Hey guys, someone on Samdroid (Samsung Android forums) is planning on buying a Second Hand ZTE Blade. The only problem is the camera is taking rather dodgy photos. Is this a ROM problem or a hardware problem on the device?

I've asked the user what ROM it is and I'm waiting for an answer :/

I have this problem too with my blade. I used JJ RLS9, CM7 and SS RLS5, all the same "red spot" in the middle of the picture. I think it's an hardware failure.

Update: These pictures were taken on the 'default froyo rom' but have also appeared on FLB Froyo r11.

Hardware issue?

I would say so..

Ask him to take the back cover off before taking a photo and see if it improves

Maybe something wrong with the lens plastic.. It is very poor quality after all

Hey ! Im the guy JimJam has been asking questions for , well i asked the guy who is offering me the Blade to try out what you asked me ! I'll get back to you asap with the reply . But so far it looks like a hardware issue right ? if so it isnt worth buying the blade is it ?

Defiantly not :)

These problems are rare though, don't let it put you off the Blade in general. Just look for another

The ZTE Blade may not have the great spec of all the smartphone cameras available but I've never had any problems with mine and not experienced the red spot shown in the examples. If you have the problem take it back and get another one, it's not typical of the camera on the phone.

Well he tried the lens cover thing - same result ! And its the same problem in the viewfinder ! so... i shouldn't buy it right ?

Well i'll look for another like you mentioned . But im not put off buy this ! I've seem the power of the blade on a bunch of videos ! CM7 looks spectacular on it !

Anyway just a quick offtopic question - why is the blade given more attention than Spica ? Why no official CM 6 or 7 for spica ? Isnt it better than Balde ?

Well, I suppose more people have a Blade, so devs are more enthusiastic to make ROMS for the Blade, as it will benifit more users.

The blade is way better than the spica. More RAM and better drivers make all of the difference. I think we have a GPU too...

Its not massively locked down with samsungs own GPU and CPU (Drivers are a major problem on the Spica forums) either

Plus the Spicas old now and more expensive whereas the blade is cheap and still current

Tell me about it :)

I just downloaded Angry Birds on both my Blade and my Spica. Super unplayable on my spica.
