Screen extreamly white/faded. UPDATED: included video

I saw another post from gamestop but I received mine from play store. And mine seems to be an extreamly bad case: see the picture. Barely useable since its so white. Anyone seen this problem / have any ideas? Also, has anyone had to get a replacement from the play store and have any information about it? Do you get a brand new one?
Edit: For everyone who think i edited it..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NkRSP2aKQI&feature=youtu.be

****.......yer your gonna want to return that.

That is probably just from the camera moving while taking the picture. I've seen at least one other user with a screen that bad. So it may be real.
Mine was looked white and faded at first, however nothing remotely that bad. After about 3 days it seemed to get better. Though it seems most times when I play a video it gets white and faded again, but goes away a few seconds after leaving the video app.
But something that bad, I'm not sure if that'll look normal after a few days or not.

Its really ****ed. I havent even moved it out of my room. worked perfectly for the first week then this randomly happened.
I dont know why it looks so bright, it was only on 50% but persists no matter what brightness

Screen is good compared to what? My screen has awful gamma

Don't know if its from being used to my galaxy nexus or what but the screen is not impressive at all

I really dont know why the screen doesnt line up, maybe i was holding it at an angle or something, but its legit just watch the vid

I wonder what would happen if you play a video, like the Transformers movie. My screen gets worse after playing videos, but then clears up (though never really looks completely good).

Same thing happens regardless of what im doing. After like 5 minutes of staying on it will only half as bad, but whenever i turn the screen off for more than 2 minutes it goes back to this

So same thing just started affecting me today. First let me start out that I've had 0 issues until today. Went to try one of the root kits and got my N7 rooted updated SU and restarted now its washed out just like whats shown by OP. Could be coincidence who knows. Is this a common defect that takes time to occur?

I bought mine on Monday from office depot. It was great until Thursday morning when it started this exact problem. I'm going back to office depot to exchange it tomorrow. My mom bought one from the Google play store and she hasn't had any of these problems.

That is defective. Exchange it.

Same problem here. It was fine since I got it and now the screen is all washed out.

search for the thread of "screen burn in + washed out", you will find more information on RMA there. I had the same issue and received my replacement in 4 days. the left side of the screen is still a bit lifted on the new one, but that is nothing compared to white out screen.

NEXUS 4 Camera Issue.. Same as Iphone5

Looks like I might be canceling my orderdue to the purple glaze effect which the Iphone5 had. As camera is a important aspecr for me.

Update: yup. You guys are right. Its just a phone. And no. I dont take pictures of my food. Lol. I was expecting too much for a 300 dollar device. And no phone is perfect in every way. I do have a dslr, but I wont be carrying that with me 24/7. So sometimes you have to use your phone to freeze that perfect moment.
I was not trying to convince anybody to not get the phone. I was simply trying to get the fact out in case it does bother anyone.
My nexus will be arriving in a few days.

So one image of bright lights means it's a problem huh? Jesus...

Your purchase or lack thereof will be sorely missed.

This thing isn't an issue. I currently have the iPhone 5 on my sprint account and the pictures come out great with rarely any purple haze. To each his own but to not buy a phone because of this slight issue is crazy.

You should at least try it. If you just rely on review every time, you won't but anything. I was afraid that this phone wouldn't be a real upgrade (i had a galaxy nexus). But the hardware is really good and the reactivity of the device is just amazing.
I would consider give it a try, you can always send it back if you want to and get a refund.

I just tries taking a similar picture. I don't get that :/ there's just a little purple bit next to the light on the top. Look at the attachment.

Finding a reason to hate the phone because you couldn't get one? Kinda bitter...

All phone cameras get this AFAIK. It's bright lights that do it. Some do it more than others, but they all do it to some degree.

I don't have that issue...but if it means that much to you, then just go buy a dedicated camera and use it.

Even reflex objective suffer some purple fringing at max aperture in direct sunlight, and some of them cost more than the n4.
I don't even know why people should bother about this, just learn to move when make a photo and don't make direct light photos...

Test
Ok...
Stare at a bright light for 1 min without blinking... do you see a purple haze? Bright lights stress optics this is nothing new use a filter.

Is it just me or is the screen much better after update?

Absolutely. Makes ya wonder why they didn't having it looking like this in the first place. lol

They bumped up the contrast for sure, I was using a modified wallpaper with higher contrast and after the update the first thing I've noticed was how oversaturated it was!!! And I thought.. Something s wrong here..!

I've just flashed the kernel for now and can notice a difference, the green in my theme looks a lot brighter.

Android 4.3

I know I am to be taken with a grain of salt, I am a corporate store technician and talked to our HTC rep today. She is saying that Sprint decided to skip 4.2.2 and go right to 4.3 with its upgrade to the HTC One. I also got to look at the red version today as well and I am going to see about trading my black one for the red. She did not give any timeframe of when the 4.3 update will come out.

They only had a mockup for me to look at so unfortunately not, but the red is like an ironman red it looks really good. I will have the actual units tomorrow in inventory we will be putting one under glass to show the color so I will play more with it then and see what the finished product looks like.

In certain conditions, some reds look orange. Look at the top of the photo of the Red One. It's bright orange.

The bottom one looks closer to the red One than the top pic. No prob man :beer:

I think that's just overexposure. It may also be a combination of white balance and overexposure. It is common with any type of digital camera to have uncommon colors. One major reason is because of the digital white balance correction.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

I don't know what you guys are say'n..That Phone is clearly pink....

The first picture is inaccurate. The second one is right.
If the problem is overexposure, then that means the tap to focus doesn't work very well. I always tap on my subject, yet I have several pictures where the reds look orange. I shouldn't have to mess around other than having to tap on my subject to get the right exposure etc.
EDIT: Whatever, it's OK.
The red One still looks sick, especially with the black accents.

I was just messing around man..The phone looks hot..But unless Sprint and HTC do something about the radio it's just another one..Thanks for the pics though.

That is because of the way the digital light meter reads the scene. Again, this is an issue that plagues even professional cameras both film and digital. This issue often crops up in difficult lighting situations with a lot of contrast. Hope this helps explain a little. Also the red one looks sweet!

If Sprint releases the Red HTC One with 4.2.2, we would already have it on ours. There's nothing different in those internals than what's on ours. They can't control the update to the device based on color. It will release with 4.1.2.

Well, some sort of workaround... Not so much a fix.
There's an app called ScreenAdjuster from the play store which allows you to adjust colors a bit, turn blue up a bit until you like the result (to about 6 or 7 I believe).

so it is a software problem not a hardware problem and there is hope for future fix by sony?

Seems to be a software issue, Mine turn yellow after the first update. Screen adjuster is a workaround in the mean time. My nexus had the same issue. Its more of a colour temperature thing. Most people seem to like a cooler look to their screen.

should i go for replacement under doa without fear of getting more defected one
or wait for update on issue?

I have this problem also. I call to sony center they already confirm is a hardware issue and I requested to change, by monday they will change for me. My opinion you better change a new device from them because the yellow hue really make you feel angry that you pay so much and you still getting this problem.

Even I had talk with customer center dey admitted it as hardware issue and guaranteed me replaced phone won't.have it.but dey stated after I get changed phone.I.wnt be able to doa it in case of.prob is.it.true?

Still got it until the new one arrives.
Update :
Is there an easy way for her to do a screen shot of the information you want ?
She was unsure where to find it.
I don't know and can't tell her. I swapped mine for the Note because they told us that the screen was that bad.
But now we know better.
I guess you want it for a reference because we got the help we need.
