haha never said that u used anybody else's money man. btw just looked ZU at sony centre..humongous! certainly not for one handed use is it?

will consider upgrading if the camera is 8M ultrapixel. any official specs for it?

Go Google it, plenty of review about it.

Usually when people say student use such good stuff means use parents money

sorry if I misunderstand your statement

I feel u bro. cuz it's kinda annoying at times... but what to do? Lets hope for a software fix. I realise that the algorithms in their image processing makes the image turning purplish hue when taking black subject. Even with adequate lighting...

Double post

Not thinking of upgrading but may just add Z1 to my collection and maybe dump my Nexus 7

So im guessing the purple tint is a software issue? Or should i still send it in for warranty service tomorrow?

Off topic a bit, how many part time jobs you work in order to buy this phone?

During my uni days, just few years back even work multiple jobs still not enough to buy multiple flagship phones

working for part time freelance job will earn u in no time. if u got alot of network in this field. PC fairs, camera fairs, exhibitions, etc... RM100 per day... I also earn some money online Since now I'm a full time student so no time to do freelance job d

This HTC One of mine is bought using parents money

edit.dunno why keep doublepost.

Some explanation about purple tint.

That's what i mean. As a full time student in my uni, I hardly have time for other things. It really depends on what course you took and what uni you went I guess

I'm not sensitive lor, if sensitive I would halau you already like other threads claiming you kacau kawasan

agree with the forumer , after i get my replacement camera i tested it ..record video for 5min after that switch to camera , around camera will become purplish . But after that i put at a cool room and the phone is totally cool , i open back camera and put at black table ...the camera is totally black agian

during sem break can go n work for a while i guess ah out of topic. back to HTC topic. btw ur link provide the best explanation. definitely not hardware. problem but sensor calibration being too sensitive to light:)

I'm not doing any job. Just trade and sell here and there. Save some pocket money

u are a student? in which field? Engineering?
lol i tot u are working professional. always show us those technical post

he's working already. He's telling about his past on the post

TL;DR its not a manufacturing defect, more likely a defective design


All CMOS sensors will behave this way. Sensitivity to blue/purple is always higher than other colours as blue/purple photons have higher energy per photon (ask your Physics teacher why. If he/she cannot answer ask him/her go back to university).

After that, its a combination of both hardware and software. Its not a fault as in broken stuff, but more of a hardware design issue. Firstly, the front-end gain is high, therefore the noise, in this case blue channel noise, gets amplified.

Next is the software. By right good DSP should tame this aggressive gain and return the blue channel back to reasonable levels. The aggressive nature of this again due to HTC engineers needing to deliver on a promise of great lowlight sensitivity, is the cause of this purplish tint.

In this case, its a mix of both hardware and software design issue. Its not a device failure or out of spec because the specs were specified so by HTC, though it may appear to be a defect. The sensitivity of each individual sensor will be different, and will have slightly different noise floor levels due to the nature of mass production. Thats why some of you sent into warranty and got back a less purple camera module. But this is entirely random, as evidenced by those who claimed warranty, had it replaced, and still have purple.

In any case if there is a defect, it is a defect in HTCs specifications, and a defect in both hardware and software design.

haha i see.. then i misunderstand d.. so u are the student now, nuttyking91?
