This might be an obvious suggestion, but try cleaning the camera lens.

I seem to remember there being an issue with pink spots in the center of photos in some phones. I'd take it back to the store & exchange it if you're within your 2 weeks, otherwise call T-Mo & see about getting a warranty replacement.

too late to exchange? If not.. I dont know why you're still online and not in the store lol

it's too late i have had this phone for a month now,and just noticed this problem ,
been distracted with the faulty screen (vertical lines and blobs) for that issue i had to send the phone to samsung repair,
and now i have to deal with this issue,I don't even like to use this phone anymore !
so disappointed with samsung

so Does everybody think that it's a hardware problem ?
I just found out that the 1st device i got which i had to exchange because of the screen blobs had the same camera issue(pink patch at the center of the picture)while i was reviewing the pictures taken by that phone !

hehe. Me too I have the same problem.

I only notice this issue with a reflection of natural light and no flash. Are you taking the picture with flash?

That's the white wall with Auto everything, no flash under fluorescent lights.

the reddish picture is no flash with fluorescent setting for white balance.
The one with bright spot is auto everything with flash on a white wall under fluorescent lights. I think the problem is with the software tries to adjust the white balance.

Deng you I just took a picture against a white wall and I have that issue also good thing I just got the phone a week ago,

Try the miui cam.apk on your phone and see if it makes a different.

i just performed a test and think others should try this. I noticed you guys took a pic of a white background or wall so i did same thing regular lighting no flash, and aimed at the wall i also seen the pinkish spot but as i panned my phone around it would fade away then come back as i panned. so then i took a still shot with flash off and had the same result as op. then i did the same thing with flash on and no pink spot at all. so i definitely think its a lighting condition that makes our phones show this weird shade or color. more light = no pink spot. but its weird cuz it seems to only happen on lighter backgrounds like a white wall and such. because that is the only time i ever noticed this anomoly. and ive took a **** load of pics of my 1yr old boy, and girls

i honestly dont see it as a big deal as this phone takes great pics

I used the miui cam still there , idk the issues on this phone are small and idk how I really feel about it haha I've only had this phone a week so far, came from a non issue g2x wich I was lucky

I see the pink spots at the center of the pictures under the day light ,and those spots turn greenish with the florescent light at night !
I think that affect the pictures quality ,
not sure what to do

Look here: http://pocketnow.com/thought/clarification-the-pink-spot-syndrome
Also note that sometimes it's green instead of pink.
I'm much more concerned about the blobs and lines.

The key difference is this camera issue can most likely be fixed in software, but the blobs/lines is probably a hardware issue.

I'm going to ask for a warranty replacement,and see if it's gonna be issue free or not ,i know it will be a refurbished device but im done sending the phone to samsung and waiting for 2 weeks using an older device !

verizon replacement for pink/purple hue

i will check to see what kind of replacement they send me.
my current version has hboot that is still not unlocked and pink and purple hue. i might as well take the risk.
i am hoping for the lower hboot and no camera issue, wish me luck.
this post is just to show you guys what happens from using verizon.

Good luck! Last Blue one I got from VZW still had 4.2.2 and exploitable bootloader. But a nice dead pixel on the screen and jagged edges and huge ass gaps.

How in the world did you manage to get a blue one from verizon? And what do you mean by jagged edges? You mean on the body?
Huge gaps from where?

I have the blue BB version so they have replacements for them as well. The lower right hand corner has a big ass gap and you can feel the jagged edge when you run your finger along it. Also the screen and bottom grill has a big ass gap you can stand a playing card up in it trololol.

The build date for the device was back in sep 13. I don't remember when the lawsuit went through for the infringement.

All the best :good:

Use this http://219.80.249.25/IMEIQuery/IMEIQuery.aspx?ct=zh-CN and you can see your build date. The Blue HTC One's I got from Verizon were built on 9/25/13. Month later than the one I got from Best Buy. Seems the blue ones are phones set aside by the manufacturer for warranty exchanges I think.
Left one is from Verizon right is Best Buy. Bit yellowish on the screen from Verizon but people are saying that will go away as it can be attributed to the adhesive. There seems to be no difference in games and videos for coloration.

White bright spot on the screen

I've noticed a few days ago that on my G Pad a white spot has appeared on the lower left side of the screen.
I've never seen it and I'm almost sure that is not something there from day one (I would have noticed since then)
Here you can see some photos. It may seems small and hard to spot but if I scroll a page with a white background I can notice it immediately. This happens only with the white, with all the other colors I can't see it.
Do you what it is? A little damage on the screen or some problem that I can resolve with the warranty?

I don't know what it is but my first G Pad did this after about 3 months, had a refund and bought another. That is now, after 4 months use, away being repaired for the same issue. Both had 3 or 4 spots or small patches, as you say, they become obvious when you scroll a mainly white screen but are tricky to photograph.

So it seems to be something related to the LCD technology, doesn't it? Something that could happen after some usage, right?

Wow... What are you going to do? Try with the lg customer service or keep it?
Do you think that maybe a new model (or ours fixed) is going to show the same issue after some time?

I have the same issue! And it's not all: it's the second G Pad with the same issue!
I buy the first, then when I see the the problem I went to an LG service which change the old one with a new, but the new one has the same issue...plus a dead pixel

No I haven't contacted lg regarding this issue, I brought it five months ago. I think am just going to keep it as it nothing too major.

I have got the same issue. One white spot in the middle of screen and four spots on a corner. I noticed them after 3-4 months after the purchase. Frankly, I am going to wait a few weeks before contacting LG service. Maybe someone has already discussed the problem with lg customer service?

I sent my G Pad to store where I buy it. Them have sent it to an LG center.....after two months my G Pad came back with a only a firmware reset, because for LG the problem doesn't exist or it's not enough to be repaired...

I've had a similar issue and within 2 weeks the Tab came back with a new screen - without the bright spot, without thin blue line and without any lightbleeding.

My G Pad was away for this problem for about 10 days and has come back without the white spots on screen. There's no obvious sign of how they do the repair (good!) - paperwork says replacement display.
This was in the UK, it was about 4 months old and I contacted the retailer who contacted LG, who agreed the repair (I had to send photos) and arranged for a courier to take it to the repair centre. The new panel seems to be a bit pink but maybe the old one was too !

Oh well, the new, replaced display has a dead pixel too. It looks really tiny, almost as it is just one pixel, so I don't think the retailer will repair it Honestly, I won't go buy any other LG device in the future.

I don't know if I'll buy another LG product in the future, but I'll keep in my mind this bad experience...

I tried to bring my Gpad to a LG Repair Center. I hope that the defect will be resolved

let us know!
meanwhile a lamp (I think) related to illumination doesn't work anymore

screen is fried after 2 days of use

as the title states, my screen is fried after 2 days of use. I am so disappointed... :crying: i left it on the charger and noticed it was darker than usual. this as well as my battery not charging completely is causing me to really consider not bothering replacing this one and cashing out while I'm ahead

Definitely a screen burn, image burn-in during charging...
(You can clearly see the charging ring burned into the screen)
That's not a good sign... but this is the first time I've seen or heard anything about this, so most likely just a defective unit.
Definitely get a replacement before it is too late.

Someone else posted something like this a while ago he got his from Google I / O. Apparently his developed screen burn-in pretty quickly as well. I'm hoping these are just defective units and not a sign of things to come for all of us.

That looks horrible.

I decided to stick it on the charger all night and its worse (ha!) I'm glad i went through best buy. I'm going in and politely demanding a prompt replacement. its odd, the display seems to have more jagged edges on the screen icons as well as a change in brightness since this problem started.

that sucks man, considering the shortage, I hope you get a quick replacement

Turning the screen off helps charge the battery faster too, don't know why Moto decided to leave it dim...

I called Motorola, they knocked 10% off and free shipping. Best buy couldn't order through their stock system on account of scarcity. I should receive a new one within 4 weeks. I hope it's still the grey band and not the stone leather one. I added more photos of how bad the burn in was.

Yeah, that's crazy. Definitely defective!
I actually liked having the display on all night on my nightstand and using it as a clock. Never had any Ill effects, though

Seems like a defective unit or there would be a ton of people reporting this. Sorry for your loss and I hope you get a replacement soon!

i thought it looked nice as well although it bathed my room in blue light that made it hard to close my eyes.

Nope people only post when they have issues. What would be the point of everyone with no issues creating a thread to say "my watch works fine"?

i honestly don't think he had a bad unit. i think that these screens are subject to burn in just like early plasma hd screens. he already stated that he left the watch on the charger for two days with a static image. that is a recipe for burn in on screens that are susceptible to burn in. after reading this thread i turn my screen off when the phone is on the charger.

Yellowish tint on screen?

Might be being paranoid due to 2 XL screen issues but has anyone notice a yellowish tint to the screen? It almost seems like off axis is more pure white and looking directly on is a warmer white if that makes sense. Might try to take pics but not sure I can capture it.

I haven't noticed any hardware problems with the display yet, although I do have black clipping in movies.

Instead of starting a new thread I decided to post my issue here because it's screen related. I don't have any yellow hue with my screen. I unfortunately have a pinkish hue on the right side of my phone. I saw it immediately after powering up for the first time. Kinda reminds me of the S8+ fiasco. It's just in the right side and starts about the middle of the screen and heads up to the top. I called Google and they took my issue very seriously. They wanted pictures and it's a very hard thing to capture with a video or pic but they said they could see it in one of the pics I sent. They have me play some white screen YouTube video and wanted a picture while that was playing. Anyways, they took my info about the issue to some higher ups and called me back about an hour and a half later. The person I dealt with was nice but a bit pushy with getting pic results. He was concerned about some widespread issue because the phone was just released. So he said that these panels have some color shifting (ok? Already went over that) but offered to send out a new replacement. That is me basically buying another and not getting charged unless my original phone isn't returned on time. I'm very disappointed with the screen having this issue. I went through the whole blue screen last year. I had to get two replacements until I received a "good one." Anyone else having screen issues with color?
Sorry to hear about your yellowish screen issue. If you aren't happy with it I'd return it. There are a few friends of mine that have great screens

Here is what I'm noticing. Maybe that's just the way it is and it's something I've never noticed before. The funny thing is I have a Xs Max and the Pixel looks better. Interestingly enough the second picture (pure white) looks similar to the Xs max if true tone is turned off.

My display is great. Beautiful. I'm grateful too because I went through 7 2 XL's before I found one with a display I could deal with.

Adaptive brightness, if on, will turn the screen yellowish in low light conditions.
Otherwise, I didn't notice anything since I received the phone today. I've been using it all day.

Nope, mine has been fantastic. Looks great.

Going to have to go check other devices in store. Can't tell if what I'm seeing is normal without another unit to compare.

No matter what phone you get an OLED screen is a lottery to how even the whites are or the degree of hues

+1 I've seen some "comparisons" saying the 3 was warmer than the 3XL they saw. I'm opposite here. Received a 3 before launch day. Nice, cool screen (which is my preference). Phone felt way too small for me so I picked up a 3XL at Best Buy yesterday. Quite a bit warmer than the 3. Returning that one today haha.

Haha If it's noticeable straight away and takes away the enjoyment of the screen then a swap is the best way. I've had devices from Samsung, Huawei, OnePlus, Google etc and I've had bad tints or uneven whites on them all..so part of the oled game
