This has been discussed extensively since the phone came out. It has to do with the alternating on/off of fluorescent lighting and how the sensor doesn't process every pixel at the same time. It appears in different levels in digital cameras. Different exposure times and shutter speeds can help, but unfortunately we cant change that on the phone. I still havent seen any explnantion myself why its always a circle and in the same spot all the time.

It does it outdoors as well. and didn't do this until the software update. Front Facing Camera is the same way.
 
No, the green blob (run a search) was there before the update (on some phones). As was the yellow skin issue in some phones.
 
worked fine before

My camera also does this since 4.0.1 update, but only when I use the flash. What gives?
 
It's not outdoors. That's my point.

I'll spell it out for those incapable of understanding. OP states the problem occurs outdoors. By stating "first pic outdoors I have seen do it" I was meaning I have not yet seen an outdoor picture do this. Use some cognitive thinking.
