[Q] White balance camera fix when using flash. Greenish/bluish tint - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there guys,
i wanted to know if there's a fix for the white balance issue when using the flast on the sgs2, as many users pointed out the photos tend to have a bluish / greeinish tint, i would say on the skin especially...
we know that the issue comes from the fact that the led produces a bluish/greenish tint in fact since that's the very "characteristic" of the LED, but it should be fixed via software, in fact some other guys suggested to take pics with flash, then go via software and change the color temperature, which indeed will work however is one more step to do.
if i do not use the flash photos look actually quite good for being a phone!
any brillian minds on this?
thanks
gabrio

No luck. I have tried every possible combination of capture mode, pic format, and Swap endian just too have another red tinge pic. I'm stumped.
For future reference Screenshot It Trial worked just fine and is the only one that worked for me. I will definitely buy this app.

I'm not sure you are referring to the issue that made the screen gradually faded to a lighter color on one side, that was a software issue fixed on recent ROM releases.
99% have that tint? Ive never seen it in real life... Mine is normal, no yellow/blue tint, I got it at release day.

And you've seen 5,999,999 phones to be able to draw this conclusion? Some people have problems and in certain regions exchanges seem to be coming from the same batches so I can see why it may seem widespread. It's not or more people on the forum would be *****ing.
Mine had this issue and after replacing screen it has it again but little less. Mine frend has it too. so conclusion is only blind people think they dont have it

I don't think I am that blind compared my screen to a new sg2 I don't see the yellow or blue ting I purchased mine Aug 3rd. Is anyone who purchased their SGII in North America having this issue or is it just the first release batch outside of North America that is having this problem? Some on asked for a screen shot so we can all see what your looking at how about it.

None of tge SGS II has a yellow lcd display issue.... the SGS II doesn't have lcd but oled
Anyway it's a non-issue, if you really don't like the color balance of your display you just change it using chainfire3d pro

you know what they say thou beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so im guessing most people either a don’t notice it , or b simply live with it.
I showed my first phone which was quite bad to numerous people some people spotted it straight away and was shocked like me, others didn’t but did notice it when pointed out, but said they could live with it on another note they all noticed the pink spot instantly anyhow .....
I’ve had 2 now both from different batches and awaiting third tomorrow ive checked the device out in numerous shops and they all had it to various degrees along with smear / ghosting text (which not many people seem to complain about). Reminds me of when Sony released there flagship tv the x3500 followed by the led version the x4500 both of these flagship tvs had smear / ghosting. This was acknowledged as a draw back of that technology as the panel needed to warm up.
However Samsung haven’t said anything in relation to this i.e. if its a fault or a drawback with the technology which leaves most people who are unhappy with there device swapping it endlessly looking for a perfect / working model free from yellow tint or pink spot when in reality there is no such device.
thanks bcoz of ur replays.
but today i c one of my friends that have sgs2 and they sgs2 have not this issue )
i root and install cm7,criscelo,Villain,litening but i never c yellow issue in left side
NOW I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW SGS2 WITH OK LED :d
THANKS

You can replace the screen a million times, the software is the culprit... the issue has been fixed by Samsung. They adjusted the screen sensors to distribute evenly the light intensity.
Fun test for yawl... If you find the "tint" noticeable... Go to display settings, turn OFF the option that says "Auto adjust screen power"
viola.
No more tint.
however, only a true black pixel is "off" now, and battery might suffer, I haven't played too much with it, but I noticed it.
It is a software issue, but the reason some people see it more often than others, is simply the color of the images and text that they display on their screen more often. OLED will always have "warmer" tones than a standard LCD, you can tweak the software to cool them, but they are noted for VIVID color, not accurate color

Yellow tint quick fix

For everyone experiencing the yellow tint issue who either don't want to or can't service their handset for whatever reason, try this as a temporary measure. Works for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yuki.ochi.privacyfilter.free
The yellow tint doesn't bother me enough to want to send it in but the tint sometimes becomes distracting enough to irritate me. Especially so when reading off the browser or an ebook reader. This app allows me to apply a filter to the screen and I've managed to adjust the color to a point where the tint becomes barely visible. The link is to the free version but there's an ad free version as well. Just play with the settings and see what works for you. I'd expect everyone experiencing the issue to require different settings to mask the imperfections.
Hope this helps some of you out there.

The .73 firmware should fix the screen color temperature issue. They made it less warm in terms of color.
Yup. I saw your mention on the other thread but I'm already on. 73 and it's still yellow. Good to know that Sony's taking measures though.

Actually, I am noticing the yellow tint since I installed .73..
What regiion .73 do you have?
One of trickes I use that my friend here told me is massaging that part of the screen and yellow tint goes away. I have found this to be temporary but works better than the rest.

Yeah, I just updated mine to .73 too, color still looks the same. Don't see a difference in temp. It was from Asia's firmware note. Anyone tried the SG? I'm on US firmware, so nothing from here. I do see a much better response on the buttons though. Mine had a little lag before, but now it's instant.

Well I know where to look at and how to test lol several times had that one over 40 degrees Celsius
So, I think you guys are much more lucky than me. I am in Viet Nam, and I bought XPS in Hong Kong. Now I saw yellow tints but can't go to Hong Kong to change it nor I think Sony Viet Nam would repair it for me. That's bored of such a big company like Sony. It's their fault of manufacture and lot of people have the same issue, they should replace or repair it with global warranty not only specific region though

Hi. I think screen shots won't be necessary as my settings are pretty straightforward. Under "color", I set all 3 bars close to the left so I get a dark gray. For "alpha", my bar is on the left - somewhere between a third or a quarter of the way. FYI, I keep the filter on all the time. My (system) screen brightness is set to about 77 when I'm outdoors.
Do play around with the levels till you're satisfied though. I don't think a one-size-fits-all configuration is possible.

[Q] Anyone having white balance issues with front camera? (SOLVED)

On my Evo LTE, the front facing camera takes photos with a strong red tint. When I change from Auto white balance to something like incandescent, it is better, but has a slight blue tint. It does this whether we are indoors or outdoors. My wife and I were trying to use my new phone to take some pics of us sitting outside, and we ended up having to use her Evo 3d. The back camera is perfect, and does not have this issue. I may run to a Sprint store and compare mine to one they have on display. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this.
Anyone? I tried another camera app and had the same severe red tint.

Can you drop down the saturation a notch or two? Doing that for the back camera solved all of my red-tint issues and photos look amazing now. HTC should adjust the default.
EDIT: Saturation -1 is what my camera is set to and photos look great, both front and back.
The problem though is the regular camera looks perfect. No red tint at all. Even when I drop the saturation down, the front camera still has a red tint. I have a feeling I have a bad phone.

Mine is has an orange/red tint that comes and goes....are you fully stock?
I'm rooted, but haven't installed any custom Roms. It did this before root. I just hate to have my phone replaced a second time (first one had dead pixels).
EDIT: I had thought it did this before root, but evidently it did not.

Having this issue too. Wasn't always like this.
Edit: Question. Did you edit your build.prop to get Google Wallet working?
I just noticed this red tint today only on the forward facing camera. And I just modified the build.prop today for the google wallet fix. Gonna play with putting that back to test.
Edit: yup. Putting the stock build.prop back in place, and forward facing camera is back to normal.
Does anyone know why build.prop effects this?
Its the saturation on the front camera. Turn it down 1 and it will help the red tint immensely.

This completely fixed my problem!!!! Yes, I had edited my build.prop to fix Google Wallet and completely forgot about it. I changed it back and BAM (after rebooting)! If I could thank you twice for this I would. Thanks man! Now I am off to go kick myself. I really hate when I cause my own problems LOL! Well, maybe this thread will at least help one other person with this issue. If so, then it wasn't all in vain.
Edit: Thinking back on this, I thought the problem happened before I rooted, but I guess I was wrong since it is working now.

No. I am back to getting the error that the device is not supported. I know that in one of the Wallet workaround threads they say how to change your build.prop back without affecting this, but not sure if that really works or not. I am just going to wait for the official fix on it I think.
In case you guys haven't SEEN THIS yet. You can restore your build.prop back to stock.
I am having this problem now. Running Viper, with enoch kernel. I never modified the build.prop file though. I am guessing it was pre modified or the kernel may be the issue. What settings did you change in build.prop?
Edit: disregard, the edits are the ro device names. Fairly easy and works

Yellow tint on the screen, not pure white.

I was using my galaxy tab 10.1 and my s3 was lying beside it. A message came. I was eager to know who was it. I opened it, the message said that my friend was ill, i was a little disappointed, during my sad time, my eyes turned to my tab, and what did i saw, i couldnt beleive my eyes. I had never seen such a thing, i felt dissy for a moment, i went and took some cold water, i relaxed for a moment, than decided to spend some time out, met my friends, but still during the night i had nigtmares of what i saw, it seems i was going to get swallowed in the white.....
Ok lets cut the story straight, no drama, the screen seems to have a yellowish tint,white doesnt seem to look so good... Plz help me out i cannot sleep....
