaviour :fingers-crossed:
I have used the phone for a while now and realised there was a black spot on the photos and videos. But if I take a "live focus" photo there isnt a black spot. Also when I zoom in the black spot goes away. Is that damage to the lense or the camera unit?
The first pic is with the live focus mode, 2nd one is the normal and in the 3rd pic i zoomed on the black spot.
