Pictures hazy with flash on. (Faulty back cover?)

Hi, I recently bought an n900 and I'm having a problem with the camera.
With flash on the pictures I take are hazy on one side.  Now the funny part is if I take the WHOLE back cover off the picture (same conditions and with flash) comes out looking rather normal. 
Here is a thread on maemo.org with people having the same issue.
Also it seems like not everyone has the issue.... 
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36675&highlight=pictures+hazy
If you look on page 3 of the thread someone shows an example with his christmas tree.  He got a new phone and on page 4 he takes the same picture on his new phone with flash and with cover on and the problem is gone....
Obviously its not software related because taking the back cover off fixes the problem.
Is it a faulty back cover?  Faulty camera cover?  Assembled wrong?
Should I get my phone replaced no knowing for sure if it will even fix the problem? Does Nokia know about this issue?
Not sure what to do, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

  • 6500 Slide: problem with micro SD and back cover

    Hello everyone,
    My name is Shamsul. I live in Malaysia. I just got myself a 6500 Slide a couple of days ago.
    I'm having a problem accessing files on my micro SD card.
    It seems that when the back cover is opened it deactivates the micro SD by removing pressure on a tiny switch next to the micro SD slot.
    My problem, I think, is that my 6500 Slide's back cover doesn't close as tightly as it should that when I'm playing music from the micro SD, the music gets cut off because of the movement of the back cover.
    Music from the phone's memory can be played without interruption. Music from the micro SD card will play uninterruptedly if I keep some pressure on the back cover.
    Please help.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Shamsul Sulaiman

    Just some configuration?
    or my iphone is broken?

    Try removing your case.  Also check to be sure you don't have any protective film covering the flash or the camera lens.

  • How to tacke picture with flash and have a nice picture?

    Always the pictures taken with flash light are not nice. They look foggy and light blue

    Hi ely curico,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash, Try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Cheers,

  • Filters in Bridge: photos taken with flash.

    I can't find a way to filter photos, using the filter panel, taken with/without the flash.
    In the search menu I can look for pictures taken with flash, but the filter panel would be faster.
    Any suggestion?

    You could create a Smart Collection and use that instead.
    Just set it to current folder and flash equals did fire.
    Should do the trick.

  • When i take a picture with flash the camera goes black

    Whenever I try to take a picture with flash on my camera goes black.

    There are two issues that come to mind... the first (hopefully it's this one) would be that you have a software issue that could be solved by restoring your iPhone from a back up...
    The other would be that you have a hardware issue with the camera ... if the camera worked fien before you upgraded, then likely it's a corrupted software file that can be solved by doing the restore.

  • HT201401 with flash on the picture is over exposed

    My new iphone 4s when taking pictures with the flash on - the picture is overexposed - only thing that shows is a picture of a bright over exposed light.    
    There isn't many options. My daughter has the same new phone and hers does the same.
    The camera takes a good picture with the flash off as long as it is in good lighting.
    Any ideas???

    The protective film was still on the back ----I read this on one of these posts....thanks everyone
    Camera with flash works great

    I'm sorry to say but this is a user-to-user forum with people who have issues with their devices.
    if you want this to happen then leave a feedback at:

    It is unlikely Apple would do this in remembrance of him to put a picture of S.J on the iphone 4S.

  • When i take a picture with flash in a dark place , the photo appears with a blue line . how can i default this ?

    when i take a picture with flash in a dark place , the photo appears with a blue line . how can i default this ? is this normal ???

    You probably have a filter set for the normal camera mode but not the square.
    To fix, in Photo mode, touch the filter icon (three circles) and select None for the filter.

  • Can I use an iPad 2 snap on back cover with the new iPad??

    I will be buying the new ipad and i wonder whether an ipad 2 clear back cover can work with the new ipad...because its so early there wont be any ipad "3" back covers around

    its in 0.6mm not 0.7inches
    link: http://9to5mac.com/2012/03/07/the-new-ipad-has-10-hour-battery-life-is-0-6mm-thi cker-and-0-67lbs-heavier/
    so 0.6mm is not significant if your using folio, leather, or silicon cases. Just not those form fitted hard covers, it will scratch it especially if you have a full body protector like invincible shielf, this will add additional 1.0+ mm to it.

  • When taking pictures with my iPhone 4S with flash the pictures are blue

    When taking pictures with my iPhone 4S and when I use the flash the pictures come out blue but wen I don't use the flash the pictures come out great. Can someone please answer my question to why that is happening

    Do you have a case on your phone? Many cases get a reflection from the sides and bleed light over the picture.
    The flash is naturally green/blue colour anyway..so it could be just that.

  • Forwarded pictures turn into little squares with flashing question mark

    Occasionally someone forwards me some email with supposed picture attachments but the pictures don't forward and are represented by little squares with flashing question marks.
    Any idea what causes this?
    (I use Mac mail and Safari).
    -Louise

    There are a few things that cause this, I've found.
    Sometimes it's because the email includes images in a format that Mail doesn't like, but it can also be because the attached graphics had their names changed (or were deleted completely) by an outgoing- or incoming-mail virus scanner, or because the graphics weren't really included in the email, but were really just HTML links to images stored on a web site somewhere, and the site has gone down or moved the images.
    You can usually tell which has happened by looking at the message's attachments. If there aren't any attachments, then either they've been deleted or stripped from the message, or the message points to dead Internet links.
    If there are attached files, you can look at them to see if they have names that look funny (e.g., many virus programs add the word "DEFANGED" to file names), and might have been changed. Also see if they come up with the right icon (Picture icon saying JPEG, GIF, BMP, or PNG, usually). If they're just plain white generic file icons, then they might be something that your computer can't read.
