Hi all,
Ive been a Lurker here on the forum for some time now, but decided to join cause im hoping to join the android Major leagues with an M7.
Ive loved the phone ever since i 1st saw it, but ive only gotten around to actually buying one "ONE" (excuse the pun) only now, & ive been revisiting the forum & reading up on the phone.
seems like it does have some issues with the camera though,
so far, thanks to the forum i know to look for the phone build date & the camera sensor info via a root explorer. what ive read so far indicates
Please correct/add-on any newer info or opinions with regards to the above. aside from these. is there anything else i should be looking for? or even any other noteable issues on the phone? i think i read something about the HDR mics biend excluded from later batches but havent got around to researching that yet.
EDIT: whats the general consensus on when the the HDR mics were swapped out? Is there a way to determine which mic you have?
Thanks !:good:

build dates after 2013-Sep should be in the clear
sensors ->> VD6869 = BAD! , OV4688 = OK , SHARP = BEST . "Browse to "/sys/android_camera/sensor" and open the file with a document viewer."
best way to test the sensor is to place a hot phone face down & check the camera for pink/purple tinting
Green tinting is a software issue & fixable
