I thought 1.6 still had some bugs
maybe, but at least you wont look pink in your photos
I need some serious answers, this is really bugging me
HTC doesn't give much information about their hotfixes, they will always enhance some functions, but I miss the information about which problems are adressed in a certain hotfix.
Any way, does anyone have a fix for the pinkish glow in the camera or has experienced improved whitebalance after installing the hotfix?

I did the fix and I still have some pinkish tones when i take pictures.
Examples :

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Although it may add a rather interesting effect to the picture, i'd like the white balance to be corrected ..
so as OP mentioned, is there any real fix for this issue ?

Hey I mentioned the whitebalance for you as key to your problem just wanted to help ..
To me it looks like the whitebalance correction is overdone. Setting different whitebalance types makes the pictures too pink, too purple, too blue, and too yellow. I'd like a manual whitebalance or a whitebalance which can be locked. Anyway, I sent an email to HTC regarding this issue, keep you updated on their answer

Yes, even after I've made an upgrade to 1.61 ROM version, I still had this pink color, but it is usually happen only under low light conditions.
To fix it you may just change the camera correction parameters.
Go to camera Setup -> Advanced-> Image Properties (page 3)
and change all three default image correction parameters:
Contrast, Saturation and Sharpness from +3 to +2
It helps to reduce the pink effect under the low light conditions.

I was using the settings suggested in the high quality photos thread here, I tried it with your settings and I must admit, I did notice a reasonable improvement, thanks but none the less, we shouldnt have to have problems with it at all, for a £500 phone you would atleast expect it to be able to take phots and send sms's correctly -_-

Guys,
my "galaxy s" has problem on the screen, I noticed that it becomes more evident only in a few programs / screens.
When I take a screenshot of the screen and send it to a computer or other phone the picture is normal.
I think the image is being "generated" correctly, but not being "displayed" correctly on the screen.
As an example I posted a screenshot taken of "sound recorder app", and
immediately below is a picture that I took with a camera to show how I am
seeing the image on the screen.
If you have any idea whats happening because I dont want to have to leave at service center and whait for days without the phone.
any ideas?

The screen or the display died less than a month after the problem started, left at samsung service repair office to change the display or the handset

Mine does the same...
Let´s digg the web and find out what´s happening.
If you find something please remember to contact me.
That's new and I doubt its software related - reflash with stock rom and if it doesn't help - send to service for replacement (or fix).
HTH
Something like this happened to my old phone (not galaxy) as it overheated
never happens to me, i think its a software issue.
I flashed it whith different roms, voodoo kernel and the result is always the same.
I dont want to believe that it's a hardware issue, but at this point I'm losing my hope.
Looks like voodoo kernel
Either that or the superamoled screen has deteriorated.
My screen has burn in of the battery clock and wifi icons. Sucks.

In some kernels (example SpeedMod K13B), there are options for color tweaking in the Recovery Menu.Try disabling those if you are using such kernels.

I think that I can't apply this kernel (SpeedMod K13B) to the brazilian model I9000B, but as "theos0o" said it didn't solved the problem.
I don't really think it's faulty screens.
It's just a weakness of (current?) AMOLED technology.

Hi friends.... all fine?
i have a problem with my Desire hd .... a display problem... i have the AUO display
When I turn the screen (I remove him from stanndby) appears for a moment a vertical strip. Then he goes immediately away
this occurs only when the brightness of the display isn't set at minimum.. if the brightness is set to maximum or minimum it happens ...if the brightness set at minimum it will NOT happen
here is the video .. so you can look what is the problem
look the video
i have the original rom froyo 2.2 ... software 1.32 ... and i have make a format ... now i don't know what to do...
help me please... and sorry for my bad english
sorry, I can't help you with your problem, but in my opinion that looks like a hardware defect. I'd bring it in for a repair simply to prevent this issue from turning into something worse.
On another topic: to improve visibility of stuff like that, you should set your camera to manual exposure. Also, y did you film your phone, play that video on your computer and then film your computer screen?

are you sure it doesn't happen or could it be that it happens, you just can't see it (as the line would be darker or maybe some other effect that delays the backlight-on until the line already disappeared, or ...)?
Another way to eliminiate a software problem: just turn your phone off and back on, does the vertical line appear or not? (at that time there should'nt be a lot of software loaded that could mess with this)

when the display light is on minimum it does not happen... i'm sure... nothing... zero...
but when i turn on the phone it happen... grrrrrrr... so it's not a software problem... it happens not when you turn on the display .... but when the cell raises the brightness...

what do you mean by that? Does the line appear when you set the screen brightness to minimum and turn it up afterwards? (so basically slide the brightness-selector from min to max and back)

no no ... I think the problem is related to the fact that it is caused when the cell has to raise the brightness as I have set this
if I put the brightness to a minimum the display does not give that problem powering up
so i think that the brightness case the problem and not the switching on
any supportfor me please?
i think i have to go in htc/support
beacuse i have make flash... change radio... change kernel... change rom ... and the problem persist
Simply run the 1.32 RUU, then root it and do radio S-ON (IF you have it now, otherwise there's no need to do that), then unroot it.
Now your phone is completely stock and ready to be sent to HTC

thank's bro..
So my screen has a yellow hue like many of you had (not really noticeable unless you view an all white page against something white in the background). I don't think this is a screen defect, because all screen/monitor/tv will come with a universal preset setting, but not all panels are the same, so while this setting will look good on a certain batch, it will look slightly off on another batch. So to test it out, I downloaded Filter Your Screen from Google Play to adjust the screen setting.
I use this as my setting:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Applied the filter, and the yellow hue is gone from the screen. Sorry I don't have another camera to capture the before and after screen, but you can try it out for yourself.
white looks alot better now. thanks.
Nice so no more yellow tint! Here comes the blue tint!

works really well just tried it, its the best I have had the screen look so far. Im not worried about the yellow tint thing anymore now.
I don't like having apps running in the background, but it worked for me too. But now I will remove it
Haven't tried with this app yet, but other screenfilters introduce a bug where you can not manually install apk's anymore as they make it impossible to press the 'Install' button (very weird bug, in the installer/framework apperantly).
I'll chekc with this one as well, just something to keep in mind if you stumble upon this issue
Does seem to help for me as well, but believe this was also mentioned in combination with another screen filter app already

I have tried the other app and I like this one a lot better the colours seem to be right the other one you end up with a bit more blue tinge or not quite getting rid of the yellow tinge. This app seems to get the closest of having good colours for me anyway
just want to tell you guys again, that my screen was fine after resetting to factory settings. I know setting up a device again can be a pain in the *** but to me it was worth it. maybe it also works for you, so you don't need any additional apps
my XZ1 gets a better grey level with OP settings
but we have to work on the light colors, closer to the white, because they get a little bit blue than corresponding real ones

Only Vodafone CDA's were updated... and the update itself is only incremental.
Unless CE1 is updated too and there is no serious changelog, there is no need to excite and update the phone. It's my opinion

Well first every picture is showed in a little circle, but (seconds) later it wil show "fullscreen"... Maybe it has something to do with the full (quality) pictures having to be cached before they are shown?

It's not a bug.
Low-res pictures are shown as small circles... I assume Sony did that so these pictures doesn't look ugly.
I also liked the previous function but I had to get used to these circles or... update the photos as hi-res pictures are shown correctly
I know how it works with low res pictures and high res pictures, I'm saying that even the high res pictures after a while (maybe after some reboot) turnout into low res pictures... it wasn't like this 2 updates ago, now for me doesn't work, if I downgrade... everything works fine.
IMHO is a minor bug

Oh, ok... that's clear for me now! So you are right, that IS a minor bug. Unfortunately I don't have such problem, every contact picture is showed as it should, there are no "self-conversions" from fullscreen to small circle, and also I have no little circles as I already updated every contact with proper picture. The circles I had were only a result of crappy facebook pictures importing.

Get a hi-res photo of your the person you want to edit a contact of (that's pretty obvious ), enter the edit mode and just add a photo to that contact by tapping that small square-ish thing on the top left.

Excuse me, what's that problem?? The only one problem I got with brightness is that screen will suddenly bighter then go to dim (before 5 seconds of sleep timer).

Hello all, after getting my LG G4 yesterday I have noticed the screen on my unit exhibits a yellowish tint, especially whites look too yellow for my liking. Now, because of Boot-gate I don't want to root it this early just in case ( although I have a 607 serial number so chances of that happening are significantly smaller.)
So I researched some fixes, tested some apps and came to the conclusion that this app: [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.quickdoc.screenbalance[/URL] is the best solution if you are not rooted.
Because, unlike all other apps, it is not an overlay but rather uses the built-in accessibility service baked into android, it is much more accurate, is system wide ( so yes, the virtual buttons as well!) and is more energy efficient.
Now the problem is that functionality is pretty limited if you are not on the pro version. By any means , use ''your way'' to get the app because I love to support devs but asking 3 euros is just too much for a very simple app. Please support the developer however because without him we would not have had this amazing solution
My settings are as follows: (Please note that the screenshots are not INDICATIVE of the real thing, in real life it is much less blue.)

Feel free to post your configuration as this is still not perfect, I would love to see them and try them out to come to that perfectly calibrated white balance
Tips and tricks: Use the LG G4's feature to pin the app, this way the app will stay even when you clear all
... ( add suggestions I will add them)

-When taking a screenshot pictures come out to a more blue/red color than they appear on screen
My screen was green with JDI panel
I set my screen like my brother's Xperia Z2 because I like the colors of it. My settings are here.
Midnight
Strength 50%
Brightness 100%
Contrast 100%

Tried it and because I have a yellow tinted screen it hasn't quite worked for me obviously. But yes indeed the xperia phones have a nice calibration on them. Funny because my reference point was my sister's Z3 on vivid mode.
Thank you for the post OP. I also bought G4 Dual sim variant few days back, and found my phone's display has reddish/pinkish tint, which is more visible on white background and in low brightness.
I have installed the app u mentioned, and it is so far working good. I still haven't found thr ebst setrings for red tint, trying out different ones, but the one i m using right now is (see screenshot below)

My pleasure. To quickly respond to the question you asked me about the RGB values, the presets (midnight etc.) are actually values that are being composed using the RGB sliders. Using the RGB sliders will give you more control and will potentially allow you to calibrate the display to almost perfect (basically as good as the panel can be so don't expect any miracles).
However this will take a lot of time so I'll just stick with the presets for now.

Have u noticed some stuttering and lag with this app enabled? Or this app has nothing to do with lags etc. Like i notice some stuttering while scrolling in apps like Twitter, fb etc. And even scrolling through recent apps, it stutters/lags at times.

The only issues I know of are
- When taking a screenshot the value is calculated over the original value rather than the value you actually see on-screen. This results in a blueish/yellowish/reddish picture.
- When an app wants to be granted a permission the app needs to be paused( I do not now if this is because of safety reasons imposed by google or if it's because of the dev.)

I think this has to do with the animation scale LG sets as default. Enable developer options and set all to ×1.0
