[Q] Purple hue in center of photos? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ran a search on the forum just to make sure this hasn't been posted before, but I may have missed something... Excuse me if I did
When I'm in the camera app taking pictures/video, and am shooting some kind of dark fabric, there is a noticeable purple hue in the center of the display. Other shots (landscape, hardware shots) don't have the problem.
Below is a GIF image of my black trackpants and the burst image captured with my One.

}
Notice how the purple hue is constantly moving, disappearing and reappearing?
The linked image isn't the best of quality, and the in-person shots have a more noticeable discoloration, but should this be anything I should worry about?
My Moto Atrix 4G had a very similar issue, but the problem later bled into everyday shots where everything had a blue discoloration in the dead center.
Anyone else have this "problem?" It's not bothering me too much, just don't want it to come back and haunt me in a few months.
Secondly, does anyone notice that the brightness changes when you use the camera app? If you start out with minimum brightness and use switch to the camera app, your brightness increases temporarily (assuming this is by design and not some kind of odd bug on my unit).

Photos are partly blured

Sometimes i see that taken photos are partly blurred, even in good light condition.
I could understand this in lowlight, and if whole picture were blurred, but this taken in daylight and only in some parts. Example:

you can see a distant building is very sharp, and nearby road and fence is blurred
Guess what. It's called focus.
You can try and change the metering mode in TD2 to "average" instead of "center area".
The cursor in the middle of the screen tells what it is going to be focused.
I'm sorry if I'm being hard on you, but this is dead easy to be aware of. Basic stuff. Even our eyes focus.
Well man, certainly I'm aware what is focusing. But its really strange to hear such things from such "clever" boy. We are not discussing here mark ii with 85mm on 1.2 aperture... Its just a phone, everything further then 5 meters is in focus... Its more like to be slow processor and cmos sensor...
Like you mentioned, it's just a phone's camera with poor cmos sensor and processor.
Don't tell me you reached that conclusion only after my reply?
And again, partly blurred photo...

There are two thereads for this already, one here in Q&A, another one in the general section (low light camera issues).
Summary of both: its a heat related hardware issue and the only known solutions is get your camera (and the shielding around) replaced. Mine had the same stripes, sending to a repair center solved the problem.

[Q] Display issue

Just got this phone today and notice an area where there is a reddish tint. It is a 2 inch horizontal band in the center of the display most noticeable on white backgrounds. Is this something that might go away after a break in period? Has anyone seen this before?
I am having a similar issue to the one you describe. Mine has a bit more of a pinkish hue, and it is at the bottom of 1-2 inches of the screen. Shows up more on white backgrounds. Trying to decide if I should get a replacement or not. It's very subtle, but I can definitely see it.
From another thread:
Coronado is dead said:
Well, now I don't know if I should get this replaced. Took a picture with it on an all white screen...

EDIT: I will say, while I notice it on white webpages or in gmail when looking from top to bottom, that pic looks WAY worse than in person, lol.

I'm thinking about returning as well, but afraid that I'll get one that is worse.

Screen defect - Vertical banding

Hello everyone,
So, I recently bought a Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro, and I noticed some weird darker vertical lines all along the screen. These are not always noticeable, but when the background is greyish, they particularly are.

}
Unfortunately, I can't resend it to the seller (in China) because of the lovely customs in my country who won't hesitate to tax the replacement phone, even though I've already had to pay 101,45€ of fees the first time.
I did my researches and I found out an app named "Screen Equalizer", that allows to permanently display an overlaid image with a low opacity, in order to correct the yellow/blue/etc. tint that some users are experiencing with their screens.
So my question is :
-> Is there any application that would do the same job as "Screen Equalizer", but with a "customized" image ?
My idea is to take a picture of my screen, and reproduce the lines in Photoshop, put them in white and upload the image in the app with a low opacity to lighten these dark lines.
Of course, it is necessary that these added lines soften depending on the color of the screen, in real time.
Does such an app exist ? If not, is it realizable ?
Thanks !
You can use the app "designoverlay" and disable the grid. But I don't know, if you can hide the lines with that.

Question Shadows on screen... bug ?

Hi there !
I have the Pixel 7 and i'm very happy with it.
I've noticed something weird yesterday :
When my phone is beneath full sun and when looking at a white front page, i see 3 sorts of shadows. 2 on the top right and 1 little in the middle. I see them only in full sun condition.
I wonder if it's a screen bug or if it's a material shadow under the screen (camera material reflexion ?...)
Thanx for your help.
this pic is not mine, but it's just to show you the shadows location

It's the proximity sensor under the camera, and other sensors. We all have them. It's normal.
Thanx for your help ! Glad to read that. But its true that once i see those shadows, i always see them !
This is how it looks on my Pixel 7 which was delivered today (i had to exchange it due to some defect and didn't recognized it before with the previous device).
I was really shocked as i have seen that. That's where i started searching the web for this.
But is that really state of the art quality of such display panels? I just wonder if really each Pixel 7 has this.
It seems the display panel of the Pixel 6 at least does not have this big shadow which looks like a big battery symbol on the top right corner. This big shadow annoys me the most.
