[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akpe:
Some phones up to spring 2014 with OV sensors were also affected with green tint, that list would be godsend if we could find it. I know that green tint can be almost completely fixed with the awb file when S-Off, I'm just playing it safe :D

BTW is there any way to know the type of camera sensor apart from looking inside sys/android_camera etc folder? For example from the serial number/manufacturing date? I've read that the Sharp sensor doesn't have any issues at all but I have know idea if HTC made the switch from OV to sharp or if they are used in the majority or minority of the models.

Seems it's difficult to get perfect HTC ONE, my 3rd phone manufacturing date is just May 2014, and it has green tint, couldn't be fixed with awb file trick.

Anyways, green tint is way far less disturbing than purple.

Good that you are checking before buying. :thumbup:

My first one also had green tint, and I also couldn't fix it with the awb file but it was S-On.

I read that it works on S-Off devices but I sold it before trying the fix with S-Off.

Temperature sensor

Hey guys! Since the pink/purple tint is very close related to the amount of heat, I was wondering if we could trick the temperature sensor of HTC One by modifing it in order that it registers low temperatures. I have put my One in the refrigerator at cca -20 Celcius degreees, it was damn cold after 10 minutes and had no purple/pink tint. After a couple of minutes the tint came back as the phone gained the room's temperature (about +25 Celcius degrees). So, could we trick this? Is there a way, a file?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lennita:
On eBay there's a lot of sensors. Just do a search. But my recommendation is that look a sensor that is different physically to the original to ensure that is different brand and not the same that already has your phone...

Sorry about my English

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osama Zabin:
Even if you succeeded to trick the temperature values, the phone will generate same amount of heat, I mean actual heat or temperature won't be reduced using file!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piorel:
So I understand that it is the actual heat that causes the tint, not the registered heat values?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osama Zabin:
Yes it's the actual heat, this is not calibration problem, it's completely hardware

Guys i just want to ask.. is there someone here who have a camera sensor of ST but don't have purple tint on their camera? And is there here who have a camera sensor of OV but have a purple tint?

I'd like to ask because i don't think that ST or OV matters on having a purple tint on the camera. I have a ST sensor and yet, i don't have any purple tint issue. My phone is a developer edition, owned by more than a year. No purple tint since day 1..

Not necessarily to have purple tint with all ST sensors, some guys were reporting purple tint after long time of purchase,it can develop anytime.

What if the device had the bootloader unlocked from stock (the developer edition)?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:
Dev edition or not, HTC should fix the issue. This is a known hardware defect. S-on, s-off, bootloader locked, or unlocked has no bearing on the problem. Call HTC, get it fixed, don't let them push you around, but be nice and friendly. I had 2 fixed and didn't have an issue with either. Try to return phone to stock if possible. Others have had it repaired with s-off, unlocked boot loader and haven't had an issue, but I wouldn't recommend it.

The only guarantee is to check the camera module.

If the phone had been used for one year with no purple tint,then most probably purple tint won't develop.

What's the device serial number? You can find it under About Phone > Phone identity.

You can know the exact manufacturing date from this serial number and have an idea, I guess phones manufactured in 2014 won't have purple tint

For everyone who is too lazy to read:

Green tint is a software issue.

Pink or purple tint is hardware issue and will not be fixed unless the camera module is physically replaced.

This has been answered many times in this thread already. No matter how many times you ask the same question the answer is not going to change. There is no software that will fix a damaged sensor. Pink/purple tint means you have a bad sensor. The only fix is to replace the sensor. Green tint means you have the ST calibration file and an OV sensor. Can be fixed by replacing the ST file with the OV one.

M8 cameras have been fine. They have the OV sensor.

I have 2 M7 that had the ST module and both had purple tint. Both were replaced by HTC and the replacement units had the OV sensor. By the numbers the OV module that HTC uses for M7 is the same as the M8 camera. The M8 OV calibration file can be used to fix M7 green tint.

Both my M7 replacement units from HTC with the OV sensor have been fine. Both are still in use, cameras are used often, no more issues.

Green tint

I'm about to send my phone tomorrow to HTC's repair service as I contacted with them yesterday mentioning the problem with the green camera tint (they've changed my camera in december because of the well known issue of the purple camera). It's a problem that is really driving me nuts.

I know it's a software issue (I suppose, as many people has mentioned this before), but I really don't have the time/patience to "get my hands dirty" on this issue on my own (getting S-Off, rooting, maybe losing warranty, etc). Has anybody got a positive result leaving this in hands of HTC's repair service? Or will their answer be "We don't see any problem, please pay for the shipping costs."?

I own a M7 with the Vodafone rom, and I don't have any bill with it, so I really hope I'm on time with the warranty, just before the "2 years of manufacturing" date.
