Lumia 928 Front-Cam Pictures are Yellow

Hello,
After the recent Amber update, the phones takes HORRIBLE front-camera photos. The white balance settings don't help at all and everything is given a yellow tint - people look like a cartoon from the Simpsons. Please tell me this is being addressed in an update that won't make me wait until GDR3... I'm going back to school soon and I'd really like to show off the camera quality especially since it is such a beautiful phone. Please fix this, I miss taking photos on my phone.
In addition, the pro-cam gives a yellow tint and softens images in the hi-res review. I thought it would give the full HD review?
Thank you,
- Alex

Front camera picture quality - iPad 4 - iOS7

Recently i purchased iPad 4 and upgraded to iOS7. The upgarde was successful.
But i just noticed, my front camera picture quality is not that good as my friend's ipad's has.
I dont know whether its beuase of new iOS or the hardware issue with my iPad.
I tried connecting with local Apple Service Center here, but they were totally blank about it and had no clue why is it so.
Can anybody help here?

I also just updated my iPad 2 to iOS7 yesterday and discovered the same issue with grainy pictures. I know what the problem is...my camera is permanently zoomed in 30%, just like when you switch from camera to video. Choosing between video and camera, there is no change in the zoom on screen. This is a software issue and must be fixed with a software update. Has this issue been addressed?

Lumia 920 front camera lens distortion (not dust)

Hi community,
Have a next issue - all pictures/video from front camera are distorted on top (I can see that upper edge of camera is just covered by glass curve - so the effect I'm getting is quite annoying). I've seen couple of videos on youtube made by 920 front camera - everything is OK there. Please see attached couple of images. Is anybody else having this issue?
Solved!

It was physical defect (so have no idea how your reset would help solving it) Got replacement from my carrier. Glass is flat this time - no curves on edges. So no "lens" distortion effect. Please see photos of the front camera and gorilla glass before and after replacement.

Nokia Lumia 900 Front camera issues

Hi Moderator,
I bought the new Nokia Lumia 900 few days back and today for the first time when I tried using the front camera on one of my video calls it just froze. Thinking that it is software(skype, tango) problem I tried to open regular camera but the front camera wouldnt come up. I called At&t technical support he advised me to switch off the phone, remove sim, re-insert the sim and turn it on. It worked(thought I still dont understand the realtion between sim and camera). But after some time the camera again hung up on me. This time I switched my phone off for 5 minutes and then turned it on it worked. And I cannot do the whole process again and again all day. Is that a known issue or defect in my phone.

I also have a new Lumia 900 with skype installed. I am finding that the experience on wifi is still not as smooth as Facetime on an iPhone. I am also finding that after I use it a second time (my call hung up in the middle), suddenly my front camera will not work correctly anymore. It is showing the image as though it has some kind of a filter applied and there does not appear to be a way to turn or reset this filter. Switching to the front view worked fine. Audio continued to work fine and my phone did not lock up, other then possibly internet delays. I got the front camera to work again by powering down. I think there might still be software issues.

Lumia 810 front camera white balance and flicker

Maybe I'm expecting too much from the front camera, but it gives a purple tint to everything! Is this normal on this phone? I can manually set the whitebalence but it never looks right.
Also, I noticed it was flickering badly in low light last night. Its only my second day with the phone so I am going to do more testing tonight.
Are these normal or should I exchange the phone? The back camera has **bleep** whitebalance as well but at least I can get it to look decent.

The front-facing camera and white balance issues also occur on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I tried following Joe ... Ward's link http:www.adobe.com/go/wish which led me to eventually led me to "Adobe AIR Ideas website" and this link: http://ideas.adobe.com/air/ is not working: HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
Adobe, please make a note of it... we need automatic white balance "WHITE_BALANCE_AUTO" support on these tablets and mobile devices in AIR for Android!

IPhoto pictures are yellow?

I was testing out iPhoto on my school's computers because I plan on buying a Macbook for college. I had a bunch of black and white images and they all turned yellow when I went to slideshow. Is this a problem with this version or are all iPhotos like this. The yellow is really annoying...

Is there a way to have the pictures not be yellow? I read comics on the computer and having them all yellow would be a total pain. Any ideas where i can click on a bunch of pics and put them into RGB or someway for iPhoto to not turn them yellow? Would there even be another program with a slideshow function I could use?

HT5137 new i phone 4 camera pictures are shady grey how do i fix this please!

Hi I have a new i phone 4s when i take pictures its grey and with shadows how do i fix this please!

Then you may have a hardware problem but try some standard troubleshooting first...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Front cam deteriorated after lollipop upgrade

Afte lollipop upgrade front cam pictures are very sloppy and blurry . Previously they were much much better now the picture quality is too bad as if I am using a 0.2 pixel cam
Has anyone faced this issue pl help me

I can assure everyone here that both the cameras are WORKING PERFECTLY FINE with me in fact after lollipop upgrade, the main camera has become much much much more awesome!
Have a look at my Z1 cam's improvement - http://i.imgur.com/6Cor3JK.jpg
Either the phone is still not updated correctly, or you have some wrong settings in your 'manual camera settings'
Try this - Clear defaults, cache, and settings for your phone's camera application and try again.
P.S. I was using GoogleCamera for these photos in kitkat and in lollipop as well (link attached)
Feel free to ask away :-)

One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry. If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

i installed ios 7.after that my primary cam, one day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry. If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's. The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones. We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back. Now try the camera ...Fixed! It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again.

Lumia 928 - Black Update - Panorama Taken Pictures...

I have a Lumia 928, updated it to black while in India. I took some pictures using Panorama this weekend at a tourist location, and cannot find the files anywhere. I have previously succussfully taked Panorama pictures and they have saved to the camara roll, but now they are not there.

Hi whited,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
The issue starts since the phone was updated to Lumia Black, is that right? What troubleshooting procedures have you done so far? Did you try to use another camera lens application aside from this? If yes, can you see the pictures taken from it in camera roll? You also have the option to uninstall and reinstall the said app and let's find out if the issue still occurs.

Lumia 620 option to select front camera has vanish...

Noob here so go easy on me, tried searching but couldn't find anything...
My Lumia 620 seemed to spend most of the weekend updating various things including windows 8.1 cyan. now when I select the camera function I haven't got the option anywhere to select the front camera. When I start the standard (Microsoft?) camera app either from the apps menu or by using the camera button I just get a choice of Video, Burst and Single Photo modes across the bottom, tapping on ... brings up photo and video settings but no option anywhere to change to front camera. The rear camera seems to work fine.
Is this likely to be related to the updates or could something else be up (I haven't tried to use the front camera for a while).
Any suggestions appreciated.

Everything's simple when you know it/how to
From within the camera settings, you can also change default camera app if you've installed other ones. The Nokia camera app and Nokia panorama app are free apps to concider if you like taking pictures
And if you're one of those selfie-junkies, you have the Nokia Glam me app

Lumia 920 Front facing camera blury, exaggerated s...

Hi,
I'm trying to understand if my frontfacing camera has a defect or it really is supposed to be that bad on a 920. I started noticing the images are always sort of blurry even though i try to hold it extremely still and that the colors are kind of bad.
What really put me over the edge was seeing my wife's iphone's result side by side. hers was crisp, clear, beautiful while mine looked like it was from a first generation digital camera.
Is this expected? has anyone else compared iphone 5 and 920 FF camera results side by side?
thanks

Hi Amakhan,
Traditionally front facing cameras have not had much technical focus as most people use the back facing cameras to take photos. However, with the advent of the Facebook-photogenic generation, there has been a sharp rise in the use of front facing cameras for impromptu poses.
Now, there are differneces in the hardware between the phones you have listed. For one, the Nokia 920 only has a 1.3MP front camera, while the HTC 8X has a 2MP snapper (which HTC claim is even better with their proprietary imaging technology). Obviously, photos are going to look better on the HTC as they have obviously focussed effort on their cameras. The same case could be made for the iPhone, as their adverts always seem to have people making FaceTime calls.
It all depends on your needs, if you find your front facing camera more important than your back facing camera, then by all means the HTC or iPhones are the phones for you. In upcoming firmware updates for the 920, the imaging of the front facing camera may be improved, but complaints about the quality are few and far between.
I sure hope the firmware updates will address this issue. This is my primary request at this time.
I don't think its right to have a dismissive attitude toward wanting a decent front facing camera. Nokia put the camera there, it should take good pictures. Facebook, youtube and myspace have been around for a long time. Many people like to take pictures of themselves. I dont think its wise to write off this segment of the market.
All i'm saying is that the phone has a camera. I'm sure it is able to focus. They just need to use some of the technology they use for the main camera in this one. I dont expect it to be as good, but it needs to be better.
For example, FF cameras are usually used to take pictures of the user -- someone with a face. you can use the algorithm published over a decade ago (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/viola/Pubs/Detect/violaJones_IJCV.pdf), find the face, and focus on it like even the cheapest point and shoot cameras are doing these days.
The attitude that "this phone is not for that" is exactly why the iphone has done so well. Otherwise, why should we have internet or apps on the phone either -- heck, its for making calls.
It might seem petty, but I was literally in the car with my wife. we were goign to go return her iphone and ger her a lumia. she happened to snap a photo of herself on my camera. it was terrible. we turned around and went home. That's one sale lost. There are lots of poeple that use Facebook and want to take and post photos of themselves. Lets not give up on that market because we dont want to put some software into one of the cameras on the phone known for its camera.

Lumia 1520 reboots when front camera is used

Hi all, I picked up an international version of the Lumia 1520 a couple of weeks back in India and I just realized that the phone reboots when ever I try to use the front camera. This is happening with all apps. The apps that i have tried till now are as follows
OneShot, Nokia Camera, Default camera app and Camera360.
The reboot happens with all the apps only when I try to use the front camera. I have tried hard resetting the phone but that too has not solved the problem. I have seen a couple of discusstions on this topic over here but none of them contained any helpful replies.
The handset is running the Lumia Black update. I'm wondering if this is a hardware issue or software issue. If it is a software issue I dont mind waiting for a patch, but if it is a hardware issue then I have no option but to reutrn to it. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I purchased a Nokia Lumia 1520 from Snapdeal. 2 days after using the phone, I inserted an SD card for data transfer and it didn't work with the phone. I tried to format the SD card as per Nokia forums and also tried to reset the phone but to no help. I took the handset to Nokia Care (Net Dot Solutions, Tilak Nagar, Delhi) and they tried to do a software upgrade but to no help.
I submitted the brand new working phone and the Nokia care kept it for 15 days. The only reply I ever got from them was that the set is in the factory with no status update at all. After 15 days I got response from Nokia care that the Phone is warranty devoid and not covered under warranty any more. There was no specific reason given for the warranty being devoid.
When I went to collect the set, it had minor scratches on the screen, which were not there when the set was submitted. The support personnel said that these are very minor and expected to be there. Very Strange! Also upon using the phone after I got it back from Nokia Care, I found that the front Camera is not working and the phone crashes each time the Camera is opened. Also the Auto-Brightness control (probably due to its sensor) is also not working.
Nokia care has damaged my phone in the 15 days they had it. Who is to be held responsible. And now they say my phone is warranty devoid and I need to pay for any repairs.
NOKIA Care - Disgusting!
