The htc g1 camera takes pictures with a messed up color scheme
Everytime I open the camera app, the picture is horrible quality. The colors are only red, blue, yellow. Here's a link to a pic i took with the phone. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v692/kawaiixingxing/?action=view¤t=1237449610014.jpg I have no idea how to fix this. It was fine, then one day it turned out like this. Thank you again for your time

I'm pretty sure it's a defective CCD sensor inside the phone, especially if the image has an overexposed look and the shapes of objects appear distorted. If you can't get a replacement under warranty there is both an T-Mobile G1 Repair Guide and a third party T-Mobile G1 Repair Service, If you try a self-repair make sure you feel comfortable with opening devices that are not meant to be user serviceable.
Does anyone have definite proof that this is a hardware problem? My ADP1 (Google developer version of the G1) just up and started doing the same thing. As far as I know, Google doesn't warranty the ADP1, so I'm fearing I'm stuck with a phone I can no longer take (useful) pictures with.
**** it I just spoke with camera fixer they said you have to exchange the camera.... **** stupid camera on the phone...
I am having the same problem right now. Looks like you have a really wierd effect on but there is no way to change the effect in setting or anything. The camera isn't that great anyway but it'll do for me. I will have to contact T-mobile because I have insurance for the phone with them. Cheers guys!
Check the camera settings (eg. NIGHT/DAY/LIGHT SETTINGS ETC...)
DID YOU DROP IT?
OR GET IT WET?.....
ALSO THE CAMERA WILL NEED OPTIMAL LIGHTING< OR ELSE YOUR PICS ARE GONNA ****>> it's a crappy cam.... most phone cams ****.... if you want a camera for quality, buy at least a 10megapixel digital camera... CANNON or SONY are my preference... shop around......
Also, try turning the phone off, removing the battery, and reseting it that way...
