What did theyend up doing. Mine is pink to unlocked bootloader

its not a defect. dont send back the phone, its obvious now its jsut how the camera is. I dont really care that much (in fact i dont care at all) because im not a big camera person and when I do take a picture with my phone im not going to expect studio quality anyway.

Released a hot fix since they said it was a software issue...
Seems now it's not
HD2 issue: http://www.gsmarena.com/a_hardware_fault_causes_htc_hd2_*pink*_camera_issues_confirmed-news-1276.php

Try turning off auto white balance.

No change.

lol i just noticed on engadget review, in the photos they took with the nexus one they have the same pink tint towards the middle

so everyone's nexus is having this issue?

So the N1 has pink eye?
I haven't received mine yet...we'll see here shortly...

The hot fix fixed my HD2, i took several photos of white walls and it had completely gone but it was VERY clear before the fix.

Mine does it as well

Someone tell Google and HTC, lol... No seriously..do it.

I just submitted a support ticket to google. I suggest you guys do the same. I linked this thread in the ticket.

Good man.. I'll do the same when I get my phone, lol...

it seems like a low light issue, not as noticeable with bright lighting.
Could just be the camera straining the ISO to a point where it makes the colors get weird. hopefully they can hot fix it

My HD2 did it in bright light, but the hotfix removed the issue.

White Nexus S hands on

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...e-phones/hands-on-white-google-nexus-s-929694
All of those of you that wanted an upgraded Google Nexus S - your wish has been granted, if you consider a new colour an upgrade.
TechRadar got a little look at the new handset on test, and if you're in the market for something different when it comes to a new mobile, then the White Nexus S will at least set you apart.
First impressions make it feel like all Google and Samsung have done is chuck a while plastic cover on the back of the phone, but thankfully it's a little more than that.
Firstly, the whole inside of the phone is now white when you pop the cover off, as well as the extraneous buttons - and these are the things that are actually different on view when you consider the differences between the white and black version.
Sat side by side, you probably wouldn't notice the difference between the two phones from the front, with the same 4-inch Super AMOLED screen on offer. We have no idea why the front isn't also white - we can only assume this messes with the colour perception in some way, as the dual tone looks odd.
We put the black plastic cover on the back of the white Nexus S (there's not a lot else you can do when taking pictures of a new cover) so you can see the difference.
Another key difference, and in our eyes an upgrade, is the back is no longer glossy plastic but a slightly mottled exterior making it easier to hold.
Other than that, the two phones are identical. there's no official White Google Nexus S UK release date, but expect to see the phone sometime in April.
It should be landing on the same £30 a month (ish) tariff as its black brethren on Vodafone - at least now you can decide which version suits you better.

Ok samsung needs to make a non glossy black battery cover ASAP!!!

+1 to SupaDupaFly24!!!

I think the phone looks a bit odd because the front is still just black.
The black cover on the white phone looks cool though.

All they did was change the back? not the front or the bezel?
The non glossy back is a great idea though.
When will they make black battery covers like that?

seriously waiting for the answer

Looks nice enough but i wouldn't want one over my black one, what i would love though is a nice silver chrome plated GS2 that would be seriously smart.

Looks like the battery cover is smooth doesnt have the same texture as the black one. Also, the official Samsung 2000mah battery only come in black as of now

The white works a lot better for it IMO.

a very very bright white, alot brighter than my black gs2's
and yep the back is super smooth white.

button lights.... very bright indeed

As nice as it may look, white looks absolutely horrendous to me. No offence.

Hmmm i would have loved it if they made them blink with a blue backlight, but it's still nice. At least the back cover won't become grayish when the finishing will be worn, at a guess...my black one suffers from that a little, and take into account that my phone lives in a full body case 90% of the time

I'm lookin'....and i'm like'in

No offence but i prefer black, simply because the screen and proximity and camera looks odd on a white front. Looks more "out there" where as black looks stealth...

I think it's too early to make such assumptions, you have no idea how it would wear, if it wears at all

Should I install the ota

Just got my n4 replacement. This one obviously doesn't have the ota installed. Question is, should I install the ota? Reason I ask is well, see for yourself.

Hint: the one on the right is the new one.

What was wrong with the first one?

Maybe its because I'm looking on my phone, but I don't really see a difference. The one on the left seems a bit brighter though.

No, don't. I mean who buys a nexus phone to OTA from Google?
That's right. No body.
This thread is promising.

why not? it fixed bugs.

Man you guys crack me up. The left one has the updates and thus the colors are washed out. Just forget I even asked lol. *puts flame suit on*

Now that you point it out, yes it is quite noticeable.
However, what is the point in asking us if you should update? You clearly have both versions right in front of you. Which one do you like more? It's as simple as that...

Interesting. I see the difference. The Verge complained about washed out colours on the nexus 4 in their review but I have seen no difference between the n4 and the gnex personally. Cant wait for custom kernels to allow for tweaking the colours!

Just was wondering if their were more underpinnings to the OTA's then just the december tweak. Anyways, I updated, and boom!, washed out. *sigh*

I have the 4.2.1 and my colors are not at all washed out

Don't know why you're comparing the screens of two different phones. Not all screens look alike

^ Agree. LCD panel at this price is not known, or bought, for color reproducibility.
@OP: If you could kindly make a back up, do OTA, then restore back to see what happens, human knowledge would be vastly expanded

yes, do that then we know its cause of software

I did notice my previous phone had washed out colors. The replacement had deeper colors and I'm much satisfied

Post photos of your phone

For those who wait, like me, I thought it would be fun to see the phones of the lucky ones.
Be it a unicorn or a nice cloudy blue, share with us the Moto goodness you've got.

What's the point? They literally are identical. Redditors like posting frivolous photo posts.

why would you do this? just go on G+ and you can see person after person post pics of the box when it arrives. Mindless and pointless. We all know what the phone and box looks like.

Fair enough. Just thought it would be fun.

Looking at the way the light plays on the grain of the wood, and the cutout at the camera, I would say its applied to the case. Willing to be proven wrong though. And the corner cuts on a ringke slim extend further into the case, do they not?

For comparison.

You're correct, I looked at it and assumed the white was the silver of the X n the Nexus logo because my brightness on my phone was rather low. That application looks great for or being in a case.
