Hi I just put the My4g next to my iPhone 4 and Galaxy tab and on all 3 I went to Google.com and compare the screens all 3 look different My4g has yellow tint iPhone 4 has a pure white and galaxy tab has blue tint. Did anyone compared? Now mytouch broke my heart and I m thinking of selling it. And I bought it yesterday.

i just compared to my ipad and both are pure white. Yours might be defective. Go exhange it at a tmobile store and make sure you insist that you want an exchange because you only bought it a day ago. If you push and they are dicks (some dont want to exchange because of limited stock), just call and do a warrenty echange
Yup mine is super crisp, it looked great out the box, bit even sweeter with this desire HD Rom...

Your Mytouch has a defective screen. Because mine is clear as day

Hm... not sure if it's the screen technology but I compared my screen to the vibrant and iPhone 4's as well. The vibrant has a really blue tint, the iPhone looks white I guess... every so slightly blue tint, and the mt4g has a slightly warmer tint than the iPhone. Not sure if it's that the iPhone screen is a tad blue, or the mt4g is a tad yellow... either way I don't really mind because I won't be holding them next to each other and it looks fine by itself.
you definitely have a problem with yours. call for a replacement.
after reading your post I decided to re-compare my g2 screen to my mt4g, and the whites on the mt4g are way better than on the g2.
the g2 seems to have the yellow tint you are talking about, when comparing to the mt4g.
a lot of it has to do with brightness levels too, so you might wanna take that into considration.
funny thing is I am considering returning the mtg4 and keeping the g2, since images are a lot crispier on it... funny... the colors do look better on the g2 when watching videos or playing games.
wonder if there's a way to manage colors on these phones.
Please post questions in Q&A section.
My MT4G is pretty warm as well. Whites are a tad yellow/amber compared to my wife's Vibrant which looks greenish/blue. See if you can compare yours to another one in the store, you can't really compare the color temp to a different manufacturer or model, I don't think they bother doing any color calibration on these things.
I just sold my mytouch 4g and I'm heappy to be back to my vibrant beautiful screen and speakers.

There's differen't screens being used in the Mytouch 4G's. One that looks on par in color/contrast ratio as the G2 and another that is very washed out and has terrible viewing angles.
I've had 4 differen't MT4G's
My first one had a great screen, my 2nd one looked washed out. brought it back...got another washed out one. went back a few days later with my friend who has a good one so we could compare and I got another good one. Don't know if it's coincidence, but his good one is a Plum MT4G. I had them open 6 differen't black ones and they were all washed out. I finally said, "Let me try a Plum one" and it had a good screen. But, My original one that had a good screen was black.
The reason I say it's on par with the G2 is I had the G2 right before this phone. (for a week and a half).
Easiest way to tell the difference is, turn the phone off angle a bit...the good screens shouldn't really wash out unless it's at an extreme angle. The bad ones seem to wash out unless you're looking at it DEAD ON. Also you'll notice richer colors and warmer color over all with the good screen. like in "settings" the grey bar at the top should be Grey...the bad screens it looks periwinkle.

easier way to tell if you have the higher contrast screen vs. the washed out screen.
Under settings, there is a Grey bar at the top that says "settings" in white.
That Grey bar should be grey, not periwinkle.
Click the Images below to compare with your phone. If yours is looking more Grey congrats you have the good screen.
If yours is looking more periwinkle...too bad, so sad.
I'd like to add that the Grey is nearly identicle to my phones when i held it up. The periwinkle swatch is a tad darker than the bad screens. But you should have no hint of periwinkle what-so-ever. Also this is tested using the "auto" brightness setting.

Has anyone noticed a difference in weight between the gray and white version? I swapped my white this morning (which ive been playing with since release) for the gray, and for some reason the gray feels heavier.
Maybe just placebo...and i probably wouldnt exchange it if it were a little heavier. the gray feels and looks like a more premium product in my opinion.
Good to join the community.
Colour is colour..no difference.
I noticed I couldn't lift the white backed one as high... Probably because it was so ugly I felt ashamed somebody might see it.
The grey one is definitely easier to hold.... atleast for vanity's sake.
Hey guys, I am struggling to decide on which color to import. I have traditionally always had black phones, but the white body in screenshots at least looks really good.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to going white vs. black with the Z3c?
I've always had black phones too. I bought a used white moto x a couple months back. I love it more and more every day. I definitely getting the white z3c. The black one just looks boring.
I went for the white one. Have had several black phones and wanted a change. Would have done the red / orange model but the black bezel looks tacky to me.
I did white too. Should shoe fewer fingerprints than black.

I went for Black - looks more professional. I like keeping my phones in cases anyway though
I went for black, never had a white phone, although I do have a niggling feeling perhaps I should have tried white, it does look good.
I ordered the white one. I changed it to the red one awhile later. I saw a video of the black one and it looks really classy to me so I changed my order to black :laugh:
I originally wanted the mandarin red, then saw some videos of the mint green and thought that would be really cool, but unfortunately, the green won't be available unlocked for some time yet. After hearing more testimonials about the red and how brilliant it was, I'm convinced it's the right choice. Basically, I wanted anything other than black and white because as safe, classy, and sleek as those choices are, I find them to be rather bland. If I had to choose though, I'd go with white, only because most of my devices have always been black and I wanted something different.
I had a Z1c in black for quite sometimes and bought my brother the Z1c in white and gotta say the white does looks really good. But currently can not really say much about the z3c as it is not available yet in Australia. The best way would have to go and look for yourself which one would suit your taste better. But i would say the white looks good on picture. The only that might be a concern that is the seal around the screen is white as well, just do not know would it be stain over time

TBH I don't get your question at all, since it's purely opinion based.
If there would be a technical difference based on the color, most people would get the color that had the technical upper hand.
You don't ask your friends either if you should have a blonde/brunette girlfriend/boyfriend, since it's all just based on taste.:angel:
You are absolutely right but you have to understand that we are all really excited about this phone and we just discuss all kinds of bul**** about it until the delivery agent rings the doorbell and leaves the white box in our hands...

confused i am using the hox white, and looks really cool. Perhaps i might try the black this time, It will also match with my sony xb90ex earphones
I prefer black because I don't like how the sensor cutout, speaker, and camera lens standout on white.
If I could get black front and white back like my Dev moto x, that would be awesome. I guess I can still do that with a white skin for the back.

Not necessarily. White will show less fingerprints, but might discolor over time. There are a few objective traits each color exhibit, and since I feel torn between the two aesthetically, I wanted to discuss some objective reasons one color might benefit over the other.

The white is covered in glass on both sides so why would it discolor?

it won`t.
At least it didn`t on my white Z.
I think another disadvantage of a white one would be the white front panel making the display appear darker, I think in sunny weather the white could actually "blind" you a little, making the screen a tad more difficult to read.
I've occasionally had overheating problems with sunlight coming in through a car window. White might be helpful.

Look at the lastest pic. The black one looks a little thicker. Also different material. Honestly I like the black one better. Has some moto x influence.
I would think three versions though. Unless that black one has a case around it which would be strange for a press shot. Because this and this show the black one with a kevlar finish all around the back rather than the edge.
I would hope that the red one would come with that black one's finish though because that chain-like finish looks sick.
OMG, want this phone in Europe!

Yeah, I'm thinking the chain link looking one is the maxx version. And the Kevlar one is the normal turbo. Just a guess. I don't think there's going to be a mini though.

Actually that would make sense. Everyone is saying that there would be no Maxx, but then the finishes on the back don't really make much sense. However I don't like the plastic/MGF frame around the Kevlar finish so I hope it's just a case in the end, or atleast the non-Maxx edition. The finish looks great, but it should go all the way around.

test
While that odd looking "third" version of the phone raises questions, i highly doubt there will be a "Maxx" version of this phone...
What size battery are they going to put in it? The turbo already has a 3900...
That, and we would have already heard about it...it would have passed through the FCC...the training materials would be out there...
Yeah I'm not really sure how to look at it. It'd be an interesting option if it was though haha. Unless they offer it in three finishes. Wasn't last year's or the year before offered in three colors? Red, white. and black I think.
I'm just curious on what the red one will look like. The Droid Maxx is in a deep dark red, whereas the photos of the Droid Turbo look like a bright-vibrant red (looks much better to me). But to be honest, I will probably get whatever is in stock. If I have the choice....I'm thinking red might be my preference.

i don't think there will be 2 versions, and i don't think xplay will be the pure edition of the turbo, 5.2inch screen is not big enough for a xplay size phone
The one thing I'm most interested in is how the seemingly different "finishes" feel to the touch...
The Droid Ultra was pretty slippery to the touch...while the Droid Maxx had a very soft, grippy texture to its back...
I'm loving the red color for the Turbo...hoping it doesn't have the same finish as the Ultra did..

I'm intrested in the textures of the finishes as well. The first leaked pictures had red and black models looking the same with a sort of woven, but solid back with the "metalized glass" or something.
The newest leaked photo appears to show the same type of back on the red model, but the black one almost appears to have a woven cloth type material on the back. I think I like the look of the black one as far as textures go, but I'll have to see the various options and how they feel first. I had soft touch on my Droid X and loved it. The kevlar/carbon fiber back on my Razr Maxx was nice, had air bubbles under it sometimes and it didn't feel solid or flat all the time.
I have woven black on the back of my Moto X 2013 and like it, but would prefer something more like soft touch if possible.

Yeah...its weird. I guess we will find out on the 28th...
The original leak, that showed the black back plate looks EXACTLY like the material on the current Droid Maxx...which is AWESOME...soft to the touch..nice and grippy..but still has the woven Kevlar...
Later leaks worried me slightly as they look more like the woven back of the Droid Ultra which is a harder, more glossy material...and not even close to as nice to hold...
The LATEST leak is all over the place...the red looks more like the Droid Maxx soft material...bit the black literally looks like it is made out of some sort of cloth which is bizarre
Is it at all possible that there is another model out there? The reason I ask is, both the front facing and red models in the picture are not upright. Any diagonal phone would be slightly shorter than the same phone upright. However, the chainlink finished one is upright and in the picture, it's the same height as the front facing one. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but there could be a smaller version of it in the coming future after release date right? I know that the Razr HD and Razr M didn't release at the same time either.
Then again it could just be like that for display purposes.
Maybe they are going to have a Droid Turbo and a Turbo Maxx.
agreed

Absolutely my concern too. It's darn near my ONLY concern, other than overall size... I've got to pocket this and the new Moto X without that stupid security thing in the verizon stores attached to it. If it's not simply "too big" for me, and the back is "grippy" enough that in combination it feels easy enough to hold and use, this is my next phone.
So Droid Life tweeted a rumored pricing for it. I guess they have a source. So I'm assuming this means one version of the phone, but with three different finishes on the same model?

Wanted to know how you liked it? I have the white one but I've had like 4 white phones in a row and was thinking of trading for a black. I'll be putting a skin on it so not worried about fingerprints. Let me know how you like it otherwise compared to white.
Went from an old white Z1 compact to a black X compact myself. Not much to say about it though lol. It's black and looks good. The only issue is that it's a fingerprint magnet. But if your putting a clear or colored skin on it that pretty much solves the problem. Only other thing I can think of to say is it's kind of an off black. Basically at times in the light it can look like an extremely dark navy blue at times which is kinda cool.
Have the black. In direct sunlight it looks more dark blue but in household lighting it looks black. Pretty slick looking. I really wish they would have made a yellow like the Z5C. I kinda felt like owning an ostentatious phone this time.
I have tried both and I can say that white version is a lot nicer in my opinion
you wont see any fingerprint or scratch easily and also the nicely curved back looks elegant on white and blue versions...
