Pink screen syndrome

I have two HTC Desire's. One has the nicest, crispest, contrasty screen you could hope for with beautiful colours, blacks and whites.
The other has a pink cast to everything which is very noticeable when they are side by side, but still quite noticeable when viewing individually. It really detracts from the experience.
I'm thinking of returning it for a swap-out.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Could you take a picture of them side by side showing the issue? I'm getting a Desire soon probably and would be nice to know if my device will have this issue or not.
Also maybe people with just one device can relate to a picture more, because most people probably just have one Desire ;-)

I could take a picture, but I couldn't show it to you as I am a junior member here and not allowed to post urls.
The cast is only 'annoying' if you are swapping from one phone to another, as I was doing repeatedly as I set them up. In use, I am now finding that the eye adjusts well enough that the cast isnt actually a problem, soI am going to stick with these phones and not swap - I could end up with a worse one!
Colour is very subjective, and it could be that my other phone is actually slightly blue in cast, exaggerating the difference.

yes, post a pic if possible,
and make sure the brightness of both screens are the same, because sometimes if the brightness was low on the AMOLED display could generate a slight pinkish hue to the screen

no need to upload them to other sites, ... you can "attach" pictures directly from your PC to here!

Something else is going on here. The screens seem to drift in colour SLIGHTLY over time. Both are on auto-brightness, and the one which was lightly pink is now fine, and the one which was fine is now slightly blue.
Like I say, dont all overreact to this. It is slight, and you would never spot it unless you had the two machines side-by-side as I have.
It is not an issue; more of an observation. They both make my Kaiser look SO old and lacking in the screen department.

Hi,
please check this thread:

I've posted up a pic.

Is my Galaxy Nexus screen okay?

Hello. So this is my 6th GNexus that I received today, because I just seem to be getting phones with the same dark screen (in my eyes they are dark). This is at 25% brightness.
Or maybe I'm used to my first brand new one that was just perfect to me? It was naturally bright. The current one I have seems good, but the keyboard is darker and in the notification greys and browser bar grays u can notice the color differences. When I go to a website that's background is reddish/organish it's pretty noticeable there.
As of me typing this, I spoke to Verizon and said if on my 7th GNexus (next one coming Thursday 3/29) had the same issue with the screen they'd be consulting it with Samsung to see if it's a software issue or the LED inside the screen is messed up or something.
Thanks. So how would you describe a "good" screen? Pictures appreciated, just making sure I don't have one that's fine and I'm freaking out about it.

Are you for real or just trolling?
Seriously? Complaining about a dark screen when you have the brightness set to 25%? The screen is supposed to be dark the lower you set the brightness at; that's just common sense, geez...
I think I've finally decided to stop coming to XDA. Coming to these forums just gives me a headache now. All the absolutely idiotic threads/posts by what seem to be either trolls or complete retards. /endrant

I'm for real.
It's at 25% brightness and I've held not one but two GNex in my hands that looked fine at 25%. Something is wrong.
If the forums give you a headache and you can't tell the difference between trolling and reality, welcome to the interwebz. /endrant.
Maybe the thread wasn't completely necessary, but there's the occasional decent person that likes to input on the situation.
Let's start by clearing your headache, you didn't need to reply, if it was a "idiotic thread by a troll or compete retard". Lol.

Let's look at the one constant between all 7 phones, you. I've got one guess where the problem is located.

Okay, thanks. I appreciate you coming forth with a more reasonable reply.
In case I'm still being looked upon as a troll, does anyone know the symptoms for a "bad" screen? I searched and read the thread about what's okay and not for a Galaxy Nexus screen but seems like I have some good stuff and some bad stuff, which is confusing.

User error. Obviously.

So I'm guessing you've had a look at the sticky on this forum? I don't see what's so confusing about it? You either have unattainable expectations on what the screen 'should' be or your the most unlucky person ever. There's no way 7 devices in a row would be faulty.

Yeah, you got me thinking now, anyway here are some pictures, while I'm not a pro photographer I tried my best as I was in a hurry. These are taken from an HTC Thunderbolt. (25% brightness) These look right?
Anything odd in the color of the yellow coins in Temple Run?
Red and Brown seem odd to any of you?
Keyboard, here's where I really think it's a bit dark, look behind the keys. This is a screenshot but if the issue shows even in the Android OS Screenshot.. isn't that an issue?

i think a visit to your friendly neighborhood eye doctor will do wonders. or an eyepatch so the looks you get won't be so bad.

Ehh a nice amount of sarcasm there but, that can mean 2 things good or bad, so you think it's alright?

Looks fine. I've seen pictures that were easily worse.
Sent from my Nexus in Texas.

Okay, thanks huge sigh of relief.
So the other ones I had that were brighter, were just different screens but they weren't bad (nor was this one)? Right?

Looks just fine to me.
You have the brightness at 25% though? If the screen on another one looked fine at 25% (maybe a demo in the store?) maybe you should think about the lighting where you used it. If it was inside and fine at 25% but you are using yours outside at 25% then that is likely the problem. The brightness needs to be higher in brighter rooms / brighter days.
Try setting it to auto and see if it works fine for you that way. If it does, then you are using it as intended AND it works for you, so no worries. Remember, it is an AMOLED display and is designed to be more power efficient than other displays, so having it on auto should be just fine.
I personally set mine to 20% on another phone (totally different type of display, though the backlight itself might be similar, IDK) and its fine until a bit of sunlight hits it. I then switch it back to auto when I exit a building or enter a place with those obnoxiously bright halogen lights.
I suspect that is the issue you are having, how you are using it vs how it is designed to be used.

I know what you mean. But the 3rd GNex and the first I had, everything on the phone was literally brighter on 25% brightness. So I guess every phone has a different screen? (The phones with working/good) screens.
What I mean by "brighter" is for example the background of the keyboard set when your going to type a message, it varies a lot in brightness from phone to phone.

Different panels!

Does HTC use panels from different manufacturers? Because I have two HOX right now, and I can see a BIG difference between the screens. One of them have much warmer colors and is at the same time brighter and have better viewing angels. Or can it really differ that much between screens with the same panel?
Anyway, will test if they have the same screen on time, and if they are made in different countries.
And finally here is some shots I took. The difference shows more IRL then the pics but atleast you can see there IS a difference.
Edit: I have now checked last_kmsg on both phones, and there are indeed two different panels! The warmer one have panel_id=0x294000f while the colder one have the same as some in this thread, panel_id=0x4940014...

It always happens with devices from HTC. There is a thread in Sensation forum for the same. There were two types of screens used for sensation(mainly) One from Acer and another sharp if i remember correctly. The Sharp made had yellow tint and less vivid. While Acer LCD had vivid but more of them had ghosting problems. You can check the Panel type in devices using same method i beleive.

How annoying, I hate products where it is a lottery if you get a good or bad panel.. And unfortunately there isn't anything about panel_id in dmesg on the One X. Anyone know another way to check, aside from taking it apart?

I have also seen that difference in display color, now I have my 2nd ONE X

same thing for me, first device was white with vivid color, 2nd is yellow with worse colors.

Also the serial number from my ONE X Grey starts with H23 and is made in Taiwan

Bugger! How is one supposed to know if they have an inferior display if you don't have another model to compare it with?
Just out of interest have you had any of the display issues that have been posted in the numerous threads on either display?

BTW, i was/am using Screen Adjuster to adjust the screen tone to my tastes. Its not a solution, however better than none. I didn't test it with my HOX yet. Should work.

Any of these has flex or flickering?

Yeah, the warmer one have had it ONE singel time, but it felt like a software glitch, with it "moving" the whole screen, so to speak. And both ofc have that problem with the notification bar, but that I know is software. Other than that I haven't seen any problems, yet.

Could be, but IRL I can't really see any difference in proximity to the surface. And would that really make the viewing angels worse? Because the cold one get noticeable darker from the sides while with the warm one you barely notice any difference.

I got a gray one on Friday and a white one today thinking I'd prefer white. The display on the gray one is startlingly perfect. I mean like “OMG, look at that display” perfect. The white one's not as bright and is a lot warmer and looks dull in comparison. They’re both fine and neither flicker or have any of the other discussed screen issues. Oh well, the gods obviously want me to have a gray phone.

It's hilarious how there is a thread like this for EVERY single new phone released.
Just enjoy the damn phone and stop worrying about if you have the "inferior" screen. It's sad really.

my wife's and mine are diff too. mine is little more yellowish but when you did not put side by side you wont notice it.
btw the minor screen flicker is kernel issue with tegrak 3...TF prime had this issue much worst off + multitask screen tearing than one x, currently itz just being solved with latest firmware's kernel.

Do you go from forum to forum creating posts like this in response? If so, it's sad really.
These aren't cheap devices and of all the parts of the phone the display is probably the most important because you'll be staring at it for a year or more. I don't blame people for wanting the best example of the display they can have or *****ing because there's such a broad disparity between them from device to device. If manufacturer's QC and tolerances were better threads like this wouldn't need to exist.

OMG my white one look yellow like that pic
singtel one

I noticed another thing with the colder one, there are some weird vertical lines in the screen. They are only visible in certain lighting conditions, like if you reflect it at your computer screen. Haven't seen that on any other phone. Haven't had the chans to check the warm one yet. I'll report back then.

Sigh... is this what everyone was talking about?

Just got my phone back from being S-OFF'd and decided to check my camera for a purple tint: http://imgur.com/a/NrAvJ#0. Is this what everyone's been talking about? If so, looks like I have a crappy unit.
What does the purple tint actually affect? I've noticed that my pictures with flash off turn out a bit blurrier, but I don't know if this is one of the side effects. I'd really like to trade in my unit for one that does NOT have this problem, but then I'd have to pay for S-OFF again.

This was with my phone lying flat down on a black leather chair. When I cover the lens with my finger, it just looks like the color of my finger because light is still getting in. If I cup the phone with my hand to block off the light, it's black and then I slowly see blue noise creep in after some time.

I personally believe this to be a software issue and will be fixed in an OTA..

I'm really hoping this is the case, but I've read that it doesn't exactly make sense that it's a software issue since some units are on the exact same software without this purple tint? I'd hate for it to be a hardware issue that's simply swept under the rug by tweaking the software.

Not every phone is the same, there are multiple instances where one phone acts one way and another phone differently.
IF it is hardware I wont settle for anything but a brand new phone not taking a refurb on this phone.

I thought other people were seeing the purple tint in normal pictures. the images you posted just looks like low light noise. I normally see this type of low light noise when the sensor is pushed to hard by the software or the software is artificiality trying to add contrast in low light. I bet it is probably a combination of the sensor in your camera and the software. With any luck HTC can find a software fix for OTA. I know Motorola fixed the blue tint on my Droid 3 with a software update....

I agree, I sincerely hope that the VZW HTC One didn't use any cost cutting measures and this is a result of that and why it took so f*****g long to get to us.
and now I'm out $150 for being a loyal customer and buying my phone 1st day, had it been second day, I could have returned it but noooooooo.
I should have known they'd drop the price, but SO SOON!
HTC One Maxx must be REAL close..

Your phone isn't defective. That is the software trying to artificially induce contrast - if you take your phone and try some lowlight pictures you'll see it jump to a blue/purple/red tint as it tries to do its ultrapixel lowlight "magic". I can see this happen on mine too. The problematic phones are MARKEDLY worse.
I think a software fix will rectify the situation, and since HTC has acknowledged the issue, it will come in the next update. Unlike Samsung, whose sh*t Galaxy Nexus screens were so poorly made, yet they refused to acknowledge the problem.

The sensor is too good at what it does. Even with no light it is still trying to "sense up". Same effect seen on other ultra low lux cameras. Easily rectified with better software. It might just be that the sensors that exhibit this effect are actually better than the ones that don't.

Yep...this whole thread reminds me of my DSLR days and the Dpreview forums. Go take some real pictures and see what you get. If you still see purple casting on the picts then it is probably software. Now, you may see some purple fringing when there is bright light (ie sun) just off the edge. This happens with most phone cameras (and many regular). It would just be the bright light that would be purple though.
I am no expert but I cannot see how anything S-off would cause a purple tint/fringe.

He may mean the camera.apk from the CM 10.2 ROM but I am not sure either.
Sorry

Turn the iso down... What happens is the lens tries to open too much and is catching the ends of the light spectrum. Ex. Reds and blues. Other phones might not get these colors because the RF Stopper won't allow the lens to open up enough to start getting those colors

I saw at least one person mention that their camera wouldn't capture focus on anything further than 3 feet away. I was experience that problem too. This evening I was at a football game and was getting CRAP focus on the field. I was getting the people three feet in front of me in focus. I wondered if the lens was dirty. I wiped the lens with the camera app open and it forced a refocus and it finally grabbed focus out on the field. I tried shifting focus to other areas and focus was crap until I covered the lens and then let it refocus on the new item. Then it would grab a crisp image. If anyone else is encountering this issue, with the focal length not adjusting, I was curious what would happen if you tried the same thing.
Obviously this isn't ideal but it at least provides hope that software could remedy the issue.

Camera Purple tint fix?

Aside from waiting on an update, would flashing a rom or kernal help at all with the HTC one camera issues?? I really want to avoid getting my phone replaced for a warranty replacement. I am passed the 14 days, i just rooted my phone and got S-Off. Someone please help!!

I am running cm10.2 and I get the purple haze. 10/11 seemed better that 10/9 build... Might just be wishful thinking tho.

It isn't a software issue.

If you are having issues with the camera then you really need to have it replaced under warranty. The issues we are having is from a bad image sensor, not software. The bad sensor will have more issues with purple tinting in the edges, generally turn out darker and more grainy even at the same exposure and ISO. I have a few sample pics on Google Plus. Also below is my HTC One with a bad image sensor issue (left) next to a CLNR from Verizon (right) that does not have this issue. They are running the same software and have the same default settings applied before I recorded this. You can see the camera software on the bad one cycling through various levels trying to optimize the image.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUrHQ92x65c
So bottom line - Don't wait on an OTA to fix this. If you have an HTC One with a bad sensor then get it back to stock and replace it under warranty.

Mine seems to be ok. Mine actually when put camera down will stay black for a bit, then the purple will creep in. But it definitely doesn't change around a lot like the video shows. Sounds like I got a good one. Mines also the blue one from best buy so, idk if that makes a difference.

The good sensors still have a bit of issue with tinting in very dim photos, right at the cut off where the automatic flash would otherwise kick in. That can be fixed with software. What I had on the first one was no consistent across the entire image. For lack of a better term it just wasn't as sensitive as the replacement or my T-Mobile HTC One's sensor.

Uh, sorry to break it to you but both are equally defective. If it shows anything other than pitch black (maybe with a tiny bit of noise) when you set it down, your sensor's bad. Both of yours are going bright pink in total darkness and have severe tinting in low light shots.

If I lock the bad one to ISO 200 still pure pink. The replacement is black center with pick edges. Did you check the pics on my G+ album? There is definitely a difference. Could be this new one is bad too, I don't have my T-Mobile HTC One any longer to compare side by side. I'll mess around with them both and grab some screen shots so you can see what I am talking about with the ISO setting.

It's definitely better but it's not good. A working sensor should not be showing discolored edges on any ISO setting, especially the lower ones like 200.
You can see a pretty severe tint in these three pictures:

Agreed, better but not good. Poor choice of words on my part. In any event, there is a wide variety of image quality even with the same software which was my point to begin with.
Received replacement #2 yesterday. Still notice a maroon (this time) noise at ISO800 and can definitely see it at ISO1600. ISO 400 is dark starting out and just barely gets a tint in the corners when the camera is left sitting on. No issues at ISO 200 and lower. Left to right in the attachment is original, replacement #1 and replacement #2. Screenshots are from #2. Guessing this is as good as it's going to get.

Dose any one know how much it will cost to fix this issue at phone repairer in Australia. Not under warranty and what part of the phone needs fixing. I would like to give them as much info as possible so they don't start trouble shootng with all the stuff I have tried already.
Thank you
