beat? u mean temperature?

if u meant temperature i dont think so. i tried using the camera when it had no noticeable excess heat.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
So is it considered a fault or not?

Mine has this pink spot in the center but only on really low light.

Tomorow is my last day for free replacement. My G4 is perfect and the touchscreen has no issue at all so I don't want to risk to get a replacement G4 that could have a bad touchscreen if all of them (or big majority) have the pink spot on camera.

Anyone got there g4 replaced and the pink spot back?

Anyway it has absolutely nothing to do with heat, it's sony's quality. I can live with it as the situations it will appear will be rare.

Sony Z3 also have this "problem" but in worse. It's sony sensors, so unless some g4 don't have sony sensors then all g4 are having the pink blotch but in less severity than Z3 http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-Z3-users-still-suffering-with-pink-blotch-issue_id63558
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
My first one had a fairly notable pink tinge to the center, mostly on all white/beige backgrounds, and in low lighting.

I replaced it for a different reason, and the new one I feel is slightly better, but still some can be seen.

I do think that most will have a slight tinge.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Thanks for the fast answer, yeah it looks that way.

I had worse ones with my old SE phones, it used to show on white and beige but even in daylight indoor, on g4 it's only in very low light so it doesn't really bother me. Btw I tried Camera zoom FX app and the spot was even less noticeable.

I heard a theory that the polarized lenses on camera phones do that

My repair from lg is coming tomorrow. Supposedly it was fixed. They fixed it in record speed because they fixed it and shipped it the day after they received it from me. In the email they sent me it said that it was a bad connector as the culprit. So I will see tomorrow.

Good to hear, please keep us updated.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
When it does the pink thingy it looks like the center of the camera is brighter than the rest, mostly on grey-brown,beige and white in low light. I tried to call LG customer service but they have a bug in the answering machine lol. Sony never fixed athis thing on any of their phones,I wonder how LG concluded it's a bad connector...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
FWIW, I tested mine last night, shooting a pale-yellow surface (didn't have anything white handy), in low light. One shot was 1/10 sec, ISO 1300, another was 1 sec, ISO 600.

I did not notice any pink tints/areas, either on the screen or viewing later on a PC.

I can try a white surface if that's required to make it appear.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
I passed at LG customer service, the technician told me it's on all G4s but some may show it more than others. We tested mine and 2 others side by side and the results were exactly the same. He advised me to use manual mode in that case to get rid of it with WB.

I was checking some old photos on my pc, my old DHD was doing it even on snow! The center was pink snow lol
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotoky:
Well bad news. My repair still shows the pink center. Don't these idiots do any testing after a repair. So it leads me to believe that that's how the Sony sensor is. This is ridiculous. People who say they don't have it are either lying or not looking close enough. I still see it and it doesn't have to be much of a low light. This is after 4 handsets including one repair. I'm really surprised this isn't catching heat in the internets. I'm seriously reconsidering getting an lg phone as my next handset in the future. The only good things that came out of this is that I bought it on sale at that time and got the free leather, battery and cradle so I guess it's less of a regrettable purchase lol.

Well on the paper that only repair info giving was rear camera function as symptom/cause and replaced board to board connector as repair/replacement.

If you see it in these, please tell me. I do not notice pink areas.

If the test needs to be done differently, then please explain precisely how.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solventh:
that wall's color doesnt look like real white, its close to yellow.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
The ambient light is very important too, I noticed the lower is the power of a bulb (close to yellow light) the more it will show the pink spot, with halogen bright white light it will rarely occur.

Also there are great chances LG is using Sony sensors on most of the units AND another brand for let's say Verizon units, like samsung did with the S6

This thing is on many phones for years, you can't expect a mobile phone to have a perfect camera like a Nikon Coolpix.

I am super happy with the outdoor photos, I will not cry if 1 photo over 1000 will have a slight pink center
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
Yes, that's why I described the surface as being pale-yellow in my previous post, #38 :) And why I said I could take a picture again of something white if required.

My intent was to share the results of my little test, and ask for guidance if I was doing a test that does not apply (wrong color, etc).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solventh:
and i tried to mean "please, shoot it on white wall."

Gotcha :)

This time I shot against a white piece of paper (my walls aren't pure-white). I still don't notice any pink areas.

Both are shot in Auto mode, with the flash off. The first was in dimmer light, the second was brighter, with the light off to the side, in case side lighting might contribute somehow.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
Again, these are pretty decent compared to my 1st phone. On anything remotely like the yellow wall you had posted previously, as well as the one above, it would have had a distinct pink center circle.

Here, look at this one, super obvious:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Mine is from July batch bought end August, so it's not a batch date thingy. Like samsung used 2 different sensors (sony and samsung) most probably LG used 2 different sensors too, but it looks like the vast majority got the sony one which all have this thing. Again it's not a fault, it's an old sensor conception by sony that didn't get a fix (lazy technicians), the sony flagship Z3 also has it.

It's only when you want to see it that it will show because you will want to recreate the conditions for it to appear, just forget about it and enjoy this savory camera, in case you get a photo with this pink then you can fix it in post treatment leveling the WB. But we are talking 1 photo over 100 or even 500

[MENTION=3165753]CROrION[/MENTION] do you have any thoughts to share with us about pink tint ?

For raw there are worarounds which correct for vignetting and colur casts can be removed but people here are mostly shooting jpeg.

Reading around this subject i found this useful link, its a plug for their product but it explains the causes.

http://www.dxo.com/us/more-information-about-color-shading

The angle the camera is pointing can make a difference.

mostly brought on by certain kinds of lights rather than daylight or tungsten.

discharge - street lighting

led - flash

fluorescent - maybe more with some colour temperatures than others (warm vs cool vs in between)

It takes a certain light and camera angle to cause this and the degree can be slight to more pronounced.

If anyone here can repeatedly reproduce this effect maybe can try some experiments. Ensure your lens is clean.

- angle of the camera to the subject.

whether shooting straight at ie camera sensor parallel to subject vs tilting it a little makes the tint go away or no effect.

- manual vs auto

auto has a tendency to use 'night shot' in low light, with manual its not there. whether it makes a difference.

- setting wb to fluorescent in manual.

whether it makes a difference. wb either counters blue or yellow. not magenta. but its possible there may be special processing in the firmware.

removing magenta in photos is a question of adding green in post. easy to do so long as you don't have magenta in the subject to begin with.

Has anyone noticed this with video ?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Whether its a night shot and wondering whether manual removes the problem or not.

there are a number of factors that can produce this. if we can identify them then we can manage it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
Photo is now public. It was auto. I'm sure tweaking manual settings could help, but not every camera has such a pronounced pink hue even on auto.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
ok, this is not a night shot, its a normal shot ie as if you would have taken it in manual with no extra in camera processing.

What kind of lighting is used in this room ? do you know the colour temperature of the lights. Or is it only daylight. A mix ?

It only occurs under certain conditions and if those are met you can reproduce it to varying degrees with any phone camera.

[LG G Watch R] mtantawy:
Hey everyone,

I am looking for a trusted way to buy the watch (LG G Watch R) from either USA or UK, then i'll ship it to myself here at Egypt through a service called shopandship.

Current options:

-Google Store:

it should be selling at $250 which is very nice, very cheap, and of course most trusted source, trouble is, it has been out of stock for more than 2 weeks !! So, any ideas as of when should it be available again? Any guesses? Will it be sold for the same price or go back to $299? or are they going to stop selling completely?

-Amazon:

The official one is sold for $350 which is too much !! but trusted

Another version (international version no warranty) is sold for $270, cheap yes, trusted NO

-Expansys UK:

selling it for $260, cheap yes, trusted may be, i read many negative reviews about expansys unfortunately. (expansys is selling it that low now as it is a today only deal and actually only 26 pieces are in stock, so quick help/advice is much appreciated)

So, any other options? it would be great if i can buy it for no more than $280 and from a trusted source.

Note: i will ship to US or UK address so if you have an option to buy from whether shipping only to US or only to UK, i can handle that, i just need relatively not expensive seller and trusted as i can't ship the watch back if it has issues unfortunately :/
[LG G Watch R] Vostradamus:
Not sure if Amazon Italy can ship to uk, but in case they do you could get it from them: it goes for 227€ at the moment (sold and shipped by Amazon of course), which in US$ should be around 250
[LG G Watch R] mtantawy:

i would like to upgrade my phone to latest lollypop as it is starting to playing up a bit and need a bit of help. been reading on various threads but i'm a bit rusty on how to do it. just done a nandroid and titanium backup of current rom if things go wrong.

at the moment this is what i have

CID H3G___001 (three uk)

- custom rom android revolution hd 22.1

- android 4.4.4

- baseband 1.22.2133xxxxx

- build n. 3.28.401.9

i found this nadroid backup for my phone,

2.22.771.5_ckpv5.zip

would it be alright to just flash this in recovery, then get official fw update OTA and then, when on the latest fw, reflash the latest custom rom?

or should i flash

One_M8_3.28.401.9_odexed

thanks for your help

What is your hboot number?

Does it say anything after OS on the bootloader screen?

You need the stock nandroid that matches your firmware (hboot, etc.). Then after you restore that, install the corresponding stock recovery in order to OTA. After OTA, install TWRP again, and the desired LP custom ROM.

This won't help you. Its the unbranded Euro stock ROM. You need the 771 stock ROM, to match your CID in order to OTA.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Soul Annihilator:
I've just updated my phone to Lollipop a few days ago and I'm enjoying it. I'm really glad they added a screen recorder on the power menu so I don't have to use a 3rd party app like Mobizen that lags for days. It works fine for the most part, until I start recording Summoners War gameplay. I noticed that it the recorder vanishes and no video was recorded, so it seems like it crashes. Any way to prevent this? My device is not rooted yet and I'm not planning on rooting my ZU anytime soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to play some of my online games when I root it (some games detect rooted devices as installed with malicious apps for hacking).
