Ok so as I noticed,there are lot of people complaining about purple tint using the stock camera app of the One,some don't have it.
So let's see how are the percentage of both groups.
To check better the purple tint,try to take a photo of a white wall with mid to low light condition

@vegetaleb do you have it mate? I don't have any on my March built unit

some have theorized its the heat breaking the Sensor but i use my test to do intensive gaming and GPU benchs, i also use agressive CPU governors while gaming, it's often around 60c while gaming

yet my Sensor remains flawless

Of course not, I have the pink tint since I unboxed the phone in Paris,so no gaming back then nor hot weather,it was a late April batch,perhaps when HTC found a new source of lens after the infamous lens shortage,this lens maker has purple tint :eek:
But hey I got that thing on previous phones like SE Arc and SGS2

Try rolling back to 4.1.2 to see if it still occur.. in my case.. it start happen after update to 4.2.2 but rolling back by ruu to 4.1.2 didn't change it back as before. :'(

My HTC one camera produces a lot of red noise when shooting in very low light conditions... If I block camera with something black, all screen is in bright red noise (or is it purple tint? no, no, it's red :)). Noise is only visible with high ISO values (>400). Is it how it suppose to be or not?
