Checked last update which as HTC claims should fix purple tint - the problem is still there and I can't say I see any improvements.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElBeaner:
I don't think this is a hardware issue. It is software based. If I leave my ISO on Auto, I get blue/purple/red BUT if I manually switch my ISO to 100/200/400 that doesn't happen anymore.

That leads me to believe that there is an issue in the camera software that is not adjusting the ISO/white balance properly and therfore causing the tint issue.

Im getting red and blue, blue when there's a little bit of light, and red when it's completely dark. So it's the same problem.

We're still not sure if the modules working fine at the moment will stay that way, plenty of stories of people who's cameras degraded over time...

Anyway, flashed the newest InsertCoin (3.5.1) and the issue is still there. Seems the 'tune down the iso' and adjustments fromt the leaked (AndroidRevolution) rom are the same as this version. I'll try the 'seperate' camera btw as well, I like the ability to choose the ISO directly from the cam.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElBeaner:
hmm, weird today, I was playing around with the ISO/exposure/whitebalance and my phone got pretty warm during this. I checked the temp and it went from 27.2C to 39.6C according to *#*#4636#*#*

That is a pretty big jump for just messing with the camera and not actually taking pictures. Also my batter dropped about 8-10% in a matter of 15 min

For those of you who tried installing InserCoin ROM (3.18 that includes low light camera fix) and seen no improvement for the camera issue, maybe it would be better to upgrade your firmware too to latest hboot that includes in 3.18. Others reported that some people who updated their firmware included in 3.18 and uses a 3.17 base ROM the camera will not work. hboot in 3.18 might contain some of the fixes intended for the camera. haven't tried it yet though.

Also, according to Taiwanese forum, they received two updates. One is a small update afterwards is the 4.3 update. Maybe updating straight to 4.3 (3.18) wont fix the camera. That's what I understand reading in a Google translated Taiwanese forum.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickislauw:
And do they say anything about the purple tint fixed after those 2 updates?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myl2ning:
According to the Taiwanese forum, almost everyone who has the purple tint issue has no improvement after update to 4.3, I'm so disappointed, maybe this issue can't be resolved by software. One is so prefect, but the camera ruined it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
Yeah, I might be getting rid of this phone as well if this isn't fixed properly... Low light possibilities was one of the reasons for buying it. Really liking it otherwise, but this is a bummer. Ah well, perhaps I'll just check for a repair or something (it's not always that bad with me yet, but often bad enough to annoy the crap out of me). And that's what is also giving me (false?) hope... the fact it doesn't kick in right away but after a few secs.

Nope, they gonna wipe it for sure. It's first thing they do, even it is hardware issue.

It's because ZOE is using lower iso levels, purple tint is related to higher iso levels.

Next Update could solve the problem

This is the transcription of a chat with SAT:

Laura Gonzalez: On the one hand, we reported that it will soon release an update to software to resolve the failure of the camera and to improve performance.

Laura Gonzalez: And on the other hand, we recommend you perform a few steps:

Laura Gonzalez: * If the picture is taken in a dark environment, we suggest you set the ISO (the sensor is the ability to capture light) entering the camera icon, menu, ISO and try to take a new picture.

* Close running applications through the Task Manager application.

* Check the temperature of the battery of your phone (the maximum temperature is between 50 and 55 degrees) marking on the terminal like a call: * # * # 4636 # * # *. Then select Battery Information.

* Go to Menu, Settings, Applications, All, Camera, Clear Data.

* Open the Camera icon, Menu, Settings, Reset to default.

Laura Gonzalez: Also, please be informed that you can take your terminal to our repair center for inspection and take the necessary measures regarding the fault of the camera of your handset HTC One

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
It's just the standard support answers... but yeah, you shouldn't even need to be doing all that. Intereseting they mention temperature though.

But unfortunately a big fail from HTC that the reason for dropping on the megapixels (need bigger pixels so we can shoot in low light properly) isn't functioning properly.

I have been following this thread for weeks, just loaded InsertCoin 3.5 with the 3.18 firmware (the fix for the camera) and its the same or worse, see below for samples vs my Lumia 925, same time period, no flash.

HTC ONE

---------- Post added 26th September 2013 at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was 25th September 2013 at 11:46 PM ----------

Update: After I let the phone cool down from the "just installed" Rom and firmware 3.18, the photos got better (see below). I still don't like the fact that my low light photo quality is dependent on phone temperature. Not as much blue noise as before, but its like the blue noise was replaced by just plain old noise in general. Video quality showed a drop in frame rate under low light that I wasn't experiencing before as well.

**When reviewing photos, please note, there is a shaded window directly on the left side causing some interference.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaspaceguy90:
just checked , yes. It also lets you do manual focus with and on screen dial, helps with macro shots with dialing in the focus instead of tapping the screen a million times trying to obtain focus. If I could have the Lumia camera in the HTC one, I would be set for life.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vari9:
Even if i set the iso to 100 manually, it doesnt reduce the tint to that extent the zoe reduces it.

It is a hardware issue, no doubt in it, but i guess software can fix it. We can wait for htc to release a fix, probably when the update hits the states we'll know better if it works or not or we can go to the service center and get the camera replaced which might get the purple tint problem after a few months or stay fine.

I recently was looking to upgrade my phone, which currently is a LG motion (For those of you who care) running metro PCS service.

My question is, does anyone know if MetroPCS service allows for a Google Nexus 4 to run? The phone supposedly (according to threads on the internet) can actually run LTE even though it doesn't claim so. Some say that it's signals and services also can run with metro PCS. I wouldn't mind only having Phone and Text with them, so if the cost of data is necessary that could be arranged.

MetroPCS is CDMA so it won't work with Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Wrong. MetroPCS is now with T-Mobile and they plan to merge the networks together.

@OP: More details here,

http://www.tmonews.com/2013/06/leak...tropcs-bring-your-own-phone-begins-june-12th/

The possibility of it working is there, but it'd be on T-Mobile network and not MetroPCS but they're one entity now... but since they're one entity I'm sure you could use TMo's network as a MetroPCS customer. Just wait for the official word for more details (June 12th... rumored)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
MetroPCS is still CDMA so how am I wrong? They have a boat load of CDMA phones out there in customers hands that would need to be traded in. What they more than likely will do is eventually force those MetroPCS customers onto T-Mobile as MetroPCS has no infrastructure, just customers. And just because MetroPCS will be offering T-Mobile devices doesn't mean they will also offer prepaid bring your own phone plans for T-Mobile service. Their business model is to sell you a phone at full price and then you get a no contract month to month service plan. It would be cheaper to just go to T-Mobile and get a no contract plan than to have to buy a T-Mobile phone at MetroPCS, sign up for a plan, and then switch sims over to the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Come on man you made the guy seem like he gave a bad answer when you typed in Wrong like that. Hey OP MetroPCS is cdma and we all know that and no you can't bring your phone to MetroPCS to get it turned on but hey when they finish the merger with T-Mobile then maybe the Metro stores (new T-Mobile) will be able to handle that for you. But if you are looking for prepay choices look into Walmarts plan, Simple Mobile and T-Mobiles prepaid since they are all along the line of MetroPCS.

Also dont get caught up in the LTE hype for speeds. If you are lucky enough to live in a HSPA+ area there is nothing wrong with 18 - 25 mbps download. Anything over a constant 5mbps is good enough to stream HD in most cases. Also LTE gonna destroy your battery life... Just my opinion guys :D
