well my phone was branded on o2 uk and i didnt seem to notice any green tint but when i debranded to world generic 1 i now seem to have the green tint!!
so i think its a firmware issue
Ben it's easy to prove it was a firmware issue. Let us be the judges. Just post here some pictures with o2. software and some after unbranding your phone. Everybody will know if the flaw occured after rebranding or it was a hardware issue, unfortunately :/
No matter what's in the picture. I looked at
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=151820&start=30 and every one picture seem to be "flawed" or "tinted".
Imo it is a hardware issue :/. I wish you can prove me wrong!

well one poor fix to the problem is colour adjusting photographs. Like i said this is not a good fix but it works.
What do you mean by colour adjusting? Some software that can reduce green in the right hand side of a picture?
Maybe somebody has constructed a filter for P1i pictures that could reduce green in pictures? I really don't know anything about graphic programs but i think it can be done. A universal filter that could change pictures reducing the tint? Maybe in gimp or photoshop?

well in photoshop you can select the area of the photo you wish to adjust and then alter the propeties of the shadows, highlights and midtones until the green tint is gone.
I'm no expert in photoshop but after about 5 minutes i was capable of doing it very easily on my photos which i want to look their best.

There is only onw way to do this.
1. Make a full white photo, ex. a white sheet of paper without shadows and uniform light.
2. Transform this photo to create a filter (make adjustments as necessary)
3. On the new photos, apply a *subtract* filter using white sheet photo and the new photographs.
The final result are photos without the green tint - it was subtracted from the photos.

the reason i didn't think of anything like what you suggest LAU is:
First it seems to complicated
Secondly in some of my photos the green tint is greater than in others, so if you have a uniform filter i would have thought that in some cases you may over compensate, therefore using a colour adjustment you can fix the levels as you see fit to get the best possible result.
If you could explain this idea of creating a filter a bit more i'll be glad to give it a go when i get some time.

50% of you says it is firmware issue, and 50% says it is camera module issue.
The problem is this, how does the service provider 'repair' the bloody camera? Does he reinstall the firmware or he really chunk out the bloody camera and put in a new one, and what the ****, where does the 'new' camera unit come from? Alice's wonderland?

Well, I sent it for repair (originally for a speaker issue but also mentioned the camera green tint problem). Got it back with a working camera (and speaker). The firmware was the same as I put on before sending it so nothing changed there leading to the conclusion that the camera was replaced.
Where it comes from? Probably a proper batch... I guess they got a bad batch of camera modules and now also have a proper batch.
You can correct for coloring in firmware but since the issue is not consistent you can't fix it completely in the firmware/software. So a 50% fix might be possible but it appears only replacing the camera module fixes it 100%.
