Pink spot using camera Galaxy S issue.

Hi to everyone,

Today i noticed a pink spot when using the camera on my Galaxy S. The pink spot occurs in taking pictures of halftone backgrounds and has about the size of half screen width and height.

The pink spot occurs both in display and in the saved picture itself.

Atached to this post is an example of the pink spot. Its the original small size pic. The resolution of the pic doesn't seem relevant, it occurs at any pic/resolution size.

The phone has been updated to the latest firmware. I dont know exactly if it allready occured before or just after the update.

Hardware reset doesn't solve the problem

The issue has been reported as hardware related on other brands phones (HTC, just google and you will find out) but allso on Samsung Wave:
The picture and  thin this post is very similar as my "wood floor" picture

Anyway today i send back the phone for repair and hope that this pink spot problem will be solved.

Are there other people with this particular pink spot problem on Samsung Galaxy S? Please let me know.

I too have that pink spot, but so did my old tocco ultra. It's a samsung thing...

I just bought Samsung Galaxy S2 few days ago, and just changed due to pink spot issue. Unfortunately, the problem is still there.

Any solution to the pink spot issue?

Thanks.

hi Goodflyer,

Yes, I saw the post about adjusting the white balance too. And also saw someone's posted that he got the same pink spot problem on his 3rd exchanged phone. Do you think, it's some strange coincidence for that guy to receive 3rd replacement with the same problem?

Thanks for your advise. Most probably will send it back to shop again in these 2 days.
