A hardware fault causes HTC HD2 *pink* camera issues, confirmed

23 November, 2009
We've seen quite a few of our camera samples taken with HTC HD2 getting an annoying pinkish tint in the center. It seems we're not alone and if you're planning into getting one of those you'd better read this...

          Sorry, it's just that I can't support those iPhone fanboys anymore. I'm a customer service agent and having to deal with people that can't use that thing just gets into my nerves.

You love your phone which is ok, but you are obssesed which is dangerous. You are free to brag about iPhone but on place for it, doing this in others product area is immature at 1st if insulting, and it is insulting by mocking others the way you tried, maybe if you change your stand and apology to others you get apologies back, you have nothing to lose but a lot to gain. So it's up to you.

              [deleted post]Imagine yourself that you are superstar and some of your haters yalles from far with so abusive words. What will you do? Yalle back? An superstar caring about lower than you? If you would do so, then you are nothing different than they are. Now, you aren't superstar as others are not aswell, but point is to respect yourself and respect others from your group by simply ignoring those bellow you or being kind and polite but calm and put yourself higher. That guy, a big iPhone boy is not guilty cause Apple washed him away. If he would listen my advice he would get rid of those fists snaping. And it applies generally, not just to you, but to me, him and everyone else. Back to that example. If say it superstar kill every hater, we would have mass murder on our planet, I would personaly need to sweep millions that envy me, hate me, or just misunderstand me, so the best solution is self controll and gaining mind controll of others by putting others on your side. That is my strategy. That's why I'm succesful in life, but everyone is free to follow his/her own will.

                    The iPhone 3gs is nice in many ways, but the HD2 is better. Larger screen, faster processor, better looking UI (the iPhone UI is so boring, it is just all your apps together on multiple pages..), more RAM for smooth multiple tasking, Which the iPhone can not even do. Even though the HD2 has WM, it is better.

                    And before the blind iPhone fans start talking stupid again, let me help you; yes you have an AppStore. Yes it has 100.000 apps. But I only need like 10. How do I know? I have had an iPod touch for a long time, I am even typing this on it. And I relized myself I only use under 10 Apps....

                    NUFF SAID.

                      [deleted post]First, check your grammar please, because it's hard to understand you.

                      Second, nothing personal, it's just that I hate Apple fanboys and all the BS they bark when a new smartphone is released, like what you just said.

                      Third, yes, it's good that Apple takes care of the iPhone with all those updates, but the hardware itself is already outdated.

                      So stop all that BS, keep playing with you iGirlfriend and let others enjoy their own phones.

                          [deleted post]Who mentioned iPhone? Your so loved phone is sooo outdated nowadays. Yes it's easy to use and it got a lot of apps, but it's specs doesn't compare to the phones that are actually released.

                          Enjoy your marriage with your iPhone, let's hope your iPhone minis will grow healthy and not as stupid as you.

                            My guess: nothing to worry about. HTC is quite unexperienced with camera modules; they botched the post processing. Easy to fix in software. NICE SIDE EFFECT: prices will be down sooner =-)

                              I bought a Nokia 3720 yesterday and it had exactly the same problem. I went back to the store and replaced it with a new one but when testing the new handset I get the same problem. Tomorrow I will go back again to test a third one. If they all are from the same batch I will probably get the same result. Too bad, nice phone otherwise.

                                        Forgot to mention that my life changed when I got my HD2. It is an enourmous step forward. I have gone from HTC Cruise to HTC Touch Pro and at the time though that i had a cool phone even compared to the Iphone. No matter how happy you are with your current WM phone, you will drop it like a bad habbit as soon as you get the HD2.

                                        But actualy no HTC device can match the HD2 and / or the Iphone (which my girlfriend has aquired recently). Amazing that it toke the competition almost 2 years to match the Iphone.

                                        No i think it's time to thank Apple for the inspiration and HTC for their (copying) efforts / achievement: I love the HD2
