Weird camera colour balance?

Xeon if you install a new rom try a hard reset after to flush phone properly.

Err.. In a roundabout fashion, I think that's what I mentioned in post 977 above Gavin.

I usually hard reset twice, old habit

So you did I must be suffering case withdrawal but good news. Postman arrived a few minutes ago for the first time in nearly a week and I now have the Brando Shopping leather flip case. I will write some reviews tomorrow.

Now I'm really dissapointed.

I was planning on purchasing HD2 this week and although the camera isn't a main feature I'm looking on the phone I am not willing to shell 550 EURO for a phone that has a defective camera.

That stuff just cannot happen to somebody as big as HTC. Too bad..

Has anybody any other alternative to suggest, something as powerfull as HD2? It doesn't need to be a HTC device..

Thanks!

Since the Hot Fix and other tweaks the vast majority of the problem has been rectified.
Sure, it's still there but not as bad now as on certain other large selling phones.

From my knowing they just covered the problem with some smart image correction settings. Same cannot be said for motion capture where the said algorighm would most likely slow down the capture and result in dropped frames at the highest settings and that's probabbly the reason why the defect is still visible on video captures ie the patch doesn't fix video capture.

It is an apparent hardware issue and HTC should act responsibly and offer a free camera replacement program for all devices concerned and not try to patch up things with some correction algorithms. That is really lame and cheap. Shame on you HTC!!!

Many thanks for you guys that brought up this problem because really no-one should pay premium $$$ for a device with a defective camera, it is just not acceptable!

This issue is not limited to HTC, I have an Acer Liquid (similar hardware as Nexus One) and have the pink center all along Android 1.6, 2.1, and now 2.2. turning down the color saturation or using manual white balance makes it slightly better, but it's still not as clean color as a normal digital camera.

Here you and I put my problem.
I ordered a new camera via ebay and I replaced it but the problem remained the same.
The same problem is with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Phone 7.5
Please give me advice what else to try.
