greent tint Front camera flash - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

Anybody seeing a green tint when using the front flash on the original camera apparently?

Just tested mine a number of times (I rarely take selfies), no green tint on mine.

OMG, this thread triggered me to attempt to use the front facing camera with flash set to ON.
Can someone tell me what flash? The screen goes a beige color for a second then it takes my selfie. I didn't see an LED flash appear at all. ?

That is the "flash". I never knew about it until one of my brother's showed me it. I forget which one though, either an LG or an iphone.

I actually laughed when my brother showed me. I think I remember, it was my brother with the iphone. It was actually surprisingly quite effective, works better the darker the surrounding is.

No green tint here either.

Extreme Nitpick Alert! You were warned!

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone here could confirm a small, miniscule, almost-non-existent issue I found with this beautiful device. The left (Menu) touch button seems to be every-so-slightly faded compared to the right (Back) touch button. I haven't been able to find any pictures, or take a picture of mine (no camera around at the moment) to show what I mean. It's almost ridiculous that I am spending my time and energy in typing about this, but I would just like to know if this is normal and not something that is unique to mine. Besides, I think it gives it a bit of a personality (like Nemo and his fin).
Unique to yours.

Not even sure what you mean to be honest.
Do you mean the light is dimmer?
I haven't noticed any issues in any case. I don't think I'd really care. I'm more inclined to worry about signs I've used it! (microscopic scratches that you can't see from anything but the most obscure of angles etc.)

And using the front camera to take a picture in a mirror won't work because....? Use your imagination.
I'm not actually endorsing that (though the front camera is actually not bad, so it could work with enough light), and I'm sure that's not what was meant by that post, but if you're gonna be a **** about it...

Well considering the problem is one button is slightly faded compared to the other and the lackluster FFC, I wouldn't assume that would produce anything useful. I said a picture with clarity.
It was an honest question. Obviously he can use the FFC but he is talking about something so slight it likely won't be captured with the FFC.

I know I know. I was replying solely to the quoted comment.
About that post anyway, I'm just hoping whoever (s)he is, is trying to make some sort of sarcastic statement about semantics, since the original post said "no camera around" as opposed to "no other camera around". I'm hoping that's what the post's intention was.
Oh how I hope...

Better ways than that. In any case, both remarks were pretty tame/lame. No need to make a bigger deal out of it than it is.

I was unaware that Scots and Irish were nowadays considered to be a different "race".
Anyhoo. Back on topic, still don't even know exactly what issue we're talking about here with these "faded" buttons.

My original reply was pretty light hearted I think.
And we are definitely different races, they like deep fried mars bars!! Lol
But ya we're not. And deep fried mars bars are actually delicious.

yes this is an issue and it also exists in my phone. i got my first S3 and it had lots of glue marks on the screen and the menu led was placed a bit above where it should be causing its light to come on the screen from inside of the scree. i got that set changed with a new one and now rest of the issues are gone but yes the menu led is a bit faded.

Thank you for keeping this thread on-topic. Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all. Just thought I'd inquire.

Can someone please tell me what they think this is?

I noticed this when I had the screen tilted and it was booting up. Is it dead pixels? It's weird cuz it's only on the edge and can only be seen when the screen is tilted on a bright background.

I think that's the backlight. Might want to compare it to other One's to see if it's universal or a defect.

Hello all!

I bought my phone this week and i don't know if this is normal or not...
I can't post any pictures because de screen as a reflection and it doesn't show the lines...
It isnt normal
It seems like your unit is defective
Hardware Display issues are usualy easily seen on a dark background and you have mentoned you see it when its dark

You seem to have a Nexus 4. If you look hard enough, you can see the same lines on that phone too. It's just the screen technology those phones use, it's completely normal.
I understand that but with the Z2 i dont even have to make a effort to see it...
Does it happen to you?
Thanks for the help

I have a defective unit and no i dont see any lines hence why i said a replacement is needed
The display should be stronger than the avarage human eyes which is 430ppi
Z2 Screen is 442ppi, any lines if existant shouldent be easily seen at all and if any are then there is a problem
I havent seen any at on my phone so id recomend sending yours back for a replacement if posible

I had a nexus 4 and own the Z2 as well. It is perfectly normal. It is the digitiser which is built into the glass screen that you see. If I'm not mistaken, it appears under certain lighting conditions and you can see it at times and cannot at others? It is perfectly normal so don't worry! My N4/Z2 digitiser lines are not extremely visible unless held in certain ways for light to reflect off but my brother's N4 has extremely visible lines for the digitiser! Hope this helps! :highfive:
I've just been to two stores to compare my phone with other Z2's and yes the lines are more pronounced than the others... The funny thing is that my blacks are darker and my whites are whiter... It looks that the screens are different...

Yeah some just happen to have a more defined digitiser but by no means is it something to worry about! That said, you can always return it if it is bothering you though!

Your unit is fine, im 90% sure its just the backlight (its strobes so looks like white lines on a dark background.)

It's not like that. The LCD it self is good and i don't even have dead pixels.
What i see is this:
"Polarizer lines"
I think i'm going to return it. With low light it's ok but during the day i can see it very well.
This is the second Z2 that i return. The first one had a tinted red display.
I bought it on a Uk online store that i'm beginning to suspect that is selling second quality items...
Yeah you might have a more visible polarizer on your unit which magus alot of sense
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
Actually funny you mention the polarizer.
I noticed these odd dotted lines on my screen and freaked out....
Polarized glasses.... turn my head 90 degrees and all was well... haha
Those dotted lines are normal. If you've seen mine you would freak out believe me... Lol

[Q] gap in display waterproof

just got my z2 and when sat in dark room with brightness turned up the bottom left of the screen shines a bit of light between the plastic trim and the glass display
now i am not bothered by this but will it leak water in when submerged? or am i been paranoid
also noticed the flash is off center a bit apart from that everything seems ok
thanks:laugh:
I think gaps do compromise waterproof, and the off set camera or flash led is a early batch fault
Take note that i recomend you getting a replacement

In my question thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793532) I got the answer that it doesn't really affect waterproofing because the seal is made over a larger area than the gaps.
The gaps I have are at the top right, bottom left, and the middle of the entire left side (very minimal but noticeable to my very focusing eyes - I regret looking that close to my device)
Thanks for the replys the gap doesn't bother me just worried water would get in and the slight misalignmen of the camera flash doesn't seem to affect anything so I should be good shouldt I?
Thanks

False Myths
this review should calm you: http://thedamsuites.com/2014/06/sony-xperia-z2-really-good-review/
Look in the camera lens from different angles any you'll see different "misaligns" The camera is probably not misaligned and really is only optical illusion :fingers-crossed:

problem is dont think id get a replacement as ive had it since 1st june and dont fancy having it sent off couse my experience you get it back worse then when it first went :crying:
well it was annoying me so i thought what the hell i filled a bowl up and put the phone in the bowl (which even a waterproof phone i dont understand the point in doing lol) anyway after a minuet or so the phone seems all ok there was no bubbles coming from the phone to show water getting in and all seems ok so the gaps in my phone at least seems water tight (hopefully):victory:

AOD Burn in

Looks like I won't be using AOD again.
Anyone else have this happen?

Hmm.. Can't see it in my screenshots
There shouldn't be any burn in. The image keeps moving. It doesn't stay static. The home button is static but that can be removed from the AOD in Settings.

How would a screenshot show a hardware detect like burn-in?
Also, are you sure it's burn-in and not just image retention? If it goes away it's image retention (a common thing even with LCDs).

Went to tmobile and showed them what I was seeing. I did in fact have an image burn in of the number "2" from the AOD.
They were able to help me out and swapped the phone for a brand new one because i was still under their 14 day protection.
