Now for some reason in low light there is even more purple coloring even when under really bright indoor lighting. And I took a picture outside and the corners of the picture were completely lacking in detail what is HTC with the software on this camera? Everything else after the update has been good even better than before.

i'm sorry to learn you are having issues with your camera blessedred.

this is a problem with your hardware - not everyone has purple tint on their photos and i have certainly never experienced that one mine (on 4.1.2 or 4.3).


please post a screenshot anyway so that we get a better idea of what you are experiencing - but i would advise you not to wait more time for a miracle patch and service your phone right away before you ruin any more photos.

Anybody else who updated their One to 4.3 having worse picture quality with the same issue as blessedred? Im not on 4.3 yet since at&t hasnt rolled it out yet but only way i get by when it does show that tint, i just adjust the ISO even though no one should be needing to make adjustments since you would think Auto takes care of it all. Im no pro with photography but that purple tint does suck. Makes me tempted to just returning the One.

How do you attach pictures on here when on the phone?

I was about to attach a photo to demonstrate this, but when the flash fired, it corrected all the purple in my picture. Go figure...

Oh I thought this was a UltraPixel camera and it could handle LOW LIGHT performance even in a BUNCH of AMBIENT light? Ok I guess I'll have to use the flash every time I'm in any part of my house that's going to help pictures and not over expose the hell outta them sure...

After the update I opened the camera (in a dark room) and it was black! Then all of the sudden the purple started to bleed from the corners until it went back to being screwed up... Worst feeling ever.

But at least the auto focus is better.

Holy crap! I'm downloading the update right now and after reading this I think I'll also face the same problem! So htc screws up here? I love my phone. This would be a great put off. It's under hardware and software warranty here but replacement would be difficult! Why the hell am I tempted to buy S4 even though I hated is plastic. S4 pals would definitely make fun now! :-(

I upgraded my One to 4.3 and my camera is fine. In fact the only problem I have is that my ringer will change on its own from ring to silent about once every 3 days. Have no idea why.

When I tried to update my ATT One, the update downloaded but wouldn't install. I had to go to an ATT support center, and they gave me a new phone. Old phone on 4.1, no tint. New phone on 4.3, HOLY COW purple tint... doh!
