Camera problem. help please!

Hello, I am experiencing something word with my camera. I'm not really sure if we consider it a hardware problem or something.As you can see, there are purple lines that appear on my pictures.. Why is this? Second question, can I get my phone replaced because of this problem?
P.s. I used to experience this in my blackberry storm 1 after a few years. Attaching photos. 1 st photo was taken with my Note and the second was with my storm.

Do you notice the same banding effect on your phone if you use Gallery or browse the net? In low light conditions the striped effect has been reported by many other Note users - search for "banding" and you'll see what I mean
I do notice the effect but only when in low light - if the screen is set to higher brightness the banding effect goes away. So maybe it is not camera related but more to do with the screen?

Okay, I'll read up on banding later on. I tried turning up the brightness on full and took a test shot and still, there were those lines. I kind of noticed that this banding happens more for whites than low lighting conditions.
Thanks by the way!

Simple test would also be to transfer the photo to your PC and see if it shows banding there? (I am probably wrong but assuming you used screenshot feature of Note to take screen captures?)
PS - don't just say it - hit the Thanks button

Sorry I'm new here. there you go.
Anyway I'm not yet home so have no access yet to my PC. Got to chat and show what's wrong with a photographer friend. he told me that this is a common problem due to the fluorescent light. True enough,I tried some low light shots under a different light bulb and no banding. I was quite convinced and so I'll continue trying to do tests.

Screen?

People I bought a new note three days back..the phone is absolutely awesome...but I have a very irritating bug on the screen..whenever the screen has to display grey colours it appears very bad and this spoils the beauty of the screen...it happens in videos as well...any help?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

There are some issues with black/grey gradients in certain conditions, the question is if what you have is typical or worse,
I'd suggest searching the forum for "black crust", and checking the thread on Galaxy Note screen issues

There is also a new bug after updating to ICS DDLPY8version.when screen comes to landscape mode the left side where the notification bar remains has a color imprint in dull.so when u turn landscape the notification panel part remains visible in dull color same as screen color.its like a imprint which remains always and visible only on deep insight.

This is How to take better pics with your nexus 4!!!

I notice on the nexus device camera you have to hard press and hold the camera button and wait until the dialer lock into place. its a twisting dialer that goes from left to right from 9pm to 12. There is a green light at 12 o clock. You have to let go of the shutter button when the dialer hit 12 o clock. Simply just slightly tapping the camera shutter button cause the screen to get a lil out of focus but it produces a clear shot also.....try it out.
for better color reproduction in day light use -1 in the iso/ white balance /exposure setting
In low light use these settings. Turn on flash....change the iso/white balance to -2. pics should use way less light and get better pics

Thanks man that was very helpful !

in day light hold down the camera shutter button. The dialer should start at 9 oclock. as you hold down on the shutter button the dialer moves to 12 olock when it reaches 12 oclock the dialer turn green. release the camera shutter button at 12 oclock....
The big circle is the dialer
I noticed that i get a better color reproduction with -1 in the camera ios/white balance setting....
In low light use these settings. Turn on flash....change the iso/white balance to -2. pics should use way less light and get better pics

Dialer is the Focus Circle !
kinda confusing when you refer dialer as focus circle. By holding the shutter button you're forcing focus to stay locked on.. Just like on any regular camera(PNS,DSLR) Phone Shooters come with continuous auto-focusing which is kinda annoying... always preferred single focus over continuous but then again single focus would be terrible with video..
Nice find :good::good::good::good:

I always do this when taking pics. Even on the s3 I would hold the shutter button til focus locked in instead of just tapping it then focus isn't 100%

thanks for sharing with everyone, i figured this out a while ago, and posted in the 'pictures taken from nexus 4 thread'. but it works very well with flash! pictures come out way more natural, and pictures dont come out too bright or bluish tint!

very cool. I had no idea. that stupid moving circle was driving me APE ****. STOP FREAKING GETTING OUT OF FOCUS.
holding the blue button down locks it and takes great in focus shots. who knew?

so you're saying that exposure compensation menu also controls ISO? like 2 in 1? because ISO it's the other thing which weirdly cannot be adjusted manually as well as metering.
I think Galaxy S line (2-3 and 4) have those for manual adjustment. I can live without ISO adjustment no problem.. anything above 400 looks terrible anyway. But Google Or LG had to put Metering mode for a proper exposure...At least N4 got HDR mode as workaround

i don't quite understand with this one. i assume this is non hdr mode since you manually turn on the flash. do i have to change the scene mode or leave it on auto?

Screen tint issue?

Just picked up this phone a few days ago.
Overall love the build. Am coming from s7 edge.
Concerned about the screen though.
The s7 edge seemed yellowish in basic mode but the other modes were not. Adaptive display was very nice and adjustable too.
Note 8 screen temperature is very warm. Whites look yellow brownish. They don't change between the different modes.
Adaptive display is the only fixand even there it requires several adjustments.
For me they best whites are with temp set to warm and then the green dialed down to about 20-25% of max. That gives me best colors.
However feel like I should have better whites on the other screen modes.
I find if I look at the screen about 20*of axis then the screen whitens up.
Do others find the same our is mine defective? Trying to decide if I should keep this or wait for the LG V30 which night be better to manage size wise.

Take it to the store and compare side by side, make sure the settings and brightness are the same and decide from there. Sending mine back.

Have you made sure the Blue Light Fliter is off?

Is Warm supposed to be a slight yellow hue? I thought.
Warm on my Note 8 is pink hue .I have mine set to adaptive, with *#15987# reddish tint set to minus 9 and it looks good. Also, the Basic mode in display does nothing for the color saturation like it did in previous Galaxy devices. Still looks over saturated. I assume this is their new red oled panels LOL
OP , try and post some pics of your issue.

Will submit pics tomorrow.
Blue light not on.
I think my eyes will adapt over time.

Entering the number you mentioned brings up a color balance test. Does that change anything?

Which test is this? I think my phone seems to have the same tinting problem

The color balance test helped mine. Wife's Note 8 was already set at -3 ,mine was zero and changed it to -9 which lessened the pink hue. That with adaptive display and it's settings also reduced pink to an extent where mine looks good to my fussy eyes now.

When you screen shot you'll notice a "Scroll capture" option on the bottom left corner.

Did you guys try *#15987# to reduce reddish? Or what is your current value ?

How does*#15987# work? Seems it is a test. How dots this change any values and for which mode?
Can one did this to reduce green and if so which number combo to bring it up

It's not a test, you press a number and it in turn changes the red tint value on the display. Just the red.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I pressed the number and saw no difference. Does one bed to be in adapt display? If so how is this different than using the slider for the colors?

I also didn't see a difference initially, I think try it adaptive mode then you'll see a difference.

In adaptive mode I see the change but canadoc get same change using the slider. Is there a number to adjust green and blue?

I'm a home theatre enthusiast so I've done a few basic measurements with my calibration equipment. I'm not terribly interested in doing anymore testing than this until we get system wide color management controls/options as there is no point. Any critical grading will be done with other programs and almost always on a computer via programs like BlackMagic Resolve and the like.
***PRE-Post edit, lol***
I decided I'll make a separate thread with everything I was going to post regarding the display modes. I wasn't planing on making a big post but my OCD got the better of me
I figured it would be more useful to others in general as a separate thread, rather than being in a thread about screen tinting.
I'll reply back in here when I finish making it (it'll take a bit).

Button in camera app

I can't figure out what this symbol/icon does in the stock Samsung Camera app. I think it showed up with today's 2nd Beta release. It swirls then turns a yellow greenish color but I can't tell a difference in my pics.

It turns scene optimizer on and off. To me a while to figure it out as well.

If you go to camera settings and Toggle the scene optimiser OFF, that symbol doesn't show up anymore. Simple.

What he said. I tapped that icon several times and all it did was change from white to multicolored. When I turned off scene optimizer in settings, it went away.
When you tap it to turn it white, it turns off the scene optimizer, but leaves the icon so you can turn it back on withoit going into settings.
