may i know the 2nd picutre, the line on the road was actually purple colour and 3rd picture the words was purple colour too?

The lines on the road is pinkish magenta and the words on the fishtank is magenta

i see, but i saw in taiwan's forum they are saying the 4.3 make it worst than before..

Thank you very much for your sharing!!!! It really fix your purple tint problem.

I really it will fix mine when the update available in Malaysia. Because my problem is the worst.

I just updated last night and still testing. Let u know later tonight.

Attached thumbnail(s)

okay, thanks alot

OK... back home di.

Did some "lab test".

1. Shot this with RX100 full auto jpeg. Exif reads f1.8, 1/4sec, ISO5000


2. HTC One 4.3 also full auto. Exif reads f2, 1/7sec, ISO800 .. seems the lighting condition is about ~2.5 stops above what the HTC One can do.


3. So I shot another jpg with the RX100 with the same setting as the HTC One at f2, 1/8sec, ISO800.


Edit: 4. Add Iphone5 comparison shot.



Tonight will check if the purple stuff will show up under practical shooting conditions

Take pic #3, blow it up back to ISO 5000 using lightroom. See what you get?



Thats the #3 pic blown up to ISO6400 via software. Looks like the "ultrapixels" still suck.

My theory is that the red channel jacked up too high, waaay past the point noise becomes signal. Lets see what the update brings.

I agree.

As a former ifag... also took a shot with the ipon5

wah... wonderful..
anyway.. play hard for waiting new updates bah..

just want a confirmation here, our CID should be 044, and build number should be xxxx.707.xx by default/stock out of the box right?

and also, Asia HTC One should have OTA already correct?

Sniper.....you're still around hahaha =p
How've you been?

Btw, thanks on the update on 4.3, I'm still waiting for it here in M'sia >_<

Did some practical shooting today. Most were shot under difficult conditions but the short conclusion is that while its a substantial improvement, the purple stuff still rears its ugly head

1. Very dark restaurant with halogen spotlights. The purple comes in the darkest shadow areas



2. Night sky. I avoided any contrasty lights and the purple seems to be kept at bay. If I recall, the purples horrid on the previous firmware on the same shot. f2, 1/10, ISO1000



3. Not sure if its the AE/AF locked wrongly or just the phone's noise reduction. No improvements on low light AF.
f2, 1/10, ISO1000



4. Loads of CA. f2, 1/30, ISO250


5. HDR mode seems to work a tad better. Previous firmware overexposes this shot a lot.


6. Again, shadow areas.


7. Street mixed lighting.
