Help Light leaks - low light camera performance

[Deleted User]

So my HOX cannot handle low light photography, check the attachment you'll see why. Does this happen to your HOX? I didn't have such problem with my old 4S.

I feel like the lens inside the camera is either dirty or wasn't aligned correctly

Thoughts?

p/s not really sure the term for this, let me know if you know

Yeah, that doesn't look normal. It's not fantastic in low light, but I've certainly never had mine do that.

Has it always been that way?

whoa not gonna lie that's kinda cool but no that's not normal at all...

Same sort of thing with me when I was at gigs recently I have had issues with low light just like that...

Yup, it has, I find it really annoying. I attached some more photos below, you can see that all of them have this problem. Ruin all the low light photos :'(

Everyone please take some low light photo with your HOX and post them up so I can compare and perhaps use them to complain to HTC?

Thanks

Here's a few that I took in vegas a few months back...

I'll have a mess about tonight. I'm using an AOSP ROM so my results might be slightly different though.

Seems like you somewhat have the same problem, does it annoy you?

IMO it looks like a hardware problem, not sure if it will be fixed with another ROM. Please do post your photos up though

Got some shots with mixed results. I'll upload them when I get home from work in the morning.

Try cleaning the lens. Mine did that until i cleaned it.

Flaring, sometimes called light flaring or lens flaring.

From what i was able to experiment with the S2 and the HOX at night, it seems that both have this lens flare effect because of low light conditions. I would say it is normal.
