Lumia 822 camera has greenish tint indoors

My Nokia Lumia 822 camera has a greenish tint when used indoors. Outside seems OK. I heard a fix was coming but every time I click on Phone Update, it says my phone is up to date. Any info on when I can expect a fix?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have a 822 the next day after purchasing it went solid green. I did the power cycle and it went away. However, every single picture I take has a green line on the boarder on one side and green tint. This has to be know to Nokia and a fix needs to be issued soon. Otherwise sales representatives aren't going to push their products. I know I'm the one doing the demo for my company to determine whichever win8 mobile handset we go with. So I will have to point this out in my review if not corrected. So Nokia lets fix this asap please. This is the one I want to recommend, not the competition.
This is last week of march. February has come and gone. Where is the fix? Too many people noting these green problems on new equipment to be offered refurbs spells class action suit brewing down the road. If it is a code fix do it. If hardware do cross replacements with "NEW" unopened units. Leaving and ignoring leads to disaster in cost and reputations. Spend now,fix. Side step now,disaster later.

Mid-2012 MBP retina keeps freezing 2x in a row, sometimes has greenish tint

I'm at my wits' end. I've taken it to the Apple store four times, had the hard drive wiped twice, and each time the problem comes back after about a day.
I've been unable to determine a cause. It worked fine in safe mode, but I've had it freeze while using lightroom, ableton, FCP, and chrome. Usually, the laptop will freeze and Ill have to hard reboot it, and it will then freeze within a few minutes, necessitating yet another reboot. Sometimes the screen tint turns green-ish.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

that is good to know, because I honestly get the impression that I'm being given the run around so as to ensure the warranty expires before I can use it.
how do I get Apple to acknowledge that it's a hardware issue? Is there something specific in the console messages that suggest this? I really don't want to have to go back to the apple store yet again and have some 'genius' tell me to bark right back up the wrong tree once again.
thanks so much for your help, by the way

Lumia 822 lacks good ereader and camera sucks

Lumia 822 lacks decent app to enjoy books and magazines and camera sucks
I bought the Nokia Lumia 822 because it allowed use of a micro SD card which would expand available memory and because it came with Office. I have been happy with the SD card capability (although today I had to reseat the SD card because the card doesn’t snap into place, it just kind of sits there – I ended up losing all my photos from March 2013, but, hey, at least the majority were there). Office is functional though I wouldn’t be able to do major spreadsheets in it. I also had to send back my original phone for a refurbished phone when it crashed about a week after that major update. I wasn't happy about receiving a refurbished phone, considering what a personal item a cellphone is.
While I knew apps were a limitation being on the bleeding edge of technology, I assumed they would emerge soon enough and was willing to wait. I bought the phone in November 2012 and as of today (April 2013), there still is no decent app with which to buy books and magazines. This is a major bummer.
As an amateur photographer, I find the Nokia Lumia 822 Windows Phone camera incredibly disappointing on its own and particularly with respect to the iPhone 5. This is in stark contrast to Nokia’s assertion that they will set themselves apart with their cameras and comes after a February (or March?) 2013 update that was supposed to fix the camera’s color issues. It previously had a green tint, which improved with the update but the color is still not great. Just to note up front, I am not an Apple fanboi by any stretch, preferring the Microsoft Surface as opposed to the iPad3 (both of which I have owned).
The Lumia 822 camera takes forever to focus and shoot once you’ve hit the screen. If you instead choose to shoot using the camera button, you have to press so hard that the phone inevitably shakes. The pictures come out blurry with washed out colors no matter what you do. Taking the same shot with the iPhone 5, it shoots quickly and comes out crystal clear, with vibrant colors. I have noticed that the largest photo size on the Lumia 822 is like 2 MB, while it is over 4 MB on the iPhone 5.
Today, when I tried to send some photos from my brother’s iPhone 5 to the Lumia 822, I noticed that Apple provided 3 choices – the original photo size, which was like 4.5 MB, a medium photo size and a small photo size. Such choices are not available on the Lumia 822. In any case, I chose the original size of 4.5 MB and when I received the photo on the Lumia 822 chose Save to Phone. Yet when I forwarded my mom that same photo from my Lumia 822, it sent as 850 KB. I don’t know how to see the size of the photo that was saved on my phone but I’m guessing it wasn’t 4.5 MB for whatever reason.
I had been psyched about the upcoming Lumia that was a 41 megapixel camera but now I even have doubts about that.
I actually bought Nokia stock, some at $3.56 and some at $4.58, but I’m starting to regret it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think you should have picked 920 instead of 822, I believe their new release 720 has better camera than 820/822.
I bought 920 for my brother as present, he is a good man and always wanted to upgrade his old phone to smartphone era.. Anyways, 920 felt superb, camera seemed quality wise similar to my Iphone 4s, which was excellent camera for smartphone, but it also added OIS and some nifty photolenses, like that animation edit thing and excellent other features that made my own Iphone pale in comparison.
As what comes to me, I bought Nokia 808 over 920 which I now regret. Quality wise 808 is WAYYY superior even to my Sony Alpha 300 SLR with basic lens. I still cannot believe how sharp and realistic images I get. Add excellent video recording and that lossless zoom, I absolutely love it. But as compared into Iphone as a phone and portable media device Nokia Pureview 808 is so bad! Browsing internet is worse, watching videos is worse, settings are mess up.. Its usable but I would give it an poor grade as a SMARTPHONE, as this tiny camera; Superior.
920 would have given me Excellent camera with all the other great sh*t Nokia offers nowadays.
I am waiting 920 + 808 combo Lumia with 41Mpx lossless zoom and OIS, with water proof and solar energy!

Camera on Lumia 822 Developer Preview Update 8.1 GDR1 not working, needs Cyan.

About 5 months ago when the 8.1 Developer Preview was released I went ahead and got it on my Lumia 822. Everything was going great. It worked flawlessly until Updated 8.1 to the 3rd small update that was released for it. Soon after my camera stopped working and soon after that my GPS started displaying very inaccurate results. When I use any app that uses the camera it instantly crashes and I know it is a firmware issue because neither camera works. Both cameras cause the app to crash if it tries to use the camera. I updated to 8.1 GDR1 thinking it would fix it and it didn't. This happened to me 4 months ago. The community says Cyan will fix it. I have had to deal with this for 4 months. 2 months waiting for Microsoft to give it to phone companies and now 2 months waiting for Verizon to push it out. Could someone at Verizon please give an ETA? I wasn't able to take pictures all summer. Not of my summer vacation or anything. I'm begging you Verizon to push the update. At least just for Lumia 822. I'm not the only one with this issue. If you go to the WPCentral forums or just Google it, many more people are having the same issue. I know I was risking it by using a "beta OS" but come on. Updates shouldn't take this long to get pushed.

No one told you to download or install the Microsoft Developer Preview.
That is not a Verizon wireless issue. It is a Microsoft issue.
maybe you can remove it and roll back until the real updated OS is shown to be stable and available.
And this is for both posters.
I can just imagine all the posts complaining how the updates caused this not to function or that no longer works when Verizon has nothing to do with those issues either.
After it is released by the cell carriers.

Lumia 822 - denim - no camera

My Lumia 822 upgraded to Denim, but now the camera button does not work. There is no "Camera" or "Photos" listed in the Apps list.
I have re-booted it several times.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for your help.

@fiVE,
I had this problem when I updated my Lumia 822 as well. The camera did not work, I had two Game icons and one would not work, I had no ability to get into pictures, some of my built in apps like the alarms had no graphics on the button, things looked REALLY odd.
Take into account that this is a phone that was put out before 8.1 so making 8.1 work on it may take some tweaking and some patience.
I ended up resetting the phone back to factory defaults. (Go to Settings and then About. There is a button at the bottom to reset your phone) I was expecting this to bring me all the way back to Windows 8 again, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it brings the phone back to a base Windows 8.1. When I started setting up my phone, I told it that I did not want it to restore any previous phone settings and I wanted to start from scratch.
I am still in the process of re-building my phone which does kind of suck, but knowing the phone was not necessarily designed for 8.1, I am okay with that. The only issue that I am currently experiencing at the moment is the Verizon Backup Manager does not want to connect. I get an error on that.But I will continue to work with that as I go. But I have the camera, I have the ability to see my photos, I can setup a background picture, my apps all have icons on them, everything looks like it should and outside of the backup assistant, it works like it should.
My guess is that there was some residual junk in an app or something that was not compatible with 8.1 and was causing my headaches. I would bet that you are in the same boat and with some patience and work, you will get your phone back.

Imported Video has a Greenish Tint

I installed Premiere CS4 on a Dell Latitude E5400 laptop and am trying to edit a video. However, when I bring it into Premiere it has a greenish tint as does the border around it. See attachment I imported it in various formats (mov, avi, wmv) and the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated.

Alas, the colour tint is a classic video overlay problem. Update your driver to the latest one from Dell and cross your fingers.
It's probably not an issue with your footage or Premiere, just the way Premiere presents the Program monitor.
In fact, if you export said video, you'll probably find there is no colour cast present.

Yellow tint in picures taken with Lumia Phone Came...

Hi
I have done some extensive testing with respect to the yellow-tint-bug and I have made a PDF file with it.
I trust that it gives a fair view on what happens and when things go very wrong with our cameras.

They were done after the latest updates : GDR3 and Black.
The results are the same as before : GDR or Black didn't improve things.
Btw.
Here is one of the pictures in my PDF file that I corrected with Paintshop.
The paintshop version is how the scene really looks like.

I NEED HELP MY NOKIA LUMIA 822 IS ALL BLACK SCREEN...

ok so, my dad has a nokia lumia 822. he said that he tried to unlock his phone, so he slid the page up and i guess it asked him for a system update? so he accidently pressed ok, or yes, or whatever and his screen went all black then later showed a :-( face.
we took out the battery and tired the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button and the same screen with the sad face is shown. WHAT DO WE DO?!!! please help!

Hope you have tried the Soft Reset correctly ..
Soft Reset : Press Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds).
If that doesn't work try Hard Reset : Press Power + Volume(down) + Camera keys until the phone vibrates Then release the power button but keep the volume and camera keys pressed down for another 5 seconds.
Failing that too.. you need to visit Nokia Care

Issues with Denim update; Lumia 822

Good Day,
I have installed the newly available Denim update for my Lumia 822. But not without some glitches. If anyone can help me out, I'd sure appreciate it!
Problems (by #):
1. The pictures/photos tile no longer works. It just bounces back to that part of the screen. It says on it: "@C:\Programs\Photos\PhotoRes.dll,-2002." It shows on it the Sample Pictures on the SIM Card. The built in camera did the same thing until one of the restarts. It's not my SD card, which has my photos/images on it - the music app sees the music fine.
What else I think is related to this particular problem: Under Settings/Applications/photos+camera, I cannot get into photos+camera; I cannot get into Settings/Storage Sense; under Settings/Backup, I cannot go into auto upload for photos+videos.
What I've done:
* Took out the battery.
* Took out the SD Card, rebooted the phone without it, then put it back in again. When I turned on the phone, it did not come up with the usual question about where to change photos/videos, etc.
* Deleted all pics off the SD card.
* Put a couple of pics back on the SD card.
* Took a pic with camera to see if that would make the photos tile work. Nope. Not even the new pic from the camera helped.
* When into camera's settings and asked it to "find photos and videos." Nope.
Nothing has changed. It's not working. How can I get this to work?
2. My glance screen does show the weather even though I asked it to through Bing Weather app. This is something I thought Denim was supposed to offer.
3. The wallpaper for the tiles screen - I don't see that setting anywhere, but it looks like Denim is supposed to have it.
4. The following app files in the apps list (not on the main screen) show up as blank, gray squares: Alarms; Calculator; Games (shows up twice, one as a gray box, one as the xbox symbol); Settings; Wallet. What's with this? Which "Games" do I choose and do I delete one?
5. All the individual games are showing up in my apps list, and are all still listed under my Games app. Weird.
6. Xbox Music app has changed for the worse; I ended up downloading and using another music app instead.
7. Xbox Games used to show my Avatar be-bopping around the live tile; now it doesn't. So much for spending THAT money. I know, it was stupid, but fun.
Thank you!

Hi @avtir ,
Thanks for the feedback confirming the trouble is solved.
Temporarily disabling the real-time scanning in the antivirus software speeds up the download, both of the recovery tool itself and the firmware files, at least on my Windows-7 PC with MS Security Essentials. - The files are clean, the download just slows to a crawl if the real-time scan is enabled.
As the Original Poster you may unmark a post as the solution, and then mark another as the solution if you wish.

Nokia lumia 822 - out of luck I guess

I bought the Nokia Lumia 822 when I renewed my contract. Early on the phone was randomly turning itself off during the day and at night. I do not have a land line at home and this is also my business phone. Random shut downs are not safe at night nor good for getting business calls.
In order to get it to come back on I have to either remove the battery or hold the power and volume button down for 20 seconds.
I stuck it out after reading in Verizon's forums that this was a common issue and might be fixed in a software patch release by Nokia/Microsoft.
After several patches and a recent (this week) reset to factory settings the problem has persisted. Just this week it has happened over 15 times causing missed calls.
No software updates have helped.
The Verizon / Nokia forums still have numerous posts complaining of this issue but Verizon / Nokia does not seem to be aware of it or want to acknowledge it...
I had to reactivate my old Droid X on my line to keep a reliable phone powered on.
I did have a phone and email conversation with technical support who promised a solution and never got back to me. Now she will not respond to my emails.
I don't think another Nokia product will be purchased again.

this is the OS, not phone. it is happening to other Nokia windows phones as well. i've had this phone for approx 2 mths and have been told by verizon tech support that microsoft was supposed to issue the patch to correct this issue by the end of june. ha! i've made repeated calls to tech support, now they say patch delayed till end of july. HA! again!! sad part is, verizon has known this was an issue and continued to sell the phones. i tried to return my phone within the 2 week period, but was told that the 2 weeks start on the day you ordered the phone, not received and activated it. now i'm stuck for 2 years with a piece of crap phone. no more windows phones for me. i missed the 2 week mark by 24 hours.

Lumia 822 wireless charging: really misleading, No...

Quite annoyed by this:
If you look under Lumia 822 specifications, they say this:
http://www.nokia.com/us-en/products/phone/lumia822/specifications/
(Under Hardware):
Wireless connectivity
Bluetooth 3.0
Near Field Communication
Wi-Fi Channel bonding
WLAN IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
Qi Wireless charging
However, as it turns out, 822 also requires a wireless charging shell? For the 820, at least you see that as a listed option under Accessories, but for the 822, it is not there?
I dunno - seems wrong to me; why not have a "*" is there is a footnote needed that wireless charging shell is needed? I guess I'll keep the dual wireless charger I bought for the future with the hope that shells will become available and will not cost too much?

@slaverenz- read the user guide: http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/pdf_guides/devices/822/Nokia_Lumia_822_UG_en.pdf

In order to charge wirelessly, NFC must be enabled. I talked to Nokia support on the phone. NFC is necessary to connect the phone to the secondary device, whether it be a charging plate or headset, etc. When one goes to the settings and turns on NFC, only NFC sharing is enabled. When the shell that has not been released becomes available, it contains an NFC contact point (square) that must touch with another device to activate (the center of the charging plate for example. The phone does not charge via NFC, but connects wirelessly to the charging plate through it.

Lumia 822 updates returning error code 80072ee2

Purchased a Lumia 822 in January. On the web, I see the current version of software for the 822 is 8.0.10211.204, hardware is 1532.5951.1250.1012 My phone is currently on 8.0.9905.12 and 1532.2108.1244.0003 It has not informed me I have any updates. I have gone into settings and requested them manually. I get a 80072ee2 message "We are currently unable to check for updates." I made sure I had +40% battery and WiFi was turned on. In May, I called Verizon, the tech didn't have a clue, got Nokia on the phone, they said it wasn't released for my area yet. It's now over a month later, still getting the error message. Does that mean the release (which has been out for AT&T customers since mid-December) still isn't available in my area yet? Or do I have a problem with my phone?

Interesting--I always started the wireless BEFORE I tried downloading the updates. This time, since you said turn off the wifi, I tried checking for the updates with the wifi off. It prompted me to turn it on--AFTER it found the updates. I did, it downloaded and updated to the current version just fine. Things the directions DON'T tell you... I still think it's odd that it never prompted me for the update even though I have checkmarked both "Tell me when updates are available for my phone" and "Automatically download updates if my data settings allow it", but at this point, I don't care. <GRIN>
Thank you!

Lumia 822 - bad choice...out of luck i guess

I bought the Nokia Lumia 822 when I renewed my contract. Early on the phone was randomly turning itself off during the day and at night. I do not have a land line at home and this is also my business phone. Random shut downs are not safe at night nor good for getting business calls.
I stuck it out after reading in Verizon's forums that this was a common issue and might be fixed in a software patch release by Nokia/Microsoft.
After several patches and a recent (this week) reset to factory settings the problem has persisted. Just this week it has happened over 15 times causing missed calls.
No software updates have helped.
The forum still has numerous posts complaining of this issue but Verizon does not seem to be aware of it or want to acknowledge it..
I had to reactivate my old Droid X on my line to keep a reliable phone powered on.
I did have a phone and email conversation with technical support who promised a solution and never got back to me. Now she will not respond to my emails.
After my contract is done, I will be taking my 2 phone lines elsewhere, just about the time I will be adding a 3rd line.
Hopefully someone will think twice about purchasing this phone.

Nokia Lumia 822 latest update

My phone has a lot of the latest update features, but its also missing a lot of it too... Such as the notification drop down menu and Cortana.... My phone says it's completely up to date, but if so why do I not have certain features of the latest update to the Nokia Lumia Black?

Welcome to Nokia Discussions, Zurrriiii.
According to the Lumia 822 support page, the most recent software release for Nokia Lumia 822 is Lumia Black. The features you have mentioned like the action center and cortana are both integrated to a much newer update called Lumia Cyan. Availability of this update may vary per region or network provider.

Lumia 822 update fail

When I woke up this morning, my Lumia 822 offered me the choice to install an update. I clicked the install button and saw gears on the screen. It's been over 2 hours and the gears on the screen are still spinning. I called Verizon but they didn't know what to do. I am about to call Nokia but figured I'd post here as well until Nokia opened. I tried pressing the start key to get the phone to turn off but nothing happens. I want to yank the battery but I can't get my case off the phone and even if I did am afraid I might break the phone removing the battery cover. This is a nightmare. I am sick to begin with and this has ruined my day. Not to mention I've been unable to use the phone all morning.

You can press and hold both on the volume down button and power key for about 10 seconds.This will factory reset phone.
If that fails try the following
Input these keys on the following sequence, press them one key at a time:
Volume up
Volume down
Power key
Volume down
Make sure that you try this while the phone is charged. Data will be lost .
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520
