Thanks in advance.

Compare white color. when you switch both phone into setting or message apps you will find the differences. I bought 3 weeks ago having yellow hue problem.. still waiting for replacement. hope you won't regret like me..

Hi all, does you guys experience any slight yellow hues at the edge/corner of the phone screen?
Whenever i view a white background, i will notice yellow hues at the bottom left and right corner of the phone screen. Is it even normal?
Sorry to say I think you need to send your O2X to have it repaired... Mine's fine!

Me too! Aww man, I feel bad for you...
Edit: By the way, in the Netherlands you can get free VIP service with your O2X. Do they have that in Poland? In that case they'll replace it within 24 hours.

Nah i'm in Singapore. In Singapore, things are not as easy as the other parts of the world.
We are not allow to do a 1-to-1 exchange for ANY phones after we brought it.
We have to go to LG service center to get our phone fix...
It totally sux.

no, many of the older / refurbished models have a defective camera in them
some show purple / or other colors in low light.

for warranty, you have to check with retailer himself, & your problem is hardware related, so maybe rooting might not matter, but it is advised to unroot it before taking it back to Service Center....

good for you, mine is from UK itself, Glamour Red edition,but doesn't have any international warranty, so they won't repair mine..
Do they repair them or do they swap them for reconditioned ones?

Hi guys, I'm about to buy a second hand HTC ONE but I heard that trhe camera has a defect, purple tint.
-How can I check if it does have the defect?
-Is it something that happens over time?
-Is there anything I should know before I make this purchase?
Thank you!
Basically everything can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2465651
If it has the faulty sensor, it'll produce purple images (try covering the lens or use dark environment.

Thank you for replying, this is bad. I'm really reluctant to buy this second hand phone now. Does it happen over time or do some devices just come with it?
Depends on when it was made and probably market region. But in the thread I posted there are instructions how to check it.
I never checked mine, because it's easy to tell that I have a faulty one

Buy it from eBay. If it comes with a faulty camera you can easily get your money back.

Hi all.
Every time I go into the Camera, when I aim towards a dark object ( black clothes, dark area ) it goes purple, would anyone know why it does this?
I tried to upload a photo but it isn't letting me.
That's the common issue with the HTC One M7. I had it too, gave the phone to the service center and got it repaired under warranty. I think they changed the camera module, now my phone clicks pictures without the purple/pink colors.

Actually mine was out of warranty also. If you live in Sydney there's a store called fonebiz which my mate showed me to. Had the same issue purple tint in dark lighting so I took it to them and explained my problem. Didn't even have to show the receipt or anything just gave them my name address and picked up the phone the next day. Got a refurbished HTC which was pretty much brand new. You should definitely give them a shot, was the best service & they took it under warranty when it expired plus it was free! They have online repairs too so you can just send it away for fixing. If not look for a local store around that does it for a cheap price
Has anyone found a fix or the root cause of the purple image tint on the camera? I bought a new camera and it is worse then the original? Does the problem actually have to do with the camera or is something else?
Thanks

Before your camera quality went down hill did you do any upgrades ???
I didn't do any upgrades. I noticed that over time the pictures starting getting out of focus then the purple tint started.

This has been covered many many times.
Software changes can help to mask the problem.
But the real problem is a faulty sensor, which is why HTC covers this under warranty and have openly admitted to the issue.
They have to replace the sensor for a better one, to truly fix the issue.
Heat is what makes it show up the most, but its truly a hardware flaw and the only "real" solution is to have it repaired.
Im surprised to see anyone still asking this...as its been covered all over this site and the web.
I figured that was the case from what I read. HTC will not fix my phone for free because I have taken the phone apart and unlocked the bootloader. Is there any place for me to buy the upgraded camera at? I got 2 cameras off ebay and they were both worse thank the one that was in my phone.
